00:43:18.000So it's good to be done with work, done with this show.
00:43:22.000For at least a couple of days, and to celebrate America, and it very well could be the last Fourth of July, could be the last Independence Day in America.
00:43:33.000And that's going to be our featured story on the show tonight.
00:43:37.000And it's a legitimate question Will this be the last Independence Day for the United States?
00:43:59.000When we look at the presidential election this year between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, next year we very well could have President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams, something like that.
00:44:12.000And who knows if in a year's time we'll even be celebrating the 4th of July.
00:44:16.000We might be celebrating Juneteenth as some kind of a substitute.
00:44:28.000I thought that the rally was supposed to happen at 7 o'clock, and I'm not sure if I just have the wrong information or if it changed.
00:44:36.000But now the president is planning on speaking at 9 o'clock Central Time at Mount Rushmore, which you might have seen.
00:44:45.000And we're going to talk about the buildup to this rally tonight.
00:44:48.000We're going to talk about the protests that took place about an hour ago, but I think they were cleared out by the police and I think by the National Guard, too.
00:46:19.000And like I said, the plan is to talk about that and then we'll have a perfect segue into watching the Trump rally, watching the speech and the fireworks, and I'll give you some commentary and reaction.
00:46:32.000I know probably a lot of people are eager to see the speech, and I am too.
00:47:05.000This is a show that breaks new ground.
00:47:08.000This isn't anything that's going to break the ground or anything.
00:47:11.000This isn't anything that's going to make you go crazy, go crazy over this episode.
00:47:17.000But it is kind of interesting, and I did want to talk about it.
00:47:20.000You might have seen this, and I think I'm not sure if this happened today.
00:47:24.000I feel like I read about this a few days ago, but I never thought to cover it on the show.
00:47:30.000The New York Times and a number of other mainstream media publications are changing something very subtle in their protocol, in their formatting rules for their papers.
00:47:44.000Very subtle, but they all made sure to announce it in the past week or so.
00:47:48.000I think the Associated Press announced this earlier.
00:47:51.000The New York Times is now adopting the same principle.
00:47:55.000And what they announced is that henceforth, whenever they refer to black people, they're going to capitalize the B for black.
00:48:05.000And whenever they refer to white people, they're going to make the W lowercase.
00:48:10.000So the New York Times, AP, Reuters, all the major publications from now on, when they're talking about black Americans or black Africans or black whatever, black people, capital B, but with white people, it will remain a lowercase.
00:48:25.000So, I did want to talk a little bit about that.
00:48:28.000Those will be our two stories for tonight.
00:48:30.000Independence Day, will it be the final one?
00:51:19.000I'm not sure if it came out today or earlier this week, but they wrote a letter to their readers.
00:51:24.000And this is what it says concerning the style change.
00:51:28.000It says, At the Times and elsewhere, the nationwide protests over racism and police violence have prompted discussions about many aspects of our coverage.
00:51:38.000One element has been a renewed focus on a longstanding debate whether to capitalize the term black.
00:51:45.000We have talked to more than 100 staff members to get their views, reviewed the arguments that have been made over many years.
00:51:53.000And consulted with colleagues at other news organizations.
00:51:56.000The feedback has been thoughtful and nuanced.
00:51:59.000With a wide range of opinions among colleagues of all backgrounds, I'm sure it was really thoughtful.
00:52:05.000I'm sure they consulted with a lot of these educated blacks with their fancy degrees.
00:52:12.000I was watching on Nickelodeon the other day, they Skyped in with some racism expert, and he was some black guy with a master's degree, and he was supposed to be the expert on racism.
00:52:50.000I bet it was a bunch of low IQ idiots that work for this paper now.
00:52:54.000Anyway, it says based on those discussions, we've decided to adopt the change.
00:53:00.000And start using the uppercase black to describe people and cultures of African origin, both in the United States and elsewhere.
00:53:09.000We believe this style best conveys elements of shared history and identity and reflects our goal to be respectful of all people and communities we cover.
00:53:18.000The new style is also consistent with our treatment of many other racial and ethnic terms.
00:53:23.000We recently decided to capitalize Native and Indigenous, while other ethnic terms like Asian, American, and Latino have always been capitalized.
00:53:34.000We will retain lowercase treatment for white.
00:53:38.000While there is an obvious question of parallelism, there has been no comparable movement towards widespread adoption of a new style for white.
00:53:46.000And there is less of a sense that white describes a shared culture and history.
00:53:52.000Moreover, hate groups and white supremacists have long favored the uppercase style, which in itself is reason to avoid it.
00:54:02.000So, like I said at the top of the show, this is not a big deal.
00:54:07.000This is not something that really affects your life.
00:54:31.000Because, of course, it's not a big deal for all of us that the New York Times is now going to capitalize black and they don't capitalize white.
00:54:37.000But it does reflect the attitudes of the people that are making the opinions.
00:54:42.000For the country and the people that are making the information for the entire country.
00:54:47.000You think about journalists and publications and media, and this is a small collection of people that have more power than any of us.
00:54:58.000So, while it may not matter in your life that some faggy metrosexual in a beanie in Manhattan doesn't think we should capitalize the word white, maybe that's not a big deal to you.
00:55:09.000But think about the fact that all the people at the New York Times and all the people.
00:55:14.000In Associated Press and all the people in mainstream media, hundreds or maybe a few thousand people, all the journalists in the entire country, the outsized and disproportionate influence they have by way of social media, taste making, and reporting information.
00:55:50.000They say, well, out of parallelism, it's an obvious question of parallelism, but we're not going to capitalize white because they don't have a shared sense of identity or something.
00:56:22.000And so the powerful people in media that control your information and control the opinions that people have, they don't respect white people.
00:56:30.000They don't respect you enough to capitalize your word, even when it's glaringly hypocritical or a double standard.
00:56:38.000I think that just goes to show how much disrespect and antipathy they have towards the white man.
00:56:44.000Because it would be one thing if they didn't capitalize any of them, it would be one thing if they capitalized some of them.
00:56:51.000But they made sure to capitalize all of them and tell you they capitalized all of them except for one.
00:56:59.000And they also made sure to acknowledge that they know it's obvious and acknowledge that they know that you know it's obvious and to say that in spite of that, we're still not capitalizing it because we hate you that much.
00:57:18.000And the other argument is well, we're not going to capitalize white because white doesn't mean anything.
00:57:23.000That's essentially what they're saying.
00:57:25.000You know, the first argument why they're capitalizing black is because we want to respect blacks and we want to disrespect whites.
00:57:32.000But they also say, curiously, well, obviously there's this parallelism argument, but they say there is less a sense of white that describes a shared culture and history.
00:57:44.000So what they're really saying is not only do we hate white people, we're not even going to capitalize it out of courtesy or respect because we hate you.
00:58:04.000It's not the same as Asian or Latino because whites have no culture, no sense of shared identity or anything like that.
00:58:12.000So, even if we did respect you, white still wouldn't even be a thing.
00:58:15.000It's a term that doesn't mean anything.
00:58:17.000And on top of that, even if it did mean something and even if we did respect you, we still wouldn't capitalize it because of those horrible white supremacists that want this.
00:58:29.000And at this point, I see all these arguments that are being made in this country, and it kind of begs the question about what it means to be a white supremacist.
00:58:39.000Because for the past few months, and if you've been really paying attention, it's been this way for years and decades.
00:58:47.000They've been saying that if you believe in the United States of America, you're a white supremacist.
00:58:53.000If you believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, you're a white supremacist.
00:58:58.000If you believe that we should still have statues of George Washington and Christopher Columbus and Thomas Jefferson, you're a white supremacist.
00:59:04.000If you believe that America should remain a majority white nation, you're a white supremacist.
00:59:13.000And the question becomes at what point do people in the middle, or people that are not radicals, God forbid, or fringe or extreme or white supremacists, realize that there's no such thing as, well, I'm not a white supremacist, but.
00:59:33.000I'm not a white supremacist, but I think we should respect white people.
00:59:36.000I'm not a white supremacist, but I think that we should keep the statues of Washington and Lincoln and Jesus Christ and so on.
01:01:35.000It's more sick perversion from the mainstream media.
01:01:40.000And as far as I'm concerned, just like an open declaration of war.
01:01:43.000Because when are we going to wake up and understand the situation that we're in now as a group of people, as white people?
01:01:52.000Because understand, they're singling out us as a group.
01:01:55.000It's not, like I said, it's not Republicans or Christians or Trump supporters, it's white people.
01:01:59.000When are we as a people going to wake up and realize that this is problematic and it's unacceptable?
01:02:05.000It's unacceptable that in this country that white people built and this country of which white people are still a majority, we are disrespected in this manner.
01:02:40.000Filipino and Japanese and Korean and Chinese, and none of them can get along.
01:02:46.000But there's no sense of shared white identity.
01:02:48.000There certainly is when you're talking about voting white people out of office and making the country minority white and making fun of white people.
01:02:56.000Of course, there's shared white history.
01:03:44.000And race isn't everything, but it's not nothing, and especially now, and especially with something like this.
01:03:50.000In this case, you could say arguably it's everything.
01:03:52.000So I saw the letter from the New York Times, and like I said, more of the same, but it's really worth reflecting on that the biggest media outlets in the country, like I said, you cannot overstate their influence.
01:04:05.000You know, and people might say, oh, well, who listens to the New York Times?
01:04:08.000And that's true, and I said that earlier.
01:04:10.000But it's also true that it's not just the New York Times, it's all of them.
01:04:14.000And it's also true that all of them are increasingly relevant even on the internet, even on social media.
01:04:22.000Because at the same time that people like me are getting censored and suppressed and banned online, all of the legacy media outlets are being artificially elevated in the search algorithms, on Twitter, on YouTube, on your timeline.
01:04:38.000When they're curating content on all the big platforms, they're not pulling from these reputable, objective, mainstream sources like the New York Times.
01:04:47.000And these are the people that actively hate you.
01:04:49.000And that really is the sort of final transition that has to happen for a lot of conservatives to wake up to the real dimension, this racial dimension, but also to recognize the gravity and the severity of this.
01:05:03.000You know, I think a lot of conservatives will look at something like this and they'll roll their eyes and they'll say, wow.
01:05:12.000You know, maybe a right wing person might post a picture of the Huffington Post editorial board, which is all white people, and they'll say, wow, the mainstream media doesn't like white people, but there's a lot of white.
01:05:24.000You know, they'll make some comment to the effect of the left isn't living up to their own standards or the left isn't left enough, you know, or make some snarky comment, but completely missing the point and completely misunderstanding the severity of this that the entire mainstream media.
01:05:43.000It's not that they disagree with you, they hate you.
01:05:54.000And you know what's the grand irony in all of this?
01:05:57.000If any of what I'm saying sounds dramatic, maybe you should visit a Holocaust museum, or maybe you should listen to what the ADL or the SPLC says.
01:06:06.000Because what our kids are being taught in primary school and high school is that this is how a Holocaust starts, this is how a genocide starts, right?
01:06:19.000And if we could put it in terms that conservatives would understand, this is what they teach us in schools leads to another Holocaust for Jewish people.
01:06:30.000They say that you cannot make anti Semitic jokes because that leads to dehumanization, and dehumanization leads to gulags or ghettos, right?
01:06:43.000You cannot make a cookie joke because that leads to real anti Semitism, and real anti Semitism leads to.
01:06:50.000People being rounded up and blah, blah, blah, and this and that.
01:06:53.000So, if you think anything that I'm saying sounds like it's exaggerated or melodramatic or something, you could just take a look at anything the ADL says or the SPLC says about literally any other group.
01:07:04.000That's maybe the biggest irony of all.
01:07:07.000You know, here you have this double standard where it's every other group gets their uppercase letter, but fuck white people.
01:07:14.000And if you try and make a big deal out of it, they're going to try and minimize it, even though they themselves will make a big deal out of the parallel thing if it's said about.
01:07:23.000Any other group of people, in particular Jewish people, right?
01:07:26.000If this were happening to any other group of people, it would literally be another Holocaust.
01:07:30.000It would literally be another genocide, right?
01:07:33.000If the New York Times came out with a letter that said, we're not going to capitalize Jewish because, you know, that applies to like religious people, but also secular Jews and blah, blah, blah, the ADL would literally go in and shut them down and say, we must never forget the six million, right?
01:07:51.000So, and then, and unironically, in this case, it's actually true.
01:07:55.000And unironically, in this case, Totally true.
01:07:58.000Because all signs point to this, and all the arrows point to this.
01:08:03.000The only reason people think that that might sound ridiculous is because we're still in the majority.
01:08:08.000But that won't be the case any longer.
01:08:10.000So, what happens when we're in the minority?
01:08:12.000Your kids are in the minority, and they're capitalizing everybody else, and everybody else is a winner, and everybody else has great and valuable culture, and you're the lowercase.
01:08:22.000And you've got whatever the patch is that indicates you have European ancestry or whatever.
01:09:24.000And it kind of sucks because everything's canceled because of coronavirus.
01:09:29.000For example, like the fireworks in my town are not, they're not doing the fireworks.
01:09:35.000And a lot of festivities have been called off.
01:09:38.000So that's not great, but it's also not good for other reasons.
01:09:42.000This is the 4th of July, and it comes at a weird time, not just because of the coronavirus, but because of what's been happening with George Floyd and with Black Lives Matter and so on.
01:09:53.000And the title of this show is The Last Independence Day Ever, right?
01:10:00.000The Last 4th of July, and obviously, you know, it will be the 4th of July again, the way that you'll have the 4th day in the month of July next year.
01:10:10.000But this might be the last Independence Day for our country, especially with the way things have been going, the way things have been going with BLM and riots and so on, monuments, statues.
01:10:22.000And I think it's a question that's worth asking because next year, obviously, if Trump is still the president, we're going to have another Independence Day.
01:10:30.000But there's a good possibility and there's a good chance that Joe Biden will be the president.
01:11:15.000Statues of George Washington and Ben Franklin.
01:11:18.000You know, maybe people understood the Confederate monuments and things like that, but I think we can all agree that the scope of these protests and the hatred towards the country has obviously expanded.
01:11:30.000It's obviously moved around a lot, and now it's a much bigger scope of what they hate, and especially with what you've been seeing in the past few weeks.
01:11:39.000And we're going to talk a little bit about what's happening tonight the speech at Mount Rushmore.
01:11:43.000I think you all understand the gist of what's going on with this Independence Day and where we stand with that.
01:11:48.000I think that whoever comes into power after Trump, whether that happens this year or in four years, I think that we're going to see the timeline accelerate even further and even faster and towards a pretty inevitable conclusion, which is that all of the every aspect of the country that reflects the way America used to be will be stripped away.
01:12:11.000And it won't just be the statues and it won't just be the holidays, but it'll be our own Independence Day and it'll be the Constitution.
01:12:20.000I don't think it's outside the question that within this decade or within a couple of decades, you're going to have something built up that looks like the Slavery Museum in Washington, D.C., and they'll make that the new White House.
01:12:33.000And think about it what would be the argument?
01:12:34.000Well, the White House was built by slaves, and it's white.
01:12:48.000I mean, who would build it if not for the slaves?
01:12:51.000I mean, If they were going to give it to white people, it's like, well, then you're giving them jobs.
01:12:56.000So I don't know who's exactly going to build that.
01:13:00.000Who are going to be the construction workers that actually put together the black house, the new white house, or whatever?
01:13:04.000But it sounds crazy, but things like this are on the horizon.
01:13:09.000Every single aspect of what our country is supposed to be is going to be changed, is going to be destroyed, and then replaced by something uglier, something radical, something progressive, postmodern, revolutionary.
01:13:23.000And this is only the beginning, right?
01:13:24.000I mean, We had Juneteenth a month ago, and I think that was probably the trial run in the prototype for the new Independence Day.
01:13:30.000But we saw today, I think maybe this is one of these historic battles, sort of like the Battle of Mount Rushmore.
01:13:40.000We've been seeing the protests and the statues being removed.
01:13:44.000And today we saw something happening at Mount Rushmore.
01:13:47.000The president is going to do a rally tonight at Mount Rushmore.
01:13:52.000And it's interesting to see what exactly he'll say because.
01:13:56.000The timing of this and the location, I think, suggests what the tone is going to be and what the message is going to be, which is that it's going to be this counterattack, counteroffensive against the left, and particularly against the people trying to destroy our history.
01:14:14.000Although it'll be interesting to see exactly what the substance is, exactly what the words he uses are, what the angle will be, because very easily it could go in a lot of different directions.
01:14:40.000Even though we get this sort of basic premise, it's at Mount Rushmore.
01:14:45.000It's after Trump has been posting warrants for people vandalizing monuments and signed the executive order talking about prosecuting people that are vandalizing monuments.
01:14:55.000We kind of get the premise, but it'll be interesting to see what direction it goes in.
01:14:59.000But of course, the president cannot go to Mount Rushmore on the 4th of July to give a speech without giant protests.
01:15:08.000And so, this is a little report about the buildup to this event tonight.
01:15:13.000It says, quote, leaders of two tribes of the Sioux Nation have spoken out ahead of a planned Independence Day celebration at Mount Rushmore, with one criticizing President Donald Trump's event and the other saying that the national monument should be removed altogether.
01:15:28.000Harold Frazier, the chairman of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Offered to destroy Mount Rushmore himself in a statement posted to Twitter on June 30th.
01:15:39.000He said, Nothing stands as a greater reminder to the great Sioux nation.
01:15:47.000I think it's really a nation of alcoholics and with not a lot of stuff.
01:15:50.000But anyway, of the great Sioux nation, of a country that cannot keep a promise or treaty, then the faces carved into our sacred land on what the United States calls Mount Rushmore.
01:16:03.000We are now being forced to witness the lashing of our land with pomp, arrogance, and fire, hoping our sacred lands will survive.
01:16:12.000This brand on our flesh needs to be removed, and I am willing to do it free of charge to the United States by myself if I must.
01:16:20.000The United States of America wishes for all of us to be citizens and a family of their republic, yet when they get bored of looking at those faces, we are left looking at our molesters.
01:16:31.000We are the ones who live under the stare of those who have wronged us, while others have the privilege to look away and move on.
01:16:46.000And this is really the equivalent of what we're seeing with everything with the statues of the Confederates.
01:16:52.000They're taking down the statues of Confederate generals and of presidents, even that own slaves, because blacks are angry at them.
01:17:02.000Even if whites are taking them down, they're being taken down to appease black people.
01:17:07.000And they're taking them down to appease black people because.
01:17:10.000Blacks have the same grievances against those people and those statues that the Indians have against Mount Rushmore.
01:17:19.000And the same is true for every other aspect of our country that Mexicans have a problem with, and Asians have a problem with, and every non white group, plus homosexuals and transgenders and women, they all have the same antipathy, this historical vengeance against these figures.
01:17:39.000And the question is with this one in particular.
01:17:47.000Why are we not going to destroy this person in particular?
01:17:52.000Why is the United States not going to go into this great Sioux nation and wipe them out when their leader is talking about destroying one of our national landmarks?
01:18:06.000And I really think this is an important one to consider because of the nature of this example.
01:18:12.000Native Americans, or American Indians, as I like to call them, we are the Native Americans.
01:18:18.000The American Indians in this country are a separate entity, they're not citizens.
01:18:24.000They do not live under the Constitution.
01:18:26.000They don't even live in the United States of America.
01:18:29.000They live in sovereign settlements, essentially, right?
01:18:35.000These reservations, which operate as separate countries.
01:18:41.000And obviously, for a lot of logistical reasons, we consider them the same.
01:18:45.000They're within the United States, but they're not the United States.
01:18:49.000So, this guy, the leader of the Sioux Indian Nation, who's talking about destroying Mount Rushmore, he is the equivalent of, to our United States government, The president of a foreign country.
01:19:01.000He might as well be Hassan Rouhani from Iran or Xi Jinping from China or Putin from Russia.
01:19:08.000Could you imagine if Vladimir Putin was talking about destroying Mount Rushmore, I'll do it myself, or Bashar al Assad or Saddam Hussein or anybody like that?
01:19:19.000Of course, there would be a significant response if a foreign leader were threatening us like that.
01:19:24.000You know, at least there would be a response in the form of rhetoric, maybe military.
01:19:29.000And this guy is somebody who's totally under our thumb.
01:19:31.000And I'm sure their entire country is dependent on us completely, on our resources, on people going to their casinos or patronizing their businesses, right?
01:19:42.000And I think it's worth considering, and that's kind of besides the point.
01:19:45.000This example is worth considering in particular because I think it lays bare exactly what the dynamic is with these people.
01:19:55.000And the Native Americans, specifically, are a foreign nation.
01:19:59.000The Native Americans talking about destroying Mount Rushmore are a foreign nation in the same way that blacks talking about destroying Confederate monuments are a foreign nation, or destroying monuments to George Washington, in the same way that Mexicans talking about retaking the Southwest are a foreign nation, in the same way that all the radicals that stand against our country are a foreign nation.
01:20:24.000Even though they're not technically and logistically on paper a foreign nation like The American Indians, they represent a kind of spiritual foreign identity, which is to say that even if they're in the United States, like the American Indians, or citizens of the United States, unlike the American Indians, they still stand opposed to our country, to our nation, to our government, to the veterans, to our fallen heroes,
01:20:54.000throughout history, to the whole thing.
01:20:57.000And so, why do we think of it as anything other than that?
01:20:59.000Anything other than foreign nations or An insurrection happening within our own borders, that they're aliens committing sedition in our country.
01:21:10.000Why do we consider it as anything other than that?
01:21:29.000We are looking down on these Indian reservations because we defeated them.
01:21:34.000We defeated them fair and square in a war.
01:21:37.000And we should be proud of that because our country is better than theirs.
01:21:42.000When we came to North America, this country was totally undeveloped.
01:21:46.000This land was not the United States yet, it wasn't even America.
01:21:50.000It had some goofy Indian name and it had nothing here.
01:21:54.000It had human sacrifices and no civilization anywhere to be found.
01:21:59.000And we came here and we took a small swamp, for example, on the East Coast, and we turned it into New York City.
01:22:06.000And we took a mountain like this and we turned it into Mount Rushmore.
01:22:09.000And we took the West Coast and we turned it into Silicon Valley, where we create iPhones and computers, and that's not exactly right, but you understand, software and technology and so on.
01:23:16.000Because when the monuments come down and the demographics change, so too will the country.
01:23:22.000And so, probably there won't even be any monuments in the new country because there will be nothing to build a monument to.
01:23:30.000There will be nothing that is worth remembering like that.
01:23:33.000There is nothing that merits a monument being built to that.
01:23:37.000There will be nothing to look up to because we will be in squalor.
01:23:41.000We'll be in total, just like everywhere else in the world where all these people reside without Columbus and without Washington and without Christ and without all the rest.
01:23:52.000These people will be looking at the ground where they are everywhere else and where they will be soon here.
01:23:58.000So to me, I read this letter, and a lot of conservatives.
01:24:02.000You know, for a long time, they look at these kinds of challenges to our country and to our history and our heritage, and they have just sort of like a very weak response or a non response.
01:24:14.000A lot of Americans will look at something like this and maybe they'll come up with some kind of rationalization.
01:24:19.000You know, like Dinesh D'Souza is a good example.
01:24:22.000In his book, he writes that, well, you know, actually, 500 years ago, when we defeated the Native Americans, or I guess a couple hundred years ago, when we defeated the Native Americans, The world had a conquest ethic.
01:24:38.000And so when America beat the Native Americans, even though by today's standards it's unethical, at the time those were the ethics of the day.
01:24:46.000And so the Native Americans were acting in a reciprocal way and that made it fair.
01:24:51.000And therefore, so either there's this sort of weak rationalization or a lot of people just sort of turn the other way.
01:24:59.000It's kind of like inconvenient, uncomfortable.
01:25:01.000They, in some ways, sympathize with the plight of American Indians, they want to be friends with them, but they also love their country.
01:25:57.000So they can either accept it and accept that we've given them land, we've given them reservations, they can leave, or they can try their hand.
01:26:06.000And that, by the way, goes out to every one of these groups.
01:26:10.000You know, for all the ungrateful people that have come here and taken advantage of the country that whites built, you can get out.
01:26:18.000Or he can make a challenge, but until then, stop whining.
01:26:21.000And I guess what's happening now is they're making a challenge.
01:26:24.000What's happening right now, and a lot of conservatives don't want to acknowledge this because they're doing it in a tactful way, but they're making a challenge.
01:26:32.000Rather than go back, because nobody wants to go back, rather than do their own thing, they want to take a shot at the title.
01:26:40.000They want to re litigate history now that they're strengthened in numbers and whites are weakened.
01:26:45.000But that is ultimately what's going on here.
01:26:47.000The sentiment from this Native American is not at all dissimilar.
01:26:52.000Or American Indian is not at all dissimilar from the sentiment of all these rioters and protesters that we've been hearing from for the past six weeks.
01:27:14.000Our country is the reason that these people live.
01:27:17.000Our country is the greatest country in the history of the world.
01:27:20.000We're going to tear it down because some people are upset.
01:27:24.000And by the way, it'll get torn down if we're ashamed for it.
01:27:26.000So, you know, the only answer at this point is pride and to understand what's happening, which is we're in a war here between different countries.
01:27:36.000And sometimes they're real countries, and sometimes they're countries within our own country, but that doesn't make them any less foreign in that capacity.
01:27:43.000So, that was the message from this great Sioux leader.
01:27:47.000And maybe on this Independence Day, or maybe in a future Independence Day, we can declare our independence from people like this.
01:27:54.000And say, you know what, we are not the same nation.
01:27:57.000And in the same way that on the 4th of July, 244 years ago, we declared our independence from the British, who were abusing us in a number of different ways, maybe there will come a day in our future when we can declare independence from people that hate us and take advantage of us at the same time.
01:28:16.000So that was the Sioux leader, but that wasn't all.
01:28:19.000That was earlier this week, and he talked about how he's going to destroy Mount Rushmore.
01:28:23.000And of course, he's not going to do that.
01:28:24.000He's going to continue to bitch and moan and complain.
01:28:28.000While he is safe on his Indian reservation, you know, safe from savagery or barbarism or the government or anything like that, he's going to agitate in the media.
01:28:39.000But there was a little bit of an incident.
01:28:40.000There was a little bit of a dust up just before the rally, which happened tonight, which happened a couple of hours ago.
01:28:49.000So, like I said earlier, Trump is making a speech tonight at Mount Rushmore, and this is supposed to be a big middle finger to all the protesters that are challenging American identity and challenging statues.
01:29:01.000He's going to give a speech in front of.
01:29:03.000Statue carved into a mountain, which is a little bit trickier to destroy.
01:29:07.000And there's been some protests outside this rally.
01:29:10.000And I'll read to you this is a report about what happened just about an hour and a half ago.
01:29:15.000It says, People are blocking a road leading to Mount Rushmore, where President Donald Trump is slated to hold an Independence Day celebration a day before the holiday.
01:29:25.000Authorities worked to move the demonstrators, mostly Native Americans, protesting that South Dakota's Black Hills were taken from the Lakota people against treaty agreements.
01:29:37.000Authorities declared the gathering an unlawful assembly, and projectiles were fired at the group that emitted smoke.
01:29:44.000Most of the fireworks show attendees had already arrived before protesters blockaded the road.
01:29:49.000More than 100 protesters, mostly Native Americans, lined the road leading from Keystone, South Dakota to the monument, holding signs and playing Lakota music in 95 degree heat.
01:30:01.000Some held their fists in the air as cars loaded with event attendees passed by.
01:30:07.000Others held signs that said, Protect Sodax First People, you are on stolen land, and dismantle white supremacy.
01:30:15.000There's that word again white supremacy.
01:30:17.000Protesters used vans to barricade the road.
01:30:20.000Police wearing ride gear and holding shields moved in on the protesters from both sides and warned them to disperse, but took no further action.
01:30:28.000One group parked three vans across the road and took the tires from two of them to make it more difficult to move them.
01:30:35.000Several demonstrators climbed on top of the vans, chanting, Land Back.
01:30:40.000Police warned the protesters to disperse, but didn't take any immediate action against them.
01:30:46.000So I don't know if anybody saw this, but this is being streamed, and like 100,000 people are watching the stream.
01:30:52.000They took three vans and they parked them across the street, not like on the other side of the street, but across the width of the street.
01:31:00.000And they took the wheels off the vans so that you couldn't just get in them and drive them and move them away, so that they would be basically impenetrable.
01:31:08.000And they get on top of the vans and they're cheering and chanting.
01:31:12.000And the police moved in, they pushed the protesters back, and then they towed away all the vans.
01:31:16.000So I think at this point, the venue is no longer under a blockade.
01:31:26.000And, you know, once again, this is just a sign of the times, which is to say that if you were to tell anybody five years ago, maybe six years ago, that the president couldn't give a speech in Mount Rushmore on the 4th of July without a giant protest barricading the streets and the National Guard has to come in and remove vans and remove hundreds of protesters and so on, I don't think anybody would believe you that this is the case.
01:31:56.000Where we are in the country in this battle.
01:31:58.000It really is like a battle in that sense.
01:32:00.000It's like the Battle of Mount Rushmore, where Donald Trump and Donald Trump supporters, the supporters of so called white supremacy, are going to gather at Mount Rushmore to rally in defense of their monuments.
01:32:12.000And the enemies of America, in this case the Native Americans or the American Indians, will descend upon the monument to blockade it and to protest it and to try to cause any trouble that they can.
01:32:24.000And at what point does this escalate into outright violence?
01:32:28.000I think that's the question that needs to be asked on a day like today because what we're seeing is pretty clear.
01:32:36.000Like I said with the New York Times letter, and like I said a moment ago with the Sioux leader, the leader of the Sioux tribe, it's clear where these dividing lines are, right?
01:32:46.000It's clear that we can demarcate clear and differentiated sides that are in conflict.
01:32:53.000And what's the dividing line at this point?
01:33:10.000Is it people protesting capitalism outside the pro capitalism rally?
01:33:16.000Or when you see people taking down the Confederate monuments, is that communists taking down monuments to liberals?
01:33:25.000Is that Democrats taking down monuments to Republicans?
01:33:29.000Or is it blacks taking down statues of whites?
01:33:32.000Is it Native Americans protesting a sculpture carved into the mountain of white people?
01:33:39.000Is it collectively non white people protesting white heritage, white culture, the white country, the white president, and his white supporters?
01:34:56.000It's going to be half white people, half non white people.
01:34:59.000So, at what point do people say we care enough about these issues that we're now willing to use violence in order to achieve our objectives?
01:35:08.000Because right now, the only thing that's preventing that is that at this point, violence is probably not going to be.
01:39:20.000You know, these Indians here, is it really about Mount Rushmore or is it about that they hate America because America took everything from them?
01:39:28.000Why would we give an inch to people that hate us?
01:39:31.000And this is the case with all these groups.
01:39:33.000You know, blacks, when they tear down the statue of Robert E. Lee, is that going to be enough?
01:39:37.000Are they going to say, oh, okay, now we're good.
01:40:26.000You know, I look at like Donald Trump as a great example with criminal justice reform.
01:40:31.000Donald Trump, in an effort to win over black voters who voted for him 6% in 2016, he passed criminal justice reform.
01:40:40.000And did all of the people that hate him and think that he's racist from the black community say, wow, thank you so much, you're not as bad as we thought.
01:40:49.000Or did they say, fuck you, that's not good enough.
01:40:52.000Fuck you, you only did that because you won our votes.
01:41:54.000And people, I think every person in their own mind has an idea of sort of like what that final line is, what the line in the sand will be, their red line.
01:42:06.000Well, you know, if they take down a statue of Lincoln, well, then that's unacceptable.
01:42:10.000Well, if they change Fourth of July, that's unacceptable.
01:42:13.000If they change the First Amendment, the White House, the Capitol building, the city of Washington, D.C., its name, well, that would be the last straw.
01:42:42.000No part of the country is not currently being negotiated with this mob of people.
01:42:48.000And so, unless you're ready to defend Robert E. Lee, you're not ready to defend George Washington.
01:42:56.000Unless you're ready to defend Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson and Appomattox and down the list, you're not ready to defend Monticello or the Jefferson Memorial or the name Washington, D.C., or any part of the Constitution.
01:43:29.000And you're either on one side or you're on the other, but there's no middle ground anymore.
01:43:33.000In a war between two countries, there's not a middle where you get to say, well, I don't know, I like parts of this one and these guys have a point.
01:43:52.000But there are people that seem to believe that in the middle of a war, you can say, well, of course I'm with our side, but their side makes a lot of great points.
01:43:59.000And maybe we just need to listen to their side.
01:44:01.000And maybe their side can give them this city, and we're not going to use our airplanes because that's not fair.
01:44:08.000I mean, that's the equivalent of what's happening.
01:44:13.000It all comes down to the big rally tonight.
01:44:16.000I'm very eager to see what the president says.
01:44:18.000He's going to give a speech about what's been going on.
01:44:22.000And I'm hoping that he chose Mount Rushmore.
01:44:25.000And I'm hoping that that report in Axios about him ditching Kushner earlier this week was true.
01:44:33.000And I'm hoping that what this represents is that he's returning to his instincts, which is to say he's going to go to the biggest monument in America and he's going to make the case for American identity and American culture and our American nation.
01:44:49.000And he's going to stop with the appeasement and stop with the criminal justice reform and the.
01:44:53.000Compromises and the half measures and the ignoring the problem.
01:44:58.000I hope that he's going to go to Mount Rushmore on the 4th of July and say, We're not apologizing for being America.
01:45:59.000The future of Independence Day is at stake, the future of our country.
01:46:04.000I honestly wouldn't be surprised if in my lifetime it's not even called America anymore.
01:46:11.000You know, and this is barring America being split up into different countries or different regions or something.
01:46:17.000I don't think it's outside the question that they'll change the name of the country, they'll change the name of the states, the cities, they'll change all the buildings, the government buildings, you know, White House, Capitol building, that's gone, Washington Monument.
01:46:33.000I wonder what the country will look like by the end of our lives, everybody watching the show, because I would bet you that if we don't win this, you are going to see a reality where you're talking about the George Floyd Memorial, and it's a giant, maybe they'll just blow up Lincoln and they'll just put George Floyd sitting on that giant chair inside the Pantheon, right?
01:46:58.000And the George Washington Monument will be replaced.
01:47:12.000Now it remains to be seen what will be said.
01:47:14.000So I think the speech is starting in about 10 minutes.
01:47:19.000And like I said, I want to cover it live.
01:47:21.000So I think I'll read a few super chats and then we will transition over and we'll watch the Trump speech on this stream because I want to watch it.
01:48:33.000I want to believe that we're going to have.
01:48:36.000That Trump is going to come out and he's going to say what needs to be said.
01:48:40.000He's going to come out and he's really going to redefine the campaign and make it about what it needs to be about.
01:48:46.000But, you know, we've seen this entire act before, have we not?
01:48:51.000We've seen the State of the Unions, we've seen the rallies where it turns into a black unemployment thing, it turns into more immigrants than ever before thing, it turns into a Holocaust survivor thing.
01:59:56.000So, anyway, like I was saying, you know, when it comes to Tucker, of course, people that are like the biggest losers in the right wing would have a problem with him because he's actually formidable and he's actually influential.
02:00:12.000I mean, like the most influential conservative in the country, with the exception probably of Donald Trump.
02:06:04.000But I wouldn't be able to stream it because whenever you go to these big rallies, I don't know what causes it, but you can never get good reception.
02:06:21.000I'm a proud member of the world famous 34th Bomb Squadron Thunderbirds at Ellsworth Air Force Base.
02:06:26.000I'm Captain Garrett Boomack from Rapid City, South Dakota.
02:06:30.000I'm a B 1 Weapon Systems Officer and proud member of the 37th Bomb Squadron Tigers at Ellsworth.
02:06:34.000Coming up, you'll witness the awesome power of the B 1B Lancer, a strategic bomber capable of long range, long duration missions with a top speed of 1,000 miles per hour.
02:06:43.000This guy looks kind of familiar, carrying the largest payload of both guided and unguided weapons in the Air Force inventory.
02:07:18.000Your United States Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron takes pleasure in performing for you here at Mount Rushmore, South Dakota.
02:07:25.000Since 1946, the Blue Angels have had the unique privilege of demonstrating to the American public the precision techniques of naval aviation.
02:07:34.000Hoping to inspire a culture of excellence in service country.
02:07:38.000Here at Mount Rushmore, we will perform a flyby in traditional Blue Angel formation so that you may see and take pride in the precise fashion in which your Navy and Marine Corps pilots are trained to fly.
02:10:01.000And let me just tell you that I am incredibly proud.
02:10:05.000To have all of you who are first timers here, and I know there are people from all over the country visiting because I've talked to a few of you today.
02:10:15.000And we're so happy, whether it's New Hampshire or Delaware or wherever you came from, you had a trek.
02:10:21.000But I know you're happy to be in this great state.
02:10:24.000I have a long association with Mount Rushmore, and it's making me mad that those guys up there in Granite aren't aging because, yeah, as a young kid, I was here with my family.
02:10:35.000And then, as Miss South, Dakota and I, thank you.
02:11:10.000In 1991, I had the great joy of co hosting with fellow South Dakotan Tom Brokaw the rededication and 50th, the golden anniversary of Mount Rushmore.
02:11:23.000And we were honored by the presence of our 41st president, George Herbert Wonker Bush, and our first lady, Barbara Bush.
02:11:31.000And I'm bringing this up because President Bush, we went fishing with Trump.
02:11:41.000I just wanted to offer that I have a tackle box and I can put a live wriggling worm on a hook in case you and Melania would like to, you know, try to catch a few before you leave or when you come back.
02:11:57.000I am so honored to be here with the ceremonies tonight.
02:12:01.000And I know we are all so proud of our men and women in uniform.
02:12:38.000That was a terrible decade, but we turned out to be a better nation.
02:12:42.000And with everything going on now, I know that we can come together, sharing and listening to one another's ideas, and we can yet again become a better nation.
02:13:02.000It has been 11 years since fireworks were last seen here on Mount Rushmore, and we are so excited to bring them back.
02:13:09.000And I would like to thank Secretary Bernhardt, our Interior Secretary, for helping Governor Nome, and thank you, President Trump, for making this beautiful evening happen.
02:13:34.000And I want to thank all the incredible people who did those flyovers.
02:13:38.000And I just couldn't help but think when we saw Air Force One flying over President Trump, that bird's eye view of the monuments must have been maybe even more spectacular for you than it was for us.
02:13:48.000But we are so proud that you did both of those flyovers, and we are so proud that you are here.
02:14:06.000And now I would like to introduce our first speaker, a very special woman, someone who I have gotten to know through the years.
02:14:14.000You have gotten to know her, you fellow South Dakotans.
02:14:18.000She is a leader consistently challenging the status quo and working to make it stronger for the next generation.
02:14:24.000She's a lifelong South Dakotan, and from the time she could walk, she worked beside her dad on the ranch.
02:15:41.000Jordan B says, also, you were 100% right about the dumpster fire of content that the 2000s represents.
02:15:49.000All of my normie friends who are coming around now were steadily on the atheism, individualism, one race, human race train five years ago, and it led them nowhere.
02:16:02.000Jordan B says, was out running errands today, and with everything going on, I feel like at any point I could be witnessing the next viral moment, and I might have to step in to moderate.
02:16:13.000Every cashier interaction I see between whites and non whites now feels like an international moment waiting to happen.
02:16:23.000Just about every interaction between blacks and whites in this country, you know, theoretically, it does have that potential.
02:16:32.000Because it could go south, it could go south on camera, and then it could go viral.
02:16:35.000I mean, that's really any time you're interacting with a non white person, you should keep that in mind that you might be on camera or that they might come back with a camera.
02:20:22.000Keith Woods was on Mark Collette's show the other day and said, There is no difference between people like Nick Fuentes and Richard Spencer.
02:20:29.000How people can't make the distinction is beyond me.
02:20:31.000Collette is doing himself no favors by talking to Wignats like that.
02:21:15.000You know, all of my political views basically proceed from my belief in God.
02:21:20.000Specifically, my belief in Christianity and Christian virtues.
02:21:26.000You know, how can you be a conservative and believe in an idea like public virtue if you don't even know what virtue is, or if virtue is arbitrary to you or confusing?
02:21:36.000So, I mean, you really cannot be, in my opinion, coherently America first without being Christian.
02:21:44.000And they're not only not Christian, they're against Christianity.
02:22:32.000And don't get me wrong, it's not to say that you can have a society that is genetically more predisposed to being more orderly or more functional, but nevertheless, still human, still having those same faults, still having those same limitations.
02:22:50.000So, those things, I think, for a lot of people might seem general or nebulous, but to me, you know, we couldn't be further away when it comes to the big stuff, when it comes to the.
02:23:03.000You know, the big picture worldview, and that's the stuff that matters.
02:23:07.000I mean, yeah, we both acknowledge that white people are dying off, but so do liberals, you know?
02:23:13.000People say, oh, well, how are you not alt right?
02:23:30.000So, you know, and it's not like I even say that because.
02:23:36.000It's like, oh, well, now the media won't call me alt right.
02:23:39.000It's because there's a real distinction, and people should know that.
02:23:43.000It's worth discussing those differences.
02:23:46.000So I don't know what Keith Woods is talking about, but Cody Cigar says, why not check out a society and live rural and isolated because I have to save the country?
02:23:56.000I'd like to do that, but it'd be very selfish of me.
02:23:59.000Groyper Wave says, racism experts say we should write white people in teeny tiny letters.
02:25:42.000Even if you can change their minds or you think you can, it's much better to have a close relationship with friends or family than to align with your friends on politics.
02:25:52.000And I can tell you that as somebody that lost most of my friends because of my politics, it's not pleasant, and I wish it could have been avoided.
02:26:01.000In my case, it couldn't because of what I do.
02:26:03.000And I tried my best to salvage my relationships with people that didn't like my politics.
02:26:39.000But the other half, it really bothered them, and they would always antagonize me.
02:26:43.000And it got to the point where the other half that didn't care just didn't want to have me around because I would, you know, by virtue of me being there, it would turn into a big conflict.
02:26:52.000So in my case, it wasn't avoidable, and I can tell you as somebody, That did not have great control over the situation, it's much better to have a good relationship than to not.
02:27:58.000Have that dialogue, but you know, I think it's very weird when you have these like ultra liberal or ultra conservative parents and they like indoctrinate their kids and not even with their political values, but with like specific ideas about politics, you know, like when they're taking their kids to these like resist rallies or whatever.
02:28:18.000To me, that's I don't know, and of course, now it's a little bit different.
02:28:23.000I think now it's different than it was 15 years ago.
02:28:26.000You know, for example, I would take my kids to a Trump rally and we'd be.
02:28:30.000It's a different time now, but I'm talking about like 10 years ago.
02:28:34.000You know, imagine 10 years ago being hyper political.
02:28:37.000I mean, politics wasn't as salient as it is now in that sort of like unipolar moment, that 20 years between the end of the Cold War and like maybe the rise of Trump, maybe that 15 year period.
02:33:34.000People get defensive about like literally everything, but I think the deep down people that drink, maybe they're like, oh, Don't attack my thing.
02:38:14.000Let us show our appreciation to the South Dakota Army and Air National Guard and the U.S. Air Force for inspiring us with that magnificent display of American air power.
02:38:30.000And of course, our gratitude to our legendary and very talented Blue Angels.
02:39:29.000There could be no better place to celebrate America's independence than beneath this magnificent, incredible, majestic mountain and monument to the greatest Americans who have ever lived.
02:39:44.000Today, we pay tribute to the exceptional lives and extraordinary legacies of George Washington.
02:39:50.000Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt.
02:40:00.000I am here as your president to proclaim before the country and before the world this monument will never be desecrated, these heroes will never be defaced, their legacy will never, ever be destroyed, their achievements will never be forgotten.
02:41:02.000At those words, every American heart should swell with pride, every American family should cheer with delight, and every American patriot should be filled with joy because each of you lives in the most magnificent country in the history of the world, and it will soon be greater than ever before.
02:41:35.000Our founders launched not only a revolution in government, but a revolution in the pursuit of justice, equality, liberty, and prosperity.
02:41:45.000No nation has done more to advance the human condition than the United States of America.
02:41:52.000And no people have done more to promote human progress than the citizens of our great nation.
02:42:05.000It was all made possible by the courage of 56 patriots who gathered in Philadelphia 244 years ago and signed the Declaration of Independence.
02:42:24.000They enshrined a divine truth that changed the world forever when they said, All men are created equal.
02:42:34.000These immortal words set in motion the unstoppable march of freedom.
02:42:40.000Our founders boldly declared that we are all endowed with the same divine rights given us by our Creator in heaven, and that which God has given us, we will allow no one ever to take away, ever.
02:43:09.0001776 represented the culmination of thousands of years of Western civilization and the triumph of not only spirit, but of wisdom, philosophy, and reason.
02:43:24.000And yet, as we meet here tonight, there is a growing danger that threatens every blessing our ancestors fought so hard for, struggled, they bled to secure.
02:43:40.000Our nation is witnessing a merciless campaign to wipe out our history, to fame our heroes, erase our values, and indoctrinate our children.
02:43:59.000Angry mobs are trying to tear down statues of our founders, to face our most sacred memorials, and unleash a wave of violent crime in our cities.
02:44:12.000Many of these people have no idea why they are doing this, but some know exactly what they are doing.
02:44:19.000They think the American people are weak and soft and submissive.
02:44:27.000But no, the American people are strong and proud, and they will not allow our country and all of its values, history, and culture to be taken from them.
02:45:07.000One of their political weapons is cancel culture, driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees.
02:45:21.000This is the very definition of totalitarianism.
02:45:26.000And it is completely alien to our culture and to our values, and it has absolutely no place in the United States of America.
02:45:46.000This attack on our liberty, our magnificent liberty, must be stopped, and it will be stopped very quickly.
02:45:58.000We will expose this dangerous movement, protect our nation's children, end this radical assault, and preserve our beloved American way of life.
02:46:11.000In our schools, our newsrooms, even our corporate boardrooms, there is a new far left fascism that demands absolute allegiance.
02:46:24.000If you do not speak its language, perform its rituals, recite its mantras, and follow its commandments, then you will be censored, banished, blacklisted, persecuted, and punished.
02:46:44.000This is pretty, honestly, kind of base, though.
02:46:47.000Make no mistake, this left wing cultural revolution is designed to overthrow the American Revolution.
02:46:59.000In so doing, they would destroy the very civilization that rescued billions from poverty, disease, violence, and hunger, and that lifted humanity to new heights of achievement, discovery, and progress.
02:47:14.000To make this possible, they are determined to tear down every statue, symbol, and memory of our national heritage.
02:48:13.000I am pleased to report that yesterday, federal agents arrested the suspected ringleader of the attack on the statue of the great Andrew Jackson in Washington, D.C. Nice.
02:48:30.000And in addition, hundreds more have been arrested.
02:48:37.000Under the executive order I signed last week pertaining to the Veterans Memorial Preservation and Recognition Act and other laws, People who damage or deface federal statues or monuments will get a minimum of 10 years in prison.
02:49:03.000And obviously, that includes our beautiful Mount Rushmore.
02:49:18.000They will never forget the destruction of statues and monuments to George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, abolitionists, and many others.
02:49:34.000The violent mayhem we have seen in the streets and cities that are run by liberal Democrats in every case is the predictable result of years of extreme indoctrination and bias in education, journalism, and other cultural institutions.
02:49:56.000Against every law of society and nature, our children are taught in school to hate their own country and to believe that the men and women who built it.
02:50:09.000We're not heroes, but that we're villains.
02:50:13.000The radical view of American history is a web of lies.
02:51:13.000Before these figures, Were immortalized in stone.
02:51:18.000They were American giants in full flesh and blood, gallant men whose intrepid deeds unleashed the greatest leap of human advancement the world has ever known.
02:51:35.000Tonight I will tell you, and most importantly, the youth of our nation, the true stories of these great, great men.
02:51:44.000From head to toe, George Washington represented the strength.
02:51:48.000Grace and dignity of the American people.
02:51:51.000From a small volunteer force of citizen farmers, he created the Continental Army out of nothing and rallied them to stand against the most powerful military on earth.
02:52:07.000Through eight long years, through the brutal winter at Valley Forge, through setback after setback on the field of battle, he led those patriots.
02:52:24.000When the army had dwindled to a few thousand men at Christmas of 1776, when defeat seemed absolutely certain, he took what remained of his forces on a daring nighttime crossing of the Delaware River.
02:52:45.000They marched through nine miles of frigid darkness, many without boots on their feet, leaving a trail of blood in the snow.
02:52:56.000In the morning, they seized victory at Trenton.
02:53:00.000After forcing the surrender of the most powerful empire on the planet at Yorktown, General Washington did not claim power but simply returned to Mount Vernon as a private citizen.
02:53:18.000When called upon again, he presided over the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and was unanimously elected.
02:53:38.000When he stepped down after two terms, his former adversary, King George, called him the greatest man of the age.
02:53:50.000He remains first in our hearts to this day.
02:53:55.000For as long as Americans love this land, we will honor and cherish the father of our country, George Washington.
02:54:11.000He will never be removed, abolished, and most of all, he will never be forgotten.
02:54:26.000Thomas Jefferson, a great Thomas Jefferson, was 33 years old when he traveled north to Pennsylvania and brilliantly authored one of the greatest treasures of human history, the Declaration of Independence.
02:54:45.000He also drafted Virginia's Constitution and conceived and wrote the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom.
02:54:56.000A model for our cherished First Amendment.
02:55:00.000After serving as the first Secretary of State and then Vice President, he was elected to the presidency.
02:55:10.000He ordered American warriors to crush Barbary pirates.
02:55:17.000He doubled the size of our nation with the Louisiana Purchase.
02:55:23.000And he sent the famous explorers Lewis and Clark into the West on a daring expedition.
02:55:32.000He was an architect, an inventor, a diplomat, a scholar, the founder of one of the world's great universities, and an ardent defender of liberty.
02:55:45.000Americans will forever admire the author of American freedom, Thomas Jefferson.
02:56:02.000And he too will never, ever be abandoned by us.
02:56:12.000Abraham Lincoln, the savior of our union, was a self taught country lawyer who grew up in a log cabin on the American frontier.
02:56:27.000The first Republican president, he rose to.
02:56:33.000High office from obscurity, based on a force and clarity of his anti slavery convictions, very, very strong convictions.
02:56:47.000He signed the law that built the Transcontinental Railroad.
02:56:51.000He signed the Homestead Act, given to some incredible scholars as simply defined ordinary citizens free land to settle anywhere in the American West.
02:57:08.000And he led the country through the darkest hours of American history, giving every ounce of strength that he had to ensure that government of the people, by the people, and for the people did not perish from this earth.
02:57:30.000He served as Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces during our bloodiest war, the struggle that saved our Union and extinguished the evil of slavery.
02:58:17.000He issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
02:58:22.000He led the passage of the 13th Amendment, abolishing slavery for all time.
02:58:39.000And ultimately, his determination to preserve our nation and our union cost him his life.
02:58:49.000For as long as we live, Americans will uphold and revere the immortal memory of President Abraham Lincoln.
02:59:08.000Theodore Roosevelt exemplified the Unbridled confidence of our national culture and identity.
02:59:18.000He saw the tower and grandeur of America's mission in the world, and he pursued it with overwhelming energy and zeal.
02:59:29.000As a lieutenant colonel during the Spanish American War, he led the famous Rough Riders to defeat the enemy at San Juan Hill.
02:59:39.000He cleaned up corruption as police commissioner.
02:59:43.000Of New York City, then served as the governor of New York, vice president, and at 42 years old became the youngest ever president of the United States.
03:00:05.000He sent our great new naval fleet around the globe to announce America's arrival as a world power.
03:00:14.000He gave us many of our national parks, including the Grand Canyon.
03:00:20.000He oversaw the construction of the awe inspiring Panama Canal.
03:00:26.000And he is the only person ever awarded both the Nobel Peace Prize and the Congressional Medal of Honor.
03:00:37.000He was American freedom personified in full.
03:00:44.000The American people will never relinquish the bold, beautiful, and untamed spirit of Theodore Roosevelt.
03:01:01.000No movement that seeks to dismantle these treasured American legacies can possibly have a love of America at its heart.
03:01:13.000No person who remains quiet at the destruction of this resplendent heritage can possibly lead us to a better future.
03:01:25.000The radical ideology attacking our country advances under the banner of social justice.
03:01:34.000But in truth, it would demolish both justice and society.
03:01:39.000It would transform justice into an instrument of division and vengeance, and it would turn our free and inclusive society into a place of repression, domination, and exclusion.
03:01:55.000They want to silence us, but we will not be silenced.
03:05:59.000This is what we believe, and these are the values that will guide us as we strive to build an even better and greater future.
03:06:10.000Those who seek to erase our heritage want Americans to forget our pride and our great dignity so that we can no longer understand ourselves or America's destiny.
03:06:22.000In toppling the heroes of 1776, they seek to dissolve the bonds of love and loyalty that we feel for our country.
03:06:47.000In its place, they want power for themselves.
03:06:51.000But just as patriots did in centuries past, the American people will stand in their way, and we will win, and win quickly and with great dignity.
03:07:08.000We will never let them rip America's heroes from our monuments or from our hearts.
03:07:16.000By tearing down Washington and Jefferson, these radicals would tear down the very heritage for which men gave their lives to win the Civil War.
03:07:28.000They would erase the memory that inspired those soldiers to go to their deaths, singing these.
03:07:36.000Words of the battle hymn of the Republic.
03:07:42.000As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free while God is marching on.
03:08:05.000I would tear down the principles that propelled the abolition of slavery and ultimately around the world ending an evil institution that had plagued humanity for thousands and thousands of years.
03:08:22.000Our opponents would tear apart the very documents that Martin Luther King used to express his dream and the ideas that were the foundation of the righteous movement for civil rights.
03:08:37.000They would tear down the beliefs, culture, and identity that have made America the most vibrant and tolerant country in the history of the earth.
03:08:49.000My fellow Americans, it is time to speak up loudly and strongly and powerfully and defend the integrity of our country.
03:09:25.000It is time for our politicians to summon the bravery and determination of our American ancestors.
03:09:44.000The greatest of this nation, for citizens of every race, every city, and every part of this glorious land.
03:09:54.000For the sake of Of our honor, for the sake of our children, for the sake of our union, we must protect and preserve our history, our heritage, and our great heroes.
03:10:11.000Here tonight, before the eyes of our forefathers, Americans declare again, as we did 244 years ago, that we will not be tyrannized.
03:10:26.000Be demeaned, and we will not be intimidated by bad, evil people.
03:10:54.000We will proclaim the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, and we will never surrender the spirit and the courage and the cause of July 4th, 1776.
03:11:09.000Upon this ground, we will stand firm and unwavering.
03:11:14.000In the face of lies meant to divide us, demoralize us, and diminish us, we will show that the story of America unites us, inspires us.
03:11:27.000Includes us all and makes everyone free.
03:11:33.000We must demand that our children are taught once again to see America as did Reverend Martin Luther King when he said that the founders had signed a promissory note to every future generation.
03:11:50.000Dr. King saw that the mission of justice required us to fully embrace our founding ideals, those ideals.
03:12:01.000Are so important to us, founding ideals.
03:12:05.000He called on his fellow citizens not to rip down their heritage, but to live up to their heritage.
03:12:18.000Above all, our children from every community must be taught that to be American is to inherit the spirit of the most adventurous and confident people.
03:12:35.000Americans are the people who pursued our manifest destiny across the ocean, into the uncharted wilderness, over the tallest mountains, and then into the skies and even into the stars.
03:12:55.000We are the country of Andrew Jackson, Ulysses S. Grant, and Frederick Douglass.
03:13:03.000We are the land of Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody.
03:13:10.000We are the nation that gave rise to the Wright brothers, the Tuskegee Airmen, Harriet Tubman, Clara Barton, Jesse Owens, George Patton, General George Patton, the great Louis Armstrong, Alan Shepard, Elvis Presley.
03:13:48.000We are the culture that put up the Hoover Dam, laid down the highways, and sculpted the skyline of Manhattan.
03:13:59.000We are the people who dreamed a spectacular dream.
03:14:06.000Who was called Las Vegas in the Nevada desert, who built up Miami from the Florida marsh, and who carved our heroes into the face of Mount Rushmore?
03:14:27.000Americans harnessed electricity, split the atom, and gave the world the telephone and the internet.
03:14:37.000We settled the Wild West, won two world wars, landed American astronauts on the moon, and one day very soon we will plant our flag on Mars.
03:14:59.000We gave the world the poetry of Walt Whitman, the stories of Mark Twain, the songs of Irving Berlin, the voice of Ella Fitzgerald, the style of Frank Sinatra, the comedy of Bob Book, the power of the Saturn V rocket,
03:15:53.000Nobody has ever done it like we have done it.
03:15:57.000So, today, under the authority vested in me, as President of the United States, I am announcing the creation of a new monument to the giants of our past.
03:16:17.000I am signing an executive order to establish the National Guard of American Heroes, a vast outdoor park that will feature the statues of the greatest Americans to ever live.
03:17:07.000We will write the next thrilling chapter of the American adventure.
03:17:13.000And we will teach our children to know that they live in a land of legends, that nothing can stop them, and that no one can hold them down.
03:17:29.000They will know that in America, you can do anything, you can be anything, and together, We can achieve anything.
03:17:45.000Uplifted by the titans of Mount Rushmore, we will find unity that no one expected.
03:17:54.000We will make strides that no one thought possible.
03:17:59.000This country will be everything that our citizens have hoped for for so many years, and that our enemies fear.
03:18:09.000Because we will never forget that the American freedom exists for American greatness.
03:18:16.000And that's what we have American greatness.
03:18:24.000Centuries from now, our legacy will be the cities we built, the champions we forged, the good that we did, and the monuments we created to inspire us all.
03:18:43.000My fellow citizens, America's destiny is in our sights.
03:18:51.000America's heroes are embedded in our hearts.
03:22:29.000The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the Republican model of government are justly considered as deeply right side broadcasts showing the fireworks.
03:23:08.000Yeah, this is gonna be The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the Republican model of government are justly considered as deeply,
03:23:34.000perhaps as finally stalked, on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people.
03:24:00.000I'll just have this on in the background and then I'll finish these super chats here.
03:24:06.000Well, that was everything we needed it to be.
03:24:09.000I was saying earlier, a huge change in tone, obviously, from what we've been hearing from the campaign, which is about socialism and about, I don't even know what, about Israel and black unemployment.
03:24:28.000Of our culture, an explicit and assertive defense of our country, our culture, the monuments.
03:24:35.000And this was like the definitive statement on the events of the past six weeks, which is what we needed.
03:24:42.000Trump was missing an action on all of this for a long time.
03:24:46.000And so, to finally have an answer for all of that and an assertive and a forceful answer in defense of the country, that's exactly what he needed to do.
03:24:55.000He needed to come out and say, I'm going to protect America.
03:24:59.000I'm the president, I'm here, and I'll protect America.
03:25:03.000So, obviously, I mean, there's some stuff in there the Judeo Christian, the MLK, the Harry Tubbin stuff.
03:25:08.000I mean, at this point, that's just par for the course.
03:27:13.000Raul says, My country is the only one in the whole state that is, or my county is the only one in the whole state that is doing a parade and fireworks tomorrow because it's still majority white and conservative.
03:27:24.000I have to enjoy these last few moments before the demographics and establishment change.
03:27:31.000Cold Cheese says, I never understood the argument on how Asians were secretly conservative.
03:27:37.000I used to have the same hatred towards the monuments and everything made by whites a few years ago, and it's all too prevalent with Generation Z Asians.
03:27:46.000Well, the reason people think Asians are conservative is because immigrants, first generation immigrants, are socially conservative, and the idea is if you're coming from China, you're not going to be in favor of LGBT and feminism and things like that.
03:28:06.000You're going to have a more traditional orientation.
03:28:26.000But Asians, as the highest IQ demographic and the only demographic coming from a civilization, I think that they maybe they're not conservatives, but they're more persuadable.
03:28:38.000Yamato says, should we end the Indian reservation system?
03:29:18.000Because what Vausch and Destiny were arguing was that, in spite of the fact that blacks make up a disproportionate amount of the crime, they're still disproportionately over policed.
03:29:29.000So you're an idiot if you think that one proves the other.
03:29:32.000Now, obviously, I disagree with that conclusion.
03:29:36.000I think that blacks are, you know, they commit crime and they get penalized for it.
03:29:41.000But to say that because Destiny and Vausch conceded that they commit more crime, that they.
03:29:46.000That they conceded that they're not over policed.
03:29:51.000And Eric Stryker and James Alsup did not prove that.
03:29:55.000So, Destiny and James, or I'm sorry, James and Eric Stryker, I think, did a terrible job.
03:30:02.000And, you know, Destiny and Vauch didn't even concede that.
03:30:05.000These are facts that everybody acknowledges.
03:30:07.000And even the mainstream media acknowledges that blacks commit more crime.
03:30:12.000But they just say that, in spite of that, blacks are still treated.
03:30:18.000So that's a nice cope, but you're wrong.
03:30:22.000And anybody watching that debate, nobody watches a debate and says, okay, well, these are the conclusions on either side, and if we carry those through to the logical conclusion from the right wing, that's not how debates work.
03:30:48.000I know that's an Indian, but where is that?
03:30:51.000Cringe Millennial says, one of the funniest things about the fall of the American Indians is that early on they could have stopped our spread across their land if they weren't too busy literally cannibalizing each other.
03:31:02.000I don't think so, because they all die from disease.
03:31:04.000So I don't think they have the numerical strength.
03:37:49.000Everybody wants to be like me, but then you get millions of impressions, people calling you a racist, and you get attacked, and people are going to expel you, and that's the real question.

03:39:22.000Don't waste your time with people like that.
03:39:24.000I mean, it's good to be friendly to everybody and, you know, don't be an asshole.
03:39:27.000But the people you really want to network with are the people that are the task leaders.

03:43:15.000We don't have those laws, and people regularly break them.
03:43:19.000We have those laws, and even though it's illegal to be publicly intoxicated, we still have people that are carrying on drunk in public and misbehaving.
03:43:29.000So I think that getting rid of those laws, how would that make things better?
03:43:34.000I've heard a lot of these counterintuitive arguments, but we have a problem with substance.
03:43:40.000Making it more licit will not solve those problems.
