Transcript

00:00:00.000 Looking whence us lost the frown, on the feast of steven,
00:00:05.120 When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and neathen,
00:00:10.200 Brightly showed the moon that night, how the cross was cruel,
00:00:15.420 When a fool had failed in sight, every winter knew.
00:00:23.320 Hither page and strand I hear, and the clouds keep telling,
00:00:28.560 Younger peasant, who is he, where and what is where he is.
00:00:34.160 Sirely huffa, put the pencil beneath the mountain,
00:00:39.220 Bright against the forest fence, boys, they cast his hand his fountain.
00:00:46.600 Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither,
00:00:51.600 Thou and I will see him thine, when we bear him thither.
00:00:56.720 Hedge and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together,
00:01:02.320 Threw the moon rings while the man, and the feet away.
00:01:10.240 Sire, the night is dark, oh, bright, it blows stronger,
00:01:15.760 Hails my heart, I've been my home.
00:01:17.540 Okay, welcome.
00:01:18.740 It is Monday, 26 December, in the year of our Lord, 2022.
00:01:23.140 It is Boxing Day, for those of you that have been with us for many years,
00:01:28.640 over at Breitbart Radio, and now with the War Room for the last, what, three years.
00:01:33.920 We've always done a Boxing Day special, always Raheem, and Raheem is traveling,
00:01:41.820 so we couldn't get Raheem to do it this year.
00:01:43.620 He always did, because it's an English tradition, so we'd let Raheem.
00:01:47.020 I would do the Christmas Eve, the Christmas Day specials,
00:01:50.480 and Raheem would do the day after.
00:01:54.020 Of course, it was a little convoluted this year, because Christmas was on Sunday,
00:01:58.460 so we did the Christmas Day specials, you guys, I'm sure,
00:02:02.240 the hardcore audience saw on Saturday, replayed yesterday.
00:02:06.980 We always do the combat history of Christmas to let people know about the sacrifice.
00:02:11.060 We added Larry Swikert this year, the author, co-author of the Patriots' History of the U.S.,
00:02:17.960 to talk about other tough Christmases, about the resilience of the American people,
00:02:23.380 because this is a tough Christmas, not like the ones we had in 1814,
00:02:29.000 not like the ones in 1941 or during the Civil War,
00:02:32.880 or certainly probably the toughest Christmas we ever had was in 1776,
00:02:38.100 the founding of the nation.
00:02:39.240 We had Patrick K. O'Donnell, the great combat historian, on to talk,
00:02:43.840 as we always do as a tradition, about the Battle of Trenton.
00:02:46.940 I'm very honored to have Dr. Carol Swain join us today.
00:02:51.260 Dr. Swain, one of the things that I've always been most impressed with you
00:02:56.980 and I know you're one of the favorites of President Trump
00:03:01.080 is your deep knowledge of and love of American history.
00:03:08.840 How did you get that love?
00:03:10.400 How did you, what was it that made American history and our traditions
00:03:15.300 and understanding this republic?
00:03:17.240 What was it about your youth or when you were coming up
00:03:22.420 that really you saw your calling in life,
00:03:24.640 or part of the calling was really not just understanding American history,
00:03:28.060 but also explaining it to people?
00:03:30.840 Well, first of all, when I was born, you know, 1954,
00:03:34.740 I grew up at a time when America wasn't under attack by its own citizens.
00:03:40.100 And so it was very natural in the school.
00:03:44.660 We were, you know, today they would say indoctrinated,
00:03:48.640 but we were taught to believe and appreciate our nation.
00:03:52.740 I always believed that I lived in the greatest country in the world,
00:03:56.340 that it was a blessing to be in America,
00:03:59.120 that I could grow up to be whatever I wanted to be.
00:04:02.040 And I was not raised to see myself as a victim.
00:04:07.220 In fact, my mother, for the longest period of time,
00:04:09.780 she would not take any charity.
00:04:11.920 She would not take, you know, free books, free lunches,
00:04:14.660 things that would have made her children's lives easier
00:04:18.180 because she had 12.
00:04:19.960 But we had that Protestant work ethic.
00:04:23.580 I believed in the American dream,
00:04:26.480 and it became a reality for me.
00:04:28.740 Talk about that.
00:04:31.780 Talk about being in a family.
00:04:33.100 You're from the South.
00:04:33.920 Talk about being in a family of 12 children.
00:04:37.360 I can tell you that my Christmas memories
00:04:40.720 was that we would always get a bag, not even a stocking,
00:04:45.760 that would have oranges in it, nuts and candy.
00:04:48.700 And that was a real treat.
00:04:50.820 And I felt deprived as a child.
00:04:53.920 And also, for many years,
00:04:56.940 because I never got the two things
00:04:58.580 I wanted most for Christmas,
00:05:00.700 one was an Easy Bake Oven,
00:05:02.880 and the other one was a paint-by-number set.
00:05:07.100 Last year, one of my friends got tired of me talking about it,
00:05:10.880 so she gave me a paint-by-number set.
00:05:16.560 Where are you from in the South?
00:05:19.120 Tell us about your family, your brothers and sisters.
00:05:21.660 Well, I'm from southwestern Virginia,
00:05:24.640 a little hamlet called Chamleysburg,
00:05:26.960 and it was not even a town.
00:05:28.560 It was just like a strip of the highway,
00:05:31.020 probably not more than a couple of miles.
00:05:33.780 And so if you blinked, you just went straight past it.
00:05:38.840 And the children that were first born,
00:05:45.240 maybe the first six or seven,
00:05:48.020 lived in a two-room shack.
00:05:49.560 And then there was expanded to be a four-room shack.
00:05:53.140 But we ended up with five girls and seven boys,
00:05:58.260 and I'm one of the girls.
00:05:59.980 I'm second from the oldest.
00:06:02.100 And there was no talk of college.
00:06:05.480 In fact, I thought you had to be rich to go to college,
00:06:07.940 and it was only later that I learned
00:06:10.500 that poor people could go to college,
00:06:13.320 that at that time going to college
00:06:15.940 had more to do with your ability
00:06:17.700 than, you know, your financial means
00:06:21.420 because there were scholarships.
00:06:22.700 There were things that I did not know about.
00:06:24.840 And one reason I didn't know about these things
00:06:26.780 was that I dropped out of school
00:06:29.500 after the eighth grade,
00:06:31.440 married,
00:06:32.700 had three children by the time I was 21.
00:06:35.760 And so when I returned to school,
00:06:39.060 I first got a high school equivalency,
00:06:41.500 and I did that at home.
00:06:43.280 And then I went to a community college,
00:06:45.420 got the first of five college and university degrees.
00:06:48.500 I never sought to become a university professor.
00:06:51.600 I never sought to get five degrees.
00:06:54.060 There were people who came into my life
00:06:56.080 who encouraged me,
00:06:57.880 who steered me,
00:06:58.820 and sometimes I felt that they pushed me
00:07:02.000 in the direction that made me who I am today.
00:07:08.420 And most of them are white.
00:07:11.880 What?
00:07:12.920 In fact, almost all of them.
00:07:15.560 Let's talk about it.
00:07:16.440 How does somebody,
00:07:17.800 you know, drop out of school
00:07:20.380 and not,
00:07:21.260 and I take it,
00:07:22.100 it's not just you didn't get a degree,
00:07:23.880 you actually didn't attend high school,
00:07:26.360 have a couple of children,
00:07:27.660 and then later decide,
00:07:30.320 I want to get my high school equivalent
00:07:31.800 and my degree.
00:07:32.760 Did you,
00:07:33.960 did your mother instill a love of learning?
00:07:36.380 Was it about reading?
00:07:38.060 What was it that drove that?
00:07:40.000 There were two things.
00:07:41.060 For one thing,
00:07:43.120 even though my siblings and I,
00:07:44.880 my older sister in particular,
00:07:46.300 we missed a lot of school.
00:07:47.700 We could be out of school,
00:07:49.020 you know,
00:07:49.380 for a week or two,
00:07:51.100 go to school
00:07:52.300 and make an A or B on a test.
00:07:54.960 And so we knew we were smart.
00:07:56.140 My mother,
00:07:58.120 you know,
00:07:58.660 she acted as if
00:07:59.880 it was natural
00:08:01.000 for children to make good grades
00:08:03.140 until she had more children.
00:08:05.940 And as she had more children,
00:08:07.340 I think she came to appreciate
00:08:09.240 that it was unusual,
00:08:11.220 that there was something different about us.
00:08:14.160 And she would say today
00:08:16.040 that of all of her children,
00:08:17.900 she knew that I was going to be the one
00:08:19.580 that she would say
00:08:20.700 would make something out of herself.
00:08:22.320 And so with my mother,
00:08:24.720 I think she just had
00:08:25.780 a natural expectation
00:08:27.240 early on
00:08:28.680 that you would do well in school.
00:08:31.180 And for us,
00:08:32.320 we did not have books
00:08:33.540 because she had to pay
00:08:34.600 the rental fee.
00:08:35.960 I would do my studying
00:08:37.440 at school
00:08:38.420 while I was waiting on the bus
00:08:40.460 to take us home.
00:08:41.480 And we were bused.
00:08:43.360 I think it took us
00:08:44.520 about 45 minutes
00:08:45.660 probably to get
00:08:46.680 from the school home.
00:08:48.180 Well, did your parents instill
00:08:53.200 your religious training?
00:08:56.520 Was religion a big part
00:08:57.960 of your life
00:08:58.440 coming up as children?
00:09:01.020 No.
00:09:01.540 And Steve,
00:09:02.220 I'm working on my memoir.
00:09:03.940 And so I'll tell
00:09:04.520 the whole dirty story
00:09:06.020 maybe next year sometime.
00:09:08.820 But I had a stepfather
00:09:10.680 and my mother,
00:09:12.200 they were pretty much alcoholics.
00:09:14.280 And so there was a lot
00:09:15.180 of dysfunction in my family.
00:09:16.620 But my great-grandfather
00:09:18.780 had been a Methodist pastor.
00:09:20.800 So my grandmother
00:09:21.840 was religious.
00:09:23.620 But for my immediate family,
00:09:25.520 we were Methodists,
00:09:26.720 but we were unchurched.
00:09:27.760 We were not churchgoers.
00:09:29.760 I went a few times
00:09:31.020 as a child.
00:09:32.080 But I was naturally spiritual
00:09:34.260 in a sense that
00:09:35.540 I knew that there was
00:09:36.900 something larger than me
00:09:38.000 guiding my life.
00:09:39.180 And I always had
00:09:40.280 this sense of urgency.
00:09:42.020 I always felt like
00:09:43.140 that there was something
00:09:43.820 I was supposed to do.
00:09:44.920 and I never felt
00:09:46.460 comfortable in the poverty.
00:09:48.580 I never felt like a victim,
00:09:50.500 and I never felt comfortable
00:09:52.060 in the poverty
00:09:53.200 that was around me.
00:09:54.760 I grew up feeling
00:09:56.040 more like a participant observer.
00:09:58.780 And I felt like
00:09:59.600 the people around me
00:10:00.620 were not like me.
00:10:02.380 And I don't,
00:10:03.220 you know,
00:10:03.520 people can interpret that
00:10:04.860 any way they want
00:10:05.480 to interpret it.
00:10:06.560 That was how I felt
00:10:07.480 as a child,
00:10:08.460 that I was watching
00:10:09.440 these people
00:10:10.120 and they were strange.
00:10:11.220 When you said
00:10:14.280 there was a higher purpose
00:10:15.680 or you felt
00:10:16.260 that there was
00:10:16.680 a higher purpose,
00:10:17.580 is that a,
00:10:19.120 is it the Holy Spirit?
00:10:20.440 I mean,
00:10:20.700 what is it that you think
00:10:22.860 was flowing through you
00:10:24.220 at that time
00:10:24.940 and obviously
00:10:25.620 had a big part
00:10:29.140 of motivating you
00:10:30.500 to get out
00:10:31.500 of these circumstances
00:10:32.320 and as your mother
00:10:33.480 would say,
00:10:33.840 make something of yourself.
00:10:35.460 Well,
00:10:35.980 I had my Christian
00:10:36.960 conversion experience
00:10:38.100 in my 40s
00:10:39.680 after I had been
00:10:40.760 tenured at Princeton.
00:10:42.840 And before then,
00:10:43.680 I was spiritual.
00:10:44.840 And I can say that
00:10:45.840 I used to believe
00:10:47.300 one God,
00:10:48.240 many paths
00:10:48.940 because I knew
00:10:50.260 that I was different
00:10:51.800 and I had
00:10:53.060 also a sense
00:10:54.200 of urgency.
00:10:55.880 And so I don't
00:10:56.580 know,
00:10:58.200 I was drawn
00:10:59.140 to all sorts of,
00:11:00.180 all sorts of
00:11:01.240 spiritual things
00:11:02.100 like Edgar Cayce's
00:11:03.680 out-of-body experiences.
00:11:05.420 I read all kinds
00:11:06.560 of books,
00:11:08.160 New Age,
00:11:08.940 Eastern religions.
00:11:11.020 And all of that
00:11:13.280 culminated
00:11:14.100 after I had
00:11:15.060 tenure
00:11:15.420 at Princeton
00:11:16.860 with the journey
00:11:18.440 that led
00:11:19.660 to my conversion
00:11:20.500 experience
00:11:21.160 and I became
00:11:22.000 a devout believer
00:11:23.760 in 1999-2000.
00:11:28.160 Wow.
00:11:29.540 And talk to us
00:11:30.580 about Princeton.
00:11:31.320 How does one
00:11:32.060 go from
00:11:32.780 12 children
00:11:33.660 in a two-
00:11:34.440 or three-room shack
00:11:35.380 and no real
00:11:36.880 formal education
00:11:37.780 or life formal
00:11:38.500 education
00:11:38.900 when you're young
00:11:39.580 to being a tenured
00:11:40.760 professor
00:11:41.600 at probably
00:11:42.600 the hardest
00:11:43.980 undergraduate
00:11:44.800 college
00:11:45.800 to get into
00:11:47.100 the nation?
00:11:47.760 Probably harder
00:11:48.340 even than Stanford
00:11:49.180 and Harvard.
00:11:50.660 How does that happen?
00:11:52.820 Well,
00:11:53.360 again,
00:11:54.300 it's not something
00:11:55.780 I planned.
00:11:57.160 I can't remember
00:11:58.060 ever aspiring
00:11:58.940 to be a teacher
00:11:59.740 or becoming
00:12:00.840 a professor.
00:12:01.440 I was good
00:12:02.980 in academics.
00:12:05.280 I graduated
00:12:06.000 from my
00:12:06.900 four-year college
00:12:07.900 magna cum laude
00:12:08.980 while I was
00:12:09.480 working a full-time
00:12:10.480 job 40 hours a week
00:12:11.820 nights and weekends
00:12:12.780 at the community
00:12:13.880 college library
00:12:14.960 and my
00:12:16.480 community college
00:12:18.920 degree was
00:12:19.440 in business.
00:12:20.940 The four-year
00:12:21.560 degree was
00:12:22.120 in criminal justice.
00:12:23.540 I decided
00:12:24.240 to get a degree
00:12:25.460 in political science
00:12:26.640 so that I could
00:12:27.300 work for the government
00:12:28.140 like most other
00:12:29.660 blacks.
00:12:30.160 I wanted a
00:12:30.640 government job.
00:12:31.440 it seemed
00:12:31.960 like it would
00:12:33.640 have the benefits
00:12:35.040 and so I was not
00:12:36.220 aspiring for more
00:12:37.240 and this was
00:12:38.720 the 1980s
00:12:40.080 when I was
00:12:41.340 getting that degree.
00:12:42.680 There was a
00:12:43.500 recession that
00:12:44.260 occurred.
00:12:44.940 I applied for
00:12:45.760 jobs.
00:12:46.240 I couldn't get
00:12:46.720 jobs and
00:12:47.980 the professors
00:12:48.860 I had at that
00:12:49.700 time pushed
00:12:51.080 me to apply
00:12:52.120 for graduate
00:12:52.760 school.
00:12:53.600 I applied.
00:12:54.780 I was admitted
00:12:55.400 to the University
00:12:56.240 of North Carolina
00:12:56.980 at Chapel Hill
00:12:57.880 and I did
00:12:59.240 very well there.
00:13:00.300 I did well
00:13:01.320 enough that
00:13:02.140 by the time
00:13:03.500 I was getting
00:13:04.020 my PhD
00:13:04.660 which I did
00:13:05.300 very quickly
00:13:05.900 I did my
00:13:06.380 master's degree
00:13:07.060 in one year
00:13:07.800 and I did
00:13:08.660 the PhD
00:13:09.520 program in
00:13:10.220 four years
00:13:10.960 I had a
00:13:12.160 Harvard Press
00:13:13.060 contract
00:13:14.620 on my first
00:13:15.380 book
00:13:15.780 and I ended
00:13:16.960 up with a
00:13:17.480 short list
00:13:18.040 of schools.
00:13:19.440 Princeton
00:13:19.820 recruited me
00:13:20.680 the way I
00:13:21.140 wanted to be
00:13:21.700 recruited.
00:13:22.300 At that time
00:13:22.920 they had
00:13:23.300 minority
00:13:23.840 positions
00:13:24.480 and Steve
00:13:25.400 I'm sure
00:13:25.760 you remember
00:13:26.420 they would
00:13:27.180 advertise jobs
00:13:28.160 three minorities
00:13:29.400 would compete
00:13:30.080 against one
00:13:30.660 another
00:13:31.020 they would
00:13:31.880 hire the
00:13:32.500 best of
00:13:33.060 the three
00:13:33.560 there was
00:13:35.000 no doubt
00:13:35.460 I would be
00:13:35.920 the best
00:13:36.340 of the three
00:13:37.000 but I
00:13:38.200 refused to
00:13:38.860 apply for
00:13:39.280 those positions
00:13:39.980 I would
00:13:40.500 only apply
00:13:41.180 for American
00:13:41.980 politics
00:13:42.500 positions
00:13:43.200 I was
00:13:43.780 interested
00:13:44.240 in Congress
00:13:45.220 and Princeton
00:13:46.620 hired me
00:13:47.280 as a
00:13:47.600 congressional
00:13:47.980 scholar
00:13:48.480 and they
00:13:49.380 gave me
00:13:49.720 a signing
00:13:50.180 bonus
00:13:50.760 $25,000
00:13:52.300 which was
00:13:52.820 a lot of
00:13:53.280 money back
00:13:53.760 in 1989
00:13:54.520 that's an
00:13:57.480 extraordinary
00:13:57.920 story
00:13:58.560 I tell you

00:15:50.280 Dr. Carol
00:15:51.040 Swain
00:15:51.280 joins us
00:15:51.860 Dr. Swain
00:15:52.900 when you
00:15:53.200 were doing
00:15:54.700 all your
00:15:55.480 studies and
00:15:56.560 getting your
00:15:56.900 PhD and
00:15:57.580 you wanted
00:15:57.840 to focus
00:15:58.260 on Congress
00:15:59.400 why was it
00:16:00.480 Congress
00:16:00.880 and did
00:16:02.300 you ever
00:16:02.740 believe
00:16:03.380 given what
00:16:04.380 you were
00:16:04.600 studying up
00:16:05.120 to that
00:16:05.360 time that
00:16:05.880 could be
00:16:06.220 as
00:16:06.380 dysfunctional
00:16:07.260 as it
00:16:08.220 is today
00:16:08.760 no
00:16:10.540 during the
00:16:10.960 time I
00:16:11.380 was studying
00:16:11.820 Congress
00:16:12.540 Tip O'Neill
00:16:13.540 was Speaker
00:16:14.100 of the
00:16:14.380 House
00:16:14.680 I was a
00:16:15.220 Democrat
00:16:15.640 and Democrats
00:16:17.380 and Republicans
00:16:18.100 seemed to work
00:16:19.000 well together
00:16:19.980 and so I
00:16:21.340 did not
00:16:21.840 know that
00:16:23.140 Congress would
00:16:23.980 be the
00:16:24.720 institution it
00:16:25.560 is today
00:16:26.140 but before we
00:16:27.680 go any further
00:16:28.260 you asked me
00:16:28.880 how I ended
00:16:29.460 up at
00:16:29.860 Princeton
00:16:30.280 there is no
00:16:32.800 way to
00:16:33.320 explain it
00:16:33.980 except the
00:16:34.540 hand of
00:16:34.900 God
00:16:35.280 that someone
00:16:36.640 from the
00:16:37.200 kind of
00:16:37.640 poverty
00:16:38.140 that I
00:16:38.980 came from
00:16:39.640 would end
00:16:40.560 up at
00:16:40.980 Princeton
00:16:41.640 as a
00:16:42.040 first job
00:16:42.760 I earned
00:16:43.940 early tenure
00:16:44.760 I won
00:16:45.780 three national
00:16:46.480 prizes
00:16:46.960 including the
00:16:47.680 highest prize
00:16:48.380 a political
00:16:48.880 scientist can
00:16:49.740 win
00:16:50.140 which was
00:16:51.160 the Woodrow
00:16:51.580 Wilson prize
00:16:52.460 for best
00:16:52.900 book in the
00:16:53.400 United States
00:16:54.240 and I was
00:16:56.140 totally
00:16:56.440 disillusioned
00:16:57.980 and that
00:16:58.400 led to
00:16:59.140 more soul
00:17:00.500 searching
00:17:01.000 a journey
00:17:02.100 that culminated
00:17:03.100 with my
00:17:03.640 having a
00:17:04.260 Christian
00:17:04.660 conversion
00:17:05.220 experience
00:17:05.920 where I
00:17:06.260 became a
00:17:06.700 devout
00:17:07.460 believer
00:17:08.160 I believe
00:17:09.460 that God
00:17:10.880 opened up
00:17:11.460 the door
00:17:11.820 for me to
00:17:12.340 go to
00:17:12.600 Princeton
00:17:13.020 so that I
00:17:13.960 could be
00:17:14.280 credentialed
00:17:15.080 I'm able
00:17:15.960 to speak
00:17:17.260 into things
00:17:18.000 and situations
00:17:18.820 I understand
00:17:20.060 the word of
00:17:20.740 God
00:17:21.140 I understand
00:17:21.980 academia
00:17:22.600 I understand
00:17:23.640 the world
00:17:24.340 and my books
00:17:25.660 have been
00:17:26.020 considered
00:17:26.420 prescient
00:17:27.080 and I
00:17:28.040 believe that
00:17:28.560 God
00:17:28.920 raised me
00:17:30.220 up
00:17:30.560 for such
00:17:31.720 a time
00:17:32.080 as this
00:17:32.600 and maybe
00:17:33.560 that'll sound
00:17:34.100 arrogant to
00:17:34.800 some people
00:17:35.320 maybe it
00:17:35.960 sounds like
00:17:36.420 I'm not
00:17:36.720 humble enough
00:17:37.420 but that's
00:17:38.140 what I
00:17:38.440 believe
00:17:38.780 I give
00:17:39.840 God credit
00:17:40.620 for opening
00:17:41.720 up the
00:17:42.040 doors and
00:17:42.740 giving me
00:17:43.160 the platform
00:17:43.760 I have
00:17:44.240 today
00:17:44.680 most people
00:17:46.380 from my
00:17:46.860 background
00:17:47.480 could not
00:17:48.780 would not
00:17:50.200 have reached
00:17:50.780 the level
00:17:51.700 that I've
00:17:52.120 reached
00:17:52.440 and I've
00:17:53.160 had political
00:17:53.720 appointments
00:17:54.240 from three
00:17:54.880 presidents
00:17:55.560 Bush
00:17:57.720 Obama
00:17:58.980 the Obama
00:18:00.760 one was
00:18:01.180 kind of
00:18:01.540 it was
00:18:02.640 an accident
00:18:03.100 he sort
00:18:03.760 of
00:18:04.200 reappointed
00:18:05.000 me to
00:18:05.400 a position
00:18:05.860 that Bush
00:18:06.360 had appointed
00:18:06.980 me to
00:18:07.460 and then
00:18:08.180 President
00:18:08.540 Trump
00:18:09.060 and so
00:18:10.180 I don't
00:18:11.900 think that I
00:18:12.440 did that
00:18:12.820 on my
00:18:13.120 own
00:18:13.520 talk to
00:18:16.720 me about
00:18:17.080 when you
00:18:17.820 get to
00:18:18.160 Princeton
00:18:18.480 and you
00:18:19.180 know you've
00:18:19.460 gotten a
00:18:19.780 PhD from
00:18:20.420 University of
00:18:21.080 North Carolina
00:18:21.500 one of the
00:18:22.360 best universities
00:18:23.140 in the country
00:18:23.720 one of the
00:18:24.240 finest in
00:18:24.660 the south
00:18:25.140 and you
00:18:26.020 get to
00:18:26.300 Princeton
00:18:26.620 and you
00:18:27.320 get early
00:18:27.840 tenure
00:18:28.180 which is
00:18:28.780 people that
00:18:29.520 know the
00:18:29.980 politics of
00:18:31.460 faculty politics
00:18:33.180 that's
00:18:33.480 extraordinary
00:18:34.060 particularly a
00:18:34.640 place like
00:18:35.020 Princeton
00:18:35.380 when you
00:18:36.320 said you
00:18:36.560 got disillusioned
00:18:37.420 you're saying
00:18:37.860 hey I was
00:18:38.460 at the
00:18:38.720 place I
00:18:39.200 could see
00:18:39.580 it all
00:18:39.940 I could
00:18:40.200 see everything
00:18:40.700 the world
00:18:41.140 had to
00:18:42.380 offer
00:18:42.700 and I
00:18:44.340 was
00:18:44.480 disillusioned
00:18:45.140 by it
00:18:45.380 what was
00:18:45.940 the
00:18:46.120 disillusionment
00:18:46.860 and what
00:18:47.140 drove that
00:18:47.640 it had a
00:18:49.040 lot of
00:18:49.400 there were a
00:18:51.780 lot of
00:18:51.980 things about
00:18:52.420 academia that
00:18:53.220 bothered me
00:18:53.940 and one
00:18:55.000 is how
00:18:55.800 affirmative
00:18:56.140 action truly
00:18:57.200 operated
00:18:57.820 because I
00:18:59.760 was there
00:19:00.340 and I was
00:19:02.060 hired during
00:19:02.580 a time when
00:19:03.280 affirmative
00:19:03.720 action had
00:19:04.960 some teeth
00:19:05.740 the faculty
00:19:07.660 members who
00:19:08.300 supported me
00:19:08.980 were the
00:19:09.300 conservatives
00:19:09.780 and at that
00:19:10.720 time I was
00:19:11.220 a democrat
00:19:11.720 but they
00:19:13.500 liked what
00:19:14.400 they saw
00:19:14.860 about me
00:19:15.580 the professors
00:19:17.080 who opposed
00:19:17.940 me were the
00:19:19.060 liberals
00:19:19.460 in fact one
00:19:20.660 of them who's
00:19:21.380 at Harvard
00:19:22.120 very prominent
00:19:22.900 today tried
00:19:24.140 to block
00:19:24.680 my appointment
00:19:25.380 because she
00:19:26.000 said I was
00:19:26.440 not the
00:19:26.760 right kind
00:19:27.220 of black
00:19:27.780 so I
00:19:28.580 didn't expect
00:19:29.100 that and I
00:19:30.620 began to get
00:19:31.420 attacks from
00:19:32.560 black people
00:19:33.460 who said I
00:19:34.820 had sold out
00:19:35.760 to get to
00:19:36.500 Princeton and
00:19:37.920 that was because
00:19:38.740 I didn't go
00:19:39.400 through their
00:19:39.880 organizations they
00:19:40.960 had a black
00:19:42.080 political science
00:19:42.940 association they
00:19:44.440 had black
00:19:45.040 leaders that
00:19:45.640 would vet the
00:19:46.160 black folk and
00:19:47.300 all of a sudden
00:19:48.020 there was this
00:19:48.880 black woman
00:19:49.740 that no one
00:19:50.440 ever heard of
00:19:51.500 at Princeton
00:19:52.520 and so these
00:19:54.040 black people who
00:19:55.220 were gatekeepers
00:19:55.980 they were very
00:19:56.660 upset and so
00:19:57.840 there were a lot
00:19:58.360 of things that
00:19:59.440 happened that
00:20:00.920 made my life
00:20:01.740 uncomfortable and
00:20:03.260 during that time
00:20:04.120 I didn't have a
00:20:05.660 support network
00:20:06.480 and I felt very
00:20:08.920 much out there
00:20:09.820 on my own and
00:20:11.160 I can say I
00:20:11.680 didn't have a
00:20:12.160 support network
00:20:12.900 but I can also
00:20:14.480 say that I had
00:20:15.240 many friends and
00:20:16.640 I had the people
00:20:17.420 on the faculty
00:20:18.200 who recruited me
00:20:19.240 and they were
00:20:20.220 very supportive
00:20:21.220 but it was like
00:20:22.360 I was an accident
00:20:23.080 I was not
00:20:23.740 supposed to have
00:20:24.420 happened but I
00:20:25.540 did and when
00:20:26.520 they gave me
00:20:27.020 that tenure
00:20:27.600 they gave me
00:20:28.740 tenure because
00:20:29.340 they thought I
00:20:29.940 was safe
00:20:30.540 safe enough to
00:20:32.820 give the good
00:20:33.660 housekeeping seal
00:20:34.680 of approval
00:20:35.300 they did not
00:20:36.460 know that I
00:20:37.180 would end up
00:20:38.360 being disillusioned
00:20:40.220 having a
00:20:41.300 Christian conversion
00:20:42.360 and I did not
00:20:44.060 become a devout
00:20:44.820 believer while I
00:20:45.700 was at Princeton
00:20:46.520 that happened
00:20:47.800 during the time
00:20:48.840 I had already
00:20:49.600 decided to
00:20:50.540 separate myself
00:20:51.520 why would you
00:20:54.580 leave no one
00:20:55.300 leaves tenured
00:20:55.980 positions at an
00:20:57.280 Ivy League school
00:20:58.220 unless it's to
00:20:58.780 take a temporarily
00:20:59.720 take a government
00:21:00.520 high government
00:21:01.360 job and then go
00:21:02.040 back why would
00:21:04.020 one leave after
00:21:04.960 going through all
00:21:05.740 that and becoming
00:21:06.480 tenured was the
00:21:08.000 disillusionment
00:21:08.920 disillusionment that
00:21:10.400 great that it
00:21:11.260 would lead to your
00:21:12.100 leaving the tenured
00:21:13.840 position which
00:21:14.520 basically is a
00:21:15.440 sinecure for life
00:21:16.440 well at that
00:21:17.760 time no one
00:21:19.140 left the Ivy
00:21:19.840 League for
00:21:20.420 lesser school
00:21:21.160 nowadays it
00:21:22.960 happens all the
00:21:23.700 time in fact
00:21:24.540 at Vanderbilt
00:21:25.180 University where
00:21:26.280 I ended up
00:21:26.940 taking a
00:21:27.300 position I've
00:21:28.680 lost count of
00:21:29.640 how many people
00:21:30.940 from Princeton
00:21:31.760 and the Ivy
00:21:32.620 League that have
00:21:33.380 left the Ivy
00:21:34.020 League to be
00:21:35.860 on the faculty
00:21:37.240 at Vanderbilt
00:21:37.940 and like me
00:21:39.280 they accepted
00:21:40.320 a position at
00:21:41.060 Vanderbilt before
00:21:42.200 they were really
00:21:43.000 the world-class
00:21:44.620 university they
00:21:45.560 are today and
00:21:47.040 so you know I
00:21:48.660 sort of showed
00:21:49.220 people the way
00:21:49.880 out that there
00:21:50.500 was life after
00:21:51.340 the Ivy League
00:21:52.120 but you're
00:21:53.000 correct most
00:21:53.760 people felt that
00:21:55.040 if they were not
00:21:55.680 leaving Princeton
00:21:56.740 to go to Harvard
00:21:57.600 or Columbia or
00:21:59.280 Stanford then they
00:22:00.780 were going to turn
00:22:01.340 down the position
00:22:02.160 I was willing to
00:22:04.240 take a lesser
00:22:05.300 position because it
00:22:07.340 didn't matter to me
00:22:08.420 in the same way
00:22:09.180 that it mattered to
00:22:09.980 them I've never
00:22:11.020 been caught up
00:22:11.900 in I don't
00:22:15.080 know what you
00:22:15.500 would call it
00:22:16.200 the people at
00:22:20.300 the Ivy League
00:22:21.120 are really in
00:22:21.700 love with being
00:22:22.340 at the Ivy League
00:22:23.320 they love the
00:22:24.460 institutions and I
00:22:25.600 was never caught
00:22:26.440 up in that
00:22:27.500 what when you
00:22:31.140 said that you
00:22:33.040 weren't the right
00:22:33.600 kind of black
00:22:34.240 and that Princeton
00:22:35.360 thought you were
00:22:35.960 safe and it
00:22:37.400 turns out that
00:22:38.160 that you weren't
00:22:39.260 their type of
00:22:39.880 safe what
00:22:40.280 what when they
00:22:41.100 say safe what
00:22:41.940 were they looking
00:22:42.700 what were they
00:22:43.400 looking for what
00:22:44.220 what was it that
00:22:45.880 they thought that
00:22:46.500 you were going to
00:22:46.860 be safe about
00:22:47.540 well they hired me
00:22:49.160 because I was a
00:22:49.820 good political
00:22:50.300 scientist in fact
00:22:51.980 people who
00:22:53.020 complimented my
00:22:54.100 first book which
00:22:55.100 was titled
00:22:55.680 Black Faces
00:22:56.900 Black Interest
00:22:57.720 the Representation
00:22:58.560 of African
00:22:59.000 Americans in
00:22:59.560 Congress published
00:23:00.700 by Harvard in
00:23:02.500 1993 and updated
00:23:03.800 in 1995 they
00:23:05.920 would say that
00:23:07.160 it was such a
00:23:07.700 great book and
00:23:08.540 and people
00:23:09.280 can't guess
00:23:10.660 your race by
00:23:11.360 reading it so
00:23:12.460 there was no
00:23:12.920 evidence that you
00:23:13.700 could guess my
00:23:14.240 race well you
00:23:15.320 should never be
00:23:15.960 able to guess a
00:23:16.620 person's race by
00:23:17.580 reading that
00:23:18.040 research if they're
00:23:19.220 doing research the
00:23:20.560 research should
00:23:21.220 stand by itself
00:23:22.280 so I accepted
00:23:25.720 and and I really
00:23:27.120 bought into the
00:23:28.620 standards of that
00:23:30.000 time and I
00:23:32.420 loved many of
00:23:35.880 things about
00:23:36.720 academia and
00:23:38.360 the students but
00:23:39.860 it was never a
00:23:40.560 good fit for me
00:23:41.680 my colleagues
00:23:43.060 spoke in long
00:23:43.880 paragraphs like
00:23:45.300 if they were
00:23:45.620 going to ask a
00:23:46.180 question it had a
00:23:47.220 long preface and
00:23:48.940 it would take them
00:23:49.740 five minutes to
00:23:50.480 ask the question
00:23:51.160 if I'm going to
00:23:52.260 ask a question or
00:23:53.260 answer a question
00:23:54.080 it'll only take me
00:23:55.440 a few seconds or
00:23:56.400 maybe a minute
00:23:57.040 what talk to us
00:24:01.200 about your
00:24:01.480 Christian conversion
00:24:02.240 how did that come
00:24:03.560 about because it
00:24:04.360 sounds like that
00:24:04.940 is one of the
00:24:06.100 most important
00:24:06.600 things in your
00:24:07.060 life
00:24:07.340 I've always been
00:24:11.280 a seeker of
00:24:12.220 truth and and I
00:24:14.840 guess I've always
00:24:15.500 been on a journey
00:24:16.580 and I and I've
00:24:18.400 been curious very
00:24:19.500 curious and that's
00:24:20.760 why my journey
00:24:21.480 sort of took me
00:24:22.160 through Eastern
00:24:22.660 religions a new
00:24:23.800 age and and
00:24:25.820 like full circle
00:24:26.640 to Christianity
00:24:27.360 I was I studied
00:24:30.180 with Jehovah's
00:24:30.800 witnesses for a
00:24:31.620 while like I was
00:24:32.460 all over the place
00:24:33.200 spiritually but I
00:24:36.420 guess 1997 was
00:24:39.300 when I had an
00:24:40.460 experience in a
00:24:41.160 medical hospital
00:24:42.160 that resulted in
00:24:43.660 another experience
00:24:44.920 and I don't want to
00:24:45.440 get in all the
00:24:45.940 details that people
00:24:46.920 will have to wait
00:24:47.540 for the book
00:24:48.200 because it will
00:24:49.740 have a chapter on
00:24:50.780 my spiritual journey
00:24:51.840 but that I sort of
00:24:55.300 came to the end
00:24:56.000 of myself and I
00:24:57.140 had always
00:24:57.840 struggled with
00:24:58.420 depression in fact
00:24:59.740 as a teenager I
00:25:02.340 used to do
00:25:02.840 suicide gestures
00:25:03.840 and I never
00:25:05.260 went back to
00:25:06.020 the suicide
00:25:07.040 gestures as an
00:25:08.340 adult but I
00:25:09.960 struggled with
00:25:10.540 depression and
00:25:11.320 right after I got
00:25:12.140 my tenure at
00:25:13.340 Princeton it was
00:25:14.800 like is this all
00:25:16.500 there is like I
00:25:17.940 worked you know
00:25:18.880 night and day
00:25:19.680 seven days a week
00:25:21.440 and this is all
00:25:22.660 there is and I
00:25:23.860 had won you know
00:25:24.700 the three national
00:25:25.400 prizes and the
00:25:27.200 book that I
00:25:27.940 published back then
00:25:29.580 has been cited
00:25:30.360 by the U.S.
00:25:31.000 Supreme Court and
00:25:32.440 people would say
00:25:33.060 to me what are
00:25:34.560 you going to do
00:25:35.040 now like you
00:25:36.360 can't you've won
00:25:37.500 the career award
00:25:38.580 it's like you
00:25:39.200 can't top yourself
00:25:40.080 what are you going
00:25:40.620 to do now and a
00:25:42.640 part of me during
00:25:44.080 the time I was at
00:25:44.920 Princeton I wanted
00:25:46.080 to prove stuff and
00:25:47.680 I wanted to prove
00:25:48.480 that a person from
00:25:49.440 my background could
00:25:50.480 go to Princeton they
00:25:51.940 could get tenure and
00:25:52.900 they could get it
00:25:53.500 early and I had
00:25:55.320 proven that that
00:25:56.620 was the case and
00:25:57.940 then I sort of lost
00:25:59.080 interest in that I
00:26:00.820 went to Yale law
00:26:01.800 school got a
00:26:02.400 master's in law I
00:26:04.000 was interested in
00:26:04.860 law because my
00:26:06.060 book was being
00:26:06.740 cited in court
00:26:08.340 cases related to
00:26:09.840 voting rights and
00:26:10.680 so that made me
00:26:11.260 very curious and
00:26:12.640 then I realized
00:26:13.440 that the legal
00:26:15.480 community liked my
00:26:16.880 research because I
00:26:18.440 didn't think like a
00:26:19.360 lawyer and that I
00:26:21.580 didn't want to
00:26:22.300 think like a
00:26:22.920 lawyer and so I
00:26:24.180 got the master's
00:26:25.100 in law after my

00:29:00.900 okay welcome back we've
00:29:18.400 had a merry Christmas now
00:29:20.600 the 12 days of Christmas
00:29:21.720 one of the things I don't
00:29:22.380 like about modern
00:29:23.020 Christmas is that they
00:29:24.340 they start you know in
00:29:26.380 October and of course
00:29:27.460 right on Christmas day
00:29:28.760 everybody you know the
00:29:30.120 music stops everything
00:29:31.100 we should have the 12
00:29:32.060 days of Christmas when I
00:29:32.920 was a kid you you
00:29:33.980 decorate the tree on
00:29:35.480 Christmas Eve and then
00:29:37.260 kept the tree up the
00:29:38.740 entire way Dr. Carol
00:29:40.300 Swain so we're talking
00:29:42.580 about the you said is
00:29:44.700 there's got to be more
00:29:45.440 than this you had this
00:29:46.680 medical thing you'll talk
00:29:47.840 about the memoir but
00:29:48.740 the without giving too
00:29:50.540 much away for the
00:29:51.500 memoir the conversion
00:29:52.560 itself how did that
00:29:54.500 build up and it was
00:29:56.280 dramatic it was
00:29:57.580 pulling on the road to
00:29:58.600 Damascus so it was
00:30:02.060 Damascene as we say
00:30:03.420 yes something like that
00:30:05.220 and you know I always
00:30:07.600 knew that there was
00:30:08.240 something larger than
00:30:09.140 me guiding my life but
00:30:10.600 I was not willing you
00:30:12.320 know to say you know
00:30:13.400 Jesus Christ I believe
00:30:14.700 one God many paths and
00:30:17.220 but I was always quote
00:30:19.220 spiritual and I've had
00:30:21.400 many supernatural
00:30:22.340 experiences over the
00:30:23.500 course of my life and
00:30:24.440 so I always knew that
00:30:25.260 there was something
00:30:25.840 larger than me guiding
00:30:27.200 my life and I never
00:30:28.720 found the church
00:30:29.460 satisfied and and you
00:30:32.420 know I had relatives
00:30:33.580 and people that were so
00:30:34.780 worried about my soul
00:30:35.820 and you know I looked at
00:30:38.720 their lives and I
00:30:39.580 thought their lives were
00:30:41.400 much worse than mine not
00:30:42.760 not the poverty but the
00:30:44.820 moral choices I in the
00:30:47.200 world was living a life
00:30:48.780 that in some ways was
00:30:50.980 you know more ethical
00:30:53.220 more moral than many of
00:30:55.820 the people that were
00:30:56.560 trying to convert me and
00:30:58.420 so to to have that
00:31:00.900 Christian conversion
00:31:01.740 experience where I felt
00:31:03.700 like I came face to face
00:31:05.180 you know with myself and
00:31:06.600 and as a sinner as well as
00:31:09.740 with God's love it resulted
00:31:13.240 in me taking my eyes off of
00:31:15.300 other people and really
00:31:16.900 focusing on myself and my
00:31:18.600 relationship with Christ
00:31:19.700 and for churches I I am a
00:31:22.580 member of a church in fact
00:31:24.720 I'm in a southern
00:31:25.440 Baptist church I never saw
00:31:26.920 that coming because I was
00:31:28.160 always more charismatic you
00:31:30.500 know wanted churches that
00:31:32.120 were more effusive but I
00:31:34.320 care about church
00:31:35.020 leadership I would not be in
00:31:36.520 a church where I thought
00:31:37.460 the leaders were immoral but
00:31:39.460 I don't spend my time
00:31:40.460 looking at my fellow
00:31:41.500 believers and my fellow
00:31:42.980 congregants because we're
00:31:44.380 all sinners and I think
00:31:46.020 one of the things that
00:31:47.040 really helped me uh
00:31:48.920 understand President
00:31:50.580 Trump is that um I think
00:31:55.200 that now where am I going
00:31:57.120 with this uh oh when he was
00:31:59.880 being attacked I don't know
00:32:01.180 what's pretty it's pretty
00:32:02.000 it's pretty it's pretty
00:32:03.360 interesting so keep going
00:32:04.700 okay this thing um when
00:32:07.340 people attacked President
00:32:09.220 Trump for his past life and
00:32:11.600 said he was a sinner and
00:32:13.260 that uh how could a
00:32:14.560 Christian support President
00:32:16.460 Trump I mean the whole
00:32:18.020 message of the gospel is
00:32:19.900 that we're all sinners and
00:32:21.260 that Jesus died on the
00:32:22.600 cross for our past present
00:32:25.120 and future sins and we're
00:32:27.520 all imperfect the church is
00:32:29.660 is a hospital it's meant to
00:32:31.160 be a hospital uh without um
00:32:33.800 God's redeeming power we
00:32:36.160 would all be lost and so
00:32:37.800 perfection was never uh God's
00:32:40.760 standard and the people that
00:32:42.260 he's used throughout the
00:32:43.260 Bible were all broken
00:32:44.880 people and not all of them
00:32:46.760 uh were um Jewish in the
00:32:49.480 Old Testament some of them
00:32:50.860 were pagans God has always
00:32:52.900 used all kinds of people
00:32:54.360 throughout history and so I
00:32:56.820 find it so offensive when you
00:32:58.320 have these great theologians or
00:33:00.840 the uh never Trumpers out
00:33:03.160 there you know preaching uh
00:33:05.040 that they are morally superior
00:33:06.320 and that no self-respecting
00:33:08.700 Christian could support a
00:33:10.540 sinner like Donald Trump they
00:33:12.500 don't understand the gospel of
00:33:13.840 Jesus Christ and I say that
00:33:16.200 um uh because I mean we all a
00:33:21.540 mess in some sort of way we all
00:33:23.540 are and those of us who have
00:33:25.780 accepted the free gift of
00:33:27.900 salvation we're constantly
00:33:29.820 working on ourselves but we'll
00:33:31.460 never be perfect as long as we
00:33:33.380 own this earth and so we should
00:33:35.200 not hold impossible standards for
00:33:37.300 other people we become
00:33:38.800 Pharisees and unfortunately
00:33:40.720 there are too many Pharisees out
00:33:42.460 there in the world and in the
00:33:43.960 church who think you know that
00:33:45.400 they have it all together when
00:33:46.960 they don't
00:33:48.300 given you took a a uh a position on
00:33:53.360 this commission for President
00:33:54.800 Trump I think the 1776
00:33:56.300 commission you took a you've got a
00:33:58.640 great love of American history and
00:34:00.200 its traditions
00:34:00.780 one of the things people talk about
00:34:02.800 now is the rise of under Trump or
00:34:04.760 associate Trump or Christian
00:34:05.920 nationalism and other people are
00:34:07.260 saying hey we're we're a post
00:34:08.820 Christian country uh give us give
00:34:11.800 us your assessment of that are we
00:34:13.280 post Christian and we're seeing a
00:34:15.400 rise of Christian nationalism or is
00:34:17.700 it uh are we the same country we've
00:34:19.840 always been
00:34:20.300 I think that phrase of post uh
00:34:23.400 Christian I mean Christian
00:34:25.180 nationalism we started hearing it
00:34:27.260 uh after January 6th because the
00:34:30.360 protesters were labeled as uh Christian
00:34:34.160 nationalists I think that anyone who
00:34:38.020 reads the Bible understands that God
00:34:40.200 dealt with nation states and uh their
00:34:43.140 scriptures that God placed people in
00:34:45.320 nations and when the Israelites were
00:34:48.680 uh exiled to Babylon he told them uh
00:34:53.020 you know to plant uh you know gardens to
00:34:56.220 pray for the welfare of the nations where
00:34:58.220 they were being dispersed to that if
00:35:00.500 those nations prospered they would
00:35:02.260 prosper and if you look at America's
00:35:05.240 founding there's no way that you can
00:35:07.620 dispute the fact that America was
00:35:09.920 founded by people who were deeply
00:35:11.500 religious who were deeply Christian the
00:35:14.700 Jewish part comes from the fact that
00:35:16.780 Christians you know we celebrate the
00:35:19.840 Judeo-Christian Bible uh the Old
00:35:22.860 Testament which is I believe the Jewish
00:35:25.040 Torah that's a part of who we are you
00:35:28.260 don't get Christians without Jews and
00:35:31.400 so I think Christian nationalism is just
00:35:34.920 a way to marginalize Christians to try to
00:35:37.680 keep them out of the political arena and
00:35:40.620 it's impossible to live in a society and
00:35:43.740 have a culture that that is as polluted
00:35:47.040 as ours is and set on the sidelines and
00:35:50.400 so those people that that are labeling
00:35:52.020 Christians as nationalists they're doing
00:35:54.200 that as a way uh to divide and as a way
00:35:57.940 to keep Christians on the sidelines so
00:36:00.400 that they can dominate everything
00:36:02.020 do you believe Christians should not be
00:36:05.440 on the sideline I mean there's a
00:36:06.800 element of the church that says hey
00:36:08.480 what do you mean by that I mean look
00:36:11.860 what's happening to our children in the
00:36:13.440 public schools and we have a government
00:36:15.340 now that's really pushing policies that
00:36:18.080 I would say are contrary to our civil
00:36:21.500 rights laws and our constitutions equal
00:36:24.580 protection clause uh and I'm talking
00:36:27.160 about through the diversity equity and
00:36:29.520 inclusion the CRT and things that they're
00:36:33.200 doing with the transgender movement many
00:36:36.340 of the things that the government is
00:36:37.780 pushing right now I believe it's just
00:36:40.900 blatantly unconstitutional and it
00:36:43.360 certainly runs counter to the civil rights
00:36:46.280 act of 1964 and its various extensions
00:36:49.860 and uh titles when we this uh movement
00:36:55.760 particularly the transgender what I would
00:36:57.780 call the gender ideology it came out of
00:37:00.920 the not for profits also came out of the
00:37:02.360 universities did you see because right
00:37:04.360 now it's so much more radical uh than
00:37:07.120 it's ever been and it's a aggressively
00:37:09.100 radical did you see this coming out of
00:37:11.300 the your university setting because you've
00:37:12.900 been associated with universities for what
00:37:14.580 30 or 40 years did you did you see this
00:37:17.620 brewing and other elements outside let's
00:37:20.440 say the political science or history
00:37:21.820 department no I did not see it um being
00:37:26.080 mainstreamed in the way that it has I did
00:37:28.780 not see how it would take over k-12
00:37:31.460 education and during the time I was at
00:37:34.340 Princeton and at Vanderbilt uh at
00:37:37.360 Princeton for sure and at Vanderbilt for
00:37:40.000 most of my career I was not interested in
00:37:42.640 critical race theory or Marxism and I was
00:37:46.600 just busy doing my thing and I had no idea
00:37:49.300 how it would impact the university and it
00:37:53.820 has been so mainstreamed and it is
00:37:56.540 destructive and there's so many dangerous
00:37:58.500 ideas that have come out of academia and I
00:38:01.540 find it very troubling I believe that
00:38:03.820 parents should think long and hard about
00:38:05.940 sending their children off to most
00:38:07.860 universities because those universities are
00:38:10.900 geared towards taking the young people who
00:38:13.560 enter those doors breaking down their values
00:38:16.400 and then remaking them uh into whatever the
00:38:20.220 institution sees as its values and with the
00:38:24.620 transgender movement there were many people
00:38:28.120 that thought you know you support gay rights
00:38:32.120 and like for myself all of my life like I have
00:38:35.600 believed in non-discrimination and so non-discrimination
00:38:38.600 I certainly didn't want gays discriminated against
00:38:41.400 uh I did not support gay marriage because I
00:38:45.100 believe that a marriage is a union between a male
00:38:47.400 and female but once that became the law of the land
00:38:50.580 it was clear that progressives had a much larger agenda
00:38:54.440 that that was just cracking open the door
00:38:56.380 to the things that you're seeing today
00:38:58.600 and I don't believe that the
00:39:01.180 state of affairs today with the transgenderism
00:39:05.400 the uh pedophilia that's being pushed
00:39:08.800 uh in some elements I think in the gay community
00:39:11.500 that doesn't represent uh the older
00:39:14.960 gay people that I have known
00:39:16.960 uh they are probably as appalled as we are
00:39:19.920 about what's happening
00:39:20.780 not enough of them are speaking up about it
00:39:23.320 but to have an administration
00:39:26.240 like the one we have in in government
00:39:28.860 and we can go back now to the religious
00:39:31.160 my religious understanding of the old testament
00:39:33.740 and god is that god deals with nations
00:39:36.980 he judges nations
00:39:38.180 and so if he holds the same standards
00:39:40.980 uh for america as he did for ancient israel
00:39:45.720 then um america is doomed
00:39:49.240 i believe that america could easily fall
00:39:52.160 if it if the nation has not already fallen
00:39:54.920 to china or north korea
00:39:57.640 and and we would have done it to ourselves
00:40:00.520 that god has sort of given us over to our sin
00:40:04.120 and to the things that we've chosen
00:40:05.980 and I think because our nation
00:40:07.620 is one where we elect our leaders
00:40:10.000 they enact their policies on their behalf
00:40:12.780 and we pay taxes for things that are reprehensible to god
00:40:17.280 that we all have guilt
00:40:19.840 because these are our leaders
00:40:22.000 we put them in place
00:40:23.520 uh we are supporting their policies
00:40:25.780 and I expect america to fall
00:40:28.720 and it could easily happen
00:40:30.500 in my lifetime and yours
00:40:32.480 why do you say that
00:40:35.400 because you think we're so far off track
00:40:37.120 of what are the underpinnings
00:40:38.820 of of the judeo-christian west
00:40:41.080 I think that for bible-believing christians
00:40:45.160 and there's some christians
00:40:46.560 that have made uh uh alliances
00:40:49.100 you know with the worst of the culture
00:40:50.940 uh they've been able to excuse that
00:40:53.800 i think that if god holds us to the same standard
00:40:57.080 he's held other nations
00:40:58.540 we are doomed
00:40:59.900 and i believe that the only thing
00:41:02.100 that could turn around the situation for america
00:41:05.600 would be another great awakening
00:41:07.480 uh some kind of revival
00:41:09.340 i'm not sure that will happen
00:41:11.740 uh and absent that happening
00:41:14.380 we are destroying ourselves
00:41:16.940 and i have this
00:41:18.900 deep down feeling
00:41:20.920 that china
00:41:21.700 is the dominant
00:41:23.280 world power
00:41:24.440 that's controlling us
00:41:25.700 in america
00:41:26.320 that our leaders are sold out
00:41:27.840 uh to the chinese government
00:41:29.700 the chinese dollars
00:41:30.860 that uh they control
00:41:32.680 you know so much of our food supply
00:41:34.780 our prescription medicines
00:41:36.440 uh and that
00:41:38.260 we have put ourselves in a situation
00:41:40.360 that we are the lesser
00:41:43.480 and when i look at the ukraine
00:41:45.380 that situation
00:41:46.700 that president obama
00:41:48.120 and biden have set up
00:41:49.500 that is actually causing
00:41:51.440 the suffering
00:41:52.420 and death
00:41:53.140 of the ukrainian people
00:41:54.560 and
00:41:54.880 and this is something
00:41:56.680 that our government
00:41:57.740 instigated
00:41:58.600 the conflict
00:41:59.660 between putin
00:42:00.920 and the ukraine
00:42:02.300 they knew exactly
00:42:03.600 what they were doing
00:42:04.520 and uh
00:42:05.660 just hang on for one second
00:42:09.200 no no it's great

00:44:37.540 by the way you're at the texas
00:44:38.860 you're a distinguished
00:44:39.540 what senior fellow
00:44:40.680 at the texas public policy institute today
00:44:42.880 ma'am
00:44:43.320 i am
00:44:44.660 it's a foundation
00:44:45.860 and on this show
00:44:49.240 i'm expressing my views
00:44:50.540 not theirs
00:44:51.220 amen
00:44:53.960 amen to that
00:44:55.400 let's talk about
00:44:56.420 we only got a few minutes left
00:44:57.920 let's talk about
00:44:58.780 uh
00:44:59.160 the great awakening
00:45:00.800 what what is needed
00:45:02.280 for a great awakening
00:45:03.800 in your mind
00:45:04.580 to wake up the american people
00:45:06.060 ma'am
00:45:06.560 well first of all
00:45:08.020 the surveys that i see
00:45:09.620 show that the overwhelming
00:45:11.040 majority of americans say
00:45:12.940 that the nation is headed
00:45:14.320 in the wrong direction
00:45:15.320 so that they know that some
00:45:16.900 that there's something terribly wrong
00:45:18.500 yet the leaders that we have
00:45:20.720 in the democratic
00:45:21.480 and republican parties
00:45:23.400 they're not really responsive
00:45:25.420 to what the american people
00:45:26.960 want
00:45:27.660 and so we get same on same on
00:45:29.460 i don't believe that there is
00:45:31.720 a political solution
00:45:33.020 to what ails america
00:45:34.360 and so what i think
00:45:35.820 needs to happen
00:45:36.760 is
00:45:37.240 people
00:45:38.120 need to
00:45:39.440 return to
00:45:40.580 those judeo-christian
00:45:43.220 values
00:45:43.760 that helped make
00:45:44.880 america great
00:45:46.140 and i'm not saying this
00:45:47.720 you know
00:45:48.000 as a trump supporter
00:45:48.880 i have not picked a candidate
00:45:50.220 for 2024
00:45:51.220 i'm out there listening
00:45:52.820 because i don't know
00:45:53.580 what god
00:45:54.060 god wants to do
00:45:55.320 in 2024
00:45:55.960 so i'm listening
00:45:58.020 very carefully
00:45:59.260 and i'm watching
00:45:59.980 all the candidates
00:46:01.020 uh but i believe
00:46:02.400 that prayer
00:46:03.360 is important
00:46:04.280 for those of us
00:46:05.240 who are christian believers
00:46:06.640 uh that we need
00:46:08.120 to to pray
00:46:08.940 for revival
00:46:10.140 i believe that
00:46:11.540 we need to stand up
00:46:12.600 for righteousness
00:46:13.360 that there is good
00:46:14.780 and evil in the world
00:46:15.920 and when we
00:46:17.080 um
00:46:17.520 are silent
00:46:18.580 and we turn our eyes
00:46:19.700 away from things
00:46:20.520 that we know
00:46:21.320 shouldn't be taking
00:46:22.660 place
00:46:23.960 and we don't speak up
00:46:25.280 then i think
00:46:26.360 we're complicit
00:46:27.120 in the things
00:46:28.560 that have taken place
00:46:29.320 around us
00:46:30.040 so we need to do
00:46:31.740 um
00:46:32.240 we need to sort of
00:46:33.720 go back to first things
00:46:34.880 and there are values
00:46:36.360 and uh principles
00:46:38.260 and there is a truth
00:46:39.460 and with the political left
00:46:41.420 they argue
00:46:42.000 that there is no truth
00:46:43.300 uh
00:46:44.140 and they believe
00:46:45.280 that uh
00:46:46.600 they have lost
00:46:47.880 all sense
00:46:48.540 of common sense
00:46:50.320 in that we know
00:46:51.780 that
00:46:52.080 that
00:46:52.700 that among them
00:46:54.120 they believe
00:46:54.860 that males
00:46:55.400 can have babies
00:46:56.320 they believe
00:46:57.140 that you can change
00:46:58.300 your sex
00:46:58.960 they believe
00:46:59.820 things that
00:47:00.340 that are ludicrous
00:47:01.420 but not enough
00:47:02.560 of us are willing
00:47:03.280 to stand up
00:47:04.020 and say that
00:47:04.600 that doesn't make
00:47:05.280 any sense
00:47:05.700 that's ludicrous
00:47:06.880 not enough of us
00:47:08.380 are willing
00:47:09.200 to stand up
00:47:10.000 when we see
00:47:10.540 children being
00:47:11.620 mutilated
00:47:12.280 or when we see
00:47:13.320 child abuse
00:47:14.060 and i think that
00:47:15.000 for us to have
00:47:16.140 a revival
00:47:16.740 we have to know
00:47:17.720 right from wrong
00:47:19.160 truth from lies
00:47:20.980 we have to be
00:47:22.160 bold enough
00:47:22.700 to speak
00:47:23.280 and we have to
00:47:24.540 um
00:47:24.920 uh
00:47:25.660 those of us
00:47:26.540 who are christian believers
00:47:27.580 have to pray
00:47:28.500 uh
00:47:29.360 pray for our fellow
00:47:30.220 believers
00:47:30.840 pray for our nation
00:47:32.120 pray for a miracle
00:47:33.520 pray for revival

00:48:24.700 very likely

00:48:27.060 same kinds
00:48:27.780 of leaders
00:48:28.180 we do
00:48:28.760 and if we
00:48:29.540 continue
00:48:30.100 putting our
00:48:30.740 faith in
