00:00:00.000 melissa tate is a christian conservative author activist and political commentator
00:00:10.200 she's also the author of the book choice privilege what's race got to do with it
00:00:14.720 melissa how are you doing today thanks for joining me on the show i'm doing great thank you so much
00:00:20.020 for having me now i want to get into your exactly what came about for your book and you writing it
00:00:25.640 in a little bit but first i want to try to play the other side on you and say what and ask you
00:00:31.220 what exactly are some of the issues that you have with critical race theory
00:00:35.500 well uh basically uh critical race theory um is a is a marxist ideology really at its core like
00:00:45.900 you really just want to go down to its core you know it's a marxist ideology that is designed to 0.98
00:00:51.160 racially divide and conquer a nation for marxism yeah so uh so it's something that i've actually
00:00:56.760 seen play out in my own country and i and i write a lot about that in my book but also uh you know just
00:01:02.840 even not even looking at the bigger picture you know what is it doing to children what is it doing
00:01:07.440 to white children what is it doing to black children so it has a psychological effect that
00:01:13.120 it's having on children and on people and on society so it's something that i don't think is
00:01:20.100 good on a societal level in on the bigger picture side i feel it is dangerous because it's marxism
00:01:26.720 now it's come to a lot of people's attention and there's of course people or parents gathering
00:01:32.620 together and trying to put a stop to it in their school districts into their school boards so now
00:01:37.780 that that's been brought to light a lot of the counter argument to that are people just saying this
00:01:42.280 is just a way to teach children about racial injustices and the law about past history that people
00:01:48.460 have faced in the united states uh how do you feel about that do you think that if parents were to
00:01:53.020 just sit and read more about what their children are being taught that they'd be more against it or
00:01:57.640 would they be understanding of what you know people might argue that they're trying to teach
00:02:01.920 no i don't think they would be understanding because the way it's being reported in media is very
00:02:07.860 different from how it's actually playing out in real life and i'll give you an example of that lady named 1.00
00:02:13.160 gabby i forget what her last name is but she's actually one of the first women 0.67
00:02:17.240 to sue a school for teaching that type of ideology because the way it manifested in her son's life so
00:02:24.920 she's actually a biracial woman so she's black and her son i guess he looks white and because he looks
00:02:33.320 white he was asked by the school to write a paper stating his white dominance and he refused to do that
00:02:41.040 and rightfully so because you shouldn't be forced to do something like that and because he did that
00:02:46.760 he was met with um you know pushback he i think he actually got punished for it by the school for
00:02:54.760 not writing a paper about his white dominance so you see how this is playing out and this is uh so the
00:03:01.120 mother was horrified and she's actually suing the school for this reason so you see what it does it like
00:03:06.740 targets children and and puts them in a position where they're supposed to you know internalize their
00:03:14.440 their race and and feel guilty about it if they're white if they're black they're being told that
00:03:20.640 you're oppressed and you you can't amount to anything so to me this is something that is very
00:03:26.620 dangerous to children and it shouldn't be taught in schools at all now in grade school and high school
00:03:33.020 you're sort of expecting the children to just you know taking what they're told they're they're uh quizzed
00:03:38.360 you're tested on it and you move on from there but in college and university you're supposed to have
00:03:43.520 more of a critical uh thought basis to what you're being taught you're supposed to question it and maybe
00:03:49.680 come up with some ideas to go against it but why is it do you think that so many young people college
00:03:55.040 university age are willing to jump on board with this especially people who are who are living in
00:04:01.380 areas where they maybe feel like they have some sort of privilege and they've been told that other
00:04:06.500 people who don't look like them would not have the same privilege as they do well because the 0.98
00:04:11.780 universities no longer teach people how to critically think or challenge any ideas they're just basically
00:04:18.080 given what they're supposed to think and really they're being told what to think and these children
00:04:23.340 you know particularly from the white privileged areas they're being told to feel guilty about you know
00:04:28.900 who they are about being white and to feel sorry for all these black people because they're oppressed
00:04:34.440 and so forth and that's what they start to internalize but really what it is it's it's a
00:04:39.960 critical race theory it claims to state that they are trying to teach history but really they don't
00:04:46.240 really teach the true history it's a very revisionist history if you really study the type of history
00:04:51.220 they're they're uh teaching out there because it is a history that only focuses on the bad things that
00:04:57.520 happen to black people but it also erases all the achievement that black people and all the 0.98
00:05:03.960 accomplishments black people have made in this country and all the contributions they've made to
00:05:09.260 this nation so it's a very one-sided type of way of looking at it and if children in universities are
00:05:16.000 just presented with one set of facts or one set of uh one uh one uh if they're presented just with
00:05:24.000 one type of history and not any other types of information then they're just going to form their
00:05:29.720 opinions on on what they're given and there's a lot of stuff that is emitted out of it and i'll give
00:05:35.500 you an example you know uh if you study booker t washington booker t washington was a great african
00:05:41.980 american man who built a great black university and actually the um the the president of harvard came to
00:05:50.400 the tuskegee institute which was his university the black university and stated that the booker t
00:05:57.720 washington's university was creating more millionaires than harvard princeton and the ale combined
00:06:03.800 you know and that's something that's not taught in critical race theory type history so and this is
00:06:09.840 at a time when white supremacy actually existed so during a time right after slavery when white
00:06:16.560 supremacy actually existed and there were barriers for black people black people were achieving great
00:06:22.100 things and building great societies and doing great things and all that stuff is erased from this
00:06:28.020 revisionist 1619 project type history that doesn't focus on any of the achievements that african americans
00:06:35.540 made in spite of the racism and oppression that was happening at that time so if that was happening in
00:06:42.460 1905 if a black man created a university that was creating millionaires 0.95
00:06:48.700 um that more millionaires than harvard princeton and yale combined so you're telling me that black 1.00
00:06:55.920 people can't succeed today in 2021 but that's what they're being told and it's a message that is
00:07:01.780 demoralizing to black children because they don't ever get to see any of that history of these great
00:07:07.920 achievements that african americans made and they just believe that they're oppressed and that becomes
00:07:12.960 a mentality that becomes a way of thinking for them and a belief system that actually starts
00:07:18.580 to manifest the poverty and oppression that we see today now you mentioned about sort of a revisionist
00:07:25.760 history and focusing on the negative stuff i was having a conversation with somebody recently
00:07:29.800 and we were we were actually in the grocery store and we're looking at uncle ben's rice and we're like
00:07:35.960 this is going to be targeted by cancel culture little did we know we were looking at an old box of
00:07:40.580 uncle ben's and it has already they've already taken him off of the box they've taken aunt jemima off
00:07:45.760 and there's actual history behind people like aunt jemima which is overwhelmingly positive now my
00:07:51.940 point is i want to ask who actually is affected by this if we take start taking black figures for
00:07:58.520 better or for worse the same thing with monuments and statues if we start taking figures down do you
00:08:03.840 see this as an actual positive for anybody do you walk through a grocery store or anybody you know
00:08:09.720 walk through a grocery store and say thank god uncle ben or aunt jemima are no longer on these products
00:08:15.020 does this make a difference to anyone other than you know maybe a thousand people on twitter who had
00:08:19.980 a problem with it yeah and you're absolutely right it doesn't it no critical race theory and all this
00:08:26.360 stuff is doesn't benefit anybody except the far left elites that's all who benefits out of it because
00:08:33.540 it really if you think about what they're doing how does it even benefit the average black person
00:08:38.020 if you see what's happening in the black communities right now the biggest issue is the fact that 1.00
00:08:43.020 black children are graduating not knowing how to read or do math so they're being set up for failure 1.00
00:08:49.020 and that is something that we should be talking about and focusing on instead we're tearing down
00:08:54.200 statues and taking uncle ben off the box of rice all these symbolic things that have nothing to do with
00:09:00.520 actual practical things that can actually help black children get out of the cycle of poverty and off the
00:09:06.560 prison school to prison pipeline so you see with the left everything is all about symbology it's never
00:09:12.700 about anything practical that is actually going to change anything in the black community because
00:09:17.380 they don't want anything to change in the black community because the way the left succeeds is to 0.56
00:09:22.280 come is is to perpetually have an underclass of voters that are poor and disgruntled and never
00:09:29.200 achieve anything so that they can continue to perpetuate the narrative of oppression in the hopes that
00:09:35.880 this oppression this oppressed class will then help them overthrow the system that they're trying to
00:09:41.620 overthrow which would be the american system in this case i think you're completely right and i want to
00:09:47.320 show the woman uh whose claims to have coined the term critical race theory she is you know joy reed on
00:09:54.640 msnbc i hate how much i mention her but she's got these she gets these people to come on and they're
00:10:00.780 basically saying that everybody's got it all wrong they're misrepresenting critical race theory so i
00:10:05.140 want to play that clip i'm not sure if you've seen it and then we'll get your comments on it
00:10:08.140 yeah it's very marxism look you know what here's here's the thing joy um critical race theory is not so
00:10:17.280 much a thing it's a way of looking at a thing it's a way of looking at race it's a way of looking
00:10:22.800 at why after so many decades centuries actually since the emancipation we have patterns of inequality
00:10:31.380 that are enduring they are stubborn and the point of critical race theory originally was to think and
00:10:38.260 talk about how law contributed to the subordinate status of african americans of indigenous people
00:10:45.600 and of an entire uh group of people who were coming to our shores now it seems to me like they don't
00:10:52.460 ever and if you and anyone can go and watch the full clip there i think it's a seven minute interview
00:10:56.480 they don't ever talk about what's actually being taught or what's actually in the papers that were
00:11:02.520 written about critical race theory it's like if i were to describe prison in the best way possible
00:11:07.160 i'd say it's a rehabilitation center where you know people go and they can learn about themselves they
00:11:12.020 can spend a lot of alone time and think about what's going on in their lives and they may come out
00:11:16.480 and be a better person or in the reality is you might you're gonna have to join a gang and you're
00:11:20.540 gonna get stabbed or something like that they don't want to actually talk about what's really in it
00:11:24.020 and on top of that they don't seem to see marxism as a bad thing now maybe i'm just reaching there
00:11:30.000 because it should be assumed that joy read or msnbc it's obvious that they don't see it as something
00:11:35.500 that's bad but they're kind of positioning it as separate the same thing with uh intersectionality
00:11:41.720 now now i think that's what's exactly what's going on in the media like we talked about earlier
00:11:46.420 do you think the goal should be to completely stop teaching things like critical race theory
00:11:50.960 altogether or do you think there's a different viewpoint that can be taught to try to get the
00:11:55.880 points that this is supposed to be uh to get those points across well first i'd like to uh address that
00:12:03.420 video that you just played and it just shows you how the left is deflecting from this issue because
00:12:09.980 they don't want to face the truth because they know that people the way this ideology is manifesting
00:12:15.480 is repulsive to people no matter what political side they're on so they want to keep people bogged
00:12:21.680 down on these academic definitions of what critical race theory is and not talk about the how it's
00:12:27.560 practically playing out in people's lives so i see what you're saying and then your second question
00:12:33.020 uh i'm sorry can you repeat what was that second thing you asked me yeah i'm just wondering if you
00:12:38.300 think we should eliminate that sort of thing completely or if there's a different angle maybe people can go at
00:12:43.240 to try to teach like a racial history or teach about inequality do you think that needs to be taught
00:12:49.460 at all or should that more of be a parental upbringing thing well here's the thing um i think
00:12:55.840 you know obviously it needs it shouldn't be in in k through 12 it really shouldn't be there but when you
00:13:03.960 always attack something because really us as conservatives it seems like we're always on defense
00:13:10.080 so we're always uh you know attacking what the left is doing so we have to have an alternative
00:13:15.140 so um i know that um what uh i forget what her name is um dr carol swain actually has a an alternative
00:13:25.380 to critical race theory trainings you know like the diversity trainings they have in the corporations
00:13:30.940 right you've seen those so um she has an alternative that she offers to people so you always want to
00:13:37.880 offer an alternative so when somebody gives you a glass of dirty water but there's nothing else to
00:13:44.680 drink people are just going to keep drinking this dirty water so you have to come up with a clean
00:13:48.920 glass of water so that people have an alternative so i believe in creating an alternative so i would
00:13:54.820 come up with maybe something like unity race theory that kind of encompasses all the history you know
00:14:00.940 the fact that black people were succeeding in this country the fact that a lot of white people
00:14:05.620 you know died and lost their lives to stop and end racism and slavery and all these things because
00:14:11.920 they never want to talk about that they never want to talk about the fact that you know some of the
00:14:16.500 africans were sold by other africans to come over here so this is not a you know they also don't talk 1.00
00:14:22.400 about the fact that slavery was just the norm in society and it was actually western civilization
00:14:28.020 based on christian judeo principles that actually ended slavery so all that is still part of history
00:14:35.180 so i think if us as conservatives come up with an alternative um you know history or an alternative
00:14:42.940 to critical race theory that shows the entire picture of what was happening during this time and
00:14:49.220 explains it then people have an alternative to to turn to and they can say okay well at our school we're
00:14:54.860 not going to teach critical race theory we're going to teach unity race theory and we're going to talk
00:14:59.280 about all the history and not just a selective history that's creating a narrative so that's kind
00:15:05.300 of the way i look at it i think another problem that arises from that is if you start going into the
00:15:11.280 history of you know civil rights and ending slavery in the united states it sort of goes against what
00:15:19.860 the democrat party claims to have been about and always been about throughout all of time whereas
00:15:25.620 you have a president joe biden who was friends with dixiecrats for example who were the party of slavery
00:15:30.580 so it's i i think some of the tiptoeing politically around that goes into pretending
00:15:35.660 and you talk to people today they have no idea that republicans were against slavery uh when it existed
00:15:41.680 so i think the political tiptoeing around that comes from not wanting to actually reveal
00:15:46.060 what is actually the reverse history uh that some people are taught but you know maybe that's a
00:15:51.080 conversation for another time i wanted to talk about also your book called choice privilege
00:15:56.120 and ask you what goes into writing a book like that like what inspired you to talk about this idea of
00:16:01.920 privilege well actually um it was actually inspired with the events that was taking place in 2020 so um
00:16:10.420 you know we had the george floyd uh tragedy that happened and we all know how the left seized on
00:16:16.900 that as an opportunity to smear the country as an entirely racist and evil nation and i reject that
00:16:23.560 premise because i am actually an immigrant from zimbabwe i came to the united states at the age of 19
00:16:29.240 i left everything and everybody i knew to come to this country with nothing but 300 in my pocket and a
00:16:35.040 suitcase full of clothes and by the time i was 27 years old i had a business that was doing
00:16:40.000 seven figures in revenue i was living the american dream i married i have three children so this
00:16:45.860 country has really been good to me so when i start to hear this narrative that america is oppressive to
00:16:51.340 minorities i know that to be a false narrative and when this george floyd tragedy happened in the
00:16:58.220 um you know the way the left really seized on that to create a narrative i felt like that was a
00:17:04.980 turning point in america in that this narrative that i used to hear on fall left twitter and fall
00:17:10.940 left academia that america systemically racist and evil started to become mainstream i started to see
00:17:16.940 it with friends family members and even my own pastor who was now posting you know black lives matter
00:17:23.400 decals all over the church windows and talking about his white privilege and apologizing yeah absolutely
00:17:30.440 i was mortified i was really mortified and that's that's what really just was like the tipping point
00:17:36.760 because i realized that you know because as somebody who follows politics very closely i know that the
00:17:42.460 premises that black lives matter you know uh put out there the fact that they say that black people
00:17:48.360 are literally being hunted down like deer seasoned by policemen and being shot and then the statistics and
00:17:54.420 the data don't even support their claims i know this i know that uh black lives matter is a
00:18:00.040 self-proclaimed marxist organization i know that they're anti-family they're very much anti-christian
00:18:06.600 values so to see my pastor actually just you know not knowing all these things and just you know going
00:18:12.100 with the flow it just it just really grieved my spirit and um in my frustration um the lord spoke to
00:18:19.480 me and said write a book about it and i was like okay i will so um i wrote the book and it's called
00:18:25.380 choice privilege and basically uh it's a play on the words white privilege and i cross out where it
00:18:30.300 says white and i put in choice because in america it's not it's not the color of your skin that
00:18:36.280 determines your destiny and the quality of your life it's actually the choices that you make that
00:18:41.240 has been my experience and that has been what my mother has taught me and i think that is an
00:18:45.960 empowering message that it is the choices that you make because it gives you power to change your
00:18:52.480 situation but if you're telling black children or minority children that you know you're doomed
00:18:58.420 to fail just because of the color of your skin something that you can't change you can change
00:19:02.960 your action you can change your choices and change your destiny but if you're not being given that
00:19:08.200 message that you have the power to change your life and change your destiny for the better because
00:19:13.380 of the choices you make but that you're doomed to fail because of the color of your skin 0.92
00:19:18.580 that is a message that is very defeating it is demoralizing and it is something that you know
00:19:26.180 everybody should reject no matter what color you are don't you think it's really weird i mean 20 years 0.95
00:19:32.020 ago i mean i grew up on the very things that you're talking about uh you can do anything you want
00:19:37.640 regardless of your race um the goal of society is for everyone to be equal and and we have laws that
00:19:43.840 reflect that it's weird to me that now a person saying the things like you're saying and that a
00:19:50.840 lot of people are starting to say now this is sort of supposed to be a counterculture this is against
00:19:55.120 the grain and in many places you're not supposed to you're not supposed to say that yeah have you
00:20:00.560 noticed how weird of a world we live in in this sense where it's like we're edgy now to say that
00:20:06.380 everyone should be equal yes well it's equal opportunity and not equal outcomes but now we're you know
00:20:13.300 moving into the space that unless we have equal outcomes then you know america is a horrible place
00:20:19.160 and obviously there's no way of ever getting um equal outcomes it's an unattainable goal but you see
00:20:26.020 that with the left everything they propose is something that is unattainable like they say we're
00:20:31.060 going to erad we have to eradicate racism how are you going to eradicate racism how are you going to
00:20:37.520 regulate the way people feel you know so they always have this unattainable thing that they put out there
00:20:43.200 as a goal knowing that it's unattainable and that if you don't attain it then you're never you know
00:20:48.940 then the country is just a horrible place but really what's happening um you know what we're seeing like
00:20:54.620 you're talking about is that this has taken the left um a hundred years you know it's been a slow
00:21:01.540 march through the institutions they've basically infiltrated every sphere of influence from media
00:21:07.900 to education to entertainment to business to everything and they did it while we christians
00:21:16.040 and conservatives just basically you know didn't do anything about it and now we're finally waking up
00:21:21.860 in a world where if you say there's two genders you're the crazy one so uh it's really because we 0.99
00:21:28.660 haven't really um you know pushed back on the left's you know slow infiltration into every sphere of
00:21:36.100 society but i feel like it's not too late and i feel like people are finally waking up now we're
00:21:41.340 kind of waking up in the in the last innings but we can still we can still win if everybody gets
00:21:49.460 involved and gets engaged and that's that's kind of been my message like we need to just get off the
00:21:54.480 sidelines and realize that we are in big trouble in this country if we let the marxist take over 1.00
00:22:00.960 and coming from a country that that fell to marxism used critical race theory as you know as a means
00:22:08.060 to achieve that goal i understand what we're up against i understand what the result is going to be
00:22:15.820 if these people win and it is ugly and that's why i have felt really compelled to write this book
00:22:21.520 and warn people that this is not a game this is not something we should take lightly that everybody
00:22:28.000 needs to get involved and start speaking up standing up going to school boards you know even
00:22:33.600 pulling your kids out of public schools you know that's something i really talk about but we really
00:22:38.200 have to become awakened engaged and radical now i hear people like candace owens and uh amala
00:22:47.340 ek panobi from prager you they talk about these assumptions that people have about their beliefs just
00:22:53.360 because they're black now is this something that you've experienced personally and do you feel compelled 0.97
00:22:57.820 to sort of tell them about zimbabwe um well i mean most people i mean obviously you see that most
00:23:06.520 people well the way i see it is most african americans really are conservative in their values
00:23:13.060 you know they believe the same things we kind of believe just the average person but it's all it's that
00:23:18.960 vocal minority that is on twitter that is in media that is in academia that are the loudest and so it
00:23:27.380 seems like they're the ones who you know represent what you know the average black person feels and
00:23:34.300 the only i mean the other thing is that you know a lot of black people even though they are conservatives
00:23:38.860 they've always felt like you know voting democrat is just the way they're supposed to do it and they
00:23:44.440 don't even think twice about it it's just second nature so i think really it's about educating
00:23:49.480 the african-american community that you know you're really voting against your own interests and this
00:23:56.980 is something that president trump started you know in 2016 he he really was somebody on the right
00:24:03.980 who really um you know opened up this new type of outreach to the black community that was meaningful
00:24:13.420 in a way that kind of was able to bring a lot of black voters into the republican party or at least
00:24:20.240 to the conservative side to awaken to the fact that the democrat party doesn't represent
00:24:26.320 the black community at all in fact the democrat party has been a destructive force to the black community
00:24:33.780 yeah i i struggle with naming a political party that's been worse for black people in the western
00:24:40.460 world than the democrats and uh and i can back that up if i need to i also saw a video from
00:24:46.020 pittsburgh their lieutenant governor almost said lieutenant because that's what we say in canada
00:24:50.820 um saying that he's saying that voter fraud isn't an issue it's just all voter ids all about 1.00
00:24:56.940 suppression they're talking about the texas democrats who all left and went to washington that's a big
00:25:02.760 deal for some reason that they all went to vote on this thing but they're all saying especially out of
00:25:07.180 texas is it's such a battleground state with so much um illegal immigration coming in and obviously
00:25:13.820 a lot of these people are voting and and that's a huge battleground topic for them so i want to show
00:25:19.100 you this clip from that's a local news station i think in pittsburgh where this guy's saying that
00:25:23.920 it's not an issue at all can we play that justin lieutenant governor john fetterman says that voter fraud
00:25:28.880 is quote a fiction he talked this morning to the texas house democrats who fled to dc to stop an election bill
00:25:36.020 in their state fetterman has spoken out in the past about voting rights and pennsylvania's 2020
00:25:41.100 election and today he called universal voter id insidious and unnecessary universal id and some
00:25:49.540 of these other measures are a solution for a non-existent problem of voter id excuse me a voter
00:25:56.600 fraud and it's simply voter suppression because they don't want people voting that they believe
00:26:03.660 aren't going to ultimately elect them back in the fall fetterman got into it online with the
00:26:09.280 republican lieutenant governor of texas over accusations of widespread voter fraud in the 2020
00:26:14.520 election now we got lebron james got major league baseball all these people it seems like democrats are
00:26:21.240 always against voter id they basically say it's too hard to vote and i think i'd be a little bit more
00:26:26.860 sympathetic to this guy he was saying of course there's voter fraud but it's not so much of a big deal
00:26:32.280 that we need to change our laws he's saying that it's not an issue at all which i complete i can't
00:26:37.520 get on board with that how do you feel about this idea that asking people for id is is completely just
00:26:44.060 voter suppression it is absolutely insulting in my opinion you know because uh basically what they're
00:26:51.020 saying is black people are too dumb to have an id that's what they're saying and it just goes back to
00:26:56.660 you know the bigotry of low expectation that the democrat party has always had they've always used
00:27:02.400 black people as their human shield to pass whatever laws they want to pass because of poor black people 1.00
00:27:10.000 so we're gonna have to help them you know because they're they're like they're like crippled children 1.00
00:27:14.680 that we have to you know help and it's absolutely ridiculous i come from a country where you know people
00:27:21.660 use they they they vote with their id and most of these people live on a dollar a day you know and
00:27:29.320 if they can get an id then african americans can get an id as well so it's absolutely ridiculous we know 0.53
00:27:35.820 that the reason why they don't want id is so that they they can cheat you know that's that's just
00:27:41.180 basically what it is so it does it bother you when when that's like let's say a white person
00:27:48.620 says that and they think they're coming to your defense when they say you know i mean joe biden
00:27:53.880 says uh older black and mexican people can't use the internet to register uh to get a vaccine so there 0.65
00:28:01.540 is a bigotry blow expectations but does this bother the regular person do you think to be told this is
00:28:07.080 it demoralizing how does it make somebody feel when they say the you're you're basically helpless
00:28:13.700 you can't get an idea even though you probably already have one well for me personally it's very
00:28:19.540 patronizing it's very patronizing and and it's something that you know the the white liberal
00:28:25.580 establishment has has really you know i feel like they have like this white savior white superiority
00:28:32.520 complex where they feel like their life is just to you know be captain with the cape to save every
00:28:41.000 black person out there and that's the lower level people but we know that on the higher level on the
00:28:46.180 higher level these people are not out there to help black people they're out there to use black people
00:28:51.460 as pawns as a means to the their uh agenda and really that's what it's all about you're gonna you're
00:28:59.700 gonna cause a lot of people's heads to explode keep talking like that i wanted to get your opinions
00:29:04.160 on and this is because nobody in canada ever talks about this there's churches in canada
00:29:08.640 they're constantly being set on fire vandalized it's not being covered here by the mainstream media
00:29:13.900 the prime minister has said i think two sentences about it and it seems that americans care more about
00:29:19.360 this stuff and you're a vocal christian personality so i wanted to bring this up with you we have a
00:29:24.460 little montage justin from our website that i wanted to show um let's go ahead and play that and i
00:29:29.620 want to see how you feel about that in less than one month close to 50 churches have been burnt
00:29:35.680 or vandalized in canada and it looks like they're not about to stop but all of a sudden canada looks
00:29:42.800 a lot like the soviet union seem like we're exaggerating a little bit well they're burning
00:29:47.540 catholic and anglican churches in recent days leftist groups are but canada's leaders aren't condemning
00:29:53.060 the burning of churches no they're endorsing the burning of churches oh look at that new one
00:29:58.000 somebody's putting their water out the tower is on fire now maybe the people who do this
00:30:05.260 they should know that we we we have it done before too
00:30:09.600 so you would think that this happened over the course of a year but it's actually been like a month
00:30:19.680 um first of all had you heard about this before uh we played this for you
00:30:24.740 yes i did see that and i hadn't actually i mean i feel bad that i haven't really focused on this
00:30:32.500 issue but this is such a horrible horrible thing that is happening i mean i don't know what is going
00:30:37.380 on in canada but canada is just it's like there's this anti-christ spirit that has risen up over there
00:30:44.660 and it seems like people they don't really fight back against this agenda i i don't understand but maybe
00:30:52.200 you can tell me a little bit about you know the way canadians feel about this but this is absolutely
00:30:57.000 horrifying that this is happening but it just goes to show that really what's happening in my opinion
00:31:03.560 all of it is an attack on christianity and attack on the people of god this is what i've seen because
00:31:09.240 you see even like with the with the covid situation you see that a lot of the things they target is things
00:31:15.240 that have to do with church and so forth but you can see how you know things like strip clubs and
00:31:20.840 bottle stores and you know mega corporations can be open but churches have to be shut down and you
00:31:26.680 have um pastors being arrested you have churches being burnt down i actually met with one of the
00:31:33.560 pastors um the pastor that got arrested and when i was in tampa florida and he was telling me all the
00:31:41.240 stuff that he has had to endure but he said that in spite of all of that he's actually seeing revival
00:31:47.160 in his church so that really gave me hope but just to see how you know um a society that was founded on
00:31:53.960 judeo-christian values i mean the west the west western civilization is built on christianity but you
00:32:01.240 see that there is an agenda by the left to strip western civilization off its christian roots because
00:32:08.200 really that is the foundation of what everything that we stand for as a civilization comes from
00:32:13.960 that's where our laws come from that's where our morality comes from that's where everything um
00:32:19.960 that we believe in as a society whether you're a christian or not comes from those judeo-christian
00:32:25.880 values of loving your neighbor um being kind to one another not stealing from one another thou shall not
00:32:33.640 kill and all these things because these were things that really weren't part of society before western
00:32:40.040 civilization you know a lot of people lived in societies where they were tearing things down and
00:32:46.440 um you know there was no freedom and there was no uh you know good relations between people and so
00:32:53.480 forth so it's really sad to see how they are really attacking there's a there's a deliberate attack
00:33:00.600 on christianity that is taking place in west in the west all over the all over the west well what's
00:33:07.160 what sort of sparked this whole thing was they found a mass uh burial site that was unmarked
00:33:13.000 uh by most accounts even the people there it was just an unmarked you know a grave site but the
00:33:20.040 sort of the tv and news mainstream news narrative here was that this was from
00:33:24.760 the uh the catholic uh schools that brought in all the indigenous the native children and tried to
00:33:31.640 convert them into catholicism of course they weren't they weren't treated well 70 years ago
00:33:37.080 i would be surprised if anyone had a good time at a catholic school in like the 50s frankly um the way
00:33:43.800 the nuns acted but that's sort of it was sort of sparked by saying that this was just like you know a
00:33:49.080 mass grave site where they buried these children in secret turned out it was more so like unmarked
00:33:54.440 graves and of course graves should be respected and not desecrated but it sort of turned into this
00:34:01.080 movement now where i would it appears to be a far left groups going across the country and and setting
00:34:08.600 ablaze or vandalizing a few people have videotaped themselves doing it there's people who've been caught
00:34:13.560 on uh security cameras and it doesn't appear to be what some people thought of maybe natives doing
00:34:19.000 it because some of these are actually on indian reserves the churches and they're still being served
00:34:24.360 as uh churches for the communities there so it would be very confusing if people were burning down
00:34:30.920 essentially their own church and damaging their own reserve and their own properties as a way you know
00:34:35.960 to get back at uh you know a sect of churches that may have been from another province as you can see
00:34:41.960 they're all across the country they're in different places so that's sort of where the the story comes
00:34:46.920 from and you'd have to wonder if the the people in power the federal government at least which is very
00:34:52.360 liberal uh maybe less liberal or more liberal than the democrats i would argue but um they probably don't
00:35:02.200 completely care about protecting uh religious rights because you know there's a loss of religion and a loss
00:35:09.480 of faith completely in that section of politics but that's basically where it comes from and and if
00:35:14.680 you want to look into more that we have the website there um more into that no i see i i wouldn't be
00:35:21.560 surprised if it's the left that are you know tearing and burning things down because if you study history
00:35:27.240 that's what the marxists do you know they're just going to be tearing down churches tearing down 1.00
00:35:32.040 statues burning stuff down and so forth so i i am not surprised i wouldn't be surprised if it's the left and not who
00:35:39.480 the media says is doing it so yeah i don't think biden even would be as silent on this as trudeau is
00:35:46.440 because of how much christianity there is in uh the united states obviously trump wouldn't be silent
00:35:52.840 on this at all there would probably be something put in place but speaking of trump do you think that
00:35:58.040 i was talking to a youtuber yesterday do you think that uh that trump is going to run again for 2024
00:36:04.680 what do you think the possibility is of that well i think he is going to run i think the only reason
00:36:10.200 why he hasn't come out and said it is because of the um is because of the uh the election commission
00:36:17.080 i think they have rules about that but he's made enough of hints for me to believe that he is running
00:36:21.880 i'm just assuming that he is running i don't see any reason why he wouldn't he seems to be already
00:36:27.560 campaigning so i don't doubt that he's running at all who do you think he chooses as a vice president
00:36:33.640 vice president this time around you know i don't know i would say he should pick ron de santis but
00:36:39.880 i i want ron de santis to stay in florida because we need florida to remain free so um he would be a
00:36:47.080 great pick for for vp but i'm not sure who i'm not sure who he would pick but ron de santis i think
00:36:54.600 you also have kanye no i'm just kidding so what's kanye's party the birthday party i believe is kanye
00:36:59.960 kanye has kind of gone sideways so who knows about him i don't i haven't heard from him last
00:37:05.960 thing i heard from him is he's got the girl who's kicked out of the olympics on his uh on his team
00:37:11.640 there for adidas yeah the girl who was banned for smoking weed from the olympics is uh doing an ad
00:37:18.120 campaign with kanye and adidas so that's an interesting play there were you disappointed with
00:37:23.480 anything uh with president trump and how his term ended do you think there's anything he could have
00:37:28.760 done better a lot of people are mad at him uh after the fact of course about how he pushed
00:37:34.040 vaccines about how he gave people false hope that he didn't actually lose and that he wasn't actually
00:37:39.720 going to be taken out of office is there anything that you can look back and say that you hope he
00:37:43.640 does better if he were to win again well yeah i mean a lot of people were disappointed with a lot
00:37:50.200 of things i certainly don't agree with his push for the vaccine um but the way i look at it i you know
00:37:57.640 going back to what i was saying you know it's taken a hundred years for america to get to where
00:38:02.600 it's at today so to to put the blame on president trump that he didn't do enough in the four years
00:38:09.560 that he had to do with you know with with unrelenting attacks on him and his family i think it's unfair
00:38:16.840 to put that on him because this is something that has taken a hundred years and the reason why it's
00:38:22.040 happened this way is because christians and conservatives did nothing for the last hundred
00:38:26.600 years you know it's been it's been apathy nobody's been doing anything and then trump comes in
00:38:33.000 you know with boldness and stands up to a lot of this stuff and does the best that he could in the
00:38:38.280 four years that he had and everybody all of a sudden expects that he should have done more in the four
00:38:43.720 years uh you know more to dismantle all of this you know this is something that may take decades to
00:38:49.640 dismantle because this is something that you know this is a plan that has been in motion by the left
00:38:55.080 for the last hundred years so it's not something that's going to happen overnight so i think we need
00:38:59.720 to have grace for him um i think we need to appreciate all the stuff that he was able to accomplish
00:39:05.960 because he did do a lot despite having unrelenting attacks against him so i just try to keep a positive
00:39:13.480 view of president trump and just um you know just be grateful for the little that he was
00:39:18.840 you know i i don't think it's a little but you know for the stuff that he was able to achieve and
00:39:22.840 if anything one of his greatest accomplishments was waking people up you know just having him as
00:39:28.920 president you know has um caused the left to basically take their mask off because their power
00:39:36.440 before this was the fact that they were able to do this in a stealth way in a way that was very
00:39:42.040 undetectable but in their desperation to get rid of trump you know they took away the mask they threw it off
00:39:48.840 and now we know the media is completely fake you know everybody can see it now because they were
00:39:53.640 forced to be openly biased and um you know downright um fraudulent in our faces so you know so that that's
00:40:05.400 a good thing that has happened because it has caused people to see really what we're up against because
00:40:10.280 the first step to fighting something is knowing what you're up against and we never would have known
00:40:15.480 all these things unless president trump was in there to shake things up and actually reveal what
00:40:23.160 was you know simmering at the bottom you know all the evil that that we're facing right now yeah i think
00:40:30.760 it's definitely true about the border about gun issues about abortion even about voting uh in the
00:40:37.000 veracity of of the the voting system in the united states i want to thank you for coming on melissa i had
00:40:42.360 a great time talking with you anything else you want to say before we let you go well i just wanted to
00:40:48.200 say that i'm actually i'm going to be starting a new show uh called reality check and uh really what
00:40:54.840 i'm going to be trying to focus on is not only educating people but motivating people to become
00:40:59.880 activated because i feel like you know we're talking a lot about the issues and the problems
00:41:04.760 but there aren't too many uh people who are talking about the solutions and how people can
00:41:09.560 get motivated and activated in their own communities on a local level and their school
00:41:15.320 boards and all these things so i'm going to be starting that show and it's uh it's called reality
00:41:21.160 check and if you're interested in in um hearing when it's going to start you can just text the word
00:41:27.160 reality to five three four four five thanks a lot melissa the book is choice privilege you can find
00:41:35.560 it on amazon or us or on her website of course follow her on twitter half a million people on
00:41:40.120 there no joke at all thanks a lot melissa have a great day okay thank you so much for having me
