00:00:09.000Until we teach our children that we have to jettison this silly, ignorant ideology, that I can only feel good about myself.
00:00:19.000If I'm loved by white America, and I can only be protected or affirmed if I'm protected and affirmed by my government, we will never go any further.
00:00:28.000If we can ever get that sizable chunk, about 15% of the black vote, away from the Democratic Party, we'll take them down forever.
00:00:36.000And I believe that black men are not going to go back to Ms.
00:00:39.000Harris. Vince Everett Ellison is a political commentator, author, and documentarian on the intersection of American politics, race, and religion.

00:01:33.000As we navigate one of the most contentious election seasons of our lifetime, you won't want to miss Vince Everett Ellison's analysis of Democratic Party politics.
00:01:40.000to his credit. These girls, they came, they shared their opinions, they shared their thoughts.
00:01:45.000And it's like Isaac said, I do this for a living. I express my opinion for a living.
00:01:49.000I think it was more casual for them. But I appreciate it coming on. I thought it was a good conversation. And it's good to flesh out the topics. I think they represent what everybody thinks about the issues. I think in that way, it was balanced. I represent kind of the opposite view.
00:01:52.000Really appreciate it. Man, it is my pleasure.
00:01:54.000I've been watching you for years, and I am a fan.
00:01:56.000Hey, thank you so much. So why don't we start with, obviously, the hot topic.
00:02:01.000The Democrats offed their old candidate, Joe Biden.
00:02:04.000They have replaced him with their brand new, joyous, wondrous, incredible, light-bringer candidate, Kamala Harris, running against Donald Trump.
00:02:06.000And I'm really not trying to score slam dunks and say, oh, well, I got you in my trap. I'm trying to get people to think about a totally different way of thinking in the sense that you could see so much of the talk is, well, everyone should vote.
00:02:13.000What do you make of Kamala Harris the candidate?
00:02:17.000Kamala Harris has been an opportunist a whole life.
00:02:20.000You know, she was Willie Brown's side piece when she was in San Francisco, running around with Montel Williams, and she was going to get into San Francisco politics.
00:02:21.000Everyone has rights. Women have rights.
00:02:23.000Everybody has these unexamined assumptions about how the world is and how it should be.
00:02:32.000And then after that, she played Indian to get the Indian vote.
00:02:35.000Then she made sure that she married a man that obviously had money to make sure that she could get the Jewish vote.
00:02:44.000And then after that, she played black to get the black vote.
00:02:46.000So Kamala Harris would do whatever she needs to do to get power.
00:02:49.000I always knew that once she became vice president that Joe Biden needed to watch his back because she was going to stand a minute sooner or later.
00:02:56.000I mean, I watched him when she ran in the primary and she didn't make it to Iowa, but she got a plan.
00:03:03.000So Kamala got Joe Biden to get 100 Black men to write him a letter telling him that if he did not choose a Black woman for his vice presidency, they were going to deep-six his campaign.
00:03:16.000So she got P. Diddy, Akon, a bunch of thugs and rappers and greasy preachers to write him a letter.
00:03:42.000to his credit. These girls, they came, they shared their opinions, they shared their thoughts.
00:03:47.000And it's like Isaac said, I do this for a living. I express my opinion for a living.

00:04:47.000Everyone has rights. Women have rights.
00:04:50.000Everybody has these unexamined assumptions about how the to his credit. These girls, they came, they shared their opinions, they shared their thoughts.
00:04:58.000And it's like Isaac said, I do this for a living. I express my opinion for a living.
00:05:02.000I think it was more casual for them. But I appreciate it coming on. I thought it was a good conversation. And it's good to flesh out the topics. I think they represent what everybody thinks about the issues. I think in that way, it was balanced. I represent kind of the opposite view.
00:05:19.000And I'm really not trying to score slam dunks and say, oh, well, I got you in my trap. I'm trying to get people to think about a totally different way of thinking in the sense that you could see so much of the talk is, well, everyone should vote.
00:05:25.000I mean, I'm used to this question being asked about Jews.
00:05:27.000And my usual answer is, well, because most Jews are not religious, right?
00:05:30.000Judaism is a religion. It's not just an ethnicity.
00:05:32.000And so you're talking, when it comes to Jews, about a very largely secular, atheistic population that has high income and lives in blue areas.
00:05:33.000Everyone has rights. Women have rights.
00:05:36.000Everybody has these unexamined assumptions about how the world is and how it should be.
00:05:39.000You just described kind of a typical Democratic voter.
00:05:41.000When it comes to black voters, however, this has been sort of a puzzle for a lot of Republican politicos.
00:05:46.000Why is it That the black vote goes so heavy for Democrats these days, despite the failure of Democrats in every major American city in the country.
00:05:53.000It's called into the distance of Stockholm Syndrome.
00:05:55.000You have to take it all the way back to slavery and to the Jim Crow era.
00:05:59.000I was born on a cotton plantation in Hayward County, Tennessee.
00:06:45.000I started a nonprofit. I went into the black community, and when I got into the ghettos, I saw something very, very interesting.
00:06:51.000I saw no evil rich white Republicans anywhere.
00:06:53.000You see a unicorn or a leprechaun before you saw one.
00:06:56.000But what I did see were a lot of black Democrats making a lot of money off of the chaos.
00:07:01.000And I wrote my first book about these black Democrats, and I called them the Iron Triangle.
00:07:06.000They were most black preachers, most black politicians, and most black civil rights workers.
00:07:12.000Their job was to be conduits between rich white liberals and the poor Black community, and their job was to make sure that these Black people voted for the Democratic Party by hook or by crook.
00:07:23.000It was a play on the old plantation system, where the House Negroes were in charge of the field hands, and they were conduits between the master in the big house and the field hands in the field.
00:07:33.000So after the Civil War, of course, we had this little period called Reconstruction.
00:07:37.000For a little while, Black people voted for The Republican Party.
00:07:43.000But by the election of 1876, the Children Hayes election, the whole South went Democrat.
00:07:52.000They had the Mississippi and the South Carolina plan that talked about intimidating Black people, paying Black people, killing Black people, and buying the Black vote.
00:08:04.000And the Black slaves who had previously voted Republican somehow or another reverted back to the Democratic Party in the election of 1876.
00:08:12.000They made the compromise, as you know.
00:08:15.000The Republican Hays took the South when South Carolina decided they would give him their Electoral College votes if he pulled the Union troops out of the South.
00:08:25.000And after that, the Democratic Party went gangbusters on the Black community.
00:08:41.000If your father or your mother even heard that you were a Republican, they would beat the hell out of you themselves.
00:08:47.000So it got to a point where Stockholm Syndrome and cognitive dissonance took place in the Black community.
00:08:53.000It became an explanation, not a condemnation.
00:08:56.000It's just how it was. And after that time, they put their black placekeepers in charge, the black preacher, the black politician, and the black civil rights workers, and told them, your job is to keep the black people exactly where they're supposed to be.
00:09:09.000Lie to them, rob them, use social pressure, do whatever you need to do.
00:09:15.000So when my grandfather, Walter Clark, got the right to vote in 1960, even though Richard Nixon and Eisenhower And made it possible through the 1957 Civil Rights Act and the 1960 Civil Rights Act.
00:09:28.000When he voted, his first vote was for the Democratic Party.
00:09:32.000Even though the Democratic Party and the Ku Klux Klan had put him off the cotton plantation he was living on, when he registered to vote, he still voted for them.
00:10:01.000We weren't fighting to separate from white Democrats and the Ku Klux Klan.
00:10:07.000Martin Luther King and his boys were fighting to integrate with them.
00:10:11.000We were the first race of people in the history of the world to fight to integrate with our former masters.
00:10:17.000Even the Jewish people after the Holocaust said, we're getting the hell out of Germany.
00:10:21.000We don't want to integrate with these Nazis.
00:10:23.000It would have been the equivalent of after the Holocaust, the Jewish people in Germany said, well, now we want to integrate with the Nazis and let them educate our children.
00:10:40.000to his credit. These girls, they came, they shared their opinions, they shared their thoughts.
00:10:45.000And it's like Isaac said, I do this for a living. I express my opinion for a living.
00:10:49.000I think it was more casual for them. But I appreciate it coming on. I thought it was a good conversation. And it's good to flesh out the topics. I think they represent what everybody thinks about the issues. I think in that way, it was balanced. I represent kind of the opposite view.
00:11:06.000And I'm really not trying to score slam dunks and say, oh, well, I got you in my trap. I'm trying to get people to think about a totally different way of thinking in the sense that you could see so much of the talk is, well, everyone should vote.
00:11:06.000There are different types of black churches, obviously.
00:11:08.000But let's go through each one of those pieces and tell me about why you think they've been doing what they've been doing.
00:11:46.000It was a lie. This Christianity was passed on to the black slave.
00:11:50.000And he kept it. And one of the things that the black slave believed, I remember as a boy being growing up in the South, and I hear my black preacher preach to us about the curse of Ham.
00:12:00.000That we were black because we were cursed, and that we were supposed to be slaves under the tuile of the white man.
00:12:06.000And this was preached, and the southern black churches were subjected to it.
00:12:12.000And the black preacher, in many respects, was chosen by the white establishment, and he was put in place by them, and he was told, your job, and you will keep your money as long as you keep these black people under us.
00:12:25.000And that became The whole concept of the black clergy down south for generations.
00:12:32.000Then you have the black civil rights workers.
00:12:36.000As you know, the NAACP was started by eight white people and one black person who was W.B. Du Bois, and he was a communist.
00:12:44.000Their job, they had a vested interest in keeping black people under control, especially for when they did vote, to vote for the Democratic Party and vote for all of these crazy liberal causes.
00:12:55.000And they expanded into the big six, you know, the core, Urban League, all of these guys.
00:13:00.000And they were all controlled by rich white liberals also.
00:13:02.000And then, of course, out of that came the black politician.
00:13:06.000And when he became a Democrat, he became a company man.
00:13:09.000His job was to make sure that he made black people vote for the Democratic Party.
00:13:12.000Because ever since slavery, the Democratic Party could only survive with the support of the Black community.
00:13:20.000Whether it be slavery, whether it was their labor, whether it was just the fact that you made white supremacy possible to make me feel good about myself.
00:13:29.000They needed Black people either for exploitation or for entertainment.
00:13:40.000They know us better than we know ourselves.
00:13:42.000They manipulate us better than we don't even know that we're being manipulated.
00:13:45.000So the Iron Triangle, my first book, blew the lid off of this.
00:13:50.000And the way we change it, one of the reasons I love school choice so much is that it gives you an opportunity to pull these children out of these government schools who also expand this ideology in the Black community.
00:14:05.000If we can get them back to The community concepts of free markets, of their basic religion, of understanding competition, understanding unalienable rights, understanding that our rights come from God, not from government. That the whole concept of America is based upon what John Locke talked about, the unalienable rights that we have.
00:14:30.000Rights that are irrevocable, non-transferable, and unsellable, that government cannot touch.
00:14:36.000That you do not go ask government for your unalienable rights.
00:14:39.000You defy government to come and take them.
00:14:42.000And this is why I have such a difficult time with Martin Luther King Jr.
00:14:44.000and the Civil Rights Movement. They told Black America that you have to go to government for your rights.
00:14:50.000You have to go to government for protection.
00:14:52.000Everything he said was an anathema, an anathema to what we are supposed to believe as free Americans.
00:14:59.000And until we teach our children that we have to jettison This silly, ignorant ideology that I can only feel good about myself if I'm loved by white America and I can only be protected or affirmed if I'm protected and affirmed by my government.
00:15:34.000The fact that if we can ever get that sizable chunk, about 15% of the Black vote, away from the Democratic Party, we'll take them down forever.
00:15:43.000And I believe that Black men are not going to go back to Ms.
00:15:46.000Harris. I think that as they see that she locked up more Black men in California than Robert E. Lee and Jeff Davis combined, that she is an apostate, that she believes that you should castrate little boys and call them little girls.
00:16:02.000Give double mastectomies to little girls and call them little boys.
00:16:05.000That she believes in nine-month abortion.
00:16:07.000That she believes in taking away your right to keep and bear arms.
00:16:10.000And that she believes in allowing these people to come in and just infiltrate your neighborhoods, take away your space, take away your schools, take away making rents go high, taking jobs away.
00:16:24.000As this is highlighted, you'll start seeing more and more black men turn away from her, and that's going to be Hercules' heel.
00:16:31.000We'll get to more of Vince in just a moment.
00:16:32.000First, there are 8 million renters in America who are not only qualified to own a home, but could be saving 30% monthly on their rent simply by owning instead.
00:16:39.000Smart people know the path to wealth is through real estate.
00:16:42.000This is where Churchill Mortgage comes in.

00:17:04.000You'll answer a few simple questions so they can connect you with a home loan specialist in your neighborhood.
00:17:08.000to his credit. These girls, they came, they shared their opinions, they shared their thoughts.
00:17:13.000And it's like Isaac said, I do this for a living. I express my opinion for a living.
00:17:17.000I think it was more casual for them. But I appreciate it coming on. I thought it was a good conversation. And it's good to flesh out the topics. I think they represent what everybody thinks about the issues. I think in that way, it was balanced. I represent kind of the opposite view.
00:17:34.000And I'm really not trying to score slam dunks and say, oh, well, I got you in my trap. I'm trying to get people to think about a totally different way of thinking in the sense that you could see so much of the talk is, well, everyone should vote.
00:17:46.000One of the things that you mentioned there that's really fascinating, and it's true statistically, is you are seeing a divergence between how black women vote and how black men vote.
00:17:48.000Everyone has rights. Women have rights.
00:17:51.000Everybody has these unexamined assumptions about how the world is and how it should be.
00:17:53.000And that's mirrored across the political spectrum, actually.
00:17:55.000You are seeing a major divergence now between how women, not married women, married women tend to vote like married men, which tends to be Republican, but single women and single men are voting very differently.
00:18:05.000And that is particularly true in the black community, where black women are voting in extraordinary numbers for Democrats, and black men are voting a little bit less so for Democrats.
00:18:14.000Why do you think that gender gap is now emerging?
00:18:17.000Yeah, you have a lot of black men who are alpha males.
00:18:20.000And, you know, you've seen the culture.
00:18:22.000They walk around, they swaggering, and they're talking trash.
00:18:25.000They talk about how many junkers they had shot and how many women they got.
00:18:28.000But there's an alpha maleness in these men where in the black community, the worst thing you could call somebody is effeminate or gay.
00:18:38.000And they have found through social media, through shows like yours and shows like mine, that the Democratic Party supports all of this.
00:18:47.000They see that the Democratic Party is about destroying the family, that they have set up a system that is basically trying to castrate men.
00:18:55.000They see that they are using the public educational system to sexualize their children.
00:18:59.000They now understand about Drag Queen Story Hour, that they have set up a public educational system that sets their sons in front of men.
00:19:07.000And shake their asses in their son's faces.
00:19:10.000They see that the Democratic Party set up a system called Obamacare, where if your son wants to be transitioned, they'll pay for it.
00:19:17.000You see Tim Walz up in the state of Minnesota.
00:19:19.000That's made his state a sanctuary state.
00:19:21.000That if your child wants a sex chain operation, that if they can get up to Minnesota, he'll give them protection and he'll pay for it.
00:19:27.000They're seeing that the Democratic Party wants to take away your right.
00:19:53.000The party of slavery from 1800 to 1860.
00:19:56.000The party of the Confederacy from 1800 to 1865.
00:19:59.000The party of Jim Crow from 1865 to 1965.
00:20:03.000Now the party of transgenderism, abortion to the ninth month, open borders, disarmed American citizens, atheism, or Kabbalah, liars, psychopaths, and anti-Christian bigots.
00:20:19.000They're walking around with men with skirts and dresses on, men that talk about, you know, it's great to transition and to castrate yourself.
00:20:29.000They're hearing it, and they're seeing it, and they're responding to it.
00:20:34.000And the more they hear it, the more black men will leave that party.
00:20:38.000So you've obviously been a very vocal supporter of President Trump.
00:20:41.000You've called him the first black president, actually, not Barack Obama.
00:20:47.000Where are you coming from when you say something like that?
00:20:49.000Obviously meant to provoke, but what do you mean by that?
00:20:51.000Well, President Trump, well, for the last 200 years, The Democratic Party, not the Republican Party, not the Labor Party, not the Know-Nothings or the Whigs.
00:21:02.000The Democratic Party has been the party that has locked up like men, put charges on them, hung them from trees, locked them up for just trumped up reasons.
00:21:17.000We saw the civil rights movement, how it was assassinated because of what the Democratic Party was doing to black men down south.
00:21:24.000We've seen the pictures of the lynchings.
00:21:26.000We've heard the stories of people planting evidence and locking these men up for no reason whatsoever.
00:21:31.000We saw the movie Hurricane with Denzel Washington, and there are just numerous, numerous stories of how black men have been set up by the Democratic Party to spend years and years in prison on charges that were trumped up, and they were lies.
00:22:15.000So when you come down to the Black experience, within the last four or five years, Donald Trump has experienced it on a level that no other president has ever experienced it.
00:22:27.000And as you and I know, being Black or being ethnic has nothing to do with the color of one skin.
00:22:33.000It has to do with your life experiences.
00:22:35.000It has to do with the things you believe.
00:22:37.000It has to do with your mores and your values.
00:22:39.000And Donald Trump seems to me The Obamas made their appearance.
00:22:51.000This is on night two of the Democratic National Convention.
00:22:55.000And her speech, I thought, was truly egregious.
00:22:58.000I thought it was actually the most egregious speech at the convention.
00:23:00.000It was significantly worse than Barack Obama.
00:23:01.000Barack Obama is a grifter and he's a con man, but he's really good at it.
00:23:06.000to his credit. These girls, they came, they shared their opinions, they shared their thoughts.
00:23:11.000And it's like Isaac said, I do this for a living. I express my opinion for a living.
00:23:15.000I think it was more casual for them. But I appreciate it coming on. I thought it was a good conversation. And it's good to flesh out the topics. I think they represent what everybody thinks about the issues. I think in that way, it was balanced. I represent kind of the opposite view.
00:23:32.000And I'm really not trying to score slam dunks and say, oh, well, I got you in my trap. I'm trying to get people to think about a totally different way of thinking in the sense that you could see so much of the talk is, well, everyone should vote.
00:23:39.000What did you make of that particular narrative?
00:23:41.000Because the hypocrisy is so glaring, but it seems to be ignored by a huge percentage of America and particularly in the black community.
00:23:46.000Everyone has rights. Women have rights.
00:25:02.000But when you look at people who are leaders, when you look at people thinking they're better than you, they're going to always look at you and say, you are a victim.
00:27:38.000That's why I've decked out my entire bed with bull and branch.

00:27:50.000I think it was more casual for them. But I appreciate it coming on. I thought it was a good conversation. And it's good to flesh out the topics. I think they represent what everybody thinks about the issues. I think in that way, it was balanced. I represent kind of the opposite view.

00:28:31.000So you mentioned earlier your upbringing, the fact that your father was a sharecropper, and your family is wildly successful.
00:28:37.000Obviously, you have a brother who is the CEO of Lowe's.
00:28:42.000You're very successful in your own right.
00:28:44.000Maybe you can tell more about sort of your family progression, how you get there, because I think that One of the lies the Democratic Party tells is exactly what you're talking about.
00:28:53.000They say to everyone, not just black men, but particularly black men, that you can't succeed in America, that the systemic obstacles are just too great.
00:29:01.000It's something, again, Michelle Obama suggested at the convention.
00:29:04.000She said that she doesn't believe in the affirmative action of inherited wealth, but she does believe in other forms of affirmative action, obviously.
00:29:10.000There is no quote-unquote affirmative action to inherited wealth, only in the sense that, yeah, you're better off than if you hadn't inherited wealth.
00:29:16.000But I know plenty of people who inherited wealth and blew it.
00:29:18.000I know many, many more people who did not inherit wealth and now are extraordinarily wealthy.
00:29:23.000The reality is that, as you say, we've all been born into the most privileged time in human history, in the greatest country in the history of the world.
00:29:31.000And if you happen to be born into a good family, that is the ultimate privilege.
00:29:34.000No one ever talks about that because that's a privilege you yourself can create in your everyday life.
00:29:38.000But I think that your family story is really interesting and a really good sort of indicator for folks who believe that they can't make it, that, you know, actually with the right principles, you can.
00:29:47.000You can. Ben, we were balled up in the Jim Crow South in Haywood County, Tennessee, in the Delta.
00:29:55.000Haywood County is one of the poorest places in America.
00:29:59.000We got a public school education, and we weren't these brainiacs in school that graduated in our classes.
00:30:08.000The one thing that our father taught us, it was that you control what happens to you.
00:30:16.000You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control how you respond to it.
00:30:22.000He taught us to never believe in racism.
00:30:25.000He said that you have good and bad people.
00:30:27.000Conor had nothing to do with it. So you'll find good black people, you'll find good white people, you'll find bad black people, you'll find bad white people.
00:30:33.000What you do is you make sure that you get good people around you and keep good people around you.
00:30:39.000But he also taught us, and it was strange that we did not grow up with an inferiority complex because of him and my mother.
00:30:47.000My father and my mother were just two very attractive people.
00:30:51.000And they carried themselves in this regal way where they were always respected.
00:30:56.000It was something that happened last year that really just blew my mind.
00:31:01.000I was reading a piece in Stand Point magazine by Martin Luther King Jr.
00:31:05.000written by David Garrow. And at the end of that piece, he talked about how the FBI, how thorough they were in their investigations, and he talked about how they took down the Klan.
00:31:14.000And he said that the Tennessee Klan was the most violent Klan in the nation.
00:31:19.000And then he said that the Grand Wizard of the Tennessee clan, his name was Doyle Ellington, lived in Brownsville, Tennessee, where I was living, where I was born.
00:31:28.000He said, Doyle Ellington is still alive today, and he had a Facebook page.
00:32:45.000And I've just naturally led my life like that my whole life.
00:32:48.000Me and my brother, my sisters, my brother, all of us.
00:32:50.000And we've been quite successful in America because there's a human element involved in that.
00:32:55.000It's a human element that you will always respect men and women that carry themselves in a regal and respectful way.
00:33:03.000Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is talking about he was dreaming about a day that you'll be judged not by the color of your skin but by the content of your character.
00:33:09.000You will be judged by the content of your character.
00:33:56.000You know, those lessons, I really think, can only be implemented by a father.
00:34:00.000And this, of course, is one of the critical problems in the black community.
00:34:04.000It's a problem across America, too, actually now, is the radical rise of single mother homes.
00:34:09.000The fact that there are not enough men in the families The single motherhood rate in the black community is now upward of 70%.
00:34:16.000In the white community, it is upward of 40%.
00:34:18.000If you go back to 1960, which was clearly a time of more racial oppression, the single motherhood rate in the black community was 20%, and the white community was 5%.
00:34:28.000So apparently the oppression went away, and the result of that was that fathers are no longer in the home.
00:34:32.000The only rationale for that really is that the government came in and said, as you say, that the solution is not to free people of the oppressive burdens that are keeping them down.
00:34:41.000The solution is for the government to be your father.
00:34:44.000And it turns out that the government is not capable of being your father.
00:34:46.000The government is a terrible father. You know about the Patrick Moynihan Report in 1965, when Moynihan told Lyndon Johnson that we have to get the black man back at the head of the family because we're showing that because of welfare, black men are employed, but they're not getting married because women are getting on welfare and they don't need to get married.
00:35:11.000And if you read David Garrow's book, Bury the Cross, he talked about this Moynihan report, and he talked about when Moynihan bought it to LBJ, and LBJ said, good idea, let's do it.
00:35:24.000But he said, you got to go to the civil rights community first and get them to sign off on it.
00:35:29.000McGeorge Bundy, who was on the Ford Foundation at the time, was sponsoring a retreat for Martin Luther King Jr., And a bunch of pastors and a bunch of civil rights workers.
00:35:38.000And he said, hey, Patrick, go with me to this retreat, and you can show Dr.
00:35:44.000King and the rest of the people this great report that you've done, and we can get them to sign off on it.
00:36:00.000And they said that instead of using that money to put the black man back in charge of his family, they wanted to use the money to put the black woman in charge of the family.
00:36:09.000And they went to LBJ and lobbied for the man-in-house clause to be put in welfare.
00:36:17.000that demanded this, that the man-in-house clause be put in welfare.
00:36:21.000And LBJ did it, and in one generation, The black community went from, like you said, having 80% of their children being born in two parents' families to 80% being born out of wedlock.
00:36:32.000Martin Luther King Jr. was the first recipient of the Margaret Sanger Award in 1966 for helping her set up abortion clinics in the black community.
00:36:41.000Yeah, he got the Margaret Sanger Award and had his wife go and do a great speech that he had wrote, accepting the award, and it's still on display right now.
00:36:51.000King Was actually kicked out of the black church in 1961 out of the National Baptist Convention because he tried to take over the convention in Kansas City to use the 10 million member National Baptist Convention for the Civil Rights Movement.
00:37:07.000And they started to fight on the floor.
00:37:43.000And the one thing that really knocked me for a loop was when I found out this year from a lot of writings from Virgil Walker and John MacArthur, they even say that Martin Luther King Jr.
00:37:52.000was not a Christian. He said he was a Baptist minister, he said he was a Christian minister, but in his writings at Stanford University, King says in his own writings he didn't believe in the deity of Christ, He didn't believe in the resurrection.
00:38:08.000He didn't believe in the virgin birth.
00:38:10.000And you can't believe in any of these and not be a Christian.
00:38:13.000So we've been sold a bill of goods that we've been following a Marxist who would set up a Marxist construct in the black community.
00:38:22.000And in 1956, Taylor Branch wrote in his book, Parting the Water, America and the King Years, he said in 1956 that the common term Send a directive to their communists in the civil rights movement to turn the black community into a replica of the Soviet Union.
00:38:39.000And that's exactly where we are right now.
00:38:42.000One party, a rule, dictator worship, atheism, poverty, substance abuse.
00:38:49.000They've done exactly what they wanted to do.
00:38:52.000They've taken us and they've reversed the whole civil war and put us right back on the Democrat Party plantation.
00:39:01.000And that's why what you're doing today with me and having given me this platform is so important that many people don't know this.
00:39:09.000Many people haven't put all of the pieces together.
00:39:13.000And through my books, from the Iron Triangle, the 25 Lies, the Crime Meek, and now to the end of tolerance, I've explained this.
00:39:21.000And in my great documentary, Will You Go to Hell for Me?, I put it down.
00:39:50.000The war in Israel continues to rage on today.
00:39:52.000Earlier this month, Iran launched a massive barrage of nearly 200 ballistic missiles at the Holy Land.
00:39:58.000This isn't just another conflict in the Middle East.
00:39:59.000Israel and its people are facing attacks from enemies on all sides who seek its annihilation.
00:40:04.000But there's hope. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right now, providing food, shelter and safety to those in need during this crisis.
00:40:10.000Since the war started, thousands of reservists, everyday Israeli citizens, have left their families to serve their country.
00:40:15.000Soldiers who have been injured and their families need our support.
00:40:18.000Your gift of $45 today helps the fellowship provide food and other necessities to these families to help them survive.
00:40:24.000Here's what I need you to do right now.
00:40:48.000Tolerance is obviously promoted by the Democratic Party as not just a virtue, but maybe the only virtue.
00:40:53.000Obviously, the Democratic Party is not tolerant of everybody.
00:40:55.000If you are a traditional Bible believer, they're not particularly tolerant.
00:40:59.000If you believe in free markets, they're not particularly tolerant.
00:41:02.000If you believe in traditional gender roles and that boys should remain boys as opposed to being girls, then they're not particularly tolerant.
00:41:08.000In The End of Tolerance, you talk about how tolerance itself There's no moral content to it.
00:41:42.000They're trying to silence us on Twitter.
00:41:45.000They're trying to silence us on YouTube.
00:41:48.000They're trying to silence us in the public square.
00:41:49.000I saw that great testimony you gave before Congress.
00:41:51.000Where they have these advertisers that are telling people, you know, telling folks, don't advertise to these companies if they don't meet our certain liberal standard.
00:42:03.000Masterful, man. I got to give you, I was wishing right now to give you a heart at this point.
00:42:07.000Very good. But you brought attention to it.
00:42:10.000And I believe that sunlight is the greatest disinfectant.
00:42:13.000You have to let people understand this because many people, they may tolerance a virtue.
00:42:18.000And when I started the book with a sermon from the great Reverend Billy Graham that says tolerance is a sin, I go through the book and I read how the Bible says tolerance is a sin.
00:42:30.000I show how us tolerating and how they've used our tolerance to say this is goodness and how we've allowed LGBTQ to come into a point now where they sexualize our children.
00:42:40.000How we've allowed the drugs in our communities, how we've allowed family breakdown, how we've allowed pornography in our communities, and how it is just destroying us, and how now it's time for men to push back.
00:42:55.000I love the fact, man, that you talk a lot about masculinity, that it's not toxic, that we need men to lead families.
00:43:02.000We need men to go back into the heads of our family and to lead our communities.
00:43:36.000And I don't know how people see Vladimir Putin, but Putin has a legitimate beef when he says that these satanic Western values are destroying America and it's going to destroy my nation if we allow it to keep percolating over here.
00:43:53.000And a lot of what's going on over there right now with the war and with the anger and all the—there's a fight between East Germany—I mean, Eastern Europe and Western Europe, and these Western values and these Christian values that are in Eastern Europe.
00:44:10.000And the sad thing is that America, the country that used to—we used to push these Christian values of democracy and virtue, and instead of the left saying, We need to stop this, y'all, and we evaluate what we're doing.
00:44:53.000And we have to just keep going, hitting them, hitting them, and hitting them, and hitting them until we break them in half.
00:44:58.000You know, you can see it at the DNC. The DNC was literally providing abortions in the parking lot.
00:45:02.000Vasectomies and abortions at the parking lot at an 18-foot idol of an IUD, which is a very weird idol to choose, except if you actually believe that pregeneration is actually a bad thing.
00:45:12.000And when you talk about America's foreign policy, the thing is that a muscular American foreign policy, in my view, has always been a good thing because it's promoting particular values.
00:45:20.000And those particular values... Our Christian orientation, Judeo-Christian orientation, things like private property, things like limited government that enhance the rights of human beings to religiously worship.
00:45:32.000These were all things that were baked into the foundations of the country.
00:45:35.000When we were fighting fascism in Europe, We weren't fighting to implant a gay pride flag in Berlin.
00:45:40.000That was not what we were fighting for.
00:45:42.000And yet what you see now is mandates from the State Department that we're to fly a rainbow flag or a Pride Progress flag outside the Vatican.
00:45:49.000We won't do it, you know, in the Gaza Strip, obviously, because that might offend all of the Hamasniks that the Democratic Party is trying to cater to.
00:45:56.000But it's a very selective group of values that are now being pressed forward by this particular White House and by the administrations that have been democratic.
00:46:07.000It also opens the door, I think, to, frankly, what is a bit of a—it's a correct critique, but I think it's a cynical play by people like Vladimir Putin.
00:46:16.000So when Vladimir Putin says, you know, you guys are trying to spread LGBT values in Russia, he's not wrong.
00:46:21.000That is a true thing that the United States has been doing all over the world, treating it You're exactly right.
00:46:50.000They've afforded him the ability to do that.
00:46:54.000Because I was reading in my book, they had this guy from the Russian Orthodox Church, I can't come up with his name now, but it's in my book, where he said that one of the things that the EU asked for in order for you to become part of the EU, they say that you must have a gay pride parade in your nation's capital.
00:47:16.000And that if you don't do that, they will treat you like an alien.
00:47:20.000And he said that they had to have this thing done in Kiev than they wanted it done in the Donbass region.
00:47:25.000And the people kind of rebelled against it.
00:47:27.000And this was their reason, like you said.
00:47:30.000This is the reason that he used, one of the reasons to do what he did.
00:47:34.000And we're affording them this because when you look at America and you see a whole month designed for guys walking around in leather booty shorts, taking their asses in the street, talking about pride, When in Judeo-Christian values, the one thing that God hates is what, man?
00:48:28.000But when you are filled with pride, it puts a barrier between you and reconciliation with the person that you've wronged.
00:48:37.000And this is the danger of the whole pride movement.
00:48:40.000It's one of your sons stealing your car, spending all your money, then coming back on the weekend to the house, putting his feet up on the furniture, acting like nothing's happening.
00:48:50.000You're going to look at him and say, don't you have something to say?
00:51:02.000They can sweat, they can fight, and they can riot.
00:51:05.000Until they start loving themselves and start taking responsibility for their own actions, they're going to remain at the bottom.
00:51:12.000And that's for everybody that believes that sick ideology.
00:51:15.000When you talk about tolerance, the thing that Judeo-Christian values teach with regard to tolerance is that, obviously, you have to have grace for sinners, but you never have grace for the sin.
00:51:24.000There's this bizarre mindset in the United States and in the West generally, which is that not only do you have to have grace for people who sin, but the sinner gets to now set the new standard, is unprecedented.
00:51:36.000I mean, you cannot have a system of rules where the people who violate the rules Are not treated as people we should, again, have tolerance and grace for, but are the people who get to set the new standard themselves.
00:51:48.000And the more you violate the standard, the better off you are.
00:51:51.000The more intersectional you are, the more you have been victimized by society.
00:51:54.000And that really goes to a sense of self-definition that I think so much of the West has bought into.
00:51:59.000If you're a religious person, if you're a traditional person in any sense, the way that you believe that you are defined as a human being, You were born into a system that predates you, and you owe something to the people who eventually you are going to have to raise.
00:52:10.000You owe something to the future, and you owe a lot to the past.
00:52:12.000And if you are in modern society, you're apparently born in the middle of nowhere.
00:52:16.000You get to set standards for yourself.
00:52:18.000And in fact, any other institution, any rules are an imposition on you as a human being.
00:52:23.000And so the most free you could be, the most you, the most authentic you could be, is by blowing up all the rules around you.
00:52:29.000And so the more violative you are, the more transgressive you are, The stronger and better you are.
00:52:33.000But that, of course, is not true because that's not how reality works.
00:52:36.000It turns out that the rules that were set by your ancestors and that you're supposed to pass on to your kids, those are rules for the road.
00:52:42.000It's as though you're handed a driver's manual by your parents about how to drive this car.
00:52:47.000And instead of doing that, you just tossed it out the window.
00:52:49.000You have no idea how anything in the car works.
00:52:51.000But you now declare that anytime you hit a button and it doesn't do what you want it to do, the car has somehow failed.
00:52:58.000And then you just start taking a bat to the car.
00:53:29.000They know that when you abort a child up to the ninth month, that child is alive.
00:53:33.000They know that when they voted against the Stay Alive Bill, that a baby that survives an abortion and you lay them on the table and you just let them die?
00:53:43.000And then when Trump said they believe in abortion after the ninth month, no, we don't.
00:53:45.000No, we don't. You voted against the Stay Alive Bill.
00:54:33.000They control every whole house, every crack corner, every failing school, every corrupt police force, every judge, every jury that's sending black men to prison.
