00:02:43.000 That's relieffactor.com.

00:02:47.000 What is progressivism?

00:02:50.000 We hear this term a lot.

00:02:52.000 It comes from this idea that we must have this onward march through the institutions.

00:03:00.000 There's been a couple news items lately that have been confirmation of the warnings that those of us that are conservatives have been making.

00:03:08.000 In essence, progressivism in the political sense is a rejection of human nature.

00:03:14.000 You see, progressives, in its purest sense, they must create a pattern of deconstruction and undermine things that work and things that are permanent.

00:03:25.000 You might have saw this story in the last couple of days.

00:03:28.000 It says that Laurel Hubbard is the first transgender athlete to compete in the Olympics.

00:03:33.000 So Laurel Hubbard, who is a man who thinks that he is a woman, has competed in men's events in the past.

00:03:40.000 I'm reading from Foxnews.com.

00:03:42.000 Will become the first transgender competitor to qualify to be on the country's weightlifting team for Tokyo in 2020.

00:03:51.000 Laurel Hubbard said, I am grateful and humbled by the kindness and support that has been given to me by so many New Zealanders.

00:03:58.000 Laurel Hubbard, 43, said in a statement according to the BBC.

00:04:02.000 The report continued to point out that in 2015, the International Olympic Committee changed its rules to allow transgender athletes to compete as long as their testosterone level is below a certain level.

00:04:14.000 There's another story that came out.

00:04:16.000 Chelsea Wolf, who is one of, is a man who thinks, again, that he is a woman to compete in the Tokyo Olympics, potentially United States women's BMX writing.

00:04:32.000 Now, it's bad enough that this person wants to compete against other women as a man, but then if he were to win, he said that if I win, I will burn the American flag on the podium.

00:04:45.000 That's right, I will burn the American flag on the podium.

00:04:49.000 You see, the agenda of decay that is at work here is a campaign to corrode the composition of our society.

00:04:57.000 Now, many people ask the question, why?

00:04:59.000 Why are they trying to do this?

00:05:00.000 It's because they find the fabric of our society to be unjust.

00:05:06.000 This idea of endless historical progress comes from Hegel and then was embraced by many other German historicists, actually started at John Hopkins University.

00:05:16.000 And Woodrow Wilson was probably the first American president to want to wage war on the conservative constitutional founding of our country.

00:05:24.000 You see, Wilson declared war on the founders and their moral ideas.

00:05:28.000 Woodrow Wilson was an academic.

00:05:31.000 He became president of Princeton University and then governor of New Jersey.

00:05:35.000 And by doing so, he thought that human beings and humanity was a project.

00:05:41.000 Progressivism believes that human beings are eventually perfectible.

00:05:46.000 It really is this struggle of whether or not you believe Darwin or do you believe Newton?

00:05:50.000 Sir Isaac Newton was, of course, a Christian, wrote more about biblical prophecy than he did even in the Principia Mathematica.

00:05:57.000 But this idea of do you think humanity can't be perfected?

00:06:00.000 Do you think that human beings are built or are made a certain way?

00:06:04.000 You see, the founders and the framers thought that humanity was something that you cannot change, that there is a certain nature to human beings in the Declaration of Independence.

00:06:13.000 That is best articulated as the laws of nature and of nature's God.

00:06:18.000 You see, if you believe that humanity is perfectible or constantly evolving, then you would have no problem with a man who thinks he is a woman playing in this BMX competition, Chelsea Wolf.

00:06:31.000 Chelsea Wolfe wrote on Instagram, quote, It's taking a bit to fully register that after so many years of work, we finally have the squad for the Olympics.

00:06:39.000 And that after so much work and overcoming for so many obstacles, I'm qualified to represent the United States as an ultimate writer.

00:06:46.000 You see, this man who is confused about who he is, thinks he's a woman, is not good enough to compete against men and is not even good enough to compete on the first team on the women's team.

00:06:56.000 But you see, Chelsea Wolfe, I'm guessing that's not the birth name, they are nothing more than a vessel, and dare I say, an embodiment of the worst aspects of this corrosive agenda of American progressivism, which is if you think that there is an institution that is impenetrable, it is your right, it is your duty actually to try to infiltrate it and corrode it.

00:07:24.000 And so this is a very, this is an important question that if you send a college to a university, they'll have an answer to this that is wrong, which is, do you think that human beings evolve from their natural state and therefore change their composition?

00:07:37.000 Or do you instead observe how we are and then try to have human beings operate within a framework of laws and rules and order?

00:07:44.000 That's really what's at play here. 0.99

00:07:46.000 And interestingly, some states have decided not to protect female sports.

00:07:51.000 The governor of North Dakota, a Republican, decided to make a decision, Governor Bergenham, that women's sports are not worthy of protection.

00:07:58.000 Not understanding that there's a much broader agenda at play here, which is it's an agenda of decay. 0.91

00:08:05.000 Something that works, something that has order and rules must be protected and preserved, where the other side thinks it should be infiltrated and usurped.

00:08:17.000 And a very simple question by those people that wish to corrode is, what is worth preserving?

00:08:23.000 What shouldn't change?

00:08:25.000 You see, the progressives, and as they call themselves, are anything but progressives.

00:08:30.000 They say that we want advancement, when in reality, it's an agenda of discord, one of confusion and disunity.

00:08:38.000 And it's best embodied by Chelsea Andrea Wolf saying that if you do not let me compete against women, because I think I'm a woman, even though I'm a man, then therefore you do not have empathy.

00:08:49.000 Therefore, you do not have a heart for people like me.

00:08:53.000 When in reality, it should be, hold on a second. 0.98

00:08:56.000 We have a heart for the women that do not have the same sort of physical advantage that you have. 0.85

00:09:02.000 And so Wolf continues to write that if she wins, not only she will not have gratitude for the nation, no, no, no, but she best embodies this by saying, I will burn the American flag if I win. 0.94

00:09:12.000 That if I win this competition in the Tokyo Olympics, I will burn the American flag.

00:09:19.000 And now, this agenda of decay, as we have said it, only stops when we are willing to endure the names they are inevitably going to call us, and we fight early and we preempt this. 0.94

00:09:32.000 This transgender nonsense that's happening in the country is largely because we, those of us that believe in biological standards and eternal and divine truth, were afraid of the potential names they were going to call us. 0.97

00:09:47.000 And now we see how it's actually impacting the rest of society. 0.99

00:09:50.000 We're seeing that it does not just stop with this.

00:09:52.000 It goes to, no, no, I'm going to blow up the American flag with dynamite.

00:09:59.000 Do you ever read the fine print that appears when you start browsing in incognito mode?

00:10:03.000 It says that your activity might still be visible to your employer, your school, or your internet service provider.

00:10:07.000 How can they even call it incognito?

00:10:09.000 To really stop these people from seeing the sites you visit, you need to do what I do and use ExpressVPN.

00:10:15.000 Think about all the times you've used the Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, a hotel, or even at your parents' home.

00:10:19.000 Without ExpressVPN, every single site you visit could be logged by the admin of that network.

00:10:25.000 And that's still true when you're in incognito mode.

00:10:28.000 What's more is your home internet provider, I'm talking about Comcast, AT ⁇ T, or whatever, can also see and record your browsing data.

00:10:35.000 ExpressVPN is an application, it's an app that encrypts all of your network data and reroutes it through a network of secure servers so that your private online activity says just that, private.

00:10:45.000 ExpressVPN works on all of your devices and it's super easy to use.

00:10:49.000 So stop letting strangers invade your online privacy.

00:11:05.000 I'm going to read just, this is hilarious.

00:11:09.000 In Newsweek, it says, critics say Hubbard has an unfair advantage.

00:11:13.000 We're talking about the man who thinks he's a woman in a weightlifting competition.

00:11:18.000 But others have argued for more inclusion at the games.

00:11:23.000 So if it's all about inclusion always, then why have any sort of age parameters?

00:11:27.000 Why do we not have adults competing against 12-year-olds?

00:11:30.000 Well, because inclusion, if inclusion is the ultimate priority, then why have any sort of discrimination at all based on age or based on sex?

00:11:39.000 Belgium's Anna Venabeligian will likely compete against Hubbard and said her presence in Tokyo would be like, quote, a bad joke for women's competitors.

00:11:49.000 But New Zealand's government and the country's top sporting body have backed her inclusion.

00:11:53.000 BMX rider Chelsea Wolf will travel to the Tokyo Olympics with Team USA, making history as the first trans athlete to go to the Olympics on the U.S. roster.

00:12:02.000 Wolf will only officially compete if one of the other two qualifying writers, Hannah Roberts and Paris Banegas, drop out.

00:12:08.000 So this man who thinks he's a woman is not even good enough to make the team, despite him cheating.

00:12:14.000 Fox News had some comments on this, a great segment on this.

00:12:16.000 Play cut 29, please.

00:12:18.000 This Olympic athlete, Chelsea Wolfe, there's a Facebook post that has surfaced from the March of last year.

00:12:26.000 She says, my goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn a U.S. flag on the podium.

00:12:30.000 This is what they focus on during the pandemic, hurting trans children.

00:12:35.000 And then cut 30 is Fox's Carly Shimkiss continues to point out that winning a medal is not just about you, but your nation and national pride.

00:12:44.000 And winning a medal is not just about you, it's about your country, representing your nation, national pride.

00:12:51.000 I mean, think about that moment where you win and you are in the tallest podium and everybody in the country is looking at you representing them.

00:13:00.000 The national anthem is playing.

00:13:02.000 And she said that she wanted to burn the American flag on that podium.

00:13:06.000 What an unfortunate moment.

00:13:09.000 It's a slap in the face to this country that actually affords her the ability to say those things without ramifications.

00:13:18.000 With dynamite, he said, not she, he said. 0.79

00:13:22.000 And this athlete, I guess, who's not good enough to compete against men, decides to change to be a woman and then can't even make the first team and then says to any sort of duty to their nation, if I win, I'm going to go burn the American flag with dynamite. 0.96

00:13:39.000 But this is exactly their agenda. 0.96

00:13:41.000 The agenda is to corrode the composition of a working society.

00:13:45.000 They find everything so unjust, anything that exists, they must attempt to infiltrate it.

00:13:52.000 And so this really is the struggle against what is worthy of preservation, if anything.

00:13:58.000 And those of us that actually see things at work, we have practical wisdom and prudence, and hopefully some form of a judgment, we must be unafraid to endure what any sort of names they will call us to say, no, you're not actually competing against women. 0.72

00:14:11.000 Go find something else to do.

00:14:13.000 Go try to compete against men if you still think you're a man.

00:14:17.000 And if you think that humanity is some sort of ever-changing project, then this makes perfect sense for you.

00:14:27.000 But for those of us that think that you're made in a certain way, then all of a sudden we must say there are certain things that should not change, that the cult of progress that wants to change things for the sake of changing them has had such an incredible track record of destruction in our country's history.

00:14:44.000 And for any of you that might have young ladies in your life that are athletes, what kind of message does this send to them?

00:14:50.000 You know, the left always says they stand for women's rights.

00:14:52.000 Well, what is a woman?

00:14:54.000 They're not even able to define that. 1.00

00:14:55.000 They say, anyone who chooses to be a woman.

00:14:58.000 We got an email at freedom at charliekirk.com.

00:15:00.000 Hello, my two teenage daughters, 19 and 15, attended the Young Women's Leadership Summit in Dallas last weekend.

00:15:05.000 We loved every minute of it.

00:15:07.000 Thank you for all the work you do.

00:15:08.000 We are now faced with a problem that I'm hoping you can help us with.

00:15:11.000 My girls are both Olympic weightlifters at the national level.

00:15:14.000 Our goal is to make a world team and go to the Olympics.

00:15:17.000 USA Weightlifting just announced yesterday their new inclusion plan for men athletes or transgender athletes.

00:15:23.000 My girls have been trained tirelessly for years.

00:15:26.000 We've moved to be closer to our gym and our coach.

00:15:28.000 We have spent thousands of dollars with travel and competition fees.

00:15:31.000 Now we are faced with competing against biological boron males, which is not right or fair. 0.52

00:15:36.000 After we're given this announcement, I knew right away that there's something that must be to speak out.

00:15:39.000 I email the lawyer and the law firm page any insight you could give us.

00:15:44.000 I'm sorry to say, but you said right or fair.

00:15:46.000 No, those are objective terms.

00:15:48.000 In the new America that is being ushered in by the cult of progress, nothing is right and nothing is fair.

00:15:54.000 It's only your opinion.

00:15:55.000 It is your truth. 0.90

00:15:56.000 Who's to say that a man who has muscle mass cannot instantaneously, has more muscle mass, change his identity to go compete against women?

00:16:05.000 And Candace, with your question, I'm going to answer it in the following segment in one way.

00:16:09.000 But if we do not challenge this in the courts or through our legislatures, which the governor of North Dakota decided not to do, there will be no such career for your daughters.

00:17:20.000 Darwin or Newton?

00:17:23.000 Which one guides the American left?

00:17:26.000 Darwin believed that everything is constantly evolving, that things are going to change.

00:17:32.000 Always.

00:17:33.000 Newton did not have that belief.

00:17:35.000 Newton was an observer.

00:17:36.000 He was a friend of Sir Francis Bacon, who, of course, invented the scientific method.

00:17:41.000 And the founding fathers had a Newtonian view of the world.

00:17:45.000 The framers of the Constitution believed that there were the laws of nature and nature's God.

00:17:49.000 They said that in the Declaration of the Independence, it was built into the soul and the imprint of who we are.

00:17:56.000 Now, the president, who is probably one of the least known presidents in American history, that was probably the worst philosophical president in American history, who's largely to blame for this kind of cult of progress that we're living through, is Woodrow Wilson.

00:18:09.000 Now, Woodrow Wilson and Joe Biden have a lot in common.

00:18:12.000 First of all, Woodrow Wilson never deserved to be president.

00:18:15.000 He became president by accident, largely because of Teddy Roosevelt running against William Howard Taft in the election of 1912.

00:18:21.000 Secondly, Woodrow Wilson wrote openly and rather eloquently, but in a very, very, I think, deceitful way.

00:18:32.000 He declared war on the philosophical underpinnings of the American founding.

00:18:35.000 You see, Woodrow Wilson believed that the American founding was outdated because they have not yet been enlightened with the teachings or the writings of Charles Darwin or Hegel or the historicist mind.

00:18:48.000 They believed that human beings evolve from their natural state and that Hamilton and Washington and Adams and Madison, they were not as enlightened as Woodrow Wilson, the head of Princeton University and the governor of New Jersey.

00:19:01.000 This is best embodied by their pathological focus to try to debase and undermine anything that might have existed before them.

00:19:09.000 Woodrow Wilson famously said, quote, if you want to understand the real Declaration of Independence, do not repeat the preface.

00:19:16.000 Now, the Declaration doesn't have a preface, but what he meant is that opening couple paragraphs where Thomas Jefferson talks about eternal truths.

00:19:24.000 And so a question for the International Olympic Committee is, will there be women's sports in 10 years?

00:19:30.000 Or will it just be one big sport category?

00:19:32.000 Will there ever be a protected sports category?

00:19:35.000 Is there anything worth preserving?

00:19:37.000 Now, interestingly, in the 1960s, there was this belief that some of the Soviet countries or the Soviet Union were trying to put men disguised as women to become weightlifters and bodybuilders.

00:19:49.000 The way that they were able to figure out that wasn't the case is a very simple chromosomal test.

00:19:54.000 XX, XY ended the conversation rather quickly.

00:19:58.000 But now we are subjecting our young women competitors who have, on average, 9% less muscle tissue, have 9% more essential fat, and 3% more non-essential fat. 0.63

00:20:11.000 Men have at least 3% more bone density and about the same level of organ composition.

00:20:18.000 And even if you were to take hormonal blockers, men against a female, a man takes hormonal blockers against a female still performs better despite all of the chemical-induced therapy.

00:20:33.000 But even beyond that, this is not about women's sports.

00:20:35.000 This is about a question of what is worthy of preserving.

00:20:39.000 And is there ever going to be a moment when this cult of progress, as I encourage all of you to go read Woodrow Wilson's 1913 essay, What is Progress?

00:20:48.000 He says that is the human ideal.

00:20:50.000 The ideal is to change things.

00:20:52.000 And do you see how clever the collectivist left is in doing this?

00:20:57.000 They say, oh, for example, Barack Obama, his 2008 slogan was literally change, and then 2012 forward.

00:21:05.000 We must continue this forward march through the institutions.

00:21:10.000 Now, hilariously, some members on the left actually want some things not to change.

00:21:17.000 In fact, when they're presented with their own pathological ideology, some of them get slightly more nuanced. 0.80

00:21:26.000 The greatest example is probably one of the most corrupt and one of the most scatter-brained, and dare I say, paranoid, somewhat schizophrenic senators out there.

00:21:35.000 One of my least favorite people in office, Sheldon White Club.

00:21:38.000 I mean, Sheldon Whitehouse.

00:21:40.000 So let me just tell you about Sheldon Whitehouse.

00:21:40.000 I'm sorry.

00:21:42.000 This guy is very, very paranoid.

00:21:44.000 He actually attacked Turning Point USA in an open letter in January or February, saying that the Internal Revenue Service should investigate Turning Point USA, our organization, because we had an event where people weren't wearing masks.

00:21:56.000 I kid you.

00:21:57.000 That is his reasoning, that we were not social distancing.

00:22:00.000 Therefore, the Internal Revenue Service should come after Turning Point USA.

00:22:03.000 2017, you've had expressed concerns about the membership of the All-White Bailey Speech Club, said that you hoped it would become more diverse.

00:22:10.000 Has there been any traction in that?

00:22:11.000 Are there any minority members of the club now?

00:22:14.000 I think the people who are running the place are still working on that.

00:22:17.000 I'm sorry it hasn't happened yet.

00:22:19.000 Should these clubs continue to exist?

00:22:21.000 It's a long tradition in Rhode Island, and there are many of them.

00:22:24.000 And I think we just need to work our way through the issues.

00:22:27.000 Thank you.

00:22:30.000 Do you see Sheldon Whitehouse?

00:22:31.000 He then makes a moral argument.

00:22:33.000 He implies in his answer: tradition is a good thing.

00:22:37.000 He ever so quietly and subtly, not quietly, he subtly says, well, it's a tradition, therefore, how dare you question it?

00:22:43.000 Are you saying, Sheldon White Club, that certain things should continue to exist in its current form?

00:22:49.000 Are you trying to say that things should not change always?

00:22:53.000 You see, Sheldon White Clubhouse, or House Club, who is, again, not a fan.

00:22:58.000 I'm not a fan of his, and he's not a fan of mine.

00:23:00.000 So we have that in common, actually.

00:23:01.000 We don't like each other.

00:23:03.000 And he's attacked our organization, I think, unfairly and unjustly.

00:23:08.000 He even says, Well, look, it's been around for a while.

00:23:10.000 So what do you want to get rid of history?

00:23:11.000 Well, that's exactly what they want to do.

00:23:14.000 You see, and I'm going to play a tape here.

00:23:16.000 This is part of the agenda.

00:23:17.000 What if I told you that a Colorado mayor has now gotten rid of the Pledge of Allegiance? 0.91

00:23:23.000 Let's play Cut 33 first, then Cut 32.

00:23:26.000 Again, this is part of the agenda.

00:23:28.000 It's an agenda of usurpation.

00:23:30.000 It's an agenda that they call advancement because the Pledge of Allegiance was written before we were all anti-racist and that we were awoken to the reality that even some Democrats like Sheldon Whitehouse say, well, hold on, some tradition must matter.

00:23:42.000 And this is a collision course that's going to end up happening in the Democrats because, yes, some things are actually really nice and worthy of protecting that even Democrats enjoy, including their incredibly upper-middle-class communities like Aspen, Colorado.

00:23:55.000 But I just want to give you this one of these examples here.

00:23:58.000 Fox News report on Shane Vernon, who says the Pledge of Allegiance should no longer be used.

00:24:06.000 Cut 32.

00:24:08.000 Let's talk a little bit about, let's take you out to Silverton, Colorado, where out of nowhere, Mayor Shane Furman decided at the Board of Trustee meetings, which apparently he presides over, there would no longer be a Pledge of Allegiance said.

00:24:23.000 He suspended it.

00:24:25.000 He said, due to direct and indirect threats, comments in and out of public meetings, and general divisiveness and issues created in our community.

00:24:35.000 I don't know what this mayor thinks he's doing, but he thinks he's a member or a participant in the progressive agenda that we've talked about, that Woodrow Wilson articulated.

00:24:44.000 Again, it's this historicist belief, endless historical progress.

00:24:49.000 Nothing must be permanent. 0.99

00:24:51.000 Get rid of the flag, get rid of genders, get rid of sports. 0.98

00:24:53.000 What they will replace it with, they're not so sure about, but whatever it is, it must go.

00:24:58.000 But the people rose up against it.

00:25:00.000 The members of the city council said, we're not going to take this.

00:25:03.000 They defied him, and then he immediately says, I'm going to kick you out if you do it again.

00:25:07.000 Cut 33. 1.00

00:25:07.000 Direct and indirect threats, inappropriate comments in and out of public meetings, and the general divisiveness that she's creating in our community. 1.00

00:25:15.000 We will not be doing the Pledge of Allegiance during Town of Silverton Board of Trustee meetings.

00:25:20.000 But it's just been done for a long time.

00:25:28.000 This is not up for discussion at this moment.

00:25:30.000 I'd like to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:25:34.000 I'm sorry, but that's who's the United States of America.

00:25:38.000 I'd note that that's out of order.

00:25:40.000 And we did have a one-strike policy.

00:25:42.000 I'm not going to ask everyone to leave tonight, but if something like that happens again, we will.

00:25:46.000 Shane Vernon, whoever this guy is, is the ultimate definition of the micro-tyrant. 0.71

00:25:50.000 You see, Joseph Stalin was able to assume power because of thousands of smaller micro-tyrants like Shane Vernon, who decided to go remove history and were willing to implement that.

00:26:02.000 This guy is a mayor of a rather decent pro-American town in southwestern Colorado. 0.59

00:26:09.000 And his agenda is not to get people back to work, not to stem the curve of the Chinese coronavirus.

00:26:14.000 No, his agenda is to remove the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:26:17.000 And then his members defy him and he says, This is out of order.

00:26:21.000 This is out of protocol.

00:26:22.000 I'm not going to ask you now, but I'm going to have to use force if necessary. 0.85

00:26:25.000 And this all plays together with Chelsea Wolf.

00:26:29.000 Is that the person's name?

00:26:31.000 Kelsey Andrea Wolf, Laurel Hubbard, who's a New Zealand athlete.

00:26:36.000 Do you feel like things are changing too fast?

00:26:38.000 I do.

00:26:39.000 Do you think that as if there's an almost religious fervor to move something that might exist away just because it existed beforehand?

00:26:49.000 This is not sustainable.

00:26:50.000 In fact, it's very unhealthy.

00:26:52.000 It's deeply disturbing.

00:26:54.000 And it's a rejection of a pattern and a rhythm of the ancestors and the people that came before us that had things that worked.

00:27:06.000 And it's also rooted in another word.

00:27:09.000 It's rooted in pride.

00:27:11.000 Imagine how prideful you must be to think that all of a sudden you're so enlightened to want to remove the Pledge of Allegiance, to want to destroy women's sports.

00:27:21.000 Come, what do we do about this?

00:27:22.000 What do we do to confront this idea that it seems as if everywhere we turn, there's something that exists and they want to take that down.

00:27:30.000 The only thing we can do is to play offense.

00:27:33.000 We no longer have to, we no longer can just allow the other side to determine or dictate the terms of engagement.

00:27:43.000 I want to show you what playing offense is.

00:27:46.000 Playing offense is when a nine-year-old goes to a PTA meeting and says, you said there were no politics or BLM in our schools and you were wrong and you lied.

00:27:55.000 Playing offense means you go find powerful people that are doing bad things and you call them out full of grace and truth and love, but direct to their face.

00:28:04.000 This is a nine-year-old student.

00:28:06.000 And if you're sick like I am and you are exhausted at seeing every institution that has worked decay in front of your eyes, it's no longer upon us to manage that decay.

00:28:17.000 It's time for us to play offense against the people that are administrating the decay.

00:28:21.000 Play cut seven.

00:28:22.000 Two weeks ago, at this very meeting spot, no politics in school.

00:28:27.000 I believed what you said at this meeting.

00:28:29.000 So at lunch, I went up to my principal to tell him about the BLM poster and that I wanted it down.

00:28:34.000 He said it's not coming down.

00:28:36.000 I was like, yeah, it is because the school board said on May 25th, no BLM or politics in school.

00:28:43.000 He said, that's weird.

00:28:46.000 They were the ones who made them.

00:28:48.000 I was stunned. 0.94

00:28:49.000 When I was here two weeks ago, you told us to report any BLM in our schools.

00:28:53.000 Apparently, you know, they're in our schools because you made the signs.

00:28:58.000 There's a student who says, wait a second, you made a rule publicly, and then privately, you're deceitfully and almost engaging in treachery undermining that rule.

00:29:09.000 That's what must be done.

00:29:11.000 Because almost at every single turn, for example, the International Olympic Committee says, we are dedicated to fairness.

00:29:16.000 If you're dedicated to fairness, why are men competing against women?

00:29:19.000 Hold them to their own book of rules. 0.68

00:29:21.000 And a nine-year-old has the wisdom to actually be able to spot this and then the courage to do something about it.

00:29:27.000 Play cut two, cut it.

00:29:28.000 He says there should be no BLM in schools, period.

00:29:31.000 Does not matter the color you make the posters and the font you use. 0.94

00:29:35.000 We all understand the meaning.

00:29:37.000 It is a political message about getting rid of police officers, rioting, burning buildings down while King Governor Welch just sits on his throne and watches.

00:29:47.000 We all know changing the font or the color of posters does not change the meaning.

00:29:52.000 I am nine years old and I know that.

00:29:55.000 That nine-year-old has more wisdom than the combined Harvard faculty.

00:30:01.000 And that's what it's going to take.

00:30:03.000 That's an offensive strategy.

00:30:05.000 No longer just reacting, but going after the source of the administration of this cult of progress.

00:30:11.000 Remember, progressivism at its core in the modern American sense is a rejection of human nature.

00:30:16.000 Go read Woodrow Wilson's 1913 essay of What is Progress.

00:30:21.000 He says very clearly that he thought that this idea of permanent checks and balances were unneeded to the enlightened man.

00:30:28.000 To the 20th and 21st century man, they think they are above the sort of trappings of ancestral America.

00:30:36.000 If you think human beings are constantly evolving, then progressivism is for you.

00:30:41.000 If you think that human nature is constant and broken, then you need to design a framework that acknowledges them.

00:30:48.000 It will implode.

00:30:50.000 And they don't know how to play defense.

00:30:52.000 They are the only offensive creatures.

00:30:54.000 They have no defense.

00:30:55.000 When they are called out, when we spread the light and we shine this darkness to light with truth, it shatters under the pressure of courageous action.

00:31:05.000 Let me say that again.

00:31:06.000 It shatters under the pressure of courageous action.
