00:00:34.000And other states just seem to now be following his lead.
00:00:37.000We also give you a little bit of a warning from the past, Yuri Besmanov, and the handbook from the communists themselves in 1963, all here on the Charlie Kirk show.
00:00:47.000Email us your thoughts, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:50.000And if you want to get involved with Turning Point USA, we're on thousands of high school and college campuses across the country playing offense with a sense of urgency to win America's Culture War to make our kids love America again.
00:01:18.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:26.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:55.000You've rarely seen this kind of focus and commitment.
00:01:57.000Seriously, they recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their number of total happy customers in the next year.
00:02:06.000If you're struggling with back, neck, shoulder, hip or knee pain, or even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted only $19.95, about a dollar a day to see if we can get you out of pain.
00:02:25.000We got to talking last evening, and the question came up of who's going to lead the Republican Party, which is a question that people are asking a lot now, for good reason.
00:02:37.000And even before we got to that topic, we started talking about how certain states have handled the Chinese coronavirus and the lockdowns alongside of it differently than others, which, by the way, is an attribute of the American system.
00:02:49.000It is a positive that we are able to have certain states handle this more maturely than others, and that we did not have a one-size-fits-all strategy straight from Dr. Fauci.
00:02:59.000It's a good thing that Dr. Fauci was giving recommendations and not orders.
00:05:02.000Bill Gates was going on television, you might remember, saying this is at least going to be a decade-long thing.
00:05:07.000And leadership is a very interesting thing because you do not find out who a person really is until there is a pressure-filled situation.
00:05:16.000Aristotle had a great quote, it's four words, which is, power shows the man.
00:05:20.000You want to find out who a person is, give them a bunch of money, a bunch of resources, and a pressure-filled environment, and you'll find out who that person is.
00:05:28.000It's very easy to be a governor when there's a booming economy and very little difficulty, just managing the status quo, when you inherit something rather favorable.
00:05:38.000Ron DeSantis had the ultimate state-based Churchillian moment where he had to decide whether or not he was going to lead the entire nation and with it, the planet in reopening.
00:05:49.000And it very well could have backfired.
00:05:51.000When Ron DeSantis decided to open up Florida last May, when he just said, hey, restaurants are open, schools are open, and businesses are open.
00:05:59.000He led even Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Oklahoma.
00:06:02.000And I think they've done a good job of reopening since.
00:06:05.000But he boldly said, May 20th of last year, you're open for business.
00:06:28.000And I will make the argument that Governor Ron DeSantis, having the one quality that unifies all the other virtues, which is courage, actually has led the nation and the world in reopening.
00:06:42.000The only reason why Mayor de Blasio is reopening is because now he has to go deal with constituents who have now gotten a small taste of reopening in Florida.
00:06:51.000Now the people that have a winter home in Palm Beach, they're coming back and they're calling the mayor's office and saying, look, Mayor de Blasio, there's a way to do this.
00:06:59.000So let me give you one example of how the lockdowns actually hurt the spread of the virus.
00:07:03.000How the lockdowns actually did the opposite of what we were told they were going to do.
00:08:28.000And by the way, the CDC has now, it was about a month and a half ago, the front page of the New York Times, basically the easiest way to epidemiologically make sure this virus doesn't spread, just open a window.
00:08:38.000Basically is what every single study shows.
00:08:41.000A little bit of natural airflow, all of a sudden, 98% of the spread of the Chinese coronavirus gets thwarted.
00:08:48.000But what the central planners didn't realize is that people are going to meet anyway.
00:08:52.000The lockdowns actually have the opposite of the intended purpose.
00:08:56.000So wouldn't it be better to have restaurants go every other table, outdoor dining, and trust the business owners to be able to handle this appropriately?
00:09:59.000Hey, are you going to bring home Florida for Trump?
00:10:02.000Now, by the way, Governor Ducey, as we're here live on AM 960, The Answer in Arizona, and Governor Kemp in Georgia, they didn't deliver Georgia and Arizona for Trump.
00:10:10.000In fact, they didn't deliver one Republican Senate seat for Republicans.
00:10:15.000Ron DeSantis had a lot of pressure, and he could have done the safe and easy thing.
00:10:19.000Instead, Ron DeSantis said, we are reopening.
00:10:23.000Trump won by 400,000 votes in Florida, more than any other Republican in recent memory.
00:10:31.000Maybe people right now are waiting for bold and courageous leadership, not just milquetoast, vanilla pandering.
00:10:40.000So Joe Biden is taking credit for something that I think Ron DeSantis and Donald Trump actually did.
00:10:44.000Donald Trump on the vaccine production, but Ron DeSantis on the reopening.
00:10:50.000And we're going to keep on diving into this because this is something that we must repeat because repetition is the soul of memory.
00:10:57.000And without recognizing and realizing that what we are now seeing in front of us, which by the way is the envy of the world, an open economy, the ability to meet with your friends, we have to ask ourselves the question, how did this happen?
00:11:26.000That's why I get my meat from goodranchers.com because their product is 100% American.
00:11:30.000When you buy your steak and chicken from good ranchers, not only are you getting amazing meat, but you're also supporting American farms.
00:11:36.000My friends at Good Ranchers have traveled the United States and met with actual farmers that raise the livestock to ensure the product they are sending to your table is the very best.
00:11:43.000All the product is individually wrapped and it eliminates waste.
00:11:46.000Goodranchers.com safely delivers American craft beef.
00:11:49.000Better than organic chicken, right to your door.
00:11:51.000Buy one time, or better yet, subscribe.
00:13:02.000Not exactly what I would consider to be a win, where Florida's unemployment rate is 4.7%, about half of that of California's.
00:13:13.000So, Dr. Fauci, who should have been fired on day one, he's a pathological liar and has never cared about the totality of the livelihood of the American people.
00:13:26.000And by the way, his epidemiological advice has been proven wrong at every single turn.
00:13:32.000Whether it says don't wear masks and wear masks, he says that we need to reach 80% for herd immunity, then 90% for herd immunity.
00:13:43.000The only thing he has ever said is just basically go lock down and keep yourself at home.
00:13:47.000The first time we've ever entertained a long-term strategy of quarantine the healthy and the people that are not largely at risk when it comes to a certain virus.
00:13:58.000Again, which actually goes to show it hurt the general health of the population.
00:14:03.000Do you know that more young people under the age of 30 have committed suicide in California than have died from the Chinese coronavirus?
00:14:21.000It's called the Freedom of Information Request or Act.
00:14:25.000Go FOIA your local county government for suicide statistics and then compare them year over year.
00:14:31.000They're hiding this data intentionally, they're hiding it because it's not good.
00:14:35.000And the states that have shut down, they have a lot of explaining to do why opioid and alcohol-related deaths have gone up, why all of a sudden we thought it was a good idea to quarantine the abused with their abusers.
00:14:50.000Where we have seen childhood abuse gone up, where we have seen a nearly tripling in pharmaceutical distribution for antidepressants for children under the age of 10.
00:15:03.000These are long-term damaging effects of something that we did to ourselves.
00:15:10.000So Florida has a 4.7% unemployment rate, and California, an 8.5% unemployment rate.
00:15:16.000Now, in the next couple segments, we're going to explore what's actually preventing the unemployment rate from going down even further, which I believe part of the stimulus package has been one of the most short-sighted ideas that we have decided to do, which is to pay people not to work, which is something we're seeing in low-wage industries all across the country.
00:15:38.000But as we're seeing America reopen, we must understand this was not a certain thing.
00:15:43.000This was not something that was a guarantee.
00:15:48.000But Ron DeSantis led so early and so boldly, other states started to take notice.
00:15:54.000And the fact he did that with the third most populated state in the country sent a message to the rest of the states, might be third or fourth most populated state.
00:16:04.000The best stimulus Ron DeSantis has proven is reopening your economy.
00:16:09.000It's not multi-trillions of dollars created of thin air from Washington, D.C., being spent on these unknown social infrastructure projects, pale in comparison with liberating the American entrepreneur.
00:16:24.000Power shows the man and pressure shows the man.
00:16:27.000Governor Newsom, who's now facing a recall fight, who's going to have to explain the fact that California, despite having a younger population than Florida, had a worth virus death rate and case rate, nearly double the unemployment and the structural issues that go alongside of it.
00:16:46.000And so when you ask Ron DeSantis, why did he do this?
00:16:49.000Did he have a vision in the middle of the night?
00:16:54.000No, he actually has a pretty simple answer.
00:16:57.000He decided to stop listening to Dr. Fauci and get experts to actually care about the data and science and not a politically driven vision for the country.
00:17:07.000And he gave a very simple speech last May.
00:19:34.000And then we had this like roundtable on September 25th with Martin and Mike Levitt and with DeSantis leading it.
00:19:40.000And the next day, he lifted most of the restrictions all across Florida.
00:19:44.000I mean, there's this combination of like bravery, intellectual bravery, and also willingness to take a stand and sort of knowledge that I've never seen in a politician.
00:19:54.000So there's Stanford University's Jay Battichara recounting that he just got a call from Ron DeSantis randomly on Sunday morning last year and just called them out of the blue and they talked for two hours about the data, about transmission rates, about mortality rates, all of it.
00:20:13.000And Ron DeSantis really valued that conversation and reopened the Florida economy.
00:20:19.000Cut 133, Professor Batachara says that he knew the science better than epidemiologists and any other politician.
00:20:29.000And by the way, for other Republican governors out there, like Governor DeWine from Ohio, who still has Ohio locked down, or Governor Baker, who's a Republican governor from Massachusetts, Ron DeSantis is making you guys look awfully silly.
00:20:43.000You know, he just knew that off the top of his head.
00:20:45.000For all these people criticizing him for not following the science or governors or whatever, he could go up against any governor in the U.S., seems to me.
00:21:07.000And not only that, let's not forget that Florida has hosted a Super Bowl and the UFC in just the last couple of months, successfully.
00:21:18.000This goes to this theme, though, of leadership.
00:21:21.000And we don't have a leader in the White House.
00:21:23.000I don't even know what we have in D.C., but he's enjoying the benefits of a man of one of the largest states in the country who actually did what leaders are supposed to do, shut off cable television and make informed, rational, and courageous decisions.
00:21:40.000George S. Patton had two great quotes when it came to this.
00:21:45.000My favorite one is: lead, follow, or get out of the way.
00:21:50.000My second favorite quote from George S. Patton is that moral courage is the most necessary yet absent characteristic in men.
00:21:59.000It would have been easy to just slow everything down.
00:22:03.000But liberty, once people get a taste of it, is awfully contagious.
00:22:08.000And once they saw that Florida was reopening at such a rapid and successful rate, other governors did not want to get caught looking bad.
00:22:17.000And now even the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, who is probably the worst mayor in the history of New York City, even he is succumbing to the pressure of fully reopening.
00:22:30.000Governor Whitmer herself, who has Michigan locked down, found it just so irresistible that her team, I believe even her, went down and visited Florida recently.
00:22:45.000That Governor Whitmer locked down all of Michigan, and her chief of staff came down to Florida and visit, but she wouldn't even open up Michigan herself.
00:22:55.000At least we know that it works for her.
00:22:58.000And so as we explore who is the leader of the Republican Party, it's easy to say it's Ron DeSantis.
00:23:05.000And look, things can change and they change quickly.
00:23:08.000However, the legacy of Ron DeSantis, whether he runs for higher office or not, and people are already looking at that, in my opinion, will forever be leading us away from this false lockdown abyss, this belief of safetyism instead of liberty.
00:23:32.000For our studio audience here, they can't hear it.
00:23:35.000But it's a news montage of people just going after Ron DeSantis, saying that he is recklessly going to kill his population, that he's not governing Florida correctly.
00:24:01.000You have just declared war on the First Amendment in the state of Florida.
00:24:06.000So they're actually talking about here, which I wanted to get to in this news montage, a separate one, that about the anti-rioting bill that Ron DeSantis and Florida have put into law, which is terrific.
00:24:16.000Every single Republican governor in the country should follow Ron DeSantis' lead on this.
00:24:21.000By the way, let me not for, we can't forget.
00:24:24.000Ron DeSantis has also signed an anti-critical race theory piece of legislation and executive order.
00:24:30.000Why other states have not done that as well, I don't know.
00:24:33.000He's about to sign pieces of legislation that punish tech companies for kicking conservatives off their platforms.
00:24:39.000That bill is pending in front of the state House and Senate.
00:24:43.000I'm not optimistic that that's going to get passed, but we'll see what happens.
00:24:47.000Ron DeSantis has also championed charter schools.
00:24:51.000And just so you know, Florida has the third or fourth highest educational output of any state in the country, despite having one of the lowest income populations of students and diverse and minority populations.
00:25:07.000Ron DeSantis has also banned vaccine passports and said that he will not allow the federal government to come in and mandate passports and identification around that.
00:25:17.000So if you think I'm doing too much on Ron DeSantis, first of all, I'm not.
00:25:23.000But where are the other leaders, though?
00:25:27.000Look, I want to just point out a couple of them.
00:25:30.000A governor of Oklahoma, who's a great guy.
00:25:32.000I met him when we did our Turning Point USA event.
00:25:34.000He's about to sign in an anti-critical race theory bill that says that critical race theory will not be taught in the schools of Oklahoma, which is terrific.
00:25:44.000And I think that those of us that want leadership are asking ourselves the question, why is every Republican House and Senate and governor in the country not acting as boldly?
00:26:47.000It felt good to have the mayor, the governor, and all these people working with us to put on a safe event and for people to come out and have fun.
00:26:58.000Now, what we want to do is we'll move all over Florida and do a lot of different cities in Florida to repay the governor of this state for everything he's done for us.
00:27:10.000Now, the only concern that Florida has at this point is too many Democrats are going to move to Florida and forget why they moved there in the first place.
00:27:18.000Is that the Miami mayor, God bless him, a Republican, and I have publicly spoken against him.
00:27:23.000He says, we want all the New York firms.
00:27:48.000Florida's running circles around Texas right now.
00:27:50.000The anti-riot piece of legislation, the social media piece of legislation, the no vaccine passports, reopening, open schools and open businesses.
00:28:02.000And Texas has done a nice job recently.
00:28:03.000They've opened up, I have to say, but nowhere nearly as bold as what happened in Florida.
00:28:10.000So people say, what do you want the Republican Party to stand for?
00:28:14.000The great Phyllis Schlafly had a great quote.
00:28:17.000In fact, it was the cover of her book, and she was largely responsible for destroying the Equal Rights Amendment, which was the opposite of actually the Equal Rights Amendment.
00:28:26.000She says, I prefer a choice, not an echo.
00:28:30.000I would rather have bold contrasts instead of kind of the mushy middle.
00:28:37.000I'd rather know exactly what people stand for and then be able to make an informed choice and decision from there.
00:28:43.000And that should be a message for Republicans in Washington, D.C. There should be a clear signal sent that this idea of constantly pandering to the other side because we're afraid they're going to say bad things about us, they actually said to Ron DeSantis that he was going to sacrifice his population because he was reopening the state.
00:29:04.000And now, of course, he has one of the largest influxes of people, of individuals across the country of outward migration because everyone wants to be there.
00:29:14.000It's really called the Florida effect.
00:29:18.000So as we're wrestling with who needs to run the Republican Party, who should be the spokesperson?
00:29:24.000And, you know, Donald Trump may or may not run in 2024.
00:29:27.000He even said that he might run with Ron DeSantis if he does run.
00:29:31.000I think the question is less about who.
00:29:33.000And the more important question is, what kind of qualities do they have?
00:29:37.000We need more George Pattons and less Neville Chamberlains.
00:29:41.000We need people that are not going to sue for peace and instead are going to clearly put forward a vision for success.
00:29:48.000As I said clearly, it says it in the Bible, where there is no vision, the people perish.
00:29:52.000And Ron DeSantis put forward a vision.
00:29:54.000The vision was, I reject this idea of new normal, of wearing two masks when I shower, of having our children forever having to go to school on a laptop.
00:30:08.000He deserves the type of praise we are giving him here.
00:30:12.000And I think the Republicans that are serious about winning elections, serious about actually delivering value for their constituents, need to not just take notice, but start implementing it.
00:30:22.000And here's the thing: Florida used to be a battleground state.
00:30:26.000You know that Democrats in Florida are giving up.
00:30:28.000Democrats are basic, you know where Democrats are spending their money now?
00:31:00.000Leadership is contagious, everybody, and that applies to everyone listening right now.
00:31:04.000Where can you be courageous in your local community?
00:31:06.000Where can you step up against the mob and make a positive impact for your country, your county, or for the place you care most about?
00:31:16.000I don't know about you, but I feel like I'm always looking at a screen now more than ever.
00:31:21.000And whether you're an avid news watcher or in serious need of a distraction, unplugging yourself is easier said than done.
00:31:27.000One of my favorite ways to rest my eyes and still get the content I'm inching for by putting in my Raycon wireless earbuds and listening to something great.
00:31:34.000Whether you're catching up on a favorite news podcast, binging an audiobook, or powering through your workout with pumped-up playlists, a pair of Raycons in your ears can make all the difference.
00:31:43.000Raycons are built to perform anywhere or anytime with water and sweat-resistant construction and Bluetooth app pairs quickly and seamlessly.
00:31:49.000Raycon's offering 15% of all their products for my listeners.
00:31:52.000And with enough battery life for six hours of playtime, you can unplug for a while.
00:32:38.000And we've been following this very, very closely.
00:32:42.000Now, the Democrats are trying to say that this is a partisan thing.
00:32:45.000They're saying that this is a Trump loyalist pipe dream, which is a very bizarre line of reasoning because if they felt that this election was completely properly conducted, they would want the audit and they would say, of course, we'd be happy to audit it.
00:32:58.000Go look at all the votes and all the tabulation and all the ballots and we'll prove we actually flipped Arizona.
00:33:04.000But instead, the opposite is happening.
00:33:06.000Instead, there's lawsuit after lawsuit being filed by Democrats and Democrat organizations, such as the Brennan Center for Justice, such as Perkins Coy, Protect Democracy in the Leadership Conference, and they're actually asking the Department of Justice, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, to get involved in this audit.
00:33:30.000They're doing a spot check of some of these ballots to make sure that the voter registration records actually check with the actual ballots themselves.
00:33:38.000And the state Democrats in Arizona are suing again to halt the audit.
00:33:43.000And the judge agreed to do it if the plaintiffs posted a million-dollar bond, but the Democrats refused.
00:33:49.000So now a new judge has taken over the case.
00:33:52.000Now, people are asking, what has the audit found?
00:33:55.000All we know is that the Democrats are almost hourly filing motions to dismiss of this audit to actually take place.
00:34:03.000But here's just a guess and a conjecture: there is going to be something that is found here that will warrant further investigation.
00:34:11.000The fact of how quick this audit is happening, I don't think we're going to find the totality of what I think is the greatest vulnerability in our election system, which is mass mail-in voting that happens without you know who gets the ballot, who submits it, who's filling it in with shaky and questionable voter registration.
00:34:31.000Now, the new judge who has taken over this case is a Democrat, and they were able to get the other judge to step down on a technical error because Cyber Ninjas, the firm that was overseeing the audit, had one of their employees that externed with the judge, and they considered that to be a conflict of interest.
00:34:55.000They try to paper this thing to death before you're actually able to find a conclusion.
00:34:59.000Now, Cyber Ninjas, kind of a fun name, they're the ones overseeing the audit.
00:35:04.000They have said today they plan to release a report within 60 days.
00:35:08.000Now, let me be very clear: the audit is not going to be used to reverse the election results.
00:35:14.000And the state senators have said that it can't be.
00:35:16.000However, the Republicans in the Arizona State Senate say that the audit is simply a means of restoring voters' confidence in the elections process and finding out if there are any irregularities.
00:35:48.000He launders money in a very sophisticated way.
00:35:51.000There are people out there that are not, let's say, they're not above the question of being the idea of morally going after people's ballots and submitting them without permission or engaging in that kind of practice.
00:36:08.000I know that in Georgia, when I did an event in Georgia, I asked an audience, I said, who here got a ballot that they did not request?
00:36:14.000And almost every single hand went up in the state of Georgia.
00:36:18.000And I know even in Texas, that's true as well.
00:36:20.000So the question is: this: Are we going to put in the safeguards and the practices and find out what actually happened?
00:36:25.000But you can tell by the Democrats' response in Arizona that there is something here.
00:36:30.000You can tell that either it would be on the voter registration side, on the tabulation side, or the signature verification side, that this was not conducted 100% properly.
00:36:41.000We have our eyes and ears on the ground of what's happening in Arizona, and we are going to get to the bottom of it.
00:36:47.000You know, a lot of people ask me, they say, what can we do?
00:36:53.000What is the step and the course of action to be taken at this moment?
00:36:56.000Well, something that I think is always a good rule is that you need to form groups that gather to try to make an impact on a local community.
00:37:05.000So we were just talking recently about how certain schools are passing critical race theory, passing these ridiculous mask mandates.
00:37:12.000I'm a big believer that if you get people physically in the room together, just as the American Revolution was largely launched thanks to this idea of the tavern, where it was physically in the room together.
00:37:26.000And, you know, we saw this back in 2009 and 2010 with the Tea Party movement, where the Tea Party movement was large in part thanks to Tea Party groups across the country starting and growing from there.
00:37:40.000But it really needs to be kind of a mindset shift for conservatives, which is that we have to take this more seriously than other things that we've cared about before.
00:37:51.000And Democrats have always cared more about being in activism or involvement than we have.
00:37:58.000And they've always put a preference on that over building families or building businesses or building churches.
00:38:04.000For a lot of conservatives, that's not something we're comfortable with.
00:38:07.000It's something we'd say we would much rather just build our business and hang out with our friends.
00:38:11.000But now we're seeing the country deteriorate around us.
00:38:16.000And some of us that are conservatives have hoped, I think it was a false hope, that at some point the left was going to stop.
00:38:24.000At some point, they were going to say, you know what?
00:39:29.000But here's the thing that I think we need to focus on the most, which is every single conservative in the country, and I'm just going to start doing this right after, I'd say late May, early June, which is every single conservative in the country needs to start showing up to these school board meetings.
00:39:47.000You know, conservatives, we tend to try to make peace, build relationships, build bridges.
00:39:53.000When you think about it, the kind of activistic mindset requires some sort of an adversarial approach.
00:40:02.000No one could build a business that way.
00:40:04.000And so, people that are self-made and people that have built families, you tend to try to find common ground and try to lessen the division.
00:40:14.000Unfortunately, we have to be more disagreeable at this point.
00:40:18.000We now have to say, you're not going to teach critical race theory to my child.
00:40:22.000In fact, I had someone come up to me in Hill Country, Texas yesterday and show me that in a Catholic school, they are teaching eight and nine-year-olds glowingly that Karl Marx is a wonderful figure, that Karl Marx, I saw it myself.
00:40:53.000Where he said that we leftists, we believe in the long march through the institutions.
00:40:59.000In fact, I'm going to find this clip here of, I believe it was Khrushchev.
00:41:06.000We'll find the Khrushchev or, no, it wouldn't be Gorbachev, it'd be Khrushchev, who said that your children's children are going to be Marxists in America because you Americans have no idea what it means to have intergenerational fights.
00:41:21.000You guys are going to enjoy the spoils of the free market system, and we're going to use that against you.
00:41:28.000You know, one of my friends right here from Chicago listening on AM560, The Answer, he just emailed me.
00:41:33.000He said, the Democrats have declared war on our kids.
00:45:29.000If Joe Biden had this massive amount of support, why did 11 million people tune into his speech and 39 million people tuned into Donald Trump's speech?
00:45:39.000If everyone supported the kind of cultural norms that they're pushing, why is it that the Oscars two years ago had 23 million viewers and this year had 9 million viewers?
00:45:48.000There's more people at home than ever before.
00:45:49.000Wouldn't you think more people would be watching this nonsense?
00:45:53.000No, this is something the great Rush Limbaugh taught me when I spent time with him, which is look at the things that are not always reflected in public polling.
00:46:00.000Look at the things that are leading indicators.
00:46:05.000I believe firmly that 80% of the American people are with us.
00:46:10.000I think that a 20% minority that happens to be angrier and louder than the rest of us is now governing us.
00:46:19.000We are being governed by people that are willing to walk into restaurants and scream till they get what they want.
00:46:24.000We're being governed with people that are willing to go dress up as Antifa with weapons, which, by the way, I'm happy to report, I had to cancel one of my, I didn't cancel it, Pastor Roger Archer, sweet man, I was supposed to speak at a church on Seattle.
00:46:38.000And he had to cancel because law enforcement called him and they said 1,300 Antifa people are going to come and possibly burn down your neighborhood.
00:46:47.000Happy to report, we have a new church we're going to that is hosting us and it's going to be great.
00:46:52.000And we're not going to allow this idea that if you get enough people in the streets with weapons, you can dictate what we're going to do.
00:47:00.000The point is this, is that there's actually more of us than them.
00:47:06.000That decent Americans, they're so concerned with paying the rent and raising their kids that it's going to happen as the wonderful Ernest Hemingway said so many times, gradually than suddenly.
00:47:22.000How do big things start with one courageous person?
00:47:25.000The world is reopening thanks to Ron DeSantis.
00:47:28.000What's the one thing you could be doing right now that might start a movement in your local community, in your local area, that can have ramifications, maybe nationally.
00:47:39.000And school boards are a perfect place to start.
00:47:41.000These people have never been challenged before.
00:47:43.000Most people don't know their school board members.
00:47:45.000And I'm going to start showing up to school board meetings across the country.
00:47:48.000I'm going to go back to District 214, where I went to high school in the suburbs of Chicago, a multiracial high school.
00:47:54.000And I'm going to ask why critical race theory is now being taught in District 214, where when I used to go to school, we used to get along regardless of all this hyper-racialized nonsense.
00:48:03.000I was looking for this and I finally found it.
00:48:05.000I remember reading this years ago from the congressional record January 10th, 1963, which was a hearing in the House of Representatives of what are the communists' goals in America.
00:48:17.000I don't like that term communist because people hear it and they immediately say, oh, that's just, there's no one that's actually a communist.
00:48:50.000And it's from W. Cleon Skousen, an FBI agent that was in charge of this.
00:48:56.000And by the way, everyone likes to go after Joseph McCarthy from Wisconsin.
00:49:00.000There was some truth to what McCarthy was talking about.
00:49:02.000It's an unpopular thing to say, but McCarthy was worried about an infiltration of our values and our systems from a Marxist totalitarian nature.
00:49:43.000Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
00:49:47.000Goal 22, continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression.
00:49:54.000As an American totalitarian cell was once told to, quote, eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings.
00:50:00.000Substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms, meaning put meaningless art in.
00:50:09.000Number 23, control art critics and directions of art museums.
00:50:14.000Goal number 24, eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them censorship.
00:50:22.000Number 25, break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and television.
00:50:35.000Number 26, promote homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as normal, natural, and healthy.
00:50:41.000Number 27, infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with social religion.
00:50:49.000Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a religious crutch.
00:50:55.000Number 28, eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in schools on the ground that it violates the principles of separation in church and state.
00:51:03.000Number 29, discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
00:51:14.000Number 30, discredit the American founders.
00:51:17.000Present them with selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the common man.
00:51:21.000Now, if you're just tuning in, I am reading from the congressional record of what the communists in 1963 aimed to do.
00:51:28.000I wonder if it's resonating with anything that's happening now.
00:51:31.000Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the big picture.
00:51:40.000Give more emphasis to history since the communists took over.
00:51:47.000Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of culture, education, social agencies, or welfare programs.
00:51:57.000Of course, this is one of my favorites.
00:52:00.000Infiltrate and gain control of big business.
00:52:27.000There's one that this one always gets me.
00:52:30.000What is the common through line of communist and Marxist countries?
00:52:36.000All of them must break the bond between parents and children.
00:52:40.000You know, it's the only one of the Ten Commandments with a promise in it: honor your mother and father so that you may live long and prosper in the land of which you are in.
00:52:52.000There's a reason why you ever hear the phrase mother Russia before.
00:52:56.000It's because Russia came in and they said, Your true mother is the nation, is the state, is the government, not your actual parents.
00:53:03.000Orwell famously wrote in 1984 that parents were afraid of their children.
00:53:10.000So, as you see here, number 40, discredit the family as an institution.
00:53:17.000And if only we had a website, BLM Incorporated, that says, quote, they want to destroy the Western prescribed nuclear family.
00:53:25.000We're playing in their game, everybody.
00:53:27.000This is their game, their rules, their goals, their aims, their desires.
00:53:34.000I think it's very telling to actually look through this list and see it.
00:53:38.000So, the question is: what do we do about it?
00:53:40.000Well, part of what we're doing is this program in the show because truth and information and knowledge is one of the few things we have on our side.
00:53:53.000However, as Aristotle famously said, you can have integrity, truth, joy, compassion, but without courage, none of those other things actually matter.
00:54:02.000Courage is the value that ties all those other virtues together.
00:54:08.000And this is going to go down as when historians write about the 2020s, they're going to either write one of two things: that the American generation that benefited so much from this promise and this experiment decided to do nothing or little when it mattered most.
00:54:26.000That's what historians are going to write 50 years from now, because that's basically what it's coming down to.
00:54:31.000The people that have benefited so dramatically and so tremendously are basically most are saying, you know what?
00:55:11.000But the people are actually still with us, which goes to show how bad their ideas are.
00:55:14.000The fact they have not been able to dominate the American psyche shows that their ideas are actually really unpopular and immoral when they're implemented.
00:55:22.000The fact that there is now a push to reopen the country and not stay locked down is a very positive thing.
00:55:29.000Now, our leaders are doing everything they possibly can to not make this happen.
00:55:34.000There are people right now in the hill country of Texas, where I guarantee you you guys are dealing with this running the restaurant, where people are like, I'm getting unemployment stimulus checks.
00:55:43.000Do you know that at McDonald's in Orlando, Florida, they're paying you $50 to show up for an interview?
00:55:50.000Just for the interview, $50, cash, and they still can't find enough workers.
00:55:55.000The leaders are doing everything they can to try and destroy something very simple, which is earned success and deferred gratification and responsibility in our country.
00:56:09.000And the fact that they have not been able to win totally yet should give everyone credit.
00:56:15.000But you see, cut 60 right here, number 60.
00:56:19.000Discredit the American founders, present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the common man.
00:56:26.000Why should we be more interested in American history?
00:56:30.000Because it's actually built into our human nature and into who we are as citizens to care about how we got here.
00:56:43.000If you have no connection to how you got here, then why even preserve this nation at all?
00:56:49.000Says here, number 29, discredit the American Constitution, calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, and a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
00:57:02.000So these fights that we get into over whether or not the statue should be taken down, whether or not we should have prayer in schools, these are all ones that they realize are actually binds that tie us all together.
00:57:14.000So here's what I submit: no more playing defense.
00:57:17.000No more saying that America is not a racist country.
00:57:20.000Instead, we should say, we're the most benevolent, open-minded country ever to exist.
00:57:23.000And if you don't agree with that, you're the bigot.
00:58:42.000How they treated him was so morally reprehensible.
00:58:45.000Allowing Uncle Tim to trend on Twitter, which is a racial insult towards black Americans.
00:58:51.000Of course, Twitter gets away with that, but they don't even allow the most minor conservative trend to spread on Twitter.
00:58:59.000Gain control and key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
00:59:05.000Have you seen a television show that is not filled with not-so-subtle leftist propaganda?
00:59:10.000Have you seen what your children are watching on Disney Plus?
00:59:15.000Nickelodeon just released a seven-minute video on how oil and gas and natural development, development of our resources, environmental racism, and we have to keep it all on the ground.
00:59:54.000The parents rising up in Vail, Colorado, that parent who spoke out in Florida, Ron DeSantis, other governors following suit, the governor of Oklahoma, who's about to sign into the bill of critical race theory.
01:00:05.000And Ron DeSantis today just came out and he said, I will sign a bill that protects female sports, that says that men who think they are women are not allowed, our live audience likes that to compete in female sports.
01:00:21.000Put simply, conservatives got to be conservatives have to play offense and not apologize for it.
01:00:28.000They'll call you names and they'll smear you and they'll try to slander you, but do not allow them to take us off, reclaiming this country.
01:00:39.000Cut 147, Yuri Bezmanov, who was a Soviet agent, warning Americans: you guys have no idea what you're doing.
01:00:46.000You guys are happy idiots as the Soviets are taking you over.
01:00:50.000I know that espionage intelligence gathering looks more romantic.
01:00:54.000It sells more deodorants through the advertising, probably.
01:00:57.000That's why your Hollywood producers are so crazy about James Bond type of thrillers.
01:01:04.000But in reality, the main emphasis of the KGB is not in the area of intelligence at all.
01:01:11.000According to my opinion and opinion of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such.
01:01:23.000The other 85% is a slow process, which we call either ideological subversion or active measures, actini mirpriatia, in the language of the KGB, or psychological warfare.
01:01:36.000What it basically means is to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that, despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
01:01:58.000Cut 148, Yuri Bezmanov, Soviet dissident, says we need 15 to 20 years of patriotic education to reverse it.
01:02:06.000This is a Soviet guy who says it's going to take 15 to 20 years of a reinstallation of values.
01:02:33.000Because this is the minimum number of years which requires to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy, exposed to the ideology of the enemy.
01:02:47.000In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least three generations of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism, American patriotism.
01:03:01.000The result, the result you can see, most of the people who graduated in the 60s, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, educational system.
01:03:20.000In other words, these people, the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible.
01:03:27.000To get rid society of these people, you need another 20 or 15 years to educate a new generation of patriotically minded and common sense people who would be acting in favor and in the interests of the United States society.
01:03:48.000So what he's saying right there is that without patriotic education, the country is lost.
01:03:57.000And he says it takes 50 or 60 years to deteriorate a nation.
01:04:00.000We are right on that 60 years later right now.
01:04:04.000He called it, and he mysteriously died in Canada as he was a Soviet dissident.
01:04:08.000This guy was a Soviet dissident, Yuri Bezmanov, who is showing us the playbook, saying, this is what's happening to you.
01:04:13.000You have a wealthy, free nation, but it's going to take a couple generations.
01:04:17.000And right here, this is actually the 60-year mark since he has defected, right as he called it.
01:04:24.000So as we wrap this all together, understand the power of one person acting with truth and courage.
