00:03:04.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at AndrewandTodd.com.
00:03:13.000 We are going to have G Van Fleet join the program.
00:03:15.000 She's really special.
00:03:17.000 She warns about American Maoism.
00:03:21.000 We're living through that.
00:03:23.000 There are striking similarities between what Mao did in China and what the regime is doing here in America.
00:03:36.000 I think what Mao did is much closer than almost any other example and still is.
00:03:43.000 Remember, you are living through a cultural revolution.
00:03:49.000 It has not stopped.
00:03:51.000 15 days to slow the spread.
00:03:55.000 That was the beginning of the cultural revolution.
00:03:58.000 Top down, not bottom up.
00:04:00.000 Forced, synthetic.
00:04:02.000 Mike Pence takes the podium, and it wasn't Mike Pence's fault necessarily.
00:04:07.000 He was just the communique of the regime.
00:04:12.000 At that point forward, we have not had anything close to serenity, peace, a détente, a ceasefire.
00:04:23.000 Now, it has been nonstop at each other's throats, divided, demoralized.
00:04:28.000 America has become a far weaker country since then.
00:04:33.000 We are killing ourselves at much higher numbers.
00:04:35.000 The suicide rates are up like you wouldn't believe.
00:04:38.000 The alcohol rates, the drug addiction, the hopelessness, the despair.
00:04:42.000 From 15 days to slow the spread in March of 2020 to now, Thanksgiving of 2023, Thanksgiving week of 2023.
00:04:53.000 You've been living through a cultural color revolution, which started with COVID, then the 2020 election, then January 6th, then back to COVID.
00:05:05.000 Then, well, I forgot, of course, race riots.
00:05:07.000 How could I forget?
00:05:08.000 BLM laced in the middle of all of that.
00:05:10.000 So let me start all over.
00:05:11.000 15 days to slow the spread.
00:05:13.000 BLM, race riots, Antifa, mostly peaceful.
00:05:16.000 2020 election, January 6th, back to COVID.
00:05:21.000 Indictments going after Trump.
00:05:24.000 Ukraine going after Trump.
00:05:27.000 Lawfare.
00:05:28.000 It has not stopped.
00:05:30.000 They're trying to wear you down.
00:05:33.000 And every single one of these chapters in the cultural revolution is about the Marxist playbook of turning one against one another.
00:05:42.000 Oppressor versus oppressed, bourgeoisie versus proletariat, white versus black.
00:05:47.000 A very similar template is used.
00:05:50.000 Mao was not about unity.
00:05:55.000 Mao was instead about repressive tolerance.
00:06:00.000 If you disagree, you will disappear.
00:06:04.000 Mao incentivized children to turn in their parents.
00:06:11.000 Mao had 10 different categories.
00:06:15.000 Five for the communists, five for the fascists.
00:06:19.000 Five and five.
00:06:20.000 Free speech was not a value on Mao's China.
00:06:24.000 How could it be?
00:06:25.000 There was a short period of time where Mao said, okay, you can speak out.
00:06:30.000 And that ended rather quickly.
00:06:32.000 A cultural revolution is rare, very rare.
00:06:38.000 Mao famously said, let a thousand flowers bloom.
00:06:41.000 Then people criticized him, and so it went away.
00:06:45.000 A common left-wing tactic.
00:06:48.000 Free speech is incompatible with totalitarianism.
00:06:55.000 This is why they need to go after free speech on Twitter, go after Elon Musk on X, go after any semblance of people that speak freely.
00:07:04.000 As long as you can criticize and you can appeal to people's reason and communicate to the millions of the masses, as long as you could do that, then there's hope.
00:07:15.000 That's why the founding fathers knew that you needed to have an ability of the press, the ability to speak freely, the ability to assemble.
00:07:24.000 The Maoist playbook is to restrict any form of dissent, disagreement.
00:07:33.000 They'll call you a racist, a homophobe, a bigot, a transphobe.
00:07:38.000 There are two ways of governing society.
00:07:41.000 You can govern society using force or speech.
00:07:46.000 It's that simple.
00:07:48.000 Force or speech.
00:07:50.000 Maoist nations and one that we have been living through in the last three and a half years.
00:07:56.000 Isn't that hard to believe it's been three and a half years?
00:07:58.000 I remember exactly where I was when Mike Pence stepped up to the podium.
00:08:01.000 15 days to slow the spread.
00:08:03.000 Boom.
00:08:03.000 Ready, set, go.
00:08:04.000 That was the Lexington and Concord moment.
00:08:10.000 That was the shot heard around the world.
00:08:14.000 Joining us now is Xi Van Fleet.
00:08:17.000 Xi, welcome back to the program.
00:08:19.000 I hope you're doing well.
00:08:20.000 I've been talking about American Maoism.
00:08:22.000 As someone who knows Maoism very well, are you worried that America is becoming disturbingly Maoist?
00:08:28.000 Yes, I have said in my book: now what we're experiencing is Maoism with American characteristics.
00:08:35.000 Yes, no doubt about it.
00:08:37.000 So tell us about it.
00:08:38.000 Your book is Mao's America, a survivor's warning.
00:08:41.000 Build it out for us.
00:08:44.000 Yes, what I did in the book is to lay out the parallels of the two cultural revolutions.
00:08:50.000 One was Mao's cultural revolution that I lived through in China as a schoolgirl, and that was lasted 10 years.
00:08:57.000 That was pretty much my whole schooling.
00:09:00.000 And now, the American Cultural Revolution, I'm also living through with millions of Americans.
00:09:08.000 So they are of the same.
00:09:11.000 They are all Marxist cultural revolution and they have the same goal.
00:09:16.000 The goal is to destroy the traditional culture.
00:09:20.000 And in America, in China, it was Chinese civilization.
00:09:25.000 In America, it is the American funding.
00:09:27.000 And for what goal?
00:09:29.000 Grab power.
00:09:30.000 So tell us just more about your story and then some of the striking similarities that you've identified between Mao's China and here.
00:09:42.000 There's so much to go into.
00:09:43.000 We have you for the full hour.
00:09:45.000 So tell us more about your story.
00:09:48.000 Yes, I grew up in Mao's China when the cultural revolution started.
00:09:53.000 I was in first grade.
00:09:54.000 So I was too little to join the Red Guards.
00:09:58.000 And I believe that if I were just four or five years older, I will be part of the Red Guard.
00:10:03.000 God knows, I may just get killed in the process.
00:10:06.000 But I was old enough to remember everything because I watched everything.
00:10:13.000 Immediately after the Cultural Revolution was launched, school was closed.
00:10:17.000 Why?
00:10:18.000 Because the school administrators, principals, and teachers were all oustered by the kids.
00:10:25.000 In my case, elementary school kids oustered.
00:10:28.000 So school was closed.
00:10:30.000 And we had no school for two years.
00:10:33.000 In parts of China, it lasted for four years.
00:10:37.000 So I was able to, because there's nothing to do, and my parents were involved with the cultural revolution in their workplace.
00:10:45.000 I was able to go to the street and observe everything unfolding, which is chaos, absolute chaos.
00:10:53.000 Cancer culture of Red Guards destroy everything that they identify as old and traditional and the struggle sessions of those who they denounced as enemies of the state.
00:11:05.000 And that lasted about a year or so, and then it turned into total violence and it was no longer safe to go out.
00:11:14.000 And what the Red Guards did later, it's pretty much like a civil war.
00:11:20.000 And so in the end, when the Red Guards accomplished what Mao wanted them to do, Mao really had to get rid of them.
00:11:30.000 He used the military to suppress, meaning killed a lot of them and sent the rest to the countryside to get re-education by the peasants.
00:11:42.000 Wow.
00:11:43.000 There's so many striking similarities.

00:13:13.000 Mao's America, a survivor's warning, an inspiring survivor of Mao's cultural revolution in China, makes a passionate case that history is eerily repeating itself.
00:13:22.000 So tell us about the psychology of Mao.
00:13:24.000 Where did Mao learn totalitarian Marxism?
00:13:30.000 What were his influences?
00:13:31.000 Talk about the biography of Mao Setong.
00:13:34.000 Yeah, it is all from Russia.
00:13:36.000 Yeah, the Marxism came to China around the same time that it came to America.
00:13:44.000 And so it embraced by a group of and eventually elite students in Beijing University, the best university in China.
00:13:55.000 They embraced the ideology.
00:13:58.000 And so this Communist Party, Chinese Communist Party, was founded in 1921, two years after the Communist Party of USA, which was founded in 1919.
00:14:14.000 And then they got support, absolutely support from Russia and from Soviet Union and also from Committer, Communist International.
00:14:26.000 And so from that on, they had a struggle with the nationalist.
00:14:32.000 And eventually they were able to defeat the nationalist.
00:14:37.000 And in the process, America played a not so good a role.
00:14:42.000 And so that's something else.
00:14:45.000 That's a long history.
00:14:46.000 But anyway, so that's how communist took root in China.
00:14:53.000 How could Mao and his communist fellow communists do that?
00:14:59.000 They used the classic Marxist tactics.
00:15:02.000 They promised the peasants, which consists of about 90% of the Chinese population, follow me.
00:15:12.000 If you support my revolution, I'll get you free land.
00:15:16.000 And that was how they got the support of the peasants.
00:15:20.000 And that's how they won the revolution.
00:15:23.000 What motivated Mao in his story?
00:15:27.000 He seems to be just a very hard to pinpoint person.
00:15:31.000 Does he remind you of anybody in America?
00:15:34.000 I think to pinpoint to Mao is probably a mistake.
00:15:38.000 It's a group of them.
00:15:40.000 And Mao was a junior partner in the beginning.
00:15:43.000 But it's the group of intellectuals.
00:15:46.000 And that I can pinpoint.
00:15:48.000 That is in America today, we call it Baizhu, the white liberals.
00:15:54.000 So they have a group of them that they believe in.
00:15:57.000 This is something.
00:15:59.000 At first, I would really think that they believe this is something that can save China from the oppression of the imperialism and the feudalism and capitalism.
00:16:10.000 That's what they believe.
00:16:12.000 But eventually, it become a power struggle.
00:16:14.000 And Mao became the dictator.
00:16:17.000 Not after 1994, which they took power.
00:16:21.000 It was his power was solidified in Yan'an in the 30s, and he became the dictator.
00:16:28.000 So he became the face of Chinese communism, but he was just a face.
00:16:35.000 And what really is this group of people who absolutely believe in Marxism?
00:16:41.000 Yeah, having like this kind of cabal or a cartel, if you will, is really amazing.
00:16:48.000 Talk about, though, how misery creates the prerequisite for Marxism.
00:16:53.000 As China became destabilized, then a power vacuum occurred, which allowed Mao and his group of gangsters to take over.
00:17:03.000 Talk about that.
00:17:04.000 I think it connects to where America is headed.
00:17:07.000 Yes, it is, again, the promise, the promise of something better, the promise of something tangible, free land.
00:17:15.000 And so that's how they really won the revolution.
00:17:18.000 That's the first stage.
00:17:20.000 That is the classic Marxist revolution, use of violence to overthrow a sitting government, which is the nationalist government, which is now in Taiwan.
00:17:31.000 And that's part one of the revolution.
00:17:33.000 They succeeded.
00:17:35.000 And then Mao launched the cultural revolution that started in 1996, 1966, and lasted 10 years until his death.
00:17:46.000 That is a cultural revolution.
00:17:48.000 It's different, but it's the same thing.
00:17:50.000 It is to overthrow a government, a sitting government.
00:17:54.000 What is that?
00:17:55.000 That's his own government.
00:17:56.000 That is the CCP.
00:17:58.000 Why?
00:17:59.000 That is the story.
00:18:00.000 Power.
00:18:01.000 He feels like he was losing power over his own party, over his own government, and he has overthrown it.
00:18:08.000 This time, he did not need to use the military.
00:18:10.000 He has a better army.
00:18:12.000 Those are the tens of millions of young, indoctrinated students from elementary school to universities.
00:18:22.000 Those were his army, the Red Guards.
00:18:26.000 Are you tired of progressive companies and exhausted trying to keep up with all the virtue signaling when you're simply just trying to buy products?
00:18:34.000 Progressive corporate America continues to push messaging that further alienates conservative Americans, all while eroding the future of the American dream.
00:18:44.000 It's prominent all over the country.
00:18:45.000 Retailers like Target are selling chest binders and tuck-friendly bathing suits.
00:18:50.000 It's disgusting.
00:18:51.000 Starbucks is strong-arming their customers to support abortion.
00:18:54.000 The Starbucks Workers Union is on the side of Hamas.
00:18:59.000 Financial services like PayPal are canceling customers for their political views.
00:19:03.000 Thankfully, we don't have to fund these companies any longer with Public Square.
00:19:06.000 We have a solution.
00:19:07.000 Founded by Michael Sieffert, an amazing company.
00:19:10.000 I think so highly of them.

00:19:51.000 The book, it's very important.
00:19:54.000 It's Mao's America, The Survivor's Warning.
00:19:57.000 So, Xi, talk more about the Red Guard.
00:20:00.000 Who was involved in the Red Guard?
00:20:01.000 Who was the rank and file of the Red Guard?
00:20:04.000 It was mostly students, wasn't it?
00:20:06.000 Yes, absolutely.
00:20:08.000 It started in the most elite high school, middle school in Beijing.
00:20:14.000 And those were the most privileged kids.
00:20:19.000 They're all from, and their parents were the ones who belonged to the ruling class.
00:20:24.000 So they were the ones that started this idea of being Red Guards.
00:20:32.000 And then they got this name, and pretty soon it became viral.
00:20:39.000 And everyone adapted that name.
00:20:43.000 So it started in middle school, not even in university.
00:20:49.000 And immediately the caught on fire and all over the country.
00:20:54.000 And the kids just called them Red Guards.
00:20:58.000 It's not really well organized.
00:21:00.000 All you need to do is put a badge over your arm and you have all the power.
00:21:04.000 Why?
00:21:04.000 Because Mao openly supported them.
00:21:07.000 And Mao also gave them all the power because he dismantled the criminal justice system.
00:21:16.000 There's a Mao's version of DFUN, the police.
00:21:19.000 The police were told they could not go to campuses.
00:21:22.000 And that's where the violence took place initially.
00:21:26.000 And they were told if the Red Guards hit you, you are not allowed to hit back.
00:21:31.000 So with that little badge over their arms, they had all the power, the power to destroy, the power to abuse, the power eventually to kill.
00:21:42.000 And the first killing took place by the Red Guards was in Beijing's another girls, very prestigious girls' middle school.
00:21:52.000 The group of girls, as young as 12, as old as 16, beat and abused and tortured and eventually killed their assistant principal.
00:22:05.000 After that, no consequence.
00:22:08.000 No consequence.
00:22:09.000 Eventually, killing become the common place.
00:22:13.000 There's this very famous picture of thousands of Red Guard members with the badge, and they're holding up the little red book.
00:22:21.000 What is the little red book, Zhi?
00:22:23.000 Yeah, the little red book is a little book with all sorts of out of context of Mao's quotes.
00:22:30.000 That's all.
00:22:31.000 It's quotes from different speeches or different writings.
00:22:35.000 And so that was our Bible.
00:22:38.000 And everyone had a copy.
00:22:41.000 And so me too.
00:22:43.000 In my family, we have several copies.
00:22:46.000 In a time when all books are burned and banned, and there's nothing to read, every household had multiple copies of Mao's Little Red Book.
00:22:55.000 And that really was our Bible.
00:22:58.000 It was your Bible.
00:22:59.000 So who actually composed it?
00:23:01.000 Was Mao and his gangsters?
00:23:03.000 Did they put it together?
00:23:04.000 No, Lin Biao.
00:23:05.000 Lin Biao.
00:23:06.000 And he is a handpicked successor later.
00:23:11.000 And later, you know, the story that he become, he had wanted to stage a coup, but it failed.
00:23:20.000 And he escaped to Russia, but his plane was shut down by the CCP.
00:23:26.000 So there's the story.
00:23:28.000 So let me ask you, there's a picture here, and it just kind of came to me.
00:23:31.000 So there's another famous picture of Mao surrounded by the Red Guard members with the book.
00:23:39.000 Are some of the Red Guard members now running the CCP in China?
00:23:44.000 Absolutely.
00:23:45.000 And a lot of them, killers, I mean killers in the United States enjoying their American dream.
00:23:52.000 And yet their victims were just nothing, nothing.
00:23:57.000 They just died in vain.
00:23:58.000 That is a problem.
00:24:00.000 That is a problem because the atrocity in the cultural revolution was never, never addressed.
00:24:07.000 Just let go, forget.
00:24:09.000 And today, if you ask the young kids, none of them know anything about cultural revolution.
00:24:15.000 If they know anything, they were taught that was an anti-corruption movement.
00:24:21.000 And they know nothing about the KMN Square massacre, by the way.
00:24:25.000 No, of course not.
00:24:26.000 So there were five black categories, landlords, rich farmers, counter-revolutionaries, bad influencers, and right-wingers was one of them.
00:24:37.000 Right, yeah.
00:24:38.000 That sounds like America.
00:24:40.000 Yes.
00:24:41.000 The lefties are called revolutionary lefty masses.
00:24:46.000 And the right is the enemy of the state.
00:24:49.000 And so that was in the writing.
00:24:53.000 Yeah.
00:24:54.000 To think, to be a white winner is to be the enemy of the state and punishable by imprisonment and death.
00:25:04.000 And how many people do you think were killed in the Cultural Revolution, or at least in the famous purge of Red August?
00:25:14.000 The Red August in Beijing alone, the number, the official number was 1700.
00:25:21.000 And that is Beijing alone.
00:25:24.000 And that is the official number.
00:25:26.000 So people, there's all sorts of numbers, but a lot of estimated up to 20 million died during the Cultural Revolution.
00:25:36.000 And not everyone was killed by the Red Guards.
00:25:40.000 The Red Guards later started to kill themselves.
00:25:43.000 So it is absolutely out of control.
00:25:45.000 Here's the thing.
00:25:46.000 Mao thought he can launch this chaos, grab the power, and then he can just call it a quit and everybody go home.
00:25:56.000 But of course, it's not the case.
00:25:58.000 It's out of control.
00:26:00.000 Out of control so much that it become pretty much like a civil war.
00:26:04.000 And that's what's happening here, happening here in America.
00:26:08.000 The left thought they can control the woke movement, but right now we can see that's out of control.
00:26:16.000 Walk us through some of the details of what a struggle session was.
00:26:21.000 Yeah, struggle session is basically denouncement of someone and it's a public.
00:26:27.000 It cannot be just, you know, denounce someone in paper and then or in words.
00:26:32.000 No, it has to be a public trial.
00:26:35.000 And but public struggle session is more than that.
00:26:40.000 Struggle session is a way of life for us and it's called criticism and self-criticism.
00:26:46.000 As a kid, I went through the milder form of struggle session, which was group of kids in a classroom.
00:26:53.000 We will read something from Mao's little red book and we will start to denounce ourselves by comparing what we have been doing, not match up to what Mao wanted us to do.
00:27:06.000 And so we criticize ourselves and the other people join in and criticize yourself and then we go around and round.
00:27:13.000 So it's you're denouncing other people, you're denouncing yourself.
00:27:17.000 And that has been really a way of life.
00:27:20.000 And given the cultural revolution, that was, of course, a bigger, more intensified struggle, self-criticism and criticism that is put someone on stage, someone being denounced, and everyone join in and denounce this person.
00:27:39.000 And that is the beginning.
00:27:42.000 Eventually, they start to abuse those people and there's many, many killed right on the spot.
00:27:49.000 What do you see in America that is eerily similar to struggle sessions from Mao's China?
00:27:56.000 That's DEI training.
00:27:57.000 That is the criticism and self-criticism.
00:28:00.000 That is exactly what it is.
00:28:04.000 And then people were asked, my neighbor told me that in her workplace, they were taught to really go inward and find out the moment, even if it's just a flashing thought that you can consider racist.
00:28:18.000 That's exactly what we did.
00:28:19.000 We have to go inward and find every thought that was not correct.
00:28:24.000 And then we have to criticize it.
00:28:26.000 We have to share with the group and then group join in and criticize it.
00:28:29.000 That is DEI training is struggle session.
00:28:34.000 And as someone who lived through it, you must just be so irritated, upset, yet motivated to try to educate Americans that they're bringing this evil and toxic ideology to the states.
00:28:49.000 Yeah.
00:28:50.000 It was heartbreaking, heartbreaking for me to see such nonsense, such just evil nonsense were being accepted, embraced by people.
00:28:59.000 Why?
00:29:00.000 Because communism, Marxism is also deceptive.
00:29:05.000 I always tell you the goal of what they do is to help, to help and bring about justice and to help the so-called marginalized, oppressed people.
00:29:15.000 And that's why there are so many Americans know nothing about the history of communism, know nothing about the Chinese cultural revolution, to fall for it.
00:29:25.000 And that's why I feel so passionate to educate the Americans that this is history repeating.
00:29:32.000 Once you know what that the same thing has been happening in communist countries, especially in China, you can recognize it.
00:29:41.000 But people can't recognize it because they don't know history.
00:29:45.000 They don't know history because it's by design.
00:29:50.000 Christmas is here, everybody.
00:29:51.000 And that means that you might have to be moving boxes or just it's tough, a lot of stress.
00:29:56.000 And that means inflammation increases.

00:31:01.000 G, I want to ask you, and of course, your book is amazing, Mao's America, how do we beat these communists?
00:31:07.000 You grew up in it.
00:31:08.000 You're seeing them grow in power here in the West.
00:31:11.000 How do we beat the commies?
00:31:13.000 I think the first thing is to understand it.
00:31:16.000 And the first thing is to really know what communism is all about and what a Marxist cultural revolution is all about.
00:31:25.000 That is to learn history.
00:31:27.000 And my book help you with that, with help Americans to understand what it is that a cultural revolution is and what it does and what is the goal.
00:31:38.000 So that's the first step.
00:31:40.000 You don't understand, as you always say, if you don't understand something, you cannot fight against it.
00:31:46.000 So, the first thing is understanding and then expose it and use your circle of influence and help people to understand it.
00:31:56.000 And to share, if you read the book, share it.
00:31:59.000 And then the next is you have God involved.
00:32:02.000 You can't just sit there and be a couch activist.
00:32:05.000 You have to get involved.
00:32:07.000 I have to say, I have been really not participating in the political process because coming here, I thought I left the communism behind me and I will live happily ever after in America.
00:32:23.000 But it took me a long time to understand that the freedom that we enjoy is only one generation away from disappearing.
00:32:31.000 It takes every one of us to stand up and defend it.
00:32:35.000 That's when I started to get involved and participating in the political process after seeing the full-blown Marxist revolution in 2020.
00:32:47.000 And I got involved with the local Republican committee and other Republican organizations.
00:32:54.000 That's how I got to go to the school board.
00:32:57.000 And that's how I got involved.
00:32:59.000 And then found myself by accident on this national spotlight.
00:33:05.000 But now I take it as my mission to educate Americans.
00:33:09.000 I love that.
00:33:10.000 And you're kind of leading me to something.
00:33:13.000 The first, I mean, there's a lot of issues that we can vote on and discuss, but your first vote should be an anti-communist vote, shouldn't it, G?
00:33:22.000 I mean, that should be the first thing.
00:33:23.000 Absolutely.
00:33:24.000 Can you talk about that?
00:33:24.000 Like, all this other stuff, abortion, like we have opinions on it.
00:33:27.000 How about let's combine the decent Americans to have a largest anti-communist voting bloc in the history of the country?
00:33:36.000 Yes.
00:33:36.000 Right now, my audience are mostly conservatives, and people say you should go to the other side.
00:33:42.000 Yes, I would.
00:33:43.000 I would.
00:33:43.000 But I think it is important that the conservatives understand the issue.
00:33:49.000 Many, many of them do not understand.
00:33:52.000 They still treat the left as the old left.
00:33:55.000 They just gone crazy.
00:33:57.000 No, they become communist.
00:33:59.000 So I think it's not enough to be a conservative.
00:34:02.000 It is almost important to call yourself anti-communist.
00:34:07.000 And how do you do that?
00:34:09.000 First of all, you have to understand what communism is all about.
00:34:13.000 What we are experiencing right now is no less than a complete communist takeover of America.
00:34:23.000 They are close, aren't they?
00:34:24.000 G?
00:34:25.000 I mean, just the final thought.
00:34:26.000 I mean, how close are they to finishing the cultural revolution similar to Mao?
00:34:31.000 It's very close.
00:34:33.000 Why?
00:34:33.000 Because we can see generations of young people and middle-aged people already have adopted this worldview that that view is Marxism.
00:34:44.000 They see everything through the lens of oppressor and oppressed.
00:34:47.000 That's their how they decide who is a victim and who is the enemy.
00:34:54.000 And then they just don't need to think anymore.
00:34:57.000 And that's what we are dealing with.
00:34:59.000 People no longer think.
00:35:01.000 Those people that we see on the streets, BMM, and transgender ideology, and now Hamas, they don't think.
00:35:09.000 They just react because they no longer can think.
00:35:13.000 They have that lens over them.
00:35:15.000 So our battle is to deprogram them seriously, deprogram, just like Clinton, Hillary Clinton said.
00:35:25.000 We have deprogrammed them so that we teach them and the American values.
00:35:30.000 That's how we're going to win the war.
00:35:32.000 That's right.
00:35:32.000 G. Van Fleet, your book is so important.
