00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast, another shooting in Atlanta this time.
00:00:05.520 They burned a Wendy's down, which is always a good reaction to almost anything. 0.93
00:00:10.060 We have the details on that, what you should know.
00:00:13.000 Also, Pat Gray joins us, first of all, to tell us about, you know, Spongebob being gay,
00:00:18.220 but also to give us chocolate peanut butter cookies, which are amazing from scrumptiouscookie.com.
00:00:23.780 Then, as well as we get into Chaz. 0.94
00:00:26.960 Yes, it's Chaz or Chop.
00:00:29.320 The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, which they're trying to change the name of now.
00:00:35.300 What is the deal there?
00:00:37.200 There's a man who lives there.
00:00:39.280 He's fearing for his life.
00:00:41.480 It is a very, very tenuous circumstance.
00:00:44.940 We get into that with Elijah Schaefer later on in the program.
00:00:48.100 He was there.
00:00:48.700 He's got all sorts of videos.
00:00:49.640 The ones you're seeing going viral came from Elijah Schaefer, most likely.

00:01:19.940 Here's the podcast.
00:01:31.000 Let's start with Atlanta.
00:01:36.140 First of all, if you listen to Stacey Abrams, here's what she had to say.
00:01:43.080 Activists are necessarily calling into question what's actually being done.
00:01:47.840 And what I would say is that there is there's a legitimacy to this anger.
00:01:52.620 There's a legitimacy to this outrage.
00:01:54.600 A man was murdered because he was asleep in a drive through.
00:01:58.320 And we know that this is not an isolated occurrence.
00:02:02.440 We also know that a man taking a taser from a police officer in Pennsylvania resulted in his arrest.
00:02:08.180 But because this person was black, it resulted in his death. 0.98
00:02:11.180 Those are conversations that have to be had, not only through speeches, but through the decisions made by budget allocations.
00:02:18.480 And I think that's the next conversation we have to have.
00:02:20.880 So Stacey says that this gentleman who I've watched the video of, and I feel, I mean, strangely bad for everybody involved in this one.
00:02:36.120 But she says that Rashard Brooks died because he was asleep at a Wendy's.
00:02:43.240 No, that's not why he died.
00:02:46.040 He didn't die because he was asleep at a Wendy's.
00:02:48.960 He was asleep and drunk, intoxicated at a Wendy's.
00:02:55.220 But that's not why he died either.
00:02:58.560 He was drunk.
00:03:00.580 He was asleep at a Wendy's.
00:03:02.740 It took the police officer about, I don't know, 30 seconds to rouse him.
00:03:08.020 And then he was a little incoherent.
00:03:10.900 Then he was a delightful person.
00:03:12.600 He pulled his car over and he was a really nice guy.
00:03:15.500 He seemed great.
00:03:17.640 Didn't seem like a problem.
00:03:19.300 Talked about his mother.
00:03:20.660 He said he was visiting his mom's grave earlier.
00:03:23.520 It was, you know, her anniversary of her death.
00:03:26.340 I think it was his daughter's birthday a couple of days before and the police were really good to him.
00:03:33.620 Nice.
00:03:34.360 Very polite.
00:03:36.020 Everything was going fine.
00:03:38.060 He agreed to take a breathalyzer because he he smelled of alcohol and was was legally drunk.
00:03:46.900 He passed the sobriety test when he walked the line.
00:03:51.140 At least it looked like it to me.
00:03:53.160 Then the police officer who was called in to investigate for sobriety came in and said, look, you don't have to take this breathalyzer, but I'm asking you if you will.
00:04:02.780 He said, fine, I'll take it.
00:04:04.160 So he took it.
00:04:05.320 He failed.
00:04:07.320 He's then put under arrest.
00:04:09.280 And when they when they put the handcuffs on him or try to, he begins to resist arrest.
00:04:17.420 This is why he's dead today.
00:04:21.140 I don't know if if this is something that maybe I was just taught and others just kind of miss this lesson.
00:04:30.700 But don't resist arrest.
00:04:33.780 If they are arresting you, you're going to have to go to jail and you will sort it out.
00:04:40.640 You'll make your phone call and you'll sort it out.
00:04:43.420 If you are resisting arrest, chances are something bad is going to happen.
00:04:49.460 Am I the only one that was taught this?
00:04:53.080 Something bad is going to happen.
00:04:55.540 So what happens?
00:04:57.760 Well, he resists arrest and they keep saying to him, stop fighting, stop resisting, stop, stop.
00:05:05.320 Now, they're on top of him, two of them.
00:05:08.100 I don't know how this guy bested the two of them, but he did.
00:05:13.700 And as he's rolling over and on top of him, he grabs the stun gun and he takes it away from the officer.
00:05:24.180 The officer immediately says he has my taser.
00:05:27.760 He starts to run.
00:05:29.760 The other cop is running after him.
00:05:33.680 Rashad turns around and shoots the taser at the cop.
00:05:38.620 All right.
00:05:39.520 Well, now you're in a whole different ballgame.
00:05:42.260 Now you're not only resisting arrest, but you are now trying to take down another cop.
00:05:48.820 Yes, it is with a taser.
00:05:50.840 That cop goes down and he says he's got my taser.
00:05:55.400 That's when the other cop draws his gun and shoots, which I would imagine is standard procedure for somebody who has a weapon, a police officer's weapon, because you don't know what's going to happen.
00:06:12.020 When when officer is down, the fear is if an officer is down somehow or another, he'll go down and grab the gun of the police officer.
00:06:22.260 And then the other officer is done.
00:06:24.480 There was no reason for this to happen.
00:06:30.020 Absolutely no reason for this to happen.
00:06:34.100 This guy was drunk.
00:06:35.940 You roll the dice when you're drunk driving.
00:06:38.860 I don't I mean, you roll the dice with your life and everybody else's life as well.
00:06:46.260 But you also roll the dice that you're going to be stopped and you're going to be arrested.
00:06:53.120 Don't drive drunk.
00:06:56.420 How is it that everybody is upset about this?
00:06:59.200 But where are where's where's the mothers against drunk driving? 1.00
00:07:02.880 Here's a guy who is driving drunk.
00:07:06.120 Violation number one.
00:07:09.520 Violation number two.
00:07:10.800 He resisted arrest.
00:07:13.160 Violation number three.
00:07:14.740 He grabbed the officer's stun gun.
00:07:18.580 Violation number four.
00:07:19.820 He fired it at an officer.
00:07:25.220 What are you going to do?
00:07:27.580 What are you going to do?
00:07:28.560 He shot him in the back.
00:07:29.920 Yeah, he did, which I don't like.
00:07:34.420 But if you watch the video, it all went down from the time he has the stun gun to the time he's down is what?
00:07:43.020 Three seconds.
00:07:46.400 From the time the officer goes down to the time that Rashad is is shot is about a second.
00:07:54.420 Now, I can sit here in my studio and I'm in the comfort of air conditioning and it's beautiful and I'm not panicked and I watch the video and I think, well, I don't know if I would have done.
00:08:06.080 Well, I don't know if I would have done that.
00:08:09.040 I don't think I would have.
00:08:10.920 I don't know.
00:08:12.420 No, and I don't think I would have.
00:08:18.620 I wasn't the one with adrenaline pumping.
00:08:20.980 I wasn't the one that was in the situation.
00:08:23.680 I wasn't in.
00:08:24.600 I wasn't the one who had my life at stake and my fellow officers life at stake.
00:08:29.920 I don't know.
00:08:34.780 See, this is the problem.
00:08:37.160 We have so convinced ourselves that we are just horrible human beings, that we're just a horrible nation and we have horrible cops.
00:08:47.220 And it's not it's not unusual.
00:08:49.500 This is this is normal.
00:08:51.220 This is normal.
00:08:52.060 You've been told you have been bad for the last, what, 12 years?
00:08:59.600 You've been told at least for 12 years over and over and over again. 1.00
00:09:06.140 Your country sucks. 1.00
00:09:08.360 You're racist. 1.00
00:09:10.180 You're a sexist. 1.00
00:09:11.440 You're a misogynist. 1.00
00:09:13.260 You're a homophobe. 1.00
00:09:15.260 You're a killer. 1.00
00:09:17.860 And the whole time you've been saying, no, I'm not. 1.00
00:09:21.280 No, I'm not.
00:09:22.060 We don't we don't profess who we are enough.
00:09:31.120 I don't want to get all California hippie on you, but my my father was a practitioner.
00:09:40.000 Of my father was a practitioner of something called the Church of Religious Science, and it wasn't it's not Christian science.
00:09:51.120 It's it's actual science science.
00:09:54.420 And and they look at God.
00:09:57.840 And my father said to me once.
00:09:59.040 I said, can we talk about God for a second, Dad?
00:10:02.660 I want to understand what you believe.
00:10:03.960 And he said, sure.
00:10:04.920 But the first thing we have to do is not use the word God.
00:10:07.140 And I said, what?
00:10:08.280 What kind of dope smoking hippie kind of what are you talking about? 0.90
00:10:12.560 And he said that the word itself.
00:10:15.680 He said, I believe in God, but the word itself has too many connotations.
00:10:20.340 It has too many of your own personal beliefs wrapped around that word.
00:10:26.940 He said, so if we really want to understand it, we have to start on neutral territory.
00:10:32.660 And so he said, what's first cause?
00:10:35.400 Well, I don't what are you talking about?
00:10:37.820 He said, what is Big Bang may have happened, may not have happened.
00:10:40.980 But if it did, what lit the fuse?
00:10:45.100 What?
00:10:46.040 Who put the fuse there?
00:10:48.540 Who made the matches?
00:10:51.000 That's God.
00:10:52.160 That's when you're talking first cause.
00:10:54.960 That's the unknown.
00:10:56.880 That's God.
00:10:58.980 Okay, okay.
00:11:01.460 The idea behind his philosophy was the great I am.
00:11:07.980 And the great I am is the name of God.
00:11:13.700 I am that I am.
00:11:14.700 That's what the burning bush told Moses.
00:11:16.920 Who shall I say?
00:11:17.560 Send me.
00:11:17.860 I am that I am.
00:11:20.440 I am are the two most powerful words ever spoken.
00:11:26.060 Because that's how God creates.
00:11:28.260 He speaks and it becomes.
00:11:31.180 And don't take the Lord thy God's name in vain.
00:11:34.460 I don't think that means don't swear.
00:11:36.460 I think that his name is I am.
00:11:39.420 Look in your scriptures.
00:11:40.620 They're always capitalized and they're in red.
00:11:44.940 I am.
00:11:47.200 I am what?
00:11:48.420 Understand that the brain doesn't process negatives to everything that is creative in your brain.
00:11:58.480 It's just create.
00:11:59.760 It just creates.
00:12:00.880 It doesn't decide what's good or bad.
00:12:03.560 You might.
00:12:04.860 But the brain doesn't.
00:12:07.220 The mind doesn't.
00:12:08.320 It just creates.
00:12:09.400 So if you're saying I am not a racist, we are not a racist country.
00:12:17.660 I am not these things.
00:12:19.980 It doesn't do anything but build the defense of I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
00:12:27.200 What are you?
00:12:29.000 What are you?
00:12:30.120 I am a good person.
00:12:32.220 I am an open person.
00:12:33.940 I am a person looking for unity.
00:12:36.700 I am a person that really loves everybody until they give me a chance to hate them.
00:12:43.440 I used to be a person that hated everybody unless you gave me a reason to love you.
00:12:48.940 Now I, I, and you know this if you've listened to me for a long time.
00:12:52.300 I'm a sucker for people because I see the best in them.
00:12:57.900 I want to believe they're going to be that person.
00:13:02.420 And they, you know, most times are not, unfortunately.
00:13:05.680 None of us are.
00:13:07.020 How many of us are the best person every time?
00:13:10.120 We've been told over and over again what a bad country we are. 0.53
00:13:15.120 What a, what a horrible group of people.
00:13:17.800 We're being told over and over that our cops are racist.
00:13:21.420 Our cops are not racist.
00:13:24.420 Our cops are heroes.
00:13:26.460 Our cops are the ones after 9-11 that we went and we shook the hands of.
00:13:31.160 Every time we saw a police officer, we said, thank you.
00:13:35.160 Every time.
00:13:38.380 Every time there is a problem in this nation,
00:13:42.400 the police are the ones who we end up saying,
00:13:45.900 gosh, you're a hero.
00:13:47.080 Thank you.
00:13:48.560 Thank you.
00:13:51.420 And somehow or another,
00:13:54.420 it feels as though the majority of people in this country are saying and questioning the cops,
00:14:02.960 are there bad?
00:14:03.480 Are there bad cops?
00:14:05.340 Yes, there are.
00:14:06.640 Yes, there are.
00:14:07.420 Is this guy in Atlanta a bad cop?
00:14:10.340 I don't know.
00:14:12.620 I know every time I see one of these shootings,
00:14:15.380 and this is different than Minneapolis.
00:14:17.600 Every time I see it,
00:14:19.120 I think to myself,
00:14:20.260 God, help me.
00:14:20.980 I wouldn't want to make that decision.
00:14:22.760 I don't know.
00:14:23.680 Was that procedure?
00:14:30.040 I don't know.
00:14:31.340 I wasn't a cop.
00:14:32.380 I'm not a cop.
00:14:33.240 I wasn't trained.
00:14:34.220 Do you want to make these decisions for the cops?
00:14:39.600 Did you see if you watch the footage of the body cam and don't,
00:14:44.780 you don't have an opinion on this unless you've watched the footage.
00:14:48.380 You might think you do,
00:14:50.320 but unless people say to you,
00:14:52.220 oh,
00:14:52.420 I've watched the whole thing.
00:14:54.020 Did you?
00:14:55.060 You watched all of it.
00:14:56.920 This is like three and a half minutes.
00:14:58.600 Edit it down.
00:14:59.340 It's like three and a half minutes.
00:15:00.400 Did you watch all of the three and a half minutes?
00:15:03.860 Okay,
00:15:04.240 then let's talk about it.
00:15:06.720 You don't have an opinion until you've watched the video.
00:15:10.080 And then when you've watched the video,
00:15:11.680 you're going to end up liking both sides.
00:15:14.840 You're going to like,
00:15:15.860 you're going to like Rashad.
00:15:19.520 And you're going to like the officer that first woke him up.
00:15:22.660 You're going to like him.
00:15:25.100 And then it turns.
00:15:26.280 What I thought out of this video was,
00:15:30.080 can you imagine being a cop?
00:15:31.560 There was no indication,
00:15:34.380 zero indication that this guy was going to be a problem.
00:15:38.060 Zero.
00:15:39.540 He was totally cool.
00:15:42.680 He was really a nice guy.
00:15:45.280 And then all of a sudden he just something flipped and he changed.
00:15:53.160 I don't know.
00:15:56.280 Where do we go from here?
00:15:59.500 I know. 0.95
00:16:00.300 Let's burn down a Wendy's.
00:16:02.800 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:16:07.680 Well,
00:16:08.960 Seattle's Capitol Hill autonomous zone.
00:16:13.180 Chaz,
00:16:14.080 which I think is shares son,
00:16:16.980 daughter.
00:16:17.820 I don't remember which,
00:16:19.580 but I think that's her.
00:16:20.980 I think that's his name.
00:16:22.180 Her name.
00:16:22.580 I'm honestly not trying to be offensive.
00:16:24.200 Born a boy.
00:16:26.780 Turned a girl. 0.78
00:16:27.640 Born a girl.
00:16:28.420 Turned a boy.
00:16:29.040 Which one was it?
00:16:30.260 Born a girl.
00:16:30.800 Turn a boy. 0.63
00:16:31.740 Still share.
00:16:33.680 Why am I talking about share?
00:16:35.200 I have no idea.
00:16:36.560 Born a girl.
00:16:38.020 I believe changed.
00:16:39.680 Turned a boy.
00:16:40.500 It's Chaz. 0.98
00:16:41.260 Yeah,
00:16:41.500 I guess.
00:16:41.900 Yeah,
00:16:42.020 again,
00:16:42.920 well,
00:16:43.220 Chaz,
00:16:43.640 I mean,
00:16:43.840 now it's just the name of a new country,
00:16:45.000 but back in the day,
00:16:46.460 I believe it was a boy's name.
00:16:48.300 All right.
00:16:48.820 Well,
00:16:48.980 they've begun reparations.
00:16:50.580 Stu,
00:16:51.140 you'll be happy to know white members of this, 0.99
00:16:56.400 this new republic.
00:16:57.820 And it's beautiful.
00:16:59.420 It's a summer of love have been told Friday night that they have to start giving black people at least $10 before leaving the area.
00:17:09.220 So they're there in the they're in like this park setting.
00:17:13.580 It's very,
00:17:14.200 very nice.
00:17:15.140 And I want you to find by the time you leave this area,
00:17:18.860 I want you to give $10 to one African-American person from this autonomous zone.
00:17:25.480 And if you think that's difficult,
00:17:27.780 well,
00:17:29.280 you think it's hard to give $10 to people of color, 0.98
00:17:31.960 to black people. 0.96
00:17:33.760 You'll have to think really, 0.96
00:17:35.300 really critically about it in the future.
00:17:37.240 Are you going to actually give up your power and your land and capital when you have it?
00:17:44.600 If you have a hard time giving up $10 and you'll have to think again,
00:17:47.680 are you really down with the movement?
00:17:50.240 Then he goes on to say,
00:17:51.280 white people,
00:17:52.260 I see you find an African-American.
00:17:54.720 I see you.
00:17:55.620 I see every one of you.
00:17:57.000 And I remember your faces.
00:17:58.620 Wow.
00:17:59.100 That sounds like a threat,
00:18:00.340 doesn't it?
00:18:01.820 Here he is actually giving the,
00:18:04.080 um,
00:18:05.260 actually giving the speech.
00:18:06.420 I think this is the leader of,
00:18:07.960 of Chaz.
00:18:09.880 Listen.
00:18:11.160 Okay.
00:18:12.200 I want you to find by the end,
00:18:15.100 by the time you leave this autonomous zone,
00:18:19.240 I want you to give $10 to one African-American person from this autonomous zone.
00:18:26.780 And if you find that's difficult,
00:18:30.520 if you find it's hard for you to give $10 to people of color, 0.81
00:18:35.520 to black people,
00:18:36.460 especially you have to think really critically about in the future,
00:18:40.320 are you going to actually give up power and land and capital when you have it?
00:18:45.560 If you're,
00:18:46.200 if you have a hard time giving up $10,
00:18:49.220 you got to think about,
00:18:50.400 are you really down with this struggle?
00:18:52.520 Are you really down with the movement?
00:18:55.240 Because if that is a challenge for you,
00:18:57.540 then I'm unsure if you're in the right place.
00:18:59.440 People are clapping.
00:18:59.940 So find an African-American person, 1.00
00:19:03.100 the white people.
00:19:03.820 I see you. 0.96
00:19:04.480 I see every single one of you.
00:19:07.020 And I remember your faces.
00:19:10.040 You find that African-American person and you give them $10. 0.87
00:19:14.560 Cash app,
00:19:15.760 Venmo,
00:19:16.740 $10 in your pocket.
00:19:18.540 That's my challenge to you.
00:19:21.300 Unreal.
00:19:22.020 You're doing it,
00:19:22.560 Stu?
00:19:23.060 Because I did it Friday.
00:19:24.480 I did it. 0.99
00:19:25.380 I think the solution to all racism is I'm just going to throw money at black people when they pass me. 1.00
00:19:31.060 If I think that's just, 0.97
00:19:32.000 just throwing balled up of bills will really solve the racism problem.
00:19:36.800 Good for you.
00:19:37.900 Buy your way out of it.
00:19:40.580 It's,
00:19:40.980 I mean,
00:19:41.580 wait until you see why.
00:19:43.860 I mean,
00:19:44.040 this is,
00:19:45.060 these people are Marxists.
00:19:47.160 And you notice he said,
00:19:48.460 are you,
00:19:48.760 if you can't give $10 now,
00:19:50.940 you're going to be able to give up your land and your capital?
00:19:54.060 No,
00:19:54.580 I,
00:19:55.220 I bought that land.
00:19:56.840 I,
00:19:57.060 I,
00:19:57.640 how dare you?
00:19:59.400 Listen to this guy.
00:20:01.200 Mr.
00:20:01.760 I own property.
00:20:04.140 This land is my land.
00:20:06.040 This land is your land.
00:20:07.520 Glenn.
00:20:08.260 This is the autonomous zone.
00:20:10.080 There is no more property ownership.
00:20:12.140 There's no private property whatsoever.
00:20:14.120 You need to understand the new world we're in.
00:20:17.060 Yeah.
00:20:17.540 By the way,
00:20:17.980 this land is your land.
00:20:19.000 This land is my land.
00:20:19.920 This land was made for you and me.
00:20:21.900 That is a Marxist song.
00:20:25.160 I just want to let you know,
00:20:26.340 written and performed by a Marxist.
00:20:30.280 So we also had a really interesting encounter with a street preacher.
00:20:36.760 He came in and he said that this was a,
00:20:40.120 this was a,
00:20:41.820 a Christ zone as well.
00:20:44.320 And that didn't go over well.
00:20:46.780 Um,
00:20:47.500 Elijah Schaefer and his cameraman were there,
00:20:50.120 uh,
00:20:50.980 on the streets.
00:20:51.900 And here's what happened.
00:20:53.940 Listen,
00:20:54.240 right with God.
00:20:56.060 Right with God.
00:21:00.660 You're joking me around the back.
00:21:01.860 You're not.
00:21:02.700 You don't have to push yourself.
00:21:03.960 You had this around here.
00:21:05.900 Is this a hug? 0.88
00:21:07.560 Put your throat in here.
00:21:08.660 It's a hug, 0.80
00:21:09.200 buddy.
00:21:09.600 This is a hug.
00:21:10.540 This is a very forceful hug.
00:21:12.360 Yeah.
00:21:12.480 It's a love hug.
00:21:16.100 Yeah.
00:21:19.920 Lord Jesus,
00:21:21.020 give me strength for the back. 0.98
00:21:22.620 What does it feel like to get hugged by a homosexual? 1.00
00:21:25.020 What does it feel like to get hugged by a homosexual? 1.00
00:21:31.120 Glory to the king. 1.00
00:21:33.600 I'll kiss you on the face,
00:21:34.560 buddy.
00:21:35.120 Glory to the king eternal.
00:21:36.400 So they forcibly held him down and then they kissed him.
00:21:42.680 Uh,
00:21:43.040 then they threw him down to the ground.
00:21:45.600 Um,
00:21:46.180 and,
00:21:46.820 uh,
00:21:47.420 they,
00:21:47.860 somebody was kneeling on his back and his neck and he said,
00:21:51.280 uh,
00:21:52.120 I can't breathe.
00:21:52.960 I can't breathe.
00:21:53.580 Cause it started to get really ugly.
00:21:55.480 Uh,
00:21:55.960 finally,
00:21:56.400 somebody in some dreadlocks ran over and like,
00:21:59.200 what are you guys doing?
00:22:00.200 Stop it.
00:22:01.820 Um,
00:22:02.680 but,
00:22:03.300 uh,
00:22:03.740 that's good.
00:22:04.460 You know,
00:22:04.900 all of that,
00:22:05.440 that's been,
00:22:05.980 I think that's really been good.
00:22:08.500 Um,
00:22:08.820 and the Seattle residents love it.
00:22:11.620 Uh,
00:22:12.040 let me give you a,
00:22:13.360 a view from a Seattle resident living in Capitol Hill where they are inside of
00:22:20.000 Chaz. 0.90
00:22:20.720 Imagine this,
00:22:22.580 listen to what this and listen to how emotional this Seattle resident gets about
00:22:30.260 what's happening in Chaz.
00:22:32.060 Listen,
00:22:32.260 that I'm scared.
00:22:36.580 Like I've been scared every day since Sunday and,
00:22:38.960 um,
00:22:39.720 I haven't gotten a lot of sleep.
00:22:41.420 Uh,
00:22:41.860 cause for the first time in my life in Capitol Hill,
00:22:44.640 I hear gunshots every single night.
00:22:46.600 And I've heard people screaming every single night outside.
00:22:49.820 And,
00:22:50.340 uh,
00:22:51.260 they're not protest screams.
00:22:52.560 I've heard protest screams,
00:22:54.020 but I've also heard like screams of terror out there.
00:22:57.000 And I don't know what's happening out there.
00:22:59.120 And it's just,
00:23:00.100 that's rattling enough.
00:23:01.160 Just hearing the screams for the first time and not knowing what's going on.
00:23:04.120 Now he goes on to say,
00:23:09.160 um,
00:23:10.000 that he called the state.
00:23:12.940 He,
00:23:13.640 he talked about different things that he had seen,
00:23:16.580 um,
00:23:17.400 going on,
00:23:18.180 uh,
00:23:19.000 just from the windows,
00:23:20.400 uh,
00:23:21.060 from his house.
00:23:22.060 He said,
00:23:23.140 I am terrified to go outside.
00:23:25.080 This appears to be a younger guy.
00:23:27.500 We blurred his face.
00:23:29.080 Um,
00:23:29.560 so you can't tell,
00:23:30.740 I think the daily caller did this interview.
00:23:33.420 Um,
00:23:33.980 and,
00:23:34.860 uh,
00:23:35.920 but he appears to be a rather young guy.
00:23:39.680 Um,
00:23:40.240 and,
00:23:41.000 um,
00:23:42.640 and is,
00:23:43.940 is afraid and says his government,
00:23:46.140 he called the governor's office and said,
00:23:48.100 you got to stop this.
00:23:49.680 And the person said,
00:23:50.920 you know,
00:23:51.120 the governor's already spoken out on this.
00:23:52.640 And they said,
00:23:53.020 look,
00:23:53.260 can I just,
00:23:54.240 can I just talk to you as a human,
00:23:55.960 please?
00:23:57.160 Human to human.
00:23:59.000 Let me just say,
00:24:00.280 uh,
00:24:02.460 I'm afraid here.
00:24:04.880 And he broke down and started to cry.
00:24:07.020 And he said,
00:24:07.440 I don't,
00:24:08.180 the person at the cap at the Capitol,
00:24:11.180 the Washington Capitol said,
00:24:12.960 look,
00:24:13.420 I don't want to make this personal.
00:24:14.920 And he said,
00:24:15.760 but this is personal.
00:24:18.200 My government has abandoned me and I am afraid for my life.
00:24:24.320 And you're not coming to help.
00:24:28.420 When we,
00:24:29.140 you know,
00:24:29.200 when there are no police and when the government is corrupt and in bed with
00:24:34.060 those who are looting and stealing,
00:24:35.920 who do you go to?
00:24:38.780 No one.
00:24:40.200 You either die fighting or you are,
00:24:43.920 you're bending your knee.
00:24:45.900 So which one's it going to be America? 0.52
00:24:53.480 There is a development with the Supreme court.
00:24:55.700 We want to just,
00:24:56.720 uh,
00:24:57.320 take a quick sidebar and,
00:24:58.800 and,
00:24:59.220 uh,
00:24:59.540 get this development.
00:25:00.880 Stu.
00:25:01.780 Yeah.
00:25:02.060 Glenn,
00:25:02.340 a decision just came down,
00:25:04.100 uh,
00:25:04.500 from the Supreme court,
00:25:05.420 uh,
00:25:05.940 about a case for involving title seven.
00:25:08.480 Um,
00:25:09.100 the,
00:25:09.680 the,
00:25:09.700 uh,
00:25:09.920 the,
00:25:10.760 our argument was about gay and transgender rights.
00:25:13.220 The ruling comes down,
00:25:14.960 uh,
00:25:15.300 an employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates
00:25:20.060 title seven.
00:25:21.240 Uh,
00:25:21.720 as we know,
00:25:22.080 we have a extreme right-wing court who has now come out,
00:25:25.260 uh,
00:25:25.900 and come and decided this,
00:25:27.880 uh,
00:25:28.120 in this fashion,
00:25:28.940 uh,
00:25:29.100 a six to three ruling,
00:25:30.500 uh,
00:25:31.180 the liberals,
00:25:32.180 uh,
00:25:32.360 of course on one,
00:25:33.380 on the,
00:25:33.700 on the six side Roberts as well,
00:25:36.240 and,
00:25:36.680 uh,
00:25:36.780 written by Gorsuch.
00:25:38.000 Uh,
00:25:38.440 so that is the,
00:25:39.380 uh,
00:25:39.620 that is the,
00:25:40.320 uh,
00:25:40.640 ruling.
00:25:41.080 It was a six,
00:25:41.580 three.
00:25:41.980 There was several different,
00:25:42.960 uh,
00:25:43.260 dissenting opinions followed by,
00:25:44.680 followed by the other,
00:25:45.340 um,
00:25:46.440 uh,
00:25:46.800 justices,
00:25:47.420 but,
00:25:48.080 uh,
00:25:48.260 this is a six,
00:25:49.320 three ruling that says if you fire someone,
00:25:51.260 it says solely,
00:25:52.120 uh,
00:25:52.540 which,
00:25:52.960 you know,
00:25:53.520 I mean,
00:25:54.980 I don't think this is happening an awful lot,
00:25:56.700 uh,
00:25:57.040 but it has been a very,
00:25:58.320 um,
00:25:58.940 controversial thing and gay or transgender,
00:26:01.340 it's interesting to see how that would play out in a situation where,
00:26:04.060 you know,
00:26:05.260 um,
00:26:06.320 uh,
00:26:06.620 someone changing from male to female in a role that was designed for a male in the middle of that,
00:26:12.820 would you be able to change them to another job?
00:26:14.840 They would not be able to be fired based on this ruling,
00:26:17.680 however.
00:26:18.500 Uh,
00:26:18.740 so I'm not exactly sure how that goes.
00:26:20.860 Um,
00:26:21.380 but it's going to be,
00:26:22.480 it's going to be interesting for you to watch.
00:26:24.720 I got news for you.
00:26:26.020 If,
00:26:26.620 if Bert is my receptionist,
00:26:29.400 because I'm not a sexist,
00:26:31.620 but then you have to ask yourself,
00:26:32.960 yeah,
00:26:33.100 but you hired a man.
00:26:34.320 I mean,
00:26:35.020 was a woman not good enough for that job? 1.00
00:26:37.220 Oh,
00:26:37.480 I know.
00:26:37.880 I know.
00:26:38.340 It's,
00:26:38.680 it's a struggle,
00:26:39.220 but Bert is at the front desk and he's like,
00:26:41.900 Hey,
00:26:42.340 welcome to,
00:26:43.300 uh,
00:26:43.660 welcome to Beck's burgers.
00:26:46.200 And you're,
00:26:47.120 you know,
00:26:47.420 you're fine with Bert sounding like that.
00:26:49.980 Um,
00:26:50.500 and he comes in and he's dependable and everything else.
00:26:52.860 But the next day he comes in in a dress.
00:26:57.000 I'm Bertina.
00:26:58.840 And you'll be addressing me as Bertina.
00:27:01.680 And speaking of dress,
00:27:02.860 what do you think?
00:27:03.620 Is this color match my eyeshadow?
00:27:06.920 And you would have to have a conversation with Bert or Bertina and say,
00:27:12.240 um,
00:27:13.400 Bertina,
00:27:13.940 some fundamental things have changed.
00:27:16.260 Um,
00:27:17.460 and you now are not the first face.
00:27:21.760 I want my customers to see.
00:27:24.880 That's what you're saying.
00:27:26.280 I'm not lovely in a dress.
00:27:27.900 No,
00:27:28.240 you're,
00:27:28.400 you're not lovely in a dress.
00:27:30.380 Um,
00:27:31.120 and you're kind of,
00:27:32.400 you're,
00:27:32.900 you're spooking,
00:27:33.800 uh,
00:27:34.400 the customers,
00:27:35.600 uh,
00:27:36.080 and,
00:27:36.660 and that's great.
00:27:37.820 You could go do that someplace else where customers might expect you to be,
00:27:44.080 uh,
00:27:44.640 or wouldn't be,
00:27:45.880 you know,
00:27:46.260 shocked,
00:27:46.760 but at our Christian bookstore here,
00:27:50.480 uh,
00:27:52.320 people,
00:27:52.700 you're freaking people out.
00:27:54.260 I don't think there's a,
00:27:55.620 I don't think there's a reason,
00:27:57.080 uh,
00:27:58.880 to not side with the,
00:28:02.300 um,
00:28:02.860 with the business unless you're going to control every aspect of that business.
00:28:08.160 Well,
00:28:08.260 I mean,
00:28:08.480 this is my reputation.
00:28:09.820 You're arguing for hatred is what you're doing.
00:28:11.920 And that would be,
00:28:12.680 no,
00:28:12.840 I'm not.
00:28:13.400 They would say that,
00:28:14.200 you know what you,
00:28:14.860 well,
00:28:15.040 what you're saying is,
00:28:16.260 oh,
00:28:16.560 well,
00:28:17.160 the,
00:28:17.340 the transgender person at the front desk,
00:28:19.060 that's not normal.
00:28:20.260 So therefore you want to change it.
00:28:22.420 Well,
00:28:22.580 it is.
00:28:23.180 Let's,
00:28:23.460 let's,
00:28:23.860 can we just,
00:28:24.780 can we just say what is normal?
00:28:26.940 Let's define normal.
00:28:28.580 Uh,
00:28:29.660 because I hate that word normal.
00:28:31.020 What is normal?
00:28:32.800 Normal is something that you would see commonly.
00:28:35.160 It'd be natural.
00:28:36.680 It'd be commonplace.
00:28:37.900 Okay.
00:28:38.420 It's commonplace.
00:28:39.700 It is not commonplace to see a guy in a dress.
00:28:44.060 It's just not commonplace.
00:28:45.440 Now there are places where it is more common.
00:28:49.220 You know,
00:28:49.900 the inner city is more,
00:28:51.780 is more common to see a lot of things.
00:28:54.300 You know,
00:28:54.920 it's not commonplace in the urban city to see a cow.
00:28:58.360 Does that make cows bad? 1.00
00:29:01.080 No,
00:29:01.720 it just means it's out of place.
00:29:04.540 It's not normal for a cow to be wandering the streets of New York city. 0.63
00:29:08.700 How does this work the other day?
00:29:10.140 Other way,
00:29:10.660 Glenn?
00:29:10.900 Like if you,
00:29:11.860 um,
00:29:12.460 New York city,
00:29:13.580 there's a few famous places that are staffed completely by transgendered people who,
00:29:18.960 or,
00:29:19.080 or,
00:29:19.480 or cross dressers and such.
00:29:21.620 And that's part of,
00:29:22.700 that's the shtick of the restaurant.
00:29:23.700 Basically you go in there and everyone,
00:29:25.700 everyone's lucky chains.
00:29:27.100 Okay,
00:29:27.480 sure.
00:29:28.320 Um,
00:29:28.840 if one of their workers,
00:29:30.620 uh,
00:29:31.560 decided they,
00:29:32.580 you know what,
00:29:33.060 this whole drag queen thing, 0.99
00:29:34.300 not working out for me anymore.
00:29:35.320 I'm going to go the other way.
00:29:36.180 I just go back to wearing a suit.
00:29:37.180 Would they be able to be fired?
00:29:41.020 So I think in that case,
00:29:43.460 yes.
00:29:44.500 Um,
00:29:45.100 because you were specifically hired because you were,
00:29:49.840 um, 0.83
00:29:51.140 either a transgender or transvestite,
00:29:53.000 but you can't specifically hire someone for not being a transgendered or transvestite.
00:29:57.620 That's against the law.
00:29:59.160 So now,
00:30:00.840 well,
00:30:01.060 if you're,
00:30:01.620 if you're,
00:30:02.220 if your store was,
00:30:04.340 you know,
00:30:04.900 we're not transgender, 0.99
00:30:07.180 you know,
00:30:08.420 the,
00:30:08.580 the,
00:30:08.740 the restaurant is the shtick is,
00:30:11.340 I know,
00:30:12.360 but the,
00:30:13.000 the,
00:30:13.280 the shtick,
00:30:13.960 I'm actually standing up for the transgender person here.
00:30:16.300 I think,
00:30:16.920 I think you are,
00:30:17.640 I don't even know anymore.
00:30:18.180 I think you are,
00:30:18.660 but I think you're missing that.
00:30:19.900 They,
00:30:20.080 they can't,
00:30:20.780 you can't have that restaurant.
00:30:22.600 It would be illegal.
00:30:24.180 You can't have the,
00:30:25.560 we're not transgender restaurant.
00:30:26.940 That is exactly what this says.
00:30:28.640 You can't have it.
00:30:29.740 But I know,
00:30:30.740 but I'm saying you can have a,
00:30:33.080 I am trend. 0.80
00:30:34.100 We are transvestite.
00:30:35.820 I could transsexual. 0.82
00:30:36.920 Can you still,
00:30:37.620 you could.
00:30:39.760 Well,
00:30:40.380 why,
00:30:40.700 why?
00:30:42.140 See,
00:30:42.640 this is the problem with government getting involved.
00:30:45.740 If you want to have a, 0.66
00:30:47.580 all transvestite or no transvestite, 0.77
00:30:50.640 uh,
00:30:51.460 that's fine.
00:30:52.000 If you,
00:30:53.040 if you,
00:30:53.700 if you,
00:30:54.300 if you don't understand that the change you're making is a big deal and your employer might say,
00:31:02.900 I'm sorry,
00:31:04.540 Susan.
00:31:05.220 And I love you as Susan.
00:31:07.120 And I loved his Fred,
00:31:08.360 but I can't,
00:31:10.640 you,
00:31:11.880 I don't want you representing my company.
00:31:16.000 Why?
00:31:16.820 Because you hate,
00:31:17.480 no,
00:31:17.640 I don't,
00:31:18.300 I don't,
00:31:18.900 but I need every advantage that I can,
00:31:22.000 get and having somebody greeting our customers is,
00:31:26.960 is not necessarily the best,
00:31:30.020 smoothest transition for the mass population.
00:31:34.480 All right.
00:31:35.040 Back in just a second.
00:31:36.080 Boy,
00:31:36.360 is that full of hate speech?
00:31:37.540 Isn't it? 1.00
00:31:38.560 I should be executed. 0.99
00:31:42.180 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. 0.98
00:31:47.160 So Dinesh D'Souza is one of my favorite,
00:31:49.300 one of my favorite people on earth because he,
00:31:52.600 he truly gets it.
00:31:54.340 First of all,
00:31:54.740 he truly gets America because he grew up in India and he saw America from abroad.
00:32:01.080 And even with all of our flaws,
00:32:03.800 he stills,
00:32:04.760 even be,
00:32:06.000 even the fact that a former president had him jailed,
00:32:10.860 he still loves America.
00:32:14.340 Uh,
00:32:14.820 and he knows the system is good.
00:32:18.280 It's just full of a lot of bad people right now.
00:32:22.100 Uh,
00:32:22.700 and he's got a new book out called the United States of socialism,
00:32:27.320 uh,
00:32:28.560 and a new movie coming out called Trump card.
00:32:31.720 We're going to try to get to both of those,
00:32:33.220 uh,
00:32:33.660 this hour,
00:32:34.220 but United States of socialism is a great companion for arguing with socialists.
00:32:40.300 And in it,
00:32:41.820 he really makes the case,
00:32:43.440 um,
00:32:44.800 all the way through,
00:32:45.760 not just of,
00:32:46.960 of the flaws of socialism,
00:32:49.220 but how great America is.
00:32:51.920 And I want to start with,
00:32:53.540 uh,
00:32:54.060 Dinesh on,
00:32:55.160 um,
00:32:57.040 the,
00:32:57.620 and the,
00:32:58.800 the grocery store that you walked into when you first came to America.
00:33:04.340 Detail that experience,
00:33:06.040 would you?
00:33:06.340 I arrived Glenn in Arizona as a exchange student at the age of 17.
00:33:13.140 I lived with the host family and they were very eager to show me America.
00:33:17.780 And so they said,
00:33:19.180 we're,
00:33:19.600 we're planning a trip to the grand Canyon.
00:33:21.880 We're going to take you to tombstone,
00:33:24.340 Arizona,
00:33:25.000 the,
00:33:25.140 the,
00:33:25.520 the site of the gunfight at the okay corral.
00:33:28.220 They had all these sort of fights planned for me.
00:33:30.920 And I said,
00:33:31.660 guys,
00:33:31.920 I'd love to do all that.
00:33:33.100 But you know,
00:33:33.480 my idea of sightseeing is take me to a grocery store.
00:33:36.320 I mean,
00:33:37.180 I want to see the abundance of American life,
00:33:39.840 you know,
00:33:40.080 50 types of cheese and 25 types of ice cream.
00:33:43.820 I mean,
00:33:44.080 I,
00:33:44.280 I know the abundance of America and its availability to the ordinary man in
00:33:50.120 India,
00:33:50.580 as in many other countries,
00:33:51.640 the rich guy has an opulent enviable life,
00:33:54.720 but I think a country is judged by the kind of life it makes available to the
00:33:59.040 common man,
00:33:59.720 the ordinary fellow.
00:34:00.640 And I was always struck at how good the ordinary guy had it in America,
00:34:05.340 not just in terms of prosperity,
00:34:07.100 but also in terms of freedom.
00:34:10.800 So Dinesh,
00:34:11.840 first of all,
00:34:12.300 did you actually say that at 17 years old?
00:34:15.420 Well,
00:34:15.920 I did because it was,
00:34:17.560 that was the most striking thing to me.
00:34:19.320 I wasn't thinking politically.
00:34:20.740 I was just impressed at how smooth the roads were and how everything worked and how you
00:34:26.180 didn't have to pay people under the table for everything.
00:34:28.740 Remember I grew up in socialist India and the two things I remember the most about
00:34:33.940 socialism are one,
00:34:35.540 our family had a ration card and that meant that every month we could only buy so
00:34:40.100 much rice,
00:34:41.160 so much sugar,
00:34:42.260 so much cooking oil.
00:34:43.220 So I was used to India as a land of scarcity. 0.92
00:34:46.320 When I saw images of India as the begging bowl of the world,
00:34:49.960 I understood it.
00:34:50.780 That was the life around me.
00:34:52.720 The other thing was we,
00:34:53.700 my family was on a seven year wait to get a phone.
00:34:56.860 It seems hard to believe.
00:34:58.480 And I don't usually mention this because Americans look at me like I'm insane,
00:35:02.200 but that's life under socialism.
00:35:04.100 Some of the scarcities we glimpsed very briefly under coronavirus are a kind of nasty preview
00:35:11.020 of what things would be permanently like if India was,
00:35:15.560 if America fell under the spell,
00:35:17.660 if we became the United States of socialism.
00:35:19.820 So Dinesh,
00:35:23.000 India,
00:35:23.620 it's strange because India now has shaken off many of the chains of,
00:35:29.360 of socialism and have become much more capitalist society.
00:35:35.900 It still struggles,
00:35:37.420 but it is getting better.
00:35:38.780 And we are now starting to go where the rest of the world has discovered is nothing but abject poverty and failure.
00:35:49.140 How do you explain this?
00:35:51.660 This is really the puzzle.
00:35:53.780 I mean,
00:35:53.940 my wife is from Venezuela and our two countries,
00:35:56.200 India and Venezuela have moved in opposite directions.
00:35:58.740 Venezuela,
00:35:59.280 a once thriving country now reduced to complete ruin by adopting socialism.
00:36:04.260 India,
00:36:04.980 the begging bowl of the world is now more prosperous because it abandoned socialism and embraced technological capitalism.
00:36:12.000 So you would think that looking around the world,
00:36:14.500 it's very clear which system works.
00:36:18.060 And yet the revival,
00:36:19.220 that's why I think the revival of socialism in America,
00:36:22.160 one country where socialism has never been in the mainstream is not only a mystery,
00:36:27.460 but it's something that demands explanation and deep understanding.
00:36:30.820 And you,
00:36:32.800 you,
00:36:33.420 I,
00:36:33.700 you,
00:36:34.100 you call it identity socialism,
00:36:36.780 which I think is really,
00:36:38.220 really good.
00:36:39.480 And in fact,
00:36:40.660 I want to,
00:36:41.040 I wrote a phrase down that you,
00:36:42.820 you said,
00:36:44.520 you said,
00:36:47.400 this isn't comprehensive Stalinism in which there's an official position in classical music and chess,
00:36:54.320 but rather limited Stalinism.
00:36:55.800 The left's goal is to stigmatize resistance as discrimination and ruthless,
00:37:01.820 ruthlessly punished dissenters.
00:37:04.040 So everyone is suitably warned.
00:37:08.520 And you talk about how this is really an attack on the heart,
00:37:16.220 which when you understand identity socialism,
00:37:19.180 that is the way to get to America is to go in through their heart and then destroy it.
00:37:26.900 Right.
00:37:27.480 Is that what you're saying?
00:37:28.440 Is a mechanism.
00:37:29.600 Many people think socialism is merely a system of economic confiscation,
00:37:34.380 but it's always been far more than that.
00:37:37.520 George Orwell understood it.
00:37:38.840 He,
00:37:39.040 he was himself a man of the left,
00:37:41.000 but he saw that in the end,
00:37:43.440 what big brother,
00:37:44.780 the state is about is reducing citizens to abject conformity,
00:37:49.620 to crushing their independence of spirit and of mind.
00:37:53.180 And I think that's ultimately the worst aspect of it.
00:37:56.140 It,
00:37:56.280 it,
00:37:56.320 it crushes our individuality.
00:37:58.800 It crushes even our inner freedom.
00:38:00.700 And we're beginning to see this,
00:38:02.360 these kinds of liturgies of genuflection and subordination.
00:38:05.000 They're ultimately ways of us being of us submitting,
00:38:09.640 if you will,
00:38:10.280 our own souls to socialist ideology.
00:38:15.180 So,
00:38:15.820 um,
00:38:16.440 the,
00:38:17.120 the,
00:38:18.340 um,
00:38:19.400 the parade is very apparent.
00:38:22.240 Uh,
00:38:22.680 I mean,
00:38:22.980 when you started writing this and I,
00:38:24.780 I know it was the same for me when I was writing,
00:38:26.740 arguing with socialists,
00:38:27.780 uh,
00:38:28.780 you knew it was coming,
00:38:30.240 uh,
00:38:31.140 and you saw it,
00:38:32.400 uh,
00:38:32.940 you know,
00:38:33.640 um,
00:38:34.020 hidden.
00:38:34.460 And then they became more and more bold as they started just to admit,
00:38:39.240 yep,
00:38:39.620 the democratic socialists,
00:38:40.980 et cetera.
00:38:41.600 But the speed to which we are now seeing Americans,
00:38:46.040 a brave embrace socialists in BLM and excuse what's happening in Seattle is a little astounding.
00:38:56.440 Was it a shock to you,
00:38:57.860 Dinesh?
00:38:59.360 It was a shock to me in this sense.
00:39:01.540 Uh,
00:39:01.900 I have seen this kind of ideology in academia for a long time,
00:39:06.980 as I think you have.
00:39:08.600 I think what has surprised us is that what we previously thought was occurring in the nuthouse or asylum of academia has now metastasized into the larger culture.
00:39:19.820 You could almost say that academia is the theory and antifa is the practice.
00:39:25.240 So academia has been drilling into young people's heads without challenge, without critical scrutiny.
00:39:30.860 The idea that what happened to George Floyd is not a normalist.
00:39:34.700 It's normal.
00:39:35.220 This is how cops are. 0.87
00:39:37.140 Uh,
00:39:37.160 this is how America is.
00:39:38.520 Our institutions are racist and they have been chronically so since the beginning of the country itself.
00:39:43.980 So naturally,
00:39:45.080 if that's what you think,
00:39:46.020 if that's your premise,
00:39:47.360 if that's your starting point,
00:39:49.040 it seems normal to fling a Molotov cocktail into a police,
00:39:53.120 a precinct.
00:39:54.100 Why?
00:39:54.520 Because you're doing what you can to fight the system by any means necessary.
00:39:59.320 So in some ways,
00:40:00.520 this kind of destructive mayhem we're seeing on the street is the logical outcome of progressive ideology.
00:40:07.660 You,
00:40:08.480 um,
00:40:09.120 you talk about,
00:40:10.320 uh,
00:40:10.940 Antifa and what Antifa is.
00:40:13.640 Uh,
00:40:13.980 let me quote,
00:40:14.840 the typical socialist today is not a union guy who wants higher wages. 0.97
00:40:19.640 It's a transsexual, 1.00
00:40:21.320 uh,
00:40:21.960 eco-feminist who marches in,
00:40:24.520 Antifa and black lives matter rallies and throw cement blocks at her political opponents. 0.65
00:40:30.760 Um,
00:40:32.060 so the,
00:40:33.300 the logic behind socialism and a revolution was to get the workers of the world to unite the people,
00:40:41.560 the average person,
00:40:43.460 but that is not the case here.
00:40:47.100 And the more you see it,
00:40:49.440 the more brutal and ugly it becomes,
00:40:52.100 the more exposed they are.
00:40:53.980 And you realize this is not the,
00:40:56.840 the average person.
00:40:58.560 Why did they make that change?
00:41:00.100 And how do they expect to win?
00:41:02.460 This is the key.
00:41:04.980 Uh,
00:41:05.480 about a century ago,
00:41:06.680 an economist named Werner Sombart wrote a book called,
00:41:10.020 why is there no socialism in the United States?
00:41:12.380 And his very poignant answer was,
00:41:15.240 quote,
00:41:15.520 all socialist utopias came to grief on roast beef and apple pie.
00:41:21.280 And what he meant is that America has managed to deliver so much for the working man that the working man has no intention of overthrowing the system.
00:41:29.400 He wants to join the system.
00:41:30.900 He wants to enjoy its rewards.
00:41:32.580 Now the left has figured this out.
00:41:34.400 They can't get socialism that way.
00:41:37.180 So what they have to do is tap into other forms of resentment that exist or can be fomented in the society.
00:41:44.380 Obviously the most profitable is racial resentment.
00:41:47.100 So take George Floyd again.
00:41:49.960 This was a moment of,
00:41:51.040 of potential national unity.
00:41:53.320 Everyone that you know,
00:41:54.400 and I know condemned this from the outset.
00:41:56.720 You could think we could all say,
00:41:58.300 this is great.
00:41:58.980 Let's come together and figure this one out.
00:42:00.980 But no,
00:42:01.860 for the left,
00:42:02.480 it was a political opportunity to do what?
00:42:05.300 To create division.
00:42:06.340 Now,
00:42:06.660 not class division,
00:42:07.740 but racial division.
00:42:09.560 And then if you add gender division,
00:42:11.780 male against female,
00:42:13.060 straight against gay, 0.76
00:42:14.260 legal against illegal,
00:42:15.880 you see the scheme.
00:42:16.700 The scheme is to divide America every which way to create a 51% majority of oppressed victims. 0.78
00:42:24.460 That's the strategy of so-called identity socialism,
00:42:28.040 which is a marriage of classic socialism and identity politics.
00:42:32.800 All right.
00:42:33.560 So I want to talk to you about the end game on that.
00:42:36.880 When we come back,
00:42:38.220 the name of the book is the United States of Socialism by Dinesh D'Souza,
00:42:43.160 a guy who can articulate so well,
00:42:47.020 what's great about America.
00:42:49.640 And I think he can do it because he watched us with,
00:42:54.500 with wanton eyes,
00:42:56.160 if you will,
00:42:56.860 from the outside in his childhood.
00:42:59.020 And he saw,
00:43:00.160 and he believes the American dream and it still exists.
00:43:04.520 That belief is,
00:43:06.400 is,
00:43:06.860 is,
00:43:07.380 is,
00:43:07.880 um,
00:43:08.460 going away quickly,
00:43:09.560 unfortunately,
00:43:10.580 because not enough of us are preaching it anymore.
00:43:14.140 Not enough of us are seeing how great it really is here in the United States.
