00:00:00.000
great podcast today lots of things that i think we can do moving forward to save our country
00:00:06.500
very positive in many ways until i get to my rant on hippies all on today's podcast
00:00:14.140
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:00:24.800
there is a great article in the federalist by joy pullman uh and she talks about eight strategies
00:00:35.720
for exiting the biden years stronger than the right went in it's really wealth worth a read
00:00:42.020
eight strategies for exiting the biden years um joy writes and i'm going to just read a couple
00:00:48.560
of them then i'm going to go over the highlights but you should read it i'll i'll tweet it out and
00:00:52.120
post it on facebook or on my uh glenn beck.com page she says this is a frightening time uh
00:00:59.560
the incoming administration means the acceleration of mass murder which is abortion forcing taxpayers
00:01:06.920
to pay for it it means nuns are back on the menu it means the increase of public schools destroying
00:01:13.620
children's innocence and facilitating minors access to drugs that will enable hiv positive sex
00:01:19.160
it means the entrenchment of the institutional racism of critical race theory in every institution
00:01:24.920
possible also pushed by taxpayer funds it means the democrats rig more structures of american life
00:01:32.100
against those who disagree with them possibly preventing us from ever having a meaningful voice
00:01:37.320
in our own governance again it means the proliferation of government spending that accelerates
00:01:42.680
our nation's likelihood of devastating economic collapse it means frighteningly labeling half of the
00:01:49.080
country domestic terrorists a label that prepares for stripping even more of our rights all this in turn
00:01:55.980
she says makes us increasingly vulnerable to foreign enemies propagandists and demagogues
00:02:02.580
now she goes on to say that this is well documented and it is overwhelming to must for most people
00:02:11.840
she said all is not lost however yes we're forced to retreat but let's be orderly and strategic don't break into a route
00:02:24.640
there are numerous strategic advantages and strategies available to the people who love america if we choose
00:02:33.560
to employ and enlarge them i'm going to give you a few of them she said one recognizing corporate media
00:02:40.120
as a propaganda machine she said through covid 100 biden she said the quickest way to guess the truth
00:02:49.020
is like the way they used to do it in the soviet union whatever the mainstream media said in the soviet union
00:02:55.100
uh your dear leader is still great he has a little cold no he's not great he's probably dead okay you just
00:03:03.240
whatever they say economy looking up oh dear god it's bad whatever they say it's probably the opposite
00:03:10.480
she said it's frightfully corrupt the media corporate media now control our lives right down to the air that
00:03:18.100
we are allowed to breathe and whether we're allowed to honestly support our families and the majority of
00:03:23.460
americans either believe they're outright lies or are heavily influenced by them but this knowledge for us
00:03:29.680
is highly useful now listen to this i love this is this is reagan thinking she said it means that americans
00:03:37.920
are not necessarily supportive of socialism and baby murder and all the other things that democrats do when
00:03:44.400
they're in power it means that our country still includes a lot of well-meaning people who love america
00:03:51.300
but are deeply deceived that's an important lesson to learn why because they have made half the country
00:04:04.640
their enemy this is why peaceful resistance works this is why enlarging people's hearts and
00:04:14.780
listening to listening to them first hearing their plight this is the lesson i learned in front of
00:04:23.000
20 million people during the trump administration i didn't listen to you so i misunderstood you
00:04:31.320
they are not hearing you most people in these cities and they're now moving out of states like california
00:04:39.460
where they've never met a conservative they're coming and i hear that i have heard this from so many
00:04:47.160
liberals who i have gotten to know i've i've heard this from two communists one of the one of which
00:04:53.580
their dad was on the black list during the mccarthy hearings they have come up to me and said
00:05:00.320
i thought one thing boy was i wrong i how many times have you heard a liberal say
00:05:07.220
i i i got to know people and they're not like that how many liberals have flipped and come over to
00:05:14.340
the conservative side said these guys they don't mind debating they're not the monsters i was told they
00:05:21.560
are we must continue that in fact enlarge it because we are going to be welcoming we must be welcoming
00:05:29.780
people that are coming into our communities they've never met us before and they are coming but you
00:05:39.080
have to understand that many of them have been deceived by the media when when they they really
00:05:46.400
don't hear these stories that we we talk about every day they don't hear them they don't know them
00:05:52.760
and if we are rejecting of them with you're from california you a liberal yeah well you stay away
00:06:00.400
from me don't you wreck our state instead why'd you move from california oh it's crazy
00:06:08.100
it is isn't it well texas or tennessee or wherever you're at florida this is a great place you want to
00:06:16.320
come over have dinner and don't talk politics listen to them listen to their frustrations and then
00:06:24.580
don't be like an overzealous christian that just wants to get you into the waters of baptism
00:06:32.760
don't just listen to them love them and they will see the difference between their old friends
00:06:40.720
and their new friends we really the culture has been destroyed we have a chance they're moving out
00:06:50.880
of those states and only one of two things is going to happen they're going to destroy our states
00:06:57.000
or they're going to help our states become stronger and there's nothing better than converts if you can
00:07:03.340
get converts on your side like the people who lived in the former soviet union that have made their way
00:07:08.680
here because they wanted freedom so badly there's no one that understands this country better than
00:07:14.460
those people to talk about the people of venezuela i can't tell you i've had a whole bus of former
00:07:20.940
soviet bloc citizens they were on some tour in a city and i was walking down the street and all of a
00:07:28.080
sudden this tour bus just stops and all of them get out and they all surround me what is wrong with
00:07:36.660
america what is happening they know the people that have come and moved from their state they should
00:07:45.960
be the people that you are befriending in an honest way don't try to win okay second thing she says is we
00:07:55.100
have to have crystal clarity about the left's real goals the goal right now biden's message was i'm not
00:08:02.220
donald trump and that's what people voted for the people who voted him in generally speaking did not
00:08:09.280
vote for kamala harris and her radical the the democrats even rejected her they voted for a guy
00:08:16.760
they thought was just going to leave people alone and stop the division okay now we have a choice
00:08:26.000
we can either be the domestic terrorists that they are now going to claim we are we can either be the
00:08:33.720
extreme conspiracy people or we can be lowering the temperature and saying yeah that's not that's
00:08:42.140
just not true that's not true to your friends everything has to be local now prepare for a time
00:08:50.300
when voices like mine are rare if at all don't we have an extraordinary opportunity she writes we need
00:09:03.360
to be ready to welcome these voters in who voted for donald trump and then see exactly what they're
00:09:09.620
doing uh who voted for joe biden and then see what they're now doing in power and welcome them even if
00:09:17.100
they are not ideologically pure i'd rather have a wasteful social welfare state than murders uh that
00:09:25.200
murders fewer babies supports free speech and doesn't harass nuns you know than a corporate welfare
00:09:31.720
state that harassed the poor and religious if that's the trade-off i'll take it we just all we need
00:09:38.840
to do do you agree with the bill of rights that's it that's it because that's what we used to unite on
00:09:45.380
do you believe in the bill of rights because i do well i don't believe in a wall i didn't ask you that
00:09:51.180
do you believe in the bill of rights then the gop must separate itself from big business this is
00:10:02.460
the democrats have become clearly the party of big business on steroids the republicans have got to get
00:10:15.100
away from that they've got to get away from that um the corruption cycle is going to uh accelerate
00:10:24.820
she writes number four covid shutdowns with no end in sight are a violation of our natural constitutional
00:10:30.200
and human rights however as a biden administration coming to power this evil will also cause damage to
00:10:35.980
those who attempt to wield it against their enemies it'll mean a quicker downfall of many corrupted
00:10:42.040
institutions from churches that don't proclaim real theology losing parishioners who will never come
00:10:48.400
back from virtual church to the death of higher education institutions that have been colluding with
00:10:53.840
corporate and corrupt politicians to scam gullible young people out of their futures this is really
00:11:01.540
important to know no one ever calls in troops and silences people and corrals people up if they're confident
00:11:14.320
they got this never you only do that when you know i'm in real trouble because the people can turn against
00:11:25.860
me and we're not talking about half the people we're talking about anybody who believes in the bill of rights
00:11:31.740
and that's what our fight should be on the bill of rights because we've lost forget about the fiscal
00:11:39.860
thing we lost that way back with the democrats we lost that we've lost so many things all of our fights
00:11:49.980
need now to focus on the bill of rights she says targeting the close and local and this is really
00:11:58.460
important she's talking about make sure you get involved locally you've got to change the state laws
00:12:07.480
wherever we can to shore up a clean election make sure that your your house and your governor are working
00:12:16.360
on laws right now to make sure that that vote is bulletproof yeah i know we can't get to all the
00:12:23.900
states that's fine wherever we can get it done right now you think your state's always going to be like this
00:12:31.600
engage in more conversations not less stop fighting to win start stating the truth about our constitution
00:12:44.800
and our bill of rights start living the truth of who we are good decent kind people and start
00:12:53.360
demonstrating it with new people that are coming in to your area you've got to be the backbone of the
00:13:01.620
constitution and the last thing she says is persecution purifies and creates solidarity it's true
00:13:11.840
we're all in this fight together and when we really understand holy cow you lose i lose
00:13:19.880
there's real solidarity there but it also purifies us because we have to be sharp we have to know what
00:13:30.100
we're talking about read this article you'll find it in the uh federalist it is uh well worth your time
00:13:37.260
eight strategies for exiting the biden year stronger than the right went in and it's by joy pullman
00:13:47.600
journalist andy no on with us guy who probably knows more about antifa than anybody else he's got
00:13:58.260
a new book that is coming out already number one they haven't silenced you yet they i mean they got
00:14:03.880
to change that andy um already number one it comes out in a couple of weeks we'll have him on to talk
00:14:08.880
about that here in uh in a couple of weeks but we wanted to talk to him about what happened yesterday
00:14:14.360
in seattle and portland andy welcome hi thanks for having me on again sure so tell me what tell me
00:14:22.880
what happened yesterday give me the give me the story well given that we've been hearing over and over
00:14:29.180
media about the threat of insurgency particularly after what happened at capitol hill recently you
00:14:35.280
would think that this news would be blanketed across the national and international press
00:14:40.480
unfortunately it's not what happened yesterday was in coordinated fashion and too far in different
00:14:47.880
cities on the west coast carried out uh mass riots and attacks um they did it in portland and seattle
00:14:55.800
as well as denver to an extent portland was particularly bad because they came armed with weapons like
00:15:03.240
knives ass um there were molotov cocktails um in the course of their writing they actually destroyed
00:15:11.500
the headquarters of the democratic party of oregon ah building see that shows that that was right
00:15:27.860
explain explain explain how that is a sign it's antifa
00:15:36.360
well okay so i when i get asked this all the time which i frequently do by
00:15:44.100
press who asked me how do you know it's really antifa well you look at the groups that are organizing
00:15:51.100
the riots on encrypted telegram uh channels and signal you look at the antifa accounts that are
00:15:58.260
advertising on twitter openly the riots and calling for people to come um you look at the symbols and
00:16:04.880
flags that they carry so yesterday they carried actually antifa flags and you also just listen to
00:16:12.140
their chants they were chanting antifa antifa when they were in the middle of carrying out the
00:16:17.380
riots and then another thing which is my specialty is looking at who gets arrested and digging into their
00:16:23.140
background and looking at their political posts so all these come together make it very very clear if
00:16:30.200
you want to know the truth that these are antifa unfortunately there's very few journalists
00:16:34.820
who are curious uh who are curious when it comes to this whereas they apply so much scrutiny to the
00:16:40.320
people who were at the capitol hill including people who had nothing to do at the rise that were merely
00:16:46.500
at a political rally earlier in the day so um you know i just want to emphasize like how bad it was
00:16:53.580
yesterday like it's become normal in these cities for marauding gangs of mass people to go out into the
00:17:03.140
street with weapons and set things on fire uh come with homemade explosives come with knives
00:17:09.300
um and they were picking up rocks along the way as well um they there were multiple riots actually in
00:17:17.940
portland in the same day early in the day was the destruction of the democrat headquarters and then
00:17:22.960
later at night they tried to break inside the uh ice facility but fortunately federal offices repelled them
00:17:30.560
wait wait wait wait no no no the press would have to report it if they went into let's say a courthouse
00:17:37.520
or a federal uh office building where ice was because i mean we've learned that that that's the
00:17:45.000
difference they they went after federal uh property and they they went after federal employees so that
00:17:51.700
that was the difference because that that was what was happening in washington and apparently antifa has
00:17:57.300
never done that so now you're saying that they did that last night huh yes as they've done
00:18:03.060
hundreds of times in 2020 really trying to burn down and attack um federal property in downtown portland
00:18:11.080
where um and the response from the national media was to blame the law enforcement officers protecting
00:18:18.760
federal property at the time all right let me um uh let me just show um and by the way um andy i'm not
00:18:25.120
sure you um get my sarcasm but uh i'm not being sarcastic at all last night in portland uh they had a
00:18:34.000
very important joe biden rallying cry because they're they love joe biden listen to what they said
00:18:43.040
so it should be clear that joe biden isn't going to save us because at this point it doesn't matter
00:18:53.500
who is in the white house a dictator could care less okay and furthermore joe biden let me tell you
00:19:02.700
about joe biden joe biden is a feckless puppet of the centrist democratic establishment who is only
00:19:11.900
president because of his ties to corporate interests okay can we get that into our heads i'm preaching
00:19:20.080
the choir but but here's a pill that might be a little harder for you to swallow okay so progressive
00:19:28.460
political actors like bernie sanders and alexandria casio cortez they're not going to save you either
00:19:36.140
okay and let me be clear don't don't get me wrong it's essential that we have strong progressives
00:19:43.980
circulating the white house but now this is the people's fight okay
00:19:50.700
this is the people's fight because our political champions only have as much power as we imbue them
00:20:00.460
with and you see how much power white nationalists give trump okay and they've got the guns to back it up
00:20:09.100
what does that mean to you what what does this speech say to you
00:20:12.860
um it's laying the groundwork for radicalizing people for revolution i mean essentially if you
00:20:21.660
if you just listen to what they're saying you read their uh literature you look at their banners
00:20:26.780
they declare themselves to be ungovernable and this is where the anarchist side of the
00:20:32.140
anarchist communism comes out and antifa and their allies is that they fundamentally reject
00:20:38.060
everything about the united states including the idea of american governance period including
00:20:44.300
governance from the democrats so they recognize aoc and bernie as important allies in the ministry
00:20:52.220
uh in um in government but um when it comes to what they ultimately want though is to destroy
00:21:00.060
um uh the political system in the u.s including both parties this is what i've been talking about for
00:21:07.820
years so it's been very frustrating that uh the coverage of nancy has become partisan and not the
00:21:16.380
liberal media has given cover to them so much when these are people who are openly calling for democrats
00:21:23.500
to actually be killed tell me the difference between um antifa because yours your
00:21:30.780
uh whole book that's coming out next month is all about uh what they are who they are and what they
00:21:38.700
want um tell me the difference between that and let's say the tea party i don't know if you paid much
00:21:44.220
attention but both were in the streets both were you know marching both have political beefs
00:21:51.260
what's the difference that uh the media is ignoring good question if you were only paying attention to
00:21:59.740
mainstream media you would would have perceived uh the tea party to be uh fringe extremists rather than
00:22:06.380
um peaceful patriotic americans who wanted more say over um how they were governed whereas the
00:22:16.700
antifa the fundamental difference really comes down to um tactics and agenda obviously but tactics and
00:22:26.700
antifa explicitly call and advocate for political violence that is not the exception when it comes
00:22:33.100
to them that is their mo that's what they do every time and they will kill if need be as they've done
00:22:39.580
before the tea party use fiery rhetoric and all that but they didn't their protests were entirely peaceful
00:22:47.580
they were lawful they usually left rallies uh the the properties cleaner than when they arrived
00:22:53.660
um whereas you can look at what happens in you know the trail of antifa autonomous zones and marches is
00:23:01.420
literally the structure burnt out burnt out areas destruction and it's it it's the other difference
00:23:07.580
is is that no matter what the speeches said yesterday those who support antifa or ignore them
00:23:14.620
they they antifa does not respect the bill of rights the constitution or the the congress or our system of
00:23:25.980
government they don't want our system of government is that accurate not only do they not want our system of
00:23:33.900
government they're willing to use violence to destroy that system actually and i think what makes them
00:23:40.380
particularly dangerous is that they're really attacking the u.s as as it's found on its founding ideals
00:23:48.540
right freedom ethics i'm talking about freedom of expression the right to own property uh the rule of law
00:23:55.900
um the legitimacy of uh democracy itself i mean yesterday's violent riots by antifa were protests against the
00:24:04.060
transfer of peace the peaceful transfer of power and it should be analyzed from that angle it's not
00:24:09.820
unfortunately so um when we're looking at um antifa and we look at them historically they were the ones
00:24:19.340
basically that were blamed for the reichstag fire and there's been an argument back and forth on who
00:24:25.100
started the reichstag fired was it hitler knowing that he could grab control or was it the communists
00:24:30.460
the anti-fascists were actually communists um fighting against hitler um who have you heard
00:24:40.380
them talk about what kind of government they want they say they're anarchists but i don't think they
00:24:45.500
are anarchists are they communists are they what are they well i'm glad you touched on the history
00:24:51.020
briefly that's really important the original antifa uh was formed in the interwar years in germany as
00:24:57.740
a paramilitary of the german communist party and i write about that all in the book it's important
00:25:01.820
to understand the historical uh origins of this organization and movement but to answer um the
00:25:09.020
question you you just asked it's um they people need to realize that like the danger is not just in
00:25:18.380
anti-fascist violent extremism itself they are creating an environment where they there is a response
00:25:26.220
and a reaction from the other side and polarization as well and i think we're seeing some repeats of
00:25:34.620
the conditions that gave rise to what happened in world war ii and that the antifa are doing what
00:25:41.580
they did then which was not just fighting um nazis on the streets they were also attacking the social
00:25:48.460
democrats the center-left liberals attacking every political opposition to them in the streets and
00:25:53.740
carrying out acts of brutal street political violence and assassinations and counter-assassinations
00:26:00.220
um it looks like we are building sort of the we're getting on the building blocks of an environment
00:26:06.380
like that andy thank you very much um andy no his book comes out uh in about a month you should order
00:26:12.620
it now it's called unmask inside uh antifa's radical plan to destroy democracy uh and he is uh also the
00:26:21.420
editor at large at the post millennial thank you so much andy i appreciate it um one of the one of
00:26:26.860
the things that um i want to bring to light here is he's right we are going down many of the same roads
00:26:35.820
and it looks like we're going to be set up with many of the same things uh and i am not comparing this to
00:26:43.420
what they did to the jews and everything else i'm going to stop saying that well i can't stop saying that
00:26:48.220
because uh i have to legally now say that or somebody will call me an extremist um i want you
00:26:56.380
to know that um when the germans took power they demonized they had their own group they had the
00:27:06.060
stormtroopers and they were fighting that was the paramilitary group of the um it was the sa and they
00:27:13.820
were the paramilitary group for the nazi party the antifa was the paramilitary group for the communist
00:27:20.620
party and people hated both sides both sides and so when hitler finally saved the constitution
00:27:33.100
because there was going to be a violent overthrow he admitted he violated the constitution and said and
00:27:40.540
you know what i do it again because the republic was at stake and i needed to save it because these
00:27:47.900
guys were really bad guys he had already declared war on antifa his enemy but then the light of night of
00:27:56.060
long knives gave him the opportunity to kill off the people that were causing all the violence on his
00:28:02.540
side because the people were tired of the violence on the streets and it allowed him a chance to look
00:28:10.940
like this great benevolent leader who sacrificed himself and is willing to go to jail because he
00:28:17.500
violated the constitution but the people breathed a sigh of relief thank goodness the violence is over
00:28:24.300
but he consolidated his power got rid of anyone that could defy him and the violence had just begun
00:28:36.540
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:28:39.100
i wanted to bring uh somebody on today because i think the first step that has to be done
00:28:56.380
to save our nation is and i know this sounds like hyperbole but it is fundamental
00:29:05.420
we need to go right now all of us and download print copy and share with not only ourselves but our
00:29:19.260
families and everyone we know the report from the 1776 commission i've read a lot of history books i've
00:29:28.300
read a lot of history of america i've you're trying to summarize the good and bad of america
00:29:35.100
in 40 pages not exactly easy to do to be able to explain the complex issues that the founders were
00:29:44.300
putting into our declaration of independence and constitution really not easy to do to explain how
00:29:51.420
conflicted they were on slavery and what they did and what they didn't do almost impossible
00:29:57.660
this does it i read the whole thing in one sitting this morning it's 40 pages and i cannot recommend it
00:30:06.540
enough now one of the first thing this things that joe biden did was get rid of that get it off of the
00:30:14.060
white house website this was a trump thing and he said he's putting together a 1776 commission to combat
00:30:20.540
the lies of 1691 and when i say lies of 1691 they admit that the history is false in 1691 but i can
00:30:32.140
guarantee you if you're not paying attention your kid is learning all of those facts from the new york
00:30:38.540
times pulitzer prize winning project 1691 this must be taught to our children uh and we have uh the senior
00:30:48.860
fellow from the heritage foundation mike gonzalez who uh has authored a new book the plot to change
00:30:55.740
america he is um he's he's instrumental in making sure this goes forward welcome welcome mike glenn it's a uh
00:31:07.740
a pleasure to be on your show i i really appreciate what you do i had a chance to visit with you in texas
00:31:14.620
about seven years ago and i just love your show and the things you say and i was hoping
00:31:20.460
that the thing the fundamental thing you were going to was to read history so i'm very happy
00:31:25.980
that uh that that you told people to download the report which i was a co-author of i was i was a member
00:31:32.300
of the commission so we so thank you for that uh mike i have to tell you if your if your book is half as
00:31:38.620
good as the report it's a must read as well the um to summarize and to write it as pithy as you did
00:31:47.660
um and you and your colleagues is uh is really hard to do and to stay true to the principles um i mean it
00:31:57.740
it reads true it reads accurately and i think that's why they've taken it down on day one of the biden administration
00:32:05.580
well you know uh glenn um my book as you mentioned the plot to change america i do mention uh some of
00:32:14.540
these things some of the political project that is afoot here with making history a narrative just
00:32:21.340
the not not not it's not a series of facts i mean facts are not partisan facts are facts but what the left
00:32:29.580
uh wants to do is say no these are just simply narratives and we can oppose the hegemonic
00:32:35.580
narrative to quote gramsci with a counter narrative uh and and replace in that way change america they
00:32:43.020
want to they want to change the past in order to change the future and but of course you know as
00:32:50.700
aristotle said that alone is forbidden to the gods to make what has happened not happen uh and and and and
00:32:58.620
this is this idea that there is no truth that there's no transcendent truth it is a feature
00:33:04.700
not above of the left and this is by the way i'm glad that you mentioned the 1619 project the 1619
00:33:10.220
project is an attempt to do just that yeah to replace the narrative of america with a counter narrative
00:33:16.060
one that is anti-capitalist and pro-socialist you know i never thought of it this way mike thank you for
00:33:21.500
bringing this up i i you know i i know the progressives i know what they did to history i know how long
00:33:26.780
this has been going on i know who's who was behind it um but i never tied together the facts i just
00:33:35.100
thought they're making history boring so nobody wants to listen to it but by making making it all
00:33:41.420
about the facts and losing the entire narrative nobody learned you learned the dates and the names and
00:33:48.300
then you forgot them because you were only studying for a test and all the while they've been working
00:33:55.500
on the narrative with no facts except the facts that those people who are doing it are crediting as
00:34:04.460
fact from somebody else you know there's it's all peer-reviewed facts uh and by the time you get to
00:34:09.820
the history books today you've got you know uh at least two generations of of uh history buffs verifying
00:34:18.460
each other right and and uh you know i think they understand very well something we conservatives have
00:34:26.060
forgotten and that is what the founder of conservatism edmund burke said in the late 1700s
00:34:32.700
that in order for us to love our country our country should be lovely uh and what they what
00:34:38.460
they do what they set out to do their purpose their very clear purpose is to denigrate american history
00:34:45.100
in order that so for us for our children to hold the constitution declaration and america in contempt
00:34:52.460
and the reason to to to to hold they want to for for future generations and the present generation
00:34:58.860
to hold america in contempt is so then you you you you create that that catalyzes a desire to change
00:35:06.620
the entire system uh if america is systemically structurally and institutionally racist then if
00:35:14.380
you have if you have half a brain you understand that you have to change all the institutions the
00:35:18.540
structures in the very system so mike what what is what's going to happen to the 1776 project now
00:35:24.060
well we're we're uh constantly we're we're now in in in in at the present moment uh talking to each
00:35:32.220
other uh we have emailed uh today and yesterday uh we're going we we plan to continue meeting we plan
00:35:39.980
we have we we knew we anticipated what the white house had done so we moved the document uh to heritage
00:35:48.060
it's on the heritage website it's also it's also over at hillsdale college uh the the chairman of the
00:35:55.260
commission who's larry arnd who's the president of hillsdale and a member of the heritage foundation's
00:36:01.100
uh board of directors so you can find it in either place hillsdale by the way and heritage have great
00:36:07.820
material for you and for your audience to go to go to uh so you can find it there and read it and make
00:36:13.900
up your own mind but what we give is the unvarnished historical facts so if you approach history as
00:36:21.260
as the 1619 project does with a political agenda then the facts are are something irrelevant and that's
00:36:28.780
not what the historian does um please count me in as an ally on the 1776 project i i think this should
00:36:38.140
be read i think it should be in every home and i think it should be read by every parent and they
00:36:43.820
should teach it in the home they should take it to their schools and demand that it is taught in
00:36:48.380
their schools we have got to stop being timid uh and stop saying well i don't want to get you i
00:36:54.220
don't want to cause any trouble i don't want the teachers mad at my stop it they are teaching lies
00:37:00.540
to your kids and in every school across the country you want to teach the 1619 project i disagree with it i
00:37:09.420
think but if you want to teach it as a counter narrative to older kids and it's clearly these
00:37:16.540
are not the facts this is just a reimagining of history as long as they have learned this history
00:37:22.060
as fact they are not going to be so susceptible to the lies in the 1619 project so mike please uh
00:37:29.900
count me in as an ally i'll do anything i can to help you um tell me a little bit about the plot to
00:37:35.420
change america what is it you go into thank you and and and it's extremely kind to be an ally to
00:37:43.500
what we are trying to do in the 16 in this 1776 commission the uh the plot to change america is
00:37:49.500
it's really a book about identity politics it's a book that explains why we're here why we had the
00:37:55.740
summer of 2020 if you want to know why our cities were rocked uh that now that not that newspapers ever
00:38:02.780
reported it uh but if you want to know about the 12 000 demonstrations and 700 riots in the billions
00:38:08.300
and damages if you understand what cost it my book is it the plot to change america because what i say
00:38:14.300
is i set out to dispel the myths that that sustain identity politics what is identity politics is the
00:38:20.780
division the reimagining of america as a concrete of of of as a confederation of categories based on on
00:38:29.260
sex uh uh race national origin things that you cannot change and then what what the the project
00:38:37.180
of the left is is to instill the members of the categories with with with victimhood with a sense
00:38:43.340
of victimhood and that is what as i said before used as a catalyst for change what they say is we know
00:38:51.980
that you can improve your life individually we know that capitalism provides you with the ability to
00:38:57.900
improve your lives individually but we don't want you to do that we want you to act collectively
00:39:03.980
use your grievances to change america because this because capitalism is racist they say this
00:39:09.500
repeatedly which is a falsehood as i point out in my book the plot to change america so basically i
00:39:15.340
give a i explain uh what identity politics is and why it is so damaging to us as a country
00:39:22.540
