Summary

The power of one one person having an idea, sharing it with someone else, using their skills, involving others, that's when the collective matters. When we are all working as individuals, with our own skills, you want to save the nation, we have to first save ourselves.

00:00:58.140 first save ourselves the minute our hearts go cold we're done we're done
00:01:03.600 and what we've been watching in afghanistan has been heartbreaking on so many fronts
00:01:13.800 well i'm not going to sit here and let the white house or our federal government or our pentagon
00:01:22.860 screw this up
00:01:24.680 i am not going to abandon do you know that they now say we're not sure if we can get you know
00:01:32.900 everybody worked for us including you americans you just shelter in place don't go to the airport
00:01:39.680 next day well you should have gone to the airport we're not sure we can get you this is an abomination
00:01:45.120 in our name
00:01:46.640 monday i called our chief operating officer of the nazarene fund
00:01:53.900 it's rudy atala he is a lieutenant colonel
00:01:58.140 he's retired from the air force 21 years in the united states air force
00:02:04.420 he was special operations aviation intelligence counterterrorism
00:02:10.140 he was on the uh served on the national security council
00:02:15.380 advised the president he's now the guy that i've selected to be the chief operating officer for the
00:02:23.720 nazarene fund and i am thrilled that he is part of the team because this guy never gives up
00:02:31.300 rudy welcome to the program
00:02:34.180 hey thanks glenn it's good to hear your voice
00:02:36.920 good to hear you
00:02:37.880 uh especially with the news that you have today can you tell me what you've done
00:02:42.600 uh yes glenn uh i'm i'm working with uh with several of our partners uh in um in the middle east and
00:02:53.940 right now um hold on just a second hold on just a second i've never heard him use so many ums
00:02:59.020 and this is because rudy cannot give very much information uh for security uh reasons so
00:03:06.920 uh he's going to be a little a little vague here but go ahead
00:03:11.180 we're trying to extract several thousand people um out of afghanistan uh the problem is is getting
00:03:19.460 to the airport has been extremely difficult uh these individuals that we are helping are mostly
00:03:26.260 women and children many of them converted to christianity they've been in safe houses for a
00:03:32.820 long time um in 2009 the afghan government had changed the id cards and forced people to declare
00:03:39.700 their religious affiliations so these these individuals did not want to renounce christ so
00:03:46.020 they they already claimed themselves on their id cards as christians and now they're hunkered down
00:03:52.100 afraid to go to the airport because the taliban is looking for them from what i understand the
00:03:57.060 taliban has a list of these some of these people we've got some aircraft already waiting um to to take
00:04:05.380 off uh we're testing some of the airfields uh to see if we can extract them from there all the borders
00:04:12.340 are closed the land borders are closed so we have to create an air bridge to get these individuals out
00:04:18.100 um i've got folks on the ground uh that are working uh as i said we have partner uh uh organizations
00:04:25.700 that i'm working very closely with i was up last night all last night um and working all day yesterday
00:04:32.100 trying to coordinate some of this stuff i've been providing at least some of my um input and knowledge
00:04:39.460 in how to move the aircraft and what to do um the goal is to get these folks extracted
00:04:46.660 safely to and we're working on uh different destinations to bring them to uh unfortunately
00:04:54.660 i'm not at liberty as you said the same months right now until until we get them out but uh also
00:05:01.860 you know some of them are pastors with families um and these people are under extreme extreme danger
00:05:08.740 because the taliban wants to make an example be crucified yeah they'll they'll be crucified so um
00:05:14.660 uh rudy what is this going to cost right now uh one of the charter companies that we're working
00:05:22.660 with is is is telling us that it's going to be about four thousand dollars per person for chartering
00:05:28.180 the plane and having the flight crew to go in and out um as i said we have uh north of several thousand
00:05:36.500 people so we're going to have to raise quite a bit of money to uh to get these folks out the planes are
00:05:42.980 ready they're in place we're ready to to move forward hoping in the next 48 hours to get quite a bit of
00:05:49.620 folks out so any support we can get from our from our partners would be extremely appreciated every life
00:05:57.300 counts so we're doing our best to get them out okay um
00:06:02.180 uh wow um we are looking at an enormous amount of money um here is the um here's the ask of you uh
00:06:19.940 i want you to uh i want you to uh i want you to give today um if you can to the point of where it hurts
00:06:34.100 and that could be a dollar it could be ten dollars um might be a hundred i'm just sitting here um
00:06:43.140 um uh an amount of money that would that i would feel an impact on uh for me is different than for
00:06:54.660 you rudy i i will uh i'll pony up the first hundred grand um now let's have the audience see what they
00:07:04.980 can do we have how many thousands of people do we need to get out without giving exact numbers it's

00:09:06.020 that it was that many people um i've only gotten sketchy details throughout the night i didn't realize
00:09:12.900 we were talking that many people um these are people that um are marked for what they believe in

00:10:40.420 well summer is coming to an end soon but our outdoor life is still for the taking
00:10:55.700 nothing brings family and friends together quite like throwing some delicious food on the grill
00:11:01.940 and no grill will cook your food quite like a rec tech with its smart grill technology the rec tech
00:11:08.420 rises above the competition to create the ultimate cooking experience imagine throwing on those perfect
00:11:14.500 steaks those juicy burgers and hot dogs and maybe even you know a vegetable or two if you're feeling like
00:11:20.180 crazy and having everything turn out absolutely perfect and delicious well with rec tech that's
00:11:26.020 exactly what you're going to get because it monitors its own internal heat throughout the
00:11:30.180 cooking process and make sure everything is heated evenly meanwhile you can monitor everything from an
00:11:35.780 app on your phone or a device if you're looking for a new grill look no further it's time to get
00:11:41.140 a rec tech follow rec tech on all social media and sign up for their newsletter at
00:11:45.220 rec tech with a q at the end dot com that's r-e-c-t-e-q dot com ken cucinelli welcome to the program sir
00:11:54.900 good morning uh i uh you know we just in this weekend that we had all this trouble in afghanistan
00:12:02.900 uh the uh the white house uh i'm sorry the dhs issues a a warning uh without any specific evidence that
00:12:12.500 those who object to the vaccine uh those who object to the vaccine uh and the mask mandates are
00:12:19.460 possibly plotting a terrorist attack and they're very very dangerous uh and of course we have the
00:12:26.260 january 6th people very very dangerous can i couldn't i couldn't plan uh this destruction of
00:12:38.340 our country and a way to get people to not take the vaccine i couldn't plan a better plan than what
00:12:45.620 biden is doing right now in his administration can you please shed some light on this well i mean you're
00:12:54.500 seeing the politicization of the terrorist warning authorities that dhs has and that's what that is
00:13:01.060 that is uh look i'm i'm suing the house on behalf of three congressmen for their magnetometer fines
00:13:08.020 nancy pelosi requires everyone in congress to go through magnetometers and the reason she does isn't
00:13:14.580 because there's any evidence of a threat like you said in the intro glenn it's because she wants them to
00:13:21.940 be props in the narrative of the democrats that republicans are dangerous just by being republicans
00:13:28.180 and um you know you see that playing out here with dhs as well is they just announced these people are
00:13:36.100 a threat and um and look there's a downside to this beyond just politics when they drive resources
00:13:45.780 to non-existent or minimal threats they take those resources away from real threats and the retiring
00:13:53.780 head of the border patrol just said also this weekend uh that you know we've never seen more
00:14:03.140 opportunity for potential terrorists coming through the southern border because it's so wide open
00:14:09.380 and uh you know all these things are happening at the same time and uh you know you'd you'd think
00:14:15.540 this administration wants people to attack the united states well i will tell you this uh when you look at
00:14:22.340 how many just russians are coming across the border there's an enormous amount of russians well
00:14:30.260 what's that all about how come there's so many chinese people that are coming across i mean we have
00:14:34.980 no idea of who is coming across our border right now and we also don't seem to care about covid and yet
00:14:43.460 if i push back uh on mask mandates i am a terrorist but they're just letting you know all
00:14:51.380 these people come through with covid and then dumping them into our cities yeah there's two things
00:14:59.300 that uh the administration says they're serious about they clearly aren't one is covid for the very
00:15:06.900 reason you cite glenn i mean they're literally letting through 15 and 20 percent testing populations
00:15:12.420 and then flying them around the country uh they're spending taxpayer dollars to fly them into our
00:15:17.860 country rather than fly them home that's one two is crime they talk about wanting to get tough on crime
00:15:26.180 or what really what they talk about is wanting it to go down um and yet they're releasing
00:15:32.020 hardcore criminals repeat criminals on the border into our country and they knowingly that's policy
00:15:39.780 of this administration so you know when you hear them talk about covid and uh everybody should tighten
00:15:46.580 up well maybe they should tighten up first when you when you hear them talking about crime they're
00:15:51.860 letting hardened criminals not just drunk drivers but gang members ms-13 types into our country knowingly and
00:16:00.500 intentionally so this administration is not serious about these issues they are pandering hard to
00:16:06.980 their radical left-wing base that presumes everybody who comes in illegally will eventually
00:16:13.220 become a voter and vote for vote their way and by the way in the s-1 bill on the senate floor that
00:16:21.220 one of the last acts chuck schumer did before the senate went to august vacation was get this thing to the
00:16:26.500 floor it forces states to register everyone in their databases which includes millions of
00:16:32.900 non-citizens and illegal aliens to put them on the voter rolls oh my god and it gets rid of the
00:16:40.100 criminal penalty for those folks if they vote in our elections of course that's quite intentional so
00:16:46.340 they will vote um and they want to swamp our elections with millions of non-citizens who again they assume
00:16:54.420 will vote their way though i would point out to folks that uh hispanic voters are moving harder
00:17:00.020 and harder in the direction of republicans good i mean we represent their values i mean we have the
00:17:06.580 same the same values i don't know why it hasn't happened before but um ken you know you you um you
00:17:15.140 started uh the election transparency group election transparency.org um and the left is operating as if
00:17:24.340 there is no uh consequence for their actions i mean they are just as far left as possible i've never
00:17:33.140 honestly i could not design a plan to destroy this country that would work more effectively than what
00:17:41.220 they're doing right now um and and his popularity is going through the floor democrats are in polls are
00:17:50.340 looking like they're going to just be swept out in congress and yet it doesn't seem to matter to
00:17:56.820 them what is it that they know that we don't know about 22 and 20 not in 2024 well look they think
00:18:04.980 regardless of political circumstances if they can get their federal takeovers of elections through they
00:18:10.340 can win elections as long as you and i are alive and um and they're willing to bet a country they don't
00:18:18.420 care about that being america um on their ability to get there i would also point out that 11 years
00:18:25.620 ago in obamacare they knew they were going to lose the house and yet you know in one sense i give them
00:18:31.380 credit they pressed ahead and did their ideological health care takeover and republicans who screamed and
00:18:38.420 yelled about it for years um were unwilling to when they had the power and authority to do so to undo it
00:18:45.860 mitch mcconnell ran 36 000 anti-obamacare ads in october alone of 2014 when he was running for
00:18:52.500 re-election in a tough race what'd he do about it he beat up ted cruz and mike lee for trying to actually
00:18:59.220 do what he was advertising that he was going to do um you know these guys don't fight democrats as hard
00:19:05.060 as they fight conservatives um and you know so but that takes us back to the left they're willing to go
00:19:11.780 all in and lose seats to move this stuff because they believe it's an investment that pays off over
00:19:18.020 time much like taking the political hit on the border in the short term they believe they're going
00:19:23.620 to get millions of voters out of these illegal aliens invading the country and that's what it
00:19:28.820 is it's an invasion how likely is s1 to pass i think it's very unlikely um they are desperate to
00:19:37.780 try to break the filibuster and uh you probably saw it's been a busy weekend hr4 the john lewis act
00:19:45.220 was submitted in the house uh it's worse than it was last year went from six pages to about
00:19:51.620 uh 65 pages of of federal takeover of elections and um we'll see if any republicans support it that
00:20:00.020 would be a bad sign and it would be a bad move on their part because this is the bill this is the bill
00:20:06.980 glenn that they intend to try to break the filibuster on um and when the filibuster is
00:20:12.980 broken it won't just be elections that are gone they'll even with just a 50 50 senate they'll pop
00:20:18.820 through things on guns abortion you name it and uh the the the firewall of the filibuster will be gone
00:20:27.300 and meanwhile um we have the post office spying on people i didn't know the post office had an
00:20:35.460 intelligence arm we now have the capitol police becoming an intelligence agency what the hell is
00:20:44.260 happening ken yeah well not a lot of danger in the capitol police developing a lot of intelligence
00:20:53.220 capability anytime soon well i will i will i will tell you this they're the one organization we can't
00:20:59.460 have a foia request for well anything in the legislative branch you can't get a foia request
00:21:05.460 for because when they pass the foia law they exempted themselves um so you can't get it of of congressmen or
00:21:12.820 committees either um so everything in the legislative branch is is immune from foia uh so all the more
00:21:21.140 important that republicans take the house next year hopefully the senate too and just start subpoenaing
00:21:27.620 these materials and sharing them with the public because we need to know whether our government
00:21:33.220 is trying to just spy on us uh you know you're talking to a guy who sued the nsa over the metadata
00:21:38.420 gathering seven years ago and um and the congress changed a lot to get rid of the metadata gathering
00:21:45.540 so that you know we can we can move the ball forward and and make things right but i'll tell you with the
00:21:52.260 people in power today and as you said the priority is the radical left uh you know i compare now to
00:22:00.740 back when reagan was president with tip o'neill tip o'neill and ronald reagan didn't always agree but
00:22:05.140 no one ever doubted tip o'neill thought the constitution's greatest foundation of a government
00:22:10.180 in the in history and that america was the most exceptional nation on the planet and that's tip
00:22:14.340 o'neill i'm talking about not just ronald reagan i'm not sure that's a majority position in the
00:22:19.140 house democrat caucus today i'm not sure that there are that it's unanimous as a decision with
00:22:24.660 the republicans i think republicans some think that the constitution is nice and of course i believe
00:22:30.500 in it but we got you know times have changed we have things to do ends justify the means right yep
00:22:37.620 yep so um ken how can the average person um help what can the average person do um and i'm not
00:22:48.740 looking for busy work i'm looking for things that we can actually do that will make a difference i
00:22:53.780 mean you were a tea party guy that's when you came to the the forefront so those people are still out
00:22:59.780 there but they're not marching because that makes no difference that's what they feel yeah so things
00:23:06.900 that make a difference immediately so i'll give you a virginia example where i am we have a governor's
00:23:11.620 race we have the most important race of the year this year in virginia and what i'm urging people to
00:23:16.500 do and i'd urge people in all the other states to do it for next year don't just volunteer for
00:23:21.860 campaigns of course you got to help the candidates that are going to actually move the needle but go
00:23:26.900 be an election officer go be a hired election officer they bring citizens in they pay you not a ton but
00:23:35.700 they pay you to participate in executing your own election you know there was so much frankly it was the
00:23:42.900 the elections in 2020 were were quite a mess and the best solution to that even better than passing
00:23:50.500 good laws and all the rest when then there are going to be places we can't do that like virginia
00:23:55.300 right now um all we can do is have our folks in there watching and conducting the election so that
00:24:03.300 so where do you go them to pull it off where do you go to do that here typically you go to your local
00:24:10.180 registrar or county clerk different they're different titles in different places um and
00:24:16.900 you're and whether you like the republican party or not they usually the local chairman typically signs
00:24:22.660 off on the republican election officials but i'll tell you virtually everywhere i've ever looked
00:24:28.420 democrats staff their slots at a two to one ratio over republicans holy cow which means the slots are
00:24:37.620 available for people willing to go do the work and uh if you think of just georgia the general election
00:24:46.260 in georgia was a genuine mess it was a mess we're still reading about it right but the special election
00:24:54.420 where people were sort of mobbing the place if you will and they knew everybody in the world was
00:25:00.260 watching you don't hear any stories about problems with that election you know why because we were swarming
00:25:08.260 it because we were watching it i can tell you as a former attorney general when bad guys think they're
00:25:13.460 being watched they don't misbehave even though they're bad really good advice it goes a long way
00:25:21.540 and it's to your point give me something you can really do this is something you can really do and
00:25:28.260 the appointments in virginia are three years and i don't know what they are in each of your listeners
00:25:32.820 home states but this isn't just one and done elections go sign up now be in the pipeline now
00:25:39.780 and be aware you should say i'll serve anywhere and there are some states like you know pennsylvania
00:25:45.540 where you need people from bucks county to go into philadelphia you know you virginia it's richmond
00:25:51.780 it's fairfax and uh you know we all have those disparities don't just be willing to serve in
00:25:58.180 your home territory um be willing to move around okay and let that be known and you got to start
00:26:04.020 early so you know that's something to start right now okay right now ken thank you so much ken
00:26:08.900 cuccinelli you can uh follow him the website is electiontransparency.org or you can follow him on
00:26:14.660 twitter at ken cuccinelli thanks ken this is the best of the glenbeck program
00:26:25.220 i was 10 years old 10 years and two days it was february 12 1974 when a guy who had been in and out of
00:26:34.500 gulags uh in russia wrote a letter and released live not by lies i want to read it to you and i want
00:26:46.100 you to remember this was written in 1974 to the soviet people see if it applies to you today
00:26:54.980 there was a time when we dared not rustle a whisper but now we write and read and we congregate heartily
00:27:02.660 complaining to each other of all the things that they are muddling up of all they are dragging us
00:27:09.540 into there's that unnecessary bravado around our ventures into space against the backdrop of ruin and
00:27:17.220 poverty at home and the buttressing of a distant salvage of regimes the kindling of civil wars
00:27:25.540 and the ill thought out cultivation of now at our expense to boot in the end we'll be the ones sent
00:27:35.220 out against him and we'll have to go what other option will there be and they put whomever they want
00:27:41.620 on trial and brand the healthy as mentally ill and it is always they while we are helpless
00:27:50.500 we're approaching a brink already a universal spiritual demise is upon us a physical one that
00:27:59.700 is about to flare up and engulf us and our children while we continue to smile sheepishly and babble
00:28:07.780 but what could we do to stop it we haven't the strength we have been so hopelessly seated
00:28:14.660 our humanity that for the modest handouts of today we're ready to surrender up all principles
00:28:23.300 surrender up our soul all the labors of our ancestors all the prospects of our descendants anything to
00:28:31.540 avoid disrupting our meager little existence we've lost our strength we've lost our pride we've lost our
00:28:39.140 passion we don't even fear a common nuclear death we don't fear for a third world war perhaps we'll
00:28:46.660 just hide away in some crevice the only thing we fear is to take a civic stance we don't want to stray
00:28:54.340 from the herd we can't set out on our own and and risk suddenly having to make do without
00:29:01.460 we have internalized well the lessons drummed into us by the state we are forever content and
00:29:11.780 comfortable with its premise we cannot escape the environment the social conditions they shape us
00:29:20.900 being determines consciousness what have we have what what do we have to do with this we can't really do
00:29:27.940 anything but we can do everything even if we comfort and lie to ourselves that this is not so
00:29:41.140 it's not they who are guilty of everything but we ourselves only we some will counter but really i
00:29:50.180 mean there's nothing that can be done our mouths are gagged no one listens to us no one asks us how can we
00:29:55.940 make them listen to us to make them reconsider it is impossible now the natural thing would just to
00:30:03.940 simply not re-elect them but there are no real re-elections in our country in the west in the west they have
00:30:14.500 strikes and protest marches but we're too cowed too scared how does one just give up one's job just go out
00:30:23.300 into the street all of the other fateful means resorted to over the last century of russia's bitter
00:30:30.500 history are even less fitting for us today true let's not fall back on them today when all the axes have
00:30:39.860 hewn what they have hacked when all that was sown has borne fruit we can see how lost how drugged were
00:30:48.980 were those conceited youths who sought through terror bloody uprisings and civil war to make the country
00:30:56.180 just and content no thank you fathers of the enlightenment we now know the vileness of the
00:31:07.300 means begets the vileness of the result let our hands be clean
00:31:13.300 so has the circle closed is there indeed no way out so the only thing left to do is wait inertly
00:31:23.700 what if something just happens by itself but it will never come unstuck by itself if we all every day
00:31:34.760 continue to acknowledge glorify and strengthen it if we do not at least recoil from its most vulnerable
00:31:43.160 point lies when violence bursts onto the peaceful human condition its face is flush with self-assurance
00:31:54.760 it displays on its banner and proclaims i am violence make way step aside or i will crush you
00:32:03.080 but violence ages swiftly a few years pass and it's no longer so sure of itself so to prop itself up to appear
00:32:13.300 decent it will without fail call forth its ally lies for violence has nothing to cover itself with but lies
00:32:24.360 and lies can only persist through violence and it is not every day and not on every shoulder
00:32:32.360 that violence brings down its heavy hand it demands of us only a submission to lies a daily participation in deceit
00:32:41.460 and this suffices as our fealty and therein we find neglected by us the simplest the most accessible key to our liberation
00:32:54.800 a personal non-participation in lies even if all is covered by lies even if it's all under their rule
00:33:06.780 let us resist in the smallest way let their rule hold not through me
00:33:13.860 this is the way to break out of the imaginary encirclement of our inertness
00:33:20.000 the easiest way for us and the most devastating for the lies for when people renounce lies lies simply
00:33:29.000 cease to exist for like parasites they can only survive when attached to a person
00:33:35.200 we're not called upon to step out into the square and shout out the truth to say out loud what we think
00:33:44.260 this is scary and perhaps we're not ready but let us at least refuse to say the things
00:33:53.080 that we do not think
00:33:55.880 this is the way then the easiest and most accessible for for us given our deep-seated organic cowardice
00:34:04.560 it's much easier scary to even utter the words it's much easier than civil disobedience a la gandhi
00:34:13.660 our way to start must be never knowingly support lies having understood where the lies begin
00:34:25.560 and many see this line differently step back from that gangrenous edge let us not glue back the flaking
00:34:33.420 scales of the ideology not gather back its crumbling bones nor patch together its decomposing garb
00:34:40.380 and we will be amazed how swiftly and helplessly the lies will fall away
00:34:45.460 and that which is destined to be naked will be exposed as such to the world
00:34:51.860 and so thus overcoming our temerity let each man today choose will he remain a witting servant
00:35:04.860 of the lies needless to say not due to natural predisposition predisposition but in order to provide
00:35:14.260 a living for the family to just rear the children but you're rearing them in the spirit of lies or has the time
00:35:24.100 come for that man to stand straight as an honest man worthy of the respect of his children and contemporaries
00:35:32.100 and from that day onward the man who will not write sign or publish in any way a single line distorting so far as he can see the truth
00:35:47.200 a man who will not utter such a line in private or in public conversation
00:35:53.800 nor read it from a crib sheet nor speak it in the role of an educator
00:35:59.880 a canvasser
00:36:03.040 a teacher
00:36:05.160 or an actor
00:36:07.500 they will not in painting sculpture foot photography technology
00:36:13.100 or music depict support or broadcast a single
00:36:18.500 false thought
00:36:20.140 a single distortion of the truth
00:36:22.920 as he discerned discerns it
00:36:24.900 that man will rise and not cite in writing or in speech
00:36:32.020 a single guiding quote for gratification
00:36:36.000 insurance for his success at work
00:36:38.880 unless he fully shares the cited thought and believes that it fits the context precisely
00:36:46.140 will that man start today
00:36:50.780 not raise a hand in a vote for a proposal which he does not sincerely support
00:36:57.600 he will not vote openly or in secret ballot for a candidate who he deems dubious or unworthy
00:37:05.160 he will not be impelled to a meeting where a forced and distorted discussion is expected to take place
00:37:12.960 let me say that again
00:37:14.240 that man stands up and will not be impelled
00:37:18.500 to a meeting where he is forced
00:37:21.580 and distorted discussion is expected to take place
00:37:26.040 he will at once walk out from a session
00:37:29.940 meeting lecture play or film
00:37:32.280 as soon as he hears the speaker
00:37:34.040 utter a lie
00:37:35.700 ideological drivel
00:37:37.720 or shameless propaganda
00:37:39.740 that man will not subscribe to nor buy in retail
00:37:44.880 a newspaper or a journal
00:37:46.700 that distorts or hides the underlying facts
00:37:50.000 this is not a exhaustive list
00:37:54.500 because there are so many possible and necessary ways of evading lies
00:38:01.120 yes at first it will not be fair
00:38:04.500 someone will have to temporarily lose their job
00:38:08.460 for the young who seek to live by the truth
00:38:11.660 this will at first severely complicate your life
00:38:15.120 for your tests and your quizzes too are stuffed with lies
00:38:19.880 and so choices will not will have to be made
00:38:23.140 but there is no loophole left for anyone who seeks to be honest
00:38:27.780 not even for a day
00:38:29.540 not even in the safest technical occupations
00:38:33.220 can he avoid even a single one of the listed choices
00:38:38.140 to be made in favor of either truth or lies
00:38:41.020 in favor of spiritual independence or spiritual servility
00:38:44.860 and as for him who lacks the courage to defend even his own soul
00:38:49.440 let him not brag of his views
00:38:53.100 his progressive views
00:38:54.640 boast of his status as a
00:38:57.280 academia
00:38:58.360 or recognized artist
00:39:00.700 or distinguished citizen or general
00:39:02.820 let him say to himself plainly
00:39:05.520 I'm cattle
00:39:06.480 I'm a coward
00:39:07.800 I seek only warmth
00:39:09.860 and to eat my fill
00:39:11.380 for those of us who have grown state over time
00:39:15.960 even this most moderate path of resistance
00:39:18.180 will not be easy
00:39:19.540 to set out upon
00:39:20.760 but how much easier it is
00:39:23.560 than setting yourself on fire
00:39:26.260 or a hunger strike
00:39:27.900 betrayed and deceived by us
00:39:34.200 did not a great European people
00:39:36.200 the Czechoslovaks
00:39:37.220 show us
00:39:38.540 how one can stand down the tanks
00:39:40.860 with bared chest alone
00:39:42.620 as long as
00:39:46.440 inside
00:39:47.480 beats a worthy heart
00:39:50.080 you know he goes on
00:39:51.360 and he says
00:39:51.840 this is not going to be an easy path
00:39:53.480 perhaps
00:39:53.940 but it is the easiest among those
00:39:55.760 that lie before us
00:39:56.920 and I keep telling you
00:39:58.920 if you don't stand now
00:39:59.920 you're not going to stand
00:40:01.360 when it counts
00:40:02.100 here he is trying to reverse
00:40:05.080 decades
00:40:06.700 of people remaining silent
00:40:08.940 he says
00:40:10.960 it's not going to be an easy choice
00:40:12.260 for the body
00:40:12.980 but it's the only one
00:40:15.500 for the soul
00:40:16.200 it's not an easy path
00:40:17.780 but then we already have
00:40:19.860 among us
00:40:20.320 people
00:40:20.660 dozens
00:40:21.200 even
00:40:21.780 dozens
00:40:22.580 he writes
00:40:24.020 who have for years
00:40:26.180 abided by all these rules
00:40:27.820 who now live
00:40:28.780 by the truth
00:40:29.680 we don't have to be first
00:40:31.880 our job
00:40:34.080 is to join
00:40:35.360 the more of us
00:40:37.400 that set out together
00:40:38.480 the thicker our ranks
00:40:39.680 the easier and shorter
00:40:41.380 this path will be
00:40:42.500 for all of us
00:40:43.640 if we become thousands
00:40:45.680 they will not cope
00:40:47.020 they will not be able
00:40:48.740 to touch us
00:40:49.940 if we grow to tens
00:40:51.780 of thousands
00:40:52.520 we will not recognize
00:40:54.380 our country
00:40:55.040 will you join me
00:41:00.700 in this effort
00:41:01.700 I'm going to tweet
00:41:07.100 this link out
00:41:07.920 and I want you to read it
00:41:09.080 it's not that hard
00:41:10.440 you don't have to become
00:41:12.640 superhuman
00:41:13.320 you just have to say
00:41:15.560 the things that you know
00:41:16.560 are true
00:41:17.120 always
00:41:18.380 that's going to be hard
00:41:19.940 because in the last few years
00:41:21.500 we've been trained
00:41:22.140 not to
00:41:22.860 but always
00:41:24.760 say the truth
00:41:25.920 it doesn't mean
00:41:26.680 you have to say something
00:41:28.280 it just means
00:41:30.840 you're not engaging
00:41:32.040 unless the truth
00:41:34.260 is there
00:41:34.760 and if asked
00:41:37.860 no I'm not engaging
00:41:40.220 in that
00:41:40.700 I don't
00:41:42.440 we all know
00:41:43.800 that's not true
00:41:44.600 there are already
00:41:46.480 people that are doing
00:41:47.480 that
00:41:47.860 if we join them
00:41:49.620 if we join them
00:41:51.300 and we're in the tens
00:41:52.960 and hundreds
00:41:53.500 of thousands
00:41:54.200 it will quickly grow
00:41:55.620 to the millions
00:41:56.400 and it won't be
00:41:57.780 a partisan thing
00:41:59.120 because
00:42:01.000 we're all supposed
00:42:02.500 to stand
00:42:03.200 for the truth
00:42:04.800 na, na, na, na, na
