00:01:17.540 retirement if you have it in regular stocks it's going to be a problem you've lost how much money
00:01:23.340 already please take a portion of that and call gold line find out right now how you can protect
00:01:30.460 your retirement with gold or silver tell them that i sent you from the podcast and give gold line
00:01:37.460 the code myb which represents mind your business it's a silver bar that we made together at gold
00:01:43.900 line a while back and it's they're just going to give it to you as a thank you for calling in
00:01:48.660 uh request your information at their website at goldline.com but i would call them 866 gold line
00:01:55.560 tell them glenn sent you and mind your own business and they'll send you that silver for free 866 gold line
00:02:02.520 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:02:13.660 senator mike lee is joining us in case you didn't hear um john cornyn and other very very popular senators
00:02:25.640 um sold us out uh and uh and worked on comprehensive gun control it passed the senate um did anybody read
00:02:36.980 it i don't know senator lee mike did anybody read it did you guys have time well look i assume that a
00:02:46.200 small handful must have read it because there were a group of senators 10 republicans and 10 democrats who
00:02:51.640 got together and wrote this behind closed doors i hope they read it but i don't think anyone else had
00:02:56.800 the chance to uh in fact by yesterday afternoon mid-afternoon a number of news media outlets were
00:03:03.440 reporting that they had the bill text senators still didn't we received the bill text just moments before
00:03:10.280 we were expected to vote on it and it ended up getting an overwhelming vote because basically all
00:03:17.780 democrats and 10 or 15 republicans voted for it this is stunning to me this is not how the senate is supposed
00:03:25.500 to operate i mean okay so mike tell me tell me tell me this first of all um the devil is always in the
00:03:34.700 details you're an attorney most of you guys in the senate are attorneys so you've you know this you you can say
00:03:42.640 one thing but i'm never going to sign a contract that is just a kind of a list of things that are
00:03:49.400 in the contract say yeah it's all done i'm going to read every word of that contract because the way
00:03:54.800 it's worded makes all the difference in the world is that did you just get a list of stuff or did you get
00:04:01.700 the actual physical bill with all of the legal jargon in it and if so how could you possibly read it
00:04:09.500 even if you had it for two hours right we we got the the text of the bill and the blind vote was
00:04:18.260 required within an hour and and so with only moments to review no committee hearings no regular order
00:04:24.340 a vote was held with implications concerning a pretty essential constitutional right and immediately
00:04:31.000 after uh senator schumer the the majority leader uh used the procedure it's called uh filling the the
00:04:38.600 the tree and filing cloture which means he's going to block all amendments it means that this bill text
00:04:45.260 is now sacred it's now protected it's like it's on on stone tablets and you can't change it from here
00:04:53.140 on out and this is how they set it up so that they can pass it as is without any amendments this is the
00:05:01.500 senate operating at its worst it operates at its best when people bring forward legislation they propose
00:05:06.860 something and the senators hold hearings on it they discuss the language they debate and then they they
00:05:13.580 also debate amendments they say okay this provision here might be okay if you made these changes this
00:05:19.440 one over here might be okay if you made those changes that's what the american people deserve they
00:05:24.080 deserve better from the world's greatest deliberative body they didn't have that here so mike do we even
00:05:30.840 really have a senate process anymore because it to me as an outsider it sounds like you got a group of
00:05:38.000 people uh anywhere from three to ten that get together decide on what's going to be voted what the bill is
00:05:45.520 then they put it in front of you guys say you you know you have no time to read it you just have to vote
00:05:51.920 trust us i mean i don't know the last time i heard a real debate on a bill i mean you used to when they
00:05:58.780 were important things we would watch c-span believe it or not and we would listen to you guys debate back
00:06:05.160 and forth i can't think of a time that that has happened in the last 10 years do we have a senate
00:06:11.440 well yeah we we do we do and there are plenty of times where that has happened it was noticeably
00:06:16.760 absent here and yes we do have a senate we do have a process for those things to happen and we routinely
00:06:23.120 do use them the problem arises where we don't use them where senators choose not to do it now look
00:06:31.000 i've given you the bad news the good news is this still isn't over this thing isn't passed yet what we voted
00:06:36.700 on last night was known as a motion to proceed we it's a procedural motion to get onto the bill
00:06:42.900 uh in a couple of days uh probably sometime tomorrow we'll be casting another vote that's called
00:06:49.980 the cloture vote which is uh about how to bring debate to a close which seems uh it's potentially
00:06:57.560 perfunctory here because apparently what they've got in mind is no amendments at all and not much
00:07:05.380 real debate at all but if if you can't get to 60 votes voting to bring debate to a close through
00:07:10.700 cloture tomorrow then this thing can't pass so it's not entirely baked yet it's just mostly baked
00:07:18.080 if we can convince enough senators to say hey this needs more time this needs more deliberation this
00:07:24.340 needs more debate then perhaps we can have a real process here which is what we really want
00:07:29.200 but don't we have don't we have 15 republicans is it 12 or 15 that voted for it so you would need
00:07:38.040 i believe it was you'd need you know probably 14 last night okay so you'd you'd need at least four to flip
00:07:46.580 yeah five you'd need five but see glenn this is this highlights another issue that i've got with it
00:07:54.520 especially in an election year like this one as contentious as it's become and with a democratic
00:08:00.400 president who has become as abusive as he has of government processes and of policies that are
00:08:06.260 important to republicans i think it's disappointing really that we've got a bill that unites as far as i can
00:08:14.640 tell all 50 democrats and it deeply divides republicans why why do this now well why do this
00:08:24.380 without at least any process look i i understand the need for bipartisanship i understand that not
00:08:28.900 every republican is always going to agree with every other republican but at least give us the process
00:08:35.660 and that's why it's on that basis that i'd encourage my republican colleagues who voted to proceed last night
00:08:40.480 to strongly reconsider their vote when it comes to cloture let's not bring this debate to a close
00:08:46.140 when we're nowhere near ready to fully understand this thing the the american people really do deserve
00:08:54.060 better here who do we need to call well look i think a good place is i a good place to start would be
00:09:05.300 anyone who voted to proceed on that last night uh and separate apart from calling them just having a
00:09:12.580 national discussion about what's in the bill about some of the uncertainties in it um and and i want to
00:09:18.980 make clear there are a number of legislative options before us that do address or could address
00:09:24.020 things that can be done practically to improve safety in this area one one of those things is called
00:09:31.580 the luke and alex school safety act and that's included in this bill and it codifies into law
00:09:36.540 the federal clearinghouse on school safety i spoke in favor of that bill at a hearing last week and
00:09:41.680 that bill is included within this package and i'm open to others other ideas that that tackle
00:09:47.500 safety in schools head-on senator marshall has an interesting proposal for example that would that
00:09:53.360 would use unspent covid funds to improve school safety and security and i could also
00:09:58.500 support increasing penalties for straw purchasers who know or have reason to know that the gun
00:10:05.520 they're purchasing is for someone who will use it in a crime so um mike is it true with these red flag
00:10:13.720 laws that are in this bill that the money goes to states for school safety that will um that will
00:10:23.400 adopt the red flag laws is that true there's there seems to be money being held back from
00:10:30.240 basically red states yeah i mean you're you're on the right track it's not exactly that it's it's not
00:10:37.680 school safety funds that go to red flag law states but it's it's other funds um these um uh criminal
00:10:45.340 enforcement called burn jag grants that will be made more available to states with red flag laws
00:10:52.760 than those without them and we there is really bad ambiguous vague language in there that purports
00:11:03.180 to protect due process reports to protect the the rights of the person uh accused of something
00:11:10.240 before they take can take their guns away but the language is loose enough that i think you could
00:11:15.840 you could run a mac truck through it and i think these uh these states that have existing red flag
00:11:21.740 laws that have no real due process uh protections to speak of uh are probably going to be just fine
00:11:30.080 they won't have to make any changes to them i mean think about it glenn if if somebody takes away a
00:11:35.500 constitutional right from you don't you think that the fifth and 14th amendments if it's government
00:11:42.420 taking away a constitutional right from you don't you think that those two amendments require that
00:11:48.140 you be given due process of law before they can deprive you of life yes liberty or property yes i mean
00:11:53.300 we have two different provisions of the constitution that say as much and so anytime we're tinkering with
00:11:59.200 that as i think we are when we give extra money to states with red flag laws because red flag laws
00:12:06.460 allow the government to come in and take uh your gun away without giving you a full access to a full
00:12:15.540 hearing in front of a court in which you can present evidence uh uh to the judge and which you can
00:12:22.260 confront your witnesses we've got multiple constitutional protections at place here at stake
00:12:26.960 it's crazy this is this is also your due process right your confrontation clause rights your jury trial
00:12:32.760 rights they're all being undermined by this arguably we need to know what this actually does before
00:12:38.940 congress passes it um cornyn said last week he was booed at the um gop convention in texas and he said
00:12:49.560 as he left i don't i don't give in to mobs uh this doesn't bother me um and i thought well that's not
00:12:55.940 a mob those are the people you're supposed to represent that's the party that you are supposed to
00:13:02.020 represent what do you mean it's a mob now um he's quoted as saying um first guns now immigration
00:13:12.760 and cinema is quoted saying that's right we're going to do it um so cornyn apparently is you know on the
00:13:22.440 road now for for uh negotiations on the border it is that possibly true please tell me
00:13:32.000 wait meaning he's not in washington no he's in washington last friday he gave a speech where he
00:13:39.600 said where he was booed at the gop convention and he said uh i don't give in to mobs i'm not going to
00:13:45.420 give in to you um and he was booed because of his his work on this this gun uh reform now apparently
00:13:55.100 he has said to senator alex padilla uh first guns now immigration and um padilla smiled this is according
00:14:07.020 to uh sources that he smiled and uh cinema said that's right we're gonna do it so apparently he's
00:14:15.360 now pledging his support for amnesty as well on the border well oh okay so that that's that's news to me
00:14:24.200 but i would be a little surprised if he thought that was a good idea right now and so i wouldn't
00:14:30.480 want to speak for for him on this but that would surprise me a little bit especially given this
00:14:35.560 administration's problems with the border i mean that's basically killed any chance for
00:14:42.120 immigration reform with an administration that has refused to enforce the border at all resulting in
00:14:49.000 the multi-billion dollar profits flowing into international drug cartels uh so yeah that part
00:14:55.400 would surprise me but but this raises an interesting connection if we were to do that go ahead i would be
00:15:01.640 worried we don't we ought not have a handful of republicans empowering and uniting all democrats in
00:15:09.500 the senate that's how bad policy is made especially when you rush it through without the public having
00:15:14.920 adequate opportunity to understand what's being passed senator mike lee as always good to have you
00:15:21.720 on thanks for standing up um tell us what we can do i mean we have millions of people that are uh
00:15:27.960 want to stop this want to help um so uh i guess we'll start with those republicans too if you can get
00:15:35.180 that list of those republicans that uh voted last night to proceed with this this gun violence bill
00:15:41.780 mike lee thank you very much we'll talk again you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:15:51.280 you know this this gun control stuff could not happen at a better time in some ways you know 20 years
00:16:05.740 ago we kind of trusted our government uh we did exactly the opposite of what george washington said
00:16:13.040 george washington said treat government like a fire uh when you're in control of it it will keep you warm
00:16:19.740 and it's fine it could be useful when it's in control of you it will burn everything down
00:16:26.840 um we now are starting to at least some of us are starting to look at the government and
00:16:33.080 there's no way the patriot act uh would have passed uh today you know assuming we had a regular
00:16:39.900 senate and everything else i can't imagine that uh the patriot act would have would have come close
00:16:46.520 to passing today because there's enough people are like uh-uh no more power for you guys no more power
00:16:52.580 now we're giving them the red law the red flag laws we're giving them the power to say oh you know
00:17:01.500 what you've been you've had some mental health problems oh you've had prozac whatever it is
00:17:08.000 and i'm sure there's going to be a really simple way to you know combat this in the courts because
00:17:14.900 you don't get to face your accuser so all of that is bad but here's the worst part of it and this is
00:17:23.160 the main thing that i think every american should be able to relate to and it should give them pause
00:17:29.500 if red flag laws now hear me out if you're a democrat or voted a different way that's fine
00:17:36.760 just please hear me out on this if red flag laws become the law of the land do you think that hunter
00:17:46.340 biden would lose his guns or go to jail looking just at the existing red flag laws as well as the
00:17:57.420 doj's model legislation about them in essence a petitioner may approach the court and request a
00:18:04.240 close relative friend student patient have their firearm taken away if they have cause for believing
00:18:12.020 that person will hurt themselves or others the judge has to consider multiple factors including
00:18:17.920 criminal history drug abuse threatens or threats if they've threatened anyone attempted or actual
00:18:27.540 use of force or even how recently the gun was purchased it's a pretty wide net and it can catch
00:18:34.380 whomever it needs to catch and conversely let anyone you need to let through through now let me tell you a
00:18:42.620 story 2018 hallie biden took hunter biden's gun wrapped it in a shopping bag and then chucked it into the trash can
00:18:53.900 outside of a supermarket across from a school when they went back to get the gun it was gone
00:19:01.520 now somebody had gone through the trash found the gun and turned it into the supermarket and the
00:19:10.020 supermarket called police but like so many hunter biden stories the chaos created uh some sort of a sand
00:19:18.080 storm which you can't find anything anymore and just tidbits of information emerged the main one being
00:19:26.880 saying that the gun in question was purchased by hunter biden illegally you say that again this gun
00:19:36.320 purchased by the son of the president of the united states was purchased in the in the east coast
00:19:45.620 you know in a fashion that is illegal and the east coast they come down on you like a bag of bricks
00:19:53.180 next to the question that you have to fill out when you buy a gun for a background check
00:20:02.040 are you an unlawful user or addicted to marijuana any depressant stimulant narcotic drug or any other
00:20:12.060 controlled substance the answer with hunter biden is clearly and was clearly yes but he checked no
00:20:20.740 hunter recalled the gun in the garbage incident in a text found on his abandoned laptop and in it he
00:20:27.920 said she stole the gun out of my trunk lock box and then threw it in a garbage can full uh can full to
00:20:36.020 the top at jansen's that's the grocery store she said she took it from me because she was scared i would
00:20:41.320 harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile relationship and that she was afraid for
00:20:49.680 the kids is that red flag hallie wrote to hunter saying i'm scared you would use it hunter i'm scared
00:20:58.120 for your life hunter i love you i'm sorry but hunter was enraged he texted her saying they think you're
00:21:07.140 scared i would shoot you you effing a-hole you now have me as an app as a abusive pedophile with homicidal
00:21:16.680 tendencies and that's now in the hands of the fbi so she said all of these things she told the fbi
00:21:26.680 uh i'm afraid for our life i'm afraid for the children uh i'm afraid that he might use it on himself
00:21:34.720 he is addicted to drugs to crack cocaine it was in the hands of the fbi how long would you have the
00:21:45.100 gun or be free on the streets if that happened to you in desperation she wrote back i'm at the end of
00:21:52.860 my sanity he responded in multiple messages saying uh what right do you have hallie there are five guns
00:22:01.780 in my dad's house uh there are effing more weapons in your son's room than in an armory what's
00:22:11.100 my f up owning a gun how hallie is that wrong it's only wrong if you make me out to be unstable
00:22:19.020 i'm proven unstable when you put a gun in the trash can at jansen's out of fear
00:22:25.440 then again in a separate message he writes what fear hunter is either insane homicidal or just a drug
00:22:34.720 addict he finally ended the conversation saying you're right hallie my life is meaningless
00:22:40.140 there were no charges filed as a result of this incident none if you voted for uh joe biden
00:22:52.560 and you believe in all of these red flag laws then why isn't hunter biden in jail today if you
00:23:01.720 really believe these people in washington to believe this then why wouldn't just a good father
00:23:08.340 say you know dude you've got to pay a price for your behavior and now even though it added the uh
00:23:19.660 to the unraveling of hunter and hallie's toxic relationship no legal consequences now the agency
00:23:28.220 denied it even political reported the secret service was likely involved
00:23:33.400 but the agency the fbi said no that didn't happen what how did the what
00:23:40.220 you and i both know you and i both know
00:23:46.920 that the ramifications of hunter biden's activities and his tragic saga go well beyond
00:23:58.120 hunter biden because they are teaching people a lesson we are moving towards a society that
00:24:05.880 has a ruling class that lives above their own edicts they tell us they know better they tell us
00:24:15.580 that our neighbors and even some of us are dangerous while ignoring the dangers in their own lives
00:24:23.520 or in their own families we now expect that our leaders and those that have favor with those leaders
00:24:34.880 will not face any consequences and even if you are a leader if you don't play games with the leadership
00:24:43.760 you're out look at elon musk elon musk now has the number one car uh for uh rated on
00:24:53.160 how much of it is built in america number one
00:24:57.840 yet he's thrown under the bus
00:25:02.520 he i guess is not american enough
00:25:06.920 we saw it during covid19 and we will see it again with gun regulations
00:25:13.380 the rules for thee and not for me
00:25:16.500 this is why americans cannot give an inch not one inch of our liberty away on the grounds of the government's good faith
00:25:28.820 they have no good faith left
00:25:31.640 they have violated every single principle of liberty
00:25:36.980 and they've done it in the name that they know better
00:25:40.560 follow the science
00:25:41.840 follow the experts
00:25:43.720 well they're the experts
00:25:46.580 they're the ones who have screwed this up
00:25:50.100 the american people have not screwed this up
00:25:52.440 the american people are not the reason why our our government is so corrupt
00:25:58.960 other than the fact that we continue to vote them into office
00:26:03.360 we weren't the ones running the fed
00:26:07.420 we're not the ones at the money printing shop at the treasury
00:26:11.720 we're not the ones that are screaming for war
00:26:16.800 even if red flocks were not flatly unconstitutional and a threat to all of our liberty
00:26:25.480 which they are
00:26:27.280 they should still be resisted
00:26:30.280 for the very reason that the political elite cannot be trusted
00:26:34.640 our political betters
00:26:36.440 continue to surround themselves with armed guards
00:26:40.020 they continue to shield themselves from the laws that they themselves enact
00:26:45.880 when you have the capital police
00:26:49.360 colluding
00:26:50.740 with the leadership
00:26:53.300 because the police work for them
00:26:56.420 when you have the secret service and the fbi
00:26:59.820 colluding
00:27:00.800 on crimes
00:27:02.500 with our political leadership
00:27:05.640 they cannot be trusted
00:27:07.040 that is why they want your guns gone
00:27:11.160 it's not anything to do with our kids
00:27:13.200 it has nothing to do with anything
00:27:14.800 they want
00:27:16.440 again i go back to george washington
00:27:18.740 when the government
00:27:22.040 fears the people
00:27:23.780 there is freedom
00:27:25.740 when the government
00:27:28.740 when the people
00:27:29.720 fear the government
00:27:31.560 there is tyranny
00:27:33.380 the only equalizer
00:27:36.680 is the gun
00:27:38.220 what you can't fight
00:27:40.640 the united states military
00:27:42.500 i don't know
00:27:43.240 i mean we don't have any caves to hide in
00:27:45.600 but it seemed to work well in afghanistan
00:27:47.740 didn't it
00:27:48.960 they're shielding these themselves from the laws that they enact themselves and at the same time
00:28:00.500 they're calling on us to strip each other of our rights
00:28:04.640 they want us to do it
00:28:06.880 don't be fooled
00:28:08.080 don't be fooled
00:28:09.640 just as we saw during covid 19
00:28:12.960 just as we saw with the patriot act
00:28:16.500 that is now being horribly abused
00:28:18.620 by the people in power
00:28:20.580 that swore they'd never abuse it
00:28:22.680 red flags are not about your safety
00:28:26.620 period
00:28:28.100 they are about your submission
00:28:31.380 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:28:37.980 lily tang williams
00:28:48.220 i believe we talked long ago lily
00:28:52.420 and then i know you were supposed to be on our tv show on the day that
00:28:56.680 robin williams uh passed away
00:28:59.320 and somehow or another

00:29:02.480 welcome to the program
00:29:04.020 how are you
00:29:04.720 i'm doing great
00:29:07.040 and i remember 2014
00:29:09.040 that i was looking forward to get on your tv show with the bob fool
00:29:13.360 yeah
00:29:13.760 but it's okay you find me now
00:29:15.860 okay yeah

00:29:23.940 and if anybody wants to follow her
00:29:26.060 or twitter is lily for the number four liberty
00:29:29.260 and um and uh i want to talk to you about that
00:29:33.220 but i'd like to start at the beginning
00:29:34.540 and lily this might take a couple of episodes
00:29:37.240 i don't know if you have time tomorrow
00:29:38.960 but i might ask you to come back tomorrow
00:29:40.700 because i think your backstory is so important
00:29:43.860 and i've only got about 25 minutes with you today
00:29:47.180 um so
00:29:48.600 but let's explore and see what
00:29:50.880 see what see what happens
00:29:52.180 before we get into esg
00:29:54.260 which you're fighting against
00:29:55.800 and have a lot to say about
00:29:57.400 could you just please go through
00:29:59.440 you were born in in china
00:30:01.720 you were born in a poor working family
00:30:04.380 and it was right before the cultural revolution right
00:30:08.020 correct yes two years before mao
00:30:11.600 um the great authoritarian cultural revolution
00:30:15.840 okay so i i have
00:30:19.620 i believe we are in a cultural revolution right now
00:30:22.560 not far off from mao
00:30:24.880 less violence obviously
00:30:26.280 but we are you know
00:30:28.000 he made you stand in the open square
00:30:29.660 and and confess and and denounce your parents
00:30:33.140 and everything else
00:30:33.760 and we are so close to that
00:30:35.760 would you agree or disagree with that
00:30:37.700 well i have been speak up
00:30:41.400 calling my two cultural revolutions
00:30:45.600 one i survived under mao
00:30:48.560 i was born in china
00:30:51.740 and went through his 10 years
00:30:54.260 social political chaos and indoctrination
00:30:58.060 and when he died
00:30:59.840 i was only 12 years old
00:31:03.100 the whole time i did not challenge anything
00:31:06.160 i accepted everything i was told
00:31:09.560 and i accepted five black classes
00:31:13.720 which is under you know
00:31:15.840 oppressors group
00:31:17.780 and the five red classes
00:31:19.620 which is under oppressed group
00:31:22.300 we were lucky i guess
00:31:24.640 to be red class
00:31:26.860 so therefore i could join mouth
00:31:29.560 young pioneer
00:31:30.760 red guard
00:31:31.920 and communist youth members
00:31:34.100 all for students
00:31:35.760 i was chanting long live to my mom
00:31:38.700 long live a communist party
00:31:40.140 in my schools every day
00:31:41.620 and the politics was in your face
00:31:44.780 in your life
00:31:46.020 like a 24 hours a day
00:31:48.740 you could not have a down time
00:31:50.540 you could not talk about anything
00:31:52.820 long political
00:31:53.720 i thought i was doing the right thing
00:31:57.040 by calling out
00:31:58.560 black class families
00:32:01.120 by eliminating them
00:32:03.440 wait wait wait wait wait wait
00:32:05.840 tell me what a black class family
00:32:08.040 would have been
00:32:08.740 you were working class and poor
00:32:10.960 what's a black class family
00:32:13.300 well it's a typical of course
00:32:16.380 the marxist also
00:32:17.740 a communist
00:32:18.700 term is oppressor
00:32:22.160 versus oppressed
00:32:23.420 but the mao went to even further
00:32:25.760 he divided all chinese citizens
00:32:28.900 because all chinese will have
00:32:30.420 same skin color race
00:32:31.840 but he used economical class
00:32:34.560 and political class
00:32:35.880 to put five black classes
00:32:38.140 which is called for example
00:32:40.380 rightist
00:32:41.520 bad influencers
00:32:43.280 land owners
00:32:45.020 country revolutionaries
00:32:47.220 and the potentially basically
00:32:49.400 capitalist rich people
00:32:51.620 all under black classes
00:32:54.260 but some are very subjective
00:32:55.880 like how do you define
00:32:57.300 bad influence
00:32:58.360 rightist
00:32:59.060 country revolutionaries
00:33:00.640 correct
00:33:01.180 on the other side
00:33:02.380 five red classes
00:33:04.360 it's based on your
00:33:06.100 economic status
00:33:07.200 like i was red
00:33:08.500 because my parents
00:33:09.600 were illiterate workers
00:33:11.300 class
00:33:11.840 and the peasants
00:33:13.360 and also the
00:33:15.040 revolutionary heroes
00:33:16.740 and soldiers
00:33:17.500 and all communist
00:33:18.600 party members
00:33:19.420 and coders
00:33:20.160 they were the red
00:33:21.340 classes
00:33:22.180 so we were fighting
00:33:24.260 against each other
00:33:25.720 tooth and nail
00:33:26.560 my memory
00:33:27.780 started as a child
00:33:29.280 the black classes
00:33:30.840 family would go
00:33:31.860 to public square
00:33:33.240 to lower their head
00:33:35.080 to apologize
00:33:36.280 to be public
00:33:37.680 shamed
00:33:38.420 and to throw rocks
00:33:39.800 at
00:33:40.180 and
00:33:40.980 by red guards
00:33:42.420 red guards
00:33:43.380 were shutting down
00:33:44.360 schools
00:33:45.060 by mouth
00:33:45.860 and told the red guards
00:33:47.540 to go
00:33:48.140 unleash
00:33:49.120 your political
00:33:50.120 activism
00:33:50.960 against all
00:33:52.080 black families
00:33:53.060 so that's what
00:33:54.240 i saw
00:33:54.720 when i was
00:33:55.220 little girl
00:33:55.680 at the height
00:33:56.380 of cultural
00:33:57.120 revolution
00:33:57.640 about 67
00:33:58.840 68
00:34:00.000 that you saw
00:34:01.480 those very scary
00:34:03.180 public square
00:34:04.500 struggle sessions
00:34:05.540 we you know
00:34:06.400 people start to
00:34:07.480 discover them
00:34:08.060 now in america
00:34:08.860 called a struggle
00:34:09.520 session
00:34:09.900 and so so we
00:34:12.400 have now
00:34:13.640 if i if i
00:34:15.300 understand this
00:34:15.840 right
00:34:16.060 you were encouraged
00:34:17.760 to take some
00:34:19.520 of these things
00:34:20.180 on yourself
00:34:20.900 not just in the
00:34:22.060 public square
00:34:22.860 but you were
00:34:24.000 encouraged to
00:34:25.100 shun
00:34:25.740 ban
00:34:26.360 or whatever
00:34:27.440 black class
00:34:28.480 families on your
00:34:29.400 own
00:34:29.740 well we were
00:34:31.940 in doctoring
00:34:32.900 school like that
00:34:33.720 also everything
00:34:34.660 in our community
00:34:35.540 is we live in a
00:34:36.660 family like like
00:34:37.680 basically community
00:34:38.980 housing um you
00:34:41.220 know provided by
00:34:42.020 my dad's factory
00:34:43.120 and 6 30 every
00:34:44.600 morning there was
00:34:45.760 loudspeaker come on
00:34:47.220 because we were
00:34:48.240 next to the school
00:34:49.260 to tell us get up
00:34:51.040 and go to work
00:34:52.200 and go to school
00:34:52.940 long-liver to my
00:34:53.780 mom eliminate
00:34:54.920 black class
00:34:55.640 families and
00:34:56.980 it just it's in
00:34:58.720 your face every day
00:34:59.580 it's like an
00:35:00.060 action when i think
00:35:01.300 about it when i wake
00:35:02.120 up it was like a
00:35:03.400 concentration camp
00:35:04.500 every day you have
00:35:05.500 loudspeakers come on
00:35:06.600 you cannot sleep in
00:35:07.660 you cannot be late
00:35:09.060 and you have to
00:35:09.860 chant slogans
00:35:10.800 then you go to
00:35:11.660 school for the
00:35:12.420 first 15 minutes
00:35:14.040 we sing the red
00:35:15.320 song we hold a
00:35:16.520 little mouse read
00:35:17.380 books and the
00:35:18.700 way we'll do some
00:35:19.660 little bit even
00:35:20.340 dancing moves
00:35:21.280 then we start to
00:35:22.380 sit down to study
00:35:23.320 chinese and a
00:35:24.320 math it was
00:35:25.700 long stop
00:35:26.320 and you
00:35:26.640 wow
00:35:27.740 um and you
00:35:30.000 um i've got to
00:35:32.020 ask this question
00:35:32.600 let me just change
00:35:33.520 this real quick
00:35:34.060 did math include
00:35:36.060 indoctrination as
00:35:37.060 well or was it
00:35:37.900 just straight
00:35:38.420 math
00:35:38.860 back then it
00:35:41.220 was a simple
00:35:42.340 straight math
00:35:43.240 traditionally chinese
00:35:44.820 value math and
00:35:46.220 science and the
00:35:47.320 technology but
00:35:48.540 during mouse
00:35:49.380 cultural revolution
00:35:50.380 though he
00:35:51.220 canceled schools he
00:35:52.920 closed down all
00:35:53.720 schools he canceled
00:35:55.060 the individual
00:35:55.980 meritocracy and
00:35:57.400 the academic
00:35:58.240 excellence and the
00:35:59.860 scientists
00:36:00.280 correct so
00:36:00.880 somebody took
00:36:01.680 college exam for
00:36:02.940 example right
00:36:04.180 after like
00:36:04.860 miles um he
00:36:07.100 turning a blank
00:36:08.180 paper like i'm
00:36:09.800 not gonna do this
00:36:10.440 test it's like
00:36:11.600 test is not
00:36:12.400 politically correct
00:36:13.480 i'm a worker i
00:36:14.680 don't need a test
00:36:15.460 so he turning a
00:36:16.760 blank page and
00:36:18.040 get a zero for
00:36:19.160 his math and
00:36:21.060 he become a
00:36:21.780 hero he was
00:36:23.480 like in
00:36:23.820 you wow
00:36:24.560 he's a pure
00:36:26.340 workers class and
00:36:27.680 we don't need a
00:36:28.280 test we don't need
00:36:29.120 academic excellence
00:36:30.520 so why bother all
00:36:31.920 the my gosh
00:36:32.720 oh chinese chinese
00:36:34.600 culture which is
00:36:35.780 a value excellence
00:36:37.560 in academics
00:36:38.640 how similar i mean
00:36:42.380 do you ever just
00:36:43.700 kind of break out in
00:36:44.480 a cold sweat when
00:36:45.260 you see what's
00:36:45.840 happening now in
00:36:46.660 your new country of
00:36:47.860 america and just
00:36:48.840 go guys what is
00:36:49.880 wrong with you can't
00:36:50.720 you see what's
00:36:51.180 coming well i was

00:36:58.620 communism and
00:37:00.020 moral foundation

00:37:01.940 noticed our
00:37:02.580 school kids do
00:37:03.560 not know the
00:37:04.580 real history their
00:37:05.700 eyes were huge

00:37:09.000 and the teachers
00:37:09.960 even don't know so
00:37:10.860 i wonder what
00:37:11.560 they learn in
00:37:12.260 teachers college

00:37:14.300 years to be honest

00:37:19.480 to think about my
00:37:20.680 past my childhood

00:37:23.680 going on in my
00:37:24.380 new country this
00:37:25.380 looks so similar
00:37:27.160 similar terms
00:37:28.660 tactics and
00:37:30.280 identity politics
00:37:32.440 then toppling down
00:37:33.740 statues and burning
00:37:35.400 down buildings and
00:37:36.980 the looting and the
00:37:38.160 violence the mob
00:37:39.360 dominated the
00:37:40.240 straight and
