The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Sen. Ted Cruz & Lt. Col. Allen West ｜ 11⧸12⧸20

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the podcast. Today, we have Ted Cruz on the program to talk about the latest

00:00:04.920 going on with the vote count and where that is headed.

00:00:09.940 He won't. We also have Alan Weston, who was awesome. He was really responsible in a big way

00:00:15.340 for keeping Texas red, which was fantastic. We talked about the latest with the coronavirus

00:00:21.300 situation. Super, well, super hot. Venezuela and Yugoslavia. 0.79

00:00:27.560 Eating dogs.

00:00:28.360 Dogs are tasty. We have a new recipe coming up in the program today.

00:00:32.880 It's weird when you see what Venezuela went through and what happened in Yugoslavia.

00:00:37.380 Wait, I mean, stuff I don't think you've heard, at least like this, anyplace else.

00:01:10.520 Mm-hmm. Great.

00:01:18.240 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:25.420 Senator Ted Cruz from the great state of Texas joins us now to talk a little bit about election

00:01:32.100 integrity. Also, what's going on with the Senate and the importance of the GOP winning the Georgia

00:01:39.780 runoff elections. But that is, I think we're in a world of hurt because of, you know, they

00:01:47.760 will send residents down to just take up shop. They're already suggesting and encouraging people

00:01:55.020 to do this. It's crazy what's going on. Ted Cruz, welcome to the program.

00:01:59.100 Glenn, good to be back. Thanks for having me. So let's first of all start with Donald Trump and

00:02:05.900 the lawyers and the affidavits. Do you see anything here that is disturbing to you that you think will

00:02:16.460 make an impact? Well, there's certainly a lot disturbing. What we've got to do is let the legal

00:02:23.360 process play out. And we have now multiple cases pending in multiple states challenging the outcomes

00:02:31.080 of the election, calling for recounts, contesting the election. And that litigation has to be

00:02:37.000 adjudicated. And, you know, it's very difficult for any of us, for you or me or for someone reading

00:02:42.780 Twitter, to know what exactly is right and accurate about these allegations and what isn't.

00:02:47.980 That's why we have a judicial system. We have a judicial system to test facts. And the obligation

00:02:55.240 now of the Trump campaign's lawyers is to go and prove their case, put on direct evidence,

00:03:01.140 put on expert witnesses, have it subjected to cross-examination and prove up the case. And

00:03:07.020 the overarching objective should be to ensure that every legal vote is counted, but also that

00:03:15.800 every vote that was illegally cast is not counted. And that's the process that's playing out right

00:03:21.160 now. Do you have any idea why the rejection rate of the mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania was 0.03

00:03:28.620 when the best they have is usually just under one, but new voters who are voting for the first time

00:03:36.920 with mail-in ballots, the rejection rate is usually 3%. Out of 2.6 million, they rejected 951 ballots.

00:03:44.620 That's almost a perfect game.

00:03:50.040 Yeah. And that certainly suggests that when those ballots come under the next set of scrutiny,

00:03:55.940 that you're going to see a significant additional set of ballots invalidated. So one of the things

00:04:02.460 that gives the greatest cause for optimism is this election in the time of COVID, there's a pretty

00:04:09.280 marked disparity in terms of how the votes were distributed. On election day, with in-person

00:04:15.500 voting, Donald Trump won a significant majority of the votes cast by in-person voting on election day.

00:04:23.480 Of mail-in voting, Joe Biden won a significant majority of the votes cast early on mail-in voting.

00:04:32.160 Now, here's the good news. If you look historically to recounts, if you look historically to election

00:04:39.380 litigation, the votes cast in-person on election day tend to stand. It's sort of hard to screw that

00:04:48.340 up. Those votes are generally legal and they're not set aside. Mail-in votes historically have a much

00:04:54.720 higher rate of rejection, which is what you pointed out than when they're examined. There are a whole

00:05:00.060 series of legal requirements that vary state by state, but mail-in voters, mail-in votes consistently

00:05:05.820 have a higher rate of rejection, which suggests that as these votes begin being examined and subject

00:05:12.100 to scrutiny, that you're going to see Joe Biden's vote tallies go down. That's a good thing.

00:05:19.400 The challenge is for President Trump to prevail, he's got to run the table. He's got to win,

00:05:26.540 not just in one state, but in several states. That makes it a lot harder to prevail in the

00:05:31.680 litigation. I hope that he does so, but it is a real challenge and we shouldn't try to convince

00:05:39.360 ourselves otherwise. So before we go to Georgia, let me express a feeling that I have and that I think a

00:05:46.860 lot of people who voted for Donald Trump have, we have seen the evidence on what the media has done.

00:05:54.500 We've seen the evidence of what was happening in Ukraine. We have seen the evidence of the Russian 1.00

00:06:00.500 collusion case and no one ever seems to pay for their crimes. We know what Hillary Clinton did. We 0.98

00:06:09.140 know what Barack Obama did. I mean, we could go back all the way to Benghazi or beyond. And again,

00:06:15.720 no one pays for the crime. I think people feel like who's going to fight for me that's not

00:06:24.160 beholden to the system. Who's going to fight for me if Donald Trump goes away?

00:06:30.480 I understand that sentiment. You're right. I think that the single best characteristic of President

00:06:37.460 Trump is that he stands up and fights. And all of us are so tired of Republican politicians that just

00:06:45.140 roll over that are not willing to fight, that are scared to take a punch, scared to have the media

00:06:51.020 criticize them. And Trump is not. And it is something sorely needed to have strong leaders

00:07:00.220 who will actually fight for us. Now, you talked about people being held accountable. I am beyond

00:07:07.060 frustrated that we've gone through four years of the administration and none of the people who

00:07:13.280 committed criminal conduct, uh, politicizing the Department of Justice, politicizing the FBI,

00:07:21.100 politicizing the intelligence operation. None of them have been held accountable. None of them have

00:07:26.080 been prosecuted. And, and, and, and it's, it's mad. But it's, it's, it's also the loss of trust in our

00:07:34.440 system. Uh, and I think the loss of the Republic, if, if no one goes to jail or pays for the,

00:07:41.400 the crimes and we don't root out the bad guys. And I think that opportunity is slipping through our

00:07:47.360 fingers. What do we have left dead? You're, you're right. And, and a big part of the problem. So for

00:07:53.600 the first couple of years, Jeff Sessions was the attorney general and, and, you know, Jeff is a

00:07:59.460 decent man for whom the job was simply too big. He was not up for the job. He did not do a good job

00:08:07.000 of it. And there was no accountability for the first couple of years. Bill Barr came in. Barr is,

00:08:13.120 is a much better attorney general. I'm grateful at least that Barr has initiated investigations and

00:08:19.000 assigned prosecutors to go after these folks, but they haven't done it yet. And, and, and we are

00:08:23.780 potentially running out of time. So, so I don't know what the hell's taking, I don't know either long,

00:08:30.120 but, but it is, you know, from my perspective in the Senate, sometimes, you know, it's interesting.

00:08:36.280 Social media is interesting. I'll have people yell at me. Well, Cruz, why don't, why don't you

00:08:40.880 prosecute them? Under our constitutional system, that's not actually an authority I have. Right.

00:08:48.600 I'm in the legislature. I can introduce legislation. I can pass legislation. I can convene hearings and I've

00:08:55.040 chaired hearings repeatedly. Uh, in fact, would just, just this week, we had Andrew McCabe, the former

00:09:01.520 deputy director at the FBI, um, who, who at the hearing, I cross examined and lit him up, but I

00:09:09.540 don't have the ability to convene a grand jury and secure an indictment. Only the executive branch

00:09:14.840 can do that. And so I can call for it. Uh, but it's gotta be the executive branch that actually

00:09:20.860 executes. All right. Let me, cause we're going to run out of time. Is it true? You can move to

00:09:26.740 Georgia and then move away after you voted? Well, you can, uh, there is some possibility.

00:09:34.160 If you do that, you'll get prosecuted for voter fraud, but that would be after the fact. And that

00:09:38.500 would be after, uh, a crazy left-wing socialist Democrat was elected. And, and, and let me be very 0.84

00:09:45.000 clear. If the Democrats win these two seats and it's very possible that they win these two seats,

00:09:50.560 then we go from a 52 48 Senate to a 50 50 Senate. If Joe Biden is president, that means Chuck Schumer

00:09:58.720 is majority leader. And if Chuck Schumer is majority leader, there will be zero constraints on the most

00:10:05.460 radical left-wing ideas they're pursuing. If Chuck Schumer is majority leader, they will end the

00:10:10.400 filibuster. They will pass a massive tax increase. They will enact the green new deal, which will destroy

00:10:17.540 millions of jobs, especially in the state of Texas. And not only that, they will add two new

00:10:23.500 states to the union designed to get four new democratic senators immediately. And they will

00:10:29.620 pack the U S Supreme court. They will add four new left-wing activist judges who will take away our

00:10:35.960 free speech rights, our religious Liberty rights, our second amendment rights. All of that threat is a

00:10:41.340 clear and present danger. And we've, and it all happens January 5th, one way or the other.

00:10:46.780 So what do we do?

00:10:49.220 When, uh, that, that, that is the only answer is to win Georgia. I am traveling to Georgia. I'm spending

00:10:55.640 money. I'm, I'm sending my team. I'm engaging in resources. Uh, I, I mean, I'm doing everything I can

00:11:02.680 to turn out conservatives, turn out freedom loving Georgians, turn out anybody, because this is a

00:11:11.020 fight. It's not just for Georgia. It is now for the entire country. Let me know if there's anything

00:11:15.780 we can do to help on the ground there. Cause, uh, I, we are in deep trouble, Ted deep, deep,

00:11:21.880 deep, deep trouble. If they get it, Joe Manchin said, he's not going to, you know, he won't pass any

00:11:26.780 of those things, but I don't really want to risk the country, uh, on hoping and wishing that somebody

00:11:33.860 on the other side is going to rescue us. I don't believe Manchin at all. And, and if Schumer is

00:11:42.600 majority leader, I'll tell you who is effectively majority leader is AOC because Schumer will be

00:11:48.900 terrified of being primary from the left by AOC. He's seen too many Democrats defeated to left-wing

00:11:56.760 primary challenges. That means there is nothing, absolutely nothing Schumer wouldn't do to appease

00:12:04.620 AOC in the far left. That is dangerous. And, and look, let's just take one component of the stakes,

00:12:10.340 packing the court, which I'm absolutely convinced they will do if they get power. As you know,

00:12:16.060 I've got a new book that just came out, one vote away, how a single Supreme court seat can change

00:12:21.860 history. That book, each chapter goes through a different constitutional liberty and explains from

00:12:28.160 the inside, uh, how our free speech, our religious liberties, our second amendment, that they all hang

00:12:34.480 by a single vote. And it tells war stories about the big landmark cases at the court. You know, the book

00:12:40.500 one vote away also has a chapter on Bush versus Gore. Uh, as you know, I was part of the legal team that

00:12:45.860 represented George W. Bush in that case. And, and so I take readers behind the scenes as to what

00:12:51.420 happened, uh, in Tallahassee 20 years ago in Bush versus Gore. We're seeing that happen right now

00:12:57.400 across the country. So if you want to understand what's going on in these recounts, if you want to

00:13:01.100 understand how this plays out and what to expect next, you can get one vote away on Amazon or Barnes and

00:13:08.460 Noble or wherever you get books. It's been a New York times bestseller five weeks in a row now,

00:13:13.880 which Glenn, you know, congratulations, I'm crazy. Yeah, it does. They hate that. You have done that

00:13:19.760 many times and they hate writing your name and they hate writing my name. I know they do. Um,

00:13:24.740 real quick, do we have, we had you, uh, you know, Bush versus Gore. Um, we had some of the best

00:13:31.440 attorneys in the country. Do we have the best attorneys now? Um, no. And, and, and, and one of the

00:13:40.000 things that I have urged, urged the president and, and the Trump legal team is, is to bring in, uh,

00:13:47.080 bigger guns. Um, I'll, I'll, I'll tell you candidly, some of the, some of the top lawyers

00:13:52.000 have not been eager to jump into this. And, and it, um, that is a frustrating dynamic. I, I wish

00:13:59.560 if you look at what happened in Bush versus Gore, the team that was assembled, I think was

00:14:04.540 the dream team of litigators. And, and, and unfortunately they have not done the same

00:14:11.100 thing here. Ted Cruz. Thank you so much. God bless. Thank you. God bless.

00:14:18.600 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:20.760 We know this man. Um, we know this man and we know the ribbons and the metals that, uh,

00:14:37.700 have been on his chest for a long time. Uh, and, uh, and the service he has given to the United States,

00:14:46.000 the service that he has just rendered to the Lone Star State is remarkable. I think he is,

00:14:52.020 and he's going to say no, but I think he is single-handedly the biggest reason why Texas,

00:14:57.380 uh, did not have a blue wave. His name, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West. Allen, how are you?

00:15:05.240 Good Glenn. But you know, one of the lessons that I learned in the military is that leaders never take

00:15:10.120 credit. They only take responsibility. So this victory in Texas, uh, belongs to the grassroots

00:15:15.820 activists, all those volunteers, all of those people who were out in the hot Texas sun knocking

00:15:21.060 on doors and, you know, holding rallies and things of that nature. I'm just so proud to be here in

00:15:27.040 Texas, proud of the folks that I got the opportunity to be with over these past five or six months leading

00:15:32.520 up to last Tuesday. But, uh, our work continues. Uh, what we have seen, these incredible gains, we

00:15:38.620 cannot go backwards. We have to make sure that we continue to, uh, to, to expand those gains,

00:15:44.260 especially with the success we saw in the Rio Grande Valley. Um, Allen, are these, the people

00:15:49.340 that have been elected, uh, they're, they're, they're Texans, at least at heart, right? I mean,

00:15:56.820 there, there used to be a time I lived here in the eighties and Texas was a very different place.

00:16:02.300 It was very proud, but not, not to denigrate any other state. It was proud that it was different

00:16:09.100 and it was proud to be free. And I'm not sure with all the influx that's coming in that,

00:16:14.840 that Texans really understand that anymore. Well, I think one of the critical things that you 0.99

00:16:21.660 have to have happen is I always stress the most important elected position in the, in the United

00:16:27.360 States of America, definitely here in Texas, the school board. So we've got to get back to teaching

00:16:31.840 what makes Texas unique, what makes Texas so special, but also we need to make sure we're sharing that

00:16:38.000 message with the adults that are moving into Texas. So I think we have to challenge ourselves

00:16:42.940 when we see that U-Haul van that comes in a family from a different place. We've got to go up with

00:16:47.660 that welcome wagon mentality and tell them, welcome to Texas, but why are you here? And then we've got

00:16:52.640 to explain to them why you are here. Right. Um, Allen, what, uh, did we make gains on school boards?

00:16:58.640 Did we, did you see any of that? Are you watching down at that level? Yes. Uh, the, the school board

00:17:05.400 races and the state board of education that, uh, we had, uh, three open positions that were up. We, we

00:17:11.440 maintain, uh, those majorities as well. And, uh, there were some school board elections that were on

00:17:17.340 this November ballot. They were pushed forward because of the COVID issues, uh, May, uh, March through

00:17:22.820 May, but you've got a new round of, uh, municipal elections. They'll be coming up, uh, next May. And so the

00:17:29.240 city councils and school boards, you know, county commission seats, the county clerk seats, that's

00:17:34.440 where we now need to focus to build that, you know, that solid foundation, that solid base, the next

00:17:39.560 generation of strong constitutional conservatives. Is, is Texas prepared to stand alone if need be?

00:17:48.400 I mean, I've been very impressed with, uh, Christy Noem up in, uh, South Dakota. Are, are we prepared to

00:17:55.360 stand alone if there's a, a federal mask mandate or, uh, you know, a federal grab for guns or, uh,

00:18:06.500 you know, the next thing that would probably happen is everybody has to be on a registry. No.

00:18:11.800 Yeah. Yeah. You know, no, you're absolutely right. And as a matter of fact, you know, that

00:18:15.520 vice, uh, president, uh, candidate, uh, Kamala Harris has said that she used executive orders 0.96

00:18:21.720 to undermine the second amendment and come and take it is not just a bumper sticker slogan here

00:18:26.800 in Texas. It's a way of life. It's a way of thinking. And I really believe that you will see

00:18:31.320 Texas see itself as a leader, a beacon of liberty and freedom for the United States of America.

00:18:37.060 And as I've always said, and you have reiterated also, so goes Texas, so goes the nation. So if we,

00:18:43.740 if, if Joe Biden and these folks think that they're going to get in office and start talking about,

00:18:48.000 you know, open borders and, and, and allowing people to flood into the United States of America,

00:18:52.600 I'm quite sure here in Texas, we'll say, well, they may be able to come in through Arizona or

00:18:57.380 somewhere else, but they're not going to come into Texas. I hope you're right. Uh, I hope you're

00:19:02.680 right. I'm, I'm very concerned. Um, how concerned are you about winning Georgia?

00:19:08.860 Well, you know, that's my state where I was born and raised. And I think that the most important

00:19:13.460 thing that you've seen happen in Georgia, just the same as here in Texas, we are seeing

00:19:17.840 progressive socialists come in and take over the major urban population centers. And in Atlanta,

00:19:23.260 that, that is it. The Atlanta metropolitan area, Fulton County, Gwinnett County, uh, DeKalb County,

00:19:28.640 Cobb County. Uh, but when you get outside that metropolitan area, you get back into Georgia.

00:19:33.400 So I think the very important thing that we have to do, and I've been asked to come back to,

00:19:38.200 to Georgia and help out those senatorial, uh, races. And, and I'm looking forward to,

00:19:44.100 we're just going to coordinate some dates. I think we can hold on to Georgia, but again,

00:19:48.380 we've got to get out there and take our message to all parts of that state. The largest state

00:19:53.200 east of the Mississippi river is Georgia. If, if God forbid, uh, Joe Biden is our president,

00:20:00.440 uh, who is, how do we continue to make progress without, uh, Donald Trump? How do we make progress

00:20:11.160 with Hispanics and with the African American community? I mean, he did for the first time

00:20:17.480 make real inroads there and we need to continue doing that. You're, you're absolutely right. And

00:20:24.320 that's, uh, my mission here in Texas. And I would hope that other state party chairmen, uh, see that

00:20:30.200 and they will make it their mission. And the Republican party as a whole should do that.

00:20:33.880 You know, my first trip, uh, after becoming the chairman for the Republican party of Texas was to

00:20:38.540 the Rio Grande Valley. And my last trip before the election, uh, just last Tuesday was back going

00:20:44.580 through the Rio Grande Valley from Harlingen, all the way up to Del Rio. And in between, you know,

00:20:48.920 I was going back down there and that's the, the, it's not about outreach, Glenn. It's about

00:20:53.960 engagement. It's about policy inclusiveness. And that's what Donald Trump did when he said in 2016

00:20:59.540 to the black community, what have you got to lose? He was absolutely right. He was the first 1.00

00:21:03.720 Republican that ever said that. And he backed it up with the policies. And so the Republican party of

00:21:09.720 Texas, one of the, the, the, the points I've been brought up, bringing it out, it was founded on

00:21:14.620 Independence Day of 1867 by 150 black men. When you make that type of knowledge known,

00:21:21.920 then you get people's attention. And there comes the amazing way you can create that delineation

00:21:27.440 and that separation between the progressive socialist, the Democrat party, who are the

00:21:31.580 true purveyors of systemic racism in America and what the Republican party has always stood for.

00:21:37.200 So that's what we have to do. It's got to be about engagement. I will make sure I continue to do

00:21:42.360 that. All right. I know you have to run. Can I ask you one more question about the Dominion

00:21:45.980 voting system? It's it's being discredited now, but it was discredited in Texas, you know,

00:21:53.920 before the elections, we passed on that voting system. And I want to get the exact quote Dominion

00:22:01.300 voted citizen, which has been used multiple States where fraud has been alleged, blah, blah, blah. It

00:22:06.360 has been rejected by the Texas secretary of state attorney general's office for failing to meet basic

00:22:11.480 security standards. Any comment on that voting system?

00:22:15.940 Well, it is huge. And I think that's one of the problems. This is not just a little software glitch.

00:22:20.500 This is a systemic problem within that Dominion system. And I think, number one, we should look at

00:22:25.740 who is in charge of Dominion. And also we should be asking the questions of those secretaries of

00:22:31.280 state and attorney general. Did you go through the same due diligence as we did here in Texas? And

00:22:35.780 that's why Texas is going to continue to be a leader in America.

00:22:38.420 Alan West. Thank you. Thank you again for everything that you have done for your country

00:22:43.960 and and for the great state of Texas, the head of the Republican Party here in Texas. Thank you.

00:22:53.480 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:22:56.100 I want to invite you to educate your own family. We are entering a time now where I mean,

00:23:16.960 it was crazy to think to vote for Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders now is actually campaigning for

00:23:24.260 the labor secretary position. Labor secretary. Do you know how bad things will get if he's in charge

00:23:31.820 of labor with the labor unions and everything else? Oh, my gosh.

00:23:39.220 Well, Kamala Harris tweeted out on a video the other day just before the election,

00:23:46.360 a tease, a tease, a teaser of what she she hopes is on the way. Here it is.

00:23:53.040 So there's a big difference between equality and equity. Equality suggests, oh, everyone should get

00:23:58.840 the same amount. The problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the same place.

00:24:04.420 So if we're all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and I started out over here,

00:24:08.920 we could get the same amount, but you're still going to be that far back behind me.

00:24:14.360 It's about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be

00:24:20.740 on equal footing and then compete on equal footing. Equitable treatment means we all end up at the

00:24:28.260 same place. Okay. So that's not America. That's that's not that's not the free market. That's not even

00:24:36.720 natural in any way to have everybody end up at the same place, because we're not the same.

00:24:43.700 We have different desires, different different amounts of things we're willing to tolerate.

00:24:51.720 I mean, successful people are successful because they do a lot of stuff that others won't.

00:24:56.620 You know, they they work harder, longer hours, not always. But generally speaking, they have done

00:25:05.360 something in their life that that puts them in a position of being right there. We're not we're not

00:25:13.160 all Hunter Biden's. We can't all be crackheads and somehow or another millionaires as well.

00:25:18.880 Okay. That's a life of privilege. That's what happens when governments are in control of

00:25:25.460 everything and there are no rules.

00:25:30.100 Alexander Solzhenitsyn was a Russian dissident. He spent years in the gulags in the Soviet Union

00:25:37.380 because he criticized Stalin. He eventually got out and defected to the U.S. and he was really clear

00:25:44.300 on how socialism progresses. Listen to how he put it.

00:25:51.200 He said liberalism was inevitably displaced by radicalism. Radicalism had to surrender to

00:25:58.780 socialism and socialism could never resist communism. Guess which stage America is in right now.

00:26:08.480 We're in the radicalism phase, which leads then to the socialism phase.

00:26:17.440 A few weeks ago, the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation released its annual report on U.S.

00:26:23.900 attitudes towards socialism, communism and collectivism. The survey basically confirms what

00:26:29.540 stage America is in. Survey finds 40 percent of Americans have a favorable view of socialism up

00:26:35.980 from 36 percent last year. Among Generation Z, those born after 1996, 49 percent prefer socialism.

00:26:45.840 30 percent have a positive view of Marxism. 26 percent of Americans, all Americans, support the gradual

00:26:53.980 elimination of capitalism in favor of a more socialist system. And only 44 percent of Generation Z think the

00:27:00.880 American flag most accurately represents freedom. This is where we're headed. This is where we're headed.

00:27:10.240 And radicalism, socialism, then into authoritarianism. Let me give you this quote from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

00:27:18.880 Last Friday, after after Biden had had been preaching unity, she said,

00:27:27.300 Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity

00:27:33.720 in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted tweets, writings, photos in the future.

00:27:40.120 End quote. She talks as if, and so does the left, the radicals, that that Trump is guilty of some

00:27:47.460 sort of war crime or genocide. And then again, I guess that is the equivalent of genocide for most

00:27:54.660 Democrats. If it's a, if it's a tax cut, that's practically genocide to these crazy people. 0.98

00:28:00.920 Former members of the Obama Biden administration have set up a website called the Trump Accountability

00:28:07.300 Project we told you about earlier this week. Remember what they did, it says. We should not

00:28:13.240 allow the following groups of people to profit from their experience. Those who elected him,

00:28:18.340 those who staffed his government, and those who funded him. So anybody who supported at all

00:28:24.160 Donald Trump, you shouldn't be able to get a job or be welcome in the, in the public square.

00:28:34.620 The arrogance is the same arrogance that we see in history books. They set up a Twitter account just

00:28:46.060 last week. It already has over 4,000 followers. It's the start of blacklists. That's what it is.

00:28:52.420 You know who else created blacklists, held show trials, executed millions of their political enemies,

00:28:58.520 Stalin and Mao. Those Generation Z people who think communism sounds pretty neat. Stalin and Mao 0.99

00:29:05.720 were communists. So how did, how did we get here? Honestly,

00:29:12.200 listen to Marion Smith. She's the executive director of the Victims of Communism Memorial

00:29:18.760 Foundation. Here's what she said. This represents a total failure of our education system,

00:29:25.720 not just in schools, but also basic dishonesty in our media and popular culture. When one in four

00:29:31.800 Americans want to eliminate the free market and embrace socialism, we know we've failed to educate

00:29:37.620 about the historic and moral failings of those ideologies. This shift in how Americans perceive

00:29:48.740 their country has been a very long, deliberate project of the left. Let me give you what Ronald

00:29:57.460 Reagan said at the end of his term. This was his farewell address from the Oval Office. Listen.

00:30:03.300 An informed patriotism is what we want. And are we doing a good enough job teaching our children

00:30:09.460 what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world? We've got to do a better

00:30:14.680 job of getting across that America is freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of

00:30:21.640 enterprise. And freedom is special and rare. It's fragile. If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are.

00:30:30.500 I'm warning of an eradication of that, of the American memory that could result ultimately

00:30:36.480 in an erosion of the American spirit. We have forgotten who we are. And it has been intentional.

00:30:44.120 Do you know that after high school? After high school, most Americans never take another American

00:30:50.420 history class ever again. 82% of U.S. colleges don't require a single course in U.S. history or U.S.

00:31:00.500 government to earn a degree, many times, even a degree in history.

00:31:08.480 America is the evil empire. Over half a century, our universities have been just propaganda centers

00:31:15.840 for Marxism and anti-American statements and philosophy. America already has re-education camps.

00:31:24.960 They're called universities and colleges.

00:31:30.340 Who can really quote the Declaration of Independence?

00:31:35.560 Joe Biden can't even quote the Declaration of Independence.

00:31:41.140 And is that because he can't remember it because he's too old or senile or because he thinks parts of it now

00:31:47.860 are politically incorrect, that all men are created and endowed by their creator.

00:31:54.680 You know the thing.

00:31:55.520 The Marxist attacks on America's educational system are going to get much worse under a Biden-Harris administration.

00:32:07.820 He's considering picking the head of the teachers union to be the new secretary of education.

00:32:14.340 School choice is going away.

00:32:16.320 And I will bet you it's a matter of time before you can't educate your own kids.

00:32:25.320 This is going to be an uphill battle.

00:32:27.000 But the most important thing we can do right now is pay attention to what's happening in Georgia and help in any way we can.

00:32:37.260 We can't lose those two Senate seats.

00:32:39.860 The second thing that we have to do is educate ourselves and our children.

00:32:46.780 I announced a couple of weeks ago on a special for Mercury One that we are starting the American Journey experience.

00:32:57.000 And it is actually a physical place right across the brickyard here on the studio lot.

00:33:03.380 And we can't open it because of COVID.

00:33:06.360 We haven't moved forward on that.

00:33:07.880 Instead, we put all of our eggs into teaching.

00:33:12.000 And we have a program that starts, hopefully, depending on what's happening right now,

00:33:16.920 but hopefully we have our first class before the first of the year.

00:33:21.900 But this is going to be free.

00:33:23.620 If you want to watch it online, you'll get it on Blaze TV if you're a subscriber.

00:33:28.700 But you can get it on Mercury One for free, mercuryone.org.

00:33:32.460 And I think they're making it available to anybody who wants to post this.

00:33:36.760 You'll be able to get it on YouTube.

00:33:39.280 But you can watch this.

00:33:41.320 It's a three-day course that you can take that shows you the original documents,

00:33:47.160 shows you everything you need to know, questions everything that you think you know,

00:33:53.420 teaches you how to critically think.

00:33:56.460 We're doing the first class online for whole families soon.

00:34:03.360 I don't have a date just because of the presidential election mess.

00:34:07.600 But it's soon.

00:34:09.800 My family is going to be there.

00:34:11.620 We're taking it.

00:34:12.100 My kids are taking it.

00:34:13.140 My wife wants to take it. 1.00

00:34:14.320 I'm taking it.

00:34:16.420 And you'll take it with me.

00:34:19.360 What I want you to do is go to mercuryone.org right now and sign up for the class.

00:34:24.200 It's free.

00:34:25.540 We just want to know so we can alert you that it's coming.

00:34:30.540 It's this time.

00:34:32.180 Make sure you watch it.

00:34:33.320 If you want to involve your family, and that's either coming here or just watching it online,

00:34:40.540 whether where you are in the world, you just go to mercuryone.org right now and sign up.

00:34:46.980 That's mercuryone.org.

00:34:50.360 Sign up now for the American Journey experience.
