Transcript
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.

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.
00:00:43.080
From someone who went through it, which is interesting.

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.
00:03:50.040
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
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.
00:10:49.220
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.
00:14:20.760
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
00:25:30.100
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.
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.
00:31:30.340
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.
00:31:55.520
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.
00:32:16.320
And I will bet you it's a matter of time before you can't educate your own kids.
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.
00:32:39.860
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.
00:33:12.000
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.
00:33:23.620
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.
00:33:41.320
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,
00:33:56.460
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.
00:34:19.360
What I want you to do is go to mercuryone.org right now and sign up for the class.
00:34:25.540
We just want to know so we can alert you that it's coming.
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.
00:34:50.360
Sign up now for the American Journey experience.
