First, let us tell you about our Spotlight sponsor.
00:00:06.860
And this is something Stu brought to my attention along with Pat.
00:00:11.280
And I just couldn't believe that this is what's happening.
00:00:13.620
It is hard to believe that you can file a couple of pieces of paperwork and take someone's home.
00:00:22.160
They can forge a transfer with a nice little fake notary from the Internet for $40.
00:00:33.020
You're not looking at your documents every day.
00:00:36.220
And so then you get these late payment notices because someone's taken out a mortgage, a second mortgage against your equity.
00:00:43.740
You want to avoid that if at all possible with Home Title Lock.
00:00:55.460
And it is also something that everybody, everybody in your family, especially your parents need, especially if they've paid a lot of their mortgage off already.
00:01:19.720
It is May Day as as we have reports today from the FBI that says Antifa activists have tried to buy weapons from Mexican cartels to stage an armed rebellion at our border.
00:01:37.980
Chris Cuomo is saying that aspects of Antifa is good.
00:01:44.000
As we are clamoring to grab onto socialism, Venezuela is fighting for their lives to get out of it.
00:02:10.820
It is so vital in our country's history that we understand exactly where we are.
00:02:21.720
Socialism, a warning from the dead in one minute.
00:02:31.080
I have to tell you, I had a hard time sleeping last night.
00:02:34.780
I, I, I, um, for multiple reasons, but, uh, there are, there are, there are, there are things that I need to talk to you about today.
00:02:59.000
I felt the same exact way when I said, there's a caliphate coming.
00:03:08.640
And I need your help getting the word out today.
00:03:13.040
But I was up all night tossing and turning and couldn't sleep and all kinds of things, uh, happening.
00:03:21.760
And now I'm sitting in this ex-chair and I need a better chair than this.
00:03:25.580
I need, I need a different chair than, I need an uncomfortable chair or I'm going to fall directly to sleep.
00:03:31.240
On this special tonight, I'm also going to be sitting in my ex-chair.
00:03:34.440
I will fall right to sleep because it is the most comfortable chair and it keeps you upright.
00:03:39.640
I mean, it gives you the right, uh, you know, posture.
00:03:43.620
So it's like your Stu actually said to me yesterday, you know, he freaked out.
00:03:56.720
Uh, and you know, that could be, but it wasn't, it wasn't the case.
00:04:00.340
I was just listening to the guest and I had my eyes closed,
00:04:08.360
So, I mean, maybe if you're a boss, you don't want to buy these ex-chairs for, for people,
00:04:13.220
but, uh, I suggest you do because they're great.
00:04:17.380
They're very comfortable, but you can still actually get work done.
00:04:33.500
Imagine a darkness, something darker and scarier than the deepest parts of the ocean.
00:04:46.320
A house shackled by darkness because there isn't any electricity.
00:04:52.800
But then again, that's not the dark I'm talking about.
00:04:55.440
The real dark is the dark part that lives inside of you.
00:05:00.960
The things that you now have to do on a daily basis just to stay alive.
00:05:07.960
Around the corner, you hear the bestial shouts from a Caracas jail.
00:05:16.680
They feel they can do a better job of controlling themselves than whoever has been doing it lately.
00:05:21.860
It was a hundred years ago that this country was lavished in wealth.
00:05:30.920
You were healthy in that chubby 19th century Russian diplomat way.
00:05:42.680
You drool just thinking of the tender shredded beef and the carrot and oregano tinged broth.
00:05:48.000
You strode through steakhouses on special occasions.
00:06:02.980
Not because you were a drunk, but because you could.
00:06:05.720
Because you enjoyed the sprouting goodness that life had to offer.
00:06:08.960
Man, that life, it seemed like it was never going to end.
00:06:22.640
At times, you think about all the energy you waste just breathing.
00:06:36.900
Eggs that fall out of the backsides of chickens.
00:06:40.760
Your mouth quivers at the thought of a fried egg tender.
00:06:46.040
So tender it pops open with just the prod of a fork oozing onto the fried papaya and rotisserie chicken.
00:06:53.060
You've lost 120 pounds since it all started going to hell.
00:07:11.080
Although there was always the cinderblock hovels that you can see from the plane as you land in Caracas.
00:07:20.900
The office, where you used to work as an accountant, is now empty, abandoned, overtaken by squatters.
00:07:30.580
Who limp a little more each day toward their death.
00:07:33.380
Men all in black now patrol the streets with shotguns, black bulletproof vests, and black tarp-like shirts, and black pants, black military boots.
00:07:44.760
People hamper cars in the street because there's nowhere to go.
00:07:50.740
Gasping a bit, you rest below a crucifix statue, the left tilting head of Christ emblazoned in a soft and sad light, the burnished rise of daylight breathing into a new day.
00:08:06.960
Looking at Christ, perhaps for the first time, you understand suffering.
00:08:11.760
You understand his defeated look, the look of hopelessness and violence and death.
00:08:17.520
The hopelessness of surrendering, and surrendering until it stops mattering.
00:08:28.660
You have that one hope left, that all things will change.
00:08:33.940
But you really hope, that just anything begins to change.
00:08:43.900
Everybody was going to be able to live the high life.
00:08:51.960
And they are the ones that live behind the gates.
00:08:58.600
this is the socialist utopia they promised all of us as Venezuelans?
00:09:09.840
you begin to replay it all in your mind and wonder,
00:09:14.460
where are all those Americans, those celebrities, those from Hollywood,
00:09:24.960
and helped convince us that this was the road to prosperity.
00:09:44.040
Anyway, they were giving the Venezuela coverage.
00:09:47.000
In case you don't know, Venezuela is in revolution today.
00:10:14.140
It was what's going to repair our health care, our country.
00:10:39.980
With the help of Russia and other outside forces,
00:10:57.720
And as long as Nicolas Maduro controls the military,
00:11:02.660
That needs to be played at the top of every hour.
00:12:11.920

socialism because you have a uh book out uh that is what is it socialism is evil
01:26:46.540
yeah yeah easy title to remember yeah so that's what i was shooting for yeah i mean
01:26:50.480
it's pretty clear it's pretty clear uh and also you you uh are with
01:26:55.280
stopping socialism.com and i think we talked about this years ago on the air
01:26:59.560
when you said you were doing something or maybe i just talked about it i think you
01:27:04.300
just imagined this really but yeah yeah i think i just talked about it
01:27:07.880
yeah very well maybe the absolutely yes yes you did talk about it yeah and you
01:27:12.100
were just a guy who was you know you were you were a student i think at the
01:27:16.200
time and you were wanting to put up yeah this is something i've been wanting
01:27:19.400
to do for a very very long time and so the past what really with the rise of
01:27:23.720
alexandria ocasi cortez and bernie sanders i realized something absolutely had to be
01:27:28.860
done right away that way we couldn't wait any longer uh the country is going to
01:27:32.940
disappear in 10 years if we don't do something right now yeah i don't know if
01:27:36.460
we have so naturally i made a website because you know that saves the world
01:27:39.920
well you know what but i tell you getting the word out about socialism
01:27:43.520
because you know i was singing about it last night and i talked about it in hour
01:27:47.260
one and please if you have children please listen to the podcast today you can
01:27:51.840
listen to the podcast wherever you listen to podcasts just look for the
01:27:55.480
glenbeck program podcast and listen to hour one uh because i talk about how
01:28:01.260
socialism is truly evil uh and i there's i've tried to ban that word
01:28:08.740
from my lexicon i don't want to call people evil
01:28:11.100
i don't want to but this is truly evil yeah there's no question about it at all
01:28:17.020
and i think one of the primary things that i wanted to get across to people
01:28:20.240
especially young people is that this isn't an economic this isn't just about
01:28:24.120
economics economics are important but it's not just about economics this is
01:28:27.920
about morality even if you could uh create a a society where you had
01:28:33.120
socialism and it was actually effective and people weren't you know killing zoo
01:28:36.760
animals to survive which is how it always ends up
01:28:39.420
um it wouldn't matter because you would still have in a highly immoral
01:28:44.320
evil system that imposes why is it because it's easy to make the case that
01:28:48.660
socialism is moral because you just want to feed people you just want to help
01:28:54.060
people you want to make sure everybody has a job you want to make sure that
01:28:56.640
everybody has health care so it's easy to make that it's moral how do you make
01:29:01.480
the case that it's evil and immoral i think that the chink in the armor
01:29:13.840
say that they support diversity that's like the worst thing you could say about
01:29:19.440
or that they're not they don't support diversity
01:29:21.420
the problem with socialism is that you can't have diversity in socialism it is
01:29:31.160
democratic socialism yes voting voting in slavery by majority rule
01:29:38.020
does not make slavery just it makes it slavery that you voted for
01:29:44.860
that's right yeah i think uh benjamin franklin said democracy
01:29:48.600
is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner yes uh that's exactly
01:29:53.200
what the situation is here and so if you if you're a religious minority or
01:29:57.580
in society or you're a moral minority in society and eventually
01:30:01.800
everyone is a minority in society ideologically in some fashion
01:30:05.680
it doesn't matter what you want it doesn't in a socialist society it doesn't
01:30:09.600
matter what you want all that matters is the collective
01:30:11.540
collective becomes god they decide what's right they decide what's wrong they
01:30:16.360
decide which direction we should move in if they decide we're going to have
01:30:19.360
abortion then we're going to have abortion if they decide that we're going
01:30:21.920
to have uh physician assisted suicide then that's what we're going to have
01:30:25.380
if they decide we're going to round up japanese we'll round up japanese
01:30:28.860
exactly we're going to have slavery we will have slavery and if you oppose it
01:30:33.120
it doesn't matter and not only does it not matter that you don't oppose it you
01:30:35.840
have to pay for it you have to be a part owner of it this is this is what's crazy
01:30:40.440
is you know the the people don't like capitalism because they think that capitalism is so evil
01:30:48.040
because it does all of these things but you're not forced to buy stock in exxon or to buy
01:30:55.980
gasoline or to buy whatever it is you don't like and if it's truly immoral and hurting people
01:31:04.300
killing people you know whatever it is if it truly is a detriment you can work through the government
01:31:11.720
to get those things corrected there is a police officer to run to but if that system is taken away
01:31:20.240
all those capital tool capitalistic tools are then just brought into the government so now you have to
01:31:27.940
own it you have to be a part of it you cannot call the police because the police are part of it
01:31:34.280
we were talking about this with medicare for all just a minute ago i mean how many people are
01:31:38.600
employed by the medical insurance industry right now if you were to get basically what they're
01:31:43.780
arguing is we're just going to get rid of all these insurance companies you're talking about
01:31:46.700
hundreds of thousands of people at minimum that would be out of work and what would just
01:31:51.960
now go apply at the government and hopefully work there and we you know insurance companies can be
01:31:56.880
a pain in the ass there's no doubt about it but imagine going to the government with your
01:32:00.760
complaints right it would be much much worse yeah that that's absolutely true and it's not
01:32:05.040
just with health care uh that's the thing that we tend to focus on the most but it's not just with
01:32:09.500
health care look at the green new deal look at what they're trying to do with the green i mean
01:32:13.040
literally the green new deal the plan is this is the plan let's destroy millions of jobs and let's
01:32:18.560
just create a bunch of new government jobs and then the government's going to take care of you from
01:32:23.300
the womb to the tomb that's the plan and it's it's it's crazy that anybody actually thinks it's a good
01:32:28.920
idea to get rid of millions and millions and millions of jobs in the fossil fuel industry
01:32:33.960
i mean across the board gas stations how would any of this work they're just going to get rid of
01:32:38.820
millions of jobs overnight right well that's what they do that's that is what socialists do when they
01:32:45.020
take over they have to destroy the people who are against it or who have run it so you don't ever
01:32:52.960
have experts running things because they're usually in the gulag or they're dead farming when i heard
01:32:59.120
um elizabeth warren come out and say we've got to break up big farms my first thought was wait a minute
01:33:07.280
that's food and while i'm a small rancher and i own a small farm and i live in a community of very
01:33:15.840
small farmers who do have to compete with these industrialized farms you know what as much as i
01:33:24.520
don't like government getting you know giving bailouts and everything else to these government farms
01:33:29.320
let's not shut them down because you got nothing to replace it with and that's what happens in country
01:33:37.620
after country after country they immediately go after these big farms and the farmers they they usually
01:33:44.100
kill all of them right and then the people who have no idea what they're doing go in and try to
01:33:49.720
farm and everyone starves to death yeah isn't that funny the government doesn't actually know how to
01:33:54.680
manage any of these things that they want to regulate but they're always talking about regular i mean what
01:33:59.440
again the the thing that i talk about all the time with younger people especially is look at the
01:34:05.380
postal service look at amtrak that's just delivering mail and running the trains that's it and they can't do
01:34:13.060
those things without losing billions and billions of dollars shouldn't you have to at least learn how
01:34:17.120
to deliver mail without losing 3.9 billion dollars before i put you in charge of the health care
01:34:22.060
industry which is like 13 of gdp i mean but it just they are so convinced that this is a form of charity
01:34:29.900
that they don't care about the efficiency that's why you have to make a moral argument against it so but
01:34:35.400
here is the amazing thing and and justin you did such a great job at taking the green new deal apart
01:34:43.240
and talking about you know look if you really believed this why would you be talking about most
01:34:48.500
of this stuff right but if you look at the new green bill in the actual bill it talks several times about
01:34:56.200
its goal is to uh flip our economic system to a system of environmental and economic justice or social
01:35:08.560
justice so in it it talks about its main goal is to shut down capitalism and the free market right and
01:35:19.160
nobody's talking about it nobody that it's like wait you're writing that down yes they're not hiding it
01:35:25.540
no i mean this is a i mean i've been calling it a socialist trojan horse it's not even really a
01:35:30.460
trojan horse it's just right there it's there they're saying hey this is socialism you guys want
01:35:35.280
it or or what the the way the reason it's it's sort of a trojan horse is because the media won't tell
01:35:40.080
people the truth about it they don't talk about those elements of the green new deal they only talk
01:35:45.220
about the saving the planet part they don't want to talk about the rest of it because the rest of it is
01:35:50.660
crazy communistic you know right authoritarian yeah it's authoritarianism you don't even have to
01:35:57.280
talk about we should stop using maybe the word communism and socialism and just start we're using
01:36:02.000
the words authoritarian because that's what it is it's statism and authoritarianism and people get
01:36:08.980
caught up on socialism no that's not what we mean well it doesn't matter what you mean what matters is
01:36:15.660
what they mean and what they write down and it is authoritarian in its plans and stated goals
01:36:24.540

01:38:30.760
facebook um with this in mind um i've i made the decision this took us this special took us i can't
01:38:39.680
even tell you how many thousands of dollars this has cost us in two months of labor um and uh all the
01:38:47.420
man hours and i made the decision um to do it for free because i wanted the biggest audience possible
01:38:56.200
it this word has got to get out uh and we make a very good case tonight as you will see that uh
01:39:03.940
we're on the edge man this is it i mean we we're up to a place to where it's like one o'clock
01:39:09.540
it's it's closing time um and uh so i said let's put it out for free we're gonna no commercials in it
01:39:18.060
it'll run 90 minutes maybe two hours it'll be on facebook it will be on youtube and it will be on blaze tv
01:39:24.400
while i'm rehearsing i hear the producers all talking to the legal team and the legal team is
01:39:33.960
saying you can't play that or uh youtube is going to flag you we're going to be flagged like 50
01:39:41.920
different times tonight because of fair use we take news clips and things and we use them that's fair
01:39:49.220
use they're targeting they're not targeting everybody else they're targeting stephen crowder
01:39:54.540
is about to lose his youtube page the blaze could lose its youtube page um for fair use
01:40:01.480
how can you have a mass audience if netflix gives history to the obamas youtube make sure that you
01:40:15.220
are silenced if you're on the right and you can't get a mass to come behind a paywall because people
01:40:24.360
really don't even know what you're doing unless they've subscribed how do you do it what are we
01:40:30.260
facing yeah it's it's an existential threat to liberty uh facebook 43 percent of u.s adults get news
01:40:39.600
on facebook and facebook is the third most trafficked website in the entire world and so
01:40:46.020
they're controlling a huge amount of information and when you add them with google and you add them
01:40:51.700
to youtube and all of the others and twitter and everything else they're all the same right we're
01:40:56.140
all these people these these companies are all being run by socialists or by people who lean very
01:41:01.880
heavily in that direction at least progressives and they want to silence us they they absolutely do
01:41:08.260
and so how do you reach that audience how do conservatives reach that audience it is extremely
01:41:13.760
difficult to do to reach regular people um i think we're at a point now where this this needs to become
01:41:20.640
a grassroots movement to try to push the so to push social media companies to uh to actually allow
01:41:28.700
free political speech um don't think they're gonna do it i i to be honest with you i don't think they
01:41:34.100
are either i think i think it is the most significant threat that we're facing right now
01:41:38.340
because i think we i think we are so close i mean the one thing that they have to do a socialist country
01:41:44.620
must silence dissent yes uh and they're they're so close to it now i mean you know they can silence
01:41:51.300
pretty much anybody and everybody yawns that's right uh and it is as i sat there and i said no we are not
01:41:58.520
cutting those pieces i don't care what youtube says we cannot cut those how can you make the point
01:42:06.040
if you can't show the film of those people saying and doing those things and it is it's maddening

01:45:06.000
his video going to campus and what were you talking to people on your video uh we actually went to
01:45:11.780
students for liberty's annual conference me and donny kendall who who does these presentations with
01:45:16.460
me it was a presentation called socialism is evil and we gave this presentation at this liberty con in
01:45:21.640
washington dc and it was um it was just a we took a video clip of the last three minutes of it of me
01:45:28.040
giving a speech saying hey socialism is evil don't go this way this is going to be a disaster
01:45:32.720
and we put it on facebook and a lot like what i saw you do in washington very similar yeah very funny
01:45:39.240
very and yeah fact driven right uh it was and people loved it it was it was great we got a great
01:45:45.180
reaction for it put it on facebook put it on all sorts of social media tried to advertise it on facebook
01:45:49.760
and when i did that uh i suddenly without any warning got banned from facebook uh not my account
01:45:56.540
but the advertising account totally and completely banned you cannot you cannot advertise at all on
01:46:01.960
anything in facebook for two months after i appealed it seven times couldn't get anything uh reversed
01:46:09.080
that couldn't get an explanation for what it was until the very end they told me hey uh your ad was
01:46:14.820
misleading you know it was basically in the same category as diet pills and things like that what
01:46:19.700
was your ad saying uh the the ad was literally just a three minute clip of the of the end of the
01:46:24.900
speech that's all it was just saying that socialism is evil don't go that direction support individual
01:46:29.540
liberty there was nothing in it that was even remotely offensive or anything like that um they didn't like
01:46:34.920
that so they shut my account down i wrote an article about it it was published and um a couple media
01:46:40.480
outlets picked it up and then the next day after two months and seven or eight appeals facebook said oh it's
01:46:47.520
just a mistake we'll we'll fix it don't worry and so they placate they placate they only they only pay
01:46:54.700
attention when it catches enough attention right that they will they're eating all at the edges right now
01:47:03.060
but soon as they can eat all of those edges and they're gone they'll start going after the big guys
01:47:08.440
and i i'm seeing this stephen crowder i mean we are now number two behind fox our our the blaze.com
01:47:16.900
is now number two behind fox in all conservative media that's astounding now the the gap between us is
01:47:25.440
huge but still we're right we're the next in line they are now going after stephen crowder they're going
01:47:33.880
after i think i've been flagged i think 50 times in the last week um stephen crowder has he's on his
01:47:41.800
third strike now uh and i'm not sure he's going to keep his youtube platform that is gigantic for
01:47:51.000
stephen crowder because that's where young people get their entertainment they're not watching news
01:47:57.480
they're not watching fox they're not watching cable they're not watching television right they're
01:48:02.100
watching youtube and i i honestly because we had the attorneys yesterday going over you know the
01:48:10.000
show as we were in rehearsal yesterday and they were saying we've got to cut this got to cut this
01:48:14.380
got to cut this and i'm like no we're not gonna it's fair use and they said you could be flagged we
01:48:19.940
could be taken off in the middle stephen crowder was taken off in the middle of the broadcast yeah
01:48:26.020
no it's it's terrifying and they're terrified of stephen crowder frankly yes and they're terrified of
01:48:31.060
people like stephen crowder because they know the only way we turn the ship around is to reach young
01:48:36.260
people yes and they don't want us reaching young people correct and so that's our only hope i mean
01:48:41.220
we're on the edge of the cliff and the only chance of surviving the literally the only chance is to go
01:48:47.620
and talk to young people and to explain to them why this has never worked why 167 million people over
01:48:53.540
the last 100 years have been imprisoned or exiled or murdered by socialist and communist parties
01:48:59.100
they don't want that message getting out and so they will do anything to stop us from reaching
01:49:04.180
younger people and that's exactly why they're they're going after people like stephen crowder and
01:49:08.760
other young people like that because they don't want that message getting out to them and they know
01:49:13.980
that people like stephen crowder can sit down in a room with these people and have a conversation with
01:49:18.440
them in a way that uh someone who's 50 or 60 years old can't do it's it's just not the same younger
01:49:24.320
people relate to younger people and they know that so they're terrified and they're trying to silence
01:49:28.300
people like that tonight's message i'm i'm painting a very accurate picture i believe
01:49:36.980
but we're using a document that we found that was written around 1950
01:49:41.780
and it was written by a communist historian in czechoslovakia of basically how we did it
01:49:47.960
and it was smuggled into the united states from behind the iron curtain and then lost
01:49:53.200
for years and nobody paid attention to it and you look at it is five steps to it i mean it's very
01:49:59.040
detailed in those five steps but the five broad steps they flipped czechoslovakia which was a very
01:50:06.040
successful thriving thriving successful economy free market freedom of you know uh conscience and and and
01:50:17.260
freedom of speech all of those things it survived nazism it comes back it starts thriving and they
01:50:24.300
do this in three years they flip it authoritarian socialist and this is the how they did it and
01:50:32.220
we're looking at it all five steps are being done we're we're there where i i last night after rehearsal
01:50:39.380
because we've been in this for so long and last night i finally got all of it together and started
01:50:46.880
rehearsing all of it together and i got to the end of it and i was overwhelmed with
01:50:53.680
we're there it's it's no longer time for people to go well i'm not sure where i said no no this is it
01:51:03.380
yeah this thing could flip overnight absolutely we were talking during the break about how
01:51:09.200
polling shows among younger people um support for capitalism in 2010 was 68 percent said that people
01:51:18.140
younger people 18 to 29 said they have a favorable view of capitalism in 2016 that had dropped all the
01:51:24.540
way down to something like 57 percent so it would dive by like 11 points and now in 2018 when they did
01:51:32.640
the same poll same exact survey same exact pollster everything it's now down to 45 percent this is a
01:51:38.940
death spiral people are younger people have completely abandoned capitalism because they don't really
01:51:44.720
understand what it is yeah and because at the same time the same people who say therefore socialism
01:51:50.340
when you talk to them about the free market or entrepreneurs what are the numbers yeah they're much
01:51:56.420
higher they're almost 90 90 right capitalism is 48 percent 90 percent for the free market well
01:52:05.980
what the hell is the difference that shows nobody knows what they're talking about yeah nobody knows
01:52:10.500
what they're talking about and it's because uh socialists and left-leaning people progressives
01:52:14.980
have been running the education system in the country since really the 1960s beginning in the 1960s going
01:52:19.880
forward and um people are completely ignorant about the history of socialism in my generation
01:52:25.840
you know i don't remember the fall of the berlin wall i don't remember that you don't know of course
01:52:30.760
not i was born in 1987 i don't remember that and so my generation doesn't remember mal it doesn't
01:52:36.520
remember uh ukraine doesn't remember the iron curtain doesn't remember any of that we weren't around
01:52:41.400
for it maybe i recommend one of the best ways to catch up on the history of the fall of the berlin
01:52:45.440
wall is the movie atomic blonde uh starring it's a documentary right it's an incredibly important
01:52:51.280
documentary and i actually if you watch it and you're my age oh it's so good it is so good because
01:52:56.300
it's like a time machine it just captures that time period so well and you're like oh my god i
01:53:03.900
forgot all about that i forgot what that was like i showed up for charlie's theron but uh really wound
01:53:10.140
up really enjoying the movie yeah yeah i did too i i showed up for the you know the you know you
01:53:14.420
put her in a bathtub and right and even ice and all bruised i'm still like okay all right
01:53:19.760
but that was that was actually really really solid and i think there is that that gap of people just
01:53:24.880
don't even remember it i mean we were talking about this people who were born for this last
01:53:28.980
election uh you know have no memory of not only the soviet union which is now an old observation but
01:53:35.540
9-11 they have no memory of 9-11 they don't know what we were 2020 18 year olds will not be alive i
01:53:44.140
know i'm doing a lot of math here for you will not have been alive when 9-11 occurred when when
01:53:48.000
when somebody says make america great again they can't relate to that because america has always
01:53:54.540
been post 9-11 that think of that that's not america we put the patriot act in right that's not
01:54:01.940
america it's not what i'm fighting for yeah i don't want a world where we have secret courts and
01:54:08.020
all of that stuff that's not who we are yeah that's all i remember that's literally that's been
01:54:13.360
my whole life i mean the first president i remember is bill clinton and after that it's
01:54:18.760
just it's george bush it's barack obama it's big government all the way down it's spying on your
01:54:23.800
neighbors it's all kinds of things that it's it's the republicans fighting with the democrats to try
01:54:29.960
to be a little less progressive i mean that's that's where we're at i mean can we rein in the
01:54:35.060
progressiveness a little bit i mean that's it that's that's i mean there's no one there's very few
01:54:40.460
not no one but there's very few people in washington championing freedom on any in
01:54:50.780
you're looking at the situation and i think one of the last signs is and this is something i talked
01:55:00.600
about when i was at fox when you were i don't know four and i said uh they want to tell you
01:55:08.560
they're socialists they're proud of it yeah they want to tell you about marx they believe it and one
01:55:15.640
of these days they're going to take their masks off because it's going to be okay and they want to tell
01:55:21.960
you we're there but that's the place i described as end game when they take the mask off they believe
01:55:32.240
they the only their arrogance could collapse them they may have misjudged how many people are behind
01:55:40.320
them how many people do you ever hear from democrats that are or or young voters who usually would vote
01:55:49.320
for democrats that are saying whoa these guys are scary they're a little too far yeah no i don't but
01:55:55.240
the reason why i think is partly because they don't really believe it when we tell them here's what they
01:56:01.000
support look look at this bill look at this provision what do you think this means and they'll
01:56:05.620
say oh no no that's not what they mean what they really mean i know that's what they're saying but
01:56:10.980
that's not what they mean what they really mean is they want us to be like scandinavia that's what
01:56:16.080
they want they want us to be like norway and and those kinds of what they're proposing is not
01:56:21.000
like norway that's right but if you listen to bernie sanders you're gonna have a totally different
01:56:26.600
perspective the guy well you can't relate i was gonna say the guy took his honeymoon in the soviet
01:56:31.880
