The Great America Show - BE A CRIME FIGHTER. SUPPORT THE AMERICAN FAMILY

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America Podcast with Lou Dobbs,

00:00:04.200 always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.

00:00:09.220 And now, here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.

00:00:14.220 Hi, everybody, and glad you're with us for another edition of the Great America Show.

00:00:18.940 How goes the country? Well, not so well. More than 70% now say the country's going in the wrong

00:00:25.220 direction. Based on his approval ratings, a large majority of Americans believe the wrong person

00:00:30.700 is in the White House, taking us in the wrong direction. And inflation running at 6% is starting

00:00:37.560 to become a personal issue for many Americans. 77%, almost four in five Americans, say inflation is

00:00:47.780 now affecting them directly, personally. And in San Francisco, where else? Many residents of the

00:00:55.520 city by the bay are more worried about the language being used by journalists, reporters, anchors on

00:01:03.040 television who are describing the grab-and-smash robberies of luxury stores in San Francisco as

00:01:10.400 looting. A highly organized looting included physical assault, destruction of property,

00:01:17.700 as well as theft of luxury high-end items, including jewelry and Louis Vuitton accessories.

00:01:24.000 Between you and me, I often think accessory isn't quite right. It doesn't really capture that high

00:01:29.180 price tag of those items. But anyway, the little buttercups in San Francisco are worried about the

00:01:35.140 emotional state of looters who were in the process of looting when they punched and

00:01:40.200 battered clerks and stole those items from the stores. So I've got a number of new words because

00:01:47.180 I feel I should be politically sensitive to these snowflakes. I've come up with a list of synonyms,

00:01:53.700 sensitive synonyms, I call them, for looters and looting. And I think the looters and the thugs will

00:02:00.880 be more comfortable with these terms to describe the vicious, violent theft. So how about this?

00:02:07.400 Instead of looters, why don't we call them plunderers? They plunder to take by force. So these thieves are

00:02:14.180 plundering in San Francisco, not just looting. Or how about sacking, as in the sacking of Rome?

00:02:21.100 A little archaic, but it's kind of fancy, don't you think? And perhaps better suited to the sophisticated

00:02:26.780 tastes and emotions of San Franciscans. And how about good old pillaging? Now there's a great word.

00:02:34.400 Pillage is defined as plundering ruthlessly. It is insufficient to plunder. You have to plunder

00:02:41.960 ruthlessly to rise to the level of pillaging. And note that loot, the word we're trying to replace,

00:02:49.420 is the preferred synonym for pillaging. What will not work as a synonym for looting is the word pilfer.

00:02:57.180 To pilfer is to take something or steal something, but do it quietly, stealthily. Sneak something. And

00:03:03.960 that requires a sneak thief in order to pilfer. Just trying to help out the folks in San Francisco who

00:03:09.920 were so insulted about loot and looters looting when some of their fellow citizens decided to pillage

00:03:17.880 plunder. Just like others in Southern California who decided to take booty, treasure, and pillage

00:03:25.080 as they plundered shops on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. So that's the left for you. They're so worried

00:03:33.300 about the emotional state of the thugs stealing and rampaging, and yes, looting, rather than the

00:03:38.720 emotional state of those they beat and batter and from whom they steal. The left is a perverse bunch.

00:03:46.080 Now that can't be helped, but we don't have to give in to them. And I assure you on the Great

00:03:51.700 America Show, we will not. To take all of this up and more today, we're joined by a great American

00:03:57.960 superb radio talk show host and man of many talents, former gubernatorial candidate for the Republican

00:04:05.600 Party, none other than Larry Elder. He's a great Salem radio talent, a man with great political and

00:04:13.980 social insight. My friend now, Larry Elder. Larry, welcome to the Great America Show.

00:04:19.720 Let me start with, should I feel guilty in calling these thieves and thugs? Because actually, I feel

00:04:27.000 no remorse. I confess to you, I feel no remorse at all. What do you think, Larry?

00:04:32.580 Well, Lou, it could have been worse. You could have called them undocumented shoppers.

00:04:36.540 No, you shouldn't. You shouldn't feel guilty about all of this. That's one of the reasons,

00:04:40.220 by the way, I ran for governor. I ran about the rise in crime. And there's a number of reasons for

00:04:45.000 it. We have a soft on crime governor who, under his supervision, 18,000 convicted felons, many of

00:04:50.520 them violent, have been released early. Based upon historical data, over half of them are likely to

00:04:56.500 reoffend within the next year or two. He has his fingerprints, as does George Soros, on a bunch of

00:05:03.720 soft on crime DAs, one in LA, one in San Francisco, and one in Costa Mesa, Contra Costa County, rather,

00:05:12.180 where Walnut Creek is, where they did that massive shoplifting spree just the other day.

00:05:17.020 All these are supported by George Soros. They believe in cashless bail. They believe in

00:05:21.420 decriminalization. They think it's a badge of honor that there are fewer criminals behind bars than there

00:05:27.160 were when they took office. And they believe that criminals are victims of society, as opposed to

00:05:33.300 people that plunder and terrorize innocent people. So you have that. You have a couple of propositions

00:05:39.460 that were passed, including one called 47 and one called 57, both of which have basically

00:05:44.380 decriminalized a lot of stuff. Some of the things that are no longer considered to be

00:05:49.220 violent crimes. Under proposition 57, Lou, include human trafficking of a child, rape of an unconscious

00:05:57.360 person by intoxication, drive-by shooting at an inhabited dwelling, assault with a firearm or deadly

00:06:03.780 weapon, assault on a police officer. These are now non-violent crimes under prop 57. Serial arson,

00:06:10.340 exploding a bomb to injure people, solicitation to commit murder, assault from a caregiver to a child

00:06:15.900 under eight years old that could result in coma or death, and felony domestic violence. All of these

00:06:20.700 are now deemed to be non-violent offenses under proposition 57. And under proposition 47, you can

00:06:27.260 steal up to 950 bucks, not just a day, but per store all day long. And if you get caught, they'll write

00:06:34.520 you a ticket and you've committed a misdemeanor. You no longer fear going to jail. And even if you're

00:06:39.640 arrested and threatened with jail, of course, we have these DAs that believe in cashless bail. So a whole

00:06:45.080 bunch of people are on the streets who otherwise would not be on the streets, but for a soft on crime

00:06:49.800 governor, soft on crime DAs, and ridiculous measures that the voters passed thinking that they were going

00:06:56.180 to be reforming our allegedly racist criminal justice system. Finally, one more thing. The governor of

00:07:01.860 California, after he survived the recall election, Lou, a lot of us felt that he would be unleashed and would

00:07:06.980 sign a bunch of stupid measures. One of them is to reduce what are called criminal enhancements so that DAs can no

00:07:13.720 longer charge violent offenders to the fullest extent of the law. So you kill somebody, you're

00:07:18.840 probably going to do about half what you would have done, but for the bill that Gavin Newsom just

00:07:23.500 now signed. So for all these reasons, crime is going up. And then you have, of course, the police

00:07:28.300 are demoralized because they're accused of engaging in systemic racism. As a result, they're less

00:07:33.700 aggressive, fewer traffic stops, fewer arrests, voila, crime goes up. And by the way, the people that are

00:07:39.340 disproportionately hurt, of course, are black and brown people. I only mentioned their race, Lou,

00:07:43.300 because people like Gavin Newsom pride themselves on caring about black and brown people. So there

00:07:47.580 you have it. Yeah, that's some way to express your care and concern about anyone. And that is to reduce

00:07:54.440 the state of California to a state of chaos and criminality at large in every quarter, it seems,

00:08:03.980 of society in the golden state. It's stunning to hear that list and to think what is being done to

00:08:13.360 that great state. It's just, it is. It's awful. It's incomprehensible. And I don't understand,

00:08:21.520 Larry, and I mean this sincerely, I don't understand why the hell anybody would live there.

00:08:26.020 I don't understand why a business would put up with this. Looting, pillaging, plundering,

00:08:31.980 my gosh. And Lou, they're not. More businesses have left in 2021 than have left all of last year.

00:08:40.340 And the rate at which they're leaving is twice the rate at which they've left the last couple of

00:08:43.820 years. And they're taking their businesses with them. They're taking their tax base with them.

00:08:48.080 You know, this is a state that's got 40 million people. One percent, almost one half of one percent

00:08:54.520 will pay almost 50 percent of all the state income taxes. And that's the primary source of revenue

00:08:58.980 for California. So when an Elon Musk gets fed up and says he's leaving California, and he is,

00:09:04.800 he's taking a sufficiently large tax base with him. And the number one reason, though, people

00:09:09.440 who are middle class and working class cite when they leave California is they cannot afford the

00:09:14.360 price of a home. The average price of a home in California has just hit $800,000. That is 175 percent

00:09:21.440 above the national average. And the primary reason for that is because of the environmental rules and

00:09:25.500 regulations that have thwarted development to the point now we have one million fewer houses

00:09:30.820 on the market than we would had it not been for the environmental extremists that believe when you

00:09:34.820 stick a spoon in the dirt, you've had a negative environmental impact.

00:09:39.460 It's stunning. And as we're talking about the plunder and the pillaging in California,

00:09:46.160 there's a pretty good amount of that going on in Washington, D.C. on Capitol Hill and

00:09:51.860 over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. They are talking confiscatory taxation. They are talking about

00:10:00.000 taking wealth, not income, taxing wealth and income exorbitantly. And we're starting to see some

00:10:10.500 significant impact just in the anticipation of such a tax system, such a draconian

00:10:19.260 altering of the tax system and the raising of taxes. We're looking at, I think, a pivotal moment

00:10:29.640 in our history. This is an inflection point that could have disastrous results in our markets and

00:10:37.220 our economy. Your thoughts? I think you're right. You know, they hated Donald Trump so much that

00:10:42.720 anything he did, they wanted to undo it without thinking through whether or not what Donald Trump

00:10:47.860 has done was successful, was advancing the interests of the American people. They're jacking up taxes,

00:10:53.700 jacking up regulations, passing so-called infrastructure bills to the point where

00:10:58.240 our taxation is about ready to be the highest of any industrialized nation in the world. They also

00:11:04.080 want to increase the corporate tax as well. You know, the whole idea, by the way, Lou, about this

00:11:10.900 infrastructure stuff, I even said this during the Trump administration. Why is it my job to fix a

00:11:15.920 crumbling bridge in Minnesota? Why is it the job of people in Massachusetts to build a road for people

00:11:21.220 in Illinois? All you're doing is encouraging states to be inefficient with their own money,

00:11:25.480 knowing full well that the federal government is going to come along and bail them out.

00:11:29.260 Exactly.

00:11:29.840 Our fifth president was James Monroe. He only cast one veto in his presidency, Lou,

00:11:35.580 and it was against the expansion of the Cumberland Road that the Congress had appropriated funds for,

00:11:42.640 even though the road would go through Virginia, which is his own state, because he felt that the

00:11:46.400 Constitution under Article I, Section 8 did not give the Congress the power to do that. And that's

00:11:50.960 why he cast his only veto of his presidency. That train left the station. Now we're funding things

00:11:56.320 like Amtrak, funding things like bullet trains in California. It's absolutely ridiculous,

00:12:01.980 whether it's done under a Democrat president or a Republican president. It is a complete and total

00:12:07.000 assault of the whole idea of federalism, leaving everything else to the states and to the people

00:12:11.960 other than the essential small duties that the federal government is supposed to do.

00:12:16.960 And in large measure, the Republican rhinos are the ones every bit as responsible, in some ways

00:12:25.000 more responsible than the House of Representatives, when 13 Republicans, rhino turncoats, decided to

00:12:34.100 empower President Biden and give him his, what was called a $2 trillion bill. But we know that it

00:12:42.600 will be part of a spending package that is actually rising toward $5 trillion over the next decade.

00:12:50.480 This is stunning stuff. And the leadership of the Republican Party doesn't even know what

00:12:54.840 their members are doing. Kevin McCarthy is a blundering minority leader. Mitch McConnell is a

00:13:02.360 co-conspirator of the left as Senate minority leader. What, in your judgment, is the impact of

00:13:11.260 these rhinos? And can the Republican Party survive them? Well, let me give a quasi-defense on some of

00:13:18.700 these rhinos like Ted Cassidy of Louisiana and Rob Portman of Ohio, both of whom pointed out that under

00:13:24.240 Donald Trump, who proposed something like a $1.2 trillion infrastructure plan, the Republicans

00:13:28.720 were all ready to go for that. That was still a violation of federalism, in my opinion, still a

00:13:33.080 violation of the idea that I ought not be spending my money on the inefficiencies of another state. So

00:13:38.700 both parties have been doing it for decades. But you're right, these rhinos, as you pointed out,

00:13:44.600 have empowered Joe Biden. They should not have done it, but we should have been rethinking the

00:13:49.920 assault on Article I, Section 8, for decades, and we haven't been doing it.

00:13:54.120 Yeah, I would point out, Larry, that the $1.2 trillion that was under consideration in the Trump

00:14:01.040 administration, we knew what was in it. Right now, none of us know what's in that

00:14:07.080 multi-trillion dollar spending package, except a lot, a lot of so-called pork and money for the

00:14:16.020 salt states and for Democratic-run cities and states that are on the verge of fiscal collapse

00:14:22.920 in several instances. Well, that is true, Lou, but let's remember, according to Joe Biden,

00:14:28.700 this is not going to cost us anything. Have you ever heard anything so far? Even by Biden's standards,

00:14:35.320 that is one of the most preposterous statements he's made. And by the way, it's not going to cost

00:14:41.800 anything. And his economic stimulus package will not be inflationary. In fact, it is an anti-inflation

00:14:49.800 program in his confused mind. That's right. And when the CBO came out and said it was going to add

00:14:55.480 to the deficit, he still insisted it was going to decrease the deficit, having called the CBO the

00:15:00.680 gold standard. I guess it's not the gold standard anymore. Not hardly. Not hardly. Let's take up

00:15:08.540 what has been for tragedy upon tragedy in Wisconsin. Let's begin for, if we can, with a happy ending in

00:15:19.580 the midst of tragedy. And that was the unanimous act of the jury to acquit Kyle Rittenhouse of the

00:15:27.460 charges, which are charges I believe should never have been brought. And the reaction of the left,

00:15:36.260 which was to froth and yell and scream and stamp their feet and start trying to figure out how

00:15:44.000 they could punish him for being found not guilty. Your thoughts? Yeah. And of course, people like

00:15:50.900 Joy Reid and a woman named Tiffany Cross, both of them are on MSNBC. She's probably even worse than

00:15:56.840 Joy Reid, have both condemned Kyle Rittenhouse as a white supremacist. I think Tiffany Cross called him

00:16:03.580 a white little supremacist. What's interesting is the reaction on the part of the left to this

00:16:09.640 obviously warranted verdict. These are some of the same people, Lou, that are condemning us for daring

00:16:19.120 to question the results of the 2020 election. But they have no problem questioning the results of this

00:16:25.400 jury. And by the way, I understand that there was at least, quote, one person of color on the jury,

00:16:31.120 close quote. I even heard that that person was a black person. And if so, why isn't someone talking

00:16:37.260 about that this was a unanimous jury that included at least one person of color? Did the other white

00:16:42.440 people browbeat the person of color into finding him not guilty on all five counts? Another thing,

00:16:47.700 Lou, the very same day of the acquittal verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, there was a guilty verdict

00:16:54.320 handed down by a white judge in Kansas City who ruled guilty, a white detective who killed an

00:17:02.800 unarmed black man in Kansas City. An unarmed black man, ironically, who was also driving a red truck.

00:17:07.960 He was driving it after his girlfriend. By the time the man got to his house, he'd slowed down.

00:17:14.160 The police arrived and claimed that he reached for a gun. And a white detective shot and killed this man.

00:17:20.700 Turns out that there's suspicion that evidence was planted. In any case, it was a white judge,

00:17:25.720 a bench trial, not a jury trial, Lou. White judge found this white detective guilty of killing an

00:17:31.660 unarmed black man. And nobody seemed to care about this case, I guess, because it did not fit the

00:17:37.200 script. I don't know what happened. It was televised, as were the trials in the Rittenhouse trial and

00:17:43.020 the Arm and Arbery trial. Again, involve an unarmed black man. And I just can't imagine why this wasn't

00:17:49.820 a national national news. And when the trial was over, I would have thought that would have made

00:17:55.480 national news, but it made local news in Kansas City. And a few outlets published something about it,

00:17:59.920 but it didn't get any national news. And I guess it didn't fit the script. The script is that the

00:18:04.640 criminal justice system is racist. White people get off. White cops get off. This one did not.

00:18:10.260 And nobody seems to care.

00:18:13.140 Yeah, no one in the national left-wing media is defined by MSNBC, which you're watching way too

00:18:18.440 much of, my friend.

00:18:20.120 I tell my audience, I watch it so you don't have to.

00:18:24.700 And we're deeply appreciative, let me assure you.

00:18:27.460 Yeah.

00:18:28.260 It is a period in Wisconsin for the terrible, terrible tragedy in Waukesha.

00:18:40.260 It took place with a man who described himself as a terrorist, drove a red SUV into a parade

00:18:50.920 and mowed them down. He massacred them. It was a mass killing. It was, by all witness accounts,

00:19:00.680 intentional in every way.

00:19:02.280 And the man had just run over his girlfriend. He had been released from bail twice, released from

00:19:14.940 jail twice on $1,000 and $5,000 bail. Or among other things, running over his girlfriend with the

00:19:23.060 very same red SUV that he drove into those innocent people in Waukesha. This is, and the national media

00:19:36.220 doesn't seem to want to say what he is. He's a terrorist. He attacked those people. He massacred

00:19:43.720 them. We're seeing examples of the media reporting it as

00:19:47.400 it was the car drove into a parade.

00:19:51.520 Right.

00:19:52.060 As if there were no driver, for crying out loud.

00:19:55.100 You know, and...

00:19:56.380 Your reaction.

00:19:56.720 Well, can you imagine if some white driver had driven through a group of Black people during a

00:20:04.520 parade? They'd be calling it a hate crime. And by the way, you mentioned $5,000 bail. That was

00:20:09.520 reduced to $1,000. So he had two violent offenses against him, was released on $500 bail, and then

00:20:16.920 released on $1,000 bail. He never should have been on the streets in the first place. It would have

00:20:21.660 been called a hate crime if the races of the people involved had been reversed. He never should have

00:20:26.920 been out. And the DA, under whose office gave him these very soft bails, now says that the bail

00:20:32.860 amounts were inappropriately low. Well, duh. Thank you for arriving. He's one of these, again,

00:20:38.680 soft on crime DAs who's written about the criminal justice system, about how many people are behind

00:20:44.980 bars, too many people are behind bars. You know, the same kind of sociology that is behind these

00:20:50.860 soft on crime DAs out here in California. This is an absolute outrage. The number one job of

00:20:55.860 government, of course, is to protect people and property, and this is not being done.

00:21:00.080 Not being done. And the Black Lives Matter activists who said, quote,

00:21:06.500 it sounds like the revolution has started in Wisconsin. Doesn't that sound like a statement

00:21:13.520 designed to be a call to action for the revolution?

00:21:19.000 It sounds to me like insurrection. They're calling these rioters on January 6th insurrectionists,

00:21:26.080 even though not a single one of the 400 people arrested has been charged with insurrection.

00:21:30.260 But what these guys are saying, the Black Lives Matter people are saying,

00:21:33.220 sounds to me exactly like insurrection. How about that Black Lives Matter guy in New York

00:21:37.740 named Hawk Newsome, who said that if they reinstitute the gang unit, there's going to be

00:21:43.340 blood in the streets. Nobody at all called him an insurrectionist. He's not being prosecuted or

00:21:47.840 arrested for inciting violence. It's outrageous. And by the way, Lou, don't get the impression that

00:21:53.360 these Black Lives Matter speak for anybody other than themselves. According to Gallup, 81% of Black

00:21:58.180 people want the police manpower in their neighborhoods to be the same, if not increased.

00:22:02.620 So these people are speaking for a minority of people. Also, there was a New York Times reporter.

00:22:08.360 She's a former reporter. That's probably why she's talking about this. She was assigned to talk about

00:22:12.600 the riots that took place in Kenosha after the shooting of Jacob Blake. And the notion was that

00:22:18.120 these were high-end businesses that had insurance and therefore the negative impact was going to be

00:22:22.220 minor. Turned out these were low-end businesses. Many of them were owned by minorities.

00:22:25.920 She filed the report, and the New York Times did not want to publish it, did not publish it until

00:22:30.780 after the election for fear that it might hurt Joe Biden. This is the kind of crap that we're

00:22:35.360 endearing with our media, with big tech suppression. As you know, the Hunter Biden story was suppressed.

00:22:40.900 Conservative content is suppressed. My Twitter account has been bottle-capped. I ran for governor,

00:22:46.840 as you pointed out. I've never been more popular. But since my race, I've now lost thousands of

00:22:50.880 Twitter followers. I have a YouTube channel for Epoch Times that used to have about over 500,000

00:22:57.560 followers. And all of a sudden, I have the same number of followers every single day for the last

00:23:02.060 couple of years. Amazing how I'm not getting any bigger. This is what big tech is doing to a bunch

00:23:07.180 of conservative providers because they just don't want the truth to get out. This is Orwellian,

00:23:12.460 and in ways I think even George Orwell did not imagine. Yeah, I think that's right, because I

00:23:19.560 don't think George Orwell or many people at any time anticipated that there would be an alignment

00:23:27.400 of interests among the Marxist left in this country, corporate HR departments and executive

00:23:35.440 suites, and the national left-wing media working very hard to attack the fundamental values and

00:23:47.420 tenets of American life. And it's stunning to watch because we are a nation right now under assault.

00:23:58.060 The Republican Party is at the forefront, shoulder to shoulder, with a radical Democratic Party.

00:24:04.900 And the target is the American middle class, working men and women. And we're watching the result

00:24:13.920 every day. And yet, the national media wants us to think, well, you know, the good guys are the

00:24:19.920 rhino Republicans, and the bad guys are some sort of, you know, ambiguous group within the Democratic

00:24:30.440 Party, led by, of course, Joe Biden. It's nonsense. We have two political parties trying to crush

00:24:38.820 the fundamental precepts of this country. It's scary. And I also think we need to include Hollywood

00:24:45.460 and, of course, academia. Absolutely. Who would have thought that people like the squad would have

00:24:52.340 such power over the Democratic Party? Joe Biden, of course, was elected because he was a so-called

00:24:58.520 moderate. His job was to stop Donald Trump from getting elected. He, mission accomplished. And

00:25:04.300 then the assumption was he would put the party in the middle. And instead, all of the power is a

00:25:09.340 squad. And I would also add Al Sharpton. If you Google Al Sharpton and Democrat kingmaker, stand back,

00:25:15.500 your computer will explode. This man who was in the streets of Ferguson yelling, no justice, no peace,

00:25:21.100 is a Democrat kingmaker. And virtually every one of the major Democrat candidates in 2020

00:25:25.800 went to New York to kiss his ring. Rashida Tlai, one quarter of the squad, Lou, just gave an

00:25:31.080 interview to a left-wing outlet called Axios on HBO. And she supports a bill to release every single

00:25:37.980 prisoner behind federal prisons within 10 years. Every single prisoner she wants released within 10

00:25:44.420 years. Let's start with her with releasing them in her neighborhood first. This is just that somebody

00:25:50.000 could be taken seriously like that, that the squad could be taken seriously, that someone like AOC could be

00:25:55.580 taken seriously, is drop dead scary to me, Lou. And when we say taken seriously, we're talking about

00:26:04.080 the national left-wing media. But the left-wing media that is taking AOC and the Marxist left in

00:26:11.060 this country, whether it's Black Lives Matter, Antifa, the radical dims themselves, or the HR departments

00:26:19.420 of corporate America who are working to deliver critical race theory and EID, all of this, just

00:26:30.080 frankly, manufactured nonsense that is an assault on our economic and political system. You have to

00:26:38.740 understand that this is, there are no accidents here. You mentioned George Soros earlier in the

00:26:45.360 podcast. Think about the Milwaukee district attorney who, by the way, wouldn't, who wouldn't be known had

00:26:52.040 he not had quite a history. And I just want to close here with Milwaukee district attorney, John

00:26:57.980 Chuston, who said this about the driver of that SUV who was released on bail. He intentionally

00:27:08.780 lawyered that bail as part of the justice reform ideology that he conforms to. He was asked,

00:27:16.040 don't you think it's dangerous? His answer was, quote, you bet my bail reforms will kill people.

00:27:23.420 But that doesn't change the program. It is, it's stunning. We, our habit here is to

00:27:32.380 give each guest the last word. And this is your opportunity. Larry, take it away.

00:27:38.960 Well, we've been talking about how the media has been assaulting our values. I'd like to point out

00:27:45.240 when I ran for governor in California, a writer for the LA Times in a headline article about me said,

00:27:51.820 Larry Elder is the black face of white supremacy. You've been warned. New York Times had a big long

00:27:58.940 article about me, negative, about my candidacy. Never mentioned that I'm black. Never mentioned

00:28:03.880 that had I won, I would have been the first black governor of California, which is fine with me. I

00:28:09.320 think it's about time. He talked about people's qualifications or lack thereof without referring

00:28:13.200 to their race, their religion, their ethnicity. I was fine with that. But the very same day,

00:28:18.240 very same newspaper, equally long article about the first female governor of New York.

00:28:24.440 She was, she was first and it was relevant because she had a D at the end of her name.

00:28:28.940 I was first. It's not relevant because I have an R at the end of my name. Can they at least

00:28:33.260 be consistent? This cabal of media, Hollywood, academia, and big tech is destroying this country.

00:28:40.880 And I hope America wakes up in time to do something about it before we lose our republic.

00:28:47.740 Larry Elder, always in the fight and fighting for this great republic. Larry, great to have you here.

00:28:55.700 I appreciate it, my friend. And, uh, I wish a great day and see you soon.

00:29:01.860 You got it, Lou. Thank you so much for having me. I appreciate it.

00:29:04.600 Thank you. We're coming right back with more of the great America show. Stay with us.

00:29:13.300 You've heard me talk about for some time, the importance of our middle-class working men and

00:29:18.880 women in this country who are the backbone of our economy and indeed our society. I wrote a book

00:29:25.780 some 15 years ago now entitled The War on the Middle Class. In that book, I detailed the unconscionable

00:29:33.560 choices made by corporate America and politicians of both parties to ship millions of American jobs

00:29:41.160 overseas and to exploit far cheaper foreign labor to produce the same goods working Americans had

00:29:48.500 manufactured for years. The book was also a warning to all who would listen that we no longer have a

00:29:56.180 society and an economy in which the interests of hardworking Americans and small business owners is aligned

00:30:03.820 with big business and U S multinational corporations. And here we are now facing the consequences of not

00:30:11.840 only outsourcing all those great American jobs to cheap foreign labor markets, but also corporate

00:30:18.660 America's choices over all those years to invest hundreds of billions of dollars in factories and plants

00:30:26.120 overseas rather than here at home. The globalist elites and business and government refuse to acknowledge

00:30:34.620 how many millions of jobs we lost in the course of the past two decades, how many hundreds of billions

00:30:41.900 of dollars in wages went overseas rather than into the bank accounts and pockets of American working

00:30:48.500 families. And there's a reason that we do not have solid, reliable numbers on the number of

00:30:56.120 those jobs shipped overseas. The U S government in particular, the commerce and treasury departments

00:31:04.120 refused declined to count the number of jobs lost to count the number of American workers who jobs went to

00:31:12.300 China, to Asia, to Mexico, to Romania, to wherever the business could save money by hiring cheap workers in

00:31:21.460 foreign countries. Our government didn't want to report those numbers for obvious reasons. The elites had a

00:31:28.420 plan and they wanted no interference from the people, from the citizens of this great country, as they

00:31:35.180 hollowed out the American economy, took those millions of jobs and ship them overseas, put together plants

00:31:43.460 and factories on foreign shores. And of course, business organizations like the chamber of commerce and the

00:31:49.900 business round table, big corporations, and of course banks and wall street could have provided that

00:31:56.460 information, but they too had a strong fundamental financial and, and political interest in keeping the

00:32:05.500 American people in the dark. All these years later, we have what the leftist own corporate media call a

00:32:13.300 supply chain. The elites blame the China virus pandemic for that disruption. They blame labor unions working in

00:32:21.640 us ports. They blame antiquated technology and too little investment, whether in Southeast Asia, the United States

00:32:29.600 or central and South America, they blame just about everyone, but the elites and business in

00:32:37.300 education, the elites in politics for those decisions so many years ago to outsource our jobs and our factories to

00:32:49.820 overseas cheap labor economies. The truth is we're watching that 20 year old global elitist model of

00:32:58.580 transference of good paying American jobs to cheap foreign labor markets as if it made any sense ever that we would

00:33:07.060 make this nation dependent on Southeast Asian nations and a communist nation like China for crying out loud.

00:33:15.400 And it will take years if we are ever to write the wrongs of those elites decisions and focus instead on the

00:33:22.420 interests of America, American workers, rather than squandering trillions of dollars that made American big

00:33:29.960 business hugely profitable and kept American workers wages stagnant, stagnant for 20 years.

00:33:37.620 Meanwhile, there are political forces within our body politic working to further divide this divided nation,

00:33:44.820 attacking American values, our heritage and our way of life, whether Black Lives Matter, Antifa or the

00:33:51.520 Marxist left and the Democratic Party who use race, a culture of victimhood, group and identity politics and focus on

00:34:00.200 economic inequality to attack our capitalist economic system and the very foundation of our constitutional

00:34:07.240 republic. That is law and order. Let's begin with a tragedy that's befallen the state of Wisconsin,

00:34:16.160 whether as a result of the riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin, that led to so much violence, including an incident with a 17 year old who defended himself against four of those rioters, killing two of them.

00:34:30.200 Acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse is still a victim, a target of the Marxist left and Black Lives Matter.

00:34:37.400 In Waukesha, Wisconsin, five people are dead, 40 injured. As many as 10 children are in ICU still.

00:34:46.520 That after a man drove his SUV into a Christmas parade.

00:34:50.280 Joining us today is former NFL player, Jack Brewer, named to the Bipartisan Commission on the Status of Black Men and Boys,

00:34:59.960 entrepreneur, supporter of first Barack Obama, and then Donald Trump.

00:35:05.900 Jack Brewer, it's great to have you with us.

00:35:08.780 Great to be with you, Lou. I really appreciate coming on the show.

00:35:11.960 Well, we're delighted to have you. And I want to turn to some of these difficult issues that we're taking up today.

00:35:19.720 And one of them, of course, is the violence that we have seen over the course of the past couple of years.

00:35:27.200 2020, an extraordinary period of time.

00:35:31.860 2021, less violent, but still the same forces at work.

00:35:37.120 Why is it that, in your judgment, so many people on the left, and I assume many on the right,

00:35:47.700 are making so much of race as a focal point of their political rhetoric and their political debate?

00:36:00.600 You know, Lou, truth is something that a lot of people can't handle.

00:36:04.640 And, you know, truth at some point in time is going to always cause a little bit of conflict.

00:36:10.720 You know, it's going to cause a debate.

00:36:13.360 And right now, so many leaders on the left don't want to have that debate.

00:36:20.040 And so it's easier for them just to change what truth is and the reality of things.

00:36:26.280 And so that's what you're seeing taking place.

00:36:28.260 And that's the reason why when it comes to the issues of race, even liberals who don't agree

00:36:34.900 with this Marxist movement, with this Antichrist movement, with, you know, the left's just infatuation

00:36:42.700 with dividing people in skin color, they don't want to have that conversation because they're

00:36:47.800 not willing to debate with those who are on their side and they want to maintain in power.

00:36:53.080 So it's easy for the president of the United States to completely dismiss our laws, completely

00:36:59.540 dismiss the Second Amendment and to actually side on the side of rapists and people who are terrorizing

00:37:07.400 our streets. He's OK with doing that because then he won't have to have the tough racial

00:37:13.480 conversation that he would otherwise have to have with his staff and his team and so many

00:37:18.520 in the Congressional Black Caucus that support him.

00:37:21.760 And that's what's so unfortunate, Lou, it's that, you know, forget the politicians, forget

00:37:27.820 those folks in power.

00:37:29.500 This stuff is going and trickling all the way down into our inner city.

00:37:33.780 So our our kids that have no voice and to the folks that aren't even involved in politics,

00:37:40.460 don't watch CNN or Fox.

00:37:42.760 It's actually affecting the minds of our children.

00:37:45.660 And that's really the issue.

00:37:47.520 And you're seeing it across our education system.

00:37:50.160 And like you always talk about, Lou, you're seeing it across our business and business

00:37:55.400 sectors.

00:37:56.360 This new philosophy, this new indoctrination that you hear from so many people is really

00:38:03.600 the biggest threat to our nation right now, man.

00:38:06.620 It is stunning, isn't it, that we see corporate America right now aligned with much of corporate

00:38:14.720 America aligned with Marxist Black Lives Matter, with Antifa, with the radical left on Capitol

00:38:25.500 Hill.

00:38:26.100 And they're actually carrying out the mission for the Democratic Party, for the left.

00:38:32.280 They've turned their HR departments over to critical race theory, to equity, inclusion,

00:38:40.780 diversity, and whatever they want to make that mean.

00:38:45.720 But what it doesn't mean is certainly equity and equality.

00:38:49.820 It means differentiation, and it means assigning resources to make certain that one group prevails

00:38:58.640 over another, rather than retains the strongest elements of meritocracy in business, in the

00:39:08.120 corporate structure, in the workplace.

00:39:10.660 Your thoughts about CRT and this crazy alignment with establishment media and corporate HR departments?

00:39:23.660 You know, I think the issue is half of those that are supporting it don't truly understand

00:39:29.440 what it is they're supporting, or they're so emotional about it that they don't really look

00:39:34.800 deep enough to realize what it's doing to the children.

00:39:38.620 You know, I have a school, I'll give you a quick example, Lou.

00:39:41.800 I have a school here that I do, it's basically an after-school program, bringing kids in, help

00:39:47.320 them with their reading and math proficiency.

00:39:49.320 And I go there every day, and I see these kids, and most of them, you know, they're four,

00:39:53.240 five, six grades below they're reading the math levels.

00:39:56.600 And so we're trying to get them up.

00:39:58.720 And just last week, I had a young lady come in and explain to me that her teacher has told

00:40:07.160 her and indoctrinated her to think that getting a 69 is a good job and that it's okay to get,

00:40:15.460 you know, 50s and 60s on tests.

00:40:18.120 And that's CRT.

00:40:20.000 They're telling them that just because she's a little black girl, beautiful little black

00:40:24.840 girl, Lou, that it's okay to get a 60 or 50 on a test.

00:40:31.060 And that is what's happening now.

00:40:33.880 And it's being embraced because, one, these liberals in these organizations like these

00:40:39.520 major unions, like the teachers union, they have so much power.

00:40:43.100 They don't want to be held accountable for actually teaching these children.

00:40:47.460 And so it's now become partially a money grab.

00:40:51.120 But then also, they want to make sure that they keep the control within these big, you

00:40:57.780 know, organizations, these huge agencies that are spending billions of dollars.

00:41:02.660 I'm not sure if you saw, but our federal education budget has now gone up to $130 billion a year.

00:41:09.900 We have, you know, most states are spending between $15,000 and $16,000 per kid per child.

00:41:17.140 So that means you're averaging almost $20,000 per child per school year.

00:41:22.720 And we have a population swell of kids that can't read and write at their grade level.

00:41:29.000 It is embarrassing, Lou.

00:41:30.440 And that is an example of what CRT and that mentality is doing.

00:41:35.180 CRT means no accountability.

00:41:37.680 CRT means government agencies being able to make an excuse to their most underserved students

00:41:43.060 so that people don't have to be held accountable for the job they actually do, for the time

00:41:48.240 they actually spend teaching.

00:41:49.760 And they can indoctrinate these kids to believe that they're victims.

00:41:53.100 You know, America used to be the land of opportunity where we want to talk about how great we can

00:41:58.680 be and how we can dream and how we can aspire.

00:42:01.660 The CRT is ripping that apart.

00:42:04.320 It's taking that away from our future generation.

00:42:07.660 And it's scary.

00:42:08.880 And I see it every day.

00:42:10.260 And the idea that they are victims under the teachings of CRT and its structure, its philosophy

00:42:20.060 of white racism, and that there is a collective, multi-generational guilt for events that took

00:42:30.000 place hundreds of years ago in some cases.

00:42:33.460 This is a bizarre philosophy.

00:42:36.260 It's a bizarre logic.

00:42:39.000 And it's not scholarship.

00:42:41.540 It is propaganda in most respects.

00:42:45.460 It's one thing to acknowledge our history.

00:42:49.700 At the most generous interpretation, the 1619 Project is history, an important history.

00:42:59.460 But it is not, in and of itself, our history.

00:43:03.780 It is an element that others are trying to create as a definitional perspective on our history

00:43:14.460 that influences all of our history, which is utter nonsense.

00:43:19.640 It is nonsense.

00:43:23.320 It's nonsense, Lou.

00:43:24.320 And think about it like this.

00:43:25.340 Even if we want to sit and talk about slavery, let's have the slave discussion.

00:43:29.960 Right?

00:43:30.460 Let's nationwide.

00:43:31.980 Let's bring everybody in and have the slave discussion.

00:43:35.620 Are we going to just talk about the 2% of Americans that own slaves and not give any account to the 98% that didn't?

00:43:43.040 Lou, are we going to talk about slavery and only talk about those that fought for it and not talk about the millions that fought against it?

00:43:53.260 You see, the issue is not talking about the history like you said.

00:43:58.180 The history is trying to change the reality of history.

00:44:01.320 You see, the reality of American history is that the reason we overcame those issues is because we had a lot of good people of all races who were not going to put up with things that were not according to God.

00:44:14.540 This is a godly nation.

00:44:16.460 And so at its core, they're trying to rip that out.

00:44:19.560 That's what CRT is doing.

00:44:21.220 That's what Black Lives Matter movement is about.

00:44:23.660 It's about separating us from our God-given rights and for our rights to assemble ourselves and worship our almighty God.

00:44:33.240 Because if they can remove the fear of God from our kids and from our future generations, they know that their communist plans will fall in order.

00:44:42.700 That's what this is about.

00:44:44.520 And so we can't be fooled by what their goals really are here.

00:44:49.740 And in a lot of ways, they're accomplishing their goals.

00:44:53.440 And like you said, the major corporations in America, like the National Football League, where I proudly played, to start supporting anti-Christ, anti-family organizations like Black Lives Matter.

00:45:06.840 I mean, these people are not good people to come and want to separate people by the color of their skin.

00:45:12.720 I mean, you would think that the National Football League would be the ultimate voice against that, given the fact that the league is full of 70%, 80% African-American men who are wealthy men who are living the American dream.

00:45:27.340 You would think they wouldn't tolerate that, but it's not the reality.

00:45:30.480 Yeah, it's sort of stunning to think about those great athletes.

00:45:36.440 I mean, you're talking about guys who are faster, bigger, stronger than anyone on the planet.

00:45:44.040 And they're sitting there listening to this dribble as they're being condescended to by the NFL wearing something on their helmet that says, end racism.

00:45:55.200 You know, I mean, how about end cancer?

00:45:57.180 How about end conflict?

00:46:00.140 How about end Satan?

00:46:02.700 That's right.

00:46:03.340 Why don't we do all of those things?

00:46:05.680 Because if it were so simple that we could just put two words on the back of a professional football player's helmet, man, I'd be all for that.

00:46:16.880 But what it is, is it is condescension to say this is really an important statement about justice and equality in America.

00:46:27.180 This is nonsense.

00:46:27.960 This is not going to change anything, and it's not going to change anyone, and we know it.

00:46:35.660 And that's the shame of it.

00:46:37.060 Because when you talked about that beautiful young black girl who was being told that 69% is great, and that is, she should be proud of that because of critical race theory, because that is the way they're being taught.

00:46:55.000 You know, that's what's called, in my day, I'm a product of the 60s.

00:46:59.440 That was the tyranny of low expectations.

00:47:03.580 Yes.

00:47:03.780 Who the hell is Black Lives Matter, critical race theory, or any of the people who have conspired to make that part of the curricula in public schools?

00:47:16.060 Which are, by the way, the greatest institution, in my judgment, of equality, creating true, true opportunity for all of us.

00:47:27.960 And to cheapen that experience and diminish it for that young girl and for every one of us is horrific.

00:47:35.560 And their parents should be standing up in that school board, yes, I understand, would be running the risk of being called a domestic terrorist.

00:47:43.840 But tell that school board, if any one of your teachers ever tells my kid that 69% is good enough, you know, we've got to have a discussion in a big way.

00:47:55.760 Because that means the teachers and the Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, the two biggest teachers unions, and the left in this country, have seized control of our public schools from parents and from the community.

00:48:11.060 And that cannot be tolerated.

00:48:13.860 It can't.

00:48:15.140 It can't.

00:48:15.800 And, Lou, I was just appointed as a commissioner on the Commission for the Social Status of Black Men and Boys.

00:48:21.880 And it's a, you know, it's a nonpartisan commission, but it's majority Congressional Black Caucus.

00:48:27.520 And I'm one of the few conservatives, along with Larry Elder, who are really deeply trying to address these issues affecting Black men.

00:48:36.260 And that was the first thing that I said.

00:48:37.860 I told everyone, let's put our politics aside.

00:48:41.740 I don't care what population you go to around the world.

00:48:46.460 You have to address your most underserved.

00:48:49.500 You got to address the poorest of the poor.

00:48:51.060 You got to address the ones that have the most conflict.

00:48:53.460 And right now in America, we all know that that's Black men.

00:48:56.580 In particular, they make up about six.

00:48:58.660 We make up about 6% of the population.

00:49:01.660 But yet we're incarcerated more.

00:49:04.140 Our educational levels are the lowest.

00:49:06.560 Our health care levels are the lowest.

00:49:08.480 There's so many disparities that we have.

00:49:10.680 And so to get to the root cause of those disparities, we have to have truth, right?

00:49:15.860 We can't have this propaganda machine around us.

00:49:18.260 We can't have the Democratic Party and Congress of the Black Caucus representing our interests while they want to make us continue to be victims when we're not victims.

00:49:28.120 And so, in my opinion, and if you look at the facts and the data, you will see that the majority of African-American young boys are born in a fatherless home.

00:49:38.900 The vast majority, over 70%, fatherless home.

00:49:42.460 So, from an economic perspective, you are automatically going to be in the lowest demographic if you don't have a family around you, family structure.

00:49:52.960 You mentioned the parents going up to the school boards.

00:49:55.920 The reason why a lot of Black families can't go to the school boards is because they got a single mom working and she can't take off work long enough to even pay attention to the homework or go and be a part of the school.

00:50:07.120 Absolutely. Because there's no dad. And then we have a criminal justice system that we spend nine billion dollars a year on our federal criminal justice system.

00:50:15.540 Less than two percent of that money actually goes to programs.

00:50:18.200 So, you're locking these, all these guys up and you're giving these big unions and all these groups all the money instead of actually putting it into educating these guys, reforming them, getting them mental health, help, actually when they get it.

00:50:33.520 So, when they get out, they can go back to their homes and actually be fathers instead of ending right back up in jail.

00:50:39.640 And then you look at our education system, as we talked about, 71 percent of dropouts in America are fatherless, Lou.

00:50:47.680 Seventy one percent. I mean, think about that number.

00:50:52.260 So, you have right now in America over 2.5 million dropouts of high school every year.

00:50:57.940 We're putting 2.5 million kids on our streets with no high school diploma.

00:51:02.980 It's embarrassing. And so, you know how to get to the root cause, and that's to go back into these policies, these old liberal democratic policies from the Civil Rights Act that started incentivizing all these welfare programs that you're giving to mothers.

00:51:20.320 Let's incentivize the family. Let's tell these single mothers, you get married, you bring a man in the home, we'll let you keep your welfare for a year or two until you get on your feet.

00:51:31.260 Let's incentivize the family structure in America instead of incentivizing fatherless homes, because that's what we've been doing.

00:51:38.280 And so, I'm just working. I'm working really hard with a few different groups.

00:51:42.340 I'm working with the America First Policy Institute, talking to the Heritage Foundations and others to put together real policy to address this crisis, because it's not an issue.

00:51:53.540 It's a crisis. And if we don't fix it, if we don't fix the bottom portion of our country, we will all decline.

00:52:02.000 And so, I'm really passionate about helping with this fatherless crisis, man.

00:52:06.840 And, you know, folks with voices like you, Lou, good conservative, strong voices, I encourage you all to continue to talk about this issue in America,

00:52:15.600 because this is really the root cause of so many things that happen in our country.

00:52:21.660 You know, you are right. It is a crisis. But it's also been a crisis for 50 years.

00:52:28.160 Yeah. We have spent I don't know how many trillions of dollars we've had program after program after program.

00:52:37.480 And I and I, by the way, worked in a couple of those programs as a young man.

00:52:43.320 We have seen that we don't hear a classification of underprivileged.

00:52:49.520 We don't hear the expression disadvantaged.

00:52:51.940 But the truth is, these young men and women, and I'm talking about boys and girls really now who are in our schools,

00:53:00.560 who are being treated like this by their teachers, who are being told all of this nonsense.

00:53:06.020 There's nothing aspirational in it. There is nothing that is helpful in it.

00:53:10.620 There's not a single word of it that helps in terms of opening a young mind to the possibilities of what education brings.

00:53:19.460 Because those teachers, frankly, can't teach a subject.

00:53:24.900 There are only 10 percent of teachers in our public schools right now.

00:53:28.140 And I think this number may be a little high.

00:53:30.360 Ten percent of teachers have a degree in the subjects they teach.

00:53:37.160 That is stunning.

00:53:39.480 And we have these television programs called awards programs for the teacher of the year.

00:53:47.120 Now, they may be some terrific teachers, but you and I both know the best teachers are using themselves up to help those kids, to teach them, to inspire them.

00:54:00.600 And it is hard, hard work.

00:54:03.600 And there's no overtime pay.

00:54:05.840 There's no special bonus for young minds that are suddenly bright and filled with possibility because of a teacher.

00:54:17.640 But each one of us, and I think I'm going to just say this, and I can't wait to hear your answer.

00:54:23.880 But I can look back, and I can see half a dozen teachers in my life who made all the difference in the world.

00:54:30.280 How about you?

00:54:30.960 No doubt.

00:54:32.860 I mean, I think back on those teachers where, you know, a lot of them were hard on me.

00:54:38.460 But at the time, I didn't understand why.

00:54:41.480 But now I know that they saw potential in me.

00:54:45.320 You know, my teachers, my coaches, you know, and folks that, you know, even whether it was algebra or, you know, I, English, I struggled with English early on just because, you know, I grew up in a house where my dad, you know, had trouble reading.

00:55:00.500 And he couldn't, he couldn't really read until he got older.

00:55:03.800 And, you know, I didn't have a lot of education in my family.

00:55:07.020 And so my grammar and the things that I was around, it was not proper.

00:55:13.740 And so I was around that type of speaking.

00:55:16.900 And so to go to class and have someone actually push you and encourage you to speak properly, I didn't know it then.

00:55:24.420 But now it was like, man, that made me into the man that I am.

00:55:27.740 I mean, whether I'm going on national TV or I'm speaking in front of groups of people, all of this is a result of this great nation.

00:55:34.120 All of this is a result of teachers who actually cared and held me accountable and used truth to educate me versus this indoctrination.

00:55:43.520 And so it's sad to think that that doesn't exist for everyone.

00:55:48.760 And it really does. And that that's what this nation is all about, you know, and so that's what we're fighting for.

00:55:55.480 You know, that's just not a Republican, Democrat, conservative, liberal.

00:55:58.560 What it is, is fighting for the opportunity of this nation that so many have died for.

00:56:04.180 And really, I think the reason why you saw what happened in Virginia and the reason why you've seen such an outpour against the CRT in the in our public school system being indoctrinated is because people understand now that the generation today is not getting the same opportunities that we had.

00:56:23.860 And that is a sad thing.

00:56:25.720 Yeah, it really is.

00:56:27.740 Uh, and when we look at what's happened in Wisconsin, uh, here's a young man, uh, frightened for his life, his wellbeing with video evidence of people pointing guns at him, hitting him with a skateboard and so forth.

00:56:44.120 And yet the left want to exploit that as a political opportunity.

00:56:48.240 They're attacking the actions of a 17 year old boy.

00:56:52.100 Uh, when, what are you going to do?

00:56:54.800 Believe your lying eyes.

00:56:56.020 We have video of this video that the prosecution tried to keep away from the jury.

00:57:02.180 It was a unanimous decision.

00:57:04.700 This young man had every right to defend himself.

00:57:08.080 And what has to frighten the left is that people understand that central message.

00:57:14.740 You have a right to self-defense.

00:57:16.900 You have a responsibility in point of fact of self-defense and, and Jack, I'll tell you, I think that, uh, the story of Kyle Rittenhouse is this.

00:57:27.020 He did what you would hope that every citizen in that community would have the strength and the courage to do is to stand up for their community, to stand there and say, you're not going to burn down this, uh, this person's, uh, you know, house or business.

00:57:43.980 Uh, we know that a New York times reporter actually had her story about all of the minority businesses that were destroyed, uh, in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

00:57:53.920 And they held it until after the election, how cheap and awful can one newspaper be to the New York times shows us almost every day.

00:58:06.420 Every day they show it and they show it in, in, in, in the, the thing is, is, is that there's actually supported by so many people.

00:58:15.000 And that's why it's so disgusting when you see from the president on down, uh, people that continue to call this kid, uh, a white supremacist.

00:58:24.220 Um, and I know people that are very, very close to him and that is just a slap in the face.

00:58:29.240 This kid is not political.

00:58:30.520 He doesn't even, he doesn't know Republican from Democrat.

00:58:33.600 He's not involved in politics.

00:58:35.500 He's, he's, he's not, that is not even where his head is.

00:58:39.160 Uh, and so to just paint this false narrative around this kid, this kid was 17 year old.

00:58:46.000 He he's a normal kid out there wanting to be an EMT and helping and serving.

00:58:51.580 He's, he's, he's cleaning off graffiti.

00:58:54.280 I'll tell you what, if that was my son out there doing that, I don't want to do the exact same thing that Kyle Rittenhouse did.

00:59:01.240 If I was in that situation, I have, you'd have no choice, but to protect yourself.

00:59:05.400 Uh, and then you, you look at the folks who are attacking him and then you really understand and see what situation, the situation was like.

00:59:13.780 These were all out criminals on the streets.

00:59:17.880 And the fact, the fact that black lives matter in the left have somehow propped up these people.

00:59:27.880 I mean, these keep raping kids.

00:59:29.380 One guy that raped five kids while they even on the street because of these liberal policies releasing these, these folks, these people shouldn't even have been on the streets.

00:59:38.880 And now all of a sudden, uh, they're acting as if Kyle Rittenhouse went out and hunted three black men.

00:59:45.140 I mean, it really is ridiculous how the, the media has been able to change this narrative.

00:59:51.680 And then all of these leaders on the left that should be sensible people that we, we have obligations as adults to stand up, uh, and to be, make a good impact for our kids and to tell the truth.

01:00:02.360 But to come at a kid like this, this boy was 17 years old to come at a kid like this really shows you how low things have gotten and how low these people are to be able to use this to prop up themselves, uh, with this false narrative.

01:00:15.980 It really is disgusting. Uh, I just hope, and I pray for this nation, as we go into this 22 cycle and a 24 cycle, uh, that the violence comes back and people get a, get a sense of reality again, uh, and put their own children and themselves in the, in the situation that others are placed in.

01:00:34.300 Uh, and they may react to it a little bit differently.

01:00:37.320 Yeah, I, we can certainly pray. So, uh, Jack, it's been great talking with you, uh, you know, amongst the things that we deal with.

01:00:45.980 The GoFundMe people denied Rittenhouse a fundraising, uh, address on, uh, their, uh, on their GoFundMe, uh, because of his politics, as they perceived it, it was because of GoFundMe's politics, not Rittenhouse's, that they denied this kid support from GoFundMe.

01:01:08.920 And it's disgusting. Well, they also provided crowdfunding for BLM rioters, looters. Uh, it's, it's appalling. It's not about his politics. It's about the politics of those who have a vested interest in turning this country upside down.

01:01:26.400 And they don't give a damn about the lives, the young lives that they are, uh, so negatively influencing and in some cases destroying, uh, a lot of work to be done.

01:01:38.780 And I think you had it right from, uh, the very beginning here, Jack, some people just can't stand the truth and others, others demand it. I'm delighted to have you on the show. You are a man who demands the truth. I respect that.

01:01:55.020 And I applaud, uh, your nature and your commitment. Thanks so much for being with us, Jack. Thanks, Lou. God bless you. Thank you, brother. You too. Thank you. God bless.

01:02:06.720 We have deep and profound and often painful divisions and obviously problems in this country, but none of that should ever, ever mask the true, true land of opportunity that America is.

01:02:23.900 And what a beacon of hope for liberty we are to the entire world. Jack Brewer is one of those who inspire the rest of us. Great to have him on the show today.

01:02:37.040 Join us again tomorrow for the great America podcast. Stay in the fight. Truth, justice, and the American way will prevail against all enemies, against all odds.
