The Great America Show - TAXES FUND MARXISM; OUR WOKE MILITARY CAN’T WIN

00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Great America podcast with Lou Dobbs, always in the fight for truth, justice, and yes, our American way of life.

00:00:09.340 And now here he is, the Peabody award-winning voice of truth, the great Lou Dobbs.

00:00:14.860 Hello, everybody, and welcome back to the Great America Show.

00:00:18.340 The 2021 November elections produced, as you probably noticed, a seismic shock to the Democratic Party in the sway of the Marxist left, the Biden White House, and radical Dems on Capitol Hill, who unleashed a campaign to seize control of public education and, in effect, prepare the way forward for the federal government, those wonderful teachers unions, and yes, the Marxist left, to control the education of all students.

00:00:47.660 And push aside parents, their rights, push aside local school boards and local communities to determine who will be teaching our children and what they will be taught.

00:01:00.520 Virginia's gubernatorial Democratic candidate, Terry McAuliffe, actually told Virginia voters before the election that their schools had too many white teachers, that he didn't believe parents should actually be telling schools what they should teach and how.

00:01:17.080 And in choosing governor-elect Glenn Youngkin, they announced what will likely be a nationwide rollback of critical race theory and the effort to replace parents with the state.

00:01:30.740 Joining us now to take up the role of CRT and the role of the Marxist left and their efforts to indoctrinate our students.

00:01:40.040 We're joined by an outstanding journalist who's been amongst the leaders in reporting the impact of CRT, whether in schools or business or in government.

00:01:51.200 Christopher Ruffo.

00:01:52.160 Chris, great to have you with us.

00:01:54.260 Is CRT now being pushed not only through some government agencies, but public education?

00:02:01.100 And who is winning this battle over CRT?

00:02:06.380 Yeah, absolutely.

00:02:07.000 It's something that, while it originated in law schools, has now filtered down to K-12 schools.

00:02:12.980 And as I've reported throughout this year, dozens of different stories where these really horrible principles of race essentialism, a collective guilt, dividing students into categories of oppressor and oppressed based on their skin color,

00:02:30.700 is now becoming more and more common, not only in big blue city districts like in San Francisco and New York and Seattle, but in places you wouldn't expect, in the American heartland, in red states, because it's become the default ideology of so many of our public institutions.

00:02:50.580 And while I would like to think that the tide has turned in the last year, we're facing some serious uphill battle because it's become extremely entrenched and they have billions of dollars in public funding to play with the ideology and the curriculum in so many of our schools.

00:03:11.200 When you say the money to play, what do you mean play?

00:03:16.200 Because the parents listening to us, grandparents, and I hope a lot of students as well, are understandably confused about all of the terminology, about who is behind this wave of energy, behind what is a Marxist philosophy, clearly being pushed by, once we thought they were neoliberals,

00:03:41.200 but it looks like they're old-time Marxists, working very hard to take down our traditional institutions and values.

00:03:49.700 Well, you have to really start at the beginning is what are the origins of critical race theory and how does it move through our institutions?

00:03:57.120 And it's a really kind of ironic twist. You have a revolutionary ideology that is actually publicly subsidized and publicly financed.

00:04:07.480 It began in the universities, the big state schools, which are publicly funded, as well as the elite private schools, which are publicly subsidized to the tune of billions of dollars a year.

00:04:17.720 And then this philosophy emerges in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and then it finds places and new institutions to colonize.

00:04:27.160 And it's most successfully moved from law schools to the university system to graduate schools of education, and now to K-12 schools and departments of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion that have become cemented in the bureaucracies in most school districts and many state agencies.

00:04:46.100 And so what you have is an ideology that is a creature of taxpayer money, it lives through taxpayer subsidies, and then extends itself through the organs of state bureaucracies, where it's unaccountable to the market, and it's increasingly unaccountable to voters, who in many cases don't approve these things directly.

00:05:06.440 Secondly, there's just part of this endless creep of bureaucracies that always cements its own power, first and foremost.

00:05:14.740 And so what you have is an ideology emerging from universities that now provides two things to the public school systems.

00:05:22.380 One, it provides a sense of purpose that is much easier than the traditional goals of education, to get people through basic literacy and then basic preparation for citizenship, which for decades our schools, especially in the big inner cities, have failed to do.

00:05:40.840 And so this provides them an alternate framework that isn't based on merit or academic excellence or accomplishment or even basic literacy.

00:05:48.120 It's based on politics, and then it also serves to shift the blame elsewhere.

00:05:54.360 You have these bloated public school bureaucracies that in some cases fail to educate in basic reading, writing, and math more than 80% of their students in a place like Philadelphia or Buffalo.

00:06:06.420 They adopt this ideology to excuse their own failures to educate and shift the blame to abstract forces like systemic racism.

00:06:14.480 And so that's the territory that we have now.

00:06:18.420 That's what's happening.

00:06:19.460 We have the ideology entrenched in its power through bureaucracy.

00:06:23.260 We're exposing it.

00:06:24.720 We've done a great job at doing that.

00:06:26.520 But we need to take the next step and show how parents can push back against it in local school districts and at the state level.

00:06:33.780 You know, it's interesting to me, Chris, that what we have not heard, we've heard a great deal from the Biden administration, from the government, from our federal government in particular.

00:06:45.100 But it's also, as you say straight out, it's also now a creature of our public education system at the local level.

00:06:52.280 The administrative state, in all its levels of bureaucracy, has really taken hold of this and is a force that is financed by the very people who are right now passive victims to this onslaught of Marxist ideology, critical race theory,

00:07:14.200 and the absolute despicable attack on cherished American values and all of the premises by which this great country, whether it be through immigration and assimilation, a melting pot,

00:07:32.440 whether it be through a middle class that was born of hard work and, and without question, great opportunity, that's being now denied the very people who are taking on the chore of delivering an entirely different political and economic system.

00:07:51.780 That's right. You have, at the basis of this ideology, a complete and explicit rejection of the founding principles of the country.

00:08:03.720 They say that the Declaration was a document of hypocrisy that preached equality, but, but was designed to distract from exploitation.

00:08:14.720 And you even have then a critique, a very strong critique from the critical race theorists about the 14th Amendment, which, after the Civil War, guaranteed equality under the law to each individual citizen,

00:08:29.780 which they reject as a kind of race-neutral oppression in itself that, that sought to not provide equality, but to enshrine inequality.

00:08:40.160 And even the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which traditionally liberals have held to be a mark of progress towards a system of codified law that, that stops racial discrimination.

00:08:55.160 The critical race theorists reject as a false or fake or camouflage that enables white supremacy and oppression, which they argue is just as bad now in 2021 as it was in 1921 or 1821.

00:09:14.160 They believe that racism is the essence of this country, that it's unchanging, that it's dominant across every institution, and therefore their program, which they don't always admit in such stark terms,

00:09:28.840 but it's there in the literature that they've created over the last three decades, is to eliminate or abolish all of the systems from the Constitution to our economic system of capitalism to the legal system that guarantees individual rights in favor of a collectivist and a race-based form of neo-Marxism.

00:09:52.080 This is the goal, this is the goal, and they believe that the strategy to achieving it is to soften the consciousness of the public through the education system,

00:10:02.020 softening the minds of young people to this revolutionary ideology so that when they become of age, they're thoroughly jaded and, and, and desperate and willing to topple the system at the root, at the level of its deepest foundations.

00:10:19.560 And the parents themselves are, are being criminalized for their concerns and fears about how their children are being taught and what they're being taught about what is an assault on their minds.

00:10:33.880 You talk about the effort by these Marxists, these CRT advocates to soften the minds of our children.

00:10:44.780 It's really, as well, desensitizing their minds and turning them from, from objective education and to something of indoctrination, radicalization, and social activism at some level.

00:11:03.880 Yeah, even on a sixth grade class, it's, it's, it's really stunning stuff and they're getting away with it.

00:11:10.280 Uh, take note that the justice department, the attorney general saying that there will be investigations of parents who threaten school boards, quote unquote, threatened there.

00:11:21.840 I haven't seen a single, uh, substantial, uh, evidence of a actual threat against a school board, a physical threat, uh, being carried out, let alone, uh, being, uh, articulated, uh, in a credible way.

00:11:37.040 Have you?

00:11:37.840 Well, I've looked through the documents from the national school boards association and the department of justice, and there was one incident in Illinois of a, uh, someone attending a school board meeting, getting into a scuffle, uh, and then committing a simple battery, uh, in this process of being, uh, taken out of the, of the room.

00:12:00.440 And we should condemn this. There should be no violence of any kind at school board meetings within our institutions. Um, but this is one example from 14,000 school districts that have had tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of school board meetings.

00:12:16.680 Uh, this year, uh, it doesn't in any way represent a threat of domestic terrorism or a widespread threat of violence, uh, at the school boards. Uh, it's being used rather as a pretext to suppress parents, to silence dissent, uh, and to really push forward this idea that was even published recently in the Washington post.

00:12:39.000 Parents do not have a right to guide their kids' education in the public school system. They're out and out saying it now, uh, that they believe that parents are an impediment to the total control by bureaucrats.

00:12:52.360 And this, unfortunately, isn't anything new. They may be saying it out loud right now, uh, but this has been a theme in, uh, Marxist literature dating back 150 years.

00:13:02.600 They see the nuclear family. Uh, they see, uh, uh, uh, uh, fatherhood. Um, they see the, the structure of, of, of, of the family itself as an impediment to their ideology, as an impediment to their revolution.

00:13:18.240 And so it's by no surprise that they believe that the state through the public schools should be the primary shaping factor, uh, in a child's development.

00:13:28.520 And that's where the fight is because thankfully American parents are standing up and they're saying, uh, we reject this. Uh, we are the ultimate authority over our children's, uh, development.

00:13:39.340 Uh, and we do not accept this extraordinary overreach, uh, uh, and indoctrination by a state entity that we no longer trust and we no longer believe is serving the best interests of our kids.

00:13:53.160 To me, it's, it's, it's interesting, Chris, that local school boards are elected. Uh, they represent the, the community and they are being shunned by the school bureaucracy. Uh, that is the superintendents, the, uh, principals, the administrative staff, as well as the two powerful teachers unions, uh, the Federation of Teachers and the NEA.

00:14:20.640 And they're getting away with it again, uh, with public public taxpayer dollars driving the entire operation.

00:14:29.940 Uh, how does a community reclaim the power that is theirs under the constitution, under law in this country to say, parents will by God be given their due.

00:14:46.560 And we'll be deciding what their children are taught and will be deciding who is doing the teaching.

00:14:54.060 It's a question of, uh, organization.

00:14:58.000 And thankfully we've had some shining examples in recent months that show us exactly the path forward for parents, uh, to reclaim, uh, authority over the public schools.

00:15:10.760 And then, uh, reestablish accountability within these organizations and parents from California to New York state, uh, to the state of Texas have organized at the grassroots level.

00:15:23.000 Have come together with a, even a small group, five, 10, 20, a hundred people, uh, showed up at school board meetings, let their positions be known, uh, demanding change and accountability. 0.91

00:15:34.020 And if, when that's not been delivered, uh, they've successfully, for example, in Westchester County, uh, toppled the stupid superintendent, uh, actually advocated for, uh, removal of superintendents and achieved it.

00:15:48.400 Uh, or in Texas, uh, or in Texas, parents who have never been politically active had said, uh, you know what, enough is enough. 0.95

00:15:54.080 We're running for school board.

00:15:55.360 They overthrew the, the existing school board leadership.

00:15:58.580 They're now reforming those institutions.

00:16:00.960 So it's not just that, uh, that we have as citizens, uh, a right to guide, shape, and, and control our public institutions.

00:16:10.960 We actually have a duty to participate and the public institutions will seek their own way and their own sovereignty and their own domination over the public, unless the public spends a significant amount of energy engaging in the democratic process, organizing at the school board level, running for office when it's necessary, and then making a very clear line in the sand.

00:16:35.640 If you transgress our, if you transgress our values, if you abuse our kids, uh, we will hold you accountable.

00:16:42.160 We'll remove you from office and we will replace you with people who, uh, reflect the virtues that we want to transmit through our institutions.

00:16:50.620 And what I'm seeing now is a awakening across the country of parents who are sick of the bureaucracy, deciding what happens to their kids.

00:16:58.960 And they're taking control of these systems, uh, reforming them for the good, uh, and letting, uh, letting these, uh, bureaucrats know, uh, there is, uh, a line that you shall not cross or we will replace you.

00:17:14.260 And compounding the complexity of this, uh, this conflict is corporate America and the place of business, which has traditionally been conservative,

00:17:25.080 which has traditionally been behind the parents of the community and the traditional values in our school systems and all of the other institutions.

00:17:34.400 But now suddenly business is moving left.

00:17:38.440 Uh, it's confronted with corporate community responsibilities, whether it be, uh, equity and, uh, inclusion and diversity, whatever it may be.

00:17:49.200 They're having a lot of material that is Marxist, uh, shoved down their throats, the national chamber of commerce, the business round table are in league through their HR departments, through their lobbying efforts with the left on all of this political correctness mandates, you name it.

00:18:11.520 They do not look anything like a conservative group of, uh, uh, businesses anymore and companies.

00:18:18.240 They look more like left-wing organizations that just happen to be a, uh, an enterprise your thoughts.

00:18:25.880 Well, I think this is again, a question of organization.

00:18:29.840 If you think about, uh, a CEO of a fortune 100 company, they get a lot of pressure from the media and from activists on the left, uh, to do their bidding,

00:18:39.900 to follow the orthodoxies of, of political correctness or identity politics, and they don't have a similar pressure from the right.

00:18:47.700 But we know, and even through some of my own reporting on these companies, we know that when we exert a countervailing pressure, we can have influence.

00:18:56.680 I reported on a egregious, uh, so-called anti-racism program at Disney, uh, that taught employees that America was fundamentally racist and that they should atone for their internalized racial guilt, uh,

00:19:09.680 within 72 hours, the company, uh, nuked the program from their internal servers completely.

00:19:15.620 Um, I reported on American Express, uh, and forced the CEO of the company to be personally responding to emails for a few days, uh, defending the policy from angry customers.

00:19:27.880 So we know, even through this small example, I can only do so much within my own individual bar, but we know that if we can replicate this on a bigger scale, conservatives can, uh, can leverage, uh, their voice, can leverage their, uh, their power, uh, to provide a counterbalancing force.

00:19:47.340 And, and, and I think people, frankly, conservatives have rested on their laurels, believing that business was always on their side.

00:19:54.240 That's changed.

00:19:55.480 Uh, and I think that we need to readjust our strategy accordingly.

00:19:59.580 Yeah.

00:20:00.200 Complicating the matter, as I said, uh, corporate America, uh, which has always been, if you will, uh, the critics would say in league, uh, with the country club Republicans, or as I would call them rhinos, uh, Republicans in name only.

00:20:16.460 Are trying to create a, uh, uh, are trying to create a new image of themselves going into the 22 elections, that they're the party of working men and women, uh, as Donald Trump, President Trump, uh, led them forward to victory in 2016.

00:20:33.460 But the truth of the matter is that Republicans in name only the establishment Republican party is in league with the same corporations, the same mindsets, and the same administrative state or deep state.

00:20:50.320 In most cases, uh, uh, that are creating these, uh, these issues, these conflicts, uh, and not only financing, but in some cases, uh, enabling the assault on fundamental values and the fundamental way of life in this country.

00:21:07.380 It is, I mean, it is an absolutely, uh, uphill battle.

00:21:13.100 We're up against the most powerful institutions, uh, in the country that seem to be working together and playing from the same playbook.

00:21:20.860 Uh, but ultimately we have to be optimistic because the vast mass of the American people, uh, still believes in the country.

00:21:30.440 Uh, they still believe in our, uh, possibility, uh, and they still believe in those principles of, uh, strong families of, uh, uh, uh, citizen control of public institutions.

00:21:42.840 Uh, and a, uh, a continuing unfolding of our national story towards those great principles of freedom and equality.

00:21:50.640 And so we have to appeal to and mobilize this great base of the American people.

00:21:57.100 And ultimately I'm confident because, uh, we've seen even in the last year, some major changes because even though we're up against institutions of great power, uh, the truth that we have, the truth that we've exposed, uh,

00:22:12.840 can topple, uh, these paper tigers that rule the bureaucracies, uh, throughout our country.

00:22:18.860 Uh, and I know that if enough of us, even a small band of us, uh, can come together, we can speak the truth, uh, we can remain, uh, fearless in the face of power.

00:22:28.640 Um, we can topple them, uh, we can restore power back to the American citizen, uh, and we can tame, uh, these, these, these tyrannical bureaucratic authorities, uh,

00:22:41.020 that threaten the American way of life.

00:22:43.020 And like you, I'm an optimist.

00:22:45.420 I know we can do this.

00:22:47.060 And when I say we, I'm talking about the American people, working men and women and their families, small business people can take control of their communities and, and, and eliminate, uh, this assault.

00:23:02.340 Uh, I think, uh, I, I think absolutely, uh, rid it, not just simply push it back, but destroy it.

00:23:08.940 And that's really, that is really the, the mission before us.

00:23:14.220 Encouragingly, uh, a recent poll, uh, showed that three quarters, almost three quarters of parents surveyed are very concerned and disturbed by what is being taught in their children's, uh, schools.

00:23:28.780 And I, I haven't seen a more encouraging poll on this issue, uh, in the last decade.

00:23:36.360 And that I think should give everyone great, uh, great hope and, and considerable excitement to join the fight and to be certain, uh, for your children, your grandchildren, uh, that we win this fight.

00:23:51.280 That's right.

00:23:52.060 And we were seeing this, uh, these new numbers coming in.

00:23:55.820 And I mean, people really care.

00:23:57.660 And I think, you know, it's one thing for the public to see, uh, some identity politics nonsense at the university or the federal government.

00:24:07.380 Uh, it, you can shake that off.

00:24:09.440 It doesn't affect you directly.

00:24:10.600 But once people have woken up to the fact that the state bureaucracies and the critical race ideologues are actually going after your kids are going after the most vulnerable and impressionable members of our society.

00:24:27.580 Uh, they crossed a line that is, uh, sacred to, uh, almost everyone in this country.

00:24:34.460 You're trying to separate or create a wedge between parent and child.

00:24:39.160 That's why we're seeing these numbers.

00:24:41.080 That's why we're seeing people, uh, awakening.

00:24:44.240 Uh, that's why we're seeing people who have previously been apathetic or disengaged starting to participate in the political process.

00:24:51.580 And, and I'm confident that this is just the beginning, uh, we've opened up a new domain for, uh, politics.

00:24:59.080 We've opened up, uh, uh, the eyes of millions of people, uh, and as they get engaged this year and next year, I think we're going to see tremendous changes.

00:25:09.080 I'm optimistic, I'm confident, uh, and I'm hoping that this is only, uh, the beginning of a long process of, uh, restoring, uh, the, the autonomy and sovereignty and authority of American families of all racial backgrounds of all political stripes against this cruel and, and dehumanizing, uh, state machine.

00:25:30.680 I've always believed, Chris, that our public education system, I'm a product of public education, uh, is, is my wife, uh, and our children went to public schools.

00:25:43.040 It is the great equalizer in our society.

00:25:47.180 I don't think there's a stronger force for equality in this country than public education.

00:25:54.160 It's given poor people an opportunity to demonstrate their talent and their ability, uh, to be rewarded with opportunity for over 200 years and to watch what we are letting happen, uh, to this great public education system is disgusting.

00:26:11.440 Uh, and, and in some cases it's because of overly powerful teachers union, the NAA or the Federation of Teachers, uh, also the national school board association.

00:26:24.160 It really works as a proxy for both, uh, of those left-wing, uh, teachers unions too often against the school board, uh, in lobbying and in representing, uh, the issues, uh, on Capitol Hill.

00:26:39.800 We have to be very, very sophisticated and understand, uh, who the, who the enemies are in this fight and make certain that we bring them to heel.

00:26:51.100 Uh, you get the last word here, Chris.

00:26:52.800 I think you're absolutely right.

00:26:54.880 What we're seeing in our country is, uh, many institutions that have been corrupted.

00:27:00.140 I think teachers unions, uh, at the highest position among them and conservatives need to be exactly that sophisticated in how we fight, uh, sophisticated in our language that we use to fight, uh, and sophisticated in our strategies to, uh, undermine and, and disrupt the power of these institutions that aren't serving the public good.

00:27:21.620 Uh, and I think we go straight for the teachers unions, uh, which create a cycle of corruption, uh, which don't put students and families first, uh, and we start there and we've already seen encouraging signs.

00:27:33.240 We've actually shattered the national school boards association in recent months.

00:27:37.340 Uh, we now have divided their state from their national organizations.

00:27:41.240 We have state organizations that have denounced the national headquarters, entire states that have separated from the national organization.

00:27:48.360 Uh, it's splintering because we put the spotlight on them.

00:27:51.620 We've exposed their corruption and we've hammered at them every day.

00:27:55.060 Uh, and so this is a model going forward, uh, in this great, uh, fight, this great quest, uh, to bring the teachers unions to heel and eventually abolish them from American life.

00:28:06.720 And to win this fight, we're very fortunate to have Chris, uh, Chris Ruffo in the fight.

00:28:12.600 He's been leading the fight, uh, for years and, uh, we owe you a great, uh, a great debt of gratitude.

00:28:19.620 And as always, Chris, great talking with you.

00:28:22.220 I hope you'll come back soon.

00:28:23.640 And again, thanks for all you're doing for the American people and the American way.

00:28:30.160 Chris Ruffo.

00:28:31.240 We will continue in just one moment.

00:28:33.600 Stay with us.

00:28:34.320 The world isn't any less dangerous than when we last got together.

00:28:39.800 And there are signs that danger levels are rising at potential flashpoints around the globe, whether inspired by Iran, Russia, or China.

00:28:49.660 And we do have to give some considerable credit to the enfeebled Biden White House and the effectless Euro pacifists who want to buy much of their oil and natural gas from Russia.

00:29:00.760 And who obviously believe that they'll only have to pay for that energy in euros, Russian rubles, and dollars.

00:29:08.840 That price will certainly go much higher in what has been for years a Cold War standoff between Russia and Europe could well in a flash break into a very hot confrontation.

00:29:20.680 Only now is it occurring seemingly to the NATO nations, whose militaries are underfunded, undermanned, and under-equipped, that they could easily be overwhelmed by Russian forces now massed on the western border of Russia.

00:29:35.380 Satellite imagery convincingly supports Ukraine claims of 100,000 Russian troops concentrated on the eastern border of Ukraine.

00:29:45.820 NATO Secretary Stoltenberg sounds vaguely delusional as he warns Russia that they must be, are you ready for this word?

00:29:53.040 They must be transparent about their military activities, whatever that means.

00:29:58.140 It doesn't sound like a red line, does it? Or an ultimatum.

00:30:02.240 It sounds more like Stoltenberg can't stand the suspense as we await Putin's next move.

00:30:08.940 All the innovated Europeans can muster is a cry for transparency as Russian tanks warm up their diesel engines ready to rumble toward eastern Europe. 0.89

00:30:19.020 And NATO naval ships, including those of the U.S., have so far avoided confrontation with the Russian Navy on the Black Sea.

00:30:28.440 But it's clear all sides are engaged in a high-risk exercise that could result in an explosive conflict, whether on the Black Sea or in the skies above it.

00:30:38.840 We'll take up the rising number of national security threats to the United States with Robert O'Neill, former Navy SEAL.

00:30:45.400 Yes, that Robert O'Neill, who shot and killed Osama bin Laden just over 10 years ago.

00:30:52.640 He is a great American hero.

00:30:54.940 He served with SEAL Team 2 and the storied SEAL Team 6.

00:30:59.140 The Navy awarded O'Neill two silver stars, four bronze star medals, a remarkable number of commendation medals for valor.

00:31:06.600 He works as a motivational speaker, appears frequently on Newsmax television.

00:31:10.900 And there is talk of strong support for O'Neill to run for political office.

00:31:16.560 O'Neill is also a graduate of Butte Central High School, attended Montana Technological University.

00:31:23.360 He is without question a great American, as I said, a national hero.

00:31:27.780 And by the way, a gifted author of witty, incisive tweets.

00:31:32.760 Rob, great to have you with us.

00:31:34.420 Welcome to The Great America Show.

00:31:36.600 It is great to talk to you.

00:31:37.540 Thank you for the invitation.

00:31:39.420 Anytime.

00:31:39.900 You got a deal.

00:31:41.500 We'll impose on you by taking you up on that generous offer.

00:31:45.220 Okay, cool.

00:31:46.720 I'd like to have your thoughts, first of all, on what you know about right now, the readiness of our military.

00:31:52.140 It's going through immense changes, as I think most Americans know.

00:31:57.940 But the readiness of our military across all branches, in particular, the quality of this country's leadership, whether military or civilian.

00:32:05.960 The readiness, I like to think, is always there because of the not so much junior leadership, but definitely not the senior leadership.

00:32:16.380 I wouldn't say they're junior, just the middle-level officers and then the semi-senior enlisted.

00:32:21.740 Because a lot of them have had their boots on the ground in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, and they get it. 0.69

00:32:27.400 The problem is the senior leadership who's in charge, they're either going to get out and get into a political life or get appointed to their next star by someone in politics right now.

00:32:36.100 So they need to toe the line as far as being woke right now is where they're at.

00:32:40.480 The Marine Corps just recently came out.

00:32:42.380 The Commandant of the Marine Corps just came out and said they're really going to overhaul the entire Marine Corps.

00:32:46.920 In the same sentence, it was so we can concentrate on diversity and then find out about retention.

00:32:53.460 Why can't we keep people in? 0.99

00:32:54.520 And I was thinking, well, the question and answer are right there in the headline.

00:33:00.380 Because the diversity thing, the woke thing, only matters to the senior leadership because of the political division.

00:33:05.700 The men and women in the military, they're not thinking about diversity.

00:33:10.380 They're thinking about why am I taking this online course about stuff when I should be on the range shooting, when I should be in the gym lifting, when we should be shooting, moving, and communicating.

00:33:20.800 And they're not doing that.

00:33:21.800 And the reason people are getting out is Navy SEALs are leaving in droves right now.

00:33:26.580 And I've been told it's because of this ridiculous readiness.

00:33:31.060 They call it readiness, but there's nothing to do with it.

00:33:32.740 When I was in the military, my last deployment, probably about eight months after we killed Osama bin Laden, I did go back overseas.

00:33:39.780 And the big thing was repealing of don't ask, don't tell.

00:33:42.900 And, you know, the media is talking about it.

00:33:45.220 Politicians are talking about it.

00:33:46.720 And we're looking around the room in Afghanistan with Navy SEALs like, does anybody care if anyone's gay?

00:33:52.040 No.

00:33:52.580 All we care about is the standards.

00:33:54.200 If you're good enough to be here, you should be here.

00:33:56.080 That's it.

00:33:56.740 But they just spin this into politics.

00:33:59.400 And we're seeing it right now, like I said, with the Marine Corps, with the Navy, how their mask mandates and all this stuff.

00:34:05.660 China and Russia are not dealing with wokeism.

00:34:09.160 And we are.

00:34:09.700 And they're laughing at us.

00:34:10.500 They're taking advantage of us.

00:34:12.240 And, you know, again, not that it's not right.

00:34:14.500 Everyone deserves an equal opportunity, but we need to have standards.

00:34:17.140 And all we're doing right now is if someone can't pass the standards, we'll just lower the standards.

00:34:21.580 That's all they're doing.

00:34:22.620 So the readiness is out there.

00:34:23.600 You know, we're getting our butt kicks in war games right now.

00:34:27.320 Everything from friendly exercises with, like, the Royal Marines in the UK to combat-ready exercises where we get destroyed by Iran, of all people. 1.00

00:34:37.800 And you can't even talk to some of these senior-level people because they're claiming to have defenses.

00:34:42.580 It's like, yeah, well, we can shoot down an anti-aircraft carrier missile.

00:34:46.680 It's like, fine.

00:34:47.160 Can you shoot down 1,000 of them at once? 0.61

00:34:49.500 And they're taking their eye completely off the ball.

00:34:52.840 You know, we got bogged down in Afghanistan to the point where everyone's just trying to make the next rank.

00:34:57.620 And that's where some officers don't tell senior leaders the truth because they don't want to not get that job.

00:35:04.120 So our eyes off the ball, we're concentrating on the wrong stuff.

00:35:07.300 And if and when it comes to a war with China, it's going to be bad for us.

00:35:11.820 And let's be clear, because the national left-wing media, and I don't know whether you can speak to this or not, but I have witnessed it over the years, has become far more dependent on the branches, whatever branch it is, for greater security so they can maintain openness and actually get some news out of the Marines or out of the Navy, the Air Force, whichever branch it is.

00:35:41.820 So they choose not to press on one point or the other, whether it be, is there really enough ammunition for training exercises in the United States Army?

00:35:53.400 We know the answer is no, there isn't.

00:35:56.140 But there it is.

00:35:57.240 You see very few stories about that.

00:35:59.180 There's very little ammunition available to the general public in this country.

00:36:04.480 How could that be?

00:36:05.480 And the answer is, we're not making the ammunition.

00:36:08.460 We have another supply chain disruption in this country that's affecting the readiness, in my judgment, at least, and I want to know yours, of our military.

00:36:19.660 Well, we're not making anything here.

00:36:21.300 It's the same thing in principle as closing the Keystone Pipeline and then begging OPEC to make more oil.

00:36:29.000 We can do it ourselves.

00:36:31.220 We can manufacture ourselves.

00:36:32.440 But someone somewhere will come up with how – there are places in Coronado, California, where Navy SEAL training, based on the water devilish SEAL training is.

00:36:41.260 They knocked out – I don't know how much is a whole bunch of land we could have been using because of some domestic bumblebee.

00:36:49.160 You know, I don't know.

00:36:49.880 I'm probably wrong with what it was, but it's something that's silly that you can't get trained here because of, you know, some environmental protection agency restriction.

00:36:57.400 And because of politicians, they're just – they're cutting us off at the knees. 0.97

00:37:01.000 And I was back in 1996, you know, that I got out in 2012.

00:37:06.100 And you can just see it coming.

00:37:08.500 And, I mean, a great example I have right now is watching the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Mark Milley.

00:37:12.360 And when we left Afghanistan and just the arrogance of, well, you know, you can't touch us, whatever – the way that I put it is the naval football team in Annapolis, Naval Academy, they went 0-2.

00:37:24.980 They immediately fired their offensive coordinator.

00:37:27.120 We get 13 people killed in a very predictable and preventable attack in the blink of an eye.

00:37:31.060 Not a person gets reprimanded except the one officer who asked for accountability.

00:37:36.900 Right.

00:37:37.680 The Marine who said point blank, this isn't working and we need accountability.

00:37:42.360 Our senior officers are getting a free pass, even though we are seeing failure after failure after failure.

00:37:50.300 It's stomach-churning for all of us who care about this country, about our military, to see what is happening.

00:37:57.160 And Mark Milley instead is – still leads the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

00:38:01.900 He is a politician.

00:38:03.500 He has lied outright to the United States Congress.

00:38:07.020 He continues to brag that he not only called the counterparts in the PLA of Communist China to warn them that there is some instability in the upper levels of government and that we might attack.

00:38:23.920 He said he would do it all over again.

00:38:25.960 I know.

00:38:26.800 Which effectively breached this country's fundamental, fundamental commitment to civilian leadership of the military.

00:38:33.260 It completely does too.

00:38:34.940 And that's – I mean that's all because they're fragile egos.

00:38:36.940 Once you get to a certain level of being a senior officer, I would say show me a four-star general and I will show you a minimum of 11 people who are really good at kissing butt.

00:38:44.480 That's what it is.

00:38:45.460 And they're so fragile because when – when – when – when – you know, if I'm in the military and I'm at the point where I'm not carrying my own bags,

00:38:52.640 maybe I should be taking advice from some junior enlisted people, you're going to get better advice from an E-5 in the Marine Corps on the ground than you are, you know, a lieutenant general because the general below him is telling him just what he wants to hear.

00:39:04.380 He's not telling the truth.

00:39:05.200 And they're not even realizing that yet.

00:39:06.900 And a good leader is accountable.

00:39:10.540 And with Mark Milley, it's one of two ways.

00:39:13.040 Either I told the president not to do this and he didn't or he went against my advice and it went like it went.

00:39:18.380 I'm resigning.

00:39:19.180 If I gave him that advice, I should be fired because I'm simply incompetent.

00:39:23.320 And it just – it just didn't happen that way and they were just – it's amazing that they – again, they take no blame.

00:39:29.740 There is no shame.

00:39:30.460 And, I mean, even think about this.

00:39:32.340 And watching a year or two when Mark Milley's out and he's working for one of these major contractors, isn't it convenient that we left so much stuff behind in Afghanistan that now we just need to make it again?

00:39:41.320 There's a couple hundred million dollar contract that I'm going to broker.

00:39:43.900 I mean, it's really, really sick.

00:39:45.640 You know, we haven't won a war since World War II.

00:39:50.220 And if you want to lose, which we have, involve these high-ranking officers, people in suits on the beltway, and get a bunch of lawyers involved, you're going to lose the war.

00:39:58.040 We've proven it time and time again.

00:40:01.020 Yeah, unfortunately, you're exactly right.

00:40:04.360 And Milley, as he sits atop the military in this country, sits atop it still, despite those 13 Marines who died in Kabul, that disastrous extrication from Kabul.

00:40:21.220 It turned out to be a disaster, a catastrophe that we could never have imagined.

00:40:25.980 And Milley stayed at the top, as where he is today.

00:40:29.840 The Commandant, as you pointed out, of the Marine Corps, is now talking about diversity and equity and reflecting the population in the makeup of the United States Marine Corps.

00:40:43.280 I've got news for the Commandant and the rest of the people who lead this military.

00:40:48.900 This country has never had a military that reflect the population.

00:40:54.320 We've had patriots who stand up and join the Marine Corps and every other branch of the service to defend the nation and to serve the nation.

00:41:04.740 And that has generally been, by the way, folks from the West and from the southeastern part of the United States predominantly.

00:41:13.120 And you can break it down ethically or demographically.

00:41:16.180 And by the way, you'll see a lot of Scots-Irish in there as well as you go through the mix.

00:41:22.760 This is nonsense.

00:41:23.980 And there is no intellectual integrity and there is no sense of fact or commitment to fact when our military officers, and I'm talking about the general staff, speak to the American people almost without exception.

00:41:39.060 And let me ask you this, Rob.

00:41:41.020 First of all, if you want to respond to that, please do.

00:41:44.240 I agree with you completely, too.

00:41:45.580 I think because the military relies so much on the funding that comes from the suits and the beltway that they know it's free reign for them to do social experiments on the military because you have to do what you're told.

00:42:02.860 I mean, even with the vaccines, you know, they're punishing people.

00:42:05.680 They were talking about dishonorable discharge for not getting a vaccine.

00:42:08.500 Now, I mean, I was different when I was there when we were invading Iraq in 2003.

00:42:13.600 They were making us all get smallpox and anthrax.

00:42:16.100 And I got them just because I wanted to fight.

00:42:18.120 Like, you know, I'm young and tough and invincible.

00:42:21.540 But, you know, I look back now and I'm like, there are people high up in that administration that had a lot of stock in those companies that are forcing us to take their anthrax.

00:42:30.060 And it's just sick.

00:42:31.880 And it was never – anthrax was never a problem because it turns out there were no weapons of mass destruction.

00:42:36.160 And it's one of those things with Iraq. 0.99

00:42:37.940 It's like, okay, you know, we never should have invaded, but we also shouldn't have left as quickly as we did.

00:42:42.940 And it's something that they have a problem with that I was a big believer in a lot of the missions I was in in real combat where it doesn't matter how and why we got here.

00:42:50.980 We're just here.

00:42:52.200 Now what do we do?

00:42:53.640 And they're just – they're focused on most of it.

00:42:57.540 And, again, up to the politicians, they really – all they care about is how do I improve my personal life?

00:43:05.940 How do I get the next rung?

00:43:08.200 And how can I make more money?

00:43:09.380 I mean, it's one – it's, again, too, and this has been said time and time again, and I've got to bring politicians to do it because they're involved with combat.

00:43:15.180 It's like I don't really have a problem with the very successful businessman who's already a millionaire going into Congress.

00:43:20.920 The problem I have is with someone that doesn't have any money, and all of a sudden they become a millionaire in Congress.

00:43:27.060 And it's there, and we see it.

00:43:28.180 It's sickening.

00:43:29.680 It seems – and I can't speak to this with great certainty, but I have the sense that the people you're describing, that is, those who walked in with a certain amount of money would walk out with millions.

00:43:40.060 I think that's the larger sample size in the U.S. Congress, and as you say, it's abominable.

00:43:47.860 It's just abominable.

00:43:48.920 And you have to tell the party line, if you want to get advanced – and everyone should want to get advanced, but once you start speaking out, you're going to get canceled.

00:43:56.280 That's the same thing in the military.

00:43:57.140 I mean, it's getting worse, but now just experimenting on these people that – I mean, you know, we have people in the military who can't tell time without looking at their iPhone, let alone use a map and compass.

00:44:10.760 And I try to tell – I mean, I've talked to senior guys before, even, you know, with Afghanistan, when we should have gotten out.

00:44:16.280 But I said, well, what if – what happens when the electricity turns off in electronic warfare?

00:44:22.420 They don't have an answer.

00:44:23.360 Well, our guys can't use map and compass.

00:44:24.520 They don't know how to use their kick count when they're trying to scuba dive to put a bomb on a ship.

00:44:28.480 Even when we invaded Iraq, OK, fine, we're going to go invade Iraq. 0.98

00:44:31.940 What's going to happen?

00:44:32.500 What's the endgame?

00:44:33.240 And they're like, well, the Shia are going to rise up. 0.99

00:44:35.280 We're going to put it into government.

00:44:36.240 Everything's going to be fine. 0.78

00:44:37.420 And I started bringing up how – well, remember when we kind of screwed them over when we went into Kuwait and left Saddam to kill them, who was a Sunni? 1.00

00:44:44.540 And they said, oh, the Shia are going to rise up. 0.83

00:44:46.280 And me and the tactical leaders are like, OK, what if they don't?

00:44:49.980 And they're like, but they will.

00:44:50.940 OK, good.

00:44:51.800 But what if they don't?

00:44:52.600 But they will.

00:44:53.260 No, but what if they don't?

00:44:55.420 And they just – there's no outside-the-box thinking there. 0.96

00:44:57.800 And it's, you know, kiss someone's butt and then this is the way we've always done it. 0.89

00:45:02.660 I've asked two commandants of West Point at various points over the years. 0.71

00:45:09.240 Do you teach yet?

00:45:11.780 And by the way, West Point has a terrific warrior's curricula that is magnificent and great warriors lead much of that teaching.

00:45:24.020 But they don't teach what happens in failure, what has caused failure, what happened in Afghanistan, what happened in the early days of the Korean War, and how could we get into so much trouble so quickly without understanding what we're doing?

00:45:42.300 They don't teach failure.

00:45:43.880 I asked two commandants at various points over the years, are you teaching failure?

00:45:48.720 And they said no.

00:45:50.320 And to the best of my knowledge, they still don't.

00:45:53.800 It's stunning.

00:45:54.280 I've talked to a lot of officers recently.

00:45:57.620 And don't get me wrong.

00:45:58.540 I hate the broad brush paint.

00:46:00.080 I mean, there's some phenomenal officers.

00:46:01.480 I've worked with some of the best officers with whom I've served, went to the Naval Academy, went to West Point.

00:46:05.600 There are great officers out there.

00:46:07.200 But, you know, in order to get to that fine tip of the spear as far as brass on your shoulder, you need to say the right things.

00:46:11.760 And what we were talking about, one of the guys I was speaking with was a colonel, Green Beret, and when he said the problem, even at the war college, they claim that all they're teaching is leadership, and that's fine, leadership in the hierarchy, but you're not teaching winning, and you're not teaching losing.

00:46:29.600 And it's so obvious because, you know, you do win from success sometimes, but you should always learn from failure.

00:46:36.140 Failure is the description, and I think we have to apply to the withdrawal of the United States forces from Afghanistan, the way we left.

00:46:46.840 I can't imagine people in that region ever forgetting what the United States did.

00:46:55.000 Your thoughts about that and the absence of any accountability, and how many people do you understand?

00:47:03.460 How many Americans and how many of our allies have we left to the mercy of the Taliban and ISIS? 0.98

00:47:10.160 Well, just because of what we've done with the Taliban and ISIS, we've also left Taiwan out with China. 0.83

00:47:16.380 They know we're not going to defend them.

00:47:17.960 Look at the Ukraine.

00:47:18.640 Like we're saying, Russia's moving.

00:47:20.280 I was talking to some of my guys that were on the bin Laden raid, and over the conversation, we said, you know, because the guys that planned it, our group of tactical guys came up with the best plan,

00:47:30.280 which, by the way, the plan didn't work because a helicopter crashed, but we decided if we took that same team and tried to come up with what's the worst possible way to leave Afghanistan, that's exactly what we would have done, the worst way.

00:47:42.080 And it's so bad to the point that even with the Taliban, when they had those poor soldiers, Marines, and airmen out there, and we're watching it like they're going to send a suicide bomber in,

00:47:52.840 and because they're pretty much lying to us about the difference between the Haqqani Network Taliban and ISIS, they're going to have the Taliban just say, oh, that was ISIS.

00:48:00.120 It's like, are you kidding me right now?

00:48:02.340 And then you get bad intel on an airstrike later where you kill an entire family.

00:48:06.880 All they were doing was getting water for the family, but we got single-source intelligence, yeah, because it was someone with a blood feud against them, 1.00

00:48:12.600 or the Taliban saying, watch what we can make these idiot Americans do. 1.00

00:48:15.680 We can make them kill an innocent family. 1.00

00:48:17.160 But, and he just, I mean, I wouldn't, if I was over there, I mean, you know, as opposed to just running for one of the stands up to the north,

00:48:24.300 I'm never working with the Americans, not in the short, not now, maybe, who knows? 1.00

00:48:29.620 But it's, I mean, it was a complete intelligence failure, and again, not on the intel part,

00:48:33.640 because the three-letter agency people, they said what's going to happen, and, you know, they had to get out of there, too.

00:48:39.780 And it's just, someone's up above, just like, well, President Biden sure wants to get out of here by the 20th anniversary of 9-11, and we better do it.

00:48:46.720 And they also realized, because we're not even really talking about those 13 people who were killed anymore.

00:48:51.220 We're not talking about how many Americans we left behind.

00:48:53.500 And they knew that if, you know, we'll forget about it by the 20th anniversary of 9-11, we'll certainly forget about it by the midterms next year.

00:48:59.700 Well, I'll guarantee you this, the Great America Show will not be forgetting, Rob.

00:49:05.200 And I think there are a lot of people who are going to surprise many of our friends in Washington by not forgetting and insisting on people being held to account for what was an utter catastrophe.

00:49:20.940 It's, let's turn to, if we may, to Taiwan.

00:49:28.760 We just have heard the PLA and the CCP together threaten Australia that if they were to in any way defend Taiwan,

00:49:40.160 when the Chinese ultimately decide to invade Taiwan and end their independence, their sovereignty, that they will be attacked hard, as the Chinese communists put it.

00:49:52.880 Your thoughts about the level of our commitment and our level of capability to meet that commitment?

00:49:59.480 Our Navy is incredible.

00:50:01.680 And if given, we're designed to beat, obviously, naval forces, but our Marine Corps and our Army and Air Force are designed to beat large, we're designed to beat large armies.

00:50:11.880 If we had the commitment, which we've proven that we don't, we'd be fine, because all you need right now is to have a couple of amphib ships in Taiwan doing exercises,

00:50:21.480 just to have American boots on the ground to prove that we're willing to back them, which we don't have.

00:50:24.660 We just had that debacle with the submarine deal between France and Australia's trying to get subs, because it could be coming to them, because they're the closest.

00:50:33.380 And we simply have a president who says, oh, I didn't know.

00:50:36.760 It's like, okay, good.

00:50:37.380 The commander in chief didn't know about this debacle.

00:50:40.600 But then, I mean, in the worldview, you know, China is the biggest threat. 0.87

00:50:46.040 And you got to figure, so if they're after Australia, who's next?

00:50:51.040 That's Japan.

00:50:51.580 And there's a pretty rocky history between Japan and China.

00:50:56.940 And so you're talking about some pretty serious stuff.

00:50:58.600 And the way that we defeat this kind of stuff is strength through force.

00:51:03.620 It's deterrence, forward defense and alliance solidarity.

00:51:06.960 And we're just, we're giving all of that up for political gains of a few individuals and then because of political correctness.

00:51:14.860 They don't want to, we used to have to fill out a shooter statement for killing Al-Qaeda and make some Afghans write a statement for us and then sign it. 0.98

00:51:25.180 They couldn't even sign their own name.

00:51:27.360 They'd sign an X.

00:51:28.200 I doubt he wrote it.

00:51:29.820 But it's because of wokeness, political correctness.

00:51:32.300 We don't kill him too mean.

00:51:34.160 And that's, you know, we're turning inward.

00:51:35.660 We're really good at making rules that we force ourselves to follow.

00:51:38.240 And then we'll throw our own guys in jail for murder, which we've seen.

00:51:41.480 But we won't attack the, we attack the enemy with brute force in the first six months.

00:51:44.840 We're really good at that.

00:51:45.640 But then we don't know what to do with ourselves.

00:51:46.920 We don't know how to win, like we were saying earlier.

00:51:49.240 Yeah.

00:51:49.560 A perfect example is Afghanistan. 0.98

00:51:53.620 What was done by special forces and the CIA and the other intelligence agencies in Afghanistan in 2000, from 2001 to 2002 is a textbook for how to avoid the, what became the doctrine of the U.S. military, the so-called long war. 0.64

00:52:12.920 I have to ask you, David Petraeus, obviously the author of that, I have said so many years that I have never heard of anything so stupid in my life as the doctrine of long war.

00:52:27.020 Every general, everyone I've ever known has always said that the purpose is to kill the enemy and to do so as quickly as possible to achieve the objective. 0.93

00:52:37.500 And here we are with a doctrine that is really just rationalization of incompetence and pathetic leadership on the part of the U.S. military, in my opinion.

00:52:48.240 What is your opinion?

00:52:48.660 No, I agree, too.

00:52:49.940 And I'll give you an example of on the battlefield.

00:52:52.680 We were the guys that went through the front door to catch al-Qaeda on their heels.

00:52:57.460 And we had a technique.

00:52:58.760 They actually had to change us because it was too mean.

00:53:00.560 We used to call it battlefield interrogation, which means you get them there, you separate the guys.

00:53:05.240 And then it was very simple.

00:53:06.340 And I'm not beating them up or anything.

00:53:08.280 I'm separating them.

00:53:09.240 I'm asking them five very simple questions.

00:53:11.360 Who's the man of the house?

00:53:12.460 Who are the men in the house?

00:53:13.340 And what are their names?

00:53:14.480 Boom, boom, boom.

00:53:15.220 Ask all seven guys that.

00:53:16.500 You got two guys that tell you something different. 0.96

00:53:17.940 They're your liars.

00:53:18.740 And you catch them so scared, they're going to start to tell you where the rest of the bad guys are. 0.82

00:53:22.220 Okay, so that's an interrogation.

00:53:23.620 Boom, I caught you.

00:53:24.540 I beat you quickly.

00:53:25.500 You told me what I wanted to hear.

00:53:27.160 And then we go to follow on targets.

00:53:28.840 Now, those same guys, the longer we have them, they go to Guantanamo Bay.

00:53:33.300 Now, all of a sudden, they got U.S. attorneys and JAG officers defending them.

00:53:37.360 They get 23 hours a day outside in the sun playing soccer, realizing that we're going to win this fight because they're going to get us back to the jihad eventually. 0.90

00:53:46.420 But for now, I'll enjoy this Cuban sunshine because the longer you're involved, the more they see. 0.99

00:53:51.360 And the more they see, it's not just, I mean, Al-Qaeda and Taliban aren't the only ones who see how stupid we are. 0.98

00:53:58.460 Russia and China are watching, and they're doing everything they can behind the scenes to make sure that they just drag it. 0.95

00:54:03.540 We did it to them when they were fighting the Mujahideen in Afghanistan, and we're sending stuff to Pakistan, who, another play, that's an entirely different episode.

00:54:10.800 But the longer you're in there, the more they read you, and you're going to do worse, especially than you get a public, like we've proven in Vietnam.

00:54:17.880 All of a sudden, these college kids who don't know anything except what they've been taught by some dude in the classroom that's never done anything.

00:54:23.800 You know, the uprising of the streets and all this stuff, and we have no choice but to back.

00:54:26.820 It's just that you can tell, even by the way I'm talking right now, I can hear myself bogging my arguments down.

00:54:31.220 No, no, you're not bogging it down.

00:54:34.500 You're taking account of a 360-degree view of the battlefield.

00:54:38.980 The fact is, what you're describing, I think, is what nearly every American senses, even if we can't see it exactly clearly right now,

00:54:51.420 because there is so much fog, and much of that fog generated by our own leaders so that we don't recognize the reality this nation faces.

00:54:59.140 Rob, I can't express adequately my gratitude for you joining us here today.

00:55:04.800 Of course.
