The John-Henry Westen Show - She Survived Communist CHINA, Sees it Happening Here

00:00:00.000 That's why I see it as, this is a cultural revolution, but you don't see it.

00:00:05.360 Most Americans have no idea.

00:00:09.760 Well, my friends, we are here with Xi Van Fleet, who just spoke at the Bringing America Back to Life conference.

00:00:16.220 And very interesting, she speaks from what she experienced in communist China.

00:00:21.440 And what's very interesting is that she says she recognizes that communism in America and Canada and many other places, yet most of us don't see it.

00:00:35.080 So we're going to find out what she's seeing and how to identify it ourselves.

00:00:39.160 Stay tuned.

00:00:39.920 Xi Van Fleet, welcome to the program.

00:00:41.660 God bless you.

00:00:42.180 Thank you for joining us.

00:00:43.080 Well, thank you so much for having me.

00:00:45.040 So tell us a little bit about your background, what you experienced growing up in China.

00:00:49.440 Well, I was born in 1959, as I mentioned, it's the beginning of the three-year famine that killed up to 50 million Chinese.

00:01:00.280 But my real memory started with the cultural revolution.

00:01:04.000 I was in my first grade when it started in 1966.

00:01:09.340 And the cultural revolution lasted for 10 years, and that's pretty much my entire school years.

00:01:15.240 After I graduated from high school, I was sent to the countryside, like millions and millions of Chinese urban youth to get our so-called re-education.

00:01:28.800 And only after Mao died, I was able to go to college.

00:01:34.080 And in 1986, I was able to come to America.

00:01:39.380 So I experienced this entire Chinese cultural revolution.

00:01:44.980 And so what I saw is happening here.

00:01:48.440 Sure.

00:01:48.760 So, and the turning point, of course, is 2020.

00:01:54.580 And so that, to me, it's the full-blowing Marxist cultural revolution that's taking place in America.

00:02:01.920 And the people in China were cheering.

00:02:06.560 And they said, oh, look at America. 0.99

00:02:09.220 They got their own cultural revolution.

00:02:11.660 They knew it.

00:02:12.440 I know it because we know history and we experience the cultural revolution.

00:02:19.160 Yet for most of Americans, they have no idea.

00:02:22.220 A lot of them, they were shocked.

00:02:24.000 A lot of people were totally shocked at what happened to our country.

00:02:27.980 But they have no idea this is Marxist cultural revolution.

00:02:33.340 This is the thing, whenever we hear of communism, we think, you know, it's a system of sort of sharing and saying that, you know, you don't own too much stuff.

00:02:44.440 But we didn't see it like that.

00:02:48.320 How do you identify this is communism, this is Marxism?

00:02:51.680 How do you see it?

00:02:53.160 It seems like most of us are blind.

00:02:55.120 We just don't know what we're looking for.

00:02:56.300 Yeah, because it's not being taught here.

00:02:58.980 It's not taught in school.

00:03:00.480 It's not talked about in media.

00:03:03.960 So people don't know.

00:03:05.260 Actually, people knew earlier generations, they heard about it.

00:03:09.460 They learned it in school, you know, and the people who experienced Cuban Missile Crisis remember that communism was just right there, right?

00:03:20.660 It's coming here any moment.

00:03:23.460 But after that, it's just wiped out from the memory.

00:03:28.940 And it's intentional.

00:03:32.320 It's really intentional.

00:03:33.900 So not only that, they don't know much about communism.

00:03:37.260 They were taught, just like you said, communism is all about sharing, just like Tim Watts, the vice president candidate.

00:03:46.420 Oh.

00:03:46.840 Yeah, Tim Watts.

00:03:47.760 Yeah.

00:03:48.020 He said it's about sharing.

00:03:49.600 So make sure everyone has the same.

00:03:51.880 Yeah.

00:03:52.000 Everyone never had the same.

00:03:54.020 And but that is the what I call this kind of a classic communism.

00:03:59.960 It's a class struggle.

00:04:02.100 Right.

00:04:02.300 It's class struggle.

00:04:03.260 It's the rich versus the poor.

00:04:06.400 And that brand of communism is still here.

00:04:10.600 And I would say it's typical representative is Bernie Sanders.

00:04:15.640 Well, at first it's 95 percent versus 5 percent.

00:04:19.180 Now he becomes that 99 percent versus 1 percent. 0.95

00:04:21.860 Right.

00:04:22.440 Yeah.

00:04:22.660 But what I'm talking about is not quite that.

00:04:26.380 It is cultural Marxism.

00:04:29.020 It is a new kind of a breed of Marxism.

00:04:34.340 And it's played on typical.

00:04:38.160 The hallmark is identity politics.

00:04:42.080 And so everyone get a label.

00:04:45.080 And that's what happened to hundreds of millions of Chinese in most China. 0.79

00:04:49.420 We all got a label and our label is based on our class.

00:04:54.520 And you either belong to this red class, which means you are the allies of the revolution, 0.88

00:05:01.680 or you belong to the black class, meaning you're the enemy of the of the state. 0.65

00:05:08.160 When everyone get a label and then you divide the people into two camps, what should what they do? 0.95

00:05:14.180 They fight each other.

00:05:15.640 They fight each other.

00:05:16.340 And that's what they wanted.

00:05:17.800 The Cultural Revolution is really about division, division of Chinese people into them and us. 0.68

00:05:26.740 And you don't have to do anything.

00:05:28.960 You don't have to say anything.

00:05:30.480 You can simply belong to a wrong group and they become the enemy of the class.

00:05:35.600 So during the Cultural Revolution, Mao said that the reactionary intellectual authority was our enemy.

00:05:48.380 So who are those people?

00:05:50.600 Well, for the young indoctrinated kids, it's the teachers, the principals, the professor.

00:05:57.360 And that's what they go after.

00:05:59.360 You don't have to, as I said, you don't have to do anything or say anything.

00:06:04.420 You belong to the wrong class and then you are the enemy.

00:06:07.180 The first killing took place in China during the Cultural Revolution was a bunch of schoolgirls, not boys.

00:06:16.080 The old school, all girls, middle school.

00:06:18.580 They took out their principal, gave a struggle session, denounced her, beat her up, tortured her, and then killed her.

00:06:28.640 And those schoolgirls, and they were just teenagers.

00:06:33.080 Why would they do this?

00:06:34.920 You say, are they monsters?

00:06:36.640 Well, yeah, they were turned into monsters because they were taught this principle belongs to the enemy class. 0.93

00:06:45.900 When you belong to the enemy, someone belongs to the enemy class, you need to eradicate them. 0.86

00:06:52.360 That they just overnight, with that kind of ideology, they turned young girls into killers.

00:06:59.980 And this is the same thing happening here.

00:07:03.120 Now, they divided Americans into oppressors and oppressed, which is a term that we use all our lives during the Cultural Revolution.

00:07:14.980 So who are the oppressed and who are the oppressors?

00:07:18.040 Well, they determine, right?

00:07:19.640 They determine, so if you're white, if you're male, if you're straight, if you're Christian, if you're middle class, whatever.

00:07:27.000 You are the enemy class. 0.73

00:07:28.640 And yet, and they call you the oppressor.

00:07:31.180 Yes, yes.

00:07:32.360 But even though they're the ones being oppressed.

00:07:36.020 Same thing in China.

00:07:37.400 They took their land, they took the properties of those people, labeled them oppressor.

00:07:42.080 And labeled them the oppressor and make their label hereditary.

00:07:48.100 So your properties were gone.

00:07:49.940 Your land were gone, but you become the oppressor forever.

00:07:54.000 And your children and children's children become oppressors.

00:07:57.720 That's why I see it as, this is a Cultural Revolution, but you don't see it.

00:08:02.940 Most Americans have no idea.

00:08:05.260 So political identity is their weapon.

00:08:08.540 And also, the other thing is that, who are the ones that we see them on the streets doing all these riots?

00:08:15.860 Young people, right? 0.82

00:08:16.760 Young people.

00:08:17.780 How could they mobilize those young people?

00:08:20.960 It's because they own the schools.

00:08:22.840 They control schools.

00:08:24.340 They control universities.

00:08:26.000 That's exactly what happened in China.

00:08:28.500 Those Red Guards?

00:08:31.160 Yes, they were indoctrinated kids.

00:08:33.460 They were so indoctrinated, they have no idea what's right, what's wrong.

00:08:38.680 They just answer the command.

00:08:42.620 Their command is from Chairman Mao.

00:08:44.880 They said, those people are bad people.

00:08:46.500 Go after them.

00:08:47.820 It's just that simple.

00:08:49.520 And so, cancel culture.

00:08:51.580 What did they do during the Cultural Revolution?

00:08:55.200 They cancel everything.

00:08:56.600 Everything that's old is called the four olds.

00:09:00.160 Old ideas, old culture, old habits, and old custom.

00:09:04.780 Sure.

00:09:05.500 So, that is basically Chinese civilization. 1.00

00:09:10.520 They all need to be destroyed. 0.99

00:09:12.040 Statues put down.

00:09:13.700 Names of institutions, streets, roads have to be changed to become revolutionary.

00:09:19.940 And even personal names.

00:09:22.440 And a lot of young kids changed their personal name to be revolutionary.

00:09:29.460 And so, books burned.

00:09:31.800 The only book we have, when the Cultural Revolution started, the school was closed.

00:09:36.580 Because teachers were austered.

00:09:38.940 The principals were austered by the kids.

00:09:43.160 So, no school for two years by the time we came back to school.

00:09:47.380 And I was in fourth grade.

00:09:49.940 And we have one textbook.

00:09:52.180 That's Mao's Little Red Book.

00:09:53.720 Have you heard about it?

00:09:55.340 Yeah, that's it.

00:09:56.480 We read it from beginning to the end, and back and forth, and back and forth, until a year later.

00:10:01.980 New textbook came out.

00:10:04.060 And then it's just a little red book emassed in Chinese, in English.

00:10:10.980 It's just nothing but indoctrination.

00:10:15.400 And then we're experiencing the same thing here.

00:10:19.160 History rewritten.

00:10:20.680 One of the popular history teaching material in America today is what?

00:10:26.260 1690.

00:10:26.940 Which rewrote the history that the American is founded on slavery.

00:10:36.860 So they rewrote it.

00:10:38.740 And then that's exactly what happened in China. 0.97

00:10:41.740 Chinese civilization is all bad. 1.00

00:10:43.480 All has to be canceled, destroyed. 0.98

00:10:45.360 And then there's only one correct ideology.

00:10:49.740 That's Marxism.

00:10:50.740 That's Maoism.

00:10:52.140 What happens when you saw, like, the young people here, they were indoctrinated in schools.

00:10:58.220 But one of the things we saw the most with this trans ideology, and how is that used in a communist way?

00:11:06.200 I call it cultural revolution.

00:11:10.060 I did not call it a cultural movement.

00:11:12.720 It's a revolution.

00:11:14.020 They're going to destroy everything.

00:11:15.680 They're going to destroy social order.

00:11:17.580 They're going to destroy norms.

00:11:20.760 And that's what happened in China.

00:11:22.300 Even though there's no such thing as transgenderism, because there's no need. 1.00

00:11:29.680 Mao did exactly what he wanted without having to go as to transgenderism, but he destroyed gender norm. 0.75

00:11:38.300 He told young people that there's no difference between men and women.

00:11:45.440 Whatever men can do, women can do better. 1.00

00:11:48.660 Have you heard about this, women can hold half the sky? 1.00

00:11:53.100 And Biden quoted that in his speech without knowing that it's from Mao.

00:11:59.620 So, yeah, before we had superwoman, in China we had iron girls. 1.00

00:12:07.640 Yeah.

00:12:08.600 The girls were just encouraged to think, act, dress like men. 0.94

00:12:14.880 And so, if you look at the pictures in the 60s and 70s, it's just a sea of the sameness.

00:12:23.020 And there's just a little distinction between male and female, because that's what we're taught.

00:12:29.520 Haircut, everything.

00:12:31.460 Haircut, yeah, there's a little bit.

00:12:33.180 But the same dress code.

00:12:35.540 It's all a sea of gray.

00:12:37.180 But it's more than that.

00:12:39.560 It's just what the young girls were led to believe, that there's no difference.

00:12:46.000 So, that's their way of destroying gender roles. 1.00

00:12:51.340 And so, Mao wrote a poem and said, the Chinese women don't like makeup. 1.00

00:12:56.860 They like to carry weapons.

00:13:00.360 Yeah.

00:13:00.560 They treated us and said, the femininity is toxic. 1.00

00:13:05.360 Femininity is weak. 1.00

00:13:07.140 He wanted revolutionaries. 1.00

00:13:09.880 He did not want weak, feminine women. 1.00

00:13:15.940 To me, he did exactly the same thing here, only that he did not have to go that far to destroy gender roles.

00:13:25.700 Because anything normal, anything that is traditional, he hates.

00:13:32.560 And he has to destroy them all.

00:14:07.580 What else did you see in America that you would have said, oh, that's so obviously a Marxist revolution, a cultural revolution?

00:14:16.020 To me, you have to see what they want to destroy.

00:14:20.080 And I explained what they want.

00:14:22.760 They want to destroy anything normal, anything that's traditional, anything that means dear to people.

00:14:32.640 Yeah.

00:14:33.200 They want to get rid of it.

00:14:34.540 Right.

00:14:34.740 But why?

00:14:35.500 That's, I think, a question.

00:14:36.780 Why are they doing it?

00:14:38.140 Why did Mao do all this?

00:14:40.820 Mao launched the cultural revolution because he was, he felt that he was losing power.

00:14:47.480 Because of his disastrous policies, such as the Great Leap Forward that ended up in the famine that killed up to 50 million Chinese.

00:14:59.140 He want his power back.

00:15:01.280 And how?

00:15:01.960 Well, he could have done with the army, but that looked like a coup, right?

00:15:06.700 He used the young people. 1.00

00:15:08.320 So cultural revolution is a power struggle of Mao, the war on his own party, the war on his own government, because he felt like he was no longer in control.

00:15:22.740 And he was willing to go as far as using the young people and take down the power from his political enemy and in the process destroyed the entire country.

00:15:33.700 That is how far a dictator were willing to go for political reasons.

00:15:41.020 And I say the same thing here.

00:15:43.100 The same thing is here.

00:15:44.800 What they are doing is for power.

00:15:47.840 In order to, for them to get power, they are willing to get, to divide American people, to get the young people and to have riot, to have chaos.

00:15:59.400 And in the process, they hope they can get power.

00:16:03.940 All that stuff we were seeing about the BLM riots, of them bringing down statues and all of that, that's all a piece.

00:16:14.260 That's all one sort of program, if you will.

00:16:16.360 That's exactly to me.

00:16:18.040 There's no difference.

00:16:20.040 And so when you don't know the history, you think it's something new, but it's not.

00:16:26.080 It's really not.

00:16:26.880 Actually, the American Cultural Revolution did not start in 2020.

00:16:32.080 It started in the 60s and the 70s.

00:16:35.580 It started at the same time that Mao was having his own cultural revolution.

00:16:41.740 But here it's called counterculture.

00:16:45.000 That, to me, is the phase one of the woke revolution.

00:16:49.300 And they did a lot of damage.

00:16:53.040 If you remember, you know, those days, they really attacked church.

00:17:00.000 The feminists tried to attack the family, tried to attack marriage. 1.00

00:17:06.380 That is their cultural revolution.

00:17:08.700 But back then, I would say that they haven't been able to reach the critical mass.

00:17:18.800 And eventually, after the Vietnam War ended, they kind of died down.

00:17:25.600 But they didn't, really didn't.

00:17:27.320 So those activists, they did not give up.

00:17:32.340 They went to work.

00:17:34.520 They become tenured professors.

00:17:36.320 They used the next few decades to produce new Marxists.

00:17:46.100 And then, what do we see today?

00:17:48.160 That's what we see.

00:17:49.440 They are in our institutions.

00:17:51.960 And they are on the streets.

00:17:53.660 And now, they are about to overthrow our foundation.

00:18:00.980 Because to them, America is not worth saving. 0.98

00:18:06.300 America is so racist. 0.94

00:18:09.200 And it needs to be condemned. 1.00

00:18:11.340 It needs to be destroyed. 0.91

00:18:13.180 And it brings something new. 0.93

00:18:16.340 What is that?

00:18:17.600 That's Marxism.

00:18:18.940 So, one of the interesting things that happened in the 60s

00:18:22.080 was abortion.

00:18:24.520 But it got brought on as, it's all about women's rights. 0.51

00:18:28.080 This is not about, you know, killing children or anything.

00:18:31.180 You had a similar thing going on in China.

00:18:33.580 I have a friend, Stephen Mosher,

00:18:35.020 who was the first one to bring to America

00:18:37.140 the knowledge about the Chinese forced abortion.

00:18:40.840 In America, we would look to China and think,

00:18:43.720 oh, it's horrible, it's forcing abortion. 1.00

00:18:45.540 But here, we have a free choice.

00:18:47.300 And it's all wonderful.

00:18:48.460 Tell us what you see in that.

00:18:49.500 I know.

00:18:50.180 This is very interesting.

00:18:51.400 That's how I looked at it.

00:18:54.000 I did not, I hate the forced abortion.

00:18:57.120 So, when I came here,

00:18:58.360 and then I saw the Americans,

00:19:00.100 they demonstrated what their rights.

00:19:03.980 I said, maybe it's okay,

00:19:05.260 because they are looking,

00:19:07.000 they are defending their rights.

00:19:10.320 So, for the longest time,

00:19:11.620 I was like, yeah, it's not forced,

00:19:14.100 so it's not bad.

00:19:15.040 But now we know it's bad because they share the same root.

00:19:21.600 The root is they, both communism and the progressivism,

00:19:28.060 they have one thing they share in common.

00:19:30.720 They hate God.

00:19:32.760 Both of them.

00:19:33.780 Because they hate God and they don't respect life.

00:19:42.140 So, in China, it is, just like I explained,

00:19:47.820 they regard human life as resources to be exploited,

00:19:54.240 to be discarded.

00:19:55.080 It all depends on the party's interest

00:19:59.680 or what the states need, right?

00:20:02.940 But in America, they are more cunning.

00:20:06.740 They are very, very deceptive.

00:20:09.460 They package it in such a way that,

00:20:13.540 and they convince the young women they want it.

00:20:18.000 That's their rights.

00:20:21.020 So, I always say that it is much easier

00:20:24.580 to deal with Chinese who never, never experienced freedom. 1.00

00:20:31.480 They never had rights.

00:20:32.900 They always live under some kind of

00:20:35.600 totalitarian or authoritarian rules.

00:20:40.240 They just don't, never learned, experienced freedom.

00:20:46.320 But to deal with people here

00:20:49.580 and who understand such a thing as freedom

00:20:53.700 and understand such a thing as their rights,

00:20:57.180 you have to be more deceptive.

00:20:58.940 And so, I would say Marxists in America,

00:21:02.340 they are much, much more deceptive

00:21:07.000 than Mao needed to be.

00:21:09.860 For U.S. residents, creating Will has never been easier.

00:21:38.240 Thank you for your support,

00:21:39.760 and may God bless you.

00:21:42.160 Mao did it for power,

00:21:45.040 yet, and it's the same for America,

00:21:48.360 you know, the elite leadership,

00:21:50.660 they understand this is being done for power,

00:21:52.560 but all of the minions, if you will,

00:21:56.720 all the people who work under them,

00:21:58.640 who give their lives to promoting

00:22:00.380 this kind of cultural revolution,

00:22:03.080 they don't get the power,

00:22:04.300 but why are they doing it?

00:22:05.620 What's motivating it?

00:22:06.520 I know, I know.

00:22:07.380 This is something I give a lot of thoughts to.

00:22:10.540 And basically, your question is,

00:22:13.140 who are attracted to the Marxist ideology, right?

00:22:18.220 Who are attracted to communism?

00:22:20.700 And I think there's quite a few different motivations.

00:22:25.880 One of them is, I call it Bernie Sanders followers.

00:22:30.060 They just want stuff.

00:22:31.720 They want the free stuff.

00:22:33.020 They want the government to take care of them, right?

00:22:35.680 And there's another group.

00:22:37.860 They are a real problem.

00:22:40.980 And then in China, we had the same kind of a group

00:22:43.660 that supported communism and helped them to gain power.

00:22:48.020 Those are the educated elites.

00:22:52.040 And those people, you think they don't want power, they do.

00:22:56.320 They feel like they know better, right?

00:22:59.880 They feel like they have this duty

00:23:03.380 to help the uninitiated mass.

00:23:08.040 They don't know.

00:23:09.360 We are going to help them.

00:23:10.560 We're going to tell them this is the better way to live.

00:23:16.360 And they also have the need to make themselves feel better

00:23:21.600 and that they somehow is helping the oppressed,

00:23:27.560 the marginalized, the poor or whatever.

00:23:33.760 I think those are the ones that we're dealing with

00:23:36.340 is that they push this.

00:23:39.660 And they have, well, a lot of them do have the power

00:23:45.640 because they are in position of power.

00:23:47.580 They feel like they are doing something good.

00:23:49.660 And a lot of Christians are doing the same thing.

00:23:52.120 They feel like they are being true Christians. 0.74

00:23:56.400 And so how?

00:23:58.240 Then you respect, you have compassion to people, right?

00:24:03.180 The people say they identify as women,

00:24:07.140 even though they are men.

00:24:08.380 Being a Christian, you want to be good.

00:24:10.220 You want to be compassionate.

00:24:12.360 You want to be kind.

00:24:13.500 You want to be loving.

00:24:14.940 So you say, yes.

00:24:17.940 And so I think those are the motivations of people.

00:24:21.640 Why there are so many people just wanted to do that.

00:24:24.440 And then another thing, I think, is this concept of guilt.

00:24:31.560 So many people were sold to this idea that they are just guilty.

00:24:38.280 They are guilty of being white. 0.97

00:24:40.840 They are guilty of being wealthy. 0.98

00:24:44.700 So they have to redeem themselves.

00:24:50.880 By jump on the woke wagon.

00:24:56.700 By saying yes to people who are men, 0.95

00:25:01.180 but saying, yes, you are women. 1.00

00:25:02.880 And just what they really do is that they want to be good so bad

00:25:09.520 that they would rather not be truthful

00:25:13.740 because they want to be good.

00:25:15.320 Shi, have you ever thought that perhaps this whole phenomenon,

00:25:23.700 particularly for that group you're talking about,

00:25:26.100 the ones who carry this forward almost like apostles,

00:25:29.980 they're like totally into it.

00:25:33.020 It's just for them, it's an actual religion.

00:25:35.740 It is a religion.

00:25:37.180 Right.

00:25:37.520 So you said earlier that they hate God.

00:25:39.220 They left the true God.

00:25:40.780 And they have this new religion that they carry forward.

00:25:45.260 It's interesting you say about guilt

00:25:46.660 because it is true that apart from your belief in God,

00:25:50.860 you have this conscience inside you,

00:25:52.960 which is sort of like the voice of God,

00:25:54.340 but so hidden and you don't understand it.

00:25:55.840 But it doesn't make you feel guilty

00:25:57.060 for all the sins you commit, the real sins, you know.

00:26:01.080 But you can sort of make that guilt sort of go away

00:26:04.880 if you give it to some other reason.

00:26:07.320 Yeah.

00:26:07.420 Right.

00:26:07.980 So do you find resonance with that?

00:26:09.580 Yeah, I think a lot of, there's a word for it.

00:26:12.820 It's called bai zuo.

00:26:14.400 Have you ever heard about it?

00:26:16.180 No.

00:26:16.400 It's the Chinese calling those white liberals. 0.93

00:26:21.360 It's called bai means white, zuo means left. 0.91

00:26:26.500 So it's the white liberals. 0.99

00:26:28.180 So yeah, so they are the real problem. 0.99

00:26:33.020 They absolutely believe in this religion.

00:26:35.380 And so still some people think that the communism

00:26:39.300 is an economic theory or ideology.

00:26:43.260 It's not.

00:26:43.620 It's a religion.

00:26:44.760 It's an absolute religion.

00:26:46.440 They don't believe in family.

00:26:48.240 They don't believe in God.

00:26:52.280 So it's written in the communist manifesto.

00:26:56.360 They don't believe in ownership, private ownership,

00:27:00.220 but they don't believe in family.

00:27:02.740 They want to destroy family.

00:27:04.540 So it is a religion, absolutely a religion.

00:27:07.560 And that's why you see those people

00:27:09.780 are just so passionate, right?

00:27:11.960 Passionate about it.

00:27:13.360 And because they are disciples of woke religion.

00:27:17.600 Who is the God in that religion?

00:27:22.440 The state.

00:27:23.860 The state.

00:27:25.380 Yes.

00:27:26.140 It's those in power.

00:27:29.700 And they determine what it is.

00:27:32.780 And then they don't say, oh, I want you to worship state.

00:27:36.840 They say, we do this for the good of people.

00:27:42.620 That's why cultural Marxism is so deceptive.

00:27:48.100 They say, we're doing that for the poor, the marginalized,

00:27:55.220 the oppressed.

00:28:00.560 But what they really want is power.

00:28:02.400 What do you think is a way out, especially for America that, well,

00:28:10.140 this is old America from eight weeks ago.

00:28:13.660 But what do you think is the way out?

00:28:16.740 I think we have a fighting chance.

00:28:20.240 And I think, I do believe that Donald Trump is the first president

00:28:29.180 who not only understands communism, like Ronald Reagan.

00:28:35.460 He brought down Soviet Union. 0.93

00:28:38.260 But Trump was the one to realize the communism threat in our country.

00:28:44.220 And then one of his, the first thing he did is abolish DEI.

00:28:50.300 He realized DEI is really communist.

00:28:56.160 And so I think now we have a fighting chance.

00:28:59.720 But we won a battle, a very, very important battle.

00:29:05.260 But we haven't won the war yet.

00:29:07.660 And so that's why I think we all have so much work to do.

00:29:11.140 We have to save our church, save our school, save our institutions,

00:29:16.060 so that we can start changing people's worldview.

00:29:21.780 Our worldview today has been really colored by Marxism.

00:29:28.340 We have to go back to the biblical worldview.

00:29:32.940 I think that's a challenge, but we have to do it.

00:29:35.800 In order to save America, we have to do it.

00:29:38.940 Any hopes for China?

00:29:41.860 People ask me that.

00:29:43.300 I'm not concerned about China right now.

00:29:44.880 I want to save America.

00:29:46.980 I think once we, America is saved, we have the opportunity to save China 1.00

00:29:54.260 and to save other countries under communism.

00:29:58.820 But I think now my number one focus is here.

00:30:05.520 It's here.

00:30:07.120 One last question for you.

00:30:08.660 I'm from Canada.

00:30:09.740 What do you think of Canada in Calvinism and the cultural revolution?

00:30:13.460 Yeah, Canada is falling, falling.

00:30:16.540 I think so is Australia and New Zealand and the UK and the whole West.

00:30:22.500 I think that is one of the challenges we are facing.

00:30:26.760 We are the last stand to save the West.
