The NXR Podcast - American Glory - The Post-War Consensus： How America Fell After 1945

00:00:01.000 America will either have Christ or will have chaos.

00:00:05.000 For years, conservatives believed that Trump could reverse America's decline.

00:00:10.000 But after Trump, the right is now fractured, exhausted, and losing ground.

00:00:16.000 Endless infighting and electoral losses have exposed a deeper problem that politics alone cannot solve.

00:00:25.000 A nation that rejects Christ cannot be restored by mere personalities, grandstanding, or Christless conservatism.

00:00:34.500 So NXR Studios' first annual conference, America After Trump, brings together pastors, politicians, commentators, and Christians that are committed to strength, cooperation, and a durable future for the American right.

00:00:51.580 But complaining is not a strategy, and despair cannot be an option.

00:00:57.500 Christ is King. Let's live like it.

00:01:16.100 Today on American Glory, I unpack the post-war consensus and how we went from a nationalistic,

00:01:21.960 patriarchal Christian America to a hellhole of diversity, tolerance, feminism, multiculturalism, 0.55

00:01:28.520 and individualism. In my weekly audit, I'll be discussing sinful black partiality in our 1.00

00:01:33.580 Western court system and white guilt that continues to be cultivated across mainstream media. 0.89

00:01:38.400 All that and more coming up right now.

00:01:46.100 Welcome to American Glory. We're going to be talking about American identity.

00:01:58.640 I'm your host, Dale Partridge. This is episode number four, titled The Post-War Consensus

00:02:04.580 and the Fall of America. Each season, I'll be covering an American theme with about eight

00:02:10.320 episodes. And in the last episode, I offered the seven marks of the pre-war consensus,

00:02:15.700 which functioned as part one of a two-part series. Now, my goal in this episode is to give you

00:02:23.860 a macro view of the sociopolitical landscape and how it shifted from the closed, strong societies

00:02:31.780 of the pre-war world to the open, weaker societies of the post-war era. Now, ultimately, I want you

00:02:38.320 to see how we went from a strong Christian nation to a weak secular nation in less than

00:02:46.320 60 years. And when you understand this kind of larger cultural pattern, it'll help you

00:02:52.320 not only see your place in history and the greater world, but also better understand

00:03:00.160 where things are headed. And let me say this, because of the rampant Gnosticism in the church

00:03:07.000 today. That's the belief that only the spiritual matters. American Christians have been almost

00:03:12.700 willfully ignorant of cultural and political realities. It's made us like unable to contend 1.00

00:03:19.260 or contribute and engage at the national level. And this is not true of Muslims. It's not true 0.99

00:03:27.180 of Hindus. What's so frustrating is that this kind of spiritual only way of thinking is foreign 1.00

00:03:35.700 to almost all of church history. In fact, in most of Christian history, the key political

00:03:41.980 players are Christian. And so my hope is, in this episode, is really to educate the church

00:03:47.780 on the macro-political and cultural landscape so that more Christian men can contribute

00:03:53.420 to the Christianization of America. So let's begin.

00:03:57.440 so how do we get here how did we get to race wars and israel wars and boomers against zoomers and

00:04:06.400 mass immigration and multiculturalism how do we get lady judges and foreign politicians how do we get

00:04:12.780 this adoption of dei and tolerance and individualism and atheism and globalism

00:04:18.460 what about the homosexual marriages the transgender people right what about legalized 0.98

00:04:24.120 sex trafficking through gay adoption and surrogate babies? Why are nationalists and 0.99

00:04:29.660 natural affections called racist? Why is patriarchy called misogyny? Why are you not

00:04:36.840 allowed to notice patterns in black crime or in Jewish political involvement? Why can't you speak 0.76

00:04:43.300 against the 19th Amendment without being called a bigot? And why are Christian white men portrayed 0.85

00:04:50.100 as essentially the ultimate enemy. The answers to all of these questions are connected to the

00:04:57.020 post-war consensus. Now, before some, you know, evangelist says to me, Dale, these are just sin

00:05:05.480 problems. That's why they're here. Stop making it more than it is. To them, I would say something

00:05:12.520 like this. Well, you're correct. It's at the very least a sin problem, but it's not merely

00:05:18.560 the organic result of sin. This is a unique, manufactured, cultural phenomenon never seen

00:05:26.340 in the history of the world. See, prior to 1950, we had thousands of years of the pre-war consensus.

00:05:33.140 It was still a sinful and fallen world, yet there was no mass feminism. There was no

00:05:38.960 mass homosexuality or transgenderism or globalism or mass immigration or interracial marriage 0.86

00:05:45.240 happening everywhere or pornification of society. There was no careful culture. Okay. What we are 0.91

00:05:50.180 dealing with in the last 70 years is historically unprecedented. Okay. Like I cannot look to any

00:05:57.880 previous generation for advice on these issues because none of them have ever existed on this

00:06:03.920 type of scale before. In other words, society has simply never had to address what we are dealing

00:06:11.980 with at mass. So the question again is what happened? How did we have such a catastrophic

00:06:18.720 shift in such a short amount of time? So let me, let me just get clear first. Okay. If I had to

00:06:26.360 summarize the central intent of the post-war consensus, it would be this, the erasure of

00:06:32.920 distinctions and hierarchies. Okay. So the deliberate removal of differences between races,

00:06:40.000 ethnicities, nations, genders, religions, right? It is the great flattening. The technical term,

00:06:46.400 as we all know, is egalitarianism. Now, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

00:06:51.200 defines egalitarianism as, quote, a school of thought in contemporary political philosophy

00:06:58.080 that treats equality as the chief value of just political system, of a just political system.

00:07:04.960 Simply put, egalitarians argue for equality. They have a presumption in favor of social

00:07:12.040 arrangements that advance equality, and they treat deviations from equality as suspect,

00:07:18.760 end quote. Okay, now here's why. As we will see, much of the PwC, the post-war consensus,

00:07:25.660 is driven by the feminization of society, okay? Women of both sexes hate conflict, okay? They

00:07:34.080 will do anything to avoid it. Eliminating distinction between, you know, sex and race

00:07:41.700 and nation and religion, all these things, eliminating distinctions is a way to remove

00:07:47.420 any possibility of comparison, competition, hierarchy, because distinctions imply difference

00:07:54.100 and difference inevitably leads to judgments of superiority and inferiority, which produces,

00:08:00.360 you guessed it, conflict. So for most of human history, okay, distinctions were seen as natural.

00:08:08.120 They were God-given and they were socially beneficial. They created order. They created

00:08:13.200 identity, accountability. They created a sense of cultural continuity. But again, how did we

00:08:19.600 lose this? Like how did distinctions go from good and necessary for thousands of years to problematic

00:08:28.720 and oppressive in just 70 years. Now, I believe there were five, five main drivers behind the

00:08:39.500 switch. I might only list four because I might, so there's four to five. But before we talk about

00:08:47.440 those drivers, I'm going to go with four. I'm going to go with four because I'm going to save

00:08:50.520 the fifth one for my next episode. I want to discuss four earlier foundations that were laid.

00:08:58.720 So this makes it simple, right?

00:09:00.440 So four foundations and then four drivers.

00:09:02.840 That's what we're going to talk about, right?

00:09:04.320 And so I want to discuss these earlier foundations that were laid.

00:09:07.660 And these are the groundwork that allowed the West to embrace the post-war mindset so rapidly

00:09:14.880 in the 1960s.

00:09:17.460 In other words, while the shift was rapid, there were prerequisite realities that primed

00:09:27.060 kind of the expediency of that shift. Warning, this product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an

00:09:33.300 addictive chemical. All right, guys, you know the drill. This is our favorite sponsor. Knick

00:11:01.260 So the first foundation began with the Civil War and the American Reconstruction. Now, as many of

00:11:08.880 you know, the Naturalization Act of 1790 limited citizenship to free white persons of good character.

00:11:16.880 But the 14th Amendment of 1868 overturned the criteria for birthright citizenship, where essentially all free people, including blacks and other races, could be considered American citizens if they were born on American soil.

00:11:34.780 Now, what did this do? Well, of course, this was the embryonic effort to erase racial distinctions

00:11:42.120 tied to a particular nation, especially as it pertains to American law. And it primed the

00:11:49.020 country to be a multi-ethnic nation. So up until that point, so you're talking, you know, since

00:11:55.200 1620 or so, you had a nation that was exclusively white. While there were blacks there, they were 0.92

00:12:02.240 not considered citizens. And so it also marked the beginning of eliminating racial differences 0.73

00:12:08.160 in American law. So this is planting the seed for future non-European immigration policies 0.80

00:12:15.300 and creating a legal foundation that later tempted illegal immigration, anchor babies,

00:12:23.320 all of the things that would come with that because essentially you could earn

00:12:26.060 automatic citizenship simply by being born on American soil. So that's the foundation number

00:12:33.260 one. The second foundation was the first wave feminism, which emerged in the late 1800s. 1.00

00:12:41.060 Now, so just as the Civil War and the 14th Amendment began erasing racial distinctions 0.98

00:12:46.920 in American law and the understanding of ethnicity in a nation, first wave feminism begins to 1.00

00:12:53.800 systematically erase sexual distinctions. And so when they were demanding involvement through 1.00

00:12:59.860 suffrage, women, the suffragettes successfully pressured the state to stop treating married

00:13:06.400 couples as a single legal unit under that historic doctrine, which we talked about called 0.52

00:13:11.940 coverture, where a woman essentially loses her legal identity in her husband. It's from the

00:13:17.160 biblical idea of two becoming one. And instead, the laws began viewing husbands and wives as

00:13:24.940 separate autonomous legal individual entities. Now, this legal shift was a critical step in

00:13:34.900 what? Well, in dismantling the biblical model of marriage and the family. And it directly fueled

00:13:40.520 the rise of radical individualism and self-expression that came to define the post-war

00:13:47.240 consensus many decades later. So feminism's war on sexual distinctions laid the groundwork

00:13:53.940 for the modern view that men and women are essentially interchangeable and that individual

00:14:00.980 rights trump covenantal responsibilities and structure. So that's point number two.

00:14:07.640 The third foundation is what I call American supremacy, American supremacy. Now, as America

00:14:16.640 became the world's leading superpower, we began to see it as our kind of noble responsibility

00:14:24.800 to think less like a nation and more like an empire. And what I mean by that is that the seeds

00:14:33.300 were planted for, you know, so let me just back up for a second. You got point number one, the

00:14:38.960 seeds are planted for eliminating racial distinctions in the 14th amendment, then the 1.00

00:14:43.400 sexual distinctions in the third wave feminism. And here we begin to lose our nationalistic

00:14:49.240 distinctions because we're thinking like an empire. Okay. So, so the empire, the way that

00:14:54.980 it's kind of flattening out is that we're not thinking like a sovereign nation. We're now

00:14:58.520 thinking bigger, like an empire that is less nationalistic. It's more multi-ethnic,

00:15:07.340 multinational. Okay, that's how we started to think. In the 1910s, Woodrow Wilson had something

00:15:14.240 what's called Wilsonianism, and this dramatically reshaped America's identity with his famous

00:15:19.640 call to, quote, make the world safe for democracy. And he had something what's called the 14 points

00:15:25.020 policy, where he casts America essentially as like a global political missionary. And we were

00:15:31.480 charged with essentially spreading self-determination, collective security, and open

00:15:36.760 trade across the world. Now, this is a really dangerous shift away from nationalism for two

00:15:41.920 reasons. So first, our founders built a constitutional republic, not a pure democracy.

00:15:48.460 Second, they warned against foreign entanglements. Don't get involved with foreign entanglements. 0.99

00:15:55.020 Yet again, Wilson turned us into an empire to police the world.

00:15:59.940 In fact, his emphasis on democracy became, you know, a Trojan horse that really pulled

00:16:05.000 us into World War I, and it laid the foundation for a variety of other things of global order,

00:16:09.400 including the Atlantic Charter and also the United Nations.

00:16:13.940 So what started as lofty rhetoric quietly transformed us from a self-governing republic

00:16:22.680 into the world's self-appointed social engineer for democracy. So this was kind of, again,

00:16:29.760 laying a foundation for globalism. So you, again, you have these foundations, the first three,

00:16:35.040 right? So you have the distinctions of eliminating racial distinctions, at least in the law.

00:16:39.480 And then you have the foundation of sexual distinctions. And then here you're now losing

00:16:44.560 some nationalistic distinctions. Everything's kind of blurring, right? It's kind of becoming,

00:16:48.800 and, you know, androgynous. And the last major foundation is Jewish involvement in American 0.75

00:16:55.360 politics, but more than politics, really also finance, culture, and media, which truly began 0.97

00:17:04.140 the elimination of our religious distinctions from the Jews and gave us birth to this kind 0.92

00:17:11.500 of hyphenated heresy of Judeo-Christianity. And so what many American Christians don't know 0.61

00:17:18.460 is that throughout Christian history, the Jews have been viewed as the enemy of Christians,

00:17:24.820 the enemy of Christ, right? Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, they all wrote about it

00:17:30.600 in the second and third centuries. Augustine, John Chrysostom wrote about it in the fourth

00:17:35.180 centuries. Chrysostom wrote, quote, the Jews sacrificed their children to Satan. They are

00:17:41.380 worse than wild beasts. The synagogue is a brothel, a den of scoundrels, the temple of demons devoted 1.00

00:17:47.960 to idolatrous cults, a criminal assembly of Jews, a place of meeting for the assassination of Christ, 0.99

00:17:55.940 a house of ill fame, a dwelling of iniquity, a gulf and abyss of perdition, end quote. 0.96

00:18:02.740 So, I mean, this is the historic posture, right? Several popes held similar positions.

00:18:09.500 Abogard of Leon, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, many of the Puritans. So our modern 0.88

00:18:17.220 connection of Jews and Christians is a historical theological phenomenon. At the peak of Henry

00:18:27.040 Ford's wealth and his influence, Henry Ford, by the way, he's a practicing Anglican. He began

00:18:34.180 speaking about what he believed was a disproportionate Jewish role in banking,

00:18:42.020 media, and politics. He actually wrote a book about it. I thought it was so fascinating. He

00:18:45.760 wrote a book called The International Jew. It was released in 1920. He argued that Jewish influence

00:18:51.780 was essentially reshaping America in ways that undermined the traditional Christian and national

00:18:56.700 values and identity that we had held. Now, this pattern became especially visible in the 1930s.

00:19:05.680 FDR's administration, I don't know if it was for the first time, but they started having several

00:19:10.320 prominent Jewish advisors who played major roles in designing the New Deal and expanding centralized 0.66

00:19:17.480 federal power, which made the federal government far stronger and the states much weaker. And it 0.73

00:19:23.120 continued to push us toward more of a pure democracy and not a republic. And at the same time,

00:19:29.480 we had dispensationalism, which was growing in American churches, which further primed the soil 0.85

00:19:35.020 for a political relationship with the Jews. Now, I'm sure that you know that Talmudic Judaism 0.60

00:19:42.860 is literally antichrist. I mean, it openly regarded, you know, it talks about in the 0.99

00:19:48.860 Talmud, Christ burning an extrament. It calls him the bastard child of a whore. There is a variety 1.00

00:19:55.460 of elements of Talmudic Judaism. It openly regarded Christian Western civilization as a

00:20:00.420 kind of Babylon or a spiritual enemy that must ultimately fall. Now, I will be clear, not every

00:20:08.600 individual Jew holds these views, but history testifies to a deep general Jewish involvement

00:20:15.840 in many of the dimensions of the post-war consensus that we're going to be talking about.

00:20:19.980 Right now, a lot of families are trying to eat healthier. I know that my family is trying to do

00:20:24.400 this as well. But when you look at the prices of truly grass-fed pasture-raised meat, it feels

00:20:31.120 impossible. That's why I want to tell you about our sponsor, Wild Pastures. Wild Pastures works

00:20:36.740 with over 100 American family farms to deliver 100% grass-fed beef, truly pasture-raised chicken

00:20:44.980 and pork, and wild-caught seafood directly to your front door. And unlike a lot of these big

00:20:51.040 meat delivery companies, their beef is raised right here in the good old U.S. of A. No imported

00:20:57.360 beef from overseas. Their animals are rotationally grazed, non-GMO, raised without antibiotics or

00:21:05.060 hormones. And the farms focus on regenerative agriculture that actually restores the land

00:21:12.060 instead of destroying it. And here's the best part. They've made this actually affordable. In

00:21:18.220 many cases, their products are 25 to 40% less than what you'd expect to pay for this kind of

00:21:25.240 quality. So if you want cleaner meat, better sourcing, and you want to support America's

00:21:30.520 farmers, then go and check out Wild Pastures. You can go to wildpastures.com forward slash NXR.

00:21:51.760 So by the 1930s and 40s, all four of these foundations, the erasure of racial, sexual,

00:22:00.060 national, and religious distinctions had fully primed the West for what would become the PwC.

00:22:07.480 Now, when you combine the victory of World War II against fascism, which again, an idea,

00:22:15.120 what is fascism, right? It's basically totally built on having strong distinctions of race,

00:22:21.080 sex, nation, and religion. But when you combine the victory in World War II, and you combine that

00:22:29.120 with the dominant Holocaust narrative, it like supercharged this kind of modern egalitarianism.

00:22:35.960 And suddenly, anything associated with distinctions became equated with Hitler or Nazism,

00:22:42.740 So what was the goal? The goal is stamping out every such distinction because that was framed

00:22:50.460 as a moral duty. It was kind of a solemn vow that the old world must never, ever happen again

00:22:56.100 because that would be, again, Hitler. And so this brings us back to the phenomenon of this great 0.98

00:23:03.380 shift. So even though these four foundations had been laid, the scale and the speed of the

00:23:10.980 transformation after 1945 were still historically unprecedented. So I want to look at them. I want

00:23:19.480 to look at these four drivers behind the shift and how America, despite winning the war, now feels

00:23:27.980 as though we lost and we lost our soul. We lost our identity. We are losing our nation. And so

00:23:33.980 we're going to look at four of these major drivers in this process of developing the post-war

00:23:42.360 consensus. Number one is collective guilt and the pathologization of the West. That's a long

00:23:50.440 word, right? All right. The devastation of two world wars and the horrors of the Holocaust

00:23:58.320 narrative, they did more than create backlash against fascism. It instilled a deep collective

00:24:06.540 sense of national guilt in the Western psyche. When you look and you zoom out, I mean, these

00:24:15.660 were essentially white wars. Now, the very existence of Western civilization was now 0.99

00:24:23.800 something to be ashamed of. What began as a war among white nations quickly mutated into kind of 0.87

00:24:33.060 a blanket condemnation of anything that made the West distinct. Its European ethnic roots,

00:24:40.540 its Christian heritage, its nationalistic pride, its history of conquest and colonization,

00:24:46.040 its confidence in its own objective superiority among other nations.

00:24:52.460 So post-war America became steeped in a profound sense of self-hatred after the war.

00:25:02.560 Now, instead of placing the blame where it belonged, maybe on poor leadership,

00:25:07.940 maybe on the overextension of nationalism into dictatorship,

00:25:12.080 um, more, uh, maybe a sinful degree of racial prejudice, uh, instead of pointing it towards

00:25:19.400 those things, the Western culture assigned guilt to the good things, nationalism, race,

00:25:26.500 and religion. Now this shift transformed, um, multiculturalism and inter-ethnic mixing and,

00:25:34.460 and religious pluralism and, you know, all of these kind of PWC things into a powerful

00:25:40.860 public virtue signaling of repentance and tolerance. I would say repentance from that

00:25:48.260 old world that caused those terrible wars. And look at us. We're so tolerant. We are repenting. 1.00

00:25:55.960 We are signaling that we are not that anymore. And so by embracing these ideals, these new ideals,

00:26:04.520 America and the West could demonstrate that they had rejected that old historical identity that

00:26:10.560 cause such great atrocities. Now here, here's the catch and this is it. Okay. It was all built

00:26:19.260 on the fantasy that peace could be achieved. If only distinctions no longer mattered,

00:26:26.300 that if we just erased borders, if we just blurred biology, if we just removed our eyes,

00:26:32.760 you know, through colorblindness, if we just diluted our convictions and flattened every

00:26:37.180 difference and distinction. Conflict would just disappear. But that is not reality. And we are

00:26:44.840 beginning to learn that again now. Okay. So that's the first driver. The second driver is

00:26:51.900 the rise of Marxist and cultural Marxist thought. Okay. Now, Marxism is the great equalizer. Okay.

00:27:04.180 the ideology of envy and destruction. It was the philosophy of a Jewish man named Karl Marx. 0.98

00:27:13.320 Now, in the 1960s, after classical Marxism had failed, a new form took root. Classical Marxism 0.56

00:27:21.600 divided the world into oppressor versus oppressed, and it did this along economic class lines.

00:27:30.560 But when the economic approach of Marxism didn't work, it collapsed, the Frankfurt School and other kind of neo-Marxist groups shifted the battlefield from economics to culture.

00:27:43.160 So race, gender, nation, religion became the new categories of oppression.

00:27:50.620 Okay, this aligned perfectly with the Western guilt that felt a constant need to kind of pay

00:27:57.620 these reparations for its own existence, for what had happened in World War I and World War II.

00:28:04.780 Okay, so the goal of Marxism was essentially, it's like gas on the fire. It was dismantling

00:28:12.580 the old order. Anything superior was viewed as a threat. And if you cannot raise the bottom,

00:28:19.820 you must tear down the top. And so instead of an objective meritocracy that honestly

00:28:27.120 acknowledges superior individuals, groups, distinctions, cultures, nations, we began

00:28:32.600 treating superiority as oppression. And these distinctions were reframed as essentially tools

00:28:40.260 of domination rather than natural God-ordained parts of creation. And so this ideology slowly

00:28:50.720 captured academia. It captured media and cultural institutions after 1945 and really into the 60s.

00:29:01.340 And it planted the seeds of tolerance, equality, diversity, inclusion, right? It gave us

00:29:08.840 participation trophies, the elimination of objective standards, the kind of weaponization

00:29:14.800 of guilt, right? And it really was the slow erosion of Western confidence. All of our previous

00:29:25.480 generations, pride and strength and honor and integrity, all of these things now were framed

00:29:32.660 as oppressive and we need to run from those things. We need to get away from those are the

00:29:36.740 things that led back to Hitler. We got to get away from that, that authority, you know, that's 0.96

00:29:41.860 not good. So the third driver, the third driver is the economic globalism and the demand for cheap

00:29:52.160 labor. And so since both world wars were fought across Europe and Japan and not here in the United

00:30:01.160 States, minus, you know, Pearl Harbor. The devastation of their lands destroyed their

00:30:06.160 manufacturing and all of their economies. Now, here in America, we emerged from the war and we

00:30:14.540 had essentially no trauma here on our lands. And we emerged essentially as the undisputed global

00:30:22.000 economic superpower. Now, here's a line I just want you to remember, right? This is very important.

00:30:29.180 Capitalism, when disconnected from Christianity, leads to corruption.

00:30:33.260 Okay, I'm going to say it again.

00:30:34.480 Capitalism, when disconnected from Christianity, leads to corruption.

00:30:39.920 Okay, and this is exactly what we see.

00:30:42.060 Under the emerging globalistic framework, American corporations saw themselves with

00:30:50.200 a massive opportunity, and capitalistically, they said, hey, let's open up these borders.

00:30:55.440 They saw cheap labor overseas, cheap manufacturing overseas, cheap imported labor and products from overseas. And so this economic pressure, heavily influenced by the passage of the 1965 Hart-Celler Act, which we're going to be talking about in the next episode.

00:31:13.280 Um, but we began essentially, um, seeing an opportunity to further this globalistic framework

00:31:24.460 through economic desires. And that was a huge driver on importing people. I mean,

00:31:33.020 you think about the H1B visas, you think about, uh, all of the stuff around labor, um, you know,

00:31:38.820 not made in America, made in Japan, made in China, all of that stuff came, and it started

00:31:43.980 making us think more internationally, more globalistically, more empire, and less nationally.

00:31:50.680 Okay, the fourth driver. The fourth driver is the triumph of radical individualism and consumerism.

00:32:01.360 And there's a really good book, The Age of Entitlement, that really talks about this.

00:32:06.760 But when you remove all of the distinctions, when you're drowning in now and guilt and shame from the Marxism, and then you fuel it with raw capitalistic greed detached from Christianity, the natural result is radical individualism.

00:32:28.060 Every person became an autonomous God. The old world's covenantal group mindset,

00:32:36.940 duty to church and family and nation, they're like butchered on the altar of self-expression.

00:32:44.500 And when the individual becomes king, any call to group identity becomes an enemy. 0.85

00:32:52.800 And this manifested heavily with the boomer generation. They are the most objectively 0.98

00:33:01.220 selfish generation in human history. They were raised by, well, yeah, there's some rationale

00:33:09.540 here. They were raised by checked out fathers, broken by war, so PTSD, feminist mothers who

00:33:16.300 left the home for work during their husband's time for war. And for the first time ever,

00:33:24.380 children were raised on the television. Now, it wasn't the TV or the TV shows that necessarily

00:33:33.600 destroyed them. It was the commercials that taught them that life revolves around me.

00:33:39.720 In other words, they were the first generation of children deliberately targeted by corporations for advertising.

00:33:49.280 And so this childhood entitlement that started post-war, it exploded in the 1960s.

00:33:57.640 And so you had this, again, entitlement mentality that was built up into these young people.

00:34:04.280 And then you have the sexual revolution, which quickly became essentially a marketplace

00:34:09.120 to quench sexual desires. Pornography was born. Birth rates collapsed. Children were now seen as

00:34:16.760 kind of a threat to personal freedom. We saw that the boomers had less children than the

00:34:21.960 generations before them. Even the church morphed into kind of a marketplace of programs and

00:34:28.520 entertainment and emotional pragmatic experiences. And so this kind of me first generation

00:34:35.560 acts somewhat like a tsunami that's like roaring through the 1960s and 70s and really pushing

00:34:44.680 through even the 2010s. And this group, if you just look through 1960 to 2020, what happened?

00:34:54.060 Well, we enshrined feminism, sexual anarchy, untethered capitalism, mass immigration. 0.92

00:35:01.220 And so, you know, blinded by this self-love, they never once, these boomers, never once 0.60

00:35:08.980 asked what kind of nation they were handing their children and grandchildren.

00:35:15.420 I mean, we see this with their bumper stickers, right?

00:35:17.760 Spending my children's inheritance.

00:35:20.040 Now, again, I get it.

00:35:21.000 Not every boomer is like that.

00:35:23.040 There are some great, excellent men and women in the boomer generation.

00:35:27.780 But the post-war consensus, the world we all grew up in was a violent pendulum swing against 0.72

00:35:37.940 the old order.

00:35:39.140 It was, again, driven by guilt over nationalism and Christianity.

00:35:43.720 It was shamed by Marxism.

00:35:45.660 It was fueled by godless capitalism, powered by the most selfish generation to ever walk 0.82

00:35:51.000 the earth.

00:35:51.380 It was essentially leaving us with a relentless sense of what? Confusion, right? We have no anchor

00:36:00.140 points, no identity, no heritage, no history, no patterns to follow from the old world. Like 0.97

00:36:08.800 everything has been stripped away. We are kind of like become this blob of androgyny and any 1.00

00:36:16.760 expression of group identity is racist. It's white supremacy. It's white nationalism. 0.95

00:36:25.080 It's like we've been struck with some sort of national amnesia. And getting out of this

00:36:32.680 is going to require a long process of retrieval and recovery. It's going to require us reading

00:36:41.280 books from before the 20th century. It'll be a time of remembering what the world operated like

00:36:49.180 outside of our modern tolerance, multicultural, multi-ethnic, diverse, you know, inclusion,

00:36:57.400 feministic, globalistic world. Okay. Modernity is not going to help us. So what do we do?

00:37:06.820 What do we do?

00:37:09.300 A few things.

00:37:10.820 Go read the scriptures.

00:37:12.000 You've got to go read the scriptures.

00:37:13.280 You've got to remember the old world.

00:37:15.380 You've got to try to not look at it through the lens of your modern PWC mindset.

00:37:22.300 It's all over us.

00:37:22.960 It's the water we swim in.

00:37:25.360 It's like a fish doesn't know it's wet.

00:37:26.760 We are covered in PWC.

00:37:30.420 And so we have to try to read the scriptures.

00:37:32.720 One of the great ways to do this is to read commentaries, pre-1900 commentaries, and see

00:37:40.240 what their interpretation was. That is a very helpful way to see how the men before us were

00:37:49.800 reading the scriptures. Then go read the classics. Go read that old world classic literature. Go read

00:37:57.000 the Puritans. Go read the Reformers. Go read Chesterton. Read Washington. Read Roosevelt. 0.99

00:38:03.840 Read the biographies of these men and read biographies that were written at least

00:38:08.540 in the 1900s or earlier, because even now we have revisionist history garbage

00:38:12.840 that's trying to erase the old world. Christopher Nolan trying to replace every white person with 0.96

00:38:21.240 a black person and the new Harry Potter trying to replace them with white people with black 0.94

00:38:26.980 I mean, it's just revisionist history, revisionist fiction. 1.00

00:38:29.640 It's constant.

00:38:30.740 It's everywhere. 0.90

00:38:32.300 And so we need to turn back to the old men, the dead people, to figure out where is the 0.95

00:38:42.540 way forward? 0.97

00:38:43.660 Where is the way forward?

00:38:44.720 We need their guidance.

00:38:46.440 And that is a desperate work of today's generation.

00:38:51.720 So recovery and retrieval, that is what we are doing.

00:38:55.120 All right, let's move on to the weekly audit. 0.99

00:39:05.320 So I want to talk about black partiality and this two-tiered justice system. 0.98

00:39:12.560 So I'm going to show you a quick video. 0.96

00:39:14.720 I've kind of clipped it up a little bit just to make it a little bit shorter.

00:39:17.740 We'll watch it together and I'll have some commentary after it.

00:39:20.840 Pulled up to their home and pointed weapons at the children and the other people at the party.

00:39:25.660 Here's what she said.

00:39:28.500 Judge William McLean noted before sentencing that given the nature of the language use,

00:39:34.820 heavy use of the N-word directed at the people and children at that birthday party,

00:39:39.760 he said that there was no doubt that this was a racially motivated crime.

00:39:44.360 And he also said driving around town in a convoy of pickup trucks with Confederate flags

00:39:50.720 and waving weapons was seen as a threat, not just to this family, but to the many people who ended

00:39:55.220 up calling 9-1-1 that day. He said that is why he felt like the defendants had to be held

00:39:59.960 accountable. There were other people who were charged in this case. They pled their serving

00:40:05.140 two to four years. We'll have much more on this. Yeah. So this is an old video that had recently

00:40:10.300 resurfaced across X. It's a Georgia couple. They flew Confederate flags. They're yelling racial

00:40:18.420 slurs, they're brandishing guns, and they made implied death threats or at least some sort of 0.97

00:40:24.040 threats toward a black family. And they were sentenced as committing a hate crime. Joe Torres 0.99

00:40:32.440 got 20 years. Kyla Norton got 15. Now, it was certainly foolish, evil, and wicked. They should

00:40:40.480 not have been doing that. But there was no assault. There was no contact. There was essentially just

00:40:46.440 mean words, threats, and brandishing. But when you contrast that to the sentencing

00:40:52.240 of other cases, not with mean words, but with actual assault and murder, you start to see the

00:41:01.660 problem. So there's a few other cases that I just think about. Jordan Hill, he's 18 years old.

00:41:07.740 Tesfaye Cooper, age 18, of Chicago, Brittany Covington, 18, Chicago, Tunisia Covington, 24,

00:41:16.700 of Chicago. They were each charged with aggravated kidnapping, hate crime, aggravated unlawful

00:41:24.260 restraint, battery, use of a deadly weapon. The incident involved a victim being tied up,

00:41:31.520 beaten, forced to drink water from a toilet while the attackers made derogatory comments on them

00:41:41.580 and they received four to eight years. Not 15, not 20, but four to eight. Just recently,

00:41:49.560 Roger Jackson recently cut a plea deal after being charged with attempted murder

00:41:55.180 against Sicko Stew. And again, he received two years. We recently saw Chud the Builder,

00:42:05.520 who was foolishly looking for trouble, but nevertheless found himself assaulted by a black 0.80

00:42:11.600 man and shot him in self-defense. His bond, Chud's bond was 1.25 million. But Carmelo Anthony, 0.88

00:42:22.780 the guy who stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf over a seat at a sports game,

00:42:31.600 he had his bail reduced to $250,000. Now, I could come up with literally hundreds,

00:42:39.440 if not thousands, of examples of black privilege in the American justice system over the last 10

00:42:45.920 years. America continues to apply the self-hatred of the West to our court system as a way to, 0.54

00:42:56.240 again, signal that they are, quote, not racist. So it's a big problem. We need to get rid of this

00:43:02.300 double standard and things need to be equal again. All right. The next story I want to talk about

00:43:08.500 is, again, really on this concept of white guilt, because these kind of flow together with the

00:43:14.720 post-war consensus. Now, you may have seen a couple of weeks ago, 60 Minutes, spun a pro-white 0.74

00:43:22.040 group that helps during disaster reliefs as negative and dangerous. Let's watch the video.

00:43:28.260 A surge of tornadoes tore across a large swath of the country in April,

00:43:33.980 carving a path of destruction. Over 200 tornadoes hit over 20 states,

00:43:39.740 closely clustered in the last couple of weeks.

00:43:42.820 Our story tonight is about what happens after these natural disasters.

00:43:47.820 A pattern has emerged in recent years

00:43:50.280 in which militias, conspiracists, and white supremacists

00:43:54.300 show up to hard-hit communities, as they did last week in Texas, offering help.

00:44:00.320 But they've been called disaster tourists

00:44:03.220 who are out to sow doubt in government,

00:44:06.280 soften their own image, and gain followers.

00:44:09.740 September 2024. Hurricane Helene barreled through North Carolina with forces so powerful it nearly

00:44:20.180 wiped the town of Batcave off the map, lifting homes and toppling trees. Imagine taking a box

00:44:29.480 of toothpicks and dumping them on your kitchen counter. Sheriff Lowell Griffin faced a daunting

00:44:36.140 rescue task. We had already experienced days of heavy rain, yes. Then another whammy.

00:44:46.580 Outsiders started pouring into North Carolina, including an influx of anti-government far-right

00:44:55.240 groups. The sheriff himself didn't see all the groups, but we know among those to show up

00:45:02.180 were members of white nationalist group Active Club.

00:45:06.260 Going through a disaster relief is directly helping our people. 0.52

00:45:10.440 You go in to help white people? 0.93

00:45:12.840 Yeah.

00:45:13.560 Robert Rundo co-founded Active Club in 2020

00:45:17.160 as a place for disgruntled young white men

00:45:20.560 to work out together while sharing their ideology.

00:45:24.960 With nearly 90 chapters, it's been described by watchdogs

00:45:28.860 as one of the country's fastest-growing white supremacist networks,

00:45:32.960 they also hold mixed martial arts tournaments.

00:45:37.680 We get together with the boys, we box, we travel.

00:45:40.420 Do you think of it as fun?

00:45:41.980 Of course. You know, there's fun in fascism.

00:45:44.740 Fun in fascism?

00:45:46.740 I'm a nationalist.

00:45:47.680 What does that mean?

00:45:48.940 A nationalist?

00:45:49.640 Yeah.

00:45:50.160 It means I put my people first.

00:45:52.160 Would you say white supremacist?

00:45:54.880 No, I think that's a slanderish term.

00:45:57.220 But my people are white people, European white people.

00:46:01.340 Right, and there's plenty of organizations that are geared towards other ethnic groups, right?

00:46:06.820 If we don't look out for ourselves, who is?

00:46:08.980 I know that your organization has gone to floods, fires, hurricanes.

00:46:15.200 What if you came upon someone who wasn't white but is suffering because of the flood?

00:46:20.360 Like, if there was, like, a guy on fire, would I give him water? Yeah, I'd probably give him water. 0.61

00:46:24.740 A surge of...

00:46:25.680 Yeah. So, uh, we know you have, um, Muslim towns being built in Texas. Uh, you have black lives

00:46:34.120 matter. You have the NAACP, you have the national urban league and hundreds of other, uh, black and

00:46:41.540 minority advocacy groups. Okay. But the moment white people organized to help their own people,

00:46:47.780 it's immediately branded as a threat. And so this is again, the, the blatant ethnic double 0.52

00:46:54.440 standards that are flourishing under the post-war consensus. And it shouldn't shock us that this

00:46:58.920 stuff's happening. I mean, this is the type of things that are branded as terrible. These are

00:47:05.860 the, oh my goodness, you can't go back to that old world. That old world means Nazism. It means 0.97

00:47:12.020 Hitler. But the reality is, is that for thousands of years, we had nationalism governing the way

00:47:19.780 the world worked. Nobody viewed race as being a bad thing. It was a positive good. Again, we talked

00:47:28.820 about this in previous episodes. To this day, Mexico is filled with who? Mexicans. Japan is

00:47:35.440 filled with who? The Japanese. Russia is filled with Russians. Africa is filled with Africans. 1.00

00:47:41.440 Nigeria is filled with Nigerians. It's only the West that we are not allowed to have any of these 1.00

00:47:48.300 distinctions. If we do, it is considered racist. It is considered Hitler. It is considered

00:47:52.680 Nazism. It's considered fascism. It's considered white nationalism, white supremacy, all of these

00:47:58.120 things. We are supposed to feel guilty and shameful for these. All of this stuff is wrapped

00:48:04.620 up in the post-war consensus. Probably the greatest book, we talked about it in the last

00:48:08.720 episode for you to read, is Return of the Strong Gods by R. R. Reno. It is a great book. And again,

00:48:15.300 the narrative is this, that we had the world operated a particular way for thousands of

00:48:22.800 years. And then we had this phenomenon of the pre-war consensus of this transition.

00:48:31.580 And then it transitioned in 1960 real hard to the post-war consensus. And so this huge shift,

00:48:38.800 it's an experiment. Again, I can't look back to my forefathers of previous generations

00:48:44.180 and go, what did they say about mass transgenderism and trannies reading my children 1.00

00:48:52.100 library books? Can I go back and read in the 1700s about interracial marriage? Can I go back 0.99

00:49:00.700 and figure out what they were doing about their mass immigration policy? No. You can't go back

00:49:08.040 and look for any of this. What about, oh, how do we deal with women pastors and feminism that's 1.00

00:49:12.360 happened everywhere. No, this stuff never existed for the history of the world. And here we are 1.00

00:49:19.420 dealing with it. And it's very unique. And R.R. Reno's book demonstrates that we are seeing the

00:49:25.660 return of the old world, which he calls strong gods, return of the strong gods. And just like

00:49:32.320 this young gentleman that was here in this video on 60 Minutes, the young men are organizing.

00:49:39.000 They are very much nationalistic. They are very conservative. They are very much patriarchal.

00:49:46.780 Now, the key is this. We need it to be Christian because nationalism without Christ can turn into

00:49:54.400 what caused World War I and World War II. We need Christian nationalism. We need biblical

00:50:01.520 patriarchy. We need Christian capitalism. We need the church to speak into these things because 1.00
