The NXR Podcast

00:00:00.000 America will either have Christ or will have chaos.

00:00:05.620 For years, conservatives believed that Trump could reverse America's decline.

00:00:10.440 But after Trump, the right is now fractured, exhausted, and losing ground.

00:00:16.520 Endless infighting and electoral losses have exposed a deeper problem that politics alone cannot solve.

00:00:24.680 A nation that rejects Christ cannot be restored by mere personalities, grandstanding, or Christless

00:00:33.380 conservatism. So NXR Studio's first annual conference, America After Trump, brings together

00:00:41.180 pastors, politicians, commentators, and Christians that are committed to strength, cooperation,

00:00:48.100 and a durable future for the American right.

00:00:52.080 Complaining is not a strategy

00:00:53.960 and despair cannot be an option.

00:00:57.480 Christ is King.

00:01:16.380 Today on American Grit,

00:01:17.480 I unpack the post-war consensus and how we went from a nationalistic, patriarchal Christian 0.63

00:01:23.160 America to a hellhole of diversity, tolerance, feminism, multiculturalism, and individualism. 0.99

00:01:29.760 In my weekly audit, I'll be discussing sinful black partiality in our Western court system 0.91

00:01:34.220 and white guilt that continues to be cultivated across mainstream media. 0.89

00:01:38.540 All that and more coming up right now.

00:01:47.480 Welcome to American Grit. We're going to be talking about American identity.

00:01:58.440 I'm your host, Dale Partridge. This is episode number four, titled The Post-War Consensus and

00:02:04.940 the Fall of America. Each season, I'll be covering an American theme with about eight

00:02:10.100 episodes. And in the last episode, I offered the seven marks of the pre-war consensus, which

00:02:15.800 functioned as part of kind of a one part or a part one of a two-part series. Now, my goal in

00:02:21.740 this episode is to give you a macro view of the sociopolitical landscape and how it shifted from

00:02:29.120 the closed, strong societies of the pre-war world to the open, weaker societies of the post-war era.

00:02:36.640 Now, ultimately, I want you to see how we went from a strong Christian nation to a weak, 0.62

00:02:43.860 secular nation in less than 60 years. And when you understand this kind of larger cultural pattern,

00:02:50.840 it'll help you not only see your place in history and the greater world, but also

00:02:58.020 better understand where things are headed. And let me say this, because of the rampant

00:03:05.400 Gnosticism in the church today, that's the belief that only the spiritual matters. American

00:03:11.020 Christians have been almost willfully ignorant of cultural and political realities. It's made us 1.00

00:03:17.440 unable to contend or contribute and engage at the national level. And this is not true of Muslims. 1.00

00:03:26.400 It's not true of Hindus. What's so frustrating is that this kind of spiritual-only way of thinking

00:03:34.460 is foreign to almost all of church history. In fact, in most of Christian history, the key

00:03:41.460 political players are Christian. And so my hope is in this episode is really to educate the church

00:03:47.560 on the macro political and cultural landscape so that more Christian men can contribute

00:03:53.200 to the Christianization of America. So let's begin.

00:03:57.240 so how do we get here how did we get to race wars and israel wars and boomers against zoomers and

00:04:06.180 mass immigration and multiculturalism how do we get lady judges and foreign politicians how do

00:04:12.240 we get this adoption of dei and tolerance and individualism and atheism and globalism

00:04:18.260 what about the homosexual marriages the transgender people right what about legalized 0.99

00:04:23.920 sex trafficking through gay adoption and surrogate babies? Why are nationalists and natural 0.99

00:04:29.860 affections called racist? Why is patriarchy called misogyny? Why are you not allowed to

00:04:37.660 notice patterns in black crime or in Jewish political involvement? Why can't you speak 0.76

00:04:43.080 against the 19th Amendment without being called a bigot? And why are Christian white men portrayed 0.85

00:04:49.880 as essentially the ultimate enemy. The answers to all of these questions are connected to the

00:04:56.800 post-war consensus. Now, before some, you know, evangelist says to me, Dale, these are just sin

00:05:05.280 problems. That's why they're here. Stop making it more than it is. To them, I would say something

00:05:12.300 like this. Well, you're correct. It's at the very least a sin problem, but it's not merely

00:05:18.340 the organic result of sin. This is a unique, manufactured, cultural phenomenon never seen

00:05:26.120 in the history of the world. See, prior to 1950, we had thousands of years of the pre-war consensus.

00:05:32.980 It was still a sinful and fallen world, yet there was no mass feminism. There was no

00:05:38.740 mass homosexuality or transgenderism or globalism or mass immigration or interracial marriage 0.86

00:05:45.020 happening everywhere or pornification of society. There was no careful culture. Okay. What we are 0.91

00:05:49.980 dealing with in the last 70 years is historically unprecedented. Okay. Like I cannot look to any

00:05:57.660 previous generation for advice on these issues because none of them have ever existed on this

00:06:03.700 type of scale before. In other words, society has simply never had to address what we are dealing

00:06:11.780 with at mass. So the question again is what happened? How did we have such a catastrophic

00:06:18.520 shift in such a short amount of time? So let me, let me just get clear first. Okay. If I had to

00:06:26.140 summarize the central intent of the post-war consensus, it would be this, the erasure of

00:06:32.700 distinctions and hierarchies. Okay. So the deliberate removal of differences between races,

00:06:39.360 ethnicities, nations, genders, religions, right? It is the great flattening. The technical term,

00:06:46.480 as we all know, is egalitarianism. Now, the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

00:06:50.980 defines egalitarianism as, quote, a school of thought in contemporary political philosophy

00:06:57.860 that treats equality as the chief value of just political system, of a just political system.

00:07:04.760 Simply put, egalitarians argue for equality. They have a presumption in favor of social

00:07:11.820 arrangements that advance equality, and they treat deviations from equality as suspect,

00:07:18.540 end quote. Okay, now here's why. As we will see, much of the PwC, the post-war consensus,

00:07:25.440 is driven by the feminization of society. Okay, women of both sexes hate conflict. 0.91

00:07:33.220 They will do anything to avoid it. Eliminating distinction between sex and race and nation and religion, all these things. Eliminating distinctions is a way to remove any possibility of comparison, competition, hierarchy, because distinctions imply difference. 0.99

00:07:53.880 Indifference inevitably leads to judgments of superiority and inferiority, which produces,

00:08:00.440 you guessed it, conflict. So for most of human history, okay, distinctions were seen as natural.

00:08:07.900 They were God-given and they were socially beneficial. They created order. They created

00:08:12.980 identity, accountability. They created a sense of cultural continuity. But again, how did we

00:08:19.380 lose this? How did distinctions go from good and necessary for thousands of years to problematic

00:08:28.500 and oppressive in just 70 years? Now, I believe there were five, five main drivers behind the

00:08:39.300 switch. I might only list four because I might, so there's four to five. But before we talk about

00:08:47.220 those drivers. I'm going to go with four. I'm going to go with four because I'm going to save

00:08:50.300 the fifth one for my next episode. I want to discuss four earlier foundations that were laid.

00:08:58.440 So this makes it simple, right? So four foundations and then four drivers. That's

00:09:02.820 what we're going to talk about, right? And so I want to discuss these earlier foundations that

00:09:07.080 were laid. And these are the groundwork that allowed the West to embrace the post-war mindset

00:09:13.800 so rapidly in the 1960s. In other words, while the shift was rapid, there were prerequisite

00:09:24.700 realities that primed kind of the expediency of that shift. Warning, this product contains

00:11:00.440 So the first foundation began with the Civil War and the American Reconstruction. Now, as many of you know, the Naturalization Act of 1790 limited citizenship to free white persons of good character.

00:11:16.660 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.

00:11:34.560 Now, what did this do? Well, of course, this was the embryonic effort to erase racial distinctions

00:11:41.900 tied to a particular nation, especially as it pertains to American law. And it primed the

00:11:48.800 country to be a multi-ethnic nation. So up until that point, so you're talking, you know, since

00:11:54.980 1620 or so, you had a nation that was exclusively white. While there were blacks there, they were 0.92

00:12:02.020 not considered citizens. And so it also marked the beginning of eliminating racial differences 0.73

00:12:07.940 in American law. So this is planting the seed for future non-European immigration policies 0.80

00:12:15.080 and creating a legal foundation that later tempted illegal immigration, anchor babies,

00:12:23.100 all of the things that would come with that because essentially you could earn

00:12:25.840 automatic citizenship simply by being born on American soil. So that's the foundation number

00:12:33.040 one. The second foundation was the first wave feminism, which emerged in the late 1800s. 1.00

00:12:40.840 Now, so just as the Civil War and the 14th Amendment began erasing racial distinctions 0.98

00:12:46.700 in American law and the understanding of ethnicity in a nation, first wave feminism begins to 1.00

00:12:53.580 systematically erase sexual distinctions. And so when they were demanding involvement through 1.00

00:12:59.640 suffrage, women, the suffragettes successfully pressured the state to stop treating married

00:13:06.200 couples as a single legal unit under that historic doctrine, which we talked about called 0.52

00:13:11.720 coverture, where a woman essentially loses her legal identity in her husband. It's from the

00:13:16.940 biblical idea of two becoming one. And instead, the laws began viewing husbands and wives as

00:13:24.720 separate autonomous legal individual entities. Now, this legal shift was a critical step in

00:13:34.700 what? Well, in dismantling the biblical model of marriage and the family. And it directly fueled

00:13:40.320 the rise of radical individualism and self-expression that came to define the post-war

00:13:47.020 consensus many decades later. So feminism's war on sexual distinctions laid the groundwork

00:13:53.720 for the modern view that men and women are essentially interchangeable and that individual

00:14:00.760 rights trump covenantal responsibilities and structure. So that's point number two.

00:14:07.420 The third foundation is what I call American supremacy, American supremacy. Now, as America

00:14:16.420 became the world's leading superpower, we began to see it as our kind of noble responsibility

00:14:24.540 to think less like a nation and more like an empire. And what I mean by that is that the seeds

00:14:33.100 were planted for, you know, so let me just back up for a second. You got point number one, the

00:14:38.760 seeds are planted for eliminating racial distinctions in the 14th amendment, then the 1.00

00:14:43.200 sexual distinctions in the third wave feminism. And here we begin to lose our nationalistic

00:14:49.020 distinctions because we're thinking like an empire. Okay. So, so the empire, the way that

00:14:54.780 it's kind of flattening out is that we're not thinking like a sovereign nation. We're now

00:14:58.320 thinking bigger, like an empire that is less nationalistic. It's more multi-ethnic, multinational.

00:15:08.060 Okay, that's how we started to think. In the 1910s, Woodrow Wilson had something what's called

00:15:14.400 Wilsonianism, and this dramatically reshaped America's identity with his famous call to,

00:15:20.940 quote, make the world safe for democracy. And he had something what's called the 14 points policy,

00:15:25.240 where he casts America essentially as like a global political missionary. And we were charged

00:15:31.700 with essentially spreading self-determination, collective security, and open trade across the

00:15:37.240 world. Now, this was a really dangerous shift away from nationalism for two reasons. So first,

00:15:43.360 our founders built a constitutional republic, not a peer democracy. Second, they warned against

00:15:50.740 foreign entanglements. Don't get involved with foreign entanglements. Yet again, Wilson turned 1.00

00:15:56.740 us into an empire to police the world. In fact, his emphasis on democracy became a Trojan horse

00:16:04.100 that really pulled us into World War I, and it laid the foundation for a variety of other things

00:16:08.440 of global order, including the Atlantic Charter and also the United Nations. So what started as

00:16:15.960 this lofty rhetoric quietly transformed us from a self-governing republic into the world's

00:16:24.860 self-appointed social engineer for democracy. So this was kind of, again, laying a foundation for

00:16:30.860 globalism. So again, you have these foundations, the first three, right? So you have the distinctions

00:16:35.800 of eliminating racial distinctions, at least in the law. And then you have the foundation of

00:16:41.460 sexual distinctions. And then here, you're now losing some nationalistic distinctions. Everything's

00:16:46.240 kind of blurring, right? It's kind of becoming androgynous. And the last major foundation 0.86

00:16:52.160 is Jewish involvement in American politics, but more than politics, really also finance, 0.79

00:17:00.500 culture, and media, which truly began the elimination of our religious distinctions 0.65

00:17:06.640 from the Jews and gave us birth to this kind of hyphenated heresy of Judeo-Christianity. 0.73

00:17:15.220 And so what many American Christians don't know is that throughout Christian history,

00:17:20.620 the Jews have been viewed as the enemy of Christians, the enemy of Christ, right?

00:17:25.940 Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Tertullian, they all wrote about it in the second and third centuries.

00:17:31.880 Augustine, John Chrysostom wrote about it in the fourth centuries.

00:17:36.060 Chrysostom wrote, quote, the Jews sacrificed their children to Satan. 0.99

00:17:40.740 They are worse than wild beasts. 1.00

00:17:42.580 The synagogue is a brothel, a den of scoundrels, the temple of demons devoted to idolatrous 1.00

00:17:49.080 cults, a criminal assembly of Jews, a place of meeting for the assassination of Christ, 0.99

00:17:55.720 a house of ill fame, a dwelling of iniquity, a gulf and abyss of perdition, end quote. 0.98

00:18:01.660 So, I mean, this is the historic posture, right? Several popes held similar positions.

00:18:09.260 Abogard of Lyon, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, many of the Puritans.

00:18:16.080 So our modern connection of Jews and Christians is a historical theological phenomenon.

00:18:23.240 Okay, at the peak of Henry Ford's wealth and his influence. Henry Ford, by the way,

00:18:30.820 He's a practicing Anglican, right? And he began speaking about what he believed was

00:18:36.900 a disproportionate Jewish role in banking, media, and politics. He actually wrote a book about it.

00:18:44.520 I thought it was so fascinating. He wrote a book called The International Jew. It was released in

00:18:48.380 1920. He argued that Jewish influence was essentially reshaping America in ways that

00:18:54.620 undermined the traditional Christian and national values and identity that we had held. 0.79

00:18:59.340 Now, this pattern became especially visible in the 1930s. FDR's administration, I don't know if

00:19:08.000 it was for the first time, but they started having several prominent Jewish advisors who played major

00:19:12.520 roles in designing the New Deal and expanding centralized federal power, which made the federal 0.61

00:19:18.960 government far stronger and the states much weaker. And it continued to push us toward more

00:19:25.000 of a pure democracy and not a republic. And at the same time, we had dispensationalism,

00:19:30.840 which was growing in American churches, which further primed the soil for a political relationship 0.85

00:19:36.640 with the Jews. Now, I'm sure that you know that Talmudic Judaism is literally antichrist. I mean, 0.99

00:19:45.000 it openly regarded, you know, it talks about in the Talmud, Christ burning an extrament. 1.00

00:19:51.280 It calls him the bastard child of a whore. 0.99

00:19:54.200 There is a variety of elements of Talmudic Judaism. 1.00

00:19:56.900 It openly regarded Christian Western civilization as a kind of Babylon or a spiritual enemy

00:20:02.820 that must ultimately fall.

00:20:05.420 Now, I will be clear, not every individual Jew holds these views, but history testifies

00:20:12.600 to a deep general Jewish involvement in many of the dimensions of the post-war consensus

00:20:18.420 that we're going to be talking about.

00:20:19.560 Right now, a lot of families are trying to eat healthier. I know that my family is trying to do this as well. But when you look at the prices of truly grass-fed, pasture-raised meat, it feels impossible.

00:20:31.700 That's why I want to tell you about our sponsor, Wild Pastures.

00:20:35.340 Wild Pastures works with over 100 American family farms to deliver 100% grass-fed beef,

00:20:43.080 truly pasture-raised chicken and pork, and wild-caught seafood directly to your front door.

00:20:49.160 And unlike a lot of these big meat delivery companies, their beef is raised right here in the good old U.S. of A.

00:20:56.020 No imported beef from overseas.

00:20:58.460 Their animals are rotationally grazed, non-GMO, raised without antibiotics or hormones.

00:21:06.020 And the farms focus on regenerative agriculture that actually restores the land instead of destroying it.

00:21:13.580 And here's the best part.

00:21:15.380 They've made this actually affordable.

00:21:17.900 In many cases, their products are 25 to 40% less than what you'd expect to pay for this kind of quality.

00:21:25.440 So, if you want cleaner meat, better sourcing, and you want to support America's farmers, then go and check out Wild Pastures.

00:21:33.400 You can go to wildpastures.com forward slash NXR.

00:21:51.060 So by the 1930s and 40s, all four of these foundations, the erasure of racial, sexual, national, and religious distinctions, had fully primed the West for what would become the PwC.

00:22:07.340 Now, when you combine the victory of World War II against fascism, you know, which again,

00:22:14.560 an idea, what is fascism, right?

00:22:16.140 It's basically totally built on having strong distinctions of race, sex, nation, and religion.

00:22:22.720 But when you combine the victory in World War II and you combine that with the dominant

00:22:29.800 Holocaust narrative, it like supercharged this kind of modern egalitarianism.

00:22:35.420 And suddenly, anything associated with distinctions became equated with Hitler or Nazism, right? So

00:22:43.260 what was the goal, right? The goal is stamping out every such distinction because that was framed

00:22:50.240 as a moral duty. It was kind of a solemn vow that the old world must never, ever happen again

00:22:55.880 because that would be, again, Hitler. And so this brings us back to the phenomenon of this great 0.98

00:23:03.160 shift. So even though these four foundations had been laid, the scale and the speed of the

00:23:10.760 transformation after 1945 were still historically unprecedented. So I want to look at them. I want

00:23:19.260 to look at these four drivers behind the shift and how America, despite winning the war, now feels

00:23:27.760 as though we lost. And we lost our soul. We lost our identity. We are losing our nation.

00:23:33.500 And so we're going to look at four of these major drivers in this process of developing the post-war

00:23:42.140 consensus. Number one is collective guilt and the pathologization of the West. That's a long word,

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

00:23:58.600 they did more than create backlash against fascism. It instilled a deep collective sense

00:24:07.120 of national guilt in the Western psyche. When you look and you zoom out, I mean,

00:24:15.180 these were essentially white wars. Now, the very existence of Western civilization was now 0.99

00:24:23.580 something to be ashamed of. What began as a war among white nations quickly mutated into kind of 0.87

00:24:32.860 a blanket condemnation of anything that made the West distinct. Its European ethnic roots,

00:24:39.880 its Christian heritage, its nationalistic pride, its history of conquest and colonization,

00:24:46.460 its confidence in its own objective superiority among other nations.

00:24:52.240 So post-war America became steeped in a profound sense of self-hatred after the war.

00:25:02.360 Now, instead of placing the blame where it belonged, maybe on poor leadership,

00:25:06.960 maybe on the overextension of nationalism into dictatorship, maybe a sinful degree of racial

00:25:16.320 prejudice. Instead of pointing it towards those things, the Western culture assigned guilt to

00:25:24.040 the good things, nationalism, race, and religion. Now, this shift transformed multiculturalism and

00:25:32.780 inter-ethnic mixing and religious pluralism and all of these kind of PWC things into a powerful

00:25:40.640 public virtue signaling of repentance and tolerance. I would say repentance from that

00:25:48.040 old world that caused those terrible wars. And look at us. We're so tolerant. We are repenting. 1.00

00:25:55.640 We are signaling that we are not that anymore. And so by embracing these ideals, these new ideals,

00:26:04.240 America and the West could demonstrate that they had rejected that old historical identity that

00:26:10.340 caused such great atrocities. Now here, here's the catch. And this is it. Okay. It was all built 0.54

00:26:19.060 on the fantasy that peace could be achieved if only distinctions no longer mattered.

00:26:26.520 That if we just erased borders, if we just blurred biology, if we just removed our eyes

00:26:32.540 through colorblindness, if we just diluted our convictions and flattened every difference

00:26:37.600 and distinction, conflict would just disappear. But that is not reality. And we are beginning

00:26:44.940 to learn that again now. Okay. So that's, that's the first driver. The second driver is the rise

00:26:53.100 of Marxist and cultural Marxist thought. Okay. Now, Marxism is the great equalizer. Okay. It's

00:27:04.120 the ideology of envy and destruction. It was the philosophy of a Jewish man named Karl Marx. 1.00

00:27:12.440 Now, in the 1960s, after classical Marxism had failed, a new form took root. Classical Marxism 0.56

00:27:21.380 divided the world into oppressor versus oppressed, and it did this along economic class lines.

00:27:30.700 But when the economic approach of Marxism didn't work, it collapsed, the Frankfurt School and other

00:27:37.460 kind of neo-Marxist groups shifted the battlefield from economics to culture. So race, gender,

00:27:45.320 nation, religion became the new categories of oppression. Okay. This aligned perfectly with

00:27:53.440 the Western guilt that felt a constant need to kind of pay these reparations for its own existence,

00:28:00.080 for what had happened in World War I and World War II. Okay. So the goal of Marxism

00:28:06.500 was essentially, it's like gas on the fire. It was dismantling the old order. Anything superior

00:28:15.040 was viewed as a threat. And if you cannot raise the bottom, you must tear down the top.

00:28:21.440 And so instead of an objective meritocracy that honestly acknowledges superior individuals,

00:28:29.420 groups, distinctions, cultures, nations, we began treating superiority as oppression.

00:28:35.620 And these distinctions were reframed as essentially tools of domination rather than

00:28:43.240 natural God-ordained parts of creation. And so this ideology slowly captured academia.

00:28:52.880 It captured media and cultural institutions after 1945 and really into the 60s.

00:29:00.220 and it planted the seeds of tolerance, equality, diversity, inclusion, right? It gave us

00:29:08.640 participation trophies, the elimination of objective standards, the kind of weaponization

00:29:14.580 of guilt, right? And it really was the slow erosion of Western confidence. All of our previous

00:29:25.260 generations' pride and strength and honor and integrity, all of these things now were framed

00:29:32.440 as oppressive. And we need to run from those things. We need to get away. Those are the things

00:29:36.800 that led back to Hitler. We got to get away from that authority. That's not good. So the third

00:29:43.760 driver. The third driver is the economic globalism and the demand for cheap labor. And so

00:29:53.480 since both world wars were fought across Europe and Japan, and not here in the United States,

00:30:02.060 minus Pearl Harbor, the devastation of their lands destroyed their manufacturing

00:30:06.560 and all of their economies. Now, here in America, we emerged from the war and we had essentially

00:30:15.400 no trauma here on our lands. And we emerged essentially as the undisputed global economic

00:30:22.280 superpower. Now, here's a line I just want you to remember, right? This is very important.

00:30:28.980 Capitalism, when disconnected from Christianity, leads to corruption. Okay, I'm going to say it

00:30:33.680 again. Capitalism, when disconnected from Christianity, leads to corruption. And this

00:30:40.340 is exactly what we see. Under the emerging globalistic framework, American corporations

00:30:48.220 saw themselves with a massive opportunity. And capitalistically, they said, hey, let's open up

00:30:54.700 these borders. They saw cheap labor overseas, cheap manufacturing overseas, cheap imported labor

00:31:02.200 and products from overseas. And so this economic pressure, heavily influenced by

00:31:07.680 the passage of the 1965 Heart Seller Act, which we're going to be talking about in the next

00:31:12.580 episode. But we began essentially seeing an opportunity to further this globalistic framework

00:31:24.240 through economic desires. And that was a huge driver on importing people. I mean,

00:31:32.820 you think about the H-1B visas, you think about all of the stuff around labor,

00:31:37.680 you know, not made in America, made in Japan, made in China, all of that stuff came and it

00:31:43.500 started making us think more internationally, more globalistically, more empire and less

00:31:48.960 nationally. Okay. The fourth driver. The fourth driver is the triumph of radical individualism

00:31:58.040 and consumerism. And there's a really good book, The Age of Entitlement, that really talks about

00:32:06.180 this. But when you remove all of the distinctions, when you're drowning in now and guilt and shame

00:32:16.960 from the Marxism, and then you fuel it with raw capitalistic greed, detached from Christianity.

00:32:24.100 The natural result is radical individualism. Every person became an autonomous god.

00:32:32.580 The old world's covenantal group mindset, you know, duty to church and family and nation,

00:32:38.980 they're like butchered on the altar of self-expression. And when the individual becomes

00:32:48.160 king, any call to group identity becomes an enemy. And this manifested heavily with the

00:32:56.120 boomer generation. They are the most objectively selfish generation in human history. They were 1.00

00:33:04.100 raised by, well, yeah, there's some rationale here. They were raised by checked out fathers

00:33:11.480 broken by war, so PTSD, feminist mothers who left the home for work during their husband's time for

00:33:20.700 war. And for the first time ever, children were raised on the television. Now, it wasn't the TV

00:33:30.240 or the TV shows that necessarily destroyed them. It was the commercials that taught them that life

00:33:37.680 revolves around me. In other words, they were the first generation of children deliberately targeted

00:33:45.480 by corporations for advertising. And so this childhood entitlement that started, you know,

00:33:52.580 post-war, it exploded in the 1960s. And so you had this, again, entitlement mentality. It was

00:34:00.960 built up into these young people. And then you have the sexual revolution, which quickly became

00:34:07.880 essentially a marketplace to quench sexual desires. Pornography was born. Birth rates collapsed.

00:34:15.220 Children were now seen as kind of a threat to personal freedom. We saw that the boomers had 1.00

00:34:21.020 less children in the generations before them. Even the church morphed into kind of a marketplace

00:34:26.480 of programs and entertainment and emotional pragmatic experiences. And so this kind of

00:34:33.820 me first generation acts somewhat like a tsunami that's like roaring through the 1960s and 70s and

00:34:43.460 really pushing through even the 2010s. And this group, if you just look through 1960 to 2020,

00:34:52.020 what happened? Well, we enshrined feminism, sexual anarchy, untethered capitalism, 0.98

00:34:59.280 mass immigration. And so, you know, blinded by this self-love, they never once, these boomers, 0.91

00:35:07.620 never once asked what kind of nation they were handing their children and grandchildren.

00:35:15.220 I mean, we see this with their bumper stickers, right? Spending my children's inheritance.

00:35:19.840 Now, again, I get it. Not every boomer is like that. There are some great, excellent men and

00:35:25.720 women in the boomer generation. But the post-war consensus, the world we all grew up in

00:35:33.300 was a violent pendulum swing against the old order. It was, again, driven by guilt over

00:35:41.560 nationalism and Christianity. It was shamed by Marxism. It was fueled by godless capitalism,

00:35:47.700 powered by the most selfish generation to ever walk the earth. It was essentially leaving us

00:35:54.940 with a relentless sense of what? Confusion, right? We have no anchor points, no identity,

00:36:01.580 no heritage, no history, no patterns to follow from the old world. Everything has been stripped 0.58

00:36:10.360 away. We are kind of become this blob of androgyny, and any expression of group identity

00:36:18.500 is racist. It's white supremacy. It's white nationalism. It's like we've been struck 0.91

00:36:27.380 with some sort of national amnesia and getting out of this is going to require a long process

00:36:36.060 of retrieval and recovery. It's going to require us reading books from before the 20th century.

00:36:44.520 It'll be a time of remembering what the world operated like outside of our modern

00:36:50.900 tolerance, multicultural, multi-ethnic, diverse, you know, inclusion, feministic,

00:36:58.840 globalistic world. Okay. Modernity is not going to help us. So what do we do? What do we do?

00:37:08.960 A few things. Go read the scriptures. You got to go read the scriptures. You got to remember the

00:37:13.840 old world. You got to start, you got to try to not look at it through the lens of your modern

00:37:20.740 modern PWC mindset. It's all over us. It's the water we swim in. It's like a fish doesn't know

00:37:26.160 it's wet. We are covered in PWC. And so we have to try to read the scriptures. And one of the

00:37:33.460 great ways to do this is to read commentaries, pre-1900 commentaries, and see what their

00:37:40.380 interpretation was. That is a very helpful way to see how the men before us were reading the

00:37:50.040 scriptures. Then go read the classics. Go read that old world classic literature. Go read the

00:37:56.940 Puritans. Go read the Reformers. Go read Chesterton. Read Washington. Read Roosevelt. 0.99

00:38:03.620 Read the biographies of these men and read biographies that were written at least in the

00:38:09.080 1900s or earlier, because even now we have revisionist history garbage that's trying to 0.53

00:38:14.360 erase the old world, you know, Christopher Nolan trying to add every, replace every white person 0.97

00:38:20.860 with a black person. And, you know, the new Harry Potter trying to replace them with white people 0.96

00:38:26.480 with black. I mean, it's just revisionist history, revisionist fiction. It's, it's constant. 1.00

00:38:30.220 It's everywhere. And so we need to turn back to the old men, the dead people to figure out 0.99

00:38:40.780 But where is the way forward? Where's the way forward? We need their guidance. And that is a desperate work of today's generation. So recovery and retrieval, that is what we are doing. All right, let's move on to the weekly audit. 0.84

00:38:58.460 so i want to talk about black partiality and this two-tiered justice system so i'm going to show you

00:39:13.060 a quick video i've kind of clipped it up a little bit just to make a little bit shorter we'll watch

00:39:17.960 it together and i'll have some commentary after it pulled up to their home and pointed weapons

00:39:22.880 at the children and the other people at the party here's what she said

00:39:26.220 Judge William McLean noted before sentencing that given the nature of the language use,

00:39:34.600 heavy use of the N-word directed at the people and children at that birthday party,

00:39:39.540 he said that there was no doubt that this was a racially motivated crime.

00:39:44.560 And he also said driving around town in a convoy of pickup trucks with Confederate flags

00:39:50.500 and waving weapons was seen as a threat not just to this family, 0.80

00:39:53.880 but to the many people who ended up calling 911 that day, he said that is why he felt like

00:39:58.020 the defendants had to be held accountable. There were other people who were charged in this case.

00:40:03.440 They pled their serving two to four years. We'll have much more on this.

00:40:07.640 Yeah. So this is an old video that had recently resurfaced across X.

00:40:12.580 It's a Georgia couple. They flew Confederate flags. They're yelling racial slurs. They're

00:40:19.140 brandishing guns and they made implied death threats or at least some sort of threats toward 0.98

00:40:24.700 a black family. And they were sentenced as committing a hate crime. Joe Torres got 20 years.

00:40:34.360 Kyla Norton got 15. Now it was certainly foolish, evil, and wicked. They should not have been doing 0.99

00:40:40.780 that. But there was no assault. There was no contact. There was essentially just mean words,

00:40:46.940 threats and brandishing. But when you contrast that to the sentencing of other cases, not with

00:40:55.020 mean words, but with actual assault and murder, you start to see the problem. So there's a few

00:41:02.560 other cases that I just think about. Jordan Hill, he's 18 years old. Tesfaye Cooper, age 18 of

00:41:09.920 Chicago, Brittany Covington, 18, Chicago, Tunisia Covington, 24 of Chicago. They were each charged

00:41:18.840 with aggravated kidnapping, hate crime, aggravated unlawful restraint, battery, use of a deadly

00:41:26.680 weapon. The incident involved a victim being tied up, beaten, forced to drink water from a toilet

00:41:35.960 while the attackers made derogatory comments on them

00:41:41.360 and they received four to eight years.

00:41:44.780 Not 15, not 20, but four to eight.

00:41:48.340 Just recently, Roger Jackson recently cut a plea deal

00:41:52.500 after being charged with attempted murder

00:41:54.980 against Sicko Stew.

00:41:58.620 And again, he received two years.

00:42:02.000 We recently saw Chud the Builder, 1.00

00:42:05.300 who was foolishly looking for trouble, 1.00

00:42:08.680 but nevertheless found himself assaulted by a black man 0.99

00:42:11.700 and shot him in self-defense.

00:42:15.880 His bond, Chud's bond was 1.25 million.

00:42:20.900 But Carmelo Anthony,

00:42:22.600 the guy who stabbed and killed Austin Metcalf

00:42:27.640 over a seat at a sports game,

00:42:31.400 he had his bail reduced to $250,000.

00:42:34.240 dollars. Now, I could come up with literally hundreds, if not thousands of examples of black

00:42:42.760 privilege in the American justice system over the last 10 years. America continues to apply 0.99

00:42:50.840 the self-hatred of the West to our court system as a way to, again, signal that they are, quote,

00:42:57.540 not racist. So it's a big problem. We need to get rid of this double standard and things need to be

00:43:04.860 equal again. All right. The next story I want to talk about is again, really on this concept of

00:43:12.240 white guilt, because these kind of flow together with the post-war consensus. Now you may have

00:43:16.740 seen a couple of weeks ago, 60 Minutes spun a pro-white group that helps during disaster reliefs

00:43:25.140 as negative and dangerous. Let's watch the video.

00:43:28.560 A surge of tornadoes tore across a large swath of the country in April,

00:43:33.800 carving a path of destruction. Over 200 tornadoes hit over 20 states,

00:43:40.020 closely clustered in the last couple of weeks. Our story tonight is about what happens after

00:43:45.480 these natural disasters. A pattern has emerged in recent years in which militias, conspiracists,

00:43:52.600 and white supremacists show up to hard-hit communities, as they did last week in Texas,

00:43:58.880 offering help. But they've been called disaster tourists who are out to sow doubt in government,

00:44:06.080 soften their own image, and gain followers. September 2024. Hurricane Helene barreled

00:44:15.660 through North Carolina with forces so powerful it nearly wiped the town of Batcave off the

00:44:22.500 map, lifting homes and toppling trees.

00:44:26.760 Imagine taking in a box of toothpicks and dumping them on your kitchen counter.

00:44:33.500 Sheriff Lowell Griffin faced a daunting rescue task.

00:44:37.240 We had already experienced days of heavy rain, yes.

00:44:43.780 Then another whammy.

00:44:46.400 Outsiders started pouring into North Carolina.

00:44:49.560 So we got a lot of work to get done.

00:44:50.900 Including an influx of anti-government, far-right groups.

00:44:55.840 The sheriff himself didn't see all the groups,

00:44:59.500 but we know among those to show up

00:45:01.980 were members of white nationalist group Active Club.

00:45:06.040 Going to a disaster relief is directly helping our people.

00:45:10.220 You're going to help white people? 0.87

00:45:12.600 Yeah.

00:45:13.760 Robert Rundo co-founded Active Club in 2020

00:45:16.940 as a place for disgruntled young white men

00:45:20.340 to work out together while sharing their ideology.

00:45:24.740 With nearly 90 chapters, it's been described by watchdogs

00:45:28.640 as one of the country's fastest-growing white supremacist networks.

00:45:33.360 They also hold mixed martial arts tournaments.

00:45:37.460 We get together with the boys, we box, we travel.

00:45:40.240 Do you think of it as fun?

00:45:41.780 Of course. You know, there's fun in fascism.

00:45:44.540 Fun in fascism?

00:45:46.540 I'm a nationalist.

00:45:47.480 What does that mean?

00:45:48.740 A nationalist?

00:45:49.480 Yeah.

00:45:49.940 It means I put my people first.

00:45:51.940 Would you say white supremacist?

00:45:54.720 No, I think that's a slanderish term.

00:45:57.240 But my people are white people, European white people.

00:46:01.100 Right, and there's plenty of organizations that are geared towards other ethnic groups, right?

00:46:06.620 If we don't look out for ourselves, who is?

00:46:08.340 I know that your organization has gone to floods, fires, hurricanes.

00:46:15.040 What if you came upon someone who wasn't white, but is suffering because of the flood?

00:46:20.140 Like if there was like a guy on fire, would I give him water? 0.90

00:46:22.780 Yeah, I'd probably give him water.

00:46:24.540 A surge of... 1.00

00:46:25.720 Yeah, so we know you have Muslim towns being built in Texas.

00:46:32.540 You have Black Lives Matter.

00:46:34.300 You have the NAACP.

00:46:35.840 You have the National Urban League and hundreds of other black and minority advocacy groups.

00:46:43.120 But the moment white people organize to help their own people, it's immediately branded as a threat.

00:46:51.240 And so this is, again, the blatant ethnic double standards that are flourishing under the post-war consensus.

00:46:57.460 And it shouldn't shock us that this stuff's happening.

00:46:59.380 This is the type of things that are branded as terrible.

00:47:05.280 These are the, oh my goodness, you can't go back to that old world.

00:47:08.440 That old world means Nazism. 0.92

00:47:11.260 It means Hitler.

00:47:12.240 But the reality is that for thousands of years, we had nationalism governing the way the world

00:47:19.900 worked. Nobody viewed race as being a bad thing. It was a positive good. Again, we talked about

00:47:28.720 this in previous episodes. To this day, Mexico is filled with who? Mexicans. Japan is filled with

00:47:35.540 who? The Japanese. Russia's filled with Russians. Africa's filled with Africans. Nigeria is filled 1.00

00:47:42.160 with Nigerians, right? It's only the West that we are not allowed to have any of these distinctions.

00:47:48.560 If we do, it is considered racist. It is considered Hitler. It's considered Nazism.

00:47:53.660 It's considered fascism. It's considered white nationalism, white supremacy, all of these things.

00:47:59.020 It is, we are supposed to feel guilty and shameful for these. All of this stuff

00:48:02.820 is wrapped up in the post-war consensus.

00:48:06.740 Probably the greatest book,

00:48:07.700 we talked about it in the last episode for you to read,

00:48:10.100 is Return of the Strong Gods by R.R. Reno.

00:48:12.880 It is a great book.

00:48:14.780 And again, the narrative is this,

00:48:16.900 that we had the world operated a particular way

00:48:19.860 for thousands of years.

00:48:23.240 And then we had this phenomenon

00:48:26.720 of the pre-war consensus of this transition.

00:48:31.000 and then it transitioned in 1960 real hard to the post-war consensus. And so this huge shift,

00:48:38.660 it's an experiment. Again, I can't look back to my forefathers of previous generations and go,

00:48:45.080 what did they say about mass transgenderism and trannies reading my children library books? 0.90

00:48:52.980 uh what can i go back and read in the 1700s about interracial marriage can i go back and

00:49:00.740 figure out what they were doing about their mass immigration policy um no you can't go back and

00:49:07.960 look for any of this like what about oh how do we deal with women pastors and feminism that's

00:49:12.140 happened everywhere no this stuff never existed for the history of the world and here we are

00:49:19.220 dealing with it. And it's very unique. And R.R. Reno's book demonstrates that we are seeing the

00:49:25.440 return of the old world, which he calls strong gods, return of the strong gods. And just like

00:49:32.100 this young gentleman that was here in this video on 60 Minutes, the young men are organizing.

00:49:39.340 They are very much nationalistic. They are very conservative. They are very much patriarchal.
