00:00:00.000 you are now entering restricted broadcast territory they were planning to use the term
00:00:08.920 fake news to drive a censorship program some members of the media some members of the media
00:00:13.620 they were always going to intend to crush
00:00:17.360 i say it's like a like a fractal image right you the more you zoom in the more you see it
00:00:25.400 it's like you can't
00:00:26.020 This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.
00:00:56.020 And, of course, before I begin, let me remind you that we are doing a conference this November.
00:01:01.020 Go to newchristianright.com slash conference.
00:01:04.240 Use the promo code Harrison to get 20% off, and I hope to see you there.
00:01:07.700 So without any further ado, communism, the specter of communism.
00:01:13.300 A lot of democratic socialists, so-called, have won elections in the United States recently,
00:01:18.740 and this has caused a bit of a panic in the GOP and Republicans.
00:01:22.440 and I'm here to try to instruct them on how to deal with modern communism because modern
00:01:29.420 communism is very different than the communism that we're used to in the past but it's much more
00:01:34.520 virulent and dangerous at this moment and it is a real threat that we have to actually contend with
00:01:41.480 and I find this a little bit strange. I was born the tail end of 1989 meaning for my whole life
00:01:48.200 communism has kind of been a joke. I remember being in high school and we'd make movies and
00:01:53.500 we always made the bad guys communists because it was funny to have the hero be like, stop,
00:01:58.900 communists, because it was this joke. They didn't exist anymore. They were a relic from the past
00:02:03.620 that we'd never experienced in our own lives. That, of course, was because of the
00:02:07.720 fall of the Soviet Union. However, ever since the fall of the Soviet Union,
00:02:12.040 it feels like we've stopped playing defense. It feels like we've sort of assumed everybody knows
00:02:17.700 communists lost you know communism is the worst ever everybody knows that we don't have to defend
00:02:25.340 against it anymore we don't have to argue against it anymore it's been treated as an assumption
00:02:29.780 that's no longer an assumption that you can make communism is coming back in a very real way
00:02:35.040 and we're going to define exactly what communism is where it comes from what motivates it because
00:02:41.280 it is not so much an economic system as a total inversion of life itself. There's a false dichotomy,
00:02:50.920 I think, that's been put forward between capitalism and communism. Yet, if you look
00:02:56.320 back through history, this was never seen as an economic battle. This was always seen as a battle
00:03:01.960 of value, a battle of morals, a battle of who you are as a race, as humanity. What is humanity's
00:03:09.460 purpose. This is much, much deeper than economics. Economics are sort of the springboard that it
00:03:15.580 comes from. It's what inspires a lot of people today to be looking at communism and wanting to
00:03:22.740 try it out, thinking, hey, maybe this time it'll work. But let me give you some examples. First of
00:03:28.140 all, this has caused a very real sort of panic and sense of crisis for the Republicans. They're
00:03:36.420 posting things like this from the House GOP. It's easier to like socialism in a college seminar.
00:03:44.200 It's a lot harder to like it in the breadline.
00:03:48.560 This is not going to work anymore. What I'm here to tell you, what I'm here to tell the Republicans,
00:03:53.880 this is no longer sufficient to defeat the specter of communism that's currently bubbling up from the
00:04:00.440 muck and threatening to kill us all. These little quippy one-liners are not enough to stave off the
00:04:07.100 avalanche of economic uncertainty that they've been slowly building up and we're all just waiting
00:04:13.540 to come crashing down on all of our heads. So they've decided to make this a central core of
00:04:21.040 their messaging moving into the midterms and moving forward to 2028. Of course, following the
00:04:26.720 victory of democratic socialists. You had headlines like this, democratic socialists
00:04:32.180 are on a winning streak. Here's what that means for the Democrats. And of course, one thing we
00:04:36.100 know about the Democrats, conversely, and differently than the Republicans, they embrace
00:04:42.880 their radicals. The Democrats do not demand that their sort of more extreme elements of their
00:04:48.480 party be totally ostracized and kicked out and forbidden from reaching any power. They actually
00:04:54.500 work with the radicals. They actually are happy to collaborate with the radicals. I'm not even
00:04:59.160 saying whether that's a virtue or not, but it is effective. And it does mean that this specter,
00:05:04.240 the rising specter of Democratic Socialists of America, who are, of course, just communists,
00:05:09.760 they're just communists. In fact, I think I have a video, but I may have. Yeah, we got it.
00:05:16.780 We got it here. I'll pull it in and I'll show you because it's
00:05:21.380 It's because I feel like I need to back this up because these people are so infinitely dishonest and it's a they wield strategies and methods that only work with a gullible and trusting populace.
00:05:41.940 They are avowed communists. They are open communists. They are explicitly communists.
00:05:47.500 But they say, but you know, not, but I'm not though. And it's like, okay, he's not a communist.
00:05:51.920 So now if you say, well, the DSA are just communists, they say, whoa, whoa, no, we're
00:05:55.100 democratic socialists. Okay. Oh, I'm sure. We're all, we're all falling for that one. Meanwhile,
00:06:02.640 this is what they really sound like. Let me see if I can play this.
00:06:05.980 I mean, our goal is liberation. Our goal is communism.
00:06:08.360 Yes, we know. Yes, we know. That was, I believe his name is David Jenkins, one of the main leaders
00:06:14.460 of DSA. But yes, they are literal communists. This really isn't even a question. And again,
00:06:20.160 we're seeing Trump and Republicans sort of wake up to this threat. They really should have been
00:06:25.400 awake to it more and earlier. But again, what we're going to do here, not just talk about the
00:06:31.100 rising threat of communism, I really want to try to instruct the Republicans on how to defeat this
00:06:36.980 because there's one of two situations. Either they really are sincerely terrified by the
00:06:42.680 specter of communism as they should be. We've seen communism in the past. There are no limitations
00:06:48.480 to their behavior once they get into power. I'll show you a video in a second. Mike Johnson
00:06:53.040 talking about communism. He actually sounds scared of this and he should be because they
00:06:57.920 will drag his family out of their beds and throw them into gulags or hang them in the town square. 0.92
00:07:02.180 These people are vicious and they are planning a communist revolution. I'll present that to you 0.99
00:07:06.080 by the end of the show today. But what I want to point out is that these people, if they are either,
00:07:10.620 they are sincerely terrified of communism, in which case they are not acting like that. They're
00:07:15.620 not doing what's necessary. They're not actually solving the problems that are causing people to
00:07:20.800 turn to communism. So if they're sincere about wanting to defeat communism, I have some ideas
00:07:26.220 that I think could help, and I want to present those. But the other option is that they're not
00:07:30.780 actually trying to stop communism, that they know that there's basically a communist uprising being
00:07:36.380 planned. Again, I'll bring you this information by the end of the show. And that they think this
00:07:42.180 will be useful in retaining power. So we're going to lay out all of this, but let's first look at
00:07:48.800 some of the things Trump and people like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson are saying about
00:07:53.160 communism. And then we'll go back in time and look at the history of America's combat,
00:07:57.980 our conflict with the specter of international communism. And we'll see how we should really
00:08:03.620 be approaching this because the economic approach is a losing one without some major changes.
00:08:09.620 But first here is Trump giving a speech recently where he invokes
00:08:14.520 the terror, the threat of international communism.
00:08:19.820 As we're seeing now, communism is the greatest threat to our country, including,
00:08:24.160 i believe this you know when i said it i said boy that's pretty severe but i
00:08:28.600 think it's true it's the biggest threat to our country including world war one
00:08:33.340 world war ii pearl harbor september 11th i think it's a bigger threat potentially a bigger threat
00:08:40.600 than that because it's like a cancer that spreads and you better stop it fast we will never let the
00:08:47.160 United States become a communist country. Won't happen. I mean, our goal is liberation. Our goal
00:08:54.500 is communism. And of course, the scene of Donald Trump in front of a bunch of white guys dressed
00:09:01.920 like Teddy Roosevelt is sort of the best image for this. Which again, I think he's sincere when
00:09:08.540 he's like, this is the biggest threat we've ever faced and America will never become communist.
00:09:13.420 It's good to see that this fight is happening again.
00:09:16.820 Because like I said before, as soon as the Soviet Union fell, it's like we lowered our guard. 0.90
00:09:20.700 It's like we won forever. 0.82
00:09:21.980 That's not the case.
00:09:23.140 And in fact, we probably should have been fighting harder against communism the entire time.
00:09:26.420 I mean, now the sort of average common understanding about, you know, the red scare was that it was just that, a scare.
00:09:34.500 No, it was very real.
00:09:35.940 And in fact, we could have gone a lot further in that.
00:09:40.720 And actually, when you look back at the whole history of the Cold War, what you see is not
00:09:44.800 America triumphing over communism.
00:09:46.960 What you see is America struggling to keep its head above water as the communist influences
00:09:51.980 in America, even during the heights of the Cold War, made major inroads into our major
00:09:57.540 institutions, including our academia and politics.
00:10:01.300 The art world has completely abandoned beauty.
00:10:04.600 What used to point people towards truth now celebrates chaos, ugliness, and radical individualism.
00:10:12.620 That's not an accident. It's the fruit of a culture that has ultimately rejected God.
00:10:18.100 See, art is not neutral. It disciples people.
00:10:22.080 Jacob Dinman of Dinman Originals is working to reclaim fine art for Christ and for America.
00:10:29.300 His paintings aren't just decorations. They're statements.
00:10:33.300 Pieces like A New Manifest Destiny and Heritage Revival present a vision of an American Renaissance rooted in Christian faith, ordered liberty, and the inheritance our fathers handed down to us.
00:10:49.180 And there's something for every budget.
00:10:51.440 You can start with high-quality art prints for just $40.
00:10:55.240 You could purchase hand-drawn original sketches for only $100 or invest in a one-of-one original
00:11:03.140 painting, each of these representing hundreds of hours of work. 0.86
00:11:08.260 If we're serious about rebuilding Christian civilization, we should surround ourselves
00:11:13.280 with the things that remind us of what's true, what's good, and what's beautiful.
00:11:18.860 Check out the link in the description below to see the full collection from Dimon Originals.
00:11:25.240 Everyone's watching missiles and fighter jets, but the real bottleneck in modern warfare is
00:11:30.800 our supply chain. Almost every advanced weapon system relies upon tungsten, and the United
00:11:37.240 States has not commercially mined this mineral in nearly a decade. Washington knows that that's
00:11:44.100 a problem. That's why the Pentagon has invested millions into restarting domestic tungsten
00:11:50.720 production. And the Trump administration has just launched something called Project Vault,
00:11:56.620 a $12 billion initiative to rebuild America's critical mineral supply chain. That's where
00:12:03.980 Vault Strategic Mining comes in, trading under KNXFF in the U.S. and NOX, KNOX in Canada.
00:12:13.860 Vault is acquiring historic American tungsten mines and bringing them back into production
00:12:20.020 using modern exploration techniques.
00:12:22.880 As America moves to secure the materials essential for national defense,
00:12:28.380 companies' position to supply them could become increasingly important.
00:12:33.380 So, to learn more about Vault Strategic Mining and its projects,
00:12:37.880 check out the link in the description below.
00:12:40.220 And a special thanks to Vault Strategic Mining for sponsoring today's episode.
00:12:45.600 But that was, you know, Trump calling it a cancer.
00:12:48.320 And that's sort of where we're at at this point is we've been to the doctor, we've been diagnosed with cancer, it's metastasizing, it's spreading, and right now it's like the patient, that is the Republicans, are sort of freaking out and running around being like, we have cancer, we have cancer, what do we do? What do we do about having cancer? We've got to do something about cancer.
00:13:09.000 And it's like, okay, you have to treat the cancer. You have to understand the cancer so you can treat the cancer. So I'm the doctor. I will be your physician. I will be applying necessary remedies and instructing you and providing the diagnosis and prognosis moving forward to try to cure us of this cancer, not just run around screaming that we have cancer while it continues to grow and fester inside of us.
00:13:34.720 we actually need to do something about it. Luckily, we have all the tools we could ever
00:13:39.860 possibly need. This is, once again, folds into my common saying, and it's once again a factor
00:13:49.000 of proof for it, is all America needs to succeed is ruthless application of existing law. We don't
00:13:55.520 need new laws. We don't need a revolutionary new system. We have the laws on the books. As long as
00:14:02.520 they're being enforced, we wouldn't have an issue. Many of the DSA members who got elected this year,
00:14:08.820 many of their voters, they're foreigners. They're here by permission. They weren't born here. They
00:14:15.800 don't have a birthright to America. They're guests of ours, and they can be kicked out,
00:14:21.560 and they should be because every single person who becomes an American citizen swears that they're
00:14:27.200 not communists. So if you swear you're not a communist in order to become an American citizen,
00:14:32.420 but it turns out you vote communist and are a part of communist groups, you lose your
00:14:37.500 citizenship. That's the law. It's just not enforced. Mom Donnie should not be mayor of
00:14:42.680 New York because he should have been expelled from the country because of his ties to communist
00:14:47.180 groups. And they don't have to be explicitly communist. This is another thing that it makes
00:14:52.100 our law enforcement utterly impotent is that, I guess, it's illegal still, the Communist
00:14:59.860 Control Act of 1954 is still in place, still illegal to be communists, so they just call
00:15:04.560 themselves workers' rights, co-ops, democratic socialists of America, but they're communists.
00:15:10.340 But for some reason, if they don't say they're communists, it's like we can't call them that.
00:15:14.720 No, you can just expel them. 0.77
00:15:16.760 You can just kick them out of the country. 0.74
00:15:18.620 You can just close the border.
00:15:20.840 And this gets us to sort of the point of all of this, which is what is driving people to communism?
00:15:27.340 If you don't understand the motivation for people who are moving to communism,
00:15:32.380 how are you going to stop them from moving to communism?
00:15:35.920 And of course, it appears as though the Trump administration and the current crop of Republicans,
00:15:41.060 they're like actively hostile to the idea of understanding these things.
00:15:46.520 Caroline Levitt was interviewed about a week ago about the economic situation, especially amongst Zoomers, but sort of the younger you get, the worse the economic system is and people are feeling hopeless. And, you know, her response was essentially pull yourself up by your bootstraps. It's your fault because you're lazy.
00:16:02.260 This is the worst possible way to react to this because right now people are suffering. The economic system is completely demented. It is not working for anybody except the people at the very top. You have to be able to recognize that. 0.76
00:16:16.240 The problem is with this false dichotomy of capitalism versus communism, which is a false dichotomy, people think that any sort of desire to see our economic system better serve equality, limit inequality – we talk about the richest, getting richer, getting more and more share of the economic pie.
00:16:42.620 That is not an inherently communistic idea. That's an American idea. And this will be sort of my
00:16:49.020 thesis for this whole presentation is rejecting the false dichotomy of capitalism versus communism
00:16:54.720 and embracing the third way, which is Americanism, which is why I said it's appropriate that the guys
00:16:59.720 behind Donald Trump are dressed up like Teddy Roosevelt. He was the trust buster, right? Just
00:17:04.760 like Andrew Jackson busted up the banks. This is not un-American. This is deeply American.
00:17:11.520 The American government has been impaneled so that we Americans collectively can wield authority over people who want to do us harm.
00:17:20.880 That includes corporations.
00:17:23.100 The point of the American government, the way it should be used, is to stop people from being exploited by corporations, being taken advantage of when the corporations donate to open the border so they can hire scab workers.
00:17:36.680 This is not capitalism.
00:17:38.400 This is a demented and twisted form of crypto socialism where all of the government benefits are given directly to corporations and the billionaires that run them. That's wrong and bad and is anti-American.
00:17:54.200 and you know we're going to talk about violence in another episode left is violence but
00:17:59.320 you know it makes me think of the killing of the health care executive by luigi mangioni 0.95
00:18:05.420 and this idea that he's a socialist and he murdered this cap this big capitalist pig 0.71
00:18:11.400 and it's like well what happened after that the only thing that happened was 0.86
00:18:14.700 the fellow executives got bonuses so they could hire security and keep themselves more separate
00:18:21.580 from the average person. It's actually a great thing and a very American thing that millionaires
00:18:28.460 and billionaires are walking down the street looking no different than anybody else. That's
00:18:34.040 a deeply American concept that sitting at the bar or at the diner, you got a billionaire sitting
00:18:41.180 next to a farm worker and they're equal in the eyes of the law and they're equal in the eyes
00:18:47.640 of society. That's a really beautiful thing. That doesn't exist in socialist countries. The more
00:18:52.440 socialist you become, the more isolated and separated the upper classes become because
00:18:58.720 things get more dangerous as prosperity collapses and crime rises. The people who have the money
00:19:05.440 pay for their own private police forces, pay for their own private security, helicopter from one
00:19:09.940 roof building, building of one roof to the next. They never even have to walk on the ground with
00:19:14.500 the peasants. It's actually a good and beautiful thing to have everybody of every class equal in
00:19:21.800 your country and not being separated and upset apart from everybody else. Socialism leads us
00:19:28.040 to that bifurcation. But at the same time, it's that inequality that's been created through the
00:19:33.700 excesses of capitalism that provides the motivation for the people on the ground who want socialism.
00:19:38.920 So long story short, you have to actually deal with the economic uncertainties. You have to actually provide a decent argument as to why our system actually serves the people and isn't just a tool of the capitalist manipulators to exploit everybody to a maximal degree, which is our situation now.
00:19:58.560 We have to correct that. The government has to actually step in and stop private equity from looting the retirement funds so they can buy up profitable buildings, loot them, bankrupt them, and sell off the parts while firing thousands of people.
00:20:13.660 The government has to stop H-1B visas being used to undercut American wages. The government has to stop bringing in foreigners to take up spots in our universities so that good jobs and good training can go to American people, not a bunch of foreign interlopers. 0.91
00:20:28.560 You have to actually do stuff to benefit the American people, to build up our economic 0.98
00:20:32.920 prosperity on the real level, not at the stock market level, which is totally disconnected
00:20:37.380 and unassociated with the quality of life and the well-being of the average person on
00:20:41.360 the ground.
00:20:41.640 In fact, it seems to have an inverse relationship because for my entire life, things have gotten
00:20:48.040 worse while the stock market has exploded in price.
00:20:50.960 I don't know what the stock market is measuring, but it is certainly not measuring the economic
00:20:54.880 well-being of the average American person.
00:20:57.040 It seems to have an inverse relationship with that. So let's go to one more video of Johnson
00:21:01.860 because again, I think what comes across to me is a sincere terror of communism, is a sincere
00:21:09.040 desire to want to do something to stop the movement of young people towards the false
00:21:14.900 promises of socialism and communism. It seems sincere, but if it was sincere, then they would
00:21:21.460 be doing more than they're currently doing. However, I do think it's worth it to hear from
00:21:26.680 the guy. Let's listen. It's in their platform. They want to remove the carceral state. They
00:21:30.440 said no prisons. They don't want to fund the police. This is not a game. Everybody needs
00:21:35.860 to understand these crazy little mini mom Donnie's who are popping up all around the country. They 1.00
00:21:39.600 were a, they were a danger to you and your family. This is not a game. If they promise you free stuff,
00:21:45.620 there is far more beneath those promises that even some of these people do not understand
00:21:49.840 themselves. All right. So again, he's just sort of making like some typical arguments. It's like,
00:21:56.060 he's promising you free stuff he's tricking you but the problem is you've got young people living 0.97
00:22:01.900 in their cars they've got full-time jobs they're making tiktok videos where they're crying into 0.51
00:22:06.020 the camera going what the hell's going on i'm 25 years old i've got no house no prospect i'll ever
00:22:11.580 own a house i can't afford to go out so i can't afford to meet anybody i'm just trying to keep
00:22:15.940 my head above water and pay off these these dang bills i have for my education that turned out not
00:22:21.480 to help me. What is going on? We need a solution. And the Republicans look at that person and go,
00:22:27.920 shut up, stop whining. Don't you know I had to struggle too a little bit?
00:22:33.500 That's typically the boomer response. And then the other side is the socialists and the capitalists
00:22:39.000 going, oh, we understand. We feel for you. And it's those damn billionaires. You vote for us.
00:22:44.320 We're going to take their stuff and we're going to give it to you. Now, I know that's a lie.
00:22:48.620 You know that's a lie. But who do you think they're going to go for? The person telling them
00:22:52.960 your problems aren't real? Shut up. Or the person telling them we have the solution to all your 1.00
00:22:56.620 problems. Vote for us. It's no wonder people are going over to communism and socialism. They're
00:23:03.280 the only ones making arguments that appeal to the problems currently affecting them in their lives.
00:23:08.080 You have to actually understand, empathize with, and then provide solutions for these problems.
00:23:13.740 But that's not going to happen because in reality, what's happening right now
00:23:17.300 is that our capitalist system is run by communists. It's run by people who want
00:23:22.060 communism. It's run by Larry Fink, right? So they're using capitalism. They're destroying
00:23:29.320 capitalism. They're maximizing the exploitation of capitalism to drive people to communism.
00:23:35.500 And I'll explain this in just a second. But in fact, I don't need to explain it. I've got
00:23:40.820 somebody to do it better than I ever could. A guy you may have heard of named John F. Kennedy.
00:23:46.320 B, the president of the United States. This is a very famous speech I'm about to play a clip from,
00:23:51.560 but you probably haven't heard this part of the speech. The speech I'm referencing
00:23:54.600 is the one in which JFK talked about a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy.
00:23:59.940 This is an extremely popular soundbite in the conspiracy world. He talks about the danger of
00:24:06.040 secrecy to our open society, the danger of these secretly organized groups working in the shadows
00:24:11.500 to steal our freedoms. It could be applied to all sorts of secret societies, secret organizations,
00:24:16.940 protocols of the elders of Zion, the house of Rothschild, whatever you want to talk about.
00:24:20.220 What he was talking about in that speech was explicitly communism. He was giving that speech,
00:24:25.680 I'm not sure the exact year, I think it was two years before he was murdered. So it would have
00:24:31.660 been, I think he gave the speech in 1962. At some point during the height of the Cold War,
00:24:39.360 he gives this speech to a collection of press people in New York City. So he's giving this
00:24:46.120 speech to a bunch of newspapermen, writers, journalists, that sort of stuff. And he's talking
00:24:51.080 about their role in combating communism. He's talking about sort of an early version of the
00:24:55.940 information war. But in the beginning of this speech, he starts out the speech in a very
00:24:59.880 interesting way with a kind of joke, kind of a joking anecdote. I cut it out here. So this is
00:25:07.880 the very beginning of JFK's speech to all of the newspapermen in New York City. And he starts
00:25:14.680 off with a little story about the beginning of communism. I've enhanced the audio so you can
00:25:18.880 hear it. The video quality still has a lot to be desired. But here's that speech, the famous JFK
00:25:23.860 monolithic ruthless conspiracy speech. Here's how he starts it.
00:25:28.320 Ladies and gentlemen, I appreciate very much your generous invitation to be here tonight.
00:25:34.060 you bear heavy responsibilities
00:25:38.100 deep day
00:25:38.960 and a article I read
00:25:41.700 some time ago
00:25:43.680 reminded me of how particularly heavily
00:25:46.500 the burdens of present day event
00:25:49.060 bear in front of your profession
00:25:51.220 you may remember
00:25:53.600 that in 1851
00:25:55.140 New York Herald Tribune
00:25:57.580 under the sponsorship
00:26:00.360 and publishing
00:26:01.480 of Horace Greeley
00:26:03.880 employed as its London correspondent,
00:26:06.480 an obscure journalist by the name of Karl Marx,
00:26:09.340 we are told that foreign correspondent Marx, stone-broke,
00:26:13.680 and with a family ill and undernourished,
00:26:16.780 constantly appeared to Greeley and managing editor Charles Dana
00:26:20.760 for an increase in his munificent salary of $5 for installment,
00:26:26.420 a salary which he and Engel ungratefully label
00:26:29.080 as the lousiest petty bourgeois cheating.
00:26:31.200 But when all his financial appeals were refused, March looked around for other means of livelihood and fames,
00:26:41.120 eventually terminating his relationship with the Tribune and devoting his talents full-time to the cause that would bequeath to the world
00:26:48.280 the seeds of Leninism, Stalinism, Revolution, and the Cold War.
00:26:53.200 If only this capitalistic New York newspaper...
00:27:01.200 had treated him more kindly.
00:27:09.840 If only Marx had remained a foreign correspondent, history might have been different.
00:27:18.060 So here's the actual speech the president and the press addressed before the American
00:27:22.080 Newspaper Publishers Association, April 27th, 1961. So what he's saying, he's sort of half
00:27:29.580 joking. But what he's saying is that basically because the newspaper had refused Karl Marx a
00:27:34.920 raise, that's what sort of tipped him over the edge and caused him to write the Communist
00:27:38.960 Manifesto. It's a big tongue in cheek, but what he points to is actually a much deeper truth.
00:27:46.040 And it's actually something that's worth paying attention to. It goes to the heart of what I was
00:27:50.880 just talking about with the marriage between the excesses of capitalism driving people into the
00:27:56.920 arms of communism. Capitalism has to treat its workers well. You have to have something to
00:28:03.200 motivate your workers. They have to actually believe in something. And interestingly,
00:28:06.640 I was at a thrift store a couple months ago and I saw this framed image cut out of a Saturday
00:28:13.080 evening post and framed up as an antique. I should have bought it because I talk about it all the
00:28:17.580 time now. But this was actually an ad for American Mutual Life Insurance or something. But this was
00:28:24.660 an ad from the Saturday Morning Post published in the late 40s, early 50s. And it says,
00:28:31.180 Anarchy is the child of despair. Apart from the cranks, the money lusting exploiters of ignorance
00:28:37.040 and the temperamental nihilist, nobody wants to go red. Nobody wants to become a communist. Men
00:28:42.220 only go red if they are bitterly discontented. Let a man feel that he is oppressed and exploited,
00:28:48.760 that his employer neither knows nor cares if he lives or dies, that whatever happens,
00:28:54.240 he has nothing to lose. He listens with conviction to the agitator's vindictive foamings and to the
00:28:59.520 promise of communist heaven on earth. But the contented workman with his family, his home,
00:29:04.820 his savings, sure a fair treatment by his employer, secure against accident, is immune to the virus
00:29:10.100 of the agitator. Class war, revolution, blood murder. What promise lies in these thoughts
00:29:16.420 for the contented workmen. I mean, that's everything right there. You want to know
00:29:25.040 why people are going to communism? It's because capitalism is failing them. It's because they're
00:29:31.140 hungry for an alternative. And it's not enough to say, shut up and deal with it. It's not enough 0.88
00:29:36.380 to say communism lost, capitalism won, and we don't have to make the argument anymore. No,
00:29:42.140 you have to make the argument and you have to prove the argument. Because the other thing I
00:29:45.580 see is that people on the right, people in the Republican Party like to insist that people are
00:29:52.420 communists because they've been brainwashed. And certainly there's something to that. I mean,
00:29:56.880 the academies, the academic sector, the university system is replete with communists. There's no
00:30:02.560 question about that. And they use their position in these organizations to push for their ideological
00:30:08.700 capture. But also the effects are real, but also the economic effects are real and tangible. And
00:30:15.540 affecting people's lives. And we see the exploitation, we see the consolidation, the
00:30:21.240 universal gathering up into the biggest and most powerful companies, the resources of all
00:30:30.720 of the smaller companies. I mean, we saw this during COVID where basically every small business
00:30:36.100 in the country was forced to shut down. And we saw the most massive wealth transfer from the
00:30:41.380 middle class and the lower class to the upper class than we've ever seen before. And hundreds
00:30:45.900 of thousands of small businesses shuttered while companies like Amazon, Walmart, Target saw their
00:30:52.160 biggest profits of all time. Still to this day, the average corporate monstrosity is posting
00:31:00.240 record profits, but the wages are going down. This is an issue you have to actually deal with.
00:31:05.560 This is an issue you have to actually confront. And you solve this problem by solving the causes
00:31:12.280 of the problem. You can't just treat the symptoms, which is what communism does, right? It looks at
00:31:18.940 the effects of inequality and says, this is bad. We have to forcibly, you know, solve this by
00:31:24.940 just taking money from the rich and giving it to the poor. Theoretically, that's how it should
00:31:30.140 work, that doesn't make any sense. You didn't get here that way. You can't undo it that way.
00:31:36.440 You have to actually solve the problem, right? It's like my dad used to always say,
00:31:42.260 if you have a headache, it's not because you have a Tylenol deficiency, right? There's a problem
00:31:46.440 that the headache that's causing the headache. You have to solve that, not just patch it over
00:31:51.240 or try to cover it up. And so you have to get rid of the illegal immigrants that are undercutting 1.00
00:31:57.500 wages. Get rid of the legal immigrants that are undercutting wages. Get rid of the corporate 1.00
00:32:04.100 regulation structure that stops small businesses from being created, but benefits big businesses.
00:32:09.400 Stop private equity from taking advantage of our retirement funds to backfill their failures
00:32:17.920 as they systematically bankrupt otherwise profitable businesses across the country,
00:32:22.960 including Joanne's Fabric, whose stores, 95% of them were profitable, but goes into bankruptcy
00:32:28.280 as soon as private equity buys them, closing down hundreds of brick and mortar locations,
00:32:35.260 destroying communities, forcing people into retirement. This has massive negative societal
00:32:41.840 consequences that go totally unaddressed by people who are focused entirely on the financial aspects
00:32:48.840 Because I think this is not a financial situation. The financial troubles that people are in are causing them to look around and desire something else. The financial unfairness of our current system is what is causing a lot of the problems, but the problems themselves are the problems of a broken society.
00:33:10.880 You know, this might be a little obscure, but it's the idea of, like, if a young person could create a family, could have a house, feel secure, feel like their efforts are being rewarded, you know, that could exist in a feudal system where peasants don't have money but live entirely off the street.
00:33:34.860 It's not about the money. It's about what we don't have anymore, which is community and cohesiveness and common understanding of the world around us and a belief, at least a trust that our fellow Americans believe like we do and aren't just trying to exploit everybody, but we're actually all involved in this communal activity of building and establishing and maintaining a society that's fair for everybody.
00:33:57.820 If you can't prove that, if you can't provide that, if instead you have a bunch of young people who can't get a job because they didn't get into the school, so they can't make a down payment on a house, so they don't feel like they're in a place to start a family, and they can't go out and meet people because they don't have any excess cash to go to bars or do anything fun, all of these things are problems.
00:34:21.080 And they're all downstream from the exploitation of capitalism. And you have to recognize that and take measures against it so that you don't have people going over towards a wholesale destruction of the entire system as it exists.
00:34:34.820 Now, this gets a little bit confusing and complicated when you get into the ideological aspects and when you remove it from the economic aspects and you look at, like, who are these people and what do they actually desire?
00:34:44.480 It's all totally incoherent and inconsistent.
00:34:47.140 You have this red-green alliance. 1.00
00:34:48.540 You have the leftist, liberal, progressive degenerates somehow teaming up with the hyper-socially conservative Muslims. 0.99
00:34:57.560 It gets a little confusing. 1.00
00:34:58.960 It's all a little wonky.
00:34:59.820 The thing to understand is that there are two sides.
00:35:03.420 There's European, Western, Christian civilization, and there's everybody else.
00:35:09.080 Okay?
00:35:09.320 And so when people like Marco Rubio talk about how what motivates communists is a desire to tear down civilization, that's because civilization as it exists, the civilization that we exist in in America, but really the only civilization that has ever achieved the level of progress and prosperity that defined the 19th century and 20th century, that was Western Christian civilization.
00:35:36.860 By the time Western Christian civilization was entering into the Industrial Revolution and building steam engines, you know, Africa was still in the Stone Age for 90% of it.
00:35:50.560 China was still binding people's feet so that women couldn't actually walk anywhere and were selling people. 0.87
00:35:57.840 The Middle East basically hadn't progressed in 1,200 years.
00:36:01.720 it was a it was european civilization that established what everybody around the world
00:36:08.840 now understands as civilization so the people that are against this civilization they are
00:36:15.020 genuinely literally against the concept of civilization what they're in favor of is some 0.69
00:36:19.860 sort of highly organized barbarism right china right now is communist yes their prosperity comes 0.82
00:36:27.620 from their capitalistic inclination and tendencies, but they are still ruthless. There are still 0.91
00:36:34.280 videos that come out of Chinese dissidents being chained to chairs and tortured
00:36:38.500 because they opposed the Communist Party. That still exists there. It is still barbarous 0.81
00:36:43.240 to a disturbing degree. But when you look at the things that are motivating these people,
00:36:49.700 It is a genuine hatred inspired mostly by envy and jealousy of Western civilization, white people, Christians, and men.
00:37:01.700 It's an ideology of weakness, communism.
00:37:05.780 However, do not let that fool you into a false sense of security.
00:37:10.780 This is the real danger of the rise of communism is that people in the West, people in America, they genuinely think you can just sort of roll your eyes and scoff at it and that it goes away. It doesn't go away. And I'll show you the sort of history of communist revolutions here in just a second.
00:37:29.780 But getting back to sort of the past and the Cold War and, you know, as JFK's talking, he's pointing out, you've got to treat your workers well or else you're going to have no reason to want to support your system.
00:37:44.260 And it's not just that people who are treated well by capitalism have no reason to go communist.
00:37:49.260 They actually have incentive to fight for the system they have.
00:37:52.160 If you have a house and a family and a nice job and you're happy, you're going to fight like hell to keep that going.
00:37:58.980 You're going to do everything you can to stop communists coming in and tearing that down.
00:38:03.220 If, however, you're 30 years old living at your parents' house as an incel, there's not a lot of, you know, there's nothing to look around to go, you want to lose all of this?
00:38:12.720 You don't have anything. 0.99
00:38:13.580 So what do you have to lose?
00:38:14.600 You don't care.
00:38:15.540 You don't care.
00:38:16.420 So, of course, you're going to go over to communism.
00:38:17.660 But this was never understood as far as I can tell. This was never understood during the Cold War as a conflict between capitalism and communism because capitalism is just an economic system. It is a consequence of freedom. It is an outgrowth of liberty.
00:38:37.740 capitalism is just what happens when people are free to barter and exchange goods they tend to
00:38:43.980 do that and money and profit is the best way and really the only way we've ever found to
00:38:48.420 successfully manage large populations especially in their collective activities profit is the key
00:38:54.820 is the key to that and it's necessary for that but capitalism is not something that i'm fighting
00:39:01.540 for it's not something i'd die for it's not a philosophy it's not an ideology it's a it's an
00:39:05.420 economic system. And this is one of the things that no one's going to be motivated to fight for
00:39:11.460 capitalism. You're motivated to fight for freedom, freedom of choice, freedom of association.
00:39:15.420 Capitalism, like I said, is a outgrowth or a consequence of that. And I can illustrate this
00:39:21.420 very simply with things like, in God we trust. That phrase, in God we trust, was put on our money
00:39:30.180 in the 1950s as a direct response to the atheistic godlessness of communism. We didn't
00:39:37.820 put money on our altars. We put God on our money. This was a battle of civilization,
00:39:44.220 a battle of moral, a moral foundation. Are we a Christian nation that believes in humanity,
00:39:51.540 the human spirit, human flourishing, or are we a communist, atheistic, materialistic nation?
00:39:55.920 that's the divide that's the actual you know war that we're fighting here it's not for capitalism
00:40:02.740 and capitalism in many cases in many ways is detrimental to our fight and has to be restrained
00:40:09.340 and has to be controlled to some degree by the government again trusts have to be busted 0.92
00:40:17.560 monopolies have to be dismantled exploitation has to be prevented scab workers from around the world 0.63
00:40:24.660 have to not be allowed to compete with Americans to drive down our wages. 0.86
00:40:29.640 That's the job of the government to step in and make sure that those excesses aren't driving
00:40:33.780 people away from capitalism and towards communism. Until you do that, all of the clever quips of
00:40:39.220 yours are going to fall on deaf ears. And so you have things like this. This was the statement of
00:40:44.620 President Dwight D. Eisenhower upon signing a bill to include the words under God to the Pledge
00:40:49.340 of Allegiance. So in, I believe, 54, they added under God to the Pledge of Allegiance. And then
00:40:53.580 in 1956, they added, in God we trust to our money. This was his comment in adding it to the
00:40:59.020 Pledge of Allegiance. It says, from this day forward, the millions of our school children
00:41:04.220 will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of
00:41:09.280 our nation and our people to the Almighty. To anyone who truly loves America, nothing could
00:41:13.900 be more inspiring than to contemplate this rededication of our youth on each school
00:41:18.380 morning to our country's true meaning. Especially is this meaningful as we regard today's world?
00:41:23.580 Over the globe, mankind has been cruelly torn by violence and brutality and by the millions
00:41:28.240 deadened in the mind and soul by materialistic philosophy of life, by a materialistic philosophy
00:41:33.620 of life.
00:41:34.540 Man everywhere is appalled by the prospect of atomic war.
00:41:37.640 In this sober setting, this law and its effects today have profound meaning.
00:41:41.120 In this way, we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage
00:41:45.440 and future.
00:41:46.300 In this way, we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons, which forever will
00:41:50.180 be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war.
00:41:53.580 So again, this was the mindset of the Cold War. It wasn't capitalism. He's not talking about we
00:41:59.420 must reaffirm our commitment to trade for profit. That's not the concern. Nobody went to Korea or
00:42:06.880 Vietnam to fight for the right of Coca-Cola or Amazon to make the most money. It's about our
00:42:16.580 society being founded on, being predicated on, being impossible to operate without belief in
00:42:22.800 a higher power and a personal individual responsibility to uphold the dictates of that
00:42:29.120 higher power. And it goes on, the Congress, when discussing this, discussing adding,
00:42:37.940 in God we trust the money, made it even more explicit. House report number 1959 on requiring
00:42:45.080 the motto on all US currency, in these days when imperialistic and materialistic communism seeks
00:42:50.080 to attack and destroy freedom, it is proper for us continually to seek ways to strengthen the
00:42:54.760 foundations of our freedom. This is the argument for why you put in God, we trust on the money
00:42:59.460 to serve as a constant reminder of the space of the nation's spiritual heritage in contrast to
00:43:05.640 atheistic communism. The guiding hand of providence has been evident in the history of our country.
00:43:11.460 We were, uh, and we are putting in God, we trust the national motto on the money to distinguish
00:43:19.080 the United States as separate from nations, quote, founded in philosophies of materialism.
00:43:25.320 The historical record is very clear that the principal motivation was the Cold War. Members
00:43:30.060 of Congress repeatedly contrasted the United States' belief in God with what they described
00:43:33.820 as the official atheistic ideology of the Soviet Union and international communism. So again,
00:43:39.400 the point of this is to say this isn't about capitalism. That's a false dichotomy. When you
00:43:44.000 dragging into capitalism versus communism, suddenly you find yourself arguing on behalf
00:43:48.480 of the people destroying your society, the people exploiting the desperation of youth to promote
00:43:55.220 only fans, the people rigging the welfare system so that they can buy snacks from Frito-Lay to
00:44:00.640 keep the stock price up and the food price high. You're actually suddenly arguing for the very
00:44:07.180 people that are causing the situation that's driving everybody towards communism. Instead,
00:44:11.300 this has to be understood as a conflict a war between communism the atheistic materialistic
00:44:20.320 nihilistic view of the world and the truth and liberty and freedom and the western european
00:44:28.360 christian view of the world which values the human soul over and above the materialistic
00:44:35.420 comfort of the human being. This is the division we need to be arguing. And the reason why this
00:44:41.900 is important, I got a couple more things to present to you here in the final minutes. First
00:44:45.300 of all, how do I present this? Let's go through the history first. So this is just a little bit
00:44:54.460 of history of some of what could be considered communist revolutions, including things like the
00:44:58.220 French Revolution while happening before Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, obviously presaged
00:45:04.020 and forewarned a lot of what communism would entail.
00:45:09.740 And so when you look at the number of
00:45:11.920 what you could call communist revolution throughout history,
00:45:16.240 it's actually a huge number.
00:45:18.080 Like people don't understand how many times this has been tried.
00:45:21.600 So the idea that like it could never happen here,
00:45:23.680 it's happened just about everywhere else.
00:45:26.500 And so you see everything from the Paris Commune,
00:45:28.500 the French Revolution, the Mexican Revolution,
00:45:30.500 the Russian Revolution obviously was a major one
00:45:32.540 starting the Soviet Union. And the other thing you have to understand, people have this assumption
00:45:36.760 that communism will intrinsically fail, that it will inevitably fail. That is not at all true.
00:45:41.560 And I'll prove that here in just a second. But even just take the example everybody knows,
00:45:45.420 the Soviet Union existed for 80 years. It was the most brutal form of communism you could ever 0.52
00:45:51.560 imagine. And yet it existed for generation upon generation upon generation during a time in which
00:45:57.760 the most powerful country in the world, was diametrically opposed to it and working on
00:46:03.140 every front to disable, dismantle, or destroy it. So if the communist revolution in Russia,
00:46:09.800 the most brutal, inefficient, retarded version of communism, could last for 80 years with a primary 0.99
00:46:16.640 rival trying to destroy it the whole time, how long do you think it would last if it took over 1.00
00:46:20.860 America and there was nobody else in the world fighting to free us? It could feasibly last
00:46:26.260 forever. Similarly, you know, look at South Africa. South Africa, they're having protests
00:46:31.560 and riots today dealing with illegal immigration. South Africa has collapsed. It is in a state of
00:46:39.680 total freefall. They can't keep the lights on half the day, yet people are still moving into
00:46:46.060 South Africa to try to take advantage of their welfare system. They're still leftists in South
00:46:49.760 Africa. My point is people have this assumption, especially in America, that either communism will
00:46:55.820 be tried and it will collapse under its own weight inevitably. And it's not even really that big of
00:47:00.660 a threat because it's such a dumb system or that if a collapse occurs, it will happen instantly. 0.75
00:47:05.720 And you'll be able to get all of your prepper gear and go hide out in the mountains and come 0.98
00:47:10.140 back and rebuild society. It's not how any of this works. Communism, when instated, when installed
00:47:14.940 can last for an excruciating long time, excruciatingly long time, potentially forever.
00:47:23.120 The collapse when it comes is not a instant thing that suddenly the lights are off. That could happen, certainly. But much more likely is the South Africa style where things just steadily degrade and get worse forever and there's never any impetus to reverse it.
00:47:36.740 So when studying communist revolutions, understand they happen a lot and they're often successful. 0.83
00:47:46.200 The revolutions are often successful.
00:47:49.120 Whether the state is successful, we'll get to that.
00:47:52.540 But again, I'm using ChatGPT to just sort of parse through large amounts of data here.
00:47:56.660 And these are the numbers that we're interested in.
00:48:00.140 So the number of attempted major communist socialist revolutions is between 35 and 40.
00:48:05.660 succeeded in taking national power 11 to 13. So that's like a quarter of them. So 25% of the time
00:48:13.520 that a communist revolution pops off, it works. It succeeds. They take national power. Initially
00:48:19.780 succeeded, but later collapsed or were overthrown only three to five. That includes Afghanistan,
00:48:24.200 Hungarian Soviet Republic, Paris Commune, Bavarian Soviet Republic. So very small,
00:48:28.020 very sort of inconsequential examples, you know, don't always last. The ones that last are ones
00:48:35.280 like Russia. Here's the important part. Defeated militarily 20 to 25, including Finland, Germany, 1.00
00:48:43.020 Spain, Greece, Malaya, and we're going to look at these. Only two to three were ever ended by
00:48:48.200 settlement or political compromise. Are you starting to see the lesson I'll be teaching here?
00:48:55.560 So of those that succeeded, only around three lasted under five years. Three of them lasted
00:49:01.320 five to 20 years, but seven of them lasted over 20 years with Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, China,
00:49:07.880 and North Korea still under communist control. So the idea that communism has been tried and
00:49:14.260 it's never worked, it's not true with China. I could point to China and say, here's a communist
00:49:19.440 revolution that succeeded. And you could say, well, it's not real communism, but it's like,
00:49:24.080 okay, and? And that's interesting because that's sort of the inverse of what you typically hear,
00:49:29.180 You hear a right-winger say, communism's never worked. And the left-winger says,
00:49:34.100 that wasn't real communism. And then you flip it when it comes to China, you go,
00:49:37.420 China works, it's communist. And the right-winger goes, that's not real communism.
00:49:40.900 All right, well, squabbles, squibbles. These are semantics. So how did the attempts fail?
00:49:50.200 Of the 25 to 30 unsuccessful attempts, 85 to 90 of them were destroyed by military force.
00:49:59.180 This is the point of this entire video. The communist revolution is being built as we speak.
00:50:07.180 They are going to try it here in America. They're building their political power.
00:50:11.420 They're insinuating themselves into our institutions. They're making plans for a
00:50:15.340 nationwide strike to cripple the entire American economy for an indefinite period until they get
00:50:21.660 the demands they want, which include fully communistic, you know, recreations of the
00:50:27.900 the healthcare system, and a bunch of other stuff. They're doing this.
00:50:32.540 Throughout history, the only thing that has successfully crushed communist revolutions
00:50:38.380 is violent military intervention. That's the lesson you'll learn from history when you study it.
00:50:46.020 Okay? One notable pattern, before 1917, almost every socialist proto-communist uprising failed.
00:50:52.800 After the Bolshevik revolution, success became much more common, largely because communist
00:50:56.840 parties had proven an organizational model, Leninism. The Soviet Union provided ideological,
00:51:01.260 financial, military, or diplomatic support. Many post-1945 revolutions occurred in the context
00:51:05.860 of decolonization after the Cold War. So a lot of these communist revolutions,
00:51:10.120 whether they happened at the late end of the 1800s or early 1900s, it was a new thing. They
00:51:15.880 were trying to figure it out. It was messy and not a clean surgical operation. It'll be different
00:51:23.460 this time. They're putting things into place. They're planning in a very sophisticated way.
00:51:29.020 And don't forget that the American military has been purged year over year of their patriotic
00:51:35.460 recruits. I know that sounds crazy that there aren't patriots in the army, but remember,
00:51:40.040 they went around and claimed that you were an extremist and kicked you out of the army if you
00:51:43.980 had a Gadsden flag or a Betsy Ross flag. And they did a couple rounds of this, and they did expel
00:51:50.280 people from the army. They expelled people who they thought had sincere dedication and
00:51:56.000 understanding to our Bill of Rights and our founding history. They are working to purge
00:52:01.900 the military of anybody who would resist unlawful communistic orders. And they've been doing this
00:52:07.100 for years. All of this stuff has been preparing for years. So the question is, when they actually
00:52:11.440 launch the attack, what is our response going to be? If it's informed by history, it must be
00:52:16.400 military in nature. And honestly, we shouldn't wait for the revolution to pop off. We know how
00:52:21.940 this goes. We know where it ends up. So again, we can go through some of these revolutions.
00:52:27.900 And what I was asking was about worker strikes. And you can see that in some of the most effective
00:52:34.960 and successful or nearly successful revolutions, it always involves and starts with and is initiated
00:52:42.200 by massive strikes. Russian Revolution, mass strikes nationwide. Russian February Revolution,
00:52:48.540 general strike crippled Petrograd. Russian Revolution in October 1917, worker Soviets
00:52:54.860 provided legitimacy. That just means worker conferences, worker committees. German Revolution 0.58
00:53:02.620 1918, probably the most important one to understand for our purposes. Massive worker and soldier
00:53:06.960 councils formed. So it follows a familiar pattern. Communists get into workers' co-ops,
00:53:16.820 get into the workers' unions. They agitate. They cause strikes. They cause economic downturn. The
00:53:23.360 government, usually an act of desperation, tries to violently crush it and shut it down. That
00:53:27.600 inspires a violent pushback. It spirals out of control. Soon the whole state is in a state of
00:53:33.820 civil war and you have the official authorities trying to fight back against this uprising swell
00:53:39.800 of worker extremism, but they're hampered in doing that because the communists have already
00:53:45.140 infiltrated into the army and various aspects of the government and the workers' unions have
00:53:51.180 already established methods of communication and shared information. So this is the way that it
00:53:57.900 works. And this is ultimately important in understanding at this moment because of what's
00:54:03.440 coming next. This, and actually I should start with this, why everyone should be preparing for
00:54:12.760 May Day, 2028. If we're going to build enough collective power to win universal healthcare
00:54:17.820 and the right to retire with dignity, then we need to tighten up. So on May Day, 2028,
00:54:24.780 Every major union in America is planning on going on strike at the same time.
00:54:31.060 This is being led by the largest union, the United Auto Workers, but involves a bunch of other unions as well.
00:54:37.200 UAW President Sean Fain sure seems serious.
00:54:40.340 As he wrote in these times in 2024, if we're to build enough collective power to win universal health care and the right to retire with dignity, then we need to spend the next four years getting prepared.
00:54:49.580 Fain first announced the idea in fall 2023 after the UAW's historic stand-up strike won substantial gains from Big Three automakers.
00:54:55.360 The UAW had previously aligned their contracts with the Big Three to expire together, but this time, the UAW is also asking unions from these sectors across the country to join and, as Fain put it, flex our collective muscles.
00:55:08.200 The Chicago Teachers Union, the American Postal Workers Union, and other major unions have publicly supported the effort.
00:55:13.740 The DSA is also involved.
00:55:15.680 Does this fit into our elections?
00:55:17.060 The plan could include pressure not just on employers, but on the state itself.
00:55:20.720 Coordinated issue campaigns and disruptive mass strikes across the country could give
00:55:23.940 workers enough leverage to make bold demands, influence elections, and fight Project 2025.
00:55:28.480 And if unions band together, the working class could move the needle on Medicare for All,
00:55:31.920 debt forgiveness, a shorter work week, and other key demands turning up the heat during
00:55:35.360 the 2028 presidential election.
00:55:38.260 The CTU and UAW are in talks to establish an institute to support collective organizing
00:55:42.300 for May Day, 2028.
00:55:43.480 so don't don't listen to me listen to them and understand that in their own words they are
00:55:50.220 planning a nationwide strike of every major union which will cripple the economy and they're
00:55:54.480 planning to do this for an indefinite period until they get their demands which include things like
00:55:58.180 universal health care this is a communist revolution they are planning it we could stop
00:56:02.880 it at any point the powers that be right now if they're sincere about wanting to stop communism
00:56:07.280 they need to first of all investigate and break up antifa and the communist foot soldiers
00:56:12.040 that are committing violence and organizing on their behalf to overthrow the United States
00:56:16.400 government. They need to deport immigrants that join communistic organizations. That's the law. 1.00
00:56:22.220 They need to enforce the Communist Control Act of 1954. But most importantly, they need to use 0.86
00:56:27.440 the power of the government to crack down on the excesses and exploitation of capitalism,
00:56:32.100 stop the private equity from buying up all the houses, stop private equity from taking money out
00:56:36.540 of the retirement funds and using it to bankrupt industries to line their own pockets. They need
00:56:41.020 to stop the offshoring, need to stop the H-1B visas, stop the offshoring of American jobs and 0.72
00:56:46.820 manufacturing overseas. They need to actually take tangible, effective steps to better the
00:56:53.040 prospects of the average young person in this country so they aren't motivated to go towards
00:56:56.840 communism. You need to give them a reason to believe in our system, not in capitalism, which
00:57:01.300 is a false god, a false dichotomy, a false opposition to communism and actually works
00:57:05.980 hand in hand with communism, but instead establish, reestablish and re-consecrate the
00:57:11.660 American belief that the American government should serve the American worker and stop the
00:57:16.480 excesses of capitalism, if for no other reason than to prevent the drive towards communism
00:57:20.780 that those excesses inspire. This is a real problem. This is a real issue. I'm glad to see
00:57:26.300 Trump and the Republicans talking about it. I'd really like to see them doing something to
00:57:30.000 effectively combat it, not just words, not just quips, an actual understanding of what's motivating
00:57:35.220 the drive to communism and tangible, effective steps to better the lives of the Americans to
00:57:39.440 create the contented workmen who won't just refuse to go communist. They'll fight with everything
00:57:44.420 they've got to prevent it from getting a foothold here in America. For Off Limits News, this is

00:58:12.060 either. See you next time. Thanks, guys. America will either have Christ or we'll have chaos.
00:58:20.480 For years, conservatives believe that Trump could reverse America's decline. But after Trump,
00:58:26.540 The right is now fractured, exhausted, and losing ground.
00:58:31.040 Endless infighting and electoral losses have exposed a deeper problem that politics alone cannot solve.
00:58:39.180 A nation that rejects Christ cannot be restored by mere personalities, grandstanding, or Christless conservatism.
00:58:49.180 So NXR Studios' first annual conference, America After Trump, brings together pastors, politicians,
00:58:58.000 commentators, and Christians that are committed to strength, cooperation, and a durable future
00:59:04.440 for the American right.
00:59:06.600 Complaining is not a strategy, and despair cannot be an option.
00:59:11.980 Christ is King.
00:59:13.380 Let's live like it.
00:59:19.180 Thank you.
