00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:04.719
Attention. You're listening to the Tohuff
Radio show, America's home for Conservative not

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:09.119
Bitter talk radio. Be advised.
The content of this program has been documented

3
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:12.400
to prevents and even cure liberalism,
and listening they cause you to lean to

4
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:38.439
the right. Here's your Conservative but
not Bitterer host Tod Huff. A very

5
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:43.560
good morning, everybody. This is
Chris Dunham filling in for my dear friend

6
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:51.079
God Huff on the home of Conservative
Not Bidder. It's always a joy to

7
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:56.000
be asked by Todd to fill in
when he's off doing other things and rejuvenating

8
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:00.799
so he can be back with you
with new ideas and new concepts precepts.

9
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:07.120
I've always enjoyed filling infotad because of
the very nature of his topic and the

10
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.799
very nature of the title Conservative not
Bitter. Now. I'm a conservative,

11
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.000
I've been one for as long as
I can remember. But I'm also a

12
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.879
migrant to these year United States.
For those of you who have heard me

13
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:26.680
before and followed and tracked with me, you'll realize that I try to come

14
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:30.319
at it from more from the logic
than the feeling aspect of it, more

15
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:34.959
from fact than feeling, and being
a migrant of now almost thirty eight years

16
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.799
to these year United States. So
I have a different bent on things as

17
00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.719
they appear, as they seem as
they roll out. We are in an

18
00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:49.000
incredible battle at this stage, not
just for ideology, but probably the very

19
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:55.359
fate of the Republic lies in balance. So as we navigate over the next

20
00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:57.280
couple of days, He's asked me
to fill in for three days, so

21
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:01.439
there may be some overlap in the
shows ahead, but I'll try to keep

22
00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:07.680
each one distinct and tackle some issues
that are near and dear to my heart

23
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:13.280
that hopefully will engage you as well. As you listen to this information.

24
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:17.400
Sometimes that may become a rant or
a diatribe, so to speak. I'm

25
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.680
an apologist by training, a Christian
apologist. I travel the length and breadth

26
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:27.319
of this world defending the Christian faith. Within the confines of the academy.

27
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:32.919
I address people in political positions in
other countries, and deal with media,

28
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.919
arts, entertainment. Many years ago, Lauren Cunningham and Bill Bright, the

29
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:46.280
founders of Campus Crusade and Ywham,
respectively, came up with what was called

30
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:52.680
the Seven Mountains of Influence. Now
America is a Judeo Christian nation. There

31
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:57.560
is no stutter or stammer about that. We have tried to change some of

32
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:01.759
our bearings, and some try to
loose in some of our moorings by trying

33
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:07.919
to ask ourselves whether the founders were
deists and theists and all of that.

34
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:10.400
But up to the fifty six assigned
the Declaration, I think forty seven or

35
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.360
forty eight had some kind of a
church affiliation. So we're going to use

36
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:19.360
that as a foundation for some of
the moral things that I'm going to bring

37
00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:23.520
to you. But having said that, I wanted to begin with this whole

38
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:30.960
concept of the legality and the illegality
of people who are seeking a better life,

39
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:37.639
and the whole concept of whether we
as Christians need to be more welcoming,

40
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.240
need to be more discerning, we
as citizens need to be more secure

41
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.560
and guarded in our thought process.
And I'm going to speak to you from

42
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.879
the lens of an immigrant, one
who stood in line, one who actually

43
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.639
went through the process. Now,
the reason I gave the little bit of

44
00:03:54.639 --> 00:04:00.919
a backdrop in the fact that I'm
an evangelist by burden, but apologists by

45
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:06.439
training, is I always try to
follow the breadcrumbs of facts, and also

46
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:13.159
try to see if the trail of
money in some way influences decision making.

47
00:04:13.879 --> 00:04:16.000
Now, this is not an either
or, it's probably an end. Also,

48
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.879
as you will see that both sides
of the aisles seem to be complicit

49
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:27.600
in the wanting of large numbers of
people who are undocumented to flood this country.

50
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:30.000
Now, you can call it whatever
you want. You say, you

51
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:34.240
can call them illegal, because they're
human beings. You have to call them

52
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:40.199
displaced or misplaced or wanted or whatever. The bottom line is, when I

53
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.439
landed in the United States, I
was given a green card. The title

54
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.639
on it said resident alien, which
means everybody else with a non resident alien,

55
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:53.639
I guess. But the rules were
much more simple at that time.

56
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.720
But they were much more strict.
And by that I simply mean when I

57
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.160
landed in the Great State of New
York, which is a sham of what

58
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.120
it was back then. The Shining
City on the Hill that Ronald Reagan alluded

59
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:13.839
to and the new Colosses that was
emblazoned on the Statue of Liberty made reference

60
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:19.399
to New York is just a complete
it's complete mockery of what it was originally

61
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:25.000
supposed to be. That welcoming city
that gave the birth to so many dreams

62
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:29.600
and dreamers like me. But when
I landed in New York in nineteen eighty

63
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:33.040
six, and I'm trying to include
a lot so that you may have to

64
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.560
listen to it again, I guess. But when I landed in New York

65
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:43.040
in nineteen eighty six, something very
unusual, or probably something very distinct,

66
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.279
cut my eye. They were two
lines. One said citizens, the other

67
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:50.079
said others. Now, my bride, who was born in the United States

68
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:54.439
but raised in India, became a
citizen of the United States in India because

69
00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:58.480
she turned eighteen in India even though
she was born here, went through the

70
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.040
citizens line. She had an American. Now I went through the other line.

71
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.519
Now in my hand was my worldly
possessions. What were my worldly possessions?

72
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:12.360
Twenty dollars given to me as a
migrant in India, and eleven of

73
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.199
those I spent in Frankfurt. So
I landed in the United States with nine

74
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:16.839
bucks to my name. My wife
found out that she was laid off from

75
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:20.399
her job, but that may be
another story. Well, she went through

76
00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.800
the citizen line and was supposed to
collect our bags and then wait for me

77
00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:29.279
as I was processed. Yes,
there was a word called processed. Now

78
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.800
we use it for meat and other
things in processing plants, but apparently we

79
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:38.480
can't use it for people because it
is demeaning. But that new colossus emblazoned

80
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.879
on the Statue of Liberty, the
Mr. Lasar's sonnet sent me, you're

81
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.120
poor, You're tired, your huddle
masses yearning to breed free, the wretched

82
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.920
refuse of your teeming shore. For
those of us that left our frontiers and

83
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:55.480
came to this new land, that
wretched refuse was not an illusion or an

84
00:06:55.480 --> 00:07:00.680
illusion of any kind. We truly
were trying to escape some kind of hopelessness

85
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:05.000
and haplessness, to arrive in this
new frontier, the glittering city, the

86
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:09.879
posters of which we had in our
rooms, the landmarks of this great nation,

87
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:15.319
like Mount Rushmore and all the beacon
the welcome that this was the place

88
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:19.000
where dreams came true. Now,
as I sat in that dark room,

89
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.959
in that semi lit room that was
kind of gray, and the immigration officer

90
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.759
came in and asked me for my
documents. What were the documents? I

91
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.000
had to get a police clearance in
India before the United States Embassy in India

92
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.639
would even give me a visa application, leave alone a visa. I had

93
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.399
to get a medical clearance. I
had to get all kinds of clearances,

94
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.279
all kinds of certificates, X rays
that actually documented whether you were carrying any

95
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:47.839
communicable disease. And these were the
things I had in that room as the

96
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:51.720
man looked at my name and then
gently started writing out And I don't even

97
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.920
know if we had computers back then, but the process was tedious, it

98
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.720
was arduous. Well about an hour
and a half into this, the gentleman

99
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:01.560
asked me if I wanted a cup
of coffee, which I accepted, and

100
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.879
I thought to myself, Wow,
amidst all of this, they're being courteous.

101
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.759
They're being nice. You see,
I came from India, where people

102
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:11.399
didn't treat you that way. The
fact that there was a process, and

103
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.639
there was a system that actually worked
that allowed countless immigrants like me to come

104
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:22.000
into this nation legally and become productive
citizens right away was actually in play.

105
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:26.759
The shining City on the Hill that
Reagan talked about, the Great Ronald Reagan

106
00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.079
talked about, was actually just a
couple of hours away, because very soon

107
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.720
I was going to get through this
process. I knew I was legal.

108
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:35.440
I had done all the work,
I had all the paperwork. The embassy

109
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.320
in India said, so, so
what I was going through here was a

110
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:43.399
formality. Well, when my bride
knocked on that door, because she,

111
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.840
as a citizen, was now a
little appalled about the time it was taken

112
00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:50.559
for me to be released, the
gentleman looked at her and said, ma'am,

113
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.559
would just be a few more minutes. Everything is in order. Once

114
00:08:54.600 --> 00:09:00.279
we get this documented, the process
will be done. You will never have

115
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.720
to look over your shoulder again because
you have done it right. And you

116
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:07.840
will be or you will be a
proud resident of the Land of the Free

117
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:11.799
and the home of the brave.
Fast forward some years when I did get

118
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.799
my citizenship, and I was allowed
then to make some changes to the length

119
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:18.399
of my name, how I wanted
to be known as, and all of

120
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.799
that. And then you get to
sing the national anthem for the first time,

121
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:26.080
and then your trears flow down your
cheek because you realize the gratitude of

122
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:33.440
it all, the truth of this
ideal, this last bastion of freedom and

123
00:09:33.519 --> 00:09:39.159
opportunity, the only Eden this side
of heaven, America, truly a destination

124
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:46.080
that shining city on the hill that
welcomed thousands of immigrants that came from all

125
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:50.799
over the planet to make this their
home. Well, now I look back

126
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.679
all thirty eight years, thirty nine
years, pretty soon back, and I

127
00:09:54.720 --> 00:10:00.000
think to myself, In fact,
I landed in the United States on March

128
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.720
one of nineteen eighty six, so
we are tipping at that thirty eight year

129
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.639
point. I remember being in that
JFK airport. Well about earlier this week,

130
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.799
I was in that JFK airport again, a different terminal this time had

131
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:18.759
been added. Well, I was
flying in the front of the plane,

132
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.320
and more importantly, I had access
to a lounge. The lounge had free

133
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.840
breakfast. And as I looked at
all the other people standing in line in

134
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.000
immigration trying to get in, some
legal, some illegal, some with right

135
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.000
documents, some with forged documents,
I harken back to that day and the

136
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:41.600
words of that man. Do it
right the first time, do it right

137
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:46.679
the only time. Make sure that
even if you're trying to fleece something and

138
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.919
accept something, be honest about your
reasons for doing so, and this country

139
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:56.000
will be kind. Now the reason
everything is topsy turvy and right is wrong,

140
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.200
bad is good and white as black, so to speak, and you

141
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.440
can't stay tall or short or any
of those other things. I see that

142
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.519
we are now at a tipping point
of a complete reversal of those original ideals,

143
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:15.080
those original ideas. And if anybody
has the right to talk about this

144
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:18.879
in plain and simple terms, probably
I do, because I have lived the

145
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:22.639
American dream. I've become an author
along the process, and became an executive

146
00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:26.639
in a corporation. I owned another
company, I started a ministry. I've

147
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.480
been invited all over the globe since
that day I scared walk through JFK with

148
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.279
all my documents in my hand.
I've had the privilege of carrying an American

149
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.440
passport to over seventy five countries on
six continents. Truly an envy of the

150
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:48.960
world, that American passport, that
ego, that glorious creature that symbolizes freedom,

151
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:54.000
that soars above everything else and gives
us a standard that is so high,

152
00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:01.120
and an aspiration so true, and
a beauty so brilliant turned upside down

153
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:07.360
as you see images of people crowding
and squatting and living intents. When we

154
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.480
come back after the break, we'll
talk about this process and how we need

155
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.279
to accept it if there is a
republic to save. Remember, we are

156
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:22.519
still the last bastion of freedom and
opportunity, the only Eden the side of

157
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:26.799
heaven. More after the break,
Welcome back to your friends. This is

158
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.000
your humble host, Chris Dunham filling
in for my dear friend Todd huff on

159
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:37.799
the Home of Conservative Not Bitter.
In that first segment, I just gave

160
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.679
you a glimpse of my journey from
the rural part of India to these here

161
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:45.879
United States and hopefully gave you an
idea of what it was like all those

162
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:50.200
years ago to make that change.
Now, let's look at the reality of

163
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.679
where we are, the work that
we do, the privileges that we have.

164
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:56.759
I live in the great state of
Texas, which is a border state.

165
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:01.159
It has been in the news front
and center for a variety of reasons.

166
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.639
The governor of the state said enough
is enough, and we start deploying

167
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:11.120
then the resources that the state has
to protect itself. The federal government then

168
00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:15.799
steps in saying that, you know, immigration is a federal issue, it

169
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:20.080
is not a state issue. When
you go into the legality and the constitutionality

170
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.600
of it all, we all get
all flustered. About what is right and

171
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.960
what is wrong. Well, let
us go back to the very founding of

172
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.039
this nation. As an immigrant,
maybe a dumb one will tell you.

173
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.279
I e me that I always thought
that the legislative branch, the Congress,

174
00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:41.320
was the most powerful, the executive
was second, and the judicial was third.

175
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:46.759
Judicial was only supposed to enforce the
laws that were enacted by Congress and

176
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.120
sign into power by the executive.
But now we have completely relied on the

177
00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:56.519
courts for one side of it and
made sure that executive orders on the other

178
00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:01.279
side of it can overrule what the
courts do. So where does that leave

179
00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:05.720
you and me? Every four year
cycle people are fighting for their rights and

180
00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:11.080
hoping that their guy will do the
right thing or their gal will reverse the

181
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:16.919
wrong thing. That leaves the people
In the Declaration of Independence, where it

182
00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:22.440
says the rights are of the governed, that the rights of life, liberty,

183
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:28.399
and the pursuit of happiness those sacred, inalienable rights endowed to us by

184
00:14:28.399 --> 00:14:33.639
a creator God, which means those
that we elect in this Republic are considered

185
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:39.440
to be guardians of that sacred honor. They are supposed to stand in the

186
00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:43.240
halls of Congress and look at the
constituents they represent and say, am I

187
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:50.519
guarding their sacred honor? Or am
I using my power to usurp that decision

188
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.200
and make unilateral ideas about what I
think is right and wrong. Well,

189
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.200
if a twelve year old guy can
write award winning poetry in this country,

190
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:03.120
I guess an eighty year old man
can make decisions that are either good or

191
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.200
bad or indifferent. I don't think
it's an age issue, as some people

192
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.440
complain. I don't think it's a
gender issue, as some people complain.

193
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:16.799
I think it's a basic spitting in
the face of the ideals of what made

194
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.919
this nation so unique in the annals
of human history. Never before had it

195
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.879
been done that you go from a
total monarchy and a rule by a king

196
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:31.759
to complete independence, where the signing
of that declaration would amend death because it

197
00:15:31.840 --> 00:15:35.080
was treason. The wars that have
since been fought, both in this land

198
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:41.000
and other land, work for the
preservation of something that freedom, that democracy

199
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.159
that Thomas Jefferson and all of these
people wrote. Today, we are revising

200
00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:52.279
history because of the vilification. We
are judging people by the actions of a

201
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:58.120
few. We are enslaving large masses
of people to the ideology of that is

202
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:03.960
going to die the death of a
thousand qualifications. Every migrant group has its

203
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:10.840
own causleb Everyone wants to be heard. What have we made America? Since

204
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:15.399
then? We have got little pockets
of civilization that are representation of the countries

205
00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:19.399
that those people left, and for
some reason they chose to come here and

206
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:26.679
re enact that. We have completely
demoralized ourselves by taking society at face value

207
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.960
and saying I'm going to change the
face of society. In fact, some

208
00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:36.600
leaders ran on it. They call
it the fundamental transformation. Why it was

209
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.600
working well? Some people said,
as long as we have victims, we

210
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.480
will have a certain class of victors. And as this process goes through and

211
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.120
I hearken it back to the immigration
idea. Look at what has happened in

212
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:53.720
the last four or five years.
Large numbers of people, different demographics,

213
00:16:53.799 --> 00:17:00.240
different civic origins, different cultural bearings, escaping all kinds of patrocities. Some

214
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:06.480
came from total barbarism, some came
from religious zealotry. And they are just

215
00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:11.440
flooding the borders. They're crossing the
lines. Nobody is stopping them. In

216
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:17.640
the name of good. We have
an agencies that are actually providing food and

217
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:22.839
shelter because they say it is inhumane
to allow people to perish this way.

218
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.880
Yes, it is inhumane, But
where do we get that love from?

219
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:30.720
Who is the architect and is going
to design who to love, what to

220
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.480
love, how to love? Is
sovereignty as sin, our principles prejudiced,

221
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.960
our borders always bigoted. Yes,
on the streets of New York, you

222
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:45.519
will see protests today about whether you're
for the Israel issue or against the Palestine

223
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.680
issue. But just go south to
the border between Gaza and Egypt and ask

224
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:55.680
yourself why that is so fortified.
Go to the border between South Korea and

225
00:17:55.720 --> 00:18:00.640
North Korea and ask yourself why is
that fortification so important? Is the most

226
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:04.440
guarded parallel on earth. Go to
the border the line of control between India

227
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:08.839
and Pakistan and ask yourself why our
wars being fought and skirmish is being had.

228
00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:14.160
Yet people are not sneaking through by
the You may have one or two

229
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.359
get through every once in a while, a couple, maybe six get together

230
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.920
on a boat or a bus.
But five hundred six hundred, eight hundred

231
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.359
nine hundred, one thousand, four
thousand coming across the borders every day in

232
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:30.559
three and four and five states,
representing about one hundred and sixty countries.

233
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:36.519
The sociology of it never makes sense. This cannot all be for a good

234
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.400
life. If that was the case, people have been struggling since the beginning

235
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:45.640
of time. Asylum seekers have existed
when I stood in line. It just

236
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.920
so happens that now we have a
process which says we are fundamentally transforming it.

237
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:55.759
So we're going to look the other
way. This is not about immigration

238
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:00.480
that is legal or illegal. This
is not about asylum seekers. This is

239
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:03.839
folks. Look at the pictures history
since the beginning of time, since the

240
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:10.000
days of Alexander the Great, have
always had one image. If men and

241
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:14.279
women hold their belongings with them and
are going in a certain direction, they

242
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:18.640
are fleeing persecution, they are fleeing
war, They're fleeing famine, they are

243
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.519
fleeing genocide. And maybe they are
true asylum seekers just trying to get across

244
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:26.680
a border so the Red Cross will
meet them and give them asylumce somewhere.

245
00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:32.720
But if you see men standing by
themselves with their suitcase and an impeccable suit

246
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.880
and they say I'm from such part
of China, see men and women who

247
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:41.960
are carrying suitcases with their children are
often fleeing war. Just a man holding

248
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:45.720
a suitcase is usually an indication of
someone going to war. What is this

249
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:51.000
war that is on our horizon?
Now? I understand that if you're on

250
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:56.039
Twitter or x or you're on Facebook, you see rhetoric and you see community

251
00:19:56.119 --> 00:20:00.839
standards as people post all kinds of
inflammatory in you end. I'm not even

252
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:04.319
going to that point. I'm just
asking you to look in the very bottom

253
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:10.640
of your heart and ask yourself if
you are a true gung ho flag waving

254
00:20:10.720 --> 00:20:15.960
patriot. This is not about the
Amendments and how you refer to them.

255
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:19.880
This is not about the Constitution or
the Declaration of Independence or even the Bill

256
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:25.279
of Rights. It is none of
those things. It is just asking yourself,

257
00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:30.000
in basic civic decency. If I'm
a good person and I'm happily married,

258
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:33.960
and I go to work in the
morning, and I raise two children,

259
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:38.599
and I reject indoctrination, and I
reject any of the stupid ideologies that

260
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:44.319
come down the pike, why am
I considered the bigoted one, the prejudiced

261
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:48.799
one. Whereas the person who is
immoral, who has children from four different

262
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:56.839
fathers who raises them, and single
motherhood is glorified and live in absolute squalor,

263
00:20:56.359 --> 00:21:00.279
and yet they get rewarded over and
over again by a government. And

264
00:21:00.319 --> 00:21:03.960
I'm saying, wait a minute,
I work hard, I pay my taxes,

265
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:07.680
I do my due diligence. I'm
doing everything morally, I'm doing everything

266
00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:11.000
legitimately. I'm doing everything you asked
me to do to the letter of the

267
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.200
law. Yet I am considered the
villain. And the people who are doing

268
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:23.680
everything illegally, everything immorally, everything
unsavory are considered the victors, and they

269
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:29.200
consider the victims, and somehow I'm
considered the person who is the persecutor.

270
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.759
Where has this changed, folks?
We are now past this process called legal

271
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:38.799
and illegal immigration. The word that
some people are using is an invasion.

272
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:45.119
While the rhetoric around the word and
free invasion may sound strong because it seems

273
00:21:45.160 --> 00:21:49.799
like okay, on the heels of
an invasion will come in occupation. Ask

274
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:56.000
yourself if that's what's happening. When
governments turn to their own people and say,

275
00:21:56.039 --> 00:22:00.799
we don't have money for the bolder
that sanctifies and protects you sovereignty,

276
00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:04.039
but we are going to invest it
in the people who violate that sovereignty.

277
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.119
There is a second thing coming,
and maybe that's what we need to be

278
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.960
focused on when we come back after
the break, Well dissect this some more.

279
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:19.160
Hope you're enjoying this anthropological journey.
Well, greetings, and welcome back

280
00:22:19.240 --> 00:22:25.720
to the Todd Huff Show, the
home of Conservative not Bitter. This is

281
00:22:25.799 --> 00:22:29.799
your guest host Chris Dunham, filling
in for my dear friend Todd Huff.

282
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.559
I always appreciate him giving me cart
blanche to talk about whatever is near it

283
00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.359
And dear to my heart, many
of you who send me emails and text

284
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:42.119
messages after these shows air do warm
my heart saying that you like the way

285
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:48.440
I take connect history and the other
components of it. For those of you

286
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.759
who want to follow me, I'm
not on any social media except LinkedIn,

287
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:56.960
kindly join me there. The name
is Chris Krish Dunham D H A N

288
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.799
A M. Chris Dunham. I
have a YouTube channel where you can go

289
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:06.920
and see some of my other lengthier
discourses. I guess that cover the gamut.

290
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:11.200
I'm primarily a social commentator. I'm
trained as a Christian apologist. I

291
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.599
took on the moniker of being a
corporate evangelist and a global evangelist. I

292
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:21.839
travel around the world representing my foundation
and my company. Most recently, in

293
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:26.319
January, I had the privilege of
being in Tirana in Albania, Prague in

294
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.480
the Czech Republic, and Rome in
Italy, then England, and then soon

295
00:23:30.519 --> 00:23:33.920
after I came back and went to
India, where I was in a couple

296
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:37.160
of cities. It's not unnatural to
find me in different parts of the world

297
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.119
doing the same thing. But when
I'm in America, I try to deal

298
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:45.240
with the issues of the truth that
is exclusive to all of us. And

299
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:51.000
today we are tackling the issue of
immigration through the lens of a legal immigrant.

300
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:53.880
I gave my story in the first
session. I gave you a little

301
00:23:53.920 --> 00:24:00.440
more introduction to where we are.
This whole word that is being tossed around

302
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:06.000
call invasion. Now, the irony
of ironies is when you look at that

303
00:24:06.119 --> 00:24:08.920
state of New York that I entered
in nineteen eighty six with nine dollars to

304
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:15.200
my name and a little trepidation in
my heart. Today they say that if

305
00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:21.519
you come into that country or in
that city within that state, and you

306
00:24:21.599 --> 00:24:26.839
are someone who has come here illegally, and you're seeking asylum. I don't

307
00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:30.400
know what that means. Everybody cannot
be seeking asylum in the world. If

308
00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:33.920
that's the case, all countries would
empty out and only the good ones would

309
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.440
have them. For that, we
need to look at one country in Western

310
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.880
Europe and one in Eastern Europe I
e. Poland and Hungary and see to

311
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:45.279
yourself why they're secure, why their
GDP is so high post COVID, and

312
00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:49.519
why they are having a good time
in no security issues. They don't have

313
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:53.559
mass riots on the street, they
don't have looting going on in their stores.

314
00:24:53.599 --> 00:25:00.039
They don't have these swaths of people
who come from different backgrounds assaulting the

315
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.519
locals demanding rights like they are in
Italy, saying, hey, the food

316
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:07.920
is not adequate enough, it seems
to be cold, the rooms are not

317
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:11.480
heated. Well, here's a news
flash. If you escaped the Congo and

318
00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:15.680
ended up somehow on a boat and
landed in Italy, I don't think you

319
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:22.000
have now right to complain against anything. The only reason you would complain if

320
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:27.160
someone was behind that entire journey orchestrated
it, financed it. Filled your head

321
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.279
with a whole bunch of junk as
to what you need to do when you

322
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.759
arrive in this new frontier. In
the past, when someone crossed a boader

323
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:40.279
because they were seeking asylum, they
were at the mercy of people. Go

324
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:44.319
back to the years of nineteen oh
five and nineteen oh six, when they

325
00:25:44.359 --> 00:25:47.839
were ships as far as the eye
could see in the harbor in New York

326
00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:52.920
and five thousand to six thousand people
were being processed today and they were just

327
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.319
asked one question, are you healthy? They did a health check, and

328
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.519
then they were sent somewhere, and
then you began your journey. If you

329
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.160
had someone on the other side capable
of giving you a little hand up that

330
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:08.000
work. If not, you busted
your back on the docks and you worked

331
00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:11.559
your way through the ranks. That's
what it was like when I came here.

332
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.240
You started minimum wage. People didn't
give you a pass if your language

333
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.920
was suspect or your renunciation on your
pronunciation was thing. Everything, did not

334
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:25.119
have a support group, and suddenly
you were not the weakling that society was

335
00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:27.799
going to turn over on its back. That's where we are today. These

336
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.240
people have left their land and their
homes and their families, and they have

337
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.240
trekked across mountains and done treacherous journeys
to cross the border and get into this

338
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:41.319
country. And what do we do
here. The first thing we do is

339
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:47.079
take away the dignity of labor.
The first thing we do is take away

340
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:49.920
the dignity of labor. In my
book The American Dream from an Indian Heart,

341
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:53.960
I wrote this statement, We're not
cheap, We're not poor. We're

342
00:26:55.000 --> 00:27:00.079
too cheap to afford the once available
commodity of dignity. We have little ransacked

343
00:27:00.079 --> 00:27:04.839
the sellers of human pride and looted
the morals that formed the fabric of a

344
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:11.000
responsible people. What we are doing
to these people is almost the worst thing

345
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:15.519
you can do to a person who
is fleeing, be it asylum, be

346
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.039
it political, be it religious,
be it genocide. Whatever they're fleeing,

347
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.599
the worst thing you can do to
them is give them more than you would

348
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.319
give to the locals, fill their
cards with needs, and say we are

349
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.880
a welcoming people. Folks. The
jig is up. If you're telling me

350
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:36.640
that you're looking into an inner city
in Baltimore or an inner city in Chicago

351
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.720
and seeing the plight of the locals
there who have already faced incredible hardships.

352
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:48.240
When you look at your own populace
of veterans sleeping in tents in cities like

353
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:52.799
San Francisco and Los Angeles, and
you look past them and their need,

354
00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.720
and you go to the people who
are getting off a bus and don't speak

355
00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:02.240
the language, and you're flying them
across the country in planes that I seemed

356
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:06.279
to sit in and pay eight hundred
dollars for. But somebody is putting the

357
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:10.640
bill for these people to get to
these places where then the city government is

358
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.759
saying, I'm going to give you
a thousand dollar card. Nobody gave me

359
00:28:12.799 --> 00:28:17.440
a thousand dollar card when I landed
here. When I got to the airport

360
00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:19.519
in Delhi, I had all my
worldly possessions and I was going to change

361
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.599
it for dollars, and a dollar
was only ten rupiece at that time.

362
00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:26.759
I thought in the exchange, I'd
get a couple of thousand dollars, and

363
00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.279
the guy said, no, on
a one hour, one visa, you

364
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:33.599
get twenty bucks. So dutifully and
legally I left all my money in India,

365
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:37.119
and I landed in New York with
twenty buve and Frankfurt with twenty,

366
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:41.000
and then New York with nine.
My bride was laid off from her job.

367
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.960
I'm not pleading with you in any
kind of thing, but that taught

368
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.640
me a savvy It taught me a
hunger. As Les Brown would say,

369
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.519
minimum wage was three dollars and thirty
five cents an hour. And I remember

370
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:56.559
what mister Zigler said when he talked
about the immigrants' attitude of yesteryear. Flipping

371
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.799
burgers is what you do. It's
not who you are. It's a stepping

372
00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:03.559
stone. Most of the people who
own the franchises today, and I know

373
00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:07.200
people who want large numbers of the
Jack in the Box franchises and the other

374
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:11.319
franchises like Taco Bell and all.
And most of them started as fry cooks

375
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.359
there and eventually bought the franchise.
And I know one person who own hundreds

376
00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:19.880
of them. Where is that dignity
gone? We are robbing people of the

377
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:26.279
dignity of labor by not teaching them
what the value of money is. Flooding

378
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.880
a city is one thing, Replacing
people because of your ideology is another.

379
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:36.880
But giving them money to live whichever
way they want is sacracent. I mean

380
00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:41.640
that is almost sacrilege. I think
you're doing them a greater disservice as you're

381
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.480
raising a generation of people who are
used to getting stuff instead of giving.

382
00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:52.680
As we come back in the next
segment and we begin to wrap up today's

383
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.640
show, I hope you understand where
I'm going with this process, because next

384
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:03.279
we're going to talk about how opportunity
appears if you remove dignity of labor.

385
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:11.799
More after the break, Welcome back
to Conservative Not Bitter, The Todd Huff

386
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:15.559
Radio Show. Thank you to my
dear friend Todd Huff for allowing me to

387
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:19.359
sit behind his microphone. This is
your humble immigrant host, Chris Dunham,

388
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.319
coming to you from Dallas, Texas. I'm recording in my house this morning,

389
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:26.279
so you'll be hearing it later.
But someone walked by and said that,

390
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.720
Wow, you're really passionate early in
the morning. I guess when the

391
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.480
subject is near to your heart.
Even though all these decades have passed,

392
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:38.079
you still ask yourself what would have
been different had I landed in New York

393
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.359
at that time and the guy said, Hey, do you speak English?

394
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.119
Can I get you some other language? And they begin down this process of

395
00:30:45.160 --> 00:30:51.000
saying, I'm going to lower standards
to accommodate you folks. Let me tell

396
00:30:51.039 --> 00:30:56.079
you something about the American dream.
The American dream from Andrew Carnegie down was

397
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.200
always based on aspiration. Andrew Carnegie, and whether it's true or not,

398
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:06.200
the first, one of the first
millionaires this country produced, is purported to

399
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:10.000
have been asked one time how he
had forty three millionaires working for him,

400
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.400
and he said, when they came
to work for me, they were not

401
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.839
millionaires. I made them millionaires.
So the query pray tell is how do

402
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.359
you make people millionaires? And his
answer, whether it's myth or true,

403
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:23.119
is actually one for the ages.
If we'll just learn from the wisdom of

404
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.440
the response. He says, you
develop people the same way you mind for

405
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.480
gold. When you go in to
mind for gold, you have to move

406
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:34.079
tons of dirt to get an ounce
of gold. But the objective of the

407
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:38.440
exercise is never the dirt. It's
the ounce of gold. And when you

408
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:44.200
listen to the stories of yesteryear,
like those stories or the Horatio Algae stories

409
00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:49.599
that were told about people who had
great success. Thomas Edison when his labs

410
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:52.880
burned in West Orange, New Jersey, and people say, how does it

411
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.759
feel to have your life's work destroyed? He said, for the first time

412
00:31:56.759 --> 00:32:00.000
in my life, all my mistakes
are burned. That creates an optimism and

413
00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:06.799
a dignity of hope and aspiration.
That was the words of Ronald Reagan when

414
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:10.680
he talked about a nation and unified
it and galvanized it. Even the words

415
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:15.839
hope and change brought about a much
needed breather in a country that was so

416
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:21.559
fractured. But the reason that hope
and change fell apart so quickly is hope

417
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:25.759
can only happen if this gratitude as
a foundation. If you're trying to build

418
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.039
hope by trying to eradicate everything this
country has stood for, very soon they

419
00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:35.480
will not be a foundation to build. That's why Henry David Therowance said,

420
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:37.160
we all want to build castles in
the air, none of us want to

421
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:44.000
build foundations on the ground. America's
foundation is eroding because the foundation of hard

422
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:50.400
work, dignity, respects civic responsibility, the goal that we are all entitled

423
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:57.640
to these unalienable rights, inalienable rights, remember life and liberty. But happiness

424
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:01.599
was the only one that had a
qualifier persus it was not guaranteed. My

425
00:33:01.759 --> 00:33:06.680
mentor, mister Zigler, always said, happiness depends on happenings. But joy

426
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:12.240
is undiluted. It's unadulterated, it's
pure. Where has the joy gone of

427
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:17.720
being a flag waving American patriot today? Our reason for patriotism is almost to

428
00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:23.480
stop the tide of the other side. We see barricades on one side,

429
00:33:23.599 --> 00:33:29.119
we see protests on the other side, and the reason for our anger and

430
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:34.680
our justified demonstration is because we don't
want the other side to gain any more

431
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:39.559
ground. But the ebb and tide
of human history is just that unless we

432
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:45.200
have that fundamental joy, that sovereignty
in our hearts, that this is a

433
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:51.640
republic worth's saving because it was formed
under the grandest and grandiose ideals. It

434
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.759
is the only place on planet Earth
where you can probably say there is one

435
00:33:54.839 --> 00:34:00.759
person from every other principality and municipality
that is recognized by the United Nations.

436
00:34:00.839 --> 00:34:07.279
What makes United States so great?
What makes it so unique? Well,

437
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.079
let's assume that the whole world hates
her. If that's the case, why

438
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:15.480
are three point five five million people
crossing borders and risking life and limb to

439
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:20.559
get here. What is it that
they despise so much that they want to

440
00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:24.199
come and become a part of that
transformation? Is what you need to ask

441
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:29.400
yourself and when you do that,
you begin to realize we have now gone

442
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:34.480
past sociology. We have now gone
past psychology. We have even now gone

443
00:34:34.480 --> 00:34:39.079
past the physiology of our actions.
We now come to the profitability motive.

444
00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:47.039
Who benefits by this great reset?
Who benefits by these alarmist attitudes? Now

445
00:34:47.079 --> 00:34:52.079
Todde talked about this ad nauseum over
the years that I have known him.

446
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:55.840
But when you look at the issue
of climate and they call it an alarming

447
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:01.760
crisis, nobody talks about abortion with
this alarming crisis. Yes, it is

448
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:07.079
right to kill someone else's child half
a world away in a war that you're

449
00:35:07.119 --> 00:35:09.679
willing to fund, but you won't
talk about it when it's killing Here,

450
00:35:09.840 --> 00:35:15.320
it's moral, it's right, it's
my responsibility, it's my body. But

451
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:20.639
somewhere else it's immorl that's because we
have now been told that there is no

452
00:35:20.760 --> 00:35:25.239
objective standard, there is no objective
morality. And as a result, what

453
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:31.079
we have creating is this subjective lesfe
attitude. My heart believes it, my

454
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:35.320
head accepts it. You better approve
it, and you better applaud it.

455
00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.320
If you stand in the way of
what I feel, what I think,

456
00:35:37.480 --> 00:35:45.320
how I imagine, then you're bigoted
and prejudiced. Thus arises the cancel culture.

457
00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:51.800
That is why we are where we
are, petrified, stupefied, vilified,

458
00:35:52.280 --> 00:35:59.280
and objectified. We stand on the
sidelines as the precipice this chasm with

459
00:35:59.480 --> 00:36:04.719
a great nation to have ever graced
planet Earth in the history of civilization.

460
00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:09.639
That can boast that, in a
very short time went from relative anonymity and

461
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:17.559
complete occupation by a monarchy to absolute
freedom in putting a man on the moon.

462
00:36:19.519 --> 00:36:24.280
That nation is now very very close
to having its own people who believe

463
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:31.039
its ideals, who subscribe to its
very tenets of hope, dignity, labor,

464
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:39.639
loyalty, love, respect, discipline, hard work, tenacity, charity,

465
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:49.199
contribution, faith, All of these
jettisoned, jettisoned in the ash heap

466
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:58.079
of doubt, jettisoned by redefining moral
law, jettison by saying a moral law

467
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:01.920
that comes from a moral law giver
is got to be prejudiced. How can

468
00:37:01.960 --> 00:37:08.639
a loving God has been changed to
if God was here, would he do

469
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:15.480
this man becoming God playing his own
God. Well, when we come back

470
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.880
tomorrow and pick up on a different
part of history, I hope you look

471
00:37:20.920 --> 00:37:24.079
at what I shared with you today, go back and review your own journey.

472
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:31.079
Ask yourself at what point you were
suddenly made a bystander. Now,

473
00:37:31.079 --> 00:37:36.000
I'm not talking about going and being
a rabble rouser and doing anything, but

474
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:40.000
just having the common sense. I
engage in dialogue with a lot of people,

475
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:44.800
and most of the times I do
it with the civility of arguing.

476
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:47.719
But when I do the argument,
my goal is never to win the argument.

477
00:37:47.960 --> 00:37:51.920
When we come back in the last
segment, we'll finish up this thought.

478
00:37:52.719 --> 00:38:00.559
Stay tuned, welcome back to the
closing segment, and today will end

479
00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:05.280
this by reading a Creed by Steve
Turner. We believe in max Freud and

480
00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:07.760
Darwin. We believe everything is okay
as long as you don't hurt anyone to

481
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:10.719
the best of your definition of hurt
and to the best of your knowledge.

482
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.239
We believe in sex before, during, and after marriage. We believe in

483
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:19.480
the therapy of sin. We believe
that adultery is fun. We believe that

484
00:38:19.519 --> 00:38:22.280
taboo's at taboo. We believe that
everything's getting better despite evidence of the contrary.

485
00:38:22.320 --> 00:38:25.599
The evidence must be investigated, and
you can prove anything with evidence.

486
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:30.360
We believe there's something in horoscopes UFOs
and ben Spoons. Jesus was a good

487
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:32.559
man, just like Buddha, Mohammad
and ourselves. He was a good moral

488
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:36.079
teacher, though we think his good
morals were bad. We believe that all

489
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:38.360
religions are basically the same, at
least the ones that we read were.

490
00:38:39.039 --> 00:38:43.320
They all believe in love and goodness. They only differ on matters of creation,

491
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.079
heaven, hells, God, and
salvation. We believe that after death

492
00:38:46.079 --> 00:38:50.079
comes nothing, because when you ask
the dead what happens, they say nothing.

493
00:38:50.719 --> 00:38:52.920
If death is not the end,
if the dead have died, then

494
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:55.480
it's compulsory heaven for all, except
perhaps Hitler, Stalin and Genghis Khan.

495
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.840
We believe in Masters and Johnson.
What's selected as average? What average is

496
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:02.400
no normal? What's normal is good. We believe in total disarmament. We

497
00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:07.360
believe there are direct links between warfare
and bloodshed. Americans should beat their guns

498
00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.639
and detractors, and the Russians would
be sure to follow. We believe that

499
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:14.000
man is essentially good. It's only
his behavior that lets him down. This

500
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:16.159
is the fault of society. Society
is the fault of conditions. Conditions of

501
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:20.000
the fault of society. Believe that
each man must find the truth that is

502
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:23.239
right for him. Reality will adapt
accordingly, the universe will readjust, history

503
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.880
will alter. We believe that there
is no absolute truth except the truth that

504
00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:31.440
there is no absolute truth. We
believe in the evolution of creeds and the

505
00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:36.639
flowering of individual thought. And then
the PostScript, if chance be the father

506
00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:38.480
of all flesh disasters, is rainbow
in the sky. And when you hear

507
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:43.280
a state of emergency, sniper kills, ten troops on rampage, whiteskull looting,

508
00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:46.199
bomb blast school, it is but
the sound of man worshiping his maker.

509
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:52.039
More tomorrow when we come back.
Until then, good luck and God bless
