1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: It's a shame that many people do not spend the

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:04,919
time to dig into subjects like what we talk about

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:08,640
here about critical thinking, the history of America. And again,

4
00:00:08,679 --> 00:00:10,880
not to knock people, but I want your opinion on this.

5
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:13,560
I do some other speaking and in addition to the

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,920
space and astronomy and astronomical topics, but I do talk

7
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,559
about this subject and I'm amazed in some of the schools,

8
00:00:19,559 --> 00:00:21,320
and I'm going to get into books that you've written,

9
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,640
so aproposted the conversation that many of the young people

10
00:00:24,679 --> 00:00:27,879
and maybe even seniors and adults really have no idea

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,480
even describing who vice presidents are, who presidents are. That's

12
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,560
pretty strange, but how government works. So your response to that,

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,920
I mean, it's probably a no brainer for you to say, well, yeah,

14
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:40,880
that's common sense, stive, But tell us I find that

15
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:43,719
to be totally incredible, that civics are not really taught

16
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:46,359
the way they probably should and how they were in

17
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:46,799
the past.

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: Well, that's my design guy, and that has been one

19
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,520
of the big focuses on my work and my eight

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,399
books that I've written, three of them deal exclusively with

21
00:00:56,439 --> 00:00:59,600
the subject of education and what I discovered going on

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,719
years ago. Now is that the system was actually designed

23
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,879
to do this. It was designed to dumb down the population,

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,239
It was designed to erase our history. It was designed

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,760
to turn our young people away from God, away from

26
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:15,400
their families, away from their country, away from our constitution.

27
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,680
And I've got the receipts for that. I can prove that.

28
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:20,359
I can quote the primary source documents, the essays, and

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,799
the speeches of the men who built this system. And

30
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,040
there was essentially an uninterrupted chain going back to the

31
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,200
first guy who seriously proposed that the government ought to

32
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:32,519
be educating our children, all the way up to the

33
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,280
present day of people who recognize ucation system as the

34
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:41,959
primary weapon in the battle against freedom, in the battle

35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,239
against national sovereignty, in the battle against Christianity. And so

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,159
you started the beginning with Robert Owen. This was a

37
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,280
Welsh industrialist back late seventeen hundreds into the early eighteen

38
00:01:53,359 --> 00:01:56,480
hundreds who decided that he was going to declare war

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,680
on what he called the great trinity of evil, this

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,599
being marriage and family, private property, the institution of private property.

41
00:02:03,599 --> 00:02:05,640
Of course, Scott said, I shall not steal, and so

42
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,360
this also had to go. And last, but not least,

43
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,120
what he called irrational systems of religion. In particular, he

44
00:02:12,159 --> 00:02:15,840
was talking about Christianity. He set up a communist commune,

45
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,719
and he concluded that the best way to move society

46
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:23,319
and the direction that he envisioned, well, actually he openly

47
00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:26,000
claimed that he was talking to spirits of dead people.

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,319
They were giving him his ideas. But he believed that

49
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,159
the best way to move from where we were then

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,039
very Christian, very free, very liberty minded society, to where

51
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:37,759
he wanted to be a utopia where there would be

52
00:02:37,759 --> 00:02:39,840
no family, where children would be raised by the collective,

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,879
where there would be no private property. The best way

54
00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:46,680
to do this was to take control of the education

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,439
system using the force of government, and so he set

56
00:02:49,479 --> 00:02:52,039
up a secret society to do this. We have all

57
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,639
the records of that from detectors who came out of it,

58
00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:56,439
and well the rest is history.

59
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:59,439
Speaker 1: As they say, well it's interesting. We always pose a

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,360
question to our our audience far and wide on the

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Doctor Scout experience. In this particular episode in the theater,

62
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:08,919
we do discuss the story of American exceptionalism. How interesting

63
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,240
it is, Alec, and I don't think everybody thinks this way.

64
00:03:11,599 --> 00:03:14,599
All the great celebrations for our two fiftieth. Let it

65
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,400
not wane like a candle that loses its flame. We

66
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,759
keep it proud and we keep it strong here on

67
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,879
this particular show and this particular conversation with you. The

68
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,240
number here if you have a question. But more importantly,

69
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,479
here's our question to you. What do we need to

70
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,400
do to keep America on the same trail that truth?

71
00:03:31,599 --> 00:03:34,680
Justice in America, the concept that this radio station talks

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,039
about so much is alive and well in every day

73
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,680
in our thinking. From the plugens of allegiance that is

74
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:44,960
hardly done anymore, to again studying the Constitution and even

75
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,800
studying your right ladies and gentlemen, by a thing called

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,400
a citizen's rule book, a bill of rights, a jewelry handbook,

77
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:54,080
all things that you can explore to know your rights.

78
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,159
Because what Alex, I don't want to steal your thunder.

79
00:03:56,439 --> 00:03:58,680
If you don't know what rights you have, how can

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,759
you ever tell what rights that you lose? And his website,

81
00:04:01,759 --> 00:04:04,479
by the way, as we continue on this iteration of

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:09,840
discussing America in its exceptionalism, state Liberty Sentinel dot org

83
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,360
is one where as I mentioned before, he is the

84
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,800
senior editor of the New American magazine and another website

85
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,720
that we'll be talking about later on the New American

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,399
dot com website. I always wondered about this why, And

87
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,360
maybe I'm a little offbeat here. Maybe the audience can

88
00:04:28,399 --> 00:04:30,720
help me. Why is it or is it just an

89
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:35,560
imagination that I constantly hear democracy, democracy, democracy, when we really,

90
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,959
truly Alex and you can explain this better. I'm sure

91
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:42,240
we are a representative democracy. But whatever happened to the

92
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,920
true tenant that we are a constitutional republic? Why is

93
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:49,079
that democracy thing just been pounded into our heads and

94
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,560
the republic word? Why is it too much like republican?

95
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:54,240
Maybe that's a silly way to look at it. I

96
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,439
doubt that has valor.

97
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: Right well, our counting fathers were very clear and very

98
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,680
explosive that they were setting up a republican form of government,

99
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:05,279
and there's several ways to understand that, and they certainly

100
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,839
did include democratic elements within the structure of that constitutional republic.

101
00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:14,120
But they recognize democracy as a very dangerous form of government.

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,399
And before people freak out by hearing that, I think

103
00:05:16,439 --> 00:05:19,399
we need to explain some terms here what they understood

104
00:05:19,399 --> 00:05:21,839
by the term democracy. And James Madison, the father of

105
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,519
our Constitution articulates is very clearly in Federalists payper number ten.

106
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,680
He explains that this is a system in which the

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,240
majority essentially rules which town's appealing until you end up

108
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,839
in the minority. As you were realize you actually have

109
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,680
no rights. And so their idea was, we don't want

110
00:05:38,879 --> 00:05:42,040
mob rule. We don't want a system where fifty one

111
00:05:42,079 --> 00:05:46,000
percent of the people can rob or kill or oppress

112
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:50,160
the other forty nine percent. And so the key element

113
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,399
of a republic, of course, is the rule of law.

114
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:55,279
And they were very clear about these issues, right they

115
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,360
wrote about it extensively. Anybody who chooses to investigate these

116
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:01,839
things can find them out very quickly and very easily.

117
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,560
In fact, you can read the Constitution Article four guarantees

118
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,759
to every state in the Union a republican form of government,

119
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,439
in other words, of government based on the word law

120
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,000
rather than the rule of manness. And they were very

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,079
clear about the source of the law. They actually mentioned

122
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,680
in Declaration of Independence, which which is celebrated the twound

123
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,000
and fiftieth anniversary of they said that the laws of

124
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,439
nature and Nature's God, and unfortunately mentioned at all in

125
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,720
our government's full textbooks and the faith documentaries of air

126
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,360
on so many of the television channels. They portray that

127
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:36,839
as some sort of Gaist or Enlightenment era thinking or

128
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:40,360
even Masonic, when in reality it's a very clear reference

129
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:44,120
to the most cited legal scholar on the Founding era.

130
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,600
His name was Sir William Blaxton Christ, and he wrote

131
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,519
commentaries on the Laws of England, which is considered at

132
00:06:51,519 --> 00:06:53,600
the time and even some people today still consider it

133
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,879
to be the bedrock of American jurisprudence. What he explained

134
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,439
is the laws of nature and Nature's God are the

135
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,199
laws that God has ordained. It can be discerned by

136
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:05,319
studying creations, the physical laws and things like this, and

137
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,680
the moral laws that have been revealed in the scriptures.

138
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,120
And he says no laws that are contrary to those

139
00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:13,279
laws of Nature and Nature's God are of any validity.

140
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:15,680
And he says they are applicable to all people in

141
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:19,879
all nations, all times, everywhere on the globe. So these

142
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,879
things have meaning, and it's very easy to discover the meanings.

143
00:07:22,959 --> 00:07:24,920
They believe that God gave you a right to life

144
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:27,439
because he said that shout of murders. That means even

145
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,040
if ninety eight percent of the people vote to execute

146
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,600
you is too bad. God gave you a right to life,

147
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,759
and ninety eight percent of the people can go kick rocks.

148
00:07:35,319 --> 00:07:37,879
They believe you're right to property right.

149
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: I love hearing you, but I'm hoping no matter. We

150
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,720
don't want to lose you. So wherever you're standing on

151
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:45,360
your phone, don't go away because we don't want to

152
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,319
lose this great conversation with you, no fault of your own,

153
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,360
of course. Again, ladies and gentlemen, if you have concerns

154
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,560
and questions, I want to go to Alex Newman on

155
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,759
this one. If you had to pick the biggest, most

156
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:58,279
egregious thing that's going on in our country right now,

157
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,079
and I know there's probably a matter of many things,

158
00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:04,240
what would you say, from your journalism background and your

159
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,120
education and your authorship of books, what's the number one

160
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,399
concern for you that keeps you not awake at night

161
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:12,720
but keeps you focused on measure.

162
00:08:13,959 --> 00:08:16,399
Speaker 2: That's an easy one for me. That is the miseducation

163
00:08:16,759 --> 00:08:20,000
of the next generation. We can talk about the statistics

164
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,639
all day long, but according to the government, itself, less

165
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:25,519
than one in three victims of the government school system

166
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,959
or even proficient in any core subject that includes reading, writing, math, history,

167
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:34,200
civics right. Literally less than one in three of these children.

168
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,759
We spent two undred fifty thousand dollars a year supposedly

169
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,679
educating them. Millions of them graduate unable to read their

170
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,720
high school diplomas. Forty percent of them, according to the

171
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:48,559
CDC report, persistent hopelessness and depression. Ten percent reported trying

172
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,000
to kill themselves last year. According to the TEA said,

173
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,000
depending on what state you're in, somewhere, uppards of a

174
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,279
fourth of them don't even know what gender they are.

175
00:08:57,279 --> 00:08:59,080
They don't know what bathroom to go in. Hundreds of

176
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,519
thousands of them defying as cats. Almost twenty percent of

177
00:09:02,519 --> 00:09:07,440
them report sexual abuse and misconduct members. So we have

178
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:10,759
an existential crisis here. And I believe all these other

179
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:14,360
battles they're very important. At the border, the taxes, the politics,

180
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:17,879
all these are important issues. But if we've missed the

181
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,720
boat on the education issue, we're going to lose on

182
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:23,240
every other one. It's going to be a cataclysm. So

183
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,279
we've got to address this one. It's the most important.

184
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:25,879
In my opinion,
