Speaker 1: It's a shame that many people do not spend the
time to dig into subjects like what we talk about
here about critical thinking, the history of America. And again,
not to knock people, but I want your opinion on this.
I do some other speaking and in addition to the
space and astronomy and astronomical topics, but I do talk
about this subject and I'm amazed in some of the schools,
and I'm going to get into books that you've written,
so aproposted the conversation that many of the young people
and maybe even seniors and adults really have no idea
even describing who vice presidents are, who presidents are. That's
pretty strange, but how government works. So your response to that,
I mean, it's probably a no brainer for you to say, well, yeah,
that's common sense, stive, But tell us I find that
to be totally incredible, that civics are not really taught
the way they probably should and how they were in
the past.
Speaker 2: Well, that's my design guy, and that has been one
of the big focuses on my work and my eight
books that I've written, three of them deal exclusively with
the subject of education and what I discovered going on
years ago. Now is that the system was actually designed
to do this. It was designed to dumb down the population,
It was designed to erase our history. It was designed
to turn our young people away from God, away from
their families, away from their country, away from our constitution.
And I've got the receipts for that. I can prove that.
I can quote the primary source documents, the essays, and
the speeches of the men who built this system. And
there was essentially an uninterrupted chain going back to the
first guy who seriously proposed that the government ought to
be educating our children, all the way up to the
present day of people who recognize ucation system as the
primary weapon in the battle against freedom, in the battle
against national sovereignty, in the battle against Christianity. And so
you started the beginning with Robert Owen. This was a
Welsh industrialist back late seventeen hundreds into the early eighteen
hundreds who decided that he was going to declare war
on what he called the great trinity of evil, this
being marriage and family, private property, the institution of private property.
Of course, Scott said, I shall not steal, and so
this also had to go. And last, but not least,
what he called irrational systems of religion. In particular, he
was talking about Christianity. He set up a communist commune,
and he concluded that the best way to move society
and the direction that he envisioned, well, actually he openly
claimed that he was talking to spirits of dead people.
They were giving him his ideas. But he believed that
the best way to move from where we were then
very Christian, very free, very liberty minded society, to where
he wanted to be a utopia where there would be
no family, where children would be raised by the collective,
where there would be no private property. The best way
to do this was to take control of the education
system using the force of government, and so he set
up a secret society to do this. We have all
the records of that from detectors who came out of it,
and well the rest is history.
Speaker 1: As they say, well it's interesting. We always pose a
question to our our audience far and wide on the
Doctor Scout experience. In this particular episode in the theater,
we do discuss the story of American exceptionalism. How interesting
it is, Alec, and I don't think everybody thinks this way.
All the great celebrations for our two fiftieth. Let it
not wane like a candle that loses its flame. We
keep it proud and we keep it strong here on
this particular show and this particular conversation with you. The
number here if you have a question. But more importantly,
here's our question to you. What do we need to
do to keep America on the same trail that truth?
Justice in America, the concept that this radio station talks
about so much is alive and well in every day
in our thinking. From the plugens of allegiance that is
hardly done anymore, to again studying the Constitution and even
studying your right ladies and gentlemen, by a thing called
a citizen's rule book, a bill of rights, a jewelry handbook,
all things that you can explore to know your rights.
Because what Alex, I don't want to steal your thunder.
If you don't know what rights you have, how can
you ever tell what rights that you lose? And his website,
by the way, as we continue on this iteration of
discussing America in its exceptionalism, state Liberty Sentinel dot org
is one where as I mentioned before, he is the
senior editor of the New American magazine and another website
that we'll be talking about later on the New American
dot com website. I always wondered about this why, And
maybe I'm a little offbeat here. Maybe the audience can
help me. Why is it or is it just an
imagination that I constantly hear democracy, democracy, democracy, when we really,
truly Alex and you can explain this better. I'm sure
we are a representative democracy. But whatever happened to the
true tenant that we are a constitutional republic? Why is
that democracy thing just been pounded into our heads and
the republic word? Why is it too much like republican?
Maybe that's a silly way to look at it. I
doubt that has valor.
Speaker 2: Right well, our counting fathers were very clear and very
explosive that they were setting up a republican form of government,
and there's several ways to understand that, and they certainly
did include democratic elements within the structure of that constitutional republic.
But they recognize democracy as a very dangerous form of government.
And before people freak out by hearing that, I think
we need to explain some terms here what they understood
by the term democracy. And James Madison, the father of
our Constitution articulates is very clearly in Federalists payper number ten.
He explains that this is a system in which the
majority essentially rules which town's appealing until you end up
in the minority. As you were realize you actually have
no rights. And so their idea was, we don't want
mob rule. We don't want a system where fifty one
percent of the people can rob or kill or oppress
the other forty nine percent. And so the key element
of a republic, of course, is the rule of law.
And they were very clear about these issues, right they
wrote about it extensively. Anybody who chooses to investigate these
things can find them out very quickly and very easily.
In fact, you can read the Constitution Article four guarantees
to every state in the Union a republican form of government,
in other words, of government based on the word law
rather than the rule of manness. And they were very
clear about the source of the law. They actually mentioned
in Declaration of Independence, which which is celebrated the twound
and fiftieth anniversary of they said that the laws of
nature and Nature's God, and unfortunately mentioned at all in
our government's full textbooks and the faith documentaries of air
on so many of the television channels. They portray that
as some sort of Gaist or Enlightenment era thinking or
even Masonic, when in reality it's a very clear reference
to the most cited legal scholar on the Founding era.
His name was Sir William Blaxton Christ, and he wrote
commentaries on the Laws of England, which is considered at
the time and even some people today still consider it
to be the bedrock of American jurisprudence. What he explained
is the laws of nature and Nature's God are the
laws that God has ordained. It can be discerned by
studying creations, the physical laws and things like this, and
the moral laws that have been revealed in the scriptures.
And he says no laws that are contrary to those
laws of Nature and Nature's God are of any validity.
And he says they are applicable to all people in
all nations, all times, everywhere on the globe. So these
things have meaning, and it's very easy to discover the meanings.
They believe that God gave you a right to life
because he said that shout of murders. That means even
if ninety eight percent of the people vote to execute
you is too bad. God gave you a right to life,
and ninety eight percent of the people can go kick rocks.
They believe you're right to property right.
Speaker 1: I love hearing you, but I'm hoping no matter. We
don't want to lose you. So wherever you're standing on
your phone, don't go away because we don't want to
lose this great conversation with you, no fault of your own,
of course. Again, ladies and gentlemen, if you have concerns
and questions, I want to go to Alex Newman on
this one. If you had to pick the biggest, most
egregious thing that's going on in our country right now,
and I know there's probably a matter of many things,
what would you say, from your journalism background and your
education and your authorship of books, what's the number one
concern for you that keeps you not awake at night
but keeps you focused on measure.
Speaker 2: That's an easy one for me. That is the miseducation
of the next generation. We can talk about the statistics
all day long, but according to the government, itself, less
than one in three victims of the government school system
or even proficient in any core subject that includes reading, writing, math, history,
civics right. Literally less than one in three of these children.
We spent two undred fifty thousand dollars a year supposedly
educating them. Millions of them graduate unable to read their
high school diplomas. Forty percent of them, according to the
CDC report, persistent hopelessness and depression. Ten percent reported trying
to kill themselves last year. According to the TEA said,
depending on what state you're in, somewhere, uppards of a
fourth of them don't even know what gender they are.
They don't know what bathroom to go in. Hundreds of
thousands of them defying as cats. Almost twenty percent of
them report sexual abuse and misconduct members. So we have
an existential crisis here. And I believe all these other
battles they're very important. At the border, the taxes, the politics,
all these are important issues. But if we've missed the
boat on the education issue, we're going to lose on
every other one. It's going to be a cataclysm. So
we've got to address this one. It's the most important.
In my opinion,
