We still I still have a 10 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,119 lot of messages to get through, and we had some 11 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:40,119 phone calls from people throughout the last two hours, some 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,159 you know, not so great, having a hard time coming 13 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,520 up with some sort of excuse to rationalize this and 14 00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:50,439 why people on the rights, we're just making too much 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,359 out of this assassination of Charlie Kirk, a man with 16 00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:57,520 somebody pointed out on the text line eighty five million followers. 17 00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,359 It was a very public figure. He was a person 18 00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:05,400 engaged in the political debate in the arena. He was 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,159 shot from distance at two hundred yards roughly from a 20 00:01:09,239 --> 00:01:13,120 rooftop by a gunman who laid in wait for him 21 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:21,359 and according to law enforcement, had etchings or markings on 22 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:30,519 the AMMO of transgender slogans and anti fascism slogans, or 23 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,280 as CNN called it, cultural sayings. That's what they identified 24 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,239 it as. There was a news conference apparently scheduled for 25 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,840 twelve forty five Utah time, which would have been about 26 00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:46,760 fifteen minutes ago our time, but it was postponed due 27 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:53,120 to quote rapid developments. So hopefully they caught him or her. 28 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,799 I don't want him misgender. Actually, I will let me 29 00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:00,480 go over and get Joe on real quick. Hello, Joe, 30 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:01,799 welcome to the program. 31 00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:08,759 Speaker 2: Hey man, Yeah, your last done in the head that 32 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,919 was screaming and hollering about this wasn't political. I mean, 33 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,520 like you just said, how do you You're known by 34 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:22,919 eighty five million people on social media followers and it's 35 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,879 because you're a conservative Republican and that's what you do 36 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,280 for a living, and it's not political. I just I 37 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,599 don't get it. And your definition of assassiation a public figure, well, 38 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,319 I don't know, you get more of a public figure 39 00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:42,639 besides the president. Let's got eighty five million followers. I 40 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,159 don't you know? 41 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: Again, just not rational, right, it's trying to search for 42 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,800 an excuse to minimize and dismiss the importance. And honestly, 43 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,000 I am encouraged by that kind of reaction that I 44 00:02:55,039 --> 00:02:58,639 have heard from sort of the usual suspect callers that 45 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,800 we've gotten today. I'm encouraged because there is no argument 46 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,280 that they are making that is cogent or coherent. There 47 00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:12,680 yet you yet, they know how bad this is, because 48 00:03:13,159 --> 00:03:18,199 they have just red pilled millions and millions of people 49 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,680 and that may never look at a Democrat to vote 50 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,039 forever again. 51 00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: Ever, Yeah, because I mean it's just it's we're getting 52 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,039 sick and tired of this. I mean, I don't have it. 53 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,479 Like Russia used to say, they can't win on the 54 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,800 in the UH, in the debate of ideas, right, they 55 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,879 have to stack the court, they have to cheat on 56 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,960 UH elections, and now they've got to kill people because 57 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,879 they're losing. They can't they can't win on their on 58 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,599 the merits. 59 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Leftism at its core is always about envy and force, yes, always, 60 00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:56,000 I mean that's what Marxism is and so. 61 00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:58,919 Speaker 2: Exactly, I mean that's what the Castro was. Oh, you know, 62 00:03:58,919 --> 00:04:01,879 we're going to give you more of the rich people. 63 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,080 You know, they're horrible, blah blah blah blah blah. Well, 64 00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:08,919 you know, if it wasn't for Cargie and Morgan and 65 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,879 you know, our country would never be as great as 66 00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:12,199 it was. 67 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: Well yeah, I mean again, but all of these historical 68 00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:19,680 figures that you just mentioned, they are all uh, you know, 69 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,439 portions of good and bad because they were human beings, right, 70 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,839 so they did exactly exactly right, right, they did good, 71 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:27,160 they did. 72 00:04:28,879 --> 00:04:32,079 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I loved I used to love rush with 73 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,959 always at Thanksgiving, and that's coming up always. The real 74 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,839 story of Thanksgiving is when they came over in the Mayflower. 75 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:44,040 They actually set up a socialist government and it failed. 76 00:04:44,079 --> 00:04:46,879 It wasn't because they didn't know how to you know, 77 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,560 some of it was they didn't know the lay at 78 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,480 the land. But the reason it failed is for human nature. 79 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,560 There was plenty of people that didn't want to work, 80 00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:57,720 and they kept taking from the common store, right, and 81 00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:59,959 they starved to death. And then they realized that was 82 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,600 and work. Until then they set up basically a capitalistic. 83 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, private property. 84 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, they were like, okay, you can do what you 85 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,079 want with your property and you can sell the access 86 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,879 and you know, and then it thrived. It works, Yeah 87 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,800 every time. You know, it's just because human nature is 88 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,360 some people are going to be lazy and some people aren't, 89 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,879 you know, Yeah, the best you know, and it's you know, 90 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,000 there is no perfect system, but it's the best one 91 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,319 on the planet because the other way doesn't work. And 92 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,600 it's all about only the top get rich and only 93 00:05:29,639 --> 00:05:31,680 the top gets stuff, and all it does is bring 94 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,240 everybody down to a low level. 95 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, the free market recognizes human nature. Marxism denies human nature, 96 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,800 which is why you need force to make it to 97 00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:45,480 employ it, and that, of course leads to all of 98 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,040 the body bags that Marxism has attached to its name. Joe, 99 00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:51,199 I appreciate the call, man, Yes, sir, good to hear 100 00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:54,519 from you. All right, let me go and talk with Bill. 101 00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:58,240 Hello Bill, Bill. 102 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:01,959 Speaker 3: Hello, Yes, thanks for taking my call. 103 00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:04,759 Speaker 1: Yes, sir, a question, what. 104 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: Was the motive of the man who attempted to assassinate 105 00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:09,800 President Trump in Pennsylvania? 106 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,959 Speaker 1: What was the motive of the man who oh the 107 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,360 trumpet the Trump assassination in Butler? Yeah, we don't know. 108 00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,199 Speaker 3: Okay, So how do we know the motive of the 109 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,519 person who attempted to assassinate or did assassinate Charlie Kirk, 110 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:25,600 Which is horrible, by the. 111 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,079 Speaker 1: Way, because we know more about the AMMO and the 112 00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:30,399 scrawlings that were. 113 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: On the AMMO and what were the scrawlings. 114 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:39,079 Speaker 1: Transgender sayings and slogans and quote anti fascism slogans. 115 00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:42,639 Speaker 3: Has anybody seen them? Anybody? 116 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,519 Speaker 1: It seems like you're trying to move the goalposts a 117 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,839 little bit here, But I mean, has anybody seen any 118 00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:48,519 of the AMMO from the Butler shooting? 119 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,079 Speaker 2: Yeah? 120 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,759 Speaker 3: I just think that since this has happened, there's been 121 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,879 assumptions that this person was anti Trump, and we don't 122 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:00,480 know yet. 123 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,959 Speaker 1: No, No, I think he was anti Charlie Kirk. I 124 00:07:02,959 --> 00:07:05,199 did say anti Trump. I've never said anti Trump. I 125 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,759 said this is I said that this is a political assassination. 126 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,920 They targeted Charlie Kirk. 127 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,759 Speaker 3: I just think that when when each side calls each 128 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,480 other evil, it's wrong. When each side tries to attribute 129 00:07:19,519 --> 00:07:24,079 this to Marxism, that's wrong. When someone calls me a 130 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,920 moderate Democrat a Marxist, it troubles me because I'm conservative 131 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:34,000 on on on national policy, I'm liberal on social policy. 132 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,519 I am not and never will be a Marxist. Anybody 133 00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:39,759 who accused me of Marxist is wrong. When I vote 134 00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:43,519 for Democrats, I think painting with a broadbrush, using the 135 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,639 word evil to apply to either side when we don't assume. 136 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,000 I don't assume every Republican is evil, okay? You Democrats 137 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,600 is evil? Or a Marxist buil? 138 00:07:54,079 --> 00:08:00,639 Speaker 1: Do you differentiate between leftism and liberalism? 139 00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: Oh? Those are both loaded terms and the definitions are 140 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,079 so broad you can't separate the two. 141 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,279 Speaker 1: So so you don't. You don't differentiate between being a 142 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,600 leftist and being a liberal. 143 00:08:12,079 --> 00:08:13,519 Speaker 3: I think the labels are all wrong. 144 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,639 Speaker 1: We're all pr Well, you called yourself a conservative, progress 145 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,439 that label wrong. 146 00:08:17,519 --> 00:08:21,279 Speaker 3: I'm progressive and liberal. Okay, So given liberal and think 147 00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:24,399 that we ought to we ought to take the most 148 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,040 aggressive steps possible to end the war in Ukraine by 149 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,360 penalizing Putin and Russia. Well that that depths possible. 150 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,279 Speaker 1: That's not progressive or liberal. There are conservatives that believe 151 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,240 that too. That's my question is whether or not you 152 00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:43,879 make any kind of differentiation. No, because look, Donald Trump 153 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:47,039 is a lifelong Democrat, Like I understand about the mixture 154 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,000 of the labels. What he is. He was, that's not 155 00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:50,480 a lie. 156 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: He was and he's not. 157 00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 3: He's not a conservative for that. 158 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,279 Speaker 1: No, for sure, I've been saying that for a decade. 159 00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:58,320 I've been saying that for a decade. But I don't 160 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,360 understand what point you think that makes when you're not 161 00:09:00,399 --> 00:09:03,039 even willing to differentiate between a leftist and a liberal. 162 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,919 Speaker 3: I am leftist. Leftist sounds like Marxist, sounds like it 163 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,320 is liberal? 164 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 2: Can be? 165 00:09:10,759 --> 00:09:12,759 Speaker 1: Do you think? Okay? So I will use your term 166 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,159 that I So leftists are Marxists, they're communists. Okay, that's 167 00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:21,320 what a leftist is. Okay, So you and you're not? Okay? 168 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,919 So do you think Marxism is evil? 169 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 3: Yes? 170 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: Okay? So if there were Marxists in the Democrat Party, 171 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:30,279 would you call them evil? 172 00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:35,879 Speaker 3: If you if they meet the definition of Marxism. 173 00:09:35,639 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: Like if they were self described socialists, would that matter? 174 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:45,759 Speaker 3: AOC is not a Marxist, she's a socialist. She's liberal 175 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,879 on social issue. 176 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: No, she's a socialist either. She is a member of 177 00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:52,519 the Democrat Socialists of America. 178 00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 3: Your your job is so much easier to attract people 179 00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:02,039 to your view if you'd let with these the fairy. 180 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 1: That's her label. She chose the label. She willingly joined 181 00:10:06,519 --> 00:10:10,279 that association. I didn't do that to her. So do 182 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:12,879 you think so? Do you think you just said, Max. 183 00:10:13,159 --> 00:10:15,879 You said, I asked you if Marxism is evil. 184 00:10:17,759 --> 00:10:18,159 Speaker 3: Marxist. 185 00:10:18,279 --> 00:10:21,279 Speaker 1: I'm not asking about her, I'm asking about Marxism. Is 186 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:21,879 it evil? 187 00:10:22,039 --> 00:10:22,639 Speaker 3: It's evil? 188 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: Okay? So if so, do you consider socialism to be Marxism? No, 189 00:10:29,279 --> 00:10:30,080 what's the difference. 190 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,879 Speaker 3: It's a spectrum? 191 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: How like, what's the difference between socialism and Marxism? 192 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 4: What? 193 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: What's the spectrum under? What's the big umbrella that the 194 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,559 spectrum lives under? 195 00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 3: Well, the point is no, no answer the. 196 00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:49,039 Speaker 1: Question, Bill, No answer my question. I've heard your point. 197 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,159 You've made it several different ways. I'm asking you said, 198 00:10:51,159 --> 00:10:53,600 it's a spectrum. I want to know what the name 199 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,919 of that spectrum is. 200 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:56,879 Speaker 3: Political. 201 00:10:58,159 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. That makes no sense at all. 202 00:11:01,159 --> 00:11:02,519 Speaker 3: It's the political spectrum. 203 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: No, So you're okay, So you're saying that. So you're 204 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,879 saying that socialism and Marxism are different by degree not distinction. 205 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,879 Speaker 3: Oh, those are those are very similar words. They're both, 206 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,960 they're both distinctive. They're different. And how for a degree? 207 00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:21,879 Speaker 1: How how are they different? That's what I was asking. 208 00:11:21,879 --> 00:11:26,519 How is socialism different than Marxism? 209 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:32,759 Speaker 3: Uh? Well, I don't have a PhD in political science. 210 00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: You don't need one. You had, you had opinions about 211 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,159 them being different, So I'm sure you know why they're 212 00:11:37,159 --> 00:11:38,840 different because you believe them to be different. 213 00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:42,639 Speaker 3: You may feel like I've got ld I'm gonna cut 214 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,240 him off now. 215 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: No, I've already kept your long. I've already kept you 216 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,200 two minutes too long. I'm asking you to define the difference, 217 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,240 because you said there's a difference, Bill, So if there's 218 00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:54,159 a difference, tell me what it is. 219 00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:58,399 Speaker 3: I believe that if you took all of the elements 220 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,720 of socialism and stacked them up, and all of the 221 00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:03,399 elements of Marxism, you would and stack them up. What 222 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,320 you would find is that the elements of Marxism are 223 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,600 more extreme and severe, such as you're pure communist. Pure 224 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,840 communism believes that there is no capitalism. Pure communism believes 225 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:19,360 that it is only the group. Everybody takes from the group, 226 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:23,399 everybody gives to the group. There's no individuality. Marxism is 227 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,240 more like that than socialism. Bernie Sanders, he says he's 228 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,159 a socialist. I'm not sure, but he's not a Marxist. 229 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,440 It's not a communist. 230 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: You still haven't told me what the difference between Marxism 231 00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:40,240 and socialism is you went to communism, which, by the way, 232 00:12:40,279 --> 00:12:43,440 that is Marxism as well. So like you're you're all 233 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,399 over the place. It sounds like, Bill, it sounds like 234 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,200 what you're telling me is that is that socialism is 235 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,399 sort of a light version of communism. 236 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:53,159 Speaker 3: It's correct. 237 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 1: It's a good version, no. 238 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 3: Good, good and bad, loaded good and bad, love and terms, all. 239 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: Right, so it's it's a neutral version. I did call 240 00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:09,240 you evil. I'm trying to figure out how you are 241 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,279 so sure of these terms and the philosophies and you're 242 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,600 taking offense to being called evil when no one's called 243 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,879 you evil. I'm so, I'm trying to figure out how 244 00:13:17,919 --> 00:13:20,840 you have become so sure of these things yet don't 245 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:24,879 know the underlying definitions of the things that have so 246 00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:25,399 offended you. 247 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,399 Speaker 3: I'm going to go spend a couple of hours and 248 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,440 I'm going to drop you an email. Okay, I'm gonna say, yeah. 249 00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: You do that. You're the difference, all right, you do that. 250 00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:35,159 Explain to me the difference there. I appreciate it. Bill, 251 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,200 have a great day. So when I was a kid, 252 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,039 my grandpa died with Alzheimer's, and before he died, my 253 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,960 mom and my dad took care of him as he 254 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,840 got worse. Forty years ago, there were no treatments and 255 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,000 not much support for caregivers and family. But things are 256 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,639 different today because of the work of so many people, 257 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:54,240 including the Alzheimer's Association of Western Carolina. It's a great 258 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,600 organization with awesome people with huge hearts. I've been a 259 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,559 supporter for twenty five years. This caused means a lot 260 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,919 to me. I participate in the annual Walk to End 261 00:14:03,919 --> 00:14:06,840 Alzheimer's and I'm leading a Charlotte team again this year, 262 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,120 and it's called once again Pete's Pack. You can sign 263 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,440 up and you can join the team and walk with us. 264 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,720 It's on October eighteenth, that truest field. Sign up at 265 00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:19,360 alz dot org slash walk and then you can search 266 00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:22,360 for my team name Pete's Pack. There's also a link 267 00:14:22,399 --> 00:14:25,039 at thepetepod dot com. There's also a link in the 268 00:14:25,039 --> 00:14:28,360 description of this podcast. Also, I'll be am seeing the 269 00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:31,200 Gastonia Walk on October eleventh, and so you can make 270 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,480 a team and join that one too, or make a 271 00:14:33,519 --> 00:14:36,159 donation and help me hit my goal of five thousand dollars. 272 00:14:36,279 --> 00:14:38,360 If you do, I really appreciate it. There are a 273 00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:41,000 bunch of other walks all over the Carolinas. You can 274 00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:43,759 go to alz dot org slash walk for all the 275 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,399 dates and locations. We're closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's. 276 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,200 Can you help us get there? Will you walk with me? 277 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,320 For a different future, for families, for more time for treatments. 278 00:14:53,679 --> 00:14:57,879 This is why we walk again. Like in these types 279 00:14:57,919 --> 00:15:03,159 of situations, after these kinds of horrific events, I usually 280 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,000 go and pull a whole bunch of comments from people 281 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000 who I find to be more insightful and wiser than 282 00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:15,240 I am, because I know my limitations. And so here's, 283 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:20,559 for example, this guy's on social media. He goes by 284 00:15:20,919 --> 00:15:24,679 the name of Gummy. He says, it's clear to me 285 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,919 from the media coverage and the reactions that the left 286 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,480 does not understand who Charlie Kirk was or what he 287 00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:32,480 represented for the conservative movement, and I don't think they're 288 00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:35,440 prepared for the backlash that'll follow. And I think that's correct. 289 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,720 I do. I think that's correct. There are a lot 290 00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:41,120 of people, particularly older people, that do not understand who 291 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,200 Charlie Kirk was and what he meant for a lot 292 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:50,279 of young people in America. Here's another one. He goes 293 00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:55,799 by the name of coddled affluent professional. On Twitter, he says, 294 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:02,200 I mean this and everything else. The reputational threats, the coercion, 295 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,600 the censorship apparatus, the relentless media propaganda, the constant lies 296 00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:11,320 and dissembling. It's all downstream of constant losing. I think 297 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,840 what we're seeing for the first time in decades is 298 00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:18,200 real politics where major material interests and real power are 299 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,360 at stake. For a long time, electing a Democrat or 300 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,159 a Republican did not change the direction we were heading. 301 00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:27,440 It just changed the pace. And a lot of liberal 302 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,480 activism was predicated on the idea of hurrying up historical 303 00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:35,840 progress that they supposed was inevitable anyway. Well that's all 304 00:16:35,919 --> 00:16:38,559 up for grabs now, along with a tremendous amount of 305 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,600 cultural power and social authority. So Libs feel their interests 306 00:16:42,639 --> 00:16:45,440 are being threatened on all sides. A lot of this 307 00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:49,039 has to do with factors besides explicit partisan politics, like 308 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:55,000 technological succession and post war ideological dispensations being well beyond 309 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,799 their expiration date. But Trump and MAGA are the most 310 00:16:58,799 --> 00:17:02,840 concrete and perceptible manifestations of these threats, and that's why 311 00:17:02,879 --> 00:17:07,079 we have political violence and nat SEK plotting against the president, 312 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,640 and state censorship and libs screaming about how Nazism and 313 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,119 authoritarianism are undermining their democracy. This is all to say 314 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,079 that right now there's quite a lot on the table 315 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:22,920 and politics are very meaningful. There's a lot that's very ugly. 316 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:25,519 But to a great degree that has to do with 317 00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:29,480 the stakes being so high.

Call or Bill opposes 350 00:19:14,599 --> 00:19:19,119 political labels because they accurately define positions. The left know 351 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,200 their opinions are typically not well received, they have to 352 00:19:22,279 --> 00:19:25,119 lie and dull them up. You rarely hear a conservative 353 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:29,319 complain about being called conservative, which is a great point, Kenny, 354 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,039 Thank you. People call me, oh, you're just a capitalist, 355 00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:35,720 Oh you're a conservative, Oh you're a libertarian. Whatever. I 356 00:19:35,799 --> 00:19:39,000 get called these names, and it's like, yeah, I don't 357 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:43,519 ever run from those labels, just like they do generally define. Now, 358 00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:45,599 if someone says, oh, you're a Republican, okay, well I'm 359 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,839 not that. I'm not a registered Republican, but I do 360 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,160 vote more Republican. They represent more of my views, way 361 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,799 more than the Democrats do. But I'm not a registered Republican. 362 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,640 But for some reason, friends on the left, they're always 363 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:09,480 swapping out their names progressive liberal, Well I guess that's it, 364 00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:13,039 really progressive liberal. They swap They go back and forth 365 00:20:13,319 --> 00:20:17,200 trying to think of the others. I mean, they'll just say, oh, 366 00:20:17,279 --> 00:20:19,839 you know, democrat, I'm a conservative Democrat whatever, So they 367 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,079 try to come up with the different labels. They don't 368 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,400 like socialists or Marxist or communists. They don't like any 369 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,799 of these things. Even as their party is being infiltrated 370 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:36,079 and taken over by Democrats, Socialists of America candidates, they're not. 371 00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:41,920 They are unable to fight back against those candidates that 372 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,640 that philosophy because truth be told, they are they are 373 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:49,240 closer to that than or No. I shouldn't say that, 374 00:20:49,319 --> 00:20:52,920 because I do believe in the Dennis Praeger axiom on this, 375 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,279 which is that conservatives vot vote their principles, leftists vote 376 00:20:57,319 --> 00:21:00,480 their principles, but liberals do not because they don't want 377 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,720 to acknowledge that they're actually closer to Republicans or conservatives 378 00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:08,319 than they are to the leftists. Let me go over 379 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,759 and get Alex on. Hello Alex, thanks for hanging on. 380 00:21:10,799 --> 00:21:11,480 Welcome to the show. 381 00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:15,319 Speaker 4: Yeah, so, I just I want to kind of give 382 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,079 I guess my opinion out for what it's worth. Sure, 383 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,519 So just all up on the guy that you just 384 00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:23,279 spoke to. I mean, I kind of see where he's 385 00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:26,079 coming from. I do not I mean I don't subscribe 386 00:21:26,039 --> 00:21:30,160 too much with Charlie Kirby's to say, I don't think 387 00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:31,920 I don't agree to some of the things you say 388 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,319 on this program and some of them on this radio station. 389 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:36,440 I think, you know, if you have to look at 390 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,880 sort of Marxists, and you know a lot of labels 391 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,480 that I do see they do come home from the 392 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:42,799 right of them from the left, but maybe some degrees 393 00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:44,200 to the left as well, but. 394 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: No, not maybe Alex. I'll stop you right there. Have 395 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,720 you heard the terms nazi? Have you heard the term yeah, 396 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:56,039 fascist but racist, but texist, omophobe, xenophobe, islamophobe. 397 00:21:56,079 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, yeah, no, I get that, and I don't. 398 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,279 I mean, there's nobody's Naza. I mean, nasi's very hard 399 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,920 having to earned. I don't think there's a lot of 400 00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:08,680 sort of maybe self described Marxism, but they're not really Marxist. 401 00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:11,279 Speaker 1: So I would well, I would venture, but I would. 402 00:22:11,319 --> 00:22:14,240 I would simply say this, though, is that the use 403 00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:17,799 of those terms against your fellow Americans, calling them, not 404 00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:21,440 saying that you personally, but using those kinds of terms. 405 00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 4: Understand not just the people, that's just the people who 406 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,839 don't understand what's Nazis were, I mean. 407 00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: The well, but also fascists authoritarian, I mean it's totalitarian. 408 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 4: It's I I would actually be okay with totilitarian to 409 00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:35,519 a degree. 410 00:22:35,839 --> 00:22:38,759 Speaker 1: Sure you would to, yeah, but but not but to 411 00:22:38,839 --> 00:22:41,759 a degree again, I mean, yeah, remember who was it? Who? 412 00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:43,559 But who was it that shut down all of the 413 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,559 all of the governments and such? Who was it that 414 00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:49,920 did the mask mandates and the who is it that 415 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,279 did the uh, the the shot the vaccine mandates? That 416 00:22:54,319 --> 00:22:56,000 would you consider that to be totalitarian? 417 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but with those due respect, I never really 418 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,279 had any problems with that because some sort of she's 419 00:23:00,319 --> 00:23:01,599 done for the greater good of country. 420 00:23:01,759 --> 00:23:02,079 Speaker 1: There you go. 421 00:23:02,079 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 2: You can have that debate, you can have the debate, but. 422 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:07,279 Speaker 1: My point, I believe it's not a debate. Alex, you're 423 00:23:07,319 --> 00:23:07,960 proving my point. 424 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 4: Okay, Well, I mean I feel like that was gone 425 00:23:11,799 --> 00:23:14,319 for the better of society, right, which is sort of. 426 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,839 Speaker 1: That's what and that's what people on the left always believe. 427 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,279 Speaker 4: Well, I mean, we can always talk about what Christian 428 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,839 nationalism is and things like that and what they believe 429 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,039 and how crazy that is. But what I did want 430 00:23:26,039 --> 00:23:28,359 to talk about is this. I look again, I like 431 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,119 I said before, I don't I don't really subscribe to 432 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,640 anything what Charlie Kirk was saying. Of course he's not. 433 00:23:34,039 --> 00:23:36,960 This is the stupidest thing ever. It's a senseless act 434 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,519 that really does not serve any purpose to anybody. It 435 00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:44,759 is absolutely idiotic thing that anybody could do. And it's 436 00:23:44,839 --> 00:23:48,279 just there's really no there's nothing you can say really 437 00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:52,440 about it. From my perspective anyway, what what what? What 438 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:53,599 sort of struck me? 439 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,279 Speaker 2: Is just typical. 440 00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 4: And again, maybe this is going to be problem in 441 00:23:58,039 --> 00:24:01,920 popular opinion, but this could have been something that at 442 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,400 the very least Trump could have shown and and and 443 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,599 show some sort of humility and understanding that this country 444 00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:13,599 is very much divided. I guarantee you if this would 445 00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:18,960 have been a situation where Obama, Biden, Trump, anybody except 446 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,079 for Trump and not Trump, I'm sorry Bush, they would 447 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,640 have come out and they would have been a statement 448 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,759 trying to bring the country together. It would have been 449 00:24:25,759 --> 00:24:26,720 a statement, not. 450 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Alex, I'm going to stop Alex. No, I got you. 451 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,839 I'm going to stop you there, hang on, hang on, 452 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,559 hang on, Alex, I'm gonna stop you there. And I'm 453 00:24:33,599 --> 00:24:35,720 going to tell you that we are past that point. 454 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,519 Speaker 4: But but this is the job of a president to 455 00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:40,480 come this country. 456 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 1: We did horrible stupid. 457 00:24:42,079 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 3: Did not saying happened? 458 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,599 Speaker 4: Why No, his statement came out and he was just 459 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,000 lambasting Democrats, lambasting left Wilkins, left, left and right. It 460 00:24:51,039 --> 00:24:53,720 is that was wrong. That was just a stupid This 461 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,319 was the opportunity, a horrible opportunity, stupid opportunity should not 462 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,519 have come around. But if this is this was the 463 00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:03,359 moment for him to step up and be a leader 464 00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:06,039 that you people think he is. This was that she 465 00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:07,799 should not have come out of the way he did. 466 00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:10,319 Speaker 1: I am shocked to learn that Trump did not fulfill 467 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,440 your expectations. 468 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,559 Speaker 2: But exactly but what. 469 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,279 Speaker 1: He never would, he never can. This is why. See 470 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,440 So here is this what I mean, Alex, Yesterday's assassination 471 00:25:21,559 --> 00:25:26,160 of charge Alex stop, stop, stop stop, Alex stop Alex. Okay, 472 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,359 stop there you go. Now you are stopped. This is 473 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:36,640 the thing. Yesterday's assassination of Charlie Kirk has reoriented our society. 474 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,720 You may not realize it. You may maybe you do, 475 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,039 and maybe that's what you're kind of nervous about right now. 476 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,519 But everything has shifted, The vibe has shifted, and we 477 00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:51,839 had presidents Republican presidents that would always dutifully go up 478 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,759 and say the things that you wanted Donald Trump to say, 479 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,880 even though if he had said them, I'm sure that 480 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,599 would not have sufficiently been adequate for you either. But 481 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,599 I don't know. I'll give you the benefit of the 482 00:26:03,599 --> 00:26:05,599 doubt and say that, yeah, maybe Trump could have surprised 483 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,680 you and you would have said, did a good job there, Donald, 484 00:26:07,759 --> 00:26:12,960 But Republicans in the past have said the very thing 485 00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:17,559 that you want Trump to have said, and we keep 486 00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:23,319 seeing these types of attacks. It's not working. So you 487 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,279 guys on the left are going to have to rain 488 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,400 in your leftist nut jobs. That is on you. Meanwhile, 489 00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:33,440 the Trump administration, I suspect, is going to use the 490 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,279 full force of the federal government and the DOJ to 491 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,440 start cracking down on these left wing organizations and agitators, 492 00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:42,839 at least I hope. So I appreciate the call. Alex. 493 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,519 All Right, you hear me talk a lot about incentives, right, Well, 494 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,079 let's talk about incentive trips, the kind that companies offer 495 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,400 employees to fire them up and reward their teams. If 496 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,519 you own a business or you work somewhere that offers 497 00:26:54,559 --> 00:26:57,519 these incentive trips, First off, good for you. But also 498 00:26:57,839 --> 00:27:00,200 there is a custom app that's a game change for 499 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:05,039 these trips. It's called Incentive Tripkit.

When 507 00:27:30,759 --> 00:27:34,640 you launch next year's incentive trip campaign, that video becomes 508 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,920 your greatest motivator.

Let's bring this baby in for a landing. 512 00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:50,200 I know I got a bunch of people on hold. 513 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,680 I still have a ton of messages too. Uh, let 514 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,680 me go and get Mary on Hello Mary, welcome to 515 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,640 the program. 516 00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 5: Hey, thanks for having me. Of course, I'm totally devastated 517 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,160 by Charlie's murder, but I want to just say something 518 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,559 what I feel that we really need to look at 519 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,759 at the basis of every single thing he ever testified. 520 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,599 And by the way, if you look back at some 521 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,160 of his challenges, he ran circles around not the students 522 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,200 at Cambridge University and Oxford, but the professors. 523 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 1: Yes, he destroyed them. Yeah. 524 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,319 Speaker 5: And the thing is it all goes back to the 525 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,279 Christian faith. And you know when he was contested in 526 00:28:33,279 --> 00:28:36,200 one of these arguments, not with a professor, with somebody 527 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,200 else that was like, oh, the deparation of a dependence 528 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,079 really only says God. 529 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: Like, I actually have that clip. I have the clip. 530 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:45,839 I can play it for you. I think, Well, Nick, producer, 531 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,759 Nick back in the studio, do you have the uh 532 00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:52,400 do you have the clip? It's Kirk on Christian Nation 533 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,279 is the name of the clip. All right, let's fire 534 00:28:55,279 --> 00:28:57,200 it up for Mary. This is what she's talking about. 535 00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 6: Feels found on common law because the Declaration only refers 536 00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:07,160 to God four times in the Constitution, doesn't refer to 537 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,359 God at all, and it only articulates the structure of government. 538 00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:13,319 Speaker 7: So first of all, remember that we were a collection 539 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,799 of states and colonies, and you need to read the 540 00:29:15,799 --> 00:29:18,720 state constitutions or anything else. Thirteen or thirteen required a 541 00:29:18,759 --> 00:29:21,400 declaration of faith. In almost every single one of the 542 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,079 original state constitutions, they had I profess Lord in Jesus 543 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,240 Christ as my Lord and Savior. Secondly, fifty five and 544 00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:29,920 fifty six of the original assigners of the declaration or 545 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,720 Bible believing church tending Christians. If you ask about common law, 546 00:29:32,799 --> 00:29:35,759 let's go to three principles of common law, assumption of medicense, 547 00:29:36,519 --> 00:29:38,960 due process, and dur of your peers, all three of 548 00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:42,680 biblical principles, so and all wrapped into the ultimate Biblical 549 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,920 principle that you shall not favor justice if you are 550 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,279 richer report, which is in Leviticus nineteen, which is the 551 00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:50,680 idea of blind justice, which is incorporated also in the 552 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,119 New Testament ideal. Neither slave, nor Greek nor jew You're 553 00:29:53,119 --> 00:29:54,640 all one in Jesus Christ, as you have to edip 554 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,720 human equality. These are all Biblical ideas. But more importantly 555 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,200 than that, they say that God was only mentioned four 556 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,640 times in the Declaration of Independence. 557 00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:02,759 Speaker 1: Well that's a big deal. 558 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,799 Speaker 7: John Adams seamlessly said the Constitution was only written for 559 00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:08,039 a moral and religious people. It was wholly inadequate for 560 00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:10,799 the people of any other The body politic of America 561 00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,359 was so Christian that our form and structure of government 562 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,599 was built for the people that believed in. 563 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:16,359 Speaker 1: Christ, our Lord. 564 00:30:16,519 --> 00:30:19,039 Speaker 7: One of the reasons we're living through a constitutional crisis 565 00:30:19,319 --> 00:30:21,519 is that we no longer have a Christian nation, but 566 00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:24,200 we have a Christian form of government, and they're incompatible. 567 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,160 So you cannot have liberty if you do not have 568 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,160 a Christian population. 569 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: All right, So whether you agree with that or not, 570 00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:32,960 does it matter. But he makes the case and he 571 00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:38,680 engages people with those facts and with the philosophy. 572 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 5: Well, here's the thing. I mean, I think the part 573 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,640 where it's not agree or not is the part that 574 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,480 it's pure fact, that it is our history. And I 575 00:30:47,559 --> 00:30:50,880 just think that the undermining of this fact that that's 576 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,680 like it or not, the fact is that is how 577 00:30:55,799 --> 00:31:00,599 our nation was founded on those ideals and principle. So 578 00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:05,039 like the schools that are not teaching that are failing 579 00:31:05,079 --> 00:31:09,680 our students because they're leaving out the fundamentals of this 580 00:31:09,799 --> 00:31:12,920 form of government. And I believe that's the job that 581 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,720 we have before us, is to really go after the 582 00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:20,119 education system and make it staptual. Like I met a 583 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,759 lobbyist who's trying to get church and state separated more. 584 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,240 I met her in the Bahamas and she talked about 585 00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:29,319 like how they were trying to get the Ten Commandments 586 00:31:29,319 --> 00:31:31,559 out of Alabama, how that's the new thing they're fighting. 587 00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:33,160 And I said, hey, I think you're on the wrong 588 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,119 side of this battle. The founders were way more Christians 589 00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:40,440 than you think, and their intent was never to eliminate that. 590 00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:43,400 It was to always keep it pure. And it gave 591 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,920 us the best economy in the world so quickly. 592 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: That's going to be taught, right, Well, it unleashed the 593 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,200 potential of all human beings, right, that's the idea. That's 594 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,440 what the free market capitalist system does. It releases all 595 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:03,599 potential to allow people to pursue things that interest them. Yes, 596 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,720 for self interest, but also if you make something that 597 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:09,240 nobody wants, you're not going to be You're not going 598 00:32:09,279 --> 00:32:12,240 to make any profits. So you are incentivized to make 599 00:32:12,279 --> 00:32:15,359 something that people want and need that betters the society. 600 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,480 That's the beauty of it. Now, does that mean everything 601 00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:20,559 ever invented is for the good of society? No, there 602 00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:23,359 are some bad things. Obviously, we are all humans, and 603 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,319 humans do bad stuff, you know, that's. 604 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 5: But the invisible hand, you know, the invisible hand of 605 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,240 the economy is the whole basis of what's going to succeed. Right, 606 00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:36,079 that invisible hand, thing like what's necessary will rise to 607 00:32:36,119 --> 00:32:40,839 the top and succeed. Just what you said. And Harvard, 608 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,200 of course started as a divinity school, and their logo 609 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,240 was changed. You know, it was a divinity school before 610 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,200 it was a secular university, and their logo had been 611 00:32:50,319 --> 00:32:55,240 changed when it changed secular. The three Open Books, they 612 00:32:55,359 --> 00:32:58,240 started out as the two open books in the crest, 613 00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:00,599 with the one on the top as a as a 614 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,240 book facing downward, and that symbolized that we are to 615 00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:06,839 get all of our scholarly knowledge that we can from 616 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,720 study on earth, but there is some knowledge that only 617 00:33:10,799 --> 00:33:15,119 comes from Heaven, from God himself. That's what the Harvard 618 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,599 logo was. And of course the secular movement that's been 619 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:24,920 now defining our time as very ungodly, it started at 620 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,079 those universities and it pushed God out. 621 00:33:28,039 --> 00:33:30,039 Speaker 1: Mary, I got a right. I do appreciate the call 622 00:33:30,079 --> 00:33:33,680 good to hear from you. Thanks so much. I will 623 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,720 close real quick. Obviously.

It's already a heavy time 626 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,880 of year. This day is filled with sorrow and remembrance 627 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,400 and memories, and obviously now after the murder of Charlie Kirk, 628 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,759 the murder of the Arenas, the Routska on the train. 629 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,880 So if you are of the praying kind of a person, 630 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,240 please say some prayers for all those in pain, for 631 00:34:03,319 --> 00:34:06,680 comfort and for strength.
