TWR Bonus | American Exceptionalism Isn't American Supremacy · The Whitfield Report

  The right to offend is not some pesky little part of freedom of
• 0:10
  speech that we have to put up with.
• 0:12
  It is the heart and soul and lungs of freedom of speech.
• 0:16
  It is the coursing lifeblood of human progress.
• 0:19
  It is the instigator of liberty and modernity and science and
• 0:23
  understanding. What a laughingstock today's
• 0:27
  student leaders are that they can so casually dismiss the
• 0:31
  right to be offensive without realizing that their lovely,
• 0:35
  enlightened lives are the gifts of individuals who gave offence.
• 0:41
  Offensiveness is not just something we have to
• 0:44
  begrudgingly accept. Offensiveness is the motor of
• 0:47
  human progress. Now broadcasting from the Right
• 0:51
  to Offend media studios in sunny South Florida, bringing you the
• 0:56
  latest in politics, current events, art and pop culture.
• 1:00
  This is the Whitfield Report live with Sam Whitfield.
• 1:05
  But giving offense is good. In fact, it's essential.
• 1:15
  Well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to
• 1:19
  tonight's impromptu bonus edition of the Whitfield Report
• 1:25
  Live. I'm host Sam Whitfield recording
• 1:30
  here and broadcasting live from right to offend media studios.
• 1:36
  And I am using a new app tonight.
• 1:40
  I'm using a program similar to OBS to do this program.
• 1:46
  So I am partially trying out new, you know, some new stuff
• 1:52
  with this episode. We're we're upgrading here,
• 1:55
  folks, we're we're doing cool new things.
• 1:59
  So hope all is well, but anyway, folks, you may have noticed the
• 2:09
  last couple of days, really the last couple weeks, ever since
• 2:14
  the Tucker Carlson thing has, you know, blown up and it's kind
• 2:22
  of taken over the it's kind of taken up the oxygen, sucked the
• 2:31
  oxygen out of the room. As far as what's going on in the
• 2:35
  news cycle, everyone's talk at the Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes
• 2:41
  interview and I've talked about a little bit on the Whitfield
• 2:47
  report with Max, but we haven't done a we talked about the
• 2:56
  Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes interview too much on the show,
• 3:02
  mainly because it's it's such a clusterfuck in my humble
• 3:10
  opinion. And it leads into some very dark
• 3:19
  and just unsavory places just in general.
• 3:24
  And I don't think that Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes really
• 3:35
  at this point, especially Nick Fuentes.
• 3:39
  Nick Fuentes, to be clear, is not a conservative.
• 3:43
  He has never been a conservative.
• 3:50
  His twisted view of America first is not American
• 3:59
  exceptionalism. It's his twisted view of
• 4:03
  American supremacy and white supremacy and anti-Semitism, to
• 4:16
  be more exact and as no place in America, and American
• 4:29
  conservatism. My grandfather, one of them I
• 4:38
  should say, was at the Battle of the Bulge.
• 4:47
  He was in D-Day at Normandy, and he was one of the first of the
• 5:01
  US troops into the Dachau labor camp, which was one of the
• 5:12
  concentration camps as well. He was part of the first wave
• 5:19
  and as a result of his experiences in World War 2 that
• 5:32
  led him to self medicate with alcohol and he became a
• 5:41
  alcoholic, albeit very high functioning alcoholic.
• 5:47
  He still went on to have a very productive wife after the war.
• 5:54
  But by the time I was born and knew me was a very heavy drinker
• 6:02
  and I got to know my grandfather rather my step grandfather in
• 6:07
  this case Alfred Evans. That was his name very well.
• 6:15
  And growing up, I was fascinated with the history of World War 2.
• 6:31
  And I think I was in middle school at the time, but I would
• 6:38
  go over to spend Fridays in the weekends with my grandmother in
• 6:44
  middle school. And he was still alive at the
• 6:46
  time. And I remember one of those
• 6:51
  Fridays I brought my World War 2 history book with me and I had
• 7:03
  AI had the book open to a page on the 3rd Reich.
• 7:09
  And he comes into the room and I'll never forget because there
• 7:16
  were moments where he could be, for a lack of a better term,
• 7:22
  shit faced, but still kind of ambulatory.
• 7:28
  And then there were moments where he he would get like razor
• 7:32
  focused and razor sharp. And this was one of those
• 7:35
  moments where he went from being inebriated to being immediately
• 7:41
  sobered up upon seeing my history textbook.
• 7:51
  And it was as if the owl who I knew, and he was always, even
• 7:58
  when he was intoxicated, even when he could get get
• 8:03
  intoxicated, he was mostly very friendly and very cordial to me.
• 8:13
  But when it came to World War 2, he, he sobered up pretty
• 8:22
  quickly. And I remember the first
• 8:27
  conversation he, you know, he's we had about the war.
• 8:33
  He started off by saying he pointed to Hitler of a picture
• 8:38
  of Hitler and he said he yelled, Really Hitler, that nasty
• 8:47
  fucking bastard. I wish I had been able to put a
• 8:52
  bullet in him myself. And so he exclaims that.
• 9:03
  And then as the evening went on, I remember he started to open up
• 9:16
  more and more about his service to me in bits and pieces as the
• 9:26
  weeks went on from that point. He shared how he was enlisted,
• 9:32
  about how he enlisted voluntarily when he was 17.
• 9:38
  He talked about going to base training.
• 9:51
  He talked about becoming a tanker driver and later tank
• 9:55
  commander and what that was like.
• 9:59
  But I remember specifically, and what was very chilling was he
• 10:05
  shared with me about going into Dachau and being part of the
• 10:20
  first wave and what he said was being one of the first people in
• 10:34
  there. He couldn't believe the lack of
• 10:40
  humanity that he was seeing in front of his eyes.
• 10:52
  Women, children, men who were starving, the horrible state of
• 11:01
  the library camps, piles of bodies.
• 11:10
  And yet he was seeing it and it scarred him for life.
• 11:23
  And what was even more chilling was he warned or he said to me
• 11:36
  that people were already at this time, it was the mid 2000s.
• 11:40
  And he said to me, you know, kid, he always called me kid
• 11:46
  affectionately as well. And he said, you know, kid,
• 11:56
  people are going to deny the Holocaust and these bastards who
• 12:06
  worship Hitler and the Third Reich, they're going to pretend
• 12:15
  the awful shit like this can never happen in me being, you
• 12:29
  know, politically interested. At the time, I was 13 at the
• 12:34
  time, that was kind of when I was dipping things.
• 12:40
  I had, as I do now, a mostly optimistic view of the world and
• 12:47
  a mostly optimistic view of people.
• 12:52
  And I, I said, I said, oh, I said, oh, I said, there might be
• 12:56
  a few kooks out there, but no one's going to actively deny
• 13:06
  that the Holocaust is happening or happened.
• 13:18
  No one's going to say that Hitler was an awesome guy, and
• 13:25
  yet that's now happening too, on both the left and fringe
• 13:33
  elements of the right. And as I've said before on the
• 13:41
  show and as I've said before on the on XI believe that Nick
• 13:48
  Fuentes is a left wing plant to make decent conservatives look
• 13:55
  bad. I still vehemently believe that.
• 14:03
  And you know, if, if, if you think he's just doing ironic
• 14:13
  commentary or whatever, I think that's, you know, deeply, I
• 14:26
  think you're deeply misled, honestly.
• 14:32
  Because you can find countless clips of all the heinous things
• 14:42
  that Fuentes has said unironically about Hitler being
• 14:50
  awesome and the Jews needing to be rounded up and being in
• 14:59
  control of everything and responsible for all of the evils
• 15:05
  in the world, etcetera. Fuentes has said that repeatedly
• 15:09
  and quite gleefully. So there's that.
• 15:22
  But the reason why I've been, you know, basically on a Twitter
• 15:29
  tirade I had non-stop recently is partially because of my
• 15:37
  grandfather Al and because of the World War Two generation,
• 15:44
  some call them the greatest generation that fought against
• 15:50
  the Nazis and fought against the the acts of evil.
• 15:58
  Because that generation is sadly mostly gone now.
• 16:04
  We no longer have them here on Earth to warn us, but we do have
• 16:18
  archives of history, actual history that we can look back on
• 16:26
  for guidance. And by the way, I want to remind
• 16:31
  people that Nazi stands for National Socialism.
• 16:37
  So Hitler was a socialist. Nazism and Communism are on the
• 16:53
  same side of the coin when it comes to freedom versus tyranny.
• 17:02
  That is simply a fact, ladies and gentlemen.
• 17:11
  But anyway, enough of my monologue here.
• 17:18
  Let's dive into this piece from Douglas Murray.
• 17:31
  Let me pull this up here because I do think it's worth reading
• 17:36
  here. So let me go ahead and pull this
• 17:41
  up. Boy, Ladies and gentlemen, where
• 17:52
  did I, where did I put this? OK, let me move here.
• 18:10
  Hold on a SEC, folks. Just doing some.
• 18:27
  All right, just moving some things around on the way out,
• 18:31
  OK, We should be good to go. So this is a piece in the New
• 18:40
  York Post. This is Douglas Murray's opinion
• 18:50
  piece in the New York Post that was published on November 3rd.
• 18:59
  And I for one thought that this was excellent.
• 19:03
  This kind of breaks down how Tucker Carlson really has no
• 19:15
  longer has any place in the conservative movement.
• 19:17
  So a headline here. Conspiracy kook.
• 19:22
  Tucker Carlson is no conservative and no friend to
• 19:27
  Charles Clerk and JD bands. Reading from the top, Tucker
• 19:36
  Carlson is not a good friend. Just a few years ago, when the
• 19:42
  podcaster was pretending to be friends with President Trump,
• 19:47
  Carlson was caught privately saying of Trump.
• 19:51
  I hate him passionately. In September, another person
• 19:57
  whom Carl, whom Carlson claimed to be friends with, Charlie
• 20:02
  Couric, was shot dead. Carlson used the aftermath of
• 20:07
  his friend's assassination. Not to demand that the suspect
• 20:12
  in the shooting be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
• 20:17
  He didn't seize the moment to insist that perhaps radical left
• 20:23
  dialed down its hateful rhetoric against conservative
• 20:28
  conservatives and Republicans. Nor did he keep attention focus
• 20:33
  on the trans extremist links of the alleged shooter.
• 20:42
  No, Carlson chose to use the occasion to deflect attention
• 20:49
  from the perpetrator seized by the FBI and return hit to his
• 20:55
  obsession, the Jews. In the wake of the
• 21:01
  assassination. Carlson was one of a number of
• 21:06
  kooky online influencers who suggested that Kirk's views on
• 21:12
  Israel had been changing, in that, perhaps for this reason,
• 21:18
  the State of Israel had something to do with his murder.
• 21:26
  It was a crazy conspiracy theory, but Carlson was happy to
• 21:32
  push it. What a way to honor a friend.
• 21:38
  Then this past week, Carlson proved again what an appalling
• 21:42
  person he has become. He invited on to his show an
• 21:48
  avowed Holocaust denier and racist Nick Fuentes.
• 21:54
  We don't need to linger here over all the horrifying bile
• 21:59
  that Fuentes has spewed out to his online followers.
• 22:04
  It is enough to say that he is so toxic.
• 22:08
  He could almost have been invented by the radical left as
• 22:12
  a way to delegitimize the political right in the country.
• 22:19
  Let me read that for you again, because this is what I've been
• 22:22
  saying of Fuentes for years, ladies and gentlemen, me
• 22:26
  personally. It is enough to say that he is
• 22:30
  so toxic. He could have.
• 22:33
  He could almost have been invented by the radical left as
• 22:37
  a way to delegitimize the political right in this country.
• 22:49
  And Douglas is absolutely right here.
• 22:53
  Spot on. Any normal person would want to
• 23:01
  to keep 1,000,000 miles away from such a snarling, ugly
• 23:06
  actor. But if anyone was to sit down
• 23:13
  and give Fuentes one of the largest audience is of his
• 23:19
  career, you would have thought that there would be some hostile
• 23:25
  questions. The kind of real, honestly
• 23:28
  hostile questioning Carlson can do, such as his recently his
• 23:33
  recent astoundingly hostile interview with Ted Cruz.
• 23:45
  But no, Carlson used his hours with Fuentes to simply launder
• 23:51
  Fuentes's reputation and try to give him a veneer of
• 23:56
  reasonableness and respectability.
• 24:01
  Which brings me to to what an appalling friend Tucker Carlson
• 24:08
  is. Carlson might have used the
• 24:13
  opportunity to put fun to put to Fuentes some of the disgusting
• 24:19
  things Fuentes had said about the assassinated Couric.
• 24:27
  He might have raised the way in which Fuentes and his Griper
• 24:31
  followers promised to tap to hound into a metancourke while
• 24:37
  he was alive. Carlson might also have asked
• 24:43
  Fuentes why I'd seen fit to use the weeks after Kirk's
• 24:48
  assassination not only to push the claim that the Jews murdered
• 24:52
  Kirk, but to also attack Kirk's widow.
• 24:57
  Of of which, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, people have
• 25:01
  posted clips of Fuentes doing this repeatedly.
• 25:11
  Oh, let's see here. That's my place.
• 25:22
  Oh, in a recent online ramp, Fuentes said Erica Kirk is a
• 25:29
  spook. Erica Kirk is a plant.
• 25:35
  We all know that. That is a fact.
• 25:39
  That's basically established. She was shopping on for a
• 25:42
  political husband. God know where she comes from.
• 25:46
  She found one in Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk is not a good
• 25:50
  looking guy. Now that's a quote from from
• 25:53
  Fuentes. If you're listening to this on
• 25:57
  the auto podcast, I, I quoted Nick Fuentes there, which is
• 26:02
  it's funny that Fuentes would call someone a plant in a spook
• 26:14
  because Fuentes was the, you know, he was he was the one guy
• 26:18
  at January 6 who actually told people to go into the capital
• 26:24
  and I believe to go into Nancy Pelosi's office directly.
• 26:31
  And yet when everyone else was getting indicted for January
• 26:39
  6th, was Fuentes anywhere near to be to be found?
• 26:48
  No, I don't think so. So, you know, as Flinders likes
• 26:56
  to say a lot, I'm just asking questions.
• 27:02
  And in this case, ladies and gentlemen, I'm I'm, you know,
• 27:04
  I'm just asking questions. I'm I'm just pausing that.
• 27:08
  It is interesting that the guy who is accusing Eric Kirk of
• 27:17
  being a plant and of being a spook is also kind of doing, you
• 27:29
  know, fed or spook like things himself, but I digress.
• 27:36
  Continuing on back to Douglas's article, yeah, let me go back.
• 27:46
  In a recent online rant, Fuentes said Erica Kirk is a spook.
• 27:50
  Erica is a plant. We all know that.
• 27:52
  That is a fact that is basically established.
• 27:56
  She was shopping on for port of husband, God know where.
• 27:59
  God knows where she comes from. Charlie's not a good looking
• 28:03
  guy. Fuentes went on to suggest that
• 28:07
  Kirk's morning widow is just acting.
• 28:11
  Yeah, he said that too. Yeah.
• 28:15
  So continue on it. It is a heck of a thing to claim
• 28:23
  to be friends with someone and then bring a guest on to your
• 28:27
  show who not only hounded your friend in life, but mocks and
• 28:33
  smears his widows after his death.
• 28:41
  But then, that's the sort of friend Tucker Carlson is.
• 28:49
  And it gets worse. Because Carlson also claims to
• 28:53
  be friends with Vice President JD Vance.
• 28:57
  He has appeared on stage with him and warmed up for him and
• 29:06
  Trump at rallies. Most of us think friendship
• 29:11
  includes defending your friends and defending their wives.
• 29:16
  Not Carlson. Here's just some of what Fuentes
• 29:21
  had to say about Vance and his beautiful Emma and impress of
• 29:26
  wife Usha. During one recent rant, Fuentes
• 29:32
  described JD Vance as, quote, a fat race mixer who's married to
• 29:39
  AG, who named his son Vivek. Yeah, End Quote.
• 29:49
  For anyone not up on the racist cesspool terms, AG turns out to
• 29:55
  be a racist term used to smear people of South Asian,
• 30:00
  especially Indian ancestry. Fuentes went on to claim that
• 30:09
  Vans was monitored by was mentored by a quote UN quote
• 30:15
  Jewish neo con and a gay fed and again called Vans a fat gay race
• 30:23
  trader who married a Jeep. Elsewhere he has attacked people
• 30:29
  for supporting Vans because of the ethnicity of Vans's wife and
• 30:37
  the fact that the couple have produced children whom Fuentes
• 30:42
  calls non white. Fuentes has attacked Vance
• 30:48
  because his kids are brown. Quote UN quote.
• 30:54
  These are vile things to say about anyone.
• 30:58
  Most of us wouldn't want to be any anywhere near someone who
• 31:03
  said such things are total strangers.
• 31:07
  But if you had someone in front of you who had said that about
• 31:11
  your own friend, his wife and children, wouldn't you bring
• 31:15
  that up? Putting aside for the moment why
• 31:20
  you would platform such a toxic toad in the 1st place, Why allow
• 31:25
  him to normalize himself in front of a worldwide audience
• 31:29
  without even bringing up all the disgusting things he has said
• 31:36
  about people you claim to know and love?
• 31:40
  And ladies and gentlemen, that is simply the the truth of
• 31:44
  things. Continuing on, at the end of
• 31:52
  last week, the president of the Heritage Foundation in
• 31:56
  Washington tied himself to a completely avoidable mess by
• 32:02
  issuing a video defending Carlson.
• 32:06
  Goodness knows why Kevin Roberts chose to do that.
• 32:11
  It wasn't as though the nation was desperate to hear from him.
• 32:16
  But I suppose Roberts did it like other people who had stood
• 32:21
  up for Carlson during his recent downward spiral.
• 32:28
  Because he values loyalty in friendship.
• 32:32
  If that's the case, then Roberts, like Trump, Vance, and
• 32:37
  others in the Republican movement, should reflect on what
• 32:42
  a friend they really have in Tucker Carlson, a man who seems
• 32:47
  on normalizing Holocaust deniers and on destroying the MAGA
• 32:53
  movement within Some patriot, some conservative, some friend.
• 33:02
  And I will link this article in the show notes here.
• 33:08
  Here, ladies and gentlemen, because this is, in my opinion,
• 33:15
  a pretty damn good article, if I do say so myself.
• 33:33
  It really is. Now let me
• 33:50
  let me switch back real quick. OK, so the reason why, ladies
• 34:05
  and gentlemen, because people ask Sam, why do you go after
• 34:15
  Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson so much?
• 34:23
  People, people have said, Sam, it seems like you go after
• 34:29
  Fuentes in the quote UN quote far right more than you do the
• 34:35
  radical left. And to be fair, ladies and
• 34:40
  gentlemen, I, it may appear to you guys that way because some
• 34:48
  of the clips of me criticizing, I guess the, the far right or
• 34:55
  the alt right, those get more visibility.
• 34:58
  But I, I, I do criticize the far left.
• 35:02
  But the thing I'm criticizing the far left is everyone does it
• 35:06
  now. The far left is easy to
• 35:11
  criticize. Even even though Mar, who's you
• 35:14
  know, who's on the left support, you know, he seems to be leaning
• 35:21
  right more and more or coming into our side, I should say.
• 35:26
  But the woke left has made it increasingly like they've made
• 35:35
  it easy for them to be lampooned.
• 35:41
  And most decent liberals, and there are, there are decent
• 35:46
  liberals out there, folks. They're sick of the woke stuff
• 35:49
  too on the left. So yeah, lampooning the the woke
• 35:57
  left and lampooning folks like Mom, Donnie.
• 36:04
  And we will discuss that on Wednesday, Ladies and gentlemen,
• 36:07
  Max and I will make no mistake, we will be talking about that on
• 36:15
  Wednesday probably. But the reason why I tend to
• 36:21
  come down harder on people on the right quote, UN quote, or
• 36:29
  people trying to infiltrate the right like Nick Fuentes is
• 36:34
  because I expect, I don't expect a lot of the left, ladies and
• 36:40
  gentlemen, at this point. I don't as a whole, because the
• 36:51
  left in America has been lost completely to radicalism.
• 36:58
  They've let the woke consume them and they've let this social
• 37:04
  justice victim mentality consume them.
• 37:10
  They're kind of lost the right. I have always held to a higher
• 37:15
  standard, ladies and gentlemen, the thing that Fuentes, you
• 37:23
  know, in the gripers or whatever you want to call them, or you
• 37:26
  know, the white nationalist group that the race journalist
• 37:29
  groups, etcetera, etcetera. The thing that those people is
• 37:37
  they want the same thing as the left does.
• 37:43
  They want to blame others for the misfortune in their lives.
• 37:51
  They don't want to take any responsibility for things going
• 37:57
  on in the in their own life. They want to say the most
• 38:04
  outlandish things without even getting pushed back.
• 38:13
  And then when anyone does push back on them, it's a giant
• 38:17
  conspiracy theory. They think they're all, they
• 38:26
  think they're owed reparations by the government, just like the
• 38:35
  left is, except, you know, they want for white people.
• 38:46
  And oddly enough, like both the far left and the far right, they
• 38:52
  both like, they're both racist and they both hate Jews.
• 39:00
  And they're not a big fan of Christians either, I've noticed.
• 39:05
  Like for all of for all of Nick Fuentes's posturing about, you
• 39:09
  know, being a good Catholic, I've never actually seen him
• 39:18
  quote the Bible or display any humility like a good Christian
• 39:29
  or Catholic. Or anything like that.
• 39:36
  And like I've said before, I don't believe that his eulogy,
• 39:41
  quote UN quote for Charlie Kirk was genuine.
• 39:46
  I think was just an act because everything he has said about
• 39:49
  Erica since then, since Charlie Kirk's death and a turning
• 39:56
  point, has been lambasting then and making up endless conspiracy
• 40:03
  theories about them. The eulogy quote UN quote was
• 40:14
  just his way of trying to get his foot in the door, which he
• 40:23
  has now done, but nobody who's seriously been paying attention.
• 40:32
  And nobody who actually knows what he's about takes any of it
• 40:38
  seriously at all. So, you know, he claims to be
• 40:51
  America first, but his version of America first is not actually
• 41:07
  America first. It's it's Fuentes first honestly
• 41:13
  is what he is about. And he confuses American
• 41:20
  exceptionalism with American supremacy.
• 41:30
  He doesn't believe in American exceptionalism.
• 41:32
  He believes in a very warped version of American supremacy.
• 41:39
  And there is a big difference, ladies and gentlemen.
• 41:45
  Gentlemen, what is that difference?
• 41:50
  Well, ladies and gentlemen, I I posted this clip on Twitter
• 41:56
  early in the week, but I want to play this again because I think
• 42:03
  bears worth viewing. But back in 2015, so 10 years
• 42:13
  ago, actually, radio's greatest of all time, Rush Limbaugh, and
• 42:25
  he was the greatest to ever do broadcasting.
• 42:34
  He is the standard of broadcast in my view.
• 42:41
  Rush laid out perfectly what American exceptionalism is.
• 42:50
  And more importantly, ladies and gentlemen, he laid out what
• 42:55
  American exceptionalism isn't, which is just as important.
• 43:05
  And I think it's increasingly important that we pay attention
• 43:17
  and heed his warnings. So let's let's take a listen to
• 43:24
  this, shall we? This is Rush Limbaugh on
• 43:35
  American Exceptionalism from 2015.
• 43:43
  Let's roll the clip. Not what American exceptionalism
• 43:51
  is not. It is not that we are better
• 43:56
  people. It is not that we are superior
• 44:00
  people. It is not that we are smarter
• 44:03
  people. It is not that God loves us and
• 44:07
  hates everybody else. It is not that God prefers us.
• 44:13
  It is not that God doesn't prefer anybody else.
• 44:19
  American exceptionalism has nothing to do with anything but
• 44:24
  freedom and liberty. Here is what American
• 44:28
  exceptionalism is, by the way. This is one of the fundamental
• 44:37
  reasons why I got so excited when presented with the idea of
• 44:41
  writing a book about the truth of American history in stages
• 44:45
  and various elements for young people.
• 44:51
  My book, Rush, Revere and the Brave Pilgrims, is all about the
• 44:55
  exceptionalism of those people. So what is it?
• 45:01
  Well, if you know the history of the world, read your Bible.
• 45:06
  Read whatever historical account of humanity you hold dear.
• 45:10
  And what you'll read about is human tyranny.
• 45:14
  You'll read of bondage. You'll read of slavery.
• 45:19
  The vast majority of the people, the vast majority of the human
• 45:25
  beings who have lived and breathed and walked this planet
• 45:30
  have lived under the tyranny of despots.
• 45:33
  The vast majority, it isn't even close.
• 45:40
  The vast majority of the people of this world, since the
• 45:44
  beginning of time have never known the kind of liberty and
• 45:50
  freedom that's taken for granted every day in this country.
• 45:55
  Most people have lived in abject fear of their leaders.
• 46:02
  Most people have lived in abject fear of whoever held power over
• 46:09
  them. Most people in the world have
• 46:13
  not had plentiful access access to food and clean water.
• 46:19
  It was a major daily undertaking for most people to come up with
• 46:24
  just those two basic things. Just surviving was the primary
• 46:31
  occupation of most people in the world.
• 46:37
  The history of the world is dictatorship, tyranny, whatever
• 46:43
  you want to call it, subjugation of populations.
• 46:50
  And then along came the United States of America.
• 46:54
  So Rush is absolutely right that tyranny is the history of the
• 47:02
  world. And that's exactly what Nick
• 47:11
  Fuentes and others on the far right want.
• 47:17
  They want soft, they want tyranny.
• 47:21
  It may be soft tyranny, but they still want tyranny.
• 47:26
  And same way on the left with Zoran, Mondami and company.
• 47:34
  There's no real difference, ladies and gentlemen, between
• 47:40
  the far left and the far right. So here's why American is
• 47:47
  exceptional Can continuing on Rush.
• 47:55
  Pilgrims are the first to come here seeking freedom from all of
• 48:00
  that. They were oppressed because of
• 48:02
  their religion. They were told they had to
• 48:06
  believe in the King and his God, whatever it was, or they would
• 48:13
  be imprisoned. They led an exodus from Europe
• 48:20
  to this country of people of the same mindset.
• 48:25
  They simply wanted to escape the tyranny of their ordinary lives.
• 48:32
  This country was founded for the first time in human history.
• 48:37
  A government and country was founded on the belief that
• 48:43
  leaders serve the population. This country the 1st in history.
• 48:50
  And this is the exception EXCEPT, except, the exception to
• 48:57
  the rule is what American exceptionalism is.
• 49:01
  And because of this liberty and freedom that our country exists
• 49:06
  because the founders recognized it comes from God.
• 49:09
  It's part of the natural yearning of the human spirit.
• 49:12
  It is not granted by a government.
• 49:14
  It's not granted by Putin. It's not granted by Obama or any
• 49:17
  other human being. We are created with the natural
• 49:21
  yearning to be free. And it is other men and leaders
• 49:25
  throughout human history who have suppressed that and
• 49:27
  imprisoned people for seeking it.
• 49:29
  The US is the first time in the history of the world where a
• 49:34
  government was organized with a constitution laying out the
• 49:37
  rules that the individual was supreme and dominant.
• 49:42
  And that is what led to the US becoming the greatest country
• 49:46
  ever, because it unleashed people to be the best they could
• 49:49
  be, unlike it had ever happened. That's American exceptionalism.
• 49:52
  Putin doesn't know what it is. Obama doesn't know what it is,
• 49:56
  and it just got trashed in the New York Times.
• 49:59
  It's just unacceptable to the courage to fight and but talent
• 50:03
  to succeed rush on the. So there you have it, ladies and
• 50:10
  gentlemen. That is what American
• 50:13
  exceptionalism is again, not American supremacy.
• 50:24
  Not we're better than the rest of the world, but why?
• 50:31
  We are the exception to the rule versus the rest of the world.
• 50:37
  We value individual liberty for all over group identity
• 50:45
  politics, which is what the far left and the far right are both
• 50:53
  into. And quite frankly, I have no use
• 50:58
  for either. And the vast majority of
• 51:03
  Americans don't either. So folks, I know this was an
• 51:10
  impromptu episode tonight, but this has kind of been on my mind
• 51:16
  for the past couple weeks and Max and I are going to do a deep
• 51:23
  dive more into Nick Fuentes and the gripers and who they and
• 51:30
  their scummy Ilkar. We'll get into that on a, you
• 51:36
  know, at another time, but I just kind of wanted to do a
• 51:40
  reaction to Douglas Murray's piece in the New York Post Rush
• 51:52
  on American exceptionalism and then and then kind of my
• 51:55
  grandfather's store with World War 2.
• 52:01
  So if you have tuned in live, I want to thank you for watching.
• 52:07
  And if you're listening to this on Spotify or Apple podcast or
• 52:16
  what have you, thank you for tuning in as well.
• 52:19
  I will have links to the article and we're not in the show notes
• 52:23
  in the description along with my books and everything else.
• 52:30
  So thank you for for tuning in. God bless God save this great
• 52:35
  nation and God freedom legacy in that order.
• 52:42
  And I'll be back tomorrow at 11 AM for my interview with Mr.
• 52:49
  Terrence Laihue of Suit Podcast. So tune in for that, ladies and
• 52:54
  gentlemen, See you then. Take care.
• 53:02
  The right to offend is not some pesky little part of freedom of
• 53:07
  speech that we have to put up with.
• 53:09
  It is the heart and soul and lungs of freedom of speech.
• 53:13
  It is the coursing lifeblood of human protest.
• 53:16
  It is the instigator of liberty and modernity and science and
• 53:20
  understanding. What a laughing stock today's
• 53:24
  student leaders are that they can so casually dismiss the
• 53:28
  right to be offensive without realising that their lovely,
• 53:32
  enlightened lives are the gifts of individuals who gave offence.
• 53:38
  Offensiveness is not just something we have to
• 53:40
  begrudgingly accept. Offensiveness is the motor of
• 53:44
  human progress. Thank you for watching the
