Rachel Maddow Says Lord Of The Rings Is 'Far Right' Favorite (Ep. 04) · V

0:00
Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. I
0:03
Speaker 1: am your host, Avita, and we are here at the
0:05
Speaker 1: RNC in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Just so you know, everything that
0:09
Speaker 1: I cover here, you can find on BonginaReport.com if you.
0:13
Speaker 2: Want to read and learn more. Some more.
0:15
Speaker 1: Time magazine has changed its August cover of the iconic
0:20
Speaker 1: Trump photo to please Democrats.
0:22
Speaker 2: That's going to be topic one.
0:23
Speaker 1: NBC is deeply disturbed by Republicans calling for mass deportations.
0:27
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow claims Lord of the Rings is a favorite
0:30
Speaker 1: of the far right. Biden forgets Secretary of Defense Lloyd
0:34
Speaker 1: Austin's name. Joy Reid is making an utter fool out
0:37
Speaker 1: of herself this entire conference. We're going to cover a
0:40
Speaker 1: few times. She looks like an absolute idiot. And lastly,
0:44
Speaker 1: a seven-year-old got punished by her school for saying all
0:48
Speaker 1: lives matter. All of this on Bundy to report early edition. Okay,
1:03
Speaker 1: so Time Magazine changed its iconic Trump cover photo for
1:08
Speaker 1: its August issue, and people are speculating why. Let's pull
1:12
Speaker 1: up the side-by-side so you can see what it was
1:14
Speaker 1: before and after.
1:15
Speaker 3: Do we have that?
1:18
Speaker 1: Okay, so you see there's Trump with his fist in
1:20
Speaker 1: the air. There's blood on his face. You have the
1:22
Speaker 1: American flag in the background. Then they change it to
1:26
Speaker 1: this really somber black-and-white photo.
1:29
Speaker 2: No Trump. What unites us, I think it says.
1:32
Speaker 1: And people are speculating, end of wokeness speculating, why did
1:35
Speaker 1: Time change the cover? And it's pretty simple because it
1:40
Speaker 1: made Trump look good. And Democrats know that. And as
1:43
Speaker 1: Dan always says, campaigns are snapshots and soundbites. And this
1:47
Speaker 1: is a great snapshot of Trump. And they don't want
1:51
Speaker 1: regular Americans to be seeing it because they know that
1:54
Speaker 1: it is harmful to Democrats and their electoral chances in November. Now,
1:59
Speaker 1: it's not just Time magazine. This is from Fox News.
2:03
Speaker 1: They say an Axios Media Trend assessment on Tuesday argued
2:08
Speaker 1: that the quote overuse of the iconic image can pose risks,
2:13
Speaker 1: citing unnamed photographers who reportedly told the outlet that promoting
2:16
Speaker 1: the viral photos could be a form of photo ganda
2:20
Speaker 1: because the Trump campaign will use them to quote further
2:23
Speaker 1: its agenda.
2:25
Speaker 2: So is this I mean, this is just silliness.
2:27
Speaker 3: Right.
2:27
Speaker 1: And the irony of it should be so apparent. They're
2:31
Speaker 1: saying they don't want to promote Trump propaganda. But by
2:34
Speaker 1: censoring the Trump photo and refusing to show it in
2:38
Speaker 1: their reporting, they are acting as propagandists for the Democrats.
2:43
Speaker 1: So completely be clowning themselves in this statement. And so
2:47
Speaker 1: just be sure to save the Trump photo. Who knows
2:50
Speaker 1: if it'll get banned by the left wing media eventually, right?
2:53
Speaker 1: They hate things that are harmful to their own political
2:58
Speaker 1: aims and they will stop at nothing to assert themselves
3:02
Speaker 1: and to control what we see, what we hear, what
3:04
Speaker 1: we think ultimately. Also note that The people who want
3:08
Speaker 1: this Trump photo scrubbed are the ones who have this
3:12
Speaker 1: idea that Republicans are propagandists and they need to be
3:16
Speaker 1: censored for their mis- and disinformation online. These, of course,
3:19
Speaker 1: are the most pervasive mis- and disinformationists in the entire country, right?
3:26
Speaker 1: The legacy media. So it's and I'll just note that
3:30
Speaker 1: it's not just a legacy media that recognizes the power
3:33
Speaker 1: of this Trump photo. They've just had the worst reaction
3:35
Speaker 1: to it. This is a young Gen Z leftist talking
3:39
Speaker 1: about how he knows this photo is going to be
3:42
Speaker 1: received very positively by the American public. And he is
3:46
Speaker 1: really upset about it. Let's play that video.
3:48
Speaker 4: I'm so mad because that picture of Trump getting shot eats.
3:50
Speaker 1: No! It eats.
3:59
Speaker 4: Why does it eat? I'm so mad.
4:03
Speaker 3: And I just feel like if it was Biden, I
4:05
Speaker 3: feel like Biden wouldn't even have made it, bitch.
4:07
Speaker 4: He wouldn't have made it.
4:08
Speaker 3: He would have froze, bitch, in place and went like this.
4:16
Speaker 1: Okay, for the older viewers saying that something eats, it
4:19
Speaker 1: just means it's awesome.
4:20
Speaker 2: It means it's iconic.
4:22
Speaker 1: And at least this young leftist is honest about his
4:25
Speaker 1: Trump assessment. He says, yeah, it's going to be great.
4:27
Speaker 1: People are going to love this photo, and it sucks
4:29
Speaker 1: for us as Democrats. The media is doing this weird
4:32
Speaker 1: word game where they're saying, oh, we're censoring it, not
4:35
Speaker 1: because we know it'll be really good for Trump.
4:37
Speaker 2: We just don't want to promote propaganda. They're just so silly.
4:41
Speaker 1: And Tucker Carlson pointed out the power of this photo
4:45
Speaker 1: as well. And I really like the way he articulates it.
4:48
Speaker 1: Let's play that video.
4:50
Speaker 5: Well, Trump won when that happened because he displayed physical courage. And,
4:56
Speaker 5: you know, if you live in a society where people
4:58
Speaker 5: are literally dating by remote virtually and working virtually, you
5:02
Speaker 5: can kind of lose touch with the physical reality of life.
5:07
Speaker 5: But the unchanging truth is that leadership requires courage and
5:11
Speaker 5: not just abstract courage, moral courage, But physical courage. You know,
5:16
Speaker 5: someone starts shooting a rifle. Like, are you going to
5:18
Speaker 5: wet yourself and start crying and run away? Are you
5:20
Speaker 5: going to stand up and look at your people and
5:23
Speaker 5: raise your fist and say, fight? And very few people
5:26
Speaker 5: are capable of doing that. And he is. And therefore,
5:30
Speaker 5: he wins.
5:32
Speaker 2: I think in a culture.
5:34
Speaker 1: where masculinity is so demonized, we forget how much people
5:39
Speaker 1: are just instinctually attracted to brave, strong leaders. And again,
5:45
Speaker 1: in a time period where we demonize masculinity, we call
5:48
Speaker 1: it toxic. There's this perception that only men are attracted
5:52
Speaker 1: to strength and bravery. And that's not the case at all.
5:56
Speaker 1: As a woman, I can tell you, I don't feel
5:58
Speaker 1: safe knowing that my country is in the hands of
6:00
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. who apparently has cleared his schedule because he
6:04
Speaker 1: has COVID, which should be if you're a healthy individual,
6:06
Speaker 1: like the common flu or a cold. And to him,
6:09
Speaker 1: it's completely knocked him out because this is a very
6:12
Speaker 1: frail man.
6:12
Speaker 2: I don't blame him. He's very old. He's clearly in
6:15
Speaker 2: cognitive decline. I don't feel safe with him running the country.
6:18
Speaker 2: But you know what?
6:18
Speaker 1: I do feel safe with the guy who got shot
6:20
Speaker 1: and then put his fist in the air and started saying, fight.
6:23
Speaker 1: that's who makes me say okay yeah I'm I feel
6:25
Speaker 1: comfortable with him leading the country that's the masculine energy
6:28
Speaker 1: that I think people want to see from the leader
6:31
Speaker 1: of the free world we're going to keep talking about
6:34
Speaker 1: media corruption this story is wild an NBC correspondent said
6:38
Speaker 1: that it was quote disturbing to see signs supporting mass
6:43
Speaker 1: deportation at the RNC let's play that.
6:45
Speaker 6: Video and most startling but not surprising is the fact
6:49
Speaker 6: that the campaign itself, the RNC, handed out signs to
6:54
Speaker 6: support the party platform saying mass deportations now. And there
6:59
Speaker 6: was something about being— this is a photo I took last
7:01
Speaker 6: night— there was something about being in the audience and seeing
7:05
Speaker 6: thousands of people hold these signs that was disturbing, that
7:09
Speaker 6: was troubling, quite frankly.
7:11
Speaker 1: That guy just looks like a beta. I mean, he's
7:13
Speaker 1: such a schmuck just sitting there. I just— Ugh, they
7:16
Speaker 1: put the worst people on air on MSNBC. Okay, but
7:19
Speaker 1: you know what I find disturbing? The millions of people
7:22
Speaker 1: who are flooding over our border and we have no
7:25
Speaker 1: idea who they are. Reports that military-aged Chinese males are
7:29
Speaker 1: coming over the border.
7:30
Speaker 2: Again, no idea who they are.
7:32
Speaker 1: That the taxpayers are funding the food, water, and shelter
7:36
Speaker 1: of these illegal immigrants who came over our border, broke
7:39
Speaker 1: our laws, and are invading our country.
7:41
Speaker 2: That's disturbing to me.
7:43
Speaker 1: The fact that you have real citizens who want to
7:46
Speaker 1: have their voices heard in the ballot box and their
7:49
Speaker 1: voices are being diluted because in November, we know tons
7:52
Speaker 1: and tons of illegals are going to vote in the
7:54
Speaker 1: election because Biden refuses to sign into law the SAVE Act,
7:57
Speaker 1: which says you have to prove you're a citizen if
7:59
Speaker 1: you want to actually vote.
8:01
Speaker 2: That's disturbing to me. It's disturbing to me that our
8:04
Speaker 2: leaders think.
8:04
Speaker 1: It's okay to have the working class struggle as they
8:09
Speaker 1: are because they're importing all of this cheap labor just
8:12
Speaker 1: to please major corporations, that's disturbing to me. It's disturbing
8:16
Speaker 1: to me that NBC thinks that it's normal to have
8:19
Speaker 1: mass illegal immigration. These are disturbing things that this guy
8:23
Speaker 1: thinks it's disturbing for regular Americans who care about putting
8:27
Speaker 1: our country and its citizens first is disturbing. I just,
8:32
Speaker 1: I can't with, they have lost all credibility. They really have.
8:37
Speaker 1: This story from, again, from MSNBC is, in my view,
8:43
Speaker 1: makes them lose even more credibility.
8:45
Speaker 2: Than the last story.
8:46
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow claimed that the Lord of the Rings is a, quote,
8:50
Speaker 1: favorite of the far right during her RNC coverage.
8:55
Speaker 2: And she was specifically talking about J.D.
8:57
Speaker 1: Vance and his love for Lord of the Rings.
9:00
Speaker 2: Let's play that. Like Mr.
9:02
Speaker 7: Thiel, who has named his companies after things in the
9:04
Speaker 7: Lord of the Rings series of J.R.R.
9:06
Speaker 8: Tolkien books.
9:08
Speaker 7: Lord of the Rings is a sort of favorite cosmos
9:12
Speaker 7: for naming things and cultural references for a lot of
9:15
Speaker 7: far right and alt right figures, both in Europe and
9:17
Speaker 7: the United States. Peter Thiel names all these things after
9:20
Speaker 7: Tolkien figures and places, like his company Palantir, for example.
9:25
Speaker 7: Like his mentor, like Peter Thiel, who had given him
9:27
Speaker 7: all his jobs in the world.
9:29
Speaker 5: Mr.
9:29
Speaker 7: Vance also, when he founded his own venture capital firm
9:33
Speaker 7: with help from Peter Thiel, named it after a Lord
9:35
Speaker 7: of the Rings thing. He called it Narya, N-A-R-Y-A, which
9:39
Speaker 7: you can remember because it's Aryan, but you move the
9:41
Speaker 7: N to the front. Apparently that word has something to
9:44
Speaker 7: do with elves and rings from the Lord of the
9:47
Speaker 7: Rings series.
9:48
Speaker 4: I don't know.
9:49
Speaker 2: She's such a weirdo.
9:50
Speaker 1: Who says that Lord of the Rings is, you know,
9:53
Speaker 1: a bad thing because it's associated somehow with the far right. Yes,
9:59
Speaker 1: my husband says he's a far right extremist because he
10:01
Speaker 1: loves Lord of the Rings.
10:02
Speaker 2: I like Lord of the Rings too.
10:03
Speaker 1: I first read the books when I was in college
10:06
Speaker 1: because I wanted to take a class on them by
10:08
Speaker 1: one of my favorite professors, Rachel Fulton Brown.
10:10
Speaker 2: She also streams if you ever want to look into her.
10:13
Speaker 1: But I wasn't just... encapsulated by them. I thought they
10:16
Speaker 1: were amazing. I had never read anything like the Hobbit
10:19
Speaker 1: or the Lord of the Rings trilogy. They were truly beautiful,
10:23
Speaker 1: creative works. And it feels like the left hates everything
10:27
Speaker 1: good and beautiful in the world. Why else would you
10:29
Speaker 1: have a vendetta against a Lord of the Rings? which
10:32
Speaker 1: is one of the most beautiful, one of the most
10:36
Speaker 1: impactful stories on Western Civ in modern history.
10:41
Speaker 2: So, so bizarre from Rachel Maddow.
10:43
Speaker 1: And I think part of it probably has to do
10:45
Speaker 1: with the fact that it's rooted in Christianity.
10:47
Speaker 3: J.R.R.
10:48
Speaker 2: Tolkien was a devout Christian.
10:51
Speaker 9: Catholic.
10:52
Speaker 1: This was a uniquely Christian work. And it seems like
10:55
Speaker 1: the left just hates anything that is uniquely Christian. They
10:59
Speaker 1: hate anything that is good in our culture. And instead,
11:02
Speaker 1: they tend to uplift things that are ugly and frankly evil.
11:07
Speaker 2: We're going to take a quick break.
11:08
Speaker 1: And when we come back, we're going to talk about
11:10
Speaker 1: one of the worst Joe Biden gaffes I have seen
11:12
Speaker 1: all week, which is saying something because he's been making
11:15
Speaker 1: a lot of mistakes all week.
11:17
Speaker 2: So stay tuned.

12:08
Speaker 1: During this interview with the Black Entertainment Television Network, Biden
12:14
Speaker 1: could not remember the name of Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
12:19
Speaker 1: And it is painful to watch.
12:22
Speaker 2: Let's play it.
12:23
Speaker 4: And so it's all about, it's all about treating people
12:27
Speaker 4: with dignity.
12:29
Speaker 9: And it's about making sure that, for example, look at
12:32
Speaker 9: the heat I'm getting in. Because I named the Secretary
12:37
Speaker 9: of Defense, the black man, I named Ketanji Brown.
12:41
Speaker 4: I mean, because of the people I've named.
12:44
Speaker 1: The black man, literally that was his little insert there.
12:48
Speaker 1: And it's so embarrassing for the Biden admin. It's probably
12:51
Speaker 1: more embarrassing for the media because of the double standard.
12:54
Speaker 1: Of course, if this was a Republican who couldn't remember
12:56
Speaker 1: someone's name and they said, oh, it's the black man,
12:59
Speaker 1: they'd call this person racist incessantly, but it's Joe Biden,
13:02
Speaker 1: so they're not gonna say that. But I don't think
13:04
Speaker 1: it's racist. What it is is he's in cognitive decline.
13:08
Speaker 1: This is a man who is losing it on a
13:10
Speaker 1: national stage. And again, I have to say, Why doesn't
13:14
Speaker 1: he just retire in Delaware, in his mansion, paid for
13:17
Speaker 1: by Ukrainian and Chinese cash?
13:19
Speaker 2: It's perfect, right?
13:20
Speaker 1: I don't understand why he is putting himself through this.
13:23
Speaker 1: I don't understand why Jill Biden is putting her husband
13:26
Speaker 1: through this.
13:26
Speaker 2: I have one more Joe Biden video. This one is
13:30
Speaker 2: also tough to watch. Just, I think we can, can
13:32
Speaker 2: we do it as a VO? Michael, yeah, let's do that. Okay,
13:36
Speaker 2: so he's walking down the stairs and he is moving
13:41
Speaker 2: so slow.
13:43
Speaker 1: And he has to, right? Because he's fallen so many
13:45
Speaker 1: times up and down the stairs. He's tripped over his
13:49
Speaker 1: own feet, actually, and there's no stairs involved. Okay, so
13:52
Speaker 1: he's slowly making his way down.
13:55
Speaker 2: And then at one point, he just pauses.
13:59
Speaker 1: And he looks like he doesn't know where he's going,
14:03
Speaker 1: what he's doing.
14:05
Speaker 2: The whole thing.
14:10
Speaker 1: And it's like you know that you see there's nothing coming.
14:15
Speaker 1: He's not consuming anything that they're saying, right? It's just
14:19
Speaker 1: a blank stare. Someone needs to just let this man retire.
14:24
Speaker 1: He just needs to retire. He appears more and more
14:28
Speaker 1: fragile every time we see him.
14:31
Speaker 2: This is another video. This one is bad.
14:33
Speaker 1: Joy Reid and Jen Psaki are claiming that Biden having
14:37
Speaker 1: COVID and recovering from it, he hasn't recovered yet, but
14:41
Speaker 1: if and when he does recover is the same thing
14:43
Speaker 1: as Trump literally surviving a gun shot to the face.
14:47
Speaker 2: Let's play that one.
14:49
Speaker 8: These two men are both elderly.
14:51
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is an elderly man who, for whatever reason,
14:54
Speaker 3: was given nine seconds to take a iconic photo op
14:57
Speaker 3: during an active shooter situation. Weird situation. We'll figure that
15:01
Speaker 3: out one day. But his survival of that and bouncing
15:06
Speaker 3: right back and going right to his convention is being
15:08
Speaker 3: conveyed in the media world as a sign of strength.
15:11
Speaker 3: This current president of the United States is 81 years old.
15:16
Speaker 3: and has COVID, should he be fine in a couple
15:19
Speaker 3: of days? Doesn't that convey exactly the same thing? That
15:23
Speaker 3: he's strong enough, older than Trump, to have gotten something
15:26
Speaker 3: that used to really be fatal to people his age.
15:30
Speaker 3: So if he does fine out of it and comes
15:33
Speaker 3: back and is able to do rallies, isn't that exactly
15:35
Speaker 3: the same? I mean, it's not exactly the same. It's
15:38
Speaker 3: not the same incident, but it's an elderly man coming
15:41
Speaker 3: through out of an illness. What?
15:45
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm sorry, getting shot, looking like a badass with
15:49
Speaker 1: your fist in the air and blood on your face
15:51
Speaker 1: is the same thing as recovering from COVID?
15:55
Speaker 2: Is that the same thing, Michael? No, it's not. It's silliness.
16:01
Speaker 2: It's propaganda.
16:02
Speaker 1: Like the first story we did where they're taking away
16:04
Speaker 1: the Trump photo and getting rid of it because they
16:06
Speaker 1: know it'll help Republicans.
16:08
Speaker 2: Such absolute brain rot.
16:10
Speaker 1: Speaking of brain rot, brain rot, it gets worse from
16:14
Speaker 1: Joy Reid. She has now gone straight into full Trump
16:19
Speaker 1: getting shot trutherism. The whole thing is crazy and full
16:23
Speaker 1: of conspiracies. Let's play this video of Joy Reid. And
16:25
Speaker 1: by the way, she would not be able to say
16:27
Speaker 1: this on MSNBC because MSNBC has been trying to reel
16:30
Speaker 1: in their hosts from the insanity. And Joy Reid is
16:33
Speaker 1: now doing her own little videos, pushing the craziness because
16:37
Speaker 1: her own network is saying, whoa, we have to tone
16:39
Speaker 1: it back. You guys have to bring the crazy in
16:42
Speaker 1: just a little bit.
16:42
Speaker 2: Let's play that.
16:43
Speaker 3: Yet they allowed him to stand up in the middle
16:46
Speaker 3: of that, you know, crisis and pose for a photo
16:53
Speaker 3: and fist pump the air so he could get the
16:56
Speaker 3: iconic photo. And then they allowed him to stand up
16:59
Speaker 3: again outside of the SUV instead of just shoving him
17:02
Speaker 3: into the SUV. That seems really unusual. What is the
17:06
Speaker 3: actual injury to Donald Trump's ear that's under that bandage?
17:10
Speaker 3: Shouldn't we know that by now? It's weird. And there
17:13
Speaker 3: doesn't seem to be a whole lot of curiosity about it,
17:16
Speaker 3: you know, in the sort of media world, you know,
17:19
Speaker 3: my profession. It's weird, right? Where are the FOIAs? Why
17:23
Speaker 3: isn't the New York Times, like, aggressively pursuing his medical records?
17:29
Speaker 1: So Trump was not actually shot and it was all
17:32
Speaker 1: for a photo op, apparently, according to Joy Reid.
17:36
Speaker 2: It was all a setup. Weird. She's just weird.
17:40
Speaker 1: And just a reminder that this is a woman who
17:43
Speaker 1: thinks you and I should be censored because We're the
17:46
Speaker 1: ones who espouse misinformation. She and the rest of the
17:49
Speaker 1: legacy media believe that they have a monopoly on truth.
17:53
Speaker 1: If your name is not Jesus Christ, you don't have
17:55
Speaker 1: a monopoly on the truth. Nobody can be telling you
17:57
Speaker 1: what is and isn't true. Joy Reid, unlike myself, thinks
18:01
Speaker 1: that she has the right to tell us what media
18:04
Speaker 1: we're allowed to consume, what we're allowed to hear, what
18:06
Speaker 1: we're allowed to see, what we're allowed to to think
18:10
Speaker 1: because she is a lunatic and I'm okay with her
18:13
Speaker 1: saying crazy things.
18:14
Speaker 2: I'm okay. Go ahead.
18:15
Speaker 1: Say as much crazy crap as you want. That's fine
18:17
Speaker 1: with me. What's not fine with me is when you say, yeah,
18:20
Speaker 1: I'm the arbiter of truth. You have to shut up
18:23
Speaker 1: and be quiet because I don't like what you're saying
18:25
Speaker 1: and I'm going to smear you as a disinformationist because
18:28
Speaker 1: what you're saying is inconvenient to me.
18:30
Speaker 2: I don't like it.
18:31
Speaker 1: It's the same reason we have groups like Garm and
18:34
Speaker 1: NewsGuard who will go to advertisers and say, You don't
18:39
Speaker 1: want to work with Dan Bongino. You don't want to
18:41
Speaker 1: work with The Federalist. You don't want to work with
18:44
Speaker 1: The Daily Wire. These people are dangerous. You can't collaborate
18:48
Speaker 1: with them. And then they destroy our ability to make money.
18:50
Speaker 1: So I'm fine with Joy being dumb. What I'm not
18:52
Speaker 1: fine with is her destroying the ability for alternative media,
18:57
Speaker 1: which frankly is truthful media most of the time compared
19:01
Speaker 1: to them, destroying their ability to make money, destroying their careers.
19:06
Speaker 2: That's what I have a problem with.
19:08
Speaker 1: This last story is so sad to me. It makes
19:13
Speaker 1: me think about the state of our country just being
19:16
Speaker 1: in disarray, our legal system really in disarray. In 2021,
19:20
Speaker 1: a seven-year-old girl wrote any life over a Black Lives
19:25
Speaker 1: Matter drawing. Essentially trying to make the point that all
19:27
Speaker 1: lives matter. And the school principal told this child that
19:31
Speaker 1: her drawing was inappropriate and racist. A seven-year-old. She said
19:36
Speaker 1: this about a seven-year-old's little addition to a Black Lives
19:40
Speaker 1: Matter poster. And the principal made her publicly apologize and
19:45
Speaker 1: banter from recess and drawing pictures for two weeks.
19:49
Speaker 2: A seven-year-old.
19:50
Speaker 1: Now, the girl's family filed a lawsuit against the school district,
19:54
Speaker 1: said that they violated their daughter's First Amendment rights, and
19:58
Speaker 1: a California judge ruled against the parents. And they said
20:02
Speaker 1: the teachers had the right to punish this seven-year-old. And
20:07
Speaker 1: this is what the judge said when he made this decision.
20:11
Speaker 1: He said,' Students have the right to be free from
20:13
Speaker 1: speech' that denigrates their race while at school.' Only in California.
20:19
Speaker 1: It was a blatant violation of this girl's First Amendment rights.
20:23
Speaker 1: California doesn't care. We have a video of this girl's
20:25
Speaker 1: mother that I think is important to watch.
20:27
Speaker 2: Let's play that.
20:28
Speaker 9: I knew it was wrong fundamentally. I knew something was wrong.
20:35
Speaker 9: Like my rights, my daughter's rights were taken away. And
20:40
Speaker 9: I just had to reach out and started reaching out
20:41
Speaker 9: and asking people. I didn't know what the name of
20:44
Speaker 9: it was. I didn't even know what compelled speech was
20:46
Speaker 9: until I started talking to attorneys.
20:48
Speaker 8: Let's keep that picture up on the screen. Take a
20:50
Speaker 8: look at it. It says Black Lives Matter and any
20:53
Speaker 8: life written on the bottom. And then there's some cute
20:56
Speaker 8: little drawings there. I mean, basically, they're equating this with
20:59
Speaker 8: the Klan, it seems.
21:02
Speaker 2: My heart really goes out to this mother.
21:04
Speaker 1: I think that she did something really brave, even though
21:06
Speaker 1: California is set up to destroy freedom at every opportunity
21:10
Speaker 1: that it gets. I think it's a reminder that you
21:13
Speaker 1: probably don't want to send your kids to public school,
21:15
Speaker 1: but if you do, it's important to be brave. And
21:18
Speaker 1: so many parents like this mother don't know what to
21:21
Speaker 1: do when they're faced with a situation like this, when
21:23
Speaker 1: they realize, oh, this public school is radically politicized and
21:28
Speaker 1: is set up to indoctrinate my child. And they say,
21:32
Speaker 1: you know, oftentimes they just do nothing, right? I mean,
21:35
Speaker 1: that's the obvious choice when you don't know where to turn.
21:38
Speaker 1: And this mother took everything And that is a very
21:42
Speaker 1: powerful thing that I hope a lot of other people
21:45
Speaker 1: do in their own lives if they're faced with something similar.
21:49
Speaker 1: We are fighting people that do not believe in truth
21:54
Speaker 1: that will turn their vitriol and their hatred, not just
21:57
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump, not just on Peter Navarro or Steve Bannon.
22:02
Speaker 1: They turned their rage and their, their hatred on a
22:06
Speaker 1: seven-year-old who opposes them, right?
22:09
Speaker 2: Ideologically.
22:10
Speaker 1: Anything that stands in the way of their own progress
22:14
Speaker 1: or of their own narratives, they will destroy. They will
22:18
Speaker 1: try to shame publicly, even if it's a seven-year-old girl.
22:23
Speaker 1: That is what we are facing right now.
22:25
Speaker 2: That is the stakes.
22:27
Speaker 1: And if you, again, if we don't do anything, if
22:29
Speaker 1: we stand aside and allow these people to treat us
22:33
Speaker 1: and our children this way, you will lose the country.
22:36
Speaker 2: So be like this mom. I like her a lot.
22:38
Speaker 1: I think that she did something really great here. And
22:41

Speaker 4: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
23:00
Speaker 4: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
23:04
Speaker 4: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
23:06
Speaker 4: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
23:09
