Kathy Barnette: LBJ's Confession, Black Pastors Were Paid Off, and the 60-Year Betrayal · Unshaken & Unafraid with Joe Pags

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Kathie, what are you thinking? Why would you ever not
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: take the easy road and just be a Democrat and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hate everybody?
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: I know, I tell my friends all the time, I
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: didn't get any benefit from being black, Like I didn't
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: get any of the privileges, so any of those things.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, what is it in our day and age
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: that we're one hundred and fifty years away from slavery?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Things still aren't perfect, we're still working on it. But
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: you've got young black people in this country coming up
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in places like Chicago and Washington, DC taking over malls
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and taking over the Chipotle and you know, doing these
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: team takeovers. And they're not just takeovers, they're they're rioting,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: They're causing mayhem, they're vandalizing. Is this a lack of
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: parents problem? Is this a perception? Is their reality problem?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: What do you think is going on?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: You know what, I would choose all of the above, right,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: And it's not. And it's much bigger than just a
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: black people problem or just woke white people problem.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: There is something that has been lost fundamentally with our country.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: And it was one of the reasons why.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: When I came out and decided to run for office,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I started sharing my own story as a reminder to
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the American people of how far our nation has moved right,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Because if anyone had the ability to claim to be
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a victim, I think I were qualified for it. I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: grew up on a pig farm, grew up in a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: home with no insallation, no running water, outhouse, and the
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: back weld on the side. I grew up in the
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: home of my great great great grandmother, Rota, who was
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a slave. So I had the blood of slaves coursing
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: through my veins. And yet when I was growing up
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: in dire poverty, I don't recall anyone ever looking at
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: me and saying, Kathy, hang it up, you got three strikes.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: You're black, you're a woman, you're poor. It's over, kid.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: No one ever said that.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Instead, I saw every household in that little community had
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: a man, had a father in the household. Everyone wore
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: the mother well always in the home. It was a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: community that had the bar of expectation was raised high
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: for the black kids.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: In that community.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It wasn't a bar of low expectation for us. And
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I never grew up thinking I.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Was a victim.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: No one ever told me I was a victim, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: so I went on to create truly an amazing life
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: off standing on the shoulders of so many who came
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: before me. Right, I don't have a victim mentality, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I certainly didn't pass it down to my children. But
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: what we're watching today, whether we're looking at black kids
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: acting wild and uncontrolled, or whether we're looking at these
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: highly privileged white kids behaving in ways that are or
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: woke white women who are behaving in ways that are
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: completely unseemly, there's something deeper that is going on, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I believe it is a weaponization of the history of
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: this country. To get a marriage is to really just
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: it was someone said America cannot be destroyed from without.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: It would be if we are destroyed, it would be
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: from with then, And that is what we're watching and unraveling.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: From with then.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It is Kathy Barnett. Go to Kathy with a k.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Barnett b A R N E T T E dot com.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Go get her book. It's called Nothing to Lose, Everything
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to gain being black and conservative in America. I want
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: voices like yours to be amplified. That's why I'm so
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: happy to have you back in my show. Voices like yours,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: and voices like others that have come from nothing. Ben
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Carson came from nothing, a poor kid in Detroit became
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the world renowned neurosurgeon. You are examples Tiger Woods taking
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: on golf and doing so well as he did for
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: getting his recent you know, problems that he's had, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: he was somebody that told the black community you can
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: go play golf. You're telling people you can be a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: talk show host, you can be an author, you can
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: run for office. Ben Carson, you can be a brain surgeon.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: His brother is a rocket scientist. For god sis. We
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: need more examples like that. But instead, the examples that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we're throwing at at the young black children in this
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: country are Barack Obama who grew up privileged in Hawaii.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Are Kamala Harris, who grew up privileged in Canada, you
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. And they're trying to act like
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: they're from the hood. They're from the streets. I'll never forget.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama was in the booth as the White Sox
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: were playing the baseball game, and the announcers said, what
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is your favorite team growing up? He said, the White Sox.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I'm a White Sox guy. And he said, who is
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: your favorite player growing up? Just an innocuous question, Kathy.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: He couldn't name one player because he's lying. So why
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: is it that the spot like it shined on people
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: like that that aren't a good example to Black America
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and not on people like you who are.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it is a grift. It is a tremendous
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: amount of power. And that is what the Jesse Jackson's
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: and Al Sharpton's learned during the sixties. Shelby Steele and
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: his son Eli Still, they wrote a book that they
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: coined White Guilt and what they realized in the sixties
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: because up until you know LBJ and the Great and
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the Great Society and the Civil Rights movement or the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Civil Rights Bill, in the early.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Nineteen sixty three nineteen sixty.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Four, black people were actually becoming on parity with white people.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And I mean the number of doctors and lawyers, it
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: was exponential in the black community, the number of businesses
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and intact family. There were more black people getting married
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: than white people who were getting married. The number of
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: children growing up and a two parent household was seventy
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: percent or higher. In New York City, for example. Today
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: is the inverse where eighty percent of black children are
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: growing up in a single parent household. So we were
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: actually becoming on parody with white people.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: And then you had you know.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: LBJ, the Great White Society, Civil Rights Movement, Education Board,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: and what they realized, the black grifters like Al Sharpton
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: and others, they realized this thing called white guilt. You
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: had white people who felt some kind of way about
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: how black people, you know, the disparities between black people
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and white people, with Jim Crow and all of that,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and they realize, oh, we can we can grift off
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of this, we can take advantage of this, and we
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: can sell access to these white white people, many of
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: them into the black community Just pay me nineteen ninety nine.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Then you had on the other side.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Of that coin of white guilt, Shelby Steele and his
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: son Eli still talk about, is white people who wanted
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: at that time, white liberals, who white democrats who wanted
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: to take advantage and get access to the Black community.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: So you had this symbiotic relationship of those who were
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the spokespeople for a black community selling access to the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: black community and selling a lot of the narratives that
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: have kept black people on what many of us call
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: the Democrat plantation for seventy plus years. The good thing
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: about it is that you have a number of black people.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: I've done many shows with black men on the streets
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: of Philadelphia who are beginning to wake up to this
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: narrative that they've been living according to for the past
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: seventy years, that if you're black, you must vote Democrat,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: otherwise you're not black.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: They're waking up to it now.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: They're not waking up to the narrative and becoming a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Republicist necessarily. But the opportunity in this disruption is that
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: for the first time in my lifetime, black people are
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: questioning this narrative that if you're black, you must vote Democrat.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: And I think that is the opportunity for us.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Biden literally said that to Charlemage or somebody.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: He said, if you don't know who to vote for,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: you ain't black. So when you do something like that,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: when we go back and unraveling what you just said,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: was very very intelligent, but let's deep dive it a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: little bit. LBJ was one of the biggest races we've
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: ever had in the White House period. End of story.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: He didn't do that because he cared about black people.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: He did that because he wanted to own the black vote.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: And in fact that worked. It worked very well. There
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: were black economies in black neighborhoods that were better than
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: a lot of white economies. And like you said, doctors
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and lawyers and teachers and those running schools and business owners.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That was flourishing. And what the government did in nineteen
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: sixty four, by that swife of a pen was say
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: we're going to give you everything unique because it's unfair
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in our society. Suddenly they told black fathers, don't worry
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: about being in the house. We'll take care of the kids.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: They told black moms and dads, don't worry about working hard.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: We'll give you some free food and some free money
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: and some free education. And once you've got your grips
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: in a community like that, it's hard to give it up.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'll hold my nose and vote for Trump, but
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I don't want to lose all of my entitlements that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I'm getting. We've got two or three generations of young
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Black Americans that grew up thinking daddy government owes me something,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and that disincentivizes people from succeeding. I mean, that's what
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I think you and I are saying the same thing, right.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: I am so emotional. I was just listening to you.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: I am pissed off.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Good hang up here.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Black people.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: I mean I would drive, I take I take the
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: streets mostly when I drive around Philadelphia, so that I
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: can learn the different neighborhoods. And you know, every single
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: time when you just drove into a predominantly black community,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: because it's concrete jungle, no green space, it's bug bit
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: bedbug signs everywhere, trash and mattresses lined up.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: Liquor stores on every corner.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: You don't see businesses, you don't see you don't see
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: home ownership in most of these inner city black, predominantly
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: black communities, And it just.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Really rubs me raw.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And I think again, black men, specifically black women, it's
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: a different story, but black men. I saw this when
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I was running against doctor Oz and others in that
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Pennsylvania senatorial race back in twenty twenty two.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Black men are waking up.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Black men are at the bottom of any list where
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: something is being delineated as good. If you pick any
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: list that shows anything positive, Black men specifically are at
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: the bottom of that list. And you're right, the government
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: became the black woman's baby daddy.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: He's paying for the rent, he's paying for the food,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: paying for.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Internet, paying for car. You basically don't have to work.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: You only need to never have a man in the home,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: living in the home, and establishing a family. And we
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: understand the role of the father and the importance of
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: the father. Martin Luther King Junior said, the greatest weapon
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: against poverty is a two parent household. Like that's the
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: beginning of the destruction of poverty. And that's the very
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: thing that with the swipe of a pen, as you said,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Lennon B. Johnson and the Democrat Party kind of wrote
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that into law.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: And we have seen it. And Lendon B.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Johnson is the one who said it that we will
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: have these n words voting Republicans for the next seventy years.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: And he did not lie. We have I think I.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: Think you said two hundred years. Actually I think you
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: said yeah. I mean, he looks like a huge We
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: still I live in Texas. We have parks named after
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: this idiot. We've got a lake named after this guy.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're still acting like he somehow was the
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: be all end. He wasn't. He was the person that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: told black men, you have no responsibility in society, you
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: have no responsibility for your family. We got it, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: then black men his whole his whole purpose was to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: disenfranchise black men from being leaders in their community. And
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: it worked. And it makes me crazy, but I do
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: think that there's there's a change happening. It's Kathy Barnett.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Go get her book. It's called Nothing to Lose, Everything
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to Gain being Black and conservative in America. And I
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: don't want to make this all about race, because you've
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: got a lot to say about a lot of other things.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: But let me finish with this. Yeah, as as I
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: was growing up in a two parent household, my mother,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I think, let me flourish intellectually, let me flourish through
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: my of words. My father just had to give me
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a look, and if I was acting out, I stopped.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I did not want to disappoint dad. And I'm now
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: the father of five daughters, and I've got three grandchildren.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: And you met one of my daughters recently in New York.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And these people are going up knowing that Dad was
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: going to be sort of the compass when it came
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to responsibility. Mom does everything else, but that's that's my role,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and I love that role. I think any man, black, white,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: anything in between would love to have that role if
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: they know it's there for them. But instead, we've got
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a community that thinks I don't have to take responsibility
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: for what I'm doing here. Let me go act out.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: How do we fix that? How do we make how
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: do we make young black men understand that taking I
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: feel great being the leader of my house. I feel
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: great being somebody that my daughters can turn to for advice.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: How do we make young black men understand that's their
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: role too?
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: You know it's not going to happen overnight, right like
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: what we've been the fruits of Lbjy's labor did not
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: happen overnight.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: It took time.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: But let me also say LB Jay could not have
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: done what he did, and woke white Democrats could not
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: have done what they did if it wasn't for black pastors, primarily.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: Jesse Jackson's right.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they pay them off, and they continue to pay
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: many of these black pastors in the black community off because,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: unlike any other community, the black pastor have historically held
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the role of going out into the culture, getting the
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: information coming back into the Black community and and and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: breaking it down for of what it is we need
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: to do, what's right, what's wrong? Uh, it's just the
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: historical positioning of the of the black pastor and the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: black community. And so so, you know, so I don't
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: want to give LBJ all the credit for destroying the
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: black family. You also have a big bright spotlight on
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: black pastors as.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Well, who have been.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: A significant gatekeeper who gets to come into the black
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: community and speak to the black community. But with that said,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: you know, this is one of the things that I mean,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't even know I was fighting against feminism when
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: I was fighting against feminism as a young girl, when
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I gave my life to the Lord at nineteen and
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: began to say, well, that looks stupid with the you know,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: the feminist playbook that is handed down to every little
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: girl that says, you know, you can go out into
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: like that. You can go into a night club by yourself.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: You can buy a drink, you can walk away from
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: the drink, you can come back and drink the drink,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and you never have to worry about someone spiking your
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: drink because you have in my case, black Girl Magic,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: or for your daughter Sam's case, you go girl magic. Right,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: you are a woman, Let everybody hear you roar. And
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: what feminism has done over the years for those who
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: are played by the feminist playbook, I'm looking at a
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: lot of thirty eight and forty two year old women
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: who are looking back and saying, Oh my god, what
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: have I done with my life? I slept with any
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: and everyone. I now have HPV and every other kind
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: of venarial disease.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I'm not married.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I'm looking you know, I've made myself kind of ineligible
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: for a man to want to marry.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: What have I done with my life?
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: And I, you know, a lot of my time when
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: I speak on the radio or in public speaking, I'm
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: talking about how feminism has betrayed the woman, and how
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: feminism has alienated men and women, making it very difficult
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: for men and women, husband and wife to come together
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: and to communicate and to build a family in the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: right way. Right. So, I'm spending a lot of my
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: time talking to my seventeen year old daughter what it
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: means to be a woman, and the ideal situation is
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: for her to leave the covering of her father and
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: brother who loves her very much, and walk into the
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: covering of her husband.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Because there are predators everywhere looking.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: To hurt and to harm our young girls, and we're
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: watching that, whether in Europe or even hear on our
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: own land. I'm talking to my twenty year old son
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: making sure he knows not to marry a feminist woman,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: but to you know, and what will happen if he
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: does right, as she is the hand that will rock
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: the cradle and raise his children.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: And so that's the role of the woman.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: And so a lot of my time is spent talking
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to other women about what it means to you know,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: to that the highest achievement is not what I've been
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: able to accomplish on my resume, and I've done a
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: lot of great things I can add to my resume,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: but the most important decision I made as a young
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: woman with my husband is one to get married before
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: having children. After that learning the art of how to
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: keep a happy home raising my own children, which meant
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: I had to step out of corporate America homeschooling my
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: own children because I didn't want them to be indoctrinated
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: with some of the things that we're now watching in
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: the public school system. These are hard choices, but if
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I could do it again, I would choose that path
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: a million times.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: It is it's always a fun time to take the
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: family to the movies. But why spend thirty dollars when
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you can save a bunch of money and get better
• 17:18

• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Young Washington tells the story of George Washington before he
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: became a general, before he became president, and before he
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: became a legend. At just twenty years old, Washington faced failure, setbacks,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: and near death experiences that would have broken most people. Instead,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: those challenges forged the leader who would help secure America's
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: independence and future. It's a powerful store worry of resilience,

  Speaker 4: My name is George Washington's Kathy Barnett.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Go to Kathy Barnett dot com. Check out our program.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: She does a great show. Go check that out. Get
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: her book called Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain Being
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Black and conservative in America. Let me just pick you
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: back on one point that you made. The black pastors
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: were literally paid off to allow for abortion clinics in
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: black neighborhoods, and they were telling young black women have
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: an abortion. And that's why there is such a massive
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: amount of serial killing in the black and Black community
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: when it comes to unborn children. And that's something that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: people still try to act like didn't happen. It happened.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: They were paid off by Planned Parenthood, run by Margaret Sanger,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: who wanted to weed the Blacks out of society. She
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: said that, So at the end of the day, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: think that that community is play waking up, and I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: want the community to wake up and be part of
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the America community that I want to get into now.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: America to fifty I'm really, really proud. I'm fifty nine
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: years old. When I see the red, white and blue,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: it brings some wells to my eyes when I hear
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: somebody play it. I played the National Intimate Talkers. I
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: love playing the song. I'm very, very proud of what
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: the flag symbolizes. But this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: we've got a division in this country like I don't
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: think we've ever seen since the Civil War. The division
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: is the Democrats, or twenty nine percent of them are
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: proud to be American, twenty nine percent, it's over seventy
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: percent for Republicans. Kathy, How the hell did that happen?
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: How did we let that happen? And can we bring
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: people who think they're Democrats, think they're on that side.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Can we bring them back to understanding how great the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: opportunity at least afforded here is because they don't like
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the country.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: And it's real and it's palpable.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: When I was running for office, or when I was
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: working with the Vivak Promise Wan Me presidential campaign, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: we would go on to college campuses and I would
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: say things like I love this country, and to see
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the shock and the awe on the faces of young
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Americans who have been trained and indoctrinated for many years,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: that our first response should be to apologize for America.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: So one we need to start teaching what it means
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: to be an American.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: We need to.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, I remember being in the military and one
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of my one of the first places I went was
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: South Korea, and then being able to get back to
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: America and kissing the ground which I got back and like,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: oh my God, literally, oh my thank you Lord.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I'm so proud to be an American.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: And this is from someone who has the blood of
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: slaves coursing through her veins, and having taken the time
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: to read about our founding fathers, the good, the bad,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: the despicable things that have taken place in this country
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: and still come out, and then having traveled much of
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: the world and seeing how people actually live, reading about
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: communism and socialism and what those promises tend to work
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: out in people lives, and then being able to come
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: back to this country and realize that I was able
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: to claw my way out of dire poverty because of
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: this country, because of the mechanism that allowed someone like
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: me not to be placed in a cast system, and
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: not to be relegated as a peasant, but to be
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: able to pursue happiness as I saw it, you know,
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: but you have to play by some rules. For me,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: it was giving my life to the Lord. But secondly
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: followed right after that is getting an education, waiting to
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: get married before I have children. So anyway, the point
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: is we have to do a better job, those of
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: us who know truth. We have to use whatever the
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: platform may be, whether it's just me walking over to
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: my neighbor's home and beginning to speak out loud about
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: how great this country is and how grateful we are
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to be an American that used to.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Be assumed that used to be. Listen, you and I
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: could disagree on a few things. Politically, you and I
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: can disagree in a few things. Socially, you and I
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: would agree that we love the country. There was never
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: even a question about that. And for some reason, we
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: have made forty to fifty percent of this country question
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: whether we're great or not. And I noticed, Katherine, they're
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: not leaving. More and more people are flooding in. So
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: I mean that alone tells us how great the country is.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: But when we see something like the hatred artists saying
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to perform at at the Capitol for
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: America to fifty because I don't like the guy in
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the White House. That's decidedly stupid. Had Barack Obama asked
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: me to go play the national anthem when he was
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: the president, I would have and I wouldn't have said
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I hate you as a president. I didn't hate the guy,
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: he just didn't like his policies. This something has changed
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: with a younger generation. Do you think that academia did this?
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Do you think Hollywood did this? You think big music
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: did this? Who did this?
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Absolutely? Absolutely?
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: All of the above once again, But they can only
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: do it because mothers have left the home. We have
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: diminished the importance of the of the mother's role in
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: the home, and we would place greater significance on her
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: being outside of the home. Greater value is placed on
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: her if she's outside of the home making a difference.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: So again, for me, it comes right back down. I mean,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I have a quick story if you don't mind, Do
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I have a moment? You know? So, my husband and
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I had decided that I would you know, stay home
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: longer instead of just when the kids go to school.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: We decided we would homeschool the kids. So now I'm
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: having to extend my time in the home versus out
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: in the workforce. But by this time, I am now
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: going to Fox News up in Manhattan two to three
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: times every single week for four years from twenty sixteen
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: to twenty.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Twenty, and we loved it.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: The kids would get in the car and they would
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: send a car down and bring us up to New
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: York and we loved it. But one day, it was
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: about twenty of us who were doing a veteran panel,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: and the resumes of these young men and women were
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: just so impressive, and Heraldo happened to be in the
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: green room and he was just sitting there absorbing.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: All of the energy. He was the big cheese in
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: the green room.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: He was very very nice man, very magnanimous, but he
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: was asking every person.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: Well, what do you do? What do you do? What
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: do you do?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: And I felt, any minute he's going to ask me
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: what I do. And I felt this over sense, this
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: overwhelming sense of shame because all I do is homeschool
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: my kids. And I remember trying to weasel out and
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: wiggle my way to the back of the room. But
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: as I was doing it. Hearaldo and my eyes locked.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: He asked, what do you do? And I just blurted out,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: I homeschooled my.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Kid and he that he that, hmm, I don't know
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: how I feel about that, and I that good because
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I didn't ask you.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: And I started.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: Laughing to break the break the tension. He laughed, Everyone
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: else laughed. But that was the very first time because
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: as a Christian Conservative who've been fighting against feminism, I
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: would have never thought that you know that that I
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: had been touched by feminism. That says what I'm doing
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: as a woman, as a mother is not important unless
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: I have this long, fancy title behind my name. But
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: that was just But that was the first time that
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I was able to actually label what that dynamic on
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: the inside of myself was was was all about.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: It was it's the pervasiveness.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: You don't even have to be taught feminism and the
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: rules of feminism, that my importance is more outside of
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the home than it is inside the home. It was
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: just a part of the atmosphere, part of the culture.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And that's the same way with this sense of just
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: hatefulness and and vitriol towards the greatest country that has
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: ever existed.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: No one at this.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Point has to go out and teach our children that
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: you should apologize for having all the privileges of being
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: born an American. It's just something you walk into, right,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: And so I think of it from that perspective, Well,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: what is it that we need to do. We need
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: those of us who know better. We need to create
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: an environment that challenges that pervasive culture by sharing our
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: own values, because that's what culture is is shared values,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: shared beliefs, shared ideas.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: And we need to be people like you and I
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: and others.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: The President has the largest bully pulpit in the nation,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: standing up and putting the money behind the resources to
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: create this culture of gratitude.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: Look how amazing we are.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: He's doing that a little bit with cleaning up Washington,
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: DC and the Lincoln Reflection poll. Is that sense of pride?
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: Those are the things that we can do. There is
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: no magic wand to take us back to where we
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: used to be when you and I grew up in
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: this atmosphere of appreciation. It really is day by day,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: minute by minute, people like you and I making a
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: decision that I'm grateful for the nation that I was
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: born into and I'm going to talk about it publicly.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I love it. You know, it's so stupid that we're
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: arguing about the pool. How stupid is that we're arguing
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: about the reflecting pool. The left wants more algae, the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: right just wants it cleaned and looked nice. And you
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: literally have people vandalizing it because they really don't want
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: it to look nice, even though Obama spent one hundred
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: million dollars trying to fix it and he didn't. Trump
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: spent a whole lot less than that, and people are
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: literally trying to make it green again because he's a
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: quote unquote fascist, which is so stupid. Let me finish
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: with this, and I love what you just said. That
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: was amazing. You, by the way, had the most important
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: job in that green room that day, bar none. I mean,
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: my wife stays home and her job is so she
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: takes care of everything so that we don't have to
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: worry about everything being taken care of. And you, as
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: somebody who's done that and has done it for a
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: long time, you know what I'm talking about. As much
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: as I bring in the money, as much as I
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: try to protect and hunt and gather, she takes care
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: of all of it, and I get that the role
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: that you play was way more important than anybody else
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: in that green room. Let me finish with this. Had
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: you made it into the Senate, and you know that
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: I advocated for you as hard as I could. Had
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: you made it, Had you made it into the Senate,
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and had you just had to vote on the War
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Powers Act like this, A Republican run Senate Kathy yesterday
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: said the President has to bring the troops back from
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: the region. They really dared say that. He has to
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: ignore Iran killing Americans. I think it's one American every
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: three or four days by if you average it out.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: He has to ignore that, ignore their nuclear aspirations, and
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: bring them back. Had you been in the Senate, what
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: would you have said to your colleagues when they voted
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that way?
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, let me tell you. And one I meant talk about.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Flipping over tables and making sure, you know, making sure
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: that the people understand what's going on. I mean, the
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: only thing Republicans fear besides losing their seat is being shane,
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: having a spotlight placed on them.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're some.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Of the most, you know, just some of the most
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know, weak willed, people in the remaining party,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Like we have the House, we have the Senate, we
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: have the Executive Office, and we can't even protect our
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: own elections, right. And there's something that I learned when
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: I was, you know, running and now walking behind the
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: curtains in my own Senate race, now with Vivek on
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: the presidential campaign and being in the room with a
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: lot of these people. I mean, we're really in trouble.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: We have not elected the best of us. And what
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: I saw when I was on the ground is that
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: we have some of the best people, but those who
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: have wiggled and slithered their way into positions of power,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: or truly some of the worst of us, who are
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: just you knowatures who just have an insatiable appetite for power.
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: And we're watching it right, I Mean, look at where
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: we are. We control the House to send it and
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the White House, and we still have not done a
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: mass deportation.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: What are we doing?
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: We have not secured our elections. We still have boys
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: and girls sports, like, what are we doing? And the
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: clock is ticking And I've been looking at the number
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: of races all across the nation and the fact that
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: we're even in a situation with these demented lunatics on
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: the left that we're we're that some of our seats
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: are actually being threatened, Like what are they offering the
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: American people? And the fact that we're even in this
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: position should be pissing most of us off, Like how
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: in the world do we get into a position where
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: we could lose control of the House? How did this happen?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: What are Democrats offering? And I can't just blame the
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Democrat Party. I have to look at my own party
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: and say, what in the world have we been doing
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: with the opportunity that so many people like myself and
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: like you were out here on the ground beating the
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: ground over the last three elections to make sure Donald
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Trump gets an office. We're not getting a whole lot
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: out of what we thought we would be getting domestically
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: from the control of all three chambers.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: And I'll answer you this way. The Democrats aren't doing
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: anything other than saying Trump bead. Democrats aren't doing anything
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: other than saying Barnett and Pag's bead. And for some reason,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: there are people now that will sit in their hands
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: and not vote. For some reason, there are people that
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: are in the middle that are independents that are going
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: I don't like how mean that truth social post was
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: by Trump's I'm going to go vote for a Democrat.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: And at the same time, the undercurrent is you've got
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: people like Mamdani and this guy who just beat Dan
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Goldman in a primary New York who's also this radical
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: socialist from South Asia. So you've got a lot of
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that going on in the undercurrent. As the top level Democrats,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: you're just complaining Republicans bad. You have to vote for
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: us because we're not quite as bad. And I hope
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: that we can wake people up before November. And you're right.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Passing the Save America Act should have been so easy
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: with these these majorities that we have in both the
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: House and the Senate, and for some reason it didn't
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: get done. Kathy, I love having you on. Go to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Kathy Barnett dot com. It's book. Barnett is b A
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: R N E T T E dot com and go
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: get her book Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain being
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Black and Conservative in America. I just love having you on.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: It always brings a lot of joy to my life.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Let's do it again very soon.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Can we absolutely thank you so much?
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: You're amazing. That's it for this one. Another unshaken and
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: unafraid with Joe Paggs. He dropped very soon. We're back
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: after this
