  And welcome to a July the fifth Alex Scarrett Podcasting and today on the one
• 0:20
  Leg Up feature. You know I would play a string of interviews for you
• 0:24
  on this one channel, but to make it easier for you and maybe a
• 0:28
  little more selective, I'm gonna feature four historical conversations I've had within the last
• 0:35
  year that I want to replay for you just by putting the description. So
• 0:40
  if you want to check out my conversation with people like Tom McMillan about a
• 0:44
  two hundred plus year old American flag that inspired the national anthem, and of
• 0:50
  course Francis Scott Key, or how about Richard halliwell, who is a re
• 0:56
  enactor and a very history minded person. We talk about a meeting in Philadelphia
• 1:03
  a year ago, an Independence Hall. We'll replay that, and don't forget
• 1:07
  my trip to Independence Hall. You can get that feature also in the links
• 1:12
  where our great tour guide told us all about what went down on July fourth,
• 1:18
  seventeen seventy six, well really July second, seventeen seventy six, when
• 1:23
  they made the declaration, signed, sealed, and delivered an America Free.
• 1:30
  But here is the main question for you on this one leg up with Alex
• 1:34
  Garrett today putting all news aside. Okay, it's a tragedy really, and
• 1:38
  it's it's it's kind of sad that we have to hear that cocaine was found
• 1:42
  in the White House. We don't know from who, but I think the
• 1:47
  day after celebrating two hundred and forty seven, we now march like they marched,
• 1:53
  you know, with the enemy harassed in the New Jersey as Washington harassed
• 1:57
  our enemy in New Jersey on route to becoming independent. You'll hear about that
• 2:01
  conversation as well in the links just by clicking the link. But here,
• 2:09
  as we marched now toward year two forty eight, we're basically in year two
• 2:14
  forty eight of America. The question is, how do we preserve this country
• 2:19
  another year? How do we not let it fall apart completely at the seams
• 2:23
  to the point where we can't even unite? That's right, unite in on
• 2:29
  the East River, like my girlfriend and I did yesterday to watch the Macy's
• 2:32
  Independence Day fireworks, our first time watching it. That was great. How
• 2:37
  do we make sure we can continue these traditions and preserve our country? How
• 2:42
  can we as Ben Franklin one said, keep it. How can we keep
• 2:49
  this republic alive another year and then maybe inch toward two fifty. Well,
• 2:54
  my thought process on this is simple. We have to unite as communities and
• 3:00
  not let not let the news dictate how we are to each other, not
• 3:07
  let how I don't know the White House is being portrayed on television. And
• 3:14
  most importantly, we can't just shun our neighbor because we disagree politically. See,
• 3:21
  the way we're going to keep the fabric of our country alive is basically
• 3:27
  by staying together as communities, staying united in our mission of protecting our kids,
• 3:34
  protecting our values, and protecting our lives, and saying no to anything
• 3:38
  that would really harm us. When you see yesterday at the East River,
• 3:46
  no one cared who was what, but everybody cared that they were enjoying a
• 3:50
  great time and watching the fireworks. But no one cared about race, gender
• 3:53
  orientation. They just wanted to enjoy a night of celebrating independence. And that
• 4:00
  is what we have to preserve day in and day out, that coming together,
• 4:05
  no matter the race, gender orientation, disability or not, we have
• 4:11
  to be strong, be united, speak down things that are not right,
• 4:18
  speak in unison, against those things that may not be right for this country.
• 4:25
  Yes, even at the ballot box. But this far goes far beyond
• 4:29
  not in my backyard. This is you're not dividing us anymore. Media,
• 4:39
  You're not dividing us anymore. Senate Congress, Washington. On the whole,
• 4:46
  we're gonna stick together, and that doesn't mean seceding. But clearly, while
• 4:51
  you play a role, you're not doing anybody favors. Sometimes, as a
• 5:00
  community, we have to stay united. Okay, and I could reference the
• 5:04
  disabled community, but I mean those who just want to keep America's fabric in
• 5:10
  one piece at the end of the day, and hearing stories like the links
• 5:16
  you're gonna find below, select who you want to listen to, will tell
• 5:21
  you and help you in your in your maybe hopefully quest to preserve history.
• 5:29
  That's what I've been trying to do with all these different interviews, because the
• 5:32
  more we preserve history for people to listen to, the more likely our fabric
• 5:38
  is going to be staying intact for year two forty eight. And the last
• 5:43
  thing is we cannot let the small voices and the and the the things that
• 5:57
  really are outrageous had the loudest voices and you can interpret however you want.
• 6:05
  But I feel like we've let everything run loose, We've let chaos ensue by
• 6:11
  listening to a very small voice, small amount of voices who want to shut
• 6:24
  down the police. Not every American wants to defund the police. You know
• 6:29
  what they do want They want our safety first. They want country to come
• 6:39
  first. Hell, a lot of people want God to come first. And
• 6:46
  while we may never ever get to where God is first on everybody's mind,
• 6:50
  those that are God minded and believing, you know, those are the voices
• 6:58
  that should really say end up and not do an insurrection. Of course,
• 7:01
  not those are those are not godly people, the ones that stormed the capital.
• 7:06
  No, no, no, that's that's not godly. But if you
• 7:14
  want to preserve this country for another year, our voices who want reason and
• 7:23
  who want you know, our country is founded on reason, by the way,
• 7:28
  and who want a system in place where everybody is equal. Burning down
• 7:38
  buildings is not the answer. The answer is actually coming together for barbecues,
• 7:46
  for fireworks, for even you know, community events. I do think that
• 7:58
  means going to your community board meetings. That would be a big star to
• 8:01
  keeping communities intact, because once we lose the fabrics of I don't know,
• 8:05
  a little Memorial Day parade, and once we lose the never ending traditions like
• 8:18
  the fireworks because of a far extreme ideal, that's when we should be worried.
• 8:33
  Look, we are two hundred forty seven years strong, but there's no
• 8:35
  reason we can't get to year two forty eight. There's no reason why we
• 8:41
  can't stay intact another day like tomorrow the sixth. But the only way we
• 8:46
  do that is if we honor America and how we've gotten here and why we
• 8:52
  love to be here, why we are Americans, right, Richard v battle
• 9:01
  for two hundred and forty eight years, and then from those foundations we can
• 9:09
  then continue to serve our country so that we may protect it, because not
• 9:16
  just protecting your community, you're protecting the country when you protect your community.
• 9:22
  I'm Alex Garrett, and again, Americans, I believe the majority of us
• 9:35
  have a different feeling than what we see on TV. So turn off that
• 9:39
  TV and just focus on keeping this fabric of a great nation that we live
• 9:46
  in and call America alive. Yes, Ben Franklin, this is a republic
• 9:56
  and we can keep it. God bless America. Here on the Alex Garrett
