The rugged individualism of Samuel Morse brought us modern communication · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

  Rugged individualism is the answer.
• 0:27
  It's the answer.
• 0:29
  Actually, Christ is the answer, but rugged individualism is an idea that is, I mean, well, it's it's a gift from God, this ability to go out and make things happen for yourself and not depend on anybody else.
• 0:48
  It's an idea that is poo-pooed by the uh by the socialists, by the communists, by the mayor of New York, excuse me, who believes it's uh frigidity to engage in rugged individualism.
• 1:05
  He would rather have the warmth of collectivism.
• 1:08
  Well, today we're going to continue our juxtaposition of rugged individualism versus the warmth of collectivism.
• 1:19
  So where shall we begin?
• 1:20
  Shall we shall we talk about rugged individualism first or the warmth of collectivism?
• 1:25
  Let's let's go rugged individualism because I didn't really get to it yesterday.
• 1:29
  Yesterday we spent a lot of time talking about the warmth of collectivism, and how grateful we are that he used these terms, the frigidity of rugged individualism versus the warmth of collectivism, because now we have an opportunity to juxtapose these ideas.
• 1:48
  And not that we didn't have an opportunity before, but he's just he's he's thrown us a softball here, and we're gonna walk right into it.
• 1:56
  We're gonna make it happen.
• 1:57
  So today, let's let's go to history class and in history's and in history class today.
• 2:05
  We, my friends, are going to explore what rugged individualism looks like via a man by the name of Samuel Morris.
• 2:15
  You know him.
• 2:17
  The code is named after him.
• 2:20
  And he's our uh he's our history object today.
• 2:26
  Samuel Morris, I don't know if you're aware of this.
• 2:29
  He was a man of many talents.
• 2:32
  He uh he longed actually to be a famous painter.
• 2:35
  He was very talented in painting.
• 2:38
  His ambition, and here's his direct quote, his ambition was to rival the genius of a Raphael or a Michelangelo.
• 2:47
  That's what he wanted.
• 2:49
  I mean, could you imagine somebody with that ambition rivaling the genius of Raphael and Michelangelo?
• 2:56
  Do you know anybody currently with that kind of ambition?
• 3:01
  I don't know of anybody who says, I want to rival Raphael and Michelangelo.
• 3:07
  I it's it's regretful that we we don't have anybody on the horizon, at least nobody that we're aware of, who's come out and said, hey, I'm talented, I'm gonna rival Raphael and Michelangelo.
• 3:20
  You know what takes rugged individualism to admit that you have this kind of talent and you're gonna pursue it and go after it.
• 3:30
  If you are relying on the warmth of collectivism, then you're not engaging in your own talents and in your own abilities, because you'd rather have the government do things for you.
• 3:47
  Well, that wasn't the attitude of Samuel Morris.
• 3:51
  He wanted to rival the greats in artistry, he studied at the Royal Academy in London.
• 4:00
  He won high acclaim for painting portraits of great men, such as James Monroe and the Marquis de Lafayette.
• 4:10
  But it was in 1832 aboard a ship crossing the ocean that serendipity struck.
• 4:18
  And it struck because there was a man who relied on rugged individualism, who relied on his abilities, who relied on his understanding of creativity.
• 4:31
  So here's Samuel Morris.
• 4:32
  He's on this ship crossing the ocean, 1832.
• 4:38
  And he overhears other passengers describing and talking about electricity and how it could pass instantly over any length of wire.
• 4:49
  Very interesting.
• 4:51
  This piqued his interest, and he began to wonder.
• 4:55
  He began to allow the creative juices to flow.
• 5:00
  You know, when you're when you're engaged in rugged individualism, your mind is free to wonder.
• 5:09
  Not wander, but wonder.
• 5:12
  Your mind is free to be curious, and you start thinking about things because you have rugged individualism.
• 5:19
  You have this inane built-in longing to create and to explore and to do and to be.
• 6:24
  And you're just gonna sit there in a vegetated state.
• 6:27
  But that's what they want.
• 6:29
  That's what the powers that be in New York City, at least.
• 6:32
  This is what they want.
• 6:33
  They want their people in a vegetative state.
• 6:36
  They don't want their people thinking deeply about a thing, but how to create, how to be curious and how to wonder.
• 6:51
  It's uncaring to just, it's just selfish to just care about yourself.
• 6:55
  You you selfish meanie.
• 6:59
  I mean, that's essentially the idea that's being presented through that.
• 7:04
  That's the thought process here.
• 7:07
  But in men like Samuel Morris, who have rugged individualism, it's a whole different story.
• 7:14
  So he starts to wonder.
• 7:20
  And he starts asking himself, could messages be sent over wires with electricity.
• 7:28
  I mean, if it's true that electricity can pass instantly over any length of wire, then could we send messages over wire if electricity is involved?
• 7:41
  And instantly, in that moment, he didn't uh send out a uh a note, a telegram, as it were, to some government office and say, hey, could you go to work on this?
• 7:55
  Uh, could you think the warmth of collectivism could go to work on this?
• 7:59
  Is that Paul?
• 8:00
  No, he didn't do that.
• 8:02
  Instead, he rushed back to to it to the ship's cabin, took out his drawing book because he's an artist, and he begins to sketch out his idea for the telegraph.
• 8:15
  He starts going to work on it immediately.
• 8:17
  He's he's inundated with this creative thought.
• 8:21
  He opens up his sketchbook and he goes to writing.
• 8:25
  And I'm here to tell you the only reason that Samuel Morris has the ability and or the thought process to go back to his cabin, open up his sketchbook and begin drawing out this idea that he's envisioning in his head, is because of rugged individualism.
• 8:45
  It's because in America, rugged individualism has created this envelope of liberty.
• 8:55
  And through this envelope of liberty, we then are allowed to think freely.
• 9:01
  We're allowed to be curious, we're allowed to wonder about a thing.
• 9:07
  We're allowed to sit with a problem and let that problem absorb us until a solution is produced because of rugged individualism, not because of the warmth of collectivism.
• 9:24
  All right, so here's a man, Samuel Morris, who knows very little about electricity, probably next to nothing.
• 9:33
  But does that stop him?
• 9:35
  No, it doesn't stop him to to be curious and to wonder and to open up his sketchbook and to create.
• 9:42
  Even though he knows nothing about electricity, this curiosity leads him down a path where he begins to learn as he goes.
• 9:52
  And again, this is only available to us through rugged individualism.
• 9:58
  He used a homemade
• 10:00
  Battery and parts from an old clock to build his very first model.
• 10:06
  He developed a code of long and short electrical impulses made of dots and dashes to represent his letters.
• 10:16
  We we know of this.
• 10:18
  I mean, we call it Morse Code, named after him.
• 10:23
  And his invention raised the interest of a man by the name of Alfred Vale, who's a machinist who became his partner.
• 10:30
  So Alfred Vale looks at this sketch, and he looks at um this homemade battery built from parts and an old clock and this this code that Morris has developed.
• 10:45
  And Alfred Vale, a machinist begins to think to himself, hmm, I like this.
• 10:52
  This has potential.
• 10:54
  This this could go somewhere because Alfred Vale was also a man who engaged in rugged individualism, who was also a man who engaged in wonder and creativity and curiosity.
• 11:09
  And these two men begin to put their thoughts together.
• 11:15
  And so on January 6th, 1838.
• 11:19
  Now, he first overhears this conversation in 1832.
• 11:23
  Six years later, the inventors were ready to test their device over two miles of wire at the Vale Family Ironworks in New Jersey.
• 11:34
  Vale's father scribbled on a piece of paper this statement.
• 11:41
  A patient waiter is no loser.
• 11:45
  And he handed the piece of paper to his son.
• 11:49
  If you can send this, and Mr.
• 11:51
  Morris can read it at the other end, I shall be convinced, his father said.
• 11:57
  Short time later, his words came out on the receiving end.
• 12:02
  Six years after Samuel Morse was first given this epiphany of perhaps what the telegraph could look like.
• 12:12
  And then six years after that, 1844, May 24th, to be exact, and a mace crowd in the Supreme Court chambers in Washington, D.C.
• 12:22
  Watched as Samuel Morris demonstrated his telegraph by sending a message over a wire to Baltimore, 35 miles away.
• 12:34
  And Morse code, he tapped out a quote from the Bible.
• 12:41
  Simply four words.
• 12:45
  And then soon telegraph lines linked the country linked continents and the world entered the age of modern communication.
• 12:57
  All because of rugged individualism, all because a man had an idea.
• 13:04
  All because Samuel Morris had the initiative, had the creativity, had the awe and the wonder to pursue an idea.
• 13:15
  And the foundation of that, the formation of that, the very impetus of that is rugged individualism.
• 13:24
  My friends, there's nothing frigid about it.
• 13:29
  And you know, when you listen to Marxists speak about government, about economics, about education, listen to what they say, and apply the exact opposite to it.
• 13:47
  Or flip it.
• 13:49
  So when a Marxist talks about the frigidity of rugged individualism versus the the warmth of collectivism, you you know this individual is lying.
• 14:01
  But if you you take and you flip it, you rearrange it just a little, you will come out with the truth.
• 14:09
  Rugged individualism is what provides warmth.
• 14:14
  Rugged individualism is what provides communication in this case.
• 14:22
  Collectivism provides nothing, nothing but hard hardship, nothing but frigidity, if we're going to use the Marxist word.
• 14:34
  Collectivism is it is incapable of providing anything of value.
• 14:45
  The pilgrims discovered this.
• 14:48
  They discovered it at Jamestown.
• 14:51
  They have discovered it in Russia.
• 14:56
  They've discovered it in China, they've discovered it in Venezuela and Brazil and Cuba.
• 15:03
  They've discovered it everywhere it's been tried, and they are about to make this discovery yet again in New York City.
• 15:12
  Because for some reason, there are swaths of humanity that don't have the ability to learn a lesson based upon someone else's mistakes.
• 15:23
  They've got to make the mistake themselves.
• 15:27
  And even then, there are groups of people who just refuse to learn the lesson.
• 15:32
  They will make the mistake over and over and over again repeatedly, with seemingly uh no ability to comprehend the lesson.
• 15:47
  And that's what's going to happen here.
• 15:48
  That's what we are going to discover in New York City.
• 15:53
  Now, if if they would just listen, if they would just tune in, if they would just join this history class, they would perhaps learn something about rugged individualism.
• 16:03
  They would perhaps learn something about what it takes to create to expand, to grow, to build, to do what God put us on the earth to do, that is to have dominion, to take care of things, to create, to expand, to build.
• 16:26
  That's the whole point.
• 16:27
  One of my favorite verses in the Bible that describe Jesus is the old testament prophecy, which says, and of the increase of his government, there shall be no end.
• 16:40
  My favorite word in that prophetic uttering is increase.
• 16:44
  I mean, he that the prophecy could have said, and of his government there shall be no end, but it didn't.
• 16:50
  It said, and of the increase of his government, there shall be no end, which is to say it's always growing.
• 16:58
  His government is always expanding.
• 17:01
  There's always creation taking place because this is his heart.
• 17:08
  It's what he longs for from humanity, in my opinion.
• 17:12
  He longs for us to create and to have increase and to grow, not to be greedy.
• 17:19
  No, there's there's got to be a proper attitude in it, but to be giving.
• 17:25
  And that's the point of rugged individualism.
• 17:28
  It's to grow and to create and to build so we can be giving.
• 17:32
  Did Samuel Morris hoard this invention for himself?
• 17:37
  No, he gave it to the world.
• 17:38
  I mean, he made a lot of money doing it, and rightly he should.
• 17:42
  And you can't fault him for that.
• 17:43
  That greedy Samuel Morris, he made money.
• 17:46
  How dare he make a living?
• 17:48
  No, no, we want him to make a living.
• 17:50
  We want him to be as wealthy as he humanly possibly can be, because then his wealth creates a rising tide that lifts all boats.
• 17:59
  But the communists don't see this.
• 18:01
  They, it's the communists who are steeped in greed, who want all the wealth for themselves.
• 18:08
  They don't want to share the wealth.
• 18:10
  I mean, they'll tell you you're you're gonna share, but they want you to share.
• 18:14
  They're not gonna share.
• 18:15
  You think the people at the top of the communist food chain share the wealth?
• 18:20
  Was Maduro sharing the wealth?
• 18:23
  Were the Venezuelan people experiencing wealth from the from the rich oil fields of Venezuela?
• 18:30
  No.
• 18:31
  No, they weren't.
• 18:33
  You know, we're gonna listen to some clips today of Rubio uh running the gauntlet of stupidity via NBC and ABC News.
• 18:45
  Well, what does what right do we have to take over the oil field?
• 18:49
  I mean, those he he received that question repeatedly, and he answered it masterfully, running the gauntlet of stupidity.
• 18:57
  Rugged individualism wants to share its wealth.
• 19:01
  That's the point of it.
• 19:03
  That's the God-given point of rugged individualism.
• 19:06
  It's not to hoard or to be steeped in greed.
• 19:11
  All right, I'm telling I'm telling you what, we're gonna have a blast today diving into this.
• 19:17
  As a matter of fact, we're gonna have a blast literally all year long diving into this, because we're celebrating 250 years of America, and there is example after example after example of rugged individualism creating wealth, creating warmth, creating prosperity, creating communication, as in this case.
• 19:42
  And we're gonna dive into it, creating freedom and liberty.
• 19:44
  We and we're gonna have such a blast doing it.
• 19:47
  I cannot wait.

  And we it's it's available to us here in this country in the United States of America.
• 24:16
  We have the ability to pursue our dreams and our goals.
• 24:24
  And it happens through rugged individualism.
• 24:26
  It happens through perseverance, it happens through sticktuitiveness.
• 24:32
  But there's a foundation of liberty which gives us this opportunity, this opportunity to pursue a thing and to go after it.
• 24:43
  All right.
• 24:46
  Uh going after this whole idea and this whole thought, this juxtaposition of rugged individualism versus the warmth of collectivism.
• 24:58

  Rugged individualism versus the warmth of collectivism.
• 26:25
  That's what's that's what's on trial here.
• 26:28
  That is what is being juxtaposed.
• 26:31
  You know who I wouldn't want to be, I shouldn't say it this way.
• 26:33
  I shouldn't say you know who I wouldn't want to be, because um Marco Rubio is doing a fantastic job as secretary of state.
• 26:41
  But I would not want to be him.
• 26:44
  Well, he has to run the gauntlet of stupidity on Sunday mornings, going from Sunday morning talk show to Sunday morning talk show.
• 26:53
  That poor man, I I don't think I'd do it.
• 26:56
  I'm just telling you, I I wouldn't do it.
• 26:59
  If it was a I don't know, something that you have to do as Secretary of State, I'd be like, no, I'm not.
• 27:07
  I I guess I'm not gonna be Secretary of State because I just I don't have the patience to sit with buffoonery and and answer the question and then have the question repeated and then answer it and then have it ripping the oh, all right.
• 27:24
  So I've got two clips I'm gonna play for you.
• 27:27
  The first is I think the first one is from ABC this week or this morning, whatever they're calling it.
• 27:34
  George Stephanopoulos.
• 27:37
  And George asks the he's asking Rubio about the legal authority.
• 27:42
  Do we have the legal authority to do what we're doing in Venezuela?
• 27:48
  All right, so enjoy this clip just for a minute.
• 27:52
  What's gonna happen here is that we have a quarantine on their oil.
• 27:55
  That means their economy will not be able to move forward until the conditions that are in the national interest of the United States and the interest of the Venezuelan people are met.
• 28:02
  And that's what we intend to do.
• 28:04
  So that leverage remains, that leverage is ongoing, and we expect that it's going to lead to results here.
• 28:09
  We're hope so, hopefully that it does.
• 28:11
  Positive results for the people of Venezuela, but ultimately, most importantly for us, in the national interest of the United States, we will no longer have, hopefully, as we move forward here.
• 28:20
  We'll set the conditions so that we no longer have in our hemisphere of Venezuela, that's the crossroads for many of our adversaries around the world, including Iran and Hezbollah, is no longer sending us drug gangs, is no longer sending us drug boats, is no longer a narco-trafficking paradise for all those drugs coming out of Colombia to go in through the Caribbean and towards the United States.
• 28:40
  Um and obviously we want a better future for the people of Venezuela.
• 28:43
  We want them to have an oil industry where the wealth is goes to the people, not to a handful of corrupt individuals and stolen by you know pirates all over the world.
• 28:52
  That's what we're working towards, and we intend to use the leverage we have to help achieve that.
• 28:57
  Let me ask the question again.
• 28:58
  What is the legal authority for the United States to be running Venezuela?
• 29:03
  Well, I explained to you what our goals are and how we're gonna use the leverage to make it happen.
• 29:07
  As far as what our legal authority is on the quarantine, I'm very simple.
• 29:11
  We have court orders.
• 29:12
  These are sanctioned boats, and we get orders from courts to go after and seize these sanctions.
• 29:16
  So there's that's I don't know, is the court not a legal authority?
• 29:19
  So is the United States running Venezuela right now?
• 29:25
  Well, I've explained once again, I'll do it one more time.
• 29:27
  What we are running is the direction that this is gonna move moving forward, and that is we have leverage.
• 29:32
  This leverage we are using, and we intend to use.
• 29:35
  We started using already.
• 29:36
  You can see where they are running out of storage capacity in a few weeks.
• 29:40
  They're gonna have to start pumping oil unless they make changes.
• 29:44
  And that leverage that we have with the armado boats that are currently positioned, allow us to seize any sanctioned boats coming into or out of Venezuela, loaded with oil or on its way in to pick up oil, and we can pick and choose which ones we go after.
• 29:57
  We have court orders for each one that will come.
• 30:00
  Continue to be in place until the people who have control over the levers of power in that country make changes that are not just in the interest of the people of Venezuela, but are in the interest of the United States and the things that we care about.
• 30:11
  That's what we interesting.
• 30:15
  And the president was asked yesterday who'll be running Venezuela.
• 30:18
  He said it was you.
• 30:19
  He said it was the defense secretary.
• 30:20
  He said it was the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.
• 30:23
  Are you running Venezuela right now?
• 30:25
  What?
• 30:27
  I've explained again that the leverage that we have here is the leverage of I I can't.
• 30:32
  I can't do it anymore.
• 30:34
  Are you running Venezuela right now while you're while you're talking to me here live on this on this video?
• 30:40
  Are you also running Venezuela?
• 30:44
  Uh I don't know.
• 30:46
  They just they want to catch Rubio in this gotcha game.
• 30:50
  They and why I know the answer to this.
• 30:55
  This question's rhetorical, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway, because it's a question that we're all wondering.
• 31:02
  And I I would love it if somebody would ask the media, why are you so in love with the warmth of collectivism?
• 31:11
  Why are you in love with this uh dictator who is not uh the actual president of Venezuela?
• 31:24
  He's not he didn't win the election, he just said, hey, I'm in charge now.
• 31:31
  Why do you love this so much?
• 31:33
  Well, why let's go to NBC?
• 31:37
  Is this meet the meet the depressed is as Rush used to call it?
• 31:41
  Yeah, I don't I don't I don't remember her name, the lady's name who's running Meet the Press anymore, but um now she's asking Rubio why do we need to take over their oil?
• 31:52
  What why do we need this?
• 31:55
  All right, take a listen.
• 31:56
  The purpose of the operation was to capture Maduro and bring him to justice.
• 32:02
  Why does the United States uh need to take over the Venezuelan oil industry?
• 32:08
  Well, we don't need to.
• 32:10
  First of all, let me go back up.
• 32:11
  We don't need Venezuela's oil.
• 32:13
  We have plenty of oil in the United States.
• 32:14
  What we're not going to allow is for the oil industry in Venezuela to be controlled by adversaries of the United States.
• 32:20
  You have to understand why does China need their oil?
• 32:23
  Why does Russia need their oil?
• 32:24
  Why does Iran need their oil?
• 32:26
  They're not even in this continent.
• 32:27
  This is the Western hemisphere.
• 32:29
  This is where we live, and we're not going to allow the Western hemisphere to be a base of operation for adversaries, competitors, and rivals of the United States.
• 32:37
  We also want to see that oil and the proceeds from it.
• 32:40
  Hold on.
• 32:40
  We want to see the oil proceeds of that country benefit the people of Venezuela.
• 32:44
  Why have eight million people left Venezuela?
• 32:46
  Eight million, the single largest mass migration, probably in modern history, left Venezuelans in 2014, because all the wealth of that country was stolen to the benefit of Maduro and his cronies in the regime, but not to the benefit of people of Venezuela.
• 32:59
  You know how destabilizing eight million migrants is.
• 33:03
  The number one fear that Brazil has, that Colombia has, and all these countries in the region have about what's happening in Venezuela and our involvement is they're afraid of another mass migration event.
• 33:12
  That's what they feel.
• 33:13
  This is deeply destabilizing stuff.
• 33:15
  Okay, and then he he's basically making the point that we need to step in.
• 33:20
  We need to stabilize this country, we need to stabilize the region.
• 33:24
  And why wouldn't we?
• 33:26
  Why wouldn't we want to stabilize events taking place in our own backyard?
• 33:31
  This is the Monroe Doctrine, or what we're now calling the Donro Doctrine, the Donro Doctrine, which should have happened decades ago.
• 33:44
  We should have been upholding the Monroe Doctrine since uh, I don't know, but but we haven't been.
• 33:52
  We've turned away.
• 33:54
  We've turned a blind eye to this situation happening south of us.
• 33:59
  And look what it's gotten us.
• 34:02
  It it's it's gotten us into a situation where we have an influence in our own backyard from our enemies.
• 34:17
  Our enemies are influential in South America.
• 34:21
  And so are we gonna continue to let this happen?
• 34:24
  Is the question?
• 34:24
  He ended up going on CBS as well, and she just I don't have the patience to play that clip.
• 34:32
  I don't, the the gauntlet of stupidity that this man has to run on Sunday mornings.
• 34:37
  I mean, the lady over there at CBS.
• 34:39
  Well, if you went and got Maduro, why didn't you get the five others that that you also needed to get?
• 34:44
  He's like, What?
• 34:45
  And look, we had an operation to take the head of the snake off, and you're complaining because we didn't go after the other five while we were there.
• 34:55
  I mean, this is not like we can just hit five people at once.
• 35:01
  It doesn't work that way.
• 35:04
  I don't think they understand.
• 35:05
  They they clearly they do not understand what it takes to um I don't think I do.
• 35:13
  I don't understand what it takes to complete an operation like this.
• 35:18
  I mean, unless you're actually in the operation, do you understand what it takes?
• 35:23
  I'm sure it takes a lot.
• 35:25
  I'm sure it takes a lot more than what the gauntlet of stupidity understands.
• 35:32
  Speaking of the gauntlet of stupidity, the those on the left, those on the political left, the Marxists on the political left, continue to attempt to monetize what's happening here in Venezuela.
• 35:52
  They're they're they're rushing to monetize Maduro.
• 35:56
  The Democrat National Committee.
• 35:57
  I'm looking at this report right here.
• 35:59
  This is out of bright part.
• 36:01
  The Democrat National Committee is fundraising in protest of Trump's capture of Maduro and his wife.
• 36:13
  Um an email from the DNC.
• 36:16
  Uh it looks like it was Town Hall has has come across an email brought to you by the Democrat National Committee.
• 36:25
  It says another day, another unconstitutional war from Trump, who thinks the Constitution is a suggestion.
• 36:35
  Oh, do I have to keep reading this?
• 36:37
  Do I can't?
• 36:38
  I just I can't read the stupidity.
• 36:42
  All right, okay.
• 36:43
  I'll continue.
• 36:45
  Congress has war powers.
• 36:48
  Well, was the DNC complaining when Barack Obama was bombing the living daylights out of whoever he was bombing over there in the Middle East or wherever?
• 36:59
  Because he dropped a ton of payload.
• 37:01
  And I don't recall the DNC issuing an email complaining that um Obama thought the Constitution was a suggestion and complaining that Congress has war powers.
• 37:16
  You see the stupidity in this?
• 37:17
  All right, I'll continue.
• 37:19
  But Republican cowards are hiding under their desks.
• 37:24
  This is kind of comic relief here.
• 37:26
  Republican cowards are hiding under their desks.
• 37:29
  Well, Trump orders an unauthorized attack against Venezuela.
• 37:33
  Trump promised peace, but has delivered chaos.
• 37:38
  He's delivered chaos.
• 37:40
  Meanwhile, the Venezuelan people are dancing and celebrating in the streets.
• 37:46
  Is this the chaos that the DNC is referring to?
• 37:51
  Is this the chaos?
• 37:52
  Because that there's no chaos there.
• 37:54
  It's an ongoing party.
• 37:56
  I mean, you can see the clips.
• 37:58
  And the people are celebrating.
• 38:01
  The people that Venezuelan people are celebrating all over the world.
• 38:06
  And in countries and major cities, they're gathering to celebrate.
• 38:11
  You know what chaos has been created?
• 38:14
  Is the DNC complaining that chaos has now interrupted their their funding apparatus?
• 38:19
  Oh, Dean, are you saying the DNC is funded by narco-terrorists?
• 38:24
  I'm not saying anything.
• 38:25
  I'm just asking the question: is this the chaos he's referring to?
• 38:30
  I don't know.
• 38:32
  Um the email continues.
• 38:36
  The most important thing we can do is elect more Democrats who will check this administration's power.
• 38:44
  Yes, that that's the most important thing we can do right now in this moment.
• 38:48
  We need to elect more Democrats.
• 38:50
  More Democrats who love socialism, more Democrats who love communism, and who will absolutely not do a thing when it comes to thwarting the growth of communism in our own backyard.
• 39:06
  No, they're they're not gonna, they're not gonna get out the the rototiller and and and root up communism.
• 39:12
  No, they're gonna sow more seeds, they're gonna water those seeds, they're gonna they want communism to grow.
• 39:19
  But by golly, the most important thing we can do right now is elect more Democrats.
• 39:24
  Well, what's gonna happen here is that we're hang out.
• 39:26
  No, that's not it.
• 39:27
  Sorry, Marco.
• 39:28
  The the email was reportedly sent the same morning Trump ordered the arrest of Maduro for a long list of crimes.
• 39:37
  So obviously, you know, the Democrats got wind of this happening.
• 39:41
  Um, or or maybe you know, maybe because maybe not.
• 39:47
  Maybe the um Heggseth has prided himself on there not being any leak.
• 39:53
  So maybe it wasn't a leak.
• 39:54
  I mean, this thing took place at three in the morning, so maybe that when the Democrats woke up to the news, that's probably what.
• 40:00
  Happened.
• 40:00
  When they woke up to the news, they went to their keyboards and started typing with fingers of fury.
• 40:08
  Got this email out immediately.
• 40:12
  Um, DNC chairman Ken Martin also released a statement condemning the arrest of Maduro and claiming the Trump administration acted illegally.
• 40:22
  Here's his statement in part.
• 40:25
  This is the worst kind of betrayal from Trump.
• 40:28
  He committed the United States to an uncertain rival in South America with an inter with it with an indeterminate timeline as Trump's influence over the country and the world wants.
• 40:41
  He's ready and willing to endanger Americans and abandon the constitution as a last ditch effort to blah blah blah blah blah hold power and whatever.
• 40:50
  I'm I can't do it anymore.
• 40:52
  I can't.
• 40:54
  This is the worst kind of betrayal, according to DNC chairman Ken Martin.
• 41:01
  Ken Martin, um you I don't team, be nice.
• 41:09
  You be nice to Mr.
• 41:10
  Martin.
• 41:11
  It's not his fault he's incompetent.
• 41:13
  It is his fault.
• 41:15
  Absolutely, it's his fault to say that this is the worst kind of betrayal to who?
• 41:21
  Who's being betrayed here, Mr.
• 41:22
  Martin?
• 41:23
  Certainly not the Venezuelan people.
• 41:26
  They're not being betrayed.
• 41:28
  Again, uh exhibit A, they're celebrating in the streets.
• 41:33
  And but yet to the to the Marxists on the left, this is a betrayal.
• 41:39
  Of course it is, of course it's a betrayal, because they love Marxism.
• 41:43
  And they loved what Maduro was producing down there in Venezuela.
• 41:49
  They loved it, and they wanted more of it.
• 41:51
  They wanted to spread this uh president in Mexico.
• 41:56
  She's over here crying and complaining.
• 41:57
  And how this is this is horrible.
• 41:59
  How dare Trump do this?
• 42:01
  But she's a puppet.
• 42:03
  She's a puppet to the cartel.
• 42:05
  She was installed by by the cartels.
• 42:07
  And if you don't believe that, then you know, um I don't know what to tell you.
• 42:14
  If you don't believe that, then maybe you're a Marxist.
• 42:19
  Maybe uh, but you're not.
• 42:22
  This audience, no.
• 42:23
  You're I'm I I take that back.
• 42:25
  I don't mean to excuse me.
• 42:27
  I don't mean to call you a Marxist.
• 42:28
  I I should not, shouldn't be doing that.
• 42:31
  Oh, I just I I couldn't, I couldn't be Marco Rubio and run the gauntlet of stupidity and have to put up with with this.
• 42:42
  All right, speaking of the gauntlet of stupidity, speaking of rugged individualism versus the warmth of collectivism.
• 42:52
  What in the world is happening in Minnesota?
• 42:56
  Minnesota is falling apart, it's coming undone.
• 43:00
  This this leader over there in Minnesota, I wouldn't call him a leader.
• 43:05
  Um he is uh he's coming unraveled, and in the process of him coming unraveled.
• 43:11
  There's another report out brought to you by our friends at defending education, that K-12 schools in Minnesota are issuing ethnic studies, and there's a whole list of things here that they want to produce.
• 43:26
  And I and I think while the whole Somali uh childcare health service ring is being uh blown up and discovered and and the and the truth there is coming out.
• 43:42
  I think we need to look at Minnesota education.
• 43:46
  I think now we need to go to the the teachers' union.
• 43:49
  We need to go to K-12 education in Minnesota and find the corruption there because I'm telling you it's there, it's deep, and we need to look at it.
• 43:58
  All right, I'm gonna get into this report uh about the uh the Minnesota mandate and ethnic studies in K-12.
• 44:06
  We'll pick that up on the other side of the break.
• 44:08

  All right, so Minnesota is coming undone, it's unraveling at the seams.
• 47:21
  This kid, this this 20, I don't know, is he 23, Nick Shirley?
• 47:26
  He is blowing the doors off of Minnesota.
• 47:31
  So I saw this article that came out the other day, and I'm not gonna say the author's name because I like him, but I was a little annoyed.
• 47:39
  The article started out with uh our work has uncovered the Somali child care scandal in Minnesota.
• 47:48
  Our work because of what we are doing.
• 47:51
  And I'm I'm like, all right, maybe he's referring to the movement, right?
• 47:54
  You know, hopefully he's going to give credit to Nick Shirley.
• 47:57
  You know, he didn't.
• 47:58
  He took credit for himself because of some report he and somebody else put out six months ago.
• 48:07
  All right, I mean, maybe maybe you knew about it, and so you issued a report six months ago, but your report six months ago didn't blow the doors off of this.
• 48:18
  Don't take credit for for doing something that you didn't do.
• 48:23
  I mean, acknowledge that you knew about it, acknowledge you issued a report, and then acknowledge nobody cared about your report.
• 48:30
  They didn't care about it until they actually saw the video footage of the of the learning center.
• 48:40
  And the fact that the learning center had no kids in it, and also the fact that the learning center is receiving millions of dollars in state taxes.
• 48:52
  That's what's going on over there.
• 48:54
  Don't don't take uh that just that bothers me.
• 48:57
  I'm not again, I'm not gonna say his name because I like him.
• 49:00
  He does good work, I follow him, but you can't be taking credit for something that isn't yours.
• 49:06
  I'm just I just I don't know what's going on.
• 49:09
  All right.
• 49:10
  So uh I said that to say this.
• 49:12
  Minnesota's unraveling, it's coming undone.
• 49:16
  In addition to us looking at Somali daycares and Somali health service providers.
• 49:23
  We need to be looking at the education system, because right now there's there's a mandate that uh next fall in Minnesota K-12 schools, they they have to introduce ethnic studies, and we're a little troubled by this.
• 49:42
  It's endorsed, of course, by the state teachers unions, these ethnic study curricula are being developed for taxpayer dollars, and so what are they?
• 49:53
  What is included in the in the curriculum?
• 49:57
  Now, here it is.
• 49:58
  Sixth graders are going.
• 50:00
  Going to learn the 13 guiding principles of black lives matter.
• 50:05
  Okay, is that what you want in Minnesota?
• 50:08
  Do you want your sixth graders learning the 13 guiding principles of Black Lives Matter?
• 50:14
  Okay, they're right out of the Communist Manifesto Notebook.
• 50:18
  I mean, they're right out of the playbook, the Marxist playbook.
• 50:23
  You want your you, I mean, I'm I'm just asking you the question is this what we want?
• 50:27
  I'm sure the answers are resounding no.
• 50:30
  We don't want our sixth graders learning about the 13 guiding principles of stupidity from black lives matter.
• 50:40
  Seventh graders.
• 50:41
  Okay, let's look at the seventh grade list.
• 50:44
  Seventh graders are going to learn how protesters have breached federal buildings.
• 50:50
  What?
• 50:53
  Okay.
• 50:54
  Um, is that what we want to be teaching our seventh graders?
• 50:57
  Here's how you can breach a federal building when you're when you're protesting.
• 51:01
  We're gonna make sure that you graduate here with the ability to protest and the know-how to breach a federal building.
• 51:09
  High school students are going to be able to identify plans of action that people have used to resist, refuse, and create alternatives to oppressive systems.
• 51:20
  Mainly this oppressive system in the United States of America.
• 51:26
  It's oppressive.
• 51:27
  Rugged individualism is so oppressive.
• 51:30
  Why we need the warmth of collectivism?
• 51:33
  That's what we're gonna teach these kids the warmth of collectivism.
• 51:39
  The 11th and 12th grade description, a part of it reads this way.
• 51:42
  Students will be able to explain how race is socially constructed and how that social construction has been used to oppress people of color, specifically in relation to Jim Crow segregation and racial covenants.
• 51:57
  I wonder if if this Marxist curriculum is going to teach the students that Jim Crow was a Democrat.
• 52:08
  You think that's going to happen?
• 52:10
  No, that's not going to happen because they don't they don't want them to know that he was a Democrat.
• 52:16
  Now it's a that they want this associated with Jim Crow.
• 52:21
  But they don't want to associate Jim Crow with the Democrats.
• 52:24
  So that's not even that's not even gonna be thought in their mind.
• 52:31
  The Minnesota Department of Education defines ethnic studies as an interdisciplinary area of instruction that analyzes how race and racism have been and continue to be social, cultural, and political forces and the connection of race to the stratification of other groups.
• 52:56
  Uh, they they want us to believe that race is a social construct.
• 53:05
  Yeah, I mean, it's the color of our skin, but it shouldn't be a focus.
• 53:13
  And internally, good people don't make it a focus.
• 53:19
  It's not, it's not a focus.
• 53:22
  But Marxists who need division, they've got to have division in order to get what they want.
• 53:29
  Then to them, it becomes an absolute focus.
• 53:33
  So here we are in Minnesota.
• 53:34
  The state law requires public schools to incorporate ethnic studies in mandatory social study courses.
• 53:43
  It doesn't matter what grade, it's all across grade level.
• 53:47
  And in addition to offering a standalone ethnic study, elective course for juniors and seniors.
• 53:55
  So they are going to infiltrate the hearts and minds of K-12 all the way with some type of ethnic study.
• 54:03
  And then when they get to the 11th and 12th grade, they're gonna hit them with this standalone ethnic course that's going to infiltrate their hearts and minds with communism.

  And so that's how we get to this point where liberals are storming the streets of New York City and Philadelphia and other places demanding justice for Maduro.
• 54:32
  How do you uh this is a product of our education system?
• 54:37
  Mom Donnie is a product of our education system.
• 54:42
  Because we have students raised to believe that rugged individualism is frigidity, but collectivism, by golly, it's warmth.
• 54:53
  It's warmth, and it's lovely.
• 54:55
  That's what's what our kids are being taught.
• 54:59
  In 2023, the Minnesota Department of Education stipulated that the ethnic studies context is expected to be embedded in other subject areas, including math.
• 55:11
  Yeah, they're gonna teach them ethnicity and math.
• 55:14
  P.E.
• 55:15
  Yeah.
• 55:16
  I don't know how that's gonna work, but they're gonna do it.
• 55:18
  Health.
• 55:20
  Uh all of these courses are gonna be inundated, interjected, uh, infected.
• 55:30
  And that's a better word, infected with racism, infected with um Marxism.
• 55:40
  So while Minnesota unravels at the political scene, um, somehow we gotta we gotta turn Nick Shirley uh uh loose on the um the K-12 system over there in in Minnesota because this kid's a beast.
• 55:56
  He is fearless and he's a beast and he's and he's doing good work.
• 56:01
  Citizen journalism.
• 56:03
  Who knew that you could just go out with your camera and uh blow the doors off of the corruption, not only taking place in Minnesota, but not now it's springboarding.
• 56:15
  The doors are being blown off similar corruption in uh Washington, California.
• 56:21
  It's we're probably gonna see it in Illinois.
• 56:24
  Uh we're just gonna watch this thing unfold, and it's beautiful.
• 56:28
  This is rugged individualism.
• 56:30
  Mr.
• 56:30
  Shirley is an example of rugged individualism.
• 56:33
  So of course, mom Donnie and his ilk are gonna refer to him as frigid.
• 56:39
  There's nothing warm about him.
• 56:41
  No, he needs the warmth of collectivism.
• 56:43
  Nope.
• 56:44
  Nope.
• 56:45
  Sorry.
• 56:45
  Rugged individualism.
• 56:47
  That's what we're all about.
• 56:48
  Okay, we're gonna continue uh hammering this point home.
• 56:52
  And I'm just glad that you're here for it.
