  Speaker 4: With your host Rich Valdez.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you mister Chris Libertini, production director at WABC Radio
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in New York City. And of course a big thanks
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: to our executive producer mister Samensa from the Mark Levin Show.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: So you want to be a gangster, all that smoke
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: any more?
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: The stuff, don't eat this trip you need take whatever
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you want, they get done. You a gangster?
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: Let one lift?
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Who So the Democrats want to be gangsters? No more,
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: mister nice guy? Huh? And she's not in jail now,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: she wants to fight. Check out this clip of Hillary
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Clinton in England earlier this week on CNN.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: to destroy what you stand for, what you care about.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: That's why I believe if we are fortunate enough to
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: win back the House and or the Senate, that's when
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: civility can start again. Untill then, the only thing that
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the Republicans seemed to recognize and respect is strength. And
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: you heard how the Republican members, led by Mitch McConnell
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: the president, really demeaned the confirmation process, insulted and attacked
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: not only doctor Ford but women who were speaking out.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: You know, look, I remember Republican operatives shutting down the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: voting in Florida in two thousand. I remember the swift
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: voting of John Carey. I remember the things that even
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: the Republican Party did to John McCain in two thousand.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I remember what they did to me for twenty five years,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: the falsehoods, the lies which Unfortunately people believe because the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Republicans have put a lot of time, money, and effort
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: in promoting them. So, when you're dealing with an ideological
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: party that is driven by the lust for power, that
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: is funded by corporate interests who want a government that
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: does its bidding.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It's hot.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: You can be civil, but you can't overcome what they
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: intend to do unless you win elections.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So you know what, I remember, missus Clinton, I
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: remember you losing in twenty sixteen. I also remember, and
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I think America is going to remember this call for incivility,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: which seems to be the going trend. And if you
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: don't believe me, wait there's more. Check out this one
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: from former Attorney General Eric Holder, speaking at what looks
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: like a school and contradicting First Lady Michelle Obama while
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: advocating violence. Michelle Always says Michelle Obama, I love her,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: you know, she and my wife like really tice, which
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: boys scares.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Me and rock.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: But Michelle Wood says that you know when they go low,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: we no, they go low, we kick right.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: That's what this new Democratic Party is about. We're proud
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: of hell to be Democrats. We're going to fight for
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the ideals of the Democratic Party.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So very very classy, mister Holder. And they say that
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Trump is uncouth, this guy wants to kick people while
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: they're down. Mister producer, does that sound like tolerance to you?
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Aren't the Democrats the party of tolerance?
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: So we would think looks like mob rule is the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: new Democrat Party. And I'm not saying that that's literally
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: what Eric Holder just said, the new Democrat Party, But
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: is it really and what I'm saying there is Wasn't
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it the Democrats that led lynchings in the South. Wasn't
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: it President Obama that said Democrats with a party of slavery?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Don't believe me, listen to this.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: I understand this is not just a matter of Democrats
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: versus Republicans or liberals versus conservatives. At various times in
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: our history this kind of politics has invected both parties.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Southern Democrats were the bigger defenders of slavery. It took
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: a Republican president, Abraham Lincoln to end it. Dixocrats filibustered
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: anti lynching legislation, opposed the idea of expanding civil rights,
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: and although it was a Democratic president and a majority
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Democrat Congress, spurred on by young marchers and protesters, they
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: got the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Over the finish.
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: Line, those historic laws also got passed because of the
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: leadership of Republicans like Illinois own Everett Dirkson. So neither
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: party has had a monopoly on wisdom.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Well well, well, so it seems that thankfully President Obama
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: decided to tell us the truth and admit that, yes,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: the Democrats are the party of slavery. And it seems
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: that the riots from the sixties, the weather underground and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: their bombings of buildings faarn and their bombings and all
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: of their mob tactics are not necessarily new to the Dems.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: This has been the strategy, or I should say the
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: strategy of the left for decades, because it was the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: radical leftists from the sixties that have molded and prepared
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: the Hilaries and Baracks of today. So, in fact, I
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: would argue that progressive liberals like John F. Kennedy helped
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: bring the Democrats back to the center. But each Democrat
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: following Kennedy, from Lyndon Johnson straight through Obama has edged
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: closer and closer to the extreme left. So now we
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: have candidates that want to oppose the constitution, like Alexandria
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Ocasio Cortez, for example, who is the prodigy of Senator
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Bernie Sanders. Now, even the likes of seemingly moderate Democrats
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Likery Booker once was and Kamala Harris once was, they've
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: even moved further to the left to be able to
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: compete with their far left progressive colleagues like Elizabeth Warren
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and Bernie Sanders. But why well, I'll tell you why.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Because at its core, leftists believe that the government is
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the cure to all ills. And in the Trump era,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: freethinking Americans are deciding to think for themselves. They want
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: to decide what's good for them and what's good for
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: their families. It's not the government deciding for us that
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the left wants. The left wants to decide what's good
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: for us. So this bothers them because liberty bothers them,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: and our god given rights to life and liberty and
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: the pursuit of happiness bothers them as well. This is America.

• 9:19
  Speaker 2: The Antifa anarchists have been going wild in Portland for years.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And I know this because my good friend Mike Strickland
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: has been speaking truth to power to them for years
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: as both an activist and a blogger in Portland, Oregon.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: So last year, he was attacked by protesters while covering
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: a demonstration in Portland and drew his licensed handgun to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: defend himself from a mob of masked left wing protesters. Now,
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: as the saying goes, no good deed goes unpunished, Mike
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: was obviously charged with some sort of violation and the
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: incident went viral, getting tons of activity on YouTube. With
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: all of the news this week with Antifa mobs attacking
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: cars and blocking I couldn't help but think of my
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: buddy Mike Strickland in Portland. So today Mike Strickland writes
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: for The Gateway Pundit, and it's my pleasure to welcome
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: here to This is America. So Mike Strickland, welcome, you're
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: on This is America.
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: Hey, thanks for having me.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: We have the audio of your attack. Why don't you
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: set the scene for us before mister producer plays that cut?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, Well, you know I covered a lot of political
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: events in the Portland area here as mainly a video
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: based news journalist that eventually morphed into landing some blogging
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: jobs too. You know, I covered a lot of things
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: that the mainstream media was not covering, and I had
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: so much leeway on YouTube and through blogs and whatnot
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: that I could pretty much cover whatever I wanted. So
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: I covered a lot of protests in the area, a
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: lot of like politician town halls, a lot of the
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: goings on at the local colleges when they're you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: doing their Marxists and doctrination and stuff.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: So on this particular day, what's it like you were
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: covering a protest to demonstr or are you just walking
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: through a neighborhood? Tell us what's going on?
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: I was covering a protest, you know, and when I
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: go to these things. I'm not there to start fights
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: or argue with anyone. I take like a fly on
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: the wall perspective. You know, I'm just standing there. I
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: keep to myself, usually have my camera on a monopod
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: and I'm just filming what happens and then you know,
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: post it up on YouTube to cover events here in
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: the Portland area. And so yeah, I was just there
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: to cover the event, see what's going on. And then
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I'm just standing there filming next thing I know GG
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: and these masked thugs led by a guy who's literally
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: twice my size, standing their mine in my own business.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: And I look over and these guys are making a
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: bee line straight for me.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I want to play the clip so that everybody can
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: can follow along on what's happening. Get out here.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I'm not a raising. I don't know why the hell back.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Okay, So that was a lot to take in. Give
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: us the play by play.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like I said, I'm just standing there
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: in minding my own business, and I look over and
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: these guys are making a bee line straight for me,
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: and they're they're led by this guy. His name is
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Benjamin Carenza, and he's literally twice my size. He's got
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: a vast criminal history. These guys are, you know, five
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: six seven, I don't even remember how many of them.
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: They're wearing masks over their faces. They're carrying their anarchist flagpoles,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: which I've personally seen used as weapons. So they started
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: circling me, they start pushing and shoving me, stream that
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: me to get out of there. I'm like, hey, you
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: don't leave me alone, don't put your hands on me,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: and I start backing away immediately. The listeners can see
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: all these videos on my YouTube channel, laughing at liberals
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: on YouTube, and so I'm backing away up the block
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: and these people are just converging on me, and it
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: reaches a point where I've been on the retreat this
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: entire time.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: And your head right now, when when you when these
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: guys are coming your way, Oh.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: They mean business.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: I've dealt with a little bit of you know, verbal
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: abuse at these things, but not quite like this, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: not not this level of a physical abuse towards me.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: And so my thing at that point is to try
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: to avoid the situation. I'm on the retreat. I'm backing
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: away the entire time as these guys are continuing to
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: bear down on me, and it reaches a point where
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: sort of the bulk of the mob and another.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Kind of back and it's got to do something to
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: defend yourself.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it reaches a point in the book the bulk
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: of the mob is to my right, so that's for
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: my attention is. And I happened to catch out of
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: the corner of my eye this big dude, Benjamin Carenza
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: now coming up on my blind side. And at that point,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: I had every reason to believe that these guys were
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: just seconds away from flattening me into the pavement, robbing
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: me of my camera gear, my computer gear. They left
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: me with pretty much no choice but to draw at
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: that point.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: With that in mind, And I mean, it sounds like
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: a lot to go through. And I know that you
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: went through a whole legal process related to that, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I can't imagine what that was. Like, what's your sense
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: of what's happening right now in Portland? As you know,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Portland's been in the news again with now Antifa in
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: the streets.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, And that's the scary precedent here that's
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: been set with my case because I was the one arrested,
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: charged with crimes, eventually found guilty of ten felonies for
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: not wanting to be beaten and robbed, and these mob
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: of thugs are considered the innocent victims. So essentially what
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: you have here on the streets of Portland is mob
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: violence has been legalized and the First Amendment has been invalidated.
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: So mobs, if fugs can go around assaulting journalists in
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: the street, and if the journalists try to stop the
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: mob of thugs, then they're the ones guilty of crimes
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: and the mob of thugs are the innocent victims. And
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: so with that scary precedent, the mobs pretty much rule
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: the streets now. The police are ordered by the mayor
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: to stand down. Let these moba thugs rule the streets.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Just yeah, watching, yeah, when.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: It happened to me a couple of years ago. No
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: police anywhere to be seen. There's comments of these guys
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: marching through the streets, screaming, yelling. You know, not a
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: single uniformed police officer anywhere to be seen. We're left
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: to fend for ourselves.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: And how do we think what's the most peaceful way
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: to resolve this film?
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: The politicians in your area film, what's actually happening in
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: the area, posted up on YouTube, posted up on Facebook.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: You know, let the world see what's actually going on
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: with these things, but stay safe.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: At the same time, tell me about your work with
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Gateway Pundit. I know that you're writing there, now tell
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: me all about it.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Oh jeez. Well, so here's one of the interesting things
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: is asker. I was found guilty of not wanting to
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: be beaten and robbed. In fact, even when I was
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: on pre trial release, they ex banned me from blogging,
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: going on Twitter, posting videos on YouTube, wow, talking to
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: the media, so I could not state my case. But
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: a lot of that's been lifted. I'm still banned from
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: filming political events, so I just try to cover what
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: I can. And again, I like to focus on things
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: that I think deserve attention that aren't being covered by meanstains.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you've always been really good at that. So
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: tell everybody that's listening how they learn more about you know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: what Mike Strickland is doing, and your work with Laughing
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: at Liberals.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, YouTube dot com slash Laughing at Liberals is my
• 16:40
  Speaker 4: YouTube channel. I encourage everybody to get out there because
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: I'd hate to see what happened to me happen to
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: anybody else.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: All Right, we'll leave it there. Thank you. Mike Strickland
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: from Portland, Oregon. Up next, we're going to talk about
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: why the left acts this way. We're going to look
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: at a few rules from Sololinsky's famous book Rules for Radicals.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: When we come back on this as America, this is Samara.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: You don't hand matches to an arsonist, and you don't
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: get power to an angry left wing mob. And that
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: is what they've become.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: The Democrats have been calmed to extreme and too dangerous
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: to govern. Republicans believe in the rule of law, not
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: the rule of the mob.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: So why does the left behave this way? From the
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: macro sense, it's in line with the thinking and teaching
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of left wing dictators, communist leaders who used emotional blackmail
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: to appeal to and manipulate the masses. If you've heard
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: me say before that there's an art of influencing, it's
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: because there is when you want to influence people, and
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the media is excellent at this, and politicians are even
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: better than they are. And the left has mastered the
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: art of influencing people by taking their emotions, hostage, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: taking whatever else they want by force. So you heard
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: me talk about Saul Alinsky, the community organizer who wrote
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: a book several but most famous for his book Rules
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: for Radicals. I want to read off a couple of
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: these rules. We're not going to be able to break
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: them down on today's program. I want to read them
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: so that you have an idea of what was going
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: through Ulinsky's mind and the approach that he takes in
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: his quote unquote community organizing. So rule number one, power
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: is not only what you have, but what the enemy
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: thinks you have. Mind you, he's talking about community organizing.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: So the enemy here is defined as people that disagree
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: with him. Just to underscore the mindset. Rule number two,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: never go outside the expertise of your people. Sounds like
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: a nice way of saying, don't try to educate people,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: keep it simple, stupid. Rule number three, whenever possible, go
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: outside the expertise of your enemy. So here he's saying,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: try to trip them up, be smarter than they are.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: And again referring to the enemy adversary, someone that you
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: know that you're trying to potentially come to a solution
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: about a community issue with, he refers to them as
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: the enemy. Rule number four. Make the enemy live up
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: to its own book of rules. Rule number five. Ridicule
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: is man's most potent weapon. I think we just saw
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: a good example of that with the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Rule number seven. A tactic that drags on too long
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: becomes a drag. Rule number eight. Keep the pressure on.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Rule number nine. The threat is usually more terrifying than
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the thing itself. Now here's another classic example that we
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: just witnessed with the threat. The threat was we'll make
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: these allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, he'll bail out, and we
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: will have knocked him off of being considered for the
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Supreme Court. Kavanaugh dug in his heels. The President had
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: his back, and this didn't fail. And that's because rule
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: number nine, the threat is usually more terrifying than the
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: thing itself. Rule number ten. The major premise for tactics
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: is the development of operations that will maintain a constant
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: pressure upon the opposition. Rule number eleven. If you push
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: a negative hard and deep enough, it will break through
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: into its counterside. Rule number twelve. The price of a
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: successful attack is a constructive alternative. Rule number thirteen pick
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Now,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: these rules come as no surprise for anybody that's ever
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: looked at rules for radicals. But for those of you
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: who haven't, eye opening, it's eye opening to see that
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: this is how folks on the left look at community organizing.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: But where does it come from?
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: What's the genesis of this? If we look at some
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: of the most accomplished communist leaders in history, we become
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: across Mao, and Mao has written multiple books. I want
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: to read to you a little bit from Mao's book.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Quotations from Mao say Tongue The Correct Handling of Contradictions
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: among the People. Mao says there are two types of
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: social contradictions, those between ourselves and the enemy and those
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: among the people themselves that confront us. The two are
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: totally different in nature. This is from the chapter entitled
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: on the Correct Handling of Contradictions among the People from
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: February of nineteen fifty seven. Mao goes on to understand
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: these two types of contradictions correctly, we must first be
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: clear on what is meant by the people and what
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: is meant by the enemy, So as you can see now.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Mao also refers to an enemy when talking about dealing
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: with contradictions amongst people. Going back to what Mao wrote
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: at the present stage the period of building socialism, the classes,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: strata and social groups that favor, support, and work for
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the cause of socialist construction all come within the category
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: of the people, while the social forces and groups which
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: resist the socialist revolution are style or to sabotage socialist
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: construction are all enemies of the people. I got this
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: excerpt from Marxists dot Org if you want to go
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: check it out. I think this speaks volumes. Here we
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: have Chairman now the chairman of the Communist Party who
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: presided over China for decades, very clearly stating that the
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: people are defined as people that are willing to work
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: with the Communist Party, people that are willing to build
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: socialism into their everyday lives. The enemy are people that disagree.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: This floors me because being American and living in a
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: country where I thought we could disagree. I have lots
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: of friends that like some like the Yankees, some like
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: the Mets. Nobody looks at each other as the enemy.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: But here they're communists. Clearly, see anybody that opposes their
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: communist ideology. If you are not on the left with them,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: you are their enemy. Yes, you heard the right. People
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: that disagree with socialism, people that disagree with communists, people
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: disagreeing with left wing ideology are enemies of the people
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: in their opinion. No wonder the leftists are okay with
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: taking things by force because they've been trained to see
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: everyone that disagrees with them as the enemy, because the
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: government controls the military, and the military can literally force
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: you to do whatever they want and say. These are
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: how communist regimes get into power. This is how Mao
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: got into power. This is how Castro got into power.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: That's why one hundred and one years ago this month,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Lenin came into power by using military force that overthrew
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: the Russian government in what's known as the Red October
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Revolution of nineteen seventeen. It was a coup, it sparked
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: a civil war, and it led to a one party
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: communist rule in Russia that redistributed the wealth and private
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: property of its citizens. Maybe Fidel Castro thought that his
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: fellow citizens in Cuba worth also the enemy of the
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: people when he jailed them for their political disagreements. So
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: it's clear to me, I don't want our great country
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: to end up like Venezuela, to end up like Russia
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: or the Soviet Union, or China for that matter. And
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: when any political party starts pushing Marxist ideas, acting like
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: strong men and taking things by force using mob tactics,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: we have to ask ourselves, how did we get here?
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: How did we get to this mob rule? How did
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: we get to this anarchy? That's where Olinsky comes in.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Saul Olinsky teaches folks on the left how to organize
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: low income earners, specifically which data suggests are oftentimes earning
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: less because they have lower levels of education. So something
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: I've always been passionate about is education. Education to me
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: is the great equalizer. Education is what will allow people
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: to be able to think freely, amass wealth, make a
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: difference in their lives. Without education, you can get stuck
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: into one of the groups that the Marxists want you
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: to be stuck in. On other fronts, last week's Snoop
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Dogg called Kanye and Uncle Tom, and this week CNN's panel,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: which consequently was made up of three or four African Americans,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, led by Don Lemon, called Kanye
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: a token negro. Take a listen to this, and he's
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: an attention more like the president.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: He's all of a sudden, now the model spokesperson. He's
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: the token negro of the Trump administration. This is ridiculous.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: So if you listen to that, you can see how
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: the media is using the art of influencing to attack
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: on the basis of race because he disagrees with them
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: politically and again, these are the tactics that the left
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: uses over and over and over again. If you disagree,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: we will label you with something that would make you
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: morally inferior. We'll call you a racist, We'll call you
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: a rapist, a sexist, misogynist, to pit you against the
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: rest of society. Because it doesn't matter what you think.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: If you think those things, somehow I'm morally superior to you,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: and you're morally inferior because you disagree with me, you're
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: the enemy. This is the effect that Marxism is having,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: and it's crept into our colleges, it's crept into our media,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: it's crept into many institutions in our country. In order
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: to stop it, we must be able to recognize it
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: so we can root it out and be Aware and
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: switching gears to our a list on Americanism section and
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: switching gears to our a list on how Five years
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: ago I used to write a column in the Washington
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Times called the A List on Americanism and it started
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: out as a look at the political activity of folks
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: in Hollywood and a list celebrities, and it kind of
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: evolved and I ended up writing about a lot of
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: different topics. But I wanted to have a segment on
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: This is America where we kind of covered that and
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: kind of give an update on Kanye since he's been
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: making so many headlines lately and he's really a lot
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: of fun to talk about. So, as I mentioned, he's
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: being chastised by the left because he's decided to disagree
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: with him, so they've called him a racist. But what
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: makes it more interesting is Taylor Swift also chimed in
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: on women in politics, and she did that to support
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: women in politics by endorsing two men, two men running
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: on the Democratic platform. So it's reported that registration goes up.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Put interestingly, the poll numbers for the Republicans also went up.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Isn't that interesting? I say it all the time, either
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: you love America or you don't. Either you love liberty
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: or you don't. If you don't stand for anything, you'll
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: fall for everything. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I'm Rich Valdez and this is America.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: This is America.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: In times like these, it's so important that we focus
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: on the facts. I always tell you to focus on
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: the facts. I think you hear that everywhere you go
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: in and that's because facts are irrefutable. It's the bottom line,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: it's the real dealing. In times like this of uncertainty,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: we need to rely on the facts. I get my
