  Speaker 3: We choose to go to the moon and do the
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: other thing. Not because they are easy, but because they
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: are hard. It is time for us to realize that
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: we are too great a nation to limit ourselves to
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: small dreams.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: I have a dream that one day this nation will
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: rise up and live out the true meaning of its dream.

  Speaker 1: American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Park. 3, 2, 1.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: This is American Ground Radio with Stephen Park with Louis R.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Avalone.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: You know, I think we need to take a very
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: good look at what is happening in France right now.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: You've got police officers that are injured. schools that are vandalized,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you've got barricades in the streets, you've got thousands of arrests,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: young people confronting authorities, while videos of this chaos is
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: spreading across social media. Now, we're being told that they
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: are student protests, and that may have been how they started.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: But when a demonstration turns into burning buildings and attacking
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: police officers and destroying neighborhoods, you're really not talking about
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: ordinary student activism. You're talking about a breakdown of law
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and order. And there is a much bigger lesson here
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: for the United States of America because what we are
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: watching in France raises questions about immigration, assimilation, national identity,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and what happens when an entire generation begins losing respect
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: for the institutions that hold a society back. And that
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: is what I believe we are seeing in France, and
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: what is happening there will be visited upon this country
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: if we do not maintain our country as a nation
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: of laws and not of men.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: This is right. I mean, what's happening in France is
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: a prime example of what will happen anywhere if you
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: allow people into your country who, one, don't hold the
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: same values that your country has, and two, are willing
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: to use violence for political ends. Anytime that you are
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: letting in massive amounts of people who do not hold
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: your same values, and those same people are willing to
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: use violence to achieve whatever political goals they want to achieve,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: This is where you end up. It gets worse when
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: your own political leaders aren't willing to match force with
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: force to defend the rest of society. And there's a
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: problem in France right now. The Macron administration and most
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: of the people in government in France are leftists. And
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: they're like, oh, gosh, we can't. Oh, we can't profile. Oh,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: we can't. Oh, we don't want to be, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: we don't be racist. We don't want to be. We
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: don't hurt anybody's feelings. Dude, they're burning cars on the Champs-Élysées.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: So at what point do you stand up and defend France?
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So when I said that it was a protest that
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: was started by students, it was. Students were complaining about
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: overcrowded classrooms and teacher shortages, deteriorating buildings, and they didn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: think the government was listening. Now, those are legitimate concerns,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: and a peaceful protest is a legitimate response. But some
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: of these demonstrations descended into very serious violence. And here's
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: where this whole point or issue becomes a little more complicated.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: There are some who say this is a Muslim uprising,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and they point to videos of young people from immigrant neighborhoods,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: including areas with substantial Muslim populations in France. They are
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the ones they say are who are participating in these
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: violent confrontations. And so they're asking, you know, a lot
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: of folks are asking the question, you know, is France
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: witnessing the consequences of decades of failed immigration and assimilation policies?
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: And I think those questions deserve some serious examination. We
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: need to distinguish between what we can see and what
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we can actually prove. I mean, you can't look at
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: somebody on a video and automatically know their religion. You know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: maybe the way they're dressed, that I would probably.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: The keffiyehs, the Palestinian flags, the hijabs.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, that can, in fact, indicate what your faith is.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: But many of these young people are from these Muslim
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: immigrant populations. They are. And that's why some folks say
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: maybe this is a Muslim uprising.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: When you look at the video, that's what it looks like.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: And, you know, the thing is, when you're trying to protest,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: like when you think about the United States and the
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: civil rights activism, right? The sit-ins and the stand-ins and the,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you know, folks, you know, protesting or, you know, picket lines.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It was.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: folks trying to build something better, right? They were exercising
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: their constitutional right in this country for freedom of expression,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: freedom of speech, but they were trying to build something better.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: These folks in Paris, they're not trying to build something better.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: They're just enjoying the opportunity to tear something down. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's one of the most dangerous developments any
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: society can experience. Because you can negotiate with somebody like
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: think about martin luther king jr right right you very
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: controversial at the time and there were a lot of
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: folks that were opposed to him of course he was
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: very peaceful in his protests but he also accepted the
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: consequences of those protests if if He was arrested, he
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: was arrested. If he was jailed, he was jailed. You
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: know what I'm saying? But again, he was trying to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: build something better. And you can negotiate with somebody who's
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: trying to build something better. You can negotiate with somebody
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: who has a legitimate grievance. You can debate somebody who
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: has a political disagreement. But how do you negotiate with
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: somebody whose primary objective is destruction? I mean, what concession
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: do you offer somebody who gets satisfaction from setting a
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: car on fire? I mean, what education reform satisfies somebody
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: who enjoys throwing bricks at police officers? That is a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: very different problem. And, you know, you've got this radicalization,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: in fact, among young people. And it does. It begins
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: with this broader rebellion against society, but then somewhere in
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: there it acquires some religious identity very often. And when
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: you think about the number of folks, the number of
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: police officers, 715 police officers have been injured, hundreds of
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: injured students and school personnel, thousands of people, have been arrested.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: And just massive disruption.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Two dozen schools have been burned or ransacked.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And see, this is where you get to, okay, this
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: isn't about not having nice things. This is about trying
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: to undo the entire political system. If you're mad that
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: your school isn't up to date and doesn't have improvements,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: you don't burn the school down. That's where we get
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: to This isn't about what they say it's about. This
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: is about something else. And what it's about is France
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: has stopped trying to protect French identity in France.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: And look, you can have a nation with many religions.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: I know we kind of targeted Muslims in this discussion
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: or highlighted them, I should say. You know, you can
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: have a nation with many religions, many backgrounds, and many cultures,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: but you cannot maintain a peaceful nation with all these
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: competing standards. especially when there's some disagreement about whether the
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: laws have to be obeyed in the first place.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Well, and you can't maintain your culture when you have
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: massive members of people in your society who reject your culture.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Let's get to the top of the things you need
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: to know. First thing you need to know, President Trump
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: announced on Friday he's reached an agreement with Russia to
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: ship more diesel fuel. President Trump said he talked to
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin, who said Russia would immediately send 300,000 tons
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: of diesel to the United States, followed by another 500,000
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: tons in November and 1 million tons by December. President
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: Trump expects that to bring down the price of diesel
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: here in the United States very quickly. Trump posts on
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: True Social, between our total control of the Strait of
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Hormuz and this great announcement on Russian energy, diesel prices
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: for Americans and indeed the world will be coming down
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: in record numbers. and fast. Gas and diesel prices have
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: increased this year since the US attacked Iran.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not saying we need to embrace Putin,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: but at least they're participating in some cooperative endeavor with us.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but the left is going to be saying, okay,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: now the U.S. is funding Russia's war against Ukraine.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: A thousand percent.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: Second thing you need to know, ICE officers in New
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: York City shot an illegal alien with a lengthy criminal
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: record after the man allegedly tried to ram the officers
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: with his car. 28-year-old Oscar Belgal is in the country
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: illegally in front of the Dominican Republic. He is reportedly
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: a member of the violent gang Trinitarios. You know what, Mamdani?
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: How about you demand that folks don't try to run
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: over law enforcement in your city?
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: And the third thing you know, President Trump has named
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: a new White House press secretary. 41-year-old Katie Zacharia was
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: offered the position on Friday, accepted the role. Zacharia previously
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: worked for the Department of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: She then moved to Truth Social, where she served as
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: the senior communications advisor. President Trump said she had a, quote,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: unblemished record of support and has been a loyal and
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: brilliant supporter right from the beginning. The previous press secretary,
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Carolyn Leavitt, left the post earlier this summer to spend
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: more time with her family. Leavitt has since been named
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: a Fox News contributor.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Boy, I tell you, that is a tough, tough job.
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Especially when your boss is Donald Trump.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Is essentially his own press secretary. You can do all
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: of the work. You can do all of the homework.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And then he comes in and just kind of upsets
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the whole apple cart.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: But she was working for True Social, which is where
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: he posts most of his stuff out. So she should
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: know that going in.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: So she knows what she's getting into. We'll be right back, Instagram.
• 11:54

  Speaker 3: Stephen Parr with Louis R.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Avalone.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: What a first world problem this is.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Oh, no.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Let me explain. Okay, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. You know,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: you're familiar with Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, of course, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: we all are. Love them. You know, chocolate on the outside.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: My wife hates them. You got your chocolate in my
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: peanut butter. I got my, you got my peanut butter
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: in your chocolate.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I love chocolate. I love peanut butter.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: You do love peanut butter. I love peanut butter probably
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: more than chocolate, but nevertheless.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I would say behind pizza, peanut butter is your favorite food.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: You're absolutely correct.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: So Reese's is selling seasonal peanut butter pumpkins. So it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: chocolate on the outside, and it's peanut butter on the inside,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: like the regular Reese's peanut butter cups, but it is
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: shaped somewhat like a pumpkin. And... On the wrapper, there's
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: a picture of the candy with a little jack-o'-lantern face
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: carved into it. Well, there were two folks down in
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: Florida who bought this package of Reese's peanut butter pumpkins,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: and they opened it up, getting ready to enjoy this
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: delicious treat, and they discovered there was not a jack-o'-lantern
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: face carved actually carved into it like it shows on
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the packaging. So it's in the shape, it's still in
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the shape of a pumpkin, but on the packaging, there
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: was a little jack-o'-lantern face, you know, shown superimposed over.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: Carved on the chocolate.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, exactly. But it was an artist rendering.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like, you know, an actual photo. Okay. So
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: they bought the candy, they opened it up, And they go,
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: wait a minute, this pumpkin doesn't have eyes, a nose,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: or a mouth. It's just chocolate and peanut butter shaped
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: like a pumpkin. They were expecting a jack-o'-lantern, and instead
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: they just got a delicious piece of candy. So somebody
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: called the authorities, right? Well, they did. They called a lawyer.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: And they sued Reese's for $ 5 million. $ 5 million.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Because they didn't have a jack-o'-lantern carved into the chocolate.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Yes. I mean, how ridiculous is this? So now.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: I picture the attorney that was Kramer's attorney on Seinfeld.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: There's no chocolate. There's no carbon in the chocolate. Oh,
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: that's ridiculousness.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: And so now, real quick.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: On the package now. Hold on. Hold on. There's a
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: package that says... On the package, they've added the words, carving,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: not on actual product.
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: You know, this could be a do-it-yourself project. You could
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: just carve it.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It's just ridiculous, isn't it? We've lost our common sense.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: We've got a question for our American Mamas. Dear Mamas,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: are you proud to be white?
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American Mamas.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Mamas. Mamas. Mamas. Mamas.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: And joining us now, our American mama, Terry Netterville. I
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: don't know, you're not as white as I am. Well,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, blonde hair, blue eyes. Yeah, I mean, yeah,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: you're pretty darn white. So you're proud of that?
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Of course.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think it'd be pretty sad not to
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: be proud of myself for being born, who I was,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: to whom I was born to, and to have the
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: skin color and everything. proud of my family.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I'm proud.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: I'm proud to be a white person and I don't
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: know why people feel cautious to say that. There's nothing
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: wrong with that. Just like there's nothing wrong to be
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: proud to be black and there's nothing wrong with proud
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: to be Mexican and Chinese and whatever. You should be
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: very proud of who you are, your race. There's so
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: many good things that came from your race. Good people
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: of your all races came Yeah. It's a great history.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: So there is this video going around and it shows
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: an interviewer interviewing people and saying, hey, are you proud
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: to be black? And yeah, absolutely proud to be black.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Are you proud to be Asian? Yes, absolutely. Are you
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: proud to be Hispanic? Yes. Are you proud to be white? No.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: No. And it's interesting, multiple people that he interviewed, white,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: not proud to be white.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: They didn't want to say they were proud.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: They were afraid to say that they were proud to
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: be white.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: But it's okay to be proud to be everything else.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Everything else. Yeah, for sure. It makes me think that
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: they have done, whoever they are, have done a bang-up job.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Even white journalists will say, you know, they're white apologists.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: That when we went through all that stuff, the.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh. It was very.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Well, all the Democrats that put on these scarves and
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: the contagion or whatever, the kneeling in the Hall of Statues...
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: It's so ridiculous.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: It's so virtuosic.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: It was crazy. Yeah.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: It's just... All of it's just not even real. It's
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: just play acting to get votes. But... But I think
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: the white race, especially white men, have been so vilified,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: pushed down, oppressed. All the things. Don't admit that you're proud.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: That white kids, these are college kids. I saw the
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: same video. They're afraid to say they're proud to be white.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: That maybe somehow if they say they're not, then they'll
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: be accepted into this group. No, look around at all
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: of your other counterparts. And see how proud they are.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: The black women and men were like, of course I'm
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: proud to be black. Very proud. The Latinos, yes, I
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: am very proud. And the Asians, of course, I'm so
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: proud to be Asian. And all the whites were like
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: looking around like, uh, what do I say? You say, yes,
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: you are very proud to be white. We had forefathers
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: too that came and did great things. Just like every race,
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: you have the good ones and the bad ones. We
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: learn from the bad ones. We learn from the good ones.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: But to feel like that in a group that you should,
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: in order to be accepted by the others, be ashamed
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: to be your own race.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: That is so sad.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: It's wrong.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: And it's laughable to me because I'm thinking there's no
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: way anybody could make me not be proud to be
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: my color.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: You know, and I have a little bit of a
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: different take on it. I agree that I should not
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: be ashamed of my skin color. And I don't think
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: anybody should be ashamed of their skin color. But I
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: also go, I didn't pick this. Okay, so I had
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: nothing to do with my skin tone other than maybe
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: I don't go outside enough. But I didn't pick my
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: skin tone. So why would I take pride in something
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't do? Okay. So, but for me then, that
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: means I don't think anybody should be walking around going,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: I'm proud of my skin tone. Well, you didn't pick it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, what did you do?
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: But I also go, you absolutely should not be ashamed.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: You should not be apologizing for whatever you are, because again,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: you had nothing to do with it.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Be proud of who you are. Be proud. What was
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: it we were going through? I don't know if it
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: was George Floyd or COVID where they were making people
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: get on their knees, white people get on their knees.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: It was George Floyd, yeah.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: George Floyd. That was when there was a big turning point.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: During that time.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: In the middle of COVID, George Floyd.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: And people were so afraid.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: That they would get on their knees. I remember this
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: one young doctor, probably a resident, coming out of the hospital.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: And the person behind the camera was saying, get on
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: your knees right now and say George Floyd's name.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: Remember that?
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: I do remember that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: And they would get on their names and say, I
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: support George Floyd or whatever it was.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: It made me sick to my stomach.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Right, because it's a form of violence.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: What if we reverse that?
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: And said, get on your knees and say, I praise
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Do it.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Do it.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Can you imagine?
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. It's absolutely not okay.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: So that was as wrong as it was back in
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: the days when the Civil Rights Movement and there were
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: the white people who were being terrible to the white people.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: They should have been vilified. They should have been shamed.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: That's not going on right now. So everybody can be proud.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: And I love it because I see... I listen to
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: so many black podcasts, conservative podcasts, because they are so smart, wise,
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: and they're on board with knowing what's real and what's not.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: And they're trying to say to their own black brothers
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: and sisters, as they call them, listen, get off the plantation.
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: They're making you do this. We are free. We can
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: do whatever the white man does. We are fine. And
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: that's the truth. We're all equal now. Just treat each
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: other that way.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: And none of us should be ashamed of the skin
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: we were born in.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: No.

  Speaker 1: Radio Welcome back to American Ground Radio.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I'm Steve Paul with Lewis R. Avalone.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: You know, President Trump made an important point at the
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: White House during his Columbus Day celebration. Okay. He said
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: there are people on the political left who want to
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: abolish Columbus Day. That's true. And I think there's a
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: legitimate question Americans ought to be asking. Why have we
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: reached a point where celebrating an extraordinary historical achievement is
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: treated as something we should be ashamed of. You know
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying? I mean, Christopher Columbus wasn't a perfect man.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: No.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: None of us are. Not by a long shot. Right.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: And especially when we're talking about Christopher Columbus, no, he
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: was way imperfect. I mean, we're not all, you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: I say that not all of us are created, you know,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: equally imperfect. There are some that are more imperfect than others.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Christopher Columbus probably qualifies as one of those. But at
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: the same time, I don't know that his treatment or
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: mistreatment of indigenous people or the enslavement or the exploitation
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: of other demographics are exactly what the left describes them as.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, so one of the things the left does... is
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: they view the world through an oppression lens. And anybody
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: that gets ahead must be getting ahead by oppressing other people.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: That if you have achieved, they think the only reason
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: you've achieved is because you've taken away from someone else.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: The world is a finite pie. And if you have some,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: that means somebody else doesn't have any, right?
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: So they look at Columbus through this lens and they go, well,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Columbus was a colonizer. Columbus One of the first things
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: he did, he took slaves back from the New World,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: and there was never slavery in the New World. Columbus
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: was an oppressor. Look, there was slavery in the New
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: World long before Columbus got here. We talk about the pilgrims, right?
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: And that first Thanksgiving. And we talk about the Native American, Squanto,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: who actually spoke English. Squanto was a slave of the
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: local tribe near Plymouth Rock.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: Columbus didn't discover an empty continent. There were already millions
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: of people who lived in the Americas.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Who were flawed just as much as the people who
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: came on the boats. There is none good, no not one.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: The left is saying if you're oppressed, that must mean
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: you're good, and if you are wealthy, that must mean
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: you're oppressing. If you've accomplished anything of any merit, you
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: must be oppressing somebody to do it.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: And I think where the debate sometimes goes wrong is
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: some people believe that acknowledging a historical figure's accomplishments means
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: you're somehow endorsing everything that person ever did. And that's ridiculous.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: We don't teach history that way. Look, we recognize George
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Washington's leadership while acknowledging the fact that, yes, he did
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: own slaves. Thomas Jefferson, all of his contributions to American liberty,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: and yet there were a lot of contradictions in his life.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: And they were products of their times. You use this
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: standard that the left uses to judge Columbus. Future generations
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: will look back on us and they will judge us
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: poorly every single time because we are products of our time.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Well, and the purpose of remembering history isn't to glorify
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: everything that happened.
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: No, but can you learn from the good? And can
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: you learn from the bad? Can you learn from it?
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, honor what deserves honoring.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: And learn from what went wrong.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Let's dig deep. So there's a big question
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: right now in the Texas Senate race. Where is James Tallarico?
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: Have you seen this?
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Well, he was like, he had the flu. They said
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: he was sick.
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: He's been missing for the campaign trail. And his campaign's
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: been canceling appearances. They're not scheduling any new stops in
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: the future. And we're in the homestretch of the election, right?
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: So what's going on? And as you pointed out, He
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: released a statement earlier this week. He said, quote, he's
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: been ill. Last night it got so bad that I
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: went to the urgent care here in Dallas and I
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: was diagnosed with the flu.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Okay. So he was on injured reserve, but now he's
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: been cleared. He's back on the field, right?
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: It was 13 days that he was missing in action.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: 13 days. Now the flu usually only lasts five to
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: seven days. And the worst symptoms of the flu are
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: usually in days one through three. You may not be
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: fully feeling yourself for almost 13 days, but you're almost
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: always good enough to go back to work after 7, right?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: So are you suspecting that maybe he wasn't really sick
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: and that this was some sort of political strategy like
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden to remain in his basement?
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a political strategy to remain
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: in his basement because the left seems just about as
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: upset at this as Republicans. The Daily Beast, which is
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: a far-left publication, Democrats panic as star vanishes from campaign trail.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: That's the headline from the Daily Beast. They're like, this
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: is not good. This is not good. My question is, well,
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: it's twofold. Why is Tallarico's flu so severe and lasting
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: twice as long as almost everybody else's flu? And if
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: it wasn't the flu, what was actually going on? And
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I think that as voters we, We have the right
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: to have those answers. Now, this is definitely stirring up
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: the rumor mill. When you give an answer that doesn't
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: make sense, people will start coming up with their own answers, right?
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: So Republican Spencer Pratt, remember he ran for mayor in
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles. Well, he says it wasn't the flu. He
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: tweeted out, my sources are telling me Tallarico is in
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: a mental health facility. His campaign stopped actively planning events
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: in the vital homestretch of the campaign. Now, I have
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: no way of knowing if what Spencer Pratt said Spencer
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Pratt is posting out is true. It doesn't make a
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: lot of sense to me that a Republican in California
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: would have more information about a Democrat candidate in Texas
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: than the Daily Beast does. But frankly, I also don't
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: believe Tallarico had the flu that incapacitated him for two
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: weeks so badly that he couldn't leave his house. That
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: math doesn't work either.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: OK, but at the same time, you know, it could
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: be a strategy. It could be a strategy where you
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: kind of just sit back, keep your mouth shut, let
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: your opponent Do the talking. It's kind of like, what,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: in tennis, you know, sometimes.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: You just hold serve.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: You just hold serve.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Well, you might hold serve, but you may play very conservatively.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: And you're waiting for your opponent to basically an unforced error.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: But you do that when you're way ahead, right?
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Well, it seemed like he had a lot of momentum.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: But all of this time that he's been missing from
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the campaign trail, his poll numbers have been dropping. So
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: if that was a campaign strategy, it was a dumb one.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: But look, there is reason for voters to be skeptical
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: of Tallarico's flu. And let me just mention a couple
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: of these reasons. Joe Biden, Mitch McConnell, Dianne Feinstein, many,
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: many others. The reason we can't trust politicians to tell
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: us the truth about their health is that too many
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: politicians have lied about their health when they thought it
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: would improve their political fortunes. So my question now is,
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I do not believe Tallarico has been telling us the
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: truth about the flu. I don't think it lasted 13 days.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: I don't think he was so incapacitated by the flu.
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: Maybe he had the flu for part of it, but
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: there's something else going on. And I think we have
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: the right to know. But the question is, what was
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: going on that was so bad that Tallarico was like,
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: if I tell the voters what was actually going on,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I'm going to lose support.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, it could be maybe he's overwhelmed the national attention.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of attention.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: The pressure of it all. It's a lot of pressure.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: And maybe there was some idea that, you know what,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: you might win this.
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: And maybe he needed a break. Okay, that's fine. And
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: maybe it was a mental health thing. But he needed
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: to tell the people about it. And I'm going to
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: give you another example. John Fetterman. Fetterman had a stroke
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: while he was on the campaign trail. And you know
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: what his campaign did the next day? They released a statement.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: John Fetterman had a stroke. Now, there's no way that
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: helped him in the campaign.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: But it was honest.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: But it was honest. Then after he was elected to office,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: he went and checked himself into a mental health facility.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: He said, I am struggling with my mental health. Just
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: after I got in, and I need to deal with this.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I'm going to be in a mental health facility. And
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: everybody went, okay. Honesty is the best policy, and as voters,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: we deserve it.

• 32:14
  Speaker 3: I'm Stephen Paul with Lewis R.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Avalone. You know, one of the most sensational stories to
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: come out of January 6th was President Trump supposedly trying
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: to grab the steering wheel of his presidential vehicle and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: that he lunged at Secret Service agents because he wanted
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: to go to the Capitol. He wanted basically to take control,
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: take the wheel of the beast and drive to the
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Capitol himself.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: None of that happened. It's all fake news.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: It's all a lie.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Well, Cassidy Hutchinson, she actually testified before Congress that all
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: of that happened. In June of 2022, she testified before
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: the January 6th committee and described this extraordinary confrontation. She
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: claimed that she'd been told that Trump was furious when
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: the Secret Service agents refused to take him to the Capitol.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: And according to her account, Trump reached toward the steering
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: wheel and lunged at agent Bobby Engel.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Now, There's just one enormous problem with this.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: Bobby Engel said it didn't happen.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Well, and Cassidy Hutchinson, who testified before Congress that all
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: of this occurred, wasn't in the vehicle. She didn't see
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: or hear any of this alleged confrontation to which she
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: was testifying.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Which means her testimony was not truthful. She knew it
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: wasn't truthful, which would make that perjury.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: Well look hearsay isn't automatically a lie okay okay but
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: when you're making an allegation that that's serious about a
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: president of the united states i think the american people
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: deserve a little corroboration.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: But there's a reason why hearsay is not allowed in
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: court cases for the vast majority of cases.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Well a lot of times it can be it gets thrown.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: It gets thrown out right Well, you weren't there.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: It's objected to.
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: You don't know. Okay, it's thrown out. That's hearsay. All right,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: we won't use that. But no one objected.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: No, no one objected. And the question, my question is,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: why was such a sensational secondhand allegation presented to the
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: American people with so much drama before the conflicting testimony
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: was Before the evidence that she wasn't actually in the beast,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: in the vehicle with President Trump was fully resolved.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Because the January 6th committee was never about finding the truth.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: The January 6th committee was always about intending to lie
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: to the American people. That was the point of it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. Lying under oath isn't acceptable
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: just because your testimony is intended to damage a politician.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: And that's not fake news.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: You are fake news.

  Speaker 3: Louis R. Avalone.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: You know, there's something about President Donald Trump's campaign schedule
• 39:19

  Speaker 2: spend his evenings at the white house enjoy a nice
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: dinner with melania Let somebody else do all the traveling.

  Speaker 3: He could do what Joe Biden did and spend the
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: afternoons in bed.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: But instead, he's getting on airplanes. He's standing before thousands
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: of people. He's giving speeches. He's shaking hands. He's campaigning
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: across America. And I think there's a lesson here that
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: when something matters to you, you don't just talk about it.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: You work for it. You want to leave it all
• 40:09

• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Michael Disko was born and raised around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: was planning on becoming a dentist, but when several NCAA
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: colleges started recruiting him for multiple sports, his plans began
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: to change. Michael was a four-sport star at Pitt, playing baseball, basketball, wrestling,
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: and football. When he was a junior, he was named
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: team captain of the football team, selected the college All-American team,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: then drafted by the Chicago Bears and switched from wide
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: receiver to tight end, scoring 12 touchdowns in his rookie year.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: He was later traded to the Philadelphia Eagles and eventually
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys, but it was when he returned to the
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: Bears as their head coach in 1982, leading them to
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: win the Super Bowl in just three years, that he
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: really made his name. You see Mike Disko's family changed
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: their last name to Ditka when he was a child,
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: which made it easier for Americans to pronounce. Mike Ditka
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: passed away this week at the age of 86.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: The coach of the Bears.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.
