Salazar & Congress denounce the atrocities of socialist regimes · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

• 0:24
  Well, depending on where you live, December is coming in with a benches.
• 0:28
  And here in the um in the North Midwest, it's it's coming in extra.
• 0:35
  December 1st is coming as December 1st should come.
• 0:40
  I mean, you know, we're we're coming out of Thanksgiving, and we're just we're just walking right into snow.
• 0:46
  And I mean a lot of it.
• 0:48
  We're happy about it.
• 0:49
  We are.
• 0:50
  It's we should have snow in December.
• 0:53
  I mean, that's you know, December, January.
• 0:56
  Yeah, but I'm ready for it to be gone, you know, by the time we get to the middle of January.
• 1:01
  Maybe by the time we hit the new year, I'm ready for it to be gone.
• 1:04
  It doesn't work out that way, unfortunately in Michigan.
• 1:07
  I mean, there's been years where we've had snow well into March.
• 1:11
  I mean, well, you know, we and we do get snowfall in April and even in May.
• 1:16
  But snow has remained on the ground well into March.
• 1:19
  I mean, it's spring once you get to March.
• 1:22
  All right.
• 1:22
  Well, here we are.
• 1:23
  We're we're in December.
• 1:25
  We had a great Thanksgiving week.
• 1:27
  I hope you did too.
• 1:29
  I hope that you were able to join us a little bit for history class, the the Thanksgiving week, the history class that we go to.
• 1:38
  It's an annual tradition.
• 1:40
  We've been doing it from year one.
• 1:43
  Thanksgiving rolls around, and we just feel like it's important to go into history class and to uh to discover things that maybe we we hadn't discovered yet, to learn about the pilgrims in a way that we we did not know.
• 1:59
  And even to you know, learn a little bit about European history and how how thoughts were changing, because we we get these points in time where collectively the thoughts of humanity start to shift and start to change.
• 2:18
  I guess in this regard, groupthink, which is a natural phenomenon among our species.
• 2:25
  In this regard, though, groupthink isn't so bad.
• 2:28
  When we start to realize, oh gee, maybe the earth isn't flat, or oh gee, maybe um uh maybe the uh in terms of religion, the um the Bible might say some things that uh that the current church in power is refusing to admit, or oh, oh gee, maybe maybe the universe doesn't revolve around the earth, maybe it revolves around the sun.
• 2:59
  These types of uh of ideas and this type of thinking was starting to starting to take hold in that in that time frame of the 1500s, and that's where we started history class.
• 3:11
  Okay, I'm not gonna dive back into it.
• 3:13
  I just you know, obviously I like it.
• 3:15
  If you did not have a chance to join us, or if you missed any of the days, you can uh find every single show of history class in in the podcast network, wherever you listen to your podcasts, Spotify, Apple, iTunes, I don't know, wherever you Pandora, wherever you go, or you could go to America Outloud.news, go to my show page, and boom, and you've got them all there.
• 3:41
  Matter of fact, you've got every show in podcast sitting there on the uh on the show page at America Outloud.news.
• 3:50
  Uh, by the way, if you haven't been to the site lately, the site's fantastic.
• 3:55
  Uh, there's just uh constantly, there's a lot of uh a lot of updates going on, a lot of a lot of glorious things that are that are constantly happening at America Outloud.
• 4:09
  News.
• 4:10
  And uh there are some exciting things coming down the pike that we'll be talking about this week.
• 4:17
  I'm I'm looking forward to the uh to sharing the news.
• 4:22
  I know it'll be uh all over the the home page this week.
• 4:27
  Uh there's some exciting stuff coming up uh in terms of America's 250th anniversary, and America Out Loud's 10th anniversary.
• 4:40
  So we'll we'll certainly be getting into that.
• 4:43
  What I what I want to step into today is some things that I just didn't take the time to get into last week because history class took the preeminence, and and so we go with with what's taking the preeminence in the moment, but there are there are some some news things, which I I referenced here and there a little bit throughout the week, but I did not really have an opportunity to, or I didn't take the opportunity to get into them.
• 5:14
  So we're gonna do that today.
• 5:15
  And it's it's apropos because uh today, uh, December 1st, there are some history things that we're gonna get into.
• 5:25
  And some of those history elements tie into the the events of the news cycle, and it's kind of fun when the news cycle works out this way, where it ties into a history class.
• 5:41
  It ties into some things that we can go back to and and make it applicable.
• 5:45
  This is where history becomes applicable, my friends.
• 5:49
  All right, first thing on the docket, and I did I did make mention of this a few days ago.
• 5:56
  Mom Donnie visited the White House, Mom Donnie, the the socialist communist mayor of New York visits the White House, and on that same day, you you got to give it to Congress.
• 6:10
  You really do.
• 6:11
  You've got to uh you gotta give this one over to Mike Johnson.
• 6:16
  On that same day, the House passed a resolution denouncing the horrors of socialism, and and it's appropriate.
• 6:25
  It's appropriate we're talking about this today, because uh today, December 1st, 1965.
• 6:35
  This is the day that the airlift began to bring thousands of fleeing Cubans to the United States because of Castro's communist regime.
• 6:48
  1965, December 1st, we begin to airlift them.
• 6:52
  Thousands of Cubans, thousands who were begging to not uh be trampled underfoot by Castro and Communism, and they they they begged to flee.
• 7:07
  And so we begin to airlift them out of Cuba, and and that is it's especially important today because this um this resolution here denouncing the horrors of socialism was introduced by representative Maria Elvira Salazar.
• 7:26
  She's a Republican from Florida.
• 7:29
  She's also a daughter of a Cuban immigrant who fled the communist regime of former or former Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
• 7:39
  Matter of fact, her father might have even been a part of this 1963 or 65 airlift, and here she is now, free because she was able to escape the regime.
• 7:52
  She was able to escape the crushing blow of totalitarianism brought to you by the hand of socialism.
• 8:00
  And in the case of Cuba, Fidel Castro.
• 8:05
  Uh interestingly, the tally was 285 to 98.
• 8:11
  There were 86 Democrats who joined in the resolution.
• 8:16
  86 Democrats on the day that uh a Democrat socialist mayor from New York visits the White House.
• 8:24
  I don't I don't have the list of names here, right as to the 86, but congratulations.
• 8:30
  Congratulations to the 86 Democrats who who had the the wherewithal, who had the common sense who had um perhaps maybe a true love for the country.
• 8:45
  Maybe there is a patriotic bounce left in the Democrat Party, or or maybe they were just afraid that they wouldn't survive the uh the midterm coming up in the fall if they didn't climb on board this resolution.
• 9:00
  Uh 98 of them, however, uh chose not to vote in favor of the resolution.
• 9:08
  And they're all Democrats, two of them voted present, but 98.
• 9:11
  There were still 98 Democrats who did not vote to pass the resolution denouncing the horrors of socialism, which I just don't understand.
• 9:20
  I don't get history is not on your side here, and you can attempt to rewrite it all day long, but but you're not going to be successful because there's really there's too many of us out there who are who refuse to let history die.
• 9:39
  I'm not alone.
• 9:40
  I'm not the only one out there who loves history class, and maybe these democrats feel like they've got a monopoly upon the hearts and minds of the young people.
• 9:50
  This type of history is not being delivered in public schools unless you live in Florida.
• 9:55
  Florida has said, and we've talked about this.
• 9:57
  Florida has said, yeah, look, we're talking about.
• 10:00
  The horrors of communism.
• 10:01
  It's going to be part of our curriculum in every single public school in Florida.
• 10:08
  I think the the other red states.
• 10:11
  I would hope that 49, all 49 of the other states would climb on board with that.
• 10:17
  We know the Democrat-led states aren't doing that.
• 10:21
  It's going to be up to the red states to lead the um lead the pack, as it were.
• 10:30
  Ultimately, this needs to happen.
• 10:32
  But I don't know.
• 10:33
  And I'm my point is here, I don't I don't understand these Democrats thinking that they can just kind of skirt by this, hoping that history does not reveal reveal who they are.
• 10:45
  Because it's going to.
• 10:49
  And you know, there are students in enough schools, public in Florida or otherwise, that they are learning about the horrors of socialism.
• 10:59
  All right.
• 11:00
  So 86 Democrats joined all the Republicans in favor of the resolution.
• 11:07
  Congratulations to all of the Republicans.
• 11:11
  Um to the 86 Democrats.
• 11:14
  I want to point out some of the elements of the resolution, because it's powerful.
• 11:22
  I'm not going to read the whole thing.
• 11:23
  I am going to cherry pick them.
• 11:26
  The resolution states in part that socialist ideology necessitate necessitates, let's see if I can see if I can get through this.
• 11:36
  Necessitates a concentration of power that has time and time again collapsed into communist regimes, totalitarian rule, and brutal dictatorship.
• 11:49
  And has repeatedly led to famine, mass murder, and the killing of over 100 million people worldwide.
• 11:59
  I mean, just think about those numbers.
• 12:01
  A hundred million, brought to you by one political slash economical ideology.
• 12:11
  The measure called out former Soviet Union leader Vladimir Lenin, former Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin, former Chinese leader Mao Zedong.
• 12:24
  Uh it called out the Castro brothers, um, specifically Fidel Castro, the former leader of Cuba, former Cambodian leader Pol Pot, former North Korean leader Kim Jung Il, and then the current North Korea leader, Kim Jungun, Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega, former Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez, and current Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro called all of these men out as being uh individuals who committed some of the greatest crimes in history as part of their socialist ideology.
• 13:08
  Uh here's what it reads tens of millions died in the Bolshevik Revolution.
• 13:14
  At least 10 million people were sent to the gulags in the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics, and millions more starved in the terror famine in Ukraine.
• 13:26
  Uh the uh gulag uh archipelago, uh, we are currently, I think we're about to start that.
• 13:34
  And here in our um in our government class at Waterbrook.
• 13:40
  Our seniors are about to dive into the gulag here.
• 13:43
  I mean, it's a tone.
• 13:44
  They're not going to get through all of it.
• 13:46
  But they do read portions of it because they need to understand.
• 13:51
  They need to understand the truth of socialism.
• 13:56
  Uh, and that millions were starved.
• 14:00
  Uh when they were sent to the gulags, they were sent to their death.
• 14:04
  They were starved.
• 14:05
  They were, I mean, essentially a concentration camp.
• 14:10
  You know, we we learn of the horrors of Oswich and um and everything that happened in Nazi Germany, but equal horrors took place in the gulags and the in the Soviet Russia regime.
• 14:25
  And our kids need to understand it.
• 14:27
  And they understand it here.
• 14:28
  That they learn about it at Waterbrook.
• 14:32
  We we want them to understand that socialism is not an option.
• 14:39
  It's not.
• 14:40
  If you want to live a peaceful, prosperous life, it's not an option.
• 14:46
  And they're not getting that in other places.
• 14:48
  I mean, this is why in in New York City, you've got a mayor who's a socialist.
• 14:53
  You've got representatives who are socialists.
• 14:57
  Uh, in Minnesota, you've got representatives who are socialists.
• 15:00
  I mean, here in Michigan, you know, to leave, but I mean, she's a socialist.
• 15:04
  They're all socialists.
• 15:05
  You've got Bernie Sanders, who's constantly re-elected over there in Vermont.
• 15:09
  And people know what he is.
• 15:12
  They know what he stands for.
• 15:14
  But it's because, excuse me, they are not taught the horrors of socialism.
• 15:20
  And it's happened that way on purpose.
• 15:23
  The horrors of socialism are removed from public schools by the the powers that be, so that socialism can gain a foothold in the hearts and minds of young people here in the states.
• 15:36
  And there's no other answer for it.
• 15:39
  And if you if you can think of another answer for it, then by all means.
• 15:44
  Uh, I invite you.
• 15:46
  I invite you to share that answer.
• 15:48
  It just doesn't exist.
• 15:51
  Uh, the resolution stated that the great leap forward in China under Mao killed between 15 million and 55 million people through starvation alone.
• 16:02
  Starvation caused by famine and devastation.
• 16:06
  But it was called the Great Leap Forward.
• 16:09
  You see how they how they take disaster and they they paint a pretty picture on it.
• 16:16
  This is the great leap forward.
• 16:19
  Yes, it's true that upwards of 55 million people might be done, but it's the great leap forward.
• 16:25
  Because we're we're moving in in socialism.
• 16:28
  We're everybody can care for one another.
• 16:31
  We're we're we're going to ignore the individual.
• 16:33
  We're gonna we're going to pay attention to the collective.
• 16:38
  Uh, and it's doomed to failure.
• 16:41
  Every single time it's doomed to failure.
• 16:45
  Because you know, I go to this analogy all the time.
• 16:50
  I mean, you're on the airplane, and you've got the flight attendant telling you when the oxygen mask drops, put it on yourself first.
• 16:58
  Don't try to help the person next to you.
• 17:00
  Put it on yourself first.
• 17:01
  Once you get it on yourself first, and you are established and you're breathing oxygen, then you can reach over and help the person next to you.
• 17:11
  And communism would say, oh, everybody's got to help everybody else, and then we're all gonna die together because nobody's got their oxygen mask on.
• 17:20
  And that's that's a perfect analogy.
• 17:25
  Achieve yourself, go after it.
• 17:29
  You know, capitalism allows you to achieve, it allows you to create wealth.
• 17:34
  And then when you have wealth created, yes, help help your fellow neighbor, and even show them how to create wealth.
• 17:43
  There's this opportunity here to do it.
• 17:46
  And especially in America, we have the opportunity to do it.
• 17:51
  We have the means, we have the wherewithal to pursue it and to go after it.
• 17:56
  And uh socialism uh destroys that opportunity, and it uh it claims to be a great leap forward.
• 18:05
  But in fact, it is the opposite.
• 18:09
  It is it's not only a leap backwards, it's a dead sprint backwards.
• 18:15
  It's a dead sprint into Doomsville backwards.
• 18:20
  Um, all right, I want to get into more of this resolution on the other side of this break, but I'm looking at the clock and I see that I'm up against it, and I durst not go long.

• 22:13
  So the resolution makes reference to the great leap forward in China under Mao, killing upwards of 55 million people.
• 22:24
  In addition, moreover, the resolution recalls that socialism in Cambodia led to the killing fields in which over a million people were gruesomely murdered.
• 22:36
  And so this is where we um we met this family.
• 22:43
  This this family from Cambodia.
• 22:46
  They didn't speak any English.
• 22:48
  But they they moved into the area where we lived.
• 22:52
  This little town in Michigan called Ortonville.
• 22:55
  And they they came here.
• 22:57
  I was little.
• 24:29
  We're going to get to that statement today as well.
• 24:32
  That's also a history class today.
• 24:35
  That was written.
• 24:36
  Um Abraham Lincoln wrote that today, December 1st, 1862, a hundred years prior to this airlift, uh, where we we brought refugees out of out of Cuba.
• 24:54
  So we're we're bringing people here from Cuba.
• 24:57
  People are fleeing here from Cambodia and from other places all over the world.
• 25:03
  And why are they fleeing here?
• 25:05
  And why are we airlifting them here?
• 25:09
  It's so they can escape communism.
• 25:12
  It's so they can escape socialism.
• 25:15
  And but today are because our young people don't know the atrocities of socialism and communism.
• 25:23
  I mean, they're out there electing Mamdani and whoever else, AOC and all the rest.
• 25:30
  Bernie Sanders.
• 25:37
  We're doing it.
• 25:39
  Um this resolution also notes that as many as three and a half million people are starving currently in North Korea, which by the way is a communist regime.
• 25:54
  Currently, this is happening currently.
• 25:59
  That should be a point of discussion in every history class.
• 26:03
  Or you know, civics class, whatever you want to call it, happening in America today.
• 26:08
  The the our young people should know that in North Korea, three and a half million people are starving because the North Korean government doesn't could care less.
• 26:22
  I mean, do you think Kim Jong is is starving?
• 26:25
  Do you think you think he's out there starving?
• 26:29
  Do you think he's he's hungry?
• 26:32
  Do you think Kim Jung went to bed hungry last night?
• 26:36
  Well, the answer is no, he didn't.
• 26:38
  But yeah.
• 26:40
  It's got three and a half million citizens.
• 26:43
  They went to bed hungry.
• 26:45
  And he doesn't care.
• 26:47
  Because socialism uh it creates um uh I don't know, a power vacuum, maybe uh sucking all the power into one individual, into one entity, one element.
• 27:08
  Uh and so the the Castro regime.
• 27:12
  Here's what the here's what the resolution states about that.
• 27:14
  The Castro regime in Cuba expropriated the land of Cuban farmers and the businesses of Cuban entrepreneurs, stealing their possessions and their livelihoods and exiling millions with nothing but the clothes on their back.
• 27:30
  Again, this resolution is sponsored by a representative Maria Elvira Salazar, who's the daughter of a Cuban immigrant who fled the communist regime of uh Fidel Castro.
• 27:44
  And today is the day that our airlifts began.
• 27:47
  It's a history class today.
• 27:49
  We began airlifting refugees out of Cuba who were attempting to flee the Castro regime because they expropriated the land, which is a nice polite way of saying they stole it.
• 28:04
  They took possession of it.
• 28:08
  Uh, and they they robbed from Cuban farmers and from uh entrepreneurs their livelihood, stole their possessions.
• 28:19
  So millions had to flee with nothing but the clothes on their back.
• 28:25
  And just start all over.
• 28:27
  They had to begin anew.
• 28:30
  The resolution further notes that the implementation of socialism in Venezuela has turned a once prosperous country into a failed state with the highest rate of inflation in the world.
• 28:43
  Venezuela used to be amazing, used to be beautiful, used to the oil that came out of there, and you had uh two socialist dictators go in there and just suck it dry.
• 28:58
  Just suck it dry.
• 29:01
  So the the resolution uh also quotes uh two former presidents.
• 29:10
  And uh they're not the presidents who who you'd think they'd quote.
• 29:13
  I mean, you'd think they might quote um, I don't know, maybe Reagan.
• 29:18
  Uh maybe Eisenhower.
• 29:21
  No, that they quote Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.
• 29:24
  Listen to what listen to what Jefferson says here in this in this resolution quote.
• 29:30
  Jefferson says to take from one, because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much in order to spare to others who or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, which is the guarantee to everyone of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
• 29:58
  This is one of the first.
• 30:00
  Principles that people should be guaranteed the freedom to work and the freedom to keep their labors.
• 30:07
  It's what he's saying.
• 30:09
  You should keep the fruit of your labors.
• 30:12
  You should get to keep what you earn.
• 30:14
  You should get to do what you want to do, do what you love to do, make a living at it, and you should be able to keep that living.
• 30:24
  The fruits of your labor should be yours and none other.
• 30:28
  Here's what Madison said.
• 30:32
  Um is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest.
• 30:51
  Bum bum bum.
• 30:54
  Did you know that Madison and Jefferson were adamant against the evils of communism and the evils of socialism.
• 31:04
  I don't know that it was called that then.
• 31:07
  I mean, it doesn't, you know, I don't think it gets that name until Marx comes along.
• 31:12
  But these two are adamant about it.
• 31:14
  They they understand the detriment that it brings, they understand the detriment that this philosophy would bring upon humanity.
• 31:25
  And but our kids don't know that because they're not taught that.
• 31:31
  You can't blame them.
• 31:32
  You can't.
• 31:41
  And then you have to fault the parents who have kept kids in that system and allowed them to be taught that.
• 31:47
  I know it's it's heartless to blame the parents here, but um, you know, they they have some accountability.
• 31:55
  Finally, the measure states that the United States was founded on the belief and the sanctity of the individual, to which the collectivistic system of socialism in all of its forms is fundamentally and necessarily opposed.
• 32:11
  And this is where our public education system where we see it's been overrun.
• 32:20
  Because Dewey and Horace Mann and the others who really commandeered our public education system, believed in collectivism.
• 32:28
  They believed in the collectivistic system of socialism, and they understood it was fundamentally and necessarily opposed to uh what the United States was founded on.
• 32:41
  They understood it was opposed to individualism, but they disagreed with individualism.
• 32:47
  They they they approached it in the light that individualism was being selfish, and we shouldn't be selfish, we should give to our fellow man socialism is the answer.
• 33:01
  Uh, but in this case, individualism is not selfish, it's not selfish to look to yourself, it's not selfish to want to strengthen yourself to better yourself, to educate yourself.
• 33:18
  None of that is selfishness, selfishness is an attitude, it's it's simply an attitude.
• 33:26
  It's selfish to go to the bank and rush up to the door ahead of you know an elderly couple and then you know, get in ahead of them and then not hold the door open for them just so you can be you know first in line or whatever.
• 33:42
  That's selfish.
• 33:44
  It's not selfish to go to work every day and think of yourself and think of how you can make a living.
• 33:49
  Think of how you can support your family.
• 33:52
  Think of how you can better yourself, get a good education.
• 33:56
  Think how think how you can better yourself mentally, go work out, think how you can better yourself physically, uh, be pleasant to people.
• 34:04
  Think how you can better yourself socially.
• 34:06
  This isn't selfishness.
• 34:09
  Um, and it it's it means that we are in a better position to help others when they need it.
• 34:16
  I mean, my parents were in a position to help this family from Cambodia because they needed it.
• 34:22
  Uh and they were in that position because they helped themselves, they took care of themselves, they took care of their family, and therefore they were able to help another family in need, uh, who were who were fleeing, specifically fleeing the atrocities of socialism, of communism.
• 34:48
  Um it's not selfish to look after yourself.
• 34:54
  Um and so that's that's where we've that's where we've gone wrong, and that we allowed the likes of Horace Mann and Dewey to come into our our education system and and remove from it, strip from it, mine from it, the the virtues, the values, the religion and the morality that once made our system that once made our education system best in the world, absolutely best in the world.
• 35:26
  And I I mean, I've got another article here, which I'm I'm waiting to get to.
• 35:31
  I don't know that I'll get to it today, but eventually, you know, maybe tomorrow.
• 35:35
  Um, and the headline is that after bad uh publicity from the latest national report card, uh academic and scholastic experts from the mathematic realm said change is needed and fast.
• 35:50
  You think it's another they're grappling with ways on how they can improve the nation's plummeting math scores, math scores which used to be best in the world, and they're not best in the world anymore, and they haven't been best in the world for a long time, and it's it's my theory, it's my philosophy that they're not and no longer our best in the world because what made our education system so great has been removed, and that was our uh the the virtues and the values in the system of of morality that was the undergirding of our entire system.
• 36:33
  You're gonna grapple all day long with how you can make math scores better, and it's not gonna happen, it's not gonna happen until you reinstitute uh values, virtues, and morality and public education, you're not gonna see any scores improve.
• 36:54
  Uh you can look at the numbers.
• 36:56
  Matter of fact, I've got the charts on my Instagram, the Dean's List 33.
• 37:00
  Go to my Instagram right now, scroll down to the bottom.
• 37:03
  It might be one of the first things I've posted there.
• 37:05
  I don't post a lot on Instagram, so there's not a lot there.
• 37:09
  So it won't take you a minute to find it.
• 37:13
  And you can see after 6263, these charts were put together by by wall builders.
• 37:19
  David Barton and his group over there did the did the heavy lifting on this research, and they discovered after 6263, the SAT scores begin to plummet, and they went into a decades-long free fall, more than a decade, to the point now where our education system rearranges how they how they assess those scores.
• 37:45
  They they change things in the early 90s.
• 37:48
  If you go, we've talked about this here.
• 37:50
  If you go to the nation's report card, go to the website.
• 37:54
  Their scores only date back to the early 90s, 1990s.
• 37:57
  Well, why don't they go back to the 1960s?
• 37:59
  Well, because they they changed things.
• 38:01
  We had to we had to redo how we assess these scores.
• 38:06
  Um, they had to redo how they assess the scores because Barton and Wall builders showed based on the data that the scores were in a free fall when the Bible and prayer, religion and morality, values and virtues were kicked out of public schools.
• 38:28
  Um, that's it.
• 38:30
  That's the answer.
• 38:31
  That's what made us great in our education system.
• 38:35
  And uh that's why we're no longer great.
• 38:39
  And that was able to happen, by the way.
• 38:41
  That was able to happen because of a collectivistic leaning brought to you by Horace Mann and Dewey to they primed the pumps, they softened the foundation.
• 38:53
  Um we the Marxists were able to usher out of our public education system, prayer in the Bible, because of what Dewey and and Mann had accomplished.
• 39:11
  They had completely softened the system.
• 39:13
  All right, look, I didn't mean today to to dive into all of that, but I I think it's it's apropos that we are celebrating the airlift, the beginning of the airlift, bringing thousands of Cubans fleeing Castro's communism to the United States.
• 39:29
  We we we brought him here to safety.
• 39:32
  And um, today's the day, and this uh daughter of a of a Cuban refugee, representative Maria Elvira Salazar, along with 63 co sponsors, by the way.
• 39:45
  She is the one who uh who introduced this resolution uh resolution denouncing the horrors of socialism.
• 39:53
  We need more of this, by the way.
• 39:55
  We need more of these resolutions happening in in Congress.
• 40:00
  On all fronts.
• 40:00
  They should be happening in the in the state houses in every every state in the union.
• 40:05
  All right.
• 40:05
  My friends, we're going to dive into more history class on the other side of this break.
• 40:09

• 43:59
  It'll uh you may be pleasantly surprised.
• 44:02
  I'll leave it at that.
• 44:03
  Okay.
• 44:05
  So um history class, there is another little little element of history that I I wanted to touch on today that ties into this discussion of of communism overrunning the globe, as it were, and the fact that that today's an anniversary of 1965, or the airlift began, where we begin to to lift uh cubans from the island and bring them to America because the island was being overrun by by communists.
• 44:37
  There was another little history class today that ties into that.
• 44:40
  Today is um today's the day that Thomas Edison's film company released the Great Train Rab robbery, which was indeed the first Western movie.
• 44:53
  Now, how does that how does that tie in?
• 44:57
  Well, it ties in because Thomas Edison had a film company, and it was his.
• 45:08
  That uh in this quote here in this this house resolution, Jefferson said to take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much in order to spare to others who or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, which is the guarantee to everyone of a free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
• 45:36
  And here Edison uh a film company, Edison, the greatest inventor to perhaps.
• 45:45
  I mean, he he's he's been called that the greatest inventor of all time.
• 45:50
  Um, if communism had fallen on America, the way it had fallen on other countries, if if communism had succeeded here in the early 1900s, uh, think of all the things that that we would not have because they would have destroyed the film industry.
• 46:10
  Think of the film industry.
• 46:12
  We have Edison to think for it, by the way.
• 46:15
  Think of think of how the film industry has produced an untold amount of wealth for individuals, and I'm not just talking about the movie stars.
• 46:28
  I mean, every and every person involved on the movie set is making decent money, and some are making fantastic money.
• 46:41
  And it's because here in America, Thomas Edison had the liberty to pursue this.
• 46:49
  Uh Thomas Edison, born in 1847, born at a time where um these ideas of Marxism were just beginning to take root in other places.
• 47:02
  But he's born in Milan, Ohio.
• 47:05
  And his his birth, his life, his it's the stuff that that dreams are made of, ultimately.
• 47:14
  I mean, just let's just consider his story for a minute.
• 47:18
  He dropped out of high school as an elementary student when his teacher told his mom that he was adult.
• 47:26
  And if you don't know what adult means, look it up.
• 47:30
  A D D L E D, adult.
• 47:33
  Uh so his mother was like, okay, all right.
• 47:36
  You think little Tommy's adult?
• 47:38
  That's fine.
• 47:38
  I'm gonna I'm gonna bring him home.
• 47:40
  He's not gonna be into your tutelage anymore.
• 47:42
  He's not gonna be under the tutelage of somebody who's going to speak such negativity into his young heart and mind.
• 47:49
  I'm gonna homeschool him.
• 47:50
  She did.
• 47:51
  She brought him home.
• 47:53
  And it was there that she let him set up a chemical laboratory in the basement.
• 47:57
  And soon he was on his way to becoming the greatest inventor the world had ever known.
• 48:02
  Because his mom homeschooled him.
• 48:05
  Because his mom said, You're not gonna tell my son he's addled.
• 48:09
  I'm gonna speak positivity into him.
• 48:12
  I'm going to encourage him.
• 48:13
  I'm gonna watch his little brain and little heart, little mind flourish.
• 48:19
  So, as a young man, Edison built an invention factory in in New Jersey.
• 48:25
  Uh, it became America's first research laboratory for industry.
• 48:29
  Uh, he amazed a group of onlookers one day when he recited Mary had a little lamb into a device, and then he turned to this crank, and all of a sudden, his voice came back out.
• 48:42
  And people were like, what kind of wizardry is this?
• 48:46
  What what magic?
• 48:48
  You you you speak Mary had a little lamb into this little device, and then you turn the crank and your voice comes back.
• 48:55
  How is this possible?
• 48:57
  I mean, it was blowing people's minds left and right, the things that Edison was discovering, the things he was inventing.
• 49:05
  He had invented the first phonograph, the first machine for recording sounds.
• 49:10
  How do you even do that?
• 49:12
  Well, what that had never been done before.
• 49:15
  How do you how do you invent something that's gonna record your voice and it's never been done before?
• 49:20
  How do you even have this idea?
• 49:22
  Oh, gee, I think I can uh I can speak into something and have it spit it back.
• 49:28
  And and and yet be addled.
• 49:32
  Um just phenomenal.
• 49:35
  On October 21st, 1879.
• 49:38
  He gave the world the invention for which he's best known.
• 49:42
  That would be the electric light bulb.
• 49:44
  Edison worked 18 hours a day.
• 49:47
  He never feared failure.
• 49:50
  Uh, but once he conducted this experiment, uh, after experiment after experiment, without getting the results he needed.
• 49:56
  This is this is a famous um famous.
• 50:00
  Story here about Edison.
• 50:02
  And a friend said he was sorry that the test continued to fail.
• 50:08
  And here's here's Edison's exact quote.
• 50:10
  He said, Shucks, we haven't failed.
• 50:13
  Now we know a thousand things that won't work.
• 50:15
  So we're that much closer to finding what will.
• 50:19
  Bosh shucks, we haven't failed, he said.
• 50:22
  We're just that much closer.
• 50:24
  I mean, that's an attitude right there.
• 50:27
  Do you think that attitude exists if if if communism has running the day?
• 50:34
  Do you think that attitude is allowed to exist in socialist countries?
• 50:39
  Do you think the people in North Korea are able to maintain that attitude?
• 50:44
  No, no, they're not.
• 50:46
  Nope.
• 50:47
  Do you think the people in Cuba are able to maintain that attitude?
• 50:53
  The people in current day Venice Venezuela.
• 50:56
  Do you think they're able to maintain that attitude?
• 50:59
  I mean, the answer is no.
• 51:01
  You think they're able to maintain that attitude in China?
• 51:05
  No, they're not.
• 51:06
  They don't get that, they don't have that luxury.
• 51:09
  That attitude is not prevalent.
• 51:12
  They're beat down.
• 51:13
  They're stomped on with the boot.
• 51:17
  And what they earn goes to goes to the leader at the top.
• 51:20
  They don't get to keep what they earn.
• 51:23
  And don't you know there are people who would love to have that system here.
• 51:27
  I mean, one of them was just elected mayor of New York.
• 51:30
  Would love to have that system here.
• 51:32
  Would love to make um groceries free, grocery stores run by the government, bus fare free.
• 51:40
  You just get on the bus whenever you want.
• 51:41
  Love to love to just give, give, give, give, give.
• 51:44
  Give it away, give it away.
• 51:45
  People are going to love you, and the masses are going to worship you, and they're going to be like, yeah, we get all these freebies until they realize the freebies run out.
• 51:54
  And now they've got to go work.
• 51:56
  So the man at the top can have what he has.
• 52:02
  Uh one night in 1914.
• 52:04
  A fire destroyed Edison's factories in West Orange, New Jersey.
• 52:10
  At the time he was 67 years old.
• 52:13
  And he didn't, he didn't bemoan his fate.
• 52:18
  He didn't say, Well, there goes my life, work, gone, gone in a fire.
• 52:23
  His his exact quote is, we'll build bigger and better on the ruins.
• 52:29
  And he did.
• 52:29
  He did.
• 52:30
  He built bigger and he built better on the ruins of that burned down factory.
• 52:35
  Thomas Edison patented more than 1,000 inventions.
• 52:39
  He created new kinds of batteries.
• 52:41
  He improved the telephone.
• 52:43
  He invented a motion picture machine.
• 52:45
  He helped found one of America's most famous industries, the motion pictures.
• 52:52
  Throughout his long career, Edison always insisted that hard work was the main reason for his success.
• 52:59
  He said, Genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration.
• 53:05
  Americans have built a great nation by following that rule.
• 53:09
  Because we work and we get to keep the fruits of our labor.
• 53:15
  And communism is set out to destroy that.
• 53:19
  Communism is set out to do the opposite.
• 53:23
  And not only in America do we work and get to keep the fruits of our labor, but we have this opportunity to invent new ideas, new things, new dreams, new.
• 53:36
  I mean, you know, we could go down the list of the inventions that are born from this country.
• 53:44
  And they're profound.
• 53:47
  And what has allowed those inventions to be born is the inalienable right of liberty.
• 53:55
  You have an in an inalienable right that gives you the opportunity.
• 54:06
  The pursuit of happiness.
• 54:11
  Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
• 54:14
  You have a life with purpose.
• 54:17
  You have liberty, which gives you the opportunity to think through dreams and goals and plans and inventions, and then you have the right to pursue it, to go after it, to build it.
• 54:33
  And it's all here.
• 54:40
  This would not exist.
• 54:42
  This opportunity would not exist.
• 54:46
  Time's winding down.
• 54:48
  But there's there's one more history class today.
• 54:50
  We're not going to get to all of it, but I mean, today's the day that Abraham Lincoln, 1862, I mentioned this a couple segments ago, that he offered somewhat of a state of state of the union address, but it was in written form.
• 55:05
  Uh here it was, you know, the nation had been torn and tuned by the civil war.
• 55:11
  The outcome at this point in time, nobody could predict.
• 55:14
  And Abraham Lincoln was about to sign the emancipation proclamation, and he wasn't even sure of what its effects would be.
• 55:22
  On December 1st, 1862.
• 55:28
  Lincoln uh described us as the last best hope of Earth.
• 55:34
  That's how he described America.
• 55:37
  Um we shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.
• 55:43
  Other means may succeed, he said.
• 55:46
  This could not fail.
• 55:47
  The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.
• 55:56
  The last best hope of earth.
• 55:58
  This is his State of the Union address in written form.
• 56:03
  You can pull it up, you can go online and read it.
• 56:05
  I encourage you to do it.
• 56:07
  It's not very long.
• 56:09
  Um the fact that he prophetically calls America the last best hope of earth is in and of itself profound.
• 56:20
  Because here we see, you know, years later, decades later, uh inventions, inventions upon inventions upon inventions, making not only this country better, but the world better.
• 56:33
