american philosophy, the american culture and american history. and then you address each one how each are being undermine and eviscerated as a matter of fact. what you see going on in this country today what you've seen going on, the looting, arson black lives matter, and antifa, the democrat party pretty much embracing this and embracing bernie sanders agenda. immediate that is utterly corrupt gives voice to this and is really in so many respects propaganda machine. you kind of saw this coming, didn't you isn't that the point of the book? >> yeah it really is, and when i wrote the book back in december, january, i figured that it would be relevant before election and covid happened i thought irrelevant before the election and last eight weeks have happened the break down and mental break down of the country and i realize how relevant the book was and fact is what we've seen over last several weeks is full flowering of ideology of this integrationism for
4:02 pm
university through major cultural institutions, for years and just sort of broke out into the open over the last couple of months. that really two conflicting visions been at war one is vision of america and american history is a story of america's beautiful and wonderful internally true founding ideal and america failing stumbling fumbling and succeeding and america that is founded on basic notions in the declaration of independence to bring about unprecedented prosperity and freedom for not just millions of people in america but billions of people over time and around the world. and american philosophy that is beautiful in its essence all about freedom and culture that values rights and in which all of our debates take place on this moral basis that rights preexist government that was the original vision of america. that is what i call the juneist vision of america that holds us together and any country that holds together has to share a history they have to share a culture and they have to share a philosophy and then there's a second strain this is what is running through our politics right now. a strain i call integrationism
4:03 pm
the idea that america has never any tide that binds us and up with group with another over the head and american philosophy is a pasteboard mask and really what sses covering up for is hierarchy of power brutal dynamic and culture of rights is a i lean a rights ought to be thrown out in favor of an orthodoxy that rules about and tells you how you ought to think and comes from fruition to 1619 project. i really didn't think it would burst like a overriped cantaloupe but that's exactly what's happened. mark: why do you think it has burst into the open so suddenly. is it organizations kind of poised to leap should the occasion arise, or what do you think the reason is for that? >> i think a lot of it does have to do with the fact that president trump exists. that i think that he provides point of commonality in which no matter how radically left you go you find alleys in the old -- fumbling apart liberal school who will side with you just to
4:04 pm
get rid of trump. i think what the real story of what's happening here, is not even right versus left but radical left versus everybody else and you see this in the harper weekly letter published d with 153 essential left academic say you're going too far and cancel curlture is really ugly you're seeing battle that's breaking out inside the democratic party between nancy pelosi who is now quote unquote moderate who is radically left and people like omar and you're seeing who is winning that battle. and that movement has been moving along for quite a while there was a kind of old idea i think from the -- from the quote unquote moderate levels that passion and the ideologically top down stuff you were seeing on college campuses microaggression cancel culture all of that could go away once leftist reach hall of tower turns out they were there and when they entered halls of power they decide to just uproot all of the systems and and take it over this is the french revolution in real time without the actual physical deity. >> you say that the president sort of has a focus the
4:05 pm
attention of the radical left and so many of these movements, and he so deeply hated you know i think he's so deeply hated he was deeply hated the moment he announce he was going to run for president before he did a single thing. and then he defeats hillary clinton. aren't they furious because they thought they were going to get a third term of obama well on their way to this counterrevolution isn't that in part while since day one they've sought to undermine candidacy. you've got all of the russia collusion stuff. you have, you have a failed impeachment effort you have criminal investigations they come up empty, empty, empty, empty, and they're still at it because he stands in their way. no? >> that's exactly right. what people on the left fail to recognize the reason so many people on right support trump isn't because of that but they see trump as literally only dam that is holding back the encroaching tide. and i think that, you know, they understand that too actually on a deeper level.
4:06 pm
i think that the kind of obama left never going to lose again there was a new coalition forged a new coalition of dispossess to mobilize against america systems. of oppression, and then trump kind of steps in and he beats hillary clinton who was designated the successor and suddenly they realize that wait a minute, maybe we don't have the overwhelming majority we thought we did. and they've reacted with viciousness they've reacted with -- with cruelty. with malice and the fact that president trump campaign on the basic idea of make america again encounter from left was not that president trump wasn't capable of making america great again or anything. they're counter was america was never great that was divide in essence happening back in 2016 just that nobody really recognized i think on the traditionally liberal left recognized that when they said, america was never great that was going to become the mainstream slogan of the democratic party that america was never great not only that but america doesn't have capacity to be great because america systems are inherently shot through with evil and america wasn't found in
4:07 pm
1776 but 1619 as pulitzer prize winner as nicole said. >> the focus how to destroy america in three easy steps. i want to ask you a question about this shapiro do you think we've reached a point where the majority of americanings are open to the ideas that you're hearing from aoc and bernie sanders and so forth or do you just think it is a very loud well organized and in some cases very violent minority? >> so i think it's some of both. i think there's this very well organized very loud minority. but they're given a loud speak earn bull horn by the people in the mainstream media editor of "new york times" are, obviously, working for the radicals. and in the staff at the "new york times" right doesn't run nicole hannah jones runs when you look at this point and hollywood, obviously, run by people who are open to the sort of you point 20 years, 30 years ago making good will hunting in the picture. so there's always been this sort
4:08 pm
of steady encroachment and real story of last year or so, in american politics is the number of people who have been into silence this is why cancel culture we're seeing and why cancel culture has become so dangerous. cancelation isn't about them coming after you mark which they have or me. it is about them coming after people who don't have capacity to defend themselves right you have a platform i have a platform i can refuse to be canceled but there are tens of millions of americans who cannot refuse to be canceled who live in fear of being canceled for simply expressing yeah i voted for trump or considering the possibility of voting for president trump. that is a cancelable offense in left world and working at a corporation you may find yourself on bred line in one of the worst economic downturn especially for expressing a view point that's what the cancel culture is all about. and so i think a lot of people have been cowed into silence by being called racist for doing nothing racist and left is openly and, obviously, redefine the term racist so mean you are part of the american system, i mean, they'll say this openly. rob opinion deangelo white
4:09 pm
fragility nonsense only antiracist if you fight the american system and openly to disi thinkand ties never exister never should exist this is a recipe for country falling apart. i think frankly that the choice that many in the left want to put to americans is either the left completely dominates, and we stay together. or it falls apart there's no third way where we have check and balances that founders thought were useful and enumerated powers all of that has to go out the window because we have a cast orthodoxy priesthood and they know what is right. they know what is true and they know that you and system are racist anne cram it down with you and cultural or governmental. mark: following up on that point and raises another question to me -- how do conservatives or -- anti-the sort of american style marxist how do we respond and talk about limited government
4:10 pm
and federalism and so forth. but into firewalls have been breached by the courts and been breached by the academia this force out there. this statism, do we the people who love this country revere its founding embrace it do we need toll come up with new ways to battle these enemy i suppose we do don't we? >> i don't think there's any question about it. i think that great flaw of the political right is that we see that culture and we focus in on the politics. so the right is actually very good at winning elections with several republican president ncial the lifetime dominated congress from 1994 to 2006 and again from 2010 to 2018. and it didn't matter. left continued to shift the very nature of the deck. it is not about winning elections. it is about winning the culture and right did not engage in education system and sort of let it go. we didn't engage in culture making and hollywood. we just kind of let it go. we set up alternative media structures outside the mainstream media that's been the
4:11 pm
most successful part of what the right has done. but now that the left is trying in fashion to shut down all possibility of social media even districting those messages. so the right has to understand that this is indeed more a culture war than it is a political war. it is why of the three elements i talk about philosophy history and culture i think most important is a sense that we share a cultural i don't mean we watch same football game or patronize same store but we have to have the same moral conversation about rightsening that's where americans still be heard. that i think even the movements from left has been most wildly successful couched many times dishonestly in terms of rights but i think the political right in the country does have a monopoly on vision of what rights constitute. ting that's a great vision and appealing one. whnch we come back ben shapiro i want to the ask you this, if you people embrace liberty is a puzzle that humanity has faced that liberty also gives the opportunity for evil to exist

4:16 pm
to destroy america in three easy steps. it is very poignant, and it is very oppression and timely ben shapiro. so here's my question to you. liberty is a wonderful thing. means different they thinks to different people i won't get into positive, regular, it is liberty. when you see what's going on on the streets today the very people who attack the founding fathers, and the constitution are exercising the rights under the bill of rights. so some of them were slave holders. some of them weren't slave holder you know when they ratify first ten amendment that include southern states so you have their freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of the association, due process, the right to bear arms. you know. and so forth and so on. so people are exercising these rights under the bill of rightings. but they got from men who were slave holders and men who weren't slave holders trying to destroy the country from within. how do we explain this?
4:17 pm
how do we deal with this? >> i think one of the things that is happened is that i guess mark you and i we're all lucky we live in first generation of truly good people. we live in a generation of people who have a free floating morality they've come up with just out of the sunlight, and if you plop them down in 18 50 and they were from alabama they, obviously, would have been antislavery everyone qowld have been antislavery. they would have been in favor of gay marriage in 1772 these are people who have a morality that is constructed out of their own heads and so beautiful. they fail to recognize, of course, that every single moral value they hold is indicative of moral systems that came before them that they actually stand on should percent of giants instead they claim to be citizen of the world. and their own moral creators, and not only that they are the saints in their own moral paradigm that means everybody sells sinner or heretic and recognizing you have gifts from people who live in the past living life and came from a culture that is very different
4:18 pm
from or why own recognizing context of history is very important but we've been told by our moral betters at the "new york times" that recognizing context of history is irrelevant. and that instead because we have now the great moral vision we can cram that down, however, we choose it is incredibly dangerous, obviously, that the fact there's so many who preserve to be so righteous to tear down a state of george washington claim themselves more vir chowous than george washington and something good for the country by doing so and despicable and fails to recognize greatness of america. greatst of the foundationing system is that human nature exist human sin exist, people are venal people can be corrupt and evil. the virtue of the founding system is that allow people to move beyond that. to check and balance one another and to provide a system to make human beings value other things. that we can move beyond problems and look behind and we think that's unthinkable. the framework allow all of that to happen to fail to recognize that is height of arrogance that
4:19 pm
is despicable. mark: and failure to recognize like black lives matter and their self-profess tie to anti-pa and progressivism is the child of marxism and american style in many ways, it is amazing to me their virtue signaling they claim tore more moral than founders when they embrace ideology that is responsible for death of 100 million human beings god knows about torture and enslavement and none of these societies that give birth to marxism give birth to marxism by choice it is who are risk violence it is destroying the society which is what mark says may the period of december patism yet these people claim to have as you point out higher moral road and they ignore hundred, 120 years of history of marxism. how do you explain that? >> i think it is easy to be in
4:20 pm
the view of history and this is what you see so much from the 1619 project when you focus on problem of americas they're not hard to find and any system overtime it is only when you contrast america with every place else you realize that what makes america great is what makes america unique. so what people are on the left have a tendency to do is attribute every worldwide problem to america while taking all of the things that are exceptional about america saying well those are exceptional to america meaning exception to american rule let's say things like american slavery is unique blot only world history opposed to part of the great chain and evil chain of history that exist in every society. i mean slavery exist in all society and american slavery was different in all evil in a way that other slavery was not. this is sort of a line. again, american slavery is defuel as evil can be. just like other slavery as evil can be but eferl that is universally bad is bad to america and universally good about america and good about america can be attributable to
4:21 pm
humanity more broadly when man puts on the moon it is achievement of humanity when america participates in slavery historically that is not a cruelty in savagery that is universal across time and space until basically the end of the 18th century. that is -- that is instead unique evil to america. and when people are that dishonest you have to assume they have another agenda which, of course, they do and that is to tear down the system entirely. i mean, row really see this mostly in the how to be antiracist kind of philosophy that you see from robyn deangelo and kennedy their suggestion is race ismg must be redefine race schism no longer. you believe in inferiority based on a group characterize. you are complicit in any system that produces inequality which is a marxist premise because premise is that the true goodness would be a system that produces equal results regardless of personal choice. and any system that does not, produce that is, obviously, not
4:22 pm
only evil. but racist and it is inception this is become an article of fate in diverse training economy and faith of the hall and media and marxist premise to create not equality of right. before the law, not even equality of opportunity. but equality of outcome and in a system doesn't create that then it is racist and bad. that's a marxist premise from start to finish. mark: when we return i want to address moving from ideology to reality. talk a good game the hard left. they create this notion of ewe pope ya or paradise, and legaltarianism. marks withering away the state and we're all be wonderful that never happens and humanity withers away around the marxist and left regime. but i want to talk about these areas in our own country where these experiments are taking place. we call them mostly inner cities. what kind of equality do we have?
4:23 pm
what kind of opportunity is there? do we ever talk about individualism and individual liberty and the free well and competition. what is going on in these democrat control cities where the my words not yours with the american marxist model or statism cor progressivism or whatever we want to call it is actually being instituted under one party rule? we'll be right back. okay... okay! safe drivers save 40%!!! guys! guys! check it out. safe drivers save 40%!!! safe drivers save 40%! safe drivers save 40%!!! that's safe drivers save 40%. it is, that's safe drivers save 40%. - he's right there. - it's him! he's here. he's right here. - hi! - hi. hey! - that's totally him. - it's him! that's totally the guy. safe drivers do save 40%. click or call for a quote today. - i'm szasz. safe drivers do save 40%.

♪ welcome back ben shapiro, oustanding book how to destroy america three easy steps it could not be more timely. so my question to you was reality versus ideology. so how are these soft marxist progressive status one party rule cities how are they doing when it comes so individual liberty and choice, and equality and well creation. that as a matter of fact paradises they keep talking about. >> they're doibl horribly the fact is when this integration is take over an area it isn't about building anything new and failure is the goal. you actually want things to fail because any success is going to be attributed to broader american system. and broader american system is bad so what you want is more unsuccess you want people who aren't getting jobs and more inequality and crime occurs that is a good case to be made that entire system is to blame this is one of the beautiful things about living in somebody else's system anything that is bad that happened can be blamed on is
4:29 pm
system at large and this is exactly what you're seeing in manual and put out a full on gley this week that's suggested that whiteness was things like scientific method like hard work, like the way gratification basically saying anything that can make you achieve in the society is a white thing you shouldn't pen gauge in it. if you do you're part of the qhiet supremacist system so they're actively proet mog failure and actively trying to teach all of the things that would make you fail in life. and teaching this as resistance tots system so success is not a bromtefe for folks and goal is really disintegration achievement is the enemy. >> because you're in a constant state of rebellion. right if you don't have a constant state of rebellion you don't have a reason to exist i suppose that's the bottom line isn't it? >> that's right and "new york times" column whois compare
4:30 pm
america to a house that was built on shaky foundation and said well here we are trying to repaint whitewash of the house and fix up hole in the wall but foundations are shaky. point they're being at any attempt to fix anything in america is a solution and real solution is just rooting out the entire system. so failure is by democrats in inner cities those are things that can be attributed to border american system and we're trying our best but working within a corrupt and horrible system and never overcome the corruption and evil of the system. in order to make lives better so failure actually becomes a point in favor of destroying system that they themselves are fighting against. >> they destroy system that destroys neighborhood, destroys education. destroys the economy, and then they blame it on the system and many respects they are the system. certainly sense the new deal and many respects the some you have cities run by people who are running against the system as they own and control the system.
4:31 pm
and snts the way to do that is an example. to use racism. but for racism, things would be swell. isn't that so harmful to the individuals in the inner city so you have this opposition to school choice whether it is charter schools or vow voucher whatever it is and they get in bed with each other whether they're elected democrats or whether they're running teachers union. so there's a great contradiction here isn't there? >> there is no worse message to propagate to all child than the idea that it is now in all of the halls of power that you're black in america you cannot succeed it doesn't matter what choices you make you will not succeed because it is stacked against you teach a child you're damming that child to a life of difficult tear, and bad decision making and leaning cause and effect and you live outside of that system. you're not in control of your own life that makes a lot of white wolf liberals feel really good about themselveses particular kind of self-righteousness that attaches
4:32 pm
here where white liberals because black people in america according to the white woke they don't have agency in their own lives. the only people who have agency are paternalistic people building something new on the wreckage. >> i want to ask you about "new york times" been a lot about new york time this is past week with barry and remarkable letter from the inside what she saw she was there for three years how corrupt it is in every respect intellectually and otherwise "new york times" has are a history of this "new york times" was mouthpiece for stalin in 2002 and throughout the early stalinist period through walter and lied about the slaughter of the ukrainians. less than a decade later "new york times" was censoring holocaust at part of the franklin roosevelt administration but push back to back pages so two horrific genocides in world history and
4:33 pm
propaganda for stalin and involved in tensorship any other corporation in america qowb viewed as a failed corporation utterly completely unreliable and here the "new york times" said to be the gold standard for the media. isn't that the problem it is the gold standard for the media. >> i mean that's exactly right and what's more amazing is those were good old days right now staffers run "new york times" this is perfectly clear from full disclosure on friends with barry fact that editors were allowing staffers to attack the only fellow staffer who is willing to give a hearing to points of view that were outside of the -- wild leftism of the "new york times" pretty incredible. "new york times" basically handed over editorship to nicole hannah jones head of the 1916 project now rules roost over there and 1619 project is piece of sued history defined to paipght america in worst possible way and nicole hannah jones suggest in a column that
4:34 pm
riots happening across country are 1619 riots because they're tearing down statue of the founders that are suggesting that you see at the bad guy, and nicole hannah jones tweeted back that she was proud that which gives game away. and fact is when narrative trumping fact and walter was the bad guy but to "new york times" he has his pulitzer and nicole hannah jones has pulitzer not much comes when trumping the fact. mark: as a matter of fact as "new york times" and nicole hannah jones and others were to apply their own standard to the "new york times," mike fell goodwin point of pointed out ink post this past week has a very strong history of racism and strong history connection to slavery at least part of the family did. we would have to burn down "the new york times" building wouldn't we based on their own based on their own violent ideological consistency so it is a difficult thing. we'll be right back. ♪

ben shapiro how to destroy america in three easy steps is great new book which will be out this coming tuesday. you can get on amazon.com. you know, it seems to me ben shapiro that any nation that continues to focus on its imperfections or its past failures is a nation that is doomed. any nation that does not accept the fact that this t there's been enormous progress in our case enormous progress, a massive civil war, civil rights laws, civil rights battles, court decisions, and the society that struggled with this issue of slavery and segregation, and is really wrestled it to the ground. any nation that doesn't accept that and doesn't show allegiance to its principles is a nation
4:40 pm
that cannot survive am i wrong? >> that's exactly right this is what you see in so many of the columns you'll see this sort of trick that is being done. where they will mention something horrible and evil that happened in 1890 and fast forward and say it is like that with michael brown or just like that with trayvon and you can see the trick being played like we're going skip parts of the history to correct itself based on powngtding principle, in fact, there's a movement afoot to suggest that said that constitution of declaration that these documents are documents. that res evil and cocollision of fought on slavery unbacked by any evidence that pulitzer prize winning historian said there's no evidence to back at all. so that very basic notion, that america is founding principles are to blame for all of the bad things that have happened in american life it is truly despicable untrue and not only
4:41 pm
is it despicable and untrue but cuts against the idea of progress. progress we've made many this country is based on civil rights leaders who are making an appeal to exactly the founding principle it is that the woke left now decries you readest from rick douglas inkretdably edgy speech about july 24th suffered more than any of the black americans who are countrily living today they haven't suffered as slaves. makes speech he says listen, independence say is your independence day but not ours and should be and universal principles extend to us what mlk says to make the claim on promissory note let us cash the check that appeal to fundamental principle root in declaration and all progress made in the united states on rase is rooted in fund mental principle not on basis of competing hierarchy of power and clubbing about the ears. j isn't that why progressivism is so evil 100 years progressive
4:42 pm
intellectuals john and others specifically attacked the declaration of independence. they attack it as very interesting, you know, very dated. ignore the first part of the declaration go to the points where they keep raising concerns with the king and we're not bound by that anymore. and same with the constitution and so forth and so, and the declaration of independence represents what? >> represents western and enlightment represents principle represents all that's good with mankind they do that don't they because they want the world to begin today with social engineers social activism and you have to cut that which binds us with the past. >> that's exactly right you have to burn everything down before you can build anything anew and don't care what's built in the weak and problems are attributable to the system and it is funny historically speaking there's presence dense to declaration of independence that lies with people like john
4:43 pm
c. calhoun who argued that declaration of independence meant nothing. but declaration of independence was high principle that really was meaning leanings not part of american history it was just an excuse to for dominant power to be reestablished. ironically enough it is precisely woke left. that is now mirroring exactly that sort of language about the declaration of independence it is not any sort of coincidence that calhoun was qowld have been somebody in favor of the civil war and country, and same people today attacking declaration attacking glue that binds us together and that glue and when that whats we're going fall apart. mark: when we come back there's something about the democrat party. the party of the slavery and party so long of segregation, the party who certain members gave birth to clan and party that now stands for what i call again model of statism sr.

progressivism but never seems to stand for americanism. i want to ask you about this when we come back. we'll be right back. i'm a performer. -always have been. -and always will be. never letting anything get in my way. not the doubts, distractions, or voice in my head. and certainly not arthritis. new voltaren provides powerful arthritis pain relief to help me keep moving. and it can help you too. feel the joy of movement with voltaren.
4:48 pm
mark: welcome back i'm here with ben shapiro, and great new book how to destroy america and three easy steps. we're working our way through what's going on today which is covered in a very interintaying embracing way in this book. so ben my question about the democrat party, the democrat party through its history has been more let me put this this way. last proamericanism than anti-americanism. am i right about that? >> historically speaking that's certainly the case and you can see it probably most not even in the civil war period when the democratic party was part of the confederacy that's strong stuff and modern iteration that begins with leaders of the democratic party like woodrow announcing declaration of independence saying you know those were old definitions of liberty. those were old definitions of rights we need new definition of right and liberty things that come from the government things that we can give to you and

anything that stands in the waif that checks and balances, and powers all of that has to go in pursuit of something more glorious and better. all you have to do is give me power we'll give you back something that you'll absolutely love entitlement that's been the movement of the dmrt party overt course of the last century or more. and it is difficult i think to connect all aspects of the democrat party over time, obviously, but i think one thread that runs through at least modern history of the democratic party is desire for more power at the expense of founding principle that is right preexist government, that government was instituted to protect those rights, and that a government deviolate rights is not worthy of being upheld. >> wilson out of closet racist that was well known. >> nation in the white house -- >> resegregated the federal government. and when you look at the black lives matter movement, it is openly anti-semitic support the bds movement part of the mission statement has it not?

>> yag one of the great semantic tricks played right now is the overloading the term black lives matter so they say black lives matter you say okay. and then they say also we have this whole agenda. they say i don't agree with that so saying black lives don't matter that is ridiculous trick. mark: i'm concerned what about i see happening in the country crystallized in the democratic party nancy pelosi speak of the house announced in the democrat primary in minneapolis. running against somebody who specifically challenger and others want her semitism nancy pelosi brings resolution of the floor waters it down even same with omar and persistent anti-semitic statements and anti-american statements too. the democrat party as an institution has not been speaking out against saingt semitism or riots or anything of this sort. you see this as a growing

problem in the democrat party and hence a growing problem in america? >> it is a massive problem inside the democratic party and reason anti-semitism is allowed because it fits overall broader vision of the democrat party at this point that all of america is higher of power and only people qhor victims in america are people who are part of marginalize groups not people who are members of historically marginalize groups and victims of anti-semitism because jews don't count as group because they are too sufficient and advance too well educated they don't count as minority as asians not discriminated against in harvard not allowed in no longer a minority and done ugly trick where they basically say that you're only perceived as victim if you're a member of a group not only historically marginalized less successful than other groups and this leads to the bizarre situation where it you are a member of one of those victim groups, and you
4:52 pm
target another member of a historically marginalized group that's not a problem those are people in power and as soon as the intersectionalty olympics begins and people who are perceived as part of the successful in the united states are attack doesn't matter what group identity is they're part of the successful and fair game. mark: you have true bigots and anti-semimites in the democrat party from my perspective you have talib somethings she's said omar there are others. republican party, they rejected david duke. or they vote down steve king. democrat writes letters to the prime minister of israel and threatens the prime minister of israel if they have right to return in some of the sovereign parts of ancient israel. they don't write letters to the palestinians they don't write letters to abbas, hamas and perfectly happy with a campaign on this. whereas republicans wrote a letter to the prime minister endorsing its position.

we seeing a realignment in this country and based in part on the base of the democrat party moving harder and harder to the marxist left which is anti-semitic? >> absolutely. absolutely. real ace linement has happened i think it has been in play since certainly since obama era beyond it is just begin kind of busting into full flowering right now and large part of that is because trump is so overtly proisrael this is driven left to embrace anything that trump dislikes. so the left will now embrace rioting and looting they'll embrace open hatred for israel he's the catalyst for all polarization in the country not through his own fault in cases like but but left despises the man so much. >> how to destroy america in three easy steps get a copy of it. it is important that people read this and understand it and act on it. good luck take care. we'll be right back.

mark: bernie sanders has the bolshevik agenda. they never provide us with the about blueprints. they don't know exactly what they want to do. they just don't want to do what exists today. they will do it by hook or by crook through the courts or the elections. they will use the institutions they attack to destroy the constitution. they will use the constitution

they abhor to destroy our liberty. they never talk about the individual responsibility and accountability. they never talk about morality and ethics. they never talk about the possibility of a free individual in a free society. they never talk about the -- about the wealth capitalism has created yet they condemn that which has made them free, living in society like no other human beings on the face of the earth. you better think carefully about this election. this is a crucial election. this is an election between us and them. those of us who revere this country. and those who embrace a dark ideology that will destroy our
