Music Good day listeners and welcome to Don't Embive the Cool Late Kim Kennedy here your host for today and We are Delighted to welcome Richard Lions to the program Richard is in the midst of writing the DNA of democracy and The volume one shadows of the Eccropolis volume two Passages through the shadows are now published Richard am I correct am I giving out right information? Yes, Kim it's a three volume series

The first is the DNA of democracy after which the series is named second volume is shadows of the Eccropolis Third volume is passages through the shadows and those are the three complete today Now we won our listeners to know that you do understand and recognize that we are a constitutional republic We're not a a democracy majority rules System of government and that's an important distinction because we talk about that all the time here Yeah, it's very important Kim because in the instance of Athens all those years ago they were a direct democracy and if there were they came into the habit of Disguiding their most successful generals like thymistichles who fought the Persians and won Against Darius he was ostracized by the Athenians Because they were envious of his position and this occurred again and again. So what we have

If you think of a genus term think of soap, right? That's democracy brand of soap is doves soap a soap bar Called doves soap that would be a species of soap and that is what a constitutional republic is It's a representative democracy wherein Powers are level between locality states and a federal government and powers are separated and the bill of rights is observed very importantly And so we are not a direct democracy And I Have to start at this time and we will throughout this program because you You look at you take us through a walk through The rear occurrences of democracy or or representative government. Yeah, take us back to Athens a room to what happened in England and

Of course how that gave birth to our unique form of government or representative form of government here in America. Yes I know the answer to this because I believe well everything is spiritual right Richard We understand that you cannot separate Well, you you began at a certain point Kim. I need to take you back one step further back and that is actually two You'll test me Moses out of Egypt The pharaohs of Egypt exercised an absolute authority and absolute tyranny and made slaves of the of the Israelite population When Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt he went to Mount Sinai and there was forged by the hand of God The laws of God on earth it is the instance of the first common law of mankind To which kings and priests were also obligated It's very important and those laws

Literally set humanity free how so well if you can't murder say if it says thou shalt not kill That's the right to life in the inverse Thou shalt not steal the inverse is our rights of property Outsch shall not cover it. What is there net thou neighbors? There again, that's rights of property. So the foundations of common law That grew through you know the 12 tables of Rome the common law of England came to us in our constitutional law and process That really began with the 10 commandments well said Richard extremely well said because as you're talking I'm thinking myself okay. Sharia certainly doesn't teach that the Quran does not teach that no no Marks doesn't teach that Then Mark's teaches that What is best for the whole is best for everybody the problem is? It always ends up in a dictatorship

What a few people look at the look at the Look at Cuba and and how that's been ruled by one family and Has been since 19 since the revolution in Cuba and it benefits all those a very very small group who raken all the wealth of that nation Use it to enrich themselves and to oppress Everybody who are in that wealth And if you don't go along with with the government in Cuba, you are imprisoned or worse. You're executed So that is what we're facing. It's as old as the pharaohs Kim it's as old as the pharaohs were the pharaoh and a few of his Ministers controlled all the wealth of Egypt and enslaved the Hebrews and and if the Hebrews objected in any way they had no rights no rights to life no rights to their property or income and They were if they disagreed with the pharaoh they were they were executed

Now let's we're gonna jump all over the place, but you're okay with that richer aren't you? You're a pretty flexible person What I talk to people like you Gazzillion thoughts are coming up, but the one that's top of mind because I've such a burden for the youth in America And I think you do too Yeah, you look at how are there was a time when you look at the educational standards of the 1800s I mean these kids could do very complex math. They could speak multiple languages That's that's gone. I mean you've got kids now graduating who can't write who can't read in some cases And I would suggest you that that is to the benefit of an authoritarian regime Can you prove that or disprove that from history? This is true in that to Tocqueville famously took a tour of America He was a European of course and he took a tour of America in the 1800s and pronounced that the American farmer was better educated than the European aristocrat

Wow, why because the the parents of students Right were those who those who connected with and control the education system they determined curriculum And they taught every generation more than what they knew before in our universities were begun as a matter of pride as independent educational institutions now Notably since LBJ's great society when the Democrat Party functionally took over control of education and principally in inner cities The reverse has occurred. We are now dumbing down generation by generation and Are becoming our children are becoming what what is the priority of the educational system today? It is the indoctrination of our children to believe that our country is evil Yes, and they throw the the the founding of all common law out of the classroom

In the form of the ten commandments. They teach that all of our heroes were actually evil When in fact they fought slavery we had to compromise at the revolution because Five states in the South large states It was a matter of their fundamental wealth They could not grow a crop without without their slave population What occurred in the revolution was that it was determined by constitution that the slave trade would end in 20 years Therefore cutting off the supply And what we had to do To face that compromise and pay For the slavery that existed then for 76 years is that we had to suffer over a million casualties in the Civil War More than has been done by any other nation in history in our unique history a majority population went to war with itself To secure the rights of a minority population at the cost of a million

casualties and the burning down of half the country That is un example in history this fight for liberation and what Abraham Lincoln did in the Civil War We also did in World War two in liberating Europe and Kids need to know this history. They need to know the sacrifice made By these generations of America Americans for the sake of our Constitution and for the sake of the rights of humanity It's extremely important but what we have is K through 12 in Doctrinating kids to hate their country and the university system was taken over in 2010 when Obama made the government the monopoly financier of higher education Where the money goes so goes control and University professors and they live on idyllic campuses They have no worries in their life because they're given tenure and these

Persons Make no study of history when they proclaim socialism to be preferable to free enterprise Free enterprise has raised the wealth of the world Since its inception since in the wealth of nations was published in 1776 coincident with our Declaration of Independence It's raised more people out of poverty than any other system What socialism does is make everybody equally poor and miserable Except for the castros in Cuba, right? Except for their henchmen and their army Listeners this is historically accurate. It can't be proven Yes, can be proven and and you have in the 20th century alone and these are just the bodies they counted 100 million people were butchered by socialism. Yes, and hundreds of millions were imprisoned Other hundreds of millions lived a life of poverty

that that in America today would would horrify people And in in China today, there's a billion people who are enslaved by a single political party This is the reality there's there's still slavery Kim in Africa and in Arabia Why don't these students learn about that now? Why don't they use the principles of American Constitutional Republic and advance that in Africa and Arabia instead of thinking it an evil thing and In the five minutes we have left in this segment Richard. Let's talk about this idea of Perfection that the left uses to put the right on the defense. Yeah, I see your story And it's a word I hear every day all the time Every server and wrestler. Oh perfect. Oh perfect. You know all that order. It's perfect Nothing in life is perfect Jesus Christ alone is perfect and there's only one of him

The word is perfect. Yeah, I would say that right? Yeah, yeah, I saw I want to run this by you. There's a video out George Washington His biggest crop was tobacco and he drove his slaves night and day to harvest it and ship it Around the world and you know that makes everything sent about him no one void What would you respond to that if his cult student asked you about that? First of all he was never home because he was serving his country in the field Oh in Washington mayor The slave the slaves were there by the way he and Martha in their will demanded that all their say slaves be freed Does anybody know that is that taught or do they know it and just knowingly suppress it? It doesn't fit their agenda knowingly suppress it They want to they want to install a socialism which is utterly diametrically opposed To our system of free enterprise and freedom itself

They want to do this and the first thing you have to do is literally behead every hero that ever fought for our free government and that begins with General Washington the greatest in Washington to the students know Kim That Washington after he was victorious as a general had the opportunity to be a dictator like Napoleon was Here And instead he took his sword went in front of the continental congress after he had been starving all these years After he'd had no home all these years laid down his sword And said I give all my powers back to the continental congress for you to do What you would do in this assembly in other words a representative assembly Is anybody taught that today? They don't think so and it is what Richard is saying his is historically provable. This is fact I don't think that we would have united states of america if it wasn't for the example the actions of George Washington

Absolutely not a man for a time and I would Richard, you know, we already go jumping around again I would put Donald Trump as a man for his times right now We're not saying these people are perfect far from it But they're their actions their example cannot be argued with especially since we've had previous administrations recent very recent who have raped the country and hated it and It's a miracle. It's really is a miracle that we have survived to the degree that we have But we're jumping ahead of ourselves and we've got a couple of minutes left Well, I want it. Well, I want to jump into is um You know you say Socialism hasn't been done right you say socialism is great. I'm gonna have no no socialism has been done right the problem is it doesn't The problem is it always ends up the same People in prison people executed everybody miserable nowhere to go That socialism

No enterprise no wealth It's just it is it is a system as old as the pharaohs of Egypt a system is old As Louis the 14th and 16th and France as old as Napoleon as old as Hitler It's despotic. It's authoritarian It's a closed system and it's cruel a few persons Raking all the wealth and all the rights of an entire population and use that wealth and power and Convert it to state the states right To oppress its own people And to persecute them look at the persecutions You just mentioned it the Donald Trump underwent and his friends and his associates and his family That socialism in action against their political opponents So over what we're asking people to do Richard

I want we're going to talk more in detail about your book in our second segment Is we're asking people to look at the evidence and consider and have discussions and compare and contrast Would that be I only have about 40 seconds left in the segment, but would that be an accurate statement? It is an accurate statement and in the second volume shadows of the economy On pages 380 and 381 I list the traits of tyranny on the left hand page And the traits of liberty on the right and the two could not be More diametrically opposed The problem in our country now is that we're we're a hybrid We're suffering schizophrenia Because we have a socialist Democrat party and a Republican party that's now going back to our constitutional founding Well Richard we're going to um we're going to do a deeper dive into that in the uh second A segment of this program. Let's let's say name names. Let's say

We'll be like a uh People magazine or something. Let's but they're seriously listeners.

This is Kim Kennedy your host for this edition of Don't Abide the Poolade and we're having A great conversation with Richard Lyons and we are talking about something we talk about a lot here on this program I'm really continue to talk about it. We're going to continue to hammer away at the very

Let me give you the summary statement And Marxism should never ever ever replace a constitutional republic a representative government Richard, I know you're in full agreement with that topic and you are going into detail today I love it. I'm just letting you talk and you are Doing a beautiful job of explaining to people especially the younger people we want to hear this So let's pick up our conversation where we left off Well, you you just mentioned you are at one of the glories of our founding And it comes to us from from England and his far back as the 10 Commandments Is our common law Our common law derives from our constitution all the laws of this country are judged against the constitution So that we have a common law and you have to execute that law Yes, the legislature creates the law the president signs it in the law the judiciary Reviews the law to make sure it's in keeping with the constitution

What are we finding in America today Sanctuary states and sanctuary cities where the common law is not applied pockets of pockets of Muslims in different parts of the country Where sharia law and not our common law is applied Which means we're living in an unconstitutional country you cannot pick and choose Uh in loss angeles whether you agree or not with our immigration laws our immigration laws were passed By both Democrat and Republican legislatures passed by both Republican and Democrat presidents reviewed by the by the courts Up to the supreme court and found to be just But that common law is now in peril in both sanctuary cities and in pockets of our country where sharia law is held supreme

To our common law that is a nathema to our constitutional republic You cannot have it you can't carve out areas where you know we don't agree with your laws Yeah, and what happens for a church For a church where you have people into the country and say no, it's okay We'll just disregard the law. Well, what about elected people who do that? I mean look Just look at Joe Biden. He's supposed to execute the law He ignored he he willfully ignored it in hopes of replacing Our electorate our conservative electorate by shipping people all over the country putting them on socialized benefits and You know hoping they vote Democrat This was systematic. This was by design. This was not oh, we love everybody on earth. Let's just let them in This was hoping to replace portions of the electorate principally in toss-up states to turn them Democrat

What is the recourse of people who believe in rule of law and believe all should be subject to law? How do they punish that? How do they bring people accountable in high places? This is the problem. Isn't it Kim? Yeah, no one is no one goes to jail If ever there were a person who deserves to be in jail It's uh, it's Jane it's Jim Comey And is it John or Tom Brennan? Brennan deserve right in yeah, he deserves to be in jail right now Hillary for cooking up the whole Russia hoax Yeah, yeah Obama for For launching it This this whole criminal trust pass against the Constitution Do you hear any Republicans speaking out about the abuses to rule of law and wanting to do something about it? Well, yes, it's what it what President Trump's administration is doing now Is it so much of it, huh is cutting off the money and this is what has to happen

He will not allow Medicare money to go to illegal aliens in California now. He's trying to stop it In order to gain benefits you have to go and you have to prove you're a citizen This is one of the ways he's trying to do it and I think he's he's spot on Kim and that We have set up such a redistribution of wealth system in this country that California can exercise socialist principles and not feel it They don't feel how ruin is those policies are yeah, they don't feel how ruinous it is to have 10 million illegal aliens Swamping their schools swamping their hospitals because the people in Missouri and Kansas pay for it Yeah, it has how long every state pays for its own disastrous policy How long can that last Richard how long can you have 10 people near a Titor's hall to get on one side and eight get on another How long and the two were the ones paying

Yeah Man when and let me tell you let me tell you what really and it was brought up by an article you mentioned yesterday Here's a lawn Omar in in her place in in in Minnesota saying no, it's the reverse You know We don't care about the murders the rapes the sex trafficking the drug The drug dealing going on in Minnesota That can happen we're a sanctuary state we're a sanctuary city Right, you know who the problem is the problem is ice for executing the laws that even constitutional a sanctuary state It's it's unconstitutional to be a sanctuary state or city on its face What you're saying is you're not abiding the constitution you're not abiding the law you're defying the law And she thinks all right, and so the the Somali community it it's being investigated has stolen billions of dollars

Billions of taxpayer dollars and now Ilan Omar Is literally spitting in the face of the taxpayer and saying you know what You owe us more money We should divert the money devoted to law enforcement and ice and give it to the communities that just Ripped the system off for billions of dollars And this what it shows is the real in gratitude Unbelievable in gratitude of these socialists We literally take them from foreign countries where they're starving bring them here to our country Where we have the benefit of our laws and the benefit of our economy and the benefits related to free enterprise And the benefits, you know, we give them education hospitals all these food stamps And they're saying you know, it's not enough We not we want more and if we can't get it we'll steal it I mean this is

The height of it these are punks and we really need to stand up with all the courage that George Washington Example Yeah, well well well said. Thank you Richard for your just I appreciate hell articulate you are I know we say get hot That's okay If you did and I would say you know, uh, you know, do you really believe in what you're saying Let's do a little bit deeper dive into the books. Let's let's let's talk about uh, you know The we've talked about the politics of read redistribution. Do you think that the left understands how wealth is created No, they don't they think wealth is created by by taking it from people who created it That's how they create their wealth I would I would go into let me just describe the series a little bit Kim Uh, the first volume the DNA of democracy is all about how our how and why our country was founded the way it was

And why speaking to that subject free enterprise is so integral A part of that being free to produce create what you want to And the consumer decides Well, and it's a vote. It's the consumers vote. They're voting whether a product Is brought back to the shelf in a supermarket or whether an artist's paintings are sold and he thrives or he doesn't and has to find another line of work These things were created in a certain way from all the ex the good examples of history from the Ten Commandments from a free Athens from from the Roman Republic From the long growth since the Magna Carta in England think of the centuries of common law that grew out of that and then It's transplantation here into America where the colonies were literally left alone They called it the Bandai neglect of the king

And these communities that settled here in America Were left to themselves. They elected their own leaders They elected their own preachers They built their own churches their own public houses Uh devoted, you know their own assembly houses That was unexampled in human history it happened here and that's a part of our unique upbringing The revolution and the sacrifice made then were the first time That a population was fighting for its rights not for plundering and other people It was the first occasion Were so vast a population was fighting for their human rights the rights of humanity And yes, there was a compromise made to keep the country together at the end of the revolution So it was not Separated and picked off piecemeal by European powers We paid for that that sin of compromise

In a civil war where again a majority population went to war with itself For the rights The first volume ends the DNA of democracy ends with the women's suffrage At movement if the civil war is an example of how not to change a country It's through bloodshed and through you know burning down half the country The women's suffrage at movement is the greatest example of how The Constitution allows our society to adapt through the amendment process And that was another moment of liberation All the women in the country could that vote and it was another type of miracle Volume two picks up where that left off With the presidency of Woodrow Wilson and the inception of socialism in our country Through two things the the progressive income tax and second the creation the creation of the unannumerated power Of the administrative state

Which now houses 435 agencies writing rules with the effect of laws outside of the legislative process And and that has been socialism from that point has been growing now for a hundred years It expanded greatly during FDR when he invaded the free enterprise system And created a regulatory state through the agencies with which all companies in America have to conform Right and it affects our free enterprise system it affects free markets The other phase is the LBJ presidency when redistribution through the great society legislation Was put on an industrial scale And created you know an impoverished population in this country larger than ever before That is now dependent on one party of government 60 million people are dependent now on 90 agencies

Operated by the federal government which take wealth from one population Who have title to it through earning it and give it to another population who they claim are entitled to it And and that is where socialism has got us today Yeah, you're you know you're you're second of the facts you're talking about not you know, I have a dream No disrespect. This is not a dream. It's history And now here's the pivotal problem When one party amasses all that power They feel they can do anything and during the Obama administration and this is why I started this series of books They started attacking their political opponents The IRS and agency of the administrative state that we were talking about Started attacking the Tea Party movement Financially through the IRS the HHS health and human services that now controls the health sector of our country

We're attacking the little sisters of the poor For their policy of not not providing abortive fashions to persons who came to them for help The administrative state through the FBI began investigating reporters notably Cheryl Atkison Who wrote stories the Obama administration didn't like It continued through the Russia hoax It continued through the impeachments that had the veneer of legality, but were witchhots They were and they were blatant disregards of our bill of rights again Exactly so and it continued through law fair again under the veneer of legality But in fact it was persecution of political opponents which is a trait of fundamental trait You know Richard in the three minutes we have left here in this segment You know when you look at our revolution we're celebrating our countries 250th anniversary That was not a political movement that was a movement of people

I think the same needs to happen these days. You've got Nick Shirley and other citizens journalists. Yes Who are cracking this? I think to depend on the political class and I know too many people on the right Still depend too much on the Republican party. I'm not here to bash. I'm just here to talk facts I don't think that I don't think it's good idea to place the ongoing life of liberty in the hands of either political party I think I think what we need we're at a Y in the road aren't we Kim? Yes We're either going to decide we're going to be the slaves of a socialist revolution And just bow down to it or have the courage of a Nick Shirley or a George Washington or a Donald Trump frankly And take the other path on the road which be a it needs a reformation of our nation back to founding principles And another you know another burgeoning of faith and courage In espousing those espousing those

Founding principles. We can't sit back anymore and just like the Republican party. You're very right for a hundred years It rode along like the junior partner of the Democrat party Allowing socialism a foothold in this country and its expansion I don't spend this and it's disastrous. I don't think they ever thought that we get to this point But it you know we start remember when it first feed Rose whatever you feed Rose to Shay and and I'll tell you what I didn't understand that When abortion became legal. I was a young teenager, you know, I'll keep it rare and Safe and make it you know now look at it I have been trenched in our high schools They're telling kids they'll cart them off to get their abortions their gender Change operations without parental notification. All complete by which which population has suffered most Kim Which which population in America has suffered most the minorities?

No, African-American population Yeah, yeah, they have suffered from from all the policies. Yeah, Democrats say helps them. Yes They've suffered from every one of them and folks this is I'm gonna beat this drum. It is historical everything he is saying. He's done his research I know and you I'm sure you have footnotes in your book, right? We're It's all factual in the book and and these these phases of the rise of socialism in our country are documented and proven yes Indeed folks, so this isn't just opinion this isn't commentary We're giving you history and history serves the purpose, you know when the communist say History doesn't matter. They say it because that's fine just Yeah, it's fine to kill it Yeah, look at soul soul lidsky rules of for radicals. We highly recommend you read that book for the purpose of understand How the enemy works? It's very deceptive and clever tactics

You're going to be you're gonna have the knowledge

tyrants hate knowledge they hate people who know history and with that Richard I want to start off our conversation talking about two walls you you've got my mind swimming with so many ideas But my last thought towards the end of our second segment segment like when I found myself thinking about The East German wall and the wall at the border in America two different walls with two different purposes You want to talk about that a little bit? Well the the the Berlin wall was famous because the persons on one side of the wall were Free and prosperous and the persons on the other side of the wall the same people right they're all Germans Do you have a right? No rights no wealth and were and were subject to a secret police They could take anyone at any time and put them in jail take anyone at any time and put them in Siberia uh And and and threaten their families threaten their businesses

Which of course they didn't know I mean everything was held and by the government The the wall separating us from Mexico It it has to be it the Berlin wall is famous for holding people out Right, I mean holding people in you're held in East Germany Our wall is to hold people out because everybody would swamp this country if they could Because of its affluence and it's it's human rights And it's the government but Half this country now doesn't believe in in when all these people want to enjoy They want to change the country fundamentally to being East Germany to being Russia To being China to being Cuba Venezuela It it's horrendous that this is even An argument you're right. It's about education when I when I wrote this series of books They asked for the genre right what's the genre of the book? It's history

It's political philosophy But it's also Kim self-help And I put that down as a genre because it citizens we need to help ourselves to this education otherwise We're caught flat-footed when AOC says all you know, we can't have free enterprises poor people. They're starving What you're not how do you get the amount of poverty? How do you get them to not be smart? What you're not being told is that it's been the redistribution of wealth in our country that has enslaved this population all these years And not improve their lives Even though the poor in this country rulers of communist dictatorships The poor do in this country So well said Richard it sounds to me like this book actually could um serve as a textbook Do you have study questions in it or do you companion notes or it sounds to me that it speaks for itself I wrote these to be ready for high school educated citizens

You can be a carpenter and understand this book You could also be a grand student in history and understand this book uh Volume three by the way we finished off in volume two volume three is a chronicle of the battlegrounds between our founding principles and socialism They are periodical articles that have been published in various periodicals over the past two and a half three years That go into all the battlegrounds whether it's in the universities whether it's anti-semitism whether it's um Attacks on our free enterprise system all these things are just The attacks on women's rights to their own bathrooms It it goes into all these things the third volume is is is current events and how this conflict is emerging Great great points and if you look at um Yeah, you know all all everything in life comes down to a spiritual foundation right Richard

What you believe who you believe in you know, if you see government is god Very clear. Yeah, yeah very clear and I would interject when you have a moment. Yeah go right ahead The reason why socialism the first thing they'd i'll take you back in history to a Historical fact when the Bolsheviks were victorious after butchering everybody in Russia they could They killed all the priests and burnt looted and burned down 40,000 churches And cathedrals in Russia Why because in a socialist state you cannot have a god no competition above the state Because then the state is answerable to god. They don't want to deal with god. They think they are god AOC thinks she's god Mom Donnie thinks he's god. Yeah, al-Sayed already has the website al-Sayed for president locked up

Because he thinks that's where he's going They should be made you have to put them on point I think him Do you believe in the founding of this country? Do you believe in the constitution and its amendments? Do you believe in god? Because that will tell you everything about a person Yeah, yeah, Richard man. We you boy you've been reading my mind. That's kind of scary I have suggested on this program that candidates and elected people should demonstrate their understanding of our form of government they should Yeah, and and sign that they will uphold it and if they violate that oath they go on they're out of here If you're a socialist you cannot take the oath of office for every office Because it depends on defending the constitution a constitution. They blatantly do not believe it If you believe in sharia law is being supreme to get to our constitutional law That's a violation of your oath. Yeah

Right there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, spot on and if you look at the founding documents Because we were founded as a Christian nation and throw all that perfection stuff out folks don't don't dig that out Perfection is never mentioned in the bible with one exception and that's Jesus Christ. That's it But it's those who acknowledge the god of the bible those who acknowledge The the ten commandments Christianity That is what this form of government a constitutional republic a representative government the idea of self-government Is singularly a Christian idea? It's the idea that the holy spirit living inside a person gives them the power to control themselves Because in a nutshell Richard we agree that self-controls where it starts just like we believe that government me starts with is basic unit of the family Yes, and you know it is Christianity has been a liberating Thing since the since the time of Christ

I mean that's what his life was yes People and and you know we we if you're gonna sell me on Sharia You're gonna come to me and say that this is we got it over what what tell me about the results But what would you say to somebody Richard you need to bend in what you're doing and you need to sort if I can be so crass selling Marxism and or Sharia What would your response be when you start comparing the products? They are unconstitutional unconstitutional Sharia law demands that you do not observe common law under Sharia law the men are able to treat their wives like slaves and their daughters. They're allowed to mutilate them Physically That has no place under our common law and what what the fan utter irony of this whole thing is The women's liberation movement now is defending Sharia law And where they're sanctuary hold on where they're sanctuary law in these cities

It is sanctuary for sex trafficking Where are the defenders of women's rights in sanctuary cities saying where are the undefended women In this city the those that are sex traffic These are great questions Where are they where are they indeed the women the women were At the front lines and defending this country since the revolution and Kim are you there? Yes, okay good Yeah, um your points are well made and I will continue to say this and I'm going to you know whoever will listen to me um Why are we having national conversations about this? Will Fox or Newsmax? I don't think the other mainline networks would take up this uh question, but why won't you air count pointer count debates To ask reasonable questions if you're asking us and we are being asked to change our form of government

What what are the results we we already know that we've been lied to quite a bit Um by people who are espousing this these ideas We can go back to recent history to what we were told about COVID in the vaccines all lies right Richard So we have reason to be skeptical. We have reason to have these conversations. Well the answer is self evident Their arguments lose Their arguments lose They can only win when they paint socialism as a kind of Christianity They can only win when they say you're going to be better off if we control the economy That's a lie It's a it's a it's a lie shown in every single 100% there is a perfect thing kill The record of socialism is perfect. It has been a perfect failure And this is true that once again, most of us is historically accurate

Yes Failure You know Richard, I would suggest you that um Socialism to focus on that Marxism is really kind of a A I call it Capitalism on steroids capitalism without morality. Do you see where I'm coming from and do you agree with it or not? In which case can sorry No, that's okay. Um, I see Marxism as a An extremely corrupted form of capitalism capitalism without morality Christian morality in particular No Capitalism is and and you know Marx himself was the one who came up with that word capitalism It's better than you need by that It's better to use free enterprise Okay, the extent that he said it's capitalist who control everything Well, I'm suggesting that they really are Well, there's a problem with the system socialism is the parent

And there's a couple of different systems in fascism you have Persons like Hitler or Mussolini controlling the economy through The owners of the principal industries right in communism The party itself owns the economy and puts people in place and they ration everything They determine what's created and by whom and what you have to buy And what you find is empty shelves at grocery stores Adam Smith's discovery this this poor old Professor he was like a He was like the forget the forgetful professor he was so invested in his idea He lost track of where he was he was found in a snowstorm in his bed clothes once And he said no the problems got my mind. I just I went wandering free enterprise is a gift That costs nothing and delivers everything

The greatest amount of variety of goods and services at the least most efficient price If you just leave it alone Where we've gone to control market sectors health care principally Prices have exploded Because you've got bureaucracy after bureaucracy after bureaucracy. Yeah Everybody's got their hand in the tub charging everybody to go see the doctor. Yes And they become socialism and they become salespeople forward pushing every vaccine and tests available Exactly that because they profit by it now Let's take college education since the government took over college education Almost the day from which they did University cost double throughout the country And the education people were getting was worth half what it was before then To where now it's 1.7 trillion dollars in in in debt and what's he doing? You're enriching the bureaucracies of universities. That's right

Really really it's we're back in the good old days of lords and serfs where the few that's what the Democrat party wants they want to control Everything yeah, so we Revege who where the individual has rights and the individual determines their path in life What they will purchase what they will sponsor who will represent them That's just basic united states 101 Yeah, Richard the your spot on man you're you know, this you've done a massive job Of explaining what I might take away from this segment is the abandonment in pursuing life liberty and happiness in other words Modern language go for it has been largely been abandoned. I think by both parties And this idea of the government take care of party for many years went along for the ride Donald Trump created a break in that The Democrat party would say this is for the good of our country. We're taking care of the poor the rep

Publicans didn't I what were they power and when you're controlling that much of a population Um, they're they're a population and servitude Of the Democrat party and this is it's fundamentally wrong each state should take care of their own poor Anyway, if people go to the DNA of democracy.com cap You know They can get a good explanation of this whole series on that one side. Yeah, I I agree with you Richard folks um You know, we like to call ourselves not only uh informative I like to think of this program as a teaching program and we you know, there's certain subjects we go over on a consistent basis And we offer resources and this is here's another fantastic resource Uh, the DNA DNA of democracy by Richardson Lions, LYO and S now if you're in a position where you can't write this information down

If you go to the website of uh for Donabuy the Coalate on the america l al-Bradio network the link will be there So you can purchase it from there in a position and you know, you want to go in and check it out do that um And our purpose folks is Yeah, it's interesting and we're enjoying it But what do you do with this information with what Richard has shared with us today We we we we would suggest Richard if I can use this term music for evangelizing You know, I mean that Well, it's self-help and we all the miracle of of our country was that at the revolution we all stood together For our common rights and the establishment of common law And we had to stand together as individuals to create that for the benefit of everyone What the democrat party has been doing for a hundred years is figuring out ways to benefit themselves Indeed and folks it's really comes down to survival they say well every election matters every election matters than the last one so voting is

Uh premier get out and vote if you're not registered register you must vote Um, but I would say being involved in the process and that can be start with the very basics get informed and know what is Really going on what the root is so you can dialogue with people and you can convert them to A constitutional republic form of government as being the greatest form of government Perfectly this not it's administered by imperfect people But it's a heck of a lot better Richard has done a magical job of showing the results of Sharia and Marxism We are out of time Richard um, we could go on and on but we cannot thank you so much. It's been a great conversation Well, thank you Kim and good morning. Okay, take care. Listen. It's making a great day
