Were to befall the planet it would be uh still hard to be positive it is still hard to be positive when it’s a steady diet of doom and gloom every day every day brings yet another attack on freedom and progress from people falsely labeling themselves as liberals
Many of these reasons from opt for optimism of the pro-freedom right are because they are directly contrasted with the negative characteristics of the anti-liberty left now this is really important do you remember um years ago i talked about martin luther king and how he was right about a couple of things
Um one was once you have the images that people can contrast between good and evil people will always pick good americans will now that is true as long as our judeo-christian values are still alive in our heart that’s why we try so hard to keep our our hearts
Soft that’s one of the reasons why i started mercury one to remind you how good it feels to do good and we were just reminded this summer when we went and helped people in afghanistan which is still going on we have to keep our our hearts soft so we can recognize the difference
Between good and evil that’s one reason why i say we can’t become them and defeat them in the way they want to defeat us we have to go a different path martin luther king said if you contrast the two they will always pick the american people will always pick good
We didn’t have the pictures of the german shepherds you know being sicked on blacks as they marched in uh memphis we didn’t have the fire hoses what we had was a group of people that we felt were marxists and you remember how they fought against that when newsweek came out and said we’re
All we’re all what was it socialist now we pointed that out at fox and said really we are because i thought you were denying that you were socialists now they’re saying they’re out in the open and barack obama went on a big smear campaign and saying that anybody who claims that
He was a marxist or a socialist was racist now they’re coming out and they’re embracing marxism as i said to you they want to tell you exactly what they’re doing but they can’t because the minute they do you’re on to them and you’re saying that’s not me this is what happened in afghanistan
When uh joe biden failed miserably and then claimed it to be a victory americans saw that and went that’s not us that’s not us i don’t recognize that those military leaders i don’t recognize our government that’s not who we are and we could contrast that with who we’ve always been
Now let me give you some of the reasons for optimism according to deep parker he says one we’re on the side of freedom and anti-liberty left is on the side of authoritarianism this is becoming more and more clear for instance chomsky was just on um msnbc a couple of days ago
And he said people who refuse to accept vaccines i think the right response for them is to not force them but rather to insist that they be isolated if people decide i am willing to be a danger to the community by refusing to vaccinate um they should say then well i also have
The decency to isolate myself i don’t want the vaccine i don’t want the right to run around harming people that should be convention enforcing is a different question it should be understood and we should try to get it to be understood if it really reaches a point where there are they are severely
Endangering people then of course you have to do something about it so what is he what is he saying he’s saying that there should be camps or there should be they should self-isolate in their home but he really means isolate because the next question was well how
Do they purchase food this isn’t how do they go out and work or anything else how do they purchase food chomsky’s response is telling well quote actually that’s their problem end quote so who is on the side of freedom and people and who is on the side of authoritarianism it is becoming clear
That the left is authoritarianism and not because we say it because their actions are now showing it second point of optimism we have timeless advantages the anti-liberty left only has short-term tactics and tricks well let me give you one did you see that um that the um military came out yesterday and said
What is it there are 496 americans still trapped in afghanistan well first of all there are more than 496 but that is double the amount that they said over the summer they said there were about 200 okay so double the amount over double the amount and then it later they said
There was less than a hundred now they’re saying there’s almost 500. the truth is that it is much larger than 500 could be in the thousands one two three thousand could be five thousand nobody really knows but when we said that we were called conspiracy theorists we were called
All kinds of names unreliable it is becoming apparent that their short-term tactics and their tricks don’t work another example of this is well it’s just transitory don’t worry about inflation it’s just transitory well it’s not transitory is it have you checked what you’re paying for meat have
You checked what you’re paying for gas have you noticed how expensive almost everything is did you know that this thanksgiving the meal that you put down the traditional thanksgiving meal here in america will cost you more than it ever has in the history of our country that’s saying something
It’s not transitory it is something that we should be working uh to solve all of their short-term tactics and tricks they all fail but we have the truth on our side we have mathematics on our side we have evidence on our side they always have to lie to survive we can be honest
We believe in civil liberties is number four they don’t let me again give you this this is the scariest thing i have heard from a government official perhaps of all time and it came out of out of rochelle walinski’s mouth she’s the cdc director last sunday she said there is a plan
To get unvaccinated essential workers education and counseling so they will feel comfortable getting vaccinated i got news for you i’m not getting vaccinated i have antibodies and i am not going to go through some government education and i certainly will not sit down with a government-sponsored therapist for counseling so
Wait a minute which one of us believes in civil liberties which one of us really is fighting for freedom of speech which one of us is fighting for the freedom of the press did you see yesterday two new people were appointed to the fcc hardline lefties that is
Going to affect my job my voice your ability to hear me on radio mark my words they have to shut people down that’s not somebody who believes in the bill of rights the fifth reason to be optimistic we love america and the average person loves america they do
We have problems and we’re honest about those problems but the anti-liberty left hates america look at colin kaepernick we believe in individual rights as number six the anti-liberty left believes in collective rights vaccines the mandates the passports by the way the fda has approved one of the vaccines for kids
So i guarantee you the collective right of your kid and you to be the parent of your kid and decide what goes into his body and what doesn’t go into their body uh you’re going to lose that right if you’re not standing up by the way terry mcauliffe he doesn’t mind
You as a parent don’t have a right to raise or teach your kids or question what your kids are learning in school number seven is economic liberty has always worked and societal slavery of socialism has never worked you know they said the model is china have you seen what’s happening in china lately
Number eight we’re productive in society those who believe in the bill of rights the constitution and the declaration of independence we generally are productive in society anti-liberty leftists are parasites good example of this is unrealized gains what are unrealized gains in the stock market that means if you’re a teacher
Your teachers union has your pension and your pension is in the stock market and every time the stock market goes up you’re now going to have to pay for those unrealized gains in other words even if you don’t pull that money out you’re going to pay to the government the privilege of that
Money making money elon musk just came out and said this is insanity insanity and it is you know this goes back to their lies and their tricks they say they’ve already paid for everything no they haven’t or they wouldn’t be looking for unrealized gains or if they say no we’re not into
Redistributive wealth we’re not into socialism and and killing the system then they wouldn’t be doing this because this will hurt the stock market people will pull their money out of the stock market why because you can’t afford to pay the unrealized gains without pulling the money out of the stock market
The last one i want to hit here is pro freedom right outnumbers the anti-liberty left and i’ll i’ll show that to you the book hidden tribes a study of america’s polarized landscape shows that the pro-freedom right outnumbers the anti-liberty left um the hardcore left the far left only
Comprises eight to ten percent of the population so why is it we feel outnumbered the reason why we feel outnumbered is because these eight to ten percent of of americans gravitate to culture movies art uh newspapers radio um not radio but uh uh television the cultural things that affect all of
Us the national socialist media the government indoctrination centers the education that’s why this eight to ten percent can influence more uh than sometimes we can and they seem more powerful than they really are however 25 were conservatives of the pro-freedom right with the middle classified as liberals politically disengaged or moderates
So it is eight percent trying to sway the rest using cultural norms we are 25 percent if we just get smart we can affect and sway a lot more people that’s why they’re trying to shut anyone who is effective at it down that’s why you don’t see effective uh conservatives
On television or anyplace else nobody who is effective is going to be on netflix or amazon that’s just the way it is however they’re doing damage the eight to ten percent are so far left that they are over playing their hand and they’re exposing themselves and exposing conservatives as the ones
Who had it right the whole time people have been buying in the mushy middle has been buying in the conservatives have been overreacting to these people that these people aren’t trying to destroy the free market and drag us into an authoritarian camp now because they are so emboldened and
Only surrounded in those power centers by people like them they’re exposing themselves and thus they are hurting themselves another reason to be optimistic
