it’s important to understand the moment that you’re in and it cuts against the very core of human nature to understand it because I am totally convinced at my age that denial is the most powerful of all human instincts I’m serious I I mean honestly I was almost 22 years ago next month I was uh in a plane that crashed amazingly in the Middle East flying from Pasha Pakistan at the Kyra pass was right after 911 I was going over to cover the Taliban and something happen in the cargo hold and we went down in the Sand Dune in Dubai obviously I survived but it was a Pakistan International Airways flight and the thing that changed my life about that experience was something happened horrible to the plane like there was an explosion in the cargo hold some debate about what it was but it happened and the plane starts dropping and the wing appears to detach the right wing and the plane is like struggling for altitude and going up gunning the engines and sideways it’s like 3: in the morning over the Arabian Sea people are freaking out on the plane every person on that plane thought were going to die very much including me I had three little kids I was half drunk which makes it [Music] worse and we finally come in kind of sideways into the sand the planes on its side and I’m in the first seat on the plane it’s a big double Airbus and I just had one thought which I’m getting off the plane and it’s you know totally dark and you can see burning from the wing so it’s like it is time to depart the plane so I hop up and this male flight attendant stands right in front of me goes sit down everything is fine everything is fine that’s a verb anded quote everything is fine it was so demon demonstrably unfine I I can’t even begin to describe how unfine it [Applause] was and I think just out of pure panic I like ignored the guy and I opened the door and the slide went up and I jumped into darkness with like four other westerners in the front everyone in the back though they were like oh everything’s fine and I thought I’ve broed on that for over 20 years like why did he claim everything was fine the pilots by the way went right out the front windows well they did oh absolutely like whatever good luck guys um and I think he just couldn’t metabolize the change it was so awful he just could not admit what was happening right there in front of everybody and this really bothered me all these years despite the fact it wound up fine for me by the way plane is now a dive site off the Burge hotel and in uh Dubai you can swim through it someday I will um but then last year I read the biography which I would recommend to everyone in this room of Peter Wrangle who was the leader of the Revolutionary white forces during the Russian Revolution um the Civil War rather that came after the Revolution and he was a Baltic German living in Russia and a general work for the Zar the war ends or Russia ceases its h ities with Germany he comes back to to St Petersburg and the country’s in complete chaos and the bulvik have decided that you know it’s the it’s discontent within the army that we need to inflame and we need to get the Army I don’t know if this sound anyone here uh but get the guns and the people who wield the guns we need them so the first thing they do is destroy all discipline in the Zars Army complete so Peter rangle’s just been on the front for four years he comes back into St Petersburg totally civilized City two-hour drive from Helsinki I mean it is Europe okay whatever anyone tells you and he’s wandering through and soldiers are going crazy in the streets and they’re raping women they’re stealing a gunpoint soldiers in uniform in a monarchy which had not had any Behavior like this at all and he Peter angle just can’t even believe it these are his soldiers he’s a general and so he’s he’s completely freaked out and he goes into a movie theater and everyone in the movie theater is completely absorbed in the movie like there’s no Revolution happening outside and Peter angle thinks these people are insane so he goes back he’s like I got to get to Moscow so he takes the train to Moscow I have to tell thear this country is falling apart he’s very close to the romanovs the family you should read this it’s it’s just out in English translation in the last three years it’s an unbelievable book lost to history until recently two English speakers so he goes back to Moscow and he’s close to the romanovs and so he goes into the Imperial Court and he knows all the relatives and there millions of them hangers on and he notices about 80% of the women in the Romanov family are wearing red ribbons in solidarity with the bolix who wound up of course we know how it ends murdering them murdering them in the basement at dawn so wait what Peter Wrangle says how is it that this country is being devoured by a violent revolution and the people who can afford movie tickets that is kind of our middle class are refusing even to acknowledge that it’s happening and the ruling class against whom it is aimed are sympathizing with it and if this doesn’t remind you of BLM I don’t know what it does I’m reading this in my portrait like Mane I couldn’t go to sleep I was like wait I live in that country that’s happening now this is a revolution its aim is to hurt you yes that would include physically in the end sorry if someone tells you you’re not allowed to speak if someone tells you your children are not your children okay these are not ideological differences this is not oh I prefer you know this capital gains rate these are totalitarian measures that treat you as non-human human beings free citizens get to say what they think slaves must be quiet that’s the distinction so all this like oh it’s in the First Amendment no no yeah it precedes the First Amendment as our founding documents made clear these are natural rights that distinguish the citizen from the slave the human from the subhuman we can’t consider slaves fully human or we wouldn’t enslave them so anyone treating you as a slave considers you less than human people don’t pause to consider the implications of this if someone says to you I have a right to make your children hate you or to say weird creepy sex stuff to your kids what’s your what’s a valid response to that I’m calling for applying natural law to American life and if you refuse to do that what happens well we’re watching what happens they become increasingly aggressive the aims are exactly like the means totalitarian period this is not a debate they don’t want to debate they’ve said that explicitly they don’t want to debate so I really think that we should begin to see see this for what it is which is a very big deal on which all depends not just our Republic but like your family and I’m not calling for stockpiling ammo though I mean I don’t you know no one every went broke doing that I can say maybe some have but they’ll get it back in the end it’s a good investment um what I’m calling for is approaching this moment with the seriousness that it both deserves and requires requires so that you read that beautiful letter from was it Lieutenant blue after whom a spectacularly dysfunctional public high school in Washington DC is named I should tell you poor guy that’s his legacy boy room shootings um but you read that and you realize a couple of things one this man was not lying to himself he knew that everything hung in the balance he was in the middle of a Civil War and he wasn’t pretending otherwise I it was literally a civil war but he knew knew that it was it’s one thing to be in a civil war it’s another thing to admit it and he did admit it okay the second thing was his grave seriousness his grave seriousness this man foretells his own death in that letter I can feel it I’m about to die not an inkling of self-pity at all not even any I mean if I thought I was going to die I would write the world’s triest letter to my wife you’re so great he said I’d rather die than be Dishonored he says that in the letter this is a very serious person maybe even a little self-serious actually and we’re not prepared for self-seriousness because we all at least if you’re my age grew up in a world where self-seriousness or even seriousness itself was the gravest of all sins taking yourself too seriously you have no ironic Detachment you can’t laugh at yourself you can’t laugh at the moment well I mean I’m big on ironic Detachment I’m I try I’m big on humor I really hope you know that when I get the diagnosis you know that I’ll be man enough to joke about it I really do hope that on the other hand it’s not just about me and whether I can show coolness under pressure or tell a joke facing stage four it’s bigger than that it’s about my children and the grandchildren I fervently hope to have and their lives require me to be a little more serious than the world I was raised in which was honestly not serious at all it was very decadent world I didn’t recognize that at the time you know sort of well educated upper income America very decadent actually why I’m who am I to judge well you know on the one hand okay who am I to declare myself better than someone else I’m with that to this day I don’t I don’t think I’m better than anyone else and actually I’ve got a lot of evidence that I’m not on the other hand it is for me to judge whether something is good for my country and my children that is my duty to judge and not to make light of it but to see it for what it is which is the choice between life or death literally and so I here’s how I think we should respond first by taking stock of ourselves I mean are we actually living lives that prepare us for whatever is coming next y hear people say the news full of Li
