Guest Host: Krish Dhanam | Aug 12, 2024 | Hour 1

was up, probably before the weekend. If I am guessing right, this is airing on Monday, as Start is taking a well deserved break visiting some family, getting rejuvenated so that he can hit this home stretch of the next one hundred or so days, as we see our nation on the precipice of something incredible, something important, something great, something historic. I'm a history buff an apologist by training, an evangelist by burden, and a patriot by urgency. As I've alluded

to before, my name is Chris Dunham. I am a first generation immigrant to these here United States of America, having arrived on these great shores with nine dollars to my name many many moons ago. Dallas, Texas has been home for all this duration, and when I spoke to you guys. Last time, I was coming to you from the brand new minted campus of Patriot Academy in Fredericksburg, Texas, where the preservation of liberty and the efforts therein garnered

an incredible amount of hope in my own soul. As wary as it is, by the sound of my voice, you have probably already guessed that I'm a little older in the demographic Dan Todd, and as a result of that may sound a little a little less enthusiastic about some things, but more hopeful about some other things. As we are embarking into this week, we've had some historic

announcements regarding the presidential ticket. Again, who knows what they may decide to do at their convention when they gather together, as everything else seems to have been done in the quietness of the night, when they made one person exit and another person take on the elm and mantle and almost as if a conferring of the title took place, and apparently we are weird and I'm a threat to democracy.

It is quite fascinating that when the parade of characters that is represented in the administration actually does look weird, visually speaks incoherently, cannot conjure up a sentence, cannot answer a question with a legitimate answer without always hearkening back to the die tribe will when we took over all this nonsense. At some point, leadership requires an ownership like

in times past. And one of the pictures that I was shown this past week when I was at that Patriot Academy was a picture of George Washington basically resigning his commission as commander in chief. He had seen the nation through the revolutionary war, took it upon himself, told Congress repeatedly that he considered himself the least qualified person

to lead. This went through a lot of defeats in the early stages, but yet when his time came and the treaty was signed, he says, I don't want to move on from where I am and become another king. I'm going to retreat to the quietness of my own home and go back to doing what I was doing

before the nation called me for this solemn duty. It is a travesty and a tragedy that some of the left wing media and the proponents of the mainstream punditory or equating President Joe Biden's decision to not run again to the decision that George Washington made. And when I heard that comment from the media, I almost thought to myself,

how much of history have you actually studied? How much of George Washington's life have you actually evaluated to even come close to making a claim that after three years of a debacle of an economy where the inflation is rampant, the borders are open, and every policy decision that has been made has been made as against the American people and the legal citizenry of this nation. Every suggestion made was to equip an arm and almost give benefits to

those that came here illegally. To equate those decisions with the stature of George Washington, come what it may, I mean, you know, I know how they will always dance back to that equation of ownership and all of this other stuff and who had slaves and who didn't and all that nonsense. But the reality is this current president has been in office continually, if I'm to get it right, since he was twenty nine years old. He's been in

public service for fifty years. He is not resigning anything and walking away in the zenith of his life, having left the country better off than when he took it. To equate that decision to the decision of General George Washington. Eventually, President George Washington, who himself again after two terms, said

that should be enough. It's a travesty. I just wish some of these punditory who come down and make these Democrat talking points and call conservatives weird and call names and display that and then have the audacity to somehow merge their own side with history and elevate themselves to a position of grandeur. I said often on this program when I filled in for Todd on numerous occasions, that

I'm but a humble immigrant. I'm a spectator in this journey for a majority of it, having benefited from the American dream. When I stand in front of the youths today to speak, the first thing I do is apologize to them. I said. The country I inherited that had the great Ronald Reagan as president when I arrived in this nation is a far cry from the one I'm

leaving this next generation. And when I apologize to them, I apologize to them not for the fact that I have been an imbecile who is ambivalent to what has happened or has not participated in the cause of freedom and liberty. It is saying that the nation we inherited morally, righteously, religiously, fundamentally civic, was a far different one that did not

have the vitriol that we now seem to espouse. When even thoughts and questions and ideas are opened up for debate, it's almost as if if you have a counterpoint of view that hearkens back to anything other than what the mainstream pummels and pushes that you're a bigot, you're a misogynist, you're a prejudicial individual who is not fit to be

in society. And yet the people who seem to have my opinion, my idea seem to be the ones who are functioning, have jobs and actually go to the jobs, maintain their insurance, which cast an astronomical amount, don't receive the handouts that are passed down. I've never taken an unemployment insurance check, even though I've had gaps in my employment. I mean, I'd rather dig a ditch than try to stand in line and ask someone else to determine how much dignity I have in my life and how much

it is worth. But anyhow, you know today, as we embark on our show today, going back to conservative is not bitter. You're probably wondering, I'm not bitter. I'm just venting, and I'm venting in a positive way and trying to use action, axioms and words that can connect the dots

of human history. So what shall we talk about today that will give us the glimmer of hope amidst the rabid, rousing nonsense that is constantly paraded on all channels that seemed to get our attention almost to rile us up.

For example, yesterday's headlines were about this pick of the new governor of the governor of the great state of Minnesota, a state I visited many, many times, wonderful, wonderful people, But somehow the twin cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis seemed to elect always someone who is blue, who is radical, who is fundamentally opposed to anything else. This guy actually

stood watch while his city burned. I happened to visit Minnesota shortly after all of those riots took place and all of that looting took place, and one of my friends took me to the downtown area which had been revitalized, and it was made into a almost like a paradise, and a lot of investment and money went into revitalizing that downtown area which in a span of seventy two hours was torched beyond oblivion. This guy, this governor, who is now the vice presidential nominee on this new ticket,

is the one who stood watch. And somehow, if we call him radical or call him someone who is left of common sense, we are considered people who don't seem to understand. And this is what I want to ask ourselves. Maybe we talk about for God and country and get back to some of the basics that begin to define us. Maybe we have some of the common sense gumption of asking ourselves, does history actually have something to say about these pivotal moments in this nation's history? I know it

being recorded. I cannot get your opinion in real time if you text the show, But if you want to communicate with me as you're listening to this or listen on Friday, just drop me a line at Krish at Chris Dunham dot com. That's k R I s H. Chrish at Krish Dunham k r I s H d

H A N A M dot com. Todd has asked me repeatedly to share that in But I don't like giving shameless plugs for the simple reason that this is his audience, his microphone, and something that I have seen him passionately work on building for the last decade that I have had the privilege of knowing him in this journey. But drop me a line, tell me if I'm right or wrong. Ask me a question as to why, as an immigrant to this country, I see this world radically

different from the way others are seeing it. Why I'm apologetic to a generation saying that I'm sorry that I allowed this to happen on my watch. Why I'm almost bewildered when I see other immigrants who are being flooded into this nation and somehow convinced to be left leaning.

Why would you run away from anybody as or any place as a refugee and come to this glorious land and take of this land in terms of benefits and opportunities, and then stand in line and mack those that made that possible, the hard working men and women, the people who when you look at the map of the United States and you see all of that red, and you even wonder, how does a liberal actually get elected in

this nation. And then you go back to the genius of the founding fathers, because they had to make it based on populace and where the density was. Otherwise, you know, if they didn't give us that fair shake, New York and California would elect every time everywhere everyone, and you and I would be left holding the bag of making that decision for ourselves as to whether we wanted to

continue to live here or not. But when you look at that map of red, and you look at how much what percentage of this country in terms of geography, actually believes in the American dream, and then you look at those small little slivers of blue about people who are radically opposed to individualism, who are radically opposed to dignity of labor, who are radically approached to the fact

that we need an id to vote. One of the great ironies of ironies was apparently the other side had a rally recently that was fairly large because they added a new person another person anointed. Notice how these two people who are now on the ticket going to save democracy are actually the people who never participated in anything democratic. They were just enshrined and enthroned overnight and somehow you

know that is now normal. The media doesn't talk about the fact that somehow the democracy is not a threat when you install people and don't elect people who voted in the primary elections throughout the country. But when this rally was being organized and some people were being a thing, one guy was very proud to be in the rally, and he says how much the security ah, how happy he was that the security was so tight, and that unless you were registered as a person who could actually

attend the rally, you were not even allowed. You were screened. And not only were you screened, you were screened with an ID. In that fasting to elect a person to the highest office in the nation, you can let anybody come and vote without an ID. You can give that ID to anybody who has not been vetted in any process and just crossed over the border, and somehow when you want to come see them at their rally, you

have to produce an ID. I just boarded a flight from San Antonio to Dallas a day and a half ago, and guess what I had to show an ID. And not only do you show your ID, the ID is actually put through a machine that confirms you are who you say you are. I have to do that to board a plane. But let's say I was returning from one city to another, to go back to the city where I was born and where my voter ID is currently valid. I'll have to show an ID to get

on the plane to go to that city. I'll have to show an ID to rent a car to go and get to my city. I'll have to prove myself nine different times from Sunday to make sure that I am who I am. But apparently when I go in to vote, I don't need an ee. Folks, this is no longer Democrat or Republican. This is no longer conservative or liberal. This is no longer this is absolute stupidity versus common sense. This is right and wrong, this is up and down. This is black and white. But let's

look at that through that lens. And obviously I'm covering some ground here, and I want to try to put us through the funnel and look at some of the names that history has given us as responsible people who stood up at a very difficult time, and in their desire to stand up at a very difficult time and go against the grain of everything that was being offered. These people participated in a journey that changed the fate

of a nation. When you look at it from that standpoint, you'll begin to realize that there is something amazing that is truly happening in this world at this time. I remember some years ago, so I had the privilege of reading some of the excerpts in a speech that Patrick Henry gave on the twenty third of March in seventeen seventy five, and I would like to read this again for you. No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism as well as the abilities of the

very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the house. But different men often see the same subject in different lights, and therefore I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if entertain, as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs. I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. And I'm taking excerpts from that very famous speech.

But here's what he goes on to say. Should I keep back my opinions at a time such as this through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country and an act of disloyalty towards the majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Mister President, it is natural to men to indulge in the illusion of hope. Besides, so we

shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise our friends to fight our battles for us. It is. And I've used the second part before, and I may have used this entire part before because I'm just a big fan of the speech. It's something I read when I came very early to this nation. Recently, I was thinking about another speech that was made by an African American preacher in a predominantly Black church, and

he went back to the morality. He says, you know what I know. I am expected to act a certain way, talk a certain way, behave a certain way, and even vote a certain way. But I cannot, with my faith and fear in God, I cannot vote for a party that says that there is no moratorium on the killing of babies. I cannot and will not vote for a party that says there is no limit to the number of people who can waltz into an area and take away the benefits from people who are citizens of this nation.

He says, I cannot and will not vote for somebody who does not care about our homelessness and yet brings people who are undocumented and house them in nice, luxury hotels. Folks, this is what we are dealing with. If you want to understand something called for God and country, maybe we need to get away from the diet tribe that is political and all this rhetoric that seems to be meaningless banter of right and left, and get back to right and wrong morally speaking, What are we obligated to do

for our children? What are we obligated to do for our children's children. The amount of debt that we are being saddled on or that is being incurred is crazy. It is untenable. It is something that does not work at a kitchen table when my bride and I balance our books and we realize because we are salespeople and commission only, or that's the nature of our world. Our worth is dependent on how much work we do. If I look at my calendar and I see some fewer

engagements than others. And I may be speaking twice or thrice less than the other month. My bride will look at me and say, hey, our intake is going to be down by twenty percent, so our output is going to be down by thirty percent. Common sense, you always spend less when you earn less, and you spend and you budget it accordingly. So if you're spending twenty dollars when you earn forty dollars and you next month are going to earn thirty dollars, don't spend ten. Make sure

you only spend five. The equation has to match up to common sense. But I hear the former Speaker of the House standing up and talking about the fact that unemployment insurance actually drives up spending. I mean, they just throw these things out like nobody is watching, and the person who is actually interviewing them goes along with it

because they don't want to upset the card. When the current presidential candidate is asked a question about the state of the economy, she says, prices are going up, and that's a problem. And since prices are going up, that's a priority for us to look into the fact that since prices are going up family, and she just goes off on this tangent and somehow she ends up at the fact that because prices are going up, we need

to ensure that the rights of women are protected. What I'm just asking myself as I'm listening to this, and I'm thinking to myself, Man, I'm full Indian. I was born and raised in India. And she's claiming to be half Indian. But she would be excoriated by Indian TV, which is not really known to hold you to some kind of a rigorous standard. But she would be whole held to that standard, not on the basis of policy, but on the basis of common sense. It just makes

no sense. You cannot say that and get away with it, and say that over and over again. But the scary part is that anthem that is talked about, the equality and equity is a stalin Esque argument. The hinged and unhinged or bound and unbound, or whatever the word she use, is actually a Marxist argument. These are all cleverly disguised mottos that become the anthem and rally cry for people. Folks, we are tatering on the brink of disaster. I'm wondering

myself why this election is even close. I was surprised the last time when he lost. And whether you're a conspiracy theorist or not, and the evidence that is coming out, different people talk about it differently, but I don't pay attention to that. I said, votes do matter. And if we stayed home as a result of that, because we just thought it was in the bag and then the margin of error came down to a thing. You can

blame it on nine different things. But as conservatives, if you want this election to work the way you think it should go to save a republic, every one of us should vote. Were saying this past weekend that Charlie Kirk, the gentleman who were in a turning point USA and all the other good work, he says, he waited till the very last day to vote because that's what he

always did. And this last presidential cycle when he went there, there was a glitch and the electronic or the electrical surge or something like that, and as a result, the voting machines were or for some reason they just said that, you know, we can't do the vote today or whatever it is, and some other place had flooded, so there were thousands of people who were not allowed to vote on the election day because of some glitches. Folks, don't

leave it to the last minute. I shared this with you the previous time I was with you, and I'm sharing this with you now again. If it does come down to one vote or two votes making a difference in your regional election, that is the person who goes and becomes the deciding vote where a bill eventually will become a law and the fate of a nation will

be dependent on that. So don't just make sure that you're voting for the President of the United States and that's your cause, celeb because that's the one in the media, and that's the one in the news, and that's the one that gets you most excited. Make sure you're voting in every election up and down. Your vote is sacred. Every time you get a chance to vote, go out there and vote. And again, this is as much as I wanted it to be about apologetics and God and morality.

For some reason, I keep getting drawn back to making the argument about elections and election interference and all of the things. I go back to the basics, and I'm asking myself, I'm pinching myself how can this thing even be close when you understand the record of the other side and you understand what they stand for, how can this thing be even close? Well, when we come back after the breaker for the next segment, let's address some

of those issues until then. This is christ Dunham filling in for Todd Huff on the Home of Conservative Not Bitter. Welcome back, dear friends to segment two. This is chrish Down. I'm filling in for Todd huff on the Home of

Conservative Not Bitter. We talked about elections. We talked about votes, we talked about the blasphemy of how you would equate what's going on now and the gallant decision of a former prayer of the current president to step down from seeking election again to George Washington, and I probably went on a completely unhinged rant there, but that's the passion

behind the voice. I wish I had more time with you, one on one, and maybe that day will come where we can sit across a table from each other and just feel questions and go through the answers. But every time I'm given this opportunity by Todd, I think to myself of how much I would love to do this on an ongoing basis and just deal with one topic. So I guess I get excited, and I do apologize if I go off on a tangent here and there.

But like I said earlier, that's just the passion. But as we engage in this and try to look at this great republic that is worth saving, and I don't know, maybe that's just nostalgia for me. I've been forty years into this journey, and I constantly asked myself the question, what would my life have been had there never been in America? What would my life have been had there never been great people who fought in the wars and eventually liberated It was part of the Allied liberation and

changed the face of Europe. See, the world would have been radically different if it wasn't for America. But today, for some reason, she is not only vilified, she is torn down at home by her own people. And these are people who benefited by her. Not one of these guys who stands up and talks about equality and equity would make it a minute in another nation because they don't have any specific skill to offer. This is what the political process in this country seems to have become.

Nobody serves with the desire to better the constituencies. Nobody does what the original founding fathers did when they signed their death warrant on that declaration, pledging to give up their lives, their treasures, and their sacred honor. I mean,

none of the people now would do that. In fact, everything is questioned, everything is suspect, and the moment someone says I want to run for office, if you don't fit the narrative of the machine that thinks that they approve of you, then men, the tearing down does begin. But I love American history, and I really do believe that America's best days may be in front of her if the people just pay attention at this stretch. It is not like we have not been in this position before.

We have go back to the time when the taxation without representation cry began. The Stamp Act never went in because the people rallied around it. The crown was upset that the taxation needed to be more from the colonies because of the work they were doing around the world. Think about it, similar situation. We've got all these wars, we're invested in, all these countries that need billions of dollars.

All these social programs that warrant were unfettered spending. So because of the good we are doing that pat on the back. We are the ones taking care of the migrants. We are the ones housing the asylum seekers. We are the ones you know, footing the bill in Ukraine. We are the ones. We are the ones. We are the ones fighting for Palestine that do goody pat on the back is just like the King of England. We are the empire where the sun will not set. We're doing

good all over the world. The East India Company rules the trade routes between Malaysia and the Middle East. India is a big hub for us. The crown Jewel of the British raj and all of this stuff. And then you have this colony, this colony that is now the thirteen colonies that so far had had their independence. They were individual people, and the Crown decides that, hey, you know what, maybe we need to tax them a little more. They've had too much liberty. So the loyalists agree with it,

the patriots disagree with it. But you know, to the best of my knowledge, many of the people say, hey, I don't think the Stamp Act ever got off Brown. They did the same thing with the Boston tea. They wanted to tax tea because the tea was coming out of India and they needed to charge a premium for that tea that was being consumed quite quite rampantly by the people and the colonies. The same thing. We've been

here before. That was seventeen seventy five when the thought began, when Patrick Henry began those words, I don't care what path others might take, but for me, give me libery or give me death. This led up to the reading by Richard Henry Lee in June of seventeen seventy five, the Declaration drafted by Thomas Jefferson and signed by a couple of people, and then the majority signed on August two in seventeen seventy six. What was the fight, The same fight. They want more of what you own. They

want to tax your property. Even if your house is paid off, you still pay taxes because the government, through some old land deeds, probably owns sixty percent of the

land anyway. But if you go back study that issue, there's a case coming up in the Supreme Court pretty soon, and you will realize that all of the land owned by the United States government probably has more mineral resources and enough oil on them that would make America independent, energy independent for the next five hundred years, but the government owns it and they don't want it because of

the same issue. If you allow that prosperity to be under take in and achieved at that very basic level, you find yourself not needing those who lead you. That's why the Declaration of Independence said the rights. Governments are instituted amongst men to predict these rights, the right of what, the inalienable right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, the pursuit being the only one with a qualifier. But the way that was drafted is those that are elected

in a republic are inconsequential. They are elected to go their checks and balances within them, the Congress, the Senate, the Presidency, all of that. But they are there to represent your honor because the rights are with the governed. So why then do we have this unending regulation constantly being thrust down our throat. And the reason is not too far from where we were in seventeen seventy five

when that revolution began. It began with the same thing is that we need to be in control of this thing. If there is taxation, there has to be representation. So if you're going to tax me to the tune of thirty eight percent of my income, you're going to give me capital gains tax. You're going to tax me on the income I received. Then you're going to tax me on the sales I may, the products I buy. Then you're going to tax me on the fuel that I pump.

You're going to tax me on the registration for the car. You're going to tax me on buying the car. Tax, tax, tax, It's almost like the tax Man song that George Harrison wrote with the Beatles, and it's almost become laughable in a mockery. But that's the low hanging fruit. That's what

these governments are saying. That's why a conservative government that says, you know what a trickle down, we're going to give you a tax break is a threat to the people in power because that's the only way they can fund themselves into superiority. Do you think they really care about you and I? The pothole on the road is still

the pothole on the road. But they pass all these resolutions at the state level saying we're doing this stuff for you, and then will take care of the roads, will take care of the buildings, and will take care of the clean air. You look at everything that went on with climate change, same thing. The changes are not as drastic as they said they would be, but the

taxation has been as drastic as they want. So that's the world we are living in, the same seventeen seventy five world that told one small group of people thirteen colonies that took on the mighty British Empire. The war lasted a long time. There were battles that were won, there were battles that were lost. But the reality is, my friends, we have been there before throughout human history. We have been there. During the Civil War. We were again there a nation on the precipice of collapse on

the one single issue of slavery. But that same issue was tabled in eighteen seventeen eighty seven when Theress, when the Constitution was ratified, they said, if we cannot do it, let's table it. They tabled it for twenty years. They came back and revisited it. In twenty years they passed it saying no new slaves can be a coqu But the Southern slave owners fought them, and as a result, even though four hundred million dollars was appropriated, people said,

not enough. It's never enough. It's never enough. But when I met Mother Teresa all those years ago and I asked her what is success, she said, until you know how much is enough. No matter how much you get, it will never be enough. That's why Ronald Reagan's great words, the scariest words in the English language are I'm from the government and I'm here to help you. I'm talking

about a conspiracy theory of any kind. I'm talking about practicality of earning a paycheck, earning a living, putting some money in the bank, buying some investments for yourself, trying to preserve your presence, trying to make sure that your budget is balanced, and trying to make sure that you put away something for posterity and a rainy day. But the issue is that you never let go on skid right.

That's what Steve Forbes kept saying when he says that our tax code is so complicated that they tax you from the moment you arrive on earth, and even when you're dead in your grave, they will find a way to tax you in some way. Because they do not want to leave you unaccounted for, not as a denizen of this great Republic, but as someone they can squeeze

like a lemon till the last drop comes out. So, since we now know that this has happened before, since we now know that what is being offered around in terms of smoke and mirrors and this hoodwinking of overnight electing, putting someone in position of power and then saying we've taken a secret ballot and we've taken a virtual ballot, all of this is gone back to that concept of how much power do we need and where are we

going to put this concentration of power. When we come back in the last segment of the first hour, let's dissect where your money does go. Let's dissect how much of it is really coming back to you. Let's dissect how much you have to work in this world just to consider yourself to be a part of this world. More after this break again, this is christ Dunham filling in for Todd Huff. All right, welcome back. This is Chris Dunham filling in for Todd Huff on the Home

of Conservative Not Bitter. Chris Krish. Dunham da Nam. I have a YouTube channel which a ton of videos. I'm an apologist by training, a Christian apologist, and an evangelist by burden. But I've dabbled in American history and the American process for the number of years I've been in this country as an immigrant, and i have some very, very personal and passionate opinions about immigration, having done it the right way. My bride was born in Michigan but

raised in India. She's the opposite of any anchor baby you've ever met, because she became an American citizen while in India, and as a result, we came here with the permits to work, and work we did, worked very hard. Minimum wage was three thirty five an hour when we began this journey, and when we look back now, I marvel at how people when you're when they are too their worth, they almost succumb to the lowest common denominator.

So in the previous segment, we talked a little bit about the taxation and the power of that taxation and the power of the purse that comes with the elected. The word that keeps throwing or being thrown around is a word that nobody is challenging on face value, this will be the death of democracy. Well, democracy always dies because it's marbocracy. It's majority rules. That's why a constitutional

republic has legs. If you say this is the death of democracy, if you think that the people you're going to elect or can be unfittered totalitarian people, that's what marbocracy is. So any culture that has had that in a parliamentary form and a presidential form still has instituted within their own rights what we call those limits of four and five years, so that the people have a chance to recheck their cho choices, re elect choices that are better, review their own choices that have or have

not worked, and ask yourself why. But that having been said, I'm fascinated that there are some people that, no matter what happens in this world, will never choose be, never cease being conservative. And I may be one of them because I believe in simplicity. There are some people that will never ever leave the Democratic Party because they don't believe in simplicity. They believe in complexity. Everything has to

have a philosophical bent. If wishes were horses and some kind of a utopian thinking saying that you know what, unless I have someone who is willing to promise me air, I technically cannot breathe. Excuse me, I technically cannot breathe because I want people to constantly promise me stuff. The fact that whether I deserve it or not is secondary. I'm entitled to it. I'm entitled to it because someone took it from me, and as a result of it, I want it back. But that's not the new victim

is it. When I look on television and I look at who is actually complaining, the script seems to have been flipped. They were a bunch of people who were forced to have white guilt. No, I'm brown skin and I'll always be brown skin. I was born in India, raised in India, and I came to the United States in nineteen eighty six. When I came to America, it

had a different cultural bent to it. The people who were marginalized, the people who were disenfranchised, claim victimization in terms of color, opportunity, diversity, etc. But the people who felt bad for them didn't feel bad for them because they could idea with them. They felt bad for them because they thought their ancestors had done something wrong, and they were beaten down into believing that good, bad, or indifferent. They did election after election catered to that same victim card.

Ninety to ninety two percent of the African American community always voted for Democrats. Now, whether you talk about it as a switch, or whether you talk about it as great society, or whether you talk about it as a new deal or Lyndon Johnson's all of this stuff, it doesn't really matter. The fact is when you look at your pocketbook every four hours and you realize you're worse off than you were four years ago, not four hours.

Four years you were worse off, and someone else comes in and promises you something different, and your community is improved marginally, education changed, historically, Black university has got more funding. And suddenly you found out that the person doing this was not the person you had historically cast your vote for, but someone who had actually built a business, done some things. Now he's got moral flaws. Who doesn't. As a Christian, I only see to the verse of not who I'm

going to vote for. But all of us have sinned, and there's not one perfect, not one. We have all fallen short of the glory of God. Now, suddenly, when you look at the television screens, the script has been flipped. You have Latinos who are voting for the Conservative Party. These are also immigrants and migrants who have come up the ranks. Most recently in Fredericksburg, Texas, I met a young man who is an immigrant from Guatemala, who is an asylum seeker in the eighties. But he looked at

me very differently. I said, what do you think of the asylum seekers now? He said, all are fake? And again I go back to that the flip the script has flipped. We have a very different concept of equality now. The minority communities in this world, whether it's African American, whether it's Latino, whether it's Asian American, whatever it is, the minority communities in this world are saying, wait a minute.

I like the Conservative platform because it is founded on dignity, discipline, dedication, devotion, direction, and not just based on destruction, dereliction and debauchery, which the other side seems to parade in the name of equality. So now that the flip the script is flipped, when we come back for that second hour, let's ask ourselves why these monumental cultural changes have taken place and we're

watching it in front of our eyes. Why is the cry for raising taxes and all of that now falling on deaf years from those that historically were marginalized more after the break
