Is public education unconstitutional? Nebraska Court to decide

0:00There's a very interesting piece I want to get into today. This is from our friend Alex Newman over there at the Liberty Sentinel. And in this piece he asks a very interesting question. Are you ready? Are you prepared? He says, do compulsory education and government school funding violate the first amendment of the U.S. Constitution? Now, right off the bat, you're saying, no, of course it doesn't. But in Nebraska court is considering that very question right now, even as we speak.

1:01And according to Newman, the implications could be far reaching. And this piece is intriguing. It's attention grabbing. I'm interested. I want to know what's going on in Nebraska. And so we're going to get there. We're going to get to this piece. And it's important. It's important because the education, the entire system in this country and America has been, it's been commandeered. We know this. We've watched an unfold for decades. And we are now seeing the fruit of the commandeering. We're seeing it come out in, in, in, in every day. Every day stupidity coming out in every day stupidity. I've got some examples. My friends, I've got some examples. But to get there, we have to go to history class because that's what's been, that's what's been annihilated here is history class.

2:03It's been destroyed. It's been turned upside down. It's been watered down. It's been diluted. It's been shredded. And kids don't understand anymore. They don't know why things are being done. We talked about this yesterday. We spent the entire show on it yesterday where kids are going into college and professors are discovering that they don't know who attacked us on 9-11. And why the attack was, was performed. Why it was purged out. Why it even happened. They, they don't know. And the reason they don't know is because history has been turned upside down. Selectively so. Or it's being rewritten or it's being ignored all together. And so the things that have happened in this country have happened. But our, our young people don't, don't know about it. They, they don't understand they don't get it. All right, our first stop to history class today takes place in 1892 on this very day, September 8th, 1892.

3:07It's today that the Pledge of Allegiance is first published in the youth's companion magazine, 1892. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation. Now the next phrase under God wasn't added until 1954, I think. So that is not in the original. But that's okay. It was added when it, when it should have been added. But the Pledge itself is an allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. But do you know there are some people in our government in this country, which is a Republic. There are some representatives who were elected in this Republic to represent their constituents who refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance because to them, it's offensive.

4:15Roll the tape, my friends, roll the clip. This is, this is a Georgia. Let me see here who, who this person is. This is a, this is a, Dale, deal, Lohman. I don't know, D. E. L. Lee. Deal, Lohman. She's a member of the D cab county, Georgia Board of Registration and Elections. Last week, she claimed that requests to cite the Pledge of Allegiance at these board meetings here, the Board of Registration and Elections. The, the, the, the, the request to recite the Pledge to her is offensive because in her words, the Pledge is not unifying. There's nothing unifying about the Pledge. So how dare you, dare you ask us to recite the Pledge. Here we go. Roll the tape. Reciting the Pledge of Allegiance is not unifying and requesting it is offensive. I will not support it and I hope that it does not get brought up again until we can be assured that this country has pledged allegiance to all of its citizens and treats all of us as Americans, which it does not and never has.

5:30That's it. Talk about better. Talk about, um, somebody out there is better. I'm not going to support this Pledge of Allegiance, not until, not until the country pledges its allegiance to our citizens. It never has and it never will. Hmm. Do you, uh, who is the country? Who is the country is the country in an admin object that has to pledge its allegiance to the citizens who makes up the country. Um, Loman, it's you, you make up the country. It's, it's, it's the officials. It's the citizens. We all make up the country and we're supposed to pledge allegiance then to ourselves. Well, if that's the case, I mean, if you want the country to pledge that it's allegiance to its citizens, I mean, in your definition, does that mean that the country.

6:36And by the country, we mean us, the government gives away freebies. Is that pledging allegiance? Is that what's your definition of a country pledging its allegiance to its citizens? Because the citizens make up the country. This is why we, we pledge our allegiance to the flag, which represents the Republic, which is one nation under God, indivisible, meaning you can't divide up, but that's what you'd like to do. So, Loman, board member Loman, you would like to divide it. You would like to tell people that this pledge is, it's useless. It's not unifying. The pledge is not unifying. Therefore, I'm not going to recite the pledge because the country doesn't pledge its allegiance to me.

7:38I'm most important here. I should be put on a pedestal. Everybody should be pledging their allegiance to me, me, me, me. This reeks of selfishness, this reeks of divisibility, this reeks of, I guess I'll call it divisiveness. There is no virtue in it. There's no selflessness in it. There's no, the whole point of pledging your allegiance to the flag is a selfless act. And you're pledging your allegiance to the flag because it represents something. It represents this Republic that is one nation and it's under God. Do you have a problem with that? Are you upset that we're a nation that holds God to be in high esteem? Is that what anger is you?

8:49With liberty and justice for all, are you angry because you don't feel like liberty and justice is being given to everybody? Is that? I don't know. You're upset here that you feel like you need to have some allegiance pledged to you. And you're not going to be, you're not going to consider this pledge unifying until you have some allegiance pledged to you. You want the citizens of Georgia, of this county to pledge their allegiance to you? Well, that will make you happy. I just, I question what education system was she brought up in? Well, I can tell you, one, it was a very Marxist-driven education. It was a socialist-driven education. One who refuses to be patriotic. Look, you don't have to love everything that your government does. You don't have to agree with everything your government does. You don't have to agree with every elected representative.

9:50But you should be patriotic towards your country. You should love your country because your country casts forth some high ideals that all men are created equal. And they're endowed by their creator with particular certain and alienable rights. This isn't happening in any other country. There's not another country on the planet founded with these principles at its base, at its core. These principles are, they give you opportunity that you don't get anywhere else. And this is what we're pledging our allegiance to. We're pledging our allegiance to a flag that represents this republic that offers us liberty and justice for all. Now, there's a two-tier justice system in this country. We know that. We know that justice is not being doled out to everybody.

10:55We see that unfold every day. We're watching it before our very eyes in the Epstein file business. And it happens regularly. It's not what you know it's who you know and who you know can get you off. Pretty easy. And we know that we get that. That's not the country's fault. That's the fault of evil people who happen to be in charge in particular places. That's not the flag's fault. That's not the pledge of allegiance fault. That's not the founding fathers fault. They didn't create something evil. They created something that has given us the opportunity to experience liberty and justice for all, but there are evil men and women that get in the way of that. We know this. We understand this. We get it. But we still live in a country that gives us this opportunity. And when evil people get in the way, don't go into corner and pow about it. And don't sit there in your board position and crying, complaining that the pledge is not unifying. And I'm not going to say it.

12:05I'm not going to say it. I'm going to sit here and pow until I get some allegiance sent my way. Everybody should be a loyal to me. How about me? Me? Me? Me? Me get some allegiance. Selfish. It's absolutely selfish. She's uneducated. She's uninformed. I shouldn't say she's uneducated. She is. She's educated. Just not in a very good way. She has not received an excellent education. An excellent education is one that. Well, you know this. I talk about it all the time. It's an education that teaches young people to love their creator, to love one another, to serve one another, to be virtuous towards one another, to love their country. I don't know how you can live in a country and hate it simultaneously. I just, that's mind blowing to me. I don't understand that. I don't know why you would not want to recite the pledge. I just, and then you were elected by people to to lead them. And this is this is the leading that you're going to offer to them.

13:20You're going to tell them that the pledge of allegiance is is offensive that you're offended by the pledge of allegiance. Oh, she's not done. You know, she's gang on hang on there. There's more. I hope that it does not get brought up again until we can be assured that this country has pledged allegiance to all of its citizens and treats all of us as Americans, which it does not and never has. That's it. So when we have multiple people making complaints about reciting the pledge of allegiance, it feels like we have lost the plot. Regarding the claim that this is somehow unifying, I just want to remind you that our legislature convened in a special session this summer to take voting representation away from black people. Yeah, you heard that correctly. I just that those statements, those statements infuriate, infuriate me. What does she mean? We lost the plot that the more people that request that we save the pledge of allegiance at a board meeting.

14:37Now she thinks that she's lost the plot. What's the plot here? Is the plot that we no longer acknowledge the pledge and because you have your constituents wanting you to acknowledge the pledge that you've lost the plot. And this statement that the Georgia legislature convened in a private session to take away voting representation from black people is an outright lie. It's a lie. It's a blatant lie. There's not a legislature in this country that would convene to take away voting representation from any group, much less black people. Now I don't know what she's referring to here. Maybe she's referring to Jerry mandering redistricting, which does not remove voting representation from anybody. Okay, you can still vote for whatever you want to vote for. But do you think that because it it rewrites the lines to favor Republicans over Democrats that that black people are no longer going to have voting representation?

15:45Because what you think they're all in the Democrat box that they're all confined to vote Democrat and only Democrat. You're wrong, lady. You are wrong in every single aspect of this. There's not a single thing that you're saying here that has any accuracy to it or any intelligence to it at all whatsoever.

So today's an anniversary to the anniversary of the pledge of allegiance being first published in the youth's companion magazine September 8th, 1892. And we have elected representatives in this country who have been brought up in an education system that has taught them that reciting the pledge is not unifying and requesting that the pledge be recited at their board meetings is offensive.

19:59She's offended by this. And if if if people keep requesting that she say the pledge, then by by golly, she's lost the plot. She's she's lost the plot. And then she deflects to black people are going to lose voting representation in this country. And it's nothing but a lie. Every aspect of it is a lie. And this is this is who we have here. We we've elected these people. And and they've come through a system. Well, by the way, an education system. But by the way, today's another. Today's another history class. 1636 1636 September 8th. The general court of Massachusetts appropriates some money to start Harvard College. 1636 Harvard College.

21:02It doesn't have the name Harvard there in the in the onset it gets its name Harvard from the minister who donated his property books and the like to the college and they name it after him. And Harvard starts out as a college designed to provide a classical education. It's a college that starts out teaching Latin. They teach Greek. They teach and trained ministers of the gospel. That's how Harvard begins a minister, by the way, donate his books to Harvard. Classical a classical education. And are they getting a classical education at Harvard anymore? No, that they're not educating people to come out and. And despise the the pledge of allegiance. I don't know if this lady here went to Harvard.

22:02I don't I don't know what her education is. I mean, she's she came through a system. That despises the country. That's for sure. It's not patriotic. It's not a classical education. And that's how Harvard was originally bounded. A classical education was was being provided. It was being given. At what point did it change? I don't know. We'd have to really dissect the history to determine a date or even just a period of time. There probably isn't a date, but there's there's a time period where things begin to change over there at Harvard. Where people antithetical to the country's findings understood that the only way to change the game here is to infiltrate education. That's how we do it. That's that's how it's done. You want to change something? You start with education. In this country's education was founded. It was started on something very beautiful.

23:07Something that pursued truth. Something that pursued goodness. Something that pursued morality and virtue. It was tied to religion. Essentially. Religion, morality and knowledge show forever being encouraged. And therefore education made it to its air phrasing that not doing a very good job of it, but it's the Northwest Ordnance. And if this is one of our organic laws, the Northwest Ordnance, it's one of our founding laws. It described how territory would become a state in the Union. And these territories and becoming states needed to provide an education for their citizenry that included religion, that included morality, that included knowledge. This is it. This is the Northwest Ordnance. And that education has been completely overrun. It's been completely overtaken.

24:17All right. That brings me to this piece here by Alex Newman and the Liberty Sentinel. And he describes here this case. He says a pair of Lincoln families have brought this case, what Columbia Law School Professor Philip Hamburger has been arguing for years, which is the government school monopoly. It's not merely a bad policy. It's an unconstitutional machine for substituting the government's speech for the speech of parents. No. Now I know the Northwest Ordnance described an education system that needed to unfold. It needed to happen. But Philip Hamburger here is arguing that because the government school system, the public education system has a monopoly on what is being told to young people.

25:27He's saying essentially it's the government speech substituted that for the parent speech. This is an interesting concept right here. Just a couple of weeks ago, August 3rd, the new civil liberties alliance filed Jacobson versus Spellerburg and Lancaster County Nebraska in district court. The plaintiffs are Justin Jacobson and Timothy and Joanna Mentor. They're challenging the state's combination of compulsory school and public school funding. They are represented by the organization that Hamburger founded and they contend that Nebraska abridges their First Amendment right to educate their own children. The argument, of course, should sound familiar to those of us who have watched this in 2021.

26:32Hamburger wrote in the Wall Street Journal that government schools are unconstitutional because they unduly pressure parents into substituting their own speech when it comes to their children for government speech they disagree with. Interesting. Education he notes consists mostly in speech. And parents, not bureaucrats, possess the liberty to decide to decide what their children hear. The public school system then by design pressures parents to substitute government educational speech for their own. These are Hamburger's words. This is his argument. Government education he said is a benefit tied to an unconstitutional condition. And this case has now been brought in a Nebraska court.

27:35State law requires parents to enroll children in a public, a private, a denominational or a parochial school or to homeschool them. Fail to obey and you face a class three misdemeanor, which includes up to three months in jail and a $500 fine. That's clear. Yet the only education the state actually funds, which in Nebraska is roughly 19,000 per pupil. And that was from 24 or 25. The only state education that they fund is available to families who surrender their children to government classrooms. And therefore government points of view. Leave and you keep paying for the system that you have fled. It doesn't matter. They're still going to take your tax dollars. 19 grand per student. It's not a choice. According to the plaintiffs.

28:36It's coercion, masquerading as a public service. And considering the role that education plays and shaping the hearts and minds of children, the issue is far more critical than other government activities. We know this. We know the role education plays. We know it's soul forming. We know it's heart shaping. We know it's it's mind shaping. The Jacobson and the mentor families also understand the cost. Both previously enrolled older children in Lincoln public schools, then pulled them. Rather than accept the indoctrination that the government schools was perpetrating upon their kids that also contradicted their own personal values. Jacobson has four school age children. Some are now in private school, ones at home school. And one also still remains in the district. The mentors home school their kids.

29:38Joanna mentor is not employed outside the home. So she has the ability to teach her own children. A full private school course through high school in Nebraska, meanwhile, can exceed $100,000 for the whole time that the child in school. So in other words, homeschooling costs, families. And both in terms of lost income because one parent has to stay home as well as cash because you are sending money to a system that you're not being a part of. Despite the added costs, those families are still forced to finance the very educational speech they rejected by removing their children from the system. Jacobson has described the problem without euphemism. He says schools push sexual things on kids, which is child abuse. It's in indoctrination.

30:44He said they also routinely put down police officers. They put down ice officers. They traffic in race-baiting narratives and they present the United States as the worst ever. We see that unfold. We're watching that unfold in Georgia here at this this board meeting where the lady is offended because citizens are asking that they start their board meeting with the recitation of the pledge. And she says, this isn't unifying. You know, why why doesn't the country pledge its allegiance to me to its citizens? It never has and it never will. She believes the United States is the worst ever because she was educated to believe that. Jacobson is 100% correct here. And his arguments here are not incidental disputes over textbooks. They are competing sermons about God, about sex, about nation, and about the human person.

31:49We're getting competing ideas here about all of these things. But only one side gets to have the tax collector force, which holds the power to force everyone to pay to propagate its view. And that side is the side that's paid for by the citizens to the government side. It's the public school side. The NC LA general council, Zanette Brown, but the constitutional point clearly. Zanette Brown said education happens through speech. Every lesson taught, every book selected, every idea discussed, discussed, and every value emphasized conveys a message to the child. And parents, not the government have the legal duty and the primary right to provide or select the educational speech that their children should receive.

32:54Litigation council Christian place added the doctrine that should decide the case. Clay said the unconstitutional conditions doctrine exists to stop the government from doing indirectly, what it cannot do directly. Nebraska, he then said, cannot ban parents from teaching their own children their own values. So instead it penalizes them for exercising that recognized right. Hamburger himself said the state presses parents to give up their own choice of educational speech and to substitute not just government teaching, but government teachings. The precedent cited by the plaintiffs are well known to lawyers and judges. The theory, however, isn't as a novel one. And it's this, the Supreme Court has never held that the Constitution requires states that fund government schools to provide equivalent educational benefits to parents who reject government educational speech.

34:03But the plaintiffs argue that several established lines of Supreme Court precedent lead directly to that conclusion. Meyer, V. Nebraska, this case is from 1923. It recognized the parents natural duty to educate. Pierce V. Society of Sisters 1925 smashed Oregon's attempt driven by Democrats in the Ku Klux Klan to force every child into government and indoctrination centers. West Virginia, V. Barnett, for Bayed official orthodoxy in the classroom. Will he be Maynard, barred the state from compelling a message? Perry V. Sinderman, for Bay dangling a public benefit on the surrender of speech. Even recent parental rights rulings, including Mahmoud V. Taylor reinforced that the state does not own the child's mind. Hamburger's 2021 essay also recalled the storted origins of the government school project, according to Newman here.

35:11Controversial figures, figures seeking to remake children in their own image were behind the push. In Oregon a century ago, the purpose was forcible conversion by capturing the young. The Supreme Court protected private schools in the Pierce case. It did not, however, dismantle the funding trap that still punishes parents who used the private schools. Because they're still paying for the public education. Hamburger in his essay is right that the freedom belongs to all the parents, not only the religious, and that free speech more completely explains this educational liberty. Newman points out here that while Hamburger is correct in his assumptions, he's not so reliable on history as it comes to Horace Mann. Horace Mann, who is often described as the founder of America's government school system.

36:16Mann was not a Protestant crusader seeking to convert Catholic children. I don't know if that's what Hamburger claims. In fact, Mann rejected Orthodox Christianity. Instead, he chose a utopian scheme of unitarianism that has proven disastrous. The modern government school is the heir of that utopianism, not of historic Christian catechisms. That's what we were getting. We had historic Christian catechisms before Mann came along and corrupted the public system with this utopian idea of socialism, Marxism. Other serious lawyers according to Newman have reached the same destination that government schools are unconstitutional. This is, I'm telling you what, this theory, this idea, this case here, it's intriguing. I'm interested in it.

37:17And I want to know who these other attorneys are, who believe that government schools are in a sense unconstitutional. But I'm going to write a break here. So we're going to pause for a minute.

Again, he's titled it Nebraska Court to Decide if Government Education is unconstitutional. And he notes here and I mentioned this as we were coming out of that or going into the break here. That other serious lawyers have reached this same conclusion that government schools are indeed seemingly unconstitutional. He cites former attorney general Bill Barr. He says that Barr argued that the government education systems hostility towards Christianity itself may render the whole arrangement unconstitutional.

40:22I mean, it is antithetical to Christianity. It's antithetical to your first amendment not only to speak freely but have the freedom to express your religious points of view, but you can't do that within our education system. Liberty University Law Professor Jeffrey Tumalla, Newman says, has gone even further. Contending that tax funded schooling is a violation of religious liberty and the establishment of religion as prohibited by the Constitution. So he's referencing even the establishment clause. He says civil government has no jurisdiction over the mind. And yet government schools have become the chief means by which all levels of civil government have established religion in the United States. Tumalla has offered exhaustive legal studies on this issue.

41:25Newman says that only privately funded schools and churches fit the first amendment's actual design. And he's citing again Tumalla's arguments. Tumalla cite numerous constitutional framers and their arguments about religious liberty and his defense of that statement. The Nebraska plaintiffs are not asking the court to read a voucher statute or to micromanage Lincoln's curriculum. Instead, what they're asking for is a declaration that the present scheme of bridges free speech. And they're asking for an injunction against conditioning educational benefits on surrender of parental speech. They're asking for damages equal to the per pupil subsidy. They are forced to fund until the children graduate earn a GED or turn 19.

42:25The legislature can then decide how to stop violating the Constitution. Okay. So they're looking for, I don't know 19 grand per pupil per year. That's what they want. They want that back. Of course, the vouchers are the fashionable answer here, even though the Nebraska plaintiffs aren't seeking a voucher system. Both Bill Barr and Hamburger have both gestured toward the tax-funded school choice option. But government money is never truly free. There's always strings attached. The treasury to private and home education and the regulators are going to follow this could and would turn independent schools into replicas of the indoctrination centers that families are fleeing. So voucher systems according to Newman are not the answer and I agree with you.

43:28I don't know that they are anytime that you get government funding. You're going to have government strings. He says that Hamburger offers a better suggestion. Tax exemptions for dissenting parents. Now right now there's a tax, the education tax freedom act, which was part of the big beautiful bill, which goes into place on January 1st, 2027. That gives you a $1,700 tax credit, $1 for a dollar. When you donate to the private school of your choice, however, I don't know that Hamburger, when he says tax exemption for dissenting parents, it sounds like. Sounds like he's wanting the whole kitten commoodles. So if you're in Nebraska, you'd get tax exempt $19,000. Not $1,700. Hamburger says this would let families keep more of what they earn without handing the administrative state a new leash.

44:34If that can be done without compromising independence of private schools and homeschooling, it would accelerate the stampede already underway the exit from public schools that were already witnessing this would indeed accelerate. It's interesting to see what the education tax freedom bill or law is going to do in terms of the accident, in terms of the stampede. Newman notes that regardless of what the Nebraska court rules, government schools remain a bad and an unbiblical idea. The scripture assigns the formation of children to their parents, not to Caesar. A century and a half of compulsory tax funded schooling has produced functional illiteracy, official hostility towards the faith that built Western civilization.

45:38And a generation according to Newman catacquized and race obsession and sexual confusion. He's not wrong. 100%. He's not wrong. You know, he he he offers the that the Newman report. That's part of the Liberty Sentinel. He's written. He's written. Several books that attest to this very fact. I've had Newman on the show and we've we've talked about this very thing. This is what happens when a deliberate plan to transform society uses the government to usurp the place of fathers and mothers. If declaring the scheme one constitutional is what it takes to stop compelling parents to pay for the corruption of their own children. Nebraska's court should say so for us to the country, then should be next.

46:40And today would be a good day to start today would be an excellent day at the start of this 20 26 20 27 school year. Let's let's put this on the table. Unleashing a new voucher program. Newman says will not solve the problem. It may make it worse by entangling private and home education with government. And that's not really an answer. The only answer is a full restoration of parental responsibility over children's education. That is that is the one thing that'll do. Anything less than that is. It's not an answer at all. Now again, we're looking towards this. This this one big beautiful bill here. That's what we're looking at to to provide a dollar for dollar tax credit of $1,700. And it's going to be interesting to see where this takes us again. As I mentioned this see what's the exit is going to look like.

47:48What's the stampede going to look like? Is it going to worsen? It's my prediction that the stampede worsens. It's not going to happen right on January 1st. It's going to it's going to take some time, but it's once this once this news gets out there and once money begins to fill the coffers of private education. And these these schools start start growing their scholarship fund. They're financial scholarship base. We're going to see an exit us. That's my prediction. We're going to watch this thing unfold. Okay, today's last last and final history class of the day. Again, today September 8th. We talked about 1892. The pledge of the legions being published. We talked about 1636. The formation of Harvard College.

48:57Let's go all the way back to 1565. 1565 long before. Uh, Limuth Rock. Long before Jamestown. September 8, 1565. A Spanish expedition. Founded the first permanent European settlement. And first Roman Catholic parish in the United States. At Saint Augustine, Florida. Saint Augustine. This is it. Saint Augustine is is the originality here. It wasn't founded by the English. So quite often it's ignored. It was founded by the Spanish. 1565. But it's ours. Saint Augustine belongs to us. Florida of course belongs to us. And it's it's interesting to know that it was founded.

50:04Not only as the first European settlement, but as the first Roman Catholic parish, the first settlement in North America was was a Roman Catholic parish designated as a place of Christianity. And that's the root here. It's the roots of the country. Christianity is is is the roots. It's our foundation. Of course, James town followed. Limuth Rock followed. Other settlements followed. People came here because they wanted religious and civil liberty. New England colonists fled here because that's what they wanted. Religious and civil liberty.

51:04And when the country was then established and founded, thanks to a birth certificate. And there were other principles that were laid out. The principle of equality that all men are created equal. The principle of an alienable right that were endowed by our creator with certain an alienable rights. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And the principle that government is to operate under the consent of the governed and their chief responsibility is to protect and to defend those rights. That's what the country was founded on. And that's what the Marxist despise. What the socialist despise. And young people today are being educated to despise those things. They're being educated to despise life. They don't think that life is precious. They don't consider it to be precious. And the womb are otherwise.

52:11They don't consider liberty to be to be precious. Liberty is under assault constantly. And it's it's excused away. It's excused away by by statements that play upon our economic woes and our economic fears and that, you know, economically, you're not going to be able to make it. So you better rely upon the government. You better allow the government to step in, allow the government to run grocery stores because private individuals who run these stores are evil. They're they're evil and they're just in it for greed and they're they're and you're suffering. You you are out there suffering because of their greediness these these greedy greedy S.O.Bs.

53:12When it when it fact it's it's not their benevolence that gives us bread in the morning. It's not the the benevolence of the of the baker that gives us bread. It's not the benevolence. The farmer that gives us milk and cheese. It's not the benevolence of the butcher that that gives us meat. It's it's only the their own individual desires to succeed. It's it's their own. I mean, some would on the left and socials would call it selfishness, but it's it's not selfishness. It's it's rugged individualism. It's it's their desire to make their life better. Make the lives of their of their families better. And that rising tide lifts all boats. It makes the life of the community better and we all we all prosper and we all do well because of individuals who are seeking their own interest.

54:16If everybody would seek their own interest. Oh, I mean, to think about it, we all have this opportunity to seek our own interest if we all did. And and we all act and I'm talking economically here. I'm talking interest that aren't going to aren't going to end fringe upon the rights of anybody else. I'm not going to harm anybody. But economically, if we're out there pursuing our own interests, then we're going to provide for other people. Other people, then are going to be that they're going to receive the fruits of our labor. And while they are serving their own interests, those results, those fruits are going to allow others to then pursue their own interests. It's trickle down. I don't care what you call it. It's it's a beautiful thing. Whether you call it trickle down or the rising tide lifting all boats. It capitalism is wonderful.

55:17I don't think we should despise the wealthy. We shouldn't despise the millionaires, the billionaires, the trillionaires. Because they are, yeah, they're they are working to serve their own needs and their own desires and their own interests. But then that work is helping all of us. And that's not what young people are taught. Unfortunately, they're taught the opposite. They're taught to hate. They're taught to be envious. They're taught to be jealous of the wealthy. And that's what communism is. It separates us. It separates the classes through envy and jealousy and it's doing the same thing now racially. That's the objective. That's that's the game plan here that socialists are going after. And it's our objective to educate otherwise. That's that's what we're doing here. We're out here educating otherwise. All right, I only got to, wow, we covered history class, the rice, we covered an article.

56:18And we only got to one clip though. I had other clips I wanted to get to maybe maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day. I don't know. We'll we'll do our best to go after it.
