Hey podcasters, we have a great podcast for you today. First, we start with a look at the past.
Two thousand and eight am an Obama, had huge crowds, two thousand
steam drum pad huge crowds, Trump,
two thousand and twenty apparently
crowds. You know it's strange
Obama in twenty twelve, not so much. What is it that is fueling trump and do the Democrats
anything to stand against that machine. We talk about
that also kind of have to take
AOC out to the woodshed? I tried to contain myself
he's taken a rake to the face more than once. I think she might have been born in a rake factory and
it started when she took her first few steps and those ranks has been hit her in the face until she just doesn't know what truth is anymore. I try to explain it to her onto
this program, plus an amazing woman story about recovery, David Barton with some
never heard about the american slave trade as we get ready for our museum and so much more all on today's podcast.
So last night I saw I saw Donald Trump's rally and-
and I just saw the just- saw the the pictures of Donald Trump's rally and I thought wow now I want to take you through and and I'm gonna described these, but if you're a subscriber to the blaze. This is the time your
you're going to really appreciate your subscription, because I want you to see these pictures, but I'll describe them if you're, just listening to us on radio here is a picture that I had no problem finding at all, no problem
finding from two thousand and eight. This is but
Obama during the during his election. Ok, we all remember that.
I think this one is up in. I think this is Wisconsin. I could be wrong. I think this is Matt.
A lot of people there I mean. There's a big turn, a lot of people lot of people. We remember that right now,
If you remember he had massive crowds in two thousand and eight when he was first elected when he first
was running massive crowds, then what happened? Let me go to picture two now. Google did not help me find
any of these- oh I'm sorry! This is these- are the Trump rallies. Okay free
a twenty. Sixteen and you'll see a lot of people right same kind of picture. Is it
gigantic crowds in multiple venues in all the country, multiple venues right, and so
you know that Obama had them in eight and we know that Trump had them in twenty? Sixteen. Now, let's go back and see what
happened after four years of Obama. How was
the health of of Obama's the coalition? Here's a the next picture? Now you could? You could say that this is this. Is the stadium? Is you know, half full, I would say
it's half empty. In fact, I would say it's more than half empty because you'll see they curtained off the other part.
The of the arena
so they're not even use their using a quarter of the arena and only about
what would you say one slash four of it is full half of
is full, maybe half, but I think it's less than half yeah
I mean it's still have half of half of a quarter. We should say we're at eight
a quarter of an arena. Okay,
So if you remember, he started doing these things and he's like oh boy, we're in trouble, and so we scaled it back. Here's the next photo again. You are not going to find these on. Google, oh
look at. We really should stop doing arenas, because this one is more than half empty of one slash four next one.
So, let's scaling back, let's start doing public parks
under a gazebo. If you
see this picture, there's probably I'm going to be generous and say four hundred people there.
But you see on the other side of the gazebo, there's no buddy
There's nobody around. It's not like people are, you know really
straining to see him you're right up next to him in a gazebo. Next one has he started to put a mariachi band out front as a people were gathering. This is shortly before President Obama in his re election.
And pain, came into the room and and they had a mariachi band and even that wouldn't attract anybody. Next. This is Donald Trump. Last night, this
Donald Trump last night, it looks a little like what Donald Trump had in twenty. Sixteen.
Now you tell me that Joe Biden can attract that you tell
that Joe Biden has any of that fervor. In fact, I'll go a step further.
You have with Joe Biden situation that I think is going to rapidly decay. I don't know if you've heard the late
just on Joe Biden but from the
Washington Post, Joe Biden Wistful
recalled on Tuesday, an era in which he was able to get along with segregationist senators. Even
they didn't agree on on much disk
and criticism from his party's left wing flank that he's two Concilia Tori Tord's political adversaries, the former vice president, told a crowd
about one hundred people. Let me say that again, the former
is president told a crowd of about one hundred people that one of his strengths was bringing people together. He knows that this makes
old fashioned in the eyes of Democrats,
but he remained adamant that political fellowship of that sort maintained with white supremacists in the 1970s, was not just possible in today's climate, but it is the best answer to the forces Eleve.
And President Trump. If we can reach a consensus in our system, what happens here
and goes on to talk about how he was uh?
I did the late Senator James Eastland of Mississippi and Herman Talmage of Georgia, who are both steadfastly uh
close to civil rights, an Rachel and race.
Full integration. I was in a caucus with James Eastland Biden, said where he was introduced by so and so the democratic presidential candidate who had been who led his competitors in early polls of the Blah blah blah blah blah.
He said he, then he impersonating the southern drawl of Mississippi cotton Planner and he said he
who are called me boy. He told me always called me: son, ok, well, you're white, Senator
You see that there was a slam when you called somebody boy. You are using
talking to a black man, and that was a demeaning slam against you pay your white
course. He never called you boy, you were white, so
this guy that he was holding up and saying I had a friendship with I I could get along with and we could work together. He thought that black Camaro
pins belong to an inferior race and warned that
Gratien would cause Mongrelization Biden, remarked uh. That.
I've been around so long. I worked with James Eastland,
even in the days when I got there. Listen to this, the Democratic Party still had seven or eight old fashioned democratic segregation list, you'd get up and argue like the dead
with them, but then you go down and have lunch or dinner together. Okay, hang on just a second. There is something about hey. I disagree on tax policy. I disagree on what we should do with the war.
There's a huge difference between oh by the way. I don't think these people over here are people. I don't know. If we, you know it's not like hey. I I set with Hitler and I
argued all day and all night, but then we had a delightful time and having
you know, having some Jasson Pfeffer watt. This goes back to a fundamental truth about Joe Biden running for president. Is that he's not
good at running for president, like he's already tried it, he loses every time he tries it. This is this could go s quickly, it could it could. This is,
by the way from the Washington Post, where he's holding up? First of all, he's he's
he's blowing a hole through the line that it was Republicans that were all the segregation list? No it
is still the Democrats. The Democrats in the 60s were
dealing with the clan. Ok,
there was no migration over to the Republican Party. That didn't happen,
and here he is a qualifying that and saying yes, that's you know they still had. We still had seven or eight. You know hardline segregation list who didn't even see black people as black people, but I had dinner with them. I could work with him. That was great. Ok, wait a minute! Hang on just a second. What does that say about how you can't talk to Donald Trump? You could have dinner with people who didn't think people were people, but you can't talk to Donald Trump. He is just too extreme. Where are you coming from it is? It is remarkable to me by the way another thing the press should be
earned about. The Democrat should be concerned about the day before he launched his his rally. Trump raised a record. Twenty four point: eight million dollars one
day before so
He launches his campaign and he raises a record of twenty four point: eight million dollars I'd say: there's some passion there I'd say: there's some passion by the way we're going to go through some of the audio here in just a second, but I thought it was also interesting that Donald Trump is is on the campaign trail. He starts he raises wreck
amounts he has crowds that I have not seen a president ever have in re election and I've only seen one other president get it, and that was Barack Obama, who was the first black man in history to be a president that faded quickly? This is an fading. How? How are the Democrats going to be able to do this when they're in fighting, and I'm telling you even if Joe Biden gets the nomination, he's going they're going to be infighting? Look at how far to the center he's trying to run, and even in that article from the Washington Post it talks about how he is trust brushing by the leftists so he's the he doesn't care.
Or what the left is saying. Apparently we know that's not true, because he changed his long term stance on abortion, so he does care about that. But do you really think that the people who support Bernie Sanders are going to be supporting Joe Biden? I don't think so because they actually believe in
evolution and they don't see him as a revolutionary.
You see him as Makron in France,.
He'll be another Makron for anybody who is actually on the left,
the best of the Glenn Beck program,
hey
it's Glenn, and if you like it here on the program, you should check out pad great on leased. His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcasts. Let me let me give you some audio. This is C n N, as they cut away from the Trump rally. I can't imagine why they were cutting away the sin of this twenty. Sixteen was not merely another four year election. This was a defining moment in american history.
Ask them right there
back there. That's all right! We've been watching the president kick off his reelection.
It has been always thinking about six minutes within two minutes. He did talk about the economy about within four minutes. It was attacks on the media, so he was talking about a bright rosy future, but then quickly reverted to some of the same themes he's been talking about since he began running for years ago. Today, yeah it really
Is it an attack on the media? Did you notice that still is really attack on up on CNN Cnn to play there yeah yeah? I know they do when they were chanting. Cnn socks. I don't think that was the media. That was that was CNN and apples being apples. You probably don't want to pull out of Kerr.
Urge, especially when they're guys talking about you right, like that's sort of a banana
to do, isn't it suchat hide the fact that you're being attacked
I honestly don't even understand it. I mean. Obviously there audience is going to be pleased that Donald Trump does not
for them. So why try to pull out and hide that? And I don't even understand the reasoning, I think, because I think because you'll notice they they dump the the video and the audio is soon as the attack stopped. So I think, if I mean this is this is backseat drive in giving them a lot more credit
and they probably deserve, but I, if, if I were making the call, I would be like hold hold hold
the minute he changes. Subject. So he's off of us go uh. However, I that's
them. I mean that's giving them CNN superpowers. I just don't think that's why
we were scrambling. They were planning on doing there like get back at the desk it back at the desk. You gotta go, go, go, go, go, go and he changed subs
as they left it must? It must be beside the average CNN viewer, though, because when you get basically- and this is CNN and Msnbc- but you get basically this
and barrage that everyone is abandoning trumpet ever in there. He has no supporters anymore. He brought this up at the beginning. I mean I don't think, there's any question that Donald Trump has massively passionate supporters. Well, yeah, like they're they're, you know they have not in the the ninety percent of them plus have not faded
from their passion for Donald Trump. The question is: does he have a large enough group of passionate people to win the election
and obviously that's going to be what the answer that you know where to get that in eighteen months, but it means
The idea that you're going to say that, like he doesn't have these passionate supporters and they don't care, is
it's an asinine argument. I mean that's, that's his whole. His whole thing, the question is: is it will it influence people, and I think it will? You know Don Imus taught me something long time ago. He said if you don't have thirty percent of the audience that hates you the available audience that hates you
you're not doing anything. You're, not you're, not being different enough you're. Not you know you you,
twenty percent of the audience is what provides fuel for the other seventy percent, and he didn't mean it like- go- go big people Pist off
it cetera. He was just like you're, not saying anything. If you don't have you know it least
he you know some people that really dislike you, so Donald Trump he's he's got a problem. Thirty percent of the people, who really don't like him now he's, also got about thirty percent of the people who love him. That was done as other piece of advice.
Only if you have that polarization only if you have that real people who are just like I did this, this guy really acts me off. Will you have the passion of the audience? Maybe thirty percent- that will say I love this guy and it's the effect.
Of the. I love this guy that will sway the rest of the audience. Now. Here's here's the problem with Donald Trump Donald Trump has
media and the media will expand it all of the hatred of Donald Trump there
going to be pushing that out. So, as as his thirty percent that love him create this atmosphere of
of wow there's something exciting going on over here, which is important
the same time. The media is going to be tearing it apart and saying: no, no look at all the people that hate him. Well, I got news for you.
The media is not who they were in twenty. Sixteen who
watching CNN literally.
This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
You know, I didn't have a lot to say on Father's day and I was I was I was going to and then I didn't as a as a dad. I am working so hard to be a good dad and I fail so often, but I'm trying to be a better man every day, if you're a long time listener this program. You know that my dad and I didn't have a close relationship and I
growing up it was a very complicated family is a mess and then my dad and I got very close and he was my hero. When my thirties and early forties, he was my hero and then we had to confront abuse and my dad was revealed to me to be a monster. I mean a monster and I've never talked about it and I will some day some day, but I've had a re varied in difficult time. In the last few years, dealing with this and- and I thought my family was a shipwreck- we had a- we had a family therapist. We all went through therapy for this
recently. She said I've never seen a shipwreck of a family like this before, just as just on the rock shipwreck, and there's always somebody who can show you a bigger ship wreck and I picked up a book recently. It's called climbing out of the wreck and I picked it up and it's one of those books that it doesn't take too long to read, and you start to pick it up, and you are just you're amazed by the story and you don't put the book down until you're finished and it's also one of those books that you read and you're like. Ok, please have a happy ending and it does. It is a very brave tale told by somebody who is
under a pseudonym Christine Stein and she joins us now, hello, Christine. How are you hi Glenn? Thank you for having me on. I really appreciate it uh.
It was really deeply moved by your story and the courage that it took
to be who you are today. Can you just give the audio
so a little brush of of your childhood?
This started. I want to say I'm so sorry that you had to go through a hard childhood. I know what that's all about
uh my father was a sexual predator. An my mother was an alcoholic drug user. So
I can just imagine what that was like um for children to go through. It
could be even hard for an adult to take it all all in
it was a nightmare, you know, but we did have time
that we had love in our family. I did get that at times, but then there were these other times.
No child should have to ever go through
I'm in your father. If this thing go ahead, your father, your father, was sexually abusive two year, your sisters and it even went to court and your mother TED
defied against your sister, even though she knew it was true. Yes, you know the sad thing about this Glenn. There is that's not just like that. Just happened that it happens,
why there's a lot of mothers that were Petagno, the husband you know or the boyfriend that is sexually abused, their child, but my mother did
and I think my mother was such a lost soul in so many ways, but my
other her childhood was my grand father had raped her
all her sisters and he was an alcoholic raging alcoholic. So you know there's no excuse
for her behavior at all, but when I was at a point in my life that I stood back and I said who are these people that have abused
he's so much an my siblings, I started
looking into really what they came from and
my mother came out of a horrible situation and uh
the other hand. My father was educated, have loving parents and it just didn't make any sense.
They couldn't really wrapped their heads around. You know later on
finding out what he was up to so you know, you know you can kind of say some
board is born evil. You know and that's the only way I could drive that
I think my mother situation is what you're taught and she passed it. You know on, she never got therapy
deal with it and then she went on to
when I was about fourteen years old. She was taken away. She she
after mine and I didn't see her for almost a year, but I would see her often all, but she didn't come back to the house
and uhm. She was a different person. You know, 'cause. There was times that my mom could really
be wonderful and then there was times with the alcohol and her
pression an the drugs. On one time I watch my mother tried to kill herself in the bathroom. When I was about
seven years old- and you know you know,
you should have to see their mother try to do something like that. It was pretty devastating, but she twice
twice in her life. She tried to kill herself and it was it's very painful
because I love my mother,
so I'm I'm hold on to the good parts of my mom. But you know these other things. I want peace
to understand, uhm. I guess people like us that
you know when we go through something that we are scarred and we are traumatized, and you know we are still fighting those
those scars and they kind of open up at Times Christina. I 'cause I went through this with my dad and I my father was raped when he was young and had a horrible, horrible childhood, and so I attached
compassion and I loved my data and I love my dad that he was working to conquer it and
Anne at one point in his life he just gave up and it was about time he was about seven thousand and seventy five years old he just gave up and he became an absolute monster. An I'm.
I'm struggling a you know it well. It was with Tony Robbins and he reminded me of a lot of the good stuff. My father taught me and because I had forgotten some of the
things or I dismissed those things. Those I just took my dad's teachings and everything and threw it out the window, and I just rejected everything, as he said was it was a lie and I'm starting to put those things in order again. But that's
really difficult. Have you it is. I you know I can you know there. Was there all just breaking down? I went to visit
my mother and my dad was there, and this is you know, I'm about two thousand two hundred and twenty three at this time I go in. I have a son at this point. He he
Little boy and I go in there and I could tell my father- was ready to attack me cycle.
I just knew it was going to happen and he started
attacking me and then asking me sexual questions and saying who are you? What are you and something took over?
I look at a man, I said I know, I'm not you. I never will be you and you know you what you taught me is not to be you within you know, like I say less than ten minutes, I got a
my water out of the house with my son. I went to the car and I you know I was crying
it's pretty emotional when you have apparent attacking you like that
which I had it all my life. It was years of this. My son looked at me,
music. I know who you are mommy. I love you. I think you're wonderful and I thought to myself.
Been in that nightmare of that man that has abused me
search all my life and then I go,
in ten minutes is something that loves me and shows me. I I can do the right thing and live a great life. It really cycle
please show me, I don't have to put up that person. I don't
how much more than what this person would make me feel like garbage
that I was able to go on to have give life to
somebody that loves me and adores me, and it really pulled me through it. So it's
I don't like those little moments in life. That kind of tell you wow 'cause. It is- and I guess you know from your situation, you kind of slide back at times and you feel bad about yourself. You kind of reflect on what's happening.
Two or sometimes you react to things. You don't even realize it was something from your childhood.
It doesn't mean that we're not good people. I think you know
in my life I'm not cruel to people, I'm
she lived her life to trying to save things, animals and people kind of like I'm saving myself at times, so that urgent. I am a little addicted to it, because I want to fix it fast. Since I can't all right, because I guess somebody you know,
would you know I wish that somebody could come and help me. I remembered the police
toys in and out of our homes, 'cause the neighbor,
the neighbors would call-
and I remember one time a police officer came up to me and I was about seven
eight years old and my sister was with me and it was all
goodnight night my mother was wasted and screaming my father had came, and you know from God only knows where so the fight.
What's going on in at one point, my mom picked up a steak knife.
My mom would in her rage as she would pick up, knives and
Brighton MI.
Other US kids screaming at us with them that the officer came up to me and he
and then he was like. Are you? Ok, little girl and the whole time I wanted to say please take me with
just take me out of here, I'm so tired, but I said, oh, I'm, fine and people
to understand children why they do. That is because we're scared
leave everything that we know, even though it might be a nightmare, it's like you want out of,
but then you realized I'll be taking. You know from
Tom that I know my siblings and my parents can
be ok at times and you hold on to those things
no you're being abused Christine. I I would.
To figure out awake, so I know you're keeping your identity, 'cause, there's still there's still problems with the family and everything else I completely relate. I would love to find a way to way. We could keep your identity and I could sit down with the podcast and talk to you.
Because there's there's a lot of wisdom in your book and the good thing is: is we we've? Just we've just talked about the bad things there
There is a way out you did climb out of this reckon not all of your siblings have an and I understand,
yeah and it causes real problems with your siblings, and it's just you know.
Walking on eggshells doesn't ever seem to end
with you know like one of my sisters, you know she's homeless, she became a drug addict. She was uh,
beautiful, young girl and uh. The last time we saw in his few years ago I mean I hate to say it this way, but you know, teeth are missing out over. She had holes in her face and I could barely really communicate with her. All she wanted was money to get more drugs and I just had
stop the relationship, but she's very mean violent kind of person, and she chose
you know in my other siblings the difference between myself an
two of my other sisters. We want a good life and we want to give it to our children and we, you know, I realize if I stay a victim and angry
just going to pass that on to my child, and this is never going to stop
and you know I ended up pregnant uhm,
early twenties and I was innocent.
You know I had no business 'cause still
I was working through all these issues and going through
my environment was the greatest an IRA.
I went to the doctor thinking I was sick and he said Christine you're pregnant,
oh, no, no, no 'cause! It
family abortions were the norm. You know I took several my sisters there, my mother,
this was just my environment but
even really hit me hard, and I said in my car and I cried and now
imagine an God was in a big
in my family either. Actually my father would put people that believed in
searching down saying that they were work. People when he actually was. You know the sick person, but I
started to pray, even though I didn't really know how to pray. I just started saying: if there's a god, I need
I need help, because I'm scared- and I know I'm not here- to tell people what to do.
I'm not at all, but I'm just telling my story and something came over me and it became super clear and I just knew
can have this baby. I can work hard. I will help this baby.
This baby will never happen. You know
uh things that happened to me happened to it an
My son is thirty three now and he's a doctor, an he's in situations where he helps saves lives and he became a science
as well, and he studies cancer any
q and now work on. No, I haven't seen I would love to have. I would love to have you on a podcast because you're just beginning to tell the the great part of the story. I urge you to pick up the book. It is climbing out of the rack Christine Stein. It is it's a it's a it's! A tough childhood. You think you have somebody, your kids or anybody's has argued, are guarded so tough given this book and then
it shows how to climb out of the wreck. It's a fantastic book. It's climbing out of the rack by Christine Stine hope to talk to you again Christine. Thank you so much
you're. Listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program, this is the Glenn Beck Program and we're joined by David Barton and David.
You are very politically active and you see polls tell me tell me what the
the things that the President needs to stand on, to be able to win
like this two issues that he has opportunity to make a lot of ground on one
actually is socialism
we've seen our socialism is very interesting where it breaks demographically. You have about
forty one percent of Americans who support socialism. You have
sixty nine percent of millennials and seventy five percent of college students,
the younger the crowd, the more they support socialism, but
it's interesting is George Barnala love. Barnacles had never really stops with just a question of whole. He keeps asking questions find out if you know what you're talking about so he he found
forty one percent of Americans supported socialism,
and so he asked an additional forty plus questions about.
He just asked what it was he said: do you support
through government regulations, do so
or greater government ownership of private business etc.
It's also socialism. They founded the end. Only two percent actually supported socialism once they knew it once they just didn't, have a clue. So what we we found that you know surface polling the two when you
Ask people what is socialism in two biggest answers word that dealt with social media or that it dealt with
right and who's against sharing, so I'm for socialism yeah. So when you actually get into what it is, and so I think the president has a big opportunity to really gain ground effect.
Patient about socialism can go. Is part of what he's doing if you keep talking about it for the next several months and
Treimanis say: do you understand what socialism is? Do you understand what the free market what you lose? I think he has a big ground there.
I think the other big round he has is actually what he raised last night on abortion, how extreme it is. He talked about virgin
etc. We literally have seen that since Virginia Governor Northup said what he said since Cuomo did what he did. New York, other states have joined
we've seen that the pro lap position among Democrats is increased seventeen percent, which sets
massive among young
people, there was a forty points which, because they
really think about what abortion was in late term and so somewhere between seventy eight percent of the nation of opposes last trimester aboard
it's much less infanticide, so that
another issue that if he will stay on that and people talk about what this actually is and by the way Cuomo after he
is that Bill New York. His numbers plummeted to the lowest they've been in his entire term after he did that
and sensually infanticide bill in New York. So I think those are too big
opportunities he opportunity, so
I just got word that we have coming in for our museum. We have. Some
is the mother of one of the big survivors of the vocal Haram nightmare with
with Muslims coming in and just taking these these kids, you know and Michelle Obama
tweeting. You know we want our girls back well, we got some of them and we have we
one of the mothers coming in from Nigeria to talk about that. We have a couple of people that are going to be docents at this museum
because it's not our usual music. That's right!
This museum playing a little bit go ahead. Yeah this really.
How do we say that there's so much? We learn about history, that is history, but history
Is today,
I mean we will look at the african slave trade. Three hundred and fifty years twelve point: seven million Africans brought out of Africa into slavery in three hundred and fifty years. Ok, but
today there are forty million in slavery. Today, that's more than three hundred and fifty years african slave trade. What are we doing about it today?
And so when you, you can't really denigrate our game,
denigrate our founding fathers and say all they didn't do enough when
the problem is much worse and we're not even looking at it. That's right, David there's also we're going to clear up some things and I think we're going to make a few people mad with some of the stats, but they are official stats, for instance, the two that we keep coming
two or one. The slave trade in America was horrible, that's horrible, that's right, but
all those that
enslaved and brought across the ocean.
We were only four percent of the receivers yeah.
The number one was Brazil. Brazil was forty: six percent of all those carried out of Africa went to Brazil. Twenty six percent,
Great Britain. Ten percent went to Jamaica
going down the list where one of the smallest, unless it was set, an excuse, excuse what we had, but America,
English colonies in America. Three point three percent Denmark
at less than that so bored at the bottom, and that's still way too many shouldn't have happened, but there no excuse.
But what we also point out is there is never been any people in history.
The number one did not own slaves and two were not themselves that slaves at some time, and
so the american academic thing of slavery is absolutely wide on black and it's white privilege and etc. Statistic
that doesn't hold up, and, quite frankly, you had in that same period. Muslims captured one point: twenty five million slaves and most of them christian slaves.
They were doing religious slavery. We know that
this time of the civil war in South Carolina forty three percent of
free, blacks in South Carolina owned black slaves, and we know that with the indian tribes at the time of the civil war, one out of every eight among the-
five major indian tribes, they were black slaves. Endings were big owners of slaves. In matter of fact, when the 13Th Amendment was passed,
and apply to the indian nation, and so the indian nations had slavery much longer than we had in the 13Th Amendment
and you never hear any of this you
ever hear any of it and again will only get in trouble for those who think we're trying
excuse it and we're not we're not just trying to give perspective
to show you that history repeats itself and without true a true
balanced look at history. You can't do anything you're just going
trapped in the past. His
is being made right now today, David. How did how did it end in Brazil? How come how come somebody who takes forty six percent? We only take
four percent. Do they struggle with their their slave heritage?
They don't cover that in history, but Brazil still is a very high country for a high number of slaves. Today,
the things that we have is you come into. The museum is a map showing the
version of slaves at twelve point: seven million all the nations back then kind of shows a hotspot which will hot nations well there's
app today for the forty million and you look at the hot spots in Brazil is still a hotspot.
So it's not like that. They have gotten over this. This is still a very current thing. All across
Africa. There
places that were culprits. Three hundred
the Gore still culprits today. Quite frankly, it's it's also interesting.
This is just this. This you don't even leave the lobby or the first part of the. I think we were ever broken up in nine sections. We are only covering the stuff. That's in section
yeah. It really is there for literally minutes I mean this is section one. The fact that you know we fought a civil war. We had the 13th
which will be down in our studios. You'll, be able to see the the the actual document, and I think, the the Juneteenth,
a document as well as indicated. Juneteenth is when they at the NASA reach Texas, which is like a year and a half later that the thirteen the memo was signed. So is dementia patient proclamation, but we actually have
the pin that
you can use to sign the 13Th Amendment right. There with the 13th amendment, so it's it's really. Some amazing stuff is kind of a once in a lifetime kind of opportunity to see some cool stuff down
and we as we're doing this, you know we look at again our founders and we say you know they were horrible. Well, Mexico actually abolished slavery before
he did. Do you know the dates David? I don't remember the dates yeah technically on paper.
They abolished slavery.
Didn't really workout that way, because they had a ninety nine year, kind of exception or or by the way. If you own slaves, you can hold them up to ninety nine more years, but we're abolishing slavery, but you get to keep your slaves for one thousand, nine hundred and ninety
Isn't that pretty much what what what we get
yelled at four hundred with our founders when they made the compromise in the constitution and said, look we're going to phase out this part and we'll come back to it later,
I mean at least they didn't say and one hundred years later, then it's going to stop working. They were hoping that would stop earlier their abolition of the slave trade that they said in one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven. We want this ended, but by one thousand eight hundred and eight
the earliest of any nation I mean at Boston, slave trade, a were first on that were kind of
second, and actually abolishing slavery. We
are the only nation in the history of the world where that whites fault whites and into slavery for blacks
get so many first that don't get talked about,
but what happened? Even with the founding fathers in the slave trade, the problem
with academics. Today is that there is a northern view of slavery, war that, for example, Massachusetts and never was a time when blacks could not vote. You have
little view slavery in the middle colonies. You have a southern view, which is where the plantation slavery was all the abominations and
covers the southern view of slavery. We don't cover the middle called a view or the north, the call to do, and so we really do not teach an accurate view of history on what happened with the race, and you know
we're going to hope to do that, a in the muse and not hope to we're doing that museum, because we want truth. The truth is the objective we have right and again it
not to dismiss me know, that's right. This and
the whole point of the museum we haven't even gotten to yet
the point of the museum is, if you hate it so much,
why don't we all work together to stop it from happening today?
There's some stunning things that I'm I'm shocked that we have- and I think our are. This is not for your small kids. This is not for your small kids, but hopefully it will
will be another drop in the bucket to get people to act up mercury, one dot org is where you get the tickets David. Does a tour I'll do tours. Stew even does a tour, which I don't know what you're
learning that very little. We had a lot of fun yeah but it'll be fun it's. It is really something that we have worked very hard an. We have sweat blood
over this one, because we know how we know how dangerous this is. We know in this politically correct environment, to tell the fax that you've
never heard, never heard put it into perspective
and not dwell on that but say look this
the pattern that happened then look at the pattern. It's
running again now
doesn't have anything to do with race. Let's work together that so not a not a popular, not a popular thing, but we invite you to come and you can get your tickets at mercury, one dot org.
