    Darkness is not an affirmative force. It simply reoccupies the space vacated by the light. This is the Hamilton Quarter on American Family Radio home. It should be uncomfortable for a believer to live as a hypocrite. Delivery people out of the bondage of mainstream media. And the philosophies of this world. God has called you and me to be His ambassador. Even in this dark moment. Let's not miss our moment. and now the Hamilton Corner. Welcome to the program. Alex McFarland here. We've got a great show today. I'm honored to be sitting in for attorney pastor Abe Hamilton. We're going to talk about a number of things. And we've got some special guests. Later on in the program, we'll speak with John Hauser. He's the author of a book, The Destruction of Liberty, The Creation of the Socialist Aristocracy. And then right now we have Bill Federer. Bill is a longtime friend and colleague and Bill has got a number of resources that are just modern day classics in defense of God and country. One, socialism. Now listen to this subtitle by Bill Federer, socialism, the real history from Plato to the present, how the Deep State capitalizes on crises to consolidate control. Winston Churchill, one of my heroes I've written and spoken extensively on Churchill, but Winston Churchill said, socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. That's true. Why anyone would want to go there or promote that in what otherwise was a free, safe, prosperous America is anybody's guest. But as is so often the case, just a voice of reason, a voice of truth, and always enlightening history that we probably otherwise wouldn't have known. William J. Bill Federer, longtime friend and colleague. Bill, I know you're just getting off of an airplane.

  2. 2:13

    The Lord is using you all over the Western Hemisphere speaking before we dive into the subject on socialism and the threat it poses for our country. Tell us your website and for those who may be unfamiliar, tell us about the work you do as we welcome you to the program, Bill. Well, thank you, Alex. My website, AmericanMinute.com. AmericanMinute.com, and I send out a history email that gives history and light of what's going on today emphasizing the role of faith. It's the book, Socialism, the Real History from Plato to the present. It documents how Plato is the first one that talked about everybody owning everything in common. And it sounds good until you think it through. Somebody has to be in the government handing out the common stuff. And they're always going to give a little extra to their family and friends on the side and hold back from someone they don't like. And before you know it, it gets discretionary. And the saying is he who holds the purse strings has the power. So every attempt at everybody owning everything equally ends up with a deep state bureaucracy passing out favors to their friends and persecuting their enemies. And so socialism is a bait and switch for dictatorship. And you know, if democracies and republics are attempts to take the power of a king and give it to the people, what if the king wants it back? Does it just ask for it? So there's two methods, one fear. If you get the population into fear, they'll panic and trade their freedom for security. the second is free stuff. You have the government give out free stuff until everybody gets dependent and then you want some more free stuff. You're going to have to incrementally give up your freedom until your ... It's like a drug dealer takes over a neighborhood two ways. He comes in with guns, he gets people into fear and they submit to the mob and pay extortion protection money in exchange for being left alive. Or the drug dealer is so nice, he's giving away free drugs until you get hooked and then you want some more free drugs or you're going to sell yourself in the prostitution. And so America has experienced a free republic, but after every crisis we see power concentrating and fewer and fewer hands.

  3. 4:23

    And then we see this happening on a global level. And then we see dependency. And there's this effort to get as many people dependent on the government health care, government welfare, government entitlements. And then once they do that, they control you because they can threaten to cut those off unless you give them of the permission to track you and and take all your freedoms and so forth um... so what we're seeing in america is a reversion back to that the default setting for human government and and that's and socialism but social is really dictatorship it's a really class and though i have you have you been concerned again all of these uh... illegals coming in across the southern and to an extent northern borders as well. But the homeless encampments, Bill, as I travel, for years I've seen large homeless encampments in California. And I've preached in California about 30 different times over the last 15 years. And it's nothing to see homeless encampments in like San Bernardino and the Bay Area. But now in Atlanta, in parts of Texas, in Chicago, in parts of the continental US that you otherwise wouldn't have seen, do you believe all of these homeless encampments, the 8 million people that have come into the country illegally during the Biden administration, is this growing the base of the socialized masses? Do you believe that? Yeah, there's a couple different ways to answer that. One is if crime is allowed to go up in the big cities, some people feel unsafe and move out who? Well, pro-family people, right? You know when kids in a crime area, well, pro-family people, they tend to be a larger percentage Republican.

  4. 6:27

    Who else moves out? Well, pro-business people, if your stores are getting robbed and windows smashed police are being ordered to stand down and nobody wants to go shopping when there's uh... people wandering on the parking lot that could rob you and so if pro-business people leave will there are higher percentage republican was who's left in the big cities well more people better depend on the entitlements and handouts will there are higher percentage democrat and in election years whoever and everybody left the city their name stays on the voter rolls And so when there's an election year, whoever wins the big city, and somehow winning the whole state isn't that interesting. And whoever wins the stake, it's all the electoral votes for the state and the president's elected by electoral votes. So they literally have a political strategy to let crime go up in the big cities intentionally on purpose to cause pro-family, pro-business people to leave. And so they leave their names, they're on the voter roll, and then they can do voter fraud and nobody questions it. The other is elections and voting. I was in Texas. Louie Gomer came to hear me talk. I was in Tyler, Texas. And the organizer of the event said, you know, when you get your driver's license, you have a little box that you can check called Citizen. And when the people that come across the border get their driver's license, they can check that Citizen box. She said, I've asked everybody in the Texas government, is there anybody that checks to see if somebody checks the citizen box that they actually are a citizen she said nobody i've gone through all these departments in texas it's the honor system all they got to do is check that little box in their driver's license citizen and um... and so that the the by administration has people processing these people that come across the border and when they were asking my orchas if you're being registered to vote he says well i'm not in charge of voter enrollment it's like you you're not denying that and uh... and i have uh... reports that uh... the airplanes will land with the legal's and they'll pull past the terminal and park the plane and then buses come up and they put these people on the buses and then ship them to cities all around america and i was in so it's not like i n s hotel you know bill you know whenever i come back into america and i have to go through customs so you're saying that planes bringing but you know plain loads of passengers that are non-citizens pull pass the terminal they deep plane get on buses without going through customs and i and s like the rest of us correct it is tragic you know um... let me just say this i mean there there are political positions that we agree with or disagree with and You know policies that we think are good and think think are bad But the subverting of a nation the intentional, you know The the legal word I suppose is treason, but at the spiritual word. This is wickedness. Isn't it? This is darkness. This is evil Well when I wrote my book on socialism, I was studying the Cold War So, after World War II, you had brand new countries come into existence, right, that were part of these other empires.

  5. 9:55

    And so, Romania, Albania, the Yugoslavia, the different, you know, India becomes independent of Britain, countries in Africa. And the Soviet Union did not like these countries being free and electing their little free leaders. And so, they would do something called critical theory. it would send in kgb agents and all they would do is study and observe all the groups in the country and categorize them as victims and oppressors have and have not ethnically posnians croat serves religiously Sunni shea or that i can comically racially didn't matter and then they would hit them against each other to have protest and riots and destabilize the country and their goal was to get the rights to break into bloodshed once you get people emotional they're not going to talk reason anymore and my friend just got killed i want to sit and talk theory with you and and then once they're emotional then they can they want to channel that emotion and blame the new leader of the country for all the problems and so they co-op the media and with bribes and threats to blame this democratically elected leader for all these problems and as this leaders popularity drops they would do a coup or a rigged election and replaced the leader with a Soviet puppet. And country after country after country they're called color revolutions. And then our CIA learned how to do the same thing in reverse. And they helped in Egypt project FF overthrow Fwad and put in, you know, Nasser. But then the first one that we completely orchestrated was Operation Ajax overthrowing the leader of Iran. So the leader of Iran, 1953, was Mazid Deq, and he was beginning to side with the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union was our enemy, and we didn't like that. And so, Allen Dulles, head of the CIA, sends Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., the grandson of Teddy Roosevelt. He's an expert in foreign languages.

  6. 11:56

    He goes to Tehran, and he does the KGB thing in reverse. He recruits mobsters and gangsters and in radical imams and divides the country into groups and stages protests and riots and co-ops the media to blame mazadek for all these problems all these problems and mazadek's popularity drops and they do a coup but under house arrest lock them away and replacing with the show who loved america to we'll put him in but these tactics have been perfected for seventy years and under obama they began to be used against us on our own soil and let me ask you to be passed the uh... let me ask you this were months away from an election twenty twenty four what what hopes do you have that it will be an honestly to regardless of the the candidates are on either side because that's may be a bit of a uh... question but uh... how confident are you that it will be and honestly tabulated election yet so it's gone from got a vote we need churches to go out and get involved in the process and go through the training so you can be the person on the other side of the desk asking to see people's driver's license and they found just by having a couple Christians involved in the process makes it harder for them to do voter fraud only one run these ballots through the machines multiple times but there's a Christian over there with what you've got to hide one uh... the guy was uh... gentleman organized uh... in uh... state where they had dropped boxes and you're only supposed to drop off your own personal ballot And so he got wind that they were going to have these people, you know, these mules, these people dropping off handfuls of ballots. And so he organized these churches where they got guys with their lawn chairs and their iced tea and their cell phones. And they would just sort of sit there near the drop off box. And somebody would get out of their car with handfuls of these forged ballots and they would walk toward the drop off box and they would see these guys with their phones just sort of sitting there.

  7. 13:58

    And they would turn around and get back in their car and drive to another drop off box. box because they would get paid like $50 per fraudulent ballot. And then they would see some other guys, and then they would drive to another drop-off box and other. And then they threw their off their game and then the polling closed and they weren't able to drop off their ballots. And that's how in Virginia, you're one. But so these, it's not just go do your part and vote. No, it's get involved in the system. In some states, I was just in Oregon over the weekend. They allow ballot harvesting. One ballot harvesting. That's where you have somebody going collecting the ballots and turning them in. So they're telling their church members, you go through the training and you, and we're going to collect the ballots here at the church. We're going to have the church people go through the training and it's going to be legal. And you can add go to your neighbors and ask them to ask them. Hey, we got to take a break. Hang tight, Bill. We're going to come back. Alex McFarland here, we're talking with Bill Federer. Socialism. Will it be our future? Let's hope not. Shining light into the darkness, this is the Hamilton Corner on American Family Radio. Welcome back to the program. Alex McFarland here, the voice you heard in that first segment, that's a prolific author. Just honestly, one of the most brilliant analysts and thinkers that I know it's Bill Federer. His website is americanminute.com. and minute.com. I don't say this lightly, but Bill Federer is one of the people I urge you to own and read every book he writes. They're amazing. He's got a new book, Socialism, the Real History from Plato to the present. Now listen, how the Deep State capitalizes on crises to consolidate control. Bill, before the break, and sorry I had to cut you off, but we had this hard break, but you were talking about ways to be involved.

  8. 16:03

    And it seems daunting enough just to get people to vote. I was recently on a program with George Barna, and Barna was lamenting the fact that many, many, many Christians, conservatives and Christians don't vote. Many, many pastors don't urge their parishioners to vote. But you're saying not only should we vote, we need to be involved and volunteer at the polling places and watch the ballot boxes resume that line of thought if you would bill yet um... as more power concentrates into fewer hands globally god counterbalance is to get more people involved locally let me say that again as more power concentrates into fewer hands globally gods counterbalance is to get more and more people involved locally i'm convinced god wants to have an entire revival but it's not going to be through one or two preachers it's going to be through everybody being involved the body of christ being the body of christ and i and here foot right so the push is to get us involved you know i am have another book that's new it's called silencing cools consent of omission and it's this idea that the um... that the same way that you're silent at a wedding ceremony you're giving you consent to the wedding vows speaking up for a little bit of a church member silence gives consent to wedding vows it gives consent to other things called the rule of tacit admission t-a-c-i-t and it's in real estate law you have an apartment or a piece of property and somebody squatting in it and you're silent your no body but you're not trying to charge and rent a victim they can gain title to your property through adverse possession just by you being silent it's a collection law somebody owes you money away ten years to try to start collecting the judge of your path of statute of limitations. If you really thought they owed you money, you would not have waited and been silent for so long. It's a trademark law. You design a trademark, somebody copies it and you know about it and you let them use it. You're not trying to defend your copyright that judge will let him use it.

  9. 18:07

    Yeah, there's a phrase, you get grandfathered in, grandfathered in, right? Yeah, Constitution Article One, Section Seven, Congress passes a bill, put it on the president's desk. Quote, if any bill shall not be returned by the president within 10 days, the same shall be a law in like manner as if he had signed it. All the president has to do is let the bill lay on his desk for 10 days and just be silent and his silence equals his signature. And so if church members are silent when they're killing babies, they're giving consent to killing babies. They're giving their tacit admission. If they're mutilating children and the church members are silent, they're giving consent to mutilating children. The left has a tactic. It's called, you want to guilt trip Christians into being more Christian than Christ. You say what? So yeah, if you're really Christian, you'll be silent and give your tacit approval to us teaching the trans agenda to kids. Well, would Jesus teach the trans agenda? Well, we know what Jesus taught. Matthew 19, you made them at the beginning, made a male and female. So they're saying, if you're really a Christian, you'll let us teach something to the kids Jesus would never teach to the kids. In other In other words, if you're really Christian, you won't act like Christ. I mean, think of it here, are school teachers who cannot even define woman. Yeah. They think they can tell that a little boy is supposed to be a little girl and they can even take the children away from the family if the family's not supportive of that, but they can't even define woman. It did insanity and church numbers are silent by their silence. You're giving approval to that. And Jesus said, if you allow one of these little ones who believes in me to stumble better than a mill still we put out your neck and be thrown on the depths of the sea. So it's going to be rude, awakening for all these churches that say, Oh, we don't get involved politics we just preach the gospel we're a little bit holier than you are because we're able to resist this temptation to care about what kind of country we're leaving our kids and bill let me ask you this uh... will let me ask you this how do you get around the christians that uh... they they avoid conflict or the even appearance of conflict at any cost you know and and i travel in preaching is i mean i'll I preach and teach on all the hot button volatile issues, but I've had so many Christians say, you know, we just don't like conflict. But speak to us if you would about the fact that, you know, we might not like the battles that lie before us, but if we don't speak out, not only are we, like you say, giving tacit approval, but sometimes the assignment to the church is to speak out and to make waves would you agree rock every parent has to go through this i mean you want to just love your kids all the time but there comes a time when you have to correct them you don't just know how do you feel today if you left the kids up to their feelings they would be candy all day long and their teeth would run out of their head right here the adult the birth everyone knows what it is nineteen eighteen love your neighbor as yourself you know the first right before it conference your neighbor directly so you will not incurred their guilt upon you Another translation says, rebuke your neighbor directly.

  10. 21:20

    So you'll not get the blame of their sin upon you. In other words, they're loving each other and they're rebuking each other. Says rebuke a wise man and I love you better to hear the rebuke, rebuke of the wise and the song of fools. New Testament, your brother send rebuke him. Says be instant in season out of season, reprove, rebuke. You know, Jesus, his first sermon ended with them wanting to push him off a cliff. Another that's true with them picking up stones to stone him. Another sermon ends with people saying this is a difficult thing. Who can bear it? They stand up and walk out of church. They walk with him no more. He didn't run after him and say, oh, he misunderstood me. No, he turns to the 12th, says you want to go to the humble Jesus who's loving as can be, but to the prideful Jesus was tough as nails. You know, some people say, I'm not going to do anything. I'm just going to wait for the rapture and have Jesus rescue me out of the sness. I have a question for you. Who do you think you're going to meet when you're raptured? Jesus? Does Jesus love the little children? Oh, yeah. You think you might wonder why you didn't do anything to protect them? I mean, we're not in North Korea or China where you don't vote. We're in America where the citizen is the king and the politicians are your servants. You tell them what to do. And even if we can't turn it around shouldn't we at least try? Yeah. You know, and I think about this bill, I know all of my adult life, I've heard people, you know, my friend, the late Chuck Colson would say, this next election is the key. This is a pivotal, you know, it's a crossroad moment for America. But really, I do believe that here in 2024. I mean, for more years of Democrat, socialist imposition, I honestly think this election, and I know the Lord can do anything. A sovereign God can rule and overrule glory to God. Bill, if we continue the road that we're on of open borders destabilizing the country, wokeness, abolition of gender, abolition of all moral boundaries, I think we are in the last moments of opportunity during which our nation might be saved. Am I overstating it, Bill?

  11. 23:31

    Yeah, yeah, and the sovereign God will bring judgment if we don't repent and all throughout the Bible. Do around me 28, if you hearken to the voice of the Lord, you'll be above and not beneath, head and not the tail, the blessings will chase you down. If you don't hearken to the voice of the Lord, the diseases of Egypt will come upon you, the stranger will come in amongst you and rise up above you and they'll be the head and you'll be the tail. How did God judge ancient ancient Israel? when they send and sacrificing children. He let the other countries come in. The Amalekites mobile, hit types, termites, mosquito bites, all the ights, right? And he let them come in and open up. And then when they repented, he'd raise up a deliverer. And so, you know, this is our heart and all the nation is as much individuals. And if you're silent in the face of sin, you're giving your approval. You know, never before in my life have I seen Satan clubs on elementary school campuses. Satan worshiping Grammys. Satan transclothes designers for target. Satan Disney FX cartoons. Satan statues and the hours take, God's letting the curtain be pulled back. Hello, Satan and on the other side, people are being bolder for God. And we're the bride of Christ and every romance novel goes up to a decision-making moment. I think God's pushing the world. He says, okay, we're getting close to the end of this romance novel. I need you to make your decision. I'm gonna get really easy, God devil, choose. and some people are going to be so used to going along on this guy don't want to say anything other there they're killing it you're mutilating little kid somewhere to be silent and give their tacit approval to that others are going to say you know what uh... i i i tolerated something and i stretch the rubber and tolerated something else but i can't be silent when they want to do a hysterectomy on a little eight-year-old girl because she went through a tomboy face i can't be found when they want to cast a little boy to the plate with the sisters dolls and they cut the rubber man and snaps back and the decisions made that the division and i think that's pushing the world to see through our actions what we can stomach and what we want people who are going to have a good office of those who play a good defense uh... we're gonna have to pull away get out i want you to if you would give us a final thought gives your website and uh... your most recent book title right so american minute dot com is my website american minute dot com and the latest book is silence equals consent the sent of o'vision speak now or forever lose your freedom uh... if you had one challenge to the american people bill fetter or what would it be what would be your your clarion call to this nation you know um... people think i know my heart like the idea of a brand heart but he still wanted to see a brand be willing to take a son i think that about my right I mean, imagine a guy watching football and you say, hey, one was the last time you told your wife, your lover.

  12. 26:22

    And it's like, I can't remember, but she knows my heart. It's like, okay, one was the last time you did anything to show your wife your lover. It's like, I can't remember, but she knows my heart. It's like, dude, we need to have a little talk here. He was like, God knows my heart. Yes, he does. And he wants to hear some words out of your mouth. And he wants to see some actions, right? I mean, if you love a girl, oh, you're looking out the window and the guy says, oh, I love her. I love her. She's getting beat up on the parking lot. And he's just looking out the window. by lover you know lover you love or you do something right you show your at your what's in your heart through your actions and if you're able to just keep silent when all that evil's going on said in the last days the love of many wax cold because and will abound bill thank you so much uh... we've got a change gears here that the voice you're just hearing is bill feterer we're going to continue in a moment with uh... john houser who's the author of a book on creeping socialism in america My name is Alex McFarland. By the way, my newly redesigned website is AlexMcFarland.com. And as you're hearing this program, I'm on my way to the first of seven youth camps. I'm so excited. And I give God the glory. Oh, I'm so thankful for the American Family Radio Network. Tim Wildman allows me to promote the things that I do outside of the AFR Radio world. If you recognize my voice, it's probably because it shows that you hear Five Days a Week Live, which is exploring the word Bert Harper and myself. And Bert and I, our second book is 100 Bible questions and answers for families. And just earlier this week, Bert and I were doing an interview in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania promoting that book, I completely give God the glory that we've done two books from exploring the word and we're working on the third. But because of the platform of the American Family Association, I, I, we were doing one and then two youth camps for about 15 years. Now we've got seven youth camps. We'll have 1200 middle school and high schoolers in seven camps this summer.

  13. 28:26

    The first of which begins this week in Montana. I want you to please pray as we talk to these kids about God and country. And let me just say it would probably thrill most of your hearts to know how eager young people are to know truth. They really are everywhere I go. We're teaching biblical worldview. Now, worldview is what does the Bible say? What is the uniquely scriptural worldview? About what? Obviously salvation. But about life, marriage, morality, even economics. You know the Bible has a lot to say about economics, education. And in the seven youth camps we'll be doing this summer, Again, the first of which begins this week in Montana. Please keep this in prayer. These kids are so hungry and they respond. People ask me, do the kids really respond to apologetics, learning how to defend the Christian faith? And the biblical worldview, yes, they do. Like thirsty people getting cool water on a hot day. And I praise God, we have these kids, you would love it. I'll put this on social media this summer. But we have imagined 300 kids shouting, we are the generation who will save America. I'm sure it's enough to make a liberals' head pop off. These middle school and high schoolers saying we are the generation that will save America. The other thing that I want to make mention of in July, just a few weeks away, I'll be at the Cove, the Billy Graham Training Center in Western North Carolina, the Cove and I'll be teaching first John. It's my 18th summer there and I give God the glory for that and I look forward to you being there. The lodging, let me say this, I want you to meet our next guest. The lodging on site is sold out.

  14. 30:29

    However, there are hotels across the highway and it's just amazing. The website is thecove.org, T-H-E-C-O-V-E, thecove.org. I would love to see you there at the Billy Graham Training Center in Western North Carolina. Well, this is the American Family Radio Network, Alex McFarland. I'm going to change gears here. I want you to meet an author, John Anthony Houser. He's got an amazing history. He is rizzly, like myself, raised on a farm. He grew up in Northern Wisconsin and he has been very illustrious as an author speaker. John, I am so sorry, we've got a break. Say hello, give us your website and then we're going to come back after this brief break and talk about your book. John Houser, welcome. Thank you. I'm pleased to be here. I am John Anthony Houser and my website is www.jahouser.com. Alright, sorry to have you right up on a break, but we'll have a brief commercial here. We'll come back and meet John Houser and his book on socialism. Very important stuff. Stay tuned. We've got a brief break. More the destruction of liberty. The American socialist aristocracy. Just the sound of that gives me chills. We'll discuss after this. The Afford.net. Back to the Hamilton Corner on American family radio. You know, they say don't judge book by its cover but I'm telling you here's a book that I really think that it's a riveting read, the destruction of liberty creating the American socialist aristocracy.

  15. 32:31

    The authors are guests now, John Anthony Houser. Mr. Houser, thanks for holding in. Welcome to the program. Talk about this. I think a lot of people believe America is self-destructing before our very eyes. I guess my twofold question to begin with, are we doing that? And if so, what can be done about it? I do believe we are self-destructing. And Joseph Stalin had an interesting take on America. and he's sort of the icon, one of the icons of socialism throughout history. And he basically said America is a strong country, but it has, and it's based on three things, it's spirituality, it's morality, and it's work ethic. And if we can undermine those three areas, it will collapse from within. And the socialists in this country have been very successful at undermining this country in those three areas. And the first part of my book is basically a philosophical explanation of where I'm going with that sort of theme. There are many reasons for why socialism is an insidious ideology. And the first seven chapters of my book are whites on the wrong side of history, the wrong side of economics, the wrong side of God and Christianity. wrong side of constitution and individual freedom. The wrong side of human nature, it's the wrong side of competency and accountability, and it's the wrong side of arrogance and false religion. The second part of my book is basically giving an example of how this is playing out in American life to date today everything from public education to uh... cancel culture uh... victimhood as a goal and wave life and uh... the media and it's just they have they have implanted themselves in our in our society to the point where the the health of the nature of the nation is not their first goal if that's a function of the nation You know, you're doing such a good job to point out this.

  16. 35:06

    And folks, I would urge you to read this book by John Anthony Houser. You say the wrong side of history, economics, the wrong side of God, human nature, freedom. It's true. And Mr. Houser, I've debated these people at universities. And so many of these people, at least in the world of leftist woke academics. It's like I jokingly told my wife, I was, they're wrong on everything. I mean, if you said water is wet, these people wouldn't believe it. But in a way, it's true. Now, I wish them no ill. As a Christian, I would like for all of them to no Christ and be saved. But Mr. Houser, I feel like we've got people leading the country that are just divorced from reality. That may sound like an overstatement, but it's really true, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, part of what I say in the book is the description of what they call secular humanism. And they're divorced from reality because secular humanism at its core basically believes that we humans are gods. equivalent to God. And when we attempt to make ourselves equivalent to God, history proves to us that there is a God. When mankind is allowed to operate in that fashion, when some of us believe we're equivalent to God, look what we're capable of. I point out the Soviet Union, I point out Nazi Germany, I point out communist china the regardless those were and are godless places and and what they also were were in enormous tragedies in terms of not just economics but it human dignity and human rights they were awful places to live and that's it when you divorce yourself from god you know america with we've got such bounty i mean uh...

    You know, we outpace other nations on agriculture and so much of America. They call the Midwest the breadbasket of the world. They call much of the West Coast, you know, the salad bowl of the world because the majority of lettuce and tomatoes comes out of even California. I guess here's my question. With all of our blessing and bounty and accomplishments, could all the good of America ultimately be turned around to be some of the most wicked, malicious works in the world if we don't recover our spiritual and constitutional DNA? Yeah, I can. I mean, with, you know, part of the problem, I believe, is that I've heard it said that good times breed weak people and hard times breed strong people. We have had extraordinarily good times since the end of World War II, but I go back to, on my grandfather Conrad Houser who my new very well, he grew up to be, he was quite an old gentleman when he passed away. So I knew him well into my 30s. He was a child of the Great Depression as was my grandmother. And they had an entirely different outlook on the world than we do. We tend to now. And so yes, with all this bounty, what have we become? We've become intellectually lazy. we've become spiritually lazy and we have we've allowed ourselves to go down the path of our own self-destruction because we haven't had to work for it that tell you about your book uh... folks if you just tuning in alice macfarlane here we're talking with john anthony house or the author of a book the destruction of liberty creating the american socialist aristocracy uh... got a couple questions but uh... where could people get the book uh... john if you go on to my website you can easily get the book you can also find it on amazon you can find it on uh...

  18. 39:51

    julon press that's ex you l o n press that the vision of sale in books uh... but my website w w w dot day a houser dot com you you can easily find out more about me more about what's in the book uh... and you can click on a button and get one to get a copy uh... what is the american socialist aristocracy the sub-tidal there what what would that socialist aristocracy uh... the two main themes of the book are socialism and aristocracy socialism being the primacy of the public sector meaning government state and bureaucracy over the private sector and private initiative and personal freedom and aristocracy which is a social construct that was uh... sort of originated in the funeral medieval ages uh... where there were a few lords were above the law and or law onto themselves and they were above the rest of us and we were called the peasantry and those two things seem to be incompatible but history has proved to us that they actually go hand-in-hand the the ironic part is that all socialist regimes that have ever come to power came to power by by calling themselves the the defenders of the downtrodden and you know they they said that they were going to bring in a a fairness and equality and but in the end what did they do they simply threw out the old air stock or see and replaced it with themselves on top and you you see this playing out in our own society right now where where we have a two-tiered system of justice if you are one of the people they don't like you're persecuted but if you're one of the people who are on the philosophically or politically connected you're protected and you're protected from the consequences of your own actions and more of this is every day would return the news we see that Yeah, I mean, this is so true.

    I mean, look at criminals that have been exonerated. Look at, I believe President Trump, and I've had many attorneys, including Alan Dershowitz, I've interviewed, and Donald Trump, this trial in New York was a sham, this conviction. You're so right. I mean, when you're on the wrong side of the political left, left, they will use the DOJ and the courts to persecute you. You know, it's interesting, like you say, they sell themselves to the populace as the friend of the downtrodden, but the subtitle of your book with the socialist aristocracy. I think about people like AOC and Nancy Pelosi, AOC, the Biden administration, forcibly keeping the borders open, yet they live in gated communities. Al Gore and the climate activist Paul Hehrlichman wanting to take away air conditioning and internal combustion engines, and yet the environmental activists fly around the world in their jets. It's amazing, John, I've debated vegans, atheist, socialist vegans at university campuses that are arguing with me in leather shoes and leather coats with leather briefcases. So there's this disparity between their ideology and how they want to control our lives, but they themselves, they don't submit to their own boundaries, do they? now and one of the classic remarks i've heard from guy named uh... claus swab and you know he fit the leader of this globalist outfit called the dabbles group he he says it in ten years you'll own nothing and you know and you'll be thankful for that in ten years will you know nothing of course not you're one of the first one centers you own everything and that's exactly for yeah uh...

    their their own hypocrisy calls them out well it really does and so so let me ask you this how can we help people and i mean even you know christians and conservatives and pastor sometimes that i feel like after persuade that the government and the culture that has brought the most good and the most numbers of people being the beneficiaries, liberty, prosperity, stability, innovation, the betterment of the human condition. It's been principled capitalism, Judeo-Christian representative republic, our nation. How do we persuade people that the greatest good for the greatest amount of people has been through American liberty? I think you persuade them by throwing that argument back in the faces of adventure detractors. If you look at St. Nancy Pelosi, and I point this out in my book several times, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, even Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, they're the first people to rail against the so-called evil of capitalism and yet they do not hesitate to exploit it for their own benefit at every opportunity. If capitalism is so bad then why are you all so good at using it for your own profit? Yeah, yeah. And you know it's like whenever I'm at universities and you know students during In the Q&A they'll come to the microphone and they'll rail on me for having a book in print and telling me what I should be doing if I was altruistic and generous, although they have no idea what I do on the side of benevolence and generosity.

    I'll say, well look, you're telling me how to live my life. about you. If you're concerned, why don't you give away what you have? You know, I'm not telling you how to control your life, why are you telling me how to control my life? Well, listen, we're almost out of time. This is our first meeting, John, and Mr. Houser, and I want to converse with you again. I appreciate you so much. Website J. A. Houser, H-A-U-S-E-R.com, j a h a u s e r dot com the book the destruction of liberty uh... are you speaking uh... how many people find you in your interviews you're speaking well right now i i i have a public system setting up interviews and things like that i mean i would say if you go on to my website and you want to communicate with me there's a place on there that you can do that The views and opinions expressed in this broadcast do not necessarily reflect those of the American Family Association or American Family Radio.
