2:31

there's a cancer that

2:34

has consumed so much of

2:36

America's political life by elevating

2:39

the worst amongst us to

2:42

some of the highest positions of political

2:44

power. And when they get

2:46

there because they are unprepared, they

2:49

are disordered personalities, malignant

2:53

narcissists, ignorant,

2:56

and in some cases just

2:58

plain dumb. They

3:00

are easy to fool, easy to

3:02

lie to, easy to dupe, and easy

3:05

to trick. That's

3:08

why these two men, these two

3:11

chairmen, are talking about their colleagues

3:13

being under the influence of Russian

3:15

propaganda. It is April 11th and

3:18

there are 208 days left until

3:20

the American people will choose the

3:23

next American commander in chief. This

3:26

is the warning. Mike

3:29

Turner from Ohio is the chairman of

3:31

the House Republican Intelligence Committee and

3:33

his colleague Mike McCall of Texas

3:36

is the chairman of the House Foreign Relations

3:38

Committee. The two men said something totally

3:41

obvious but still rather remarkable.

3:43

What they said is that

3:46

Russian propaganda has

3:48

influenced, has penetrated, has

3:51

affected their colleagues.

3:55

Think about that. Russian

3:58

propaganda Has

4:00

reached its way into the house

4:02

of Representatives. And. n

4:05

the Republican cloakroom. Where

4:08

it has swayed the opinions.

4:11

Know. What does this mean? What

4:13

Is Russian propaganda? Is.

4:15

A magical, a lesser, A

4:18

secret element. Some.

4:21

Type of enigmatic powder that

4:23

was through the vets. It's

4:28

none of those things. What?

4:30

It is. Is

4:33

carefully constructed in packaged

4:35

lies. And

4:37

those lies have merged in melded.

4:40

With. Donald Trump's mag allies.

4:44

There. Is a practical effect in

4:46

our com a cause? An.

4:49

Upset the consequence. For.

4:52

A society when the President of

4:55

the United States over four years

4:57

time. Wise. By.

5:00

Dot you manage how more

5:02

than thirty five thousand times?

5:05

To the American people, The.

5:08

Incessant see inconstancy of the lies

5:11

has a practical effect in the

5:13

and what he does. Is it

5:15

a roads the ability of normal

5:18

people to distinguish what is real

5:20

and what is not, what is

5:22

true and what his fate. What

5:26

is false? And.

5:28

What is real? What?

5:32

Is the lie. And. What

5:34

is the truth? Ended

5:37

distinguish meant between what is the lie and

5:40

what is the truth. Is.

5:42

Elemental in a democracy.

5:45

Because. In a democracy. It

5:48

is the people that are sovereign. Specifically.

5:52

The American government is constructed on

5:55

the basis of a republic. Of.

5:58

The People by the people. For

6:00

the people. If

6:02

the people can't tell what is

6:04

real, Can't. Tell up from

6:06

down down from our bread from blue

6:09

blue from bread. Then.

6:11

We are in big

6:13

trouble. Democracies.

6:19

The United States in

6:21

particular are constructed a

6:23

truce. On. Our

6:25

mental truths, About the

6:27

dignity of the human being. About

6:31

the supremacy. Of

6:33

the individual, Over.

6:36

Any collective. These

6:41

ideas. About. The

6:43

dignity of wise. Or

6:46

perhaps most clearly in best

6:48

manifested. In. These words.

6:51

From. The American Declaration of

6:53

Independence that all men are

6:56

created equal in down by

6:58

a creator with certain inalienable

7:01

rights. Among. Them life,

7:03

Liberty. And the pursuit

7:05

of happiness. This

7:08

is a truce. It.

7:11

In L A Noble Truths. That

7:14

is at the center. Of. The

7:17

idea. That.

7:19

Created the United States of

7:22

America, which has endured for

7:24

nearly two hundred and fifty

7:26

years. But.

7:29

There are other ideas.

7:32

And every one of

7:34

those ideas subordinate the

7:37

dignity. And then

7:39

the freedom and the liberty

7:41

of the individual. Below.

7:44

The power. Of. The

7:46

state. For. A

7:49

party. Or. A

7:51

man. Or. off

7:53

three acting together in concert

7:55

with the man declaring that

7:57

i am the party the

8:00

declaring that we are the state. When

8:04

this happens, it's

8:06

a recipe for atrocity and evil.

8:12

The most famous examples

8:14

of lies overwhelming reality,

8:17

consuming the

8:19

world in a fire of

8:22

rage and hate and

8:24

violence, was what

8:26

happened in Europe during the 1920s and 30s and 40s with

8:31

the rise of the Nazis in

8:33

Germany and the genocide

8:35

they perpetrated and committed. All

8:39

of it was built on

8:42

a mountain of lies and

8:45

delusions, lies that

8:48

the Germans were a superior race,

8:50

a master race, and that all

8:53

around them were lesser people. Some

8:57

of them needed to be

8:59

annihilated, exterminated, while others simply

9:01

could exist as slaves. The

9:04

German people would live in a paradise

9:07

of open space in

9:10

an agrarian society where they

9:12

would multiply, having many, many

9:15

children, while

9:17

all around them slave laborers

9:20

would till the soil. In

9:23

their perfect utopia, it

9:25

was madness. But this

9:28

idea, like all of the

9:30

other ideas, all of the

9:32

other isms, at

9:34

its core, is

9:36

built around a lie. And that

9:39

lie is always sold on the

9:41

belief that a man, a party,

9:43

something, can cure

9:46

all the problems by blaming it

9:48

on some type of common enemy.

9:52

Always the easy scapegoat for the

9:54

Nazis. It was the Jews who

9:58

made up 1% of the... German

10:00

population and were held liable

10:02

by the Nazis for all

10:04

the wrongs that

10:07

had come to Germany from

10:10

the defeat in the war of aggression.

10:14

Everything was blamed on 1%

10:17

of the population. Today,

10:21

there are similar lies being told

10:25

by an autocrat, by

10:27

a dictator who is waging

10:30

a war of aggression, of

10:33

violence, a war that

10:35

involves kidnapping children and shipping them

10:37

east, a war that

10:39

involves systemic rape and

10:41

murder and brutality under

10:44

the premise that the nation

10:47

of Ukraine does not exist. You're

11:16

nailing this. Now, you see hundreds of sticky notes from the retro. A

11:29

11:31

12:48

your free trial. monarchmoney.com/podcast. This,

12:51

of course, is a lie, and

12:54

the lies that support it, the fake

12:56

history that embodies it, are

13:00

what Russian propaganda is. The

13:02

notion that the

13:04

war that is being fought is

13:07

some type of reaction defensively

13:09

by Russia to

13:11

a greedy and overexpansive NATO.

13:15

The notion that this is repeated on

13:18

the floor of the United States

13:21

House of Representatives and in the

13:23

Republican cloakroom, this propaganda, this lie

13:26

by a foreign enemy at

13:29

the disadvantage of our democratic

13:31

ally and the cause of

13:33

freedom is something that should

13:35

be sickening to all Americans,

13:38

because to fall for propaganda

13:40

requires you to be something.

13:44

It requires you to be a dupe, a

13:48

fool, a

13:50

vessel that

13:53

can be tricked, manipulated.

13:56

And so when you see people like Marjorie

13:58

Taylor Greene, and

14:01

all of the loons and all

14:03

of the cynics who have been

14:05

so easily manipulated by the Kremlin,

14:08

remember this, that

14:11

their manipulation has

14:13

made life more dangerous for all of us,

14:15

for all of our children, for all of

14:17

the people in the world, because

14:20

it serves violence. It

14:23

serves the cause of dictatorship that

14:25

is attacking a people who wish

14:27

to be free. Who

14:30

wish to have their own language,

14:32

their own traditions, their own customs.

14:38

When two Republican chairmen say, when

14:40

we look around, what we see

14:43

are our colleagues who have been

14:45

overcome, who have become dupes to

14:49

foreign lies by a

14:52

hostile country that has been

14:54

our enemy for 80 years. Trying

14:59

to undermine America's standing in

15:01

place in the world, which

15:04

is the linchpin and the

15:06

guarantor of peace and security,

15:09

not just for the American people, but for

15:12

all people. Understand

15:15

what these comments mean. Understand

15:20

the honesty of them, how

15:22

important they are. What the evidence

15:24

is of cancer that

15:27

has consumed so much of

15:29

America's political life by elevating

15:32

the worst amongst us to

15:34

some of the highest positions of political power. And

15:38

when they get there, because they are

15:40

unprepared, they are

15:42

disordered personalities, malignant

15:45

narcissists, ignorant,

15:48

and in some cases just plain dumb.

15:53

They are easy to fool, easy

15:55

to lie to, easy to dupe, and easy

15:57

to trick. That's

16:01

why these two men, these

16:03

two chairmen, are talking about

16:05

their colleagues being under the

16:07

influence of Russian propaganda. All

16:11

propaganda is immoral because

16:14

all propaganda is a lie. We

16:17

must remember this and

16:20

understand that even when it

16:22

comes from two complicit Republican

16:24

chairmen, that when they

16:26

tell the truth about the

16:28

infestation at hand, that

16:31

we must take it seriously. There

16:35

has never been an era in American life

16:37

where there has been more voracious

16:41

foreign influence directed

16:44

openly at American policymakers

16:46

with no rebuttal and

16:49

no consequence, whether

16:52

it's the Army of Saudi agents

16:54

and Qatari agents and

16:58

influence peddlers representing who knows

17:00

what dictator, who knows what

17:02

oligarch from where that are

17:05

all over Washington, or the

17:08

obvious efforts of the Russians,

17:11

which are parroted every night,

17:15

a mere shadow of

17:18

what you can see on Moscow,

17:20

on Fox News, lie after lie

17:22

after lie, madness after madness, conspiracy

17:26

after conspiracy to the American people. That's

17:30

what Russian propaganda is. In

17:33

the end, it's lethal

17:37

because in the end, what

17:40

it seeks to do is to smother

17:43

the flame of liberty with

17:45

a wet blanket of lies to

17:48

bring on the darkness that

17:50

subjugates the human below

17:52

the jackboot of the state. The

17:55

American People's answer to that

17:57

proposition has always been. The

18:00

two Hundred and Forty eight Years. Never.

18:05

Give. Me Liberty. Or.

18:07

Give me death. Has.

18:11

Been the American possession. And.

18:14

Let it always. Be. So.
