And so I think that that's definitely something we're continuing to fight through even today because if you look at just the number of people who can see the evidence of the USAID stuff and they say, oh no, they didn't waste any money. I mean, it's incredible.
There's still a segment of people responsible for this at a lot of the legacy media organizations to push these ideas so that people think that reality just isn't happening.
You're not wrong. I can't convince you you're wrong because the truth is, is very few people in America fully understand the mindset of our founders today. And that's really sad.
And I say that about even some people who agree with me politically on a lot of things, and they just haven't read the actual work, the writings of our founders, who, by the way, it's just incredible how well these men wrote at the time. It's stuff that you don't see people write today. And these are guys who didn't go to school in many cases, and they write the most eloquent,
about what liberty actually means. You know, the seal on Thomas Jefferson's official letters and everything like that, it was that rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. That was actually considered to be the motto of the United States of America too, but it was on his seal.
And I think it sends a message about who our founders were in total, because that was sort of something that you could find as an underpinning of the ideology for most of the founders, right? Was that you need to rebel against tyrants, that you should not obey authority if it gets corrupt and tyrannical.
And essentially, this goes back to a basic principle when you talk about the 60s, 70s, things kind of growing out of control and becoming a blob. What's the absolute power corrupts? Absolutely.
And it was around that time period where they realized there could be a total consolidation of power between all of the different cultural institutions and that their power was so vast that they could really dominate everybody. And so once they realized that, yeah, grew out of control, it became that blob. It became that tyrannical control scheme that our founders feared.
And so my great hope for this, this next generation for my kids is that, um, you know, They're inspired by the fact that we're living through a second American revolution. They're inspired by seeing great men and women do hard things and that they adopt the mindset that our founders had.
And that once again, you know, the country reawakened can be inherited by a generation that believes that you should rebel against tyrants.
I think leading up to this year, I was just sad that I had to do it because I love this country so much. And the sadness is really born from the fact that my mom and my grandparents, they already fled communism in Cuba. They lost everything they ever worked for.
And so being raised to love this country so much and to understand how blessed I was to have the American dream at my fingertips if I so chose to reach out and grab it. Even though my mom came here with no money, penniless refugee, right? But I knew that opportunity existed in America.
To know that and then to see the country turn towards something so dark, so close to what stole Cuba from my family and everything they ever worked for, you know, it made me sad to see that people could sort of lose perspective about how lucky we are to be in this country. However, over the last year,
I really sort of became inspired because I realized that America, when we're down and out, when things just seem like there's no hope. And I knew a lot of people who were like, there's no hope left. We're resigned to being taken over by this leftist blob and they're going to rule over us for 60 years. And that's just that.
And hopefully you can keep your own family safe and mitigate all of the damage from it. I realized that every time in history- Yeah, when we reach that point, exceptional people step up out of nowhere and they do hard things.
And I think that sometimes it takes having your back against the wall to realize how lucky you are to say, you know, I'm going to stand up for this because I want my kids to be as lucky as I was. And so at this point, I'm heartened and I feel inspired. And I think hopefully the mission over the next few years will be shifted to one where it says, hey, we can never get complacent.
We all need to be eagle-eyed about all of this and redouble our efforts to have a sane country to reawaken the American dream. Because if we don't, we could fall right back into what we just escaped.
Oh, absolutely. It should be a required reading in schools. My kids have read it. In fact, I would say something that is sort of a no-brainer is we should have kids memorize, if they're going to memorize anything in school, and I'm not a huge fan of memorization, but have them memorize the Constitution, know your rights, know what the amendments are. I mean, very simple civics things.
I think we should be teaching kids so that when they become adults and they come of age to vote, they actually know what the heck is going on. Because in most cases, a lot of them are just simply uninformed.
And that's why you saw them for so long voting in a way that was diametrically opposed to what was actually good for them, because they just simply were not informed about the things that mattered to the foundational values of the country and how it all plays together, right? And so,
