RLL.Ep.46: The War on Domestic Terror

You're listening to radio looks lucid. I'm your host Steve Matthews. Thanks for joining me for episode 46 the title of today's episode is the war on domestic terror. Well here I am once again finding myself on late on a Saturday night.

Late-Night Recording and the Week's House Projects

Well, that's actually early Sunday morning. It's about 24 minutes after 12, it's very early on a Sunday morning. Doing a doing a podcast and every week I do this to myself. And I always say well You know, I'm gonna next week I'm gonna get this done at a decent hour and get the bed at a decent hour and and everything's gonna be great.

Well. Every week somehow it seems like I managed to fail to do that. You know, you've probably had things like that in your life. You know, you always keep saying well, I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do this and and you think it's gonna happen and somehow it doesn't happen a Little computer noise there in the background.

Sorry about that. Yeah, you think that it's going to happen and somehow for some reason it doesn't now. My excuse this week for not getting this out early in the day is I was helping my dad out paint the bathroom.

And this is one of these projects that you know, it's actually on. I think this is our third Saturday of doing this you know how it is when you're you're a weekend warrior and you got a job and you do things through the week and and.

And you always end up having to spend all your Saturdays on On doing projects and so Saturday is the big day to do projects. So so we spend a good deal of the time doing Doing the painting and I have to admit when it comes to to things in life that doing projects around the house.

Or you know that that's not that's not my thing never has been. I mean, you know dad when I was growing up I mean he was was always. Not only was he he didn't Merely just do projects. He actually enjoyed doing projects.

I Don't know I have a hard time with that I've never had the patience to do the to do that kind of work and I tend to get Kind of tend to get kind of frustrated with I have a very low threshold of frustration.

But you know and and the thing is dad's super skilled at it and I really respect what what he does. I mean, you know ever since I was a kid, I mean, you know, he you know, he's out there. You know doing plumbing doing electric working on the car pouring concrete.

Building stuff, you know building the patio building furniture. All this kind of thing. He's kind of like, you know, there's that that TV program I guess about 20 25 years back with Tim Allen with Tim the tool man, you know.

And and and he was always building stuff and this well. Well, that was that was my dad and in long before that show ever came on the air. That was my dad and my brother's got some of that as well. I mean, he seems to be very skillful at that and seems to enjoy doing some of it.

I I don't I mean I I have a lot of respect for people who who can do this stuff. But for me, I don't know. I I just I have a very I get very easily frustrated with that sort of thing. But you know dad dad still great at that stuff.

But yeah, he's he's he's a little bit older now and and sometimes he needs a little bit of help. And and so I'm glad I was was able to pitch in and help I think I still got a little bit of paint here on my my hand now that I see it I thought I got it all off.

Hopefully I don't have any my hair.

I.

Did have some in my hair before it seems like no matter what I do whenever I paint them and how careful I am I've always managed to somehow get painting my hair and that's kind of hard to do because I don't have a whole lot of hair, but Anyway, be that as it may so anyway, it's it's because I was having to help dad paint the bathroom that.

That I'm getting to my my weekly podcast at almost 1230 on a Sunday morning. Mm-hmm anyway. So that's my excuse for the week and and hopefully I'll probably have another one next week, but I hope I won't I hope I'm gonna Get this done earlier, but but we'll see I'm gonna I'm gonna keep working on it and keep working on it.

The Biden Administration’s War on “Domestic Terror”

So anyway what I want to talk about this week. I titled the the episode here today. The the domestic war on terror or the war on domestic terror I should say the war on domestic terror is the title of the episode and.

So why am I talking about that here? Well, one of the things that and I I think that It's actually pretty shocking some of the kind of language that that's coming out of people in very high places in our country and it's it's getting to the point where you kind of get a sense that That our government that the Biden administration in particular really sees a pretty good chunk of the American people as as an enemy almost as a foreign enemy as as terrorists and You know, I never thought that I would see this kind of language out out of our government.

But it's it's not just once or twice and it's not from obscure people. It goes right to the very top. As part of Biden's inauguration speech he was talking about having a Essentially declaring war on white supremacists and domestic terrorists and all of this others type of thing and and that rhetoric has continued Right down here over the past a couple weeks and it shows no sign of going away and and this is something that that is is a is going to be a big part of his administration and I'm not sure that necessarily that a lot of regular Americans have Have woken up to that fact, you know, I think there's a tendency to think well, you know, you know, I'm an American.

You know, I'm a I'm a good person. I you know, I I go to work. I love the Lord. I I pay my taxes I raise my family I try to do the things that that a good citizen would that a Christian would and. And you know, why would anybody consider me to be an enemy well apparently the the by administration does and I hope to be able to to show you Show you that by going through a few of the stories here, you know.

One of the things that really caught my attention. I was actually watching something on Tucker Carlson this past week and He he cited there was a piece in the in the New York Times and This this article in the New York Times.

It's titled our private messaging apps the next misinformation hotspot and what they do is they. The these authors and there's there's two authors. This was a piece that came out February 3rd so it was just a few days ago and it was written by Brian X Chen and Kevin Ruse and they talk about The you know, the the fact that there are dangerous people including far-right groups.

You know, they were barred from Facebook and Twitter and and and now they're going on to some of these private messaging programs like telegram and signal. Well, you know It's kind of funny in some ways for them to sit and complain about that because of course.

It's people like Brian Chen and Kevin Ruse probably I don't know these two gentlemen. But when in you read through their their article here in the New York Times, they they probably you kind of get the sense.

They probably approve of that.

You know.

They they want to see all of these these people these conservatives these Trump supporters or what have you get get kicked off of Twitter and get kicked off of Facebook. Well when you kick them off of Twitter and Facebook those people are gonna want to go do something someplace.

You know and now you have a hard time even finding out what they're saying. Now. They're complaining about that.

You.

Know I mean the the bottom line is is these people don't want you with an opinion or don't want you expressing an opinion anywhere at any time. For any reason, you know, they want to shut you up and shut you down.

I mean we're getting into a time where we're dissent just merely dissenting just merely disagreeing with the official line. It makes you a suspect person in the eyes of the New York Times in the eyes of the Biden administration in the eyes of the FBI or in the eyes of You know of of the army.

I mean right now you've got the I guess what the Secretary of Defense has Stood down the army and they're gonna spend all this time trying to to root out Extremism, you know, and of course, you know, what is extremism?

You know, they they never quite get around to describing Accurately what extremism is, you know, what's a white supremacist? Well, they never really tell us. You know, apparently it's anybody that disagrees with the New York Times I mean is I think one of the I think one of the the basic definitions of those words I mean if you disagree with the New York Times if if you don't think the most Recent presidential election was the most honest most awesome presidential election in the whole history of presidential elections.

Well, you know you're there you're probably an extremist he might be a white supremacist, you know, who knows. You're certainly a suspect person, you know, if if you don't think that the kovat narrative is Is awesome, you know.

If you don't think that everybody should be locked into their house for the next 10 years and never allowed to go anywhere without four masks Under face. Well, you know, you just might be You know, you just might be a be a white supremacist I mean in in the eyes and again in the eyes of the New York Times or the eyes of the FBI or the by administration.

You know if you You know any any number of things if you go against the official the official explanations. You know, you're shut up. You're shut down. It's like a new Sort of like a new feudalism a neo feudalism.

I mean.

That's the way it was in the in the Middle Ages, you know with the Roman Catholic Church and and if you expressed an opinion that The the bishops the Cardinals or the Pope didn't like, you know. Well, I mean, you know, you could be on the the receiving end of some very bad business.

It was dogma I mean, that's usually what the sometimes the the word is used for that as dogma. I mean, they're official truths that you have to believe and if you don't believe them if you don't give the right answer.

And if you don't jump when the official power says how high well you're in a world of trouble. And more and more we're getting into that point right now. And it's it's an amazing thing to watch. It's a disturbing thing to watch but it's not a new thing.

You know, it's like what Solomon said. There's nothing new under the Sun. Well, I mean this this Urge on the part of government officials and the part of people and in high places whether they're in in Social media like Facebook or YouTube wanting to shut down any kind of dissent whether they are Presidents whether they are secretaries of defense or or other people.

You know what we're getting into the age of dogma, you know. Where there are certain things that you have to believe and if you don't believe them. Well, you are you're a very bad person and in some very bad things are going to happen to you.

But these two gentlemen here in the New York Times Tucker Carlson was talking about this particular piece Earlier this week and there was was one paragraph in particular that he read on the air that really struck me.

I want to share it here with you. This is what what Tucker Carlson read. This is a direct quote from from this New York Times article. He says this over the authors say this the shift to private messaging is renewed a debate over whether encryption is a double-edged sword while the technology prevents people from being spied on might also make it easier for criminals and Misinformation spreaders to do harm without getting caught now the the thing and in Tucker Carlson pointed this out.

And this is the thing that you should really Get when you see this note how they put criminals and misinformation spreaders right together so Basically criminals and misinformation spreaders are the same thing.

So again, what's a misinformation spreader? Well, apparently I mean if you you look around you look around and you see what's going on a misinformation spreader is anybody who disagrees with an official explanation a Misinformation spreader apparently is somebody who says well, you know The the last election was fraudulent and that Joe Biden is an illegitimate president.

I Guess apparently that makes me a misinformation spreader, you know if The you know, if somebody says the kovat lockdowns are a fraud. Well, I guess that means you're a misinformation spreader and this goes for even people who are medical doctors.

You're not to take it from me. I'm just some some Some podcasters sitting here talking that at 1230 on a on a on a Saturday on a Sunday morning. You know, I I don't have any special degree in virology.

But I mean there are people who have studied this type of thing who have spoken out against this. There are some very good theological Christian reasons not to lock people down. You don't lock down healthy people.

That's one of the basic things that you get out of. Out of the out of the scriptures, you don't quarantine healthy people. I've talked about this before but this is something that bears bears mentioning again, you know if somebody you know, you you read through say the book of Leviticus and it talks in there in great detail about Diagnosing somebody who has Someone who potentially has leprosy and there's a very detailed Process for going through this and it's only after that process is complete only after the person's received due process.

Is that person quarantined? I Quarantine people with serious diseases is is okay to do is acceptable to do. But there has to be some kind of procedure. You don't just lock everybody down and hopes that you know 15 days to flatten the curve.

Well, I mean they were saying that almost a year ago. That was last March. You know, well, it's February now. So we're coming up on a whole year and we're still locking down and I mean there was just a thing here.

Oh I guess it was so within the last day or so the Supreme Court ruled that churches in in in California can reopen but they can't they have to reopen at only 25 So it's really not much of a victory.

I mean the idea that a governor can tell churches you can't meet on the Lord's Day is a violation of the Constitution it says right in the First Amendment of the Constitution of the Bill of Rights, you know, you have a right to peace of the Assemble and The the incorporation doctrine which came along with the 14th Amendment applies that to the states as well.

No governor has a right To to shut down the churches people have a right to speak. They have a right to peaceably assemble.

And.

When when governors prohibit churches from meeting or when government governors limit the ability of churches to Meet. And the Supreme Court really, you know, the ruling isn't really much of a victory.

They're saying oh you can meet but but you can only meet at 25 capacity. Neither the Constitution nor the Bible Authorizes Caesar to have anything to say about when and under what circumstances churches may meet.

There's nothing there there's zero support for this and and so I I'm sorry, but I don't cheer this. This latest Supreme Court ruling.

And.

And I I'm so encouraged, you know when I when I read about the stance that the Grace Community Church has taken you know, that's that's the that's.

Yeah.

MacArthur's Church out in or out near near LA and You know what? He's done is is a very brave thing. Now. There are some things that I have criticized John MacArthur for doing I mean if you read the Trinity Foundation if you look at some of the work John Robbins has done I mean there are some some criticisms.

He's leveled at at John MacArthur, but on this particular issue, I think he's been quite good. He stood strong and I wish I can't tell you I wish wish wish wish wish more Christians Would be as bold as what Grace Community Church has been.

And you know in there are some pastors who have been there are some ministers who have been but by and large most have chosen to go along with the state diktats. And and I think that that's unfortunate because if we're ever going to get any real pushback on this if we're ever going to really Tell Caesar The Caesars overstepping his bounds which he is Is that that's gonna have to come from Christians.

I really do think that Christians are going to have to be the ones to take the lead on this and this is a wonderful Opportunity for us to do that. Now, I mean I've I've struggled with the whole you know kovat thing I mean where I I I Cannot bring myself to wear a mask in church on the Lord's Day.

I just I can't do it. You know, I I can't sit there and Donna mask and sing amazing grace I just I can't do it I I feel like a liar. It's it's something I really struggle with now, I know that maybe there are some of my My brothers and sisters in Christ, maybe I don't see don't don't see it that way.

And you know, I I think maybe there's some room to to disagree on this.

But.

But that's a big deal and and I think that we are making as Christians a big mistake. We allow the state we allow Caesar. To dictate how we're going to worship. There is no support for that in Scripture.

In fact, there's a lot of Fairly explicit passages that that refute that whole idea, you know the we see various things in the scriptures where where governors Magistrates of different sorts attempt to control scripture, you know, whether it's you know Nebuchadnezzar telling everybody they have to bow down to his golden image or whether it's Darius saying well, you can't worship anybody except You know except the the gods I guess what of the the Medes and Persians for 30 days or.

You can see it when the Sanhedrin arrested the Apostles what Peter and John they brought him. They said you you know, did we not strictly warn you not to teach anymore in the name of Jesus? You know now you've filled Jerusalem with this his teaching, you know, and their response was well, we must obey God rather than men.

So, I mean there are there are probably other things in Scripture that you can find other examples of this in Scripture but those are three that come to mind and You know what we get from that is, you know that that Caesar does not have jurisdiction over when the church meets.

Under what circumstances it meets the doctrine of the church there is to be a separation of church and state. The separation of church and state is actually a Christian idea and in the United States that idea has kind of gotten itself a little bit of a bad name because it's usually pushed by Some very liberal people like the the ACLU that that really misinterpret that whole idea that whole bit that misapply that idea.

But yes, the the church and the state should be separate. Both church and state governments are legitimate governments, you know, the civil magistrate the the civil government is legitimate. It's it's actually created by God.

I mean the Apostle Paul talks about that, right? You know, he says, yeah. Yeah, this is an exact quote. But he tells that every soul be subject to the the governing authority for there is no no authority except from God.

And he talks about the civil magistrate is God's minister. So, you know civil government is not not something is not man-made it's it's it it comes from God you know and in God puts the civil governors there for the purpose of Maintaining order you know one of the what's that the third use of the law, you know is All right, or I always get those confused.

Anyway, John Calvin had the three uses of the law, you know, and one of those was to To have a standard by which people could live even if they weren't necessarily Christian people even if they weren't necessarily believers, but to provide a standard to limit them to limit sin.

You know, that's why the civil governor is there is to to put a limit on Evil-doing because we are all of us by our nature.

Corrupt.

You know, we talked about the doctrine of total depravity, you know among the reformed right and you know, we Calvinist, you know total depravity well, I mean the one that's one of the reasons why we have civil government is because of the total depravity of mankind and.

And if we didn't have some kind of governing authority if we didn't have a civil magistrate who the bears the sword I mean you you would have. You would have chaos you'd have anarchy you'd have some very terrible things happening so the civil magistrate is God's minister, but the civil man the civil magistrate is limited in what he can do.

Anyway, I didn't really need to get off on that whole tangent there but I guess what I'm kind of saying here with all of this is the The government here in the United States the the federal government here in the United States is Is grossly overstepping its bounds and they are taking new initiatives right now to attempt to control thought.

Now, of course, New York Times isn't the government but what the New York Times is doing is they are expressing an idea. That is very much in favor in in the Biden administration, you know, and they they talk about here in that very same sentence criminals and misinformation spreaders and You know, the the Biden administration is apparently terrified too of anybody that disagrees with it.

I mean, you know, they've got you know barbed wire fences all over the capital. They've got troops garrisoning in Washington DC. You know, I mean it looks like You know like one of these. Like, you know like Baghdad or one of these these these military outposts in a foreign country I mean and they seem genuinely afraid of the American people.

Why are they so afraid of the American people? You know, I read something the other day. I mean about this and in the author, you know I mean, I guess it's to some degree speculation. But one of the reasons that he gave is well, you know, maybe.

Maybe they're afraid they're there. They're afraid their propaganda hasn't hasn't taken hold. Maybe they're afraid and they seem very much afraid of anybody questioning, you know how Joe Biden became president or Or or his policies.

I mean they seem genuinely afraid of the American people. This is not a government that's it's of buyer for the people they don't seem to To to care at all for the American people. I mean if you look at just the some of the executive orders that Joe Biden has signed he's destroyed jobs.

He's promised to to import about as many migrants. Immigrants and in refugees as possible with no concern whatsoever to the effect that that's going to have on the American people I guess in that respect.

He seems to be very eager to do his bidding of his Probably his his master in the Vatican and of course talking about Pope Francis. It's really quite remarkable how the the stated policy goals of the Biden administration line up with the Vatican.

And of course Joe Biden is our second Roman Catholic president. So it's it's not surprising that there is a close correspondence there. But anyway, I wanted to kind of get back to this the whole idea of The domestic war or the war on domestic terror.

I keep saying that wrong. There's a an article.

Paul Craig Roberts on a Totalitarian Turn

By.

By Paul Craig Roberts. The other day this past week. I thought that was it was quite good. It was dated February 2nd and The title of of his particular piece here. It's called the Biden regime will be America's first totalitarian government and I'll just read a few paragraphs here.

It is unavoidable the the prostitutes have white conservative American Trump supporters set up as systemic racist mega-terrorist enemies of democracy and white supremacist oppressors as Biden's staffing reveals the regime is staffed with people hostile to white Gentiles.

The regime's anti-domestic terrorism bill voids the First Amendment by criminalizing dissent from controlled Explanations and he says I am NOT the only one who sees this and he goes on to cite Several different people one of them he cites here is is Tulsi Gabbard, she's retired.

She was a member of Congress from from Hawaii and she was a Democrat and and this is what she says here. And he quotes her here. I'll just read the quote. He says this or she says this. This is an issue that all Democrats Republicans independents libertarians should be extremely concerned about.

Especially because we don't have to guess about where this goes or how this ends. What characteristics we are looking for is we are building this profile a potential extremist. What are we talking about religious extremists?

We're talking about Christians. Evangelical Christians, what is a religious extremist? Is it somebody who's pro-life? And this was quoted out of out of the National Review and and in that National Review article, she I'm not gonna read the whole quote here, but she she references a a quote by John Brennan now John Brennan is a former CIA director and he was also one of the people that was involved in the the plot to apparently to remove Donald Trump as president and.

Of course, he's he's going to be unindicted. Nothing's going to happen to him because that's the way the the deep state works but there's a there's a tweet out there it in it found by a Of Tom Elliot and he he saved a video segment of John Brennan being interviewed on MSNBC.

And I think this was maybe back on the inauguration day for Biden on the 20th or somewhere thereabouts I want to play this for you. It's a bit about a minute or so and I want you to listen to to what John Brennan has to say.

John Brennan, Extremism, and the New Domestic Security Apparatus

So here we go on the call. I was thinking today that this is the most relaxed I've been in the course of many inaugurations I've watched because I'm not responsible for it, but I can tell you that when I was in the government I was I had white knuckles because of the nature of the threats.

But it's so much more difficult today because of what we have seen not just over the last two weeks. But that certainly has riveted our attention. But because of this growth in polarization in the United States and domestic violence and white supremacist groups.

So I know looking forward that the members of the the Biden team who have been nominated or have been appointed Are now moving in laser-like fashion to try to uncover as much they can about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've seen overseas.

Where they germinate in different parts of a country and they gain strength and it brings together an unholy alliance frequently.

Yeah, well, it seemed to. I don't know what happened there. Lost lost the audio. But but anyway, I think you you can get the get the sense of.

Religious six religious extremists authoritarians fascists bigots racists nativists. Even libertarians. And unfortunately, I think there has been this momentum that has been generated as a result of unfortunately the demagogic rhetoric of people.

That's just a part of government, but also those who continue in the halls of Congress. And so I really do. Think that the law enforcement homeland security intelligence and even the defense officials are doing everything possible to root out What seems to be a very very serious and insidious threat to our democracy in our Republic?

I want to read you a little bit of how Tom Friedman describes.

The secure.

Okay, so that's the end of the segment there but sorry about the the little technical glitch there but This is an extraordinary thing. I mean again, you know John Brennan is not a an obscure kind of a guy he was former director of the CIA and and he's also Very frequently get very frequently a guest on on news programs and he seems to be especially prominent on places such as MSNBC I don't know if he's on CNN as much or not, but but he's very prominent.

I mean, he's he's out there. He puts himself out there. He's he's on TV quite a bit and and here he is in this particular Interview about a minute and a half and he talks about Moving with a laser like fashion try to uncover as much as they can't about, you know.

Religious extremists authoritarians fascists bigots racist nativists. I don't know I guess a nativist to somebody maybe who questions the the flooding the country with Taxpayers subsidized immigrants migrants and refugees.

I mean probably And even libertarians he says You know, this is is very disturbing stuff. You know again, he's trying to make people, you know. Maybe who disagree with government policy and to be being being domestic terrorists.

So, I mean merely disagreeing with the government now, I mean, I I've seen John Brennan other places. He says oh, well you have you have a right to to disagree. But I mean when you you read statements like this, you know, you really wonder you know when you you read stuff in the New York Times by writers who who put the who talk about criminals and Misinformation spreaders in the same sentence.

Well, you really wonder you know, how much of it of a an ability do I actually have to disagree? So, you know, I I don't know, you know, but but it's very disturbing to even hear this kind of thing.

Glenn Greenwald on the Dangers of a Domestic War on Terror

And.

You know another guy that another Again going through Paul Craig Roberts article. He has a link to another Article here and this is a commentary by John Whitehead and it's called enemies of the deep state the government's war on domestic terrorism is a trap and You know again, you know, John Whitehead expresses deep concern serious concern about some of the language and some of the the legislation that's being drafted by the government and the way that they appear to be going after and essentially making war on.

Maybe half the American people. I'm gonna put a link. I'm gonna put a link to all these these various articles here in the in the show notes and the final. Interestingly the final. Let's see if I can get that here.

Our.

Thought I had everything nice and organized here and in and now they I find that I don't be. He's got a piece in there.

By a.

Gentleman by the name of of Glenn Greenwald now Glenn Greenwald is he's an investigative reporter and and he's I Guess you would call him. I don't know if you would call himself a progressive or a liberal.

I'm not sure. He's not he's not somebody who? Is a Republican, you know, he's not. You know conservative Christian or or anything like this. I don't know exactly what his politics are, but he seems to be be an honest guy.

And and here's a quote from. This is a this is a quote here from Glenn Greenwald. This is what Glenn Greenwald said. He said the last two weeks have ushered in a wave of new domestic police powers and rhetoric in the name of fighting Terrorism.

There are carbon copies of many of the worst excesses of the first war on terror that began nearly 20 years ago. This new war on terror When it is domestic in name from the start and carries the explicit purpose of fighting extremists and domestic terrorists among American citizens on US soil.

Presents a whole slew of historically familiar dangers when governments exploiting media generated fear and dangers are themselves with the power to control information debate opinion activism and protests.

So, you know, that's that's Glenn Greenwald again. He's somebody who is I mean, you would probably at least call him a liberal. I think that's probably fair to say that but he gets this he understands this stuff.

Glenn Greenwald has been somebody and I follow his work and he can do some some very good work and. You know, he's also concerned about this so it's you know, there are any number of people who you can can find, you know from Throughout the range of political throughout the political spectrum who are looking at some of the things that are being done and saying hey.

This is dangerous. They. There is a an act a bill before Congress.

It's.

Let's see. It's HR. Blah blah blah. I don't have the the actual number on it but it's called the domestic terrorism Prevention Act the DT PA and I read through it. It's about it's 17 pages and what's really interesting is it's basically a very thinly veiled declaration of war specifically on white people.

If you just did a quick word search 15 times it mentions the term white supremacists and this is on a 17 page document. There are four mentions of the term neo-nazi. But when you search for say Black Lives Matter or Antifa, there's not a single.

There's not a single Mention of this anywhere in In this bill and so basically it seems to be essentially a declaration of war on say conservative or Conservative white people now, the thing is you may say to yourself.

Well, it's talking about white supremacists and I'm not a white supremacist. Therefore. I'm fine. Well, you have to understand that the definition of white supremacist, you know that that's never defined anywhere within this bill and If if you you just kind of read through some of the rhetoric, especially that you've seen over the last year.

But even before that but especially in the last year. Basically a white person and a white supremacist are the same thing. You know if somebody were to ask me, okay, how would I define a white supremacist?

Well, I'd I'd say well it's you know, I maybe somebody that belongs to the Klan or You know, maybe a skinhead or you know somebody that belongs to some, you know, neo-confederate group or something like that.

You know, maybe those people are white supremacist and there are people like that. They're not very many of them, but there are people who are like that. But but that's not the way that that term is employed In in today's language.

I mean if you listen to some of these critical race theory types. Depleting these people who push critical race theory. All white people are white supremacists. All white people are racists and You know, therefore, I mean this this kind of a bill could be You know used just against white people in general.
