| With all respect, and this truly is meant respectfully, what is being honored on Indigenous People Day? | |
| Are Indigenous people being honored? | |
| Now, if one wants to teach about the suffering of Indigenous people at the hands of Europeans, whites, our ancestors here, that's history. | |
| That should be taught. | |
| I was talking to Bill O'Reilly yesterday about his latest book on killing the mob. | |
| He wrote a book, Killing a Crazy Horse. | |
| I read it. | |
| And it's a very dark chapter in American history, The Treatment of the Indian. | |
| I fully acknowledge that. | |
| But I don't know exactly what there is to celebrate. | |
| I celebrate Columbus Day because I celebrate Western civilization. | |
| The first place in the history of the world. | |
| To believe in universal human rights. | |
| We didn't get universal human rights from indigenous peoples. | |
| We didn't get women's rights from indigenous peoples. | |
| We didn't even get an alphabet from indigenous peoples. | |
| This is not a knock in any way, God forbid. | |
| But I think I'd like to just understand, what are you celebrating? | |
| That is... | |
| I know what I'm celebrating on Martin Luther King Day. | |
| I know what I'm celebrating on July 4th. | |
| I know what I'm celebrating on Thanksgiving. | |
| I know what I'm celebrating on Christmas. | |
| What am I celebrating on Indigenous Peoples Day? | |
| You don't have an answer to that either. | |
| No, no, no. | |
| What does it mean to celebrate a people? | |
| You celebrate an achievement. | |
| Needless to say, if I were at a university and said what I just said, I would be fired. | |
| I would be picketed. | |
| I would be cursed. | |
| One of the last places in America that you can actually say anything that the left differs with is talk radio and some of the programs on Fox. | |
| I'm talking about electronic media. | |
| And of course, podcasts. | |
| Although they suppress them. | |
| Didn't you send me something about Facebook today? | |
| Oh, that it shut down former President Trump? | |
| It's keeping him shut down? | |
| Isn't that astonishing? | |
| The last President of the United States cannot have a Facebook account? | |
| And Facebook is allowed to continue like that? | |
| In business? | |
| There is no threat to free speech from the government. | |
| The threat to free speech is from private enterprise. | |
| Lenin is quoted as having said that Western businesses will compete with one another to sell the Communists the rope with which they will hang them. | |
| You are seeing that phrase every day. |
