Time Text
No, I also got a nice award from the good people at Accuracy and Media, the Reed Irvine organization.
Which is uh nice.
I have them side by side, actually, the Edward Armoreau and the Accuracy in Media uh award, which uh next time I got much later.
No, I wasn't saying it should be part of part of my resume or anything like that here.
But here's a uh here's a great headline uh that uh has them all confused from fusion.
Trump's immigration plan could deport more Europeans and Canadians than Mexicans.
Well now see they misunderstand everything, don't they, in the in the news media.
Donald Trump's aggressive new plan.
Is it aggressive to enforce uh existing laws and secure our border?
I guess that's and new, it's new, I guess because the Democrats don't want to have a border at all.
Plan to create a deportation task force, so it'll create a deep that that you know how many task forces Barack Obama has created in the last eight years that nobody ever heard from again?
Perhaps inadvertently could end up targeting more undocumented immigrants from Europe and Canada than the Mexicans he's been trashing so hard during his campaign.
Well, listen, if you're in the country illegally, um leave, please.
Here's the here's the first it's a nice request.
I think you know we have laws, we have immigration laws.
If you have a visa and you've overstayed your visa, it's just as I would respect the laws of Canada and and the laws of Mexico, and I've been to Canada and Mexico and a whole lot of other countries too.
You respect the laws of your host country.
And if you don't, then why would you expect one major political party to bend over backward to accommodate your illegal conduct?
I just something I'm kind of incapable of understanding, but but I guess I'm not a liberal anymore anyway.
During his lengthy immigration policy speech on Wednesday night, Trump said his new special deportation task force, they put that in quotation marks, would focus on deporting criminals, gang members, security threats, and immigrants who have overstayed their visas.
How dare he?
Uh now are you guys uh down there at Fusion?
Are you in favor of deporting gang members, uh criminals, security threats?
Uh are those okay with you?
But not people that overstay their visas because they're much better or something?
Is that is that what you're pretending here?
Last year alone, nearly a half million individuals overstayed their temporary visas.
Removing these overstays will be a top priority of my administration.
You know that several, if not more, of the September eleventh hijackers were here legally came into the country on visas, which they then overstayed.
Uh I just I'm I'm puzzled by Democrats these days and liberals.
What other laws would you like to completely ignore?
What what other anything else?
Is there another category of laws that you'd like to completely ignore uh ignore?
Uh President Obama's been releasing a lot of people from prisons lately by executive fiat, of course, because they're just drug offenders.
They're just they're just drug offenders.
Of course, most of the violence in the United States of America, most of the violent crime in the United States of America, comes about as a result of gangs, drugs, the drug money, and the gun fights uh that uh that ensue and all of that good stuff.
You know, I I I've got to say that this doesn't wrankle me because it wasn't about targeting people from Mexico.
That's not really what this is about.
Uh there are millions and millions of people in the country illegally in a time of a rising tide of radical Islam.
We had the Pulse Nightclub.
By the way, you know, Omar Mateen, the Pulse Nightclub guy, this is something that nobody ever asks Hillary about, was a Hillary supporter.
He murdered 49 people at the gay pulse nightclub in Orlando.
And he, according to his best friend being interviewed in the New York Times, said his friend said that that he was a Bernie supporter, but that Omar Mateen was a Hillary supporter.
And I promise you, if the news media went to his house, his car was in the driveway, and there were Obama and Hillary bumper stickers on it, that that video tape would never see the light of day.
Because that's how that works.
That's the name of that tune, as uh Baretta used to say.
But Donald Trump, well, there's some oh, David Duke.
What a what a what a rectal aperture that man is.
Can we just put him to rest and be done with Him.
David Duke says he supports Donald Trump.
Well, Donald Trump doesn't endorse David Duke.
Next question.
But Omar Mateen was a big supporter of Hillary Clinton, according to his best friend.
And somehow that never makes it into the QA when of course Hillary doesn't subject herself to any QA, does she?
No, she doesn't.
And that's fine with the press too.
What is it?
270 how many days?
275 days, 274 days since Hillary Clinton held a press conference.
And then they pretend that they and and uh who is it?
Tim Kane lied uh a couple of days ago.
Well, Hillary held a press conference with the black and Hispanic journalists uh thing.
I I challenge anyone to show me a press conference taking place there.
There are a couple of questions like, gosh, you're neat, how did you become so neat?
And how many times can I vote for you?
They had pro oh was a total kiss up, and it was it wasn't billed as a as a uh press conference.
And after the fact, when people made fun of the so-called journalists, the minority journalists, is there a white journalists association anywhere?
When people made fun of the black journalists in the Hispanic uh whatever Latino Journalist Association for their existence, and then for uh having this event where they just sucked up to Hillary Clinton for a little while, they said, Well, look, it wasn't a press conference, and I can show you videotape of them saying, Well, that's this look, this wasn't a press conference.
He can't hold them to that standard.
This isn't a press conference.
And then Tim Kane comes out and said, Well, she held a press conference when she went to the they just talk out of both sides of their pie holes uh nonstop, and and they get away with it pretty much every time because they're talking to CNN and MSNBC, and that's how that goes.
Speaking of Dwayne Wade, I love this whole Dwayne Wade Donald Trump thing.
I was very tragic situation.
Dwayne Wade, who plays for the Chicago Bulls, professional basketball player, uh lives in Chicago.
His cousin was murdered by gangbangers, one of whom was wearing his ankle bracelet because he was out on parole, and the other, they were two brothers, had the ankle bracelet removed so he could go out and look for a job.
They just forgot that his job was shooting people.
So he went out and the and these uh two brothers, they went out and they were shooting at somebody on the street, and oops, accidentally shot NBA player Dwayne Wade's cousin, a woman named Nikea Aldrich.
She was walking down the street, sweet as you please, minding her own business, pushing a baby stroller with her baby in it.
She's a mother of four, and she was shot four times.
Now, how how does that how does that even happen?
You accidentally shoot somebody out on the street once, but it's like, oh, I accidentally shot her.
Oh, I accidentally shot her a second time.
Oh, uh uh third, third, I'm sorry I shot you four times.
I was aiming for that guy over there.
You know, gun control means um hitting what you're aiming at.
All right, let's let's start with that.
So the politico has a story that Dwayne Wade is upset, says the Trump tweet, Donald Trump tweeted about it because he's been saying, in some neighborhoods in America, and talking about African American neighborhoods in particular, you can get shot just for walking down the street.
And it's oh, come on, and the Democrats say, okay, that's ridiculous.
So it obviously it happens all the time, especially in Chicago.
And along comes this situation, which the news media suddenly paid attention to only because she is the cousin of an NBA player.
It is in the news.
Donald Trump sees it.
He sent out a tweet about it, and his tweet was not something that I would have sent.
In fact, I'd take his Twitter machine away from him.
He tweeted out Dwayne Wade's cousin was just shot and killed, walking her baby in Chicago, just what I've been saying.
Little ham-handed, I'll give you.
African Americans will vote Trump.
Vote Trump in caps with an exclamation mark.
I don't really do a lot of exclamation marks myself, but that's uh I consider it to be kind of you know, I don't know, high school girl or something.
Two or three exclamation marks.
That's that's better.
No, I don't really do that.
But any case, the Trump so he and then he was attacked.
Oh, how dare you politicize this?
Well, really?
How dare you ignore it?
Huh?
I mean how for how long are we going to And the problem is, of course, this is a Democrat city, it has been since the Civil War or something.
Crooked Democrats, the dead vote.
I have cousins that register that have in the past.
I don't know if they do it anymore.
Register tombstones to vote.
I have relatives, actually actual relatives in Chicago that laugh about it and tell jokes about registering tombstones, and then the tombstones show up and vote on election day in Chicago.
It goes on all over the place.
They love that stuff.
It's corrupt, it's crooked.
It's the Democrat Party.
It's like Aleppo Syria when it comes to uh comes to the uh dangers and all this stuff.
And uh and now, um uh uh Dwayne Wade is a little angry about this.
In his first comment since Donald Trump marked the shooting death of his cousin in Chicago with a tweet declaring it more evidence that African Americans would vote for Trump, basketball star Dwayne Wade said the Republican nominee's message left him feeling, quote, kind of conflicted.
Kind of conflicted.
I'm I'm kind of conflicted every day.
You know, it's like on the one hand, he said, your cousin's death is used as a ploy for political gain, Wayne told ABC News's George Stephanopoulos, who's a Clinton administration official, just by the way, welcome to the Soviet Union, in an interview airing Friday on Good Morning America.
But Wade acknowledged that the violence in his hometown of Chicago is a national story, adding, I want eyes on this city.
Well, let me tell you something.
Uh the only way to get eyes on this city is uh to pay attention to stuff like this.
So Donald Trump got eyes on the city.
Now the Democrats will bury it again, just like they bury all those people in Chicago.
We'll be right back.
Name of the movie, the title of the movie is Greater.
One word, greater.
I have to tell you, I watched the movie last night.
I can't believe that I had not heard of Brandon Bullsworth or the or the story.
You know me.
I'm the most informed man in America.
But I'm not a college football devotee, so that may be it.
But I stopped short in listing some of the awards.
There's the Brandon Burlsworth Award, given out yearly to a male or female at Harrison Haskrul and the University of Arkansas.
There's the Burlesworth Trophy, created in 2010, named in his honor.
It's given yearly to the most outstanding Division One college football player who began his career as a walk-on.
There are numerous foundations and charities associated with the not disabilities, but the challenges that Burlsworth had to overcome to succeed.
Now, it wouldn't be what it is if all there was was athletic achievement, which is phenomenal, but it was the kind of person he was.
He is the most famous walk-on success story in college football.
And to this day, there is a national award given to the college football player who achieves the most as a walk-on every year.
He was teased, he was ridiculed, he was bullied, he was laughed at, he was told he couldn't do it.
And he never stopped smiling.
The personality that Brandon Bullsworth had throughout all of this adversity, as portrayed in this movie, which, by the way, is a multi-year project.
A lot of heart and soul has gone into the making of this movie.
Neil McDonough is the lead actor, plays the brother, the much older brother.
You know the thing about this, folks.
I mean, what this really is an incredible, genuinely incredible story about the values that you and I all hold dear, that we hold on to, that we to this day trust make the difference in success and failure, happiness and misery, hard work, perseverance, competition, leadership, faith.
All of that takes place in this movie with S. E. C. football as the backdrop.
Because this man's life was culminated with his success story at Arkansas.
You can't help but be moved by this.
It isn't, it could have been cheesy, it isn't.
It's inspiring.
This is backbone of America.
So when I when I describe on this program talking to you about the people who make this country work, it's it's things like this that I have in mind.
People that come from places in the country you've not heard of who are just out living and trying to do the best they can.
No connections, no networking.
Nobody knew anybody.
Nobody in his family knew anybody to call it Arkansas.
He had to earn every step of it.
That was, of course, uh obviously Rush Limbaugh talking about uh the movie Greater, which is in theaters now.
And uh we have with us on the line Nick Searsey, who is an actor in the movie.
Uh and uh we're Rush Limbaugh loves this movie.
I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm gonna have to find it and and go check it out.
We're also gonna have Marty Burlsworth on, who's the older brother of the the featured character, Brandon Burlsworth, with uh an extraordinary story as you're just hearing Rush Limbaugh describe.
And Nick, thanks for uh thanks for being with us today.
So thanks for having me on, Chris.
It's it's really an honor, and Rush has just been amazing in his uh support and love for this movie.
I mean, I I uh I had hoped he would have this reaction when when I sent it to him, and and we're just so proud and pleased that he has.
Well, this is the kind of movie that really doesn't come along very often, right?
I mean Hollywood is not in the habit of making movies like this.
It kind of because football is a backdrop, it it kind of reminds me of maybe a Rudy uh that that type of story, but uh very different characters certainly certainly than really.
Why don't you tell me about the what this this movie's is it about football, is it about something else?
Well, I mean, I think the movie is pretty aptly titled uh in greater it's about football, but of course the movie addresses uh an a universal and and deeper issue, and and you know, always in tragedies like this.
I mean, Brandon Burlsworth uh was killed in an auto accident at age twenty-two, and I don't think I'm giving anything away by that.
The movie opens with that.
But uh you know, the fact of the matter is whenever something happens like that, the questions that you immediately go to i are why did this happen?
Why what kind of a god would allow something this unfair to occur?
And I think that's really ultimately what the movie is about, not only what Brandon Burlsworth life meant, but is there a greater meaning in all of this life for all of us?
And uh uh yeah, most movies aren't that ambitious.
Right.
So this is uh uh i it's it's about is it spiritual, is it religious, is it uh values-based movie?
Is that the what is the underpinning the theme?
But there's something about this movie that's different from a lot of the traditionalist uh values, you know, what what's called a faith-based film, in that his uh Brandon Burlsworth Christianity and his his spiritual life was is just part of the story.
There's no way to tell the story without telling that.
So it's not it's not something that's been imposed on it.
It's not some story that somebody set out to try to prove a certain point.
It's uh it's integral to the story.
His faith is part of why he is who he is.
And I think that also makes the movie unique among this category of film.
What's uh what is your character in the film?
What do you play?
Well, yeah, it's uh I play a character called the Farmer, and I'm sort of this mysterious guest that shows up at the uh at the funeral and talks to Marty Burlsworth, and I jokingly tell people that I'm sort of the voice of reason in the movie.
But um but it's a key role.
It's an integral role.
It's uh it's very important to the telling of the story.
Well, I think one of the unique things about this movie that also sets it apart is that it doesn't shy away from the concept of doubt.
And and it addresses it head on, because I think whenever any sort of tragedy like like this happens in in a person's life, you d doubt springs in.
You you have to deal with that.
You have to you have to confront the fact that you're you're facing an unfair universe and how you know the questions raised in the movie, how how could God allow this to occur?
How can God allow injustice to occur in the world?
And uh I think this movie doesn't shy away from that, and that's sort of what my character brings to it.
Now this is a project that uh as Rush was saying, it was years in the making.
It took years to to get it done.
It's and is is Hollywood treating Hollywood writ large treating this movie.
Is it getting broad release?
Is it uh and and it's in theaters now.
It's Labor Day weekend, looking to do well this weekend around the country, right?
Yeah, I mean, this is this is the kind of movie that has to kind of s begin outside of the Hollywood system.
We're in we're in a few select theaters right now, and this weekend is very crucial.
And what Rush has done by giving us this platform is to allow us to get the word out because a movie like this has to spread by word of mouth.
It doesn't have a budget for a lot of advertising dollars.
And the the more people that go and see this movie and support it, the more Hollywood is gonna sit up and take notice and say, Well, there's money to be made in those kind of movies.
Maybe we need to do more of them because that's the one.
Nick, let me ask you to let me ask you to hang on for a second.
Let me ask you to hang on for a second through the break if I could.
We're going to come back with Marty Burlesworth also.
We have on the line Nick Searcy, who is an actor, star of stage and screen...
I don't know if you actually do stage or not.
Uh the movie Greater in Theaters now.
Uh a great story uh uh uh of uh college football walk-on, Brandon Burlsworth.
Uh an inspiring story, not the kind of thing that Holly uh hollywood normally produces.
And it's uh in theaters today, this weekend.
Gotta get out and see it and uh and support this noble cause.
And uh also we have Marty on the line as uh Mr. Bus Nerdly and Marty Brillsworth, the older brother of Brandon Brillsworth also on the line.
So we've got uh what I think in the Clinton House they call a little three-way going here.
So thanks for uh thanks for being here, Marty.
I appreciate your uh taking the time and uh absolutely thanks for having me on.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, you bet.
Now why why don't you why don't you uh tell us the story of uh of your brother and why this movie matters.
Well, you know, we're just proud and certainly honored that that uh that you know the the the d the uh desire was there to to make a movie about Brandon.
We certainly as a family felt like felt like it needed to be done.
I mean uh Brandon worked very hard.
He came out of Harrison High School at Harrison, Arkansas, uh, as a walk-on football player at University of Arkansas in nineteen ninety-four, came in way overweight, uh worked extremely hard to get that weight off.
He actually put that weight on uh on on purpose to get bigger for football, but you know, finished his career uh as a scholarship player, a three-year starter, finished also as a first team all-American, and uh was a sixty-third overall pick by the Indianapolis Colts, and you know, you look back and this is from a guy that did not have one division one scholarship offer.
So I mean, quite a work ethic and quite a story from a former walk home.
Yeah, and he he started out, uh reading about him and said he was he was three hundred pounds, but he wasn't solid rock, he was kind of pudgy.
So they shaved uh shaved forty pounds off of him, and then he put the forty pound and he got lean and and strong, and then put forty more pounds back on, but all muscle this time.
So three hundred pounds of uh solid Arkansas rock.
And uh and then to the Indianapolis Colts, and uh it's looking like uh a brilliant life.
And then tragically, in 1999, age of twenty-two, uh killed in a in a car accident, and you and your family must have been devastated.
Yeah, and uh absolutely and and that's uh one thing uh you know, great or the movie does such a fantastic job on is how do you you know I know the the big challenge was how do you put this uh script together where you leave the theater feeling good?
And they did it.
I mean they really did it.
Nick Cersei and Neil McDonough, everybody that worked on this project.
I know they're all very proud of it.
I know our family is is proud of it because you leave the theater inspired.
It's it's an incredible story, and uh we've heard over and over again since it's opened.
The reviews are just you know tremendous.
Uh just because of you know what he stood for, how he's he has his faith first, and then had faith in himself and you know, wouldn't listen to doubt saying that you're not good enough, you can't do this.
You know, why are you even trying?
That wasn't Brandon.
Brandon was just gonna be the one that overcame, and people, you know, across the nation are learning that, and that's uh you know, hopefully this weekend uh I know like Nick said that uh they'll get out in mass numbers this weekend to to experience this life and what Brandon the example he set.
And this is a movie that started kind of outside the conventional Hollywood uh system.
It it uh it started slow and it's and it and it I know Rush Limbaugh has taken it up, and I'm sure that that all by itself has has helped a great deal.
But it Hollywood didn't put it out there as a major massive blockbuster in thousands of theaters.
No, no, it's I mean, it's certainly started out on a smaller scale.
Now we are in several states, and we want to stay in those states, and we really need uh, you know, the public that believe in this message to be out this weekend, fill those theaters up so that we can pr uh get Brandon's message out to more theaters across the country.
We really want this we think this is something that that our country needs.
That uh that there's good things that p there are good people out there and and uh that you know are really trying to do things right.
But I know we had talked to uh producers out of Hollywood years ago about doing Brandon's movie, and no one could give us our family any assurance that his movie or that his life story would be told in the way we wanted to.
They couldn't give us any assurance that his fate would remain in a film.
And if you take that away, you take Brandon away.
So, you know, that's that was just such a part of him, and that's what he leaned on.
And uh, you know, it's just uh uh pr incredible, incredible story of of overcoming obstacle after obstacle, and and we really think the masses need to see this film.
It needs to be in every state in the country.
Well, it's such a rarity that that Hollywood produces movies as uh the movie that you describe that uh you know that uh it is a remarkable thing.
Look, um uh Brandon, um uh you're wonderful.
I uh were you involved in the making of the motion picture, you hang out with the Hollywood people and do all that stuff?
Myself.
Yes, you yourself.
Oh, I've I've I've got to be on set a little bit.
That's that's about it.
I've learned how to hang out, but I got to see Nick last week, so that was that was pretty cool.
Nick did a tremendous job in in in the film.
I mean, such an integral part of of the of the movie.
It really all comes together.
David Hunt, Brian Randall that did the script, just did an incredible job.
I mean, I can't say uh how happy we are as our family, because as my mother said, Brandon's message comes through, and that's what's most important to us.
Uh well, it's uh it's a very important film.
It's uh something that needs more attention.
It needs uh it's uh it's again, it's like uh the the movie Rudy is is where I keep going because it was a football movie, but this is this is uh a different uh sort of tale.
And and it's the tale it's the type of tale that is not told nearly frequently enough.
And uh listen, Marty, I'm sorry.
Marty, thank you for uh for being here with us.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Thank you for having me on Thanksgiving.
Thanks to everybody that is that has helped to get the word out of this movie.
Let's all get behind it, and hopefully we'll be just seeing really great things.
All right.
Marty M Marty Burrosworth, thank you very much for uh being here, brother of Brandon Burlsworth and Nick Searcy, appreciate your time, really appreciate your uh uh being with us today.
Well, thank you, Chris, and I just want to remind everybody there's one more added bonus about this movie that that means they need to go see it this weekend, and that's that I am in it.
You are a Hollywood guy.
That's right.
I am in it.
And therefore you must go see it.
You must see it.
All right, Nick uh Nick Sarah, don't wait for it to come out on DVD.
Don't wait for it to uh go on the cable.
Because honestly, when movies come out like this, and I and we're gonna have Dinesh D'Souze on in a little bit, when these movies come out, um uh Americans, people of faith, good people need to go out and see these movies and establish the fact, and it is a fact, that if Hollywood puts these movies out, if they produce these movies, invest the money and the time and the energy and put them in broad distribution that they do very well.
Look, Hollywood uh in the end is is a business town.
It's uh it's a one business town.
And if they're making money, if they see they can make money doing films that take into account uh people's faith, uh pro-American films, then they will they will make those films.
They're they might be reluctant, but if they can make a lot of money, they'll uh they'll do the films.
So Marty Nick, thank uh thank you guys very much.
I appreciate you both being here.
My pleasure.
The film is called uh Greater.
It's in theaters now, and uh you need to check it on the Google machine and get out there and uh and buy your tickets.
All right, we're back.
This is Chris Plant sitting in for Rush Limbaugh today.
Rush will be back on Tuesday after the Labor Day holiday weekend.
Couple of days off, do some stuff, not worry about it for a couple of hours.
And on the line, because we have another kind of an an amazing movie story, and this is an amazing movie story.
Uh the Dinesh D'Souza movie, Hillary's America, there was Obama's America, and Hillary's America now was in theaters and Dinesh D'Souza is with us right now.
And uh and Hillary's America, Dinesh D'Souza's latest movie is is quite remarkable for a whole range of reasons.
And well, we went and saw it.
My best girl and I went and saw it the moment it came out, and we may have to go see it again now that it's back in theaters.
And and I I'm definitely gonna buy the DVD, and I might buy some to give away as gifts to people who are voting Democrat and don't know what they're talking about on any of the major subjects that we're discussing right now.
But uh Dinesh, thanks for uh thanks for being here today.
It's great to be on the show.
It's uh it's exciting because our movie is um being re-released this weekend, starting today in four hundred theaters around the country, and that's very unusual for a movie.
It reflects very strong demand and also the timeliness of the movie, which is sort of ground zero of the election debate, with Trump having jumped all over a number of themes that we stress in the movie.
Yeah, and I uh the the subtitle of the movie is great, Hillary's America, The Secret History of the Democratic Party.
This is uh uh I don't know if you've been asked this.
Why is their history a secret?
It's a secret because the progressive Democrats dominate academia, the media, and Hollywood.
And when you control those three megaphones, you can put out a lot of disinformation.
So they've told a kind of fanciful story about American politics in which the South and the white guy and America are the villains, whereas in fact it's the Democratic Party that is the actual perpetrator of many of the vilest deeds of American history.
Well, I I would I would go beyond many, I'd take uh almost when it comes to racial blights on our history.
Virtually every single one of them is traceable back to a Democrat from the Trail of Tears and that moving of the Indian tribes, uh uh Andrew Jackson through FDR throwing the Japanese into internment camps in World War II, and every blight you look at, Sheriff Bull Connor uh was I was I was kind of I think you me to need to make a part two of this movie, because there's a lot more to throw in.
You didn't you you did a beautiful job, and it's starting out with showing you going through the Obama administration putting you in jail and all of this, and it's and it's remarkable to watch, and it's and it's uh it's very watchable, and it's easily digested the the information that you provide.
But uh there's a part two in there because you didn't get everything in.
I know it's impossible in two hours to get every sin and crime of the Democrat Party.
The headlines are changing every day, and here's Hillary accusing Donald Trump of being associated with the KKK.
Right.
This is based upon five toothless white supremacists who endorsed Trump.
Now the Democrats started the Klan.
They revived the Klan in the early part of the twentieth century.
All the thousands of people who have been hunted down, burned, and killed by the Klan, these people were killed by Democrats.
Uh the vast majority of grand dragons and leaders of the Klan have been Democrats, and the Democrats lionized their clansmen.
I mean, when Robert Byrd died in in two thousand ten, Hillary called him her mentor.
Bill Flinton was there praising him at his funeral.
Meanwhile, David Duke is firmly repudiated by the Republican Party.
So Trump is being blamed for something that has nothing to do with him.
Yeah, the the uh the clan bake, it was as it was called, the Democratic Convention in nineteen twenty-four, where they kind of breathed life back into the KKK, which had gone away, but the Democrat Convention brought it back.
That was here in New York, I believe, and they the rallies in New Jersey and uh and so on.
And through the nineteen sixties when I was a small child, Sheriff Bull Cunner was an elected Democrat, and he was a leader in the Democratic Party statewide, who led a walkout at the National Convention, standing in schoolhouse doors, Orville Fawbus at Central High and Little Rock, Democrat.
Republican Dwight Eisenhower sent down the hundred and first Airborne to move the Democrat out of the way.
The schoolhouse door, George Wallace, Democrat, uh standing in the schoolhouse door in Albion.
It just goes on and on and on and on.
And if you're looking for a Republican playing a role in this, you're looking for the the people that were pushing the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act over the objection of people like Al Gore's father and Richard Russell of Georgia, who the Democrats named a building after on Capitol Hill.
Well, this is very powerful information for Republicans and conservatives.
It essentially gives us the high ground in the race debate and strips the moral capital away from the Democratic Party.
Because the Democratic Party perpetrates this myth.
Look, the South used to be Democratic and it used to be racist, but it's now Republican, and therefore all the racists have now become Republicans.
Nonsense.
The South became Republican in the 70s and 80s because of the Reaganite appeal of patriotism and free market.
So this is a smear on the South being done by the progressive Democrats to cover up their own dirty hands and their own dirty tracks.
That's uh precisely right, exactly right.
And all uh early political leaders, African American political leaders in the United States were Afra were were were Republicans.
And And it's, you know, they've got the I mentioned the Richard Russell Senate office building on Capitol Hill.
Richard Russell was a dedicated segregationist and racist, and the building honestly shouldn't be named after him to this day.
And I've suggested that they rename the building after Hiram Revels, who you no doubt know, the first African American uh member of the Senate, who was, of course, a Republican.
Well, Trump is having an African American round table today, and he made the remarkable statement that the Republican Party is the natural home of African Americans.
That's a very powerful thing that Trump is doing.
No Republican candidate in my lifetime has gone in this direction.
I'd like to urge people to see the movie this weekend, because that puts fuel in our rocket, helps us get to more theaters, and helps the movie reach independence and Democrats.
So our website is just Hillary's America the Movie dot com.
And you also laid out the uh the case of several individuals in your movie of uh early uh African American Republicans fighting for a civil rights for freed slaves, and so and of course they're all they're all Republicans and some beautiful storytelling of beautiful stories in the film.
We tried to make a movie that's not only informative but entertaining and moving, and it's amazing to see how at the end of every performance, doesn't matter what your politics are, we see the whole theater stand up and applaud.
And how often do you see that in a movie these days?
Yeah, uh uh essentially essentially never.
So it is coming back out, and there are some great headlines.
Hillary's America hitting screens again as race heats.
Hillary's America getting theatrical re-release due to popular demand.
These are the headlines uh that are out there, and I have seen the movie.
I did rush out to see it.
I uh I want to support this movie and movies like it.
And uh I I can't recommend the movie highly enough, quite honestly, Dinesh D'Souza.
It's a great weekend to go see a movie, and if I may say so, Hillary's America the movie.com.
That's where you can plug in your zip code and see where it's playing near you.
All right, there it is.
Dinesh D'Souza, thanks for being with us.
I appreciate your time.
And uh, this is another one people need to get out and see and support for America, Dag Nabbit.
Thanks, Dinesh.
Thank you.
I've got good news.
After Barack Obama leaves the presidency in January, he's gonna keep working on the climate.
So we got they got that, and that's uh it's a good thing.
I'm glad that he'd be doing something like that, something benign that will have no consequence whatsoever.
He can continue to push for the slow of the rise of the oceans.
That was one of his promises.
Has he made good I I wonder if Matt Lauer in the gang uh at the end of Barack Obama's presidency are going to put together a scorecard.
He said he would slow the rise of the oceans.
Has he?
He said he would heal the planet.
But has he healed the planet?
Barackus Husseinus Obamas.
Healer.
I can't wait.
He is going to be gone and the clock is starting to tick out loud, like Marissa Tome's biological clock.
And you can hear it's the last this and the last that and and uh the last vacation in Hawaii, the last vacation on Martha's Vineyard.
Oh, it's it's kind of sad, isn't it?
It's terribly sad, it's tragic.
As long as we don't get Hillary and Bill Beck in the White House, you know.
You know, will Hillary do you think use the resolute desk, the Oval Office desk that her husband used uh with Monica Lewinsky and and all the you think she maybe she's gonna have to go to Office Depot and get a new desk of some kind.
I'm Chris Plant.
