Transcripts For CSPAN2 In Depth With Nick Adams 20170220

Really about to come full circle and im thrilled every day i wake up and i thank god that im here in the greatest country in the history of the world. This is a place where you can do anything, where youre free to be yourself, where personality hasnt been downsized and where i feel most comfortable when i get on the beach, 16, 18 lane freeways in texas where ive chosen to live and i think the best state in the union. Im just settling down and sometimes i look around and its the plethora of options that you have for eating or drinking or shopping. Theres really no place like it. The freedom is palpable. Its very much discernible and perhaps thats something that someone who spent the first years of their life letting someone else has more of a perspective on then say a nativeborn american that has not experienced life anywhere else they may have been of a place that never for such an extended period of time living in those places. I can tell you as someone that had the chance to livein australia for an extended period of time in germany and greece , there is no place like it. Theres no culture like america. Theres no feeling like being an american. Patriotism, the excitement, the energy, the optimism. All of these things are just remarkable, theyre incredible and is why america has been the number one destination for immigrants and remains that way and always will be that way because its just quite unlike anywhere else. How is it different than australia . Australia is a great country but australia is not a kind of place where you can blaze a trail or leave a legacy or holler outside of the lines or take a risk or do something different. What happens in australia is if you differentiate yourself , whether its through ambition, whether its through success, even whether its through perceived success, you are rejected. Media, the public, the culture gangs up on you because there is this idea that we all need to be the same, theres this idea that its not right to not conform , that weve got to color inside the lines. Theres something called the tall poppy syndrome, the interviewers today may be familiar with this, essentially we all know what poppy is. Poppy is a flower and hobby grows much like humans but it different kinds of sizes and shapes and ranchers like to come along and cut off the sides. So make them all the same because it looks prettier. Thats basically the analogy that exists, the moment that someone gets a little bit bigger than the pack, all of a sudden they have their wings clipped. All of a sudden there they become a target. Instead of almost every single famous australian that americans would be familiar with, as a failure. They live here in the United States of america because its a place where you want to be successful. This is the place where people look up to people that have done well. When i go into a barnes and noble, when i go into bookstores, i love reading. Im always absolutely, im still to this day taken aback by the size of the health and personal development section. Its uniquely american trade. That was to learn from people that have made it, do not believe that they just are lackeys. Do not believe that there further off than i am, they had a different life. The success is a real aspirational trait that exists deep in the american psyche. And its one that i love and ive always identified with. Thats what led me to write what i wrote. And being an australian, or an american trapped in an australian body. Because i had that desire to be the best i could possibly be. I have always been someone that has tried to be great. Not be a joker and while it may seem a little bit harsh, i think its fair to say that in australian culture and australians, we tend to aspire to mediocrity rather than greatness. What were your First Impressions as a child of america . My journey with america really began at a very young age. I was diagnosed at the age of seven with stage iv neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer. And one thats notoriously difficult to diagnose and when it is diagnosed, its almost always already metastasized and in my case it was no different. My tumor was in my abdomen and in and metastasized all throughout my body and for a long time, many many months, my parents had brought me to doctor after doctor, to pediatricians, to anybody and everybody thatcan help. And no one could identify, no one could diagnose what was wrong with me. Youve got to think that this was the center of , when i was diagnosed with this, it was 1985, late 1985,australia. 12 Million People, 30 Million People. And no one could tell me what was wrong with me. At night, they did what i think they done on one or two prior occasions. They had no choice because i was so unsettled. And the emergency ward, lots of children also. And that night there was one overnight doctor there. There was a young man in a smiling face and he had an accent and as he looked me over, he smiled and it disappeared quickly and he looked at me and said im not sure and theres not much i can do for you right now but i think i might have seen this before. I think that he says, what your child has, you need to make sure youre getting into the test first thing tomorrow because this thing looks advanced. And sure enough, the next morning i was going to the hospital and these tests were conducted, they specifically were ordered and it turned out to be right. That doctor was an american. So im kind of saying that i have only studied american exceptionalism, ive lived it. Im alive because of it. Then of course there was the myriad of hollywood movies and shows that i was exposed to, of course most americans dont realize that 90 percent of the australian media market has been and remains american. All of the same shows, people watch here are shows in the movies that we want in australia, and i had the great chance to watch many of my favorite movies, the rocky series was one of my favorite movies and to this day every time when i travel to washington dc, and new york for fox news or something else, i always have to get out on the amtrak in philadelphia and go to the art museum. Im a bit of a rocky junkie. I know every single line of every single movie. And for me, that really exemplified the american idea and the american story of the young adult, against all opposition imaginable, getting a chance. Getting an opportunity and being able to make the most of it so those kind of movies and then i grew up watching full house, and how and all the other good stuff, many 80s children will remember. And all that felt so wholesome, so patriotic. And i always wanted to be a part of it. I remember being a years old and telling my parents and telling my teachers what i wanted to come to america. They all thought that i was insane. Here was this child, born in australia whose family hails from greece. This maternal family hails from germany. Talking about going to america and even my mom and dad who are extraordinarily welltraveled people who the one country, the one place they never been to was america. So no one in the family had been to america. This eightyearold who was fascinated and enamored with the place and saying i want to go there and i want to people. Nobody could understand it. It wasnt until i got to be older and i was reading biographies by people like Arnold Schwarzenegger and i got to know the stories of people like Stuart Varney and people like you i must. That i realized that its not just me. There are a lot of people that an extremely young age have this unexpected magnetism for america. Its been well documented and most of those people who come here and not doing phenomenal things because its so grateful and appreciative of the countries and the idea and the culture and atmosphere that fostered here. And thats certainly what i want to be about. Nick adams, whats the process of becoming a permanent residentlike . Its difficult, peter. Its really difficult. Probably the hardest thing ive ever had to do in my case. It took me four years , it took me plus 50,000. It was torture. It was something i will never, ever forget. Against all adversity, it made me stronger and it made me more grateful for what i have. But ive got to tell you, i was put through the ringer. So i applied to be an very ability permanent resident. Thats basically but for ways that you can, to the United States of america as a permanent resident, is either by coming to work here and going through the certification and becoming a permanent resident , marrying an american, winning the green card lottery. Every single year there are a certain amount of green cards that are given out like an automated lottery. And the fourth way is the extraordinary ability green card. The extraordinary ability green card is not open to that many people because its a very elite, very exclusive green card. You have to essentially prove that you have reason for the top five percent of your chosen field. There is extensive documentation about your life and people in the field that you are cleaning exceptionalism in. In the process of putting the application together itself is one year and i managed to get some of the biggest names in america to support my application and it was submitted, and then it took another year or more to get the approval of that by the United States Immigration Services and the very last step peter in all of this is, the way it works is in order to collect your green card you have to physically enter the United States so the green card is not mailed out to you. You have to actually physically interview and collected and in order to be able to do that, the state Department Needs to issue the immigrant visa. So the United States and Immigration Service which falls under the part of homeland security, they make the dissemination on whether or not you are eligible for the green card that youve applied for. But the state department has to grant you the immigrant visa that will permit you to actually collect the green card. So in my case, i had an approval by the United States to do Immigration Services for my extraordinary ability green card and that means the heavy lifting is done. It has been made and all that remains is the paperwork and thenwhat is meant to be a very routine , very procedural rubberstamp kind of interview at the us consulate which, or amnesty, whatever is closest to you. And you go in there with your passport, your police check and a medical check, your birth certificate. Its kind of like if i could use an analogy, youve got a ticket to fly somewhere and you check in and then you go through security, through the tsa and you get to the gate and at the gate you still got to show your boarding pass. Kind of like being at the gate and having to show your boarding pass. Everything has been done and it really is to make sure that youre the person that your application said that you were. Its really quite meant to be an opportunity to relitigate the decision of the United States citizenship of Immigration Services. In my case, thats exactly what happened. And i got an individual at the us consulate that proceeded to send my life completely upside down. I parents as well. And that application, the individual held onto my passport for seven weeks without any explanation. They didnt expand in australia. My passport was returned to me with a onepage letter which three paragraphs were printed. And all it said was dear mister adams, after reviewing your application and the interview that we had, we decided to return your approved application back to the United States Immigration Services with a recommendation that approval be revoked. For reasons, nothing. Meanwhile my application that cost a lot of money said we been practicing immigration for four days. Weve never seen it. This, this is not meant to happen. Its something going wrong here and were never going to know. Theres really not going down the way its meant to go down. The only solution you have is the political solution. I saidall right, well , whats involved . You need to go and make some political contacts and they need to make representation from the other half of the United States citizenship and Immigration Services because otherwise it appears that someones guy out for you. And we dont even know what the next steps are because weve never seen is, we dont know what happens. I said okay, theres a further problem area. Whats the further problem. They said theres this longstanding legal principle called immigrant vc and immigrant and camp stipulates that if you have ever demonstrated a formal desire to be a resident of the United States, hopefully i had by virtue of my application, you are never, ever again, or you been rejected, you are never ever again allowed to enter the United States in your lifetime. Even as a tourist. Its a legal principle that nobody in america, particularly practically nobody knows about. But the case. If im legally to immigrate to the us in the us knocks you back, you cant ever come here again. Probably accurate entry to the United States and anyway, i took the rest. I took a risk, i sat down with my mom and dad around the Kitchen Table and i said mom and dad, i dont know what to do. They said you havent done anything wrong. They saidyou got a book tour coming out so my book retaking america was due to come out in february 2016. Its now december 2015 and they said do you have a copy of your return itinerary with you so that you can show that you plan on returning . And you can tell them that is not your way, at this point i think america is 17 time but if i cant stay up, i would have already stayed. And anyway, i came to the book tour and had a very successful trip and i took the opportunity to muscle up as much Political Support as i could and i was very grateful to the more than half a dozen United States senators and 15 or 16 congressman who intervened and made representations on my behalf and thankfully, justice prevailed. It would later emerge and these are only suspicions but this particular individual that was as resourceful in this was somebody who had the office of policy, opposite policy than me and they decided they could block my politics and this was returned to the us Immigration Service in the hopes that id never be able to return here again. In fact, here at the time i was essentially on a nofly listi actually couldnt come to america. And visit several of the us in june. Before i got my green card, i was turned away at the airport and ill never forget. It was difficult, but if i have to do it all again, the us green card worrier, there were variance in trying to get to this point, and you say at one point that you researched the person who interviewed you at the consulate and he found out that he was a gay liberal. Thats what prevented you from coming to the country. Yes, thats exactly what i found, thats what we found. So essentially, when all this was going on peter, everyone was named and they said we dont know whats going on and you can imagine when you have something so close to you, i mean i had my flight to immigrate to the us on 8 october. 2016 and my interview at the us consulate was on september 22, 2015 and the legal advice that i received again, was that this was the kind of routine, that i have been thoroughly vetted. That the decision had been made and this was very simple , that it wasnt a big deal. And that generally took about five business days, but what they do for the immigrant visa, that they went into my passport and then id be able to travel on the eighth of october. And not only was i not able to travel on 8 october, i had to forget that travel and lose those tickets. And in those proceedings, in those following two or three months, it was tortured. We could work out what was going on. We were given any explanation. So my instinct is always to go out and try and find out things on my own. And i managed to track down this individual and i did discover that he was a homosexual activist that had discovered that his politics were of the democrat nature. And having been all of my adult life at the other of the left, having experienced that persecution and ostracization and the blacklisting of employment in australia, this is a High School Teacher and trying to get a media internship, university, and really throughout my time i instinctively knew what had happened. Without even knowing. Because i know this is the way of many on the left to play the game, they are ruthless. And they are determined. I think thats the major difference between liberals and democrats, when you instinctively dont like something, we look away, we wriggle our nose, where just, we comment to each other and so forth and we say thats terrible but liberal doesnt do that. If a liberal see something they dont like, they go out of their way to make sure that it doesnt exist. Is often said you write in green card worrier, the immigration system is broken but that doesnt begin to describe it. More than broken, its an unmitigated disaster. It is. When good people have such a hard time coming to the United States and that people have such an easy time coming to the United States, you know that something is very, very wrong. I came to america to give, not received. I came to join the place, not to change it. I came because there are opportunities and possibilities that dont exist anywhere else on this earth. I came to be an american. I came to subscribe to American Values. I came to make sure that america doesnt end up being australia, the place that i felt that i had to leave. So i would think that i would be the model person that america would want coming in as an immigrant and yet for me, it costs not just for me, anybody that tries to come to america legally knows theyre going to be many many right now that are listening and watching that can relate. Anybody that tries to come to america legally stops for tens of thousands of dollars, stops for a lot of heartache. Stops for a very onerous burdensome bureaucratic system. The only, its incredible. Now in 2017, i can tell you that still to this day not one piece of the applications that you do to become a permanent resident in the United States, nothing is electronic. Everything is paper. So just think about that for a second and when were talking about australia, or countries, what happens is its this process of texas, they then send it to major Visa Processing Centers which is somewhere here in the northeast. And they send it down to australia. And this is all by snail mail. So where the years, getting it from one place to another is two months, getting it from there to australia is another three or four months area and then they have to schedule you for an interview, then if something doesnt go right, they need to go back and it goes back again. So its just a disaster. Its an absolute disaster. And its unfortunate because i know so many people that want to come here that are exactly like me that want to not receive, that want to make and not take, that want to change it yet they cant. Its the cost is too much, theyre looking at it and saying well, i just dont have four or five years of my life. Next, i dont want to go through that. Thats really americas loss. So i think that its a very big problem and im determined in the platform that i have to make this a career. Whats your take on immigration executive order that President Trump is going through right now . I very much im on the side of it. I think when it comes to the security and safety of americans, we cant take any chances. I think when there are so many bad apples, youve got to look at the offices. Youve got it see these other countries that have been compromised byterrorism. I think we live in a very dangerous world. I think its very clear that the, we are at war and theres elements of a religion that have modernized. I hope to reform and ive held back on our destruction. That really wants to die more than we want to live. And we need to take every measure we can to protect ourselves and make it possible to protect civilization. Christianity. I think thats really important. And im thrilled that we have a leader now of the free world that really cares about promoting and protecting and perpetuating the free world. From your book boomerang, you write america must continue to be a refuge for the talented young of the outsider nations. Peter, i see all around the worldmany really talented people. That are simply not embrace by their country. Theyre not embrace because the it doesnt exist there to nurture their abilities and they are instead resented, there looked down upon, or not supported. So one of the things that i find incredible here in the United States is the mentoring that happens. So here in america its a very american thing and its probably the result of the patriotism that exists here. Its considered patriotic, its considered the right thing to do to help young people, to lift them up, to share the experience and wisdom that you might have if you are a normal person and if youve got on the Younger Generation because its not here, that they are going to be the ones that are going to be bequeathed this incredible responsibility and keeping the american idea alive and passing on American Values. That doesnt happen anywhere else. I find that in australia and europe and is worth comparing america to any other country, any countries and cultures are similar to the United States, its much more of a means society. Its much more of a selfish society, more selfinterested society. It doesnt matter how old you are , you want to know everything as much as you can. Theres no idea about passing on the baton. Theres no idea about making sure that the future is intact. Its all about them now. What i found fascinating about the United States is the farsightedness. This constant eye to the future. You see that in poverty, you see that in the infrastructure, living in texas. I know that texas is growing but. We have to leave the conversation to take you live to the floor of the senate for whats expected to be a brief post pro forma session. The presiding officer the senate will come to order. The clerk will read a communication to the senate. The clerk washington, d. C. , february 20, 2017. To the senate under the provisions of rule 1, paragraph 3, of the standing rules of the senate, i hereby appoint the honorable david perdue, a senator from the state of georgia, to perform the duties of the chair. Signed orrin g. Hatch, president pro tempore. The presiding officer under the previous order, the Senate Stands adjourned until 9 00 a. M. , on thursday, february 23, 2017. Adjourn for an address by president donald trump. Back now to our book tv program in depth with alternate atoms on american exceptionalism. I think its natural, i think its logical, i think its beautiful. I love the outward expression , patriotism in america that manifests itself in enabled almost every single house has got an americanflag flying. And the National Anthem is sung, all gone was america is sung. I love all that stuff. Id be watching the super bowl and thats going to be an patriotic extravaganza. Ive been to College Football games with these flyovers and the military marches and ive been to military appreciation events at baseball games in san diego on september 11 and these are just things and events and feelings that you dont get anywhere that really make you feel american. Its one of the reasons why america has been able to integrate or assimilate and describe E Pluribus Unum so deftly and certainly this distinction that other countries like australia or england and germany. People who come to america generally tend to be american and its because theres this robust, patriotic identity, this tradition that is intrinsic to america that people find intoxicating. And i love patriots, i love patriotism. I think patriotism tells you a lot about the person and this is the most patriotic country in the world, handsdown. Americans dont realize that, but it is. If you go and fly a flag outside your house, or on your car, you considered backwards. Youre considered to be some slackjawed on integrated person. And the same goes in germany, the same goes in england. The flag here in the United States is all and you cant escape the American Flag, its everywhere. And he gives you a feeling of belonging, it gives you a feeling of pride. I look at the American Flag and i have tears welling up in my eyes because its so amazing. Its so incredible. Its so fantastic. It stands for so much, means for so much and to have honored the way that is honored, to have actual protocol surrounding the flag, again is something that other nations dont have. There are protocols about flying the flag. There are protocols that depends on what you can do. The first time i ever saw a couple friends holding the American Flag in america and they almost dropped it in the scramble to make sure that it didnt touch theground. That kind of stuff is just, i cant put into words. Its fantastic, its the reason why i came. Good afternoon on this super bowl sunday. This isin depth on book tv on cspan2 and our guest is author and commentator nick adams, he is the author of five books , america the greatest came out , exceptional america, a message from a modernday de tocqueville out in 2012, the american boomerang, how americas greatest turnaround nation will do it again, 2013.

This is your chance to talk with author nick adams. Heres how you can do it. Phone numbers are on the screen. 202 is the area code, 7483200 if you leave an Eastern Central time zone. A201 for those of you in the mountain and pacific time zones. If you cant get through on the phone lines, i would refer you to social media. A couple different ways for you to do that. Go to facebook. Com book tv. You will see a promotion for nick adams. You can leave a comment there. So look for that through the three hours. You can also get to twitter, tv is our twitter handle and you can email and that his book tv at cspan. Org. We will begin taking those in a few minutes. Nick adams, in your book retaking america, youre right that i am a straight, white, educated middleclass male and im sick of being toldim not allowed to have an opinion. Guest i am a straight, white, middleclass educated male and im proud to be a straight, white, educated middleclass male. Im very proud to be all of those things and i think that all of those things are under attack. Its the reason why we saw the political mirror, these weakness not long ago. Its precisely the cultural attitude that have been prevailing for Political Correctness. Look, i think its very clear that people that have a certain, whether its their gender, whether its their color, whether its who they are, certain people have a much more limited voice in Todays Society and todays culture and i think thats very unfortunate. I had one of the holes that i want to be boxed, im an individual and im proud to be this individual. The thing that is so different about the United States is that its the worlds only non collectivist society. America is an individualistic society, the individual is given priority over the collective and thats why youre free to be the person that you want to be and thats why this country is full of characters. Its full of lively people. Its the reason why people like donald trump are elected to office. Donald trump wouldnt be here in any other country but america. But the variety of personality, the variety of ideas, of course thats probably got to do with the size of the United States, 300 Million People. It means that there is no much on offer and theres so many different people, many Different Things and you see it. You can walk down the street and you see people that are dressed in a way that you probably wouldnt dress. And you see people that are really out there, that have really got an engaging personality. I know the first time my father came to the United States, this last august when mom and dad came over to help me get set up with a permanent resident in the us and we went to a waffle house. There they were suffering from jet lag, i had come a couple weeks earlier and mom and dad had flown here and their flight was delayed so they came here previous and we all kind of woke up at about 4 00 in the morning. And we said what are we going to do . I said lets go to waffle house. I said lets go. We went to the waffle house and we weres stuck in some great waffles and pancakes. Anyway, this africanamerican gentleman stood up in the waffle house and began to dance. Some song had come on and he began to dance. Peter, he was extremely talented. I mean, he was just dancing and moving and jiving and it was such a compelling performance. And at the end of it, everyone in the waffle house, my parents and i included, were applauding him. And my dad said to me, he says you know, its incredible. In australia, someone got up and did that youd be calling the authorities. People would think you were crazy. People would think you were mad. To get up in the middle of a restaurant and start singing and dancing. People would say this guy needs to be put in a straitjacket. But here, people were applauding and enjoying it. Its a place where individualism really does thrive. And that is always been my gripe with the left and with Political Correctness. I think theyve had a war on the individual and im proud to be who i am. I love it. What did your parents think when you walked in the waffle house and everyone yelled hello, welcome. Absolutely. They were amazed. The first step, the first stop that we had was a whataburger because that was right next to the hotel and we went into the burger place and we were there and the manager came over after we were waiting and she said look, i happened to hear you speak and youre not from around here. And mom and dad said yes, im now an american but weve come over here and she said well, i was in louisiana but ive come to texas for the opportunity. And we proceeded to tell her we were going to go apartment hunting. And anyway, the very end of the things she was very nice and so friendly. She came back with a little note and it was a name and telephone number. She said if i can help in any way, take you win or give you advice or do anything, im here for you. And i remember seeing tears welling up in my fathers face. Hed never seen such hospitality, such generosity and that really i guess is the message ive had for americans now the last seven years coming here frequently. They are the nicest, most hospitable, most generous people you will ever, ever come across, period. Host what are some of your disappointments about the us . Guest look, i think the United States is a place where technology is really, really front and center and i guess im a little bit oldfashioned so i dont use technology all that much. I find that americans, much like the rest of the world but americans are addicted to social media. Theyre addicted to technology. Theyre addicted to their phones. Thats something i think is a big problem and i see it as a direct threat to the american exceptionalism that is so clearly there. I think itscreated a bottle. I think its created an environment , an uninformed environment where people are really only listening to and an chamber, where they are not getting out there and experiencing the america that i love. But i like social media. I dont like it at all you got a twitter account, Eric Adamczyk usa. And my organization flag, but only by necessity. Only because i have to and only because we have to. Unfortunately its something all organizations and businesses and people with a public platform need to have but i hate it. I hate it because i think its giving people a voice thats not deserved. I think its made it impossible to be a giant. I think there are so many voices now, you cant determine whos real and whos not. I think that lightweights have been able to be elevated way past their station. Purely by virtue of the fact that they have this social media platform. Before, you needed some charisma and some hustle and some drive and some color and energy in order to be able to get a platform and to get ahead and be taken notice of. Now all you need is the media, the last 20 seconds and all of a sudden youre an instant viral sensation and you got 1 Million People following you and i think people of substance really have lost out with social media. I dont want to speak in 140 characters and thats another thing that, i think its full of electronic cockroaches that kind of sit in their basement just staring down people. Even before todays show when i got on the Facebook Page where you were providing this event, there was this comment after comment of people that dont know me and have got no idea who i am, dont know my story, have never spent a minute with me who think that im the worst human being imaginable. And i think that social media really has put a very big play in that. Its divided the world. Its set up all these enemy camps where there should be. I think that anybody who doesnt have a state is going to love me. From retaking america, social media teaches us defect in our world. Social media teaches us that there is a defect in our moral compass. Guest yeah, look, i think its very clear that people on social media, many people on social media, are negative. I mean, they dont understand, its an opportunity to tear down people. It is used as a weapon to wield against those who they dont agree with or those who they are jealous of. Before it was a matter of, you know, you had to really work hard to go and find out information to g now its very easy. Now if you know that somebody is applying for a job, you can simply go and make sure that that employer knows all of the different posts that have been made, all of the appearances that youve had or whateverou comments youve made. And suddenly you are unemployable. All you cant make a living. I think thats awful. Im too busy with my own life. Ive never understood people who take such an interest in somebody elses. Re but i got a lot of issues throughout the years, theater, where people would write knowing, and i for a greater time i stopped advertising where i was going to speak. Because people would write to places where i was going to speak, to the organizers and they would tell the most hideous untruths about me and tell these people did not let me speak, and you shouldnt have this guy as a speaker. Its terrible. You feel defenseless. And you know that these people would never have the confidence to confront you personally. But instead they behind a high get a keyboard and do their best to destroy your career, just hold your reputation, to create problems for you in your personal life. And like i say it has elevated lightweights way beyond this station. That goes for both conservatives and liberals and everyone in between. Before you had to be a person of substance. Su now you dont need to be. Host Milo Yiannopoulos is facing what you just described when it comes to speaking on college campuses, uc berkeley is the most recent example. Guest sure. Lots of conservative speakers go through this. There is a war on conservative speakers. Theres a war on conservative ideology. Theres a war on people that are sufficiently confident and bold to enunciate those values andest those virtues that are associated with conservatism. Those people ought to be silent. They are to be intimidated. They are to be harassed. They are to be cowed to silence. And suddenly when you have more years of conservatism that are more than happy to withstand the leftist programs directed to them and at them, then suddenly uart enemy number one. I think when it comes to milo, when it comes to ben shapiro, when it comes to a lot of these other people, myself included, we are the target of our confidence. We are the target of our boldness. We are the target of our belief system, and i think could be more unamerican or antiamerican. Host one more quote before we go to calls and this is again from retaking america. All people are equal but all cultures are not. Guest thats deathly true. All human beings, all individuals are equal. Im a christian. I love all people. God command you to love all people equally. And i do. And cultures though our something entirely different. They are very clear measurements that one can use in order to affect a culture of superiority, whether we want to talk about economic prosperity, whether we want to talk about freedom, whether we want to talk about someones ability to rise above the circumstances of their birth to go on and chief whatever they want to achieve, whether we wan to talk about religious freedom, whether we want to talk about womens right. There are very, very clear clear measurements that we can employ in order to be able to determine where a country ranks. And the only reason why you wouldnt want to take a note of those management is if you subscribe to moral relativism, which essentially is the equivalent of smoking dope, which is basically saying everything is the same, nothing is any better, nothing is any different. Diff and i have always said if you believe in everything, you believe in nothing. Youve got to believe inin someth something. If believing in something means excluding other things, and ii think that america is a country that is the greatest country in the history of, almost 5000 years of recorded human history. Weve never seen a country like america. R weve never seen a culture likea america. Weve never seen people like americans from the agricultural aid to the Industrial Age to tht information age, whether we want to talk all the things that wein use every day, internet, email, gps, supersonic flights, the jumbo jet, kevlar, the heimlich maneuver, Birth Control pills. ,t i mean, every single thing in our life have been the product of american genius, creativity and innovation. None of that has come by accident. All of that is very deliberate, very intentional. It was set up that way by the most pressing and brilliant men to ever walked this earth who are cofounders, who understood the way to unleashing that human ingenuity, the way unlocking that human creativity was to make sure that men and women were as unencumbered as possible by the needs of government approvals and red tape. Thats why people from thomass edison all the way through now to elon musk have really capitalized on that culture in america to create and produce things that people around the world are using. Host donald trump a disruptor . Guest i think he is a disruptor but i think disruption is what America Needs right now, peter. I think that the western world usually on a cliff. I think that america was teetering on the precipice of a european style existence, i i decaying, selfloathing, and patriotic, a secular place thats a great, mediocre, vanilla my people aspire to mediocrity rather than greatness. S. Pl and i think america was very much looking at that with a Hillary Clinton presidency because thats the course that president obama said the United States on. I think thats the vision he hah for america for it to be like everyone else. And finally we had a president that has stood up for america, thats putting america first. Thats asserting american first. Values. And that kind of disruption of Political Correctness, that kind of disruption the left ideological nastiness that has become so prevalent and unavoidable in Todays Society is welcomed. And i think were going to see a renaissance, at patriotic constitutional conservative renaissance under President Trump and hopefully that can be mirrored in the culture. Host as a permanent resident what your status . Cannot be revoked . Guest no. The only difference between an american citizen and an american permanent resident is that an american citizen gets to vote and canola United States passport. They are the only two differences. Otherwise, i am an american. I am covered by the United States constitution. Ive got the right to bear arms. Lets say that i was on vacation in germany and the was a terrorist attack, and i went to the u. S. Embassy in berlin. I would be treated just like you would be. I would be considered an american because im a permanent resident. Am and on that note i want to say one of the distinctions that even conservatives make, and it is puzzled me here in the United States, i subscribed to the idea that when you move somewhere, you become that place. The day that i moved to the United States as a permanent resident, said that i started living here, working here, getting looked after hereer medically and Everything Else,ft im an american. I cant get it again. I call myself an american. I dont call myself an australian. Im an american. Now, having taken the oath . Have i taken the pledge . No. I havent. I will on the 29th of july, 2021 which is the first day that im going to be able to, so how it works is you have to be a permanent resident. You have to have your green card for a period of five years before you can become an american citizen. So im not able to be an american citizen up until then,u but i call myself an american. I consider myself an american. Again, i think that, and this goes for everybody, as soon as you come to a country, you become that country. If youre going to go and move to australia permanently you should be an australian. If youre going to move to america permanently you should be an american and americans should accept any other alternative. Host you are also an honorary texan. Y guest yes, sir. Im very proud of that. My good friend governor perry secretary gary appointed me an honorary texan back in july of 2013, its the day that i will never ever forget. , you know i love all things texas. Im fond of saying that you dont live in texas. Texas lives in you. And from belt buckles to jacked up pickup trucks to Blue Bell Ice Cream to chicken fried steak, the whataburger. I love america. Texas. I love the moxie, the slacker,lh the bravado of texas and texans. I love their merciless content for Political Correctness. I love boots. I love boots and post but if we can show these boots that would be great. Cowboy boots. Bo guest these are cowboy boots. These are full quill ostrich cowboy boots that i very proud of. Their customized. Customize. The only kind of boots, the only kind of i where are boots. And again i cant think of of anything more unabashedly american men cowboy boots. I think that there is an air of confidence and there is an error of kicking but rather than kissing it, which is associatete with cowboy boots. Thats why i love texas. Thats why im thrilled to be as honorary texan, although now thn honorary texan badge is somewhat academic. Ad as i have a texas drivers license which means i am officially a texan. Host nick adams is her guests. Lets you what our viewers have to say. Lets begin with michael in neww york. Whats the name of your town, michael . Caller good afternoon. Anon 11 i was on active duty military leave from the nypd and serving in a Rapid Deployment army at fort benning. I am sad to i dont think 9 11 was bad enough for this country. I want to ask him what he think its going to take to lift this country up both internally and externally . Guest thank you very, very much for the question. An excellent question. T i could tell you i think the country is already starting to wake up. I can see it. I can feel it. As someone whos been coming here for the last seven years, first as a frequent traveler, as a longdistance commuter, and that having here in seven months, i really feel that americans are finally waking up it was Winston Churchill thathut effectually jibed that americans always do the right thing aftert exhausting every other option. And i do think that there is a very deepseated feeling among Middle America. I think the Middle America is finally mobilizing to fight the culture war. And i think that you should be t hopeful about americans waking up. I agree with you theres a lot more waking up to be done. I think that we are going to see that waking up happened and thats going to be the best thing not just for america but for the entire world. Because whats good for america is good for the world. The worlds fortunes travel with the u. S. When america is strong in the world is strong. When america is weak the world is weak. America will only be strong if americans wake up. Host diane in arkansas you are on booktv and cspan2 with nick adams. Caller i found you about two weeks ago, probably on cspan, and you speak my heart. Guest thank you. Caller and especially a while ago when you said when you hear the National Anthem you get tears in your eyes. Rs that right there proves you do love our country. Im an 82yearold woman and i lived through the 60s and didnt think ever what they can. Its going to get rougher. Its going to get rougher. Just stay true to your convictions, nick. I think you will. Come and visit us in the ozarks. We live around guest yes. I have been to arkansas. I do love arkansas. Caller good good. Caller ice build bit of time in little rock but ill make a point of coming to see next time im in town. Caller when youre in bentonville just go straight east and youll hit yellow bill and flippin and paul scholes but ive lived in texas and i know what you mean about the atmosphere in texas. It just, its a feeling. Its different from anywhere else. You drive those wonderful highways of their. The window is open, the breezes coming. Its wonderful. And just like i say, its going to get bad and youre going to get hurt. But dont lose your faith. I dont think you will, and one thing i want to ask you. Why is it do you think that it is lawful for george soros and those people to send their people in and destroy our cities . They are the ones in the black masks and everything that come and get all the people upset and then they destroyed the buildings and the limousines. Host lets leave it there. Diane has been watching cspan for years. Guest thank you so much for being such a loyal cspan viewer and thank you so much for calling in. Thank you for coming from arkansas, estate very close to texas, and i really appreciate your hard work. You are speaking my heart and a very grateful. Its people like you that really have paved the way for someone like me to be able to come to america and do what i do and the culture would be the culture that it is if it werent for you. Youre right, things are going to get worse before they become better. Woe fight that we have in front of us is worth anything weve ever been through. America has been through a lot and its worse now because for the first time americas enemies are no longer. Also the messy. Their people within the United States petter rudi for americas failure, that are rooting for america to become another european nation. And thats something weve got to fight as much as we possibly can. In terms of the protests, im with you. I agree with you. I think its shameful. L. I think its disgusting. I think people should be giving President Trump a chance. It i cai can understand he is not everybodys cup of tea, but his only been in there two weeks. I think that everybody should agree that hes a patriot, that he loves his country, that he gave up a lifestyle and the career to go into something that not many of us would be prepared to or could do. I do think we need to show some respect and i think its a disgusting to have people like george soros and others organizing and mobilizing effectively against america. Its unamerican and its antiamerican. Host you call it disgusting but d do you think it should be illegal . Guest no, it shouldnt be illegal. I mean, one of the rights guaranteed in the constitution, the right to freedom of assembly. Thats definitely something that weve got to cling to and hold here too. I think its poor for. I was here for the inauguration and the very next day i was still in town for the womens march. These women were marching and President Trump had not even been in office 24 hours. I really couldnt quite understand what rights you taken away from them or what he had done. I think theres a lot of bedwetting going on, unnecessary, that silly, and quite frankly should stop for the benefit of the nation. President trump has gone in there to try and improve the place. Anybody that speaks that hes gone in there did not improve the place, that is going in that with bad intentions, well, quite frankly thats just silly. Its silly. No american president i think most in their deliberately trying to destroy the place. Although some people would argue that the past president was perhaps an exception. Certainly President Trump is gone in there to make the place better. Host matt from dallas, texas, emails in a post on facebook please ask nick adams to expand on his comment about donald trump as if i remember correctly, the leader of thexpas free world. Guest look, any president of the United States is the leader of the free world. Is the leader of civilization as we know it. The presidency of the United States is a moral beacon for the world. That person sets the tone for the culture and for what is acceptable and unacceptable and really has a very significant role in shaping public opinion, not just in america but worldwide. That famous saying if you chang america, you change the world. And its true. If you change america you do change the world. Let me give you one example. During president obama stein, when president obama assumed office in january 2009 there were a handful of countries that have legalized samesex marriagt in the world. By the time he left two weeks ago some 60 or 70 countries had legalized samesex marriage. And i believe that is a direct result of the tone and the attitude that is put out there by the president. In this case president obama. So im very hopeful that moral clarity is going to be returned. The present of america such as the present of america. The president of america is the president for everybody, andnd thats been the case because this is the country whose militaries more powerful thanca the rest of the world militaries combined. America is of the guardian of liberty. Or some people might not like that. Some people might not think thats necessary, but the reality is that we would want anyone else to do that job and somebody has to do that job. Im very thankful that its america or i would want it to e china. I wouldnt want it to be north korea. I would want it to be anybody else. Dy else. I think the only country that is in that position that scott the morality come and again when we go back to de tocqueville who famously said america is great because america is good pick when america ceases to be good she will cease to be great. I do think that there is a moral case for america to be the worlds policeman if you like. Again its not free, its not sexy or something we really want to talk about. I know that a lot of americans feel uncomfortable even conservatives being referred to that way. But the reality is that the world needs a leader. Much like in any marriage or any partnership, somebody has to lead and america has to lead. Host to go back to your moral clarity comment, should gay marriage be reversed in this country . Guest well look, personally i dont support samesex marriage. I think that at the heart of the list is his chronological bigotry. This idea that because we live in 2017 somehow we are smarterin and we are more educated and we are more refined. We know better, and Everything Else that has preceded us, theye didnt know what theyre talkinc about. They were vacated. They were biased, and we should disregard and discard it completely. One of the things that really sets and so this part fromhe liberals is that mentality. I happen to think that samesex marriage is a direct assault on the traditional family. I think its a direct assault on the cornerstone, the foundation of our civilization and i personally do not support it. Whether or not i think the Supreme Court should reverse ite decision that it made in 2015 is something that i probably need to put more thought into. But i can say that personally and as a christian i dont support samesex marriage. I dont think that its right. I believe in traditional marriage. I certainly dont believe in adoption to gay couples. I dont think thats fair to the child. I know that a lot of these views are now seen out of date and oldfashioned and whatever else. But i am a social conservative. I do believe in the traditional family. I know that also puts me out of bed with a lot of people my age, and millennials now have got completely different views to people, if i can say, your generation and my parents generation and others. But thats the way i was raised thats what i believe in and again, thats, i mean its incredible. In 2004 when i say i was a student at the university, when we would go recruiting for conservative causes, one of the causes we would raise in recruitment was opposition to samesex marriage. Which at the time was considere a completely out their wacky extreme idea of the left. In fact, karl rove in the 2004 president ial election in a bid to bolster conservative turnout was putting it on the ballots in several key states so that evangelicals and conservatives would turn up and also vote for president george w. Bush his reelection. Fast forward to now, if youey dont support samesex marriage, you are considered like theres something wrong with you, that theres something not quite right. And so the culture shifted entirely. Im aware of that but that doesnt change my personal conviction host the next call for nick adams is mark in colorado. Caller how are you . Guest how are you, sir . Caller im doing great. Its a blessing to talk to you and get a chance, id like a really eight word for you. God bless you, and you are a great american. Guest thank you very much. I really appreciate it. I will continue to work everyday to make you proud. Thank you for your patriotism. Thank you for your love of country. Host victor, california. You are on booktv. Caller how are you . Guest very well. How are you . Caller good. I am want to welcome you to america. I was born in nigeria. I came to the u. S. A. And i didnt love this country. You really spoke to my heart. Im very happy that donald trump on the election because i was getting tired of the america i do that i read about was going down. The previous president , the Political Correctness. As a black person you are made to hate, you know, hate white people, hate everything, hate america. They wanted you to remain a victim. So then i started listening and started reading, watching the talk shows. It consists in when a look at the other side, i was thinking wow, my eyes are opened. I started liking america. So when you hate america, theyh want you as a democrat, they want you to make, hate america. [inaudible] im very happy donald trump won the election and god bless you, nick adams. Welcome to the u. S. A. Host victor, what do you do . Caller i work. Host what kind of work . Caller i work in industry. Host thank you, sir. Guest thank you so much. That call was inspiring. It was amazing. It was incredible, and i find that immigrants to the United States relate to me more than anyone and can really understand my and my mission about spreading American Values and fighting antiamericanism more than anyone else. Because we depreciate sometimes a spectator sees for the game. Sometimes it takes someone on the outside remind you what you like on the inside, and you know coming from nigeria what america is and what america means. And you also understand, and god bless you for this, this is the best place in the world. R this,h for anyone and everyone to live. This is the best place in the world for a black person. This is the best place in the world for anybody who wants to rise above the circumstances of the birth to live here. Every time i speak to an Elementary School or middle school or high school, i tell those kids the day they were born in the United States is the day that they won the lottery of life. I am so sad to see the narratives by the left, as you accurately point out, about if youre a black person, this is a bad place for you to be. More black africans have immigrated voluntarily to the United States. Grated voluntarily like you, then became a slight bit and almost no black person ever leaves the United States to go anywhere else. So this whole idea that this is a bad place, that this is a racist place. Let me tell you something, america is the least racist multiracial country in the world. And we have got to get that message out there. Thank you for understanding. Thank you for listening to my great friend and mentor Dennis Prager wrote the forward to my book retaking america. He is a great american, andd me incredible thinker and you will be well served to continue to be wel thank you so much. Ue host nick adams can you write the greatest threat and challenge to american exceptionalism is Political Correctness. S. Guest it is. Most people think Political Correctness is simply an imposition on what you can say what you cant say. That would be a problem because of our first amendment. That would be more than a problem purely because of our first amendment. The Political Correctness is infinitely more than that. Political correctness is a mindset, and attitude, a cultural lifestyle that mandates that you should strive for mediocrity rather than greatness. That you should kiss but rather than ticket. That you shouldnt color outside of the lines, that you should conform Political Correctness eliminates our conference. Removes our patriotism. It strips us of our identity. It makes us boring. It makes us vanilla. It makes us pedestrian. It makes everybody the same. Its a great weapon of the collectivist. Its the great weapon of those that seek to equalize. Its the great weapon of those that seek to bring down successful people. Political correctness really comes along and paint everyone the same way. Its an impingement on freedom. Its an impingement on the individual. And when i think about american exceptionalism, i say that it is patriotism, not relativism. That its the quality of opportunity not outcome. It is god not government. It is e. Pluribus unum not multiculturalism. That it is life not death. It is not being bold not being bland. Mu these are the things that always differentiated america from every other country, every other culture in the world and yet Political Correctness would have every single one of those things can e. Pluribus unum,ess woul patriotism, individualism, equality of opportunity, boldness, all about Political Correctness would have eliminated. So i think Political Correctness is the greatest threat to american exceptionalism easily. Host neville, cleveland, good afternoon. Caller i would like to switch the conversation back to australia if i may. If i visit australia, i come across people from india, from china, from malaysia, from south africa, from new zealand, from fiji, and i could go on. January just explain why there are so many migrants who have gone to australia from those countries . What is it about australia that attracted them and made them choose to go there . Can he give me some kind of explanation about that, please . Guest thank you. Thats a really good question and youre right. If you go to australia there are lots and lots and lots of immigrants. And thats because australia is not a bad country. In many ways australia is a paradise. I am fond of saying if your only goal in life is to live a contented life, measured by small steps, then really australia is the Perfect Place for you. And thats what many immigrants have come there. Recently many immigrants have come to america, have come to australia, sorry, have come to australia because they want to be on the gravy train. Australia has a very generous welfare state, and these people are really coming for the easy ride as opposed to america when they come in for opportunity and a better life. There are differences in terms of the reasons why people go to australia and america. But absolutely, australia is a place that is free. Its not as free as america but it is free. Its democratic. The weather is good. R is g its a Pleasant Place to be, and many people, depending on their personality, find australia more comfortable than the unitedle th states because there is not that much diversity in opinion. The culture is very different. People are much more laid back. They are not as energetic and some people really gravitate towards that. Somebody like me who is all about energy and all about optimism and all about pulling off the impossible and all about hustling and working as hard as i possibly can, i come here andd i love it. Because everybody is just soy i dynamic here everyone is just so alive here. These are the most businessoriented people in the United States. Networking and opportunities and all of that kind of stuff is, i mean, its palpable. Host martin, dayton, ohio, please go ahead with your question or comment for nick adams. Caller yes. First of all welcome. We are always grateful and welcoming and we should be to immigrants to this country just like other callers have said. Ul thats what makes our country great. Always has and hopefully always will. Grm a teacher. It says American Immigration made in america and thats true. My people most of them came around 1900. A few have come just a few years ago and were so grateful to have you. Even though i have a different political view probably than most common in most aspects, but nevertheless its great to haved people from other kinds that come here. Thats what makes our country great. I would just say it is a very bold assertion to say that you know what we need having only been here for a certain amount of time. And i understand from the outsiders point of view is very important, and thats, deam tocqueville said that and so he had the outsiders point of view. However, it is a bold assertion. I would just advise may be if i carried in a humble way just keep your mind open and reach out. Political correctness extreme is a bad thing. Lyrical incorrectness in extreme is a bad thing. Thats the problem that we arel having as i see it that we have speakers on both sides that are allowed once, and then in the middle the average person, thats the person you want to latch onto him get to know. Even if theyre not your political persuasion. Many republican friends, most of my friends are republicans. We agree to disagree and have great conversations. I would just ask one thing in a timely way. If you know, and maybe you dont because you wer you are a youngt the time but we had the worstu terrorist attack of all time inn 2001 in this country. There were 1 19 men that did th. What two countries did they come from if you would . Host okay, martin, well get to that in your bold assertion common. What do you teach . Caller i teach english. The reason i ask that is to go to whats been called the muscleman. Because those two countries that muslim man. T host what are the two countries . Guest egypt is one of them. Caller there were 15 saudis and host i think we got the point. What your comment for martin tractor for so i want to say to martin thank you for calling and i appreciate your comments. I really appreciate the simple way that you spoke to me. That is unfortunately becoming becomiare in life today in america, and right around the world so im very grateful for that. You really embodied the american tradition of respecting somebody elses opinion, and that means a lot. So thank you for that. Look, as i understand it its a bold assertion for me to come, some of his only lived for seven months permanently and, obviously, has come whole bunch of times before, limited amounts of time. I can appreciate that you think that what im saying and what im doing and what i am w declaring is somewhat bold. Id like to think that being bold is an American Value, and id like to think that as a young man who i also like to think is at the peak of my power, mentally, has been able to really sit down and analyze and diagnose and assess and affect whats going on in the world and in america, and has i kindly been medically active since the age of 19 and remembers the george w. Bush presidency and lived through the Obama Presidency and was an integral part of the 2016 campaign. Id like to think that there are some insights that i can share. I think the greatest problem facing america today, martin, is we have not passed on what it means to be an american. We have not taught American Values. And as a result many of our young dont know what it means to be an american. Theyve got no idea about the limited government dimension. They got no idea about the moral dimension. And i think its important that we not only teach that but i bui think its important that we make a case for america robustly, unapologetically and,g aggressively. And thats what im doing with respect to your last question, and perhaps, peter, you can help me, i knew there was a questionh why was he asking the question . Host talking about the immigration executive order that President Trump put into effect, did not include saudi arabia or egypt, the two countries was talking about for the 9 11 attack. Guest look, and i hopee President Trump in the coming days, weeks, months, whatever it is according to intelligence obviously, but i would hope that he would include saudi arabia on that list, that he would include pakistan on that list. Absolutely. I dont think his president ial executive order went far enough. Thats my humble opinion, but im all about protecting america. Im all about protecting christianity. Im all about protecting theme state of israel. Three things that are incredibly close to my heart. And they do remember 2001, i do remember september 11. It was a watershed moment for me. I was 17, 17 and six days actually because my birthday is on the fifth of september and i remember my mom walking in very early in the morning. Obviously when the planes hit the World Trade Center it was 11 00 at night and i was asleep. The very next morning at the crack of dawn my mom came intoex my room and said nick, do you know whats going on . Have you heard . And i would find out, and they really had a great impact on galvanizing the proamerican sentiment that i already had but it really made me realize that this was histories way of throwing the role upon my generation to stand up and fight for the United States of america. That america was a proxy for western civilization. Thats what ive been doing ever since. Host when some asus diversity is our strength, what do you take from that . Guest thats weasel words, diversity is our strength. I mean, thats not really a powerful statement. Thats not really anything that you can take home with you. Diversity is our strength but what does that mean . I think diversity means as a means to an end. Its not in and in and of itself. I think unity is far more important. Its great to diversity, and hasek to diversity. We have become richer because of diversity but if we are unable to unite that diversity, and really all we are going to have as a whole bunch of groups in pockets of people who are going to be doing their own thing and thats not what we need. We want americans to be united. We want people to be united, and, unfortunately, a line like diversity is our strength, that sounds wonderful and lets go sing kumbaya about the campfire but the reality is that a think its far more important that we see diversity as a means to an end as opposed to an end in and of itself. As i said before if you believe in everything you believe in of nothing. I do want people to believe in everything. I want people to believe in certainty and i think those things are america. And the american way of life. Host gary is in exeter california. Caller how are you doing . Ho guest great state. Caller california. My comment, the main point i would like to make, a 76yearold white male, et cetera. My main point is that the left, the impact and influence of the left is as you very well pointed out extremely pervasive and very strong. On the one hand discussion and controversy are part of our cultural heritage, controversy started back in the second, George Washington second term in office and his greatest adversary was thomas jefferson. I believe that the wellspring and the Supreme Court for this leftwing approach to living leftts with our educational system. Win i experienced it. I left home as a 20yearold, reared by parents who are politically, definitely on the right. And after two years in the area of San Francisco, my political beliefs had shifted to the left. I then came home, took a job as a Police Officer in a very tough city in orange county, and watched the games people play. Watched and learned and saw that many of the burglars were also welfare recipients using everything they could. Fa i saw people who didnt work because i didnt wish to work, and that shifted my politics back to the right and even more strongly. An anecdote i can give you about Political Correctness in later years of my career, i directed and was in charge of a Police Training program at a local community college, and incidentally there i kept my beliefs quiet because it would jeopardize my job because the people who were higher up at those times in the college were very much leftwing oriented people. So you just keep your mouth shut. And the very least h you would face would be derision. At any rate, the anecdote isnt this. We had a new president come in, a high roller from orange county, and a member of our board of trustees, this is the governing body for the college, maybe, it in a meeting and refer to colored people. Well, unfortunately i was not the term du jour. The term to colored people is not a term to be used if your politically correct. And i didnt notice anything until the next morning that president , that new president had the cheek to send a memo ou to the entire Management Team saying that he was so upset by this persons use of the term colored people that he couldnt sleep, and he just condemned it. This was one of his bosses, so this is an idea just how strong our political orientation is. Host were going to have to leave it there. Lets hear from nick adams. Guest will look, gary is right. Gary, the Education System in academia is where Political Correctness is most rife, most out of control. We see it almost every day. There is seldom a day that goesn by that we dont turn on the television to her about another story of political correct insanity happening in the classroom. It doesnt only happen at colleges. Room. Which is obviously the focus particularly of the media, andsl it happens even more regularly i would submit in elementary, middle and high schools. Its what i set up an Organization Called flag, the foundation for liberty and american greatness which is anan Educational Organization which goes into elementary, middle and high schools talking to kids about what makes america special. What makes america different . Why is the constitution the best political document . What would the world to look like without the United States of america . . What would the world look like t today had not been for American Leadership in the 20thld the wod century . What all has america given the world . Why has it been an unparalleled force were good in this world . We seek, flag seeks the army of american activists that often masquerade as teachers that are teaching our children european values. That are not passing than what it means to be an american. They are using history in order to be able to promote americas failings and americas mistakes. Which undoubtedly america has. I mean, america much like any country or culture is not perfect, but its the best thing that we have and the World Without americas one we dont even want to contemplate. Its been an unparalleled force for good in this world and, unfortunately, Political Correctness has been eliminated that thing thought. Thats what i set up flag, flagusa. Org, to take on Political Correctness in classrooms like you say and as a teacher, you know all about it. Its awful what education has become. Host and in his book retaking America Nick Adams writes that the schools and universities are not seeking to protect students. They are turning students into witch hunting activists eagerly prepared to arbitrarily define and exposed every instance ofwh perceived injustice. Weve got about an hour and half left with our guest on in depth, author and political commentator nick adams. Half left with our guest on in depth. Author and political commentator nick adams. 202 is the article for all of our numbers. 7288200 in the Eastern Central time zone. 7488201 in the mountain and pacific sometimes on. If you cannot get through on the phone lines will want to make a comment we have social media avenues for you as well. You can go to facebook. Com booktv. You can make a comment there you will see a promotion for nick adams on our page. You can make a comment underneath that. It was in 2006 that nick adams appeared on a program in sydney called insight. This is from sbs tv and australia. We want to show it to you now. First of all can i say that i hope everyone in this studio feels australian and is proud to be australian. Because i think, i can think of Nothing Better than being australian. What does the australia mean . Its recognizing that we live in a paradox paradise. This is one of the bestknowne secrets in the world. We live in a country that is relaxing, accommodating andd. Tolerant. I find it very disappointing that there are people in this studio that have expressed disenchantment with australia. How can we possibly be a strong nation if we are a divided nation . If we are a nation that looks at herself and says we dont really like this, we are not really good at that. Start with some politics. This rhetoric from the d government is a moment about aussie theater tickets talking white values and christianyou values. Kn its disgusting that it is one of the most embarrassing things [shouting] australia is a country terrified of islam at the moment. Why . Its very good politics. Nick . I think the real issue here is the issue of multiculturalism. T its an issue that everyone is very tentative and disgusting because generally in any debate on multiculturalism is generalli clouded by chance of being racist or uneducated, anything like that. Ge i think the very reason why this has, to the forum, why were having a debate on this is that at the moment we have a situation in australia where there are certain people that live in australia that feel more strongly about or have a greater affinity for the country that their parents came from or the country that they came from. What this does is this is a problem in that it makes loyalty be divided. There are people in this country that really dont know which way which wand i think that multiculturalism is achieved everything it can possibly achieve. I think from running as a downward spiral. Ill tell you why. [shouting] spirit i think [inaudible]el spirit austerely as a family and its a blended family picnic is no longer just a mother, the father and the two children growing up in a way that it did. We have let a new family members, and when you let a new family members they bring in different values, different ways of thinking to how the nuclear sphinx. In order to be a happy extended blended family you have to expand to accommodate them. Just because we might offend values in the 50s that subsided and subsisted then, if you have a policy that embraces new people you have to embraceve their new thoughts. Societies of values have to expand to accommodate that. The fact is there were values in place when these people came to this country and there was something attractive about those values. We all know what it is that weve always had australia is ae paradise. Okay, id like people to speak without being shot in the street spirit you are about to peer we are intolerant. You a we are tolerant. [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] host we also showed our viewers some of your favorite books and influences, and you have one of your favorite books rules for radicals. Books guest you always got to know the enemy if youre going to be the enemy, anything that is required reading for any patriot that cares about the world affair of their country. I think its required reading for anybody that wants to understand how the leftfor anyb operates. It basically lays out a strategy, a roadmap, a tactic for people to use in order to change the culture and transfor the media narrative. One of the things i think the left have always been a lot better at than conservatives is understanding that Culture Trust politics. The culture is more powerful than politics. That political elections and political change have an effect, but really the major pride is the culture. If the culture stays the same, that you have a conservative president or you have a conservative house o house of representatives or stinnett, and really nothing changes. The real change is going to happen. The real transformation is going to happen when you have the culture. The left very successfully deliberately over the last four or five decades has infiltrated surreptitiously the Education System, hollywood and every other mainstream Cultural Institution you can think of, the media. As result now now they own the culture. And we are refugees essentially within the culture. And if we dont do something about it, its only going to get worse. Host some of your n inspirations include your father and somebody named enid white. Is guest the most prolificeni⌟b childrens author ever i believe. She was a british childrens writer. Unfortunately i dont think that the work, one place where i work really wasnt all that prominent was here in the United States because i get to meet an american that knows who she is. But shes the author of the famous spy and the secret seven and these are basically the childrens books that my father grew up with, take it on australia grew up with, that children in all of the other british influenced countries in the world read, and she was just amazing, amazing writer. Unfortunately now because she came from a different time. , they are editing her books to make the more politically correct. They are changing names. They are assigning different duties from girls to boys as to not come across sexist. Her work has been banned in libraries. Her work has been removed in bookstores. We are talking about a lady that wrote more books than anybody you could imagine whose work was translated and 60 different languages. Actually dedicated a chapter in retaking america, and you know, i love reading and she was part of the reason why i love reading so much. I love reading so much that i wrecked my eyes and i had to go and get laser eye surgery a few years ago. My my parents would demand me to turn off the light and go to sleep. So i would always have a torch hidden next to be in the bed. And so as soon as the light was turned off i would be reading like that. A bit too much of that led to my my eyeeing messed up. But no look, i have no regrets. I love enid. She was incredible. All adventure stories. All adventure stories perfect for anyone. Im going to make sure my children read her books posting what did your parents do on australia . Guest my father is a mathematician, got a degree in pure mathematics. Hes been a mathematics teacher for a long time. My mother is a characterological nursing specialist. She is the manager of an age care facility back in australia, but both my maternal and paternal sides there is a history of retailers, traders. And so i have that Small Business background entrenched in me as well. Well. You know, my mom and dad really i think, ought to be credited for everything i am. They are watching right now. Cspan2. You know, they, i want to thank them public speaking readingnythic for any thing extracurricular to improvise, t sulphate never complained in fact they encouraged it and i am the way i am because of my mom and dad only thing about moving to america is unfortunately they are not able to be here with me inly the United States wants i become a citizen they can have a green card because they are immediate family members but unfortunatelyxt for and dont have them close. But they can come in and out of the country. Absolutely. N dads health is good he was born with though hall in his heart that wentsed until he undiagnosed through his mid30s then had openheart surgery he loves for itloves fr looking at me rather blankley but he loves the fruit so much he got diabetes. He is not somebody who has candy but he ate so much that ht fruit the sugar the fruit i gave him diabetes. S is doing well and looking out for himself a little bit more and is on a good diet. I know theyre looking forward to coming back to visit me. Ta host their Prime Minister was in the news recently. It was of story world wide. Headed did spiral of control so terrible became the Prime Minister and effectively he stole the position from the previous one Prime Minister he was subject to a coup in the parliament and i think when malcolm cannot have one so effectively he stole thatat m from ad bit more negative but turnbull is a moderate conservative he is wish you washy to prevent in terms with a democrat than a republican in the Republican Party to put it in terms of americans would understand but he is a day rino coming up with the deal that waswa broken between Malcolm Turnbull thenpresident obama and secretary kerry that panettas states would take 1250 Illegal Immigrants were from australia that came in and until your application is like that 1250 of these people would come to the United States and become permanent residence. Kn soap talking about what i had to go through they were not wanted by australia and would be taken in by the United States but i cannot see any upside to the United States. So nevertheless and secretary carry. But to spoil all of that. That is during 2016. But they had Malcolm Turnbull to come out to formally announce this deal that was made a couple of months earlier with president obama and secretary kerry. But really it was because Malcolm Turnbull was looking for ways to box in President Trump as a done deal by forcing his hand even though Malcolm Turnbull knew he campaigned vigorously with fell full idea know when that this would come and. So now when the discussion happens it was not pretty. , it because President Trump knew what Malcolm Turnbull tried to do. So there was of the discussion but then went to make this announcement to force President Trumps and. So now we have a relationship that is up in the year. American allia in the air. But that is what happens when you play with fire and backfires. And as part of the whole campaign that you could box somebody in like that. Host nick adams is our guest with the in depth program. An2 in dept his first book in 2010. Then exceptional america in 2012 the american and boomerang. 2013 retaking america. Last year as did green card warrior. John and davenport florida you are on the air. Caller good afternoon gentlemen. This is my second call ida think in 20 years. The last time i called and i have watched since the beginning is the only time off i have seen bright in flummoxed fled last the viewers to vote on the most popular journalist in america and it was charley. So i am glad youre here so immersed in in the culture in the republic of texas. Ica is a wonderful thing. I have what she the last couple of years on cspan i am proud to call you at american and did this sort of sad we have to have outsiders amelias what our country is about just like Dinesh Dsouza should go altogether but progressives have gotten control of our Education System 180 years ago and they got to a point where antiamerican and patriotism. But you announced your new program for education you are up against the teacherss union how do you see that going . I am astonished you could possibly get confided i cannot imagine they would be anywhere except texas. How was that problem going . Thank you very much. I appreciate you calling only the second time and to be a great view are speaking to the conservative forum. And the great group of patriots you probably would not expect for people like me and people like you. The Education System has been compromised so to begin the Foundation People said it is the best idea they ever heard. World yo and 1 2 to tell you we have only spoken at a handful in a handful of private schoolsubl so 29 have been publicschool and im sure that will change the will bear breathing down our necks butffe we are ready for this fightt fin because i am sick of playing defense. I am second of being dictated to we will turn upay and show up and fight and do whatever we have to do to make sure the young in this country are patriotic and spread the American Value system that the teacher unions get into the way it is nothing that we have not been through before or that we have not seen they have not seen our resolve a have not seen as punch the of bully in the nose. And i will keep going to make sure these American Children are ready toam perpetuate the american idea. And i have colonel alan west and the founder of the Heritage Foundation a contributor and post in, led John Sullivan the executive producer, ed Dennis Prager to make shirts we are a voice in america as has been done up until now everybody using them as a punching bag. , california. Spa. Host california emails despotism alston prevents itself the defender of the oppressed and the founder. President trump is no dictator or hitler to call somebody a misogynist or to Say Something and to derail this service to call President Trump a dictator and of people that actually suffer. And President Trump one is a leader, alpha male and says woody thinks what he thinks and i think all of those things which should be welcome to so lets wait and see what happens. I came across the channel by mistake. I dialed did the wrong number said iso glad that i did. Talking about your t patriotism that was the kind of patriotism i was raised dog. I am from california i was r not raised from liberal teachers we would sing songsands in delays felt i could do anything wanted to do a matter who i was boy or girl i was very proud of it is great to have people vlsi kevin because that is how liable ways felt. Host Hillary Clinton won 60 percent of the california vote with donald trump on the popular vote by 4 million votes how do you explain that . What about california seceding . If you look at those voting for donald trump life think he beat her by the countys the population down south than los angeles and around San Francisco very concentrated areas if you t look at the map we voted overwhelmingly for donald trump so when he wase was campai campaigning that is the same thing if you look at all the states he had one that is hell he ran his campaign strictly on popular vote he would campaign strictly in your california but that is not how the game is played so its not fair to bring that up and justin palo alto the voter fraud one county i love all of california we have been hijackedd temporarily but i dont believe in seceding and all i think they contribute to the union very much with produce and freedom of thought and our intentions and athletes there is nono reason for california to secede were part of america lae also the largest economy in the world. Thanks for that and i appreciate that the days to you happen to be so blessed unfortunately they are very different those along toward now. We are trying to make sure we bring back all of those things that you know to be part of the School System that is what we are working on to incorporate american exceptional is some o be mor exceptionalism and how that used to be done in many ways. But to make that recipe wellknown fund to promoteme American Values and patriotism that is what we want. I agree. California is a beautiful state it is unfortunate has the politics that has but it should not secede and shouldn stay in the union to focus on the union and to stay strong and what police have currently done. Host caller from delaware. Caller i have benefits and over 20 years so the segue from booknotes i am a firsttime caller have spent to australia coming down from japan so i am related to the adm of there moral compass i heard yougr very early in the program talking about the distinction between now and the future of People Living l in japan in the 70s and Milton Friedman could change the culture there with a number of icons the do have interest of john adams or i grant phenomenon like the book Atlas Shrugged from ayn rand also talked about exceptional thinking people like Milton Friedman or those organizations to come from the foundation we celebrated the 50th anniversary. Looking to other organizations and in second regards so then but that is of big thing. With the rule of law how wasas that for you . There is a lot there. Youre with a very informed the word viewer but what i want to say what we are with partnering up with other likeminded organizationsint u. Like the Heritage Foundation and other uh Centennial Institute that are doing remarkable things and talking about all of the measurements you were alluding to with an organization that celebrated the 50th anniversary those types of foundations no other country has organized like that are has the equivalent of the 501c 3 when people run around the t country to report yourojects aca objectives and your projects and your financial support. That is uniquely american there is anything moreea american really than the interest the unparalleled interest so i just want to make that point in organization like mine is only possible in the United States so if you talk about japan when you look at all the countries america had a hand to rebuild the influence whether germany or japan theyre all capitalist it is part of that soft power in america does have that modest touch. That is something which more people around the world and with the conservative philosophy and all the way from ed member Barry Goldwater him people often say to me what else do you believe . Onsibility, the sanctity of human lifeife, e life, a Strong National defense committees are all things better close to myy heart in israel. That catapulted america on this earth whiff as many different likeminded to spread out messages far and wide. If there is the school you want us to speak at please go to the website ratings . Guest i think it is fair to say donald trump is an individual and the character and a lot of things that we dont expect from people have been president of the United States vital think that is necessarily a bad planning it is a great thing and an interesting thing in it is refreshing. What i have made that. Comment . No. Th would you . I would guess not he is a showman and entertainer and dont think we should getd petty pat and caught up with a of and the tweets that he makes what get what he is doing as opposed to just saying. I know that the man sleepsoing one thing after the other. Host the next call comes from oregon. Caller good day. I am so fascinated personally i have been outta the political forays for many years the 1n good thing t that has come out that any to speak at until peoplein what i think and i am willing to do that i appreciate your conservative point of view especially coming from another country and telling people. That is kind of view that is why the name of the company is flag. In some cultures they know longer have a voice i want to be that patriotic voice in the media and in the schools in this important that your view is represented the greatest honor that we have is tot were give you your voice back if you want to check out more of the work read about the success were doing amazing work. Host we are listening. Please go ahead. I am calling from sale of organs. Caller as a citizen of the United States the very proud citizen of the United States and then i expressed my opinion. App i am appreciate your program and how you express sure self and your point of view. My suggestion with the 04 organization either physically but they do believe it is not a bad idea with ilLegal Immigrationim coming from muslim from the United States but i have paid big problem maybe to australia or europe to be based on religion so in my opinion i am a muslim but in the particular countries like europe but we are americans we do not know the concept of an sharia law it is not consistent with the United States or any other countries law or constitution. Host we will get the comments. Thanks for calling andyo watching. Guest you are exactly right it is about death and slavery and the pursuit of power the to do not mix they have to believe in American Values in should just not be an economic transaction i think there should be more to wit than that. You have to be on team america. Adical to support sharia law without radical element of your religion with the western world and they will achieve nothing until they achieve the caliphate. Ll the trh we have to recognize this the truth this since the inception of islam from the battle of constantinopleing with with those islamic terrorist round the world is very clear we have a substantial problem on our hands and we need to take action the stakes are as high as ever before. So rise to the area that we are in and we will be the casualty of that war. Diamond the process of nick adams spout his nonsense one of the dominant traits is dominance and oppression of every population ask the aborigine in hat inhabitants of australia. Is this true that both america and most dryexx have a past that is not negative that is not wonderful. Should we dwell on that . No. Should we hauled a grudge forever . Begrudge them fo absolutely not. With the work that they do for flag the argument concerning slavery it is undeniably a black mark on america but the truth is itn is not only america that had slavery in the other truth is the only country that goes to war with itself to end slavery was the United States of america. So those have this ideological idea but if you see the world through particular lens then you have this ideological straitjacket and you are enslaving yourself from those shackles to concentrate on all that is great with america is good this goodness and have protected land freed more people restored more freedoms than anywhere else with the american military. And for him to talk about the white race to use the incendiary language it just is not true. Believe it or not it was the white people that were freeing people around the if youre know if you have a problem with white people then clearly were antiamerican. That is a big problem and that should not be part of america thought. Host half an hour left from california goahead. Caller mr. Adams think for your stance for america i worked if in power plants 32 years and i went to was School District because notno every child can go to college. Well understand that but the police department, Fire Department they have a day to talk to students to talk about things and there they and colleges or the union comes to talk about the apprenticeships if he started a certain pace scaleu ba and then become a journeyman. They give the ironworkers or pipefitters or whenever. Many do this. But the superintendent said the absolutely not you will not talk to those children and t tell them anything. Why is there such a narrow minded idea . Host i apologize that that you were done. Guest you indeed were protecting america might want to say in terms of School Children for that we expose our students. Were not asking to be a politically incorrect version of curriculumevents taui curriculum, weirdest asking for education objectively. re ng were not asking to wash away to put up a pretend view were just seeking to have objectivity and professionalism. I apologize i was checking emails. We will try to get into as many schools as we can to protect the interest of education. I am watching from alaska but cannot find a way to call. A side from the threat what other factors negatively impact feminism quick. That is a substantial part of their of the angry women to create their own agenda know there is gender neutral classroom and then can become when men and vice versa and allot around the country fighting that is a substantial threat to the traditional family from our society and the foundation of civilization for the whole demonization of men it is very dangerous it is an american unamerican and will lead to the suicide if we cannot act as men to be men if that fortitude is removed from lesson reallyemy we will go laydown that has never been the american way. I would just recall the of words of the united flight that went down in pennsylvania at they realized what was happening and they said lets roll. So to be the alpha male would be good for families and the dissipation of feminist influence will duvall. Host you write politicians are the living breathing proof america is less feisty due to Political Correctness. Today our purpose there was a time if you were a politician or elected representative if you go down and have the beer tella few jokes and could be yourself and engage with people that now i find that precedent trump is the glaring exception to this but with of platitude they dont mean what they say if you were going to represent people i want to know you have personality in there is meat and potatoes so that social media landscape that we live in, every little bit, of dangerous tumor has vilified that now they say why take a chance . I will be vanilla and boring su so now the policy has suffered. Host texas thanks for holding you are on with our author nick adams. Caller they explore the free press opportunity i want to know why doesnt donald trump acknowledgedrtant r the important part of a free press . Thomas jefferson said he would rather have a free press and government. Why do they fear any one person that they are the answer to our problem squawks. I dont think President Trump has a problem with the free press i think is of by a suppressed the biased press that amplify the rumors that circulate i think the president has an issue ended dont think canby disputed to be a part of the Mainstream Media is something that has to be changed and rectified the and if it doesnt than what will happen will continue to happen if it is important to recognize the firings of the media with these we want to those organizations to be fair and reasonable but sadly were just not getting that right now were white 100 percent behind President Trump but its about time we have somebody to call the media out somebody has ben in the spotlight since the age of 19 especially to the year their discussions of conservative speakers to vilify those that our bold enough to come out if they are conservative just dont come out and say that in our face. From july of 2015 hour wave pigeon killer at the end of last month i attended the western conservative site with a Third Division fox and fax fox news commentator elected to the negative Field Council and office the big idea in order to reduce the spread of avian flu. An awful human being to be hinged with envy or jealousy to achieve the great things i could achievehe a he is nobody in australia and it upset him that i have the platform that i have and as the fox news commentator that i have been able to do more with my life and him. One of the youngest ever elected councilman and was elected the countrys youngest deputy mayor eight days after my 21stst birthday you dont know this but to be a young liberal activist the liberal party of all australia is the equivalent of the Republican Party i was never a liberal but i have been aa conservative my entire life he can write whenever he wants to write and i am being kind. The berg thing r is the bird thing right about the pigeons . I cannot put the idea because of the influence the one of the big problems or the issues in that municipality that i was representing that the eaves or the Perfect Place for the pigeons to come nast. So there was droppings in than is a polities said dont feed the pigeons. And thinking from the other point of view looking to make a name for myself to eliminating pensions. We want. Pigeons but to dwell on that again that makes my accomplishments in life my education or intellect. Afternoon. First of all,t congratulations to neck to becoming an american and his bureaucracy i have many of his books in their watches interviews of the one to say is continue to fight the good fight. Very kind of you i am very kind of view i will continue to be out there. D on glad to have you with us. You dont hear that much from the southern border in the United States there are so many topics first of all, you waste june much time on your critics as to influencing Public Policy and his constituents from he was elected the we will leave him there. Just to give you some information some states havenf enacted the foreign law statutes to come on track in this country so the concern of infiltration in our country but my biggest bang issue were the kind of person i like to grab it and fix it also with a classic liberal that you correctedt goo. And liberalism is the current good conservatism from edmund burke and the list goes on behalf problem with the 100 year march of socialism that they start to push back now those victims of communism to have People Killed also obama the educational system is so corrupted now we have the situation on campus and you dont have freespeech unless you reach che gueverrra. What is your strategy to correct this . But they are ignorant people are killed in the last century and under that type of authoritarian ideologyis loon and they always give me this look of the authoritarian regimes lack of freespeech your political participationlack the black market freemarketet capitalism looks that you dealing with 100 years of the educational system. Host we will get a response. Thanks for the call. Guest i am much more southern originally thank you for your kind words. Show up and fight. Of the le use the tactics of of left we have to be employed to use the tactics of the left we but if we dont do this then we just want when. But to be better and bigger and stronger to be utterly convinced we can win the fight with the Education System with the earlier caller from california one of the biggest issues today is students are going to college that should not be going to college in is part of this politically correct approach to education that everybody gets a trophy over the last 30 years to t demonize and this country to elevate college education. His fantastic but not for everyone there are far too many students in the system that frankly should not be there not to mention tradespeople make more money than almost everybody else that needs to be rectified to be sure there are people going into the trades with the academic ability when the courses are not there. Host a tweet when did the aussies turn intoth scandinavian said . It is a great point it is vastly different it has been perpetuated with the Crocodile Hunter and this is not a knife this is a knife and another great lover of the United States to push this idea that australia is the place that can wrestle crocodiles by day but i cannot believe it is not true. The reality is the second most urbanized countries in the world. If you live in one of the six major cities. That is significant because you have to think about where culture is created it should not surprise anybody be have scandinavian values. They have big city billions values nationally when people come and hail from big cities. But an interesting point the nick adams hypothesis flag would get more money to study this but if i count the populations asa angeles comedy york, chicago york, chicago, atlanta you will not get pastople. 80 million. But to say 300 million that is less than onethird of americas population lives in a big city and that means twothirds but is a narrow or regional area. That is why sarah palin in a rare moment of lucidity said america is in a country ofof small towns and she was one of did exactly correct. And is very much that way. To believe that ameritech is the one country in the world that i do believe that natural heart and soul of america is conservative. To be inherently and big role of thconservative very much the big role of that is the demography on a National Level to always be represented and like anywhere else in the world as there are other countries thy that we can reference but it is an interesting thing that the majority of people do not live in a big city to be synonymous with democratic support. Host frankie you are the last call indianapolis. Caller hello. I have been listening to your talk and speaking as a disgusting communist progressive as myself i do have a few bones to pick you talk about feminism has destroyed American Culture and men have been demonized speaking now to guest, sexual and trans gender and have done this from the standpoint of our Education System needs to be reorganized and also donaldwoule trump is in a way a desperate despot and i those who of medical charts harassment of females andmi minorities of all stripes and Trump Supporters shouting out during rallies. You also say the press in is biased but the fact is trump would say the outright mr. And misinformation. What is your take on indoctrination . I am not about indoctrination what remains to be in american so we want to give them the confidence only to manufacture with the benefit of the entire world my understand we have a very different world view and that to be very wrong number of instances i dont want to do credit to what you say i dont know any of that to be true. Talking about harassment right now on my twitter feet you will see that the same goes for both sides i dont like any of that and i think i have made that clear. I love the United Stateses america. The hist the best country and the history of the world. I have come here to make not take not to change it and have come here to help repay the American People and the american nation. I dont want to change it and wanted to be a refuge for people everywhere. Retaking america, Political Correctness came out last year as did green card warrior.
