There’s a new sheriff in town and Homan’s bringing the hammer with him

Good afternoon, American. Welcome to the Dean's List. And yes, I sound worse than I actually am. I sound worse than I feel. And I have Kofix RX to think for that. All my friends, Kofix RX has come through in the clutch for me yet again, because now if I'm in this stage without Kofix RX,

I'm I've got a fever. I'm my throat is on fire and I'm probably at home on the couch. But with Cofix RX, I and I've been taking the throat and the nasal spray in conjunction with one another. Just I've been doing it simultaneously, alternating. And I am so grateful for this product.

I can tell you, I've talked about gratitude a little bit this month. I think it's something that we should be teaching our students. I think it should be the foundation actually of our educational platform. I think kids should know and understand the tools on how to be grateful and how to live in gratitude. I today am so grateful for this product.

It is, I'm telling you what, it's keeping me on my feet. It is, it's keeping me on my feet and ready to go. And I, you know, let's just talk about it right now. Go to americaoutloud.shop right now and use coupon code out loud and you'll get 20% off of the throat and the nasal spray.

No. I don't mean for this entire show to be an infomercial on the products I use here at the shop, but I've got to tell you in conjunction with the KOFIX RX, before my immediate health,

I'm taking some products from chemical-free body. And they are fantastic. One of the products is the daily V-stack. And in conjunction with the Kofix RX, the daily V-stack is just chock full of vitamins. A, C, vitamin D, zinc. I mean, you name it. Well, I don't know. I mean, I shouldn't say you name it. It's in there.

Because they're there's only six but they are potent and they are powerful and you just you just take the little dropper you fill the dropper up Stick that bad boy under your tongue and boom away. You go. I'm also from chemical free body. I'm also taking the green 85 juice formula This thing is it's fantastic it it

replenishes the 85% of the nutrients that are mined from the soil. They're right here, right here in the green 85. And these products are from chemical-free body. I take them, I use them. And if you use code out loud, when you purchase the VStack or the green 85 at americaoutlaw.shop, 20% off. Holy smokes, you can think before it later.

It may just do for you what it's doing for me. And it's keeping me absolutely afloat because you know the deal here. I work in a Petri dish surrounded by little kids. I mean, the other day I had pies thrown in my face. I mean, it was a fundraiser.

You know, I'm covered in plastic bags, but there's my head sticking out of plastic bags. And these little kids are just getting these plates filled up with whipped cream. I have no idea. I mean, they're laughing. They're just, you know, they're holding their, I don't know what they're, you know, not all the laughter. I don't know how much saliva's going into these pies that are then being plastered out of my face. Sure enough.

A couple of days later, I started coming down with it. And I was like, uh-oh, uh-oh, where is, where's my Colfax? My Colfax RX and the VStack in Green 85. Without these products, I would be at home and I would be on the couch. I would be laid out. But instead, I'm still here. I'm still at it. I'm still getting it done. Perhaps much to the chagrin of all the students in the building.

They're like, Mr. Bowen, why can't you just be sick? Just take some time. I don't know. Maybe they're not saying that. I'm grateful, however, that I'm here. Oh, the gratitude that I feel right now. And I tell the kids about it too. I want them to know there's things I'm grateful for. Because here we want them to have the tools

to be able to be grateful. We want them to have the tools for gratitude. And the best way to do that is to model it. And so we do. We model how to be grateful. So Aristotle said that there are particular virtues which can't be taught. They have to be habituated. They have to be absorbed

from the culture and then the students have to just come about doing them through habit. These are the virtues he referred to as moral virtues. And he said, it's these virtues that we do through habit that create character. And in my opinion, gratitude is, I don't know that you can teach gratitude.

You have to watch it happen in real, in real life, in real time. And, and then you, as you're seeing it modeled, you watch how it's being done. You see how somebody is, is going through something, but yet they're grateful for other things that they may not be grateful for what they're going through.

But they have the ability to find other things in their life that they're grateful for. Look, I'm not trying to put myself on a pedestal here and toot my own horn. But when kids hear me, they hear my voice today and they hear how horrible it is. But yet, I tell them how grateful I am.

for these products that I'm taking because without these products, I would not be in the building today. I would be laid up and I need to be in the building because there's stuff I got to get done. And I just, you know, it's just a way to model a particular type of life. And if students know how to be grateful, then

they can manage anything. They can work through anything that life throws at them. If they have the ability to walk through life with gratitude, so the apostle Paul in his epistles that at one point he says, be thankful for everything.

And I'm like, you've got to be thankful for everything. You can't be thankful for everything. He says in everything, give thanks. Those are his exact words. In everything, give thanks. Well, I don't think you have to be thankful. I'm not thankful for the voice right now. I'm not thankful that there's some type of virus attacking me.

What I am thankful for is that I have these products available that I can, you know, overcome it and I can work through it. I can destroy it. And everything gives thanks. There is something, no matter what you're going through in your life, there is something that you can be giving thanks for. Excuse me. It might not be the thing that you're going through, but there's something else that you could be thankful for.

And this is, this is an important element of, of having gratitude is, you know, many times people will tell us, get a journal. And I mean, you can literally buy gratitude journals. I mean, they literally say gratitude. I'm, I've got one, I've got one in my desk. You can, you can literally buy these things for this purpose. And you just start listing things that you're grateful for. And if you did this in the morning,

Or in the, you know, in the evening before you went to bed when I don't care pick a time. I mean, the morning just seems to work for me. It's quiet, calm. I get a lot done in the morning before anybody is up before anybody's in the building. I mean, I'm usually you're bright and early usually by 6 a.m. just because it's a good time to be quiet and a good time to just think through things.

And what a great time to just make note of what you're grateful for. Because once this starts, and I didn't intend to talk about this today, but maybe somebody needs to hear it. I don't know. I've got other things on my list. I've got a whole stack of stuff to get through, but maybe somebody needs to hear this. Once you start thinking about things that you're grateful for,

things that bring gratitude into your world, into your life, into your heart and mind. And then these things begin to take precedent. The things that you're grateful for take precedent over the things that you might normally worry about. And if you can exchange

worry for gratitude. You, you have, you've done something. You have done something that will that in that moment will bring you success. If at any point in time in your life, if you can exchange worry for gratitude, you're on the path to success because worry is only going to pull you down into

the depths of despair. That's what worry does to us. That's what it does to us and for us. It invites us into this place of despair. Gratitude on the other hand invites us up into a whole nother arena. Gratitude invites us up to a place of hope.

Gratitude invites us into this element where we have things that we can now look forward to because we're grateful. We're grateful for things. Gratitude is the doorway to the theological virtues, in my opinion. It's one of the doorways to faith, hope, and love.

Worry is a doorway to the vices. It's a doorway to despair, to depression, to giving up, to throwing in the towel. The opposite of stick to itiveness. It can lead to the opposite of courage. It can lead to fear. Gratitude doesn't take us down that road. And if you can find a doorway into faith, hope, and love,

And you can live in that arena. You can live in the theological virtues as we call them. Then you're better off, a thousand times better off. You're in a better state mentally. You're in a better state physically. You're in a better state spiritually. Physically, I mean, name it. You're in a better state.

when you're living in the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love. Unfortunately, these virtues have been driven out of public education, but in a classical Christian education, it is one of our primary focuses, faith, hope, and love. We want the kids to experience it. We want them to understand how to get there.

We want them to understand how faith hope and love when, when dominating our thoughts, when dominating our feelings, when dominating our world, we're a thousand times better. We improve across the board. We improve academically. We improve socially. We

We improve internally, spiritually, mentally. We improve physically. This is, this is the direction that we want to take our kids in. And this is the foundation of the education that we provide. You know, we give them math that, you know, they, we teach them how to math, how to do it well.

We teach them how to read and how to do it well. We teach them how to write and how to write well. We teach them American history. We teach them the sciences. They understand Latin. I mean, they're getting all of this good rich. This is just a good rich education that they're getting here. But the foundation of it is found in the virtues and specifically in the theological virtues.

in the moral virtues, in the intellectual virtues, in the civic virtues. Because once students have this foundation, then they are prepared for what life brings them. They are prepared to step out into the real world. They are prepared for the trials and the struggles. Because then it's not a cakewalk. Life is in the cakewalk. You and I know it. We know it's not a cakewalk.

but we need to prepare them. And not only do they know, not only should they be proficient in math and reading and writing and in U.S. history, they should be proficient in how to handle the storms of life and how to get up, pull yourself up by your bootstraps and go after it with courage, fortitude, with stick-tutiveness, with persistence,

Well, as I said, I did not mean to go down this road today, but maybe someone needed to hear it. Somebody probably needed to hear it. All right.

By the year 2024 must be the year of the Patriot and America Outlaw.News will equip you with all the information you need to give new meaning to the words Patriot Act, for our actions always ultimately define our words.

Now is our time, my fellow Americans. America out loud talk radio, liberty, and justice for all. I want to give you an update on the Romaker family. This is the family that

they sought freedom in the United States after being persecuted in Germany for homeschooling their kids. We talked about this last year. It kind of blew up and became a big deal because the Biden administration was going to kick them out of the country. I did speak to Kevin Bowden. He came on the show and Kevin is the attorney and director

for the Home School Legal Defense Association. He is the Director of the International Division. And he was working on this case for the Romica family at the end of October. And this is the update. They sent out this press release to me. And I meant to bring it up earlier. But at the end of October, ICE officials met with the Romica family.

and extended their permission to stay in the United States for another year. Kevin Bowden did comment on this. He said, we are celebrating this good news and rejoicing with the Romikas that they can continue to live together in freedom with their whole family and community in Tennessee.

The press release says that this decision is consistent with previous ICE decisions dating all the way back to 2012 when the family first fled to the United States after German officials made several efforts to shut down their homeschooling program. And those efforts included actually temporarily removing the kids from the home.

However, last year, ICE informed the Romikas after the family had spent 15 years in the United States, building a home here, building a community here, working here. Their kids are in school here, living here, just setting up a life here. The Justice Department and ICE informed them that they would have to go back to Germany. All the while, mind you, the Kamala border is wide open. People are pouring in.

And you've got this family here in Tennessee abiding by the laws of the land becoming actual productive working individuals wanting to become citizens. They came here the right way.

But, you know, the ICE and the Justice Department is out there saying, you got to go. I mean, we're going to let illegals, you know, enter the country at the border. We're even going to pay them. You know, we're going to give them flights to Georgia where then they can go find people and murder them. That's what we've watched unfold. And that's what's continually coming to light, yet the Romica family.

You're going to harass. Excuse me, and you're going to make it miserable for them. Well, here we are. And the, where Mike has have legally remained in the United States under an order of supervision. And ICE notice in 23 order of the family to get their passports and be prepared for deportation.

Germany continues to persecute parents attempting to educate their children at home, by the way. And ICE is going to deport this family back to Germany. However, at the end of October, ICE did meet with the Romica family, extended their order of supervision for another year. Sadly, the Romica's legal status remains unchanged.

until a permanent solution is achieved. The Home School Legal Defense Association will continue to work with members of Congress and others to advocate on their behalf for a just and permanent solution so that the family does not face this risk year after year after year. Imagine having us weighing over your head every year. You have to go back before ICE and you have to wonder, are they going to let us stay? Are they going to deport us to Germany?

Jim Mason is the president of the Home School Legal Defense Association. He said the boundaries of homeschool freedom here in the United States and internationally have greatly expanded, but there's still work to be done.

Germany's highly restrictive homeschooling laws that have hurt this family and forced them to seek freedom here in the United States should be seen as an example of why we need to continue to advocate for homeschool freedom for the sake of these parents and their children, not just here, but throughout the world. So this is what a Trump administration brings us. This is one of the thanks right here.

It's the Trump effect, not only here in the States, but worldwide. The world understands that there is about to be an actual leader in the White House again. I mean, we've seen what's happened over the last couple of days, where the Biden team gave Ukraine the green light to use these missiles against Russia. And Russia's like, all right,

I mean, you do it. And we're going to respond. This is this is war. This we will declare this war against America. And it takes a leader like Trump to he's not even president yet. As president elect, he gets up and says, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Everybody, everybody dial it down. Let's, let's cool the engines here for a second. Let's come to the table. It takes somebody with a

uh cooler heads have to prevail somebody with with his disposition and and he's got the disposition he's got the cool head but he's got the strength to back it he's got the will to back it he understands what needs to be done he legitimately speaks softly and carries a big a big stick yet sometimes he doesn't speak as softly but he legitimately

says cooler heads need to prevail, but I've got this big stick here and I'm going to bring it out if I need to. I'm going to walk up somebody upside their head if I need to. But we have to talk through this. We have to have a conversation about what our actions are going to create. Let's not just end the moment in a hothead moment. Unleash the fury. We have to think through what our actions are going to create.

We have to think through the ripple effect here. And there's going to be a ripple effect. Do you want it to be for good or do you want it to be for evil for destruction? Let's have it be for good. The Trump team understands this. The people that he's putting in charge in his cabinet, they understand this. And the rats in the deep state are in screwy mode. They're just

the reports that we hear every single day coming out of. Well, if this person is appointed to this department, people in this department are going to panic, chaos is going to ensue and they're going to lead. Well, great. Good riddance. That's the point. When Cash Patel's name was starting to be floated out there, becoming head of the FBI,

Holy smokes, heads were spinning. They're like, the FBI, it's going to blow the whole thing up. People are going to, yes, that's what we want. We want a firebrand like Cash Patel going into the FBI to clean house. These are the people we want. We want Tom Holman going in and cleaning up the border.

I promise you as director of ice, Tom Holman is not, he's, he's not going to be letting the border open while, while harassing people like the Romica family. Matter of fact, Tom Holman needs to, to green light the Romicus for just permanent stay while he's shutting down the border. While he's, he talked about three rails the other day.

He was on one of the news programs. And he's talking about the three rails, the three pronged attack that he and the Trump administration is going to make it the border. They're going to close the border. They're going to start deporting illegal aliens. And the third rail, he said, is these 300,000 missing kids? Where are they?

And why doesn't the Biden administration care about finding them? This is the third real home it's talking about. And he's saying, we're going to find where these kids are. They don't know. They don't. They've lost them. They have no idea. They've turned them over to people. Unvetted. You can think of the horror here. The horrific things that these kids are going through.

even as we speak. And home is like, we're going to find these kids. And I believe me. I believe he'll find all 300 of them, about 300,000 of them. Hopefully alive. But this is the type of leadership that we've been desperate for, for four years, desperate for somebody to see the

Actually, it's the type of leadership we've been desperate for for decades. It's the type of leadership that Trump could have provided in this first term. Had he understood the depths of the deep state? I don't think he didn't understand it. Excuse me. I don't think any of us did. I mean, we had our suspicions, but holy smokes to actually

I don't know, just to get the reports of what's actually been going on, that Tucker was interviewing some guy the other day. I don't remember his name. He was a deputy assistant director in Trump's first administration. And now he's going to be the director of, I think, the Office of OMB, Office of Management and Budget.

And he's talking about how the administrative state, you know, Trump would issue an order and the administrative state would just ignore it. You know, yeah, we don't want to do that. What? What would you mean you don't want to do that? He's the president of the United States and you're going to do an end run around him because you want to do something else. You're unelected. You aren't accountable to the people.

that this is a constitutional republic. And in that interview, you know, Tucker keeps referring to, you know, a democracy or democracy or not a democracy, stop it. Everybody stop it. We're a constitutional republic. There are some elements of democracy within the constitutional republic, but we're not a democracy. A democracy is run totally 100% by the people. We're not run by the people.

The people are sovereign, but we don't run it. We elect representatives to run the government for us. Representatives who then answer to us. And we have the ability and the power as the sovereign to remove them from office. But as it stands right now, we've got this fourth unaccountable branch of government. Reagan called the bureaucracy the fourth branch of government and they're unaccountable.

They do what they want to do. They're not voted out of office. They don't have to report back to the people. They weren't elected. No, they, they, and if the president who was elected says, do this, they, they then say, no, I'm not, I'm not going to do that. We're going to do something else. Well, that's about to change. That is about, there is a new sheriff in town.

And this town is about to become nice again. This town is about to, it's about to become beautiful again. And the people in this town are going to feel safe again. Man, I feel like I'm at the end of one of the speeches, you know, we're going to make America safe again. We're going to make America wealthy again. We're going to, we're going to make America great. I mean, this is, there is a new sheriff in town.

And the deep state is real. And they should just pack up now, just pack up right now, just pack up, get out, let Cash Patel walk into the FBI building and let those, you know, those people in the upper echelon that are worried and panicked, just leave. And then we'll prosecute you. I mean, you know, we'll sick Matt Gates on you for the evils that you've done to this country.

You know, we don't even know the half of it. I promise you, we haven't. We don't know. We don't know 99% of it. I bet the stuff that's been going on behind closed doors and back alleys and dark rooms. I bet we don't know 99% of it. This is why they're all scurrying like little rats because light tends to do that. You shine the light of truth on something and the rats begin to scurry.

that the rats are going to go away. And we've got Republican senators out there that are saying, oh, I don't know that Matt Gates is, he's not, I don't think we should. And they're saying that because Gates doesn't care if you're Democrat or Republican, he will go after you. I've got a clip.

Do we have this clip fired up of Gates giving a tour of the ethics committee? We do. We've got it. All right, quick. I just want you to listen to this clip, and I want you to pay attention here. Matt Gates, he doesn't mess around with Democrats or Republicans. If you're an evil doer, I'm just going to put it to you like that.

Gates wants what's best for the country. He loves the country. He's not beholden to a party. I mean, this man, you know what? Let's play the clip. You decide for yourself.

So one of the committees where people have a lot of information is the Appropriations Committee because they can view almost any vector of government funding. And so, you know, this is Mr. Rutherford's office. He's on the Ethics Committee and the Appropriations Committee, 152 stock trades. Stocks go through the roof and, you know, actually bought

Raytheon stock, the day that Russia invaded Ukraine. Yeah, that's a big one. Yeah, I mean, imagine if every American could make money off of war. Yeah, setting aside the whole shame and exit questions. How many more on our hit list here? There are a few more. I wish there were fewer on the hit list. I wish we could only stop at one or two offices, but as it turns out,

So, energy is a sector that sees a lot of congressional stock trading. And we have members who are on the Energy Subcommittee of Appropriations, like Michael Guest, Chairman of the Ethics Committee. And he's traded somewhere between tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy stocks. He's been buying online gaming stocks and just making a killing on them.

you would think that the people that were on the ethics committee would be your best allies in this fight. But indeed, they're some of the most prolific traders, and not only trading, but in the case of Mr. Guest, trading in an area where he has access to energy information more so than almost any other American. So Gates is giving this interview. It's actually a tour. He's talking to this film crew.

giving them a tour of these representatives offices while speaking to them specifically about members of Congress who are making a killing in the stock market. And Gates is asserting that they're doing so because they have information, information that helps them

Trade whatever stock they want to trade. The reason Matt Gates is so feared by Republicans and Democrats alike is these two members of Congress that he's calling out here in this interview tour. They're both Republicans. Gates isn't, he's not beholden to the party. Gates is the type of person who is beholden to the country. Gates loves America.

more than he loves the Republican Party. And he's calling out fellow Republicans. This is why Republicans in the Senate are dead set. I'm giving him a hard time because they're upset about it. So the first person that Gates calls out in the interview, Representative John Rutherford, who is on the ethics committee and the appropriations committee, he's a Republican.

You know, Gates said that he had 152 stock trades and these stocks went through the roof. This is the guy who bought Raytheon stock the day Russia invaded Ukraine. Now coincidence, maybe, but you're on the appropriations committee. You have some inside information. You've got inside baseball when you sit on these committees.

John Rutherford has made a killing in the stock market. And to Gates' point, he shouldn't be able to do that. As a sitting member of Congress, you have information that everyday Americans do not have. You should not be allowed to make a killing in the stock market. CEOs of companies, they're not allowed to trade their own stock. If they know something is coming out,

They're not allowed to instantly, you know, buy, you know, go long or go short or buy a call option or buy a put option depending on the information they know is coming to the public. It's illegal. The next guy he calls out, representative Michael Guest is a Republican. And he chairs the ethics committee, this guy does, and he's also on the energy committee.

And Gates says he's traded hundreds of thousands of dollars in every stock and mostly energy. And he's making a killing. So here this fire brand is Matt Gates calling out Republicans here. And this is the man that Trump has tapped to clean up the Department of Justice.

It's no wonder people in the department of justice are scurrying, saying if, you know, if Matt Gaetz is coming to town, that's when he's already in town, but if Matt Gaetz has come into this building, if he's coming to this department, we're leaving. Well, what does that say about you? If you're afraid of the cleaner coming in and cleaning up and you're mad about that. And so you're preparing to leave. What does that say about you? You should be preparing to leave. Yeah, go be gone with you.

because Americans are tired of it. We're tired of this fourth branch of government running the show unaccountable to us, unelectable. Just out here subverting the will of the people who we have elected, subverting the will of our representatives who are the people who are sovereign, we're still sovereign. While since FDR in the creation of these

behemoth departments, that sovereignty has been eroded because people in the alphabet soup in Washington have been doing endarounds, finding a way to subvert the sovereign. Those days are done because a new sheriff is in town. Subverting the sovereign has run its course. This thing is over.

And it's something that we, the people, have demanded for a long time. And we made our point on November 5th. The country made its point. The citizens of the country made their point. And they said, we're done. Not only are we done with higher gas prices, higher egg prices, higher grocery prices. Not only are we done with a collapsed border, not only are we done with our education system being destroyed,

We're done with the deep state running this country covertly.

I have a fantastic example for you that describes the difference between the incoming Trump administration and the outgoing Biden administration. And this example comes to us at the very tail end of the Trump administration in 2020. On December 21, 2020, Donald Trump, on his way out,

issues and executive order entitled promoting beautiful federal architecture. All right, that's the order. The point of the order is to ensure that all federal building designs command respect of the general public for their beauty and visual embodiment of America's ideals. This is in the order. The order sought to establish a classical look

classicalism as the default style for federal buildings, leaving room for other styles only when appropriate. At the beginning of his presidency, however, Joe Biden coming in in January of 2021, he issues an order revoking this mandate. Despite the public's clear dissatisfaction with architecture,

that sacrifices beauty in the name of expediency and utility. This is a fact. The public is very dissatisfied with modern architecture. Well, consider it yourself. I mean, do you love the look of modern buildings versus the rich design of a classical Greco-Roman building?

It's you're not alone. Everybody feels this way, except for the architects who are designing these modern woke pieces of garbage. Okay, here's Trump's order. Section one is the purpose of the order. Again, the order is entitled promoting beautiful federal civic architecture. The purpose here is societies have long recognized the importance of beautiful public architecture.

Ancient Greek and Roman public buildings were designed to be sturdy and useful, and also beautiful. They're designed to beautify public spaces and inspire civic pride. Throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, public architecture continued to serve these purposes. And Trump makes note of this 1309 Constitution of the City of Siena.

The Constitution required that whoever rules the city must have the beauty of the city as is for most preoccupation, because it must provide pride, honor, wealth, and growth to the C.N.E. citizens, as well as pleasure and happiness to visitors from abroad. Three centuries later, Trump notes, the great British architect Sir Christopher Wren,

declared that public buildings are the ornament of a country. Architecture establishes a nation, draws people in commerce, makes the people love their native country. Architecture, he said, aims at eternity.

Notable founding fathers agreed with these assessments and attached great importance to federal civic architecture. They wanted America's public buildings to inspire the American people and encourage civic virtue. That's the point. Civic virtue, the founders believed deeply in. They felt like citizens should love their country and they believed that architecture would inspire that love.

Both Washington as president and Jefferson as Secretary of State consciously modeled the most important buildings in Washington, D.C. They modeled them on the classical architecture of ancient Athens and Rome. They sought to use classical architecture to visually connect our contemporary republic with the antecedents of democracy and classical antiquity.

Reminding citizens not only of their rights, but also their responsibilities and maintaining and perpetuating these institutions. Now, tell me you don't want an administration that is interested in offering beauty in its architecture to the citizens. Tell me you don't want that. And by the time we got to the 1950s,

Trump note in his order that the federal government largely replaced traditional designs for a new construction with modern ones. This practice became official policy. After the ad hoc committee and federal office space proposed what became known as, you're going to love this, the guiding principles for federal architecture. The guiding principles implicitly discouraged classical and other traditional designs known for their beauty.

declaring instead that the government should use contemporary designs. And Trump comes along and he says, why are we going with designs that are known for their beauty? We need to start beautifying the place again. What's the problem here? And he signs this executive order to promote beautiful federal civic architecture. So what does Biden do when he gets into office?

This article entitled Biden Revokes Trump's Beautiful Architecture Executive Order says that Joe Biden has revoked the executive order, 13967, promoting beautiful federal civic architecture that former President Trump signed on December 18th. And the article refers to Trump's executive order as controversial.

The revocation of Trump's controversial order is hardly surprising. Given how much the early days of President Biden's administration involved overturning many of the executive orders signed by his predecessor. Well, who is the beautification of architecture order controversial to? In parentheses, in this article in parentheses, it says it's controversial to architects at least.

What? That's it. It's controversial to the architects who despise beauty. These liberal leftist architects that want modernity and no beauty at all. Give me a break. The American people want beauty. They are born to desire beauty. Why are we mesmerized by a sunset and a sunrise?

I mean, we're mesmerized by beautiful architecture. When we see pictures of the Sistine Chapel, one of our teachers went to Italy a couple weeks ago. And she came back and she said, seeing it in photos doesn't do it justice. She said I was literally mesmerized, staring at the beauty of not only the paintings in the buildings, but the buildings themselves.

The architecture is gorgeous because our eyes are drawn to particular shapes around its soft edges. We like this. Humanity likes this. We like arches. We like classical architecture. It's beautiful to us, but we don't get that with the liberals.

You know, since the 1950s, we get pointed edges and spaceship type looking things. Nobody wants this. The writers of this article that are falling all over Biden and what a great job he did, revoking Trump's executive order.

It says that Trump's executive order would have mandated classical architecture as the preferred and default architecture of federal public buildings. And what's wrong with that? Yes, it would have mandated that. What's the problem here? Why can't we have classical architecture as the preferred and default architecture instead of this garbage, instead of things that are not beautiful? Oh, but it gets even, it gets better.

vaguely promoted beauty, so his order vaguely promoted beauty in certain federal buildings outside of DC, and established the President's Council on Improving Federal Civic Architecture, which would have submitted a report recommending updates to GSA's policies and procedures to incorporate the policies of the order. The last illuminates the order's main goal.

reversing the guiding principles for federal architecture that was established in 1962. Yes, we want those guiding principles reversed because we want beauty again. And then, of course, the article goes on to bemoan the fact that the members of Trump's counsel are all white men. The members of the president's counsel on improving federal civic architecture, they're just white men. Therefore, they're racist.

So is it racist to want beauty back in architecture again? Is it racist to want? So in a classical education, we talk a lot about pursuing things that are good, things that are true, things that are beautiful. Because deep down, this is what humanity wants. This is what we crave. We long for it. We long for what's true. We long for what's good and we long for what's beautiful.

And Trump gets it, he understands it. The people that are making up his team right now, they get it, they understand it. And you know, leftists that are in both parties, by the way, both Republican and Democrat. They're just, they're not good people. Did you see, I mean, have you stopped to take note? Have you seen the picture of the four together? Trump,

Elon, Tulsi, and RFK Jr. And the caption is the Democrats won the election because they all used to be Democrat. It's not about the party, my friends. It's about defeating the evil of Marxism that wants to destroy everything that's good, true, and beautiful. That's what it's about.

And we've got people in this administration that are going after Marxist in both parties. And I absolutely love it. Love it. Love it. Love it. All right. We're running out of time today.
