AUTO-GENERATED TRANSCRIPT:Hey greetings everyone, Lieutenant Colonel Allen West and welcome to Steadfast and Loyal.[MUSIC]Hey greetings everyone, welcome back to the Steadfast and Loyal program.You know one of the things that I think we do not do very well on our side of the aisle, if you want to call it constitutional conservatives, Republican Party, but we don't have that strategic vision.We don't have that ability to see the battlefield and predict and understand and really get inside the head of our political opposition, our enemy, and their ideology and where they're going to next. You know one of the things that I always do, you know folks that know me is, you know, I always carry my little three by five cards because this helps me to orient on many different subjects and topics because I think really what we're facing in America, it's not about party, it's about two competing philosophies of governance, two different ideologies. And those of you who have heard me speak, you know exactly what I'm talking about, you know where I'm going, it's constitutional conservatism against this progressivism, socialism, statism, Marxism, communism, that's what we're up against. It's about individualism, rights, freedoms, and liberties, and individual sovereignty against this collectivism. It's about, you know, understanding economic empowerment versus economic enslavement. It's all of these things and you know I write these things down. It's about the equality of opportunity versus the equality of outcomes. That's what equity is.But we don't have a good sense of being able to see and understand strategically where the other side is going so that tactically we can defeat them. Let me share with you one of the quotes that I carry around that I share with a lot of people. It says, "The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by dent of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other, until one day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology." That was written back in the 1950s by a woman named Ayn Rand.Now, you think about it. A few years ago, if someone had said, "We're going to have biological males swimming against females in collegiate sporting events," you know what I'm saying? Are you kidding me?Or are you going to have, you know, as I talked about last week in my monologue, you know, Fat Boy Rick, that overweight, gender dysphoric, suicidal U.S. Army major holding pride flags.I mean, can you imagine General Patton walking into a headquarters and seeing Fat Boy Rick sitting there talking about how, you know, "I'm Rachel."Talking about Patton slapping, you know, that guy upside the head because he didn't want to go out there and fight. I believe he probably would have pulled out those ivory handle pistols and ended that story right there. But you can say, "That's harsh, Colonel." But how do we get to this point?See, the left operates on this thing called incrementalism. They don't come out there first down 10 yards to go and try to throw a bomb, which is what we tend to do on our side. We want everything right now. We want to go from the 20-yard line all the way down to the 10.No, see, the left understands you pick up three, four yards here. You pick up four, five yards here. Oh, first down. And now you got a new set of downs. You pick up another three, four yards. Pick up another four or five yards. Oh, another first down. That's how they marched the ball down the field. And they score. And they get these things done. And we sit around and we say, "What happened? Where did it come from?"You know, one of the great examples of what I'm talking about was at the Battle of Gettysburg. Union Cavalry General J.N.L. Buford. One of the reasons why Lee stumbled into Gettysburg was because his cavalry commander, Jeff Stewart, was out there running around all over Pennsylvania, not doing what a cavalry commander is supposed to do.
