Welcome to Chosen Generation with your host, Pastor Greg Young. But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar people, that you should chew forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light, which in time past were not a people but are now the people of God, which had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
And now, Chosen Generation, where no topic is off limits and everything is filtered through biblical glasses. And now, here's your host, Pastor Greg. And welcome to the program. Great to have you with me. Thanks so much for tuning in. I know you have a choice of where you can listen each and every day. And I thank you for keeping it tuned here to Chosen Generation Radio. Our number two. Our number two. Folks, I want to tell you right now, if you missed any parts of our number one, I encourage you to get over there.
We'll have it up for you this afternoon and you can give it a listen. Zach Voorhees, the Google whistleblower, was with us and we unpacked a lot of issues regarding big tech. And then Michael J. O'Neill, Landmark Legal Foundation, we unpacked the abortion case that was heard, the Texas heartbeat bill. And then we also, in addition to that, we unpacked a portion of the Second Amendment arguments that are taking place right now. Two very critical cases. There's another abortion case coming up out of Mississippi that's going to be heard at the Supreme Court.
We'll get to that with Michael at a later date. But folks, it's very important that we understand and we understand who and how to pray. We need to be very much in prayer. Our Second Amendment rights. My next segment, I'm going to tell you there's a huge connection with that because here in America, we have the right, uninfringed right, it's supposed to be, to keep and bear arms so that what has happened, for example, in China to Falun Gong and to the Uyghurs and to the Christians for many, many, many years. Okay, they were one of the first ones that was persecuted there.
Doesn't happen here because we have the ability to defend ourselves against a Marxist government should one fully attempt to take over our nation. My next guest is the director of Finding Courage. She was with us earlier this week. If you missed those interviews, I've got them up in podcast form the full hour joined together.
And you can listen to that. Today, we're going to talk about her story. And I want to welcome Kay Rubicek to the program. Kay, welcome. Good to have you.
Thanks for having me, Pastor Greg. First of all, I just want to say what an honor that it is to have you. You are an internationally recognized producer of nonfiction and educational content for film, television, online, digital media, music and print. You've been on NBC, Fox News, The Epoch Times, The Australian and Sunrise in Australia. You have an award winning work as your personal experience of being arrested and thrown into a basement cell in China for human rights advocacy in 2001. Who are China's Walking Dead is the name of that book.
Your family members escaped regimes in Russia, China and the former Czech Republic. It's an honor to know you. It's an honor to have met you. And I look forward to the day when we will appear at one another face to face. Oh, that would be wonderful. I look forward to that, too. Thank you.
Kay, welcome again. Let's talk about what your family, you know, because for you, this fight and this battle against communism is very, very real. It's very real. And the interesting thing, though, is that my family, they found freedom after they escaped and they didn't want to talk about the evils of communism and the terrifying experiences that they went through under the regime, these regimes of terror. So growing up, they didn't talk to us about communism. They didn't talk to us about these things.
I had to find that out myself. And my parents in law that came from former Czechoslovakia, they talked about it more because they're, you know, maybe they hadn't seen as much evil. I don't know. But, you know, my family, they just what they saw, they didn't want to repeat to anybody. You know, I guess like those who've gone through war, they feel like they've been through hell and back. They don't want their families to relive that.
Yes. And my family wanted to protect me from that. But then when I went to China myself, because I couldn't believe that they were persecuting a group like this Falun Gong, you know, for meditating, for, you know, spiritual, basic, very basic spiritual belief system there, very traditional, very traditional Chinese spiritual belief system.
I could not believe that they were doing that. And then when I came face to face with communism, and was arrested and put into a basement cell for, essentially, all I did was hold a banner. I didn't break any law. And was I naive? Even though I've been looking at human rights abuse and following things, I was naive because I didn't really know what communism was.
I didn't realize how it twisted their minds. When I was there, the police were saying to me, trying to force me, when I was arrested, they were forcing me to sign documents, which I didn't sign, saying the CIA paid for my trip, that I was forced to be there. I was paid to be there. I mean, I was a 20-year-old young manager, professional producer, and, you know, I had a good job, and I paid my own ticket, every cent of it. My family knew where I was.
And those police officers, there was, you know, more than 100 over that period of time that just came in and out. And they also, you know, they were brutal sometimes, but they also said to me, your Falun Gong is banned in every country. And I said, it's not.
I can practice in the park, at home, anytime I want. And I just come and go. And they couldn't believe me. They didn't believe me. They have been lied to.
It was astounding. And they told me, you know, I said, why was I arrested? And they said, no, no, no, you're not arrested. I said, well, let me go. But they wouldn't let me go. They wouldn't let us eat.
They wouldn't let me go to the restroom for 23 hours. And they said, you did something illegal. And I said, what was that? And they said, you know, truth, compassion, tolerance.
Those words are illegal in China. That's what they told me. And that's the three words that I had on my banner. And that took me. And then I started to understand a bit about what my parents had escaped, because they escaped that. My great grandparents escaped that in Russia. My dad was born in China. He escaped that in China. It just was, communism followed from Soviet, from Russia over to China. No one in China expected it to go there. And then it just grew from there. It went to the Czechoslovakia.
It just grew. So it's really, you know, when you look at it, it's a secular religion. And it's very, very dangerous. And yeah, the way it pushed the minds of people, basically, that's the basis of my book, Who Are China's Walking Dead, which is a companion book to the movie Finding Courage. All the interviews that didn't make it into the movie because they were just, they really show what communism does to a mind and to a country and a culture and a nation.
And I don't want that to happen here or anywhere else. Let's talk about that particular issue relative to the influence of CCP and communism here, because it seems to me, you know, people have talked about how the actions, you know, teaching hate, teaching chaos, introducing chaos into our system as has been done, especially in the last four or five years. But even before that, it was used. These are all tools, the authoritarian approach, mandates on vaccines, you know, the separation of the vaxed versus the unvaxed, the vilification of certain individuals and groups. If you are pro-American and you're white and you're Christian, it seems as though now you've been placed in a category as a domestic terrorist. These seem to me to be telling signs of a nation that is being infiltrated by communist disinformation. Would you agree with that assessment?
Absolutely. And I'm not saying that out of my own theory or even my own observation. The Communist Party, they in the USA, it was in the 1960s, it was published in numerous books. It was testified in Congress, the goal of the Communist Party to infiltrate the West. And that's what they've been carrying out.
And you can see that, you know, it may take shape in that list. It doesn't say anything about vaccine mandates or anything, because the environment, environmental situation changes and communists really know how to utilize things that happen in society. When something happens, they take advantage of that to push their cause. And their cause is to have communism destroy the traditions, which is what they've done in every other country. In Russia, they destroyed the beautiful Russian heritage and traditions of my family. Just beauty under Russia. Now you look at Russia, they don't even know what their culture is anymore.
It's a mess. Look at China, 5000 years of amazing, beautiful traditions in their country and nation, their culture destroyed under communism. And here, by targeting the different ethnic groups and treating the white males as an ethnic group and targeting them and basically divide and conquer.
That's how they do it. And they want to wipe out the traditions here and replace that with communism. And that means they destroy spirituality. We know America is founded on a belief in God. That is the fundamental part of the founding fathers.
Fundamental belief of the founding fathers. You see that in all the documents from that time period. And they want to replace that. And that's what they've done in other countries. They did that in Czechoslovakia and many other places. And it's very hard for those places to recover afterwards to replace and rebuild a tradition once it's been destroyed.
That's my biggest concern. Yes, they'll push vaccine mandates and any kind of thing to create hate and division. And one group fights the other thinking they'll win. But in the end, everyone loses.
So we have to hold true to the tradition. Well, and you mentioned the 45 goals of the Communist Party, which was entered into Congress in 1963. And of course, that came from extensive research and undercover work done by Cleon Skousen, who was a former FBI. And he came out and wrote a book and it's called The Naked Communist. And I really folks, you know, I encourage you and there's no no renumeration for Pastor Greg in this. But my goodness, folks, if you've not read The Naked Communist Exposing Communism and Restoring Freedom, this is critical.
It was updated in 2017. And I really if you want to know and why it's so critically important and you know, they mentioned in here, you mentioned the goals. 44 of the 45 goals have been achieved by the communists. You know, when I was a kid growing up, OK, well, first of all, let me let me tell you this. I was a Russian linguist during the Cold War, a United States Air Force Russian linguist. Our teachers were all Russian defectors. We were immersed in understanding the underbelly of communism. But I had grown up from the 60s and the 70s understanding that Russia and communism were the enemy of the United States.
And it blows my mind that we have now a generation that embraces Marxism as a possible answer. Back with more generation radio coming up right after this brief break.

She's the director of Finding Courage, but she is also a writer and a producer and she has written her own book about her own experience of being locked up in a basement prison cell in China. You are China's Walking Dead published in 2020. Kay, and of course your family's history of being, you know, working to escape from communism, first from Russia, then from China, then from the Czech Republic, a story that spans 1918 to 1986 research, which I assume is also found in your book.
Talk to us about that and the important message that you want folks to get out of our segment today. Yeah, you know, the book came around almost backwards compared to what I would hope for. You know, what I hope for my kids is I hope that they can get the right history and the right order, but because my family didn't want to talk about communism because of the horrors that they saw and they escaped and the ones of the freedom that they had, you know, freedom of belief, freedom of speech, freedom to just run a business and feed their family. And they didn't want to tell us about that. So when I started investigating what happened in China and then I got, you know, I got arrested and then I started, you know, wondering how is this possible? You know, my family still weren't talking about communism in a way that, you know, to explain it to me.
And I started interviewing former Chinese Communist Party officials and they told me, yeah, they told me how it works, how the whole operation works. So from there I came to realize what was going on. And then I really wanted, you know, put it all together in a book. But before I could, you know, my dad was sort of the last one in my family that had lived through the communist terror and he passed away before I could put all of my history together and be able to share that with him.
And so everything that I learned from him along the way, you know, when I really processed everything and he wasn't a talker, you know, so I really had to dig and get what I could. But I put that together into this book and what I really learned from that is our history is being rewritten. It's what the communist system does is wipe out traditions, rewrite history. And I see that happening here. And, you know, with my family having to escape communism, three countries, three generations, they found freedom.
I want to make sure my kids have a free place to go to. And if our history gets rewritten, then we lose our freedom and that's what I think is essential now is that we know, especially with a history like this nation, you know, I love America, but its foundation on the right to the principles. And that's what I think we need to maintain, get that right and not let that be rewritten. So that's really essentially my book is about what communism does to a country, a nation and a mind and the hope is that we know that now and that we love it. And not to interrupt you, but that was one of the things, you know, when you think about Nazi Germany and what they did, Goebbels said, you know, if we can capture the minds of the youth, then we can capture the heart of the country. You know, folks, this story, and I'm going to be talking next with Raymond Royo about, you know, where Christianity is and the assault on the left.
And really, I keep coming back to this, the soul of our nation is what is under assault right now. What is always unified America has been the Christian faith. And now we're told that Christianity is bad. Christians are bad. Christians have always been bad. Christians have been the oppressors.
It couldn't be, to my mind, that couldn't be further from the truth of what biblical Christianity actually is gay. Biblical Christianity, you know, Dr. Terry Law, who recently passed away in 2020, led a group of evangelists into Poland. And they ended up going actually through the Polish Catholic churches at the invitation of Pope John Paul II, and led a revival that led to Lukwolesa. Lukwolesa never would have become who he was and who he became and overthrown communism in Poland if it hadn't been for a Christian revival. And if we don't do that here in this country again, no one's going to be free. That's my issue, in my mind, of what true biblical Christianity will do. Kay Rubicek is our guest again. Kay, thanks for being here again with me, and I look forward to having you back again.
