What kind of statues do you think these vandals and these civil authorities who want to remove them, what kind of statues do you think they would want to erect as they've torn these historic American statues down? Probably of the very people you just talked about.

I'm so glad you're hitting on that. How could we dare teach evolutionary theory by Charles Darwin in our schools that makes black people seem like they're just animals that haven't evolved yet to human beings, that even he talked about in his own writings, that at some point the civilized man will rise up and extinguish them from the earth and the Margaret Sangers who called them human weeds and yet a Planned Parenthood is in every black neighborhood in America. Why don't we go tear those buildings out? And I'm not recommending we do, but I'm saying if they want to have rebellion against something that has hurt the black people, they're hitting the wrong targets.

Here's the reality, too. You don't ever want to remove your history, whether it was good or bad, because you want to remember the past. Either way, it's either a history to remember to, oh, we've got to keep doing that or we shouldn't do that. I mean, in Germany, the Holocaust, they didn't tear down all those Auschwitz and all that. They're still there because they want people to come see this is what happens when government gets total control.

And they want to keep those there to keep reminding people. So even the statues of some of these people, their whole life was slavery, which I don't think any of these people it was. Then you remember that, you go, you know what, there was a time in America where we thought that was okay, but it wasn't. But look, we've changed now to understand all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, all people. And our founding document, the very founding one that's the fabric of America, the Declaration of Independence, stated that. And again, they had started this country when they've already had corruption of slavery going. That should be a lesson to all of us. Don't ever start with the first little sin because it keeps growing and then it makes it harder to turn back, harder to come up with a solution to the problem. And that's what we see from this.
