TABLE OF CONTENTS to RADICAL NATION: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' Dangerous
Plan to Take Away Your Freedoms by Sean Spicer
1. The Most Progressive President in History
Who is Joe Biden? He has always sidestepped key questions about his plans
for America. The mainstream media has covered up evidence of his complicity
in the Hunter Biden scandal. Is Biden compromised? What does China know
about Joe Biden that the American people need to know? Who is the real Joe
Biden? How will his policies affect our way of life and our national
security?
In Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War (2014), Robert Gates assessed Biden
as a decent man who would help anyone with a personal problem. “Still,”
Gates concludes, “I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign
policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” During one
Situation Room meeting with President Obama’s national security team, Gates
agreed with something Biden said. Joint Chiefs chairman Mike Mullen later
pointed out to Gates, “You know you agreed with the vice president today?”
Gates replied, “I realize that—therefore I’m rethinking my position.” (page
288).
This chapter will examine Joe Biden’s life, his policies, and the extreme
Progressives he has brought into his orbit—and it will reveal what we can
expect from a Biden presidency.
2. The “Inauthentic Self” of Kamala Harris
Who is Kamala Harris? The media tried to define her as a pragmatic
moderate, but GovTrack, a nonpartisan website, analyzed her voting record
and concluded that she is the most far-left, socialist-leaning legislator
of all 100 senators. She refuses to answer questions about radical
Progressive plans for packing the Supreme Court and packing the Senate by
adding two new blue states, Puerto Rico and D.C. Given Joe Biden’s age and
health questions, Harris stands a better-than-even chance of becoming
president and imposing her radical agenda on the nation.
It’s hard to know who the real Kamala Harris is because—as Gil Duran,
communications director for Harris in 2013, observed—she is always “trying
to project an inauthentic self.”
This chapter examines Kamala Harris, her often-contradictory stands on
various issues, her extreme positions as a Senator and candidate, and what
she is likely to do if she becomes president of the United States.
3. Team Biden
This chapter examines Joe Biden’s cabinet picks, which serve as a road map
to the Biden-Harris agenda for America. Biden’s choices have been shaped by
the Progressive obsession with a superficial appearance of “diversity”—a
cabinet that “looks like America,” a “cabinet of barrier-breakers,” a
“cabinet of firsts.” The Progressive concept of “diversity” is solely about
skin color and sexual preference, not diversity of viewpoint, values, or
convictions. It’s a cynical exercise in quotas, bragging rights, and virtue
signaling.
Each cabinet member will be succinctly profiled in a page or less. Here are
a few of the people this chapter will examine:
Biden selected former Obama White House chief of staff Denis McDonough as
Secretary of Veterans Affairs. McDonough has no medical background, has
never served in the military, and has no discernible experience working
with veterans or VSOs (veterans service organizations). What qualifies him
to run an unwieldy bureaucracy that is historically unresponsive to the
needs of veterans? The only other non-veteran to have served as VA
secretary is David Shulkin, appointed by Donald Trump—but he was a medical
doctor who had worked at the VA and who understood healthcare delivery and
the medical needs of our veterans. What does McDonough bring to the table?
Nothing but a likely return to the sad neglect of the Obama-era VA.
For Secretary of Health and Human Services, Biden chose California attorney
general Xavier Becerra, a proponent of “Medicare for all” and a radical
advocate for unrestricted abortion. According to OnTheIssues.org, as a
congressman from 2003 to 2017, Becerra voted to expand human embryonic stem
cell research, fund abortions through foreign aid, and permit unrestricted
interstate transport of minors to get abortions. He opposed banning
partial-birth abortion and opposed criminalizing harming a fetus during the
commission of another crime. His voting record is rated 100 percent by the
National Abortion Rights Action League. This pro-abortion radical will be
in charge of the largest budget of any government department—more than 2
trillion dollars in FY 2021. Senator Steve Daines of Montana said, “Xavier
Becerra . . . has made his career aggressively pursuing a radical
pro-abortion agenda and attacking the religious freedom of Americans who
believe in the sanctity of human life.”
As California attorney general, Becerra was a defendant in National
Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra. In that case, Becerra
defended California's FACT Act, which mandated that Christian crisis
pregnancy centers advertise state abortion services on their premises, in
violation of their First Amendment rights. The United States Supreme Court,
in a narrow 5-4 decision, ruled in favor of the Christian crisis pregnancy
centers. Expect Becerra’s HHS to pursue a pattern of restricting free
speech and religious freedom in favor of promoting abortion.
Biden chose Pete Buttigieg as Transportation Secretary. Currently 38 years
old, Buttigieg was mayor of South Bend, Indiana, from 2012 to 2020. To be
fair, South Bend (a city of 100,000 people) has a strong mayor system of
government, so “Mayor Pete” does have hands-on managerial experience. But
it’s quite a leap from overseeing the bus fleet of the South Bend Public
Transportation Corporation to overseeing the United States Department of
Transportation (DOT). The various administrations of DOT oversee aviation,
railroads, highways, mass transit, shipping, pipelines, hazardous materials
transport, seaways, public safety, and our national defense infrastructure.
Was Buttigieg selected for his depth of knowledge and experience managing
transportation systems? No. Judging from Biden’s and Buttigieg’s own
statements, it would seem “Mayor Pete” was chosen so that Biden could check
the “LGBTQ” box on his cabinet list. Biden said, “Our cabinet doesn’t have
just one first, or just two of these firsts, but eight precedent-busting
appointments. And today a ninth—the first openly gay nominee to lead a
cabinet department and one of the youngest cabinet members ever.” In
response, Buttigieg thanked Biden “for honoring your commitment to
diversity.”
Biden selected Connecticut’s commissioner of education Miguel Cardona to
lead the Department of Education. Cardona’s ideas on education are radical
and dangerous. He recently implemented mandatory critical race theory
courses for Connecticut high schoolers—and he plans to implement these same
destructive courses in schools across America.
Cardona has promised a plan with an “ambitious but do-able goal of safely
opening a majority of our schools by the end of our first 100 days.” For
some reason it will take Joe Biden and Miguel Cardona 100 days to figure
out how to do what private and parochial schools have already been doing
for months. (It will probably take 100 days just to check off all the items
on the teachers’ union wish list.)
This chapter will go down the roster, with clear, fair, incisive
descriptions of the statements and résumés of Biden’s cabinet choices. Some
of Biden’s picks, such as retired four-star Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III as
Secretary of Defense, are fairly sound. Others spell trouble ahead for our
republic. This chapter will be the scorecard for Team Biden.
4. End of a Miracle: The Biden Post-Pandemic Economy
The American economy under Biden-Harris is our No. 1 concern. The
Democratic Party is in denial about how to engineer an economic recovery.
Blinded by wrong-headed notions of “equity,” identity politics, income
redistribution, punishing achievement, rewarding failure, the “Green New
Deal,” and failed Keynesian economic theory, the Biden-Harris
administration fiscal plan will bankrupt America and harm American
families.
Expect tax increases on households and corporations, more regulations on
struggling small businesses, and an effort to move America toward
socialized medicine and “Medicare for all.” This chapter examines the
leftist/socialist strategy of throwing money at people to dis-incentivize
work and keep people (especially minorities and the poor) dependent on
socialist Big Government programs. Biden and Harris plan to vastly expand
the welfare state through new entitlements, bailouts of bankrupt blue
states, and huge concessions to public employee unions.
The national debt already tops an unsustainable $27 trillion. The
Biden-Harris plan to further expand the welfare state threatens our
domestic stability and national security. As Admiral Mike Mullen, former
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has said, “The most significant
threat to our national security is our debt.”
This chapter will feature ways grassroots Americans can fight to continue
the Trump economic miracle that was derailed by the COVID pandemic and
denied by the election of Biden-Harris.
5. The Progressive Assault on Religious Liberty
This chapter will briefly list President Trump’s many accomplishments on
behalf of First Amendment religious freedom, from the 2017 Executive Order
Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty to his support of Colorado
baker Jack Phillips’s right to refuse to make wedding cake that violate his
religious convictions to supporting the Pain-Capable Unborn Child
Protection Act, and so much more.
The Biden-Harris administration will hit the ground running, seeking to
undo all the religious protections the Trump administration has put in
place. This chapter will look at the specific restrictions on liberty Joe
Biden and his allies plan to impose on people of faith in America— and what
grassroots Americans can do about it.
6. Threats to Global and National Security
With a focus on growing threats from China, Iran, the Middle East, North
Korea, and Russia, this chapter examines Trump administration
accomplishments—and the Biden-Harris plan to roll back those
accomplishments, weaken our military, and invite our enemies to test a weak
and wrong-headed White House.
At a May 2019 campaign rally in Iowa City, Joe Biden dismissed concerns
that China is surpassing the U.S. as a world superpower. “China is going to
eat our lunch?” he said. “Come on, man! I mean, you know, they’re not bad
folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us.” The Chinese
Communist leaders, with their militarism, slave labor camps, oppression of
Hong Kong, and deliberate global spread of COVID-19 are “not bad folks”? It
is incredibly dangerous for an American president to be this naïve about
the intentions and capabilities of Communist China.
Biden plans to revive the Obama-era nuclear deal that would permit Iran to
possess nuclear weapons within a decade. In 2015, the Iranians
out-negotiated Obama’s team and won relief from U.S. and international
sanctions, without being deterred from their strategic objectives. Those
objectives include the destruction of Israel by any means necessary,
including nuclear war. The deal’s sunset provisions remove restrictions on
Iran’s nuclear ambitions and pave the way for Tehran to become a legitimate
nuclear power.
Will a Biden-Harris administration build on the amazing progress Donald
Trump has made in the Middle East—or scuttle the Trump legacy and appease
Iran? Will Biden continue the Trump policy of making NATO nations pay for
their own defense—or return to making American taxpayers foot the bill?
7. The Radical Education-Indoctrination Agenda
The Biden-Harris-Progressive agenda for American education spells disaster
for generations to come. That agenda has been largely written and shaped by
the teachers’ unions, whose sole focus is soaking up taxpayer dollars, not
educating and caring for our children. The webpage on Biden’s education
page at JoeBiden.com/education reads like a teachers’ union press release:
“We have witnessed educators around the country—in states from West
Virginia to Arizona to Kentucky—heroically organize walk-outs and other
actions.”
Another plank in the Biden education platform: “Defeat the National Rifle
Association—again—in order to make our schools safer. . . . Biden knows
that arming teachers isn’t the answer; instead, we need rational gun laws.”
America already has rational gun laws, but Progressive politicians won’t
enforce them. Instead, they empty the prisons, turn dangerous people loose
on society, and hamstring and defund the police.
On February 14, 2018, a student gunman killed 17 fellow students at Marjory
Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Andrew Pollack, whose
daughter Meadow was killed in the attack, called it “the most avoidable
mass murder in American history.” Despite a violent past, the killer was
able to commit mass murder because of a lenient diversionary program that
shielded potentially dangerous students from the criminal justice system.
That diversionary program was the result of a 2014 Obama administration
directive that was rescinded by the Trump administration after the Parkland
killings. The Biden-Harris administration plans to restore such programs in
the name of “social justice.”
Expect Progressives in the Biden-Harris education establishment to double
down on the teaching of dangerous ideologies such as critical race theory,
along with revisionist history from the New York Times’ corrosively
anti-American 1619 Project.
American universities have become training grounds for violent radicals,
including Antifa and Black Lives Matter. The rise of the “woke culture” and
“cancel culture,” and the rising hatred toward the Constitution, American
history, the Founding Fathers, and our First Amendment freedoms can all be
traced to radical indoctrination in institutions of higher learning.
Meanwhile, employers complain that universities are churning out people
with no competency in oral and written communication, math, or logic. In
short, universities are dumbing down our young people and leaving them
embittered toward America.
Why are tuition costs are rising much faster than the cost of living?
Because the more taxpayer money the government pumps into student grants
and loans, the more steeply these institutions hike tuitions—which drives
students deeper into debt. The Progressive “answer” to the crisis they have
engineered is “student loan forgiveness.” The universities will continue
indoctrinating our students, the lending institutions will get paid—but the
taxpayer will be stuck with the bill for “student loan forgiveness.”
8. The Green Raw Deal
This chapter will deal with the Biden-Harris agenda to solve “global
warming” by bankrupting businesses and crippling the economy.
In May 2019, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti,
admitted that the Green New Deal was not devised as a solution to climate
change, but as an agenda for a socialist takeover of the American economy.
According to the Washington Post, Chakrabarti told Sam Ricketts, climate
director for Washington governor Jay Inslee, “The interesting thing about
the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all.”
This chapter delves into the truth about climate change, the Green New
Deal, the Biden-Harris climate agenda, and what grassroots Americans can do
to stand up against it.
9. The Open Borders Agenda
President Trump made enormous strides in securing the border, completing
265 miles of border wall (despite fierce Democratic opposition), protecting
American workers from foreign worker admissions, suspending travel from
nations where COVID-19 was rampant, cracking down on “birth tourism,”
enforcing the “safe third country” asylum rule, enforcing the legal
responsibilities of immigrant sponsors, cracking down on “catch and
release,” and much more. After deploying 5,200 troops to the U.S.-Mexico
border in October 2018, the Border Patrol reported a steep decline in the
number of encounters with illegal immigrants.
Acting Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner Mark Morgan told me,
“[President Trump] has understood the problem, he’s listened to the experts
who risk their lives every single day on the front lines protecting this
country, and he’s given us the tools, policies, and initiatives to address
the threat, to address the crisis. . . . He’s given us Title 42, that
allows us to apprehend and return people right at the border within two
hours. That is what is been successful.”
The Biden-Harris administration will take us back to the bad old days when
illegal immigrants crossed the border in droves, sanctuary cities sheltered
criminals, Americans lost jobs, and taxpayers shouldered skyrocketing
social services costs so that Democrats could expand their base.
The Democrats’ open border strategy is exemplified by Biden choice of
Alejandro Mayorkas to head the Department of Homeland Security. According
to a DHS inspector general report, Mayorkas facilitated the improper
issuance of EB-5 visas for wealthy immigrants from Communist China, acting
at the behest of powerful Democrats—Ed Rendell, Harry Reid, Hillary
Clinton's brother Anthony Rodham, and Terry McAuliffe. The EB-5 visa
program grew rapidly in the Obama years as China worked hard to infiltrate
the U.S. economy with Chinese money. As Senator Tom Cotton observed, this
visa scandal is “disqualifying” for Mayorkas to lead DHS. But Biden wants
Mayorkas on his team because Mayorkas is on board with the Biden-Harris
open border plan.
10. Defunding Our Defenders
After the May 26, 2020, death of George Floyd, waves of protests,
punctuated by violence and looting, spread across the nation. With
agitation by the radical movements Black Lives Matter and Antifa, these
protests gave rise to the “Defund the Police” movement, bent on abolishing
police organizations and prisons. Many in the media could not believe the
protestors literally wanted to abolish the police. But when interviewed,
the radicals repeatedly insisted that’s exactly what they wanted.
The notion of abolishing the police goes back to Black Reconstruction
(1935) by W. E. B. Du Bois and 1960s Communist activist Angela Davis. The
abolition of the police is a serious goal of American radicals. Progressive
policymakers in New York, L.A., San Francisco, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington, and Minneapolis have already adopted dangerous defunding
measures.
This chapter will examine race relations, the decay of our inner cities,
the sources of civil unrest, the consequences of the anti-police and
reparations movements, the rise of Antifa and other anarchist movements,
the siege of the suburbs, and the imperiled Second Amendment. Most
important, it will show the reader how to get involved and make a
difference.
11. An Assault on the Court and the Constitution
This chapter exposes the Progressive plan to reshape America by radically
restructuring the court system, especially the United States Supreme Court.
For example, Dana Remus, Biden's pick to serve as White House counsel,
recently asked Democratic senators to recommend candidates for judicial
nominations and to prioritize candidates who had served as public defenders
and civil rights lawyers—left-wing activists who will enforce Progressive
ideology, not the law.
12. Truth on the Scaffold: The American Media Disgrace
Every media outlet from the New York Times to the Washington Post to the
alphabet networks colluded in a total news blackout on the Hunter Biden
scandal prior to the election. It was one of the biggest news stories in
American political history. Hunter Biden’s emails suggested that his
father, the sitting vice president, might have been skimming millions from
Hunter’s corrupt business dealings in Communist China and Ukraine. If you
didn’t read the New York Post or watch Fox News or NewsMaxTV, you probably
never heard of the scandal.
Two honorable liberal journalists—Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone and Glenn
Greenwald of The Intercept—were shocked and dismayed that their media
colleagues were covering up the scandal. When Glenn Greenwald wrote an
article on the Hunter Biden scandal for The Intercept, his editors censored
it. Greenwald resigned in disgust from The Intercept—a news organization he
had co-founded, but which had been taken over by “woke” radical
journalists. Matt Taibbi responded, “The American left has lost its mind.”
The news media will not ask Joe Biden any tough questions and will not tell
the truth about Biden’s possible involvement in Hunter Biden’s corrupt
schemes in Ukraine and China. For the first time in the history of American
politics, the entire media establishment has decided that its primary
responsibility is not to uncover the truth but to suppress it.
A prime example of the current corrupt state of the media was the
questioning of candidate Joe Biden at a September 2020 press conference. It
was an embarrassing softball game without a single challenging question
about Biden’s policies, his gaffes, his age, or the Hunter Biden scandal.
The pro-Joe bias in the room was so blatant that even liberal media critics
cried foul.
Because Biden rarely took questions from the press during the campaign,
reporters should have been eager to seek meaningful policy-related answers.
Instead, the media focused on attacking Trump, primarily over a disputed
story in The Atlantic claiming Trump had disparaged fallen WWI soldiers
while in France in 2018. Knowing Mr. Trump, I can tell you the claims in
that story are completely out-of-character and wildly unbelievable.
Atlantic staff writer Edward-Isaac Dovere cited the story and asked, “When
you hear these remarks—'suckers,’ ‘losers,’ recoiling from amputees, what
does it tell you about President Trump's soul and the life he leads?” CNN’s
MJ Lee also focused on attacking Trump instead of interrogating Biden, this
time on the issue of COVID-19 and masks: “I wonder if you worry that this
kind of language that comes from the president of the United States can
deter some Americans who are tuning into him to not wear masks?” And CBS
News correspondent Ed O’Keefe lobbed an attack on Trump joking that his
supporters should vote twice, adding, “You said today is the angriest
you've been as a presidential candidate, but you said you're trying to
restrain yourself. Aren't there a lot of people out there who are
supporting you or inclined to not vote for the president, who would say why
isn't Joe Biden angrier about all of this?” These reporters were not
engaged in journalism, but in fawningly partisan PR for Joe Biden and the
DNC.
In October 2020, Biden visited an ice cream stand—one of the few times he
emerged from his basement in view of the press. Reporters had a rare
opportunity to ask him any question they wanted—so, of course, they asked
him what flavor of ice cream he was buying. His reply was carefully crafted
to avoid offending anyone: one scoop of chocolate and one scoop of vanilla.
Only one reporter, Bo Erickson of CBS, dared ask a serious question: “What
is your response to the New York Post story about your son, sir?" A visibly
annoyed Biden snapped, “I knew you’d ask it. I have no response. It’s
another smear campaign, right up your alley. Those are the questions you
always ask.” As the other reporters laughed at the only serious question of
the encounter, Biden turned and walked away.
The media aided the Biden campaign by covering up Joe Biden’s gaffes and
verbal difficulties. For example, on December 8, 2020, Joe Biden stood
before the news cameras and read an announcement from the TelePrompTer that
he was naming Xavier Becerra as Secretary of Health and Human Services—yet
those were not the words he spoke. Instead, Biden said, “For Secretary of
Health and Education [unintelligible], I nominate Xavier Bockaria. You
know— Xavier Besherra, excuse me.” He went on to talk about Becerra’s
government experience, slurring his words so badly that it was impossible
to follow what he was saying. He never did get Becerra’s name right, and he
named him to head a department (“Health and Education”) that doesn’t exist.
This is not a criticism of Joe Biden; it’s not unusual for people to
experience these kinds of problems at age 78.
The target of my criticism is the mainstream media’s conspiracy of silence
around Joe Biden’s gaffes and verbal chaos. Compare the media’s cover-up of
Biden’s verbal flubs with the howls of derision when I referred to
Australian Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull as “Mr. Trumbull” in a press
briefing. That was my mistake, and the Prime Minister was very gracious
about it, but the American press still brings it up to this day while
Biden’s gaffe disappears into a memory hole.
If “democracy dies in darkness,” as The Washington Post pompously proclaims
on its masthead, why does the American media keep pulling down the shade?
This chapter will also deal with the parallel role played by Twitter,
Facebook, and Google in squelching the Hunter Biden story and putting a
high-tech thumb on the scale to elect Biden and Harris. Tech companies run
by arrogant millennials have silenced the President of the United States,
de-platformed the conservative-friendly app Parler, and hidden conservative
sites like Human Events, Breitbart, and the Daily Caller from search engine
results. As Marco Rubio observed, “We are now living in a country where
four or five companies, unelected, unaccountable, have the monopoly power
to decide, we’re going to wipe people out, we’re going to erase them from
any digital platform.”
The American people must keep the pressure on Congress to remove Section
230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 and require social media
platforms to take responsibility for their selective and partisan
suppression of information.
13. The Future of Elections
The Progressive mantra throughout most of the Trump administration was that
Russia had hacked the 2016 election and was going to do it again
