- Heil Hitler! - Heil Hitler!

DINESH D'SOUZA: When I was a boy,

I was fascinated with the world.

I wondered why nations live

and nations die.

How do you kill a nation?

Like Germany-- it destroyed several other nations

before being destroyed itself at the end of World War II.

Even powerful empires perish.

Where's the Roman Empire today?

Or the Soviet Union?

Nations can be destroyed from the outside,

by invasion and conquest,

or they implode from within,

by losing what makes them distinctive.

I wonder if that could ever happen to America.

When I first came to America as a 17-year-old,

I knew I was coming to a special place.

I didn't know much about the Constitution,

the Bill of Rights, any of that.

I liked it here because I liked the people.

I saw Americans as independent,

hardworking, self-reliant.

Americans are fiercely individualistic,

but they're also fiercely attached to family and faith,

to community and to country.

That's what the national anthem symbolizes-- and the flag--

that we 're one country and we 're in this together.

This is the America I know and love.

But can it last?

PROTESTERS: America was never great!

- Slavery, genocide and war! - D'SOUZA: There are those

in America who want to end the America we love.

They believe America is defined by class oppression...

- Tear it down! Tear it down! -...and white supremacy.

They want, in Obama's phrase,

to remake America.

For this to happen, America as we know it must die.

Who will stop them?

Wow, what a crowd!

REPORTER: Billionaire Donald Trump is hitting

the presidential campaign trail.

Yep, he says he may run for president.

Do it. D-Do it.

L-Look at me. Do it!

Ann, which Republican candidate has the best chance

of winning the general election?

Of the declared ones, right now, Donald Trump.

He might be leading the Republican ticket.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Next...

I know you don't believe that, but I want to go onto...

There's not gonna be a President Donald Trump.

Um... that's not gonna happen.

Donald Trump is not going to be president of the United States.

- Take it to the bank. I guarantee it. -Okay.

All right, all right.

Well, @realDonaldTrump, at least I will go down

as a president.

D'SOUZA: Everyone had a good laugh at Trump

-but not the American people. - USA! USA!

REPORTER: 20,000 people turned out last night

at a football stadium in Mobile, Alabama,

to hear Republican front-runner Donald Trump.

Man, I feel like a billionaire already.

Show 'em how many people come to these rallies!

Turn 'em! Go ahead, turn 'em!

Go ahead!

D'SOUZA: Trump and his voters had a bond.

We have a movement like they've never seen before.

So, right now, we have... Hillary's about a 75%

or an 80% favorite.

- We have different versions of forecast. -That high?

Is it fun to be at a Trump rally?!

I mean, is this the greatest?!

He's just not gonna win the general election in this mode.

Not even close.

The hell we can't.

D'SOUZA: They believed Trump would fight for their America.

Such a nasty woman.

D'SOUZA: So they stayed with him,

and it drove the left nuts.

REPORTER: Chaos in the streets

at a Donald Trump rally.

If you can get 'em out, get 'em out.

None of us thought we were gonna be here.

But we are.

D'SOUZA: Especially her.

Why aren't I 50 points ahead, you might ask.

D'SOUZA: Trump and his supporters were in it together.

I am your voice.

I am with you.

I will fight for you.

And I will win for you.

We will make

America strong again.

We will make

America proud again.

We will make

America safe again.

And we will make America great again!

God bless you,

and good night!

I love you!

D'SOUZA: To be honest, I didn't think Trump would win.

Hillary had total control of the Democratic machine,

her foot on Sanders' throat,

a sycophantic Hollywood and media.

How do you fight against all that?

ANNOUNCER: From NBC News, "Decision Night in America."

First and foremost, it's finally here.

Here at the Javits Center,

which is Hillary Clinton's election party site.

There's a sense of building excitement,

and I mean building excitement.

No, this is conservatives waking up

and smelling the coffee and go,

"Oh, right, our candidate was a moron."

ANCHOR: And we have our first projection

that Donald Trump will win in Kentucky.

Okay, have Kentucky. Who cares?

-It's small, it's small. - CROWD: Donald Trump!

- But he is winning. - Donald Trump!

Her lead beginning to go down a little bit but still holding,

so that's good news.

WOLF BLITZER: Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming.

Trump, we project, will win Texas.

(over P.A.): ...Texas with all of its 38 electoral votes.

Anderson, this night is turning out to be a real nail-biter.

Donald Trump is leading Hillary Clinton

among white women in Ohio,

North Carolina, Georgia and Virginia.

Does that surprise you?

You should be nervous. This is not kidding around anymore.

BLITZER: Louisiana, Montana, Missouri,

- Ohio... - Are you (bleep) me?

Corning into the day, you had your projection

above 70% for Hillary Clinton.

Where is it right now?

But the crowd now much more subdued here

-this evening... - BLITZER: Donald Trump

will carry the state of Florida.

All right, we have another major projection right now,

that Donald Trump will carry the state of North Carolina.

Oh, wow.

Can-can we go back to Michigan?

'Cause I'm not sure I saw it correctly.

Was that a-a...

Uh, Huffington Post,

what happened to your (bleep) 98.4%?

CNN now projects that Donald Trump

will carry the state of Wisconsin.

He's cracked the so-called blue wall.

You pathetic losers!

Winning Pennsylvania!

Pennsylvania!

Some big news here, Megan. Huge news, actually.

The AP now projecting that Donald Trump

has won the state of Pennsylvania.

Uh, Pennsylvania was called for Donald Trump.

It's over. Okay.

BLITZER: CNN projects,

Donald Trump wins the presidency.

CROWD: USA! USA! USA!

D'SOUZA: I was happy he won.

My film, Hillary's America,

an expose' of Hillary and the Democratic Party,

played a role.

But Trump made it happen.

And when he won,

that fact did not sit well with the left.

You're awake, by the way.

You're not having a terrible, terrible dream.

Also, you're not dead, and you haven't gone to hell.

This is your life now. This is our election now.

This is us. This is our country.

It's real.

Everybody is crying and so upset.

Scared, depressed, despair.

America is crying tonight.

She deserves to be the first female president,

and that's what makes me so sad.

Sorry, I hate (bleep) crying on camera, but...

Get your abortions now.

This sucks!

People I'm speaking to think it's absolutely catastrophic.

ANCHOR: Boastful, bullying, coarse, crude--

that's the way they're gonna see America, so...

- ANCHOR 2: Ugly Americans, right? -Ugly Americans.

From slavery to, you know, Nazism...

We are not gonna be okay.

Feels like the end of the world.

There are demonstrations in major American cities

across the country tonight over the election of Donald Trump.

D'SOUZA: Again, the left turned to violence.

MAN: Yeah

Yeah!

ls there a doomsday plan?

We're gonna...

We're gonna go after him in every conceivable way.

ATrump presidency is unthinkable and dangerous

and damaging, so, basically, anything we do to stop that

is perfectly fine. Whether it's ethical or not,

whether it's legal or not, it doesn't matter.

D'SOUZA: The political left

immediately set out to reverse the election results

with a sequence of strategies.

REPORTER: Today, Jill Stein of the Green Party called

for recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

D'SOUZA: That recount actually increased Trump's lead.

Thank you. Thank you, darling.

D'SOUZA: There were countless stories of Trump

losing the popular vote.

Donald Trump won fair and square.

How did he win fair and square?

Hillary had more votes.

D'SOUZA: And they tried this.

Republican members of the electoral college,

this message is for you.

D'SOUZA: Maybe they could convince

Trump electors not to vote for him.

ANCHOR: I'm going to talk to an electoral college voter next

who says it's gone as far as death threats.

The votes are ten votes, Donald J. Trump.

- WOMAN: You sold out our country!

You sold out our country!

Every one of you, you're pathetic!

- You don't deserve to be in America! -Shame! Shame!

Shame on you! Shame on you!

D'SOUZA: Yes, shame on the American people

for voting for Trump.

Shame on you.

Tens of millions of Americans

are totally fine with a man who's driven almost purely

by racism and sexism and lslamophobia.

I genuinely do not understand

how America can be this disorganized

or this hateful.

I have no respect for women who voted for Trump. Okay?

I just think you're dumb. Okay?

I think you're (bleep) dumb.

D'SOUZA: How do you think people are going to vote

if you talk to them that way?

ANNOUNCER: The vice president of the United States,

Michael R. Pence.

D'SOUZA: More than 50 House Democrats

boycotted the inauguration of President Trump.

Although the left did show up...

-to riot. - WOMAN: What Antifa is.

This is what the anti-Trump movement is.

It is total anarchy in the streets right now.

JOHN ROBERTS: ...preserve, protect and defend...

DONALD TRUMP: ...preserve, protect and defend...

ROBERTS: ...the Constitution of the United States...

...the Constitution of the United States...

-...so help me God. -...so help me God.

Congratulations, Mr. President.

Yeah!

No...!...!

D'SOUZA: The left couldn't keep him from being sworn in

as president of the United States,

so they turned to impeachment.

Next week, there will be a vote to impeach.

It's obviously a-a... It's no small matter

when we're talking about impeaching

the president of the United States.

You could write it down in stone.

He will not finish his first term.

The Democrats will take over, and they can launch impeachment

in 2019 without a single Republican vote.

Robert Mueller's Russia probe will eventually reveal

misdeeds that are impeachment-worthy.

Everyone is colluding with Russia, except Trump.

Here's Donald Trump. Donald.

D'SOUZA: Maybe the sexual harassment stuff

would finally stick.

But we knew we weren't electing a choirboy.

TUCKER CARLSON: There's a new report alleging

that Lisa Bloom solicited funds to pay off women

who would then accuse the president of sexual assault.

D'SOUZA: How about the 25th Amendment?

Because, you know, Trump is crazy.

ABBY HUNTSMAN: The amendment says the president

can be removed if majority of the cabinet determines

that he is unfit.

This is a dangerously, emotionally

and-and mentally unstable individual here.

D'SOUZA: All this may seem unprecedented,

but we've been here before.

In 1860, America elected the first Republican president.

Then, too, Democrats viciously attacked him.

They called him an extremist and an authoritarian.

Some sought to break up the country

rather than accept his election.

Lincoln saved America for the first time.

And now, by tragic necessity,

Trump is in a similar situation.

What will the Democrats try this time?

Look at this Hitler speech. And we've translated it

for you.

"Thank you. Thank you.

We're going to make Germany great again."

90% of what he says, I'm like, "This guy gets it."

He's going to take our economy from here to here.

Yeah, he's definitely taking it to a higher level.

I'd say his support is about, uh... about up there.

Right around here.

Donald Trump is flirting with fascism, American-style.

There's a word for this, Ashley. It's "fascism."

D'SOUZA: And they don't just call him a fascist.

Do you think President Trump is a racist?

I think he is a racist.

This was a white-lash against a changing country.

The president is "a white supremacist"

and that his rise is "a direct result of white supremacy."

D'SOUZA: There it is, racism and fascism.

And we've heard it before.

These incendiary accusations

have been used for a generation to shame and smear

Republicans, conservatives,

Christians and patriots.

Is voting for Trump like voting for Hitler?

Did Trump win because of fascism and white supremacy?

Did he revive the worst strains of America 's history of racism?

Wouldn't that justify the left

in rejecting the results of the election?

But if they're wrong, if America is good,

aren't we morally obligated to defend her?

The stakes could not be higher.

We're talking about the fate of the greatest nation on Earth.

Who are the real fascists?

Who are the real racists?

We must learn the truth.

For progressives today,

fascism is on the right,

a philosophy of nationalism and authoritarianism.

They call Trump a fascist because he's a nationalist.

But so was my countryman, Gandhi.

So was Mandela and Winston Churchill.

Lincoln was a nationalist.

Were these men fascists?

We've had authoritarian leaders since the beginning of time,

but few were fascists.

Look, Trump gets flayed in the media every day.

Real authoritarians would have shut that down.

So authoritarianism and nationalism

don't exhaust the meaning of fascism.

To go deeper, I sat down with progressive historian

Robert Paxton,

former head of Columbia University's

history department.

Paxton is no fan of Donald Trump.

We have a group in America today, Antifa...

...which fashions itself

anti-fascist.

- Yes. -It drive speakers off the campus.

Outwardly, it seems like there is some resemblance

to Mussolini's Blackshirts.

And the mission appears the same.

In other words, to enforce a kind of ideological conformity

by roughing up your opposition.

Do you see a parallel between Antifa

and the fascists that they claim to be fighting?

I think there's some tactical overlap.

As soon as you start, uh,

wearing a uniform and beating people up,

you're obviously in fascist territory.

Now, does fascism matter today?

- Yes. - Some people have said

we are living through a fascist moment,

or a fascist strain, in American politics.

Are you worried that that's true?

The fascist label seems to me to overlook

two very important differences.

One is that fascist regimes

did not want a free economy.

They had a regulated economy,

and they had what was called corporatism,

uh, the... and all the business enterprises

were required to participate in five-year plans,

and that is the opposite of what's going on.

So the principles of the American founding--

the separation of state and society,

- Mm-hmm. - limited government,

- Yes. - Individual rights,

property rights, free markets--

would you agree that this is what the fascists hated?

The fascists, and a lot of other people,

believed that these things had failed,

and they were... they, uh, were determined to propose

an alternative that would revive their country.

NEWSREEL NARRATOR: Dateline Rome.

October 31, 1922.

Italy was a sitting duck for an ex-Communist

named Benito Mussolini.

The lantern-jawed founder of fascism

took advantage of the political unrest in Italy

after World War I.

Mussolini directed a march on Rome.

The next step was complete dictatorial control,

a step which the Italian Blackshirt leader

took without a second thought.

D'SOUZA: When Mussolini started out,

he was a Marxist.

- He was a socialist. - Yes.

He was the editor of the socialist newspaper.

- Yes. - He had a long background

in socialist politics, right?

Right, right. Exactly.

Mussolini allied himself

with an intellectual,

- Giovanni Gentile. - Yes.

D'SOUZA: Gentile famously said,

"Everything in the state, and nothing outside the state."

- Yes. -Which Mussolini himself later repeated.

How would you interpret this doctrine

of sort of centralized state power?

Mussolini, uh, and the people who rallied to his cause--

and this included some highly educated people

like Giovanni Gentile--

they were absolutely determined

to make Italy strong, and it would come about

by a central authority

and direction, and I think that the state,

uh, was the instrument by which they thought

that, uh, Italy would be regenerated.

And loyalty to the state is the vehicle

-to mobilize that inner soul, right? -Yes.

D'SOUZA: Mussolini was responding

to what historians called the Crisis of Marxism.

Marx predicted that worker revolts would erupt

in every industrialized country.

But this never took place.

Marx thought workers around the world

would identify with each other

on the basis of class.

He rejected nationalism,

saying a working man has no country.

But Gentile, though himself a socialist,

noticed that during World War I

working men fought for their own country.

Mussolini and Gentile concluded

that a new type of socialism was needed

that would fuse nationalism and socialism.

They called it "fascism."

And this is why socialists and progressives in America,

many of whom had given up on orthodox Marxism,

were drawn to fascism.

FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT: In the working out

of a great national program

that seeks the primary good of the greater number...

D'SOUZA: Our new president at the time,

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, was infatuated

by Mussolini.

He called him "that admirable Italian gentleman."

"I am much interested and deeply impressed

"by what he has accomplished and by his evidenced

honest purpose in restoring Italy."

Mussolini reviewed FDR's book in an Italian magazine.

His conclusion: "FDR is one of us.

He's a fascist."

FDR dispatched members of his brain trust to Rome

to study Italian fascism

with a view to importing some of it here.

Rexford Tugwell, one of FDR's closest advisors,

after returning from Italy, observed:

"Fascism is the cleanest, neatest,

"most efficient piece of social machinery

"I've ever seen.

It makes me envious."

The head of FDR's NRA, or National Recovery Act,

Hugh Johnson, spoke of

the "shining example of Mussolini, "

he carried fascist literature in his pocket, and he called

for the end of free-market capitalism in America.

He empowered industrial committees in every industry

to set wages and prices

and report to the federal government.

Clearly, FDR recognized fascism was on the left.

He saw it as more progressive than the New Deal.

Mussolini was clearly a man of the left.

But what about the ultimate fascist of them all,

Adolf Hitler?

Was he a man of the left?

To figure this out, we must go to Europe.

Hitler, like Mussolini, was a veteran

of World War I.

His politics were formed

here in Schwabing, in the atmosphere

of bohemianism and sectarian socialism.

The Communist Lenin lived here in exile.

Hitler and Lenin both frequented the same pub.

Lenin famously didn't pay his bar tab.

Imagine Lenin sitting here arguing with friends

on how to save Communism.

Lenin lived just a block up the street.

Hitler lived a block over.

Hitler changed the name of the German Workers' Party

to the National Socialist German Workers' Party.

The very term "Nazi" is a compression of two words:

"national " and "sozialista. "

Check out the official Nazi platform:

State-controlled health care.

Profit sharing for workers in large corporations.

Money lenders and profiteers punished by death.

State control of education.

State control of media and the press.

State control of banks and industries.

Seizure of land without compensation.

State control of religious expression.

This reads like something jointly written

by Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.

Read the Nazi platform

at the Democratic National Convention,

and most likely it would provoke thunderous applause.

Like Mussolini and Lenin, Hitler was anti-big business,

anti-bourgeois and anti-capitalist.

But unlike Mussolini and Lenin, Hitler was also a racist.

His racism, too, was rooted in his hatred

of capitalism and business.

He called the Jews "greedy bankers."

Hitler set out to destroy the Jews,

confiscate their wealth and redistribute it

through Nazi socialist and welfare state programs.

Another group Hitler hated were the Communists.

Not because they were socialists,

but because they took their orders from Moscow.

His thuggery started right here at Schellingstrasse 50,

Hitler's Nazi headquarters.

Hitler saw the Communists as traitors to Germany.

He was a National Socialist,

and they were International Socialists.

He patterned his Brownshirts

both on Mussolini's Blackshirts and on the Ku Klux Klan.

The Nazi Brownshirts and the Klan

were both about the same size-- two to three million members.

Both groups targeted a vulnerable minority."

in the case of the Brownshirts, Jews;

in the case of the KKK, blacks.

And both groups were extensions of a political party:

in the case of the Brownshirts, the Nazi Party;

in the case of the Klan, the Democratic Party.

In November of 1923, Hitler and his Brownshirts

took over the Burger Brau Keller,

a popular Munich beer hall.

D'SOUZA: The following day, Hitler

and 2,000 party members marched on Munich

to seize control.

They were met by police.

Hitler was arrested and sent to Landsberg Prison,

a formative period in his life.

Here, Hitler dictated Mein Kampf

to his fellow prisoner, Rudolf Hess.

See how remote all of this is

from the principles of Abraham Lincoln

and the American founding?

Hitler, however, had a much greater affinity

for progressives and Democrats.

It was here

Hitler got a big idea from the Democratic Party,

one that would shape his murderous campaigns.

According to Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer

John Toland, Hitler often praised the extermination

of the "red savages" who could not be tamed by captivity.

Hitler admired how Jacksonian Democrats

"gunned down the millions of redskins

"to a few hundred thousand,

"and now keep the modest remnant under observation

in a cage."

His idea was to do to the Poles, the Slavs,

the Eastern Europeans and the Russians

precisely what the Jacksonian Democrats did to the Indians.

Hitler came to power in 1933.

Heil Hitler!

On the other side of the Atlantic,

another charismatic leader,

FDR, was elected.

The two men recognized each other

as fellow progressives.

Here's what the Nazi newspaper, Volkischer Beobachter,

said of the FDR administration."

"We, too, as German National Socialists,

are looking toward America."

The Nazi paper congratulated FDR

for replacing the uninhibited frenzy of market speculation

with the adoption of National Socialist

strains of thought.

Of FDR's New Deal, the Volkischer Beobachter said:

"We fear only the possibility that it might fail. "

Hitler quickly consolidated his power.

He executed leaders of the Brownshirts

who had challenged his authority.

This was the famous Night of the Long Knives.

Some progressives try to portray Hitler

as a right-winger by insisting he was anti-gay.

But Hitler knew that the Brownshirt leader, Ernst Rohm,

was a notorious homosexual, as were many other Brownshirts.

When Hitler showed up to arrest Rohm...

he encountered a remarkable scene.

Heil, mein Fuhrer!

Rohm publicly suggested that he, not Hitler,

was the true leader of the Nazi Party.

When Heinrich Himmler urged Hitler

to purge the gay Brownshirts out of the Nazi movement,

Hitler refused.

Hitler said he didn't care what the Brownshirts did in private,

as long as they were good fighters.

Hitler was no social conservative.

Earlier, we saw what Hitler learned from the Democrats.

But was there anything

he learned from American progressives?

Investigative journalist Edwin Black,

the son of Holocaust survivors, is the author

of The War Against the Weak.

Now, you have written that eugenics in America--

and this is true in other parts of Europe as well--

was a progressive CEIUSG.

Progressive in what sense?

Progressive in every sense.

This was not done by people

who thought that they were race haters.

This was done by the do-gooders,

the liberals, the people who wanted to improve society.

Margaret Sanger, a progressive who wanted to help humanity.

And her approach to doing that

was to wipe away the existence of two-thirds of all people.

You mean two-thirds of the entire American population?

- Yes, of course. - And she actually

- explicitly said this? - Of course.

She wanted to get rid of "human weeds."

She wrote about this extensively.

At one point, Hitler wrote fan mail

to one of her colleagues on her board

and said, uh, "Your writings are my bible."

Uh, this is Madison Grant,

the head of the New York Zoological Society.

Tell me about the meeting between Madison Grant

and Whitney, another prominent eugenicist.

Madison Grant is discussing his fan mail from Adolf Hitler,

and Whitney has an identical letter just like it.

And so they both have letters in which Hitler thanks them.

All these eugenicists saying,

"We have had a dramatic impact on Germany."

And you quote an American progressive eugenicist

basically saying, "Hey, whoa, we've got to pick it up.

"The Nazis are beating us

- at our own game." - That's right.

While we were pussyfooting around,

the Nazis were beating us at our own game.

Why is it the case today,

if I open a Planned Parenthood brochure,

I get a completely different picture of Margaret Sanger

than anything that you've described?

What's going on is the reshaping

and the falsifying of history.

The Nazis also invented history.

There's a role for people like me

and a role for people like you.

We spend our lives trying to authenticate the real history.

D'SOUZA: We've learned how Hitler

got his murderous conquest scheme

from the Jacksonian Democrats.

We've also learned how he got eugenics schemes

from left-wing progressives.

But what does Nazi racism owe to the Democratic Party?

I went to see the historian and sociologist Stefan Kuhl,

who has developed an international reputation

for books like The Nazi Connection.

I met with him in Munich.

What was the essence of the Nuremberg Laws?

These are the laws of 1935.

What did they seek to do?

KUHL: They actually gave, uh, the first definition

of what is a Jew.

It was not very easy for the Nazis

to define what is a Jew.

Amerika?

D'SOUZA: The Nazi Nuremberg Laws

were directly modeled on the segregation laws

of the Democratic Party.

Every segregation law in the American South

was passed by a Democratic legislature,

signed by a Democratic governor

and enforced by Democratic officials.

As for the Democratic one-drop rule,

incredibly, the Nazis found it too racist even for them.

As is well known,

the Nazis also hated freedom of speech.

The Nazi concept was called Gleichschaltung,

which means bringing all the cultural institutions in line

with Nazi ideology.

This was the significance

of the "Heil Hitler" salute

and the draping of swastika flags off balconies.

These things signaled humble conformity

to Nazi doctrine.

And what happened to dissident views

on the German campus?

- Heil Hitler! - Heil Hitler!

D'SOUZA: Movements to crush dissent

can quickly escalate from episodic violence

to mass murder.

Hitler's Night of the Broken Glass

was justified as a lawful confiscation of firearms.

This made Jews defenseless against Nazi assault.

Then Hitler could carry out his goal to burn Jewish businesses,

destroy synagogues

and eliminate Jews as a competitive threat

in the German economy.

Hitler didn't just target synagogues.

He also targeted Christian churches.

Many people don't know this,

because they've bought the progressive line

that Hitler was a Christian.

When coming to power, Hitler knew he needed

Christian support,

and so he feigned public belief in Christianity.

But privately, in a series of recordings,

Hitler railed against Christianity

as a destructive institution contrary to science

and the natural law of survival of the fittest.

Once in office, Hitler persecuted Christians.

His ultimate aim: the total destruction

of Christianity in Germany.

As a progressive, Hitler despised religious liberty.

Nazism was his religion.

With Germany the high altar

and Hitler himself the new messiah.

Hitler was no Christian.

American progressives cheered Hitler's rise to power.

They saw fascism,

with its social control and its glorification

of the centralized state,

as a model for the future.

With total control of the people in place,

Hitler could now implement his master plan.

In 1939, he invaded Poland.

Within two years, he and Mussolini controlled

continental Europe.

Japan was at war with China.

Fascism was on the march across the world.

Soon Hitler would declare war against America.

Once Hitler acquired war captives,

he saw a way to implement his own slave plantation,

which he called the "concentration camp."

Concentration camps, which were forced-labor camps,

should be distinguished from death camps, whose sole purpose

was extermination.

What was the origin of these death camps?

NARRATOR: His Minister of Interior directed a program

aimed at aged, insane or incurable Germans,

the so-called "useless eaters."

Thousands were committed to special institutions.

Few ever returned.

Evidence proves they were murdered

because they were useless to the plans

of the Nazi conspirators.

Let's turn to the Nazi euthanasia laws.

First of all, would it be accurate to say that

we aren't talking about real euthanasia?

Without consent, neither of the parents

nor of the handicapped himself, yeah.

So euthanasia was a pure euphemism, just...

Yes. It was killing. It was killing program.

They started the killing of mentally handicapped before

on a very low-scale level,

but, uh, started systematically

with the killing of mentally handicapped

after the beginning of the Second World War.

And isn't it... isn't it true to say that the...

some of the personnel

who administered the euthanasia camps

were also then later deployed

to the so-called death camps

that were used on a much larger industrial scale?

That's very clear. We have technolog...

technology transfer and the personal transfer

from the killing of mentally handicapped

to the killing of Jews.

And especially the whole staff operating

the gas chambers, for example.

D'SOUZA: Let me ask you about Josef Mengele,

the notorious Nazi doctor at Auschwitz.

When you read about him, he saw himself as...

as a progressive--

somebody advancing not only the cause of science,

but the future benefit to humanity.

KUHL: Progressive idea was

very strongly part of the Nazi ideology.

D'SOUZA: Would it surprise you if I were to tell you

that after the war Mengele went down to South America,

where he actually had a sort of career

as an abortionist?

No...!, not at all.

D'SOUZA: In classic progressive fashion,

Mengele made an easy transition

from one form of killing to another.

Once American and Allied troops

liberated the concentration camps...

...once the world saw these ghostly, emaciated,

starving figures emerge from those camps,

Nazism, fascism and theories of racial superiority

were permanently discredited.

Immediately following the war,

in the Nuremberg trials held here in room 600,

the full horror of fascist and Nazi atrocities

was put before the world.

MAN: United States of America

present count one of the indictment,

that all the defendants participated

as organizers or accomplices in a common plan

or conspiracy to commit crimes against peace,

war crimes and crimes against humanity.

D'SOUZA: Fascism became the quintessential reference point

for human evil.

MAN: ...opposition by political parties

which might defeat or obstruct

the policy of the Nazi Party.

MAN: Hermann Wilhelm Goring, on the counts of the indictment

which you have been convicted,

the Tribunal sentences you to death by hanging.

D'SOUZA: American progressives were in a panic.

They realized that if future generations of Americans

knew the intimate connection between progressivism

and the Democratic Party on the one hand,

and the fascists and Nazis on the other,

they would be finished.

And so, taking a page from Hitler himself,

they settled upon the idea of a big lie.

First, they would muddle the meaning of fascism itself.

They would take the socialism out of National Socialism.

Second, they would move fascism from the left-wing column,

where it had always belonged, into the right-wing column.

But we must not believe that big lie.

The fascists and the Nazis were always on the left.

They formed a mutual admiration society

with the American left.

Even worse, the most destructive

and genocidal schemes of the fascists and Nazis

were inspired by American progressives

and the American Democratic Party.

That is the crushing historical truth.

Now we go from the left's big lie about fascism

to its big lie about racism.

Progressive Democrats typically blame racism

on America, and on the founding,

but were the founders to blame for the elaborate system

of slave plantations?

Historian Allen Guelzo teaches at Gettysburg College

and is the author of several award-winning books

on the Civil War.

If we speak of the founders as a whole,

would it be accurate to say that they believed A)

slavery is on a path of extinction;

and B) that slavery is a...

a regrettable thing, a bad thing?

They were confident

that slavery was going to disappear,

because it is a contradiction

-of our fundamental principles. - Are you saying

that there really wasn't a... formal pro-slavery ideology

at the time of the founding?

GUELZO: There's no pro-slavery philosophy

that works into the founding.

D'SOUZA: The founders took specific measures

to restrict slavery.

They outlawed the slave trade,

they prohibited slavery in the vast Northwest Territories,

under the Northwest Ordinance,

and they mounted such a strong critique of slavery

that by the end of the founding era,

slavery went from being a national

to a regional institution.

Then this happened.

NARRATOR: All over the world, the impact

of this simple invention was felt almost immediately.

Eli Whitney put together a few boards and rollers,

and gave the world a giant industry.

Cotton was king.

D'SOUZA: This new, expanded plantation system

demanded a political party to defend its interests."

the Democratic Party.

At the time of the founders, they thought slavery

was a dying institution,

but in the 19th century, that had changed.

They now began to talk about slavery

as a progressive institution.

And why not?

As George Fitzhugh, one of the principal

pro-slavery propagandists, argued:

Isn't slavery the same thing

as what we are reading about among European socialists?

What else is slavery, Fitzhugh argued,

but a practical form of socialism?

D'SOUZA: Fitzhugh even tried to sell his idea to black leaders.

He defends slavery

as an early form of the welfare state.

Fitzhugh argues that in slavery,

unlike in capitalism,

the slaves who cannot provide for themselves

are looked after from cradle to grave.

If you took the logic of that argument-- the idea

that the slave plantation is a kind of extended family,

that from each according to his abilities

to each according to his need--

Marxian principle--

that this was not only an excuse

for enslaving black people, but there was nothing in the logic

that prevented you from enslaving a white guy.

Why not enslave white people?

Or at least reduce them to an economic status

little better than that.

Why not also extend slavery

into the Northern, free states?

Lincoln thought he discerned

the hand of a plot here.

Would it be accurate to say that one of the key differences

between the Republican and the Democratic Party

is that the one party is founded on the idea

of keeping the fruits of your labor,

and the other party is founded on the idea,

we get to take your stuff, either for our own use

or because we've got some other, better use for it?

That became the credo of the Democratic Party.

D'SOUZA: The great opponent of the Democratic plantation

was Abraham Lincoln.

In a phrase, Lincoln described the evil of slavery

at its core.

LINCOLN (dramatized): You toil and work and earn bread,

and I'll eat it.

Whenever I hear someone arguing for slavery,

I feel a strong impulse to see it tried out,

on him personally.

D'SOUZA: Lincoln ruthlessly exposed

Democratic hypocrisy.

Wolves devouring lambs--

not because it is good for their own greedy maws,

but because it is good for the lambs.

GUELZO: For Lincoln, the fundamental sin of slavery

curiously enough

was not its racial aspect--

that comes after.

The fundamental sin of slavery is theft.

Because it says:

You work, you toil,

I will take the proceeds of that.

And Lincoln 's great anxiety was to point out

how Northern Democrats had conspired together

with Southern Democrats to promote justifications

of taking away the fruit of other people 's labor.

D'SOUZA: Guelzo is exposing the progressive strategy

of blaming slavery on the South.

The Northern Democrats were in league

with the Southern Democrats,

making slavery the sin not of the South,

nor of America, but of the Democratic Party.

GUELZO: Northern Democrats were fully as complicit in this

as Southern Democrats.

D'SOUZA: The powerful New York Democrat Martin Van Buren

applied the idea of rural plantations in the South

to urban centers in the North.

When new immigrants came to America,

they were poor, insecure, desperate.

Some came as indentured servants.

Like the slave populations in the South,

they were a vulnerable people.

Van Buren created an army of big-city bosses,

like Boss Tweed, who ran Tammany Hall in New York City,

who would raid the treasury

and use the money to create a patronage system

that would keep immigrant populations

collectively dependent on, and voting for,

the Democratic machines,

like in this scene from Gangs of New York.

MAN: ...take the chill off your soul

and the weight off your heart.

Welcome to America, son.

Your long, arduous journey is over.

MAN 2: Go back to your own country!

MAN 3: Vote Tammany!

D'SOUZA: So, before the Civil War,

the Democrats' majority status

depended upon rural plantations in the South

and urban plantations in the North.

Lincoln warned that the goal of the Democratic Party

was to turn all of America into a plantation.

To stop Lincoln, the Democrats went to war.

Lincoln won the war and demolished

the old Democratic plantation.

Republicans took steps

to integrate former slaves into American life,

to create for the first time a multiracial democracy.

Republicans pushed through

three landmark constitutional amendments,

freeing the slaves, guaranteeing the right to vote,

and securing equal rights under the law.

The Democrats overwhelmingly opposed all three.

And these were the Northern Democrats.

The Southern Democrats

had not yet been let back into the Union.

The Democrats needed

a new enslavement strategy

and someone to implement it.

Democratic President Woodrow Wilson knew

the national government had defeated

the old slave plantation,

so he and other progressives wanted

a new plantation system ruled by the national government

so it would last forever.

Wilson's first step: federal segregation.

He forced his departments to establish

separate workstations and restrooms for blacks.

Wilson's second step: racial terrorism.

Wilson screened the film Birth of a Nation

in the White House.

It spurred a national revival of the Ku Klux Klan.

The Klan had previously been confined

to a handful of Southern states.

Now it stretched from coast to coast.

The Klan became the domestic terrorist arm

of the Democratic Party.

Wilson was the first progressive president.

"Progressive" here means progress

toward the powerful centralized state

and away from the American founding.

In the Democrats' new plantation scheme,

the big house is the White House,

and the plantation master is the president.

Now let's turn to modern racism,

racism in the post-war era.

Here's what the left says:

The Democrats may have been the party of racism

a longtime ago,

but they underwent a conversion.

Now they are the champions of civil rights.

The left insists that in the 1960s,

the two parties switched sides,

brought about by Richard Nixon's Southern strategy.

Supposedly, Nixon converted the racists

in the Democratic Party, the Dixiecrats,

into Republicans.

So, today, Democrats are the good guys,

and Trump and the Republicans are the bad guys.

Did Nixon have a campaign strategy

that appealed to the racists of the Deep South?

No one has uncovered

a single racist campaign statement by Nixon.

So the left says Nixon used crime and drugs

as a code for racism,

but in fact, Nixonian resentment

was directed against the Vietnam draft dodgers

and the militant anti-war protesters

and the drug-smoking hippies.

You might recognize the unofficial anthem

of the Nixon voters,

composed by country singer Merle Haggard.

♪ We don't smoke marijuana ♪

♪ In Muskogee ♪

♪ We don't take our trips on LSD ♪

♪ We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street ♪

♪ We like livin'' right ♪

♪ Bein' free. ♪

Kevin Phillips, the author

of The Emerging Republican Majority,

is supposed to be the architect

of Nixon's Southern strategy.

But Phillips reveals that Nixon didn't have

a Southern strategy.

He had a Sunbelt strategy.

Nixon wanted to appeal

to those urban, upwardly mobile voters

stretching all the way from Florida to California.

This strategy included the Peripheral or Upper South,

but it did not include the Deep South.

Nixon won the Sunbelt,

and he lost the Deep South

to Democratic segregationist George Wallace.

One of the first things Nixon did

when he took office in 1969 was to introduce

America's first affirmative action program.

MAN : President Nixon is helping, uh,

minority people through his black entrepreneurship program.

D'SOUZA: Now, would a racist president

playing to a racist base

give legal preferences to blacks over whites?

Absurd.

And what about those Dixiecrats?

How many of them became Republicans?

Here is a list of senators and congressmen

who joined the Dixiecrat Party

or voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

In the House, just one switched parties:

Albert Watson.

In the Senate, just one:

Strom Thurmond.

All the other Dixiecrats stayed in the Democratic Party.

They died as Democrats.

Case in point...

Today, our country has lost

a true American original,

my friend and mentor, Robert C. Byrd.

D'SOUZA: This is the former Klansman

who led the filibuster against the Civil Rights Act.

Obama and Bill Clinton attended his memorial service.

They mention that he once had a fleeting association

with the Ku Klux Klan.

And what does that mean? I'll tell you what it means.

He was a country boy from the hills and the hollows

of West Virginia. He was trying to get elected.

D'SOUZA: The South's enduring shift into the Republican camp

came not in the Nixon but in the Reagan era.

Reagan defended patriotism, free markets,

family values, religious liberty.

He was pro-life.

It had nothing to do with race.

As the South became less racist,

it became more Republican.

So, the progressive Democratic claim

that the parties switched sides

and the Democrats are now the good guys

and Republicans are the bad guys

is a big lie.

Time to fast-forward to the present.

The Democrats have just one card left,

Charlottesville.

There they are, white supremacists

and nee-Nazis in Trump hats.

Doesn't that prove that racism today is on the right?

Jason Kessler organized the Charlottesville rally.

He is routinely portrayed

as a white supremacist and a right-winger.

But when the Southern Poverty Law Center

looked into his past,

they found an Obama supporter

who was active in the left-wing Occupy movement.

I exposed this on social media.

He didn't '1' like it.

Dinesh, (bleep) you. You go back to India.

You shouldn't be here.

Number one, you were born in India,

and you're just like the other people coming over

on these H1B1 visas.

(Indian accent): "Hello, sir. Uh, how are you doing today?"

We don't need you, okay?

D'SOUZA: But what does Kessler believe?

I mean, there is a problem with bankers.

There is a problem with the wealthiest people

in this country...

D'SOUZA: He still seems to me

to be pan' of that Occupy movement.

I decided to talk to someone

even more notorious than Kessler,

the poster boy of white supremacy.

Hail our people. Hail victory!

Protests over Richard Spencer's visit turning violent.

White nationalist Richard Spencer

is speaking at the University of Florida.

The Governor Rick Scott did declare

a state of an emergency.

- Pepe's become kind of a symbol... - MAN: Oh!

Africans have benefited

from their experience with white supremacy.

- You're a bigot. - If Africans had never existed,

world history would be ex... almost exactly the same

-as it is today. - Yeah, you just keep saying...

Because we are the genius that drives it.

You keep saying ignorant things.

You don't get to tell me what I will be.

Yeah, I do, actually. Because my name's Richard Spencer.

Richard Spencer, founder of the so-called alt-right movement...

Their movement is broadly referred to as "alt-right."

Richard Spencer, a prominent member of the alt-right...

D'SOUZA: What does Richard Spencer actually believe?

People have called you a Nazi.

Uh, are you a Nazi?

Oh, no, l-l'm not a Nazi.

I'm not a neo-Nazi. I'm not any of those things.

Now, you say you're not a neo-Nazi or a Nazi, and yet,

in the event that you had right around the time

-of Trump's inauguration... - Mm-hmm.

...there were a whole bunch of guys who were giving

the Nazi salute. You saw them.

- Sure. - You didn't repudiate them.

- No. - So you thought it was okay

to have some Nazi salutes

that... in response to what you were saying.

Um, I uttered the words,

"Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory."

Doesn't "Hail Trump" sound unnervingly like "Heil Hitler"?

Uh, sure. It was... I was being

-very provocative. -Isn't that why you...

You were being provocative.

Isn't it fair to say

that you're... that you know

that there is a... a media left out there

that is looking

to pin neo-Nazism on the right,

and by doing this kind of thing,

you're actually playing a part

in a script, you're actually giving them what they want,

which gives you a lot of media attention,

it serves their script,

-but it actually hurts Trump? - Uh, no,

I don't think the alt-right has hurt Trump

-in the slightest bit. - Would it be fair to say

that you are not just against illegal immigration,

but immigration, period?

I would be actually happy to open the door

to white South Africans.

Would you be happy with an immigration policy

that basically said,

"We want people from New Zealand, Australia,

"uh, white guys from Europe,

"Iceland and South Africa;

"we don't want that many people

-from, if any, Barbados or Bombay"? -Yes.

Now, this seems very different than... than Trump.

And by that, I mean, isn't it true that the line

that Trump is drawing is not a racial line

but a line between the legal and the illegal immigrant?

He's... he's made a difference between

the illegal and legal, sure.

But I ultimately don't support that.

Trump was quoted in the paper as saying:

If there's an Indian guy working in Silicon Valley,

and his visa runs out and we have to send him home,

that's a loss, that's something we should try to prevent.

- You disagree? - I do disagree with that.

The H1B visa program

has been totally detrimental to white people.

In Richard Spencer's world, what would you do

with non-white immigrants who are here?

- Uh-huh. - Good example would be me.

I'm a naturalized U.S. citizen. Would you send me home?

I hope that we can begin to pursue

a new policy of re-immigration.

And that would be about allowing people

to go home again.

I mean, I hear you echoing

a white Malcolm X philosophy.

NEWS MAN: Is it fair to say,

as a generality and as a... succinct way to put it,

that you believe in segregation of the races?

We do believe in separation.

Standing on our own feet,

among our... among our own kind,

and solving our own problems.

And that's the only way you'll get a solution

to the vital race problem in this country.

Mr. Muhammad teaches us to love our own kind

and let the white man take care of himself.

And so, if you and Malcolm X were at the table,

you'd get along just fine.

I think we could have a respectful dialogue

if Malcolm X were at the table.

Do you agree that what you're articulating

is a philosophy that was very prevalent

among, really, progressive Democrats

in the early 20th century?

I-I am sure there are instances

in which left-wing thinkers or entities

adopted nationalism.

What it means to be on the right, what it means

to be a conservative, is actually deeply collectivist.

It is not individualistic at all.

Pause for a moment. So, as-- I would say-- as a conservative,

I'm conserving...

the philosophy and the principles

of the American founding-- you're not?

I've been critical of the American founding,

and throughout my writings and my career, sure.

Uh, what's... what was wrong with the American founding?

This notion that we will create a state

to protect human rights or-or individual rights.

I mean, no state in the history of the world,

including the United States, was ever created like that.

So all men are created equal. True or false?

- False, obviously. - What about the idea that...

No...! one actually believes that.

I mean, seriously. No...! one believes that.

The idea that, let's say,

we have a right to life. True or false?

A ri... I don't think we have rights

to, really, anything.

I don't think we should ever pledge allegiance

or worship legal documents.

And would you agree that at the end of the day

it is the individual who serves the state

and not the other way around?

There are duties that we have to the state.

But this notion of a limited government which, you know,

as you know, the founders saw the government

as the enemy of our rights.

- Uh, in other words... - Not really.

- Well, look at the... - That's Reaganism.

Well, let's look at the Bill of Rights.

Congress shall make no law doing this,

and Congress shall make no law doing that.

So our rights-- our First Amendment right,

our Second Amendment right, to own a gun,

our Fourth Amendment right--

are seen as protections

against a government.

No...! individual has a right

outside of a collective community.

You have rights

not eternally or given by God or by nature...

- Who gives them to us? - Ult... You have them

because you are part of this community.

Ultimately, the state gives those rights to you.

So the state is the source of rights, not the individual.

It simply is.

What would be your take on, say, Reagan?

I do not think that he was a great president.

Who's your favorite president?

There is something about, uh, Jackson.

There's something about Polk as well,

someone who only served one term.

But, I mean, Jackson and Polk, as you know, both Democrats.

Uh,party

I mean, party is just the... the vessel that-that one uses.

I mean, Jackson's the founder of the Democratic Party.

You can find, perhaps, elective affinities,

uh, perhaps kind of ironic affin... affinities

between myself as an identitarian

and a progressive Democrat from the 1920s or something.

Have you seen the movie Birth of a Nation?

- Uh, yes, I have. - What do you think of it?

Uh, it's an amazing film.

One of the most important films ever made.

Certainly a racialist component to that.

It appealed to many Americans, including many presidents.

- It was screened in the... - Right, well, that's my point,

is that-that a progressive Democrat, Woodrow Wilson,

shows that movie in the White House

to the cabinet, and this leads to a kind of Klan revival

around the country.

So you see why I'm placing you

in that tradition?

Because those are... that's your team.

Uh... if that's progressivism,

then I guess I'm a progressive.

Uh, I'm-I'm fine with that.

Uh, International Socialism?

Uh, I'm... to be honest, uh, l-l'm not totally opposed

to socialism when... when done right.

Uh, I think we actually should use the government

to benefit ourselves, the people of this country.

I think we should have a national health care system,

I think we should quadruple national parks,

I think we should make this world a better place.

And I think government has a role to play in that.

D'SOUZA: Now, there's very little

on which Spencer and Trump actually agree.

Trump's a flag-waving patriot

who cherishes the American founders.

Spencer isn't and doesn't.

Trump's a free-market capitalist.

Spencer prefers a strong centralized state

regulating markets and dispensing entitlements.

Trump wants to keep illegals out

so legal immigrants and citizens,

whether white, black or brown, can thrive.

TRUMP: No...! matter where they come from,

no matter what faith they practice,

they form a single,

unbreakable team.

That's what we are-- we're a team.

As a nation, we're a team.

D'SOUZA: Spencer wants only white immigrants.

Trump believes that rights come from God.

TRUMP: No matter what the color of our skin

or the place of our birth,

we are all created equal by God.

D'SOUZA: Spencer is an atheist

who believes our rights come from the government.

They call him alt-right,

but he's not on the right.

He's not a conservative.

He's a tool of the media

to pin the white supremacist tail

on the Republican elephant.

He's pan' of the big lie.

We've talked about the racist history

of the Democratic Party, stretching all the way

to the present, but where's the racism now?

The Democratic ethnic plantation

has expanded greatly under Clinton and Obama.

The historian Kenneth Stampp

identifies the five distinctive features

of the slave plantation.

Dilapidated housing.

Broken families.

A high degree of violence

necessary to keep the plantation together.

No opportunity; no one gets ahead.

And a pervasive atmosphere of nihilism and despair.

Today, we find those exact features

in almost every city the Democrats control--

in the black ghetto,

the Latino barrio,

and on the Native American reservations.

This is racism 's contemporary face.

Democrats try to deflect attention

to a few powerless white nationalists

so that we'll miss the racism that is institutionalized

within the modern Democratic plantation.

Trump, far from being the problem,

is actually making things better.

African-American unemployment

stands at the lowest rate ever recorded.

...to make America great again for all Americans.

D'SOUZA: And watch the reaction

on the part of the overseers of the Democratic plantation.

And where's the fascism today? It's not Trump.

He's an American nationalist who wants capitalism,

limited government, individual liberty

and free speech.

And nothing is more anti-fascist than that.

By contrast, under Obama,

we saw government control increase dramatically

over banks, investment companies,

energy companies, the entire health care sector

and education.

This is state-run capitalism,

which is the clinical definition of fascism.

A second manifestation of fascism today

is the deep state.

The Democratic Party, under Obama and Hillary,

used the weapons of the state--

the IRS, the FBI, the CIA, the Justice Department--

against their political opponents.

I saw this with my own eyes.

The gangsterization of the U.S. government

and of American politics.

This is about as close as you can get

to institutional fascism.

And what about the fascist insistence

on cultural conformity,

what the Nazis called Gleichshaltung?

Today's left calls this "political correctness."

They use political correctness to establish

a stranglehold over academia,

the media, entertainment.

This enforced monopoly of views

is also an example

of fascism on the left today.

James O'Keefe is the founder and president

of Project Veritas,

a group with an unusual mission.

O'KEEFE: The media has protected the sacred cows--

the Planned Parenthoods, the NPRs,

the ACORNs, and now Antifa--

and they've only given you half the story.

So, in order to expose

the truth, we have to dig deep.

We have to go undercover

to unmask what they really believe.

D'SOUZA: What would you say is the ideology of Antifa?

Well, they don't believe in free speech.

They don't believe in the democratic process.

They don't believe in individual rights.

They don't believe in... anyone has a right

to express themselves or even exist

if it doesn't... if it isn't consistent

with their sort of revolutionary actions.

In our undercover journalism, they actually joke

about the fact that it's not self-defense.

D'SOUZA: Now, if I think of paramilitary organizations

that don't believe

in free speech or tolerance or the democratic process,

I think of not just the Communists,

but the fascists.

And yet here is an organization

that purports to be anti-fascist.

Yeah, I think they have a lot more in common

with the Mussolinis, the Brownshirts.

In our undercover tapes,

they're wearing black masks.

That bears a lot more in common with the fascism of, uh,

the early 20th century than they would have you believe.

Who is fueling or funding

the groups loosely called Antifa?

Torn Steyer's name came up a lot in California.

He's a billionaire.

Another name that's come up publicly--

uh, open-source records-- has been

George Soros.

D'SOUZA: George Soros is one of the richest men in the world.

He styles himself as anti-fascist,

but his own history has a different story to tell.

STEVE KROFT: When the Nazis

occupied Budapest in 1944,

George Soros's father was a successful lawyer.

He lived on an island in the Danube

and liked to commute to work in a rowboat.

But knowing there were problems ahead for the Jews,

he decided to split his family up.

WOMAN: No...!!

KROFT: And he bribed a government official

to take 14-year-old George Soros in

and swear that he was his Christian godson.

But survival carried a heavy price tag.

While hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews

were being shipped off to the death camps,

George Soros accompanied his phony godfather

on his appointed rounds,

confiscating property from the Jews.

I was 14 years old.

And I would say that that's when my character was made.

- In what way? - That one should think ahead,

one should understand and-and anticipate events.

My understanding is, is that you went out

with this protector of yours

who swore that you were,

-uh, his adopted godson. - Yes, yes, yes.

Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property

-from the Jews. - That's right.

- Yes. - KROFT: But that-that sounds,

uh, like an experience that would send lots of people

to the psychiatric couch for many, many years.

Was it difficult?

Uh... not...

not at all, not at all.

It created no... no problem at all.

- No...! feeling of guilt? - No...!.

Well, actually, in a funny way, it's just like in markets,

that if I weren't there--

of course, I wasn't doing it--

but somebody else would-would...

would be taking it away anyhow.

And it was the... whether I was there or not.

I was only a spectator.

The property was being taken away.

So I had no role in taking away that property.

So I had no sense of guilt.

Are you religious?

No...!.

- Do you believe in God? - No.

D'SOUZA: The issue is not what Soros did as a teenager.

It is that today, as an adult,

he sees nothing wrong with What he did

and would seemingly be willing to do it again.

Soros's self-justification echoes an argument made by one

of the most notorious Nazis himself.

"During my work at the Gypsy camp,

"I came across Mengele and watched his activities.

"I personally observed him

"infecting Gypsy twins with typhus

"in order to observe whether the twins

"reacted differently or in the same way.

"Shortly after... after they were in...

had been infected, they were gassed."

Do you believe that your father was responsible for this?

Personally, he did not assume he did it.

He thought he is a member

of a concentration camp, he's not responsible for it,

because he did not...

invent the concentration camp.

D'SOUZA: Enough big lies.

It is time to tell the truth.

The progressive Democrats are the true racists.

They are the true fascists.

They want to steal our income,

they want to steal our earnings and our wealth

and our freedom and our lives.

They're trying to kill America

by killing the economic and political

and religious freedom of Americans.

My wife Debbie grew up in Venezuela

and has seen firsthand a prosperous democratic country

give way to socialist tyranny.

There, a fascist regime

is destroying the lives of the Venezuelan people.

Debbie prays that America doesn't go down this road.

D'SOUZA: How do we fight the tyranny of the left?

We, as citizens, have to do our part,

as some did even in Nazi Germany.

Like Lenin and Hitler,

Sophie Scholl came here to Schwabing to study.

While attending university,

she learned of the atrocities of the Nazis.

She saw them.

As a devout Christian,

she rejected Nazi indoctrination

and joined the White Rose,

a group of activists horrified by German war crimes.

She and her associates

distributed pamphlets using Bible verses

and philosophical arguments for resistance

to National Socialism.

She showed us how one individual...

Thank you.

...can fight to save a nation.

Lights.

It's okay.

SCHOLL: Therefore, every individual

conscious of his responsibility

as a member of Christian and Western civilization

must defend himself

as best he can at this late hour.

He must work against fascism

and any similar system of totalitarianism.

Quick. Before the class is over.

Be safe.

"Every word that comes from Hitler's mouth is a lie.

"When he says 'peace,' he means 'war,'

"and when he blasphemously uses the name of the Almighty,

"he means the power of evil,

"the fallen angel, Satan.

His mouth is the foul-smelling maw of hell."

How dare you speak against the Fuhrer!

Somebody, after all...

had to make a start.

What we wrote and said

-is also believed by many others.

They just don't dare to express themselves

as we did.

Found guilty, you will be put to death for this treason.

Will it be Worth it?

An end in terror

is preferable to a terror with no end.

SCHOLL: I will cling to the rope

God has thrown to me in Jesus Christ,

even when my numb hands

can no longer feel it.

Isn't it a riddle

and awe-inspiring

that everything is so beautiful...

despite the horror?

Lately, I have noticed something grand and mysterious

peering through my sheer joy in all that is beautiful,

a sense of its creator.

Only man can truly be ugly,

because he has the free will

to estrange himself...

from this song of praise.

How can we expect fate

to let a righteous cause prevail

when there is hardly anyone

who will give himself up undividedly

to a righteous cause?

Stand up for what you believe in.

Even if you are standing alone.

D'SOUZA: She showed us how one individual

can fight to save a nation.

How do we, as a nation, fight leftist tyranny?

Reagan knew how to fight.

Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate.

Mr. Gorbachev,

tear down this wall.

D'SOUZA: And Reagan knew how to win.

REAGAN: Fascism ever comes to America, it'll come

in the name of-of liberalism.

And what is fascism? Fascism is:

private ownership, private enterprise,

but total government control and regulation.

Well, isn't this the liberal philosophy?

The conservative, so-called,

is the one that says, "Less government,

"get off my back, get out of my pocket,

and let me have more control of my own destiny."

D'SOUZA: Trump is the inheritor of the Reagan mantle.

Do we have the desire and the courage

to preserve our civilization

in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?

D'SOUZA: The parties haven't switched sides.

The main issue separating them is the same as in 1860.

You toil and work and earn bread,

and I'll eat it.

D'SOUZA: Lincoln exposed the Democratic Party

as the party of theft.

Republicans, he said, stand for the right of Americans

to keep the fruits of their labor.

Well, that's what Republicans stand for now.

That's what Trump is fighting for.

Democrats have gone from one theft scheme to another.

You work, and they take what you earn

to keep themselves in power.

Democrats were the party of tyranny and enslavement

in Lincoln 's time,

and they are the party of tyranny and enslavement now.

GUELZO: If Lee had been victorious

at Gettysburg, that would have brought down

the entire administration.

And what the future beyond that would have been

is almost unthinkable, because then,

where would there have been

an American republic to intervene

against German militarism in World War I

or, worse still, the universal midnight

of Nazism in World War ll?

The consequences of Gettysburg,

if they'd gone in the other direction,

are simply enough

to make the flesh creep.

D'SOUZA: Lincoln was tough.

He refused to give up his electoral mandate.

He insisted it belonged to the American people.

He united Republicans behind that toughness.

Trump has Lincoln 's inner toughness,

but he needs the Republican Party

to get behind him.

Lincoln was the architect

of a decent American nationalism.

Trump must follow in Lincoln 's footsteps.

In this way, Trump can complete the task

to which Lincoln dedicated his life:

shutting down, once and for all,

the Democratic plantation.

A nation dies when its people are not free.

It's our America.

Let's save it for the second time.

LINCOLN (dramatized): It is rather for us

to be here dedicated to the great task before us--

that from these honored dead

we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave

the last full measure of devotion,

that we here highly resolve that these dead

shall not have died in vain,

that this nation,

under God,

shall have a new birth of freedom,

and that government of the people,

by the people

and for the people,

shall not perish from the Earth.
