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.

("The Star-Spangled Banner" playing)

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.
- (laughter)

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.

(laughter)

He might be leading
the Republican ticket.

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS:
Next... (laughs)

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

There's not gonna be
a President Donald Trump.

- Um... that's not gonna happen.
- (chuckling, applause)

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.
- (cheering and applause)

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,

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?!
- (cheering)

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

Not even close.

The hell we can't.

(cheering)

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,

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.

- (whoops}
- (cheering)

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.

(cheering, whistling)

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.

(cheering)

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!
- (cheering)

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.

(sighs deeply)

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... (sniffles)

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?

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! (whoops)

Yeah! (whooping)

Is there a doomsday plan?

(sighs)
We're gonna...

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

A Trump 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
- (protesting)

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 Islamophobia.

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.

(shouting)

(crashing, shattering)

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!
- (cheering and applause)

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.
- (laughter)

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 drives 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.

- (cheering)
- (men singing in Italian)

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.

(Italian song fades)

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.

(bells chiming)

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

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

Seizure of land
without compensation.

State control
of religious expression.

This reads like something
jointly written

by Elizabeth Warren

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

They were met by police.

Hitler was arrested

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

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

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 cause.

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

"Your writings are my bible."

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.

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

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.

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.

In 1939, he invaded Poland.

Within two years,

Fascism was on the march

Soon Hitler would declare war

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

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.

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.

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.

arduous journey is over.

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.

Now, this seems very different

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

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

I hope that

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.

Trump's a flag-waving patriot

the American founders.

Spencer isn't and doesn't.

Trump's

Spencer prefers
a strong centralized state

regulating markets

Trump wants

TRUMP:
No matter where they come from,

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

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

white nationalists

the problem,

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 think

And yet here is an organization

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

But survival carried

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

for many, many years.

Was it difficult?

Uh... not...

not at all, not at all.

It created no...
no problem at all.

- 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

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

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...
