LOU DOBBS (HOST): Taking on -- taking on the 1619 Project, which is a dear poster for the -- for the left that they now embrace in schools that they are trying to press, which is revisionist history, it's ignorance itself --
PASTOR ROBERT JEFFRESS (FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR): Yes.
DOBBS: -- not educational, trying to construct this nation as oppressive rather than freedom loving and, by the way, liberty giving as a nation. No nation has ever done as much as ours for the -- for other nations across this -- this globe. It's terrible. And to think of the -- that it requires an executive order by this president to -- to put in place patriotic education. Our education was not so long ago patriotic. We -- we knew the -- the sacrifice of our forbearers over the course of the centuries of this nation's existence and we celebrated our heroes and our unity and now it's the inverse. Your thoughts as we wrap up here.
JEFFRESS: Well, exactly. Remember, the way the Nazis gained control of Germany was to first take control of the educational system. We can't allow that to happen in our country and we need to continue to pray for this great president and the eternal impact he's making.
