Summary
Led by communists like Antonio Gramsci, progressives began their long march through the institutions in the 1960s. They indoctrinated students with dangerous socialist ideas beginning at the earliest levels of education. The effect has been a hatred of America that persists even in today's youth. In this "Young Heretics" special, Spencer Klavan sits down with the new president of Young America's Foundation, Governor Scott Walker, to break down YAF's new action plan, a plan that Walker says will wrestle back education and culture from the clutches of Left. You can join the fight to save America as we know it by joining The Long Game at https://YAF.org/LongGame.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys and welcome to a young heretics special edition. |
| 0:08.1 | This is a new thing that we're doing whenever something really of great interest strikes. |
| 0:13.2 | My eye, whenever somebody's doing something that is I think really salutary in the public square |
| 0:18.8 | and especially of course having to do with education and with passing on the great traditions. |
| 0:24.0 | Governor Scott Walker was the governor of Wisconsin until very recently where he stood up to a number |
| 0:30.9 | of really down and dirty leftist attacks. He's now very excitingly the president of Young |
| 0:37.7 | America's foundation. Governor Walker is announcing what what is called the Long Game which is an |
| 0:43.4 | effort to really take back education from this new sort of leftist surge. Governor Walker, |

| 1:03.5 | what YAF does more generally for folks who don't know and then how this how this new initiative |
| 1:08.4 | is going to going to play out. Well, it really is about young people because all the way back to 1960 |
| 1:13.9 | when at the home of William F Buckley about a hundred students gathered together then at very |
| 1:18.4 | similar times, troubling, challenging times in our nation's history. They saw too much infiltration |
| 1:23.7 | of the left not only in college campuses, but in culture. And so they formed this group. One of |
| 1:29.2 | the earliest leaders was Ronald Reagan even before he was an elected office and was supportive of |
| 1:33.8 | us all the way through his time as president and even afterwards letting us own and operate the |
| 1:37.9 | Reagan ranch. But it's really about reaching college students and now increasingly even high school |
| 1:42.4 | students with messages about freedom, free enterprise, individual liberties, things that historically |
