Fox News Hosts Interview With Socialist Revolutionary High School Teacher

video
» 23 comments

Here’s something you won’t see every day: A man declaring himself an avowed socialist and calling for revolution, a la Latin America, after calling for a revolt against “racist white people”– on Fox News. The man is Santee High School teacher Ron Gochez, and he is an Arizona schoolteacher accused of inciting armed rebellion. As a response to the bad press, Fox News’ Griff Jenkins gave him an extensive interview to clear up his name and ideology.

Jenkins barely interjects in the 7-minute-long piece, only asking about three questions to direct the conversation. Meanwhile, Gochez– who became an internet sensation of sorts for a YouTube video in which he protests the Minutemen and opponents of illegal immigration– clears up, repeatedly, that he is not in favor of violence, and does not teach revolution in the classroom:

“Historically, the two things that have been the biggest enemy of our communities and all communities of color, specifically, is capitalism and imperialism… For those people that are saying that I’m indoctrinating students or that I’m teaching this– no. I’m a professional, in the classroom I do what I have to do and teach my kids. Outside of the classroom, it’s a totally different story.”

He added that he is “a socialist. I believe in socialism, and I believe that’s happening all over the continent and that’s what I support and I will never back down from that.” Jenkins did not pressure him on this issue, only once noting that his views made it seem like he was anti-American, in general. Gochez even thanked Fox News for the platform and the ability to clear up the fact that he doesn’t think all white people are racism (though he does hate capitalism, “but do I say that in my classroom? No.”).

This interview has a clear message, courtesy of Griff Jenkins: Anyone who has ever accused Fox News of not living up to their “Fair and Balanced” motto is going to have their hands full with this segment. How do you explain a man calling for socialist revolution, barely interrupted, for nearly eight minutes on Fox News? Not that Jenkins was nodding approvingly, but the discussion, considering the extreme nature of Gochez’s beliefs, was shockingly civil.

    Finally! After all these years FOX found a real socialist. Does that mean they will now stop calling anyone to their left that name? We’ll see.

  • TylerDurden

    I am sure this guy was a BHO mentor.

  • AmericanCowboy

    Big shocker – Our children are being indoctrinated. Once again – Wake the F up America! This has been the liberial plan for a long time and the reason Bill Aryers stopped making bombs and starting teaching. 9 out of 10 teachers and professors are liberials.

    …‹(•¿•)›…‹(•¿•)›…‹(•¿•)›…Support “Legal Only” Immigration..‹(•¿•)›…‹(•¿•)›…‹(•¿•)›…

    Buycott Arizona. Visit the Great State of Arizona this year. I have planned a trip to Scottsdale for June. Scottsdale has some amazing resorts, great restaurants and shopping, a wild nightlife and some of the greatest golf courses on earth. They also have the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. Let’s support the Great State by spending money there. Vote out politicians who don’t support legal immigration and want to boycott this state. Business owners buy Arizona products!!!!

  • TylerDurden

    So the Arizona law is racist, like the Federal law? I bet he , like Holder, hasn’t read it.

  • ChuckfromTacoma

    Is the law printed in Spanish? Press 1.

    PoliticalGlutton,
    I’ve heard more people than I can count that work FOR Obama admit they are socialist and communist. Shall I post their own words? I know that breaks the 11th commandment, though shalt not use liberals words against them, but I’m pretty sure if a libs specifically asks for it, it’s ok.

  • Snipzor

    Michelle, the 11th commandment thing was from Ronald Reagan in regards to republicans. Seriously way to rewrite history.

    Having said that, go ahead. Have at is Hoss.

  • MichelleF

    Van Jones – (of course, some of these are no longer at the WH because as soon as Glenn Beck played their words on TV, they mysteriously disappeared)
    Jones told the East Bay Express in 2005:

    I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th [1992], and then the verdicts came down on April 29th. By August, I was a communist. (…)

    I met all these young radical people of color – I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, ‘This is what I need to be a part of.’ I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.

    Jones was the leader and founder of a radical group, the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM.

    Last week, Fox News Channel’s Glenn Beck drew attention to a section of STORM’s manual that describes Jones’ organization as having a “commitment to the fundamental ideas of Marxism-Leninism.”

    “We agreed with Lenin’s analysis of the state and the party,” reads the manifesto. “And we found inspiration in the revolutionary strategies developed by Third World revolutionaries like Mao Zedong and Amilcar Cabral.”

    STORM’s newsletter boasted “we also saw our brand of Marxism as, in some ways, a reclamation.”

    Anita Dunn –
    And then the third lesson and tip actually come from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse-Tung and Mother Teresa — not often coupled with each together, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is, you’re going to make choices. You’re going to challenge. You’re going to say, “Why not?” You’re going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before. But here’s the deal: These are your choices. They are no one else’s.

    In 1947, when Mao Tse-Tung was being challenged within his own party on his plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army, they had the air force, they had everything on their side. And people said, “How can you win? How can you do this? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?” And Mao Tse-Tung said, you know, “You fight your war, and I’ll fight mine.” And think about that for a second.

    You know, you don’t have to accept the definition of how to do things, and you don’t have to follow other people’s choices and paths, OK? It is about your choices and your path. You fight your own war. You lay out your own path. You figure out what’s right for you. You don’t let external definition define how good you are internally. You fight your war. You let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path.”

    Ron Bloom is the Manufacturing Czar.-
    “We kind of agree with Mao that power comes largely from the barrel of a gun.”

    “Any health care funding plan that is just equitable civilized and humane must, must redistribute wealth from the richer among us to the poorer and the less fortunate. Excellent health care is by definition redistributional,” Donald Berwick said. Berwick is Obama’s nominee to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (sounds a little like socialism to me)

    Now, I have to go to a soccer game, but I’ll provide more later.

    Michelle, snip is truley ignorant. He didn’t get your 11th commandment joke. Libs are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo stupid and they have no sense of humor.

  • TylerDurden

    Gordon, the narcissist JFK conspiracy nut , Mark Lane, once during a public debate with Vince Bugliosi, threaten to sue Bugliosi if Bugliosi quoted an outrageous claim Lane made about the JFK killing.

    Libs are the gift that keeps on giving!

    >>> >>> >>>

    I Thought heard him say that he’d read the AZ law in full, and that he then had all of his students read copies of it in full too.

    Something like “Oh Sure they know it’s a RACIST Law…”. But of course, We’re supposed to believe that He never, Ever preaches the gospel of a historically proven failed system of governance to the kiddies on the taxpayers dime, as he said earlier in the interview. that he only does That on his personal time. Durr.. alrighty then “Professor” Gochez.

    This is what Happens when Born Losers like Him are given the opportunity to Overlord kids or any Other group of people that can be easily influenced by Bullsh@t though. So what a Shocker!

  • TylerDurden

    Thought heard him say that he’d read the AZ law in full, and that he then had all of his students read copies of it in full too. ”

    Ne never said he read it.

    You’re right, He didn’t. I stand corrected. Thanks TD.

  • writer

    Hey, the guy hates white people and is for people coming here illegally. That makes him A-Okay in the left’s book.

  • fliteshare

    I came on this planet and I found it divied up already. Who could imagine that I as human being wasn’t allowed to go were ever I pleased. just because some war mongers decided it to be so. I came in peace, I will remain peaceful but I refuse to hand over my rights to walk the face of this planet where ever I damn well please, regardless how many guns you dare aim at an unarmed civilian.

  • Sunnyr

    This Bozo should NOT be teaching our children. He should be in Comrade Obama’s Cabinet.

  • http://none pyrope

    Maybe he’s booking to be appointed Czar of Re-Education. If I had a child in that school I would disenroll them IMMEDIATELY and send them to a private school. This guy’s in the same group as those who teach children to adorn cucumbers with prophylactics and teach revisionist history. The people who have children in that school district deserve exactly what they’re getting if they don’t shut this traitor down.
