Jack Posobiec is running for Congress and has been smeared by the media, and Jack's actually here to talk about it! Plus, a story about Jack's experience living under the Chinese Communist Party, and why he thinks vaccines should be legalized.
00:00:23.000They were threatening to arrest the truckers and they backed down.
00:00:26.000So this may be a victory in some respects, but the war is still raging and the Great Honkening continues!
00:00:33.000And here in the U.S., there is more and more talk about American truckers getting on board with their own kind of great freedom convoy or great honking.
00:01:26.000Yes, I lived in China for almost 24 years.
00:01:31.000To me, it's like I was not free, I was a new slave.
00:01:34.000So I feel very young in this country because I started my new life, free person life, at 24 years old.
00:01:42.000So I think it'll be great to talk to you about what we're seeing with the vaccine mandates and all those policies, what your experience was under the Chinese Communist Party.
00:01:51.000I think there's probably some similarities, I'd imagine.
00:02:36.000So I think everybody knows who Jack is, but you know... Yeah, Jack Posobiec, he was the host of Human Events Daily, also the senior editor over there, host on the Turning Point Live network.
00:02:45.000As well as a million different things now published in Newsweek, which of course has made NBC's resident Mehdi Hassan very upset because I was going after NBC and their relationship with the CCP and many others and their relationships with the CCP.
00:02:58.000So of course, he comes out to try to smear me, try to cancel me, and is incredibly impotent.
00:03:06.000They have an eclectic set of opinions in their opinion section.
00:03:08.000Well, so they're running dissenting views now, and so they'll actually set it up They weren't able to do it because of, you know, sometimes they didn't get the timing right.
00:03:16.000They'll actually pick someone on the left and someone on the right.
00:03:19.000And so if you go to their opinion page, it'll say, you know, sort of like this person on the left versus this person on the right.
00:03:25.000And maybe the topic is vaccine mandates or the topic is the new voting rights project or, you know, Biden's voting right, whatever it is.
00:03:33.000And they'll run opposing views, which is something that newspapers and magazines used to do in the past all the time.
00:03:39.000And yet somehow, you know, later on into the 2000s, we split into, oh, no, this side is only going to give one opinion.
00:03:47.000This one's only going to give another.
00:03:48.000So everything that Josh Hammer and the whole team is doing over there is amazing because, yeah, and you've got Mediasan and people like this saying, no, you can't run these people because they have bad opinions and very naughty thoughts.
00:06:04.000Well, this is sort of what we were talking about the other day when I was saying, A huge reason this trucker convoy is a threat to them is because people realize they can stand up for themselves and don't have to obey every order.
00:06:13.000They're not going to be as effective when they try to impose things like this.
00:06:15.000You mean like people have power or something?
00:06:55.000When people stand together, and push back, and honk their horns, the powers that be recoil in fear.
00:07:02.000I mean, I just love seeing these comments where, you know, it's like somebody's screaming, I just can't take it anymore, you know, these racist, white supremacists, they're in the downtown, and whatever, and the response is just, honk!
00:07:19.000You know this reminded me in China when they took this app off young people's phone to have like a basically funny stuff and talk about their private you know sex and dating and the government even banned that app and how did they protest it?
00:07:36.000To find our own people they go out and Didi, Didi, they push their car.
00:08:25.000Brie Dale had tweeted it and then I commented on that.
00:08:28.000Someone said that Soros is finally realizing that the West is going to be subservient to China after this great reset or whatever.
00:08:36.000Right, so, and you're seeing this, like, Jake Taper at CNN is now attacking China during the Olympics, and George Soros is out and come out and put up this video.
00:08:43.000And so people are saying, hey, wait, what's going on?
00:08:46.000Like why, you know, why, why Soros, the guy who's Mr.
00:09:34.000For, you know, for, for these, these, these, these industrialists, these
00:09:38.000wealthy individuals, these global leaders to outright be like, no, no, no,
00:09:41.000it's fine if we move our manufacturing to China, it's a good thing.
00:09:44.000And now they hold all the cards and they're like, uh, okay, maybe that was a bad thing.
00:09:47.000Do you remember when Republicans, when, so Trump used to talk about this, and this was one of the singular issues.
00:09:52.000I think two of his biggest issues, immigration and China, right?
00:09:55.000Were like two of the absolute biggest ones.
00:09:57.000And both of them revolve around the concept of sovereignty.
00:10:00.000But on those focused issues, he really changed the conversation on.
00:10:03.000And I remember when he started coming out and saying, we need to have steel tariffs because the steel industry is a matter of national security in the United States.
00:10:11.000There were so many of these like libertarian type, conservatarian Republicans saying, what do you mean?
00:10:17.000What does that have to do with national security?
00:10:19.000That's just, that's just the steel industry.
00:10:21.000And we should have, you know, the free flow of capital and goods and people across borders and the free, you know, free trade is really what matters.
00:10:28.000And he turns around and said, yeah, well, what if we get into a war with China and we can't make steel to build equipment for our military?
00:10:35.000What if there's a global pandemic and we can't make vitamin C?
00:12:21.000I have friends of friends, stories I've heard about people who are currently traveling around in China and it's like, oh yeah, you have to scan everything to get in anywhere.
00:12:29.000You've got to be completely up to date and then to get into any building, it's scanned and all tracked everywhere you go.
00:12:34.000Well, for Beijing Olympics, which are coming down, they're locking down.
00:12:38.000So they have to be very careful about this because they don't want to lock down Beijing itself.
00:12:42.000And so the Olympics start, what, in two or three days, I think.
00:12:46.000And they're locking down various districts of Beijing, but they're not actually locking down the main centers yet.
00:12:52.000Now, they have this thing called the bubble.
00:12:54.000Or if you're in, they call it being in the loop when you come in.
00:12:57.000But they're even with, because they're pursuing the zero COVID strategy, even with that, they've had breakthrough cases inside that bubble.
00:13:52.000Or are they just going to go along with it?
00:13:53.000I haven't seen any athletes protesting it because I, and I remember too, like go back and look at, um, the Rio Olympics, which were just a couple of years ago and when Zika virus was going on.
00:14:03.000And I remember Olymp, you know, a lot of athletes saying, Hey, I'm, I'm not going to go to Rio because I don't want Zika.
00:14:13.000And this is what I actually wrote about in Newsweek.
00:14:15.000and NBC's getting, you know, sending out this hitman to come after me, is that you're—I've
00:14:22.000heard people describe the relationship as something like elite capture, like the CCP
00:14:26.000has captured American elites, but it's not like that. It's actually elite merger. That's what
00:14:31.000we're seeing across the world. And so, yes, there's this argument over who gets to be senior
00:14:35.000partner and who gets to be junior partner, but at the end of the day, this has been a merger
00:14:38.000that's been in place for almost 30 years now, certainly since their ascension to the WTO.
00:14:43.000And that's why when you see these things like Hunter Biden's laptop or the fact that Barbara Boxer, the former senator from California, is now a registered agent of a CCP surveillance company, which actually makes the cameras for Xinjiang.
00:14:59.000I mean, you could go look at this stuff up.
00:15:00.000But can you say it like Alex Jones now?
00:15:03.000It's funny because when you talk about You know you have what is that picture of Klaus Schwab holding the great reset book or something right the media told us.
00:15:08.000They're selling out your children. They're gonna be hooked up to the CCP machines
00:15:12.000It's funny because when you talk about You know you have what is that picture of Klaus Schwab
00:15:17.000holding the great reset book or something right the media told us
00:15:20.000It's a conspiracy theory. There's no great reset, and he's like smiling with his buddy wrote the book
00:15:24.000It's just so insane how... I gotta say, it does feel like we're winning when you get stories like the truckers pushing back, them starting to back down.
00:15:34.000They couldn't pull off what they thought they could pull off.
00:15:36.000And what I mean by they, I mean like these authoritarian political establishment elite types.
00:15:40.000But you know what'll come next, right?
00:17:29.000The Mounties and Rebel News, as far as I can tell, are the only ones that actually have people who are embedded there because there's no way to get there right now otherwise.
00:17:38.000So it's like the middle of nowhere, but they're putting up, and I'm looking just a couple of minutes ago, the Alberta Premier Kenny just declared that the blockade is unlawful, warning the participants are subject to arrest.
00:17:50.000and they're broadcasting. So this is like kind of like it's not like this, but it's similar to
00:17:55.000the Bundy Ranch standoff that took place or the Mulhear reservation. It's not like that in the
00:18:00.000sense they haven't taken over, you know, like a federal facility or anything like that. But this
00:18:04.000time around, Rebel Media is actually in there embedded. So they just six minutes ago posted a
00:18:09.000video of of the truckers releasing a statement in response to the Alberta premier saying,
00:18:15.000look, we want dialogue, we want communication and we want the mandates. This is a lot like
00:18:33.000But you were saying that he's going around live streaming on the ground, embedded in this moment, very similar to what happened with Occupy Wall Street.
00:18:42.000Not just with me covering this, and people were giving him batteries.
00:18:45.000People were like coming up to him, recognizing him and saying, Oh, Viva!
00:18:59.000He was like meeting, you know, uh, And there was like a singer songwriter, this girl who was there and she like played amazing grace just for him.
00:19:06.000And he's talking to truckers and retired people.
00:19:08.000It was, I honestly, I kid you not, I was watching his live streams and then just any live stream I could of these trucker protests for like the last three days straight.
00:19:17.000So if you've been in my house or if you've been at the studio down in DC, literally you see me at the computer all year in the background is just.
00:20:00.000That's why it's so important for people who love freedom to appreciate what they have now.
00:20:05.000You've got to fight so hard to keep it, you know?
00:20:08.000If I could ask you, Lily, what is one thing that you think Americans need to band together and do right now to prevent our country from becoming like the one you left?
00:20:30.000I saw the writings on the wall, and I saw the similar tactics and features, what's going on in this country with the Mao's Cultural Revolution.
00:24:08.000So you're running for the Republican nomination?
00:24:13.000Yes, there are five Republican men in the primary with me, and I welcome all good men, but I have a compelling, unique story, and I understand how precious our freedom is.
00:24:27.000I feel confident with grassroots support.
00:26:06.000And then when you get to Washington, will you do everything in your efforts to repeal unconstitutional gun bans, you know, and things like that?
00:26:17.000Of course, if you have not seen my Jon Stossel interview, I was holding my AR-15.
00:28:02.000So, basically, you tell me exactly what happened with Tiananmen Square.
00:28:05.000They came and they killed all these students.
00:28:07.000So what happens that when the premier of China, Hu Yaobang, he was the one not just advocate for economical freedom, he was talking about we should have political freedom as well.
00:28:22.000So we were in college, like, Let's talk about it.
00:30:23.000So what people need to understand about the Second Amendment That story.
00:30:27.000What would have happened if they actually were armed?
00:30:31.000I don't think it would have escalated to a major conflict.
00:30:33.000It would have escalated to a dialogue.
00:30:35.000Because the government would be like, look, we're not going to go in there.
00:30:38.000People there have weapons and it could go south real quick.
00:30:42.000So we need to figure out how to defuse this.
00:30:44.000In the United States, a lot of these, you know, large instances, these large moments where people, the left is like, what do you think you're going to do?
00:31:14.000But the charges were dropped against the boyfriend because he had a right to keep and bear arms and defend his home.
00:31:20.000That means the police in this country know A law-abiding citizen may be armed, and if you try and break into their house and violate their rights, you could die.
00:31:30.000And Grant Taylor's boyfriend did not get in trouble.
00:31:33.000I mean, they pushed him through it a little bit, but eventually he just was like, look, it was a lawful self-defense of his house.
00:31:39.000So in a country like, you look at these videos out of Australia or the UK, the cops kick the door and they walk and they do whatever they want.
00:31:52.000Well, that's why, if you look at my past, 2013, I published open ad by National Review online to say, like, guns against tyranny.
00:32:03.000And I talk about Tiananmen Square, I talk about Chinese people feel powerless to defend themselves, their families, and anybody can kick your door open.
00:32:12.000And I was told when I live a very poor, illiterate, working parents' neighborhood, Say, hey, if criminals come, go grab our choppers in the kitchen.
00:32:23.000Like when you do bones and chickens, you know, you use those.
00:32:28.000Chopsticks don't do any sense, so you have to just grab the knives, you know?
00:32:32.000So when I come to this country, when I first time got passionately involved in politics, because 2013 the Democrats in Colorado wanted to limit the AR-15 magazines, So I testified.
00:32:46.000First time, I did not know how to testify in this long line.
00:33:54.000Well, when the PRC founded in 1949, my dad told me, he remembered.
00:33:58.000Because before that, some people still have some guns, even though Nationalist Party by Chiang Kai-shek also started to have gun control laws, because, you know, he was kind of corrupt too.
00:34:07.000But after PRC, the communist said, turn over all your guns, whatever you have in your house, including those people who were supposed to be kind of like a little bit like a militia group, turn your guns, or we search door by door, then you go To jail.
00:34:41.000You know, there are lots of cases to prove and the people, Unless some people will say, I guarantee you 100% that our government in the U.S.
00:34:58.000Over a long enough period of time, a system that has centralized authority... If you have a hundred leaders, and you have a system of centralized authority, and 99 of them are good people, but you end up finally getting that one dictator, then he goes nuts and seizes more power and kills people.
00:35:16.000We just shouldn't have that centralized kind of power.
00:35:27.000And when I was growing up as one madman sociopath, 20 million people died during his Cultural Revolution.
00:35:33.000So you go through the Cultural Revolution in China, you come to the U.S., you're in Colorado, and you said 2013, I think, right?
00:35:40.000And now, how do you- I mean, I kind of asked you this already, but seeing everything that's going on right now, it's got to be kind of like, I don't know, nerve-wracking?
00:35:49.000You're like, I left trying to get away from this, and now these countries are doing similar things, and they're ramping up towards this, you know, authoritarianism.
00:35:56.000Well, like defectors from Russia, they said that too.
00:36:01.000They will corrupt the free world one little bit, socialism, every day.
00:36:33.000You cannot have a private property anymore.
00:36:35.000And your children don't belong to you, they belong to the state.
00:36:38.000And you don't have a medical decision anymore.
00:36:40.000You know, we have seen plenty of that in the past two years.
00:36:42.000That's why I feel like I can do more now by going to run for office so I can get my messages out.
00:36:50.000I want to pull up this tweet here from Benny Johnson.
00:36:55.000Savage Canadian conservative leader puts final nail in Trudeau's coffin in Parliament in front of the whole world.
00:37:01.000This is a truly epic 30-second smackdown.
00:37:05.000And the reason I think this clip is important is that it shows for all of the bad that's been happening in Western countries, There is still an active resistance speaking up and saying no.
00:37:17.000This is in relation to the truckers protests, the freedom convoy, the great honking, and how Trudeau and Kennedy lied smearing these people.
00:37:30.000You get very defensive of Canadians who are outside today, patriotic, peace-loving Canadians who are called misogynist and racist by the Prime Minister.
00:37:41.000So again, I will ask the Prime Minister, who may I remind this House wore blackface on more times than he can remember, apologize to the peace-loving, patriotic Canadians who are outside right now just asking to be heard.
00:38:01.000So just to quickly summarize, she said, you know, he smeared these people, these peaceful protesters, a prime minister, and then you hear someone actually say, blackface prime minister.
00:38:10.000And then she says, a prime minister who's worn blackface more times than he can remember has the nerve to smear and insult these working class people.
00:38:18.000So when we hear these stories about how really bad China is and how it got to that point, we can see similar things happening here.
00:39:08.000In China, are there people who are from America going over there and being like, we've got to make sure China stays like China because it's becoming too much like America with freedom?
00:39:22.000Actually, I have seen the US consulate office staff and families wanting to leave China now because they cannot stand the zero COVID policy.
00:39:31.000But I mean, are there Americans who defected to China who love communism and want to live under that?
00:39:37.000Speaking in the media being like, America's terrible and China's so good.
00:39:54.000You do see though, if you turn on Chinese state media, so CGTV, they used to call it CCTV9, but they changed it to CGTV.
00:40:02.000You will see Westerners on there, American and British professors in some cases, who are going on that are delivering, you know, these essential CCP talking points on these things, talking about, oh, it's so great that China has the Olympics.
00:40:18.000You know, and you track it down and they had some like, you know, maybe adjunct assistant faculty position somewhere at some college that nobody's ever heard of.
00:40:28.000Yet when they go to China, they're they're feeded as this great American scholar.
00:40:38.000There is an actual elite merger going on.
00:40:41.000I mean, it isn't even just, you know, there was that Harvard professor who was Charles Lieber, who was finally convicted.
00:40:47.000He hasn't been sentenced yet, but you're seeing some of this stuff with MIT, the scientists at GSK who just got arrested in Philadelphia area, who are digging into, of course, monoclonal antibodies.
00:40:57.000So this has been going on more and more and more.
00:41:01.000And yeah, there are people who are doing it, but I don't necessarily know if they're doing it because they believe it or they're just being paid.
00:41:06.000Well, remember the Confucius Institute?
00:41:09.000How naive we were to allow a Chinese government-funded organization called Confucius Institute to go into our colleges, set up schools in middle school, high school, to teach our children about China and glorify China.
00:41:25.000And until they wake up, it's like 15 years later, they have infiltrated China, United States, Canada, Australia, and now you know what happened in Australia?
00:41:35.000And you got Hong Kong protesters, right, to support Hong Kong student movement, you got pro-Beijing people, and they were fighting in EU, and they're fighting in Australia, two sides are equal!
00:41:46.000It's like, wow, communists are in the Western democracy countries everywhere!
00:41:51.000I should just point out with people like LeBron James and Mark Cuban, and even I think Elon Musk has made some positive statements about China as well.
00:41:59.000Maybe they're not just in China, you know, going on Chinese shows and being like, man, you know, China's so great.
00:42:07.000And when I see China becoming more like America, I say, we have to stop this.
00:42:10.000We have to make, you know, but you have LeBron James, you have the NBA, you have American companies.
00:42:15.000So Elon, and I think I talked about this before last time I was on the show, he's got his Twitter and on his Twitter he'll be very, you know, he almost like libertarian sounding sometimes right on his Twitter account.
00:42:25.000But Elon's also got a WeChat account and WeChat and he's got a Weibo account.
00:42:30.000So these are, this is Chinese social media and he'll go on there and he's congratulating the CCP on their hundred year anniversary.
00:42:37.000He's congratulating the Chinese government.
00:42:39.000He's opening his new Tesla show showroom where In Xinjiang, in the actual province where the Uyghurs are all being locked up.
00:42:47.000So, you know, just something to show that, you know, he's clearly got a different message depending on which audience he's talking to.
00:42:53.000So what ends up happening here in the United States?
00:42:56.000Are we going to see active resistance?
00:42:59.000When we look over at Quebec, we have the trucker protests, we have the Freedom Convoy, they're pulling back the Vax Tax, they're worried about social cohesion.
00:43:06.000But there are some countries in Europe that are doubling down, like, you know, Austria, they've made the vaccine compulsory.
00:43:11.000I'm wondering, you know, what happens here in the United States?
00:43:15.000Because I just don't see, at this point, how you could possibly unite the left and the right.
00:43:31.000I can unite at least the people of New Hampshire and the country, because I'm the inconvenient minority who knows the strengths, exceptionally the United States, but also knows the division of society that caused by government and the media colluding together to divide people.
00:43:54.000But I mean, look, they say the funny point that was brought up to us in a super chat was that the left claims black people can't be racist, but Candace Owens is racist.
00:44:03.000I just feel like there is no compromising.
00:44:06.000And Whoopi Goldberg is perfectly fine.
00:44:09.000Roseanne Barr gets fired from her show for making an off-color joke.
00:44:13.000Whoopi Goldberg outright makes All we have to do is speak to people who are confused, independent, in the middle, that this kind of division is very dangerous to our country and our children because it's a typical communist tactic.
00:44:34.000Like, by Mao, he separated people into oppressor versus oppressed.
00:45:09.000No government pressure, no government investment, and no PCs?
00:45:13.000Like, no, look at the Xinhua News Agency.
00:45:16.000So we have to kind of I want to treat people with respect.
00:45:19.000I know both sides sometimes, I think, will need to tone down a little bit to say, I respect your opinions, even though I don't agree with you, but I'm willing to listen to you and have a conversation with you.
00:45:30.000Well, it's interesting because even these large social media companies in the organizations we refer to as big tech, many of them have investment from In-Q-Tel, which is actually a United States government-run venture capital firm.
00:45:41.000What I would like to ask you, Lily, is Have you had any success at reaching Americans who identified as communists or socialists as opposed to the people in the center?
00:46:54.000People from the DC area that are ultra-woke, far left, move out there specifically to get elected to school boards so they can start indoctrinating kids in conservative areas, in moderate areas, in apolitical areas.
00:47:06.000That's what they want to do. They want to spread that message.
00:47:08.000So you've got to pay attention to who these people are. You got to know who you're voting for.
00:47:11.000You got to vote local. You got to vote for your state rep, your state senator.
00:47:14.000You got to vote in the primaries because you're running in the primary.
00:47:18.000And if people want someone like you to win, they got to go out in the primaries to vote.
00:47:43.000We have to counter strike to say you are Marxist.
00:47:46.000Did you see that Ted Lieu tweeted at Ron DeSantis or whatever and he's like, it's not hard just to condemn Nazis, Ron.
00:47:53.000I saw that and I was just like, at this point, I don't think there is any unaffiliated person who is sitting there going like, wow, Ron DeSantis wouldn't condemn Nazis.
00:48:14.000Where is the person confused about this?
00:48:16.000I think what's going on though, and I think a lot of people are missing this, is that in all the talk about Ron DeSantis 2024, will he run, won't he run, is he going to go against Trump, etc., etc., a lot of what's been missing in that conversation is that Ron DeSantis is up for reelection this year in Florida.
00:48:32.000And so people are missing the fact that you are going to get psyoped by the media and by the left like you've never seen before in Florida.
00:48:42.000Now, remember, Ron only won by like one point, right, the last time around in 2018.
00:48:46.000Now, he wasn't as much of a household name back then as he is now.
00:48:51.000His approval ratings are much, much higher.
00:48:53.000And so, obviously, with the mood of the country, he should do quite well.
00:48:57.000But they are going to throw the absolute gauntlet at Ron DeSantis. So they're going to go, this is just the
00:49:25.000If they come at him and they actually end up winning Florida, then DeSantis could run in 2024.
00:49:31.000Maybe that's good for Republicans and populists or, or maybe you're right.
00:49:35.000And maybe what they want to do is they want, they want to take the governorship from him so that he says, okay, well now I'm free to run in 2024 and create a rift between him and the Trump and Trump and the support and the base.
00:49:45.000And maybe that's, you know, a chaos strategy.
00:49:47.000They will do anything they can to split up the populist movement.
00:49:52.000You're seeing people who are just spread.
00:49:54.000You're going to see, like Ron, by the way, what's the biggest, right?
00:49:57.000So the main, the main argument for Ron DeSantis, and I'm, I don't have like a dog in this fight.
00:50:01.000I'm not arguing one way or the other, but the main idea is they say, well, Trump has baggage and Ron doesn't.
00:50:05.000And, and, and Ron is effective and you know, people get turned off when they hear about Trump, but with Ron, he doesn't have that stuff.
00:50:12.000The point is to give him the baggage now.
00:50:16.000They want to bloody him up and dirty him up and destroy his Wikipedia page and do anything they can to just put as many marks on this guy before 2024.
00:50:25.000I think we have deeper problems than that.
00:50:28.000I don't know if that's going to matter as much.
00:51:26.000When I heard that, and we're in like a moderate area, it's like decently blue, and we're not far from DC, so it's fairly mixed politically, but with all of the smears they've thrown at him, with his Wikipedia page being completely fictitious, nonsensical op-eds saying Project Veritas is far-right, racist, conspiracy, whatever, The narrative control is gone.
00:51:49.000Do you see what they're doing now in Wikipedia?
00:51:51.000There's actually an argument right now on Wikipedia.
00:51:53.000Apparently there's a page called the Massacres of Communism.
00:52:20.000All the smears they've done on him and still regular people down the street are big fans of his.
00:52:24.000They didn't know who I was, they didn't watch the show, they didn't listen to podcasts, but they were familiar with Project Veritas and they loved it.
00:52:29.000I mean, look at the Epstein expose that Veritas did with Amy Roebuck or whatever her name is, Roebuck.
00:53:26.000We covered this the other day talking about the Great Honkening.
00:53:29.000The Toronto Sun was like, the trucker protest that are a bunch of far-right racist Nazi flag-waving people who stole food from the homeless.
00:53:50.000Like, to hear the media characterize them, that's what you'd think it was like, you know, hey, I'm gonna go be racist with my fellow truckers.
00:53:55.000Like, they have no other motivation besides trying to be horrible people.
00:53:58.000Fringe minority, they call this massive convoy, which is now spreading to all these other cities, which may be spreading to the U.S.
00:54:05.000I'm just saying, I feel like we're winning.
00:54:07.000And by we, it's such a massive and eclectic political group.
00:54:11.000I mean, you've got post-liberal, I guess they call it, people who used to be your traditional liberal now finding themselves politically homeless or more aligned with conservatives simply because they agree on fundamental human rights.
00:54:21.000You've got libertarians all of a sudden agreeing with conservatives on a bunch of issues.
00:54:25.000And it's because the establishment and the left are so insane that all these other groups have basically been like, hey, can we band together?
00:54:35.000The time for talk and time to discuss sometimes just becomes so hard to find now peacefully.
00:54:42.000I really prefer we use our constitutional republic system to choose your truly representative in D.C.
00:54:51.000so we don't have to Use our Second Amendment.
00:54:54.000Of course, that's something you cannot compromise.
00:54:56.000That's our last resort to fight for our freedom.
00:54:58.000But at the same time, every year you have local town elections for school board, for other council meetings, seated seats, and every two years you have congressional elections.
00:55:09.000People just have to get out of their comfort zone to take action.
00:55:13.000So if you just keep your head down, I can guarantee you it's not going to be over.
00:55:20.000The communists will I, you know, when it comes to Second Amendment and stuff, I don't think I have the same opinion as a lot of people who think, you know, one day you'll need to stand up for your rights.
00:56:08.000And, you know, the new mayor or whatever, politicians can say, no, no, no, no, no, but we said, and everyone would just be like, ah, shut up.
00:56:33.000So therefore, it's effectively unenforceable in many ways.
00:56:36.000I mean, you might get singled out, but depending on where your jurisdiction is, you're typically going to be like, your honor, I was four miles over the limit.
00:56:42.000He's going to get out of my courtroom.
00:56:44.000So cultural enforcement is the main issue we need to strive for, and that's why when I look at the failures of the attempts at smearing, when I look at the ratings collapse of CNN, when I look at the massive popularity of shows like Joe Rogan, I'm like, we win the message, we win everything.
00:57:00.000This is also why the trucker uprising.
00:57:04.000is such an inflection point right now because you're also it's also relevatory in a sense because they are actually taking action that is threatening to the regime they are quite literally holding up the backbone of our society and they are preventing the supply chain from being continued in certain areas and in key areas but You're noticing though, and I can look around, there's lots of people who run around calling themselves populist leaders, you see as a populist right, populist left, calling them conservatives, who aren't supporting the truckers or who are running around.
00:57:38.000This is, by the way, why Aaron O'Toole, who's the leader of the Conservative Party in Canada right now, just as an example, he's certainly not the only one, they're actually talking about taking away the head of the party from him because he's just not doing much to support the truckers.
00:57:51.000And I think this is absolutely revelatory situation where this is a litmus test actually right now.
00:57:58.000If you are not actively supporting the truckers, then what are you doing?
00:58:02.000Right? Really, what else are you doing other than saying, I need to support these guys?
00:58:07.000Because they are taking action that's being effective in real time.
00:58:13.000They turned it into a rave in Ottawa, right?
00:58:16.000They're not, yeah, okay, maybe there's like one or two nutjobs who show up where, you know, the guy's got a mask on carrying a Confederate flag, you know, who's even... They threw him out.
00:59:03.000There are not enough cops to actually stop a seriously large populist uprising.
00:59:08.000Like, during the May Day protests, there was something like 100,000—this is back during Occupy—there was like 100,000 people in 2012 marching down Broadway.
00:59:17.000And if all of them decided to just break social norms and go full Antifa, the city's gone.
00:59:52.000I just wanted to say, too, here, that the fact that they can't enforce it is another reason why it's so important to them to set the narrative.
00:59:58.000They want you to be opposed to this group.
01:00:00.000They want to turn the entire public against them because they know there's no way they're going to be able to enforce their will.
01:00:04.000Well, I want to say something that lots of people, because they live in fear, they're bought into the rhetoric of government and the media, they feel like, oh, government is good for public health and for society and broader common good.
01:00:20.000But that's exactly the same as the communists told us in China.
01:01:00.000And I'm just trying to wake up people to say, stay away from the media, go to alternative media and truth should give you the power and to set you free.
01:01:10.000And that way you can understand what is government mandate now.
01:01:13.000Oh, government mandate is not just a requirement.
01:01:26.000Look what happened to Australia, right?
01:01:28.000It's just that people have to understand government represents force against the regular citizens.
01:01:33.000You can choose to get a vaccine, but if you force somebody to get a vaccine, What is freedom about if you cannot even control what goes inside your body as medicine?
01:02:01.000And, uh, part of me wants to say, well, I don't know if I can trust this news outlet, but I gotta be honest, when I read the mainstream media, I often know that I can't trust them.
01:02:14.000They're reporting that Alberta towing companies are rejecting requests to supply trucks to the RCMP.
01:02:19.000Quote, a lot of these smaller companies don't want to ruin their reputation in the communities they serve, so they don't want to get involved.
01:02:41.000And if you read down the story, it does say that they actually were calling the tow truck companies directly to get quotes from them.
01:02:47.000And that they do have a few listed, you know, they said they talked to some people out of the Calgary area and they've got names and specifics involved in this.
01:02:54.000So, you know, it seems like pretty good reporting.
01:02:58.000But it's the same idea that, look, these guys are in the Calgary area, these tow truck companies, and they're saying, look, we work with the trucking industry on a regular basis, right?
01:03:07.000You're asking us essentially to go after our own customers and our friends and our partners.
01:03:12.000and our B2B contracts that we've got and that we would obviously relationships that we don't want
01:03:16.000to art to have, you know, to injure. And so we're not going to take this work and we just don't
01:03:22.000want to get involved. And, you know, the Mounties are saying, come and get them. So then the Mounties
01:03:26.000are going to turn around and say, well, wait a minute, you know, what do we do? Like, how do we
01:03:29.000get rid of all the trucks, even if they go in, certainly they can arrest all the truckers,
01:04:16.000So sure, you've got these big rigs that are pulling into the city and they're honking their horns.
01:04:21.000But if the cop walks up to one of these rigs, say like an Ottawa who's honking the horn or who's on the highway and they say, hey, everyone's got to get out of here.
01:04:50.000Also, the fact that truckers have this kind of power when they protested, and power that we never considered.
01:04:57.000I mean, so we all understand that they deliver the food to us, they're incredibly important, but everything you're mentioning about the fact that you couldn't tow them, Tim, what you're saying about the fact that the police could never really enforce a suppression of their protest because you can't determine intention in that way, it just goes to show that For all the leverage that they've had, the fact that this is the first time that they're actually speaking out and having a protest of this sort really speaks, A, to their collective character, and B, to the fact that they're probably right about this.
01:05:24.000This isn't a group of people that's constantly fretting and trying to get their way.
01:05:28.000This is a serious issue, and they're saying, can we please be taken seriously as valued members of society and be allowed to determine what is put into our own bodies?
01:05:51.000And they're not doing it because that would probably piss off too many regular people.
01:05:55.000Imagine if on all of the two-lane highways across the United States, two truckers just went 20 miles under the speed limit and drove side by side.
01:06:38.000First of all, imagine if they just said, I'm not driving today.
01:06:42.000So nobody brings food if they did a general strike.
01:06:44.000Imagine if they were like, I'll drive, but we're going to drive real slow.
01:06:48.000There's so much they could do, they're choosing not to do it.
01:06:50.000Well, and think about too, and Trudeau even has, I found his tweet the other day, you know, he had hashtag thank a trucker the other day, because so think about it, all of the blue city leftists that have been supporting lockdown policies for all of this time, because they've got their sinecures, they're making their money, right, they're all still getting paid for sitting at home doing nothing.
01:07:12.000They're getting, you know, they're getting their Netflix.
01:07:14.000The reason that they have supplies, their entire lifestyle was upheld that entire time because simply because, to your point, truckers never went off the job.
01:07:42.000And it's those same, to end my point, it's those same exact people who are attacking the very people that allowed you to be able to live through those lockdowns when you were living lives of luxury for an entire year.
01:08:09.000You know, when you have the small handful of actual reporters, people like Matt Taibbi, for instance, and what Rebel News is doing there on the ground, that's essential reporting.
01:08:19.000But CNN's panels about Donald Trump during COVID, please.
01:08:22.000You know, these truckers in Canada actually remind me, remember not long ago we had the Southwest Pilots calling sick, cancel results, right?
01:08:30.000It's their, you know, peaceful way to also protest.
01:08:47.000What had happened was the mandates had stressed the workforce to the point where they were just individually saying, I'm going to call in sick today.
01:08:56.000So it wasn't like anyone organized anything.
01:08:58.000You know, when I was being told by this guy, he was like, listen, the idea that there's an organized protest means that there's a lot of people who are just following the leader.
01:09:04.000but this is actually grassroots. When they announced the vaccine mandates, a lot of
01:09:08.000employees just said, okay, I'm gonna use up what sick time I have left and I'm done.
01:09:12.000So all of these people calling and saying, disrupting everything. Well,
01:09:15.000the media was correct. It wasn't a mass protest. It was worse. The system was collapsing.
01:09:20.000Yeah, could be individual just to start to resist and stress out
01:09:24.000It's like, I don't feel like going to work anymore, you know, and that's the beauty of it.
01:10:06.000So you're going to see, by the way, a lot of the, you know, for if there's collective bargaining that goes on, they're going to be getting paid and you're going to see, I do think you're going to see a lot of people now looking out at this and saying, you know what?
01:10:17.000That doesn't actually look like a bad life, you know, right?
01:10:27.000You learn the basic mechanics of being able to operate a big rig.
01:10:30.000You go out there and it basically is if you are willing to spend that much time on the road, but hey, you get to listen to long form podcasts like Timcast IRR.
01:11:20.000So one thing I was sort of touching on and wanted to get into a little bit here is the fact that for as unbelievably powerful and important truckers are as a collective group, the fact that we have not heard as much from them as a force as you tend to hear from other unions and worker organizations and groups of people in this country.
01:11:38.000And I don't know that it's so much the case that truckers just realized how important they are now.
01:11:43.000I think they've known, but this is one of the professions where people still genuinely care about the contribution they're making to society rather than just what they're taking home in terms of money.
01:11:52.000And also I have to say this, another reason why I do genuinely believe that they care about what they're doing, they care about what they're providing, and they tend to be more down-to-earth people, is because this is one of the few professions where you can support a family that does not require a college education.
01:12:07.000And that means these people are not going off to these institutions to be brainwashed with all these ridiculous ideas and coming out as communists.
01:12:14.000And look at how the establishment left smears and insults people who don't have college degrees.
01:12:30.000It's from Stone Toss, and I love how the left really, really despises Stone Toss.
01:12:34.000I don't know much about him other than there's comics on the internet, and one's good.
01:12:37.000And it's a leftist being like, you know, the workers of the world unite, and then it's a right-wing guy, and he's wearing a cross, and he's like, all right, I'm in!
01:12:46.000And then the leftist is like, no, no thanks, not you.
01:12:52.000This is by the way where you get Marxist Leninism comes out of Marxism and then eventually Maoism came out of that because the problem that Lenin realized in Trotsky early on was that the workers just weren't revolting against the government the way that that Marx had intended for them to do with historic progression.
01:13:11.000And so The realization that Lenin had was that Marx missed something, that you need this revolutionary vanguard that can lead them through.
01:13:20.000And I'm actually reading about halfway done, Piotr Wrangel's Always with Honor.
01:13:29.000So, you know, my background's more in China, Chinese Civil War, Cultural Revolution.
01:13:34.000But I said, you know what, you know, Russia is actually where it happened first.
01:13:37.000And so Mystery Grove Publishing is doing their book, you know, they're bringing it's actually his autobiography, his memoirs that have come forward.
01:13:45.000And it's amazing, number one, because he's a great writer.
01:13:47.000It's just he's really good at writing, you know, giving a narrative.
01:13:51.000But also he explains that the Bolsheviks of their time, it was exactly the same as what we're living through now.
01:14:50.000Yeah Yeah, you go, but I wanted to ask Lily a question in a moment.
01:14:54.000There's a viral video on Reddit right now because on Reddit, a whole bunch of leftist extremist forums are becoming increasingly popular, like Late Stage Capitalism, Anti-Work, Work Reform.
01:15:04.000They're overtly communist, but there's a video going viral of a guy explaining how capitalism is modern slavery.
01:15:09.000I don't know if this guy, he's got a podcast where he talks about capitalism being evil.
01:15:16.000I don't know if he's just an evil guy who's lying to seize power.
01:15:20.000You know, he wants to convince people to support a cult ideology, or if he's just really dumb.
01:15:24.000But he said, he's like, You will never be paid what you're worth.
01:15:30.000You have to be paid less than you produce for the employer, who is your feudal lord, who takes the excess of your labor and steals it, and I'm just like, and you can choose to quit, and then you can choose to start your own business, and then you can become a lord, whereas in feudalism, you couldn't, whereas in these other countries with slavery, you couldn't just leave that position.
01:15:51.000But this is, right, this is the essential link between communism and capitalism that nobody likes to discuss because both are two sides of the same coin of materialism.
01:16:05.000Is that if you are basing your entire system around material goods and material wealth, then you're going to find one system or another that
01:16:15.000supports it or supports the reallocation of it in terms of socialism.
01:16:18.000Whereas if you look at capitalism as a tool, right?
01:16:22.000So, okay, we like free enterprise, right?
01:16:25.000We want free enterprise, but that doesn't mean that the economy, the needs of the economy, the needs of the GDP
01:16:30.000should come at the, you know, should be given priority over the needs of families or over the needs of people that
01:16:38.000That's why our country has been hollowed out the way it's been because of this merger between us and the CCP that's been going on for 30 years.
01:16:45.000That's why the jobs have been shipped overseas.
01:16:47.000And there was someone on a podcast recently who was saying that it's actually a good thing that American jobs were all shipped over to China and all of the wealth was shipped over to China.
01:16:55.000And that's ridiculous because what that did was it empowered the CCP, it funded the growth of the Chinese military through American FDI.
01:17:06.000And Lily, you and I were talking earlier about how the city of Shanghai that you know, the area across the river Pudong has gone in 30 years from being, you know, farmland into one of the most built up financial capitals of the world.
01:18:16.000Matty Hassan then says congrats to Newsweek opinionators Josh Hammer and Bungar Sargon for their ongoing struggle to mainstream and normalize the conspiracist far-right in this country.
01:18:28.000Now what I just want to mention, we were talking about earlier is how they keep trying to do this, this smear of calling someone a Nazi, far right or whatever.
01:18:36.000And just like here we are sitting with Jack Posobiec, who's a nice guy who talks about politics and not once have I heard him espouse anything in any way supportive of any of these groups.
01:18:45.000I actually talked about, and it's funny to hear Mehdi Hassan say that because Mehdi Hassan was a presenter for Al Jazeera for many many years and has spoken out against, he made his bones in in reporting and later at Huffington Post speaking out against Islamophobia.
01:18:59.000Well Mehdi, if you had actually taken the time to read the words that I wrote in Newsweek, there's actually a whole section in there about the concentration camps of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang that But maybe something where we could actually agree on.
01:19:18.000Calling you these names like a neo-Nazi collaborator.
01:19:22.000It's just, I don't believe any regular person, any, any, you know, you, you, you go knock on a random door and you shout to them, they're going to go, Oh, shut up.
01:19:30.000Like, I just don't believe these people anymore.
01:19:32.000Like, you go to a local house of a guy who's not in politics, and he's gonna read that and be like, I don't believe it.
01:19:37.000You look at Mehdi Hassan, who's now pushing the same narrative, but like you said, he didn't even read what you wrote.
01:19:41.000It's the same thing with the Joe Rogan story.
01:19:44.000I love the meme going around where it's like, Joe Rogan spreading misinformation.
01:20:38.000It took me, you know, Seconds of time to search this up.
01:20:43.000NBC signed an $8 billion contract with the International Olympic Committee to be their exclusive host for the Olympics all the way through 2032.
01:20:54.000And then the exclusive streaming service of the Olympics is so strange.
01:21:00.000Peacock TV, the exact same place where Mehdi Hassan has his streaming service.
01:21:05.000So it's so strange to me that Such a coincidence that they would send this guy out with 8 billion reasons to come out.
01:21:14.000It's like, they used to actually have front groups for this sort of thing.
01:21:18.000Now they're just doing it in the open.
01:22:22.000There's a tweet that's going viral where a guy says, in Germany we have a saying, if there's a neo-Nazi sitting at a table and 10 people at the table talking to him, you have 11 Nazis.
01:22:55.000They want to shut down any kind of discussions, conversations by name calling.
01:22:59.000Well, Lily, let me ask you a question.
01:23:02.000When Chairman Mao launched his anti-rightist campaign, what was every person who spoke out, if you spoke out against the Great Leap Forward, and you said, hey, there's millions of people who are dying of famine in the countryside, what were you labeled?
01:23:19.000Well, you will lose your job, you will get locked up.
01:23:23.000That's why people don't understand when you say CCP dictatorship means all the leaders in China are not elected by people.
01:23:33.000They are appointed by the upper nine Communist Party officials.
01:23:36.000So they naturally want to cover it up.
01:23:39.000So when people die of starvation during the Great Leap Forward in the 50s, estimate 50 million people died.
01:23:46.000But they don't want to report that to the central government because local government officials can lose their jobs.
01:24:19.000So they would so officially and they would and they would conduct the struggle sessions and it would be around your neck.
01:24:24.000You would be labeled a right wing extremist for saying there were people dying and can of famine and committing even in some cases cannibalism in the countryside just so they could survive.
01:24:43.000I've seen college students in America march down the street doing the Red Salute.
01:24:47.000So Lily, speaking of college students and these types of people, one question I want to ask you, Lily, is prior to the Maoist revolution, did you know people who were leftists or communists, or was it just a very well-organized small minority that ended up infiltrating and taking over?
01:25:02.000Were the people calling for this, or how did this happen?
01:26:20.000I had lots of very depressive, totally soul-lost moments in my life until I came to this country.
01:26:26.000You were telling us last time you were here that you had to lie to try and get out of the country and pretend that you lied and claimed you would come back.
01:26:33.000Yeah, everything has to be PC because you need the permission of the party to quit your job.
01:27:35.000They kick you a personnel file to your hometown, which is Chengdu, Sichuan.
01:27:41.000Because if you live, work in Shanghai, you must have your personnel file to go with your job.
01:27:46.000But if you don't go back on time, they kick your file back to Chengdu.
01:27:50.000So that means I There's no hope I can go back to Shanghai and live there as a legal resident, have a benefit, because that ties to your benefits.
01:27:58.000So I guess Tiananmen Square, that political asylum status kind of, you know, give to every Chinese student.
01:28:04.000So I was okay later to go back to China.
01:28:07.000But I had to cancel my trip in 2019 because I was threatened.
01:28:11.000How dare you speak bad about your motherland in the United States?
01:28:26.000My family, my extended relatives, one brother, three uncles, one aunt, and cousins.
01:28:32.000I met some people who traveled through North Korea and they told me that if there is like a small town or village and they have a cow and the cow dies, they can't touch it.
01:28:43.000They have to call the local military officer who is, you know, appointed to come and take the cow to be distributed evenly among the country for everybody.
01:28:51.000If you take it to eat because you're starving, they put you in the work camps or they outright kill you and execute your family.
01:28:58.000So it's just, you know, You don't know every day every minute you could be breaking the law that's how bad when you talk about oppressive regime it's just people have no rights you are treated like some animals without human dignity everything you say everything you do you are criminal
01:29:17.000I'd hate to see America becoming like that way.
01:30:48.000So you can get bailed out if you're a violent criminal and burn stuff and looting property.
01:30:53.000Somebody will raise $23 million for you to get out.
01:30:56.000You come out, you commit another crime, you kill more people.
01:30:59.000But those people, January 6th, you know, they're still in jail.
01:31:04.000Lily, and I think the exact reason for that is because, unfortunately, most Americans don't value the principles upon which this nation was founded as much as you do, as a citizen.
01:31:14.000And I think the ones who do value it are too complacent to actually do anything about it.
01:31:20.000So they bought into the media rhetoric.
01:31:45.000He said a lot of the people who, when they were brought away by the guards, They would say, oh, well, they were asked to come.
01:31:52.000They say, well, I'll just go down because this is a big mistake, and I know I didn't do anything wrong, so I'll go down and explain things, and they never came home.
01:31:58.000But we were talking about fundraising a second ago, and I don't know if you guys have seen the story that Andrew Kerr, I believe he's at the Washington Examiner now, has been reporting about BLM and the donations of BLM.
01:32:11.000And the fact that they walked out of 2020 with $60 million in the bank.
01:32:17.000And we remember that in the wake of the George Floyd video going viral, there were companies just throwing literally throwing money at BLM.
01:32:26.000But Andrew Kerr is actually doing the work now.
01:32:28.000And I think he even went to their registered address in Los Angeles and is trying to figure out, Hey, so who's in charge of the money, right?
01:32:35.000Who's in charge of like, who are the actual fiduciary stakeholders here?
01:32:39.000Who is responsible for the $60 million?
01:32:42.000He can't because we saw people, Patrice Cullors and others have resigned from BLM.
01:32:46.000So who's actually in charge of the money?
01:32:48.000He can't find anyone who's in charge of it.
01:32:51.000Didn't he say the address wasn't even legit?
01:32:53.000Like he went there and there was nothing there?
01:32:54.000Right, and the guy said, they've never been here.
01:32:56.000And then they said, well, hold on, but we appointed two people to serve as the new runners, the new chairman of BLM.
01:33:04.000But then he went and interviewed those people and they said, oh yeah, they appointed us, but we never accepted.
01:33:12.000That's $60 million of fraud right there.
01:33:15.000And so if that's all true and he's by the way he's saying that I think I think the state AG is actually opening up an investigation into this because that that's straight up nonprofit fraud if that's what's going on.
01:33:27.000All right, we gotta go to Super Chats.
01:33:29.000So ladies and gentlemen, if you haven't already, smash the honk button.
01:34:08.000It says, join the city urban liberal types.
01:34:10.000And then spelled down, it says, join the cult.
01:34:12.000And then it's our version of the meme where the guys are like, you know, soy mouthing and pointing behind them, and the city's on fire and being destroyed by Godzilla and aliens.
01:35:43.000And they had multi-barrel guns that could simulate full-auto.
01:35:46.000So my issue is, if a private citizen could own a frigate with a massive cannon volley system, whatever, with great shot and all that stuff, and they commissioned privateers, why wouldn't an American citizen be allowed to have their own SAM site?
01:36:03.000Here's my stand, that Second Amendment in the past, you know, of course, before we had all the modern technology, all the modern, you know, machines, you know, arms that only talk about guns.
01:36:15.000But what if someday the guns are no longer very effective and useful to protect your life, property, and liberty?
01:37:18.000My point is more so if you want to restrict the rights of American citizens to have the same weapons that governments have, you need to amend the Constitution.
01:37:29.000Well, the other thing that I love that the Constitution doesn't say is, by the way, special asterisk that we found.
01:37:35.000I guess Nicholas Cage could find it at the bottom of the Bill of Rights.
01:38:24.000So the point is, at what point did we just become a civilization, a society that says only the ultimate, you know, ultra-powered authoritarians are allowed to wield the most powerful weapons?
01:38:36.000The point of the Second Amendment was that to secure a free state, the people need to bear arms.
01:38:41.000It didn't say, except cannons, and except large warships.
01:39:26.000I mean, and this kind of gets into what you were saying earlier about Xinhua in China, that essentially they are a government-run enterprise.
01:39:32.000I mean, I don't think you can realistically look at a company like Boeing and say that they're not a state-related enterprise.
01:40:24.000Could you imagine what these, like, these hipster city urban liberal types would be doing if the truckers stopped delivering avocados to them?
01:40:30.000Well, this is what they always talk about when people say, you know, if we go into a post-apocalyptic scenario, that the cities won't be able to feed themselves.
01:40:41.000Well, of course they won't be able to feed themselves because they're fed through trucks right now, right?
01:40:45.000If you are eating, it came from a farm.
01:40:47.000If you are eating in a city, it came on a truck.
01:42:10.000That would be a career ender for anyone who wasn't on the left.
01:42:13.000American identity politics is essentially reductionist.
01:42:17.000It's totally reductionist because if you go to any of these, if you go to Europe or you go to Asia, obviously they view it as separate races.
01:42:26.000Well, also, I mean, this idea of, like, race and dividing people into black and white is much more modern, probably, I don't know, between the 1500s and 1700s.
01:42:34.000But historically, people have always divided themselves up based on their language, culture, and borders.
01:42:39.000So ethnicity has been a much more meaningful distinction for virtually all of history.
01:42:44.000And you notice that Whoopi, when she went on Colbert, she tried to say that, but it just didn't come out at all.
01:43:49.000It's a comic but they made a movie of it where it's a reimagining of Superman where his ship crash lands in the Soviet Union and then he ends up becoming a communist.
01:44:00.000It's really interesting, it is, the way they view it.
01:44:03.000He basically witnesses the Holodomor, and then goes and confronts Stalin, and Stalin tells him, in this system, some people have to die.
01:44:11.000So then Superman goes, very wise words, and then executes Stalin on the spot, and then becomes the dictator who takes over.
01:44:32.000It's kind of a crazy thing for a fictional show to do.
01:44:34.000To put your cartoon characters into one of the worst genocides in human history?
01:44:39.000That being said, though, who else is actually talking about that stuff?
01:44:44.000When Stalin explains the motivation behind the Holodomor, and Superman is like, yup, and then kills him and takes over, I'm like, And on to be fairly Captain America fights the Nazis and stuff too.
01:44:57.000But this is a reimagining of Superman's story as if he was raised in the Soviet Union.
01:45:01.000It's actually really interesting because... It came out, the graphic novel I believe came out in the 90s.
01:45:19.000I don't want to spoil anything, but let's just say, like, it's gory, to put it mildly.
01:45:25.000You look at the Marvel stuff, and it's very family-friendly, but then, you know, I watch the Justice League stuff, and it's... We just saw the new, um, the new Scream, actually, and it's extremely gory.
01:45:49.000It is gory, just the same way the original one was gory.
01:45:51.000It may even be a little bit more gory than the original Scream, but it's even something where, because like Tanya had never seen the Scream movies before, my wife, and because she's born in the Soviet Union, And she watched this one and they explained enough of the original that you don't need to have watched any of the regular ones before you see this.
01:47:21.000Lost Valley says, I finally unsubscribed from Philip DeFranco after 12 years because I couldn't stand the leftist elitist talking points he spouts every day.
01:47:59.000Well, there was a comment that Rolling Stone apparently reported back in the 80s when AIDS was coming out where, and they reported that Neil Young said something that I probably can't even repeat a little bit while we're on this one.
01:48:14.000We can talk about it in- Brutally almost, like it was like- We'll talk about it in the next hour, but it is bad.
01:48:20.000I've heard some bad stuff, but if this quote is real, I was like, man, this is like That's a brutal thing.
01:48:25.000And I'll give Neil Young the benefit of the doubt, because this is Rolling Stone, and I do not believe anything that is just printed in mainstream media.
01:49:03.000Watch Dr. J. Peterson's Canadian Constitutional Crisis.
01:49:07.000Brian Peckford, the last living premier who wrote the Canadian Charter of Rights in 1982, is suing the government for violating every Canadian's rights.
01:49:33.000I think if you were to ask the question, is it better to have, like, a really good, solid president like him or 50 really good, solid governors?
01:49:40.000I think anyone would say 50 good, solid governors.
01:49:42.000And it's a question of, like, all right, well, what if it's 25?
01:49:46.000I think ultimately Florida needs him really badly right now and I think he's a fantastic example for other people who want to be effective and popular as political leaders to look to and emulate in their own state.
01:49:57.000The DeSantis model clearly is the winning model.
01:50:51.000They'll find some tweet you liked or something and they will go nuts because, as you said before, you represent a huge problem for their agenda.
01:51:25.000So whatever they attack on me, don't want to have a conversation with me, I always will smile and have a conversation.
01:51:31.000But if they just call me bad names, I think I only make them look like Nazis.
01:51:35.000You know what I was saying about a lot of these people who are coming up from the southern border?
01:51:39.000I have infinitely more respect for the people trying to enter the country illegally through the southern border because they love this country more than many of the people who live here.
01:51:49.000Granted, they'd be better off entering legally.
01:51:51.000I don't respect the fact that they would disrespect the country by breaking its border.
01:51:56.000But there's something still within those people where they're like, they look at the American flag and they dream of being there because of opportunity.
01:52:10.000Imagine if, you know, when we, we, we open our doors to immigration and through a legal process, we'd be bringing in all the people who really, really want to be here and love this place.
01:52:20.000But the problem is the people who are here who hate this place are making it worse, making it more like the communist, you know, Are you suggesting a trade?
01:52:27.000Have you ever seen somebody from America want to escape and cut barbed wire to go to another side?
01:52:31.000weird thing is that these people don't want to leave.
01:52:34.000They hate America but they won't leave.
01:52:36.000Have you ever seen somebody from America want to escape and cut the barbed wire to go to
01:53:28.000You cannot have open borders and a welfare state.
01:53:30.000So legal immigration is a way, and I'm a pro-immigration, but I'm pro-legal immigration because American people have some kind of say, you know, what kind of people they want to come here, and they want security too.
01:53:44.000But here's something also crazy about legal immigration.
01:53:48.000Let's say, example, my brother, I petitioned for him to come to this country.
01:53:52.000After I become citizen, he waited 13 years.
01:53:56.000If I was a Mexican, he would wait for 19 years.
01:54:01.000That's why you give people incentive to come from southern border when it's wide open, because who has lifetime to wait for the legal immigration opportunity?
01:54:10.000And it's a vicious cycle because part of the reason it takes so long for people like you who want to go through the system and the legal process to get here, part of the reason it takes you so long is because of all the people skipping in line and coming into the country without permission.
01:54:21.000Right, that's not fair at all because, you know, I think we need to really have a good conversation about immigration.
01:54:28.000But right now, without a secure border, it's chaotic and it's a national security threat.
01:54:33.000And you give incentive to the human traffickers, drug dealers, could be even the terrorists sneaking in from the southern border.
01:54:55.000We got Diane Prokop says, would be so grateful for a shout out of my children's book on friendship, Lunar New Year and the Endangered Chinese River Dolphin.
01:56:35.000I just gotta, I gotta go get a pack of smokes.
01:56:39.000There were actually like instances in church history of a group of people rising up and deciding that like one person should be their bishop.
01:57:03.000There's one recently in the 1980s in Poland where they wanted this guy who was sort of mediating between the Solidarity Union and the communists.
01:57:11.000And one of the leaders had actually met with John Paul II and said, hey, my local bishop should be a Cardinal.
01:57:20.000And John Paul II just starts laughing.
01:57:23.000The one I'm thinking of, and I wish I could remember the name, but the guy was not even a priest at the time.
01:57:27.000And they're like, we need him to be our bishop, and they ordained him and made him the bishop.
01:57:42.000But, but the fact that the truckers show restraint and not shutting everything down whenever they don't get their way is like, I think Seamus, you said it's indicative of their more of their, their moral character.
01:58:55.000Like if you're going to talk about one group of people that have strong political power within their profession, it's like, yeah, truckers.
01:59:01.000Well, this is why Biden and every politician that shuts down fracking, it's a direct assault on truckers.
01:59:07.000Because I remember this coming from Pennsylvania, you know, talking to people from that Northern tier or the Western part where the Marcella shale was found that it, I remember sitting with a trucker once and he was telling me that like, He said I can make as much as I do now hauling in one day in my local just area where I can take my kids to school in the morning and now I can be home with them in the evening and I can make as much as I do now thanks to fracking.
01:59:36.000I used to be on the road for a week doing this.
01:59:39.000And so that's why fracking is actually such a huge issue for those parts of Pennsylvania, for Ohio.
01:59:44.000It would be huge in New York because New York State has the Marcellus Shale underneath it, but no governor is allowing the development of this.
01:59:52.000That's why the trucking industry and then you get the secondary and tertiary benefits of that through it.
01:59:58.000The same deal if we were able to open up Alaska more.
02:00:00.000I was just up at the northern shelf there.
02:00:30.000I think we should talk about the Whoopi Goldberg thing for the member segment because it's gonna get real spicy talking about World War II.
02:01:00.000Have you guys ever seen the Family Guy joke about The View?
02:01:03.000They're all just clucking, and they're bawking, and then all of a sudden, one of the women goes, and stands up and there's an egg, and then the camera zooms in on the egg while they're all bawking.
02:01:13.000I just thought it was a really well-done joke.
02:01:15.000They would never do that joke again, though.
02:01:17.000It's just the women at The View going, And then they're surprised they laid an egg, and they're all bucking louder and yelling about it.
