00:10:24.000She dropped after she lost 14 states yesterday.
00:10:30.000Yesterday instead of doing the show I did a Super Tuesday primary election coverage It was pretty uneventful because we all knew what was going to happen it was nearly a perfect sweep for Trump 14 out of 15 and The big question which wasn't answered until this morning was whether that would force Haley out of the race and eventually it did so
00:11:03.000I'll just talk a little bit in general about the state of the race.
00:11:07.000We'll also be talking tonight about President Trump's comments about Israel today.
00:11:14.000Very disappointing, not surprising, but very sad.
00:11:19.000He said that Israel needs to finish the job against Hamas, which is one of the first times he's weighed in on the conflict since it started.
00:11:30.000I mean, he's talked about it a little bit, but not a lot.
00:11:34.000And this war has been going on for how many months now?
00:11:46.000No, about, yeah, a little more than five months.
00:11:49.000But today, he gave full support for the imminent invasion of Rafah from Israel, and that is specifically, I think, what he was referring to.
00:11:59.000And we touched on this, I think, on Monday or last week, but the last major battle in the Gaza campaign will be in the southern city of Rafah.
00:12:12.000And the entire international community, including and specifically, especially, Israel's Arab neighbors are warning Israel not to go in, because this may be the most casualties, the most bloody, and probably will drive a significant number of Palestinian refugees out of the Gaza Strip forever, many of them into the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt.
00:12:36.000So the entire world has been warning Israel and discouraging Israel from going in.
00:12:42.000Netanyahu has made it clear that he is fully prepared to do it anyway.
00:12:49.000And today Trump said they have to finish the job.
00:12:54.000I think the implication is he's giving full support not just to Netanyahu and this sustained campaign, but specifically this final major push
00:13:04.000Which is universally condemned on the entire planet.
00:13:10.000Which sucks, but I think that's the price for him to return to the White House.
00:13:15.000I think that's been the basis of his support maybe from the very beginning.
00:13:49.000And I'll get into my thoughts on why that is.
00:13:51.000I talked a little bit about that on Telegram today.
00:13:55.000But it just doesn't hit the same because it was never a real challenge and certainly it was never even a serious candidacy since she was defeated in New Hampshire by double digits.
00:14:08.000So this, as far as I'm concerned, was waiting for the other shoe to drop.
00:14:52.000I already have a taste for McDonald's or something but yeah I'm really famished right now stomach's growling but that's okay okay but we're just gonna do it I'm gonna fly through it and I'll eat at the end of the show but anyway before we get into the news I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble and Cozy to get a push notification whenever I go live
00:15:19.000Make sure to smash the follow button and make sure to follow me on Telegram as well.
00:16:46.000But we did the coverage last night and not a lot of people I mean it was decent viewership But nothing compared to New Hampshire and Iowa just because I don't think anyone really cares for that reason And it was a short stream too because nothing even happened.
00:17:02.000It's like they called every state for Trump.
00:20:33.000A lot of people lay the blame at the feet of Donald Trump.
00:20:38.000They say that it was his fault because he made the midterm cycle about election fraud in 2020.
00:20:46.000And his name itself had become a liability in the party.
00:20:50.000And so, you could say that November to December 2022, that was maybe the lowest point for Trump in the post-presidency.
00:21:03.000He had, like I said, been censored on all social media and therefore lost a significant platform.
00:21:10.000Many were questioning if his brand was even still viable in the GOP.
00:21:15.000Some were saying it was completely toxic.
00:21:19.000That was the high watermark for alternatives like Ron DeSantis mainly, but even other people as well like Tucker Carlson or maybe Nikki Haley at one time.
00:21:30.000A lot of people said that the Republican base was looking for Trumpism without Trump, without the name, without the toxic political baggage, without all of the fallout and aftermath from January 6th.
00:21:46.000But of course something happened just before the midterms which prefigured the next inflection point.
00:21:54.000Of course in August 2022 there was the massive raid at Mar-a-Lago.
00:21:59.000And the raid of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 gave Trump a temporary boost in the early polls for the Republican primary for 2024, created this rally-around-the-flag effect, and that built the case for the eventual DOJ charge in the documents case.
00:22:19.000But that was... that heralded the second win that Trump got later.
00:22:25.000But it's easy to forget where Trump was in that stretch.
00:22:30.0002021, he leaves office significantly diminished.
00:22:35.000Lost his platform, I think lost a lot of the prestige, lost this facade of invulnerability or that mirage, that illusion of invincibility that he had.
00:22:47.000Many of his allies had abandoned him, mounting legal criminal problems.
00:22:52.000And then in 2022 it was really a decisive political defeat in the midterms.
00:22:58.000And I think his great mistake is that he owned the midterms.
00:23:13.000But they foisted the blame for that onto Trump and they said his fixation with 2020 and his demand that people out of loyalty talk about that on the campaign trail, which was seen as highly contentious.
00:23:29.000November 2022 he's blamed for this red wave that never arrived.
00:23:35.000He gives this announcement speech a few weeks later at Mar-a-Lago, which was, I was extremely critical of it.
00:23:52.000I talked to people that were in the know.
00:23:54.000They said they couldn't raise any money for him.
00:23:56.000All the big money backers like Ken Griffin from Wall Street and the Jewish lobby like Sheldon Adelson's estate and many others had flipped to DeSantis.
00:24:05.000DeSantis was exploding in the polls at one point.
00:24:42.000And that was not the follow-up to the raid at Mar-a-Lago, but of course it's part of the gauntlet, the legal gauntlet, the lawfare that they've been waging against him since he, before he got in office the first time, but which had since intensified after he left office in 2021.
00:25:05.000There was that echo of Mar-a-Lago, of course far more significant, far more severe.
00:25:11.000It was the first time a former president had ever been charged.
00:25:18.000Arguably, that was the beginning of the end of the primary for everybody else.
00:25:23.000If there was ever a chance, if there ever really was, and that is an open-ended question, I don't think it's actually cut and dry, if there was a viable alternative, but after March, there wasn't.
00:25:37.000After the Manhattan Charges came out there, just, it was never going to be a race.
00:25:43.000Then, of course, you have the Manhattan charges, you have the DOJ charges, the Fulton County charges, the whole spade of them.
00:25:53.000And then, of course, Ron DeSantis announces in May it was a complete disaster.
00:25:59.000He announces on X with Elon Musk and David Sachs.
00:26:03.000There's all kinds of technical difficulties.
00:26:05.000And his campaign is a disaster for two months.
00:26:08.000I mean, it's a disaster throughout the month of May, June, July.
00:26:12.000And I don't remember the first piece, but it started to be written in July 2023 that it was a failure to launch.
00:26:22.000That his polling numbers were declining, not getting better.
00:26:26.000That becoming a national figure was going poorly for him.
00:26:31.000He was introducing himself to a national audience and people didn't like him.
00:26:35.000Literally, he came across as weird and cold and out of touch.
00:26:42.000And it reminded people what Trump had, because he lacked it.
00:26:47.000For all the people, if there ever was an outcry for a Trumpism without Trump, DeSantis, lacking what Trump had, reminded everybody what they took for granted in Trump.
00:27:00.000They said, oh, that is, you know, that's what Trumpism without the Trump looks like.
00:27:06.000Now we remember why we like Trump, and not just the Trumpism.
00:27:11.000Because Ron DeSantis showed it to us because he lacked that critical ingredient.
00:27:25.000There was a distinct period between, I would say, the release of the Manhattan charges, the unsealing of those charges with the DA there, which was a corporate FEC matter, and the failure to launch, and the widespread recognition that that is what had happened by July.
00:27:43.000It was that four-month period that is where the race was decided.
00:27:47.000Everything since then was really merely a formality.
00:27:51.000Trump never attended one of the debates, like I said.
00:27:55.000DeSantis never recovered in the polling.
00:27:57.000Haley never came close, not nationally.
00:28:00.000Nobody was ever doing good in the polling at that point in any of the battleground states.
00:28:08.000And so by January, there had been 5 or 6 debates, or whatever it was.
00:28:15.000Almost the entire field had dropped out.
00:28:18.000And just as the polls and all the conventional wisdom and all the unconventional wisdom had suggested, yeah, as prophesied, Trump won in a landslide in Iowa.
00:28:29.000As predicted, and DeSantis dropped out because that's where he spent all his money.
00:28:34.000And so he had no better shot of winning in the middle of January this year than he did, arguably, in May of last year when he announced.
00:28:43.000It was just something that needed to actualize and come to fruition, but there was no surprise.
00:28:49.000And then, two weeks later, Trump dominated in New Hampshire and completely destroyed Nikki Haley, as the polls predicted, as the conventional and unconventional wisdom
00:29:00.000Suggested as prophesized he won in New Hampshire and at that point Haley's campaign was effectively over because like DeSantis in Iowa New Hampshire was for Haley a must-win state that was the only state where she even had a chance at winning not even her home state of South Carolina, which was actually to her advantage within the early battleground tier of states
00:29:27.000And so it was over for her just the same.
00:29:29.000It was over for her in New Hampshire just as it was over for her in March when the Manhattan charges were unsealed.
00:29:37.000And just like it was a matter of time for DeSantis to drop out a few days after Iowa, a year after he announced, it was just a matter of time for Nikki Haley to drop out weeks after she lost New Hampshire, a year after the Manhattan charges dropped.
00:29:53.000But this raises an interesting question.
00:29:57.000Which is when you map it out in this way and you can see that there's two distinct periods that sort of overlap.
00:30:03.000You could say arguably that it's... I'm saying arguably a lot.
00:30:06.000A lot of this stuff is sort of up to interpretation.
00:30:10.000There's this distinct period of January 2021.
00:30:14.000to let's say May 2023 when DeSantis announces and you could say that that is the period of time when it was conceivable it might have even been plausible that DeSantis could have usurped Trump starting with Trump leaving office badly damaged in many ways
00:30:36.000And the valley of November 2022, a year and a half later, when he had been blamed for losing the midterms.
00:30:43.000DeSantis had never been higher in the polls.
00:30:46.000Trump gave a horrible announcement speech that seemed to reveal all of his weaknesses, which is that he had recapitulated to the establishment position on many things, that he had lost his energy.
00:30:57.000He really is old, like his age is showing.
00:31:01.000And then all the way right up until DeSantis aborted launch after Trump had
00:31:07.000Had everybody circle the wagons around him after the Manhattan Charges.
00:31:13.000And the other distinct period started with maybe Mar-a-Lago, maybe it was the Manhattan Charges, but it was the beginning of people rallying around the flag and Trump resuming and reclaiming his position as the uncontested, dominant leader of the party.
00:31:29.000Where it's not even a question that he's going to be the guy.
00:31:32.000And that has everything to do with him
00:31:35.000Becoming bigger than himself, in a sense.
00:31:40.000People identifying him with the problems that are happening in the country.
00:31:46.000And I've said this before, Trump has become the most important figure in America because his personhood is where personal politics and ideological or idealistic politics now intersect.
00:32:01.000What happens to him, specifically his personal fate, is now the same.
00:32:08.000As the fate of political opposition in the United States of America.
00:32:12.000If he goes to jail, well, his life sucks.
00:32:20.000At the same time, it also means that there can be no opposition possible in America.
00:32:25.000If Trump couldn't do it with his unique position in popular culture and with the resources he had,
00:32:32.000And taking advantage of that time with internet being as free as it was and all the unique factors that went into it, if that movement couldn't produce a true reform or a true introspection on the part of the elite, then nothing can.
00:32:48.000If he is the most viable, if he is the leader of the opposition, and he gets defeated for nothing other than being the opposition, then there can be no opposition.
00:32:58.000And so the idealistic vision of change in the simplest form, I'm not even talking about right-wing, left-wing, but in the simplest form, the idea of political change dies with Trump's movement, with him going to jail.
00:33:13.000So, these things become one and the same.
00:33:16.000They become inextricably bound up together, and that happened when...
00:33:24.000conspiracy felony, the secondary felony charge that he got in Manhattan.
00:33:31.000It was totally cooked by this liberal district attorney.
00:33:37.000And when he was charged, and by the way, that was the first time that any president had ever been charged.
00:33:43.000The precedent that that set, the fact that it was so ridiculous, but also set the precedent that they had really broken a rule that you're not supposed to charge former presidents because there's some... there's supposed to be some decorum or some degree of sanctity for that office and even people that have formerly held it.
00:34:25.000He doesn't have as much energy as he did before.
00:34:28.000His positions are weaker than they were before.
00:34:31.000He has been assimilated into the same political establishment he once fought.
00:34:36.000So people saw the limits of Trump the man.
00:34:38.000But when they charged him with this nonsense and broke the precedent and they basically said that if you take up political opposition we will bury you
00:34:49.000People were then forced, if they support the idea that there can be political opposition, they were forced to support him.
00:35:01.000Beating the weaponization of law enforcement against him.
00:35:05.000And so even if Trump was weak as a man, it became more important than what Trump would do as a guy.
00:35:11.000It was about him winning the election so that he could beat the rigged, unfair system, which is now mask off, drop the facade, and is conspired against the number one opposition movement in the country.
00:35:26.000And to me, that is really the significance of 2024.
00:35:29.000That is why Trump has now won the nomination.
00:35:34.000That is why now I think he is winning in the polls.
00:35:40.000So, in a sense, it is fundamentally different this time than it was in 2020.
00:35:47.000It is fundamentally different this time than it was in 2016.
00:35:51.000Because it's no longer, in this case, about Trump and his politics.
00:35:56.000This time it's about what Trump represents.
00:36:00.000And I think that's why he has a real chance of winning and why there is real organic enthusiasm and popular support.
00:36:07.000It's because he is once again embodying the ideal that he did in 2016.
00:36:13.000Or embodying an ideal in the same way that he did in 2016.
00:36:17.000It wasn't about, we want Trump because he's going to govern the country better, because I don't even think that's a good argument.
00:36:24.000He is demonstrably not very good at governing.
00:36:27.000He's demonstrably held back by the sabotage, by the deep state, by his naive loyalty to his family who sabotage him at every turn and other associates that are close to him.
00:36:41.000There are a lot of reasons why Trump is not the best administrator, governor, president who presides.
00:36:47.000You know, that's where that comes from.
00:36:49.000But we voted for him in 2016 because he represented American revanchism, to put it very simply.
00:36:57.000He represented, by building a wall between America and Mexico, distinction.
00:37:20.000And there were all kinds of other ideas in there.
00:37:23.000Populism, America First, and it all went together, but they were all vague expressions of something similar, which was American revival and a repudiation of the elites.
00:37:34.000In some sense, it wasn't even, and people talked about this, Hillary Clinton was so unpopular, maybe that was the critical variable.
00:37:45.000The status quo, the stable state, the system, than it was a vote in favor of, a vote for, this reality TV show nativist becoming the president.
00:39:55.000And that maybe it would be competitive and maybe he could pull it out, but people were very bearish on the prospect that Trump would have any chance at holding office ever again.
00:40:06.000Then he got charged and everything changed.
00:40:08.000And that tells you that it's not about, for Trump, the message.
00:40:17.000And the simplest form of what that is, which is opposition.
00:40:23.000The idea that there can or would be dissent in the United States against this clearly incompetent, aging, unpopular system embodied by Biden.
00:40:33.000And in very much the same way, Biden embodies what the system represents.
00:40:43.000Apparently running it, nominally running it, or not actually running it, you know that's another critical thing about Biden, is that like everything else he is just a front man for a very complex, opaque, obfuscated system that is working behind the scenes that we couldn't even begin to understand that if we talked about it we'd be censored from explaining how it works
00:41:09.000And it's a system that is old and does not have the popular mandate.
00:41:15.000So it's a very weird and bizarre election for that reason.
00:41:21.000Because some people say, oh well this is about who do you like less.
00:41:26.000It's voting against Biden or against Trump.
00:41:29.000Or some people say we want options other than Trump or Biden.
00:41:39.000I don't think there's ever been a case, at least in my lifetime, like this where the two candidates fully embody things and forces that are so fundamental about our society.
00:41:52.000Maybe not since 2016, because 2016 was very similar in that way.
00:41:58.000With Clinton being, like, the ultimate criminal.
00:42:01.000Being, like, the ultimate representation of elite arrogance.
00:42:06.000This idea that they're gonna laugh in your face and fucking lie to you and commit crimes and complete double standards.
00:42:58.000They stopped being aloof and arrogant, and they took it very seriously, and so then it turned into outright oppression.
00:43:07.000Censorship, the activation of the DOJ, the surveillance state, all these things, and now it represents something more fundamental, which is
00:43:18.000Now it's about, it's not about the elite, you know.
00:43:21.000Oh, well they're just kind of arrogant and out of touch.
00:43:50.000Like DeSantis used to say, we're painting in bold colors.
00:43:54.000If I'm painting a picture for you of this narrative and
00:43:59.000How that's shaped the contours of these different cycles and popular support for candidates within and between the different parties.
00:44:06.000I would say that's the big story because I legitimately believe that it was not so open and shut at one time and that's a theory we can never test because of course Trump did get charged and that did make him win so we don't know if he would have won otherwise.
00:44:28.000The benefit of me doing the show for so long and covering it every day is I was there for the dog days of the dark Joe Biden winter from January 6th.
00:45:08.000In the first term, when he was being sabotaged and persecuted and failing, and it was even more brutal when they were rounding up his supporters and arresting them and he was dying in the polls and dying on the vine without a platform, and it seemed that America had maybe fully moved on, even within the GOP.
00:45:27.000Then he got charged and the narrative flipped overnight and now people talk about it as though none of these people ever stood a chance.
00:45:40.000So, and we have to carefully reflect on the lessons of all of that.
00:45:47.000I would say the other thing is this, if the charges made Trump win the primary, what has made him popular in the general election polling is October 7th.
00:45:59.000Because there's this related but distinct question, which is, okay, one, will Trump win the GOP nomination?
00:46:13.000Do GOP voters have an appetite for Trumpism without Trump?
00:46:19.000Do they see him as a toxic brand and a liability or do they see him as somebody who despite his faults and flaws is the standard bearer for this political revolution?
00:46:30.000That's question number one and that was answered by the charges.
00:46:36.000Made all those questions irrelevant and they made him the nominee and the leader of the party and reaffirmed that he's the leader of this movement.
00:47:05.000You know, I know it's a touchy subject.
00:47:07.000It's like, I don't want the Secret Service to show up, but a lot of people speculate that, you know, there might be some conspiracy that that, just like they charged him, maybe they try some extra legal thing like that.
00:47:28.000And so, in the same way that the charges in Manhattan answered or made irrelevant the first set of questions, and now he's the presumptive nominee, in some ways these questions pertaining to topic number two are becoming irrelevant.
00:47:44.000Because now he's leading in the polls by a lot in literally every swing state.
00:49:02.000At one time, there was a very serious concerted effort to ban him from society, to completely exile him after the 6th.
00:49:12.000You know, Tucker and Mitch McConnell, they would have been glad to never deal with Trump ever again, and it was looking like that was a potential reality.
00:49:20.000Now, they're reluctantly accepting that they will not only have to allow him to exist, but they have to support him in an election, in a general election.
00:49:36.000If Trump became viable as the leader of the movement and the party after the charges because of the effect of the charges, then he became viable for the general election and decoupled from Biden in the polling and had this massive lead and was able to seal the deal in the primary and get critical support from the institutions after October 7th.
00:50:03.000And what I'm trying to say here is that it would seem that, as I said on Thursday or Friday last week, the rightward shift in Israeli society is creating a rightward shift in American society.
00:51:15.000And they have taken over and specifically over the past 15 years Sheldon Adelson and his money has transformed the GOP and consolidated their advantage within the GOP.
00:51:27.000George W. Bush was the most pro-Israel president in history at his time.
00:51:32.000And then the Jews further facilitated this.
00:51:50.000They would take it further than even Democrat politicians that support Israel.
00:51:55.000So the American Right, specifically the American Republican Party, became inextricably connected to the Israeli Right.
00:52:03.000Not just Israel itself, but the Israeli Right and American Zionists who support the Israeli Right in America.
00:52:14.000Okay, so that's something to keep in mind here.
00:52:18.000So when we see that the Republican Party and its candidate for president has now become viable in the general election, and that started to happen after October 7th, we can see very clearly that maybe that is a result of the influence of Israel.
00:52:33.000That Israel has cleared the way for their guy now to win.
00:52:38.000And to put it plainly, Israel was attacked on October 7th.
00:52:43.000They're not getting the kind of support that they want from Joe Biden.
00:52:47.000Joe Biden has been very unfriendly towards Israel and the Israeli right.
00:52:53.000He has been in favor of the same policies as his predecessor, his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama, trying to rebuild the Iran nuclear deal.
00:53:02.000He's declining to support Netanyahu and his bid to transform Israeli society with his judicial reform and to evade prosecution from his own government.
00:53:12.000So Biden, just like Obama, was very unfriendly towards Israel.
00:53:16.000When Israel was attacked, that became untenable and unacceptable.
00:53:22.000So then Trump becomes super popular the next day and starts to blow up in the polls and now it seems like it's inevitable that he'll win.
00:53:32.000And to me it seems clear that his path was cleared and all the obstacles were pushed aside by a very powerful and motivated Zionist right that has been emboldened by October 7th to make sure that the next American president unconditionally supports their vision.
00:53:50.000Because less than a year from now, a new president will be seated.
00:53:54.000And mark my words, less than a year from now, all of this conflict will still be going on.
00:54:01.000So the point is, it's imminent, it's urgent.
00:54:06.000All of this stuff is happening in real time.
00:54:10.000A new president will be inaugurated next January.
00:54:16.000So if this campaign in Gaza is still going on Netanyahu says they'll be there for 10 years.
00:54:21.000They'll assuredly still be occupying Gaza on January 20th, 2025 when we have a new president.
00:54:28.000They will most assuredly still be fighting the axis of resistance backed by Iran in Yemen, Lebanon, in Iraq, and Syria on January 20th, 2025.
00:54:39.000And if Trump is the president and sworn in on that day they will have a leader in the White House and a
00:54:46.000Secretary of Defense and a Secretary of State that are far more sympathetic specifically to the Prime Minister of Israel Netanyahu and his specific aims in this specific war which will still be happening less than a year from today.
00:55:04.000And I don't think that all of that is a coincidence.
00:55:07.000But this tells us what's driving political life in America.
00:55:12.000And it's just as interesting what is, as what isn't.
00:55:16.000What is driving the contours of the electorate and the political conversation in America, the actions of the federal law enforcement and intelligence community, and foreign influence from Israel.
00:55:31.000If I could tell you the two or three most impactful things in this election, it would be those.
00:55:37.000It would be that there is a concerted effort by the IC and federal law enforcement to get Trump, so that's a small group of institutional actors, deep state actors in the security state,
00:55:50.000Their moves have caused what has happened.
00:55:53.000I would say number two is the influence exerted by the Israeli right after October 7th.
00:55:59.000Again, it's a small group of people lobbying American society within powerful institutions on behalf of a foreign special interest.
00:56:08.000That's the number two biggest determinant.
00:56:12.000And then maybe three would be the acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk.
00:56:18.000And that's something else which is highly influenced by these other factors.
00:56:21.000Because of course Twitter changed after October 7th and Elon Musk in some ways represents perhaps a subversion because look at PayPal Mafia, they're totally linked up with Israel and the security state.
00:56:37.000And so if the three biggest drivers of political change in America really all come from the same place, what does that tell you about American political life?
00:56:47.000If Elon Musk, being a spook, okay, he makes rockets for SpaceX, he made PayPal with Peter Thiel and basically the US government and the big banks, okay?
00:56:58.000He got financing for Twitter from the big banks.
00:57:02.000This guy is thoroughly involved in that network.
00:57:11.000And a guy like Bill Ackman, if they're the ones driving the conversation, then this pulls the curtains aside and reveals that we don't live in a democracy.
00:57:36.000An 18-year-old college Republican and an 18-year-old college Democrat going on a TikTok battle and debating about, you know, will Trump have a better economy than Biden?
00:57:48.000That is not politics, contrary to popular belief.
00:57:51.000Politics is not Kevin McCarthy getting overthrown.
00:57:54.000Politics is not Fox News telling you, you know, about Hunter Biden's laptop and whatever.
00:58:02.000Politics is the intelligence communities of various nations working in extremely convoluted, incomprehensibly complex ways, using extremely sophisticated systems to influence the electorate.
00:58:31.000We can map the election in a very scientific way, and we can look at the independent and dependent variables, and then we can analyze, you know, what are the independent variables.
00:59:02.000Astronomical influence of big tech firms, which are very much related to the Intel and security framework of different states, like TikTok.
00:59:13.000You are an idiot if you think that TikTok and ByteDance aren't involved in the Chinese security or intelligence apparatus.
00:59:20.000And the same is true of Google and Twitter and Neta with the American intelligence security apparatus.
00:59:51.000And so, the upshot of all of this is to think about how can we create political change?
00:59:58.000Well, it turns out that political change
01:00:02.000is not directly downstream from what ordinary people think is political activism.
01:00:07.000It's not, it doesn't come directly from people working on a campaign or telling people what they think, like I'm doing right now.
01:00:15.000It comes from a wedding of circumstance, like events unfolding in history that are kind of uncontrollable and unpredictable, and the people that are in the right place at the right time
01:00:30.000Who are clever, who can steer them to the best of their ability with some humble understanding of intended and unintended consequences.
01:00:43.000And so how do we create political change?
01:00:45.000It's about getting the right people in the right place to wait for the right time.
01:00:52.000You gotta do a show like this and tell them the right ideas.
01:00:55.000And then you gotta get the smartest people to know the right ideas and network them.
01:01:01.000And you have to carefully cultivate their careers and watch them over time.
01:01:05.000Through a system of patronage and mentorship and then over over a generation or two those people in the positions to not control or initiate but to guide the unfolding of events.
01:01:20.000Some of them they can't control, but in a way that maybe benefits us in the future, and I think that's kind of.
01:01:26.000Roughly where I am in my political understanding over the years.
01:01:31.000And by the way, this is exactly what our adversaries do.
01:01:34.000This is precisely what our adversaries do.
01:01:59.000They didn't say, hey, let's get all the Jews to volunteer for all the campaigns and march in the streets and tell everybody what our views are.
01:02:29.000This is how these things happen and that's the that's like the level of seriousness that we need to treat the subject but you know we can look at it everywhere you can look at the texture of politics anywhere and you can begin if you're perceptive to draw these conclusions you can start to realize that politics isn't what it seems to be from the outside looking in that is maybe the fundamental
01:02:50.000Realization that a person can have is that you watching politics from outside are not understanding politics as it works inside Because You know the people that work in politics and make make politics happen.
01:03:07.000They're not people like you the live ordinary lives
01:03:11.000And are sort of have a passing interest in politics and are really an amateur and novice.
01:03:17.000Don't really have a deep or really sophisticated understanding, but just are passionate and have these vague partisan feelings.
01:03:27.000So consequently, there's an asymmetry there.
01:03:29.000There's a fundamental misunderstanding.
01:03:31.000People watch politics, they get into it, and they think everyone that's in it is like me.
01:03:36.000Someone who was watching it enthusiastically passionately from the sidelines, but not really knowing much about it and You know and the rest so But the more that you look at politics the more you realize that it doesn't Things don't happen the way you would expect them to if it worked the way that most people assume it does so
01:04:04.000So that's my takeaway, because I've been watching this cycle from beginning until now, you know, from the very, very beginning, because I, you know, I started my show in 17, just after 2016, and 2020 was ridiculous.
01:04:17.000But this one I watched from the Trump exile until now, and you could see, wait a second, it almost never mattered what Trump said in the speeches.
01:04:26.000That has not been the independent variable that has created this range of different outcomes in the polling.
01:04:37.000The speech that he gave last night on Super Tuesday is not different from the speech he gave in Mar-a-Lago in the same place November 2022 after he got slaughtered in the midterms.
01:05:10.000Just like, just like, just like James Comey put out that press release and that letter a few weeks before the November election in 2016.
01:05:23.000Creating suspicion about Hillary Clinton's email and creating in the minds of many voters a false equivalency between maybe the Billy Bush and Russiagate and the Hillary email thing?
01:05:33.000Like, you know, was that not in a way determinative that James Comey, the head of the FBI, put out that letter on a very pressing matter weeks before the election?
01:05:44.000And did they not do the exact same thing with the Hunter Biden laptop weeks before the election in 2020?
01:05:50.000Another discretionary decision by the FBI, by federal law enforcement?
01:05:55.000How the FBI has a not insignificant hand weeks before the last three elections?
01:06:05.000Oh yeah, 2016, they put out a letter and damn Hillary Clinton and basically call her a criminal.
01:06:11.000Weeks before 2020, they tell Twitter and Facebook to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop.
01:06:17.0002024, they charge Trump and oops, inadvertently create this huge effect where now Trump is the presumptive nominee, defeats DeSantis, maybe even defeats Biden, activates his base.
01:06:29.000And maybe it's reductive to put it so simply, but, like, that is something to pay attention to.
01:07:04.000I mean, arguably, they favored Trump in 2020, but favors Trump again now, but with vigor, you know, now with a renewed urgency.
01:07:11.000But you can see that the actions of federal law enforcement, these decisions that are happening in mainstream media, and the influence of foreign countries,
01:07:25.000Those three things are huge determinants of what happens and their fingerprints are all over it.
01:07:42.000Whoever controls the levers of the means of communication,
01:07:46.000Whoever controls the secret police or the spy agency, which is basically one and the same with federal law enforcement, that's who's really in control of the contemporary human organization.
01:07:58.000And that's why people that have these outdated, this kind of anachronistic thinking, they're like, we gotta put on a uniform and march in the streets!
01:08:12.000It's a different, it is a different collective consciousness.
01:08:16.000It's a different level of technological development, which begets a different economic structure, which creates a different political mode.
01:08:27.000And they are all intimately related to each other.
01:08:30.000And if you want to understand modern political life, you have to understand the modern technology, which has created the modern capital markets, which has created the modern incomprehensibly complex
01:08:51.000So... And I feel like I'm, you know, when I was younger I remember campaigning, and I, don't get me wrong, I still love Trump, and I, you know, there's something to be said about the power of belief.
01:09:04.000I think that's what Dune 2 is about, not to tie it into some stupid movie because that, you know, won't really stand the test of time.
01:09:38.000And maybe Trump doesn't necessarily mean everything that he says.
01:09:41.000Maybe it doesn't translate into policy.
01:09:43.000But people believing in that message, and the fact that that message resonates, and the power within, that is real.
01:09:53.000And so even if you don't believe in Trump like he's going to be the best administrator, maybe he's backed by Israel, you can believe in Trump as a, you know, you don't want to say like messianic or anything like that, but
01:10:11.000He is tapping into something that is real.
01:10:13.000Even if he's not real, he's tapping into something that is real, and he's activating something that will have real implications.
01:10:20.000So, even if he's not the man actualizing by the process of him getting elected, he may inadvertently actualize something that will be real.
01:10:54.000A young man, a young gifted man heard it and took it to heart and then acted in the world.
01:11:01.000And if many people are doing that, we don't even fully understand the implications of the true belief in Trump and what he unlocked by saying these things, you know.
01:11:11.000And so that's why, like I said, it's about forces outside of our control and putting the right people to steer them.
01:11:21.000So, it's not, contrary to what people think, it's not a black pill.
01:11:25.000It's sort of like, you go through this phase where you're like, we need to elect Trump so we can fix things, to like, Trump can't fix anything, no one can fix anything, it doesn't matter.
01:11:35.000To like, well, actually it does matter because that's how I got into politics, and if a hundred people like me were running the government, then we could change things.
01:11:54.000You realize voting for Trump doesn't matter because Trump is going to fix America, necessarily.
01:12:00.000But if Trump gets elected, there are going to be a million 18-year-olds who believe in American revanchism, who are going to go to work in the White House, and they're going to be adults in 30 years with political careers.
01:12:12.000And, you know, so it's a story of generations.
01:12:15.000The world is a story of generations, not static cross-sections that you could take at any given moment in time.
01:13:31.000Tell me if you think that's great or if that's, you know, just totally gibberish.
01:13:40.000But I'm gonna pull up our Super Chat, see what you guys have to say about all this.
01:13:48.000and I'm hungry so I'm gonna try and get out of here pretty quickly cuz I'm I'm hungry Jack tonight listen up Jack I gotta eat a sandwich okay
01:15:10.000They say that if you're rich, it's gonna be tough for you to get into heaven.
01:15:15.000That's also true if you have a hot wife and beautiful kids, and the kids are rich and beautiful, like,
01:15:21.000Something to be said about this and it's not to say that it's bad to be good it's not to say that it's bad to be good-looking or rich but there is something to be said that it's it's easier to I think to be worldly to be good-looking you have a different temptation so ugly people ugly people will inherit good news for all of us right good news for all of us bottom bottom feeder depth groveler
01:16:31.000Regarding Myra Flores, she's a self-important, overly sassy never-submitter that will balloon up two months into her first pregnancy and never recover.
01:16:40.000And you really want to go to Spanish Catholic Mass?
01:18:17.000Every, every one of you, you're out there, you're cooming, dumping coom, and disgusting sluts, and drinking alcohol, living normal lives, being stupid, being fucking stupid.
01:18:33.000People go, yeah, fairy godparents, you're giving me the fucking Mr. Crocker treatment, because I want to enjoy a little McDonald's once in a while.
01:21:51.000I mean I would either be like an entre... I'd either be like an entrepreneur with varying levels of success or I would be a complete like drug head degenerate.
01:22:19.000I would not be able to, I don't think I'd be able to get along.
01:22:23.000I mean, I don't want to say never, but I haven't so far, and I think it would be extremely difficult for me to ever live a normal life because of my personality flaws.
01:22:35.000So that would either lend itself to extremes, you know, an extreme
01:22:43.000Disfunctional life on a bad side or on a good side.
01:22:46.000I'd be very productive and innovative or very Degenerate and unstable So I think it would be I would probably go very badly for me because I mean again not to knock my ancestors but my ancestors are very much the same way like I'm very much like my mom's side and they were a lot of them were drug addicts and Bank robbers and
01:26:00.000Because I feel like... I feel like that...
01:26:23.000I could have really become a true polymath if I went to college, but I just didn't have the discipline.
01:26:28.000If you go to a real academy, you learn math, you learn Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, and German, and French, and you learn the Western Canon.
01:26:40.000I feel like I... Yeah, I mean, there's sort of two schools of thought on this.
01:26:47.000One school of thought is you learn efficiently.
01:26:52.000Like, modern technology means you can learn efficiently.
01:26:56.000Like, if I want to start a business, I could go online and Google how to start a business, and watch all the YouTube videos on how to start a business.
01:27:04.000And if I want to know about Israel, I could go on Wikipedia and read the whole history of Israel.
01:27:08.000And I could read a hundred books about Israel.
01:27:11.000And that's kind of like the efficient learning idea, and like, you know, learning hacks with technology.
01:27:18.000The other idea is that to really be educated, you need a holistic education.
01:27:24.000Which means, in order to make good decisions in business, you should know, like, how to do calculus.
01:27:33.000Even if you don't need to know calculus to run a business, knowing calculus is good for you.
01:27:38.000Knowing Ancient Greek is good for you.
01:27:41.000Having read the Aeneid is good for you.
01:27:47.000And so, you know, on one hand, I agree with you that, yeah, you can learn what you need to learn through the Internet.
01:27:53.000If you're an autodidact, it's never been a better time to be alive.
01:27:58.000But at the same time, I feel like I never got that holistic, classic education, classical education, because I didn't have a mentor and go to college and do all that.
01:28:08.000And so now I just feel like a less serious intellectual, you know, and I understand that.
01:28:15.000You know, because you look at Google, there's a great table.
01:28:19.000If you Google presidents on Wikipedia and the languages they spoke, it's like the first 15 presidents all spoke English, Greek, Hebrew, Latin, and almost all of them spoke an additional language like Spanish, Arabic, German, Dutch, French,
01:28:40.000You know, it's like Ben Franklin spoke five languages.
01:28:43.000They all spoke three, four, five languages.
01:28:45.000Then you look at our presidents today, they only speak English.
01:28:49.000Obama spoke Indonesian when he was a kid.
01:28:53.000And you look at our intellectuals now, it's like they don't speak... They're not reading stuff in their original language.
01:29:07.000Goethe wrote Faust, and he wrote a theory of colors, and he wrote about plants, and he wrote about philosophy, and he wrote poetry, and this was the pinnacle of modern development.
01:29:25.000We have to have a mind towards that, as opposed to this like, you know, I'll just Google how to start, I'll just Google how did you drop shipping on Amazon, but you're a complete fucking retard otherwise.
01:29:37.000I'll just Google, and I'll have a Google PhD.
01:29:41.000Like no, we need, we need people that actually love the truth.
01:30:35.000John Miller's giving Don Shirley because he plays the piano and he's black.
01:30:40.000But I'm like the Don Shirley and I don't know, we gotta find some mainstream.
01:30:44.000Maybe Candace Owens can be my Italian chauffeur.
01:30:50.000Where I'm like, I will not be eating fried chicken.
01:30:55.000And she's like, come on, eat the fried- I fucking hate that movie, I think it's so fucking stupid, but I've watched the entire thing multiple times in TikTok clips.
01:31:05.000But I'm watching TikTok, it's just the fucking green book.
01:31:08.000Every other month, I watch the entirety of the green book in TikTok.
01:31:13.000And I watch, um, uh, you know, shoot the gun in the parking lot, cause the flash is cash at the bar and all that shit.
01:31:27.000Yeah, but I'm like the Negro in that movie where they're like, well, you can play in the restaurant, but you can't eat in the dining room.
01:31:33.000You know, Arwen from Suite Life of Zack and Cody's like, well, you can play in the dining room, but we'll bring you dinner to your dressing room.
01:35:49.000And the scene when he is driving down PCH and stops to get strawberries.
01:35:54.000There's something so Kino about that scene He's in the Audi which they were promoting for that movie as product placement But he's driving in the Audi convertible and he stops on PCH and buys a basket of strawberries For some reason I think about that every day and I also think about when he created the new element Not only when he when he got the
01:36:15.000uh diorama and saw you know that oh all the benches are neutrons and he you know he did the thing and he was like and they invented the element and then when he pointed the laser at the triangle and it got in the triangle and they're like congratulations i'm making a new element i think about those three scenes probably once a week every week for my entire life i don't know why totally i'm sure it's just because i it was impressionable when i was young
01:36:47.000But yeah, so it's definitely Iron Man Love that movie I Love that scene when he flies in at the beginning.
01:41:22.000Really cool dude sent $10, Chuck Johnson said they're turning elections into a month-long event and promoting the use of mail-in ballots to prevent interference from foreign intelligence.
01:41:32.000What do you make of someone who is very smart on some stuff and then says some of the most retarded shit you've ever heard in your life?
01:42:06.000Navigated hair in $16.265, during Reagan's in H.W.
01:42:11.000Bush's rule, a prominent Republican figure, Larry King, ran an occultist-slash-satanic child prostitution-slash-drug ring for rich and powerful, including Bush Sr.
01:42:20.000blackmail ring for Zionist-slash-mafia agents?
