Based Camp - A New Right Manifesto： Who is the New Right and what do they believe？

00:00:00.000 I think this new political alliance of the tech entrepreneurs with the Americans who are just tired of being around makes a lot of sense when it comes to stuff like this.

00:00:11.000 Okay, let's build new systems. Let's build better systems. We don't need to do things the way they've always been done.

00:00:15.760 What progressivism is now is like a bureaucratic virus. And because these organizations are so large, they were taken over by this virus, which presents itself as progressive.

00:00:29.180 And so they turned left.

00:00:30.560 And when you talk about the inefficiencies that this has gotten, I think a lot of people don't realize how big this is.

00:00:34.720 You look at something like the case of putting the suicide netting on the Golden Gate Bridge, which ended up costing about a third the cost, even in cash-adjusted dollars, of the original construction of the bridge itself.

00:00:46.740 When we talk about the collapse of our school system, we see as we pour more money into the school system, it's just increasing the size of the bureaucracy.

00:00:53.540 I'm going to be putting some graphs on screen here so you can see this.

00:00:56.060 Well, student outcomes are not improving by any stretch of the imagination.

00:01:00.420 And their mental health is going haywire with a recent CDC study showing one in four school-age girls had a plan to kill themselves on any given year, not over the course of their entire adolescence.

00:01:13.000 And it reported one in ten attempts to unalive oneself from students every single year.

00:01:19.620 This stuff needs massive and immediate reform.

00:01:23.320 So, let's go in to our actual policy positions.

00:01:29.060 Would you like to know more?

00:01:30.320 Hello, Simone. 0.69

00:01:31.440 I am excited to be here with you.

00:01:32.940 You are running for office in Pennsylvania right now.

00:01:36.160 And this episode is meant to collate many of our evolving political beliefs into one video that we can use as an ad for this campaign cycle, but also for our regular watchers to catch up or have a one place to see everything that they can share with other people.

00:01:57.300 And our political beliefs, well, they kind of matter because something that's been coming up more and more in other videos we've been doing is this concept of the new right.

00:02:08.600 A new political faction forming was in the right.

00:02:11.580 And at first, I thought that our views were just sort of a weird form of right-wing beliefs.

00:02:18.440 Then I put in the names of other figures that are associated with this new right, like Elon and Peter Thiel and Chamath and Vivek and David Sachs and Marc Andreessen and J.D. Vance, the recently appointed VP for Trump.

00:02:31.360 And I asked, what are the unifying political beliefs between these people?

00:02:36.840 And it basically spit out our political belief system to a T.

00:02:42.360 And then I was like, well, then what I really like to do with this video is one, explain in short, we've done longer videos that go into a lot more detail on this, how the new right emerged.

00:02:52.320 And then also give a political philosophy, not just like a list of these are the things we believe, but a larger philosophy around why we believe these things.

00:03:05.500 I like it.

00:03:06.620 And so people know, you can be like, well, is this Simone's running or Malcolm's running?

00:03:10.760 It doesn't really matter.

00:03:11.760 We do everything together.

00:03:12.820 We run all our companies together.

00:03:14.440 We believe in gender equality, just not the way feminists talk about it. 1.00

00:03:17.920 Yeah, well, and honestly, as you can see, Malcolm is the talker, the way we work.

00:03:25.320 Malcolm is the outbound, high-risk, high-reward, faces the public, you know, strategy guy, and I'm execution.

00:03:34.340 So that's why you're going to see him talk more. 0.99

00:03:37.260 I mean, I think I get shit done. 0.92

00:03:39.200 It's sort of a communist approach to putting together a family, you could say, from each according to their ability to each according to their needs. 0.98

00:03:45.840 That's why all of our chickens are named after communists.

00:03:49.000 Yes, because that's what always happens to communists at the end of the day is the slaughter.

00:03:53.280 But what I mean in the family context, a communist family structure, is to say that we split tasks based on our ability and our needs while understanding that men and women are on average different.

00:04:08.860 And therefore, some tasks are going to be easier for a woman or dispositionally more favorable for a woman, and some tasks are going to be easier for a man. 0.73

00:04:16.060 Well, and also logistically, like, for example, it's a lot easier to get elected as a woman than it is as a man.

00:04:21.840 So who do we run?

00:04:23.180 This one.

00:04:25.220 Exactly, in this world of DEI.

00:04:28.160 So let's start with how the new right emerged.

00:04:32.820 And this will be a summary of some stuff we've gone over in other videos.

00:04:36.440 But broadly speaking, in the 90s, there was a force that we call GOP, Inc.

00:04:41.040 This is what the Republican Party was.

00:04:43.080 It was an alliance of two broad factions, one theocratic faction that was interested in legislating morality, i.e. enforcing people to conform to their view of what was moral through legislation, like, you know, banning gay marriage, for example.

00:04:58.580 And then an alliance of them and big business, as well as blue bloods, because big business and blue bloods are usually the same group.

00:05:05.020 Over time, big business moved to the left, as did intergenerational wealth.

00:05:10.940 And the theocrats stopped being able to get anything done.

00:05:14.620 At that point in history, Trump came along.

00:05:17.900 Trump inspired an entirely new base that the Republicans hadn't classically appealed to, which was disenfranchised Americans.

00:05:25.800 Americans who felt they were getting the raw deal and wanted to tear down parts of the system and try to build something new that kind of worked.

00:05:33.600 Hence, drain the swamp.

00:05:35.640 Hence, drain the swamp.

00:05:36.840 But the new right hadn't really emerged yet with Trump, because when Trump took this position, the types of people, like I mentioned before, like Elon and Shamas and Vivek and David Sachs, you know, they were still and even us.

00:05:49.020 You know, we were still and actually even Trump's current running mate.

00:05:52.340 We're still in advance.

00:05:53.160 Yeah.

00:05:53.300 Judy Vance was quite the never Trumper. 1.00

00:05:55.600 Yes, but as time went on, the left moved further and further left.

00:06:01.120 They began to sort of divide our society into an ethnic caste system that believed some humans were more deserving of human dignity than other humans.

00:06:10.220 For example, with the CDC partially distributing COVID vaccines based on a person's ethnicity instead of based on their need, which is just horrifying to us.

00:06:19.540 And recently, they have moved Jews to the bottom of this hierarchy, in our mind, making them a little different from Nazis. 0.74

00:06:26.260 Recently, in response to one of our videos, somebody was a bit surprised by this point.

00:06:29.840 They were like, oh, no, it's only the Zionists. 0.99

00:06:32.040 And then I point out, well, you know, you look at the surveys, it's 85 to 95 percent of Jews are Zionists. 0.94

00:06:36.400 It doesn't require much knowledge of Jewish history to know why many Jews would think that for the Jewish people to be safe, they need to have at least one state where they are the majority of the population.

00:06:47.340 But outside of that, the urban monoculture, which the progressives push, is based on the belief system that all economic differences between cultural and ethnic groups is due entirely to discrimination.

00:07:02.640 Therefore, if there is a group like the Jews that is disproportionately economically successful, yet claims to be the historic victims of discrimination, they must be lying. 0.63

00:07:13.320 Because that is impossible within the urban monocultural perspective.

00:07:17.920 But they have also overreached and gone against the science in many areas.

00:07:22.440 For example, the gender transition of youth, which we will get to when we talk about our social policies.

00:07:27.680 But this began to push the tech elite.

00:07:31.160 So historically, in the 90s, big business was conservative.

00:07:36.120 Entrepreneurial tech elites was progressive.

00:07:38.720 But that has flipped now.

00:07:40.360 The big business went to the other side.

00:07:42.300 The tech elites came to our side.

00:07:44.920 And it was because, as J.D. Vance, I think, very eloquently showed, they actually have a lot in common with America's disenfranchised groups.

00:07:54.040 So if you take people like the people of rural Appalachia, who have this pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps mentality, who have this belief in a meritocracy and grittiness and entrepreneurialism, these are all things that were always valued by the entrepreneur class.

00:08:08.540 In addition to that, the entrepreneur class has been very heavily shaped by libertarian philosophy since the crypto boom.

00:08:14.580 And in addition to that, they are very distrustful of large bureaucracies and believe that a lot of the way the government has handled things recently, like the COVID response and its, well, and election cycles, has become corrupt and bureaucratic and needs to be reformed.

00:08:31.200 Yeah, I would just add that it seems that as we have shifted to an age of greater bureaucratic bloat and general organizational ossification in general, and just keep in mind, the cost of doing anything now in business and government is so much higher because now there are all these layers of management, all these layers of regulation, which add costs, which add personnel, which add departments.

00:08:54.380 I think that also somehow has to do with the large organizations, you know, the big dot-coms of what used to be a much more scrappy era becoming progressive is that they're starting to align more with sort of progressive bureaucratic government interests.

00:09:11.040 And I feel like a lot of what people see as progressivism actually isn't that anymore.

00:09:15.920 It's not really what people think of when they think of like progressive social policies.

00:09:20.420 It really has to do more with large, sprawling bureaucracies and a sort of cancerous growth.

00:09:27.000 I don't know how else to put it.

00:09:28.200 Well, I mean, that's what DEI is.

00:09:29.940 It's not about actual diversity and equality.

00:09:34.500 It's about an organizational growth that has increased in size.

00:09:41.620 It's a self-replicating idea that prevents the organization's normal immune system from attacking it by saying it's doing something very important, i.e. protecting diversity.

00:09:50.420 And inclusion, but it is not.

00:09:52.200 I mean, you can look at recent leaks from things like Disney, where they had an instance of a half-black person not getting the job because they didn't, quote-unquote, look black enough.

00:10:01.440 Or the recent leaks from the FAA are not leaks, but like now we know that this is what happened, where they built tests that were designed to get more minorities in. 0.60

00:10:11.900 And the way the test did that was by asking questions like what was your least favorite subject in school and giving you points for saying science or saying do you take commands from authority well and giving you points for saying no, you didn't.

00:10:25.740 So actual black people were not hired for this if they didn't fit stereotypes of black people.

00:10:33.520 Yeah, it was only people in a specific association who actually kind of got the answers leaked to them, which is even more corrupt.

00:10:39.600 So I think the really interesting thing about this, though, is that it's not that the large companies of before that used to be conservative somehow just became progressive culturally over time.

00:10:50.400 It's more that what progressivism is now is like a bureaucratic virus.

00:10:56.980 And because these organizations are so large, they were taken over by this virus, which presents itself as progressive.

00:11:05.540 And so they turned left.

00:11:06.800 And when you talk about the inefficiencies that this has gotten, I think a lot of people don't realize how big this is.

00:11:11.200 You know, you look at something like the case of putting the suicide netting on the Golden Gate Bridge, which ended up costing about a third the cost and taking about three times the time, even in cash adjusted dollars, of the original construction of the bridge itself.

00:11:26.080 It's telling. I mean, it's also telling about the mental health of our society.

00:11:30.060 The huge amounts have to be spent just to stop people from hurling themselves off the Golden Gate Bridge at this time.

00:11:35.160 When we talk about the collapse of our school system, we see as we pour more money into the school system, it's just increasing the size of the bureaucracy.

00:11:42.520 I'm going to be putting some graphs on screen here so you can see this.

00:11:45.380 Well, student outcomes are not improving by any stretch of the imagination.

00:11:49.420 And their mental health is going haywire with a recent CDC study showing one in four school age girls had a plan to kill themselves on any given year, not over the course of their entire adolescence.

00:12:01.780 And it reported one in 10 attempts to unalive oneself from students every single year.

00:12:08.560 That was horrifying.

00:12:10.140 This stuff needs massive and immediate reform.

00:12:14.540 So let's go in to our actual policy positions and policy positions you sort of see across this group.

00:12:21.720 So in terms of our fiscal policy, we have a policy position that historically you and I called Bull Moves Republicanism, but it seems to just align broadly with the new right or the techno conservatives, as we are sometimes called.

00:12:35.060 And it is what I broadly would describe as pragmatic, evidence-based fiscal policy with a heavy distrust of bureaucracies.

00:12:43.660 I have to emphasize here that evidence-based policy of any sort is actually incredibly radical as a political concept.

00:12:52.860 So Malcolm sent me to Cambridge to study technology policy.

00:12:56.920 I literally have a master's degree in it.

00:12:58.840 And the entire punchline of the entire degree was, wouldn't it be cool if politicians made evidence-based policy decisions?

00:13:05.840 Oh, ha ha, that will never happen.

00:13:07.820 Let's interview a whole bunch of politicians who tried to make it happen.

00:13:10.660 And they got laughed out of office, and basically the incentives aren't in place to motivate it.

00:13:15.440 But now there's this faction that's really pushing for it.

00:13:17.880 So one, it seems like a no-brainer.

00:13:20.500 But two, this is revolutionary and also really exciting from a political development perspective.

00:13:26.660 Yes.

00:13:27.020 So what does this mean?

00:13:29.040 This means a fiscal policy that is largely anti-bureaucracy, but not just anti-government bureaucracy.

00:13:36.340 We are also antagonistic towards large corporate bureaucracies.

00:13:41.080 Especially corporate bureaucracies that control the mediums of communication.

00:13:45.720 So if they have natural monopolies in a space like, say, YouTube, or in a space like, say, Twitter, or in a space like, say, Facebook,

00:13:53.620 it does make sense for the government to intervene like that, as our founders knew.

00:13:57.820 That is why when our founders were building our government, they nationalized the postal system.

00:14:03.440 Why did they do that?

00:14:04.480 Why when the phone lines were building out was heavy, heavy, heavy regulation put on them?

00:14:09.180 Because if a company can buy the air between my wife and I and control what the other person is hearing or control most media in the country or something like that, that creates huge negative incentives and huge incentives for foul play.

00:14:23.240 And so it makes sense to regulate that.

00:14:25.620 But while we do believe that bureaucracy is bad, this does not mean that we are always against government intervention, as we have just pointed out, is trust busting.

00:14:35.040 For example, you look at J.D. Vance, and he was for raising the minimum wage.

00:14:39.000 He just was sincere.

00:14:40.260 He didn't pretend like it wouldn't cause people to lose their jobs.

00:14:43.000 He didn't pretend like it wouldn't put companies out of business.

00:14:45.360 He just considered those in his calculations.

00:14:48.560 Or you can look at policies that we push.

00:14:51.020 Like we would push a policy that says that companies should not be able to demand somebody work from the office unless they can prove there is an efficiency gain from that demand.

00:15:01.700 And otherwise they should be permitted to work remotely, Malcolm's saying, because that makes it easier, for example, for parents to be parents.

00:15:07.780 Exactly.

00:15:09.020 Or if you're talking about things like maternity leave, I believe that if a company cannot create a safe environment for a mother to bring her child into the office, they need to pay for her to be with that kid at home. 0.57

00:15:22.080 And if it's not an office environment or an environment where the child can be safe, like a construction site or something like that, that means we need to allow the mother to stay home. 1.00

00:15:29.440 Because, and if you're wondering why would you say something like this, there often are not other solutions for very young children other than to be with a mother.

00:15:38.340 For the first, if you have not dealt with a baby under like three months old, it is very, very hard to find care solutions for them.

00:15:46.200 And it also means that we are open to economic experimentation when we say evidence-based.

00:15:51.940 So something like UBI is something that we would be open to, universal basic income.

00:15:57.720 But we would be open to doing it on a test basis where it could be used to lower other bureaucracies.

00:16:03.540 So this also applies to how we relate to things like cash handouts to people who are struggling financially.

00:16:11.240 We are pro-cutting back all of the complicated bureaucratic mess and promoting simple cash handouts if those can pass along with a cutback of all of the other programs.

00:16:24.860 Because we should be getting money directly into the hands of the citizens and not in the hands of bureaucrats.

00:16:29.740 Which, as you saw from that school problem, this is why more money isn't helping with school outcomes.

00:16:35.660 Because it's all going to the bureaucrats.

00:16:37.900 Yeah.

00:16:38.260 With AI, we can really fight that now.

00:16:41.620 Yeah, basically, so many government systems were developed at a time when we mostly dealt with paper filing systems and snail mail.

00:16:50.440 Oh, excuse me.

00:16:51.780 And now we live in an age where we can do things so much more efficiently.

00:16:57.720 The really funny thing is, you know, we've done a lot of work in other countries.

00:17:01.500 Malcolm worked in South Korea.

00:17:02.900 We have, goodness gracious, girl.

00:17:05.780 Both, we run a company in Peru in addition to the United States.

00:17:10.400 It's funny that in some countries like Peru, which you think, oh, like, you know, their systems cannot be anywhere close to as, you know, sophisticated as the governmental systems in the United States.

00:17:18.880 Actually, in many ways, they're way more advanced because they were able to just leapfrog ahead.

00:17:23.600 You know, they were developing certain systems when tech was way better than when we developed those same systems.

00:17:29.360 So if we just kind of let go of what we started with and built something a little fresher, it's amazing how much money could be saved, how much time could be saved.

00:17:37.680 So, like, literally people are like, oh, you can't have improved government services without paying more in taxes.

00:17:42.580 Totally not true.

00:17:44.240 If you just redesigned some systems, started fresh, you could both lower taxes and get better results, which is, you know, amazing but also frustrating because no one's doing it yet.

00:17:55.880 I should point out how easy this can be.

00:17:58.080 So you look at, like, when we talk about these inefficiencies, consider that, like, recently I was trying to do some business filings on an online platform.

00:18:04.500 It would not let me submit them on the weekend.

00:18:08.300 What is an online platform?

00:18:10.580 Why did they need to accompany business hours?

00:18:13.700 This is because of bureaucracy.

00:18:15.940 Or you consider in, you know, when she's saying things are so much smoother in Peru, you probably are underestimating how much smoother they are.

00:18:23.400 You know how I pay my taxes in Peru?

00:18:25.160 I get a catalog that tells me everything that was done was my taxes the last time I paid with a pie chart and pictures of local improvements.

00:18:34.560 And then it has a little slip in it where I give them my credit card and they're automatically deducted from my bank account.

00:18:40.740 Yeah, we're on auto pay.

00:18:41.920 We don't have to worry about it.

00:18:43.580 Yeah.

00:18:44.160 Whereas in our district in Pennsylvania, we receive a snail mail letter and then have to go to this super janky online system.

00:18:51.480 And we, I think there's a Yahoo address literally for our tax collector.

00:18:55.720 If we have questions, because I literally paid our property taxes today again.

00:19:00.280 And I was like, oh my God.

00:19:02.540 Wow.

00:19:03.380 Okay.

00:19:04.280 Okay.

00:19:05.520 All right.

00:19:06.340 Well, let's continue here.

00:19:07.840 So the, then, then people are like, okay, I can see how that makes sense.

00:19:12.020 Like, it's actually like, wait, wait.

00:19:13.280 So you just want to be, like, you're not about like pointlessly defending big organizations that don't have any reason to defend them.

00:19:19.760 You're, you're not about endless expansion of bureaucracy.

00:19:21.800 You just want to do what helps the most people.

00:19:24.160 That seems that there's got to be a catch there somewhere, right?

00:19:29.180 Because it's just not the way politics has been played historically.

00:19:32.140 But I think this new political alliance of the tech entrepreneurs with the Americans who are just tired of being around makes a lot of sense when it comes to stuff like this.

00:19:43.600 Okay.

00:19:43.820 Let's build new systems.

00:19:44.900 Let's build better systems.

00:19:45.920 We don't need to do things the way they've always been done because I don't need to worry about big multinationals losing their government contracts.

00:19:56.600 But let's keep going here.

00:19:58.680 So our social beliefs.

00:20:01.260 Yeah.

00:20:01.460 Our overarching philosophy is cultural sovereignty, which is that the government should not be coercing people into living a certain way.

00:20:09.820 You know, you shouldn't, you shouldn't force families to say, okay, you have to raise your kids in this culture.

00:20:16.740 For example, in, in New York, there's been talk of, you know, shutting down various forms of private schooling.

00:20:22.880 In some states, it's very difficult to be a homeschooling parent, or there's a lot of regulation around it.

00:20:28.040 And of course, in, in all states, there's a varying report support for school vouchers, allowing people to send their kids to private schools and or homeschool their kids with some additional support.

00:20:39.800 So really where we stand is, you know, kids should be able to be educated by their families as those families see fit without any control.

00:20:47.100 We certainly never want to see ourselves getting to a place where families are in Germany, for example, where you literally cannot homeschool your children. 0.96

00:20:54.320 And I don't know, what would you want to add to that?

00:20:57.120 Well, I mean, the framing that I would use is we see society right now as being an existential battle between two groups.

00:21:07.800 If you look back at what progressives were trying to promote in like the 90s and the 80s, they may have been wrongheaded in some areas, but broadly, they wanted more equality.

00:21:18.820 That is no longer what they are pushing for.

00:21:21.440 They are now pushing for what we call the urban monoculture.

00:21:25.680 That's core value proposition is in the moment reduction of pain.

00:21:29.820 This is where you get things like trigger warnings, small emotional pains should be avoided at all costs.

00:21:34.700 But it's also where you get really strange decisions that would seem to make no sense at the if you're if you're looking for something like equality, like why do fentanyl handouts on the streets?

00:21:43.900 That's obviously going to make it harder for people from less advantaged backgrounds to get off drugs and easier for people who are from advantaged backgrounds to get off drugs because they have their family support.

00:21:54.600 Or why would you, like California has, remove certain types of testing in school?

00:21:59.780 You know, the rich kids are still going to be able to go to SAT prep and everything like that.

00:22:03.380 They're still going to be taking these tests and they're going to be using that to get ahead.

00:22:06.660 These things increase inequality.

00:22:08.080 Or why would you have something like the Hays Movement, the Healthy at Every Size Movement that you see on university campuses these days and things like fat studies departments that's trying to say we should not tell people it is unhealthy to be fat because that causes in the moment emotional pain.

00:22:23.760 We need to fight this.

00:22:25.300 And the urban monoculture is the cultural group that exists across all large urban centers pretty much everywhere you go in the world, whether it is in France or New York or Philadelphia.

00:22:38.740 This cultural group allows people to join it while ostensibly still being members of their birth culture.

00:22:45.840 However, they are not allowed to continue to hold their birth culture's value sets.

00:22:49.860 So if you don't understand what I mean when I say that, if I go across progressive groups, if I ask a progressive Muslim or a progressive Catholic or a progressive Jew, you know, what their views are on sexuality, what their views are on human gender roles, what their views are on a husband and wife's roles, what their views are on parental punishment techniques, what their views are on what happens to you, you know, after you die, what their views are on the cosmology of the universe, what their views are on our relation to the environment.

00:23:19.280 I'm going to get broadly the same answers.

00:23:22.040 They are allowed to keep a few holidays here and there, but broadly speaking, when a person enters the urban monoculture, they have to let go of any genuine cultural differentiation.

00:23:33.400 When I ask conservatives of these various religious factions those same questions, I am going to get wildly different answers.

00:23:41.700 And we like that.

00:23:42.500 And we like that.

00:23:43.980 What the conservative party has become is an alliance of diverse cultural segments that are trying to protect their children from the urban monoculture.

00:23:53.860 And here you might be like, whoa, what do you mean protect your children?

00:23:56.480 Well, the problem is that before the 90s, progressives and conservatives had about the same number of kids.

00:24:01.100 When progressives got consumed by the urban monoculture, which was a genuine cultural shift from promoting equality to mostly trying to fight in the moment emotional pain, what ended up happening was their fertility rate absolutely crashed.

00:24:15.720 And now they can only continue to exist as a culturally relevant faction by converting children from high fertility cultural groups or importing children from high fertility cultural groups.

00:24:28.280 That means that the iterations of progressive culture that more aggressively target people in the age range where a person is most likely to deconvert from their birth culture between 15 and 23 end up outcompeting the other iterations.

00:24:41.380 And progressive culture begins to do this more and more and more in crazier and crazier ways, specifically through control of the education system and through attempts to control children's entertainment.

00:24:51.340 The point I am making here is I don't believe that this is some sort of conspiracy masterminded by a shadowy cabal.

00:24:59.660 It's just that the iterations of this incredibly low fertility urban monoculture that disproportionately targeted youth ended up converting more members than other factions of it and thus began to represent more and more of it.

00:25:13.540 It's simple cultural evolution.

00:25:15.240 This is terrifying to this diverse alliance of conservative families and I see our primary policy goal in regards to like social agendas is to protect diverse and high fertility families, children's from deconversion, giving the children an opportunity to decide to deconvert when they want to, when they leave the financial support of their parents.

00:25:42.020 But before then, I believe that the rules of the culture are best made by a family.

00:25:48.740 And then people will be like, well, what if it's something, you know, clearly abusive?

00:25:52.360 And then it's like, where do you draw the line?

00:25:53.720 Like, what about Jewish circumcision, for example?

00:25:56.320 This is key to their religion.

00:25:58.420 And yet many other cultural groups would say that this is child genital mutilation and therefore it should be made illegal in our country.

00:26:06.020 And if you were inclined to believe that government overreach in terms of parenting practices isn't that much of a problem, keep in mind that one in three children in America has a child protective services case opened on them.

00:26:18.900 At the end of the day, I think the people who are best able to make decisions about whether a child should be, have to undergo some sort of cultural sacrifice or unusual cultural technique or parenting technique or tradition are people who have undergone that themselves.

00:26:35.740 I am okay with, for example, Jews who themselves were circumcised deciding to, after a lifetime of living with that, make that decision for their own kids.

00:26:46.200 Yeah. And I think, so when it comes to like adult issue legislation, I think that the bigger policy is leave this up to people.

00:26:57.020 For example, we are not against gay marriage.

00:26:59.780 We are not against, you know, sort of legislating how adults live their lives.

00:27:03.900 Well, and I'd also point out that Trump has really moved in this direction as well.

00:27:08.640 Yeah.

00:27:08.860 So, you know, if you look at, for example, a lot of people are like, oh, you really just mean like Christians and stuff like that.

00:27:13.760 But no, you know, you look, who was doing the prayers at the RNC just the other day?

00:27:18.340 That was Hamid Dhillon.

00:27:19.940 That was a Sikh prayer.

00:27:21.540 And people have been like, well, some Republicans got mad that she did a Sikh prayer.

00:27:25.320 Like they were talking about how Nick Fuentes was fuming about it.

00:27:27.520 When was the last time Nick Fuentes was at anything relevant?

00:27:31.500 Well, of course he would have to.

00:27:32.920 I mean, he's, it's his brand.

00:27:34.340 And what progressives try to choose obscure racists to argue that the conservative party has a racist base.

00:27:42.540 Yet here I will put on screen a poll done by FiveThirtyEight, a mainstream polling organization, showing that until Obama was elected president, more Democrats than Republicans said they would not vote a black person president.

00:27:55.420 And you can see by these various graphs I'm putting on screen here that look at different types of racism, that there really isn't a disproportionately racist Republican base.

00:28:03.100 And there never has been, at least not since the 70s or so.

00:28:07.100 And what does this mean?

00:28:08.620 This means that you have been manipulated by a media into believing that far fringe extremists make up any relevant portion of the party.

00:28:19.860 Well, and you, I mean, I think anyone can understand why this would happen.

00:28:23.460 You know, we live in an age where outrage drives clicks, where algorithms are driven by whatever gets the most engagement, not whatever is the most reasonable or correct or smart, but by what makes people either really angry or laugh a ton.

00:28:38.940 And of course that means you're going to get crazy extreme views elevated from all sides.

00:28:44.660 Well, yeah, but it's important to note that the crazy extreme views on the right are not being implemented into policy.

00:28:51.120 Not at all, no.

00:28:52.600 On the left are being implemented into policy and are being taught to children.

00:28:57.280 Nick Fuentes isn't teaching your children.

00:29:00.920 He's not in public schools.

00:29:03.160 He's not even allowed on YouTube.

00:29:06.000 Who is teaching your children?

00:29:07.980 Who is being paid by the government to teach your children what is real?

00:29:12.380 What is make believe?

00:29:13.800 What is socially normative?

00:29:15.460 What is wrong?

00:29:16.600 What is right?

00:29:17.340 This has been my first year in preschool with a class of my own teaching alongside another queer neurodivergent educator, and we have been rocking our two's class.

00:29:31.620 But our teaching team is shifting, and a new person is being onboarded, someone with many years of experience.

00:29:37.640 So today at the lunch table, when the topic of gender and genitals came up, one of our students plainly looked up and said,

00:29:45.900 Well, I'm a girl today, but I know that Teacher Coe isn't.

00:29:49.380 No, they're envy.

00:29:51.720 And the look on the incoming teacher's face was priceless.

00:29:57.160 She was shocked in a good way, and she just looked around at the two of us and said,

00:30:02.340 This class is incredible, and I am so impressed.

00:30:05.360 Let me say it again for those in the back row.

00:30:16.520 CRT is not being taught below law school.

00:30:20.560 Those of you that are against it are being misled by the media about what CRT and where and when it is taught.

00:30:29.160 My governor has put into place some ridiculous legislation that many governors across the country put into place, such as,

00:30:37.600 I can't teach critical race theory.

00:30:39.920 So, teachers, in the past, we've been activists.

00:30:44.440 After the show of last year, we really need to stand up and do what's right for our kids right now.

00:30:49.140 So, this is a call to action, teachers. 0.97

00:30:52.060 We've got to stand up and fight for our kids, because this is bulls**t. 0.71

00:30:54.680 Do your students call you by your first name or Mr. or Miss? 0.72

00:30:57.860 Great question.

00:30:58.760 This is actually a classic question.

00:31:00.220 Here's your answer.

00:31:01.100 Currently, my students just call me Desmond or Desi.

00:31:03.440 First name.

00:31:04.300 However, I have been at schools that go by last name.

00:31:06.520 Those schools, I go by Teacher Fambrini.

00:31:08.600 I am gender fluid, so I don't go by Mr. or Miss.

00:31:11.400 I go by teacher, because I am a teacher.

00:31:14.040 So, Desmond, Desi, or Teacher Fambrini?

00:31:16.120 I'm starting to get a little emotional looking at the new masks I got for a couple reasons.

00:31:22.940 I've had American flags put up in every classroom.

00:31:25.380 We're going to have to say the Pledge of Allegiance.

00:31:27.120 And I'm not going to be able to talk about basically any of the things that I have on

00:31:33.860 these masks.

00:31:35.460 Hey, y'all.

00:31:36.040 Let me introduce you to our non-binary alpaca.

00:31:38.920 The kids voted on a gender-neutral name, Alex, for them.

00:31:42.260 Alex was there to help me during the really quiet moments when nobody would talk during

00:31:45.620 virtual learning.

00:31:46.720 Yes, they were so quiet!

00:31:48.380 But then I also took it as an opportunity to teach my students about how to respect people's

00:31:52.620 pronouns.

00:31:53.340 Did Alex ever get misgendered?

00:31:55.800 Yes.

00:31:56.480 But then it opened up some teachable moments about what to do when that would happen.

00:31:59.480 For example,

00:32:00.100 Hey, Mr. Vung, did he just wake up from his nap?

00:32:02.800 Oh, do you mean did they wake up from their nap?

00:32:04.600 Yeah, they just did.

00:32:06.040 I would apologize quickly, make the correction, and move on.

00:32:08.140 I started off modeling how to correct somebody, and then afterwards, my students would correct

00:32:12.120 each other whenever somebody would misgender Alex here.

00:32:15.500 Representation in the classroom matters.

00:32:17.140 My kids were fifth graders, and they still got a kick out of Alex.

00:32:20.200 Oh, yes, and here's Alex's friend, Lincoln the Llama, who goes by pronouns he him.

00:32:24.000 At first, my students thought that he had very feminine features, so they thought that

00:32:27.020 he was a girl.

00:32:27.920 And this is why we should never assume somebody's gender just based on what they look like.

00:32:31.340 All right, Lincoln, say something.

00:32:32.620 Hello.

00:32:33.220 My students were really surprised how low his voice sounded.

00:32:35.540 Don't assume.

00:32:35.920 The crazy extreme views on the right are not what your children are being exposed to

00:32:40.320 in elementary school, in middle school.

00:32:42.540 Why do you think that is, by the way?

00:32:44.480 Why do I think that is?

00:32:45.760 Because they don't actually represent a large pool of people.

00:32:49.160 The crazy extreme views on the left actually represent a large portion of the left's base.

00:32:54.040 I mean, here I'm showing statistics that show this is true.

00:32:56.540 But let's get into Trump's actual positions, because I think a lot of people have been lying

00:32:59.920 to about what Trump's positions are.

00:33:01.360 So a lot of people are like, well, you know, Trump is against gay marriage, right?

00:33:07.160 But you can look at, or here I'll read a tweet by Richard Hanania about what happened at the

00:33:12.140 RNC.

00:33:13.040 Trump personally dictated the new RNC language on abortion and gay marriage.

00:33:17.560 His team put the delegates in a room, took their phones.

00:33:20.400 Trump said, you're going to pass this and you're going to do it quickly.

00:33:24.140 Night of nines for social conservatives.

00:33:26.040 Mr. Trump made clear to his team, and now this is written from the perspective of somebody

00:33:30.880 who was there.

00:33:31.860 Mr. Trump made clear to his team that he wanted the 2024 platform to be his and his alone.

00:33:36.460 He wanted it to be much shorter and simpler and in some cases, vaguer.

00:33:39.520 He was especially focused on language about abortion, which he recognized was a potentially

00:33:43.640 potent issue against him in a general election.

00:33:46.300 He wanted nothing in the platform that would give Democrats an opening to attack him.

00:33:49.600 And he made it clear to aides that he was perfectly fine with bucking social conservatives for whom

00:33:56.000 he had delivered a tremendous victory by reshaping the Supreme Court with a conservative supermajority.

00:34:00.940 Trump also stressed that he did not want to define marriage as between one man and one

00:34:04.520 woman.

00:34:05.140 This is coming from Trump.

00:34:06.860 And in his official platform position, instead, the document contains a vague statement open

00:34:12.140 to interpretation, quote, Republicans will promote a culture that values the sanctity of

00:34:16.580 marriage, end quote. 0.97

00:34:17.420 So why is Trump making these moves on things like abortion and on things like gay marriage?

00:34:23.220 Because it is what he is siding with this new right faction.

00:34:28.060 And the new right faction is building a set of, because if you look at the paleoconservatives,

00:34:35.120 there are some areas where the new right and the paleoconservatives crash.

00:34:39.240 And so it makes sense for them to have compromise in some places.

00:34:43.800 Generally, the new right is fairly pro-gay rights.

00:34:46.780 So they're just against what is a cult that's essentially grown within parts of the trans

00:34:51.860 movement that targets, you know, kids as young as three.

00:34:55.000 And that is completely uncalled for.

00:34:56.820 And we will talk about that in a second.

00:34:58.340 But in regards to adults deciding to get married if they want to, I don't really see how that

00:35:03.240 affects anyone else.

00:35:04.580 And I don't see why we as a government should have any hand in that at all.

00:35:09.260 But if we are going to make marriage a legal institution, we should not be deciding who

00:35:14.380 should and who should not be able to get married. 0.94

00:35:16.620 One of the primary causes that led to the American Revolution was the British government

00:35:20.980 making it illegal for Presbyterian ministers to marry people and sending out Anglican ministers

00:35:26.380 to do it instead to decide who can get married and what those ceremonies should be. 0.98

00:35:31.000 Some religions in the United States believe that gay people can get married.

00:35:35.760 We need to allow those individuals to get married under those religions, or we are doing what 0.99

00:35:43.580 the British did. 0.65

00:35:44.540 We are legislating what religions are true and what religions aren't true. 0.94

00:35:49.320 And I don't think any Republican wants government bureaucrats to have power to determine how we

00:35:55.800 should be interpreting our Bibles.

00:35:57.500 And so you, and then I point out, so why else is he doing this?

00:36:00.940 It's also because it's what most Republicans want.

00:36:02.800 And I think a lot of people, especially...

00:36:05.760 Especially young Republicans.

00:36:06.800 If you look at where the party is going.

00:36:09.780 So if you look at Gallup polling from 2021 showed that 55% of Republicans overall supported

00:36:15.480 same-sex marriage.

00:36:16.360 And in 2015, about 63% of Republicans under 30 supported protecting LGBT individuals from

00:36:22.780 discrimination.

00:36:24.260 From Pew, nearly half of Republicans younger than 30 say that abortion should be legal in any

00:36:29.320 or most cases, 47%.

00:36:31.460 So the stance that we generally take on abortion is we should be stricter on it than we currently

00:36:35.960 are.

00:36:36.300 I do not think that a baby that has a nervous system and it appears they can feel should

00:36:41.820 be getting aborted. 0.60

00:36:43.120 I think that that is killing a human being.

00:36:45.160 However, I think before the nervous system really starts developing, I am not that antagonistic

00:36:49.800 to abortion. 0.52

00:36:50.840 So what week cutoff would you have on this, Simone?

00:36:53.240 Well, I hope pretty much 15 weeks is a reasonable place to be.

00:36:58.520 And that's where I think most people stand on this.

00:37:01.060 Yeah.

00:37:01.280 Pennsylvania as a state is past that.

00:37:04.320 So yeah, admittedly, I'd be super fine with more restrictions in Pennsylvania, but not all

00:37:11.520 the way to nothing.

00:37:12.980 Only, you know, to 15, basically.

00:37:15.120 So here I need to talk a little bit about trans stuff, because this is an area where we are

00:37:20.800 going to piss off a lot of progressives, but it is something that we need to begin to admit

00:37:25.760 as a society.

00:37:27.120 A cult used the fact that trans people, that we were not supposed to attack them, and that's

00:37:32.480 fine.

00:37:32.960 I believe that there are, you know, I think if you believe that there are gender differences

00:37:36.840 between male and female brains, it only makes sense that sometimes a person might be born

00:37:41.220 with a brain that is somehow more like the opposite gender than like their own gender. 0.92

00:37:47.260 But, and that those people would need to be protected from discrimination, I understand

00:37:51.740 that, and I'm okay with that.

00:37:53.980 What I am not okay with is that whenever you say, okay, here's the group, and we need to

00:37:59.460 do everything we can to protect them, then certain malevolent strains, often self-replicating

00:38:04.980 memes, will begin to grow within those communities.

00:38:07.820 And people will begin to use those communities' identification to overreach.

00:38:13.320 You will get, like we had in Pennsylvania, what was likely just a cis guy in a middle school,

00:38:19.700 but who just learned that he could identify as a woman and prevent himself from having

00:38:24.360 to face punishment for his actions, to victimize young women.

00:38:28.660 He had created a hit list.

00:38:30.300 This list was brought to the teachers of his school by a young woman.

00:38:33.460 Then the teachers ignored it, and later that very same day, he savagely beat one of these

00:38:39.040 girls until she had to go to a hospital. 1.00

00:38:41.100 And I think that we need to stop just saying, believe anyone, especially when you're dealing

00:38:46.840 with children.

00:38:47.640 It's genuinely really good grooming advice.

00:38:50.160 On April 4th, 2023, Postcard reveals he's in contact with four minors, age 9 to 13.

00:38:55.800 I've so far sent it to four minors between the ages of 9 and 13.

00:38:59.300 I hope it encourages them to transition.

00:39:01.400 When the Oncazone animation became a meme, they got excited over its virality among kids.

00:39:06.600 Manadrain and Orion also fantasized about getting kids on hormones.

00:39:10.040 Orion was the manager, coercing him every step of the way.

00:39:13.040 This is apparent by how he talked about him to others.

00:39:15.520 Has he started hormones yet?

00:39:16.780 Yes, but not effectively. 0.98

00:39:18.100 I guess that's what you'd expect, just telling a retard to buy hormones. 1.00

00:39:21.100 They bought estrogen, but no anti-androgen. 0.51

00:39:23.380 It would have been more fun if he started hormone blockers at like 12.

00:39:26.400 Haha, isn't that true for everyone?

00:39:27.960 Don't worry, I'll make him into a good girl.

00:39:30.360 Don't blow up our spot, bro.

00:39:31.840 All T-slurs are like that. 1.00

00:39:33.200 If you can trust me around your kid, it'd be transphobic not to. 1.00

00:39:36.160 Me with daycare tots.

00:39:37.700 To Orion and many of his associates, their identity was little more than a political shield.

00:39:42.240 It clearly worked given he publicly fantasized about assaulting women in bathrooms.

00:39:46.420 Me when transphobic little girls ask me what I'm doing in the women's restroom when 1.00

00:39:50.000 I'm obviously a woman.

00:39:51.380 The two fantasized about assaulting J.K.

00:39:54.000 Rowling's grandchildren.

00:39:55.020 Not letting T-slurs get with your kids is transphobic. 0.99

00:39:58.140 Someone should Harry Potter woman's grandkids. 1.00

00:40:00.660 Orion then goes on to call them turf meats.

00:40:03.020 And this is where new studies, like in 2024, development of gender non-contentedness during

00:40:08.540 adolescent and early adulthood was a study that came out that looked at 11-year-olds who

00:40:13.020 identified as the opposite gender, but who did not receive gender-affirming care.

00:40:17.860 It turns out over 9 in 10 of them, by the time they were 23, completely identified as

00:40:24.180 their birth gender, but it turns out they were just gay or autistic.

00:40:27.560 So that means that when you are applying these kind of treatments to 11-year-olds, the type

00:40:32.480 of chemical castration that comes from puberty blockers that we now know is not safe long-term,

00:40:37.480 that you can't just turn off puberty midway through and then start it up at a later developmental

00:40:42.360 phase and have that have no cognitive effects, no physical effects.

00:40:45.340 I mean, I think it should have been pretty obvious from the beginning that that wasn't

00:40:48.100 true, that we are sacrificing nine gay or autistic children for every one trans child. 0.94

00:40:54.080 We might be healthy and we shouldn't be doing that.

00:40:57.640 And when I say sacrifice, I'm using that term literally.

00:41:00.940 When you consider the fact that when a child is diagnosed with being transgender and then

00:41:06.740 given gender-affirming care, the suicide rate in that population is around 40% to 50%, whether

00:41:14.080 or not they are transgender.

00:41:15.780 This is particularly egregious as we are likely not even helping the individuals that have

00:41:20.780 real gender dysmorphia. 1.00

00:41:22.200 We are transitioning when you consider the fact that there are other treatments for gender

00:41:27.320 dysmorphia that do not have this incredibly high suicide rate associated with them, such 1.00

00:41:32.940 as certain antipsychotics.

00:41:34.460 But the mimetic virus that is the modern progressive movement won't let us talk about this.

00:41:38.900 The moment a child goes into gender-affirming care, you are flipping a coin with their 0.95

00:41:44.700 lives.

00:41:45.600 The Cass report, like what we have seen in the UK, where we have seen other developed

00:41:49.580 world countries begin to move in this direction.

00:41:52.540 This was an unbiased government survey for people who aren't familiar with it that looked

00:41:56.200 into all of this and basically said, we should be rolling it back.

00:41:59.840 And even as I'll add this in post about what was found at that one clinic, what is most disturbing

00:42:05.660 is that after a year on blockers, a significant increase was found in the first item, quote,

00:42:11.020 I deliberately try to hurt or kill self, end quote.

00:42:15.420 This is in the youth survey questionnaire.

00:42:17.280 So it was increasing, puberty blockers increase, even by Travis Stock's own, as pro-trans 0.77

00:42:23.220 as you can think it, they just didn't want to publish this, increases bubicidality. 1.00

00:42:27.580 But that they knew that this was causing more harm.

00:42:30.480 They found internal memos that showed that statistically, the gender-affirming care was

00:42:34.940 increasing children's risk of unaliving themselves, but they didn't publicly release this information

00:42:39.880 because it didn't go with the cult's agenda.

00:42:42.900 The clue that is the holy guide to living pure.

00:42:45.780 This will help explain.

00:42:47.440 First.

00:42:48.000 Her name's Lorraine, too? 1.00

00:42:56.000 We're all Lorraine, and you will be Todd, a name chosen especially for you.

00:43:02.320 Oh, you're an oppressed minority. 1.00

00:43:05.460 You're a cult!

00:43:09.740 Excuse me, are y'all with the cult?

00:43:11.960 We're not a cult.

00:43:13.380 We're an organization that promotes love.

00:43:15.540 Yeah, this is it.

00:43:16.200 And this is really scary to me that this was allowed to happen, and that it's likely happening

00:43:20.680 in the United States as well.

00:43:22.540 So again, cultural sovereignty means that the way I would approach gender-affirming care

00:43:28.080 more broadly is, I guess I wouldn't ban it outright.

00:43:30.460 I would say that if the parents consent to it, then it's okay for children, but both parents

00:43:36.160 need to consent to it.

00:43:37.440 You can't, because a lot of divorced parents will use this as a way to get custody of a 1.00

00:43:40.960 kid, which is, you know, if you can convince a kid of this, then you can easily take them

00:43:46.000 away from the other parent.

00:43:47.000 And it's very easy to convince somebody, you know, as you've always told me, Simone, thank

00:43:50.060 God nobody figured out they could come to me, because Simone is autistic, when she was 1.00

00:43:53.520 young, and tell her, well, it turns out that there's a way that you can feel comfortable

00:43:58.380 with your body, and then that you could enter a group of people, and they would all constantly

00:44:03.580 affirm anything you wanted to believe about yourself.

00:44:05.800 That would have been very difficult for you to resist, you've often said.

00:44:08.600 And even me, I think that would have been difficult to resist.

00:44:10.680 I understand why it's alluring during puberty, these groups.

00:44:15.000 And so if a family wants to do it, I am okay with them doing it.

00:44:17.600 But I think if somebody has, you know, comes from a Christian background or from a Muslim

00:44:20.680 background, no, school should not be beginning to implement it.

00:44:24.540 And this is what we're seeing, this type of care without parents' knowledge, which is

00:44:29.800 current policy in Pennsylvania.

00:44:31.600 And that is horrifying to me.

00:44:34.820 So that's probably one of the spicier things, but it is something that's commonly believed

00:44:39.580 without this group.

00:44:40.200 I mean, yeah, just the, this is something that comes up a lot, that we're also not really

00:44:45.080 in favor of having natal male sportsmen, sportswomen on female teams. 0.98

00:44:53.200 It's just not fair from a competitive standpoint, you know, so that is something.

00:44:59.120 And I feel so ghastly when people are like, it is fair, like, can't you see, like, look

00:45:01.840 at this study or something.

00:45:03.120 It's like, I can look at the pictures.

00:45:04.640 This is obviously not fair.

00:45:06.120 Not only that, I was in the GSA growing up.

00:45:09.080 And I remember somebody being kicked out for being transphobic, for even suggesting that

00:45:14.160 a trans person may one day want to do this.

00:45:16.800 They said that that was a transphobic thing to say.

00:45:19.880 It was considered in the same category of suggestion as somebody being like, well, if you're trying

00:45:25.760 to protect gay rights now, how long until you're trying to argue that people should be able 0.67

00:45:30.580 to marry minors? 0.60

00:45:31.600 And you'd be like, that's a homophobic thing to suggest.

00:45:33.920 The idea even was in the GSA when I was younger that we would have trans people competing on

00:45:40.480 female sports teams was considered homophobic and transphobic. 1.00

00:45:43.700 Yeah, so, you know, that's just a step too far.

00:45:48.360 And we're along those lines, too.

00:45:51.080 Yeah.

00:45:51.540 Now, I'm going to go to immigration, because that's a hot button issue these days.

00:45:54.880 What do we think on immigration?

00:45:56.560 I do not believe that you can have a country that offers a social safety net that is open

00:46:02.200 to immigrants and have porous borders for low-skilled immigrants, because then you have 1.00

00:46:07.740 a huge negative incentive for them to come in.

00:46:09.860 But I am not anti-immigration more broadly.

00:46:11.860 I believe we need to get much stricter on low-skill immigration, and we need to be more permissive 1.00

00:46:18.260 on high-skill immigration.

00:46:20.120 If somebody gets a degree, and Trump has said that this is a policy that he holds, actually,

00:46:24.340 if somebody gets a degree in the U.S., he wants them to be able to immigrate to the U.S.

00:46:29.260 I'm not as loose as Trump is.

00:46:31.440 I think if somebody gets a degree from a top maybe 50 college in the U.S., or gets an advanced

00:46:37.440 degree in the U.S. of a STEM degree, and I think that this should only apply to STEM degrees,

00:46:41.940 not to arts degrees, they should be given automatic entrance into the United States.

00:46:46.260 Because it was insane to me.

00:46:47.900 Like at Stanford, I did my MBA at Stanford, and I had classmates who wanted to stay in

00:46:51.700 the U.S.

00:46:52.040 They would have been a huge economic contribution.

00:46:53.480 And struggled to, yeah, and still had to leave.

00:46:56.160 Yeah.

00:46:56.480 And we lost all that talent after investing in that talent.

00:46:59.280 Immigration policy also plays a really key role as populations start to decline in developed

00:47:04.320 countries.

00:47:05.460 So in the future, we're going to need, obviously, people to staff our economies.

00:47:10.840 Yes.

00:47:11.160 And so a lot of what is going to prop up nations as we start to see fewer and fewer kids being

00:47:17.880 had by those living in them already is immigration.

00:47:20.680 But it's not just about warm bodies taking up jobs and taking care of old people and working 0.53

00:47:25.440 in restaurants and whatnot.

00:47:26.400 It's also about your tax base.

00:47:28.980 Basically, if we do not have people paying into pension funds and keeping up cities and

00:47:34.020 maintaining our social services, we start to fall apart.

00:47:36.780 So the nature of immigration also really matters from this perspective.

00:47:39.860 To Malcolm's point, if we bring in just low-paid, low-skilled workers, we're not going to be

00:47:45.740 receiving money into a tax base that will maintain our economies, that will maintain our

00:47:51.260 social services and our governments.

00:47:53.380 So what really we focus on is bringing in people who will continue to hold up our tax

00:47:58.980 bases, our governments, and our cities.

00:48:00.480 And that has to be higher-skilled, higher-paid people.

00:48:03.100 To word this another way, one of the major problems that we're facing right now throughout

00:48:07.280 the developed world and now in the developing world, because Latin America fell below repopulation

00:48:11.560 rate all the way back in 2019, even by the UN's own statistics, is rapidly falling fertility

00:48:16.760 rates.

00:48:17.240 That means fewer people, and that has a massive economic impact.

00:48:21.920 However, you don't fix this problem by increasing the number of people on welfare.

00:48:26.900 That makes the problem worse.

00:48:29.280 Yeah, it basically accelerates the problem.

00:48:31.980 Yeah, but all of those people are taking money from the government. 1.00

00:48:34.660 Instead of adding money to the government, you have made this problem worse.

00:48:38.020 And so that means in our immigration policy, we have to be acutely aware of this.

00:48:42.560 And now people are afraid of how this might change our culture to take in people from

00:48:47.060 other countries.

00:48:47.740 That's really not a problem when you're dealing with high-skilled, high-earning immigrants.

00:48:52.520 High-earning immigrants almost always culturally assimilate within one generation.

00:48:57.660 The reason why low-skill, low-income immigrants are able to not integrate with the population 1.00

00:49:04.180 is because they are often not engaging with the mainstream economy, which allows them

00:49:08.500 to culturally isolate themselves, which allows these cultural ghettos to form. 0.98

00:49:13.660 And that is not good for a country.

00:49:15.100 It's not good for them.

00:49:16.100 And it's often not good for the country that they left.

00:49:19.540 So, oh, a final point I would make with immigration is I think we need to be more open to using

00:49:24.080 immigration aggressively against our geopolitical rivals.

00:49:27.220 When China turned its back on Hong Kong, I think the U.S. should have been willing to take any 0.93

00:49:34.340 Hong Kong individual with over X amount of income or X amount of savings.

00:49:38.940 I think when Russia became a geopolitical enemy of ours and there were people fleeing the draft,

00:49:45.500 we should have made it very easy for high-skilled immigrants to immigrate into the U.S.

00:49:49.220 because then we create a stronger pull that severely damages these countries' economies.

00:49:54.060 Hong Kong doesn't have value because of the land of Hong Kong.

00:49:58.040 Hong Kong has value because of all of the competent people in Hong Kong.

00:50:02.360 If we can take those people, especially the people who are drawn by the promises of America,

00:50:08.040 that helps us a lot.

00:50:09.860 And those people will assimilate very quickly if they are high earners.

00:50:13.880 Finally, I believe that we should create an alternate path to immigration that allows people 1.00

00:50:18.260 to immigrate more easily if they're willing to pay higher taxes.

00:50:21.360 So a unique tax bracket that allows for very fast immigration.

00:50:28.280 However, as a counter to that, I also think that if somebody has immigrated,

00:50:32.100 if they go on welfare or social services for more than a specific time level,

00:50:38.180 they should be deported.

00:50:39.760 I do not think that if you immigrate to our country,

00:50:41.960 you should be able to use social safety nets that this country pays into

00:50:45.560 because that creates very negative incentive systems.

00:50:47.900 All right, next.

00:50:51.000 Foreign policy.

00:50:51.900 What are our beliefs on foreign policy?

00:50:53.800 Generally, I have really liked Trump's foreign policy,

00:50:56.760 which is to say that historically people have either been, you know, hawks or doves,

00:51:02.200 broadly speaking.

00:51:03.320 You know, do we get engaged?

00:51:04.500 Do we act as the world police?

00:51:05.920 Do we try to?

00:51:07.400 We don't take that position at all.

00:51:08.840 Our goal as America is America's interests first. 0.77

00:51:12.020 However, America's interests first means that we need to pay attention 0.53

00:51:14.880 to what's going on internationally,

00:51:16.820 what's going on with our trade partners,

00:51:19.080 what's going on in regions that we rely on for selling to.

00:51:23.620 You know, a person could be like,

00:51:25.580 oh, I don't care that there's a person randomly murdering people

00:51:28.700 on the streets outside my house.

00:51:30.180 But if your house makes its money by selling to those people 0.98

00:51:33.060 who are being murdered, well, then that matters.

00:51:35.400 OK, so I think that we should intervene in foreign affairs,

00:51:41.660 but in very constrained ways,

00:51:44.980 but also much more aggressively than we have historically.

00:51:47.680 So what did that look like?

00:51:48.600 That looks like what Trump would do.

00:51:50.100 Somebody would cross a line.

00:51:51.380 He'd draw a red line.

00:51:52.300 Somebody would cross it.

00:51:53.280 He'd send a few missiles into their country.

00:51:55.160 Be like, if you escalate, I escalate.

00:51:57.200 And a lot of people historically thought that this would lead

00:52:00.160 to a continuing cycle of escalation on each side.

00:52:02.760 But when you make the lines that you're drawing very clear,

00:52:06.160 i.e., you do this, I do this.

00:52:08.280 If you do this to counter this, then I'm doing this.

00:52:10.700 It doesn't lead to cycles of escalation.

00:52:13.140 I call this the bop strategy. 0.55

00:52:16.620 By that, what I mean is you need to lightly,

00:52:20.020 but immediately punish wrong actions by foreign actors

00:52:24.280 and not be afraid to do that and not be afraid of escalation.

00:52:28.100 And I think that we have been too cowardly to do that for a long time.

00:52:33.420 And that has led to the spillout of larger conflicts

00:52:37.000 that might not have happened

00:52:38.640 had they thought that this sort of retaliation could happen.

00:52:44.160 For example, there's the famous meeting with Trump and Putin.

00:52:48.800 And many people are like, why didn't Putin invade Ukraine?

00:52:51.200 And Trump said, well, there was a meeting where he told Putin,

00:52:54.100 if you do that, all these beautiful minorets you see out here,

00:52:57.560 they'll all be gone.

00:52:59.260 Allegedly, it was all those golden turrets.

00:53:02.580 All those golden turrets.

00:53:04.020 Imagine if you just selectively sent missiles

00:53:07.680 to blow up every one of the turrets in Moscow. 0.54

00:53:11.040 That would be culturally a pretty big slap in the face.

00:53:15.100 But it's not the type of slap in the face

00:53:17.040 that could be used to justify a nuclear escalation.

00:53:20.400 And that's the type of thing that prevents people

00:53:24.180 from escalating conflicts. 0.72

00:53:25.540 And it's the type of crazy nonsense

00:53:27.200 that people are never sure if Trump is really going to do.

00:53:30.520 And that's what allowed him to have

00:53:33.080 such a peaceful term as president.

00:53:35.760 What I like about what appears to be

00:53:38.120 the new rights foreign policy

00:53:39.420 is that it's very pragmatic and it's America first.

00:53:42.920 What benefits American citizens

00:53:44.740 and what do American citizens need?

00:53:46.560 So from that perspective, it's less ideological,

00:53:50.640 it's more pragmatic, and it's not a blanket policy.

00:53:53.980 For example, J.D. Vance,

00:53:55.720 though he's very for a swift end to conflict in Ukraine,

00:53:59.760 he's not as bullish on major support in Ukraine,

00:54:02.940 whereas he is pretty bullish on support for protecting Taiwan

00:54:06.560 because he sees the strategic importance of Taiwan

00:54:09.880 vis-a-vis the United States

00:54:11.140 as being a much more salient issue

00:54:13.660 than sort of Ukraine versus the United States.

00:54:16.260 And I should point out a larger point

00:54:18.100 on his position on Ukraine,

00:54:19.940 which I'm actually coming around to.

00:54:22.420 He's like, what are we really fighting over at this point?

00:54:25.060 We're fighting over small amounts of land.

00:54:27.480 We have already shown Russia,

00:54:28.860 we've already shown China through our support of the Ukraine

00:54:31.020 that we're willing to make this type of conflict costly to them.

00:54:34.940 So now, do we wait 10 years

00:54:37.820 so that Ukraine can maybe take back its land

00:54:40.600 and spend hundreds of thousands more lives

00:54:43.700 and spend billions more dollars?

00:54:46.260 Or do we end this now and say,

00:54:49.100 look, it's mostly out in the wash at this point.

00:54:51.340 We don't need to worry about further Russian escalation

00:54:53.960 because people are like, oh, it'll attack Europe next.

00:54:55.760 No, it won't.

00:54:56.420 They've expended their entire generation of soldiers

00:54:59.300 and they have a fertility rate of like 1.3.

00:55:02.720 They cannot replace those soldiers with their current fertility rate. 0.98

00:55:06.760 They are about halving their population every generation at this point.

00:55:11.000 Russia has detoosed itself.

00:55:14.560 At this point, is it really worth the cost in human lives?

00:55:18.520 Yeah, it's bad.

00:55:19.440 We shouldn't allow bad actors to get what they want,

00:55:21.300 but is it really worth hundreds of thousands of young lives for land?

00:55:26.800 I don't think so.

00:55:28.080 Not at this point.

00:55:29.560 Now, what do we think on environmentalism?

00:55:32.880 Yeah, so again, I think J.D. Vance shows exactly the kind of clear-minded insight

00:55:43.460 that I love with regard to energy, the environment.

00:55:48.100 He is, for example, in favor of, we'll say, clean natural gas pipelines.

00:55:52.380 You know, he's like, yes, put a pipeline through a forest.

00:55:54.840 I don't care.

00:55:55.920 Let's focus on minimizing damage.

00:55:57.680 Yes, but we're not going to run against it.

00:55:59.520 But he's also very in favor of nuclear, which is one of the most practical,

00:56:04.060 clean energy sources available in our time that we really should be focusing on.

00:56:08.780 And energy is a major environmental plus national security issue right now,

00:56:13.960 especially with the rise of AI.

00:56:16.040 So I think that that's really the best approach to take.

00:56:19.820 I think the fact that sustainability and the environment has become

00:56:24.780 a highly politically polarized issue is a travesty that we may be emerging from slowly.

00:56:32.860 I'd say that, you know, when we talk about bull moose republicanism,

00:56:36.060 it's not just the trust busting.

00:56:37.440 It's also the way that Teddy Roosevelt creating our national park system.

00:56:41.340 I believe that for many traditional American cultures,

00:56:45.140 having healthy wilderness is core to their cultural traditions.

00:56:49.560 Hunting, fishing, hiking.

00:56:51.960 We need to protect our land and our streams.

00:56:56.560 That means keeping clean rivers.

00:56:59.220 That means keeping healthy woodlands and preventing development on them.

00:57:03.920 Yeah, and it's also not even as though traditional, stereotypical old conservatives hated nature,

00:57:09.320 to your point, right?

00:57:10.360 The classic hunting, fishing, nature loving.

00:57:13.240 This is not a politicized issue.

00:57:15.600 So even the fact that because we're talking about right and left,

00:57:18.920 and we're saying, well, we have to have stances on the environment is kind of funny.

00:57:22.580 Because really, all humans and all nations and everyone who cares about their nation

00:57:27.000 should be caring about sustainable management of the land of their country.

00:57:32.580 What you're saying is correct, but the left fundamentally doesn't care about that.

00:57:36.920 And we need to talk about what leftist environmentalism has become.

00:57:39.860 It's become deontological environmentalism.

00:57:42.540 Performative environmentalism.

00:57:44.160 Well, more than that.

00:57:45.480 Anything that affects the environment is therefore an intrinsic negative.

00:57:48.940 You talk about something like an oil pipeline.

00:57:50.960 It really doesn't have, putting an oil pipeline through a national park really doesn't have

00:57:55.680 that much effect.

00:57:56.720 It is a single strip of land for vast efficiency gains.

00:58:01.540 Because what's the oil doing if you're not building the pipeline?

00:58:04.400 It's going on trucks.

00:58:06.180 And it's going on tankers.

00:58:08.260 And those emit fossil fuels.

00:58:10.480 It is all performative.

00:58:11.840 That's why they hate nuclear power, even though we know that when it is well-maintained, it

00:58:16.940 is largely safe outside of natural disasters.

00:58:19.920 So yes, pay attention to not putting it where natural disasters are.

00:58:23.220 But if you're talking about what actually is green fuel, you're looking at things like

00:58:26.540 nuclear.

00:58:27.420 But it also means that a lot of leftist environmentalism is also, I'd almost say like downstream of

00:58:33.720 bizarre conspiracy theories.

00:58:36.360 It's like, oh, well, you need to do this.

00:58:37.780 And you need to do this.

00:58:39.260 And you need to do this.

00:58:40.680 And it's these huge webs of everything like that.

00:58:43.520 And you need to save this one little species that blah, blah, blah. 0.98

00:58:47.380 I'm like, no, screw it.

00:58:48.580 Build a dam.

00:58:49.360 Dam?

00:58:49.680 That's hydropower.

00:58:50.640 That's useful, right?

00:58:51.300 Yeah, build the dam. 0.64

00:58:52.420 I'd say, yeah, save the tree.

00:58:54.300 Like that forest?

00:58:55.200 Save that forest, okay?

00:58:57.260 But don't tell people they can't build a pipeline through it, okay?

00:59:01.420 Somebody's dumping chemicals in the streams?

00:59:03.740 Yeah, stop them from dumping chemicals in the streams.

00:59:06.440 But a ban on plastic bags or straws?

00:59:10.360 That's getting ridiculous, okay?

00:59:12.780 Especially when it was the left that put masks on everyone, which is now something like

00:59:18.720 a third of all waste in the ocean.

00:59:21.460 It is insane how bad this has gotten.

00:59:26.200 It is all performative and in a way that causes much more environmental damage in the long run

00:59:31.220 instead of just being sane about this and saying, let's protect our environment as a cultural

00:59:37.520 asset in the same way that Teddy Roosevelt did.

00:59:42.400 So to sum up this, like, because a lot of these can feel like independent, maybe unrelated

00:59:48.680 policy issues.

00:59:49.440 And I'd say that pretty much the entirety of the new right is downstream of four core philosophies.

00:59:57.780 One, anti-bureaucratic.

01:00:01.140 All large bureaucracies lead to inefficiencies, which leads to evil and suffering.

01:00:06.320 We need to reform our bureaucracies.

01:00:09.000 Two, family sovereignty.

01:00:12.540 The family should be able to make its own cultural choices, choices about how it educates

01:00:17.180 its children, and choices about how it relates to its children.

01:00:19.920 Did you know that 37% of kids have had CPS called on them in America?

01:00:24.020 That is a huge waste of tax dollars and a sign of just public overreach.

01:00:28.620 We should be allowed to have our kids walk to school without having CPS called on us and

01:00:33.200 our kids taken away.

01:00:33.960 There was a mother in the U.S. who was sent to jail because she allowed her 14-year-old

01:00:39.100 to babysit her 8-year-old.

01:00:41.080 That is insane.

01:00:42.820 The government should not be making decisions around what's safe for our kids or not safe.

01:00:48.380 Three, pragmatic.

01:00:50.060 That's how we approach the economy.

01:00:51.560 That's how we approach foreign policy.

01:00:53.240 That is how we approach everything.

01:00:54.620 Be pragmatic.

01:00:56.220 Don't follow larger ideologies like just small government, just large government, just always

01:01:01.040 intervene, just always not intervene.

01:01:02.680 Know what you're trying to optimize for, which is the best interest of the American people,

01:01:07.260 and then look for the most pragmatic way to optimize for that.

01:01:11.440 And four, be willing to make large changes.

01:01:16.080 The existing system cannot keep operating as it's operating.

01:01:20.740 When Trump said drain the swamp, what he fundamentally meant is we need to replace large portions of

01:01:26.840 our current government bureaucracy or remove them because they are not working.

01:01:31.180 And this is a national security issue at this point.

01:01:35.760 Today, Microsoft went down all around the planet because they were interfacing with an antivirus

01:01:43.120 software, a computer protection software that was made by a company that was overly focused on DEI.

01:01:47.880 Just a few weeks ago, we had one of the biggest secret services failures in American history.

01:01:55.360 What has secret service been primarily focused on for the past half decade?

01:01:59.500 DEI.

01:02:00.140 So much so that they now have a woman running the secret service. 0.99

01:02:03.020 And you could say, what, do you think that a woman can't run the secret service? 1.00

01:02:06.700 And I'm just saying, realistically, was there a man who was more qualified for that role?

01:02:13.120 Oh, most certainly, because there's just more men in the military, and they've been in these

01:02:18.280 positions for longer.

01:02:19.580 So it seems to me almost impossible that she was the most qualified person for this position.

01:02:24.860 And downstream of that, it led to incredibly deleterious mess ups that could have been avoided.

01:02:33.600 And when you're talking about stuff like the FAA that controls our planes in the sky, employing

01:02:39.600 people specifically because they don't like science and don't take orders well, this is

01:02:45.560 going to lead to an American Chernobyl. 0.74

01:02:49.200 We need to take this seriously.

01:02:50.980 And I believe a new branch of government needs to be created.

01:02:53.840 That specific role, and obviously, we wouldn't be doing this at the state level, but I would

01:02:57.700 recommend that the new right begin to advocate to this.

01:03:00.440 That specific role is churning through government organizations and cutting out these DEI cancers

01:03:07.600 that are promoting bigotry and not meritocracy.

01:03:11.400 What we need to be rewarding is meritocratic success.

01:03:15.220 I remember I told this to a reporter once, and they looked at me like I had lost my mind.

01:03:20.260 They said, you're not pro-favoring Black candidates over white candidates.

01:03:24.440 That's literally what they said. 0.95

01:03:25.300 And I go, I'm sorry, old school racist, oh God, what did that racist say?

01:03:32.860 That we should judge people by their character and not according to their skin color?

01:03:39.340 Who was that guy's name?

01:03:40.460 Martin Luther King, famous racist.

01:03:42.760 I agree with him.

01:03:43.820 And I think that we need to go back to what fighting racism used to mean, which was fighting

01:03:50.620 unfair discrimination, not the insane bigotry it has led to.

01:03:59.360 Do you have any final thoughts, Simone?

01:04:02.780 Evidence-based policy.

01:04:04.520 Evidence-based policy.

01:04:06.040 And be willing to let institutions fail.

01:04:08.760 So this is one of the things where like the existing guy you were running against, when

01:04:13.080 he's like, well, if you did, if you allowed money to follow the students, then all the

01:04:17.060 parents would pull their kids out of school.

01:04:18.680 They take them into homeschool programs and our existing public schools would fail.

01:04:22.080 And it's like, hmm, well, I look at all the money that's going to the bureaucrats now.

01:04:27.280 I look at the results that we're seeing as we pour more and more money in.

01:04:31.100 And I'm thinking maybe we shouldn't view that as the end case.

01:04:36.240 If it would cause the school system to fail, then we need to develop new systems.

01:04:40.080 It wouldn't.

01:04:40.480 But here's the thing is it wouldn't cause the school system to fail.

01:04:43.460 It would force the school system to reorient itself around student outcomes.

01:04:47.520 The only way that you can reform the existing school system is by making it accountable

01:04:52.340 to parents and students, which right now it isn't.

01:04:55.920 Right now it's accountable to teachers unions.

01:04:58.160 And that's a big problem.

01:04:59.120 I love when Democrats are like, well, but schools form important functions like getting

01:05:04.580 food to food-scarce families.

01:05:06.820 And it's like, why on earth is the school system doing that?

01:05:09.660 Why on earth is the only meal that kid is happening when he's at the school system?

01:05:12.860 These two programs need to be disintermediated anyway.

01:05:16.340 That's insane.

01:05:18.380 If that's why you're putting kids in an environment where by the CDC's own statistics,

01:05:22.820 one in four girls has created a plan to kill themselves every year. 1.00

01:05:26.780 One in 10 kids is trying to unalive themselves every year.

01:05:29.980 But yeah, that's a critical level.

01:05:33.000 And we need to be okay with seriously reconstructing some institutions when they aren't working

01:05:38.340 for us anymore.

01:05:39.860 And this goes across, you know, one of the things that was said by a Black voter recently

01:05:47.160 that really got me is they go, we are being economically lynched by the Democrats.

01:05:51.960 And that's the way I think a lot of Americans feel these days.

01:05:57.600 Do you have any final thoughts?

01:05:59.980 But I'm very hopeful about the future.

01:06:03.000 The fact that I used to think that both sides really just didn't have any decent solutions

01:06:08.740 for our major problems.

01:06:10.740 And now I feel like the new right, as you've defined it, and as we've found that we really

01:06:14.600 resonate with, really could be forging a new path forward that a lot of people can get

01:06:21.360 behind.

01:06:22.320 So while things get kind of dire, and yes, you're describing some really unpleasant scenarios

01:06:29.180 that we've ended up in, I think that our future is bright.

01:06:32.060 And I'm excited for it.

01:06:33.200 I do think so as well.

01:06:36.880 But the thing that has scared me recently is, as the new right has formed into a political

01:06:42.260 faction where I almost agree with every one of their major points, Democrats are evolving

01:06:47.660 into a political faction that I think begins to embody more and more what I see as true human

01:06:52.780 evil. 0.59

01:06:53.100 A group that orders humans in an ethnic-based caste system with Jews at the bottom. 0.97

01:06:58.460 We've seen this before, and I don't want to see what it could lead to.

01:07:03.420 I feel like what we're seeing now, though, is more than ever a disengagement from it and

01:07:10.200 a distaste for the straw man of the right among people who are on the left, but that's just

01:07:17.040 due to a lack of understanding of the right and, more importantly, the new right.

01:07:22.800 And if anything, I'm seeing more and more people starting to either secretly or even publicly

01:07:28.520 detract from how far the left has gone.

01:07:30.920 While you say and argue that the extreme views described by the left are being implemented

01:07:38.260 in policy, and I agree with you that they have been, I think that most people secretly

01:07:43.660 and behind closed doors aren't comfortable with it, and more and more people are beginning

01:07:47.200 to walk away because it's gone too far.

01:07:49.660 Well, let's hope that happens before plane crashes and children die.

01:07:54.480 Yeah.

01:07:56.440 Okay?

01:07:57.540 Yeah.

01:07:57.800 Or we implement DEI policies at a local nuclear plant, and it ends up, you know, this stuff

01:08:05.760 is going to get dangerous if we are not aggressive in ripping it out.

01:08:09.840 It has already gotten dangerous.

01:08:11.260 We're already seeing breakdowns that are causing people to lose.

01:08:14.380 Well, I mean, look at Boeing's famous, very aggressive DEI programs before all of the planes

01:08:19.920 started falling out of the sky.

01:08:22.180 Like, this is no messing around anymore.

01:08:25.100 This is your family's safety.

01:08:26.960 This is your children's safety.

01:08:30.600 Anyway, love you.

01:08:31.820 Love you too.

01:08:32.560 Gorgeous.

01:08:33.000 I think our lifestyle, our, like, our whole thing, you know, our-

01:08:39.040 You tell him you're running, he can vote.

01:08:42.840 He's outside our district.

01:08:44.160 They're based in another district, sadly.

01:08:47.280 Didn't want to vote over there, but he likes the religion.

01:08:52.320 Hey, it's nice that a random stranger can visit our house and be like, you know what?

01:08:56.220 I'm having what these guys are having.

01:09:01.280 Well, most people are like that when they meet us.

01:09:03.440 I know almost nobody who, like, has met us and not liked us, which has been an interesting,

01:09:08.440 like, recurring experience where somebody thinks that they hate us based on, like, preconceived

01:09:13.600 notions or something.

01:09:14.380 And then they meet us for an interview and they plan to do a hit piece.

01:09:16.820 And they're like, I can't bring myself to do this.

01:09:20.520 Like, I'll wait.

01:09:20.860 You're all right.

01:09:21.820 Like, Mary Harrington, for example.

01:09:23.500 She thought she would do it.

01:09:24.260 Or, you know, or we tell them to write a hit piece.

01:09:26.940 And they're like, well.

01:09:28.480 I don't want to.

01:09:29.360 That was what the Guardian piece was.

01:09:30.780 She didn't want to write a hit piece.

01:09:31.760 Well, but their editors are like, screw that.

01:09:34.080 Like, no.

01:09:35.920 As a final note here, any of you who are in or around Pennsylvania's Montco region and

01:09:40.920 are interested in helping with campaign stuff, please reach out and we can connect you with

01:09:45.880 the various teams in the area.

01:09:47.460 Oh, yeah.

01:09:48.100 And I guess people should like and subscribe.

01:09:49.680 That'd be cool.

01:09:50.340 We're going to get a lot of downvotes on this one because it's going to be appearing as

01:09:53.500 an ad to a lot of random people who aren't already following us.

01:09:57.480 So that's not going to be a lot of fun to deal with.
