00:00:51.060A judge in Illinois just ruled illegal immigrants have the right to keep and bear arms.
00:00:56.640President Biden says the House and Senate are working to finalize a package that can be brought to the floor, and he will sign it immediately.
00:01:03.420Today, former President Donald Trump told the Supreme Court he should be granted absolute immunity in the election interference case,
00:01:10.600saying a ruling against him would incapacitate every future president and open them up to blackmail and extortion.
00:01:17.300Last night, a federal appeals court put SB4, basically the law, back on hold, but there is another change.
00:01:24.520The appeal is once again setting off uncertainty along the border.
00:01:29.120The late-night order came from the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
00:01:33.280This comes basically as the U.S. Supreme Court had cleared the way for the strict immigration law
00:01:38.000to allow state law enforcement officials to arrest those who come into this country illegally.
00:01:43.860The closely watched Republican Senate race in Ohio.
00:01:47.860NBC News projects Trump-backed Bernie Moreno has won the GOP primary in the Buckeye State.
00:01:54.600Let's hear a round of applause for a patriot, a hero, and a proud American, Dr. Peter Navarro.
00:03:52.580They're already coming for your children.
00:03:56.140And this is why yesterday we also announced at that event that we signed a deal on a new book that we're putting together, Skyhorse Publishing.
00:04:13.300The book is all about how to understand the enemy, how to identify the enemy, the enemy's playbook, and most importantly, the playbook to defeat them.
00:04:27.580It's called The Unhumans, the secret history of communist revolutions and how to crush them.
00:04:35.320We go through, and this is what we do, is we took the China files.
00:04:39.120We took the Chronicles of the Revolution.
00:04:40.920Everything that you've seen from Human Events Daily that you've seen here on the show, we took all that, synthesized it.
00:04:48.720And we've come up with a system, a system that communists use, whether the communists of the past, the Marxist-Leninists, the Maoists, or the cultural Marxists of today.
00:04:59.280And we show you how to break their system.
00:05:02.960But most importantly, we show you how to effectively fight back.
00:05:08.280The right is up against ascendant cultural Marxism, and they're spending the day today in the House complaining that Biden isn't held to the same standard as Trump.
00:23:26.420If you're against Antifa, you must be a fascist.
00:23:29.420If you think that George Floyd died of a fentanyl overdose, you know, you're, you know, you're, you're banished from the internet, et cetera, et cetera.
00:23:38.420And so this is how, and, and, you know, don't even get me started on the, you know, questioning about the role of women, or if you say anything, you're a misogynist.
00:23:47.420So the idea is they take these quote unquote reform, these reforms positions and then use it against people who, people who are like your sort of old school, old, right.
00:24:01.420Blue pilled conservatives saying, whoa, whoa, I'm, I'm all for equal rights.
00:24:08.420I, I think you guys are just going a bit too far.
00:24:11.420And this is why you find so many people in conservatism, I think, you know, and ending up just acquiescing to this because they never actually draw the line in the sand and say, wait a minute, you guys don't actually care about this stuff.
00:24:25.420You just want to destroy civilization.
00:24:29.420I mean, I think that's certainly the case.
00:24:31.420And, you know, conservatism has a number of disadvantages.
00:24:35.420One is that, um, there's still a struggle on the right to kind of naturally appeal to, um, the young and gifted sort of a, uh, a high human capital attractor.
00:24:50.420There's difficulties there due to a multi multifarious, uh, reasons.
00:24:56.420Um, but then there's also this sense that kind of dispositionally as well as ideologically, um,
00:25:04.420um, conservatism, um, is kind of a, they just want to be left alone.
00:25:12.420I've, I've, I've, I've said in other interviews in different contexts that it's interesting to juxtapose a slogan that I guess is more associated with libertarians, but I think a lot of conservatives dispositionally embrace it.
00:25:24.420This idea of don't tread on me, basically leave me alone.
00:25:28.420Whereas the other side, their slogan, at least for a time was silence is violence, which is an inherently expansionist, aggressive, even kind of imperialist notion.
00:25:40.420And so if there's one person in the room who isn't affirmatively for you, that's an attack on you.
00:25:47.420It's like kind of the, the George Bush neoconservatism, you know, you, if you're, you're not with us, you're against us sort of thing.
00:25:54.420And while it was a huge failure in terms of neoconservatism, it's been a massive success culturally for the left because they take much more active steps.
00:26:06.420They have a cultural vanguard that is not kind of bourgeois.
00:26:10.420And so they're able to do things that conservatives aren't.
00:26:14.420So there, those two things are related, but I do think they account for some, a lot of the striking asymmetry in kind of cultural and institutional power.
00:26:27.420You see, you have a lot of people who's just, whose job it is to be political and cultural activists on the left.
00:26:35.420There's an economy that sustains that. And there are human types who are doing that.
00:26:40.420You know, the single, single women, the whole NGOs, the whole nonprofit industry.
00:26:46.420There are so many things that are disguised, but they're frankly political movements.
00:26:51.420And it's very hard to find the equivalent of that on the right.
00:26:55.420And it's really not set up for that. And the reasons for that are not superficial.
00:26:59.420They go all the way down into the kind of underlying political psychology of what it means to be a conservative,
00:27:06.420which is kind of, you know, don't rock the boat, leave me alone.
00:27:11.420Don't tread on me sort of small business suburbia.
00:27:15.420There are elements of this that kind of correspond to the id of conservatism in America,
00:27:20.420and that are subsidized and sustained by this fact that I mentioned earlier, which is this relative material prosperity.
00:27:27.420So which would be fine, I suppose, if other things were okay.
00:27:32.420But this combination between the material prosperity, relatively speaking, it's getting less and less.
00:27:39.420So as with inflation and everything, but the combination of that and this profound cultural anxiety driven by technology and politics and these other factors,
00:27:50.420that's really a tough and new terrain to be in politically that I think is proven to be especially challenging for conservatives and the right.
00:28:00.420But Darren, if we use government power, what if the left uses government power against us?
00:28:08.420You know, actually, I would I would I would respond to the don't tread on me and say, well, you know,
00:28:13.420there's a software upgrade that needs to be installed among conservatives and say, yes, the Gadsden flag, of course, says don't tread on me.
00:28:20.420But also don't forget, folks, that it also depicts a rattlesnake.
00:28:24.420And the entire point of that being is is supposed to be that once trod upon the rattlesnake strikes.
00:28:33.420It isn't just don't tread on me and I'm going to run away.
00:32:08.420Several years ago, I was executive producer for a documentary called Better Left Unsaid.
00:32:14.420And it was an expose of the very little known history of communist uprisings throughout the world.
00:32:21.420You know, here in the West, everybody is always talking about Nazis this, Nazis that, the far right this, the far right that.
00:32:27.420And the far left is usually seen as a bunch of pot smoking hippies who have protests and hold up pretty signs with rainbow flags and whatnot.
00:32:35.420And that's about the level of harmlessness that they are attributed to in popular culture.
00:33:03.420That's how you show that you're a rebel.
00:33:06.420Your professor might be wearing them when you show up for class.
00:33:10.420Yes, there is something deeply wrong when the ideology that unhumans people, that seizes their rights to life, liberty and property wherever they go across race, across place, across time, across the centuries.
00:33:28.420And there's been almost 300 years of communist revolutions.
00:33:30.420This is what they do wherever they go.
00:33:36.420And because it's not talked about, they can move almost undetected.
00:33:40.420And when there are those who detect their activity, such as Senator Joseph McCarthy, they are maligned as conspiracy theorists, as anti-Semites, as fascists and so on.
00:33:52.420And so working on this film a number of years ago, I thought it is it is time to tell that untold story.
00:33:58.420The film was critically acclaimed by those that we would want it to be critically acclaimed by.
00:34:05.420And I thought, you know, one day I think I think I'll be revisiting this topic.
00:34:10.420And so when you did the Chronicles of the Revolution series in December of this past year, I sent you the movie and I said, dude, this is what I've been talking about here in this.
00:34:19.800And it made sense for us to say, how do we how do we tell these untold stories of communism of the far left when they show up and they do their thing?
00:34:29.860And what are the parallels in the present day and what are the parallels from the past and how to stop the communists or rather those who unhuman everyone wherever they go?
00:34:42.520Hence, it's called the unhumans because this is what they do.
00:34:47.520Something that you've done in going through the material that we put together, China Files, Chronicles of the Revolution, and I see you do it in other work as well, is that you've you've systemized what it is that the unhumans do from place to place.
00:35:05.400It's not always called cultural Marxism or Marxism, Marxist Leninism, Maoism, et cetera.
00:35:09.500There's different new French Revolution, egalitarianism, but there's always different names for what you've done is you've systemized this.
00:35:17.520And come up with not only what their system is, but also found a way to create a competing system or a way for at least dismantling their system.
00:35:27.080Walk us through a little bit how it was that you did that.
00:35:31.280So we first look at what tends to happen when this force of anti-civilization, when they when they rise up, what is it that they do?
00:35:40.380Well, one of the first things that they do is they separate what they see as the haves versus have nots in any society.
00:35:46.720Basically, those those subversives, they look at who are our potential allies, our minions who can do our bidding to help us seize power.
00:35:55.720And after they go about that separating, they then begin messaging.
00:36:00.160And that's where the propaganda begins, the mass manipulation, where they're able to plant their mental model, their their reality, that mass resentment.
00:36:09.340They're able to work it into the people that they've selected as being their targets for their underlings.
00:36:14.120And then what they do is they infiltrate key institutions, important organizations, so on and so forth, so that they can effectively win before fighting.
00:36:24.360They have the upper hand, whereas the powers that be had no idea what was coming, whether it was the white army under Tsar Nicholas II, or whether it was the normal everyday moderates of pre-Civil War Spain, or it's 1950s USA or present day USA.
00:36:45.340You don't see the revolution coming, and that's why it works out so well, and so what we do is we simply, by following their playbook, we can use it against them.
00:36:53.180And we close out the book with a rousing call to action, and a plan and hope that we can win, and we show you how.
00:37:03.980And that's what's really incredible, and I've seen you do this with other writers and other industries.
00:37:10.660You've worked on a ton of books in the past, and that's what you always find.
00:37:14.180And I remember reading your previous book, So Good They Call You Fake, and one of the things that you talk about in there specifically is working with people to find those types of systems.
00:37:22.820And this is typically, you might see it in a business book or a memoir-type work, but what you've done here is you've examined the, you know, and I had all of this information about communists and, you know, these stories and these horrific things that they've done.
00:37:39.560But what I had never really been able to do is actually turn it into a system, and maybe they don't even realize that they're working off of the same system over and over and over.
00:37:49.540But there's one key piece that we came to in the writing, and it's that, you know, people keep asking this question, and I hear it on the right over and over and over, and they say, why do people still keep supporting communism if it's killed 100 million people?
00:38:22.940They look at 100 million dead, and they say that's a good start.
00:38:26.660They say we need more of that because the people that they've killed, they believe, are enemies to whatever the flavor of the particular revolution is.
00:38:45.340People's enemies are always, that's always a famous one.
00:38:49.140But they will say they typically target the same people.
00:38:52.680And it's predominantly the religious, small business owners, landlords, of course, is a huge, huge target for them.
00:39:01.780The same way we see religious, landowners, and patriots, landlords, and landowners, and small business owners being targeted specifically right now today.
00:39:11.880And this is why the things that we go through and detail are actually the same things that we're all experiencing on a regular basis.
00:39:21.500Yes, there is a subtle difference in the post-World War world.
00:39:34.840And you, having a military experience, understand something that a lot of people don't, which is that warfare has changed.
00:39:42.820It used to be what was kinetic war, hot war, shooting, the one with the most bombs, the best navy won in an open conflict.
00:39:51.360Nowadays, wars are described as low-intensity conflict or irregular warfare, where wars can be waged on all fronts, in the information space, in education, cyber warfare, and so on, to achieve military objectives on behalf of a government or regime or a movement.
00:40:12.860But they're so effective at doing it with highly specific targets, they do not provoke an organized response.
00:40:20.300And so when you look at the culture war in the United States and the West at large over the last 60 to 70 years, we see nothing but failure by conservatives, by moderates, by the right, and by the center.
00:41:23.520So just as we started the show yesterday talking about Peter Navarro being thrown in jail, talk about someone who's been in a 14-year legal drama, Julian Assange.
00:41:34.640Apparently, the Department of Justice is now exploring a potential plea deal wherein they would allow Julian Assange to, quote,
00:41:43.140plead guilty to a reduced charge of, quote, mishandling classified information, potentially in exchange for, I would hope it would be in exchange for foregoing trial and foregoing extradition to the United States.
00:41:59.800Hopefully, time served on house arrest or certainly to his time in Belmarsh prison in the U.K. would suffice.
00:42:07.140Even then, I still don't think that that is something that's fair.
00:42:12.300Joshua, this is a perfect example of what we're talking about.
00:42:15.960Here's a guy who, under every other rule, would be simply operating as a journalist in the United States.
00:42:23.940The Washington Post and the New York Times put out classified information every single day.
00:42:32.040And yet Julian Assange, someone who does so without the blessing of the U.S. government and the Western governments and makes them look bad,
00:42:41.140well, he's treated as a terrorist and he's thrown in jail for doing the exact same thing on his blog.
00:42:48.040And again, I would say this to anybody who's dealing with these people, whether you're right, middle, center,
00:42:53.640even if you're one of those like old school liberal Democrats, you have to stop treating them as regular people.
00:43:44.080Well, the revolution is the upending of the old social order.
00:43:49.980It is the replacing of the old values, the old ways with the new ones.
00:43:55.280And that has required significant lawbreaking for the regime to do that.
00:44:01.140And then when someone like Julian Assange calls that out, improves and demonstrates it,
00:44:05.300and he's not, let's say, part of an institution of the far left, like the Washington Post, like the New York Times,
00:44:14.920because he's a solo operator, he is therefore an enemy of the revolution.
00:44:19.340He is someone who's revealing what it is that they're up to, to spy on, to seize the privacy, seize the rights of U.S. and other citizens in the West.
00:45:38.600What exactly were they liberating China from?
00:45:40.880OK, they view the old model as a system that must be overturned and allow for the, quote, liberation of the human, liberation of the people.
00:45:49.840And that doesn't mean the people are going to be put in charge in any meaningful way.
00:45:53.580But they view themselves as the liberators and they will come up with new groups that need liberation.
00:46:00.720I mean, go, go ask, was it Elliot Page, Ellen Page?
00:46:04.120I don't even know which one they're going by today.
00:46:05.700You know, I can't believe the governments and these people are trying to oppress us, poor, marginalized groups.
00:46:11.780And again, and this is where I get into, and we were just talking about this with Darren Beattie, this is why the most loyal foot soldiers of the regime will be those upon which their entire existence and their entire authority is dependent on the regime itself.
00:46:28.860Joshua, only a couple of minutes left with you, but I want to also point out, and you and I will do more talks about this, but it's also a message of hope because these people have been beaten before in the past.
00:46:41.020And we identify and tell the stories of people who have beaten the unhumans.
00:46:48.240There are several ways to defeat a communist revolution uprising, whether it's a traditional one where there's literally blood in the streets and there's mobs waving the red flag, whatever the symbols that they have.
00:46:57.740Or it's more of a covert, highly targeted, what we call in the book, a micro revolution that takes place every single day when the mob, the red mob, brings terror to an individual or to an organization, attempting to dox them, attempting to cancel them, attempting to destroy them.
00:47:18.100And one of them is the most persuasive technique that is the oldest technique in human civilization, and that is reciprocity.
00:47:26.860We talk about reciprocity in the book and how useful it is, but it's the idea that whatever they do to you, you will do to them much heavier.
00:47:37.460That, of course, was the atomic diplomacy strategy that prevented a nuclear World War III.
00:47:43.460If you nuke us, we'll nuke you way worse.
00:47:45.200And as that worked, Americans versus Soviets, it works with humans versus unhumans.
00:47:51.660What you do to us, we will do back to you.
00:47:54.460This is why Francisco Franco, this is why even Julius Caesar, preempting a proto-communist revolution, these were strong men surrounded by strong men.
00:48:06.280And they showed up and they said, in the words of Francisco Franco, wherever I am, there shall be no communism.
00:48:14.600They had the means and they did something with it.
00:48:16.960And so the book is also a call to action for men and women of means, of influence in the popular culture to stop hiding, stop staying anonymous behind your little pack that you throw a few hundred grand to this or that candidate and get involved and do something.
00:48:31.000We have people like Elon Musk who are single-handedly protecting free speech in America where it's otherwise been lost.
00:48:38.960But when you have a one man in the arena, that's a problem.
