Juno News - “The woman’s a communist” - Harris campaign ramps up (Ft. James Lindsay)

00:00:00.000 We're not going back.

00:00:05.800 Kamala Harris' campaign is in full swing, but there's serious reasons to believe that the 0.92

00:00:15.200 momentum is largely due to corporate media coverage as well as online memes. Not only

00:00:20.840 is the legacy media in overdrive trying to boost Kamala's profile, but AI services are

00:00:26.040 now trying to rewrite history and tell lies about Kamala's past. Finally, the Harris campaign 0.99

00:00:32.440 shocked the public this week when it revealed that it would be segregating volunteers based

00:00:37.340 on race, leaving many of us to wonder, is this modern-day Marxism? I'm Rachel Parker,

00:00:43.180 and you're watching Rachel in the Republic.

00:00:44.980 Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Rachel in the Republic. Joining me today to discuss

00:00:58.080 the phenomenon of the Harris campaign is author, speaker, and host of the New Discourses podcast,

00:01:03.420 James Lindsay. James, thanks so much for being here today.

00:01:06.680 Hey, good to see you.

00:01:07.940 So let's start by diving into some of the coverage that we've been seeing of Harris' campaign. We

00:01:12.660 know the legacy media is very supportive of her. We've seen a lot of memes pushing her.

00:01:17.120 If you were just scrolling on X, like I spend a lot of time doing, you'd think that she was a

00:01:21.240 shoe-in. You'd think that she is a very popular candidate. Do you think that this is the reality 0.83

00:01:25.780 on the ground? Is this actual real momentum, or is this something that we're just seeing online

00:01:29.720 and isn't translating into actual support on the ground?

00:01:33.240 I think it's totally fake, honestly. Not that we should become complacent about it,

00:01:37.180 but I actually think it's completely fake. I haven't met a human being in reality,

00:01:42.660 yet, who supports Kamala Harris. I know lots of people who are Democrats who voted for Biden,

00:01:48.100 who voted for Hillary, who I can't even say what they say about Kamala Harris. It's F Kamala, 0.99

00:01:54.520 and they are not big supporters. These are people from New York City. These are people

00:01:58.340 from Blue Bastions in the United States, and she's just absolutely not popular. So I think this

00:02:03.920 is primarily a media creation. What with all of these videos, it was kind of funny, you know,

00:02:10.280 what were they chanting behind her just then in that clip? Not going back, not going back,

00:02:15.060 something like that. But then they're segregating their volunteers for their campaign. What are you

00:02:19.980 talking about? And then the people that are giving the money to Donald Trump primarily right now are

00:02:25.020 people like Elon Musk, who are literally building rockets to go to Mars. It looks very much like

00:02:28.940 one side's going forward and one side's going back, and they've got it completely backwards.

00:02:33.400 But I don't see any organic support. Apparently, last night, she went to some gigantic conference

00:02:39.000 or concert in Atlanta and was going to speak. So they had this huge crowd and was like, look at the

00:02:43.940 huge crowd and was for a concert. And she started to speak and people just started to leave.

00:02:48.340 So I don't think that this is real. I think it's a complete fabrication. I think it's a television

00:02:53.480 show playing out before our eyes. Yeah, I think what you were saying about the event yesterday was

00:02:59.000 pretty stunning. I mean, she had Megan Thee Stallion there. So the fact that she has to pull and convince 0.99

00:03:03.000 these big name artists to come and open for her to try to draw crowds and then immediately begin

00:03:07.640 leaving, like the crowds don't even really respect her enough to stick around for her speech, which

00:03:11.240 I heard was only 30 minutes. Also, I think it's very telling that she even had Megan Thee Stallion,

00:03:15.520 like these are really vulgar artists who sing about really vulgar things. I don't think these are the

00:03:19.560 people that we want to be promoting at the front and foremost of American democracy. But, you know,

00:03:24.040 you've just spoken a little bit about how we seem to be going back and how this seems to not be an

00:03:28.500 organic creation, organic momentum. And one of the things that I've just been so

00:03:32.780 stunned by so far during this campaign is some of the level of attempts to rewrite history.

00:03:38.860 For example, if you were to ask a chat AI service about the Donald Trump assassination,

00:03:43.660 they wouldn't have any answers for you. And at the same time, we've seen people lying and saying,

00:03:47.580 no, Kamala Harris didn't encourage her supporters on X to donate to get BLM supporters out on bail during 0.90

00:03:54.940 the Minneapolis riots. And we've seen so many examples of this during the campaign. I mean,

00:03:59.020 how can the Republicans even begin to combat this when it seems like something that social media

00:04:03.560 platforms, even Facebook on Meta, they were for a while censoring photos of Donald Trump's

00:04:08.680 assassination attempt. I know that policy was reversed. They said it was an error. But how can

00:04:11.840 the Republicans even begin to combat this? They're combating it very effectively, honestly,

00:04:16.640 just by documenting that it's happening, exposing that it's happening. And it's happening rampantly.

00:04:21.440 It's actually, you know, straight out of the 1984 playbook. He controls what is called the eternal

00:04:28.200 present, actually, you know, in which the party's always right. But he controls the past, controls

00:04:32.660 the future is the famous line from Orwell. And I had to pause there because it's like, wait,

00:04:37.200 did Lenin say that or was it Orwell? That was Orwell. Okay. But I mean, yeah, look at this,

00:04:43.000 this inorganic people leaving this concert when Kamala speaks. And compare that with last weekend,

00:04:50.360 Donald Trump spoke at the Turning Point Faith Believers Summit. The Turning Point Faith Believers

00:04:54.760 Summit, that's kind of a niche thing. It was their first attempt at doing a, as an organization,

00:04:59.000 doing a big conference. Everybody knows Turning Point USA does big conferences and Turning Point

00:05:03.400 Action does big conferences, but Turning Point Faith has not tried one before. And so they have this,

00:05:08.880 they anticipate about 2,000 attendees, they get about 2,200. And then it turns out that they announced

00:05:14.260 that Donald Trump's going to speak and suddenly they sell 12 to 1,400 more tickets.

00:05:18.200 And absolutely jam pack the West Palm Beach Convention Center, absolutely full, just because

00:05:25.920 Donald Trump was coming. They had a 50% increase in the number of people who came. And if you've

00:05:30.020 ever seen Trump speak, which I know you have, he tends to speak forever. And everybody stayed the

00:05:35.420 whole time, standing room only. I stood in the back the entire time. And the energy difference is just

00:05:42.060 unbelievable. So again, I think this is just an algorithmic creation. And I think that in a media

00:05:48.100 production, in a stage production, frankly, theater kids pretending that they like Kamala Harris. And I

00:05:54.440 think that the Republicans fight back by exposing it every time. Hey, look, the lady that they just put 0.85

00:05:58.660 up as gushing is an actress. Hey, look, you know, the meta AI is rewriting history in real time. And this is

00:06:06.560 actually shocking to people. More people see this than are going to opine about it publicly. And so

00:06:11.920 the way you combat it is just to keep showing it. So when we talk about people are recognizing this,

00:06:17.460 I mean, when I talk to Americans and I say, do you think that the 2020 election was stolen?

00:06:21.180 Even if they don't believe that it was stolen in terms of fake ballots, they do say, well, you know,

00:06:25.840 Donald Trump was dragged through the mud by a media for four years. So that was really unfair.

00:06:29.900 And, you know, the Hunter Biden laptop story is something that I think has become really prevalent.

00:06:33.680 We saw how that was suppressed online. And now we're seeing that same thing, but in a much fuller

00:06:39.460 scale. And I know that you're saying the Republicans are doing a really good job of combating this.

00:06:44.000 But do you think that people who are in the middle are getting a sense of the fact that they are not

00:06:48.840 receiving information fairly? Do you think that the Republicans message is getting to those people

00:06:52.720 in the middle who the Republicans are going to need to win over to secure government?

00:06:57.060 I honestly don't know. I'm a very online person. What's different between the 2020 election and the

00:07:03.380 2024 election now is that X is effectively a free speech zone. Twitter was highly contoured,

00:07:09.980 to put it mildly, along with the rest. So the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story,

00:07:16.380 among other stories, was actually not that difficult to make happen across social media.

00:07:22.040 And that's not the case now because what's happening on X is actually free speech. And I mean,

00:07:28.640 Elon Musk is putting out very rude and hilarious commentary about his belief in free speech,

00:07:34.620 as a matter of fact. Once again, that shouldn't be repeated. So I don't think that's likely to

00:07:39.700 change. So this is a situation now where it's a very different playing field. I don't know how far

00:07:44.840 into the middle it's reaching. I know it's reaching some because, like I said, I'm hearing

00:07:48.900 from people who are not necessarily very online people who are thinking that the Democrats are up to

00:07:54.500 no good, that this seems very fake and artificial. It's also just jarring. Kamala Harris is one of the

00:07:59.960 least popular political figures in modern history. And now all of a sudden, she's like the greatest

00:08:05.640 thing since sliced bread. And people, it's just jarring to people. It's a cognitive dissonance

00:08:10.000 moment that kind of opens up the opportunity. What I'm more worried about, honestly, is Republicans

00:08:15.280 messaging. It's like the Republican dunk machine, we might call it, can't leave alone the things that

00:08:23.280 actually help Kamala's chances with kind of center left-leaning voters who are very aware that 0.96

00:08:30.900 something's wrong with the Democratic Party, because I hear from them all the time, and they're very

00:08:34.920 uncomfortable with voting for a Democrat, and they're considering voting for a Republican the

00:08:39.780 first time. Then all they're seeing are very sexual jokes or race-based jokes about Kamala Harris,

00:08:45.780 which portrays her in a lot of different ways. But I mean, the simple version is it makes her a

00:08:50.420 sympathetic character. Here are the cavemen right-wingers bullying a woman of color,

00:08:56.840 accusing her of only being able to rise through the ranks by DEI in sexual favors. And it's very 0.91

00:09:02.140 crude and very crass. It makes her actually look sympathetic. But more importantly than that,

00:09:06.780 the entire message of the left, the whole message of Marxism is that there's an unfair system that

00:09:14.240 holds certain people back. And so now you have this woman, if we believe these memes the Republicans 0.52

00:09:19.260 are putting out, you have this woman who rose through the ranks of an unjust system using unjust 1.00

00:09:25.520 mechanisms. So who knows it better than her? And who would be able to get to the top and dismantle that 0.63

00:09:31.000 evil system better than somebody who had to manipulate its circumstances to get to where she is? You're

00:09:36.720 actually, when you make these memes, the Kamala knee pads and whatever else, you're actually just helping

00:09:42.620 her. It doesn't matter if that's true or not. What you want to do and what the Republicans need to do

00:09:47.680 with their messaging isn't just expose this. What they need to focus on with their messaging and

00:09:52.220 what people, everyday people need to focus on when they talk about Kamala Harris isn't all of this or 1.00

00:09:56.980 isn't that she's an idiot. Maybe you should talk about the fact that she's a Marxist, but definitely 0.99

00:10:01.800 you should talk about the fact that the policies she implemented hurt the people she said she was 0.99

00:10:06.540 trying to help. When she implemented crime policies in San Francisco, they hurt black people, 0.78

00:10:10.940 they hurt Latinos, they hurt immigrants. When she does her stuff with the border, it's going to hurt 1.00

00:10:15.660 legal immigrants. It's also going to hurt illegal immigrants by creating a permanent underclass in 0.82

00:10:21.460 our society. This is all just very damaging. When she pushes the transgender thing, she's hurting 1.00

00:10:26.540 women. And you could just go down the line. Whatever group she says she's trying to help, 1.00

00:10:32.000 she actually hurts and her policies and their outcomes reflect that. That's what people should 0.94

00:10:36.540 be focusing on. So when you talk about people should actually be fighting her policies and not maybe

00:10:41.880 this, you know, untoward history that she may or may not have, which we continuously see sort of

00:10:46.520 what's being called the freak right doing. One of the things that is sort of a new phenomenon is that

00:10:50.740 when she was vice president, Kamala Harris was named The Borders Are. And now we're seeing the media

00:10:54.660 going into overdrive saying, no, she was never The Borders Are. She was never in charge of the

00:10:57.680 border. We know she was. They themselves said it time and time again, just a few years ago. Now you're

00:11:02.320 saying it's important that we stick that record to her. Do you think that the Republicans are doing a good

00:11:06.480 job of effectively pointing out and saying, listen, she was in charge of the border and she failed on that. 0.99

00:11:10.820 And that is one of the top issues. When I go to rallies in the States and I ask Americans,

00:11:14.340 what are you voting based on the rally? The border crisis is something I hear time and time again.

00:11:19.140 Do you think that they've been effective in really sticking her to that record so far?

00:11:22.720 No, not particularly. And I think they need to do more, but the way that they need to do more

00:11:26.680 is less with numbers and figures and less with this kind of vague sense that the borders are

00:11:31.460 catastrophe and more with actually hard facts, but stories. They need to tell stories. They need to tell

00:11:37.420 stories of people like Lake and Riley who were raped and murdered by these illegals coming across 1.00

00:11:43.760 the border. They need to tell these tragic stories and say, this is what happens when Kamala Harris's

00:11:49.160 policies about the border, which she was put in charge of, get put into practice. This is the

00:11:54.140 failure that it creates. And when I talk about talking about hard figures, I think one of the most

00:11:58.020 shocking things I heard about the border came from a friend of mine named Frank Gaffney, who's kind of

00:12:01.940 very famous in conservative politics in the US. And Frank Gaffney pointed out to me that at least

00:12:07.460 two divisions worth of Chinese military, the actual PLA, the actual People's Liberation Army,

00:12:15.200 two divisions worth of them have come across our Southern border posing as South Americans or

00:12:20.920 Central Americans that are seeking refugee status. And so now we have two military divisions from a

00:12:26.840 hostile state somewhere spread out throughout our country. He told me also that there may be as many

00:12:32.320 as 10 to 15,000 Chinese special forces that have come across our Southern border and have filled, you

00:12:38.780 know, whatever locations, various locations throughout the United States. Nobody knows where they are. And this

00:12:43.700 should be horrifying to Americans to realize that you have literally entire military divisions of a hostile

00:12:50.040 power in your country that could decide at any moment to create mayhem or to do terrorism like we've never,

00:12:56.280 never seen in this country. And so these kinds of, these kinds of facts and figures and attaching it

00:13:01.360 to Kamala Harris's complete failure when she was tasked with, with, you know, the border, I think is

00:13:07.020 an absolutely crucial thing for Republicans to be doing. And it's, it's so, I don't know, sterile the way

00:13:14.820 that they seem to talk about it. It's, it's shocking stuff that you're saying. I mean, we have our own

00:13:18.940 problems with immigration here in Canada, but a large of that is just the fact that we're paying

00:13:22.260 to house immigrants and asylum seekers in hotels and the Canadian people really can't afford 1.00

00:13:26.160 that right now. So, I mean, one of the other things I want to ask you, you talk about Kamala

00:13:30.160 Harris being very unpopular, being unorganic. If you spend any time online, you've seen people say,

00:13:35.460 oh, you know, she's just a plant. Do you think that she's just a plant? And if so, who's really

00:13:39.620 running things over in the democratic party? Because we know Joe Biden wasn't the run running things.

00:13:44.180 So who's actually in charge over there?

00:13:45.900 Well, given that, um, the Obamas, uh, Barack and Michelle withheld their, their, their endorsement

00:13:54.100 of Kamala, as long as they did, there's a strong suggestion that they are senior officials within

00:13:59.020 the, the operation that's running, um, whatever's going on in the democratic party and the country.

00:14:04.720 I don't know though. Nobody knows who's actually running the country. Nobody knows who's running

00:14:09.560 Kamala. My take on Kamala is that Kamala is a, what the Chinese communist party would have called a

00:14:15.660 cadre, which is to say a low level communist functionary. She's a striver. She's a careerist.

00:14:21.660 So she is a communist. She knows her Marxist literature in and out. Her father was a Marxist.

00:14:27.100 She was raised as a red diaper baby. All of her catchphrases like fall out of, you didn't just fall 0.96

00:14:32.400 out of a coconut tree. That's a Marxist. It's not specifically, it didn't like come out of Karl

00:14:36.520 Marx, but it's a Marxist sentiment. That line means that the, the weight of historical conditions

00:14:41.960 weighs upon who you are, which is a fundamental point of Marxism. We are, we are the product of

00:14:46.920 our historical conditions. Um, she's always saying that we need to address the root causes. She says

00:14:52.220 that her border failure was because we're not going to deal with the superficial aspect of,

00:14:56.140 you know, millions of people, including divisions of Chinese, the Chinese army coming across the border.

00:15:01.840 We're going to deal with the root causes, but the root causes are always systems of power. In this

00:15:06.280 case for, for migration, it would be climate change. It would be colonialism. That's driving

00:15:10.520 all of these wars. It's driving these people to be refugees, which is going to just encourage more 1.00

00:15:15.120 of the, the, not just leftist narratives, but the, the border crossing in the first place.

00:15:20.060 And so this is another Marxist thing, her very famous, you know, we are able to see what can be

00:15:25.400 unburdened by what has been is the kind of Marxist sentiment of leaving behind kind of having an

00:15:31.240 awakened consciousness. That's able to see what can be an imagined world of a socialist utopia

00:15:37.680 that is unburdened by the historical conditions that have brought us here. This is straight Marxism.

00:15:43.560 And of course, everything she promotes is not just the diversity and inclusion side, but equity,

00:15:47.740 equity, equity. She very famously in 2020, put out a video about equity, which she has echoed in the

00:15:53.080 past repeatedly that it means everybody ending up at the same place, which means equal outcomes,

00:15:59.960 which means redistribution, which means socialism. So the woman's a communist. I don't think she's a

00:16:05.200 very high level communist. Like I said, I think she's a low level functionary in the communist party

00:16:10.020 who is a useful face. I don't even think she's that useful. Honestly, I think that the reason that

00:16:14.460 they actually decided to endorse her and go all in on her is because there's hundreds of millions of

00:16:18.380 dollars of campaign money that went to Biden that can only go to her and only if he steps down for

00:16:23.000 medical reasons, which is what he has done. And so they can't give that money to anybody else. I think

00:16:29.040 at least 90 million, 95 million of them somewhere in that range is absolutely like it's even under

00:16:34.800 legal challenge to go to Kamala, not even to go to somebody else, Gavin or Gavin Newsom or Gretchen

00:16:41.680 Whitmer or whoever else they might throw up there. And so she's, in my opinion, she's a low level 0.84

00:16:47.060 functionary. She has controllers that are higher levels. And I don't know who those people are. We

00:16:52.400 have a shrewd guess to make that Obama, the Obamas are among them because of how long they were able

00:16:59.340 to withhold their endorsement and what it meant when they gave it that, you know, there's your kingmaker

00:17:06.360 right there on that side that tells you an awful lot. So speaking of Kamala being a Marxist, I was shocked

00:17:13.040 to see this week. I think most of the sane American public was shocked to see this week that the

00:17:17.340 people who are volunteering to help the Harris campaign are actually dividing themselves based

00:17:21.720 on race. We have a clip here. This is the white woman for Kamala Harris. This is a short clip of

00:17:26.680 an introductory video from the woman who was leading the training. This is just sickening and shocking

00:17:31.160 stuff. Let's play this next clip. Ariel Fodar, affectionately known as Mrs. Frazzle to her combined

00:17:36.520 audience of over 1.5 million followers, is here to help gentle parent us through this election.

00:17:42.100 Thank you. Hi, everybody. I am so honored to speak today. I am like shaking to just be among such

00:17:51.840 incredible company. We are here because as if you were here earlier, you've heard BIPOC women have 1.00

00:17:58.400 tapped us in as white women to step up, listen and get involved this election season. This is a really 0.50

00:18:05.040 important time and we all need to use our voices and influence for the greater good. No matter who you

00:18:10.900 are, you are all influencers in some way. So tonight I'm going to share some do's and don'ts for getting

00:18:17.220 involved in politics online and navigating the toxicity that comes with it. And spoiler alert,

00:18:24.300 as much as the toxicity can come from the outside, it can come from us too. So first don't isolate

00:18:31.060 yourself. We can do our best work when we're in community together like we are tonight because the

00:18:36.940 toxic feels smaller when we support each other, but don't make it about yourself. As white women, 1.00

00:18:43.760 we need to use our privilege to make positive changes. If you find yourself talking over or

00:18:50.200 speaking for BIPOC individuals or God forbid, correcting them, just take a beat. And instead we 0.99

00:18:56.380 can put our listening ears on. So do learn from and amplify the voices of those who have been

00:19:03.200 historically marginalized and use the privilege you have in order to push for systemic change.

00:19:09.840 As white people, we have a lot to learn and unlearn. So do check your blind spots. You are

00:19:18.160 responsible for your algorithm, believe it or not. So obviously, you know, this woman, she goes by

00:19:22.240 Mrs. Fraudel. She's promoting a lot of really harmful ideas there. I hate this concept that 1.00

00:19:26.960 because I'm a white person, I'm not allowed to comment on certain things. Actually, I'm a human

00:19:30.480 with rational faculties. I can read stuff and I can draw, I can look at the evidence and draw my own

00:19:35.860 conclusions. I think that's how society should and has operated for many years. You posted online,

00:19:40.540 you said this is textbook Maoism. Explain what you mean by that.

00:19:43.920 Well, I mean, before I say that, let's just be really clear. That's what we just watched is fake.

00:19:48.740 If you can't see that that's fake, I'm not quite sure how to help you. This is a woman who was an

00:19:54.060 actress who was brought in to do what appears to be an off the cuff presentation on a hastily put

00:20:00.640 together program who was very definitely reading a script. It was very obvious. So if it's not very

00:20:07.040 obvious to you, I don't actually know how to help you. But what you just watched was a performance by

00:20:12.280 an actress who is providing a scripted line and that script is textbook Maoism. What you're seeing

00:20:19.460 is what Mao actually, what you're watching is a televised struggle session. What she's doing is

00:20:25.240 giving a contradictory information that makes it almost impossible to do it right. Everybody should

00:20:30.340 lean into the fact that we're working together and the toxicity feels small, but don't make it about

00:20:33.980 yourself. And that's like very, very difficult instruction. So everything you do is now going to,

00:20:39.320 you know, they can, that they don't like is going to be twisted to say that you made it about yourself,

00:20:43.620 but we have to use our privilege in order to work, to make systemic change on behalf of the oppressed

00:20:49.040 minority. This is again, textbook Maoism. The idea is that, you know, we have to enter not just from

00:20:57.640 criticism of what's wrong in society, but hey, look inside ourselves too. The toxicities here, we have to

00:21:03.540 have self-criticism as well. We have to transform ourselves. What Mao Zedong actually called the process

00:21:08.720 that she's initiating with that little scripted performance is called ideological remolding.

00:21:16.140 That's the way he phrased it. You have to constantly remold yourselves. I could read to you

00:21:20.200 from Mao Zedong saying that especially the intellectuals, which would be anybody who had

00:21:25.560 an education in China, which in a peasant society, you know, is, you know, relatively few people.

00:21:30.160 Well, we compare here, it's these kinds of professional laptop class, especially,

00:21:34.180 you know, urban white people. That's your intellectuals, so to speak. Now they're the 0.97

00:21:40.260 people with bachelor's and master's degrees. And those people have to constantly ideologically

00:21:45.240 remold themselves in order to help the oppressed minority. Again, this is textbook Maoism. And what

00:21:50.080 you're watching is a televised struggle session that's being put together by actors and actresses,

00:21:54.880 in this case, just actresses for white women. Uh, that is meant to put a guilt and shame dynamic, 1.00

00:22:01.860 what they call it, what the Maoists called a cult of confession for how you failed to live up to

00:22:06.420 your duty to, um, to, to help the, the oppressed or the people as, as they were called in China. So

00:22:13.380 this is a process of what is what, what Mao called ideological remolding, but what is more

00:22:20.620 accurately and affectionately termed brainwashing. That is a brainwashing session that we're watching

00:22:25.680 and it pulls on emotional strings in order to get people to feel self failure, to feel guilt about

00:22:32.080 their inability to have done well enough for the program for the greater good, as she said,

00:22:37.300 and to get them therefore to commit to greater action. It's like, uh, it's like a, it's, it's

00:22:42.640 literally like a cult shaming episode in order to extract more activity out of people.

00:22:48.080 Okay. So James, when you talk about this being a brainwashing session,

00:22:51.140 how is this going to benefit the Harris campaign? Well, the thing is, is that the people who become

00:22:56.500 committed to, uh, through struggle or criticism and self-criticism is, is the kind of technical

00:23:02.280 aspect of it become extremely zealous. They actually, um, will basically become effective

00:23:09.140 soldiers for the program so that they are going to have not just your usual level of, oh my gosh,

00:23:15.180 it's an election year and it's an important election kind of levels of political commitment.

00:23:18.660 They're going to have the kind of religious fervor that you see with, with cult adherents. If they

00:23:23.560 go through this process, they're the kind of people who will start to cut off family, who will put

00:23:27.960 out ultimatums about, you know, whether or not people can be in relationships. They're going to

00:23:32.500 go to their workplace and cause trouble about it. That's the kind of commitment that you get as a

00:23:37.500 result of this. I don't know whether it's going to benefit at this point, the Harris campaign, but in,

00:23:41.720 in, in China, what these sessions did was they created a tremendous amount of, um, power consolidation

00:23:48.820 for the Maoist faction of the CCP and enabled Mao to, um, basically maintain ultimate totalitarian

00:23:56.540 power over China. Uh, I'm not saying that they're going to grant ultimate totalitarian power to Kamala 0.68

00:24:01.140 Harris, but the democratic machine is actually in the, is the thing that is, is going to, um, benefit

00:24:07.280 primarily from this by keeping, I mean, let's just be very, very, very blunt without using any two,

00:24:13.120 but two inappropriate language. They're keeping these women on the democratic plantation. Um, 0.99

00:24:17.060 in a very real sense, it's, if you go outside of this, we're going back to the bad part of history,

00:24:22.520 nobody can leave the fence and these people will, will enforce that upon others. So one of the,

00:24:28.800 the key benefits is that all of these wavering Democrats on the edge thinking something's badly

00:24:33.980 wrong, who get caught by this emotional appeal and get sucked into the self-criticism vortex again,

00:24:39.640 will pull themselves back into the center of, uh, as I just called it, the democratic plantation,

00:24:45.400 and they will not indulge their, uh, their, their, their doubts at all. Now, on the other hand,

00:24:52.440 there are a lot of people who will be turned off by it. So it may not benefit them. There will be a lot

00:24:57.140 of people who turn or turned off by it. And those people in particular, what they are going to learn

00:25:00.860 from something like this is, well, I can vote for Trump, but I just better keep my mouth shut,

00:25:05.320 which means you have this gigantic disaffected Democrat Trump sandbag, possibly hanging out

00:25:11.520 there where they're telling everybody, yeah, yeah, I'm voting for Kamala. Yeah. Yeah. I'm voting for

00:25:14.560 Kamala. Of course I'm with her. And then they're actually going to show up and vote for Trump.

00:25:18.060 That was a huge effect on the Republican side in 2016 that actually ended up, um, spoiling the polls

00:25:25.040 rather strongly for Donald Trump, uh, victory. So this may come now from the

00:25:30.700 disaffected Democrat side. So it's hard to say how this is going to affect. This is in my, again,

00:25:35.120 in my opinion, this is playing badly. I don't think it's very, very effective except on TV and

00:25:41.200 in the algorithms. Sure. And James, just my last question for you here. I mean, we played that clip

00:25:46.180 of a white woman for Kamala Harris and, you know, you've explained how it was sort of brainwashing. 0.98

00:25:50.600 She's trying to guilt the woman for feeling badly about the color of their skin. How would this play 0.98

00:25:55.300 out in, in a scenario where it's, let's say black men for Harris? Would it be a similar thing where

00:26:00.000 we're seeing a struggle session or are they taking a different approaches, a different approach in

00:26:03.640 those types of scenarios? No, it's basically the same. I mean, they would use somewhat different

00:26:08.240 language. They're not going to talk about, we have to use our privilege to support. They're not going

00:26:11.920 to use that kind of, uh, self-criticism based guilt. We haven't done enough to help the, the poor

00:26:18.100 oppressed from our position of privilege. What they're going to do is they're going to get the opposite

00:26:21.640 side of the messaging, which is the, um, you are the oppressed and these people have done you wrong

00:26:26.780 and they've always done you wrong and you don't have a fair shake. And if you don't get together,

00:26:32.200 if we don't work in solidarity, they're just going to continue to cheat us. But it's the same

00:26:36.220 concept. It's just going to be from the opposite side. You don't motivate. So in China, it was rich

00:26:41.960 peasants and poor peasants. They separated the population. They'd go to a village and they say almost

00:26:46.700 arbitrarily. And in some cases, literally arbitrarily, they'd say, these are the rich peasants and these are

00:26:50.700 the poor peasants. A lot of times what would make you rich, by the way, would be to have two cooking

00:26:55.700 pans instead of one or to have a window in your mud hut or to have, you know, an extra square meter

00:27:01.140 of floor space compared to your neighbor. I mean, such small things, or you'd have like, you know,

00:27:06.880 two farm tools and this would be it. And this was the difference between rich and poor. Uh, but what

00:27:12.680 they would do is they would, they would push the guilt on the rich and they would demonize the rich

00:27:17.740 peasants among the poor peasants and say, those people, the reason you don't have enough to eat 0.98

00:27:22.480 is because that guy has a window in his mud hut. And they would actually create a tremendous amount 0.99

00:27:27.580 of hatred in that underclass against the overclass. They teach them to blame the overclass for

00:27:32.940 everything. And so what you end up with, I just had this conversation with a friend of mine at the

00:27:36.800 turning point. Um, what's his last name? Steven's his first name. I'll think of his last name sooner

00:27:41.800 or later after we're done. I'm sure. Uh, he's a Davis, Steven Davis. He's a fantastic guy. He's,

00:27:47.240 he's a gigantic black bodybuilder guy. And he talked, we talked about this specifically

00:27:51.600 about how, and I talked to some of the Blexit people there as well. The, the, the strictness

00:27:58.200 with which you are not allowed, if you are a racial minority to go off a script that your own 1.00

00:28:03.100 community will attack you and say that you're not, you know, doing something about solidarity.

00:28:07.800 You're not doing it right. That dynamic is what's going to be generated on the opposite side. So if

00:28:12.900 it was black dudes for Harris, which frankly, I don't know where they're going to find those. 0.55

00:28:17.240 Um, but if they managed to cobble one together, maybe it's AI characters, I don't know.

00:28:21.800 And, and do that. That's the kind of messaging that you're going to hear. Um, what, what I'm seeing

00:28:26.460 actually hearing is that that's actually playing out in, in black churches. Um, and they are working

00:28:31.860 very, very hard. And like I said, my friend, Steven Davis was saying, um, you know, when it,

00:28:37.040 what, what struck me is he said that, you know, it was just a few years ago that he woke up

00:28:41.260 as he said, and when he woke up, he's like, the first thing I realized is I don't have

00:28:44.300 to be racist anymore. And they're going to keep that racial enmity going on the so-called

00:28:50.840 oppressed side of the Marxist oppressor versus oppressed dynamic. Uh, so it's a different

00:28:57.040 message, but it's the same process.

00:29:00.520 Wow. Certainly not going to be seeing a lot of unity this election cycle. I would imagine

00:29:04.460 with all of that, then James, thank you so much for your insight today.

00:29:07.440 Yes, ma'am.

00:29:08.440 All right, everyone. That's all we have time for today on Rachel and the Republic. I will
