RadixJournal - VDEAD | ManoWhisper

00:00:00.000 Okay, so does anyone know what exactly is going on with VDare?

00:00:06.500 Everyone knows what VDare is.

00:00:09.980 It is apparently over.

00:00:17.180 Although that's at least what I took from the message.

00:00:22.320 Oh, no, they're taking donations.

00:00:24.100 Let's see, this is just straight, oh, here it is, yeah.

00:00:34.200 It is finished.

00:00:36.720 New York AG Letitia James crucifies VDare.

00:00:41.260 Communist attorney Letitia James.

00:00:44.180 So, has anyone been following this?

00:00:47.140 Like, do you guys know what's going on?

00:00:49.860 I haven't been following it myself.

00:00:52.040 Okay, but...

00:00:54.100 I've known about VDare for at least 20 years.

00:00:57.880 I mean, I remember back in the early 2000s, this is early internet days, pre-social media days.

00:01:05.920 I would read VDare and the American Conservative and things like that.

00:01:09.520 And, you know, I felt like Chronicles magazine online, I even subscribed to Chronicles, the hard copy for a while.

00:01:16.340 It was an interesting place for people who were critical of the war in Iraq, critical of some sort of pro-corporate libertarianism.

00:01:33.440 Like, could you actually find a place that inherited a lot of the Buchanan movement, the campaigns in the 2000s?

00:01:44.260 And, um, it was interesting.

00:01:47.580 I remember when we watched that video, uh, maybe two months ago from the New York Times, they were discussing, like, the history of immigration.

00:01:55.300 And they, they, they, the video said that Ronald Reagan and George Herbert Walker Bush were having a sort of empathy competition for who could empathize with the immigrants more back in the 80s.

00:02:08.720 And, uh, so it, it is, it is an interesting position to take to, um, be an immigration restrictionist and to care about these things.

00:02:20.920 And, um, VDare, I guess it, it did start in 1997 and, um, that, that was a unique position to have a little webzine where you're talking about immigration restriction and so on.

00:02:34.260 Um, um, I, I began to find VDare somewhat annoying, uh, just in the sense of repetition.

00:02:45.200 Um, I just didn't find the right very intellectually stimulating and just to be frank, endlessly whining about immigrants. 1.00

00:02:59.420 It's not, I do disagree with that actually in certain ways.

00:03:03.620 And I also think it's naive in certain ways, like using their own terms.

00:03:10.660 Um, that being said, it, it, it was, you know, I, I found myself agreeing with it to a large degree, uh, as well.

00:03:20.720 And there were some interesting people.

00:03:22.060 I mean, you could find Sam Francis articles, you could find, um, you know, Jared Taylor,

00:03:28.640 or you could find, um, Steve sailor, the whole crew on VDare.

00:03:34.880 So, you know, it's good.

00:03:37.900 Uh, they were engaging in just kind of this like endless fundraising, um, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to put up a webzine,

00:03:47.820 which just, I don't know, it, it, it, it's a little bit suspicious or kind of strikes me as a misallocation of resources.

00:03:59.640 Um, I mean, do we really need yet another article from like, you know, uh, down to earth American who lost his job to an immigrant? 0.70

00:04:12.380 Like, is this really that important?

00:04:14.000 Um, the other thing is that I think over the years, um, other conservatives have kind of taken this issue and really taken ownership of it.

00:04:24.900 So you, you definitely could find like pro immigration sentiments and national review.

00:04:31.520 And at the very least, they kind of didn't want to go there.

00:04:34.820 They didn't want to be too restrictionist because that was racist.

00:04:37.960 And, you know, we can't have that after all, William F. Buckley supported segregation for a time.

00:04:43.560 And we were, we're, uh, you know, to the degree that national review kind of defined the movement for many decades, you know, we've got to move past that.

00:04:51.660 But now I think the situation is completely changed and the Republican party is obsessed with the border.

00:05:00.800 They are even engaging in, in, in, in kind of theories like the great replacement and so on that are rather edgier than I would say most of the V-Day content.

00:05:14.980 And it's just been something kind of interesting that that's happened in that way.

00:05:19.840 I guess I've been following not the, um, the collapse or the suing or whatever happened, but yeah, V-Day, I've always been aware of them, but yeah,

00:05:29.580 they've always done a lot of Amaran adjacent stuff, but yeah, it's, they're not really that relevant anymore.

00:05:35.240 I mean, you have like Vivek Ramaswamy on the debate stage talking about the great replacement is not a conspiracy theory.

00:05:41.720 Like, I feel like, yeah, they're, they're kind of outmoded at this point.

00:05:46.040 Like who's going to, do you think, yeah.

00:05:49.240 Do you think it's, do you think that no one would be talking about immigration if it weren't for V-Day? 0.55

00:05:56.060 Do you think V-Day, like, I think V-Day probably.

00:05:58.560 I don't think V-Day did it all.

00:06:00.680 Yeah, I know that's the kind of, I know, that's the thing.

00:06:05.560 And I think it definitely inspired Ann Coulter.

00:06:09.540 I'm sure she read V-Day due to the fact that she read Steve Saylor and Amaran or something.

00:06:15.040 And the degree to which those, Jared Taylor or Steve Saylor are kind of playing to her.

00:06:19.920 She's almost like their audience.

00:06:22.360 Yeah.

00:06:23.200 Yeah, I think conservatives.

00:06:24.760 Adios, America.

00:06:30.480 Yeah.

00:06:31.680 Yeah, but people who are like adjacent there, I guess.

00:06:34.440 Yeah, like crypto or quasi racist.

00:06:40.480 Also just kind of avoiding the real issue.

00:06:43.320 I mean, like, as I've said at an Amaran conference, I guess, 12 years ago, like, even if you shut down all immigration, the demographic issue is going to happen anyway.

00:06:56.220 Right.

00:06:56.480 It's just a reality.

00:06:58.860 It's just a brutal reality.

00:07:00.700 But, like, if you're not ultimately accomplishing anything by what you're striving for, you might as well take up gardening.

00:07:10.000 Right.

00:07:10.480 And the other aspects of this is that, like, the cultural – first off, Mexicans are not blacks. 0.97

00:07:18.020 And if you shut down immigration, it's not like the blacks are going to vanish into thin air. 0.97

00:07:22.760 Like, it's almost like they're playing this, like, shell game or kind of bait and switch or something. 0.99

00:07:29.440 Or, like, the gays are not going to go away if you stop immigration. 0.88

00:07:33.960 If anything, Hispanics – and I'm not even saying this rhetorically, like, if anything. 0.96

00:07:41.540 Clearly, man, evidently, Hispanics are a retarding force against the advances of liberalism. 1.00

00:07:48.940 Mm-hmm.

00:07:50.140 Like, no question about it, actually.

00:07:52.300 They're increasingly voting Republican, first off.

00:07:55.260 So, the whole sailor strategy or whatever doesn't work.

00:08:00.500 And I would not be surprised at all if it were 50-50 Hispanic voting and maybe even 60-40 Republican Hispanics.

00:08:10.560 Yeah, they get a bigger percentage of the Republican vote each and every election.

00:08:15.180 It's clear that they're not, like, Texas is going to turn blue.

00:08:18.120 They've been saying Texas is going to turn blue for the past, like, 10 years now or something like that.

00:08:22.360 It just – is it going to happen – I'm not even sure it's really going to happen.

00:08:26.060 I'm not sure it's going to ever happen.

00:08:27.980 And the other thing about it is that it's like the Browns have turned red or the Browns have gone to QAnon.

00:08:34.800 QAnon was blowing up on WhatsApp in Florida.

00:08:39.340 Yeah. 1.00

00:08:39.540 So, these Hispanics love this shit. 1.00

00:08:42.600 They're, like, dumb whites, like. 1.00

00:08:44.920 Sorry to be so mean. 1.00

00:08:47.540 No, no.

00:08:48.580 Keep it up.

00:08:49.560 The more meanness, the better.

00:08:50.540 As Saylor pointed out, that's who's typically lining up around the block for the latest, like, Hollywood schlockfest blockbuster.

00:08:58.800 Lots of Latinos, you know.

00:09:00.500 So, the –

00:09:01.040 Yeah.

00:09:01.460 As in politics, see the same phenomenon.

00:09:05.540 Yes.

00:09:06.720 Intermarriage rates are also very high, and they seem to indicate that there's a common culture, in fact.

00:09:14.140 This just goes against the notion that, like, we're going to do the Southern strategy, but for Mexicans. 0.95

00:09:21.020 Or, like, you know, they're – first off, Hispanic-white intermarriage is the most common.

00:09:27.060 This notion that, like, they're taking over the culture or whatever.

00:09:31.080 No, they're actually – they're intermarrying it in very kind of regular rates.

00:09:38.600 Like, with Asians, for instance, it's, like, 80% of interracial marriages are a white man and an Asian woman.

00:09:49.180 But with Hispanics, it's actually regular. 0.99

00:09:51.880 And what I would suggest is that there's no little, like, fetish going on or there's no whatever.

00:09:57.520 They're just – it's just happening regularly or normally.

00:10:03.240 And they are increasingly Republican, et cetera.

00:10:08.080 And, you know, they – people kind of like the idea of immigrant crime and taking over a community or whatever. 1.00

00:10:15.120 But that's a bit distracting for the reality, which is that there really is a sort of common culture.

00:10:26.180 Anyway, the other thing why I guess I have trouble taking V-Dare seriously is that they'll play these self-serving games like, you know, like, we're the only ones talking about this issue or something.

00:10:43.040 When they're just clearly not.

00:10:44.460 And maybe you could make the argument – being generous, but not too generous.

00:10:49.000 Being realistic.

00:10:49.720 Maybe you could make the argument that they were the only ones talking about it in 1999.

00:10:55.600 That's fair.

00:10:56.960 Maybe you could also make the argument that it wouldn't have been as popular if V-Dare hadn't existed.

00:11:06.000 I'm not sure I fully buy that.

00:11:09.500 But in a mood of total generosity, maybe I'd give them that one.

00:11:14.460 But the notion that it's, like, doing some unique thing, it's just riding sidecar to Republican populism and alternatively claiming that, like, they're the only ones saying this thing, which is immigration equal bad.

00:11:33.300 Or that they're somehow, like, deeply influential and winning.

00:11:39.420 I mean, there was a kind of notorious fundraising email of when immigration got shut down during COVID.

00:11:47.280 And the email said, we've won.

00:11:49.320 Wow.

00:11:51.320 And for seeing this, it's, like, we – who's we?

00:11:55.080 I'm just curious.

00:11:56.100 Secondly, like, COVID won.

00:11:58.400 Like, clearly.

00:11:59.960 Because this is, like, a temporary measure.

00:12:02.860 It's important.

00:12:04.260 Maybe even has good effects.

00:12:06.500 Unintentional.

00:12:07.180 But, like, it is what it is.

00:12:08.760 You didn't do this.

00:12:11.980 COVID did it.

00:12:13.320 Secondly, and most ironically, you were engaging in COVID denial for months up until, like, the COVID shutdown immigration.

00:12:24.900 So it's, like, you tried to kill the thing that was going to actually accomplish your goal.

00:12:30.460 Anyway, just a mild irony.

00:12:32.000 It's profoundly ironic.

00:12:33.020 But, I mean, I guess the solution would be to maintain COVID forever.

00:12:37.840 And then, obviously, everything would be secure.

00:12:39.880 You should be hyping up COVID.

00:12:40.940 Everything would be safe.

00:12:42.280 Yeah.

00:12:42.740 And don't mind the birth rates.

00:12:46.760 But, yeah, just keep COVID forever.

00:12:48.480 China virus is back. 0.92

00:12:50.120 It is killing our kids. 0.93

00:12:53.480 Maybe this is the –

00:12:54.500 My dog got the China virus.

00:12:56.540 Maybe this is the final version of the Arctic alliance that John Carpenter said.

00:13:02.000 That's what we talked about, right?

00:13:03.040 So, yeah, we got the quote that the China virus enabled he dared to win.

00:13:08.380 There you go.

00:13:09.500 Yeah, the China virus was brought over.

00:13:11.540 That's actually a funny joke.

00:13:13.100 He did suggest that.

00:13:14.260 Right. 0.95

00:13:15.940 We should all marry the Asian chicks and, like, put down the browns or whatever. 1.00

00:13:21.040 Yeah. 0.98

00:13:22.100 But it is kind of funny.

00:13:23.900 Like, there was an erotic version of the Arctic alliance where the China virus stopped the immigrants. 0.68

00:13:31.140 That's at last.

00:13:33.660 That's actually pretty funny.

00:13:35.940 So, Vidair got a ton of money in, like, 2018 or something.

00:13:45.980 And this is – so, this is the filing, the people versus VD – I don't know.

00:13:53.780 It's just kind of funny.

00:13:54.700 The people of the state of New York by Letitia James, Supreme Court.

00:13:59.560 So, let me just read a little bit of this alleged facts.

00:14:07.520 Respondent is a New York charitable, not-for-profit corporation that incorporated in New York in 1999.

00:14:13.660 In 2000, Respondent, then known as the Lexington Research Institute, applied for and received recognition of its tax attempt status, 501c3, blah, blah, blah.

00:14:23.880 Primary purpose is creating a publication, a web page, a magazine, with editorial content focusing on foreign domestic policy issues.

00:14:32.760 In 2009, Respondent reported a six-fold increase in revenue from $700,000 in 2018 to approximately $4.3 million in 2019,

00:14:43.700 and including a $1.5 million lump donation from a donor-advised fund.

00:14:48.520 In early 2020, Respondent spent $1.4 million of these newly received funds on the purchase of the Berkeley Springs Castle and medieval-style castle located in West Virginia.

00:15:02.280 Okay.

00:15:02.940 First off, I mean, I don't want to – like, what are they doing with $700,000, not to mention $4.3 million?

00:15:13.100 I mean, it doesn't cost that much to run a website.

00:15:17.340 Right.

00:15:17.580 Right.

00:15:18.520 And, you know, another thing is if they're running out of money, if I were Peter Brimlow, I'd probably look at the tax statements and I'd say, hmm, $60 for coffee, $50 for running the website server, and, oh, yeah, all this money we spent on this castle.

00:15:37.280 What's the first thing we should do to fix the money problem?

00:15:40.540 Maybe sell the castle?

00:15:42.260 But that's the last thing they'll do.

00:15:44.000 Yeah.

00:15:44.120 Exactly.

00:15:45.240 Although, $1.5 million – now, was that a – did they pay for the castle in total, or did they put that down as a low – as a down payment?

00:15:57.800 You know, real estate's crazy.

00:15:59.640 I don't know what it's like in Berkeley, West Virginia, but, you know, there are a lot of, like, condominiums that are selling for $1.5 million.

00:16:07.800 I don't know the answer.

00:16:13.300 Public postings by respondent chairman Peter Brimlow and others indicate that he and his family have used the castle as their primary residence since at least March 2020.

00:16:23.660 Well, I understand the temptation, although, yeah, you're basically just buying yourself a new castle in suburban West Virginia.

00:16:34.960 Yeah.

00:16:35.900 I don't know.

00:16:37.040 Maybe it could be used as, like, a medieval times business where you could have, like, jousting or whatever.

00:16:44.340 I mean, you could have a lot of medieval times.

00:16:45.880 Oh, yeah, they could rent it out for reenactments.

00:16:47.600 Yeah.

00:16:48.240 Yeah.

00:16:48.500 Yeah, totally.

00:16:50.120 During the same period, respondent also substantially increased payments to Brimlow and to third-party for-profit companies he controls.

00:16:59.160 In 2019, Brimlow's reported salary – oh, a typo here – was more than doubled.

00:17:06.880 Oh, it wasn't a typo.

00:17:07.740 More than doubled and comprised roughly one-third of respondent's operating expenditures.

00:17:13.160 Okay, so is Peter paying himself, like, a quarter of a million dollars a year to run a web page?

00:17:23.840 Sounds like it.

00:17:25.640 I mean, that is really grotesque.

00:17:28.400 Yeah.

00:17:28.620 And, like, he's less relevant than, like, Jared Taylor, I would say.

00:17:36.420 Like, he's about as, like – like, he must be good at fundraising or whatever.

00:17:43.340 But it's like, what are you doing?

00:17:45.780 Why?

00:17:46.220 I also kind of have a sense that Lydia is behind this, his wife.

00:17:51.860 And that will come on as we go down by – so, he doubled his salary.

00:17:58.880 Respondents separately reported as spending tens of thousands of dollars on office expenses in 2019,

00:18:05.500 as well as paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to a third-party LLC controlled by Brimlow

00:18:11.900 that was based at Brimlow's residential home address.

00:18:16.860 Okay.

00:18:17.620 It sounds like he's just using Peter as a personal bank account at this point.

00:18:21.320 It's just a piggy bank at this point, if he was doing anything with it before.

00:18:26.880 Exactly.

00:18:27.840 Like, so, you know, you see stuff like this about being crucified and, like, Letitia James hates you

00:18:34.560 and she's a communist and whatever. 0.97

00:18:37.600 And then you read this, like, okay, this is the plaintiff's, like, opening statement.

00:18:43.600 I mean, they're not – look, they can't just – this is also factual stuff.

00:18:49.740 Like, this is not – this is not, like, rhetorical flourishes.

00:18:55.780 They can back this up.

00:18:58.960 And, like, seriously.

00:19:01.560 I mean, I understand you have to live, and I'm not against paying people,

00:19:05.840 but, like, you're creating a for-profit LLC that you are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to.

00:19:14.780 For what reason?

00:19:18.180 Like, it would be, like, you raise all this money and then you hire yourself to, like, organize the conference.

00:19:25.240 Like, you pay yourself a $200,000 fee.

00:19:28.620 I just – give me a break.

00:19:30.760 I'm sorry.

00:19:31.340 This sounds utterly, utterly fraudulent.

00:19:34.860 But there's just no other way of putting it.

00:19:42.580 Respondent conveyed – okay, in December 2020, respondent conveyed the entirety of the Berkeley Springs Castle property

00:19:48.260 to two West Virginia corporations incorporated by Lydia Brimelow, Peter's wife and a respondent director.

00:19:55.480 Five months – so she now owns the castle. 0.89

00:19:57.820 I mean, yeah, I don't know what to say.

00:20:07.720 It's, like, all of this stuff is so kind of irrelevant in that I, like, don't care.

00:20:14.640 And I understand that there's, like, kind of grift everywhere.

00:20:18.100 And you can call me a grifter.

00:20:20.500 You could say that all of this is useless. 0.94

00:20:22.520 You could go on and on.

00:20:23.600 But, like, this is pretty outrageous.

00:20:29.240 And the notion that they're, like, constantly talking about how, like, they're the only ones standing for the – what is it?

00:20:37.980 The real American nation and what – like, this is just – this – do you know what this reminds me of, actually?

00:20:44.280 This reminds me of evangelical preachers.

00:20:48.280 Oh, yeah, like Ken Copeland and his private jet.

00:20:50.580 Exactly. Buying themselves private jets and all this shit. 0.99

00:20:55.060 And it is the same kind of pitch. 0.99

00:20:57.340 It's, like, let's just save the people.

00:20:59.220 The working class is being harmed by this.

00:21:02.780 The communists want to take us down.

00:21:06.940 And I need my private jet.

00:21:09.280 I need my castle in order to speak the truth to the masses.

00:21:13.260 It just – yeah.

00:21:14.060 I cannot do it without this castle.

00:21:16.720 It's – yeah, the corruption.

00:21:18.400 It's just – it's astounding.

00:21:20.580 It's really, really astounding.

00:21:21.700 Yeah, it really is.

00:21:23.020 And I don't want to – I know everyone – you could always say, like, oh, you're just jealous or you – whatever.

00:21:29.140 That's fair enough.

00:21:30.720 But it's, like, this is – these are just the facts.

00:21:35.320 Like, I'm not – and then the way it's just described.

00:21:39.960 Like, they're doing this because they oppose free speech or whatever.

00:21:46.400 And they're paying lawyers.

00:21:48.460 So, again, it's, like, I think I know the lawyers who are doing this.

00:21:52.400 Lawyers are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to, like, fight these.

00:21:59.080 And, yeah, we have fought Letitia James at the cost of one million for nearly three – I mean, what? 0.99

00:22:08.080 This is such a fucking waste. 0.99

00:22:10.540 Well, I guess – I guess the social Darwinist view would be to say a fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place. 1.00

00:22:21.360 So, I mean, good on him for paying for his castle. 0.94

00:22:23.820 But, yeah, he's clearly – he's clearly not going anywhere.

00:22:31.500 Yeah, I just – I don't know what to say.

00:22:37.260 And then just not, like, the way it's described, it's as if it's this, like, attack on them.

00:22:44.980 Like, think of all these other organizations that are more impactful for good or for ill.

00:22:51.520 Like, why doesn't Gavin Newsom go after the Claremont Institute?

00:22:57.320 I mean, they were directly involved in the attempt to overthrow the government.

00:23:02.600 Like, why don't you – why is that – why don't the communists go after those institutions?

00:23:08.260 The reason is, is that I imagine they're not run as, like, a personal charity.

00:23:13.800 And then just comparing yourself to Christ, I mean, this is like – I don't know.

00:23:22.500 I can't – I can't even.

00:23:27.300 This, I remember when they got money – they got all of this money and then they were basically using it on lawyers.

00:23:38.680 So, all these lawyers got paid.

00:23:40.440 So, in 2020, Peter Brimelow sued the New York Times for a 2019 article that accused him of being a white nationalist.

00:23:54.260 So, just think about this for a little bit.

00:23:57.880 So, you're suing the New York Times for libel.

00:24:02.260 You're claiming that they accused – they called you a white nationalist and that that is just utterly damaging to your reputation and thus you deserve damages, you know, to the tune of millions.

00:24:17.880 Okay.

00:24:18.720 First off, like, white nationalist is a fairly reasonable or neutral term.

00:24:28.260 I mean, I know it's salacious, but it's almost as kind of, like, reasonable as you could get. 0.69

00:24:37.620 It's certainly more reasonable or neutral than white supremacist or evil racist or something. 0.91

00:24:44.380 It's basically saying you're a racial nationalist and you're white, you're a white nationalist. 0.82

00:24:48.300 Secondly, Peter Brimelow has spoken at Amran events.

00:24:56.860 He's, like, spoken at alt-right events.

00:25:00.560 He clearly – I mean, he does stuff – I won't go into this, but if you just look at, like, his article on the Buffalo tragedy,

00:25:09.240 did the great replacement cause the Buffalo shooter, and then he shows a graph of, like, the white percentage in Buffalo going down and thus the shooter is sort of, kind of justified.

00:25:27.100 I mean, it's just terrible.

00:25:29.740 It's the worst way of talking about these issues.

00:25:33.440 And, like, yeah, it's not that surprising that people are going to accuse you of being a white nationalist.

00:25:44.840 And if you're a public figure, they can call you a white nationalist.

00:25:49.520 Not the New York Times, but I'm sure tons of places, like the Daily Beast, have called Tucker Carlson or Vivek Rameshwamy a white nationalist.

00:25:58.180 So, when you're a public figure, it's kind of fair game.

00:26:03.480 Like, you've got to really prove something to win a libel or slander suit.

00:26:09.640 Like, you've got to – the New York Times would have had to accuse him of being, like, a child molester or involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

00:26:19.160 Like, you would have to go really far to justify that against a public figure.

00:26:26.240 But, thirdly, like, do you see the demoralizing way in which getting, like, uppity about this is very bad for their own movement?

00:26:38.720 You know, like, there's nothing worse than being called a white nationalist.

00:26:43.280 Well, most all of your writers are white nationalists.

00:26:47.700 A ton of your readers are white nationalists. 0.99

00:26:50.040 A ton of your readers are just racist if we're just being blunt about it. 0.96

00:26:56.240 And you're, like, afraid of your own shadow.

00:26:59.320 You're, like, demoralizing the very notion of racial nationalism by suing the New York Times for libel.

00:27:06.200 You don't sue someone for libel who call you handsome and intelligent.

00:27:10.980 Like, that – you don't – you're like, no, I'm not.

00:27:15.140 This is an outrage.

00:27:16.180 It's simply incorrect.

00:27:18.520 No, you don't sue for libel over that.

00:27:20.600 You sue for libel over this, you know, horrible, vicious smear. 0.97

00:27:27.960 First off, Peter is a white nationalist. 0.98

00:27:30.820 It's just obvious.

00:27:31.940 Secondly, why does that offend you?

00:27:34.200 Why are you suing someone over something like that?

00:27:37.160 You're just – you're surrendering the past before the battle is even fought.

00:27:40.560 You're giving in to that notion.

00:27:43.060 You're demoralizing the very concept of racial nationalism going forward.

00:27:49.860 And, again, you have all this money.

00:27:51.920 You're paying lawyers hundreds of thousands of dollars to do lawsuits that are obviously hopeless and that do lose.

00:28:00.480 And then you get slapped with an anti-slap – you get slapped with an anti-slap lawsuit.

00:28:05.500 That is – what is it?

00:28:07.840 Civil – no, it's litigation against public participation, basically.

00:28:11.920 It's what – I forgot what the S stands for. 0.97

00:28:18.420 I just don't know what to fucking say. 0.98

00:28:21.060 I'll stop being this bitchy, for lack of a better word, about this issue. 0.99

00:28:25.900 But, like, it's just – what a waste.

00:28:32.780 And just lawyers get paid a ton of money. 0.87

00:28:36.280 Lydia Bremelow, who's just this, like, marries Peter.

00:28:40.340 And Peter's old.

00:28:42.040 I mean, he's pushing 80.

00:28:44.500 So she's going to have a castle in West Virginia.

00:28:47.500 Like, good for you.

00:28:49.300 And I hope it's fun or whatever.

00:28:51.040 But, like, Lydia is irrelevant.

00:28:53.920 You know, like, it's just – like, why are we doing – we – why is the movement doing this? 0.99

00:29:00.140 Why does it always do this kind of shit? 0.99

00:29:03.460 Paying this much money to lawyers to do hopeless lawsuits that blow up in your face? 1.00

00:29:09.440 I don't know what to say.
