I want to go ahead and tell you a little bit about a great deal that the blaze is running
00:00:44.160
I think for a lot of people, the second presidential debate exposed the blatant truth
00:00:48.420
that the media isn't just biased, but it's actually controlling the narrative.
00:00:52.960
Kamala Harris has given free reign to lie without a single fact check while President Trump was bombarded
00:00:58.620
with constant interruptions and phony correction.
00:01:01.960
We've long suspected that we had a state-controlled media, but now it's blatantly obvious.
00:01:08.020
And we're living really in what we could understand as a media-controlled state.
00:01:12.780
From President Biden's quiet exit from the political scene to Kamala's carefully orchestrated rise,
00:01:18.420
the president or the persistent effort to undermine and even harm the President Trump,
00:01:24.280
the media's hand has been obvious throughout all of this.
00:01:30.420
While mainstream outlets distort and deceive, Blaze Media is committed to delivering the truth
00:01:35.160
for those who love to fight for the American way of life.

So today's show, I want to dive into the question of immigration.
00:02:14.500
Now, obviously, this is something that we talk about a lot on the show.
00:02:18.260
This is a critical issue, something that we focus on on a regular basis.
00:02:23.580
But there's been a very interesting shift in the vibe, I think, recently.
00:02:30.860
Immigration has always been a huge issue for Donald Trump.
00:02:34.480
It's really what skyrocketed him to the front of the pack,
00:02:38.300
is one of the few people who was truly strong when it came to his language on immigration,
00:02:43.060
being willing to address that issue, why it's so devastating to the American population.
00:02:49.940
But we've seen a cavalcade of stories that really just highlight how critical this issue is.
00:02:56.420
We've seen the takeover of apartment buildings by criminal gangs in Aurora, Colorado.
00:03:01.660
We've seen the devastation that a giant migrant population can bring to towns like Springfield, Ohio,
00:03:09.200
and others which have been noted for the large displacement of their population perpetrated by the federal government
00:03:16.560
and other NGO actors coordinating to make sure that many of these red-leaning areas
00:03:22.760
have very different populations come the next few election cycles.
00:03:27.860
It's very obvious that the government isn't just messing up the border.
00:03:32.420
It's not that they're just managing the border poorly.
00:03:35.240
It's that they're actively implementing a plan that is devastating to the American population.
00:03:40.900
And I think it's really important that we focus on this continuously because as we get closer and closer
00:03:46.200
to the election, to the actual voting process, in fact, early voting has already started in many states,
00:03:53.780
we have to understand that the Democrats are continuing to pursue this line,
00:03:57.800
even though we recognize the danger of the border, even though we get some kind of vague hand-waving
00:04:03.340
from Kamala Harris about, I need someone to pass a bill so I can actually enforce the border.
00:04:08.780
Ultimately, what we see is that the Democrats continue to push the line that replacement immigration is good,
00:04:14.640
that it's critical, that we need to build pathways to citizenship, amnesty, all of this stuff.
00:04:20.020
They pretend like illegals aren't going to vote in the election, and then the Department of Justice
00:04:26.440
goes after states like Virginia for removing illegal voters from the rolls.
00:04:31.380
The only reason to do that is you plan to cheat, and it's very clear that the Democrats plan to do this.
00:04:36.260
In fact, they will often just kind of announce it accidentally.
00:04:39.880
And so I want to go through some of the stories, the headlines over the last week,
00:04:43.740
because I think it's important to look at these arguments, understand why the Democrats are still making them,
00:04:49.220
why guys like Bill Clinton seem to be almost campaigning for Trump,
00:04:53.120
simply by parroting the rhetoric that the left is putting out there.
00:04:58.380
But before we do, let me tell you a little bit about today's sponsor.
00:05:01.580
Universities today aren't just neglecting real education.
00:05:04.460
They're actively undermining it, and we can't let them get away with it.
00:05:07.500
America was made for an educated and engaged citizenry.
00:05:11.040
The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is here to help.
00:05:13.840
ISI offers programs and opportunities for conservative students across the country.
00:05:18.460
ISI understands that conservatives and right-of-center students feel isolated on college campuses
00:05:24.120
and that you're often fighting for your own reputation, dignity, and future.
00:05:29.020
Through ISI, you can learn about what Russell Kirk called the permanent things,
00:05:33.180
the philosophical and political teachings that shaped and made Western civilization great.
00:05:38.140
ISI offers many opportunities to jumpstart your career.
00:05:41.240
They have fellowships at some of the nation's top conservative publications
00:05:44.340
like National Review, The American Conservative, and The College Thinker.
00:05:48.020
If you're a graduate student, ISI offers funding opportunities
00:05:51.160
to sponsor the next great generation of college professors.
00:05:54.340
Through ISI, you can work with conservative thinkers who are making a difference.
00:05:58.240
Thinkers like Chris Ruffo, who currently has an ISI researcher helping him with his book.
00:06:03.260
But perhaps most importantly, ISI offers college students a community of people
00:06:08.700
If you're a college student, ISI can help you start a student organization
00:06:12.060
or a student newspaper or meet other like-minded students at their various conferences and events.
00:06:18.200
ISI is here to educate the next generation of great Americans.
00:06:29.040
So, like I said, there's been a number of different stories in the media.
00:06:34.140
J.D. Vance did a devastating interview with one of the Sunday morning talk shows
00:06:39.040
that really highlighted how horrible the media is on this,
00:06:43.160
how little the media elites care about the American people.
00:06:47.300
And I think, you know, Bill Clinton embarrassed Kamala Harris repeatedly.
00:06:51.120
Like I said, kind of seemed like he was almost campaigning for Donald Trump on some level.
00:06:57.340
But I want to start here because I think this is really important.
00:07:01.720
This is a video of, you know, some workers picking vegetables in a field.
00:07:07.000
And the commenter here, the person who posted this, this post went huge.
00:07:11.880
As you can see, it's got like 17,000 retweets, 80,000 likes.
00:07:16.040
He says, every MAGA I've seen complain about immigrants taking American jobs would never do this.
00:07:25.260
So one of the really interesting things that you see over and over again from the left
00:07:31.340
is an economic argument that more or less boils down to, but who's going to pick the cotton, right?
00:07:41.620
If we don't let a large amount, a vast amount of people come in and work for slave wages,
00:07:48.400
make sure that they have to live in this, you know, illegal existence, get paid under the table,
00:07:54.940
you know, not integrate into the larger community.
00:07:59.900
If we don't bring people in who are just going to funnel all this money that they're making back to
00:08:04.720
people living in, you know, in the host countries that came from,
00:08:07.820
if we don't bring in this labor, if we don't undercut American workers,
00:08:12.380
well, then, then just no one's going to do the job, right?
00:08:14.440
We have to have the slave labor that is provided by illegal immigrants,
00:08:20.460
because otherwise there's just no way that we could, we could eat food.
00:08:25.120
Before vast illegal immigration, you may not have known this,
00:08:28.920
but before vast illegal immigration, Americans did not have farms.
00:08:33.020
We did not have food. We just all starved all the time.
00:08:38.660
It was only by bringing in these huge quantities of people who are not supposed to be here,
00:08:44.620
you know, make sure that they bring in human trafficking.
00:08:48.540
We want to make sure that we have as many gang members as possible.
00:08:51.260
Before this technology of bringing in people for super low rate wages,
00:08:58.720
we just did not have food in the United States.
00:09:01.260
So this amazing innovation of people who will do farming work.
00:09:08.980
Oftentimes, conservatives will just play this off.
00:09:12.660
They'll be like, oh, well, you know, the jobs, it's not that big a deal.
00:09:19.680
No, you do actually need to pay people enough, right?
00:09:31.500
their own countries are in such a terrible position, perhaps,
00:09:36.140
where they will do these jobs even for very low wages,
00:09:39.920
wages well below a living standard in the United States.
00:09:46.040
but let's just go to the old standard here, the Roman Empire.
00:09:50.380
Many people think about the Civil War in the Roman,
00:09:55.520
you know, the transition between the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire,
00:09:58.720
the Civil War that broke out between Julius Caesar and Pompey,
00:10:06.980
A lot of people think of that as the central time in Roman history,
00:10:10.380
the real turning of destiny inside the Roman Empire.
00:10:18.700
One of the reasons this is such a pivotal time,
00:10:20.840
this is something that people who just kind of have the cliff notes of this time
00:10:23.960
may not be aware of, but if you've gone any deeper,
00:10:28.120
One of the key problems that was occurring during that time in the Roman Empire
00:10:33.480
was that large, wealthy landowners controlled all of the property.
00:10:40.020
There was an accumulation of property in the hands of the aristocracy.
00:10:47.820
And that made it very difficult for the average Roman to be just kind of this citizen farmer.
00:10:54.480
By the way, this is also Thomas Jefferson's vision for what America would be,
00:10:58.980
that the citizen farmer would own a certain plot of land,
00:11:01.900
he would work that land, that would be sustainable for him,
00:11:04.600
that would give him a certain level of dignity,
00:11:09.780
that allowed him to operate separate from the state.
00:11:15.100
but he's not dependent on the central apparatus,
00:11:22.340
the man who's worthy of citizenship because he was a farmer.
00:11:26.740
And this is how Romans understood this as well.
00:11:29.160
One of the things that made you a citizen worthy of being able to vote,
00:11:33.780
for instance, in the Roman Republic was the fact that you own land,
00:11:45.120
what a good independent man contributing to the state looked like.
00:11:49.700
This is why the story of Cincinnatus is another touch point in Roman history,
00:11:56.580
because it's the idea that this guy gives up the dictatorship,
00:12:01.860
even though the people are basically begging him to be king.
00:12:12.800
who gives up this power and returns back to his productive membership as a farm.
00:12:17.360
And so what many men who fought in the Roman legion were looking for was land.
00:12:23.520
This is what the Roman Senate often promised to men who were fighting in the legions,
00:12:33.320
it's much better than money because once you had that piece of land,
00:12:38.200
It was an inheritance that would go from father to son that would sustain the family
00:12:42.480
for generation after generation after generation.
00:12:44.680
This is what defined kind of that Roman independence that I am worthy of participating in warfare.
00:12:52.420
I am worthy of participating in the democracy or the Republic,
00:13:02.080
I am a free man providing for myself and my family and contributing to the community because I have this.
00:13:09.100
And what happened is that more and more of the property was being bought up by these large owners,
00:13:23.860
And so a large amount of Roman wealth started to be held in slaves.
00:13:29.380
we think of currency as something easy now because we,
00:13:35.920
It used to be that currency was very difficult to carry.
00:13:41.700
heavy metal in order to use it and to store it.
00:13:45.820
And so oftentimes wealth is stored in other ways.
00:13:48.920
And one of the other ways it's stored was in slaves because slaves were this,
00:13:56.240
they are the thing that gets most of the labor done.
00:13:59.820
you can't just build a tractor to do the job of a hundred men.
00:14:04.920
You actually need the physical labor of these guys on a regular basis to get the work done.
00:14:09.300
And the Roman oligarchs didn't want to pay Roman citizens for that work.
00:14:18.680
And so Roman citizens couldn't own their own land because so much of it was being bought up
00:14:26.360
making basically what were plantations at the time.
00:14:29.260
And the Roman and the Romans could not work for wages because the oligarchs didn't want to pay
00:14:36.460
The landowners didn't want to pay them a wage that would actually allow them to live.
00:14:54.340
It's just that they don't want to do jobs for slave wages.
00:14:57.300
They want to do jobs that will allow them to pay for a house, to pay for their kid's education,
00:15:05.580
which will allow them to build generational wealth.
00:15:09.180
They want a wage that is actually going to let them afford a healthcare bill, right?
00:15:13.920
Like these are the things that people want their wages to do.
00:15:17.060
Well, companies don't need to pay you that wage if they can import someone who will work
00:15:25.240
Who will work for much, much less money because they don't care.
00:15:29.720
Their healthcare is being subsidized by the government.
00:15:33.700
A lot of the costs of this labor that would normally be calculated into a wage for an
00:15:42.160
American are subsidized by our government for illegals.
00:15:49.520
They're only cheap labor for the company, for the large owner of the land.
00:15:54.980
In this case, they are only a value for the people who are getting the direct benefit of
00:16:00.440
the labor, not for the wider workforce, because not only do the wages get depressed because
00:16:05.780
of this, the people are less likely to pay an American a living wage because there is
00:16:11.080
somebody from a foreign country here illegally who will do that job for way cheaper, but
00:16:16.340
they also know that that person is ultimately going to be subsidized for the government.
00:16:20.160
When one of these workers needs healthcare, they're not going to a normal doctor.
00:16:24.460
They're going to an emergency room and they're not going to pay a dollar for the healthcare
00:16:28.260
they get in that emergency room because they know that the emergency room is required to
00:16:34.700
And so that employee who's getting no healthcare benefits, isn't getting enough money to pay
00:16:42.000
That's not that they're just not going to the doctor, though sometimes they do.
00:16:46.040
That people are just not getting any healthcare at all.
00:16:48.920
But when they do get the healthcare, it is entirely subsidized by you, people who actually
00:16:53.420
pay their insurance premiums and by the government, who is often subsidizing this.
00:16:58.580
We know in, for instance, many of the Haitian immigrants brought into Ohio were being directly
00:17:07.240
They were getting all kinds of healthcare benefits paid for by the government, educational
00:17:13.180
So it's privatizing the benefits of this low wage labor, but socializing the costs of it,
00:17:21.040
You don't get the benefit of making money off of low wage labor, but you do pay all the
00:17:28.120
costs that the government is then socializing by absorbing all of the things that the corporation
00:17:36.440
would have to pay for if they were paying Americans.
00:17:38.960
And so this is a very constant refrain is, well, Americans would just never do these
00:17:48.700
When I worked in Florida, I worked on air conditioning, like all kinds of stuff, not for a long time.
00:17:57.140
I'm not going to pretend like I've just been this hard driving, working class guy my entire
00:18:11.960
If you pay them enough, if you pay them enough money, these jobs will get done.
00:18:17.580
A lot of guys who are sitting out and we don't talk about this enough, the, the, the workforce
00:18:22.340
participation rate, you know, it's not just unemployment.
00:18:26.360
It's the people who have completely dropped out of the economy and are not looking for jobs
00:18:31.040
And the reason is because they simply know that they're not going to make any kind of wage.
00:18:35.720
It's going to be better than whatever government assistance they receive.
00:18:38.900
And so, yeah, these jobs aren't the first thing a lot of people would choose.
00:18:42.640
It's not great to make a living with your body for 20, 30 years.
00:18:47.300
It does have a certain wear and tear on your body.
00:18:50.060
You know, there are people, uh, who, who have to deal with that and it's not the first choice
00:18:55.320
for some people, but there are plenty of people who are happy to, you know, not everyone is
00:18:59.720
going to have an office job and that everyone wants to be inside staring at a laptop or,
00:19:05.060
you know, uh, mindlessly droning through their phone as people complain about what's on the
00:19:13.120
Some people want to work with their hands and more people will want to do that and discover
00:19:17.220
the advantages of that if they can make an actual living wage office.
00:19:25.440
You know, we don't, we don't bring in the slave labor.
00:19:27.040
Or then what we, you know, Americans aren't going to do it.
00:19:34.180
It shows you how little the left cares about workers, the working class, and even the well-being
00:19:41.220
Because their only solution to this problem is, well, then we just legalize everybody.
00:19:48.100
Americans aren't going to do this slave labor job.
00:19:50.480
Also, we need to turn everyone in here into an American.
00:19:54.320
So as soon as they become an American, they can't work for these under the table wages.
00:20:06.880
We are actively looking to phase these style of jobs out.
00:20:11.060
The corporations are looking at these labor pools and they're saying, actually, it would
00:20:15.760
just be better if we could figure out how to get a machine to do this.
00:20:18.380
And you see many different advancements in these areas.
00:20:21.580
So if we are automating, automating, rather, sorry, so many of these jobs, and we are bringing
00:20:30.080
in vast numbers of illegal immigrants to do jobs, we are actively looking to eliminate.
00:20:35.960
You know, what happens when you bring in tens of millions of people to do jobs you're phasing
00:20:41.400
Well, we don't really need to be hypothetical about that.
00:20:45.000
We don't, we don't have to just cast about what the possible futures could be.
00:20:48.960
Look at places in Europe that have Muslim populations, large immigrant populations that
00:20:54.880
have come in where 40% or more of the young men are unemployed.
00:21:08.180
It's, it's creating people with no purpose, no connection to the country, no interest in
00:21:19.940
They become gang members because that's what happens to young men who don't have jobs.
00:21:24.460
When you have young men who can't default into manual labor, they go to something like
00:21:30.120
There are certain numbers of people who could only do jobs like this and only want to do
00:21:36.640
jobs like this or only capable of doing jobs like this.
00:21:39.620
And you need to have them available so that they don't resort to crime because if they don't
00:21:44.380
have a future, if they don't have a way to be productive in society, that's what we're
00:21:48.680
And so now we're moving a vast number of people who don't speak the language, who aren't connected
00:21:53.700
to the culture, who have a, uh, have a higher rate of bringing in things like fentanyl,
00:21:59.820
human trafficking, increasing the likelihood that we will see crime spikes across the United
00:22:07.580
Illegal immigrants don't just cross the border and then disappear.
00:22:15.980
They go to the, uh, or to the starter housing that a lot of people rely on when they're
00:22:21.320
young or, or, or in the, uh, workforce and are trying to move their way up and haven't
00:22:34.740
All of the duplexes, places where a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford
00:22:38.500
housing in, you know, like a, like a four bedroom home, somewhere in a suburb, the places
00:22:43.320
where they go for housing, all of the prices explode in those areas, along with crime, along
00:22:48.720
with, you know, automobile accidents, all these other things that devastate those communities.
00:22:54.280
So now you're making it hard for a working, uh, age, uh, you know, a young man who wants
00:23:01.840
to get onto the ladder, doesn't have a lot of other prospects.
00:23:05.220
You're making it difficult for him to find a job.
00:23:07.280
If he can't find a job, he's got to fight for that job with a bunch of people who are
00:23:11.600
willing to do the work for extremely low wages.
00:23:14.680
And even when he finally makes that money, he has to go compete for housing with a bunch
00:23:21.640
And now the cost of that housing is skyrocketed.
00:23:23.740
That's not even addressing the, the, you know, the strain that is put on the school
00:23:27.420
system, the strain that is put on the medical care facilities, all of this, all of this,
00:23:33.180
but it all just disappears because say, Oh, it's good for the economy.
00:23:37.220
Now I want to go to another video, uh, of Bill Clinton here talking again.
00:23:43.140
It sounds like Bill Clinton joined the Trump campaign from his talking points here, but
00:23:47.460
let's, let's play a video real quick of Bill Clinton discussing, uh, why he thinks we
00:23:55.320
When I found out my friend got a great deal on a designer dress from winners, I started
00:24:00.180
wondering, is every fabulous item I see from winners?
00:24:03.920
Like that woman over there with the Italian leather handbag.
00:24:25.960
A new direction to manage an immigration crisis in a tough time where there's all this upheaval
00:24:33.520
all over the world, where there are border problems all over the world, where millions
00:24:38.540
of people are trying to escape the misery they're in.
00:24:41.580
And other people are saying, well, I want to do what I can and take what I can, but maybe
00:24:50.420
In other words, I don't think Americans are anti-immigration.
00:24:56.660
They, they don't want us to do more than we can.
00:25:00.440
So here, I'm going to continue this video in a second because it gets much worse for him.
00:25:03.980
But I do just want to point out the argument being made here is basically we should be for
00:25:13.200
No, no, no real case made just because other people are having a tough time somewhere else
00:25:18.740
So in Bill Clinton's understanding, immigration, it's basically our job to absorb all people
00:25:25.380
across the world who are having a tough time, who live in a bad country.
00:25:28.820
I hate to tell you this, but there are a lot of people who live in bad countries.
00:25:32.160
In fact, many countries outside the United States are just terrible countries.
00:25:39.460
And so a lot of people would rather live here in the United States than in the countries where
00:25:46.160
If I was one of them, I would also want to live in the United States.
00:25:49.800
I don't blame people for wanting to live in a better country.
00:25:57.520
One of the reasons our country is great is because it's full of Americans.
00:26:01.120
Americans and because it's going to be looking out for Americans.
00:26:04.660
And actually, we're going to focus on the well-being of the United States.
00:26:08.200
It's not our job to invite the rest of the world to come here and save them from every
00:26:14.980
That's actually not the purpose of the United States.
00:26:22.100
It is not just a zone where people who don't like the current country they're in can come
00:26:28.940
That's actually not what the United States is supposed to be.
00:26:34.960
And so really, we should just bring as many people in as possible.
00:26:44.920
So what they really want is large-scale immigration, but just only as much as we can handle without
00:26:51.440
Well, no, that's actually not what people want.
00:26:53.500
In fact, if you look at American polls, Americans are against immigration.
00:26:57.320
In fact, until about 20 years ago, even the left was rabidly against illegal immigration,
00:27:03.180
and the majority of Americans were very skeptical even about legal immigration.
00:27:07.540
And to this day, more Democrats actually want, you know, a large percentage, I should say,
00:27:17.580
They're actually supportive of mass deportations.
00:27:25.680
Bill Clinton is just lying about what Americans want.
00:27:28.240
They don't want legal or illegal immigration at a vast scale.
00:27:36.100
Just because you wave your wand over immigrants and call them legal doesn't mean it's okay.
00:27:42.320
This is what a lot of people tried with the large amount of Haitian immigration into Ohio.
00:27:46.060
They're like, well, the Harris administration declared them under, you know, this like special
00:27:55.260
You can bring in the entire country of Haiti and it's all legal because we, you know, we
00:28:09.320
We can just fly them in, which the government literally does.
00:28:11.900
We just fly people in and say, you're, you're here legally now.
00:28:16.840
No, actually, Bill Clinton, that's not what anyone wants.
00:28:21.820
This is a project specifically by the ruling class for the ruling class has nothing to do
00:28:28.540
with what Americans, what benefits to Americans.
00:28:34.600
We will feed ourselves or we'll automate the process.
00:28:39.220
And actually, those people in foreign countries who are in bad countries, I feel for them.
00:28:48.040
But ultimately, sorry, that is not the job of this country.
00:28:51.440
It is not the job of this country to absorb every human being having a rough time.
00:28:58.080
That's not what our immigration policy should be.
00:29:01.760
It's not what the people of America want, even people on the left for the most part.
00:29:08.340
But they recognize, at least most people do, we got the lowest birth rate we've had in
00:29:18.500
We're not at replacement level, which means we got to have somebody come here if we want
00:29:26.360
Unless one of you is one of these artificial intelligence geniuses and figured out how we
00:29:36.460
As you say, there is actually automation occurring.
00:29:38.920
So it's very stupid to rush out and fill our country with people just for the purpose of
00:29:45.100
bringing in people to do jobs that are literally being phased out as fast as possible as we
00:29:51.800
But you'll notice the more important thing there is he really gave up the game, right?
00:29:58.620
Remember, the Great Replacement is a conspiracy theory.
00:30:05.900
It's, you know, Tucker Carlson, you know, he dreamed it up in his propaganda lab somewhere,
00:30:10.920
probably with the help of Vladimir Putin, except actually Bill Clinton just told you
00:30:16.860
Because this is what Democrats do all the time.
00:30:19.700
They call this a conspiracy theory and then they openly advocate for it and they give
00:30:23.760
their exact logic and their logic is we have to replace you.
00:30:29.040
Listen to what he said there and how nefarious it is, right?
00:30:32.840
Oh, well, you know, we don't have people at replacement rate.
00:30:43.920
That is a serious issue for, especially when we have a system that is built on malignant
00:30:49.480
Now, I think we should build a system that is not built entirely around growth.
00:30:56.080
Actually, we should allow for the natural swelling and yes, contracting of populations
00:31:01.980
that are, it's normal to a lot of different civilizations.
00:31:06.360
It's not great that populations contract, but it is to a level, to a degree natural, at
00:31:12.860
We should probably build a system that is not just a Ponzi scheme.
00:31:16.100
We should probably not build a welfare state that is entirely dependent on us growing forever
00:31:24.780
That is not the way to build an economy, to build a system, to build a government.
00:31:29.820
So that's a problem with our system all by itself.
00:31:32.700
However, given that we do want to actually have replacement rates and when it comes to
00:31:40.420
births, we actually do want Americans to have a future.
00:31:44.840
Then we need to think about the problem of Americans and why they aren't doing that,
00:32:01.440
But, you know, there are things that you can do to help, right?
00:32:05.000
There are policies in our government right now that are anti-family, anti-child.
00:32:10.660
One of them is mass immigration, by the way, because it's much harder for native-born Americans
00:32:15.400
to start families when they have to compete for healthcare, jobs, benefits, housing, all
00:32:23.520
these other things with people who aren't supposed to be here.
00:32:26.420
So your policies are actively anti-birth rate increase, right?
00:32:38.900
I think we should think of ways in which we can reward people for having families, facilitate
00:32:47.400
But this is a much deeper spiritual issue, right?
00:32:51.620
Ultimately, this is not just a material problem.
00:32:56.860
You know, you had guys like Augustus, like Octavian, implement policies that punished Roman
00:33:09.980
That was a huge thing that he tried to do because the Romans were having a similar problem when
00:33:18.800
If you look back at the Spartans, the Spartans had a policy where basically you were not actually
00:33:28.040
That was something, if you were someone who refused to take a wife as a Spartan, that could
00:33:34.760
actually get you ostracized, you would lose the ability for certain social advancements,
00:33:41.160
Now, we used to have these benefits kind of just culturally built in, right?
00:33:44.560
People didn't trust a president who didn't have children or a family.
00:33:48.160
You know, it would be if you weren't a family man in a business, that would be something that
00:33:55.200
You know, why aren't you participating in kind of this normal social behavior?
00:33:59.360
But ultimately, it's not just those negative features of social pressure.
00:34:05.380
Like, do Americans see themselves as a people with a future?
00:34:09.060
Do they see themselves as people on the ascent?
00:34:12.260
Do you, are you excited about the future and do you want to share it with another generation?
00:34:19.820
Religious people just undeniably have more children.
00:34:22.200
You know, they are people who see themselves in a position where they are, they have a
00:34:31.320
They look to spread their faith, not just through conversions, but through procreation.
00:34:37.080
They are being fruitful and multiplying because it's a biblical injunction.
00:34:40.780
And so these are all issues that surround this.
00:34:42.960
But rather than address any of those, don't address the material, economic, social, spiritual,
00:34:59.140
It's not, you're not doing any kind of hypothetical here.
00:35:07.300
We have to import people or we just won't be able to keep the economy running.
00:35:12.840
Now, I'm young enough to remember, or old enough, I guess this is probably the right
00:35:18.560
I am old enough to remember when this was, you know, a terrible thing for the left to
00:35:30.560
At the end of the day, all we care about is the cotton gets picked.
00:35:35.060
At the end of the day, the cotton has to get picked.
00:35:37.660
And so we will import all the slave labor we need to pick the cotton.
00:35:42.520
And if you're not willing to do that, then you're, you know, part of this problem.
00:35:46.520
You know, you're, you're going to doom the economy.
00:35:53.080
The right has been just as guilty of this, especially mainstream conservatives, neoconservative
00:36:00.100
You know, this, this is very much in that vein, right?
00:36:03.060
The Koch brothers, you know, Bernie Sanders used to say very correctly that this was, you
00:36:07.720
know, there's a Koch brothers conspiracy of open borders.
00:36:13.180
Of course, Bernie Sanders eventually changed that tune because he wanted power or he thought
00:36:18.200
he would make a run inside the democratic party.
00:36:20.620
You know, they, they just stabbed him in the back.
00:36:23.300
But ultimately, you know, he changed his tune because it's important on the left to pretend
00:36:28.840
like the economic reality of lowering people's wages through mass immigration isn't real.
00:36:41.760
They don't care about your ability to have a family or a home or pay for healthcare or
00:36:48.600
They don't want you to be able to have that farm.
00:36:50.620
They don't want you to be able to have that, that proverbial farm, that independence, that
00:36:55.500
Jeffersonian idea of the, you know, the, the, the noble farmer in the United States earning
00:37:04.900
That is exactly the opposite of what they want.
00:37:06.700
They want dependent people who require the state for their very existence and will vote
00:37:17.220
And Bill Clinton just gives it away right here.
00:37:19.300
Like I said, it felt like he was campaigning for Trump.
00:37:21.880
Here's another video of him saying something quite amazing.
00:37:24.980
You had a case in Georgia not very long ago, didn't you?
00:37:27.360
They made an ad about, about a young woman who'd been killed by an immigrant.
00:37:31.260
Yeah, well, if they'd all been properly vetted, that probably wouldn't have happened.
00:37:38.480
But if they all properly vetted and that doesn't happen, I'm Donald J. Trump.
00:37:44.960
I love that someone just, uh, ended the Trump bumper in there at the end, like it, like it's
00:37:52.160
Like his, his, what he's trying to say here is, well, we have to bring everyone through
00:37:58.020
You know, we'll just bring in everyone through the process first.
00:38:07.820
We've seen the data from ice that actually, uh, we are letting in tens of millions or sorry,
00:38:16.500
tens of thousands of, uh, of rapists and murders.
00:38:27.580
Those are the only the ones they're admitting to.
00:38:29.200
They said over half a million immigrants who came in, uh, under the, uh, the Biden Harris
00:38:37.120
regime were criminals and tens of thousands of them were either guilty of rape or, and,
00:38:44.020
and murder, or they were charged with it and, and had charges pending that is coming into
00:38:50.360
And this, again, these are the people we know about.
00:38:52.740
You are not vetting people, even the people who are going through the process in theory
00:39:00.020
And he even admits if we, you know, if, if we, you know, we didn't have those people
00:39:03.300
here, Lincoln Riley would be alive today actually, but we didn't do that.
00:39:09.140
And we're not going to do that, but you should let these people in any way, because, well,
00:39:12.900
if you don't, then, uh, who's going to pick the cotton, right?
00:39:16.140
Lincoln, Lincoln Riley had to die because if you don't let people like Lincoln Riley
00:39:21.140
die, then who, you know, you won't, we won't have cheap vegetables, which, you know, your
00:39:27.660
So it looks like all those cheap labor is actually not holding down your food prices, but whatever.
00:39:34.540
We don't, they don't have to have any basis in reality.
00:39:36.880
We don't really even think about them at this point.
00:39:43.120
It, it, it, even when, you know, they're on the stump speech and Bill Clinton can't even
00:39:47.360
deliver the talking points about vetting immigrants and the economic necessity of immigrants without
00:39:53.600
saying, by the way, yeah, they might murder your kids.
00:39:56.340
And yeah, by the way, they're probably going to replace you.
00:40:01.880
Like you can't even get through the talking points without admitting all of the actual conservative
00:40:07.160
or right-wing arguments against what is happening here, but they do it anyway.
00:40:13.560
Now, this last video is probably the most amazing one.
00:40:17.700
Last Sunday doing the, the, the rounds, you know you have JD Vance on ABC and just, just
00:40:28.820
Let me, let me play this amazing interview moment for you.
00:40:31.320
The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment conflicts, apartment complexes.
00:40:38.520
And the mayor said our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns, a handful of
00:40:49.000
Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald
00:40:54.600
Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's open border.
00:40:57.660
Americans are so fed up with what's going on and they have every right to be.
00:41:02.380
And I really find this exchange, Martha, sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused
00:41:08.220
with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said rather than acknowledging that apartment
00:41:14.200
complexes in the United States of America are being taken over by violent gangs.
00:41:19.080
I worry so much more about that problem than anything else here.
00:41:23.800
We've got to get American communities in a safe space again.
00:41:26.920
And unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions, most of whom are unvetted,
00:41:32.480
most of whom you don't know who they really are, you're going to have problems like this.
00:41:37.260
Now, first I want to acknowledge before we even get to the content of the video, how good
00:41:43.820
And, um, you know, I supported JD Vance to be the vice presidential pick more or less from
00:41:49.900
As soon as his name was being floated on the shortlist, uh, I made that evident.
00:41:53.500
There's, there's multiple, uh, you know, recordings of me, episodes of me doing that tweets, whatnot.
00:41:58.560
You can check those, the receipts if you'd like.
00:42:01.480
But as soon as he got announced, there was this, this effort to say, Oh, JD Vance is weird.
00:42:07.760
And a lot of people on the right, especially the never Trump guys, like they're really,
00:42:11.820
really, uh, you know, bitter people who, uh, you know, just hate Trump and, and, and, and
00:42:17.320
MAGA stuff and are just constantly, they bought into this.
00:42:22.000
He's a, he's a, you know, uh, uh, uh, uh, wait on the ticket.
00:42:26.800
He's an anchor around Trump's neck, albatross, blah, blah, blah.
00:42:30.820
This was the line that even a lot of, uh, never Trump conservatives or, you know, people
00:42:35.720
who, who they don't call themselves never Trump, but you, you know, exactly what I'm talking
00:42:39.400
about, they, they gave us this idea that JD Vance was just a terrible pick and JD Vance
00:42:45.120
has proven over and over again, whether it's leaving Tim Waltz, basically six feet under
00:42:50.360
in their debate, or just throwing the media on their back on a regular basis, just judo
00:42:56.420
moving them over and over again with the, uh, with the most incredible ease.
00:43:02.200
He has proven himself to be an excellent choice, right?
00:43:05.400
He, he is in many ways better than Trump when it comes to handling the media.
00:43:10.920
And Trump is already very good at handling the media.
00:43:17.220
He dismisses them very, you know, very effective, uh, you know, support that not, not, not knocking
00:43:22.360
that in any way, but JD Vance does it in the way that a lot of, um, how do we say, uh,
00:43:27.340
very upright, uh, stodgy conservatives wanted, right?
00:43:35.040
I don't want Donald Trump making fun of people is a problem.
00:43:39.400
I want a policy-based, well, here's JD Vance, right?
00:43:43.820
If you still have a problem with the Trump campaign with JD Vance saying stuff like that,
00:43:48.180
turning the tables like that, then I think you're just not a Republican.
00:43:53.780
You should just go, just stop pretending like you care.
00:43:56.600
Like JD Vance is giving you exactly what you want, right?
00:43:59.200
He's effective at reframing, rejecting the frame of the media, and then flipping it and
00:44:05.100
coming around and saying, actually, you're the problem.
00:44:10.520
And the fact that people, you know, we're down on him about this.
00:44:22.940
If someone said that, you should remember that when they then give you another piece
00:44:27.720
of political commentary, when they then give you another piece of political advice.
00:44:34.960
And they were, in most cases, motivated because they were just, they had a large amount
00:44:41.760
JD Vance is exactly what you pretended you wanted Trump to be.
00:44:52.940
The actual answer is really important because as he points out to this host, this ABC host,
00:44:58.820
she says, oh, well, they said it's just a handful.
00:45:01.420
It's just a handful of apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado.
00:45:06.300
The correct number of apartment complexes being owned by foreign gangs, being controlled by
00:45:14.080
foreign gangs, being turned into no-go zones by foreign gangs in the United States is zero.
00:45:29.320
There are a lot of very important issues in our society.
00:45:31.940
I support a wide array of things to address them.
00:45:38.460
But if I'm going to be a single issue voter, here's my single issue.
00:45:44.340
No apartment complex in the United States should be owned by a foreign gang.
00:45:49.520
No American should have to fear Venezuelan gangs or huge populations of Haitian migrants in
00:45:58.880
their hometown, controlling areas and making it impossible for them to live their lives.
00:46:07.880
And the United States military should be deployed at the border to stop this.
00:46:13.220
Every police officer should have the ability to immediately remove someone on the basis of
00:46:19.720
their immigration status and get them deported immediately, not through a number of hearings
00:46:25.440
and are this, this person contributing and do they have family here?
00:46:32.940
These people should not be in the United States and the most certainly should not be
00:46:36.940
threatening the lives of humans in the United States.
00:46:41.200
The people of the United States deserve to live in safety.
00:46:44.880
They deserve a neighborhood where their kids can grow up and play outside, where they can
00:46:55.480
I got the gray, you know, but I'm not that old.
00:46:57.420
I remember being able to ride the bike across town, go miles and miles.
00:47:02.260
In my hometown and my parents didn't think about it twice because we lived in a high
00:47:09.300
There were no Venezuelan gangs holding up apartments in the places where I grew up.
00:47:29.140
It's just a, it's just a few apartment complexes.
00:47:39.820
It's just a few children being human trafficked.
00:47:42.600
It's just a few neighborhoods being completely obsolesced by foreign populations being brought
00:47:49.180
It's just a few people who can't afford housing because it's skyrocketed.
00:47:53.680
It's just a few people who can't get health care because they are at the back of the line
00:47:57.860
behind illegal immigrants subsidized by the United States.
00:48:04.840
Actually, it's a massive amount and we know it.
00:48:08.100
But even if it wasn't a lie, even if it was just a handful, that would be enough.
00:48:16.400
It would be worth it just to save the people in that situation.
00:48:23.920
And that's what J.D. Vance is calling out here.
00:48:34.980
She does not care if your kids die because they don't get health care.
00:48:38.080
She does not care if you cannot afford housing.
00:48:40.760
She does not care if an illegal immigrant murders your child.
00:48:43.780
She does not care if your kid dies from an OD that came through, you know,
00:48:49.100
laced drug drugs, laced with fentanyl that came through a drug mule.
00:48:54.000
In fact, as we see from Bill Clinton, maybe you deserve it.
00:48:59.300
Maybe that's just the cost of the economy, right?
00:49:04.860
You actually want to make enough money to pay for health care and pay for a house
00:49:12.840
I mean, you're not voting Democrat anyway, right?
00:49:22.460
Well, that's just the part, you know, part of life now.
00:49:26.620
As the, I think it was Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London,
00:49:29.720
that's part and parcel of living in a city now.
00:49:37.720
It's not this, you know, I think the Covfefe Anon is a great Twitter poster.
00:49:42.840
And he's got this thing about the liberal passive voice,
00:49:46.960
how leftists are always speaking as if things just happen to them.
00:49:54.480
This part and parcel of living in a society like this.
00:50:00.000
It's the cost of doing business to have a functioning economy.
00:50:13.300
You are choosing to let foreign gangs literally conquer.
00:50:18.920
If you don't understand this, I don't know how to explain it more clearly,
00:50:23.420
These gangs are conquering the United States in the most real way possible.
00:50:30.000
When you hold territory that American citizens cannot enter or cannot safely occupy,
00:50:37.640
and you are a collection of foreigners, you have conquered that area.
00:50:46.180
We can look like other European nations who have this scenario.
00:50:49.420
They've imported so many people who always seem to move together.
00:50:55.120
It's never one or two people assimilating into the wider culture.
00:50:58.640
It's always large blocks of people from the same region, the same ethnicity, the same nationality,
00:51:04.740
moving into an area, creating a ghetto, a culture that is their own, a space that is their
00:51:16.600
And in these areas in Europe, there are these no-go zones, no-go zones.
00:51:20.620
You just can't go in as a police officer because they don't control that area more.
00:51:24.140
That area is effectively conquered with the assent of the government.
00:51:28.320
The government has said, we were going to move populations in, and then we're going to
00:51:31.480
make it more or less illegal to police those populations.
00:51:33.900
If you police those populations, you're a racist.
00:51:38.060
All of these things, if you notice that these populations are dangerous,
00:51:40.740
you're, you're a racist, you're going to get fired.
00:51:42.360
You're going to lose your ability to have a bank account.
00:51:44.300
You're not going to be able to speak in public.
00:51:46.620
Like this is, this is the regime we actually live under.
00:51:50.100
This is the way that Americans are actually treated.
00:51:52.620
And we can see where this goes in different European countries.
00:51:56.400
So the fact that she's just like, oh, well, it's just a few, no, no.
00:51:59.880
Just a few areas being conquered by illegal immigrant gangs is a problem.
00:52:04.800
That is a, it's not just a, a small happenstance.
00:52:09.300
And the fact that this is all being facilitated by the government, this would not be happening
00:52:13.460
if we did not have an explicit open borders policy.
00:52:16.560
Kamala Harris doesn't need a single bill passed.
00:52:19.340
Joe Biden doesn't need a single bill passed to police the border.
00:52:24.720
In fact, they actively removed Trump's executive orders that allowed them to do that.
00:52:29.660
They don't care if the borders open, they are not fighting against a, an open border.
00:52:37.460
They are maliciously facilitating a hostile invasion of the United States.
00:52:48.500
They are stealing your tax money that should be paying for your children's healthcare, your
00:52:52.960
children's education, your ability to have a safe, a safe place to raise your family.
00:52:58.620
They are stealing that money and they are using it to subsidize the invasion of literally
00:53:04.500
apartment complexes where working class people should be living.
00:53:11.020
And the fact that people like this host, this ABC host are so incredibly callous that they,
00:53:20.880
They are so wildly out of touch because they know they are never going to face the consequences
00:53:25.140
because they have enough social privilege and enough money to avoid this, right?
00:53:30.140
The, the old joke is, uh, you know, the college is there, like, uh, elite colleges are there
00:53:35.740
to give you the right opinion about diversity and enough money to avoid the consequences.
00:53:42.920
This is a woman who will never live in a neighborhood that is overrun by illegal immigrant crime.
00:53:49.500
She will never not be able to get a home or afford rent for her family because they have
00:53:56.580
all skyrocketed because illegal immigrants have taken over the working class housing in
00:54:01.300
She will never fail to get a job that will support, uh, her family or her lifestyle because
00:54:07.980
an illegal immigrant has coming in and taken that job and made that, uh, working that job
00:54:16.660
And in the rare situations where they do, many of these people become basically neoconservatives
00:54:25.020
I predicted over a year ago that she was on the trajectory to basically become one of these.
00:54:29.980
I'm not the, the, I didn't leave the left, left, left me neoconservative types.
00:54:34.020
I know there's another connotation with Zionism and, and, and stuff.
00:54:37.540
And, but I'm speaking specifically simply, you know, simply about the old line, a, uh,
00:54:45.320
And so there are some of these people like Anna Kasparian who are basically sprinting
00:54:48.820
to the right at this point because they felt the effects of, of violent crime, because
00:54:53.100
they affect, uh, the effects of lawlessness have actually impacted them and their community.
00:55:00.200
So maybe some of these people will eventually run into some kind of reality and realize,
00:55:04.440
oh, actually we do need some level of law and order.
00:55:07.040
And actually maybe open borders aren't the best thing for us.
00:55:10.040
But ultimately many of these people will simply continue to push these policies because they're
00:55:16.400
never going to feel the pain, or at least they'll be eaten last.
00:55:20.240
And until then it sustains their lifestyle and keeps them in power.
00:55:24.600
All right, guys, we're going to move over to the questions of the people here.
00:55:35.160
You want fair elections and no glorified slave underclass.
00:55:38.800
We have to care about the native populace, uh, the smart left.
00:55:43.300
Again, this, this is the attitude they take over and over again.
00:55:48.320
And the, the hilarious thing is basically every one of their arguments boils down to,
00:55:54.340
Someone's got to pick the cotton and you deserve to be replaced.
00:55:57.640
These are their, their, their two real arguments for legal immigration.
00:56:01.740
They might make other ones, but if you listen to them long enough, they always default to
00:56:08.080
Sorry, we have to have slave labor and, or you deserve to be replaced by that slave labor.
00:56:13.960
That, that, that is exactly how they try to sell this at the end of the day or justify
00:56:20.220
Uh, Florida Henry says, it seems to me that a concentration of wealth causes birth collapse
00:56:25.880
And now America, there is a very real point here.
00:56:29.560
And this is a, a serious problem that has to be addressed.
00:56:33.460
There is, um, you know, the, the idea of wealth inequality is often very overblown by
00:56:40.620
There is a, uh, a level at which, uh, this is kind of just jealousy rhetoric coming out
00:56:46.520
of the left, but there is also a certain point at which we need to recognize that the system
00:56:54.460
And that does create a situation in which people simply don't want children.
00:57:00.020
Now, to be clear, abundance also seems to be a part of this formula.
00:57:04.380
Actually, the more affluent and modernized people have it, uh, often the, the fewer children,
00:57:10.980
In fact, there are many situations that, you know, you can think of, you know, many countries
00:57:14.720
where, uh, some kind of Sultan is a multi-zillionaire, right?
00:57:18.700
They're making tons of money off of, uh, you know, the oil or whatever, and then the rest
00:57:23.340
of their country's in poverty, but they still have, um, more children than people in the
00:57:29.420
Uh, even though they're in, in the wealth concentration, the disparity in wealth is much
00:57:34.300
Uh, you can even think, you know, look at a place like, uh, like North versus South Korea.
00:57:38.800
The birth rates in North Korea are higher than they are in South Korea.
00:57:42.300
Now that doesn't mean I'd want to live in North Korea, but you know, there's obviously
00:57:46.540
terrible conditions that people live there, uh, you know, in there, you know, the, the,
00:57:50.820
the material conditions of people who are in the ruling class in North Korea are vastly
00:57:55.800
superior to anyone in, you know, the, the, the average populace in North Korea, but they're
00:58:01.460
still having more children than people in South Korea, even though those people are much
00:58:05.540
Now that doesn't mean there aren't wealth disparity issues in South Korea, but my point being is
00:58:09.200
I agree with you, Florida, Henry, that is an issue and it is something that should be
00:58:14.180
But I think also we need to, you know, if we, if we look at the totality of the situation,
00:58:18.860
if we look at counter examples, we can point to the fact that this is not the only cause,
00:58:24.960
Uh, the, the, this is a problem that pops up in the civilizations you're citing.
00:58:31.340
We shouldn't, you know, do the, what is often the conservative approach of just being like,
00:58:36.560
We just don't care about any of the, you know, any of this, uh, concentration of wealth because,
00:58:40.780
uh, you know, you should be able to just make as much money, whatever.
00:58:43.360
And it, it never matters, but at the same time, we don't want to just then default to the politics
00:58:51.980
Uh, and, and instead, uh, you know, realize that the problem you're facing again is, is,
00:58:58.460
has many different causes and is as much spiritual as it is economic.
00:59:03.580
So that we should address material causes to the extent that they are involved, but many
00:59:09.500
states have actually, and many governments have actually involved themselves in trying
00:59:19.640
Uh, tiny Rick says, even if Trump and Vance win, there's so much damage at the ground level,
00:59:25.740
The spiritual sickness isn't going to disappear even with our guys in office.
00:59:29.780
We need to recognize that Trump and Vance getting to office, if that happens, is only
00:59:37.580
It creates space for us to solve this problem, but it does not solve the problem.
00:59:41.260
And that's why I want people, you know, do I want Trump and Vance to win?
00:59:46.080
But ultimately our, our problems are much deeper and we need to be prepared to solve these
00:59:52.080
on a local level and we need to be able to solve these on a regional level and we need
00:59:56.300
to focus on the spiritual aspects along with the material.
00:59:59.620
If we simply sit here and say, Oh, we elected Trump.
01:00:03.160
Well, then you're just falling into the same trap that conservatives have fallen into for
01:00:10.200
No, actually things were actively being undermined.
01:00:14.200
Even though someone you elected was in power, sometimes it was their fault.
01:00:18.460
Sometimes it wasn't, but either way, it is not simply enough to elect a
01:00:27.640
We have to recognize that these changes have to be made in our communities, in our
01:00:31.120
churches, in our families, at the societal level or at each level of society, not just,
01:00:38.260
Oh, we elected someone at the, you know, that that's going to give us a little bit of
01:00:45.300
You know, if JD Vance and Trump can create space for us by, you know, uh, protecting these
01:00:51.300
populations by, uh, reducing federal, uh, intervention in the lives of people, by keeping the state
01:00:58.720
from actively, uh, you know, prosecuting its political enemies like that.
01:01:07.660
And that's something that the federal government can do.
01:01:11.820
But ultimately we need this all across the board strategy.
01:01:15.260
And we, we have to recognize that it's not enough to just elect people.
01:01:18.300
Um, uh, silly cat says, thanks for one of the best channels on YouTube.
01:01:26.160
There's a lot of really great, uh, channels on YouTube, a lot of great commentators.
01:01:32.800
Uh, you know, a lot of people I really respect, uh, and I am just incredibly grateful to have
01:01:37.660
an amazing audience, to have the opportunity to, to do this, uh, for a living.
01:01:42.540
And you know, it's a couple of years ago, I couldn't have dreamed of this being a real
01:01:47.040
So, uh, I, I'm humbled and I appreciate those that make it possible, including you guys.
01:01:52.460
Uh, and you know, most, especially you guys, uh, dash here says the birth rate, birth rate
01:01:57.820
difference of the two careers appears to be that communism is more sustainable than liberalism.
01:02:03.740
You know, uh, again, I wouldn't make that the, the, I wouldn't make the monocausal argument,
01:02:09.620
I don't think it's just communism versus liberalism there.
01:02:12.340
Uh, you know, the birth rates also ended up being a problem in communist countries too.
01:02:17.700
Uh, uh, I think there are larger effects of modernity that have to be taken into, uh, account.
01:02:23.300
I, I really, I believe in my bones, uh, and this is what makes me a real reactionary and not,
01:02:31.380
I believe in my bones, uh, and I don't have, you know, the, there are probably mountains of
01:02:36.500
evidence that one day I'll accumulate, but I don't have it all to lay out before you.
01:02:40.340
But I do think in some way, modernity is the great filter that there is a level of
01:02:44.980
complexity that society simply cannot achieve without ultimately undermining the identity
01:02:51.140
and place and reason for being that people require.
01:02:55.220
And I think the scale of society has, has devastated, uh, a large amount of our ability
01:03:00.820
to kind of see ourselves in the future and connect ourselves into a great chain of being
01:03:05.460
that makes us feel like we need to perpetuate our existence, our way of being in, into the future.
01:03:14.020
I think there is a valuable thing to look at, you know, those North Korea versus South Korean
01:03:19.300
examples and say, maybe there is a problem with hyper competitive, uh, hyper individualistic
01:03:28.500
societies there, there might actually be, um, you know, some serious implications
01:03:35.940
or the kind of lifestyle that South Korea has implemented.
01:03:39.300
And that doesn't mean that North Korea is, is better in a very real sense, but it does mean
01:03:44.340
that we need to think about that because, you know, there are places like the United States,
01:03:48.020
which is still, as Bill Clinton pointed out, not doing great on the birth rate front,
01:03:52.100
but it's still doing better, much better than a place like South Korea.
01:03:55.700
So even though South Korea, uh, has a different economy than, uh, North Korea, uh, in many cases,
01:04:03.540
some of the places that have a economy different than North Korea still have better birth rates
01:04:07.940
than North Korea. So it's not like, Oh, communism just fixes this problem.
01:04:11.540
