Summary

In this episode, I talk about the problem of moderate liberals who have buyer s remorse and are now regretting many of the things that have come from the movement they are part of but refuse to take ownership over what they ended up creating.

00:00:00.000 When does fast grocery delivery through Instacart matter most?
00:00:03.720 When your famous grainy mustard potato salad isn't so famous without the grainy mustard.
00:00:08.560 When the barbecue's lit, but there's nothing to grill.
00:00:11.220 When the in-laws decide that, actually, they will stay for dinner.
00:00:14.940 Instacart has all your groceries covered this summer.
00:00:17.560 So download the app and get delivery in as fast as 60 minutes.

00:00:27.100 Instacart. Groceries that over-deliver.
00:00:30.800 Hey, everybody. Thanks for joining me this afternoon.
00:00:33.460 I am Oren McIntyre.
00:00:36.100 I want to talk to you guys a little bit about the problem of moderate liberals.
00:00:39.840 The problem of liberals who have some buyer's remorse.
00:00:43.820 Progressives who fell off the tip of the spear of the revolution
00:00:47.200 and are now regretting many of the things that have come from the movement that they are part of
00:00:54.200 but refuse to take ownership over what they ended up creating.
00:01:00.080 I want to also talk to you a little bit about Donald Trump saying that we should end the Bud Light boycott
00:01:05.180 and about Elon revealing Disney and its slate of different required diversity
00:01:11.200 hires, representation, everything, internal documents coming out from Disney
00:01:16.180 which obviously should be illegal under the Civil Rights Act, violate all kinds of things.
00:01:21.520 I'm going to talk about why they probably don't or why we're unlikely to see action
00:01:25.140 though I'm hoping that we eventually will.
00:01:27.940 Before we start with all of that, guys, let's go ahead and hear from today's sponsor.
00:01:32.600 Hey, guys.
00:01:33.060 I need to tell you about today's sponsor, New Founding Talent.
00:01:36.420 Look, we all know that the job market is a disaster right now.
00:01:40.160 Based people can't find good companies to work for
00:01:43.340 and good companies can't find anybody to get the job done.
00:01:47.480 The competency crisis is very, very real.
00:01:50.300 So how do we get these two incredibly important groups together?
00:01:54.400 We need organizations like New Founding.
00:01:57.560 New Founding has created a network of high excellence professionals
00:02:00.620 who are seeking to join grounded American businesses.
00:02:04.000 These are individuals often in elite organizations
00:02:06.560 who are ready for a team and a mission that supports their values
00:02:10.300 instead of working against them.
00:02:12.420 Aligned companies are already using this network to hire high trust,
00:02:15.860 exceptional individuals who can match the culture and mission of their teams.
00:02:20.780 So if you're looking for better employees to build a better world,
00:02:24.200 you need to go ahead and apply for access to the New Founding Talent Network
00:02:27.560 at newfounding.com backslash talent.
00:02:30.760 You'll get connected with candidates who will build your business.
00:02:34.280 That's newfounding.com backslash talent.
00:02:37.820 Check it out today.
00:02:39.680 All right, guys.
00:02:40.500 So let's go ahead and jump into it.
00:02:42.200 Like I said, I want to start off with the phenomenon of the unrepentant liberal
00:02:46.960 who finds himself no longer welcome on the left,
00:02:50.460 but all of a sudden realizes that he should probably make some kind of common cause
00:02:56.980 with people who are conservative,
00:02:58.960 the kind of people that they've hated their entire life,
00:03:01.980 but don't really change anything about what they've been doing,
00:03:06.480 the way that they led a movement to where it is now.
00:03:10.800 Of course, I've mentioned people like this before.
00:03:13.120 We've talked about people like Bill Maher, that kind of thing.
00:03:16.440 But there's more and more of this showing up.
00:03:18.340 And I want to dive deeper into why we keep seeing this phenomenon
00:03:21.620 and why it's such a problem,
00:03:23.500 because a lot of people want to welcome guys like this in.
00:03:26.800 They want to say, oh, well, I mean, if you're against the left,
00:03:29.440 then obviously you must be on our team.
00:03:32.900 We share something.
00:03:33.940 We're going to end up creating a coalition that's going to win.
00:03:36.720 But I want to talk about why the fact that these people are unrepentant
00:03:41.020 about their leftism, why they don't see where they messed up,
00:03:45.400 is a serious problem and why that's more likely to pull people on the right,
00:03:49.240 conservatives, that kind of thing, into the center along with them
00:03:52.660 than it is to actually create something that's going to defeat the left.
00:03:56.100 So, like I said, been seeing on Twitter a lot people like Richard Dawkins,
00:04:01.500 and Richard Dawkins is complaining,
00:04:02.920 oh, how can people not understand that there are two sexes?
00:04:06.640 That's a biological fact.
00:04:08.320 I mean, yes, you can argue about genders and these kind of things,
00:04:11.460 but the biology is set.
00:04:13.380 This is obviously a fact.
00:04:15.060 There's nothing you can do about it.
00:04:16.600 How can these people say that there are just infant,
00:04:20.060 a number of biological sexes?
00:04:22.060 Same thing.
00:04:22.780 I've also noticed someone like Brett Weinstein.
00:04:25.160 He was complaining about the fact that people were challenging credentials.
00:04:30.200 If a doctor didn't agree with certain vaccination requirements
00:04:34.380 or different things that have now become a mainstay of necessary political,
00:04:40.800 ideological belief, if you want to operate in most professions,
00:04:45.640 especially high-profile professions like the medical profession.
00:04:49.480 And he's saying, we can't do this.
00:04:51.040 This is the end of everything.
00:04:53.000 This is the point of no return.
00:04:54.560 And once we start firing medical professionals for just acknowledging the truth
00:04:58.880 about biology or science,
00:05:00.600 then we've broken the entire system and it's all shattered.
00:05:03.960 And I want to make it really clear because I made it clear in a thread
00:05:06.880 responding to Brett that this was not about him.
00:05:10.680 I don't know Brett personally.
00:05:12.420 I've obviously, like many people, seen him on a number of different things.
00:05:16.200 He seems like a nice guy,
00:05:17.800 though I would disagree with many of the things I've heard him say,
00:05:21.320 but he has at least looked at the progressive left
00:05:26.040 and realized that they're a problem.
00:05:28.480 However, many people like Brett share a kind of a common issue.
00:05:33.480 And again, I don't know about Brett personally.
00:05:35.480 This is not an attack on him.
00:05:37.320 He took it as that because I quote tweeted him
00:05:39.240 when I kind of made this argument,
00:05:41.340 but that was not the purpose.
00:05:42.520 Maybe none of this applies to him,
00:05:43.920 though I think some of it applies to him.
00:05:45.800 But I want to make a wider argument.
00:05:48.240 And then the argument is that a lot of these people
00:05:50.540 who were progressives,
00:05:52.400 and I think it's pretty fair to say that a guy like Brett
00:05:54.780 was a pretty progressive guy.
00:05:57.000 Obviously, people like Richard Dawkins,
00:05:59.600 a militant atheist who set out to destroy Christianity
00:06:03.660 and all the fundamental building blocks that were attached to it.
00:06:07.040 Guys like Sam Harris,
00:06:08.620 again, another militant atheist
00:06:10.740 who thought it was his duty to go after a religion
00:06:14.320 in the name of science.
00:06:15.800 All of these people thought that it was really critical now
00:06:19.720 at this moment to arrest this revolution
00:06:22.580 that has been just tearing through our society,
00:06:24.820 the wokeness that has been destroying
00:06:27.520 a lot of the social capital,
00:06:30.420 the critical things that make civilization possible.
00:06:32.920 They thought that it was really important
00:06:34.660 all of a sudden that we take notice.
00:06:37.420 And the whole point that I made in kind of my argument
00:06:39.720 was great that you guys suddenly noticed
00:06:43.920 that there's a problem.
00:06:44.900 I'm glad that all of a sudden we realized
00:06:47.620 maybe a few years ago that this was an issue.
00:06:51.300 But actually, this goes way back.
00:06:53.660 This revolution is very old,
00:06:55.520 and most of you were a part of it from the beginning.
00:06:59.120 If you were a militant atheist,
00:07:01.260 if you were a radical feminist,
00:07:02.900 if you were someone who was pushing the idea
00:07:05.720 that nations are illegitimate,
00:07:07.580 if you were one of these people
00:07:09.300 who had what were progressive views at the time,
00:07:13.280 you are part of this revolution.
00:07:15.680 You just don't like that it kept going.
00:07:17.400 You just don't like that it started breaking down
00:07:19.240 some of these fundamental building blocks.
00:07:22.200 But this is not just starting.
00:07:24.440 This has not just become an issue.
00:07:26.280 And the joke for a lot of these people
00:07:28.400 is they're now warning us
00:07:30.060 that this is the point of no return, right?
00:07:32.740 This is the point of no return,
00:07:34.600 as Brett said in his post.
00:07:36.980 We have to worry that this is the moment
00:07:38.860 where things have gone too far.
00:07:41.020 But that's not true.
00:07:42.460 That's not the case.
00:07:44.880 Yes, this looks like the final step, right?
00:07:48.640 If we abolish the fact
00:07:50.300 that we have independent scientists,
00:07:52.360 that we have researchers,
00:07:54.440 that we have medical doctors
00:07:55.600 that can do their job
00:07:56.740 and look at the science
00:07:57.760 and tell the truth about it,
00:07:59.000 yeah, that looks like a problem.
00:08:00.880 Yes, I understand how you can think
00:08:02.600 that was the final straw.
00:08:04.400 But that's not the case.
00:08:05.920 And the fact that you just woke up to it,
00:08:07.920 well, that's great,
00:08:08.520 except where were you
00:08:10.160 when the revolution was tearing apart
00:08:11.940 things like the church and the family
00:08:14.440 and the definition of a nation?
00:08:17.200 Well, in many cases,
00:08:18.440 these people were on the side
00:08:19.840 of the revolutionaries.
00:08:20.880 They were on the side
00:08:22.180 of destroying these definitions
00:08:24.660 because they were getting in the way
00:08:26.580 of the things that they value,
00:08:28.340 the part of kind of this enlightenment
00:08:30.980 theology, basically,
00:08:33.760 that they were involved in.
00:08:35.680 They had their own special case
00:08:37.540 and they wanted the revolution
00:08:38.700 to completely free them
00:08:40.640 in that particular case.
00:08:42.580 But then they wanted it to stop right after.
00:08:45.100 So whether it's science,
00:08:46.340 whether it's sexuality,
00:08:47.960 whether it's male and female roles,
00:08:49.820 whatever it is,
00:08:51.240 they wanted to deconstruct
00:08:52.600 enough of tradition,
00:08:53.980 deconstruct enough of society
00:08:55.440 until they had picked
00:08:56.620 that thing apart
00:08:58.140 and they could do
00:08:58.740 what they want inside of it.
00:09:00.140 And once that was done,
00:09:01.020 all of a sudden,
00:09:01.580 they want to close the door behind them.
00:09:03.000 They want to say,
00:09:03.520 no, this far and no farther.
00:09:05.900 But of course,
00:09:06.440 that's not how these revolutions work.
00:09:09.740 That's not actually
00:09:10.800 how that happens.
00:09:13.100 Once you take apart
00:09:14.360 these critical building blocks,
00:09:16.340 this foundation
00:09:17.220 for a high civilization,
00:09:20.400 you can't just take
00:09:21.600 all of the things
00:09:22.500 on which things like science
00:09:24.720 are built
00:09:25.540 and then say,
00:09:26.980 oh, but I want science
00:09:27.900 to maintain.
00:09:29.180 I want science to be the same.
00:09:30.740 That's not how this works.
00:09:32.300 The problem
00:09:33.140 for a lot of these guys,
00:09:34.840 and there's a reason
00:09:35.420 that a lot of these guys
00:09:36.220 were scientists,
00:09:36.900 guys like Brett,
00:09:37.960 guys like Dawkins,
00:09:39.440 guys like Harris.
00:09:40.780 There's a reason
00:09:41.520 a lot of these guys
00:09:42.180 are scientists.
00:09:43.720 It's because
00:09:44.660 they,
00:09:46.000 you know,
00:09:47.120 they thought
00:09:47.900 that all of this
00:09:48.740 stuff prior
00:09:50.060 was too ridiculous.
00:09:51.060 All this religious stuff,
00:09:52.380 all this other thing,
00:09:53.360 all this stuff,
00:09:53.760 it was too ridiculous prior.
00:09:55.540 And they thought
00:09:55.980 that science
00:09:56.520 was just this
00:09:57.200 objective truth
00:09:58.200 that stood outside
00:09:59.160 of all these
00:10:00.460 other traditions.
00:10:02.020 Again,
00:10:02.780 religion,
00:10:03.620 the family,
00:10:04.720 the nation,
00:10:05.620 all these things.
00:10:06.400 We don't need
00:10:06.900 any of that stuff.
00:10:07.940 None of that.
00:10:08.240 All that stuff
00:10:08.800 is arbitrary.
00:10:09.920 All that stuff
00:10:10.540 is a bunch
00:10:11.420 of Bronze Age
00:10:12.340 mumbo jumbo,
00:10:13.760 right?
00:10:14.260 And the real truth
00:10:15.400 is science.
00:10:16.100 And once you clear
00:10:17.540 all that stuff
00:10:18.400 that's in the way
00:10:18.940 of science,
00:10:19.540 you'll be able
00:10:20.200 to build
00:10:20.660 a true scientific
00:10:22.420 rational society.
00:10:23.740 And of course,
00:10:24.720 what they discovered
00:10:25.700 very quickly,
00:10:26.760 and some of them
00:10:27.520 have admitted this
00:10:28.160 and some of them
00:10:28.680 haven't,
00:10:29.240 some of them
00:10:29.740 are still holding
00:10:30.460 onto this desperately
00:10:31.360 like Dawkins,
00:10:32.560 is the idea
00:10:33.140 that if you clear
00:10:33.900 out this religious
00:10:35.720 firmament,
00:10:36.940 you don't actually
00:10:38.380 get rid of the
00:10:39.160 religious impulse.
00:10:40.140 It just transfers
00:10:40.880 over.
00:10:41.340 And again,
00:10:41.920 to Brett's credit,
00:10:42.680 I think he would
00:10:43.280 probably recognize
00:10:44.800 that, right?
00:10:45.420 I think he has
00:10:46.300 recognized that
00:10:47.000 repeatedly,
00:10:47.740 that wokeness
00:10:48.520 is the natural
00:10:50.700 emergence of
00:10:51.320 something that's
00:10:51.820 going to come
00:10:52.360 when you no
00:10:53.140 longer have
00:10:54.000 religion.
00:10:54.800 However,
00:10:55.460 they would still
00:10:55.980 probably say
00:10:56.800 that there's
00:10:57.280 nothing wrong
00:10:58.040 with debunking
00:10:58.820 or getting rid
00:10:59.500 of what came
00:11:00.460 before.
00:11:00.880 They certainly
00:11:01.320 wouldn't invest
00:11:02.080 in it,
00:11:02.420 right?
00:11:02.900 Again,
00:11:03.980 this is why
00:11:04.360 you see guys
00:11:04.820 like James
00:11:05.420 Lindsay,
00:11:06.100 right?
00:11:06.420 James Lindsay,
00:11:07.100 a militant,
00:11:07.720 new atheist
00:11:08.240 guy who all
00:11:09.860 of a sudden
00:11:10.300 is telling
00:11:10.740 conservatives
00:11:11.480 and pastors
00:11:12.620 how they should
00:11:14.260 be right-wing
00:11:15.100 or how they
00:11:16.060 should be
00:11:16.460 classically liberal.
00:11:17.640 But I don't
00:11:18.080 have a lot
00:11:18.580 of sympathy
00:11:20.580 for people
00:11:21.740 like this
00:11:22.120 at this point.
00:11:23.140 I'm sorry.
00:11:23.740 I would feel
00:11:24.400 bad for
00:11:24.980 classical liberals
00:11:25.820 who didn't
00:11:27.140 realize what
00:11:27.880 they were doing
00:11:28.440 except I
00:11:28.900 remember that
00:11:29.340 a lot of
00:11:29.560 these people
00:11:29.900 were part
00:11:30.580 of what
00:11:31.600 they deconstructed
00:11:32.800 because the
00:11:33.580 truth is
00:11:34.640 that science
00:11:35.620 is not some
00:11:36.420 objective
00:11:37.340 discipline.
00:11:38.660 I understand
00:11:39.020 that its
00:11:39.380 purpose is
00:11:40.780 to,
00:11:41.380 in theory,
00:11:42.280 go ahead
00:11:42.640 and observe
00:11:43.960 objectively
00:11:45.240 phenomenon
00:11:45.940 and figure
00:11:46.760 out why
00:11:47.180 it happens
00:11:47.780 and all
00:11:48.120 those
00:11:48.280 different
00:11:48.560 things.
00:11:49.420 But the
00:11:49.720 principles
00:11:50.100 that it's
00:11:50.520 based on
00:11:51.280 and the
00:11:52.060 things that
00:11:52.820 it would
00:11:53.100 serve,
00:11:53.740 like a
00:11:54.020 particular
00:11:54.380 society,
00:11:54.980 are central
00:11:55.840 to the
00:11:56.680 actual
00:11:57.060 application
00:11:57.720 of science.
00:11:59.100 Science
00:11:59.480 is not
00:11:59.960 some
00:12:00.380 completely
00:12:01.060 separate
00:12:02.000 thing
00:12:02.460 removed
00:12:03.000 from any
00:12:03.480 given
00:12:03.760 civilization
00:12:04.380 that you
00:12:05.020 can practice
00:12:05.580 universally,
00:12:06.640 actually.
00:12:07.180 That's not
00:12:07.780 really what
00:12:08.400 science is.
00:12:09.660 Science
00:12:10.060 is a
00:12:10.660 particular
00:12:11.440 discipline
00:12:11.940 that is
00:12:12.420 sitting on
00:12:13.160 top
00:12:13.700 of a large
00:12:14.660 number of
00:12:15.260 societal
00:12:15.760 advancements,
00:12:17.160 cultural
00:12:17.660 advancements
00:12:18.600 that are
00:12:19.040 required
00:12:19.740 for you
00:12:20.580 to get
00:12:20.860 to this
00:12:21.180 point.
00:12:22.300 Oswald
00:12:22.640 Spengler
00:12:23.140 made this
00:12:24.140 argument.
00:12:24.700 He predicted
00:12:25.200 in his
00:12:26.500 book,
00:12:27.280 The Decline
00:12:28.320 of the
00:12:28.560 West,
00:12:29.400 that the
00:12:29.940 West would
00:12:30.420 actually walk
00:12:31.080 away from
00:12:31.640 science.
00:12:32.460 Pretty
00:12:32.880 impressive
00:12:33.600 prediction,
00:12:34.340 given that he
00:12:34.880 was writing
00:12:35.220 this in the
00:12:35.660 early 1900s.
00:12:37.180 But he
00:12:37.580 said the
00:12:37.900 West is
00:12:38.260 going to
00:12:38.460 walk away
00:12:38.880 from science,
00:12:39.500 and the
00:12:39.840 reason is
00:12:40.300 really simple.
00:12:41.480 We don't
00:12:41.980 understand what
00:12:42.560 science is.
00:12:43.300 We think that
00:12:43.780 science is this
00:12:44.520 completely
00:12:45.060 culturally
00:12:45.860 neutral and
00:12:46.920 objective
00:12:47.580 reason that
00:12:48.680 is separated
00:12:49.380 from a
00:12:51.400 culture,
00:12:51.820 but actually
00:12:52.240 it's something
00:12:54.740 that is
00:12:55.000 produced by
00:12:55.640 a culture,
00:12:56.220 by a
00:12:56.480 particular way
00:12:57.000 of thinking,
00:12:57.880 a particular
00:12:58.200 way of being,
00:12:59.340 a particular
00:12:59.640 way that a
00:13:00.040 culture carries
00:13:00.620 itself and
00:13:01.100 investigates
00:13:01.720 things and
00:13:02.240 builds its
00:13:02.720 knowledge.
00:13:04.160 And if you
00:13:04.540 remove those
00:13:05.080 things, if
00:13:05.620 the people,
00:13:06.820 the culture
00:13:07.440 that is
00:13:08.240 responsible for
00:13:09.160 the science
00:13:09.840 no longer
00:13:10.700 values it,
00:13:11.560 no longer
00:13:11.940 practices it,
00:13:12.940 walks away
00:13:13.560 from it,
00:13:13.820 somewhere out
00:13:15.100 there, the
00:13:15.480 scientific truths
00:13:16.260 that you
00:13:16.700 discovered are
00:13:17.720 still technically
00:13:19.160 there, but
00:13:20.680 they're of no
00:13:21.260 use because they
00:13:22.060 can't be accessed,
00:13:22.880 they can't be
00:13:23.240 practiced.
00:13:23.720 Again, all you
00:13:24.060 have to do is
00:13:24.460 think about
00:13:24.840 something like
00:13:25.520 the fall of
00:13:26.300 the Roman
00:13:26.620 Empire, where
00:13:27.780 there was a
00:13:28.240 large amount
00:13:28.700 of technological
00:13:29.660 progress and
00:13:30.820 scientific progress
00:13:31.820 that was lost,
00:13:32.740 not because the
00:13:33.880 things that the
00:13:34.580 Romans had
00:13:35.220 discovered or the
00:13:36.280 Greeks had
00:13:36.620 discovered had
00:13:37.560 gone away, all
00:13:38.660 of those things
00:13:39.160 were still true
00:13:40.120 in a very
00:13:41.100 particular sense,
00:13:42.080 but because the
00:13:43.140 culture that
00:13:43.600 would have
00:13:43.880 actually allowed
00:13:44.780 you to
00:13:45.140 investigate those
00:13:46.120 things is
00:13:46.600 gone, the
00:13:47.720 culture that
00:13:49.060 was holding
00:13:49.620 up all of
00:13:50.800 the investigation
00:13:51.840 and perpetuation
00:13:53.280 of that
00:13:53.660 knowledge that
00:13:54.620 allows you to
00:13:55.020 build on top
00:13:55.480 of it, it's
00:13:56.100 all gone, and
00:13:57.220 if you rip all
00:13:57.780 those things out
00:13:58.400 from under the
00:13:58.980 science, then
00:13:59.560 yeah, technically
00:14:00.260 somewhere it
00:14:00.920 might be written
00:14:01.420 down in a book
00:14:02.160 or a scroll or
00:14:02.960 something, but
00:14:03.980 if you don't
00:14:04.220 have anyone who
00:14:04.720 can understand
00:14:05.280 it, anyone who
00:14:05.860 can apply it,
00:14:06.640 anyone who can
00:14:07.260 use it, well
00:14:08.380 then you end up
00:14:08.880 in the Warhammer
00:14:09.440 40k universe
00:14:10.380 or the Dune
00:14:11.080 universe or
00:14:11.680 something like
00:14:12.100 that, where
00:14:12.440 there's this
00:14:13.120 archaic knowledge
00:14:14.320 that you once
00:14:14.920 understood, but
00:14:17.240 only a few
00:14:18.320 people or almost
00:14:19.020 no one can use
00:14:19.780 it, it takes
00:14:20.640 on an almost
00:14:21.080 religious way
00:14:23.900 of being, and
00:14:24.920 my real problem
00:14:26.100 again with a lot
00:14:27.980 of these guys
00:14:28.880 is that they
00:14:30.220 were mocking
00:14:31.060 all of the
00:14:32.040 stuff that
00:14:32.440 undergirded the
00:14:34.760 science that they
00:14:35.740 loved so much,
00:14:37.220 that they were
00:14:37.680 so devoted to,
00:14:39.440 they were
00:14:39.840 mocking that
00:14:40.340 the entire
00:14:40.920 time while
00:14:41.660 they were
00:14:42.360 gleefully ripping
00:14:43.480 it apart, and
00:14:44.620 then all of a
00:14:45.100 sudden they're
00:14:45.360 like, oh man, I
00:14:46.460 can't believe this
00:14:47.320 is happening, and
00:14:48.300 the best part is
00:14:49.260 they're like, oh
00:14:49.740 no one could have
00:14:50.420 seen this coming,
00:14:51.640 but of course the
00:14:52.260 answer is, yes
00:14:53.180 people saw it
00:14:53.860 coming, particularly
00:14:55.040 religious people
00:14:56.100 saw it coming.
00:14:58.100 Specifically, these
00:14:59.600 people were warned
00:15:00.380 about what would
00:15:01.140 happen when you
00:15:01.880 destroyed the
00:15:03.180 definition of
00:15:03.960 marriage.
00:15:04.800 Sorry, but the
00:15:05.580 slippery slope is
00:15:06.900 the undefeated
00:15:07.740 champion.
00:15:08.200 slippery slope is
00:15:10.320 incredibly real, and
00:15:12.560 when you get rid of
00:15:13.220 one standard, when
00:15:14.600 you get rid of one
00:15:15.700 critical axiom on
00:15:17.480 which society is
00:15:19.300 based, then the
00:15:21.200 next one will
00:15:21.780 dissolve, and the
00:15:22.480 next one will
00:15:23.060 dissolve, and the
00:15:23.740 next one will
00:15:24.300 dissolve, because
00:15:24.800 there's no end to
00:15:26.240 the logic you
00:15:27.040 unleash.
00:15:27.580 There's no end to
00:15:28.800 the deconstruction
00:15:29.780 you have unleashed
00:15:30.820 upon these
00:15:31.500 foundational principles.
00:15:32.840 principles, and so
00:15:34.140 sorry, you can't
00:15:35.120 just rip up things
00:15:37.320 like religion.
00:15:38.700 You can't just rip
00:15:39.380 up what the family
00:15:40.660 is.
00:15:41.060 You can't just rip
00:15:41.520 up what marriage
00:15:42.320 is, and then
00:15:43.520 pretend that you're
00:15:44.280 shocked when the
00:15:46.620 inevitable fruit of
00:15:48.020 your deconstruction
00:15:48.880 comes around.
00:15:49.580 But of course they
00:15:50.040 are shocked, because
00:15:51.140 they never believe
00:15:52.020 this.
00:15:52.260 They never listen to
00:15:52.800 these people.
00:15:53.580 They made fun of
00:15:54.440 these people.
00:15:54.880 They mocked the
00:15:55.600 religious right, and
00:15:56.440 people liked them
00:15:57.220 because they correctly
00:15:58.280 predicted the future,
00:15:59.380 and they're still
00:16:00.500 doing it, even to
00:16:01.400 this day.
00:16:02.760 Bill Maher has no
00:16:03.480 apology for these
00:16:04.420 people.
00:16:04.720 James Lindsay has no
00:16:05.520 apology for these
00:16:06.380 people, even when
00:16:07.260 they start making
00:16:08.140 livings off these
00:16:09.060 people.
00:16:09.440 There's a whole
00:16:09.960 cottage industry of
00:16:12.240 basically former
00:16:13.980 new atheists who are
00:16:14.900 still new atheists, but
00:16:16.420 they go around telling
00:16:17.260 conservatives what's
00:16:18.500 wrong with woke
00:16:19.780 progressivism, while
00:16:21.220 not taking any
00:16:22.080 ownership over the
00:16:23.300 fact that they
00:16:24.540 helped to
00:16:25.000 deconstruct all of
00:16:26.140 the barriers that
00:16:27.760 would lead us to
00:16:28.480 exactly this
00:16:29.360 point, and this
00:16:30.460 is why you end
00:16:31.980 up with a whole
00:16:32.980 lot of junk about
00:16:33.860 this being
00:16:34.340 Marxism, and
00:16:35.260 don't get me
00:16:35.640 wrong.
00:16:36.260 Yes, of course
00:16:36.820 it's Marxism.
00:16:37.780 Like, obviously, a
00:16:38.840 number of the
00:16:39.380 people involved
00:16:40.000 here specifically
00:16:41.040 cite Marxist
00:16:41.900 principles or
00:16:42.680 strategies or
00:16:43.480 those kind of
00:16:43.940 things that they're
00:16:44.880 involved in, but
00:16:45.800 what they don't
00:16:46.220 understand is that
00:16:47.120 the very liberalism,
00:16:49.300 the aggressive
00:16:49.920 secular liberalism
00:16:51.580 that they involved
00:16:52.900 themselves in paved
00:16:54.280 the way for all
00:16:55.200 of this.
00:16:56.000 It was critical that
00:16:57.520 the deconstruction
00:16:58.220 they did,
00:16:59.360 allowed for what
00:17:00.500 is now kind of
00:17:01.440 the gay race
00:17:02.080 communism we see
00:17:03.420 in the United
00:17:04.720 States.
00:17:05.920 Woke could not
00:17:06.600 have existed
00:17:07.200 without you guys.
00:17:08.720 The new atheists
00:17:09.540 are not the
00:17:10.820 opponents of
00:17:11.740 wokeness.
00:17:13.000 They're the
00:17:13.720 forefathers of
00:17:14.660 wokeness.
00:17:15.740 They're the
00:17:16.380 critical link in
00:17:18.060 the line of
00:17:18.560 descent to get
00:17:19.460 us to wokeness.
00:17:20.920 But of course,
00:17:21.780 they can't own
00:17:22.580 any of this because
00:17:23.520 that would give
00:17:23.960 away the game.
00:17:25.020 They want to
00:17:25.700 pretend like we
00:17:26.200 can just reset
00:17:26.880 things back to the
00:17:27.580 1990s.
00:17:28.220 But the 1990s
00:17:28.980 was when they
00:17:29.480 were tearing
00:17:30.240 all the stuff
00:17:30.720 apart.
00:17:31.220 And in fact,
00:17:32.000 by then,
00:17:32.460 they had already
00:17:33.020 torn all this
00:17:33.840 apart.
00:17:34.440 And they were
00:17:35.120 worried about all
00:17:35.980 of these consequences,
00:17:37.360 but they pretend
00:17:37.940 that they don't.
00:17:39.100 It's like having
00:17:39.920 someone tell you,
00:17:40.720 look, you have
00:17:42.080 cancer, man.
00:17:42.700 And they're like,
00:17:43.080 look, I don't need
00:17:43.640 your religious mumbo
00:17:44.700 jumbo.
00:17:45.020 I don't believe in
00:17:45.900 cancer.
00:17:46.360 And like, no,
00:17:47.140 this is a serious
00:17:47.960 disease and it's
00:17:48.780 going to kill you.
00:17:49.420 It's something you
00:17:50.000 should really take
00:17:50.620 care of.
00:17:51.120 Look, man, I
00:17:51.580 don't need your
00:17:52.060 Bronze Age myths
00:17:54.460 about disease.
00:17:55.780 I don't need
00:17:56.240 some idea.
00:17:57.160 I refuse to do
00:17:57.960 this.
00:17:58.220 And then all of a
00:17:59.560 sudden they realize
00:17:59.880 that they're having
00:18:00.860 a hard time
00:18:01.580 breathing and their
00:18:02.560 throat is swelling
00:18:03.300 up and there's
00:18:03.960 tumors there.
00:18:04.560 And like, oh,
00:18:05.180 hey, guys, did you
00:18:05.780 know that cancer
00:18:06.400 might be a real
00:18:07.100 problem?
00:18:07.560 Like, yeah, yeah,
00:18:08.540 we did know.
00:18:09.380 We warned you
00:18:10.540 over and over
00:18:11.780 again.
00:18:12.180 But because you
00:18:13.180 were so committed
00:18:14.200 to your idea that
00:18:16.460 you were more
00:18:17.480 socially elevated,
00:18:19.220 that you were the
00:18:20.860 cutting edge, that
00:18:22.060 you were the wisest
00:18:22.940 people to ever
00:18:23.720 live.
00:18:24.460 That you were so
00:18:25.280 much smarter than
00:18:26.980 some Southern
00:18:27.640 Baptist grandma in
00:18:29.100 Georgia.
00:18:29.880 And that was your
00:18:30.580 entire identity.
00:18:31.520 You wrapped your
00:18:32.160 entire cosmopolitan
00:18:34.160 atheist identity
00:18:35.220 around ripping these
00:18:37.860 people apart and
00:18:38.660 making fun of them.
00:18:40.160 Right?
00:18:41.800 They were right.
00:18:43.060 And you were wrong.
00:18:45.600 They were right and
00:18:46.620 you were wrong.
00:18:47.460 And now you can't
00:18:48.560 admit it because that
00:18:49.260 would show that all
00:18:50.540 of your degrees and
00:18:51.640 all of your rationality
00:18:53.000 didn't help you when
00:18:54.260 the most important
00:18:55.080 challenge facing your
00:18:56.740 civilization came
00:18:58.080 around.
00:18:58.520 Actually, it turns
00:18:59.380 out that tradition
00:19:00.680 and religion and
00:19:02.360 family and community
00:19:03.980 are more powerful
00:19:05.520 than your degree in
00:19:08.320 mathematics or
00:19:09.500 biology or whatever.
00:19:11.080 And it's not that
00:19:11.640 those things aren't
00:19:12.260 important.
00:19:13.000 It's obviously
00:19:13.860 important that we
00:19:14.600 have doctors.
00:19:15.260 It's obviously
00:19:15.680 important that we
00:19:16.300 have biologists.
00:19:17.080 It's obviously
00:19:17.700 important that we
00:19:18.320 have mathematicians.
00:19:19.200 But maybe that's
00:19:20.340 not the sum of
00:19:21.040 human knowledge.
00:19:22.500 Maybe treating
00:19:23.020 that as the only
00:19:23.880 form of epistemology
00:19:25.280 is bad practice.
00:19:27.340 And the best thing
00:19:28.140 is these people still
00:19:29.600 often cannot escape
00:19:31.220 this.
00:19:32.160 They recognize the
00:19:33.360 problem in many
00:19:35.740 cases.
00:19:36.180 Again, guys like
00:19:36.920 Brett recognize the
00:19:37.780 problem, obviously.
00:19:39.540 But they still have a
00:19:40.620 hard time embracing
00:19:41.540 what is clearly
00:19:43.080 true.
00:19:43.500 And it's that
00:19:45.260 their ability to
00:19:46.860 investigate reality
00:19:47.900 is actually
00:19:48.740 hindered by their
00:19:50.620 complete devotion to
00:19:51.860 rationality and
00:19:52.620 science.
00:19:53.280 That is a problem
00:19:54.660 for them, not a
00:19:55.800 solution.
00:19:56.780 The problems that we
00:19:57.760 face are ones that
00:19:58.980 are not solved by
00:20:00.640 the tools that they
00:20:01.480 have invested
00:20:02.060 themselves in.
00:20:03.140 And yet, they
00:20:04.160 still pretend that
00:20:06.020 this is not an
00:20:06.740 issue, right?
00:20:07.280 They still pretend
00:20:08.080 that this is not a
00:20:09.540 problem.
00:20:10.140 And this is my
00:20:10.800 biggest issue.
00:20:11.380 Because look, there
00:20:12.240 are guys who I
00:20:13.380 respect, who have
00:20:15.340 this.
00:20:15.700 So, for instance,
00:20:16.860 Carl Benjamin,
00:20:18.940 Sargon of Akkad of
00:20:19.800 the Lotus
00:20:20.240 Seaters, right?
00:20:21.180 Carl is somebody
00:20:22.040 who recognizes he
00:20:24.460 was wrong.
00:20:25.600 He admits that he
00:20:26.680 was wrong.
00:20:27.080 Now, it took him a
00:20:27.660 long time.
00:20:28.180 Some people got
00:20:28.700 frustrated on the
00:20:30.220 way.
00:20:31.240 But Carl has said,
00:20:32.160 look, you know, he
00:20:32.980 says, I'm personally
00:20:33.680 still an atheist,
00:20:34.780 though.
00:20:35.020 I feel like, you
00:20:35.980 know, God's going to
00:20:36.600 fix that eventually.
00:20:37.580 But Carl says, look,
00:20:38.540 I'm still personally
00:20:39.240 an atheist, but I
00:20:40.480 recognize the central
00:20:41.980 role of religion.
00:20:43.380 I understand the
00:20:44.140 central roles of
00:20:45.040 tradition.
00:20:46.060 I understand that
00:20:46.840 liberalism is a
00:20:47.700 failure and that
00:20:48.980 liberalism was doomed
00:20:51.240 to fail due to these
00:20:52.340 internal inconsistencies.
00:20:54.660 And I defended these
00:20:56.260 things and I espoused
00:20:57.520 these things, and I
00:21:00.400 was wrong.
00:21:01.840 That's what you want
00:21:02.760 to hear.
00:21:03.800 That's credibility.
00:21:05.040 That's intellectual
00:21:05.840 credibility.
00:21:06.840 And more importantly,
00:21:08.060 honor.
00:21:09.160 Far more important than
00:21:10.280 intellectual credibility.
00:21:11.800 That is virtue.
00:21:13.360 That is honor.
00:21:14.160 That's a level of
00:21:15.040 humility that shows
00:21:16.880 what kind of person
00:21:18.460 you are.
00:21:19.700 And the fact that he's
00:21:20.320 willing to acknowledge
00:21:21.140 that has gotten him in
00:21:21.900 trouble with people like
00:21:22.640 James Lindsay, who make
00:21:25.660 a cottage industry off of
00:21:27.560 the same people they used
00:21:28.480 to make fun of, but have
00:21:29.880 never said, I'm sorry.
00:21:31.520 Carl has said he's
00:21:32.260 sorry.
00:21:32.560 Carl said he was wrong.
00:21:33.520 But you're never going to
00:21:36.120 see that from Richard
00:21:36.680 Dawkins.
00:21:37.720 You're never going to see
00:21:38.340 that from Harris.
00:21:39.240 In fact, obviously, Sam
00:21:40.200 Harris has turned around
00:21:41.520 the other direction.
00:21:42.440 Now he's just completely
00:21:43.660 back in the progressive
00:21:44.680 world because there was
00:21:46.620 no way he was going to
00:21:47.400 survive it.
00:21:47.980 He was only on the edge.
00:21:50.460 He was only on the outs
00:21:51.420 because he pointed out
00:21:52.840 that Islam wasn't great
00:21:54.200 for a moment.
00:21:55.880 And now he's back in the
00:21:57.080 fold because he hates
00:21:58.100 Trump.
00:21:58.400 He hates Trump enough.
00:21:59.480 And that's all that
00:22:00.040 really matters.
00:22:00.580 And so I think it's
00:22:04.320 critical to realize that
00:22:05.520 there are people who do
00:22:08.020 change this, even if they
00:22:09.560 are still atheists, even
00:22:11.120 if they are still people
00:22:12.180 who have a hard time
00:22:13.060 personally connecting with
00:22:15.140 the tradition.
00:22:15.840 But the key thing you're
00:22:16.900 looking for is that
00:22:17.640 repentance.
00:22:18.520 The key thing you're
00:22:19.420 looking for is that
00:22:20.060 willingness to say I was
00:22:21.220 wrong, because if you
00:22:22.300 don't have that, then the
00:22:24.260 people you're talking
00:22:25.060 about, the unrepentant
00:22:26.880 liberals, the classical
00:22:27.960 liberals or progressives that
00:22:29.500 you're talking about, they're
00:22:30.560 not saying they're wrong.
00:22:31.860 They're just saying I was
00:22:33.080 betrayed, right?
00:22:34.060 I didn't leave the left, the
00:22:35.420 left left me.
00:22:36.460 Oh, that means you're still
00:22:37.140 a leftist then.
00:22:38.420 And that means you still
00:22:39.180 think that conservatives are
00:22:40.280 wrong.
00:22:40.800 You still think the right is
00:22:41.680 incorrect and you still
00:22:43.120 don't share the value
00:22:44.160 system of these people.
00:22:46.720 Carl is much closer to
00:22:48.000 sharing the value system
00:22:49.040 that I have.
00:22:51.440 Then any of these other
00:22:52.860 people, because he's made a
00:22:54.100 journey not just of the
00:22:55.440 mind, though that was
00:22:56.360 critical, but also of the
00:22:58.760 soul.
00:22:58.980 And the people like
00:23:01.000 Dawkins, Lindsay, these
00:23:03.040 other guys, Harris, they
00:23:04.840 have not done that.
00:23:06.040 They have not really looked
00:23:07.540 at why was I wrong?
00:23:09.640 Why were my values
00:23:10.800 fundamentally incorrect?
00:23:12.340 How did I let this
00:23:14.040 happen?
00:23:14.860 How am I responsible for
00:23:16.780 the monster that's been
00:23:18.140 created?
00:23:19.080 Because they don't think
00:23:20.080 they're responsible for the
00:23:21.460 monster they've created.
00:23:22.680 They think that that is
00:23:23.860 something radical, something
00:23:25.060 outside.
00:23:25.560 Religion took over my
00:23:26.860 science.
00:23:27.520 No, no, it didn't.
00:23:29.380 I mean, yeah, in a way, I
00:23:30.580 guess, but it was always
00:23:31.960 going to come because you
00:23:32.700 didn't understand what your
00:23:33.620 science was based on.
00:23:34.820 You didn't understand what
00:23:35.680 your rational principles were
00:23:36.800 based on.
00:23:37.700 You didn't understand what
00:23:39.680 the high civilization that
00:23:42.200 you were relying on was
00:23:44.380 founded in.
00:23:45.500 And because you didn't
00:23:46.160 understand that stuff, you
00:23:47.800 took a sledgehammer and all
00:23:48.860 of it just so you thought you
00:23:49.980 could clear out the niches you
00:23:51.440 wanted for yourself.
00:23:53.220 And then once you did and
00:23:54.580 everything started to fall
00:23:55.520 apart, you said, oh, how
00:23:57.440 could anyone have seen this
00:23:58.360 coming?
00:23:59.300 But again, of course, people
00:24:00.620 saw it coming.
00:24:02.000 And this is really hard for
00:24:03.240 people because you don't
00:24:05.020 just have to say you're
00:24:05.800 wrong.
00:24:06.820 You don't just have to say
00:24:07.900 you're wrong with this.
00:24:09.080 You also have to realize
00:24:10.100 something else.
00:24:10.700 And again, I think Carl has
00:24:11.760 realized this is that, you
00:24:14.200 know, Brett was saying we're
00:24:15.460 at the point we're approaching
00:24:16.680 the point of no return.
00:24:18.460 And the answer is, oh,
00:24:19.840 nobody.
00:24:20.280 The point of no return was
00:24:22.140 decades ago.
00:24:23.520 The point of no return is way
00:24:25.340 behind you.
00:24:26.660 You blew right past it.
00:24:28.580 All the easy decisions, all
00:24:31.020 the off ramps, they're behind
00:24:33.300 us now.
00:24:35.040 You laughed at them.
00:24:36.560 You laughed at the people who
00:24:37.640 warned you about them because
00:24:38.640 the people who warned you
00:24:39.480 about them had southern
00:24:40.620 accents and Bibles on their
00:24:42.500 shelves and grandma crocheted
00:24:44.360 something that sits on top of
00:24:45.320 their TV.
00:24:46.320 You're from the south.
00:24:47.080 You know exactly what I'm
00:24:47.780 talking.
00:24:47.980 We hope you're enjoying
00:24:49.360 your Air Canada flight.
00:24:50.660 Rocky's vacation, here we
00:24:52.400 come.
00:24:53.420 Whoa, is this economy?
00:24:55.520 Free beer, wine, and snacks.
00:24:57.980 Sweet.
00:24:59.080 Fast free Wi-Fi means I can
00:25:00.580 make dinner reservations
00:25:01.480 before we land.
00:25:03.140 And with live TV, I'm not
00:25:04.860 missing the game.
00:25:06.160 It's kind of like I'm already
00:25:07.800 on vacation.
00:25:09.340 Nice.
00:25:10.620 On behalf of Air Canada,
00:25:12.140 nice travels.
00:25:13.620 Wi-Fi available to Air
00:25:14.600 Plan members on EquipFlight.

00:25:16.280 All conditions apply.
00:25:17.080 See your Canada dot com.
00:25:19.780 That's what you're laughing
00:25:20.680 about.
00:25:21.160 You had your day and you
00:25:24.080 thought it was hilarious and
00:25:25.660 you thought that you were the
00:25:26.680 rebel and now you get to pay
00:25:28.560 the piper.
00:25:30.160 Sorry.
00:25:30.960 The point of no return isn't in
00:25:32.520 front of us.
00:25:33.440 It's way behind us.
00:25:35.300 And that's a scary thing to
00:25:36.660 admit.
00:25:36.940 That's scary for any for even
00:25:38.960 many conservatives to admit
00:25:40.220 because a lot of us have been
00:25:41.860 warning for a long time.
00:25:43.080 Hey, man, point of no return's
00:25:44.960 coming.
00:25:45.400 It's coming with the
00:25:46.180 redefinition of marriage or
00:25:47.320 it's coming with the
00:25:47.900 redefinition of whatever.
00:25:50.020 And then we blow past it and
00:25:51.500 we're like, oh, no, there's
00:25:52.220 another one.
00:25:52.880 There's another point of no
00:25:53.720 return.
00:25:54.060 No, let's be honest.
00:25:55.460 We already went past it.
00:25:56.940 OK, that's a terrible
00:25:58.520 fine thing to say, because if
00:26:00.440 you really meant it, if you
00:26:01.580 really meant that that was a
00:26:02.880 point of no return, then you
00:26:04.540 have to own the consequences.
00:26:06.780 You have to own the reality of
00:26:08.640 the situation you're in, which
00:26:10.420 is we're not going back.
00:26:12.660 The only way out is through.
00:26:15.340 The only way it is through
00:26:16.560 this and through this is hard
00:26:18.540 through.
00:26:19.220 This is really difficult
00:26:20.320 through.
00:26:21.080 This means a complete renewal
00:26:24.260 of what's going on, a complete
00:26:26.440 collapse and rebirth of what's
00:26:28.760 going on.
00:26:29.400 And that's really painful and
00:26:31.740 really scary.
00:26:32.700 And most of us don't even know
00:26:34.040 what that looks like.
00:26:35.040 I certainly don't know
00:26:35.840 everything that looks like.
00:26:36.820 I've got some ideas, but I
00:26:38.600 certainly don't.
00:26:39.320 I certainly don't understand
00:26:40.240 it all.
00:26:40.980 But that's very hard for people
00:26:42.840 who are classical liberals to
00:26:44.460 say, because they're
00:26:46.840 completely bought into the
00:26:48.540 idea that they just figured
00:26:49.740 this out.
00:26:50.400 Right.
00:26:51.000 Yeah.
00:26:51.240 They were warned for like 20,
00:26:53.060 30 years by these crazy
00:26:54.360 Christian people, but they've
00:26:56.080 figured it out now that
00:26:57.280 there's a problem and they
00:26:58.720 can turn it around.
00:26:59.580 They showed up five minutes
00:27:00.640 ago.
00:27:00.920 They just washed up on the
00:27:02.360 beach of conservatism and
00:27:04.420 say, oh, oh, that was not
00:27:06.360 good.
00:27:06.900 We should we should probably
00:27:07.920 do something about this.
00:27:09.020 And they're trying all the
00:27:10.480 old answers, man.
00:27:11.840 All the old answers.
00:27:13.760 All the things that
00:27:14.740 Republicans have tried over
00:27:15.840 and over again, that
00:27:16.900 conservatives have tried over
00:27:18.080 and over again, that
00:27:19.100 right wingers have tried over
00:27:20.080 and over again.
00:27:20.860 All these, you know, all
00:27:21.820 these classical liberals, all
00:27:23.320 these, you know, disillusioned
00:27:24.620 progressives, they're showing
00:27:25.740 up and they're saying, oh,
00:27:26.500 let's try all this stuff that
00:27:27.640 you've already done and been
00:27:28.640 trying to do for decades.
00:27:30.220 And it's like, look, man, the
00:27:31.340 time where that worked, if it
00:27:32.440 ever would have worked, was
00:27:33.820 was in the past when we
00:27:35.820 suggested it.
00:27:36.940 You've blown past it.
00:27:38.340 And now it's too late.
00:27:41.340 And the only thing that can
00:27:42.720 really fix this is or at
00:27:45.360 least the start of it.
00:27:46.280 This isn't fix it at all, but
00:27:47.600 at least it's a start.
00:27:48.540 It's the first thing you need
00:27:49.440 to do to even start to have
00:27:50.760 this discussion is the
00:27:52.700 admission of the fact that
00:27:55.140 you were wrong.
00:27:57.820 And not only were you not
00:27:58.920 were wrong, but you were
00:28:00.000 wrong in an incredibly
00:28:01.060 destructive way.
00:28:02.120 the blue part, a lot of
00:28:04.000 things that you now
00:28:05.580 lament losing.
00:28:07.260 And even though you didn't
00:28:08.260 understand they were
00:28:08.920 connected then, they're
00:28:09.820 still connected now.
00:28:11.120 And you can't just sit
00:28:12.220 around and say, oh, well,
00:28:13.340 I'd like to restore that
00:28:14.360 part of society where
00:28:15.640 things feel objective and
00:28:17.320 neutral, which they never
00:28:18.200 were.
00:28:18.780 But I don't want to restore
00:28:19.940 any of the Christianity that
00:28:21.180 created the shared value in
00:28:23.000 common frame that made
00:28:23.960 neutrality feel real.
00:28:25.900 Oh, yeah, I like the
00:28:27.200 science.
00:28:27.660 I like that.
00:28:28.260 I like the highly
00:28:29.560 disciplined, high trust
00:28:30.620 society that yields people
00:28:32.100 who can investigate
00:28:32.960 questions of truth in
00:28:35.100 advanced scientific realms.
00:28:37.200 But I don't want to think
00:28:38.220 about the limitations of the
00:28:39.960 family or the nation that
00:28:41.420 are required to create an
00:28:42.900 environment that can
00:28:44.160 produce those kind of
00:28:45.020 things.
00:28:45.720 So I'm still going to
00:28:46.580 pretend like that stuff is
00:28:47.720 backward and ridiculous
00:28:49.040 and too traditional for my
00:28:50.740 taste.
00:28:51.360 Well, guess what?
00:28:52.080 That stuff all is all
00:28:53.240 connected.
00:28:53.740 It was all connected when we
00:28:54.740 told you it was.
00:28:55.420 It's still all connected
00:28:56.560 now, except you already
00:28:58.060 blew all that stuff up.
00:28:59.060 So you can't even remember
00:29:00.060 what it used to be
00:29:01.600 connected to.
00:29:02.580 You don't even know what
00:29:03.860 to put science on top of
00:29:05.220 at this point because you
00:29:06.280 blew up everything that it
00:29:07.180 would have sat on
00:29:07.840 previously.
00:29:09.400 Can't even imagine a
00:29:10.560 world where the things
00:29:12.020 that used to hold your
00:29:13.620 functional society up still
00:29:15.020 exist.
00:29:16.140 I mean, seriously, ask any
00:29:17.200 of these people, ask any
00:29:18.620 of these IDW folks about
00:29:20.020 going back to a
00:29:21.220 traditional definition.
00:29:23.000 They can't imagine it.
00:29:24.120 You can't imagine a world
00:29:25.520 where that happens, right?
00:29:27.220 Because they were fine
00:29:28.840 with the demolition of
00:29:30.420 society prior to this
00:29:31.800 point.
00:29:33.080 And they can't even, they
00:29:34.500 still to this day, even
00:29:35.540 watching all of society
00:29:36.800 crumble around them, they
00:29:38.200 can't admit for a moment
00:29:39.140 that these things are
00:29:39.820 connected, that these
00:29:40.940 things are critically
00:29:41.920 connected.
00:29:42.820 They start yelling, oh,
00:29:43.960 you're a Christian, you
00:29:44.600 must be some kind of
00:29:45.280 Christian nationalist if you
00:29:46.460 want to have a functional
00:29:47.920 society.
00:29:49.380 And they're right, of
00:29:50.300 course, because you
00:29:51.800 actually need a Christian
00:29:52.700 nation if you want things
00:29:53.800 to function.
00:29:54.960 They don't realize it, but
00:29:56.460 in a way, yes, that's
00:29:58.040 true.
00:29:58.920 But, you know, they can't
00:30:00.380 admit any of that, because
00:30:01.260 if they admitted any of
00:30:02.360 that to themselves or to
00:30:03.580 anyone else, they would
00:30:05.080 have to own that kind of
00:30:07.000 stuff.
00:30:07.340 They'd have to own their
00:30:09.120 monster.
00:30:09.820 And they're not going to
00:30:10.420 do that.
00:30:10.820 They're just going to run
00:30:11.520 around until the monster is
00:30:12.740 eaten and destroyed
00:30:13.380 everything.
00:30:14.620 They're going to run
00:30:15.340 around saying, I don't
00:30:17.140 know.
00:30:17.840 I don't know how this
00:30:18.780 happened.
00:30:19.640 How could we have gotten
00:30:20.480 here?
00:30:20.760 Nobody could have
00:30:21.500 predicted this, even
00:30:23.660 though they were warned
00:30:24.900 at every step exactly
00:30:27.920 what was coming.
00:30:29.300 They're going to pretend
00:30:30.240 they have no ownership,
00:30:31.740 no agency, because that's
00:30:33.960 a lot easier.
00:30:35.300 It's a whole lot easier
00:30:36.360 than admitting the truth,
00:30:38.160 which is they created the
00:30:39.800 world they're in now.
00:30:42.060 And going back is not an
00:30:44.480 option because they ignored
00:30:45.740 all the people who are
00:30:47.140 explaining what they needed
00:30:49.100 to do back when that was an
00:30:50.280 option.
00:30:51.280 And now the only thing
00:30:52.440 they can do is embrace the
00:30:54.180 fact that these people
00:30:55.460 were right, that actually
00:30:57.460 that little old grandma in
00:30:59.220 the 1980s going to the
00:31:00.540 Southern Baptist Church from
00:31:02.200 her double wide in Alabama
00:31:03.360 knew more about civilization
00:31:05.720 than you did.
00:31:08.020 And there's just no way
00:31:09.880 they're ever going to admit
00:31:10.540 that.
00:31:11.160 So they're just going to run
00:31:11.900 around saying, who unleashed
00:31:13.100 this monster?
00:31:14.100 And the answer was you.
00:31:15.660 It was you the whole time.
00:31:17.780 All right, guys, want to go
00:31:18.840 ahead and touch on a couple
00:31:20.380 other things.
00:31:21.440 So Donald Trump posted
00:31:23.880 on Truth Social.
00:31:25.940 It's a very long post with a
00:31:27.540 lot of caps because it's
00:31:29.380 Donald Trump on Truth Social.
00:31:31.880 Too much.
00:31:33.020 Donald, you need to come
00:31:33.900 back to Twitter.
00:31:34.800 You need the character.
00:31:36.080 I know technically there's no
00:31:37.180 character limit on Twitter
00:31:38.100 anymore, but you need to
00:31:39.760 come back.
00:31:40.300 You need that kind of
00:31:41.080 discipline.
00:31:41.740 We need you on the real
00:31:43.820 platform, Donald, in the
00:31:45.340 place where you thrived
00:31:46.180 previously.
00:31:46.780 But Donald Trump got on
00:31:48.760 Truth Social and he said,
00:31:50.260 oh, you know, Bud Light,
00:31:52.000 they screwed up big time.
00:31:53.180 They made a big mistake, but
00:31:54.800 they're not a woke company,
00:31:55.960 really.
00:31:56.560 They're not really a woke
00:31:57.620 company.
00:31:58.060 And they're really they do
00:32:00.300 love America and they do love
00:32:01.740 Red America.
00:32:02.520 And we should probably go ahead
00:32:03.320 and forgive them now.
00:32:04.220 They've they've made a big
00:32:05.540 mistake, but, you know,
00:32:06.740 they've come around and
00:32:08.840 they're supporting, you know,
00:32:10.240 people who we like now.
00:32:12.020 And it's it's time to let
00:32:13.880 Bud Light out of the box.
00:32:14.980 And a couple of things.
00:32:19.700 Look, there's a lot of
00:32:20.980 people I respect involved in
00:32:22.260 this, you know, but when you
00:32:24.580 have Kid Brock and Dana
00:32:26.480 White show up on Tucker Carlson
00:32:28.300 back to back and say, we
00:32:29.280 got to we got to let Bud
00:32:30.980 Light out of the box.
00:32:32.000 We got it.
00:32:32.320 We got to start drinking Bud
00:32:33.660 Light again.
00:32:34.220 You know, Dana White.
00:32:34.780 We got to buy it by the by the
00:32:36.340 gallon.
00:32:37.520 And and then, you know,
00:32:39.020 Donald Trump coming in.
00:32:40.400 This is not subtle.
00:32:41.600 OK.
00:32:41.940 Well, I'll just leave that
00:32:44.560 there.
00:32:44.820 This is not subtle.
00:32:47.040 And the idea that Bud
00:32:49.800 Light has done enough or
00:32:51.360 that Bud Light has learned
00:32:52.620 its lesson is insane.
00:32:54.540 It's absolutely insane.
00:32:57.480 So when this all went down,
00:33:00.060 when this original thing
00:33:01.780 went down, I explained that
00:33:03.280 there were four key ways you
00:33:05.580 would know that Bud Light
00:33:07.940 had been defeated and
00:33:10.240 defeat is the key.
00:33:12.720 We would be clear.
00:33:13.540 You want Bud Light to bend
00:33:14.680 the knee publicly.
00:33:17.320 That's it.
00:33:18.920 That's what you want.
00:33:21.220 You would.
00:33:21.560 There are four ways to know
00:33:22.520 victory had been achieved.
00:33:24.260 Now, Bud Light hadn't even
00:33:25.220 bothered to issue an apology
00:33:26.460 to this day.
00:33:27.300 Bud Light has never issued
00:33:28.240 an apology.
00:33:29.100 And to be clear, the apology
00:33:30.340 is not the critical part.
00:33:32.160 The apology is the most
00:33:34.020 basic thing.
00:33:35.080 It's step zero.
00:33:36.560 It's not even step one.
00:33:38.080 It's step zero.
00:33:38.940 The apology means nothing
00:33:40.500 because it's no real action.
00:33:42.760 But if a company will not
00:33:44.380 even issue you an apology
00:33:45.860 for the fact that they
00:33:48.100 started to run a trans
00:33:50.020 influence campaign after
00:33:51.740 six people, three children
00:33:54.580 were killed in a Christian
00:33:55.880 school by a trans shooter
00:33:58.200 and they made no apology
00:34:00.720 about that fact and still
00:34:02.640 have not acknowledged it
00:34:04.460 at all to this day,
00:34:06.020 that means they haven't
00:34:07.480 even cleared the most
00:34:08.880 basic of non of
00:34:11.120 of non-existent bars.
00:34:13.180 The ones that don't even
00:34:14.300 mean anything and don't
00:34:15.160 even have significance.
00:34:16.180 They still have not done
00:34:17.060 that.
00:34:17.820 But like I said, that was
00:34:18.920 even that wasn't even
00:34:20.240 one of my four conditions
00:34:21.800 for victory.
00:34:22.840 My conditions for victory
00:34:24.220 were enemies fired,
00:34:26.660 friends hired,
00:34:27.800 money to your patronage
00:34:28.840 network.
00:34:29.260 And HR tells these people
00:34:31.320 to never screw with you
00:34:32.660 again.
00:34:33.020 They're so scared of what
00:34:34.540 happened that they never
00:34:36.160 want you.
00:34:37.840 They never want to cross
00:34:39.020 you again.
00:34:39.460 And they make sure that
00:34:40.440 their employees don't do
00:34:41.940 that.
00:34:42.420 They preach your message in
00:34:44.000 HR.
00:34:44.960 Now, number one kind of
00:34:46.240 happened.
00:34:46.900 There were people connected
00:34:48.280 to this publicity campaign
00:34:50.740 that were fired.
00:34:52.100 Not everybody, not to the
00:34:53.640 level you would have gotten
00:34:54.380 it from the left, but we'll
00:34:56.500 say at least one of these
00:34:57.500 conditions was met.
00:34:58.360 People were fired.
00:34:59.660 Enemies were fired.
00:35:01.420 However, number two was
00:35:03.740 not did not has not
00:35:04.740 happened.
00:35:05.220 But night, but light has
00:35:06.260 not filled their ranks up
00:35:08.200 with a bunch of
00:35:09.160 conservatives or right
00:35:10.160 wingers.
00:35:10.840 And the reason that's key
00:35:12.260 guys is that these these
00:35:13.800 rules are not arbitrary.
00:35:15.100 Okay.
00:35:16.240 I didn't just make these
00:35:17.300 points up for fun.
00:35:18.580 They exist for a reason.
00:35:20.060 Each one of them touches
00:35:20.960 on a critical infrastructure
00:35:22.500 of the company.
00:35:24.720 So if you're firing your
00:35:26.180 enemies, you're getting
00:35:27.520 rid of people.
00:35:28.360 Inside the company who
00:35:29.860 hate you and would
00:35:31.080 advise the company to do
00:35:32.780 things that would hurt
00:35:33.440 you.
00:35:34.180 And of course, this is
00:35:35.060 exactly what the left
00:35:35.860 gets every time they
00:35:37.160 cancel a company.
00:35:38.960 They obviously get
00:35:40.100 everyone involved fired.
00:35:41.560 They have the ability to
00:35:42.780 get people fired.
00:35:43.760 That's one of the key
00:35:44.700 powers of the left is
00:35:46.460 that they can you can
00:35:47.140 lose your job tomorrow
00:35:48.080 if you're on the wrong
00:35:48.760 side of a political
00:35:49.460 issue.
00:35:50.220 Everybody knows this.
00:35:51.380 Everybody's forced to
00:35:52.100 keep their mouth shut in
00:35:53.700 most cases because of this.
00:35:55.400 It's a critical power.
00:35:56.140 The second thing and
00:35:58.680 friends hired.
00:35:59.480 This is a key change in
00:36:01.320 the structure of the
00:36:02.000 institution.
00:36:03.320 When the left cancels
00:36:04.740 somebody, they don't just
00:36:05.580 get their enemies fired.
00:36:07.140 The company goes out of
00:36:08.320 their way to hire people
00:36:09.500 into visible positions of
00:36:11.160 power who share
00:36:13.260 something with whatever
00:36:14.920 group is offended.
00:36:15.960 If a company offended
00:36:17.680 people of color, then they
00:36:20.400 hire a bunch of people of
00:36:21.320 color.
00:36:21.580 If they offended LGBT
00:36:23.060 people, they hire a bunch
00:36:24.540 of LGBT people, they put
00:36:25.800 them into positions of
00:36:27.720 power, right?
00:36:29.080 So this is not some random
00:36:30.200 thing I'm listing off.
00:36:32.180 That's changing the
00:36:33.280 structure of the of the
00:36:35.740 company in a way that
00:36:37.820 shows they care about the
00:36:40.300 fact that you apply
00:36:40.980 pressure to them and the
00:36:42.060 people inside the company
00:36:43.100 have changed for a reason.
00:36:45.520 Third, money to your
00:36:47.680 patronage network.
00:36:48.540 What does that mean?
00:36:49.340 That means money to
00:36:50.600 causes that signal
00:36:51.920 specifically to the
00:36:53.160 community you hurt.
00:36:54.640 Again, if the if the
00:36:56.820 company hurts people of
00:36:58.120 color, they're donating
00:36:59.180 to, you know, scholarship
00:37:01.060 funds for these people or
00:37:02.720 bettering their community
00:37:04.220 specifically to the group
00:37:06.400 that was agreed.
00:37:08.020 That has not happened.
00:37:09.300 Now, I have had some
00:37:10.080 people make an argument
00:37:11.460 that paying off Dana
00:37:12.480 White or paying off Kid
00:37:14.240 Rock or some comedian they
00:37:15.980 just kind of deal with that
00:37:17.340 that that counts as the
00:37:18.680 patronage network.
00:37:19.440 No, it doesn't.
00:37:20.760 It does not count.
00:37:22.200 OK, patronage is
00:37:24.280 directly to the community
00:37:25.680 affected.
00:37:27.780 When Bud Light gives
00:37:28.960 money to Nash, the
00:37:31.040 Christian school in
00:37:33.880 Nashville, Tennessee, then
00:37:35.780 we're talking.
00:37:37.080 OK, when they give money
00:37:39.020 directly to the community
00:37:41.180 that was hurt, then we're
00:37:42.600 talking.
00:37:43.220 They are not doing that.
00:37:44.260 Anheuser-Busch is not
00:37:45.220 cutting checks to those
00:37:46.140 people.
00:37:46.840 Absolutely not.
00:37:47.820 I'm sorry, but giving
00:37:49.680 money to billionaires who
00:37:53.060 have no impact in these
00:37:54.260 communities doesn't count.
00:37:55.480 Now, if Dana White wants
00:37:56.340 to become a broker for the
00:37:57.760 Christian community, OK,
00:37:59.280 he'd probably have to make
00:38:00.160 some changes in his
00:38:01.300 personal lifestyle.
00:38:02.960 But if he decides to do
00:38:04.340 that, great.
00:38:05.380 I want to see action.
00:38:06.720 Dana White needs to be
00:38:07.700 going out and donating
00:38:09.480 that money.
00:38:10.160 If he was getting money
00:38:11.340 from Budweiser and was
00:38:13.020 taking half that money and
00:38:14.500 donating it to Christian
00:38:15.780 causes or I don't know,
00:38:17.760 the farm workers of
00:38:18.960 America or something like
00:38:20.780 that.
00:38:21.180 OK, that's that's
00:38:23.500 closer.
00:38:25.160 Like that actually shows
00:38:26.240 direct patronage from him
00:38:28.100 to those groups.
00:38:28.860 Then he's building
00:38:29.460 credibility, right?
00:38:30.620 This is what the left does
00:38:31.920 when the left goes out
00:38:33.920 and and they broker
00:38:36.740 these deals with
00:38:38.260 community leaders.
00:38:39.100 The community leaders
00:38:40.140 often wet their beaks.
00:38:41.420 I mean, guys like Al
00:38:42.200 Sharpton and Jesse Jackson
00:38:43.800 obviously get rich off
00:38:44.860 this kind of stuff.
00:38:45.680 But the money also
00:38:46.840 to some degree gets
00:38:47.840 delivered into the
00:38:48.540 communities.
00:38:49.480 So, OK, you want to
00:38:50.600 you want to filter this
00:38:51.360 down through celebrity
00:38:52.340 influencers or
00:38:53.880 community leaders or
00:38:54.920 whatever.
00:38:55.340 OK, fine.
00:38:56.200 I'm not against
00:38:57.000 patronage.
00:38:57.720 I understand graft is
00:38:58.720 part of the system, but
00:39:00.000 at least some of that
00:39:00.540 money needs to go to
00:39:01.660 the actual victims of
00:39:03.380 what happened.
00:39:04.440 None of that is
00:39:04.960 happening.
00:39:05.520 It's just going to
00:39:06.280 Dana White.
00:39:06.840 It's just going to
00:39:08.280 people like Kid Rock or
00:39:09.580 whatever.
00:39:10.060 That's not actually
00:39:11.160 happening.
00:39:11.960 And that's not enough.
00:39:12.840 Sorry, that does not
00:39:13.980 count as money to the
00:39:14.660 Patriots Network.
00:39:15.680 And finally, there is
00:39:17.160 definitely not
00:39:18.600 teaching Budweiser
00:39:20.980 employees to be careful
00:39:22.140 about offending
00:39:23.000 Christian morals.
00:39:24.400 That's just not
00:39:25.360 happening.
00:39:26.120 OK, and so none of
00:39:27.580 these conditions are
00:39:28.320 met.
00:39:28.780 And I'm sorry, but
00:39:30.060 this is this is a
00:39:30.840 misstep by Donald
00:39:32.400 Trump.
00:39:32.760 It's not fatal.
00:39:33.700 It's just stupid.
00:39:34.760 OK, and it shows
00:39:36.020 probably some degree of
00:39:37.140 corruption at this
00:39:38.440 point.
00:39:39.260 Now, if Donald wants
00:39:39.880 to cut a check to
00:39:41.880 these families, if
00:39:43.560 if Trump wants to
00:39:44.500 say, hey, I'm
00:39:46.280 you know, I'm taking
00:39:46.980 care of this school
00:39:48.560 and everyone and the
00:39:50.160 families of these
00:39:50.940 slain people and
00:39:51.800 everyone involved.
00:39:52.640 All right.
00:39:53.740 That's impressive.
00:39:55.680 Now, maybe I'll listen
00:39:56.780 to you about Bud
00:39:57.500 Light.
00:39:58.420 But this like, hey,
00:40:00.300 just back off this
00:40:01.300 company because I
00:40:02.940 probably I'm
00:40:04.080 interested in their in
00:40:05.340 their in them doing
00:40:07.440 well.
00:40:07.760 No, sorry.
00:40:08.800 that that's not OK.
00:40:10.280 That's not enough.
00:40:11.300 This is not a victory.
00:40:12.440 It does not count.
00:40:13.760 Do not.
00:40:14.260 So if you can't win
00:40:15.300 this, if you can't push
00:40:16.640 back against these
00:40:17.360 people, you can't win
00:40:18.900 anything.
00:40:19.220 I'm sorry.
00:40:19.840 But if you if you're
00:40:20.560 telling me that you're
00:40:21.580 trying to arrest power
00:40:22.800 from a completely
00:40:25.260 evil and corrupt
00:40:26.240 regime, but you can't
00:40:28.360 stop drinking like
00:40:29.180 garbage beer long
00:40:30.160 enough to pressure
00:40:31.380 them into actually
00:40:32.800 like making apology
00:40:34.320 and hiring some people
00:40:35.440 who are on your team,
00:40:36.320 then sorry.
00:40:37.540 No, this this is
00:40:38.400 this is ridiculous.
00:40:39.680 That's not enough.
00:40:41.460 Last thing I want to
00:40:42.340 talk to you guys about
00:40:43.340 real quick is this
00:40:45.020 document that Elon
00:40:46.480 just shared on
00:40:48.480 Twitter.
00:40:48.820 Now, Elon Musk, for
00:40:50.300 those who don't know,
00:40:51.600 promised to go
00:40:53.400 ahead and pay for
00:40:55.000 the legal fees of
00:40:57.020 people who had been
00:40:58.400 fired for things that
00:41:00.500 they had said on
00:41:01.200 Twitter.
00:41:01.740 Right.
00:41:01.880 He promised to go
00:41:04.400 ahead and pay for
00:41:06.360 the legal fees of
00:41:08.180 there we go.
00:41:08.840 That's what I was
00:41:09.180 trying to do.
00:41:10.080 Pay for the legal
00:41:10.920 fees of people who
00:41:12.360 had been fired if
00:41:13.780 they had said
00:41:14.700 something offensive
00:41:15.400 that got them
00:41:16.040 thrown out because
00:41:16.700 their employer.
00:41:17.840 And interestingly,
00:41:18.860 Gina Carano was
00:41:20.000 took him up on this.
00:41:21.360 She actually in a
00:41:22.040 very high profile way
00:41:23.400 filed a suit against
00:41:24.900 Disney for kind of
00:41:26.080 wrongful termination
00:41:26.920 of her contract and
00:41:28.380 her employment because
00:41:30.000 they let her go for
00:41:32.760 being mildly
00:41:34.760 conservative, not
00:41:35.700 even very
00:41:36.340 conservative, mildly
00:41:37.360 conservative.
00:41:38.400 And so Elon Musk
00:41:39.140 stood up behind her
00:41:40.020 and good for him.
00:41:41.000 You know, Musk is
00:41:41.920 not perfect, but this
00:41:42.820 is exactly the kind of
00:41:43.880 thing we're talking
00:41:44.440 about, guys.
00:41:45.300 When we're talking
00:41:45.840 about patronage, this
00:41:47.320 is it.
00:41:47.780 Now, I understand
00:41:48.260 Carano is a
00:41:48.980 millionaire, but if
00:41:50.040 this stuff can start
00:41:51.440 filtering down to
00:41:52.560 average people, if
00:41:53.820 Elon is doing this
00:41:54.580 not just for rich
00:41:55.620 people, but for the
00:41:56.400 average person, that's
00:41:57.760 huge.
00:41:58.320 That's a big win.
00:41:59.700 That's what we're
00:42:00.320 really talking about
00:42:01.220 when we're talking
00:42:02.000 about these kind of
00:42:03.380 systems.
00:42:04.240 And so Elon looks
00:42:06.220 like he's going on
00:42:06.880 an all-out offensive
00:42:07.700 against Disney.
00:42:08.640 It's not just this
00:42:09.400 lawsuit.
00:42:10.100 He understands that
00:42:11.260 when you're doing
00:42:11.720 this stuff, you know,
00:42:13.180 kind of Chris Ruffo
00:42:14.200 style, you need to
00:42:14.860 have a full court
00:42:15.960 press.
00:42:16.400 You don't just file
00:42:17.160 a lawsuit and then
00:42:18.020 let it sit in the
00:42:18.700 dark somewhere until
00:42:19.480 a court tells you,
00:42:20.580 no, you hit these
00:42:21.580 people day in, day
00:42:22.840 out, over and over
00:42:23.860 again.
00:42:24.440 And so he's starting
00:42:25.300 to tweet about them
00:42:26.040 constantly.
00:42:26.720 He's putting the
00:42:27.140 pressure on.
00:42:28.200 We should support
00:42:28.840 that.
00:42:29.140 That's an excellent
00:42:29.940 move by him.
00:42:30.820 One of the things
00:42:31.380 he's doing is he
00:42:32.220 released this document
00:42:33.220 that is, and again,
00:42:35.300 this is from Elon.
00:42:36.740 He says an anonymous
00:42:37.460 source has presented
00:42:38.820 this to him.
00:42:39.720 I have not sourced
00:42:40.380 this independently,
00:42:41.300 so I'm only going
00:42:42.300 off of what he has
00:42:43.460 presented.
00:42:44.780 It seems like it's
00:42:45.860 real, but I do not
00:42:47.380 have independent
00:42:47.840 verification of that.
00:42:49.340 But this document
00:42:50.160 very clearly states
00:42:51.600 the agenda of Disney.
00:42:53.420 And the agenda of
00:42:54.440 Disney is all
00:42:55.680 around unrepresented
00:42:57.760 groups.
00:42:58.220 That's the word
00:42:59.800 used in here
00:43:00.860 continuously,
00:43:01.840 unrepresented
00:43:02.480 groups.
00:43:03.280 And what this
00:43:03.740 document does is it
00:43:05.540 at every level of
00:43:06.480 the corporation
00:43:07.140 explains why you're
00:43:10.300 going to basically
00:43:11.580 give racial and
00:43:13.140 sexual preferences
00:43:14.220 in the corporation.
00:43:16.200 All the way from
00:43:17.460 on-screen representation,
00:43:19.100 all the way from the
00:43:19.740 actual movies and
00:43:20.700 entertainment made
00:43:21.760 where we see it the
00:43:22.420 most, all the way
00:43:23.560 down to people who
00:43:25.080 are part of the
00:43:25.920 creative team,
00:43:26.700 people who are part
00:43:27.200 of the business
00:43:27.620 team, all the
00:43:28.620 people who are a
00:43:29.420 part of the
00:43:29.920 infrastructure.
00:43:31.040 This is a South
00:43:32.720 African style quota
00:43:34.240 document saying we
00:43:36.180 are going to, we
00:43:37.240 need to see
00:43:37.680 specifically half or
00:43:39.120 more in many cases,
00:43:40.360 most of these cases
00:43:41.200 it's half or more
00:43:41.920 people need to fall
00:43:43.120 under what is called
00:43:43.780 underrepresented groups.
00:43:45.280 And what is an
00:43:46.480 underrepresented group?
00:43:47.640 Well, it's, it's
00:43:48.180 democratic patronage,
00:43:49.200 right?
00:43:49.460 It's, it's, if you're
00:43:50.360 a woman, which how
00:43:51.600 can that be?
00:43:52.240 It's half of the
00:43:52.960 population, but
00:43:53.520 whatever.
00:43:54.060 That's, that's part of
00:43:54.880 a coalition.
00:43:55.340 That's how you, you
00:43:56.220 somehow put a
00:43:57.460 majority of people
00:43:58.100 as a minority.
00:43:58.640 That's where the
00:43:59.200 power of this thing
00:44:00.380 comes from.
00:44:01.340 But, but you, you
00:44:03.160 have women, LGBTQ,
00:44:05.140 racial minorities, all
00:44:06.300 this stuff, right?
00:44:06.900 All of that qualifies.
00:44:08.060 And this document is
00:44:08.940 an explicit menu of
00:44:11.900 basically anti-white
00:44:13.760 male Christian bias.
00:44:15.520 That's all it is.
00:44:16.480 It is, is all the
00:44:17.580 ways that we are
00:44:18.660 going to preference
00:44:19.140 anyone else who, you
00:44:21.160 know, in, in front of
00:44:22.700 these people, in front
00:44:23.520 of the camera, we're
00:44:24.440 going to shoehorn this
00:44:25.160 into our entertainment.
00:44:26.340 We have to see these
00:44:27.040 people and it's not
00:44:28.140 just enough to see
00:44:29.140 these characters.
00:44:30.400 We need specific
00:44:31.180 agendas and stories
00:44:32.600 and themes and
00:44:33.380 narratives written
00:44:34.000 around it.
00:44:34.420 It says right here,
00:44:35.300 integration of themes
00:44:36.360 and narratives.
00:44:37.160 If you remember when
00:44:38.900 Chris Ruffo leaked the
00:44:40.860 documentation about
00:44:42.300 Disney and the
00:44:43.060 emergency meetings they
00:44:44.060 were having after
00:44:44.860 Florida passed its,
00:44:46.320 it's a family
00:44:47.900 protection bill, the
00:44:48.820 one that the media
00:44:49.460 falsely calls the
00:44:50.240 don't say gay bill.
00:44:50.920 When they passed
00:44:51.980 this and they had
00:44:52.400 the emergency
00:44:52.800 meeting and Ruffo
00:44:53.660 leaked the, you
00:44:54.340 know, the emergency
00:44:54.800 Skype meeting and
00:44:55.620 things, we saw
00:44:57.040 creatives inside
00:44:58.180 Disney say things
00:44:59.180 like, oh, this is
00:45:00.180 my not so secret
00:45:01.100 gay agenda, right?
00:45:02.220 Like that was
00:45:02.760 specifically what they
00:45:04.000 said in their own
00:45:05.000 words.
00:45:05.440 I have an agenda
00:45:06.440 I'm putting into
00:45:07.600 the production.
00:45:08.640 They thought it was
00:45:09.140 funny because they
00:45:09.780 didn't think anybody
00:45:10.280 was watching and they
00:45:11.600 said, oh, they're
00:45:12.220 mocking all that stuff.
00:45:13.640 So remember how I
00:45:14.680 just told you about
00:45:16.180 how the, the, these,
00:45:17.820 uh, disillusioned
00:45:18.900 progressives or these
00:45:19.820 classical liberals won't
00:45:20.740 own their monster
00:45:21.480 because they laughed
00:45:22.780 at all the people who
00:45:23.400 said, oh no, there's
00:45:24.160 an agenda.
00:45:24.860 Like there's obviously
00:45:25.940 agenda that's going to
00:45:27.020 be inserted into
00:45:28.940 entertainment and
00:45:29.840 forced onto children.
00:45:30.860 And they laughed and
00:45:31.840 they laughed and said,
00:45:32.500 that's ridiculous.
00:45:33.080 That's insane.
00:45:33.960 Well, we have Disney
00:45:35.460 creatives specifically
00:45:36.420 saying, actually, that's
00:45:37.540 exactly what we do.
00:45:38.920 Now you shouldn't have
00:45:39.700 needed that because you
00:45:40.840 were being warned about
00:45:41.620 this decades ago, but
00:45:43.500 again, they don't want
00:45:44.580 to, you know, those
00:45:45.380 people were wrong and
00:45:46.240 they were ridiculous.
00:45:46.980 Those, those religious
00:45:48.020 Christians, what did
00:45:48.740 they know, right?
00:45:49.420 They're hicks.
00:45:50.400 They're from the
00:45:50.780 backwater.
00:45:51.580 Uh, you know, they, they
00:45:52.520 read the Bible and they
00:45:53.620 believe it and how silly
00:45:54.700 are them?
00:45:55.120 How could they, how could
00:45:56.200 anyone have predicted
00:45:57.020 this?
00:45:57.400 Oh, by, by actually having
00:45:58.860 roots in that tradition of
00:46:00.240 that understanding, but
00:46:01.220 whatever, uh, here we see
00:46:02.780 the actual cold hard facts
00:46:05.680 and the cold hard facts are
00:46:06.720 the agenda is real.
00:46:07.840 The agenda is right here.
00:46:09.260 It's in, it's in line four
00:46:11.360 of this document.
00:46:12.400 It was always real.
00:46:13.640 We always knew this, but
00:46:15.320 of course, um, you know,
00:46:16.940 it was really important to
00:46:17.960 lie about that, but we,
00:46:19.360 but we now have, again,
00:46:20.520 none of this is surprising.
00:46:22.000 Uh, some people might
00:46:23.400 think that it's shocking
00:46:25.520 that it's actually written
00:46:26.580 down somewhere, but I
00:46:27.920 don't think it is because
00:46:28.700 a lot of people thought
00:46:29.420 that this violated the
00:46:31.280 civil rights, uh, the,
00:46:33.080 the civil rights act, and
00:46:34.320 maybe we'll win some court
00:46:36.000 cases and maybe it will be
00:46:37.400 used.
00:46:37.840 I mean, I hope, you know,
00:46:39.140 launch all these lawsuits,
00:46:40.300 you know, launch a thousand
00:46:41.500 lawsuits, launch a million
00:46:43.240 lawsuits, bring them, take
00:46:44.720 these companies down with
00:46:45.580 these lawsuits.
00:46:46.180 I'm not saying don't do
00:46:46.940 that, but I'm just saying
00:46:47.940 I'm skeptical at how this
00:46:49.520 stuff is going to get
00:46:50.080 applied because these
00:46:51.300 corporations thought they
00:46:52.520 were going to get away
00:46:53.120 with this for a reason
00:46:54.080 because it was very clear
00:46:55.200 that while technically in
00:46:57.180 theory, civil rights law
00:46:59.040 protected white, straight
00:47:00.740 males, Christians, it's
00:47:02.500 obvious that it didn't.
00:47:03.560 It was obvious that by
00:47:04.400 its application, those
00:47:05.740 people were excluded from
00:47:07.440 protections of the civil
00:47:08.340 rights act.
00:47:09.060 And the real question is
00:47:10.020 going to be, you know,
00:47:11.500 if pressured, will courts
00:47:13.320 actually hold up to what
00:47:15.160 people think in theory the
00:47:16.420 civil rights laws are or
00:47:18.220 will they follow what has
00:47:19.660 actually been done with the
00:47:20.720 civil rights revolution?
00:47:22.720 And my my guess would be the
00:47:24.380 actual revolution and not
00:47:26.500 the what people think is the
00:47:28.460 is the law.
00:47:30.300 But it's very clear that
00:47:32.400 basically what we have here
00:47:33.600 is a list of best practices
00:47:35.440 for gay race communists.
00:47:36.960 That's what this is.
00:47:37.820 It's just best practices.
00:47:39.460 And we have to force this in.
00:47:41.600 We need to have this many
00:47:42.440 characters.
00:47:42.840 We need to have people with
00:47:44.360 this sexuality.
00:47:45.000 We need to have people
00:47:45.860 represent this lifestyle.
00:47:46.780 And on top of that, we need
00:47:48.600 to explicitly have their
00:47:50.400 beliefs and themes and
00:47:51.600 narratives inserted into the
00:47:53.240 entertainment.
00:47:53.820 Now, again, anyone watching
00:47:55.500 this, they knew this, right?
00:47:57.500 Anyone who is aware of what's
00:48:00.800 going on knew this was
00:48:01.640 happening.
00:48:02.500 But it's nice to have the
00:48:03.660 receipts.
00:48:04.040 It's nice to have the official
00:48:05.340 documents.
00:48:06.000 It's nice to have the literal
00:48:07.100 memo that went out that said
00:48:08.720 this is why we're inserting
00:48:10.280 wokeness into your program.
00:48:12.200 And this is why we're forcing
00:48:13.180 this onto your kids.
00:48:14.220 This is why it's so critical
00:48:15.920 that we change every one of
00:48:17.700 these things, because there's
00:48:18.660 explicit proof that there
00:48:20.620 wasn't a gym and that it was
00:48:22.540 real the whole time.
00:48:23.520 And the things that we warned
00:48:25.120 everybody about were correct.
00:48:26.840 And it's nice.
00:48:27.800 Finally, I guess that people
00:48:28.680 are catching on to this.
00:48:29.740 They needed this level of
00:48:31.020 proof.
00:48:31.360 They could have had it back in
00:48:32.880 the 80s or before.
00:48:34.280 They could have had the answer
00:48:35.300 back then, but they didn't
00:48:36.560 want it back then.
00:48:37.180 They were busy tearing down
00:48:38.340 everything.
00:48:39.400 They were busy running a
00:48:40.200 revolution.
00:48:41.200 They didn't have time for
00:48:42.700 silly religious people who
00:48:44.620 might notice that the things
00:48:46.420 that they were doing were
00:48:47.720 tearing up everything that
00:48:50.280 civilization was kind of built
00:48:51.380 on.
00:48:52.260 But that said, guys, we're
00:48:54.140 going to go ahead and wrap
00:48:55.720 this up.
00:48:56.540 I'm going to pivot over to the
00:48:58.580 to the questions of the
00:49:01.120 people.
00:49:02.080 But before I do, let me see
00:49:04.300 here.
00:49:04.640 OK, yes.
00:49:06.520 All right.
00:49:06.740 We got super chats.
00:49:07.560 All right.
00:49:07.780 Let's go ahead and switch to
00:49:09.500 the super chats real quick.
00:49:12.260 Creeper Weirdo says, but I'm
00:49:13.780 a conservative liberal.
00:49:15.120 I read you got your your guys
00:49:17.240 books, really.
00:49:18.200 But liberalism still works.
00:49:19.440 It does.
00:49:19.880 It does.
00:49:20.300 Why are you questioning me?
00:49:21.820 Yeah, that that is pretty much
00:49:23.140 what we're getting on a
00:49:23.980 consistent basis.
00:49:25.420 Yeah, there's somewhere deep
00:49:26.860 down.
00:49:27.200 Again, it's very it was very
00:49:28.660 weird for me when I talked
00:49:29.920 to Peter Boghossian over
00:49:31.760 a break the rules.
00:49:32.580 You know, I was expecting a
00:49:34.240 knockdown drag out and his
00:49:35.420 entire conclusion was, well,
00:49:37.580 OK, yeah, everything you're
00:49:38.840 saying is kind of correct.
00:49:40.440 And it seems like all these
00:49:41.280 aspects of liberalism have
00:49:42.480 failed, but we got it.
00:49:43.960 We got to hold on to it, guys.
00:49:45.040 We still got to believe in it.
00:49:46.640 That was all he had.
00:49:47.460 There was really nothing else.
00:49:51.300 Creeper Weirdo says again,
00:49:52.400 have you considered returning
00:49:53.460 to the 90s?
00:49:54.460 Yes.
00:49:55.000 Once again, always the magical
00:49:56.920 90s when everything was good
00:49:58.960 and objective.
00:49:59.640 Let's see.
00:50:01.720 Creeper Weirdo said, did the
00:50:02.720 guy named Robert say something
00:50:04.400 about this?
00:50:05.420 Sorry, Creeper Weirdo.
00:50:06.320 I think I lost the context for
00:50:07.920 that.
00:50:08.220 It might have might have been
00:50:09.380 in the middle of what we were
00:50:11.740 talking about before.
00:50:14.620 Reese says, my friend and I
00:50:15.680 argue if Nancy Pelosi is smart.
00:50:17.440 Did she hold a high position of
00:50:19.000 power for so long because she's
00:50:20.300 good at the Game of Thrones?
00:50:22.700 Yes.
00:50:23.020 I think that Nancy Pelosi is
00:50:24.760 intelligent at some level.
00:50:28.840 Right.
00:50:29.460 Remember, there are different
00:50:30.260 types of intelligence like
00:50:31.400 Richard Dawkins is a very
00:50:32.640 intelligent person and Brett
00:50:34.220 Weinstein is a very intelligent
00:50:35.380 person.
00:50:36.080 Right.
00:50:36.560 And James Lindsay.
00:50:38.920 He's an intelligent person.
00:50:40.260 Right.
00:50:40.880 But there's a big difference
00:50:42.560 between intelligence and
00:50:44.340 wisdom.
00:50:45.800 And I think a lot of people are
00:50:47.480 just like, well, if you have a
00:50:48.780 degree or if you have ability
00:50:51.120 in one area, you might have it.
00:50:53.000 You might.
00:50:53.460 You must have it in all of them.
00:50:54.460 And that's not true.
00:50:55.180 Look, guys, I there are many
00:50:56.680 things I don't understand.
00:50:58.340 There are many things I am not
00:50:59.140 good at, particularly, you
00:51:00.500 know, something like math.
00:51:01.420 I'm just not great at it.
00:51:02.840 There's no reason for me to
00:51:03.840 pretend that my ability to
00:51:05.300 understand political theory or
00:51:07.300 explain complicated concepts in
00:51:09.520 that area has any connection to
00:51:11.300 my ability to understand other,
00:51:13.560 you know, other things.
00:51:14.360 Sometimes those things correlate.
00:51:15.780 They often don't.
00:51:16.980 I think Nancy Pelosi has a
00:51:18.480 particular type of
00:51:19.340 intelligence.
00:51:19.920 I think she used it to
00:51:21.120 maximize, you know, her
00:51:23.260 advantages in what she does now.
00:51:24.900 I don't think she's here.
00:51:26.400 There are people, you know, if
00:51:28.180 you if you look at, say, I
00:51:29.960 don't know, Kamala Harris, the
00:51:31.200 current vice president of the
00:51:31.960 United States, that's very
00:51:33.100 clearly somebody who was
00:51:34.240 elevated for other reasons.
00:51:36.440 But I think Nancy Pelosi
00:51:37.320 genuinely is
00:51:38.420 is intelligent, is an operator
00:51:41.120 in her own right.
00:51:42.120 Even if that doesn't mean she's
00:51:43.260 wise in other areas.
00:51:45.260 Super weirdo says, where's your
00:51:46.360 spaghetti monster now?
00:51:48.220 Yes, the the all
00:51:50.040 all the jokes that they
00:51:51.180 that the new atheists were
00:51:52.980 making about the spaghetti
00:51:53.840 monster come back.
00:51:54.900 To get them at the end.
00:51:57.660 Johan Richardson says, can we
00:51:59.520 can we serve one master 90%
00:52:02.080 to keep civilization going and
00:52:03.820 another master 10% to look
00:52:05.200 fashionable and have fun?
00:52:06.760 If 9010 could work, how
00:52:08.860 about 8020 or 7030?
00:52:10.560 Yes.
00:52:11.020 Well put.
00:52:11.640 Yeah, that's it's that
00:52:12.740 constant desire, right?
00:52:14.200 It's the constant desire to
00:52:15.820 siphon a little more off a
00:52:17.240 little more off.
00:52:17.940 Do we really need all this
00:52:19.020 stuff?
00:52:19.720 Do we really have to do the
00:52:20.860 things that tradition offered
00:52:21.940 us?
00:52:22.140 Do we really have to maintain
00:52:24.060 you know, family and
00:52:25.600 identity and nation and
00:52:28.260 and religion the way we did
00:52:30.200 before?
00:52:30.660 Can't we just go ahead and get
00:52:31.720 rid of this thing or that
00:52:32.540 thing?
00:52:33.120 Never understanding that, you
00:52:34.680 know, we are slowly doing the
00:52:36.980 the civilizational ship of
00:52:38.760 Theseus.
00:52:39.260 And while a few planks remain
00:52:42.360 that kind of look like what we
00:52:44.420 had at the beginning of the
00:52:46.080 United States, it's very
00:52:47.180 clearly no longer the case.
00:52:50.780 Tim, Tim Miller, Brett called
00:52:52.540 MLK a founding father.
00:52:54.120 Yeah.
00:52:54.760 I mean, he and many others,
00:52:57.020 including many Republicans.
00:52:58.100 What are you going to do about
00:52:59.080 that?
00:52:59.420 He's sadly not alone there.
00:53:01.480 Deuce Boogaloo says, would it
00:53:02.900 even matter if the liberals
00:53:03.740 apologize and reform?
00:53:04.960 There are many third rails that
00:53:06.300 keep this nation frayed.
00:53:07.420 Even even the right is
00:53:09.560 terrified to touch them.
00:53:10.680 The welfare state 19th
00:53:11.520 Amendment, CRA, gay
00:53:13.340 marriage, et cetera.
00:53:14.520 Yeah.
00:53:14.640 Well, I think apologizing
00:53:15.980 reforming would probably mean
00:53:17.120 tackling a number of those
00:53:18.440 issues.
00:53:18.720 Right.
00:53:18.960 Like that's kind of what that
00:53:19.980 would mean.
00:53:20.380 And that's my problem with
00:53:21.800 people who don't recognize
00:53:22.920 those things.
00:53:23.680 You know, that and you're
00:53:24.820 right that there are even a
00:53:26.120 number of people who are
00:53:27.100 conservative who don't
00:53:28.300 recognize, you know, the
00:53:30.460 problems with the number of
00:53:31.620 things that came before that
00:53:32.700 they've taken on board
00:53:33.780 critical parts of that
00:53:34.660 revolution.
00:53:35.120 So, yeah, would that help
00:53:37.760 at the end?
00:53:38.180 Well, in some sense, no.
00:53:39.560 Right.
00:53:39.880 Because because like I said,
00:53:40.900 the point of no return was a
00:53:42.760 while back, but it would at
00:53:44.400 least allow us to start
00:53:45.440 searching for answers.
00:53:46.500 I know, again, looking at
00:53:47.460 someone like Carl Benjamin,
00:53:49.020 Carl is searching for much
00:53:50.160 more effective answers now
00:53:51.560 than he was previously.
00:53:52.920 And that's because while he
00:53:54.620 still personally may not be
00:53:55.840 able to cross certain
00:53:56.900 bridges when it comes to
00:53:57.780 faith or or other things,
00:53:59.340 he has recognized his air in
00:54:02.060 those areas and is looking
00:54:03.240 for better answers.
00:54:04.300 And and that shows real
00:54:06.220 progress.
00:54:07.680 Crippie Rito says, I
00:54:08.580 burned down my house and
00:54:09.500 now I have to live in the
00:54:10.360 ashes.
00:54:11.040 What happened?
00:54:11.720 Yep, that's exactly right.
00:54:13.100 It's exactly what we're
00:54:13.880 hearing on a regular basis.
00:54:16.140 Who's Boogaloo again says
00:54:17.000 apparently Trump has
00:54:17.920 millions invested in
00:54:19.040 InBev and they're about to
00:54:20.240 do a fundraiser for him
00:54:21.160 explains why Junior told us
00:54:22.240 to back off a few months
00:54:23.840 ago.
00:54:24.180 Yeah, again, not
00:54:26.140 surprising.
00:54:26.880 I wouldn't be surprised if
00:54:27.820 those connections exist and
00:54:29.860 I wouldn't be surprised if
00:54:30.740 those were motivating
00:54:31.400 factors.
00:54:32.260 Again, I don't actually have
00:54:34.380 a problem with some level of
00:54:36.080 beak wetting as long as
00:54:37.880 actual patronage is taking
00:54:39.080 place.
00:54:39.500 I think that is just the way
00:54:40.460 the politics work.
00:54:41.820 But the problem is we're
00:54:42.580 getting all of the
00:54:43.440 corruption without any of
00:54:44.560 the actual patronage.
00:54:46.300 We're getting all of the
00:54:46.920 beak wetting without any of
00:54:47.920 the actual benefit.
00:54:49.180 And so that's that's where
00:54:50.480 the real problem is.
00:54:52.580 Crippie Rito says, but what
00:54:55.080 we had a base take on
00:54:56.960 woke Disney films.
00:54:57.920 But we sorry, I don't
00:55:01.420 quite understand that one.
00:55:02.900 But yes, many, many people
00:55:04.520 do have the the the
00:55:06.100 industry of base takes on
00:55:08.380 a woke Disney film.
00:55:10.740 Thuggo says the regime
00:55:11.940 accepts personal debauchery
00:55:13.260 and demands group guilt.
00:55:15.400 Is that a contradiction?
00:55:17.800 I mean, so that's
00:55:19.280 interesting.
00:55:19.940 Yeah.
00:55:20.120 Personal debauchery, but
00:55:21.260 demands group guilt.
00:55:23.200 That's true in a sense,
00:55:24.660 though.
00:55:24.840 I think actually in some
00:55:26.000 ways they actually demand
00:55:27.060 group debauchery as well.
00:55:28.440 I mean, obviously, this is
00:55:29.620 this is a key aspect of
00:55:32.020 of control, right?
00:55:33.340 If you can if you can
00:55:35.180 homogenize behavior by
00:55:36.740 making everyone as
00:55:37.520 hedonistic as possible,
00:55:38.820 that allows you to
00:55:40.220 clearly manipulate people.
00:55:41.900 Obviously, it gives you
00:55:43.420 great leverage over people
00:55:44.760 on a regular basis.
00:55:46.100 One of the ways you can
00:55:47.220 kind of create a
00:55:47.920 totalitarian state is by
00:55:49.320 creating these appetites
00:55:50.400 and then the kind of
00:55:52.600 observational apparatus that
00:55:54.300 could blackmail anybody
00:55:55.120 with them.
00:55:56.140 That's obviously something
00:55:57.240 that is a classic
00:55:58.320 intelligence trap, but
00:56:00.400 it's also just something
00:56:01.160 that is used to shame
00:56:02.140 the wider culture.
00:56:03.120 If everyone is indulged
00:56:03.920 in this behavior, how
00:56:04.980 dare you have a standard
00:56:06.480 because you've probably
00:56:07.280 engaged in truth, too.
00:56:08.720 Of course, that's true,
00:56:09.620 right?
00:56:09.840 And so people would
00:56:10.440 rather avoid being
00:56:12.560 called hypocrites and
00:56:14.960 just have no standard at
00:56:16.060 all and shut up and be
00:56:17.020 quiet.
00:56:17.420 And that's a very
00:56:17.880 effective way of
00:56:18.420 silencing people.
00:56:21.080 Tom Sawyer says, can
00:56:22.400 Disney ever truly be
00:56:23.300 defeated or can it
00:56:24.280 actually be performed?
00:56:25.480 Also, you're the best
00:56:26.140 new thing on the right.
00:56:27.300 Well, thank you, sir.
00:56:27.980 I really appreciate that
00:56:29.080 and thank you for your
00:56:30.000 generous donation.
00:56:31.740 I think that these
00:56:32.560 things can be defeated.
00:56:34.280 No, don't get me wrong.
00:56:35.300 Like there are, you know,
00:56:35.960 I wrote about this in my
00:56:37.580 piece about castles and
00:56:38.980 the importance of taking
00:56:39.740 castles.
00:56:40.600 If you can take a castle,
00:56:41.920 then you should.
00:56:42.740 If you can capture a
00:56:44.240 castle intact and turn it
00:56:45.500 to your own devices,
00:56:46.840 then you should.
00:56:47.800 But I think a lot of
00:56:48.460 these things are not able
00:56:51.000 to be used by the
00:56:51.780 right.
00:56:52.140 I think that the right
00:56:52.920 is fundamentally different
00:56:54.100 from the left in many
00:56:54.960 ways.
00:56:55.700 And many of the
00:56:56.160 institutions have already
00:56:56.980 been so thoroughly
00:56:57.740 corrupted that the right
00:56:58.600 could not reform them
00:56:59.500 and use them for their
00:57:00.420 own purposes.
00:57:01.780 Now, if you can do that,
00:57:02.560 you should.
00:57:03.220 Right.
00:57:03.400 And if you again, if you
00:57:04.340 look at something as
00:57:05.620 simple as DeSantis'
00:57:07.120 ability to capture
00:57:07.980 certain things inside of
00:57:09.220 Florida, you can see that
00:57:10.380 not everything is lost
00:57:11.400 and not everything is
00:57:12.780 unable to be used to
00:57:15.220 great effect for a good
00:57:17.560 cause.
00:57:17.920 However, I do think
00:57:19.080 that many of the
00:57:19.860 national institutions
00:57:21.520 are much worse shaped
00:57:22.860 than some of the
00:57:23.480 state institutions like
00:57:25.220 DeSantis are faced
00:57:26.060 with and so there are
00:57:27.260 therefore in serious
00:57:28.900 trouble.
00:57:29.420 That doesn't mean that
00:57:30.580 again, if you can't
00:57:31.860 capture them, you
00:57:32.620 shouldn't.
00:57:33.440 You should capture
00:57:34.580 them if you can.
00:57:35.820 However, I think that
00:57:36.980 Disney is probably too
00:57:38.120 far gone at this point
00:57:38.960 and the best thing for
00:57:40.220 them to do would be
00:57:41.460 to fade away.
00:57:42.340 I mean, look at what's
00:57:43.180 going on with Disney
00:57:43.860 right now.
00:57:44.380 All of their properties
00:57:45.080 are dying.
00:57:45.900 All of the things that
00:57:46.740 they bought up from
00:57:47.480 if you think of
00:57:48.320 Disney, really, if you
00:57:49.380 think of what Disney
00:57:50.060 does right now, be it
00:57:50.980 Star Wars or Marvel or
00:57:52.260 Pixar, these are all
00:57:53.220 people they bought.
00:57:54.100 It's not anything
00:57:54.660 they're actually
00:57:55.240 producing and so most
00:57:56.380 of what Disney
00:57:56.840 produces at this point
00:57:57.820 is just the consumption
00:57:59.780 of other people's
00:58:00.660 properties and they're
00:58:01.820 ruining them when they
00:58:02.980 buy them.
00:58:04.020 So are they, you know,
00:58:05.300 are they really
00:58:05.760 invincible because it
00:58:06.740 feels like they're
00:58:07.280 already coming apart.
00:58:08.220 It feels like they
00:58:08.680 don't really have
00:58:09.220 almost anything to
00:58:10.060 offer.
00:58:10.380 They're trading
00:58:10.780 entirely on nostalgia
00:58:12.340 and they've burned
00:58:13.040 that as well.
00:58:14.300 The remakes for their
00:58:15.200 nostalgic movies,
00:58:16.500 they're, you know,
00:58:17.640 the live action
00:58:18.140 remakes of their
00:58:19.240 animated movies are
00:58:20.080 failing consistently
00:58:21.740 now.
00:58:22.320 And so do you, I
00:58:23.180 mean, do you really
00:58:23.740 feel like they're an
00:58:24.780 unstoppable juggernaut
00:58:25.780 or have they really
00:58:26.620 just met the end of
00:58:27.960 their run?
00:58:30.840 Personally, I think
00:58:32.440 it's the latter and I
00:58:33.180 think that someone like
00:58:33.840 that can be defeated.
00:58:37.620 Cripper Weirdo adds
00:58:38.780 Robert Conquest.
00:58:39.900 I meant Robert
00:58:40.320 Conquest.
00:58:40.800 Ah, he was, he was
00:58:42.180 referencing Conquest's
00:58:43.600 laws.
00:58:43.860 Yes, yes, absolutely.
00:58:46.280 Conquest laws, 100%
00:58:47.980 always in effect here.
00:58:50.180 Deuce Boogaloo says,
00:58:51.320 Oren, when are we
00:58:51.980 getting the audio
00:58:52.660 book?
00:58:53.060 Okay, well, thank you
00:58:53.760 for asking because I've
00:58:54.520 been meaning to tell
00:58:55.260 people about that.
00:58:56.280 So for those who may
00:58:57.140 not know, my book,
00:58:58.320 The Total State is
00:59:00.040 officially available for
00:59:01.120 pre-order.
00:59:01.740 You can check it out on
00:59:03.040 Amazon, you know,
00:59:04.680 Books a Million, all
00:59:06.020 those, Barnes and
00:59:07.580 Noble, you can pre-order
00:59:08.600 it in all those
00:59:09.020 places.
00:59:10.120 Right now, the hard
00:59:11.000 cover is the only
00:59:11.520 thing available.
00:59:12.100 For those who
00:59:13.500 aren't aware, usually
00:59:14.160 this is how book
00:59:15.120 distribution happens.
00:59:16.080 You have that and
00:59:16.680 then other versions
00:59:17.920 come out a little
00:59:18.580 later after people
00:59:19.480 have that initial
00:59:20.160 opportunity.
00:59:21.480 So if you want to
00:59:21.880 get the book in your
00:59:22.980 hands right away, and
00:59:24.820 I encourage you to do
00:59:25.560 so, then pre-ordering
00:59:27.480 the current, you know,
00:59:28.400 the current copy is
00:59:29.080 the way to go.
00:59:29.840 Will there eventually
00:59:30.420 be an audio book of
00:59:31.780 some kind?
00:59:32.240 I would imagine that's
00:59:33.060 probably going to be
00:59:33.580 the case if it's, I
00:59:34.600 mean, it depends if
00:59:35.360 it's popular enough.
00:59:36.120 Now, if people buy the
00:59:37.260 initial run, then they
00:59:38.220 get interested in doing,
00:59:39.340 you know, other runs of
00:59:40.220 paperbacks and audio
00:59:41.080 books and things.
00:59:42.060 So if you would like
00:59:42.580 to see that happen, you
00:59:43.940 have to go ahead and
00:59:44.760 get the original book.
00:59:46.440 But I'm hoping that, of
00:59:47.700 course, that will
00:59:48.200 happen.
00:59:48.980 Some people ask me if
00:59:49.820 I'm narrating it.
00:59:50.980 Again, I don't know.
00:59:52.140 It would depend if it's
00:59:53.600 going to come out at
00:59:54.160 all, but I'm sure a lot
00:59:55.640 of people would enjoy
00:59:56.220 that.
00:59:56.480 I'm sure they take that
00:59:57.260 under advisement if
00:59:58.180 that's what you guys
00:59:58.920 would like.
01:00:00.620 Dylan 98 says, in
01:00:02.420 Ireland, we have a
01:00:03.300 referendum that will
01:00:04.080 insert into the
01:00:05.880 Constitution.
01:00:06.480 The state recognizes the
01:00:07.500 family, whether
01:00:08.440 founding on marriage or
01:00:09.820 other durable
01:00:10.560 relationships.
01:00:11.540 This will lead to
01:00:12.320 polyamory.
01:00:13.120 I mean, yeah, sadly,
01:00:15.200 Ireland is facing a lot
01:00:16.380 of problems when it
01:00:17.460 comes to kind of the
01:00:18.900 degeneration of their
01:00:21.780 culture, their
01:00:22.300 understanding of the
01:00:22.980 family, their religion.
01:00:24.640 They're just one of many
01:00:25.540 nations undergoing that,
01:00:27.160 though.
01:00:27.760 It does seem particularly
01:00:28.600 brutal because of
01:00:30.340 Ireland's kind of close
01:00:31.740 identification with
01:00:32.940 Catholicism.
01:00:34.320 I'm sorry that that's
01:00:35.320 something that's
01:00:35.920 happening there, but I
01:00:36.780 think you're right that
01:00:37.360 that's probably yet
01:00:38.760 another inevitable
01:00:39.600 consequence of
01:00:40.620 attempting to redefine
01:00:41.740 these things.
01:00:42.780 All right, guys.
01:00:43.380 Well, we're going to go
01:00:44.000 ahead and wrap this up,
01:00:45.200 but once again, thank you
