00:02:01.000There's something very special happening right now in the country, and we're going to lead with a story that you might not expect us to lead with today.
00:02:08.000It's one that is you probably saw on the business ticker.
00:02:12.000You might see it in your stock portfolio, but it's an unexpected story.
00:02:17.000So when you get, maybe you feel overweight or when you feel a little sloppy, there's a good impulse that we humans have that you should act upon.
00:02:34.000Now, a modern term for this that is used, especially in the health circles, is to detox.
00:02:41.000This is why you'll see some people walking around drinking celery juice and doing keto diet, which is ketosis to get your body into a state of ketosis.
00:02:56.000When people start to embark on a journey of self-improvement, we should be supportive of that.
00:03:02.000We should tell, we should encourage people to continue to try to make themselves a better version of themselves.
00:03:10.000In fact, you're going to start to see that a lot coming up in the coming months when people are going to start to get back into the gym or go outside and try to assume a healthier lifestyle.
00:03:19.000Now, that is happening individually, but it's also happening culturally.
00:03:25.000The same sort of impulse where you start to evaluate why am I eating these donuts for breakfast?
00:03:36.000Maybe I need to reprioritize what I'm putting into my body so that I can actually have an outcome that I can live with, that I can have progress and I could be on the journey of self-improvement.
00:03:47.000The very same thing is happening right now with the information and the content that we as a society consume and process.
00:03:57.000The very same way as now people are starting to reject donuts and saturated fats and fried foods, people are now starting to say, why am I paying money every single month voluntarily for a subscription service that is feeding me the equivalent of saturated fats that might feel good when I watch it, but I feel really bad afterwards and it doesn't make me happier.
00:04:44.000Now, it came out yesterday that Netflix reported a loss of 200,000 monthly paying subscribers during the first quarter of this year.
00:04:54.000Netflix has embraced the woke agenda completely and totally.
00:04:59.000Now, there's still some good content on Netflix.
00:05:01.000I canceled my Netflix subscription because after they published Cuties, which I believe was very close to child pornography, and other people agree, it's hard to not come to that conclusion.
00:05:58.000I don't think you quite understand the cultural impact that Netflix has over young people and how they view the world.
00:06:07.000If 200,000 people are divesting from Netflix, they are doing the exact same type of behavior that people do when they say, I'm a little bit overweight.
00:06:18.000Get me some celery juice, get me a gym membership.
00:06:20.000I'm going to stop going out to the bar every evening and I got to get myself into shape.
00:06:25.000What you are seeing is an entire country or culture start to kind of sit up straight with their shoulders back and say, That's not making me a happier or better person.
00:06:36.000Now, Netflix seemed to be untouchable for years.
00:06:39.000In fact, Netflix was part of the acronym of tech boom, which was called Fang, Facebook, Apple, Netflix, and Google.
00:07:23.000Netflix has unabashedly and wholeheartedly embraced the very same insidious ideology, the cancer, that is becoming increasingly unpopular in America.
00:07:47.000And Netflix, I would argue, actually, is more influential in shaping the opinions, the thoughts, the perspectives, the worldviews, in challenging the values and the morals of a society.
00:08:03.000Netflix is more influential in that regard than most media companies.
00:08:11.000Most media companies do not have the kind of sway.
00:08:17.000They do not have the kind of power that Netflix has.
00:08:20.000One documentary from Netflix can change the world.
00:08:23.000If you don't believe me, for whatever reason, we all decided to start caring about that weird guy from Oklahoma, the tiger guy.
00:11:47.000The streaming service Netflix today reported a loss of 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter of the year.
00:11:54.000It is the first time in a decade that Netflix has reported a loss of in subscribers, and it set the company stock plunging by 25% in after-hours trading.
00:12:04.000Netflix is blaming the losses on increased competition, password sharing, inflation, and even the war in Ukraine.
00:12:17.000And competition might be a little part of it.
00:12:20.000It's that no one really wants to see the crap that you're publishing.
00:12:23.000If you were producing beautiful content, if you were producing stories that were compelling, then people would be flocking to your service.
00:12:31.000And there's some stuff on it, but generally, it's just the same sort of repetitive garbage.
00:12:45.000And the question will be: how will these organizations and companies keep themselves afloat?
00:12:52.000What is going to be the bailout model?
00:12:54.000I mean, you already saw massive media companies be bailed out by taxpayers in the midst of the pandemic through stimulus.
00:13:03.000You saw huge amounts of taxpayer dollars go to bailout media companies.
00:13:08.000Then you saw the CDC and NIH come in with incredibly overwhelming, like just incredible sums of money to advertise the vaccine and to advertise NIH and CDC propaganda.
00:13:24.000A lot of media companies benefited from that and got a lot of money of get your back, get vaccine and get boosted today.
00:13:33.000But now those kind of those things are over for right now.
00:13:36.000So what is going to keep these media companies afloat?
00:13:39.000People don't actually want to consume their information.
00:13:42.000And Netflix is a great example because the Netflix model is inherently brutal.
00:13:49.000Where CNN can kind of hide how many people are watching, like, oh, we have web traffic and we have all these different types of airport traffic, which is, I think, CNN's, without airports, I don't know how many people would actually watch CNN.
00:14:02.000There's a very interesting story as to why CNN is in airports.
00:14:05.000They actually had to get FAA approval.
00:14:07.000The federal and aviation admit, the Federal Aviation Administration does a contract with CNN.
00:14:11.000CNN is also in your kids' schools, by the way.
00:14:14.000It's called, it's not New Day, I'll think of it.
00:14:17.000It's Channel 1, I think is what it's called.
00:14:20.000CNN is in public schools all across the country and they get paid for that garbage, trying to condition kids into that.
00:14:27.000Oh, CNN in the airports got shut down in January?
00:14:31.000That's why I'm happier when I'm going through airports and I don't have to wear a mask.
00:14:35.000So CNN actually, okay, in January, they grounded their long-running airport network.
00:14:40.000Yeah, without CNN in the airports, I don't know who would have actually watched it.
00:14:43.000But also, they have the school propaganda piece.
00:14:48.000But anyway, CNN is able to disguise and camouflage how many people are actually watching it.
00:14:54.000They can make themselves seem more popular than they actually are.
00:14:57.000Netflix can't do that because Netflix goes straight into the credit card statement and bank account of their users.
00:15:05.000So Netflix's model is brutally transparent.
00:15:09.000Netflix, if they do not have people that want their content, then they're going to go down like a rock.
00:15:15.000And that's one of the reasons why Netflix has been basically able to defy gravity through their stock price and subscribers the last couple of years is because if you live by the sword, you're going to die by the sword.
00:15:25.000If you live by the idea that subscribers are going to give you money, but then all of a sudden what happens when they stop giving you money?
00:15:31.000And so because of that, their ascent has also now been their decline.
00:15:54.000I don't know how that impacts your company other than you shut off service in Russia, which I guess is a big market for Netflix, but not exactly sure.
00:16:03.000They say it's hundreds of thousands of homes that they shut off in Netflix in Russia.
00:16:07.000What's the other thing that they blamed?
00:16:11.000So, but here's the thing: is that when you have an oversaturation of companies that are doing the same thing and you don't even do it well, don't be surprised, Netflix, when you crater Hulu, Discovery Plus, HBO Max, Netflix, I can't even remember all of them, by the way, YouTube TV, Amazon Video Prime, whatever.
00:16:34.000They're all in kind of the same space, which is we need to have diversity, equity, inclusion, woke-type writings.
00:16:44.000And the same type of story is like, okay, there's some like isolated urban youth who might think they're transgender.
00:16:51.000And like it goes on for like nine episodes and eventually they get over it.
00:16:58.000Look, everybody, I know you love freedom and you want to defend it.
00:17:02.000It's a beautiful document, and so do I.
00:17:05.000And it's the same with Hillsdale College, the best liberal arts college in America.
00:17:09.000Hillsdale's mission is pursuing truth and defending liberty.
00:17:12.000It gives its undergraduate and graduate students the best education and is working to make this education available to all, from offering free online courses to helping support K through 12 schools.
00:17:23.000But today I want to tell you about Hillsdale's amazing free monthly digest of liberty.
00:18:14.000Check it out right now, charlieforhillsdale.com.
00:18:19.000The only person, the only thing that I will try to see in Netflix in the coming months, and I'll just go over to my in-law's house to watch it, is Ozark.
00:18:29.000And I will say, Ozark, which I got into before Netflix went totally out of control, was very much immune to a lot of the diversity, equity, inclusion garbage.
00:18:46.000Let's go to Cut 53, a guest on Stuart Varney's wonderful program, says they lost 700,000 accounts because they shut down Netflix in Russia and that this trend will continue because the streaming services are coming off their COVID high.
00:19:00.000This is an argument that it's a natural taper.
00:19:03.000I don't quite agree with this argument.
00:19:06.000Well, first things first, I mean, obviously, they shut down all the accounts in Russia.
00:19:10.000So I think that was like 700,000, but that's not the main issue.
00:19:14.000The main issue here is, and we've talked about this before, Stu, all of the COVID darlings, whether it be Netflix, DocuSign, Zoom, any of the COVID darlings, they are getting crushed right now because they had all that pull forward at the beginning of the pandemic.
00:19:28.000And now they're realizing that, you know, the game is changing.
00:19:33.000And so people are looking at what can I cut out.
00:19:36.000Now, that's not a good sign culturally, nor is it a good sign economically.
00:19:40.000If you're about to head into a recession or a downturn, it's usually when people start to say, what can I cut out of what I have in front of me?
00:19:48.000Cut 54, Stuart Varney guessed, on how people are looking at their bills and seeing what they can cut out.
00:19:54.000Netflix is now being deemed non-essential.
00:20:03.000As we've seen with Netflix, they're losing subscribers.
00:20:07.000And I think the rest of them, folks are taking a look at their bills and thinking, well, what can I do without now?
00:20:13.000And as the economy maybe slows a little bit, and as we have some fear of a potential recession down the road, people are going to start to take a look at their bills.
00:20:22.000And I think all the streaming companies are probably going to see some losses.
00:20:28.000Elon Musk responds to a tweet about Netflix cratering 20%, what's now 38%.
00:20:34.000Elon Musk tweets, quote, the woke mind virus is making Netflix unwatchable.
00:20:41.000Someone else responds, Prene Pothole, says the woke mind virus is the biggest threat to civilization.
00:20:50.000You're starting to see a consolidation against this cancer that has metastasized into every central organ of the West.
00:21:03.000Everywhere you turn, it's like, why is this ever?
00:21:05.000Why is our military talking about diversity, equity, inclusion?
00:21:09.000Why do we have black-only dormitories at universities?
00:21:13.000Why do we have black-only graduation ceremonies at Columbia University?
00:21:16.000Why is United Airlines saying they're going to give preference to skin color when hiring pilots?
00:21:22.000Why is Capital State 3 Advisors saying that they need a unanimous support from the board to hire a white man, but black people could be hired at any time?
00:21:41.000And what you're starting to see is a response where decent people are ready to go scorched earth and execute a metaphorical chemotherapy campaign against the woke cancer in our country.
00:21:57.000And when you have cancer, to just kind of finish the metaphor, one of the first things they tell you to stop doing is stop eating bad sugar.
00:22:08.000So people are saying, look, the tumor is everywhere.
00:22:11.000I'm not going to keep on just eating this Netflix garbage because it's actually making me feel really crummy.
00:22:17.000And it's only further powering the people that I hate.
00:22:20.000Now, if Netflix thinks the future of their company is pandering to 10 to 15% of the population, where people live in maybe Malibu or Manhattan or Boston, and all they care about is super radical, like transgender youth stories of kind of like the stories on Netflix are so bad because they're destroying the Western canon.
00:22:43.000And there's this new thing they do in television now, which I just call meandering.
00:22:49.000And if you watch some of these series, it's just there's no real story for a couple episodes.
00:22:55.000It's just kind of the main characters wander.
00:23:00.000And there's really not, there's no like a confrontation to evil.
00:23:04.000There's no introspection for the betterment.
00:23:07.000But there's a lot of the, and you see this in a lot of the stuff.
00:23:10.000You could kind of see this in cable television too.
00:23:12.000And I know enough of this just to be dangerous because I try not to watch this stuff.
00:23:16.000But just out of curiosity, I, you know, I did in the last couple months here and there, just a sample of what are people watching?
00:23:22.000And you see it, there's so many of these scenes where like the main character is like looking up at the sky and is always filmed from the top down.
00:23:30.000And it's kind of the entire camera starts to rotate as if I don't know what is real.
00:23:40.000And they kind of get drawn through either a psychedelic experience or some sort of one-off friendship, or they become an activist.
00:23:49.000And you watch this and you say, where is the kind of unfolding of the traditional Western story, which is broken person wants to improve, challenges evil, loves what is good, and goes on some sort of heroic adventure to go about doing it.
00:24:11.000Now, one of the reasons why Ozark is a great show on Netflix is that it actually turns the Western cannon on its head.
00:24:19.000It does a 180, and it does what made the Soprano so successful and what made Breaking Bad so successful.
00:24:26.000Ozark took the Sopranos, took Breaking Bad, and just did it, I think, not better, but they did it differently.
00:24:33.000And it's, okay, we're going to make the antagonist, the protagonist, we're going to play a trick on the audience, and we're going to make you go cheer for a drug dealer, a meth truck dealer in Breaking Bad, or go cheer for a money launderer, murderer in Ozark.
00:26:51.000Opposition networks tend to win because in order to win, they just have to not lose.
00:26:56.000That's one of the reasons why it's so hard to invade a country.
00:26:58.000We made this point with Russia invading Ukraine early on that I think a lot of the kind of pro-Russian force, the pro-Russian propaganda people, you know, RT or whatever, they were like, oh, Russia's going to take it over in an afternoon.
00:27:18.000It's what the American revolutionaries did.
00:27:22.000But I don't think that this team, Tucker, Rogan, Enlon, Maher, all these people now consolidating together, I don't think it's just an opposition network.
00:28:35.000They have like Joy Reed and Anderson Cooper and that eunuch that always goes on CNN, whatever his name is, and Don Lamond, and I don't know, super like fragile people like Whoopi Goldberg and labor unions.
00:29:49.000And again, the winning team, if you will, when historians accurately write the kind of saga of this era, they will talk about the successful, unexpected coalition of Bernie Sanders liberal, Glenn Greenwald, who I have a lot of respect for.
00:30:07.000I really have a lot of respect for him.
00:30:10.000Steve Bannon, Tucker Carlson, Bill Maher, Elon Musk, this program, and others consolidating together to defeat the woke, not to mention Brett Weinstein and Naomi Wolf and McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., all kind of coming together around very basic values of self-government,
00:30:37.000the Constitution, and the rule of law, like stuff that we never used to not debate, where Democrats and Republicans used to always agree.
00:30:44.000It could be Barry Weiss or Douglas Murray or kind of this entire collection of people together.
00:30:55.000In fact, that is where the momentum is.
00:30:57.000Where Peter Bogosian, who we're doing some work with at Turning Point USA, we got to have him back on the program soon, who is an atheist, I'm the opposite of an atheist, who is, some people would call him a liberal, but a free speech guy, who we're doing events with at Turning Point USA to challenge this woke virus, you think to yourself, just like a betting odds, right?
00:31:17.000If you were like Caesar's Palace in Vegas and you say, which is the team that's going to win?
00:31:24.000The team that's able to bring people together from different backgrounds, political affiliations, and religious views, people that are highly persuasive, likable, that are getting richer, more powerful, and more popular.
00:32:07.000I could tell you the team that I'd put all, I'd go all in on the team that's able to get people to wear the same jersey that otherwise would hate themselves, not hate themselves, hate each other.
00:32:17.000It's like Elon Musk with Tucker Carlson, Brett Weinstein with Steve Bannon?
00:32:39.000What you can see there is a very close correlation between the president's, between how these polls are done, the generic polls, and how much vote share the president's party loses.
00:32:52.000The more popular the president's party, the more they lose.
00:32:55.000Not surprisingly, they're starting from a higher level.
00:32:58.000And that red dot right there is where the Democrats and Joe Biden would be at this moment, which would be possibly losing another 2.4 percentage points beyond what they're polling behind at the moment by the time you get to election day.
00:33:13.000Here's the issue the Democrats are going to realize very soon: they are in an unbreakable contract, they are in an agreement that cannot be dissolved.
00:33:25.000They are in a partnership with the woke where a divorce is not going to be easily brokered.
00:33:33.000You see, they decided to let the woke into their camp, and yeah, they got a momentary burst from it post-Floyd.
00:33:41.000They got donations and they got moral signaling, but now people are realizing what they are, and Democrats will not be able to decouple from it.
00:33:48.000It is now the base, it is the party of the Democrat Party and the A-team, if you will.
00:33:54.000This incredibly unexpected alliance of people who love liberty and love the Constitution.
00:34:00.000Thank you so much for listening, everybody.
