00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody.
00:00:00.000 Today on the Charlie Kirk show, Raheem Kassam joins us to talk Scientism and Pfizer.
00:00:05.000 Very important story.
00:00:08.000 And then Jason Bellich talks about the need for us to build a data machine going into the 2024 election.
00:00:17.000 Email us your thoughts as always, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:21.000 Support our program at charliekirk.com/slash support.
00:00:24.000 Get involved with Turning Point USA Today at tpusa.com.
00:00:28.000 That is tpusa.com.
00:00:31.000 Buckle up, everybody.
00:00:32.000 Here we go.
00:00:33.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:35.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:37.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:41.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:44.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:45.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:46.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:48.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created.
00:00:53.000 Turning point USA.
00:00:54.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:03.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:06.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:15.000 I'm really excited for this conversation.
00:01:17.000 I read this article and I agreed with basically every single word, and it really animated me for a variety of reasons.
00:01:24.000 The article is Republicans Need a Tech Manhattan Project to Win in 2024 and Beyond.
00:01:32.000 And the author and the mind behind that is Jason Bellich, and he joins us right now.
00:01:38.000 Jason, welcome to the program.
00:01:40.000 Explain your article to our audience and then also to our younger listeners, remind them what the Manhattan Project was.
00:01:46.000 Thanks for having me on, Charlie.
00:01:49.000 The what's really what we need and what we're missing is the Republicans have been coasting on laurels for decades.
00:02:03.000 And our technology and the ground game behind the technology is almost 20 years behind the Democrats.
00:02:11.000 And we, by and large, are totally unaware of it, particularly the RNC, obviously, but the apparatus itself of the Republican Party is unaware just how far behind we truly are.
00:02:28.000 It's like we're trying to use Napoleonic tactics for modern mechanized warfare.
00:02:34.000 And what we really need to do is we need to educate ourselves just exactly how far behind we really are and how we got there.
00:02:45.000 The GOP used to have a really good ground game and a good data game.
00:02:49.000 Like everything from the 94 Revolution all the way through the bush years, you know, we had the best technology, the best data, the best, you know, for the time.
00:02:58.000 The RNC data warehouse was second to none, and it simply doesn't have that anymore.
00:03:03.000 And what happened was big tech happened.
00:03:07.000 A trillion-dollar industry sprung up and they turned around and gave a trillion-dollar gift to the Democrats starting from 2008 and ever since then.
00:03:17.000 They got the data, they got the technology, and they got a lot of the developers behind it.
00:03:25.000 A good example right now is the Reach app, the famous app developed by AOC's campaign in 2018.
00:03:35.000 Some developers from Google and other big tech outfits took a leave of absence, put that in quotes, and built this app for her campaign.
00:03:50.000 Another part of the big problem is with this campaign, those coders who took that leave of absence, supposedly absence, they received stipends from left-wing nonprofits.
00:04:04.000 It wasn't them volunteering.
00:04:06.000 They got paid.
00:04:09.000 And some of those nonprofits receive tax money.
00:04:12.000 So launder that how you will.
00:04:16.000 But it still means that Republican tech is stuck in 2004.
00:04:22.000 Right.
00:04:22.000 So, but here's the issue that I want to work through with you.
00:04:26.000 And I agree with everything you're saying.
00:04:28.000 The head of the RNC, Rana, and others, they are communicating the exact opposite.
00:04:35.000 They're saying they've made unprecedented investments in data.
00:04:38.000 They say they have GOP data trust.
00:04:40.000 They say they have the most technologically advanced party more than the Democrats.
00:04:43.000 This is what they tell their donors.
00:04:45.000 This is what they tell the RNC committee members.
00:04:47.000 This is what they tell the public.
00:04:49.000 Are they telling the truth?
00:04:50.000 No, they're just not.
00:04:52.000 And they may actually believe that they're okay.
00:04:57.000 A part of the part of the really big problem here is if you look at the GOP ecosystem and technology and across GOP-oriented companies in general, you see a lot of people who are politicos first.
00:05:10.000 You get lots of history degrees and poli sci degrees, but not a lot of comp sci degrees or science degrees or math degrees.
00:05:19.000 So what you have there is an inversion of skill where you have, you know, otherwise good people who know the politics and attempt to automate their systems to automate themselves with technology.
00:05:37.000 But what you're not getting is you're not getting innovations from technology being brought into politics on the Republican side.
00:05:47.000 Yeah, that's an interesting point where you say that they're not telling the truth, but they might not be lying because they might actually think it's true.
00:05:54.000 They're saying something that is objectively being able that can be disproven, but they actually might have convinced themselves that they have this wonderful tech apparatus when you're saying, no, you don't.
00:06:05.000 So just really, just maybe you can answer it, maybe not.
00:06:09.000 When they say they spend tens of millions of dollars on data, what are they spending that money on?
00:06:16.000 Well, taking a step back from that, in the Republican side, all of our data is still stuck in the direct mail paradigm from the 1970s.
00:06:28.000 So you buy lists and you mail them.
00:06:31.000 And you just keep mailing, you just keep mailing, you just keep mailing.
00:06:34.000 And the only data that you get back that validates itself is whether someone responds or whether someone donates.
00:06:45.000 So you get this perverse situation where the incentive is to simply keep mailing, to simply keep communicating and to do so with greater frequency and with more obtuse messages.
00:06:59.000 The giant MAGA 3X donate now emails that are brutal, they simply just don't know any better.
00:07:09.000 And they're spending between three and 10 times as much for names.
00:07:14.000 And this is just for donors, let alone voters, three to 10 times as much as value would dictate.
00:07:26.000 So you spend a lot of money using this old paradigm, this 1970s era paradigm, to attempt to build the list.
00:07:35.000 And you've overspent, one, you've overspent, but two, you don't have a lot of quality to the data, even if you get response.
00:07:45.000 And we're in a modern age now where if you respond, it's not sufficient validation.
00:07:53.000 You just can't do that anymore.
00:07:55.000 The whole world has moved on.
00:07:57.000 You have to be able to model the probability that you'll get the response you want based on what you learn about someone from their profile.
00:08:06.000 And this is the power.
00:08:07.000 This is how big tech got their power is that they learn everything about you.
00:08:12.000 They don't even have to know your name, but they learned everything about you and they can predict your, they predict your reaction to things.
00:08:21.000 But I just, I'm fired up about this because I have been on conference calls and in meetings, and the RNC says they do all of this.
00:08:31.000 They say that they have all these wonderful Silicon Valley people and they got platoons of data modelers and that they have people that used to work at Salesforce.
00:08:41.000 You just look at the people in these companies.
00:08:45.000 Go look up these companies.
00:08:47.000 Look up the LinkedIn.
00:08:48.000 Look up the employees.
00:08:52.000 And you do some digging on the employees.
00:08:54.000 They're all politicos first who might do some data work, might do some data work via the old paradigm.
00:09:04.000 But what's missing and what Democrats have successfully done is entice the best minds from technology, math, and science, and bring them into, bring them into politics.
00:09:19.000 So one of the things we have to do critically is to find, is to dig through all the closets where there are people in tech who, like me,
00:09:35.000 are technologists who've been doing it a long time, know the math, know the algebra, and can actually build things effectively and entice them into the GOP ecosystem.
00:09:51.000 And we have to do so by enticing them with resources and protecting them from retaliation.
00:10:01.000 Because there's a lot of, I mean, we're 90% Democrat, and so many of us are in the closet in many, in many ways.
00:10:09.000 I mean, I live in San Francisco.
00:10:10.000 I'm never going to get a job in Silicon Valley again just for being on this show.
00:10:17.000 2022 is history, but have you thought about what you'll do in 2023?
00:10:22.000 How will you make it better than last year?

00:11:31.000 If we were to build the tech infrastructure, does the personnel exist for us to be able to hire them to be able to work on a conservative cause?
00:11:39.000 They can be found.
00:11:41.000 However, one thing that we know in the tech industry, especially as coders, and something that Elon Musk proved publicly is that the vast majority of hired coders are superfluous.
00:11:56.000 You don't really need them.
00:11:58.000 A small team of between 30 and 40 people led by a dozen different top coders can build everything that we need to build.
00:12:10.000 We don't need the massive resources that one might expect.
00:12:15.000 And we're in a position that we can, we're at the point where we have to start now, but it's extremely doable and it is available.
00:12:25.000 So yeah, the personnel can be found.
00:12:27.000 They could be selected.
00:12:29.000 So what type of money would it take to do this?
00:12:33.000 And what specifically needs to be done with the short runway we have before the 2024 election?
00:12:38.000 Well, what specifically needs to be done is we need to educate the donors on the concept of impact investing.
00:12:47.000 The impact investing is it's the DEI ESG types basically invented this.
00:12:54.000 What it means is they put a political mission in front of profit.
00:12:59.000 And, you know, we're Republicans.
00:13:02.000 We love profit.
00:13:04.000 But the mission has to take priority for a little while until we build an ecosystem that can lift everyone up.
00:13:14.000 So we have to educate everyone and again, and the donors specifically, that we live in a reality now.
00:13:22.000 We live in an era where a million dollars towards data quality is worth 50 to 100 million dollars in TB ads.
00:13:30.000 So that's really smart.
00:13:31.000 And I love that term impact investing.
00:13:33.000 Where would you spend that million though?
00:13:34.000 Do you start a new company?
00:13:35.000 Do you do it in an LLC?
00:13:36.000 Do you give it to some PAC?
00:13:39.000 What I suggest is a two-pronged approach.
00:13:43.000 One is to assemble a core team of top developers to build the tools necessary for local groups to be able to engage in data integration for their own local needs in comparison to the national needs.
00:14:00.000 And then the other wing of that is a pool from the donor class to engage in this type of impact investing, to invest in companies to give out grants to coders or to even support open source projects that are germane and relevant.
00:14:23.000 That's really smart.
00:14:24.000 Has anyone tried to do this?
00:14:26.000 It's my understanding that Reince Priebus in 2013, 2014 attempted a venture fund and an incubator.
00:14:38.000 That seems to have gone nowhere.
00:14:41.000 But this type of incubation from this two-pronged incubation is actually being done all across the tech industry.
00:14:49.000 I mean, you have just all sorts of incubators out there.
00:14:51.000 Yeah, I mean, I mean, for venture.
00:14:53.000 Palantir.
00:14:54.000 I mean, yeah, Founders Fund or whatever, Futures Fund or whatever it's called.
00:14:58.000 Exactly.
00:14:58.000 But there's also a lot of nonprofit money going into these developments as well, where they stipend some coders to build something and they may or may not commercialize it.
00:15:09.000 But either way, I mean, it's that much.
00:15:12.000 That is really playing Russian roulette with the IRS code.
00:15:15.000 Obviously, they don't think they're ever going to be investigated.
00:15:17.000 But let me ask you, though, how much money do you think?
00:15:18.000 Let's say if you had a venture fund of 10 million, 20 million, 50 million, what would it take to move the dial?
00:15:26.000 The number that continually pops in my head, and I can't fully explain it because that's how my techie brain works is somewhere around 30 million.
00:15:37.000 That's not a lot of money.
00:15:39.000 With 30 million, we can have six to 10 core teams and fund probably 10 to 30 related projects.
00:15:52.000 And in terms of modern campaigning, that's not a lot of money.
00:15:56.000 No, you're talking about 1.2 billion that was spent by Republicans and 1.7 billion that was spent by Democrats.
00:16:03.000 And so you're talking about 30 million that would have an exponent on it.
00:16:07.000 If a conservative donor were to give money there, they shouldn't necessarily expect a return on investment anytime soon.
00:16:13.000 Is that correct?
00:16:15.000 They should expect that the political mission has to take forefront.
00:16:22.000 So yes, in that way, but the Democrats have been fairly successful at putting out this seed money in large measure and then reaping the handful of successful projects.
00:16:40.000 They do that through Arabella.
00:16:41.000 Arabella Advisors is their big conduit.
00:16:43.000 Jason, you're very smart.
00:16:44.000 I want to have you back on.
00:16:45.000 In fact, I want to talk to you offline and pick your brain.
00:16:47.000 Thank you for your courage.
00:16:48.000 Absolutely.
00:16:49.000 I think you're going to land a job pretty soon.
00:16:51.000 God bless you.
00:16:54.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:16:56.000 If all home air purifiers are the same, why did the U.S. Department of Defense select EnviroCleanse to protect and purify the air on board our Navy ships?
00:17:06.000 Because EnviroCleanse, advanced mineral technology, goes beyond ordinary HEPA filters to destroy airborne illness causing cold and flu viruses, including COVID.
00:17:15.000 EnviroCleanse is the new science in air purification.
00:17:18.000 Now you could order one for your home.
00:17:20.000 This is how to help stop colds and flu from taking your whole family down.
00:17:24.000 This is how you destroy allergy inflaming toxins and mold from the air your family breathes.
00:17:28.000 In fact, the hospital-grade technology is so powerful that it promises far fewer colds and allergies and better sleep.

00:18:00.000 Joining us now is Raheem Kassam.
00:18:01.000 Raheem, welcome back to the program.
00:18:03.000 You did some investigative research on the Pfizer Project Veritas Forbes, kind of that triangle of treachery.
00:18:10.000 Walk us through it.
00:18:11.000 Yeah, thanks for having me back.
00:18:13.000 Charlie, this weekend, I decided to look into this hip piece that came out about Project Veritas and its major, I think, personally, I think, from a news perspective, bombshell revelations about what's going on inside Pfizer.
00:18:30.000 I said so on one of the couple of Twitter spaces that Project Veritas hosted in the last week.
00:18:36.000 I'll say it again.
00:18:38.000 This story, this hidden camera footage is nothing short of a smoking gun.
00:18:44.000 And I'll explain in due course for the haters and the losers specifically why I believe so.
00:18:51.000 But I couldn't help in digging around this issue, but find this article written on Forbes.com, a website with a not insignificant poll and amount of traffic.
00:19:02.000 The title was headlined, no, Project Veritas video doesn't prove Pfizer is mutating COVID-19.
00:19:08.000 Who is Jordan Tristan Walker?
00:19:10.000 Now, you will know as well as I do that that attempt to squeeze that many search terms into the headline is actually a search engine optimization play from this author and from Forbes.
00:19:24.000 What they want to do is be the first result that comes up when you go to a search engine and search for, is the Project Veritas video real?
00:19:32.000 Does Jordan Tristan Walker work at Pfizer?
00:19:35.000 And they have made a clear assertion in their headline that there is no proof that Pfizer is mutating the virus.
00:19:45.000 So I thought to myself, okay, well, who's written this article?
00:19:47.000 How could they possibly have this level of insight if the theme of the article, as it is, is that, oh, we haven't had enough time to look into this.
00:19:56.000 So it turns out the senior contributor to Forbes and author of this article was a chap called Bruce Y. Lee, different Bruce Lee from the one that we're used to.
00:20:05.000 But this person is also doing far less heroic.
00:20:10.000 Finish your thought.
00:20:11.000 Far less heroic, but also doing a serious amount of acrobatics in this article to get to his conclusion here.
00:20:20.000 But nowhere near as impressive, believe me.
00:20:22.000 So he starts with all these ad hominem attacks about Project Veritas and about Tucker Carlson and all of this stuff.
00:20:27.000 But when you get to the meat of his argument, it struck me as really interesting.
00:20:30.000 He says, quote, a Google search didn't really reveal any legitimate source that could verify the person's name and title.
00:20:37.000 Similarly, a search on LinkedIn doesn't reveal such verifiable profiles either, just some accounts trying to spread his name.
00:20:44.000 And then it goes on to say, of note, a search for Tristan without the H did return an urban dictionary entry described Tristan as a very hot and cute boy who always wants to disagree, who has the softest hair in the entire world.
00:20:59.000 And then the conclusion to that paragraph is: so if you're looking for someone hot, disagreeable, and really soft-haired, there is that.
00:21:06.000 Now, I understand that this author's trying to be humorous and stress on the word trying here.
00:21:13.000 But you start an article by trashing a news outlet, an investigative news outlet, its conclusions, and in defense of a major pharmaceutical company and indeed lobby, quite frankly, and its things.
00:21:28.000 And I just didn't think that that stacked up, frankly, to a hill of beans.
00:21:33.000 So I started to look into Mr. Lee himself.
00:21:35.000 Where did Mr. Lee work?
00:21:36.000 Who sponsored Mr. Lee's work?
00:21:38.000 And of course, most people in the audience will probably be quick enough, quicker than me, even to get to the rub of this.
00:21:46.000 Mr. Lee's work has, throughout his scientific career, been in fact funded, as they say, by Pfizer.
00:21:54.000 And it wasn't just once, it wasn't just twice, but over the course I went through, because we don't just Google and go on LinkedIn in my work.
00:22:03.000 I went through a lot of his academic papers.
00:22:07.000 I went through a lot of his grant proposals and indeed the ones that were accepted and funded by Pfizer.
00:22:15.000 And I ended up putting all of that up on the sub stack in full, all of its glory for people to see.
00:22:22.000 Because Charlie, guess what Forbes didn't do?
00:22:25.000 They didn't put anything on the article that said Bruce Wiley is funded by Pfizer.
00:22:31.000 This person has a conflict of interest in writing off Project Veritas and its findings.
00:22:37.000 So Forbes is owned by a Hong Kong investment company, if I'm not mistaken, called Integrated Whale Media Investments, which I think is owned by Palico, which is a private equity company, which I'm going to go through some of their holdings in a second.
00:22:54.000 I'm sure there's something pharmaceutical there, but this is very basic, right?
00:22:58.000 So Forbes launches a salvo against James O'Keefe and Project Veritas without disclosing to the audience that the author is a paid shill for the pharmaceutical companies.
00:23:09.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:23:10.000 It's as simple as that.
00:23:11.000 I mean, if you or I were to do that and it was found that we were taking money from the people that we were defending, from a big corporate lobby that we were defending, without disclosing that publicly in some way, you know, we'd be absolutely eviscerated in the mainstream press.
00:23:29.000 CNN would be running entire segments about how dishonest and not real journalism all of this was.
00:23:36.000 And yet Forbes, under the guise of having this in its op-ed section, can get away with a headline that disputes what everybody can see with their lion eyes and their lion ears in that video that Veritas released.
00:23:51.000 Now, let's go one further than that, because it is important to note Pfizer's response for all of this.
00:23:58.000 And I just want to make it clear to the audience what Pfizer said in their response to all of this.
00:24:02.000 They said, quote, with a naturally evolving virus, it is important to routinely assess the activity of an antiviral.
00:24:09.000 Most of this work is conducted using computer simulations or mutations of the main protease, a non-infectious part of the virus.
00:24:15.000 In a limited number of cases, when a full virus does not contain any known gain of function mutations, such virus may be engineered to enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells.
00:24:26.000 End quote.
00:24:27.000 Now, I don't know about you, but it seems pretty clear-cut to me that in this statement, Pfizer is not distancing itself from what Jordan Tristan Walker alleged on his grinder date that they were doing.
00:24:39.000 And it seems as if there's new documents that show on the internal Microsoft team's profile, he's still an active employee at Pfizer.
00:24:49.000 So, this Forbes article writer tries to comically and sarcastically say, Well, we can't tell based on LinkedIn.
00:24:55.000 We just don't know.
00:24:56.000 Never picking up the phone or doing actual journalism.
00:24:59.000 But it turns out he actually still is an active director at Pfizer, a scientific and operational initiatives.
00:25:09.000 Yeah, that's right.
00:25:10.000 And you could get, I mean, he, Bruce Lee, could have could have got to that easier than I could have by calling his buddies who have funded his work at Pfizer up and asking the question.
00:25:22.000 But he, you know, he probably did ask the question.
00:25:24.000 He just didn't like the answer that he got.
00:25:26.000 And Forbes itself, quite frankly, I mean, what I love about this, Charlie, is that this is one of their now most highly commented pieces on their website.
00:25:35.000 It's got something like 400 comments under this article, and they're all negative.
00:25:39.000 All of the responses to Bruce Lee's assertions, whether it's on his Twitter, on the Forbes Twitter account, or on their website, is now just calling them liars.
00:25:48.000 Liars, liars, liars.
00:25:49.000 We see you for who you are.
00:25:51.000 The media in this country, in the Western world, has an approval rating amongst the public of about 9%.
00:25:59.000 And it's things like this that have ended it up in that position.
00:26:04.000 I mean, I remember when Forbes was a very respectable outlet.
00:26:09.000 And it really does go to show, I mean, Project Veritas deserves so much credit for what they're doing here, that there's hierarchies to where the media really deploys the attack dogs.
00:26:22.000 And what I have learned in the last two years is that defending the pharmaceutical machine is actually more important than even defending the racial machine, the race machine.
00:26:37.000 Do you agree with that, Rahim?
00:26:38.000 Do you think that this is the, you could call it the third rail or the cardinal sin?
00:26:46.000 You can't, you have to give everything you can to make sure the products of science, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Moderna, AstraZeneca.
00:26:55.000 Do you agree with that?
00:26:56.000 Yeah, well, you have to understand, the audience must understand that this is not just the sugar daddy for a lot of these people.
00:27:04.000 This is scientism, daddy, right?
00:27:06.000 The pharmaceutical industry is promising these people immortality, you know, not just cussing them fat checks and having them, you know, another example, you know, Mr. Lee works for CUNY in New York, and they received $17 million for their Cold Spring Harbor laboratory in New York.
00:27:25.000 Part of that came from Pfizer.
00:27:26.000 And last year, they decided to just coincidentally rename one of the rooms there, the Pfizer Foundation Room.
00:27:32.000 And this guy has talked about the Cold Spring Harbor in his articles on Forbes again without disclosing it.
00:27:39.000 For him, this isn't just about money.
00:27:41.000 It isn't just about rooms.
00:27:42.000 It's about the entire fate of human civilization.
00:27:48.000 What is scientism and how does it connect to the Pfizer-AstraZeneca story?
00:27:54.000 Well, don't worry, because if they have their way, we'll have eternity to talk about these things.
00:28:01.000 The idea is very simple, is that man and machine come together in some way, whether it is on this planet or in the virtual world.
00:28:12.000 And this is effectively what these people are aiming for.
00:28:15.000 And companies like Pfizer, companies like the big tech giants who are developing all of their AI stuff right now, you hear about so much of it going on.
00:28:24.000 And hilarious to me, by the way, that ChatGPT and these guys are actually supplanting journalists who just five years ago were telling Americans who are being put out of their manual labor jobs to learn to code.
00:28:36.000 Well, the code is now supplanting these journalists.
00:28:40.000 But the point is this, right?
00:28:42.000 This isn't just a cash play for people like Dr. Bruce Lee who want to discredit Project Veritas and want to hype Pfizer.
00:28:50.000 This is about where they think the fate of human civilization is going.
00:28:52.000 And for them, it is anti-God, or rather, turning man into God.
00:28:57.000 Yeah.
00:28:58.000 And so Nietzsche said that every society has a central piety of which you're not allowed to make fun of.
00:29:03.000 And obviously, that's been the race thing.
00:29:05.000 It's also free sex and the trans thing.
00:29:07.000 But if you look at it, in the midst of all the chaos, forced vaccines actually ranked higher in the priority.
00:29:16.000 For example, you were not able to all the kind of clamoring from Kyrie Irving for saying, you can't tell a black man to do with your body.
00:29:23.000 Sit down and shut up.
00:29:24.000 Still, take the vaccine.
00:29:25.000 Like the race car didn't work, right?
00:29:27.000 The trans people saying that, well, you know, we're getting monkeypox and I'm not sure if I want to get my third booster.
00:29:32.000 Shut up, get your booster.
00:29:33.000 It's scientism outraked them.
00:29:37.000 All the racial politics, it points towards that because there is this, for the secular world, the non-religious world, there is a promise of, you want to say eternity or, you know, immortality, but I think it's more sinister than that.
00:29:52.000 I think that is that the merging into something that is close to a godlike figure over man.
00:30:00.000 What do you need to go to real heaven for?
00:30:00.000 Yeah.
00:30:02.000 We'll create your heaven right here.
00:30:04.000 And by the way, your heaven looks nothing like the heaven in the Bible.
00:30:08.000 It looks everything like Dr. Fauci's idea of heaven, which, you know, I think we can probably or should all probably be able to agree upon right now.
00:30:17.000 Seems like hell on earth, quite frankly.
00:30:19.000 You know, it's interesting.
00:30:20.000 There's a new television film on Netflix with Jonah Hill.
00:30:26.000 And it's funny, one of the black characters turns to the white Jewish characters and says, you guys made us take your vaccine.
00:30:34.000 I chuckled at that.
00:30:35.000 I was like, is there some level of self-awareness now in Hollywood?
00:30:40.000 Are they trying to get something across here?
00:30:43.000 And I know a lot of people didn't like that movie.
00:30:44.000 I've seen some bad reviews of it.
00:30:46.000 But I think there was something in it that spoke to some cynics, let's say, or critics of this mantra in Hollywood itself.
00:30:56.000 And you see how the media deploys every force.
00:31:00.000 I mean, no coverage of this Pfizer story.
00:31:04.000 And thankfully, Elon Musk allowed this video to go wild.
00:31:08.000 It's 28 million views on Twitter right now.
00:31:10.000 It's one of the most successful, it's the most successful video in Produ Veritas history and one of the most successful in Twitter history.
00:31:16.000 So minute and half remaining, how do we go about actually making a serious dent in the scientism regime?
00:31:23.000 Well, Dr. Bruce Lee in his Forbes article says, quote, real journalists are obviously quite busy because a lot of bleak is happening in the world.
00:31:31.000 They tend to report on something only after there are enough facts to verify the story.
00:31:36.000 Plus, just because you don't see the articles yet doesn't mean that journalists aren't researching it and looking further into what's going on before deciding whether it deserves coverage.
00:31:45.000 A marriage doesn't happen overnight.
00:31:47.000 Well, most marriages don't, at least.
00:31:49.000 Similarly, legitimate news articles don't appear without the groundwork being done first.
00:31:53.000 I mean, the absolute gall of people like this going out there and claiming to know what real journalism looks like.
00:32:03.000 It looks like what we do every day at the national polls.
00:32:06.000 It looks like what you guys are doing here.
00:32:08.000 It looks like actually getting to the bottom of the facts fast, can happen overnight if you're willing to put in the work.
00:32:14.000 And we need to be doing the very same on things like scientism too, because they're funding it so heavily.
00:32:19.000 It's going to creep up on us unless we're not certain about how they're actually pushing this out, rolling this out.
00:32:25.000 We're getting there.
00:32:26.000 And thanks to the audience's support, I like to publish my work on my sub stack at RaheemKassam.com.
00:32:32.000 I think we are getting closer and closer to rumbling these people.
00:32:37.000 Comes from a German historicist view of the world that puts a preference on an unelected scientific elite.
00:32:46.000 Interestingly, that's exactly what Dwight D. Eisenhower warned right after the military-industrial complex said: be very wary of an unelected, technocratic scientific elite.
00:32:56.000 Fascinating.
00:32:56.000 Raheem, we'll have you back on soon.
00:32:58.000 Thank you.
