00:02:32.000June 14th through 16th, 2024 is our final battle in Detroit, Michigan.
00:02:37.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:03:39.000Still Boneless just posted this video from the New York subway of this guy just unconscious and publicly urinating all over the New York City subway.
00:03:49.000And it's amazing that videos like this just don't seem to exist anywhere in Eastern Europe at all.
00:03:56.000So yes, civilization still does exist.
00:03:59.000You just have to fly a little bit to get there.
00:04:06.000So, what are all the places in Europe you went to?
00:04:12.000This time around, we went to Hungary, we went to Romania, we went to Madrid, and then we had like a long layover, like a one-day layover in Morocco.
00:05:36.000Congress just went and they voted on a law that says if you own a Bible, if you read a Bible, if you look at a Bible, they are going to cut your head off.
00:06:49.000And what H.R. 6090 does is it passes a formal definition for anti-Semitism, and it instructs the Department of Education to use this definition for the purposes of enforcing civil rights law.
00:07:03.000So we have civil rights law that say you can't discriminate on the basis of race or sex or skin color or religion and other factors if you are a school that is getting federal money.
00:07:16.000And so what they say is, obviously, that would apply like anti-Jewish discrimination.
00:07:21.000And so what this law is essentially saying is this is the official definition of anti-Jewish discrimination that the Department of Education should use.
00:07:29.000And the definition that they are using is really, really broad.
00:07:33.000It is a definition created by a group called the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, and it's called the Working Definition of Anti-Semitism.
00:07:44.000And this working definition of anti-Semitism, it includes some things we would all agree both are anti-Semitic and should not be allowed.
00:07:52.000Like you can't, like, it includes assisting in violence against Jewish people.
00:07:59.000It's state, local, and federal crimes.
00:08:01.000So it's one of these things where why do you need to pass it except to expand it?
00:08:04.000But other definitions that are included here as examples.
00:08:08.000And this law, what it does is it says it includes the definition and the examples that this group has given that you should look towards.
00:08:16.000And so, for example, one of them is claiming that the existence of a state of Israel is a racist endeavor, which some people say because it's a country that defines itself as Jewish.
00:08:28.000It gives citizenship to Jewish people automatically, but not other groups of people.
00:08:32.000So it's a group that's a state that defines itself by a particular nationality.
00:08:53.000Everything gets compared to the Nazis.
00:08:56.000But now they're saying that is anti-Semitic.
00:08:59.000And so what that means is if a school, like if a professor at a school does this, or if a group at a school does this and doesn't get punished, or if employees of a school are doing this, it would apparently violate civil rights law.
00:09:12.000And then the government can come in and sue you, or they have to have lawsuits go your way, go towards someone if they sue over this.
00:09:20.000And it just adds to the arsenal of things the federal government can do to mess with you.
00:09:25.000So first, let's play the law's author, Bill's author, which actually has more.
00:09:32.000There's a lot of updates around this, and we covered it earlier today.
00:09:42.000Hey, everyone, it's Congressman Mike Lawler.
00:09:44.000I just want to say how proud I am that my bill, the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, just passed the House of Representatives 320 votes to 91.
00:09:55.000This bill has broad bipartisan support and will begin the process of cracking down on the anti-Semitism that we've seen run rampant on college campuses all across America.
00:11:33.000So it's all the stuff we had, you know, listed above, that's already bad because it's like, okay, you can't criticize the Israeli government.
00:11:41.000Even if that's a bad criticism, we don't need a ban on criticizing a foreign country.
00:11:46.000But one of the things that's in it is it says it mentions images associated with classic anti-Semitism, e.g., for example, claims of Jews killing Jesus.
00:12:17.000Using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism, for example, claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel to characterize Israel or Israelis.
00:12:25.000So he says this is essentially group guilting all current Israeli citizens for the death of Jesus.
00:12:31.000I said, that's not what it says, though.
00:12:33.000And what I was able, I think, to come to some common ground with is I said, can you point to a time where the federal government has a statute where they do not pervert or contort what is on the laws of the books that come after the faithful?
00:12:45.000And I think the best example of this in modern times is Douglas Mackey.
00:12:49.000Look how Douglas Mackey is facing federal prison time for making a meme in the 2016 election.
00:13:52.000And so Senator Roger Marshall, I'm going to get Jack in this in a second from Kansas, has now tweeted out this, which is remarkable, which, by the way, goes to show the power of our program in social media.
00:14:01.000He says, the Holy Bible is the word of God.
00:14:03.000I believe in the sanctity of Scripture, and no person should change or alter those words.
00:14:09.000If this bill comes to the Senate floor as is, we will offer an amendment to honor the sanctity of scripture.
00:14:15.000By the way, thank you, Senator Marshall, for that very clear tweet.
00:14:18.000I wish they would have read the bill before they actually passed it.
00:14:35.000Yeah, so pre-Vatican I, there were continuous, and you still hear this in some TLM or traditional masses within the Catholic Church.
00:14:44.000And not to get super into it, so Vatican I, or which there is no Vatican I, but it's like pre-Vatican II, so pre-1960s, you would hear in a lot of Catholic churches the prayer for the conversion of the Jews, the prayer for the conversion of the Jews.
00:14:58.000And so this would be a basic statement that the Jews rejected Jesus.
00:15:03.000This led to the crucifixion and the death of Christ.
00:15:07.000And then this is also something that Catholics pray for.
00:15:10.000And specifically, by the way, the conversion of the unfaithful Jews.
00:15:15.000And this was a common and regular, just regular prayer.
00:15:19.000And by the way, there was also a prayer for the conversion of pagans as well.
00:15:23.000And so let's say now that you're the FBI, which is already, as we know, using, I'm not even actually sure what justification they're using, but they're claiming potential for radical extremist plots in order to infiltrate using federal assets and informants into traditional Latin Mass churches and traditional Latin Mass services.
00:15:48.000Now, all of a sudden, you've got a new law that says, oh, perhaps we can shut down your church if we catch you praying this specific prayer, which, by the way, all Christians continuously pray for the conversion of everyone to Christ.
00:16:02.000That's sort of a basic tenet of Christianity.
00:16:05.000But if you use the wrong words, now the federal government can go after you?
00:17:00.000And to just say, like, categorically, you can't utter it or you'll be sued and you'll like get punished by the federal government, that's insane.
00:17:08.000It might be hurtful to say that to like a lot of random people, which is a thing that's done.
00:17:13.000It's not, it's an ugly behavior to do.
00:17:15.000But to say that it's illegal or you're going to use the full force of the government.
00:17:20.000And I could just see how this is going to work.
00:17:22.000So now you have, let's just take Wyoming Catholic College, okay?
00:17:27.000Which is a really solid Catholic school.
00:17:30.000Are they now going to get a letter from the Department of Education in the next year, five years, 10 years, where they're like, hey, can we see your missiles?
00:17:40.000Can we see what you're teaching in regards to, are you reciting hate speech in your liturgical...
00:17:47.000Well, it doesn't even have to happen next year.
00:18:02.000There's ugly speech, there's gross speech, but hate speech is a term that is inherently subjective.
00:18:08.000And the First Amendment protects all speech that doesn't call for violence.
00:18:11.000And honestly, outside of one of these examples on the International Holocaust Museum, which by the way, memories, I'm sure they do great work, is like not, like, the first one is this.
00:18:22.000If you call for the killing of Jews, that is direct incitement of violence.
00:18:28.000But then you go to the third entry point, accusing Jews as a people, sorry, accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel or the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide.
00:18:45.000They'll always say Israel's held to a double standard, that they're expected to do things with regard to Palestine that the U.S. isn't expected to do, or China or Russia or any other country.
00:18:55.000They're not expected to do these things.
00:18:57.000So they say they're subject to a double standard.
00:19:01.000But again, you are now saying the federal government is going to police that people don't have the wrong opinions about a foreign government.
00:19:11.000So Tyler, help me understand the politics of this.
00:19:14.000Mike Johnson, who is, he's up against the wall right now.
00:19:18.000He has to get Democrats to bail him out.
00:19:32.000Like, if there is a classic classical definition of, like, trying to jump the shark.
00:19:38.000And this is what I think, for those of our younger audience that don't know the jumping the shark reference, it was at the end of happy days.
00:19:46.000Again, this is American history, right?
00:19:49.000They put Fonzie on water skis and had him jump over a fake shark on the thing.
00:20:50.000Did they cell phone where now you're not allowed to read from the Talmud?
00:20:54.000I'm just saying, like, if in Jewish folk literature, it says right here, again, this is myjewishlearning.com, a teaching from year before 300 asserts that Jesus was put to death by a Jewish court for the crimes of sorcery and sedition.
00:21:07.000In standard texts of the Talmud from Eastern Europe or an American text that's simply copied from them, there's a blank space towards the bottom of that folio because it's potentially offensive text was removed.
00:21:15.000The censorship may have been internal for self-protection or may have been imposed on the Jews by Christian authorities.
00:21:20.000In many new editions, in the Talmud, this passage has been restored.
00:21:24.000The Talmud's claim was that there was an event that took place on the eve of Passover is consistent with the chronology of the Gospel of John.
00:21:29.000In the Talmudic account, the Romans played no role in the death.
00:21:33.000I mean, even in the Bible, like what it essentially is, is they accuse him of blasphemy, and then they go to the Romans and they say he's a blasphemer, and Pontius Pilate says, I don't care.
00:21:44.000And they say, well, he's also undermining Caesar.
00:21:47.000And he's still kind of like, eh, that's sus.
00:21:50.000But then they basically say, you might get executed.
00:21:53.000And they kind of throw a temper tantrum.
00:21:55.000And so he washes his hands of it as it were.
00:22:14.000Yeah, and so it's almost, again, the Bible thing stands out, but we do need to emphasize, you can't fix the Bible part.
00:22:23.000You can't just throw in the religious scripture as protected here and make this bill good.
00:22:27.000This is still a bill that goes way too far.
00:22:30.000And what's sad about it, big picture, is this issue should be a huge winner for us because you have obnoxious, left-wing, violent jerkwad students at Columbia basically rioting to support a terrorist group.
00:22:46.000And their main opponents are a bunch of jerkwad academia heads who are also terrible.
00:22:53.000And we basically could just watch, watch them rip each other to shreds and then send in the cops if they get too violent and like arrest some people.
00:23:12.000It's, I mean, so there's in funny enough, in ancient China, okay, they used to have this belief called Wu Wei, and it just, it sort of means do nothing.
00:23:26.000And this kind of came about like in the 13th century when the Chinese dynasties were pretty much running all of Asia.
00:23:32.000And they were pretty much the top of the heap when it came to Asian cultures.
00:23:36.000And so the idea was we've got the empire right where we want it.
00:23:41.000Don't make any big moves and we'll stay winning.
00:23:44.000And this was pretty much fine until the British showed up with their gunboats.
00:23:47.000And this is kind of, then the Chinese also have this other ancient saying.
00:23:54.000Don't interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake.
00:23:57.000The worst possible thing you could do, total break of rules with radicals, total break of the basics of information warfare, is that if your enemy is fighting your other enemy and themselves, essentially, if the snake that you are fighting is eating its own tail, don't step in and try to save the snake.
00:24:15.000And what you're doing is, and what the Republicans have done here, is they've committed a massive strategic blunder, as usual, where they're moving the focus of attention away from the protests and onto themselves.
00:24:29.000Now, fortunately for the Republicans, these protests, which have descended into riots at this point, are so incredibly violent that it's kind of hard for the media to get away from it.
00:24:39.000And even like local media and mainstream media are broadcasting these images.
00:24:47.000We are going to remember these images.
00:24:49.000It's a complete and massive optics fail for the Democrats, normies, centrists, independents.
00:24:54.000Everyone is turning against this thing.
00:24:57.000Which, by the way, if you're actually for the people of Gaza, it's probably not a good thing for you because this is just going to help the Israelis with their public opinion because people are going to say, I don't want to be involved with the guys supporting these protests.
00:25:13.000And so it's ridiculous to me that never bet against the Republicans when it comes to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
00:25:23.000But that's exactly what they've done here.
00:25:26.000Well, and I want to bring this point up too, because it's like, this is, maybe I'm just super innocent, but this whole thing is just like so.
00:25:35.000Tyler's the most innocent in the world, ladies and gentlemen.
00:25:39.000Astounding to me is this entire thing about, you know, taking such offense that, you know, the Jewish population was not a big fan of Jesus and that they were responsible for his death.
00:25:52.000It wasn't just him, but it was the apostles they ran out after they crucified Jesus.
00:26:07.000And then that's what made all the 12 apostles disperse.
00:26:11.000They left because they literally murdered James then after the crucifixion of Jesus.
00:26:17.000So like, again, I think there's like a certain sensitivity, I understand, around, you know, Christian-Jewish relations around the topic of Jesus and the events that happened around that.
00:26:32.000But like, again, saying these things, and to your point back, Charlie, is like, you come into this whole thing.
00:26:39.000I'm just like so astounded that this is, I don't think the average person walking on the street would be offended by any of that conversation.
00:26:50.000But now that that makes you a target by the government is one of the scariest things ever that you could ever probably, you know, put into writing.
00:26:58.000I get frustrated because when you think of the big picture of how did this come about, and it's that it's like it's like we have bad ideological formation on high-level Republicans because they can't, they haven't had the process thought of, yeah, we've been defending free speech for the last six years.
00:27:18.000You know, we've been worried about censorship online.
00:27:21.000We've been worried about censorship on campus.
00:27:23.000We've been worried about Democrats wanting to roll back all these speech things and putting our guys in jail.
00:27:28.000And then, you know, the neurons didn't fire right when this came up to go, like, wait, now we restrict speech.
00:28:15.000They never cared about this in the first place.
00:28:16.000And the answer is a lot of people like us do care about it.
00:28:19.000And I think even a lot of those guys care about it.
00:28:21.000And they're just, they're dumb and kind of weak and they don't pay attention.
00:28:27.000And they thought they could get an easy win.
00:28:30.000And this is another problem I think a lot of the right has is they always want to just go for some easy win that doesn't really require doing much of anything.
00:28:38.000And so this guy came along and said, oh, Democrats are being dumb.
00:28:42.000We can just pass this five-page bill and it'll show that we're totally way better than the left.
00:28:47.000And now all of the Jews will vote for Trump this fall and it'll be great.
00:34:01.000The media, the way they've been covering it, you would anticipate Republicans are anti-Semitic.
00:34:07.000The headlines have actually been largely sympathetic to our argument, believe it or not.
00:34:11.000The New York Times, like, I mean, if you just look at it, you look at some of the articles, they're kind of saying, like, right-wingers caution about this bill that is really poorly written.
00:34:21.000It's like the New York Times article, you're like, that's not like a normal New York Times article at all.
00:34:27.000They don't know what to do because the radical progressives hate it for obvious reasons.
00:36:41.000It's just what I would urge all conservatives, especially nominal conservatives in Congress to do, is to remember that as conservatives, we care about ideas, we care about principles, and we care about the actual text of the Constitution for reasons above, like as a vehicle to obtain power.
00:37:05.000So if someone says, yo, this bill might violate the Bill of Rights, you should at least take them seriously and read the text of the bill, especially if it's only five pages long.
00:37:18.000So James Lindsay, who's a great friend, says this.
00:37:20.000IDK who needs to hear this, but House Republicans did not just vote to make the New Testament illegal, but we're going to watch a lot of people get radicalized to believe they did.
00:37:27.000How should you respond to that, Blake?
00:37:29.000I think there's this weird desire to downplay this when it's just obviously a bad bill.
00:37:36.000And is it likely that the worst possible outcomes will come to pass?
00:37:51.000The best case scenario that they are selling us on then is that this is a symbolic bill.
00:37:56.000You should never, one, I don't think you should pass symbolic bills generally, but two, if you are, it should have a giant sign up top that says, this is purely symbolic.
00:38:32.000So they find someone who breaks it and go.
00:38:34.000Yeah, but we like to use Canada as an example of bad things that can happen.
00:38:37.000So in the 1980s, Canada passed their kind of new constitution, Charter of Rights and Freedoms, I think they call it.
00:38:43.000And I'm sure when they passed that, everyone was told this will not have any of those extreme outcomes you worry about.
00:38:49.000And in the early 2000s, they started using it to sue and prosecute pastors who opposed gay marriage and such.
00:38:57.000Like if they read verses, publicly read verses from the Bible that condemned homosexuality, they got in trouble.
00:39:03.000They were prohibited on distributing literature or preaching.
00:39:06.000And that's just a great example to go to of thing that was definitely never ever going to happen happened, and it just took 20 years.
00:39:13.000So what's America going to be like in 20 years?
00:39:15.000If you don't know, don't pass laws that can be used by those people.
00:39:18.000Well, here's what I do know: is if the Democrats take over the presidency, they take over the Senate and they take over the House, we're going to see things that are so ugly with the demolition of the Constitution.
00:39:35.000And all of these things are going to be used against that.
00:39:38.000And we talk about this all the time with PPP stuff.
00:39:41.000Conservatives who took PPP money, I think they're going to have to live with that for the rest of their lives.
00:39:46.000Literally, the Democrats are going to come after them.
00:39:48.000Democrats will come after you for every little thing, every large thing, and they're going to destroy the Constitution in the meantime.
00:39:55.000Because also, one of the benefits from going after people with a little stupid stuff like this is that they can do big things in the background because our eyes taken off the bar.
00:41:21.000One point yesterday in the quad, that flag was taken down and replaced by a Palestinian flag.
00:41:29.000And it was surrounded by, it looked like about 100 of the pro-Palestinian activists.
00:41:35.000Well, shortly after that, the cops came in and they cleared those people out and they took down the flag and they put up old glory just as it had been.
00:42:36.000And I'm telling you, on the Turning Point Action side, we're going to have some big announcements in the fall, right, Tyler?
00:42:40.000We're going to be having ballot, bring your ballot events with frat boys marching people with ballots in the midst of October in Arizona and in Wisconsin and in Michigan to get that frat boy energy.
00:42:52.000Literally, we have ideas because it's 75 feet.
00:42:55.000You can't campaign with a 75-feet perimeter.
00:43:01.000So we're going to draw like, you know, 100 feet outside of the drop box and we'll just have an event with like a bunch of young alpha men at ASU and be like, hey, come get a picture of Charlie or Don Jr. of a Vaik and bring your ballot.
00:43:11.000If you bring a ballot, you get a picture and do that for three weeks straight.
00:43:25.000This is right after another big student protest.
00:43:29.000It was Nixon announced that he was bombing Cambodia in the Vietnam War.
00:43:33.000There were a ton of student strikes, student protests, student occupations.
00:43:37.000The Kent State shooting happens around now.
00:43:39.000And there's a major protest in New York City.
00:43:43.000And what happens is a thousand demonstrators, like a bunch of office workers and blue-collar workers, so guys wearing hard hats, show up with American flags chanting pro-USA slogans, and they get in a fight with all of the students.
00:43:57.000And Richard Nixon invites these hard hat guys to the White House.
00:44:01.000And two years later, he wins 49 out of 50 states.
00:44:06.000And then I assume everything worked out for him after that.
00:44:08.000And nothing bad happened to Nixon after that.
00:44:12.000Jack, young men are going to save America.
00:44:15.000I believe politically this is a glitch in the polling matrix.
00:44:18.000We're seeing it in macropollinghill.com, young boys most conservative been in 50 years.
00:44:23.000We see this with micro experiences on campus.
00:44:27.000And if it manifests, Donald Trump does five or six points better in Dane County, Wisconsin, UW-Madison.
00:44:34.000If he does five or six points better at NAU, U of A, or ASU in Arizona, Joe Biden's going to have major problems.
00:44:42.000Look, if you're the GOP right now watching this, you've got to go back.
00:44:47.000I don't understand why the GOP stopped courting fraternities to begin with.
00:44:52.000This was something that the GOP did for years, by the way, even up through the 2000s, even back when I first started doing field work with Republican parties, that it was very clear that we would work with frats all the time to do stuff like this, including, by the way, voter registration and A.B. Chase, which is what ballot chasing kind of used to be called, A.B. Chase, and absentee ballot chasing.
00:45:14.000And so it's very clear this is a natural alliance.
00:45:18.000I mean, I kind of get it that Republicans became sort of not cool during the Bush years and neocons and sort of like the Nambi Pamby and just the physical swishiness and softness and fat-headed and fat-ide people of the neocons and like the Eric Erickson types just really kind of drove away a lot of the frat guys.
00:45:40.000That's something where this is an energy that Donald Trump has very much brought back.
00:45:45.000And if you're the GOP right now, you've got to be asking, what are the biggest fraternities on the biggest campuses in the swing states that I should be working out with?
00:45:53.000These are the guys that we should be working with to staff our field offices, come up with programs for them, give them credit, whatever it is that they need to get a leg up.
00:46:49.000Because there are so many elements of liberal culture that have been pro-Israel.
00:46:54.000And now you've got this like the last 10 years, we've been part of this and really suppressing the anti-Israel on campus narrative.
00:47:03.000And so a lot of people are going like, wait, that's confusing.
00:47:06.000Then you have rappers coming out supporting Trump.
00:47:09.000You have RFK in the race, who right now is polling ahead of Joe Biden significantly with young people in the under-30 category.
00:47:19.000So you have this really everything's coming together right now that's happening on campus with young people in particular.
00:47:26.000You have parents who are really concerned about their kids getting out of the house after they turn 21, 22, getting out of college, that they don't want to bring them back in and have to have them within the household.
00:47:38.000So I think you have this coming together of like four or five different things that's actually culminating in a really bad scenario for Democrats.
00:47:48.000And so this is why I said I tweeted out just this last week.
00:47:51.000I think they're going to, and they know, number one, two, that we're actually figuring things out on the right in these key target states.
00:47:58.000They're going to have to do really radical, radical things between now and October.
00:48:03.000Well, I mean, I think, I actually think that, I mean, I don't know.
00:48:12.000I'll let Blake into speculation about how civil war is going to break out here, but because he's a big believer in it.
00:48:18.000But I mean, look, they're going to have to do radical stuff to overcome not just one or two narratives, but like four or five narratives with their key target base.
00:48:36.000And I've been saying this a lot, and this is the reason why, and Jack, you know, and I have sparred over RFK's influence on ballots he's going to pull away.
00:48:45.000Even if he pulls a little bit more away from Trump than he does from Biden, the problem for Democrats is that they don't have a base to chase.
00:48:55.000Because we're looking at, and the base to chase is really important.
00:48:58.000In the black community, we just were looking at these numbers.
00:49:01.000The polling numbers are showing that if you haven't ever voted in elections as a black American, you're about 35% likely to vote for Trump.
00:49:10.000Well, they can't just randomly pluck black people now to vote for Democrats.
00:49:15.000Young people now, the polling is showing that they are leaning more towards Trump than they are Joe Biden, and certainly towards RFK over Joe Biden.
00:49:25.000So they can't just pluck a young person now.
00:49:27.000So they're running out of groups to go chase votes, particularly in Arizona, Wisconsin, Georgia, other places, Nevada.
00:49:34.000And that spells really bad things for them.
00:49:36.000So they have to do something extraordinarily radical to try to influence the election ahead of October.
00:50:05.000Someone does point out, and I think this is true, is I think the way that the frat bros are swerving, there's really a divide that is happening.
00:50:14.000He says it comes down to the left is cringe now.
00:50:21.000And I think on top of that, the left is, it's like visually disgusting.
00:50:26.000The most appealing thing about these frat boys is you look at them with the flag and they're non-obese.
00:50:32.000They basically know how to dress properly.
00:50:35.000They have normal haircuts with normal hair colors.
00:50:38.000They don't have bizarre tattoos upon their face or upon their entire sleeve of their arm.
00:50:45.000And I think a real split, a real division that is coming in American politics is essentially the divide between people who, if you made a photo of them black and white, it would look like a photo from the old times and people who literally look like a goblin or an orc or some sort of CGI monstrosity.
00:51:04.000And in the long run, even though America has some bad trends, I think there's a lot of desire to have a society of normal-looking people who can live normal lives and be functional.
00:51:35.000I don't know how bad it was in, was it 2018 or 2019?
00:51:38.000The kids from Kentucky, I'm totally spacing.
00:51:41.000Covington and Covington and the Nicholas Sandman.
00:51:44.000Like, all that they had of them was a video of them basically chanting USA or something like that and smiling awkward, and one guy smiling awkwardly near that elder guy banging Nicholas Sandman.
00:51:56.000And, well, I don't can't remember the elders guy.
00:52:32.000There's also, well, just to pick up where Blake left off, it is a huge shift, but I would argue that it's a shift that's been in the works for a decade at this point.
00:52:41.000Because what are we one decade from what happened 10 years ago in the summer of 2014 was the UVA rape hoax.
00:52:51.000The Rolling Stone case that came out, which really was the start of the Me Too movement, which was when so much of wokeness kicked off, when the wokes really took over, when Greek life was pretty much either destroyed or ultimately neutralized and cucked all across America.
00:53:12.000And now, like, the Me Too movement has crested.
00:53:16.000The wokeness has turned the corners, specifically in Hollywood and some of the other places, if you're looking closely.
00:53:25.000CRT is pretty much defeated at this point.
00:53:28.000It's still limping on, but nobody's taking it seriously or really championing it in the public square.
00:53:33.000And now, all of a sudden, the Frat Boys are back, and the Frat Boys are asserting themselves on campuses and being applauded for asserting themselves on campus.
00:53:46.000And I said earlier on Twitter, the reintroduction of Frat Boys on campus is like the reintroduction of Wolves to Yellowstone in order to rebalance the ecosystem.
00:53:58.000Well, and like 10 years ago, too, Jack, was really the attacks on frat boy culture was because of the Me Too movement was really an attack on frat boy culture.
00:54:09.000And this is where, and it's really interesting.
00:54:12.000This is in the womb of this was like Barstool was born As this alternative media and outside media because the world hated everything about these people, and so people, normal people, alternative media, went to that type of a thing, and it was really looked at poorly, especially within normal culture on a college campus.
00:54:38.000These kids now, it's like Newton's pendulum.
00:54:42.000Where the pendulum swings back with the thing was like the entire motion is coming back now where people are like, I am so sick and tired of seeing like this stuff I don't agree with that just like feels good with BLM, with everything else, like these nasty, ugly, horrible human beings are just screeching at the top of their lungs on college campuses.
00:55:05.000And like these kids are just, again, I think the Sandman comparison is like they're just quiet, quietly standing there defending the flag.
00:55:13.000And some of them are quipping and saying some funny stuff, right?
00:55:16.000But like in general, like they're getting screamed at by these hordes of people that most Americans have no association with, and they can relate way more to the kids defending the flag.
00:55:27.000And that's a huge problem for the left.
00:58:29.000You're supposed to hate that they're men.
00:58:30.000You're supposed to hate that they're standing up against a power structure using their testosterone and using courage because they don't know how it's going to work out.
00:59:57.000Well, no, I do want to talk about kids, actually, Blake, because there is a quick addendum to this that you and I were chatting about beforehand.
01:00:03.000And we were talking about not just colleges and the reintroduction of frat boys, but also about the reintroduction of bullies, in a sense, to sort of the high school, middle school culture.
01:00:16.000And so this is something where bullies were removed through anti-bullying programs.
01:00:21.000And because of this, what we get are, you know, these school programs where something goes wrong and someone says something and it all gets reported up to the teacher.
01:00:30.000It all gets reported up to the council.
01:00:32.000It all gets reported up to the principal.
01:00:34.000And nobody is actually ever dealing with conflict directly anymore.
01:00:39.000And so you teach people these learned helplessness of, oh, I can't, you know, deal with anything interpersonally or directly because there's no bullies to overcome.
01:00:49.000I've got to go complain and file the complaint and write a report about it.
01:00:53.000And it has to go to some committee rather than actually having people deal with things on their own.
01:00:58.000And I've said for years, this has led to stunted growth.
01:01:02.000And so I would support some reasonable, you know, reintroduction of bullies into the ecosystem, even at a younger level.
01:01:12.000Here's what's the craziest part about this entire thing with the defending the flag and everything else.
01:01:17.000It wasn't that many years ago, right, that we had like literally the left and the entire country worked up into a frenzy on kneeling for Colin Kaepernick, Colin Kaepernick, everything else.
01:01:30.000And the right right now is, you know, busy doing idiotic stuff in Congress and everything else.
01:01:37.000Like, this is the perfect opportunity for leaders of this country to come out and say, wow, what an incredible job.
01:01:46.000Like, instead of like waiting for the New York Times to attack these kids, give them a hero's welcome, talk about this, and put this in the face of Americans and say, just a few years ago, we were kneeling on flags and throwing flags down on campus.
01:02:00.000And we have people, look how far this has gone.
01:02:04.000We have people, kids that were raised right that are defending the flag, and this is what we should be doing.
01:02:08.000That's what we should be doing, leadership.
01:02:10.000I want to tell you guys about the wellness company.
01:02:13.000It's an amazing kit, the contagion emergency kit.
01:02:17.000The U.S. government has collaborated with Chinese scientists again on a project aimed at making certain strains of the avian flu more infectious and more deadly.
01:02:25.000And eyes are on the University of Wisconsin while they run gain of function research on this brood bird flu strain.
01:02:31.000So, what do we think will happen next?
01:02:33.000Well, someone gets infected with the bird flu, of course, and then shockingly, scientists begin saying that this particular bird flu strain could be 100 times worse than COVID.
01:02:41.000So, how long until forced masks, forced lockdowns, forced vaccinations?
01:02:45.000Is this all to usher in the WHO pandemic treaty?
01:02:48.000We can speculate all day, but we do know is the medical tyrants are far from done with us.
01:03:05.000Americans are waking up and understanding that now more than ever, we need these life-saving medications on hand.
01:03:10.000The only of its kind, this prescription emergency kit from the wellness company, provides you with a carefully selected assortment of effective medications for bird flu, COVID-19, and other respiratory illnesses, ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine.
01:03:21.000Every American should have at least one of these kits in their home, backed by research from experts like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Harvey Risch.
01:03:29.000The wellness company's contagion emergency kit is a must-have.
01:03:31.000So, check it out right now at twc.health/slash CJ and use promo code CJ for 10% off plus free shipping at checkout.
01:03:38.000U.S. scientists are doing some bad stuff right now, so check it out and be prepared.
01:03:43.000Well, we have two options: we could talk about the fertility crash, or we could talk about the bullet crashing into Christy Noam's dog's head.
01:03:52.000I think the fertility one's a good set.
01:03:54.000I mean, I think the dog thing, let me just the dog thing we could do very simply.
01:03:58.000I'll just read the Politico headline of politico.com right now: Christy Gnome's VP chances appear as dead as the dog she killed.
01:05:40.000Or it's the lowest number of babies since 1979.
01:05:43.000I believe is the lowest fertility rate ever recorded in the U.S.
01:05:47.000And it pairs with another interesting data point that we just looked up because what I think is very common is, you know, with the populist right is they'll present this as an economic problem.
01:06:00.000People are having fewer kids because housing is expensive, because they're getting these college degrees and they're in a ton of debt.
01:06:07.000And so it's all costly and difficult to have a family.
01:06:10.000But what I looked up and I found really interesting, and it's 132, yeah, it's on screen there, is if you look at the number of kids by income group, and you will see it is highest for people who have more money, but it's an extremely high amount of money.
01:06:25.000It's people making over a million dollars per year.
01:06:29.000If you are making $500,000 to a million dollars per year, you still have only about 1.85 kids.
01:06:38.000You're still having fewer kids than people who make $25,000 a year.
01:06:45.000The lowest number of kids is in the group of people who are making over $200,000.
01:06:49.000Even they're having less than people who make half as much as they do.
01:06:54.000And so I feel like we talk a lot about the economic reasons people don't have kids, but I think we're struggling to grapple with the real phenomenon, which is we have kind of culturally killed off the idea of having large families.
01:07:09.000People don't want to have kids, and it's going to destroy America.
01:07:49.000It was gone from like 2.3 in the 1960s, went down to 1.8.
01:07:54.000I don't think it ever broke under 1.8, but now it's back up to 1.94.
01:07:58.000So for families who choose to have kids is what I'm talking about, the rate has been somewhat steady.
01:08:05.000The rate that's increased is the families that have decided to no longer have kids or people who are not getting married in general.
01:08:13.000So you've got a rise of something that's completely new in America, the dink couple, so double income, no kids.
01:08:19.000And then also the rise of simply, or I should say, the decline in marriage rates.
01:08:25.000And so you've got, this is really something where I know there's a lot of people who want to run around and just point to one thing and say, oh, it's video games or, oh, it's weed or oh, it's porn or oh, it's easy access to abortion.
01:08:36.000And the real, you know, it's women's liberation.
01:08:47.000One thing that I do think we should talk about, though, is economy, because it's certainly something that gets left out of the conversation a lot.
01:08:53.000Economy does play a role, as does, by the way, the high levels of immigration that America is currently receiving.
01:08:59.000High levels of immigration lead to downward pressure on wages, downward and upward pressure on the housing market.
01:09:06.000This in turn makes it harder for people to have money in terms of real wages.
01:09:11.000And it gives us the housing crisis that we are currently in.
01:09:14.000And so AOC, I remember, made this point.
01:09:16.000And a lot of people make this point all the time in the immigration debate.
01:09:21.000Elon Musk says it all the time, even though I've been correcting him and he's getting better at it.
01:09:25.000They keep saying we need more immigrants because the birth rate is down, but they're not actually assessing the fact that the high immigration rate is actually depressing our birth rate.
01:09:38.000I think what actually, a reason that that is the case is I think really high, when you have really high immigration and you can see the community around you changing extremely rapidly, it sort of breaks the cultural script that you live in.
01:09:56.000It's an interesting phenomenon because we can sort of see this.
01:09:59.000They've tried to study this in individual villages in India because you'll have villages in India that have like high birth rates and ones that have very low birth rates.
01:10:08.000And it's like when you break up the narratives that give society its force.
01:10:14.000And so I think it's actually probably lots of diversity, lots of change, technological and social and so on.
01:10:21.000It makes people feel detached from everything.
01:10:24.000They don't get what their role in the world is.
01:10:26.000And it's that feeling of having a role in a greater whole that makes you want to perpetuate it and makes you pair off with someone and have a family and keep it all going.
01:10:42.000And when you live in that and you feel like you're not living for anything, it's very easy to just check out and say, yeah, what matters most is like have a lot of fun and then punch your ticket out.
01:10:53.000Oh, I was just going to say, I think social media plays such a role into that.
01:10:56.000I think Instagram alone has, I don't know what the rates look like since Instagram came out, but like with women who generally wear the pants in the relationship when it comes to determining when births are going to happen, I hear they have a big part in that.
