Summary

In this episode, I sit down with journalist and political activist Ami Horowitz to discuss the current state of the Democratic Party and why it needs to take a hard look in the mirror. Ami has been a journalist for over 30 years and is now running for President of the United States as a Democrat.

00:00:00.000 The search for truth used to be a noble enterprise.
00:00:04.840 The pursuit of truth inspired everyone from the great philosophers of the ancient world of Greece
00:00:11.240 to the Christians during the first Great Awakening,
00:00:14.800 and even the scientists of Silicon Valley find the truth.
00:00:18.960 But today, truth is no longer the metric or the standard that anyone is striving for.
00:00:23.920 Truth now is relative. Truth must be politically correct.
00:00:28.460 The search of and the pursuit of what is true has now become taboo in far too many places
00:00:35.320 in not only this country, but the rest of the world.
00:00:38.320 The rest of the world is now telling people, conform and carry on.
00:00:43.440 This isn't who we are or who any human was born to be.
00:00:48.380 I'm really excited about today's guest because he's made exposing the truth his lifelong mission,
00:00:53.580 and he has gone into some very dangerous subjects.
00:00:57.540 He's covered everything. He has taken on the UN and exposed the dirt of the UN.
00:01:03.340 He took on the ISIS empathy or sympathy in the college campuses.
00:01:08.720 Anti-Semitism. He has traveled to Sweden, where he was almost killed.
00:01:13.060 Traveled to Sweden, exposing the ramifications of progressive border policies and mass immigration.
00:01:18.080 He embedded with South American migrant caravans.
00:01:20.400 He was the first to expose who the organizers really were.
00:01:24.320 He even has now decided to run for president of the United States as a Democrat.
00:01:29.200 He's always been an independent, but he's running now as a Democrat because, quote,
00:01:33.200 all of their current candidates are insane.
00:01:36.140 Even if you're a Democrat, he'll make a good case of that when you hear his explanation,
00:01:41.320 the definition of insanity.
00:01:43.260 Whether he wins or loses, as is always the case with everything that he does,
00:01:48.160 he will leave more enlightened, and so will everyone around him.
00:01:53.320 The pursuit of truth.
00:01:55.860 Next.
00:01:56.320 So, Ami, I have to start with this because you're an independent and always have been.
00:02:14.420 Never been a Republican?
00:02:17.020 Probably not technically, but I've still voted Republican.
00:02:20.440 And you voted Democrat?
00:02:22.680 Sometimes, sometimes.
00:02:23.480 And your folks were kind of like that.
00:02:26.740 Yeah.
00:02:27.440 Yeah, that's fair to say.
00:02:29.720 We were more about ideology than party.
00:02:33.420 My kind of mantra is country over party.
00:02:35.980 Party doesn't mean anything to me.
00:02:37.240 I mean, it's all about the issues and where people's positions are.
00:02:40.700 And some are, and no single party has a monopoly on, I think, the right answer.
00:02:46.060 Right.
00:02:46.160 Although, I shouldn't say one party, but one wing of this bird is flying straighter than the other.
00:02:58.420 The Democratic wing is.
00:03:01.420 It's insane.
00:03:02.340 It's not even the same.
00:03:04.140 It's not the Democratic Party, even of Obama.
00:03:09.400 No, I don't think, I'm not even sure Obama could win the nomination with his positions.
00:03:13.720 Remember, Obama initially was against gay marriage.
00:03:15.980 I know.
00:03:16.140 I mean, that wasn't like, that wasn't like eons ago.
00:03:18.580 That was several years ago.
00:03:19.980 I know.
00:03:20.200 How old were you in 2008?
00:03:21.300 I know.
00:03:22.180 It's crazy.
00:03:23.380 So, you're running because you want to be in the debate, but not as a disruptor.
00:03:30.120 No, I have things to say.
00:03:31.140 I have important things to say that the country needs to know.
00:03:33.740 And frankly, I think the Democratic Party needs to know.
00:03:36.280 I think they need to take a really hard look in the mirror.
00:03:39.040 I think what they're going to see coming back at them, they're not going to like.
00:03:41.800 Because they're so out of step.
00:03:45.980 With never mind the whole country.
00:03:49.120 I'm talking about they're out of step with most people in their own party.
00:03:52.080 And they just can't even see it.
00:03:53.900 They honestly, they can't see what's happening.
00:03:56.120 They have, you know, I talked to Joe Lieberman recently.
00:03:59.300 And he said, Glenn, the people that I know still in the Democratic Party and the leadership in the, you know, not the crazy leaders, but the good, decent Democrats.
00:04:12.440 He said they are terrified of the new Democrats.
00:04:16.500 He said they don't dare step out of line because they know what will happen to them.
00:04:24.900 Like the French Revolution.
00:04:26.100 It is.
00:04:26.920 That's exactly what it's like.
00:04:28.040 Yeah, it is.
00:04:28.520 So let's start with a couple of things.
00:04:35.120 I want to go through your mission statement, if you will.
00:04:41.160 You say the United States is facing a crossroads that goes in startingly different directions.
00:04:48.380 We are a country with deep ideological differences.
00:04:51.220 And both sides of the aisle are trying to frame their choices as binary, but they are not.
00:04:55.620 Yeah, I mean, that's exactly right.
00:04:58.520 It's either or it's, you know, it's look, there's clear that you made the point you're correct about.
00:05:04.560 There are two parties and they are different, but there is one that's moving, bless you, in a far more radical position than the other ones.
00:05:13.500 No problem.
00:05:14.380 And but there's no again, no party has a monopoly on good ideas.
00:05:19.140 And I think there are some good ideas in both parties.
00:05:21.760 When did we become this country where you couldn't say, like, I remember in the 90s, I lived in Connecticut.
00:05:30.600 Joe Lieberman was great.
00:05:32.460 Some of the other people were not great in for Connecticut.
00:05:37.140 You know what I mean?
00:05:37.940 Yeah.
00:05:38.100 And I probably voted for Joe Lieberman at, you know, in the early 1990s and didn't have a problem with it because it wasn't a vote against everything you stand for.
00:05:52.960 Now, even in the Republican Party, if you don't toe the line, it's not nearly as bad as the Democrats.
00:05:59.980 But if you don't toe the line, even with things that the Republicans have stood against trade, you stand against trade wars.
00:06:09.300 Well, now, if you don't speak highly of trade wars, you're trouble.
00:06:15.080 When did we become this?
00:06:16.580 How did we become this?
00:06:17.600 Or better yet, how do we reverse this?
00:06:19.760 Yeah, my teachers will tell you I was never a toe the line kind of guy.
00:06:23.880 Yeah.
00:06:25.100 Look, it's reversible.
00:06:27.240 There's no question about it.
00:06:28.140 I think this situation of how polarized we've become, and there's no question about it, we've become radically polarized.
00:06:35.980 But I think the important thing to note is the polarization, I find, is really more at the political levels.
00:06:43.020 And they're not the grassroots levels.
00:06:45.300 And yeah, OK, I live in the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
00:06:47.160 So yeah, that's a very polarized area, and there are people who live in a very, very red country where it's more polarized.
00:06:53.040 But if you go to most of the country and ask most people, they don't think that way.
00:06:57.100 First of all, it's not even like the major issue for them, politics, on a daily basis.
00:07:01.080 Their daily basis is...
00:07:01.960 It shouldn't be.
00:07:02.600 And it shouldn't.
00:07:03.120 Exactly right.
00:07:03.720 It shouldn't be.
00:07:04.100 And I think the more you make politics part of who you are, the more polarized you become.
00:07:10.800 Right.
00:07:11.100 And I think that it's important.
00:07:12.140 Let's take a step back and say, this is not the end of the world, right?
00:07:15.420 This is...
00:07:15.900 The next election is not going to define who we are as a country for the next hundred years,
00:07:19.940 even though it's often framed that way.
00:07:22.340 And it's not good to frame it that way.
00:07:24.060 Isn't the polarization really a result of, if we don't win, the country is doomed?
00:07:35.520 Yes.
00:07:36.040 I mean, that's what we were thinking with Hillary Clinton.
00:07:38.660 That's what they're thinking now with Donald Trump.
00:07:40.680 And so it's like, I don't care.
00:07:43.220 So you can push things that are much more radical.
00:07:46.640 I mean, I don't think that the Democratic voter, the average Democratic voter, is for socialism
00:07:54.260 and the end of the free market.
00:07:55.820 Not even remotely so.
00:07:57.240 Right.
00:07:57.940 And, but they can push that because they can say, mmm, fire, bad.
00:08:04.480 And they point to Donald Trump.
00:08:06.300 Right.
00:08:07.180 And so you'll accept it because you don't like that.
00:08:11.140 So I'll take this, even though we're getting to a point now,
00:08:15.000 it stands against everything you believe in.
00:08:18.840 I agree.
00:08:19.620 Look, I was not a fan of President Trump when he was running.
00:08:23.080 I didn't vote for him.
00:08:25.660 And I was one of those people saying, this is, this is going to be awful if he becomes president.
00:08:29.500 And the truth is, he became president and he became a relatively mainline Republican.
00:08:34.060 If you look at his policies, separate the rhetoric, which is, granted, hard to do.
00:08:38.740 Correct.
00:08:39.220 But I've learned, I think you've learned, and others to compartmentalize this president.
00:08:42.880 Yes.
00:08:43.160 Um, what we've seen is that his policies have been relatively mainline Republicanism.
00:08:49.820 I think the difference being, um.
00:08:51.620 And in some cases, uh, in some cases, what he's trying to do with, with, um, you know,
00:08:57.720 prescriptions and having other countries, you know, dictate what we pay here, negotiate for it.
00:09:03.780 That's, that's not Republican, uh, trade tariffs.
00:09:08.040 That's not Republican.
00:09:09.580 I mean, he's really, he, if it was any other guy, I think the Democrats, or any other time, the Democrats would go, I like this guy.
00:09:21.480 I mean, it's crazy to say that, but I'm not sure so far from the truth.
00:09:26.280 Right.
00:09:26.540 They would have been for Israel.
00:09:27.940 They would be for the trade tariffs.
00:09:31.060 They'd be for his big government kind of ideas.
00:09:34.320 In any other time, even eight years ago, they would have been for his border policy or much of it.
00:09:40.840 Not necessarily, you know, shut down all immigration, but get control of the border.
00:09:46.360 They were, they were talking that eight, 10 years ago themselves.
00:09:49.720 I've always been a fan of blind resume tests and just say, you know, here, here, here are some positions.
00:09:54.700 And you tell me what you agree with taking the names off the people who hold those positions.
00:09:58.000 And I think you're right.
00:09:58.840 I think if you had a blinded resume of what the president has done in the last two years and showed it to, again, like a sensible Democrat,
00:10:07.240 I think they'd look at it and say, yeah, I kind of agree with most of those things.
00:10:09.700 Certainly a Republican would, no question about it.
00:10:12.280 I mean, 20%, I said 20% or 30% of the people who voted for Donald Trump were Democrats, voted for Obama at least once.
00:10:21.760 And by the way, a third of Hispanics voted for the president, which is, you know, to go back to that trade war thing for a moment.
00:10:28.180 Look, he was clear about the direction he was going to go in when he was running.
00:10:32.920 He said he didn't hide.
00:10:34.260 He doesn't hide the ball.
00:10:36.600 And so I'm of two minds.
00:10:38.560 Look, obviously, I believe we moved back into mercantilism.
00:10:44.060 That's not good for our country.
00:10:45.120 That would destroy our economy.
00:10:46.480 We destroy the innovation that we are.
00:10:48.240 Right.
00:10:48.380 That's not a policy that we want.
00:10:49.660 I'm not certain that's the policy he's trying to pursue.
00:10:52.380 I kind of think that he is a blunt object.
00:10:55.420 And he's basically playing chicken with the Chinese and saying, because he's right about, in general, where his policies are on the Chinese.
00:11:03.340 Right.
00:11:03.560 The Chinese are eating our lunch.
00:11:05.520 OK, they're stealing from us left and right.
00:11:07.800 Yeah, they're bad players.
00:11:08.820 They're bad players.
00:11:10.220 And the WTO, they don't care about trade norms.
00:11:15.920 OK, they're going to do whatever they feel is in the best interest of their country.
00:11:19.020 They don't care about patents.
00:11:20.240 They don't care about copyright.
00:11:21.780 Nothing.
00:11:21.800 It's meaningless to them.
00:11:22.660 So I think it is important that we show them that this is not the way we're going to, a policy we're going to continue to pursue.
00:11:29.120 Because it's madness.
00:11:29.900 We can't continue down this road.
00:11:31.660 And so I like that he took a hard line with them.
00:11:34.900 Look, I'm not a tariff expert.
00:11:38.440 And I don't know.
00:11:39.740 And by the way, I'm not sure anybody is.
00:11:41.200 I don't think we've seen this type of tariff war in a long time.
00:11:44.480 So we don't know what the net result will be.
00:11:45.760 It may very well be, the Chinese say, look, the Chinese have more to lose than we do.
00:11:51.640 Their economy is far more sensitive to this kind of trade war than ours is, for a whole variety of reasons.
00:11:58.080 And I'm not sure.
00:11:59.640 I think he might be right that they can't, they're not going to be able to stomach this for much longer.
00:12:04.420 But I don't like it.
00:12:05.340 I don't like it as a general policy for our economy.
00:12:09.880 Free market changed the world.
00:12:11.220 Exactly.
00:12:11.680 Free market changed the world.
00:12:15.760 Let me take you to another place I think the Democratic voter is not at, not for.
00:12:31.660 And that is this really rabid anti-Semitism.
00:12:38.760 We've had Ilhan Omar say some really horrible things.
00:12:43.600 It's the Democrats backed off.
00:12:46.540 Care stepped in and Nancy Pelosi and the leadership, they backed off on saying anything.
00:12:52.400 Rashida Tlaib comes out and she says, I feel this sense of calm, this, this sense of peace when I think of the Holocaust.
00:13:00.540 Then she goes on and people are saying, oh, they took it out of context.
00:13:04.480 No, no, no.
00:13:06.320 She's changing history.
00:13:08.000 She is trying to make it appear as though it was the Palestinians who gave up their land so the Jews could have a safe space.
00:13:19.040 But that's not true.
00:13:23.500 And the Democrats are rallying around her, rallying around all of them.
00:13:29.500 What is happening there?
00:13:34.520 I mean, the only feeling I have is profound sadness.
00:13:39.940 What we're seeing with the Democratic Party when it comes to Israel, one, and then Jews.
00:13:47.280 I mean, it's so weird to say that.
00:13:50.020 Like, the Jews are a topic of debate.
00:13:53.440 What's there?
00:13:53.920 I don't understand what the debate.
00:13:55.020 I mean, the fact that we're discussing anti-Semitism writ large and the defense of anti-Semitism across the Democratic Party.
00:14:04.580 I mean, when Rashida Tlaib made her really despicable comments.
00:14:08.300 OK, never mind that they're historically ignorant and they're incorrect.
00:14:12.320 Just despicable comments.
00:14:14.700 You haven't had, I don't know of a single Democratic voice.
00:14:18.460 Certainly not anybody.
00:14:19.340 The Democrats running for president who said these problems are these comments are problematic.
00:14:24.140 You're seeing a full-throated defense of her.
00:14:27.580 You're seeing go on Seth Meyers.
00:14:29.540 OK, and he has a TV show and he's sitting there saying on NBC and he's saying, I'm so glad you came to get your perspective.
00:14:36.280 I'm so glad you're here.
00:14:37.780 So glad of what you're doing.
00:14:39.680 I mean, these are open anti-Semites.
00:14:41.960 Glenn, this is not a debate on Israel or Israeli policy, which is fair to have.
00:14:46.980 Of course, you can have a debate on Israeli policy.
00:14:49.220 It does not make you un-American to disagree with our policy on any state, including Israel.
00:14:57.500 Absolutely.
00:14:58.780 But there are lines that once you cross, you're either playing with anti-Semitism or you're just in the open anti-Semitic field.
00:15:07.500 Well, they said that Donald Trump was playing with the anti-Semites and he was just placating them.
00:15:13.580 That I disagree with.
00:15:16.320 But if that was true, these guys have married the anti-Semites.
00:15:21.760 I mean, the hypocrisy across the Democratic platform is incredible.
00:15:27.060 Look, I remember 12 years ago when I first started talking about you are going to see the rise of 1930s style anti-Semitism in America because it happens every time there's a rise of socialism.
00:15:43.600 And this country will be a national socialist movement.
00:15:47.520 I was I was I was torn apart by everybody, just everybody, especially the Jewish community.
00:15:56.220 Well, now you're seeing it.
00:15:59.820 What happened to those Democrats?
00:16:03.540 That have always been not necessarily Israel.
00:16:08.660 But friends to the Jews.
00:16:11.260 What happened?
00:16:12.660 They're dancing to the tunes of the radicals.
00:16:15.320 That's what they're doing.
00:16:16.140 Look, do I think Nancy Pelosi's anti-Semite?
00:16:18.720 Of course, she's not anti-Semite.
00:16:20.320 OK, but the reality is, you know, this is what the truth is.
00:16:24.180 That when Ilana Marr made her openly anti-Semitic comments about Jews.
00:16:29.000 Right.
00:16:29.240 And it's not debatable.
00:16:30.080 There was anti-Semitic comments.
00:16:31.540 She gave her cover.
00:16:32.680 That's the reality.
00:16:33.740 That's the truth.
00:16:34.660 I'm sorry to say it, but it is.
00:16:36.560 She's dancing to their tune because the radicals have taken over the Democratic Party.
00:16:40.480 So who controls it?
00:16:42.440 Nancy Pelosi.
00:16:43.260 Because the party opened this can of radicalism and said, let's just unite with anybody who we can unite with.
00:16:58.000 OK, and so they open that radical can knowing full well.
00:17:03.060 But I really, truly believe that the party leadership went, well, we'll be able to stuff them back into that can.
00:17:09.560 No, we're now at the place to where you have to ask what crawled out of that can or what opened that can.
00:17:17.900 Which one is controlling which?
00:17:21.600 And I think it's the can.
00:17:23.280 OK, I lost your metaphor there.
00:17:25.140 Somewhere between the can and the other can.
00:17:27.400 But I see you.
00:17:27.960 I get your point.
00:17:29.060 And look, who's running the party?
00:17:30.900 I mean, you can't make a list of party leaders and people without putting AOC on that list.
00:17:35.620 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez clearly is one of the leaders of the party.
00:17:38.620 Right.
00:17:38.800 I don't care if she's just a brand new congresswoman.
00:17:40.920 OK, and Bernie Sanders, obviously, I think he's the ideological leader of the Democratic Party.
00:17:46.780 And these are two red radicals.
00:17:50.200 There's no other way to put it.
00:17:51.780 Bernie, do we forget where Bernie Sanders took his honeymoon?
00:17:54.700 No, I know.
00:17:55.160 The Soviet Union.
00:17:56.020 I mean, it sounds like a joke, but it's true.
00:17:58.800 Well, nobody who votes for Bernie Sanders is old enough to remember the Soviet Union.
00:18:03.220 And I'm sure they know, right, that it has no resonance to them, no relevance to them.
00:18:07.020 The only other person that I know of, a prominent name in American history that took a honeymoon over to the Soviet Union, was Lee Harvey Oswald.
00:18:19.360 I don't know anybody else.
00:18:21.440 The historical ignorance that you're referring to is exactly what's led us to where we are now, because they have no frame of reference of what the end result of these policies are.
00:18:30.260 So they're looking at it and saying, oh, socialism sounds great, which, by the way, is exactly what they said 100 years ago, right, prior to the Bolshevik Revolution.
00:18:39.560 It's what sounds great.
00:18:41.300 It's what they said eight years ago before it all started to fall apart in Venezuela.
00:18:47.060 And then as soon as it fell apart in Venezuela, they were like, well, that's not socialism.
00:18:52.460 Wait a minute.
00:18:53.540 You were telling us that everything they were doing was utopian version of socialism.
00:19:02.020 Now that you've run out of other people's money and a dictator has to take control because otherwise he and all the other socialists will be dead.
00:19:11.740 And now you say it's not socialism.
00:19:15.120 It's what happens every single time.
00:19:17.600 One of the scariest videos I've ever done, I've done a whole number of very, very scary ones, but one that frightened me more than most, and that's saying a lot, was after I went to Venezuela, I went to Venezuela and I filmed the horrors that is happening there, you know, in real time.
00:19:32.900 I was there.
00:19:33.640 I mean, I was walking with a guy.
00:19:35.080 We opened the video.
00:19:35.840 I was walking with a guy and I'm like, what are we doing here?
00:19:38.920 It's nighttime in one of the most dangerous areas in Caracas.
00:19:41.740 And Caracas, in the best areas, is one of the most dangerous areas on planet Earth.
00:19:45.620 And he said, there's no more dogs and cats for me to eat in the better areas.
00:19:49.340 I have to go to these dangerous areas to find the dogs and cats to feed my family.
00:19:52.820 And after that experience, where a guy was shot on camera in front of me as a cop looked at him and walked away because the violence is out of control.
00:20:01.560 After that video, I said, I got to see what people are thinking about Venezuela here in the U.S., the left.
00:20:06.760 And I went to NYU and I was telling people what I experienced in Venezuela.
00:20:11.640 I asked them, I said, but the one thing about Venezuela is that everybody suffers equally as opposed to the income inequality that we have here that capitalism, you know, supposedly has brought onto us.
00:20:23.540 And I said, which system do you prefer?
00:20:25.300 They're saying that there's the bread lines, there's violence, but they're all in it equally.
00:20:29.860 And they looked at me and 80% of the kids that I talked to, they'd rather have the Venezuelan economic system than the U.S. economic system.
00:20:36.560 I kid you not.
00:20:37.580 That's where we're at right now.
00:20:39.220 That's where these kids are so ignorant of the realities of the world and of history that they'd actually make a choice to choose Venezuela over the U.S.
00:20:49.900 This is not a joke.
00:20:51.040 They can watch it on, they can watch it on YouTube.
00:20:53.280 It's insanity.
00:20:54.920 Insanity.
00:20:55.360 So how do you get people without any framework of history who have been absolutely indoctrinated that socialism is great, how do you get them to look at the free market?
00:21:25.360 And say, yeah, I want that.
00:21:27.380 If they're saying to you, oh, I'd rather have the inequality of suffering in Venezuela than the inequality of wealth in America, how do you get them to see the light?
00:21:43.200 I have found that people are less jaded than we think they are.
00:21:50.420 And if you're able to present an argument in a cogent way, in a compelling way, in a truthful way, I find when people turn people, I see it all the time.
00:21:59.300 All the time on my videos, I see the comments on YouTube and Facebook.
00:22:02.900 Every day I'll get 10, 12 comments saying, you know what, I'm a liberal.
00:22:06.000 I saw this in a four-minute stunt video you did.
00:22:09.280 You changed my mind on this particular issue.
00:22:11.020 It is absolutely a winning argument because the argument is a winning argument.
00:22:14.460 And this is why I'm running this campaign.
00:22:17.560 I want to go on their stage in their home on television and make that argument that we're talking about right here because it is a winning argument.
00:22:27.680 Look, I said it all along.
00:22:29.060 I don't give one hoot about income inequality.
00:22:32.200 I really don't.
00:22:32.660 I don't care if there are trillionaires.
00:22:34.740 Let there be more trillionaires.
00:22:36.200 It's great for our country.
00:22:37.780 What I care about, the people on the bottom end of the rung are better off here than anywhere else on planet Earth.
00:22:43.560 That's what I care about.
00:22:44.980 That people who are on the poverty level here can raise themselves out.
00:22:48.760 They have the opportunity to raise themselves out of poverty.
00:22:51.180 That we give them that opportunity from the perspective of education, economically, and every other thing that they need to get out.
00:22:56.700 And also for the ones who can't take care of themselves, that we are a compassionate country.
00:23:00.900 We do take care of them.
00:23:01.940 We take care of them through charity.
00:23:05.180 Nobody's eating cats and dogs here.
00:23:06.820 And nobody ever will.
00:23:08.180 Not if we stay the course.
00:23:10.220 Nobody ever will.
00:23:11.720 And believe me, you'd rather be poor here than poor in the slums of London or Paris or Frankfurt.
00:23:17.980 Trust.
00:23:18.220 I've been those places.
00:23:19.060 Do you remember Gorbachev ran a 60 Minutes piece on poverty in the former Soviet Union?
00:23:28.560 Okay.
00:23:29.100 And he ran it.
00:23:30.580 It was on poverty in America.
00:23:32.840 Thinking that I'll show how bad it is in America.
00:23:36.760 They didn't get it.
00:23:39.540 They didn't get it.
00:23:41.080 Because the people of the Soviet Union saw the poor here with microwaves and televisions and cars and went.
00:23:47.320 They have air conditioning and they're poor.
00:23:51.660 And it backfired on him.
00:23:54.120 The Russian people looked at that and went, that's not poor.
00:23:58.000 It reminds me of a story that Dennis Prager says a lot of times on his radio show.
00:24:01.460 When he was a kid, he went to a model UN in New York.
00:24:05.020 And one of his jobs was the Soviet kids were there.
00:24:07.540 They wanted to give him a tour of New York.
00:24:10.040 And they only wanted to go to one place.
00:24:11.700 They said, we want to go to Harlem.
00:24:13.280 We want to see how your capitalist country, how you deal with your poor and how terrible their lives are.
00:24:18.800 And he takes them to Harlem and they go, you liar.
00:24:21.120 You took us to one of the more expensive areas in Manhattan.
00:24:24.220 That story always stuck with me.
00:24:26.020 Because that's kind of the point of what I'm talking about here.
00:24:28.300 I want to make sure that people who are on the poverty line here, aside from having the opportunities, are better off.
00:24:34.720 They have, like you said, more square footage, more cell phones, more cable, more things than other people do.
00:24:41.940 And they do.
00:24:42.380 And they do.
00:24:44.400 I'm going to give you a chance to plug the website where people can.
00:24:49.120 No, no, go ahead.
00:24:49.900 So people can contribute.
00:24:51.840 Because you need 65,000 people to contribute.
00:24:54.380 Yes.
00:24:54.980 To be able to.
00:24:55.920 At any level.
00:24:56.760 You can give me $1.
00:24:58.360 $1.
00:24:59.380 And you will see the greatest.
00:25:00.740 That's a pretty good deal.
00:25:01.480 $1 to see the greatest show on earth.
00:25:03.280 If they go to AmiForAmerica.com, it'll pop right into a place.
00:25:07.000 They can pop in their information, their credit card information.
00:25:09.000 Send me $1.
00:25:09.720 And I'm telling you, I'm going to give you the greatest show you've ever seen.
00:25:12.940 Because, and look, I'm saying it's a show, and it is a show, obviously, because that's
00:25:16.900 kind of what politics has become.
00:25:18.360 But also, it's real.
00:25:19.720 Because we do want to speak truth to power.
00:25:22.260 We do want to make, they're, listen.
00:25:24.540 They're not being held accountable for their viewpoints.
00:25:27.040 Their viewpoints are so radical.
00:25:28.860 Like we just put it forward.
00:25:29.760 They're out of the, not in the mainstream of America, not in the mainstream of the Democratic
00:25:33.200 Party constituency and electorate.
00:25:35.860 But they're not being held accountable by the mainstream media.
00:25:38.480 You don't see these guys going to CNN and see Wolf Blitzer go, can you tell me why you're
00:25:42.820 running away from capitalism?
00:25:44.280 Even though that's what they're doing?
00:25:45.320 I had somebody actually say to me the other day that, well, yes, you might call them extremists,
00:25:54.360 but I will tell you, you hang out with extremists like Mike Lee.
00:26:00.280 I was like, Mike Lee is the most milquetoasty kind of guy ever.
00:26:07.000 He is rock solid on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and he is not bending on that.
00:26:13.200 But when did that become crazy, radical, right wing?
00:26:19.920 And he was using that as the opposite end of where they were.
00:26:26.240 Right.
00:26:26.760 And I'm like, wait a minute, you're saying there's 86 genders.
00:26:31.840 He says all men were created equal.
00:26:35.320 Something's not right.
00:26:37.260 No, it's like it's like it reminds the whole debate of, you know, the alt-right, the white
00:26:42.200 nationalists, right?
00:26:43.820 You want to compare the white nationalists to, let's say, the in terms of the number of
00:26:48.460 people that exist compared to, let's say, the Antifa guys or the hard left.
00:26:53.040 There's how many how many white nationalists neo-Nazis are in this country?
00:26:56.060 Like, 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 maybe?
00:27:00.240 I think that's overstating it.
00:27:01.780 There are millions of people.
00:27:03.720 There's probably a million or two million people on the hard left who believe and follow what
00:27:08.180 Antifa wants.
00:27:09.060 Chris Cuomo was on CNN defending Antifa, saying there are many good people.
00:27:16.280 I remember.
00:27:16.900 I remember.
00:27:18.060 Right?
00:27:18.940 Absolutely.
00:27:19.660 And do you think he was held to account?
00:27:21.580 No.
00:27:21.820 To account?
00:27:22.420 No.
00:27:22.740 Of course not.
00:27:23.700 And that's my entire point.
00:27:24.920 None of these people are held to account.
00:27:26.860 That's why it takes, I got to do, believe me, this is not something I wanted to do.
00:27:30.480 My wife gave me a lot of grief over this, okay?
00:27:32.920 This is not something she wanted me to pursue.
00:27:34.880 And frankly, my life's going great.
00:27:36.220 I didn't have to do this.
00:27:37.220 But I felt like I didn't have a choice, because who else was going to do it?
00:27:41.300 They're going to go up there, and they're going to go on these debates, and they're going
00:27:44.100 to be handled with kid gloves by NBC and CBS and CNN and Univision, whoever else is holding
00:27:48.880 these debates.
00:27:50.080 Kid gloves.
00:27:51.180 Nobody's going to push them.
00:27:52.060 Nobody's going to find out exactly, tell me about these policies and why you think these
00:27:56.000 policies are good, because they're going to destroy our country.
00:27:57.980 They're not going to be held to account.
00:27:59.160 I have to do it.
00:28:00.040 I have to get on the stage so I can hold them to account.
00:28:02.300 And you are more of a JFK Democrat.
00:28:07.360 By looks.
00:28:11.740 That's farcical.
00:28:13.180 The only troll in this whole thing is by looks.
00:28:16.240 Yeah, right.
00:28:16.680 I made peace with that.
00:28:18.220 No, yes.
00:28:18.980 Look, I was always a big fan of Scoop Jackson, a huge fan of Patrick Moynihan.
00:28:23.900 Those are the two people I look to in the Democratic Party.
00:28:26.700 I don't think that either one of them would be.
00:28:29.200 I mean, Scoop Jackson, he represented my part of the country.
00:28:34.740 And Scoop Jackson would probably be tarred and feathered in the Seattle area now.
00:28:39.640 Oh, my God.
00:28:40.340 He was so unwoke.
00:28:42.280 Yeah.
00:28:42.680 He's so unwoke.
00:28:44.320 No, he.
00:28:45.100 No way.
00:28:45.720 They wouldn't make it anywhere near the Democratic debate.
00:28:48.140 These great thinkers.
00:28:49.360 I mean, Patrick Moynihan, one of the great thinkers of our country.
00:28:52.100 Right.
00:28:52.340 He couldn't make it anywhere near the debate stage these days.
00:28:55.140 They would run him out of town.
00:28:56.180 Are you kidding me?
00:28:57.620 But but that's the state of the Democratic Party today.
00:29:01.600 What does it say to you about Howard Schultz, the way he's been treated?
00:29:06.160 I mean, here's a guy who.
00:29:08.420 I mean, isn't he like a free the lobster kind of guy?
00:29:11.460 He should be feted.
00:29:12.620 Yeah.
00:29:13.040 I mean.
00:29:13.340 Courted by the Democratic Party.
00:29:15.480 Exactly right.
00:29:16.200 They should be saying, please, we need you.
00:29:18.700 He is a guy that 10 years ago would have been the guy outside of the system, wildly successful.
00:29:31.040 Everybody knows him and a champion of traditional lefty stuff.
00:29:36.800 And I don't mean Democratic stuff.
00:29:38.800 I mean, lefty stuff.
00:29:40.860 He's no Republican.
00:29:41.560 He's no he's no he's no he's no Democrat.
00:29:44.800 He's not a president.
00:29:46.180 He's not a guy I want in office.
00:29:48.180 No, although I think he's a smart guy and everything else.
00:29:51.780 I he is not the guy to have, you know, for me.
00:29:59.740 What?
00:30:01.700 How?
00:30:02.380 I mean, no, I mean, it's it's what does it say that he's.
00:30:08.920 Doesn't say good things.
00:30:10.000 It doesn't say good things.
00:30:12.360 I mean, if you're running a guy like Howard Schultz out, who, by the way, if he was running
00:30:17.400 as a Democrat nominee, I think he'd be the hands on favorite.
00:30:21.120 I think he could be Trump or he'd give him a run for his money.
00:30:23.800 I think he could, too.
00:30:24.940 I think he'd run for his money.
00:30:26.300 Yeah.
00:30:26.520 But the fact it just it lays it all bare.
00:30:32.020 Is that the right?
00:30:32.740 It laid it all bare.
00:30:33.440 Yeah.
00:30:33.960 That that that this guy has become too moderate for the Democratic Party and they don't want
00:30:39.480 him anywhere near that debate.
00:30:40.340 He's not moderate.
00:30:41.420 Oh, no.
00:30:41.880 He's he's he's a he's a leftist.
00:30:43.200 It's not.
00:30:43.520 I wouldn't say because a leftist.
00:30:44.900 He's a lefty for sure.
00:30:46.500 He's he's Joe Biden.
00:30:47.620 He was the either number one or number two most left in the Senate when he was there.
00:30:55.680 I mean, that that's who he was.
00:30:57.300 Now he's like, oh, thank God, somebody reasonable.
00:30:59.940 I mean, the Overton window has been moved into another state.
00:31:03.460 I can't even see the window anymore.
00:31:05.060 That's right.
00:31:05.520 That's exactly right.
00:31:06.340 No, it's and it's it.
00:31:08.320 They're doing it to their own detriment because they're just not.
00:31:12.440 I mean, I don't understand.
00:31:13.620 They didn't see the writing on the wall when when President Trump won and he won states
00:31:17.300 that a Republican hasn't sniffed in.
00:31:19.260 I don't know how many years.
00:31:20.020 I think they're betting on.
00:31:23.400 That the Democrats feel the way the Republicans felt with Hillary.
00:31:31.160 Yeah, no, I.
00:31:32.420 OK, that's how that bet work out.
00:31:35.220 I mean, it's not a good bet.
00:31:36.480 He won.
00:31:37.360 Yeah, but I wouldn't make that bet if I were them.
00:31:40.720 I mean, I wouldn't have made that bet if I was a Republican at the time.
00:31:42.960 I mean, looking back at it, it seemed like a smart bet.
00:31:46.000 It didn't work out.
00:31:47.000 But I wouldn't make that bet if I was a Democrat.
00:31:49.640 Not certainly not with the economy we're seeing today.
00:31:52.900 If the economy stays the way it is, how do you think the how do you think things?
00:31:57.800 I don't think I could win if the Democrat.
00:31:59.840 That's how solid I think he will.
00:32:02.220 The economy stays.
00:32:03.140 Right.
00:32:03.820 No.
00:32:04.360 Look, you know, it's.
00:32:06.820 How in an economy like this.
00:32:09.440 Now, everything changes the minute the economy changes.
00:32:12.280 Yeah.
00:32:12.900 But in an economy like this, how can you possibly be preaching against the free market system
00:32:20.100 with an unemployment rate of three point six percent?
00:32:25.360 I think four percent is full employment.
00:32:27.060 We're below that.
00:32:28.340 We are.
00:32:29.200 I've literally I'm 50, what, 55 years old.
00:32:33.140 But I was for the last five the last time this.
00:32:38.680 Well, you don't look at day or 53.
00:32:40.360 Thank you.
00:32:41.320 Thank you.
00:32:41.720 I yeah, it's look, to be fair, I mean, numbers go up and down over the course of time.
00:32:52.540 You know, I'm not sure you can make a generalist policy based on, you know, a year's worth of
00:32:57.840 GDP data, to be fair.
00:32:59.480 So, yeah, it's a strong economy.
00:33:00.520 But I see why they can dismiss that.
00:33:03.800 I mean, frankly, they're they're they're giving all the credit to President Obama, who, by the
00:33:08.420 way, we had the shallowest recovery we've ever seen out of the Obama recovery.
00:33:14.360 It was a long time in a shallow recovery, considering how how how deep the recession
00:33:19.060 was, the numbers should have been far better than they actually were.
00:33:21.980 I think if we would get rid of these trade barriers, I think this economy, I think this
00:33:26.520 economy would be off the charts because nobody can compete with us.
00:33:30.240 Right.
00:33:30.580 Nobody can compete with us across all fields.
00:33:33.200 The end of look, the secret sauce of the United States economy is all about freedom, because
00:33:40.860 freedom is what allows innovation to happen.
00:33:43.220 When you get out of people's ways, that's when the magic happens.
00:33:46.840 Right.
00:33:47.760 And the the.
00:33:50.480 The central planners.
00:33:54.280 They don't believe progressives and we're so far because I've I made the statement about
00:33:59.880 a year ago, the progressive era is over.
00:34:03.660 We're not in a progressive era anymore.
00:34:05.860 We are in a socialist era.
00:34:08.380 We have now that the the progressives are part of the problem.
00:34:14.120 When look at what Barack Obama did to this country or for this country, if you're on the
00:34:19.180 left.
00:34:21.920 AOC.
00:34:24.900 Tlaib, all of these newcomers, they're all coming in and saying he wasn't that great.
00:34:30.700 He wasn't that great.
00:34:32.820 Because he didn't take it and finish the job.
00:34:35.000 Obama.
00:34:35.660 Yeah.
00:34:37.380 I mean, so we're not in a progressive era.
00:34:39.740 These guys now are the revolutionaries that say, I want this change now.
00:34:46.000 Look, OK, you're now you're now triggering my very pessimistic side of me, which I don't
00:34:51.620 like to reveal so much.
00:34:53.300 But I do have a pessimistic side.
00:34:54.560 And that side says that Fukuyama got it right and he got it wrong.
00:34:59.880 Fukuyama famously wrote the book, The End of History, essentially saying that we've
00:35:04.440 we've reached the end of of historical change, that this is what we are, liberal democracies.
00:35:10.120 This is what we're always going to be at this point.
00:35:11.520 We're not going to see any kind of change.
00:35:12.560 And I think he was right is the end of history.
00:35:15.360 But the problem is, I think that once you hit the end of history, you can only go backwards.
00:35:19.060 And I think when we've become so successful, I think we've become so prosperous that it
00:35:24.940 has led to these crazies to say, oh, now we can now we can do now we can do anything.
00:35:29.380 Now we can we've become successful.
00:35:30.860 We can rearrange our entire world and we need to rearrange our entire world.
00:35:34.740 And I think that this is something that may we if this goes forward and these guys win,
00:35:39.580 this will be taking us back to the dark ages.
00:35:41.920 I believe that to be true.
00:35:43.580 Reason and enlightenment and and science being completely dismissed.
00:35:48.940 Have you read about the new monetary policy?
00:35:51.920 I don't remember what it's called, but there's this new monetary policy.
00:35:55.020 It's being followed by the leftists.
00:35:57.000 AOC theory or policy theory.
00:36:00.400 OK, OK, but it will be their policy when they get in.
00:36:04.640 And it is you can print as much money as you want.
00:36:07.820 You can borrow as much, you know, you just print it and you just borrow against what you're
00:36:15.040 going to gain.
00:36:17.060 And it's it's I mean, it's Weimar Republic stuff.
00:36:20.620 It really is the end of all logic and reason.
00:36:24.060 Do I have to remind you what the Weimar Republic led to?
00:36:26.420 I know.
00:36:27.660 I know.
00:36:28.480 I mean, is that I don't know.
00:36:29.760 Right.
00:36:30.840 I saw a study.
00:36:33.880 I saw a study the other day.
00:36:35.340 I have to remind them, by the way.
00:36:37.060 I have to remind them.
00:36:40.240 But people think that's hyperbole.
00:36:42.460 I know.
00:36:42.940 No, you.
00:36:43.380 Wow.
00:36:43.820 Oh, how dare you?
00:36:44.920 What are you doing?
00:36:45.520 What are you talking about?
00:36:47.120 They'll call Donald Trump a Nazi.
00:36:48.360 But if you say this is the exact monetary policy that led to Hitler.
00:36:56.220 You are a dangerous person.
00:36:58.940 Even if you're a Jew, you'll be called an anti-Semite.
00:37:02.040 Oh, yeah.
00:37:02.540 Oh, by the way, those people do exist.
00:37:04.880 Those are not mutually exclusive things.
00:37:06.840 Trust me.
00:37:07.620 The self-hatred Jews have is part.
00:37:09.780 There's nobody on the same self-hatred that we have.
00:37:11.540 But what concerns me is this economy is going to come down.
00:37:24.000 Just will.
00:37:24.720 It has to.
00:37:25.160 Yeah.
00:37:25.620 I mean, could be tomorrow.
00:37:26.740 Could be 2024.
00:37:27.940 The laws of economic gravity.
00:37:29.360 It's got to happen.
00:37:30.560 We're going to go through a hard time.
00:37:31.760 In the study that I saw the other day, 20% of Democrats said that the other side doesn't have enough quality traits to even be regarded as human.
00:37:54.800 That 18.6% of Democrats, 13.4% of Republicans say we'd be better off if there was a mass death of those on the other side.
00:38:12.140 I mean, Ilhan Omar said that Donald Trump is not a human.
00:38:16.840 That's what she said.
00:38:17.720 I mean, she's giving voice to that study.
00:38:19.960 She said it.
00:38:20.780 She put that in living reality.
00:38:23.700 He's not a human.
00:38:25.800 You know, I did another.
00:38:27.160 I can do.
00:38:27.920 I do a lot of different kinds of videos, so I can often cite the videos as and it's all anecdotal, of course.
00:38:33.940 But after one of the shooting, one of the terrible shootings we had, I can't remember which one it was.
00:38:37.820 Unfortunately, I did interview a bunch of Democrats, you know, again, and I asked them, would you support somebody assassinating Donald Trump?
00:38:47.280 And majority of them said yes.
00:38:49.420 Majority of them.
00:38:50.120 Right after a shooting, by the way.
00:38:51.100 Again, the majority of the country does not feel this way.
00:38:57.320 I can stress this over and over again.
00:38:59.320 The majority of Democrats don't feel this way.
00:39:01.180 But the problem is, we have radicalization creep, okay, that it is starting to infect more and more people.
00:39:10.820 And while it's not the majority, it is not an insignificant minority of radicals.
00:39:16.180 I mean, just look at the Democrats, just look at the nominees, right?
00:39:20.440 Most of them, and my wife got mad at me when I said that most of these guys are insane.
00:39:25.680 But it's true.
00:39:27.240 I mean, it is true.
00:39:28.540 Well, you're insane to this extent.
00:39:34.100 Reason and logic and history tell you the things you stand for do not work and lead to real bad problems, if not death.
00:39:44.740 What's the definition of insanity, right?
00:39:46.180 Doing the same thing over and over.
00:39:47.460 And expecting a different result.
00:39:48.660 Right.
00:39:49.500 Have we not done this over and over again?
00:39:51.600 Mm-hmm.
00:39:52.340 Did Pol Pot not do this?
00:39:54.660 Did Stalin not do this?
00:39:56.520 Did Venezuela not do this?
00:39:57.920 I know, no, we finally got it right.
00:40:01.580 We're the smart ones, right?
00:40:03.500 What did AOC say?
00:40:04.460 I'm the boss.
00:40:05.760 I'm the boss.
00:40:08.060 Okay.
00:40:09.000 I mean, really?
00:40:10.720 Really, that's where we're at?
00:40:12.140 And every time history says, has somebody says, I'm the boss, it was one of the things that really bothered me about Donald Trump.
00:40:19.560 Donald Trump, during the campaign, said, I'm the only one that can fix it.
00:40:23.200 The message of a president of the United States always must be, I'm going to get everyone else out of your way because you can fix it.
00:40:35.540 You fix it in your own life.
00:40:37.220 You fix it in your own community.
00:40:38.640 I'm going to keep the bad guys away.
00:40:41.220 I'm going to make sure that everything is even, that we apply the law equally, that there's no favorites anywhere, and you go fix it.
00:40:52.540 That's nowhere.
00:40:54.220 That's nowhere right now.
00:40:55.600 What did Barack Obama say?
00:40:58.060 You didn't build this.
00:40:59.300 You didn't build this.
00:41:01.460 Yeah.
00:41:03.300 Look, there's this weird, if you ever ask, like we said before, we said on the radio show, I think it's important, and it bears repeating,
00:41:12.020 that there's this kind of weird, undercurrent Democratic Party who actually likes Maduro, right?
00:41:17.080 And they're defending Maduro, and they're saying we shouldn't push Guaido there.
00:41:21.540 There's also, the same people, maybe more, also this weird kind of fawdness toward China.
00:41:28.260 Yes.
00:41:28.860 And it's bizarre to me.
00:41:30.300 Facebook.
00:41:31.200 It's incredible to me.
00:41:32.380 Google.
00:41:32.920 Yeah.
00:41:34.020 They're looking at China and saying, oh, this is the model we should be looking at, right?
00:41:37.600 No freedoms.
00:41:38.940 All they do is steal.
00:41:40.140 I mean, it's really one of the most, they're one of the most, one of the most problematic players on the national stage.
00:41:44.280 Let me ask you this.
00:41:44.880 I think, I said this the other day, and I haven't looked for the comments, so I'm sure people have said stuff, but I'd be interested in your point of view.
00:41:57.220 In all of human history, I think China may be the biggest threat, not to the United States, but to mankind and mankind's freedom that has ever existed.
00:42:10.880 With the technology that they have and are working and their ideology, I think it's the most dangerous foe we've ever faced.
00:42:21.220 I don't agree.
00:42:22.460 Okay.
00:42:23.000 And I'll tell you why.
00:42:25.080 China, historically, and including now, has never been interested in expansion.
00:42:32.000 Not including now.
00:42:33.660 China 2025, their plan of 2025.
00:42:37.600 What do you mean?
00:42:38.320 Well, there is a, there's two plans that they made back around the turn of the century.
00:42:43.900 And by the way, they do want to expand to historical China.
00:42:46.880 No, no, no.
00:42:47.500 No, this is global domination.
00:42:49.440 Okay.
00:42:49.960 There's China 2020, and that is get your house in order by 2020, control the population.
00:42:56.920 Okay.
00:42:57.120 You know about their population, their big brother kind of systems that they're frightening.
00:43:03.500 Their social, their black mirror plan.
00:43:06.880 That's China 2020.
00:43:09.160 Back 2005, 2006.
00:43:11.800 You're told they're five-year, they're five-year plans.
00:43:15.240 Yes.
00:43:15.800 So 2020 was get the, get the state to control and, and help everyone live a very productive life.
00:43:25.700 China 2025 is to be the dominant player in the world, especially on surveillance and technology.
00:43:36.980 So this is why when we're looking at Europe and saying, you're talking about the five, the five, the 5G limitation.
00:43:45.500 No, no.
00:43:45.780 It's a massive problem.
00:43:47.000 Yeah.
00:43:47.160 Once they control the pipeline of information, then they're everywhere.
00:43:51.520 Yeah.
00:43:52.360 And they can, information is power.
00:43:55.080 They control everything at that point.
00:43:57.700 No, from that perspective, only because we're in a state now where technology can have so much influence and power over the, okay, I see where you're going with that.
00:44:08.480 I don't, I don't disagree.
00:44:09.560 Okay.
00:44:10.080 But I, what I was looking at, they're more, the reason why I would look at the Soviet Union as the greatest foe we ever had is because it was an ideology that was spreading.
00:44:19.160 Yeah.
00:44:19.380 An ideology that people were signing up to.
00:44:21.360 There's no Chinese ideology that they're kind of preaching to the rest of the world they want to convert them to.
00:44:25.620 They're bad actors, their whole, their whole, their whole new belt policy where they're raping these countries.
00:44:33.460 Yes.
00:44:33.720 And essentially, but, and, and, and after they rape them, they take their land.
00:44:37.280 Yeah.
00:44:37.560 Because they, they're so indebted to them.
00:44:39.280 They're so indebted that they actually, I mean, they own, they own, they own, they own a significant part of the Sri Lankan port because Sri Lankan couldn't pay back the debt.
00:44:46.440 Right.
00:44:46.780 They're doing this all over Africa.
00:44:48.400 All over Africa.
00:44:49.240 Building things that.
00:44:50.900 They don't need.
00:44:51.780 They don't need.
00:44:52.400 They shouldn't want.
00:44:53.280 But they're so corrupt that they're, that they're buying into it.
00:44:55.760 But that actually ultimately is going to help us long-term because I think the country will realize what China has done to them.
00:45:01.720 It'll only come back to us.
00:45:02.940 But let me ask you, with groups like Google and Facebook, their ideology, I think, in some ways, is progressive at best, socialist at worst.
00:45:20.560 Um, no, corporatist at worst.
00:45:26.720 I think China is doing this.
00:45:31.220 They're doing it for money.
00:45:32.540 They're doing it for power.
00:45:33.760 They're doing it for control.
00:45:34.920 Um, and they, they're used to this kind of control of their population.
00:45:42.240 Google and Facebook and Apple, all of them are getting into bed here.
00:45:47.980 And I believe they believe much of the same stuff, but it's all corporate greed.
00:45:54.940 And I think there's a time coming very soon that they will be much more powerful than the federal government.
00:46:02.900 The federal government will need them much more than Google will need the federal government.
00:46:08.060 I mean, you're just like out of every dystopian sci-fi movie we've ever seen.
00:46:12.760 Um, look, the Google Facebook thing is, is fascinating and it affects me in a very real way.
00:46:17.940 I think it affects your business as well, but mine in particular is that I, I, my distribution base is, is, is totally dependent on Google and Facebook.
00:46:25.880 Right.
00:46:26.840 And it's, it's problematic because they've been using their, their ideological, their, their technological power to spread their ideology.
00:46:34.360 And they give you a perfect example of how sick this has become.
00:46:37.180 I did a video that you and I talked about where I exposed open antisemitism at a conference at Duke and UNC.
00:46:44.000 Just clear, disgusting.
00:46:46.340 Tell the story, tell the story again for anybody who didn't hear that episode.
00:46:49.460 So I was, I went to Duke and there was a joint Duke UNC conference on the campus of the University of North Carolina.
00:46:56.500 And it was ostensibly about the Gaza conflict, which I knew would devolve into an anti-Israel hate fest, which it did, which it's sad to say doesn't surprise me.
00:47:05.480 And for me, doesn't even move the needle to do a video because it's so common on our campus.
00:47:09.700 I hate to say that.
00:47:10.740 I hate to say that I'm jaded in that way, but it's just the reality.
00:47:12.900 But what happened was something far worse than that was it just became an open antisemitic hate fest.
00:47:20.820 And what happened was sort of the culmination of the entire conference was they brought this rapper in who, by the way, just a week before had this, this, this fawning piece in New York times about him, by the way, a significant piece in New York times about him.
00:47:32.800 It was really despicable.
00:47:33.640 I saw the video.
00:47:34.260 I couldn't believe it.
00:47:34.980 And he gets up there and he starts chanting his anti-Semitic chants.
00:47:38.240 He's literally saying, this is my anti-Semitic song.
00:47:40.760 They're going crazy.
00:47:41.780 Let's get anti-Semitic together.
00:47:43.160 They're going crazy.
00:47:43.860 You're not being anti-Semitic enough.
00:47:45.280 They're going crazy.
00:47:46.200 OK, this is all on camera.
00:47:47.800 Right.
00:47:48.680 And OK, so the video gets out and it just creates a huge firestorm.
00:47:53.280 There are congressional investigations and a DOE investigation into the use of U.S. funds for this conference.
00:47:59.520 And I put it up on Google, which is kind of one of the first, you know, Google and Facebook, one of the first things I do.
00:48:05.520 It's on YouTube.
00:48:06.760 And within 20 minutes, it gets pulled.
00:48:10.040 And they send me an email saying, we're pulling this for hate speech.
00:48:14.320 Right.
00:48:14.720 The irony of ironies.
00:48:16.340 So and they said it wasn't even like an algorithm thing, that it was reviewed and pulled, that initially the algorithm tagged it.
00:48:23.600 And a human watched what I did, exposing anti-Semitism and go, oh, yes, this is hate.
00:48:28.300 And they pull it down.
00:48:29.940 OK, so I make a big fuss out of it.
00:48:31.420 Which which which side was hate?
00:48:33.600 That's like exposing Adolf Hitler and saying a documentary on how bad Adolf Hitler is, is hate speech.
00:48:41.320 Well, you're abusing his rights.
00:48:44.020 I was apparently, you know, not being I was not creating a safe space for anti-Semites.
00:48:48.520 I guess that's what that's what they were.
00:48:50.160 Is that what they were?
00:48:50.880 I think that's what.
00:48:51.540 Yeah.
00:48:51.680 I mean, what else could they be?
00:48:53.100 I mean, it's look, if you watch the video, it's 100 percent clear that I'm I'm using what he's saying as an example of anti-Semitism.
00:49:01.020 The guy saw it and still pulled it down as hate speech.
00:49:04.020 So then because what he was saying was hate speech.
00:49:06.480 Correct.
00:49:06.960 My video down exposing it.
00:49:09.200 I know it's crazy.
00:49:10.360 It's it's it's always hard to comprehend.
00:49:12.340 So anyways, I make a big fuss out of it out of it.
00:49:15.800 And I've got some some juice there and they put it back up.
00:49:19.560 12 hours later, they pull it down again, again, even after the fuss and ultimately put they put it back up.
00:49:26.740 But they took it down twice.
00:49:28.840 A video that all it was doing was exposing anti-Semitism.
00:49:32.260 They pulled it down.
00:49:32.720 So that is very, very scary stuff.
00:49:35.680 And this whole argument and it really is more of an intellectual argument.
00:49:38.940 And I'm not sure even where I come out on it, which is, are they utility?
00:49:45.280 Do we do we look to break them up?
00:49:46.720 It's a fascinating argument that I'm not sure where I come out on, to be honest.
00:49:50.480 I mean, I know for better if you're running for president.
00:49:53.880 Oh, I guarantee you, you know, those guys have any any formulated or they're all they're all they're generally all for breaking it up.
00:50:00.280 I know that Elizabeth Warren, she said he would consider seriously considerate.
00:50:05.000 And Beto, I think, said he would seriously considerate.
00:50:08.480 I mean, when you have if you know history, when you have industries begging for regulation,
00:50:16.540 that's that's that's a trigger for something.
00:50:18.480 Yeah. Right.
00:50:19.140 So if you know history, whether it's the standard oil, beg for the four against.
00:50:24.160 I'm not sure about standard oil, but I know that the big three automakers were.
00:50:30.860 I know that BF Goodrich and Goodyear tires, they were.
00:50:35.800 And so the big three automakers and the two big tire makers in the 1930s went to the White House and said,
00:50:43.560 you need to regulate us.
00:50:45.300 You need to regulate us.
00:50:46.520 And they put every bit of competition out of out of works.
00:50:51.600 If you look at the at the old Auburn's, you know, you look at the one of the best cars ever made.
00:51:00.160 You know, the phrase.
00:51:02.040 Oh, that's a doozy.
00:51:03.960 Yes.
00:51:04.340 You know what that comes from?
00:51:05.460 I have no idea.
00:51:06.460 Duesenberg.
00:51:07.180 It was one of the best American made cars.
00:51:09.940 It was so well done.
00:51:12.140 It was the Rolls Royce competition.
00:51:14.400 The Duesenberg.
00:51:15.620 The Duesenberg.
00:51:16.520 That's a doozy.
00:51:17.460 That's the worst name for a car.
00:51:18.900 Well, it was before the war.
00:51:21.220 The Hindenberg.
00:51:22.200 Yeah.
00:51:22.480 That's a great car.
00:51:23.620 But the but the big three automakers knew if we can get the government to come to us as the experts,
00:51:34.320 we can come up with regulation that we can afford.
00:51:39.400 But no one is a startup can.
00:51:41.840 So we'll never, ever be challenged.
00:51:45.160 That's why they're begging for regulation.
00:51:48.140 Please regulate us.
00:51:51.420 Look at the cable industry.
00:51:53.920 Look at the way the cable industry is run.
00:51:57.600 Right now, you can't say, they all said, well, you go start your own thing.
00:52:04.900 Go start your own thing.
00:52:06.220 Okay.
00:52:07.260 I did.
00:52:08.120 But there's no way because of the way it's regulated that I could get back in to cable and have a fair shake at all.
00:52:17.960 And then what does Facebook and Google do?
00:52:22.080 You'll go ahead and start your own thing.
00:52:23.960 Of course, we're going to demonetize you and we're going to make sure the algorithms push people away from you.
00:52:30.580 How did what?
00:52:31.320 Wait, what?
00:52:32.140 But the only chance we have.
00:52:34.740 As I mentioned, wake me up when you have $100 billion in startup revenue to actually compete with us.
00:52:39.940 Correct.
00:52:40.100 The only chance we have are in people like Peter Thiel who can start competitors to those.
00:52:49.780 Because I'm convinced a competitor that is truly a platform in time, once they really start banning voices, one that truly says, hey, you're going to hate a lot of stuff here.
00:53:04.220 You're going to hate it.
00:53:05.260 But you control the algorithm.
00:53:07.680 You do.
00:53:09.440 So you want to say, I don't like that?
00:53:12.680 Don't flag it for other people.
00:53:14.380 Flag it for you.
00:53:15.500 I don't like that.
00:53:16.680 I don't like this.
00:53:17.560 I don't like this.
00:53:18.300 I don't want this.
00:53:19.360 I want more of this, this, and this.
00:53:21.660 You control the algorithm.
00:53:24.160 Why won't they let people do that?
00:53:28.140 Yeah.
00:53:28.580 Like I said, this is a very important issue for me and for people like me because that's our only avenue out there.
00:53:35.040 I got a great Peter Thiel story.
00:53:36.960 I get a Twitter message from Peter Thiel.
00:53:40.340 And he says, love what you're doing.
00:53:42.280 I think you're doing this great.
00:53:43.100 I go, oh, my God, Peter Thiel.
00:53:44.220 Yeah.
00:53:44.720 I was like, Peter, I'm a big fan of yours.
00:53:46.220 He goes, you are?
00:53:46.780 I go, yeah.
00:53:47.220 It's all over Twitter.
00:53:47.980 And I said, I said, I'd love to meet you, right?
00:53:51.100 This guy can find me for the next hundred years.
00:53:53.200 So he goes, you want to meet me?
00:53:54.680 I go, yeah.
00:53:54.960 He goes, I'm happy to.
00:53:56.440 He says, why don't we meet at my place in Wisconsin?
00:53:58.160 I'm thinking, okay, he's kind of a quirky dude.
00:54:00.520 He's got a place in Wisconsin.
00:54:01.440 I don't know.
00:54:01.760 I booked my tickets.
00:54:02.600 Get ready to go.
00:54:03.900 Looked up his name.
00:54:04.600 Wasn't even spelled right.
00:54:05.360 I couldn't even get the spelling right out of the guy.
00:54:09.400 This poor guy in Wisconsin, I'm like, I'm sorry.
00:54:11.300 So I got to cancel my trip to see you.
00:54:13.140 That is so funny.
00:54:14.520 That is so funny.
00:54:15.620 Wow.
00:54:15.920 You really want to meet me?
00:54:17.340 He was super excited.
00:54:19.280 I bet he was.
00:54:20.780 I bet he was.
00:54:21.500 Can you imagine if I flew out there?
00:54:22.980 He picks me up and holds a bill.
00:54:24.060 Let me go to a couple of other topics that you will have to face if you're on stage for
00:54:38.180 the Democrats and talk to me as a person that is appealing to Democrats.
00:54:46.140 Second Amendment.
00:54:48.240 Look, I'm not going to talk to you as an appeal to Democrats.
00:54:51.540 I'm not going to talk to you as an appeal to Republicans.
00:54:52.880 I'm just going to tell you the way I see all the issues, including the Second Amendment.
00:54:57.900 Remind me which one that one is?
00:55:01.040 So the Second Amendment, which is an amendment, I think, if you took a poll among everybody
00:55:08.560 on that stage, I think they would all choose to repeal the amendment.
00:55:12.300 Fair to say?
00:55:13.360 Mm-hmm.
00:55:13.600 Okay.
00:55:14.060 So I'm a big believer in gun rights.
00:55:16.020 I'm a big believer in the Second Amendment.
00:55:17.660 I'm a big believer in it from a whole host of perspectives, including the right to defend
00:55:21.840 oneself.
00:55:22.260 But also, I find it curious when the high and mighty hoity-toity intellectual of the
00:55:29.360 world laugh at me and say, oh, you really need guns to stop an oppressive government?
00:55:36.200 Are you really that stupid that you think that's necessary?
00:55:39.520 I look at them.
00:55:40.040 And I go, yeah, actually, I do.
00:55:42.420 I do believe that.
00:55:44.720 So from those perspectives, both from the one-
00:55:46.940 Why do you believe that?
00:55:48.300 Oh, I think there's no question that we live in a government today, which is great.
00:55:53.300 The freedoms we have are phenomenal, but they're under threat.
00:55:55.460 And there's nowhere written in stone that 50 years from now, 100 years from now, it's
00:55:59.920 not going to happen in the near future, that we couldn't have an oppressive government that
00:56:03.300 wants to take away all of our rights.
00:56:04.920 And the only thing standing between us and them knocking on our doors are guns.
00:56:08.480 And believe you me, a government will think twice when they know their population is armed.
00:56:13.680 Okay?
00:56:13.980 250 million people and 300 million guns in this country.
00:56:18.000 Yeah, that is a stopgap measure for an oppressive fascist government, which, by the way, can
00:56:25.080 happen anywhere, including here.
00:56:27.640 Yeah, it's people.
00:56:28.980 I find it interesting that people say, oh, you're going to take on the U.S. military?
00:56:33.080 Well, no, I hope not.
00:56:35.460 But it would at least give people a fighting chance sometime down the road if you had to
00:56:41.280 take on an oppressive government.
00:56:42.800 Well, that's not going to work.
00:56:43.700 It seemed to do really well in Iraq.
00:56:48.000 Afghanistan?
00:56:49.760 I mean, they were taking on the full, I mean, shock and awe.
00:56:54.800 That wasn't an easy fight.
00:56:57.260 That wasn't 300 million guns in people's hands.
00:57:00.080 And as a Jew, I'm particularly sensitive to that argument.
00:57:03.580 Now, so I do believe that we constitutionally have a right to own guns.
00:57:07.940 I think it's clear, and I think, and clearly upheld by the Supreme Court.
00:57:11.360 And I believe that we need one on an individual level to protect ourselves.
00:57:15.360 Having said that, I don't think the right is absolute.
00:57:19.820 And I think there should be restrictions and can be restrictions.
00:57:22.240 And one of the, a waiting period.
00:57:24.560 I see no reason why we can't have a waiting period to own a gun.
00:57:27.500 I see no reason whatsoever.
00:57:28.560 If I need a gun, I can wait four days for it.
00:57:30.420 In fact, I'm not sure I want a guy to have a gun who needs it that day.
00:57:32.800 I will tell you, and you're in the same situation.
00:57:37.680 Now, you live in New York, so you didn't do this.
00:57:39.920 But I didn't live in New York when I needed a gun that day.
00:57:44.000 I've had threats on my life where I needed a gun today.
00:57:47.780 I also have had threats in my life.
00:57:49.300 I've had people come to my home and threaten my life, literally.
00:57:52.460 So, but I, and I, and that's why I'm not saying whether I do or do not have a gun.
00:57:56.800 Right.
00:57:57.020 But that's why I think guns are necessary and they are a way to protect ourselves.
00:58:01.280 But generally speaking.
00:58:02.460 But generally speaking, I have no, there's no reason why you can't wait for guns.
00:58:06.340 What about the really scary black ones?
00:58:09.520 Really scary black guns.
00:58:10.980 You know, those weapons of war.
00:58:14.160 Yeah.
00:58:14.520 Instruments of death.
00:58:15.480 Look, if you're talking a Gatlin gun, then we can have a discussion.
00:58:19.480 But you're talking about a semi-automatic, which just means it shoots the same way to fire as a handgun.
00:58:23.820 And I'm not sure what the size of the gun has anything to do with the debate.
00:58:28.540 If you're talking about a bazooka, we can have a conversation.
00:58:30.840 My daughter and I had a conversation.
00:58:33.720 She has been, she's just not liked guns.
00:58:36.020 My family, we have a ranch.
00:58:37.540 We go shooting every day when we're up at the ranch.
00:58:40.460 It's, you know, we use it as a sport.
00:58:42.520 We're long range shooters.
00:58:43.800 We're short, you know, handgun shooters.
00:58:46.760 And we love it.
00:58:47.980 We love it.
00:58:48.700 But my daughter, she's 26 now, she does not love it and never has.
00:58:56.980 And guns make her nervous.
00:59:00.080 Until she had a real problem with someone following her home.
00:59:05.760 Scared her half to death.
00:59:07.760 She had a pursuer.
00:59:08.960 And she came right over to the house, to my house.
00:59:12.960 And she was very upset.
00:59:14.700 She said, Dad, I want to learn how to shoot.
00:59:17.620 So we went to the range that very next day.
00:59:20.440 And I had her shoot all different handguns and then rifles and shotguns.
00:59:25.040 And she said, and I had a, like a Henry.
00:59:30.940 And then I had an AR that didn't look like the scary gun.
00:59:35.440 And then I had the black, scary looking AR.
00:59:40.640 She understood the difference between the Henry and the AR.
00:59:44.740 But she said, but that one's much more deadly than this one.
00:59:50.720 And I said, why do you think?
00:59:51.660 She's like, look at it.
00:59:52.900 That's the way average people are.
00:59:55.780 I know.
00:59:56.140 And I get it.
00:59:56.700 They look at it and they're like, that's a scary gun.
00:59:58.820 They're the same gun.
01:00:01.660 The same gun.
01:00:04.980 It's been so distorted that we're not even taught.
01:00:10.680 You know, it's Ben Shapiro.
01:00:12.980 Facts don't care about your feelings.
01:00:15.660 And we're all on feelings.
01:00:16.960 And if, first of all, I've done an analysis on the amount of mass shootings here in the U.S. and in Europe, right?
01:00:27.340 And there's, it's crazy.
01:00:29.760 It's virtually almost no difference.
01:00:31.880 I think we're a little bit ahead now than we are of Europe.
01:00:34.080 But it's virtually no difference.
01:00:37.060 And if you, if you expand that out and just do mass killings, oh, far more mass killings in Europe than we have in the United States.
01:00:44.660 And if you, if you factor in the truck killings and the knifings and the bombings.
01:00:49.880 It's because people are, it's so crazy that Europe is practically down to the butter knife or England is.
01:00:58.960 They're going to find a way to kill you.
01:01:03.540 You think any person ever who wanted to do a mass killing goes, I don't ask to a gun.
01:01:08.320 I guess I have to put that one away and I'm going to go about my day.
01:01:10.400 Let me give you a good example.
01:01:11.680 We had on display here at one of our pop-up museums, Charlie Manson's shotgun.
01:01:19.880 Uh, he had a gun.
01:01:22.820 You've got some weird stuff.
01:01:23.820 I know he had a gun, had, uh, every right to it.
01:01:27.260 He was, uh, naked out in one morning out in a field and he was shooting birds.
01:01:34.640 And some person called the police and said, we've got a naked hippie out shooting birds.
01:01:39.600 Can you do something about it?
01:01:40.900 They took away his gun.
01:01:42.760 Didn't really stop him from killing people.
01:01:44.500 Did it?
01:01:44.960 No, it didn't need a gun.
01:01:46.300 It didn't.
01:01:46.720 And, and look, the, and also just, if you think about it, just kind of practically that,
01:01:52.280 first of all, the vast majority of crimes are committed with illegal guns.
01:01:56.280 So you've taken that off the table completely, right?
01:01:59.040 Because if you're by definition, if you take away legal guns, illegal guns will still exist.
01:02:02.480 Right.
01:02:02.840 And definitely, definitely, who's going to have guns and people don't care about laws.
01:02:08.620 Right.
01:02:09.060 And who's not going to have guns?
01:02:10.020 You're not going to stop the flow of guns.
01:02:11.340 We have Mexico on our border.
01:02:12.580 It's just, it's just practically speaking, it's never going to happen.
01:02:15.760 We're always going to have illegal guns coming in this country.
01:02:18.660 So if you're going to take away the right of people to own a gun legally, where does that leave us?
01:02:23.460 Let's, let's go to the border.
01:02:26.440 Now?
01:02:27.260 Yeah.
01:02:28.400 Um, the, I think with what I'm seeing happening on the border now, it is so far out of control.
01:02:37.320 It's not, it's not being covered by the press.
01:02:39.240 They don't, nobody's, nobody's telling the truth on the border.
01:02:42.420 When I went down to the border under Obama, I saw the cages with the children.
01:02:47.100 I called every single journalist I know.
01:02:50.980 I said, you don't even have to quote me.
01:02:52.400 You got kids in cages.
01:02:54.460 How are you feeling about that?
01:02:56.800 Nobody wanted to report on it.
01:02:58.900 Nobody wants to report on what's happening at the border now because they're invested in, you know, there's nothing, there's not a crisis.
01:03:05.680 It's an absolute crisis on the southern border of Mexico and the southern border of the United States.
01:03:12.660 How's that going to work out for the Democrats when it begins to be seen the ramifications of this?
01:03:25.580 I mean, Italy just, they just put a new ban in for NGOs, specifically George Soros, because he's been helping poor immigrants from the Middle East get to Italy.
01:03:39.180 They banned him.
01:03:40.560 That's like the, what, third country now in the last two years that have banned him over in Europe?
01:03:45.820 How's this going to work out for them?
01:03:47.600 Look, the definition of sovereignty is controlling your borders.
01:03:50.520 I mean, without that, you don't have a sovereign nation.
01:03:52.240 The fact that the Democratic Party just can't see beyond their own nose as to what this is going to do to this country.
01:04:01.760 And if they just want to think about, forget it, they don't care about the country.
01:04:04.680 Just think about their own hides, their own power.
01:04:07.620 They're destroying themselves.
01:04:09.620 Do you think the majority of people in this country want open borders?
01:04:13.100 Do you think the majority of people in this country want, look, I'm a product of immigration.
01:04:17.400 Okay?
01:04:17.640 I'm all in on immigration.
01:04:20.040 Without immigration, I'm not here.
01:04:22.060 I'm in some godforsaken country somewhere else.
01:04:24.540 Okay?
01:04:25.220 So, I'm all in on legal immigration, but I'm not, I can't wrap my head around how people could support illegal immigration.
01:04:36.240 I just don't get it.
01:04:37.560 I mean, I don't.
01:04:38.360 Well, Friedman said, you can have open borders.
01:04:42.880 You can have socialism, free medical care, free everything, but you cannot have both.
01:04:51.920 They are actually now standing on stages all across America, democratic socialist and democratic candidates, saying everyone, even illegals, need to have all the free health care that we have.
01:05:08.800 That's suicide.
01:05:09.560 You cannot, mathematically, you cannot do that.
01:05:13.560 Just print more money.
01:05:15.120 Don't we own the printing press?
01:05:16.820 It's the new monetary policy.
01:05:18.260 Just keep popping it out.
01:05:20.000 I mean, their lack of understanding of basic economics confounds me.
01:05:26.600 It truly does.
01:05:27.660 Well, I don't know.
01:05:28.460 You know, did you know that Vermont had, they were in 2012, they started their own health care?
01:05:34.380 Vermont health care.
01:05:35.420 Mountain, I think it was mountain care.
01:05:37.140 Yes.
01:05:38.020 Failed horribly, right?
01:05:39.100 Yep.
01:05:55.820 Somebody asked me the other day,
01:06:00.560 why do they keep trying it on the federal level when it fails every other place?
01:06:07.580 Why would you do it when it fails in two, three years?
01:06:10.480 These people promised us.
01:06:11.640 What's their mantra?
01:06:12.640 This time we'll do it right.
01:06:14.440 That's their answer for everything, which has failed repeatedly.
01:06:17.660 But this time, I think that what they know is the states don't have the right to do one thing that the federal government has the right to do.
01:06:28.460 Print money.
01:06:29.180 Print money.
01:06:29.780 Right.
01:06:29.880 So it'll work if you print money.
01:06:33.800 You'll never run out of money.
01:06:35.160 Just print it.
01:06:37.140 Don't you want to see me say this stuff on the Democratic Day stage?
01:06:40.040 I do.
01:06:40.360 I mean, come on.
01:06:41.500 I do.
01:06:42.640 I mean, do I do?
01:06:43.540 How are you going to get there?
01:06:45.160 I mean, you have to have 65,000, let's say, dollars, because you'll have to have 65,000 people.
01:06:51.760 Individual donors.
01:06:52.660 Right.
01:06:53.300 But there's got to be other triggers that are going to keep you off the stage.
01:06:57.260 So it's interesting.
01:06:58.060 So I did a deep dive analysis into exactly what it takes to get on and exactly what powers the Democratic Party have to keep me off.
01:07:07.760 So there's a number of games.
01:07:09.880 Let's assume that I get there.
01:07:11.280 Right.
01:07:11.480 So with the help of your folks sending me a dollar to AmiForAmerica.com, hopefully I can get that number.
01:07:18.140 And I think we will.
01:07:20.460 Look, if they keep me off, there's two things they can do.
01:07:24.060 And either way, I like putting opponents in a box.
01:07:27.820 And they're in a box.
01:07:29.620 Self-imposed.
01:07:30.500 Self-imposed.
01:07:31.260 They have two choices.
01:07:32.720 Choice one is they can say, we're going to have you on because, you know, you made it.
01:07:40.100 We're going to have you on.
01:07:41.160 And God bless them.
01:07:42.960 It's not going to happen.
01:07:43.660 I'm going to make the Democratic debate stage a very unsafe space for them.
01:07:46.820 Okay.
01:07:47.000 I'm going to be very unwoke.
01:07:50.260 But not.
01:07:51.020 In a completely respectful way.
01:07:54.700 I don't want, I don't like trolls and I don't like people who are just disrupting the system.
01:08:01.780 They have every right to be on the stage and speak their mind.
01:08:05.500 As long as you are respectful and playing by the rules, but stating what you believe, I'm good with that.
01:08:13.620 See, I like the term disruptive, actually, because there's two meanings for it.
01:08:16.840 But the meaning that I am inferring with disruptive is that in the technological sense, in the innovative sense, I'm disrupting something which needs to be disruptive because the path that's going on.
01:08:26.720 Creative destruction is imperative.
01:08:28.840 Correct.
01:08:29.780 No, this is meant to be a completely respectful rebuttal for the beliefs of many of the people on that stage.
01:08:37.020 In defense of the people who vote for Democratic.
01:08:41.340 Correct.
01:08:41.720 No, I'm their proxy.
01:08:43.220 I'm the proxy of the silent majority of the Democratic Party, not the Republican Party, not Donald Trump.
01:08:48.200 He didn't send me here.
01:08:49.300 I'm the proxy for the people who say those people on the stage don't represent me.
01:08:54.560 That's that's why I'm there for.
01:08:55.520 And by the way, if this was if this was if this was Joe Biden circa 1993, I'm not sure I do this.
01:09:02.120 I think that that that Joe Biden kind of represented the middle the middle ground fine enough, you know, well enough or if Moulton, you know, had a real shot and was a frontrunner as opposed to being also ran below one percent.
01:09:14.120 I would say he's got this thing.
01:09:15.740 He's at twenty five percent.
01:09:17.000 He can handle it.
01:09:17.620 There's no need for me on the stage.
01:09:18.720 There's a need for me on the stage.
01:09:19.760 Why?
01:09:19.940 I'm doing it.
01:09:20.940 So the choice is either put me on there and I speak truth to power and I hold them accountable to their views or they go back on everything they've been saying.
01:09:30.700 And they, you know, when they announced what the criteria was to get on stage, Tom Perez went on every night.
01:09:36.400 He went on Fox News and he said, we want this to be an absolutely open debate process.
01:09:41.880 They understood that what happened in 2016 with with with the Democratic Democratic.
01:09:49.340 That's right.
01:09:50.100 Basically took.
01:09:51.280 I mean, the entire system was rigged for Hillary against Bernie Sanders.
01:09:54.620 And he understood that this was this is they cannot have a decision making process of this weight being done in a back room.
01:10:02.320 But this is what they devised when Reagan came into office.
01:10:07.000 1980 is when the Democratic Party changed because they saw Ronald Reagan, this upstart, this guy who completely changed the Republican Party.
01:10:15.780 And they said, wait, he was an outsider.
01:10:20.020 He was a radical.
01:10:20.860 He wasn't supposed to do that.
01:10:21.960 We don't want this to happen.
01:10:23.500 That's why they devised superdelegates.
01:10:26.620 I mean, they have from the beginning, they have made it as undemocratic as possible to be able to get on the stage and to become president of the United States.
01:10:37.040 Now they're saying they've learned from that.
01:10:40.220 The superdelegates are still in, but they've learned from that and they want to make it fair.
01:10:46.020 But.
01:10:47.220 So he says, I want diversity.
01:10:49.020 I'm going to put it to the test.
01:10:50.200 I'm diverse.
01:10:51.820 I'm intellectually diverse.
01:10:53.760 Right.
01:10:54.580 And by the way, I'm also a person of color.
01:10:56.280 My wife hates my kids, but it's true.
01:10:57.440 My mother's Iranian.
01:10:58.480 I think by definition, it makes me a person of color.
01:11:00.300 So I'm diverse, man.
01:11:01.580 Yeah.
01:11:01.840 I'm the guy you need on the stage.
01:11:03.380 As somebody who's been intersected, Iranian, Jewish, short.
01:11:12.540 I was uncalled for, Glenn Beck.
01:11:15.440 I was below the belt.
01:11:18.560 Talk to me about the debate of where we are now.
01:11:27.340 As science is going this way, Democrats are going this way.
01:11:31.620 And we're not even, it would be so rational now, but so unacceptable to the left to say,
01:11:40.960 let's just hold to the Roe versus Wade standard.
01:11:44.340 Let's just say first trimester.
01:11:47.120 How about that?
01:11:47.780 Are they really playing for, is this a death cult?
01:11:55.880 Or are they moving the Overton window to get us to go, okay, Roe versus Wade is fine.
01:12:04.200 What are they doing?
01:12:06.120 Look, let's put aside whether or not Roe versus Wade from a constitutional perspective was a good decision.
01:12:12.400 Because I think there are some fair issues whether or not it really was a good decision, not from a policy perspective where I actually support, but from a constitutional perspective.
01:12:20.180 Let's put that aside.
01:12:20.780 I think Roe versus Wade, I think, is a very reasonable standard.
01:12:25.980 And the standard is quite simple.
01:12:28.600 They've had a number of addendums to them.
01:12:29.880 And I think the last one was Casey Planned Parenthood in the 90s, where it said, look, when the child becomes viable outside the womb,
01:12:41.280 that seems like a pretty reasonable standard to say, ah, no more abortion.
01:12:45.520 I think that's a pretty reasonable standard, okay?
01:12:48.340 And we can't fix it to first trimester because as far as, you know, we've got to keep up with technology.
01:12:52.120 As long as we're able to keep children, you know, out of the womb healthy and alive, then that's the standard.
01:12:58.480 They've moved so far.
01:12:59.780 You talk about the over the window, and you're absolutely right.
01:13:02.100 They've moved that window so far out of it, there's no sunshine coming in anywhere in the House.
01:13:06.960 I mean, they're talking about, they're talking, we're being charitable late from abortion.
01:13:12.660 If you look at what the governor of Virginia said, he's talking about infanticide.
01:13:17.440 And by the way, there actually are thinkers on the Democratic side who actually are okay with it.
01:13:22.920 Okay, there's a professor from Princeton who said-
01:13:25.240 Peter Singer.
01:13:25.560 Peter Singer, who has talked about infanticide being okay.
01:13:28.920 Being okay up to two years, which he later apologized for.
01:13:32.980 You know this?
01:13:33.720 No.
01:13:34.300 He said, you should be able to kill a child up until two years.
01:13:39.920 And then he came out and apologized for it, and his apology was, I shouldn't have put a date on it.
01:13:46.600 Because you should be able to kill anyone that doesn't realize-
01:13:53.800 That they're alive.
01:13:55.060 That they're alive, or the concept of tomorrow.
01:13:58.040 Right.
01:13:59.980 So, look, again, when you think about how right-wing conspiratorialists would talk about Democratic positions,
01:14:10.140 you'd say, oh, you're a crazy right-winger, Democrats don't believe that.
01:14:13.880 They kind of do now.
01:14:15.060 Like, we're in a position where those conspiratorial theories of Democratic belief system is now a reality.
01:14:20.100 You don't even have to take it to right after birth.
01:14:23.260 What is the difference between five minutes before birth or five minutes after birth?
01:14:28.480 Really?
01:14:29.260 It's still a baby.
01:14:30.300 Not much.
01:14:30.940 Yeah.
01:14:31.160 In fact, I think nothing.
01:14:32.380 Nothing.
01:14:32.920 Nothing.
01:14:33.400 Except in building port.
01:14:34.420 Yeah, it's on one side of the womb, the other side of the womb.
01:14:39.140 Nothing magical happens between that bear-
01:14:41.400 It's not like-
01:14:42.160 Oh, you are a child.
01:14:44.200 So, like I said, I'm a moderate on abortion.
01:14:47.200 I think abortion should be safe and legal.
01:14:49.040 But I think we have to keep within the, you know, Casey versus Planned Parenthood and Roe v. Wade.
01:14:54.560 I think that's a reasonable standard.
01:14:56.300 But they've blown so far past that.
01:14:59.560 I remember when I saw the state legislator in New York, when they passed the late-term abortion bill.
01:15:07.040 And I saw them standing up and clapping, clapping.
01:15:10.700 I thought to myself, this is sick.
01:15:12.360 Sick.
01:15:13.000 Sick.
01:15:13.980 I believe that the average American, they don't think about abortion because they don't want to.
01:15:21.300 Because they don't want to think about that decision with themselves or with their baby or with their daughter.
01:15:28.000 They just don't want to think about it.
01:15:29.700 And so they've gotten, they're comfortable with viability and, you know, first trimester and just leave it there.
01:15:45.120 When you're talking about someone shouting their abortion, that's not safe, rare, and legal.
01:15:52.700 You're now celebrating.
01:15:55.060 A woman in Seattle was speaking to a progressive conference.
01:15:58.580 And she said, I'm so happy to be back in Seattle.
01:16:02.200 My first and, frankly, my best abortion happened here.
01:16:08.120 I don't know why I'm laughing.
01:16:10.900 I mean, it's really disturbing.
01:16:12.820 Because it's a psychotic thing to say.
01:16:15.040 Can you imagine saying, can you imagine if you went to a vet and a vet put your dog down and came out and went, that was my first.
01:16:24.440 And, ooh, I have to tell you, that's one of the best things I've ever done.
01:16:29.380 You would say that guy's a psycho.
01:16:31.940 Yes.
01:16:32.680 Look, I mean, you look at Russia.
01:16:35.000 And in Russia, they really use abortion as birth control.
01:16:37.720 And that's how, I mean, is that where we want to go here in this country?
01:16:40.880 And, by the way, this is so far afield from what, I mean, even Bill Clinton, what Bill Clinton said about abortion, right?
01:16:47.960 Want to keep it rare, safe, and legal.
01:16:50.240 I mean, we're so far afield from that.
01:16:52.240 And, again, it goes back to the same theme.
01:16:53.720 I'll keep repeating it because it bears repeating.
01:16:56.300 90% of the country isn't there.
01:16:59.440 The majority of the Democratic Party isn't there.
01:17:01.660 They are so outrunning their flank, they're killing themselves.
01:17:04.460 So what's going to happen during the election?
01:17:07.040 What do you think we're going to see for this election?
01:17:10.180 I think you're not going to see Biden as the nominee.
01:17:12.020 I'll tell you that right now.
01:17:13.260 Why?
01:17:13.980 Oh, you can already see the quivers are all coming out against him.
01:17:18.400 I mean, listen, he's 30 points ahead.
01:17:21.900 A year means nothing right now.
01:17:24.120 It means nothing.
01:17:24.780 We're a year plus from this thing.
01:17:26.820 You know how many things are going to come, are going to toss and turn by then?
01:17:29.440 And he will not be leaving the field.
01:17:30.660 He said that when Donald Trump, at the same time in the election cycle, actually it was a month later, it was in June, I think.
01:17:37.260 Yeah.
01:17:37.460 Because that's when he joined.
01:17:38.840 He came out and he was eight or ten points ahead.
01:17:41.720 Everybody said he's not going to win.
01:17:43.240 Oh, this is going to be over.
01:17:44.420 Donald Trump was a black swan.
01:17:45.720 You can't use any kind of historical yardstick to Donald Trump because it was the definition of a political black swan.
01:17:53.000 This is not what's going to happen with...
01:17:54.640 But that black swan, the argument on the Democratic side would be that black swan is so damaged now, it's not 2016, it's 2020.
01:18:05.160 He's run his course.
01:18:06.840 Which is why they're not going to pick Biden.
01:18:08.700 Biden's only advantage is electability.
01:18:11.800 Nobody wants to him for his perspectives.
01:18:15.200 So if that's true, and I think you're right, that they think the country cannot wait to throw him out, then let's go all in on the woke president.
01:18:23.880 Let's bring the first woke president in.
01:18:25.240 But I don't think that I think the...
01:18:28.480 I think it falls apart in the end if he is the nominee because I think all the woke people will be like, are you kidding me?
01:18:33.800 You gave me that again?
01:18:36.640 Oh, you see a revolution in the Democratic Party if he's elected.
01:18:38.600 Oh, yeah, I think so, too.
01:18:41.300 You have to look at Biden and say, when there's a 10...
01:18:49.540 I'm being really generous.
01:18:51.960 I think the lowest spread from him and the other candidates, I think the lowest poll I've seen is 21 points.
01:18:59.420 That's a big spread.
01:19:00.640 Up to 40 points.
01:19:01.900 Yes.
01:19:02.120 When you see that, to me, that says why you are getting into this race.
01:19:08.940 That says to me, the Democratic voters are like, thank God, I don't want any of that crap.
01:19:14.780 That's crazy town stuff.
01:19:17.560 Thank God, I'll take him.
01:19:18.680 Yes, I'll take him.
01:19:19.860 Because who else is there?
01:19:22.220 Let's remember also that the people who are in the polls, who are called on the phone, are not necessarily the same people who vote in the primaries.
01:19:30.200 People who vote in the primaries are far more to the left, as all primaries are, not just the Democrats, than the person who's being called on the phone and saying, what's your opinion?
01:19:38.660 So I'm not sure that...
01:19:39.500 I think that spread is a little bit exaggerated as compared to...
01:19:43.340 Who do you think will be the president in 2020?
01:19:47.280 Yeah, I think that's me.
01:19:49.260 I think that's me.
01:19:50.560 I think I'll be president in 2020.
01:19:52.300 Yeah, I mean, I've already been looking at the...
01:19:54.500 Do all the other candidates have to become very, very ill?
01:19:58.560 There has to be a cataclysmic event.
01:20:02.520 Yeah, right.
01:20:02.720 I mean, a comment has to hit, and you're like the lone survivor, and you're like, it's me, I guess.
01:20:07.300 I'm the designated guy.
01:20:08.540 I'm always really bad at doing the March Madness.
01:20:13.340 I always pick my school I went to.
01:20:15.240 It doesn't matter how bad they are.
01:20:16.320 So let's take me out of it for the moment.
01:20:18.780 I think that there is better than a 50-50 chance the president wins re-election, and the number goes up significantly if the economy stays where it is, and or if the Democrats elect somebody who is far to the left.
01:20:35.380 So I think any time you kind of make this analysis on who you think is going to win, you've got to kind of game it through.
01:20:41.360 If they choose a guy like Joe Biden, or even a Pete Buttigieg, although we're not really sure what he is exactly, I mean, he's been open about he has not formulated all of his policies yet, which is absurd to me.
01:20:54.400 I don't know how you can run for president and not have every single...
01:20:56.920 Like, when I came here, like, we're going to talk about policies.
01:20:59.140 I mean, I just jumped in the race a week ago, and my policies are all formulated.
01:21:03.060 There's no policy I can say pass.
01:21:06.580 But if they put somebody who is not radical, I think it's a 50-50 shot with the president.
01:21:13.440 I think they take something radical.
01:21:15.120 I think the number goes 60-40, if not higher, for the president.
01:21:20.100 Let's go to...
01:21:21.780 Well, let me go to this.
01:21:25.860 What happens is the Democrats don't win with a radical or with Joe Biden.
01:21:31.540 What happens to the Democrats after the election?
01:21:34.900 What do you mean?
01:21:36.000 I mean, you're saying...
01:21:37.440 I mean, everybody thought, I mean, they were all acting like, gee, Donald Trump won.
01:21:43.520 We should ask ourselves, what role did we play in this?
01:21:47.800 And what have we done wrong?
01:21:49.900 I know what we've done wrong is we haven't become full-fledged communists.
01:21:53.900 That's it.
01:21:54.420 I mean, they learned the absolute wrong lesson from 2016.
01:21:58.560 The absolute wrong lesson.
01:22:00.060 Right.
01:22:00.300 Do they do it again?
01:22:01.540 Of course.
01:22:02.760 Of course.
01:22:03.840 Yes.
01:22:04.340 They do it again.
01:22:05.440 They do it again.
01:22:07.560 They...
01:22:08.480 And I just...
01:22:09.880 They're...
01:22:10.400 I don't know why it is.
01:22:11.300 Maybe it's a mechanism of the Democratic Party.
01:22:13.040 I don't know why it is.
01:22:13.960 But the silent majority of the Democratic Party just doesn't have a voice anymore.
01:22:19.240 And it's the radicals who are running this party.
01:22:23.520 I mean, Tom...
01:22:24.120 If you don't remember, Tom Perez wasn't the guy who was supposed to win the head of the DNC.
01:22:31.060 I mean, they don't have a radical.
01:22:32.780 It was the odds on a favorite.
01:22:33.920 But because anti-Semitism was kind of apparent, they pulled them off and they put Tom Perez there instead.
01:22:39.800 I mean, all...
01:22:40.880 I don't think that would happen today.
01:22:43.040 I think you're right.
01:22:44.580 I think you're right.
01:22:45.300 I mean, it's...
01:22:47.760 It's...
01:22:48.400 I just hate repeating myself, but it is true.
01:22:51.360 The...
01:22:51.760 They've moved...
01:22:53.500 The Democrats have moved so far to the left that they've changed political physics.
01:22:59.200 They've changed the political center of gravity just wildly away from the center.
01:23:05.060 Wildly away from the center.
01:23:06.740 And like I said, I did say that they are...
01:23:08.280 They have over the last 25 years inexorably been moving to the left, but it's been slow.
01:23:12.980 It's been a slow move.
01:23:13.860 You talk to a lot of people.
01:23:15.640 Well, you've done issues all over the world.
01:23:21.620 I don't hear Democrats waking up saying what you're saying.
01:23:27.520 No, you're right.
01:23:29.720 And that's...
01:23:30.260 My gut tells me you're right.
01:23:33.140 My gut tells me that Democrats are not for this.
01:23:36.080 But I don't hear it.
01:23:38.080 It goes back to what we said about how politics is not necessarily first and foremost among most people,
01:23:43.620 including Democrats or Republicans.
01:23:44.700 And I don't think they see what we see.
01:23:46.980 I mean, we're junkies.
01:23:47.820 We're watching news every single day.
01:23:49.440 I mean, we wake up with it.
01:23:50.560 We go to sleep with it.
01:23:51.680 We know what's happening minute by minute, never mind month by month.
01:23:56.360 I think, unfortunately, it's going to be too late, if not already, for the casual Democrat,
01:24:04.180 whatever you want to phrase them, who's going to wake up and say, I don't even recognize this party anymore.
01:24:11.420 I mean, do you remember famously what Ronald Reagan said?
01:24:15.420 I never left the Democratic Party.
01:24:16.740 The Democratic Party left me.
01:24:17.860 That's exactly what I think.
01:24:18.880 That was one guy.
01:24:19.660 I think you're seeing that maybe with the majority of Democrats.
01:24:22.560 I think that if Donald Trump wins again, they go full crazy.
01:24:29.260 They go full crazy.
01:24:30.300 That's why we didn't win.
01:24:31.300 We weren't true enough to our beliefs.
01:24:33.280 You have done some pretty frightening things.
01:24:58.180 Okay, so now this is a podcast my wife and children cannot watch.
01:25:01.420 Yeah.
01:25:03.280 And yet you're an optimist.
01:25:12.340 With all that you see, with all the things that you know, I guess I'm asking you this personally.
01:25:24.440 I'm generally an optimist.
01:25:26.120 People think I'm a pessimist, but I'm not.
01:25:27.660 I'm a guy who can see over the horizon a bit, see what's coming, and I'm just telling you, hey, that's what's coming.
01:25:38.400 Exits here, here, and here.
01:25:40.220 You should take one because you don't want to go there.
01:25:43.160 But as we pass all those exits, and I see that coming closer and closer, I get a little bummed and worried about basic freedoms being lost.
01:26:00.080 I try not to show that while I'm on the air, but you see these things coming because you've witnessed them firsthand.
01:26:11.080 I've seen the blackness of life firsthand.
01:26:17.120 Look, I'm a short-term pessimist, long-term optimist.
01:26:21.900 I think ultimately we make the right decisions.
01:26:24.080 We don't sometimes in the short term when we learn lessons and we move on from them.
01:26:28.840 But it's the fact that we learn lessons, which is why I'm a long-term optimist.
01:26:32.640 It's not written in stone that we will succeed as a race, as a human race.
01:26:38.480 It's not written in stone.
01:26:39.200 We have to make the right decisions.
01:26:40.320 We have to learn.
01:26:41.820 If I feel that we've stopped as, you know, let's talk about our country as opposed to the entire world.
01:26:46.640 But as a country, if I think we've stopped learning the lessons of the past, then I will switch.
01:26:53.460 I'll become a pessimist.
01:26:54.700 I think at this point we're not there.
01:26:56.120 I think we do learn our lessons.
01:26:57.140 I think the American population generally makes the right decisions.
01:27:00.680 After we've tried everything else, as Churchill said.
01:27:04.000 Sometimes.
01:27:04.840 Sometimes.
01:27:06.120 Sometimes it doesn't take that long, and usually, hopefully, it doesn't.
01:27:10.040 But yeah, no, no, I've seen the darkness, and it's scary.
01:27:14.700 What does it look like?
01:27:16.640 Yeah, I'll tell you, it can look very banal.
01:27:20.800 You know, I've sat across, I've sat across a guy who's responsible for the Passover massacre in Etanya.
01:27:28.300 Do you remember that massacre in Etanya?
01:27:30.080 I think I was there.
01:27:31.420 Where they blew up a old-age home full of mostly Holocaust survivors.
01:27:36.860 I sat in front of this guy for an hour talking to him.
01:27:39.320 Wow.
01:27:40.060 And you know what?
01:27:41.540 You talk to him, and the man sounds, reasonable is not the right word,
01:27:46.100 but he sounds like a normal, for sure lucid.
01:27:48.760 Oh, this is a guy who went to the University of Alabama.
01:27:51.360 Roll Tide.
01:27:52.460 Okay?
01:27:53.320 I mean, this is evil incarnate.
01:27:56.400 I'm looking at evil incarnate.
01:27:58.560 I've met with Islamic Jihad.
01:28:00.300 I've met with ISIS.
01:28:01.880 I've met with neo-Nazis.
01:28:04.820 I've embedded it with neo-Nazis.
01:28:06.540 I've seen these people.
01:28:08.000 I was just with the KKK, leader of the KKK, just in North Carolina, just a couple of months ago.
01:28:13.600 And what's so scary about it is their kind of seemingly normalness on the surface.
01:28:20.440 Like, you can have a regular conversation about football with a guy.
01:28:25.820 This is a guy who stabbed another member of the KKK because they had an argument of who was the most racist.
01:28:32.200 Okay?
01:28:32.560 That's literally what happened.
01:28:34.340 And he went to jail for it.
01:28:35.760 But, yeah, we sat there.
01:28:36.960 We could talk about football and kids and normal stuff.
01:28:39.800 But you can just, you feel just, it's almost tactile underneath the surface.
01:28:46.360 The evil below it.
01:28:47.540 I think most Americans who are at all paying attention feel that.
01:28:57.240 It's that unsettled feeling of something's not right.
01:29:04.060 Something's just not right.
01:29:06.440 Don't know what it is, but this doesn't feel good.
01:29:09.080 This doesn't feel right.
01:29:10.280 Those who are just barely awake, I think, see that.
01:29:19.200 Look, you know, I have all these friends, acquaintances, just people I don't know, and on the left.
01:29:27.780 And they just can't wait for Pax Americana to end.
01:29:31.920 They think that America is the root of all evil we've seen in the world.
01:29:35.780 They really believe that.
01:29:36.500 Now, again, I'm not talking about Democrats.
01:29:38.380 And I'm talking about the leftists, right?
01:29:40.960 These are my sworn enemies.
01:29:42.100 Leftists are my sworn enemies, okay?
01:29:44.120 They're the biggest threat this country has.
01:29:45.620 Not the 10,000 neo-Nazis in this country, okay, who everybody kind of shunts aside anyways as psychopathic.
01:29:51.980 They don't have the university system.
01:29:53.680 The Nazis don't have the university system.
01:29:55.440 They don't have any control of any levers, but the leftists do, okay?
01:29:58.400 What I witness in universities, in our campuses, it makes me cry at night, okay?
01:30:04.600 But these people want Pax Americana to end.
01:30:07.080 The one thing I can tell them with 100% certainty, there's not a lot, I cannot, there's things I can prognosticate on that I'm right and not right on, I don't know.
01:30:13.780 This thing I have 100% certainty.
01:30:16.820 One day, Pax Americana will end.
01:30:18.540 Okay, nothing lasts forever.
01:30:19.620 And I hope it's not 100 years from now.
01:30:21.220 I hope it's 1,000 years from now.
01:30:22.660 But one day, it will end.
01:30:24.300 And the one thing I know for certain is that historians, when they write the history of that period of time, will say that's when humanity entered a phase of darkness.
01:30:33.960 That will last for, I don't know how long.
01:30:36.080 You know, Churchill wrote the history of the English-speaking people.
01:30:41.320 Yep, have it on my shelf.
01:30:41.920 There was a book, and I can't remember the writer now.
01:30:45.400 It's a great book.
01:30:46.760 He dared finish it for the century.
01:30:49.660 It came out about 2005, okay?
01:30:51.900 And one of the last paragraphs in the book is so powerful because he's talking about how after 9-11, you know, turn of the century, you started to see America shift and the West shift.
01:31:10.400 And it started to look back at itself, saying, ick, and what have we done and who are we?
01:31:19.280 Because the rest of the world was saying it to them.
01:31:22.780 And he said, there will come a day that it will end, the rule of the English-speaking people.
01:31:33.520 And when that day comes, the world will weep and realize how benevolent, how good, how decent, how true that society really was in at least its attempt.
01:31:54.040 You racist.
01:31:58.120 You know what?
01:31:59.740 You belong on stage with the Democrats.
01:32:01.540 You know what?
01:32:04.980 Yeah, I'm a Western supremacist.
01:32:07.180 Sorry.
01:32:08.140 Sue me.
01:32:08.920 Yeah.
01:32:09.340 I believe the West has done more for this planet than anybody in the history of the world.
01:32:16.280 And America among them all.
01:32:18.400 Okay?
01:32:18.740 America among them all.
01:32:19.620 Yeah, I'm an America supremacist.
01:32:21.000 Yes.
01:32:21.680 Yes.
01:32:22.600 I am.
01:32:23.100 Let me tell you something.
01:32:25.100 A Fiat is a crap box.
01:32:28.320 Nice little car, but back in the, you know, in the day.
01:32:31.540 It was a crap box.
01:32:32.920 Just like a Jaguar was a crap box.
01:32:37.060 The American-made Buick of the 1950s, next to a, next to a Fiat, that's a superior car.
01:32:46.560 The American-made Cadillac, the best American-made car, whatever that might be today, the Cadillac,
01:32:54.000 as opposed to a Bentley, a Bentley is superior.
01:32:58.660 There's nothing wrong with saying, you know what?
01:33:02.920 Some of these are better.
01:33:03.540 This is better than that.
01:33:05.600 Apparently there is.
01:33:06.620 Yeah, apparently.
01:33:07.320 Apparently there is.
01:33:08.840 Best of luck.
01:33:09.640 Thank you.
01:33:10.080 It was a real pleasure.
01:33:10.620 Just a reminder, I'd love you to rate and subscribe to the podcast and pass this on to a friend
01:33:22.000 so it can be discovered by other people.
