If you are a Brit who reads the classic novelists of the 20th century, novelists who specifically focused on Christianity and the threats of totalitarianism and dystopia, the current totalitarian government considers you a potential terrorist. The British government has updated its list of warning signs of political radicalization to include reading books by C.S. Lewis, J.R. R. Tolkien, George Orwell, Joseph Conrad, and Aldous Huxley.
00:06:48.660But it's less funny when you consider that this is the man who is supposedly leading the free world, Biden, not Sunak.
00:06:59.500And when you consider that we're on the brink, potentially, of World War III, I don't throw those words around all that lightly.
00:07:07.840I know there are many conservatives who are always catastrophizing about how the nuclear bombs are about to start flying.
00:07:13.120We are closer to World War III now than we've been any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis, certainly, and probably any time since World War II.
00:07:21.880A genuine world war because you've got the first major war in Europe breaking out because Joe Biden screwed up foreign policy in Ukraine.
00:07:28.800And then because you've got a potential war in the Pacific breaking out because Joe Biden is screwing up foreign policy over Taiwan.
00:07:50.280Personnel is policy, as they say in Washington.
00:07:53.420And that personnel includes the President of the United States.
00:07:55.840And if you've got a President who doesn't know who world leaders are, who is bungling foreign policy, just as he's bungling this interaction with the leader of Great Britain, that is not a good situation for us to be in.

00:10:42.380He says, look, it's kind of inappropriate for me to say I don't think he can.
00:10:47.760Something is very wrong with this guy.
00:10:50.360That's not just a cheap political attack.
00:10:52.020That's not the kind of rhetoric that has been focus tested.
00:10:55.360He's just saying what we're all thinking.
00:10:57.720In fact, not only is one of Trump's great strengths and weaknesses his own stream of consciousness,
00:11:02.980what really makes that a strength is that, especially in the 2016 campaign, he was our stream of consciousness too.
00:11:09.120He was just the sort of unvarnished id of the American people saying the things that we all know to be true
00:11:15.900that no one had been allowed to say in politics for a long time up until that point.
00:11:20.820But I don't think Trump is right on the point here.
00:11:24.760When Trump says, how can he run for president?
00:11:26.780I think it's very simple how he can run for president.
00:11:29.960They just sit him in his chair in his living room and the liberal establishment goes to work in exactly the same way that it did in 2020.
00:11:40.720In 2020, Joe Biden pretty much did not campaign.
00:11:44.800He would have a dozen, two dozen people at his campaign events on the rare occasions he would have them.
00:11:49.200And the rest of the time he sat on his front porch and the liberal media did the work for him.
00:11:54.260It was a little easier in 2020 because the liberals had the COVID excuse to justify why Biden wasn't campaigning.
00:12:02.580But now they just won't have him campaign.
00:12:04.740We're in a moment of such transparent partisanship that I'm not sure it really matters.
00:12:13.700Plus, with all the changes to the election system, I'm not totally convinced that if Joe Biden is anywhere even close to within striking distance,
00:12:24.320that the Democrats would not be able to make the numbers work and then sit on the ballot box to quote Franklin Roosevelt giving advice on how to steal elections to one of his mentees,
00:12:35.700Lyndon Baines Johnson, this is explained in the Robert Caro biography of LBJ, I'm not convinced.
00:12:43.360There have always been extra measures that the liberal establishment can use to take elections.
00:12:48.300And I'm not convinced that Joe Biden, who doesn't know what his name is, Joe Biden, who doesn't know which end is up,
00:12:56.060Joe Biden, who doesn't understand who the prime minister of the United Kingdom is on a trip to the UK.
00:13:00.820I'm not convinced that that guy can't run for president without running at all.
00:13:07.200Now, there are new candidates in the race.
00:13:09.440Every day, it seems, there are new candidates running for president, especially in the Republican field.
00:13:13.520I am, and I've maintained this from the beginning, I am going to be the only Republican left in America who will not be running for president in 2024.
00:13:23.160The reason for that, of course, is that I will be constitutionally ineligible.
00:13:26.800Although these days, the Constitution doesn't seem to limit a lot of political action.
00:13:30.840The great thing about that is I guess I'll be the only person eligible to moderate the debates because I'll be the only Republican not on the stage.
00:13:38.160So, drumroll please, who is our new candidate in the race?
00:16:03.860Then Senator Scott goes on and issues this opening salvo to say that I'm forming an exploratory committee, which is the first step to start running.
00:16:23.020And we've known that Senator Scott is going to run for president ever since his publisher leaked that information at this point, what, a year ago?
00:16:32.640And then at that time, Senator Scott's office came out and said, no, we're not.
00:16:35.820We don't have any plans to run for president.
00:16:37.840Why did you stupid publisher leak this information now?
00:16:40.100And, but, but we all knew that he was going to run.
00:16:42.500When people, when politicians put books out during an election cycle, it means almost all the time, not 100% of the time, but almost all the time, that they're going to run for president.
00:16:52.820The problem with the ad is it just feels dated.
00:17:02.260And it feels to me, if this is all we know about the campaign, like a 2012 campaign, which is you're starting to get slicker, more highly produced media, but it's not, it's just, it's like a TV ad.
00:17:19.980But we don't live in the era of TV anymore.
00:17:22.420We live in, not even the era of social media.
00:17:24.900At this point, we live in the hyper-reality of the metaverse.
00:17:28.760We live in, in even shorter, punchier content.
00:17:32.280We're not in the age of YouTube really anymore.
00:17:34.280I mean, we are right here in the sense that many of you are watching this on YouTube.
00:17:38.420But we're in the age of YouTube shorts, right?
00:17:44.400We're in the age of Instagram video where everything's really tight and cut and fresh.
00:17:47.700And Trump was both a symptom of this and one of the causes of it, one of the motivators, where Trump blew open the traditional script on politics.
00:17:59.900Trump ran a campaign that was, in many ways, a meta-campaign.
00:18:04.060It was a political campaign about political campaigns.
00:18:07.080If you remember in 2016, Trump comes out and he says, look, I know, I'm not, I don't sound really presidential.
00:18:21.820It's very difficult then in the post-Trump age, when Trump himself is still running for president, to go back to the old script that he was making fun of.
00:18:32.940You saw this with Chris Christie and Marco Rubio in the 2016 race, when Marco Rubio made some focus-tested comment.
00:18:41.920And Chris Christie said, you know, this is the worst part of these politicians who give the 30-second canned response that they've had a team of consultants right up.
00:19:37.100But if he doesn't figure out a way to make the race about 2024 rather than about a typical old political ad and political messaging, I'm not sure he'll go very far.

00:22:13.560Speaking of 2012 campaigns, speaking of deja vu all over again, Senator Mitt Romney took his first step toward launching a re-election campaign
00:22:25.700by submitting a declaration of candidacy to the Federal Election Commission.
00:22:32.560But the Utah senator stopped short of confirming that he would run for another term.
00:22:38.140So this is Mitt Romney saying, okay, I'm maybe going to run for re-election as senator in Utah, but is leaving that open.
00:22:47.440Now the question is, will Romney run for president in 2024?
00:22:53.560And he just keeps saying, I'm keeping my options open.
00:22:56.580Oh, I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:22:58.400I just want to start being able to raise money.
00:23:30.940If he did choose to run for president in 2024, this would be very bad news for candidates like Nikki Haley, for candidates like Tim Scott, who are running more in the moderate lane.
00:23:42.220I'm not saying Mitt Romney would get the Republican nomination.
00:23:50.480So everyone who thinks Trump's got this totally locked up, everyone who thinks Trump is toast and DeSantis has this totally locked up, everyone, and this seems like almost all Republicans now, who think, well, it's going to be one of those two guys.
00:24:05.480The libs are arresting the leader of the opposition.
00:24:10.380We're going to have a field of about a bazillion candidates.
00:24:16.160Even rumnumentum, rummomentum is not unthinkable.
00:24:22.260Now, speaking of management consultants, Anheuser-Busch has lost over $6.5 billion of market cap after their embrace of Dylan Mulvaney and Trans Ideology.
00:24:36.100The shares of Anheuser-Busch, InBev, dropped nearly 5% after Mulvaney announced that Bud Light deal, wiping out $6.65 billion of market capitalization.
00:24:48.440Before the conservatives start celebrating, remember, this might just be temporary.
00:24:54.480Boycotts are really, really hard, especially against big established companies with a zillion brands like Anheuser-Busch, because you need to pursue them over the long haul.
00:25:04.820When conservatives can focus their fire on one company in particular that maybe is not the largest company, and you can maintain that over a long period of time, like, for instance, the conservative revolt against Harry's Razors that led to the creation of the finest razor product in the world, Jeremy's Razors.
00:25:22.980When you can do that, the boycotts can be effective.
00:25:26.780When you're just angry about a video with a transvestite from your beer company, you might stop buying the beer for a week or two, but eventually, very often, the companies will be able to survive that.
00:25:40.700However, in this case, Anheuser-Busch is clearly worried, as we've got new headlines today, that the Bud Light leadership did not know about this.
00:25:50.340This was done behind their backs by lower-level people in marketing, and they're investigating everything right now.
00:25:57.140According to anonymous sources in the media, no one at the senior level of the company was aware of Bud Light's polarizing partnership with Mulvaney.
00:26:05.980The company is looking into pausing those marketing efforts by trying to implement a more robust process for evaluating future influencer partnerships.
00:26:14.000That, to me, that anonymous source to the journos, that doesn't read like someone just leaking information from the boardroom.
00:26:27.060What that reads to me is a crisis consulting team was brought in to Bud Light to figure out what the hell to do about this,
00:26:35.960because the backlash against Dylan Mulvaney was far greater than Bud Light expected.
00:26:40.100But I don't buy this stuff for a second. No one at the senior level knew about this.
00:33:01.660This semester, because the libs are so furious at me for saying that boys and girls are different,
00:33:05.620people have generally known when I'm on campus because the libs and Antifa and the trans activists have not stopped screaming about it since the events were announced.
00:33:16.100But sometimes what they do is they'll pull down the flyers and they will keep a lid on these things.
00:33:21.840Or they'll go in and they'll reserve all the tickets for the event so that they can either not show up or they can stage a walkout when they do show up and the people who want to get into the event.
00:33:31.980Some people who have traveled a great distance by car, some people who even fly in for these things, won't be able to go see the event.
00:33:37.840So I would recommend tonight, if you haven't been able to get a ticket, if it says it's sold out, and you've got some free time,
00:33:45.940maybe try to show up, wait in the standby line, see if you can get in.
00:34:26.080Yeah, I mean, you know, just content that will solicit a reaction, something that may include something that is slightly racist or slightly sexist, those kinds of things.
00:34:37.160So you think if something is slightly sexist, it should be banned?
00:34:41.840So the conversation begins with the accusation that under Elon Musk's pro-free speech or more pro-free speech Twitter reign, there's more hateful content on the site.
00:44:37.920We're currently looking for a video editor to join our fast-growing post-production team.

00:44:53.800Four-plus years of professional video editing experience and familiarity in working in a very fast-paced environment with high turnaround times is required.
00:45:00.940A link to your reel is required for consideration.
00:45:03.940The position is based in Nashville, Tennessee.
