The moment court opens today, Elon Musk is reportedly going to destroy the left-wing cancel mob and Michael Knowles publicist Media Matters with facts and lawsuits. The promise from Musk comes after a report from Media Matters last week alleging that X, formerly known as Twitter, is serving up mainstream corporate ads next to neo-Nazi content.
00:01:25.920They had finally caught Elon with his pants down until Elon pulled up the back-end data
00:01:32.480and discovered that Media Matters had made the whole thing up.
00:01:38.280According to the actual X logs, of the 5.5 billion ad impressions that were served the day that Media
00:01:46.660Matters conducted its research, fewer than 50, not 50 million, not 50, 5-0, were served alongside the content highlighted by Media Matters.
00:01:57.860The data showed that for one brand showcased in the article, two of its ads served adjacent to two posts three times, and that ad was only seen in that setting by one user, the author of the Media Matters article.
00:02:16.160In other words, the whole thing was a hoax.
00:02:19.200Media Matters made a bunch of dummy accounts and then gamed the algorithm relentlessly until they could get even a handful of examples to back up its fraudulent claim.
00:02:28.900All of which prompted Musk to declare, quote,
00:02:31.860Now, the split-second court opens on Monday.
00:02:35.000X Corp will be filing a thermonuclear lawsuit against Media Matters and all those who colluded in this fraudulent attack on our company.
00:02:45.100On the one hand, Musk is obviously right.
00:02:49.540And frankly, we've all known that Media Matters and the other left-wing cancel groups, the ADL, Right Wing Watch, all the rest of them, have been pulling this sort of fraud for years.
00:03:24.740But I am willing to put my selfish desires aside for the good of the country.
00:03:30.640If it wasn't clear before, it should be now.
00:03:32.800Now, Elon's buying Twitter was a complete game-changer for conservatives.
00:03:38.840It gave us our first foothold into the big tech platforms that control our public square.
00:03:43.940Elon is taking a lot of slings and arrows for us, but the foothold seems to be working and scaring the libs to death.
00:03:50.920And they're scared because they know that big tech censorship was indispensable to their rigging of the 2020 election.
00:03:57.500And if 2024 is a rematch, as it's looking like it will be, then their inability to censor conservatives this time around might, might just cost them the election.
00:04:44.500But first, I don't want to move on quite yet from these radical libertarian wrenches in the left-wing system that govern us.
00:04:54.020Not just Elon Musk, but also the soon-to-be president of Argentina, Javier Millet, who no one really knows anything about.
00:05:04.400But I think a lot of people, especially on the right, realize represents a major change in Argentina and a change that is positive and a lurching to the right.
00:05:15.600Here is just one clip from Mr. Millet.
00:07:35.120And that is preferable to some radical progressive leftist.
00:07:39.740But it's not quite the same thing as a traditionalist conservative, okay?
00:07:44.200And if you look around the political environment, a radical libertarian might be the first step that we need.
00:07:54.660We might not have a whole lot of other options here, okay?
00:07:57.000I don't think we're going to have a Jacobite rising and the restoration of, you know, the old regime in France or anything like that, okay?
00:08:03.920We might, this might be the best that we can get.
00:08:06.860Javier Millet is really good on abortion, it seems.
00:08:18.840He's really good on recognizing threats from the political left.
00:08:23.000He's really good on inspiring the people, bringing the people in, you know, that deplorable, irredeemable hoi polloi that the leftists hate.
00:08:32.360He brings them into a popular political movement.
00:08:34.740One hopes that his election heralds good things for the future, just as the Brexit in the UK was a sign, augured very well, and made it seem as though Donald Trump might be elected and then he was elected in 2016.
00:08:48.480Perhaps Millet's election in 2023 in Argentina shows good signs for 2024 in the United States.
00:08:55.160But when you look at all the really big right-wing wins, they tend to come from more libertarian-minded people.
00:09:05.040Javier Millet was asked about homosexuality.
00:09:07.300And there are other right-wing strongmen, you know, in Latin America who have had clearer views on family, on the complementarity of the sexes, on tradition and social order.
00:09:23.540Someone like Jair Bolsonaro who said, no, we're not going to be encouraging pride parades.
00:10:12.160He's got a kind of social conservatism to him.
00:10:15.000He's clearly got an opposition to the radical leftists.
00:10:18.360But can we channel this reaction against collectivism?
00:10:24.060Can we channel this reaction against the leftist lunatics, the, in Javier Millet's words, S-H-I-T, libtards, or whatever leftards that he calls them?
00:10:33.620Can we channel that popular sentiment into a profound and enduring coherent conservatism?

00:11:55.360Speaking of potentially decisive conservative wins, Speaker Mike Johnson has now promised to release 44,000 hours of January 6th footage.
00:12:09.140So, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats, they had all the January 6th footage, but they realized that it contradicted their fraudulent narrative that they had made.
00:12:17.620The January, sorry, sorry, excuse me, I'm sorry, I misspoke.
00:12:20.600I meant to say, January 6th, the worst day in the history of this or any republic the day that democracy almost collapsed.
00:12:33.000We were told that it was an insurrection, a near coup d'etat that nearly shredded the Constitution.
00:12:39.900Democracy just was on the brink of total annihilation.
00:12:45.340Or sacred temple of democracy, the Capitol was attacked, which wasn't even true.
00:12:50.480It was just a bunch of eccentric people walking through the Capitol compared to the actual leftist attacks on the Capitol that have happened at least half a dozen times in recent decades.
00:13:01.400Where radical leftists set off bombs, started shooting congressmen, that sort of thing, which happened not in the distant past, but just some decades ago.
00:13:11.640We were told that January 6th, the podium guy, you know, the Nancy Pelosi lectern guy waving at the cameras or the horn hat guy walking through getting a private tour guided by the Capitol police of the Capitol, that that was the grave threat to democracy.
00:13:23.960Tucker Carlson was able to release some of the January 6th footage.
00:13:28.060Now Mike Johnson says he's going to release the rest of it.
00:13:31.360Brandon Strzokka had a good take on this, which is he tweeted out just a little bit of footage showing a handful of people walking through the Capitol.
00:13:40.220Again, not tearing things down, not shooting people, not vandalizing anything.
00:13:46.140There's one guy in particular, he's wearing a red MAGA sweater and he's just, he's just videoing.
00:15:38.360Them, perhaps more than the others even.
00:15:41.340Because they were fake conservatives, you know, rhinos.
00:15:47.080They were Republicans in name only in the truest sense of that term.
00:15:50.180Meaning that their entire raison d'etre in Washington was to put on a performance as a Republican.
00:15:59.620But at all the crucial moments, they would side with the Democrats.
00:16:03.360Whenever it really counted, whenever the Democrats needed some semblance of an actual opposition, they would sit on the January 6th committee.
00:16:13.840But the January 6th committee, ostensibly investigating what happened on January 6th, actually served the opposite purpose.
00:16:24.780And they made sure that as long as they had any power at all, they would keep the tapes that showed what really happened on that day, that exculpated a lot of people, they would keep that to themselves.
00:17:25.360This is one of the biggest attacks on Trump.
00:17:26.880Stop talking about January 6th and stop talking about the 2020 election.
00:17:31.400How are we going to stop talking about it?
00:17:33.180We're running again, almost certainly with the same candidate.
00:17:36.060There are still people who are being prosecuted.
00:17:39.420There are people who have sat in prison for years because of the nonsense of the January 6th investigators and prosecutors.
00:17:47.200And we're probably going to have a rematch of the 2020 election.
00:17:51.380So if you don't change any of the rigging, if you don't shed some light on the ways that the left cheated and persecuted people who had the audacity to vote against the ruling party, the Democrats, how are you possibly going to have a fair election in 2024?
00:18:09.840Okay, guys, you can't just move on and keep your—I guess if you want to be like a Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger Republican, and you want to just lose with dignity,
00:18:17.200no dignity involved whatsoever, by the way, then fine.
00:18:20.180But if you want to be an actual conservative, an actual Republican, you can't just move on.
00:18:24.300What the left did in 2020 and in the days following 2020 was horrific, was a resetting of our political order, and was downright evil in these cases that led to despair and death and imprisonment for bogus reasons.
00:18:40.640You've got to fix that if you don't want it to happen again in the future.
00:18:43.500Speaking of that insurrection, insurrection, a Colorado judge was just tasked with deciding whether or not to kick Donald Trump off the ballot because the left is arguing that Donald Trump is disqualified from running again under the 14th Amendment because the 14th Amendment says,
00:19:03.740if you've ever been a traitor and you've led an insurrection against the country, then you are disqualified from public office.
00:19:14.260And the judge just ruled that that is a ridiculous argument.
00:19:20.300And actually, the way that this judge issued the ruling is particularly devastating for the left-wing case because this judge is not some Trump appointee.
00:20:01.240Even some hysterical lib judge in Colorado, which has become super left-wing ever since they legalized the Haitian oregano.
00:20:11.140Everyone's just walking around high as a kite all the time, muttering ridiculous lib phrases like insurrection and political violence or whatever.
00:20:19.100And even still, she says, she put the bong down long enough.
00:20:23.720I don't want to accuse her of being a pothead.
00:20:38.320Guys, this 14th Amendment insurrection, it's complete nonsense.
00:20:42.460You can't keep the man off the ballot for that.
00:20:44.880And I think what's implicit in all of these cases is the only reason they're trying to keep Trump off the ballot is because they know that if they put him on the ballot, a lot of people, maybe most people, maybe most people in the crucial states,
00:20:57.680are going to vote for him, just like they did in 2016.
00:21:04.440And why might people want to reelect Donald Trump?
00:21:07.300Well, one reason, one big reason for me, is that he's the most pro-life president in my lifetime, and he was instrumental and an essential piece of the story of getting Roe v. Wade overruled.

00:22:28.420Speaking of legal attacks on liberal strongholds, the Department of Education is now investigating seven schools, seven colleges and universities, including three Ivy League schools, four alleged incidents of anti-Semitism and anti-Muslim harassment.
00:22:49.440Those schools include Lafayette, Wellesley.
00:22:55.260Isn't Wellesley the school that What's-Her-Face went to, that my cousin, Hillary Clinton, went to?
00:23:00.560Cooper Union and a public school district in Kansas, so not even just the colleges and universities.
00:23:09.220And then of the Ivy League schools, Columbia, Cornell, and UPenn.
00:23:14.040This is obviously a problem at these campuses.
00:23:17.340I was just at Cornell, and I was at Cornell one week after some kid threatened to murder all the Jews on campus and slit the throats of the Jewish men and do all sorts of unspeakable things to the Jewish women and even was threatening Jewish babies.
00:23:30.380And it was really, I mean, this is real.
00:23:51.700I'm not going to say that they're certainly not happening.
00:23:55.080And both of those things certainly should be investigated.
00:23:57.700And absolutely, I'm all, I am fine with the state going after these big bloated schools that are little more than indoctrination centers for leftism.
00:24:07.860But I got to ask, what about the anti-Christian harassment?
00:24:12.880I'm not denying in any way that there is anti-Jewish harassment.
00:24:18.680And I'm somewhat skeptical, but I'm willing to grant that there's anti-Islam harassment.
00:24:23.200What about the anti-Christian harassment?
00:24:24.840And if you're going to look at this from a racial point of view, if you're saying, well, they're attacking the Jews because the Jews are a tribe, or they're attacking the Muslims because they're Arab, and there's anti-Arab sentiment.
00:24:38.180What about the anti-white sentiment, which is pervasive at all of these schools?
00:24:43.440There's one big distinction between these various types, the anti-Jewish, the anti-Muslim, the anti-Arab, versus the anti-Christian, and often the anti-white.
00:24:55.160The big distinction is, in the former category, those incidents are kids or townspeople just vandalizing things, I don't know, drawing swastikas, an offhanded comment here or there.
00:25:12.120In the case of the anti-Christian and anti-white harassment, that's coming from the classrooms.
00:25:16.880Okay, and those incidents are not happening late at night at an off-campus party or through vandalism on a dorm room wall.
00:25:23.900The anti-Christian and anti-white harassment is coming from the faculty and the administration.
00:25:28.600It's coming from professors who say that we need to abolish whiteness, that that's a goal worth pursuing.
00:25:33.180It's coming from the professors in the administration who are decrying Christianity as an awful imperialist religion that's completely bogus anyway, and even if it weren't bogus, has led to all sorts of terrible things through all of human history.
00:25:44.920That's a big distinction, and I'm opposed to all of it.
00:25:48.800Yeah, keep that, I love it, keep that investigation up of the anti-Islam even and the anti-Semitism and the, sure, keep those investigations up.
00:25:59.380Now, when are we, it's not going to be under the Biden administration, but when are we going to have the political cojones and the correct moral vision and the spine?
00:26:10.580Let's talk about other anatomical features that are a little closer to the intellect.
00:26:14.660When are we going to have the courage and the moral clarity to stand up against that?
00:26:19.100Because that is the kind of harassment that is happening with the official sanction of the universities, the professors, and the administrators.
00:26:28.360Now, speaking of the Jews and the Muslims and the war in the Middle East, the United States is reportedly close to a deal for a at least temporary ceasefire to free some hostages.
00:26:39.240This is being reported now in the press, and it's being widely reported that this deal would free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza in exchange for a five-day pause in the fighting, say people familiar with the emerging terms.
00:26:55.020And I actually, I was having a little bit of a debate on this issue with Professor Jacob this morning, because this, I assumed this was just a good thing.
00:27:03.040But Professor Jacob said, well, if you have a five-day ceasefire, then Hamas might be able to reconstitute itself.
00:27:09.680So it's not a totally uncontroversial thing.
00:27:15.760The reason I think this is good is because the hostages are the key issue here.
00:27:21.640The hostages, one, I think it's good to free the hostages.
00:27:24.640I don't want the hostages to be held hostage any longer by Hamas and these other lunatics.
00:27:28.920But two, the hostages are the key point of escalation here.
00:27:35.140So long as the hostages are being held in Gaza, the war can't end.
00:27:40.060And the prospect of escalation, whether that's from Iran, whether that's from Lebanon, whether that's from China and Russia, whether that's from the United States, whether that's from the Houthis in Yemen, whether that's from who knows?
00:27:50.860We've already got a lot of powers involved in this war.
00:27:53.800The prospect of escalation is much, much higher.
00:27:58.920I'm not backing necessarily the popular left-wing call for a total ceasefire to say, well, you know, Gaza's been punished enough or something.
00:28:07.980I totally recognize that the state of Israel cannot tolerate the security risk of another October 7th attack, cannot tolerate the security risk of Hamas continuing to rule in Gaza.
00:28:20.420Frankly, if Hamas is allowed to continue to govern in Gaza, in the long run, that's probably going to lead to a greater likelihood of war.
00:28:29.360But if we could get a brief ceasefire in exchange for hostages, that seems, I think, good for everybody, but it's certainly good for the U.S. interest.
00:29:36.760Now, the other big announcement that came with Xi's arrival here is that China has now launched the world's fastest internet.
00:29:47.340This is internet with a 1.2 terabit per second link.
00:29:50.560This is not only blowing the U.S. out of the water on this technology, but it's also years ahead of the forecasts for China getting this technology.
00:29:59.400The Chinese network can now send the equivalent of 150 movies per second.
00:30:04.180This is three times faster than the nearest rival in the United States, two years earlier than industry forecasts.
00:30:13.300This has got to be scary stuff if you are a bellicose American patriot who doesn't want China to overtake you on the world stage.
00:30:21.800Because what we do, especially American conservatives, is we lie to ourselves.
00:30:26.520And we say, oh, those Chinese communists, they're communists.
00:30:30.740So they've got some economic system that's never going to work.
00:30:49.280I don't ever think anyone should live in servile fear or stay up at night worrying about some foreign country.
00:30:53.780But you can't just write off China as communist, okay?
00:31:00.140Yes, Xi Jinping uses communist rhetoric sometimes.
00:31:04.300But what he describes is socialism with Chinese characteristics.
00:31:08.460And if you actually go in and read his speeches, there's a lot to them that is fairly conservative, a lot of social conservatism.
00:31:18.840He's been routing a lot of LGBT propaganda out of his movies, out of his culture.
00:31:24.060But even on economics, if that's the primary way you're looking at politics, Xi Jinping promotes economic liberalization in certain areas when it is serving the national interest.
00:31:40.140Okay, this guy does not sound like an orthodox, by-the-book Marxist-Leninist.
00:31:45.980In some ways, the guy sounds like a national conservative, actually.
00:31:48.960Okay, and that should give us all a little bit of pause because it means that Xi Jinping is a clever fellow who's going to avoid some of the pitfalls that the Soviet Union fell into.
00:32:01.040And it could lead the United States to a global war.
00:32:04.600You know, there's this concept promoted by the Harvard political scientist Graham Allison called the Thucydides Trap.
00:32:12.000The notion is that when a rising power challenges a dominant power, the result usually is war.
00:32:21.380Graham Allison has pointed out that three-quarters of the time, of the last major changes to the global order, the last whatever, upwards of 20 changes, in three-quarters of those cases, war, major war, has been the result.
00:32:44.600It's not something I desire, and I'm skeptical about our ability to do it, particularly when China owns the country because they're our main creditor.
00:32:52.240And whenever we want to wage our wars of empire around the world, we borrow the money from China, particularly when China manufactures all our stuff, particularly when the biggest American companies who produce the most important American material products,
00:33:07.920talking about companies like Apple, when they do the vast majority of their manufacturing in China, when, for some reason, American liberals let China into the World Trade Organization and said a rising tide lifts all ships and it's good to see China rise.
00:33:22.480And then China spent the next 20 years stealing all of our intellectual property.
00:34:04.940If one sees the other side as a primary competitor, the most consequential geopolitical challenge, and a pacing threat, it will only lead to misinformed policymaking, misguided actions, and unwanted results.
00:34:14.560China is ready to be a partner and friend of the United States.
00:34:17.080The fundamental principles that we follow in handling China-U.S. relations are mutual respect, peaceful coexistence, and win-win cooperation.
00:34:40.000But you need to recognize I'm not just some backwater, and I'm not just some stupid communist dictator who's headed for the ash heap of history.
00:34:47.160What we've done in China has been working really, really well.
00:34:50.820And you guys in the West have been giving up all of your competitive advantages.
00:34:55.600Not just your material advantages, largely to us, but your political advantages, your philosophical advantages, and certainly your theological advantages, I think is implicit in any sober analysis of the situation.
00:35:07.620So you've forgotten what inspires you.
00:35:10.300You forgot what made your country great.
00:35:11.940You forgot what made your civilization great.
00:35:13.640Now you're a dying civilization, and you're on the decline in virtually every measure.
00:35:24.120And if you want to just keep your head in the sand and deny that until it's too late and go to war, okay, don't blame it on me.
00:35:31.380That is a – he said it in really nice words, and Xi Jinping is really friendly and smiley, and he's palling around with all his Democrat politician buddies in America.
