00:00:59.420 Long live the empire
00:01:01.960 Radical Christian nationalist pastor
00:01:17.740 Joel Webben.
00:01:18.580 Joel Webben.
00:01:19.900 I'm going to talk about Joel Webben.
00:01:21.760 Joel Webben is an accident.
00:01:42.120 Indeed, long live the empire.
00:01:44.700 All right, all jokes aside, that was a pretty baller edit, but our day's episode is going to be focusing on, first, George Lucas. It's important that we get this out of the way right from the beginning. He is a boomer, and he is terrible, absolutely terrible.
00:01:59.600 And so the cinematic genius of Star Wars, I think that that's there.
00:02:05.700 I think that the prequels got a bad rap unfairly.
00:02:09.120 And that kind of plays into the issue of nostalgia.
00:02:12.420 You've got boomers and especially Gen X that remember going to the theater with their father
00:02:17.900 when they're a kid or a teenager and watching The Empire Strikes Back.
00:02:21.920 And then these prequels come out years and years later.
00:02:24.920 And it does not produce the same kind of feeling.
00:02:27.760 the same euphoric sense that watching a movie on the big screen in the theaters with their dad
00:02:36.180 when they're 12 years old produced for them. That's the problem with nostalgia is that nostalgia
00:02:41.260 doesn't just try to recreate something, but it has to recreate the feeling that you experienced
00:02:46.780 when that something occurred. And that's really something that's impossible to do. So cinematic
00:02:52.460 genius when it comes to the prequels of the Star Wars, I think that some of that's there. I don't
00:02:58.520 actually think that the films deserve to be knocked as hard as they were. But in terms of
00:03:03.500 the message, right, so get away from just the cinematography and some of the characters and
00:03:10.220 just the overarching world, the universe that George Lucas created, and get to the moral
00:03:16.280 messaging that he's trying to convey throughout the entirety of the Star Wars films, right? All
00:03:21.720 three of these trilogies. It's a terrible message, and it's exactly what you would expect from a 0.53
00:03:28.100 boomer. The message is rebellion, right? It's the rebellion rising up against the authoritarian
00:03:35.680 figure who's doing what? Bringing law and order to the universe. There's great aesthetics,
00:03:42.360 right? Everything's organized. Everything's put in place. There's stability. There's security.
00:03:46.940 there's uh but but people aren't free to do whatever they want there's no democracy yeah
00:03:53.100 this can't be good people aren't free to do whatever they want where's our sacred democracy
00:03:57.160 um and that's what you're supposed to be upset about and so gen z right the memes are going
00:04:03.680 viral you know and there's a lot of really good ones but gen z uh is kind of saying hey well no
00:04:08.420 we actually resonate with anakin um we actually what's what's the problem with anakin uh he's
00:04:14.760 not allowed to love anyone, be attached to anyone. He's not allowed to have a family.
00:04:19.420 He's not allowed to get married. He's not allowed to have children, posterity.
00:04:22.720 All these things that are innate to human nature that he rightfully desires, he's not allowed to
00:04:29.020 have in order to have any kind of leadership. What are the prerequisites? What are the standards?
00:04:33.640 You have to be utterly detached. You have to be loveless. You have to be loveless. You have to
00:04:39.280 have no attachment to anything except the system. Your full allegiance is to the Republic, right?
00:04:46.080 You have this allegiance to the Republic, and why is Anakin not allowed to be—well, his gifting is
00:04:51.800 off the chart. You know, he's a young white man with a really high, you know, midichlorian or
00:04:56.940 whatever, you know, IQ. He's gifted. He's got great SAT scores and all these things, but he's not
00:05:03.620 qualified at the end of the day because he was not ripped away from his mother young enough.
00:05:10.100 And so he remembers her and loves her and actually goes back to try to save her. And
00:05:16.000 Sam people have captured her, raped her, murdered her, and he reacted with justice, killing them, 0.99
00:05:25.080 and he actually felt something. He felt anger, right? Why is he not qualified? Why is he not 0.99
00:05:31.160 allowed to be on this Jedi council because he's a human being who loves his family and his heritage,
00:05:38.200 his mother, and wants a family of his own, right? Wants to be married and have children.
00:05:43.260 And when terrible things are done, he doesn't have the response of a robot that actually feels
00:05:48.420 something for people that he loves. He goes to Yoda and Yoda warns him that that attachment to
00:05:52.480 his mother is the path to fear. And he says, fear is a path to the dark side because with fear comes
00:05:57.000 with anger and with anger comes hate. So literally he says, I have this strong, deep love and
00:06:02.020 attachment to my mother who's not been rescued from this planet. What should I do? Wise old man,
00:06:07.540 wise old green person in this story. And he says, well, you should rid yourself of all that 1.00
00:06:11.320 attachment that you have and be like me, attached to nothing except, I guess, the prophets of
00:06:15.920 fighting the Republic's wars. Rid yourself of love, essentially. That's ultimately the message
00:06:20.520 is you need to be a loveless, rootless, deracinated human being. It's really barely
00:06:27.580 human at all in order to be virtuous, in order to be moral. And then you look at the Jedi Council
00:06:35.000 themselves, and it's like this thing that Anakin wants to be recognized. He wants the acknowledgement.
00:06:40.440 He wants to arrive and be positioned and not passed over. What do they represent? They're
00:06:45.840 like, well, you killed sand demons with anger in your heart because he killed your mother,
00:06:49.540 and you actually are a human being who loved your mother 0.96
00:06:51.880 and has an allegiance towards her.
00:06:53.400 Therefore, you hate that which threatens who you love, right?
00:06:57.900 It's not so much hatred for that which is in front of you,
00:07:01.460 but it's love and protection for what's behind you,
00:07:04.320 what you're protecting, what you're standing in front of.
00:07:06.860 And that disqualifies you because you're nothing like us.
00:07:10.220 And what is us?
00:07:10.960 The Jedi Council, we're the ones who wage war after war
00:07:14.760 all around the galaxy and nations and planets and species 0.97
00:07:19.140 that we have no investment and no business being in whatsoever,
00:07:23.640 and yet we go and we slaughter and we wage war on behalf of the Republic
00:07:27.760 without questioning whether or not that war is actually moral.
00:07:31.920 And all the while, within our Republic, the true source of evil,
00:07:36.640 the true source of all corruption is our friend right under our nose,
00:07:41.260 and we've never been able, with all our Jedi powers and discernment,
00:07:44.820 we've never been able to detect him.
00:07:46.480 So we work for a system, a managerial system, and we go and fight wars for the managerial system that is incredibly corrupt with a Sith Lord at the helm, and he's our friend, and we haven't even noticed.
00:08:06.560 And so you wonder, why does Gen Z identify with Anakin? 0.74
00:08:10.360 Because they are Anakin. 0.88
00:08:12.100 And the Jedi Council is a deracinated, rootless, loveless, bludgeoned, tool, weapon of the
00:08:19.980 Republic defending our sacred democracy so that the people are able to disagree with
00:08:27.020 the wisest in the land to ensure that those things that would produce prosperity are unable
00:08:32.320 to ever come about.
00:08:33.360 about, and all the while, they are befriending, completely oblivious, the most demonic, evil man
00:08:41.720 in all the galaxy. So, all that being said, at a cinematic level, the prequels to the Star Wars
00:08:49.480 get a bad rap that they don't deserve. In terms of the message, like, what's the message behind it?
00:08:55.240 Well, the message comes from George Lucas, a liberal boomer, and so the message basically just,
00:09:00.680 if you devote your entire life to the opposite of everything that George Lucas intended,
00:09:05.780 you, I mean, you'll be a saint. You could save the world. You certainly will hear,
00:09:11.940 well done, good and faithful servant from the Lord when this life is over and you stand before him
00:09:15.620 because the message could not be more wrong. I mean, the message is absolutely insane. Loveless,
00:09:21.860 rootless, non-feeling, no family, no posterity, no ancestors that you honor or feel beholden to 1.00
00:09:30.220 whatsoever being a bludgeon of the state and the state being controlled by a bunch of retards, 1.00
00:09:37.980 right, aka the people, democracy, waging war on their behalf. Meanwhile, the true source of all 1.00
00:09:44.200 evil you're best friends with and don't have a clue. Well, George Lucas does the same thing that
00:09:49.100 Frank Herbert, the author of Dune, does in that he's a lib and he sets out to write this story
00:09:54.300 warning against hierarchy and warning against fascism and warning against charismatic leaders.
00:09:59.360 But in the process, because he's actually a good storyteller, he actually ends up writing a very right-wing story.
00:10:05.860 The overview of Dune is the rise, obviously, of Paul Atreides, who sets off this holy war.
00:10:11.580 But the way he actually ends up writing the story, what happens is the war forces humanity to expand so they can't ultimately be wiped out.
00:10:19.300 So even despite the war and even despite this leader who leads to billions of people dying, it's actually the thing that saves humanity.
00:10:25.840 So because he's such a good storyteller and because reality aligns with right wing ideals such as strong leaders, authority, responsibility, hierarchy, when a good storyteller gets a hold of something and they write a good story, they can't help it to be right wing.
00:10:41.100 In the same way, George Lucas unintentionally creates a very right wing story about the plight of young men under a system, an ossified old system that's crushing and overbearing.
00:10:53.660 Kongman Lee had a great tweet on this.
00:10:55.220 He said this.
00:10:56.020 He said, 1.00
00:10:56.280 Very pleased to see how many young right-wing Zoomers
00:10:58.700 finally recognizing just how incredible
00:11:01.160 the Star Wars prequel trilogy really was.
00:11:03.580 George Lucas, a visionary,
00:11:04.660 created perhaps the most profound piece
00:11:06.180 of right-wing media in sci-fi form. 1.00
00:11:09.080 Anakin Skywalker is the archetypal disenfranchised chud. 1.00
00:11:12.960 That's just kind of like an internet slang 1.00
00:11:14.340 for that kid who's a little weird,
00:11:16.120 that kid who spends a lot of time on the internet.
00:11:17.620 A young man who genuinely wanted to do good,
00:11:20.820 believed in justice,
00:11:21.660 and trusted a system that presented itself
00:11:24.000 as noble, democratic, and righteous,
00:11:26.580 all to have his innocence, idealism, sense of justice,
00:11:29.860 and vulnerability systematically exploited
00:11:32.740 by the very institutions he believed in.
00:11:35.560 He wanted to make a difference,
00:11:36.880 only to discover that the entire political order
00:11:39.180 he had devoted his life to defending 1.00
00:11:41.240 was deeply corrupt, hypocritical, and wicked. 1.00
00:11:44.460 And in his disillusionment, 1.00
00:11:45.800 he became vulnerable to the very evil
00:11:47.360 he once sought to destroy,
00:11:49.000 a cautionary tale for an entire generation of young men
00:11:51.440 who grew up believing the system was fundamentally good only to discover that the system was never
00:11:56.280 quite what it claimed to be. George Lucas understood the chud psyche long before the chud 1.00
00:12:00.780 was actualized in the zeitgeist. So again, unintentionally capturing- 1.00
00:12:04.580 The only thing I would disagree with, and we like Kongman. We've had him on the show. He's a great
00:12:07.840 guy. He's a friend. I would agree with all that, but I would say that George Lucas set about to
00:12:14.180 convey the opposite, the exact opposite. And the only reason why the message is conveyed at all
00:12:20.100 is because George Lucas actually is intelligent and talented. He's a talented storyteller. So he
00:12:25.340 sets out to tell a lying story. But because he's a good storyteller, he portrays the bad guys in a
00:12:34.020 very accurate and compelling light. And then as a new generation is born, not talking about within
00:12:41.920 the Star Wars universe, but within our actual world of Gen Z, Gen Z is able to see who are
00:12:49.420 actually the bad guys and who are actually the misunderstood guys like Anakin and are able to
00:12:55.840 identify with the correct character. So this assessment from Kongman is top tier, fantastic.
00:13:01.920 The only quibble I would have is I would say that George Lucas doesn't get credit for doing that
00:13:07.540 by design. He meant to do the opposite because he's a very talented director, and yet at the
00:13:13.400 same time, he is a boomer, and therefore he's wrong about everything. Scripture calls Christians 0.55
00:13:18.180 to renew our minds, and that includes how we think about money, work, and stewardship. But most of us
00:13:25.180 were taught to accumulate so that we can consume, rather than build capital so that we can create
00:13:31.000 something that lasts. Reformed finance helps Christians rethink that approach. Whether you're
00:13:37.880 leading a household, a business, or a church, it's time to examine what the world has taught you about
00:13:43.760 money and what it means to steward it faithfully. Learn how to build an approach to financing that
00:13:50.600 gives you more control over your capital, helps you prepare for emergencies, and positions you
00:13:56.780 to seize opportunities with less dependence on someone else's approval. The goal is bigger than
00:14:03.940 your next purchase. It's a family economy strong enough to pass down to the next generation.

00:14:23.420 NMN is a natural NAD plus precursor that supports healthy aging and cellular function.
00:14:30.280 A recent Harvard study showed that NMN can help reduce weight, cholesterol, and even blood pressure in overweight adults.
00:14:38.640 And that's why the FDA moved to strip NMN of its status as a supplement and reclassify it as a prescription drug.
00:14:48.200 But the people fought back, and the people won.
00:14:51.780 They spent millions trying to turn NMN into a drug because it's the best.
00:14:57.580 And that's exactly why Big Pharma wanted to control it.
00:15:01.640 Black Forest is running their biggest deal of the year.
00:15:04.420 So for the next 48 hours only, buy one, get one free, store-wide.
00:15:09.840 They're throwing in an extra bottle of NMN.
00:15:13.320 That's buy one, get two free.
00:15:16.140 This deal is only for my audience.
00:15:18.800 You have to use my link in the description and the pinned comment.
00:15:23.520 Yeah, it's also interesting in this analysis as you realize that we are all like men of our times, right?
00:15:28.640 So, and this is like, this isn't the only example you can think of countless examples probably of art that ages different than its intention, right? You write a book in the early 1920s and then the book by the 60s is interpreted kind of through this different, through a different lens, right?
00:15:43.700 And so you can imagine if you're in the 80s and the 90s and you're watching the Star Wars films, your interpretation is simply just the zeitgeist.
00:15:51.260 It's, well, culturally, societally, what are the relevant themes?
00:15:56.400 What are the topics that people talk about?
00:15:58.020 What are most relevant to me?
00:15:59.540 And then here you are just to talk about the denigration of the American schema, the American system.
00:16:06.080 It's completely inverted.
00:16:07.360 Like that's kind of the big takeaway for me is that what this says more than about the films of George Lucas himself.
00:16:12.820 it says something about how America's changed in 30 years.
00:16:16.700 Think about it as a young person.
00:16:18.180 What did a young man aspire to?
00:16:20.160 What was his ambition?
00:16:21.060 What were the themes?
00:16:23.280 What was his drive?
00:16:25.300 All of these things are like actually fundamentally different now
00:16:28.740 in a matter of decades, right?
00:16:30.400 And so, and this is just one example.
00:16:33.280 Again, if you look at varied interpretations of Shakespeare,
00:16:37.820 you could take a Shakespeare play, Julius Caesar.
00:16:39.720 What did people in the 1950s think about Julius Caesar
00:16:42.280 versus what people today think about Julius Caesar.
00:16:44.480 And what does that say beyond the play itself?
00:16:47.760 What does that say about the society and what's gone wrong?
00:16:50.580 And this is part of like, I mean, this is a movie,
00:16:52.940 but that's part of what's happening right now with historical figures.
00:16:57.280 So not just plays and films,
00:16:58.680 but that's part of what has happened historically
00:17:02.500 as generation after generation goes by in the case of Napoleon.
00:17:06.660 So Napoleon, shortly after his own life, he was demonized. 0.98
00:17:12.620 Napoleon was a monster. 0.88
00:17:14.140 He was this authoritarian warlord. 0.99
00:17:18.840 He's the bad guy.
00:17:20.980 And then time goes by, and there's a new generation of individual thinkers who reinterpret Napoleon and looking back on his life.
00:17:30.260 But then within their context, their place in time, providence, they interpret him differently.
00:17:35.340 and they might go from demonizing him to lionizing him and then time continues to pan out and
00:17:41.240 eventually this is what happens this is what happens with film and art this is what happens
00:17:45.760 with history and human beings uh that were noteworthy throughout history is they will
00:17:52.700 often be demonized then lionized and eventually humanized this is what's happening right now with
00:17:59.040 Adolf Hitler, right? Adolf Hitler, the generation that was actually affected by him is now in many
00:18:05.580 ways gone. There's a few, you know, living relics that are still alive today. But for the most part, 0.90
00:18:12.240 people are more removed from World War II than they've ever been, ever been, and don't have
00:18:19.400 any kind of personal attachment that prior generations had. And so now you have young
00:18:26.600 people who are looking at adolf hitler and saying well wait what was he against again like what
00:18:32.580 books were they burning you know and uh where was the first transgender surgeries being performed
00:18:38.500 and who was the one performing it and uh wait a second he and he didn't want the extinction of
00:18:44.760 white people and it like and they're looking at adolf hitler through a different lens and they're
00:18:48.500 like okay remind me again why is he the bad guy and that's not my position that's not our position
00:18:54.120 I think that Adolf Hitler did some things that truly were atrocious, but I think that what history
00:19:00.100 does generation by generation is demonize, lionize, humanize, demonize, lionize, humanize.
00:19:08.960 And I think that the truth, the truth about anything, whether it be Napoleon or whether it
00:19:14.400 be Star Wars or whether it be Hitler or whether it be Shakespeare, the truth usually lies somewhere
00:19:19.920 in between. And it requires time. I think time is incredibly helpful to be able to look back
00:19:29.320 with objectivity and not bias. And right now, and it'll go back again. I don't think it's just
00:19:37.120 demonize, lionize, and then humanize, and that's the final word. I think part of it also, again,
00:19:42.400 is providence. What moment is a particular generation of people living in? For us right
00:19:48.680 now, we're living in a moment of mass immigration, globalism. Everyone has credit card debt, 0.62
00:19:56.620 global capitalism, exorbitant forms of usury. Younger generations can't afford a home.
00:20:04.740 The national debt is 40 trillion or 42 trillion, whatever it is, by the time this episode airs.
00:20:11.460 And it's 43.
00:20:12.200 Yeah. So we're living with exorbitant usury, debt, diversity, where our nation is filled 0.86
00:20:23.320 with millions and millions of people who are here and shouldn't be here and have not even 1.00
00:20:29.480 tried to assimilate. They don't speak the same language. And so we look at our world today, 0.90
00:20:35.860 younger generations, and we think, what's so wrong with the empire? What's so wrong with
00:20:41.540 anakin you know and then there may be another time you know where things are are better and 1.00
00:20:47.840 people can afford to live and we're not in another war in the middle east and iran you know bombing
00:20:54.000 sand people on tatooine yeah exactly we're not bombing sand people you know at least anakin
00:20:59.160 killed sand people because they they raped and killed his mom um and he did it with passion
00:21:04.560 and i would argue that his passion was um at least defensible or or explainable um we're bombing 0.98
00:21:12.680 brown people in the sand for the hell of it for the love of the game literally just for the love
00:21:18.000 of the game off the table we're still doing it yeah it's like we're just gonna we're just gonna 0.99
00:21:22.360 bomb brown people on the other side of the world for more expensive oil because yeah it's like and 1.00
00:21:28.540 we know it's cheaper oil it's hurt us economically like your own native citizens won't be able to 1.00
00:21:33.780 afford to live. You're coming up to a midterm election. It's going to cost you dearly. Yeah, 0.92
00:21:40.840 but there's nothing we love more than bombing brown people in the Middle East, 1.00
00:21:45.500 and especially doing it for Israel. So let's go. So on that backdrop, you can see why 1.00
00:21:53.140 the Anakin Skywalker memes might be picking up a little bit of emotion, as the kids would say
00:21:58.440 online and a lot of young people are like, yeah, Anakin doesn't seem that bad. You're not going to
00:22:04.220 be able to get me to hate Anakin. Seems like he was great. The only downside is as he ruled the
00:22:11.920 empire with his Darth Vader mask, it's just a shame that Padme was a typical woman who made 0.99
00:22:18.780 the wrong decision and that she didn't love him and stand by him. It would have been great to 0.96
00:22:22.560 have her by his side. Dude, all the symbolism is insane. With Padme, it's like you have not just
00:22:31.840 one baby, but two. They're twins. Oh, what are we going to do with them? Well, we need to split
00:22:36.400 them up for their safety. Okay, where will they go? Well, the girl, she's going to become a literal
00:22:40.260 princess with riches beyond anyone's imagination. And the boy will sell him as a virtual slave to
00:22:46.840 a farmer in the middle of the desert. Like young white men are just, they're done. They're sick 0.67
00:22:55.060 of it. So it's like, you give us Star Wars, we're going to root for Anakin. You know what I mean?
00:22:59.540 You give us Dune, we're rooting for Paul Atreides. You know, you give us Hitler edits and guys are 0.89
00:23:06.940 rooting for Hitler. Well, so much of the Gen X and the Boomer attachment to Star Wars undoubtedly 0.52
00:23:12.580 comes from a sense of nostalgia. 1977, when the first Star Wars comes out, you have to remember
00:23:17.360 we're at the height of the Cold War. And so in the Western Hemisphere, it's all about democracy,
00:23:22.000 freedom, free markets, capitalism over and against communism in the East, which symbolized
00:23:27.280 authoritarianism, hierarchy, lockdown, tyranny. And so this movie comes at the height of the Cold
00:23:33.120 War. And nostalgia is this sense, the actual root word itself. This is coming from the Odyssey,
00:23:38.120 when Odysseus is bound to the mass
00:23:40.740 and he passes by the sirens.
00:23:42.540 The way Nolan explains the sirens
00:23:44.320 and the song that they sing through Odysseus
00:23:46.560 is he says this,
00:23:47.740 the song of the sirens is everything you wanted
00:23:49.800 and everything you wanted
00:23:51.260 is what you had and you once lost.
00:23:54.160 Lots of temptation offers something new,
00:23:56.460 whether it be a drug,
00:23:57.380 whether it be sexual experience,
00:23:58.880 something new, something novel,
00:24:00.420 something thrilling.
00:24:01.480 But there's this older idea of nostalgia.
00:24:03.720 Nostalgia, nostos, the root word is homecoming
00:24:06.980 and algos means pain.
00:24:08.880 It's the pain of homecoming. 0.58
00:24:10.820 And so for that generation, Gen X and boomers,
00:24:14.140 I think when they watch Star Wars,
00:24:15.520 there's an attachment to it of an old world
00:24:17.960 that they're nostalgic for,
00:24:19.380 a world with a lot more freedoms,
00:24:21.220 a world shaped by Christendom that was genuinely better,
00:24:24.280 that was high trust, that was free, that was very safe.
00:24:28.480 So there was this world that they experienced
00:24:30.540 these epic stories in for the first time
00:24:32.580 and their attachment to it and all that it stands for,
00:24:35.540 it runs all the way down to the core
00:24:37.660 I remember in episode 3 and I loved
00:24:39.600 the prequels growing up there's this moment
00:24:41.580 where Obi-Wan is confronting Anakin
00:24:43.320 and I mean he says the line with such
00:24:45.660 such religious fervor
00:24:47.620 Anakin my allegiance
00:24:49.320 is to the republic
00:24:50.660 to democracy
00:24:52.700 you can feel just the self-righteousness
00:24:55.560 coming off of him I stand for the
00:24:57.540 greatest thing in the world
00:24:59.040 democracy the voice of
00:25:01.620 the people and there's an entire generation
00:25:03.780 and I don't think you get it out of them.
00:25:05.880 This is something so deep within them,
00:25:08.080 again, at the height of the Cold War,
00:25:09.360 so I understand it,
00:25:10.460 the birth of movies
00:25:11.680 that we could put on the screen like this.
00:25:13.440 And so when he says that,
00:25:14.320 and I recognize that's from the prequels,
00:25:15.820 not the older movies,
00:25:17.000 but it embodies everything
00:25:18.700 that that generation was attached to.
00:25:20.940 This episode is brought to you
00:25:22.500 by Greska's Carbon 60.
00:25:24.620 See, sponsors like this
00:25:25.800 are the only reason
00:25:26.760 that we can actually say what we say
00:25:28.820 without having to ask permission.
00:25:30.960 So humor me and give me just one minute.
00:25:33.780 Carbon-60 is a molecule made up of 60 carbon atoms.
00:25:38.160 Chronic inflammation is what sits underneath almost everything that slows a man down.
00:25:44.000 Sore muscles, brain fog, low energy, and most chronic diseases.
00:25:48.500 And inflammation starts upstream with oxidative stress.
00:25:53.060 That's exactly where C60 works.
00:25:56.200 It supports your body's natural defenses against that stress.
00:25:59.920 faster recovery, energy that holds all day, sharper focus. It's the ultimate anti-inflammatory.
00:26:08.000 So go to c60.com. That's the letter C, 60.com and use code NXR for 20% off your first order.
00:26:17.700 c60.com, use code NXR for 20% off. And so I at the very least can understand when that was the
00:26:25.580 paradigm. But then you, if you can accept me, understanding why they feel that attachment,
00:26:30.340 you have to understand why young men in the same way feel that attachment to Anakin.
00:26:34.820 Conor Tomlinson, he said this, a sensitive young man talking about Anakin, an autistic savant,
00:26:39.980 has everything taken from him by alien savages, has his natural desires like fraternity,
00:26:45.500 having a family, aspiring to heroism, proscribed by a sclerotic political order that refuses to
00:26:50.880 acknowledge and solve problems. Young men today find the state of their nations intolerable 0.53
00:26:55.180 and just want to use power and competence to fix things. 0.99
00:26:59.220 When Anakin responds to Padme warning,
00:27:00.780 that sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship
00:27:02.440 with, well, if it works, Anakin replies, 1.00
00:27:05.960 Gen Z, of course, agrees.
00:27:07.140 They didn't grow up under the Cold War.
00:27:08.640 They don't have this nostalgic attachment.
00:27:11.400 And so there's a generational divide.
00:27:13.140 This movie is just one part of showing it,
00:27:15.540 whether it be home prices,
00:27:16.480 whether it be the price of gas,
00:27:17.540 whether it be the difficulty of finding a spouse.
00:27:19.260 There's all these different things
00:27:20.660 that show the two generations are divided
00:27:22.980 And it's not going to end with coming to the table.
00:27:26.000 Oh, I see what you're saying.
00:27:27.480 It's going to end by a generation passing away, largely in unbelief, and another generation
00:27:32.380 having the opportunity, hopefully, not to draw too heavily on the symbolism, entering
00:27:36.660 a promised land to go to war, but by faith.
00:27:40.480 Yeah, it's also interesting that that's one of the ways that sociologists actually draw
00:27:44.560 generational lines, right?
00:27:46.520 So they try to think about, well, what are key events?
00:27:49.240 For example, if you're if you're Gen Z or sorry, millennial, one key event as a generational divide is that you remember 9-11, right?
00:27:58.540 And so there's all of these cultural, religious, different elements and trends that happen that come to define a generation, a generation's worldview, a generation's outlook, their principles, their dogmas, etc.
00:28:13.060 And so if you if you describe it as a generational divide, I think that's exactly right, which is these movies came and appealed to in one particular sense of of a generation's proclivities of their biases, if you will.
00:28:27.160 And another generation now takes them and interprets them in their biases and in their, you know, and Jordan Peterson actually back in like 2018, he wrote that book, I think it was called Beyond Order.
00:28:37.740 but he actually talked about this in one of the famous interviews that he did
00:28:40.860 because the journalist left-wing journalist was asking him like why did you write a book
00:28:44.500 on order uh the masculine order and not the feminine chaos and he said because we live in
00:28:50.500 a world that's chaotic right so we don't need any kind of emphasis on what would a world that's more
00:28:56.620 free and like we know that we know what that looks like what are people craving now people
00:29:00.900 are craving the order right and so um and going back to young men and how they're interpreting
00:29:05.640 these these movies and art and historical figures all of it is truly at root just just a desire for
00:29:12.420 order but we're going to talk about this in a couple weeks in el salvador one of the keys to
00:29:16.860 their revitalization has been the giving up of some of their freedoms in order to attain order
00:29:22.180 so the younger generation saying yeah we have as much freedom so to speak whether it be sexually
00:29:27.520 economically travel we can go anywhere in the world do anything and we actually hate it and
00:29:32.340 we would be willing to give that up to have order, to have trust, to have a clean society.
00:29:37.100 They're willing to give that up because they recognize, yeah, order actually, that's appealing.
00:29:41.820 That's why so many people find the empire appealing.
00:29:44.200 And the empire, honestly, in the movies, Death Star aside, it's actually pretty orderly.
00:29:48.960 They actually run a decent system.
00:29:50.360 This happened with The Man in the High Castle. 0.53
00:29:52.200 It's a show about if the Nazis took over America and Japan and Germany basically shared it. 0.72
00:29:57.160 Well, a lot of people watched the show and found themselves rooting for the Nazis
00:29:59.780 because the whole society there was clean, orderly, run well.
00:30:04.000 And so Amazon had to quick go in and rewrite the ending 0.86
00:30:05.940 so that people really hated them.
00:30:07.420 And eventually I think they canceled the show.
00:30:09.160 So all of these attempts when they portray an ordered society,
00:30:11.680 like it's ordered, but it's authoritarian.
00:30:13.960 Wouldn't that be terrible?
00:30:15.320 A bunch of people watch the art and like,
00:30:16.920 oh man, I would love that.
00:30:18.340 You're telling me it's clean.
00:30:19.200 You're telling me it's safe.
00:30:20.480 And okay, the government can look at my phone.
00:30:22.500 I don't really care.
00:30:23.380 And that's, I think a big, we've talked about this a lot,
00:30:25.400 but I think a big reason for that is because at the end of the day,
00:30:29.060 this is what sin does. But sin causes you to idolize certain things above those things which
00:30:36.640 are innately good and virtuous and true and beautiful. So order, safety, stability,
00:30:44.860 prosperity, the nuclear family, traditional marriage, children, posterity, legacy, lineage,
00:30:54.240 ancestry, heritage, all these things are inherently good things. But what the last couple of
00:31:03.520 generations, it wasn't always this way, but the last couple generations in the West have
00:31:07.840 idolized over those things is liberty, individual, personal liberty, not ordered liberty that serves
00:31:19.480 a greater end of providing freedom to pursue virtue. No, just liberty, individualistic,
00:31:29.260 atomistic, and towards whatever. A liberty that is really just license for personal indulgence
00:31:36.680 in whatever kind of degeneracy you personally happen to choose. Liberty. Here's another one,
00:31:43.260 rebellion. Those two things right there, freedom and rebellion. And it's really just two sides of
00:31:50.420 one coin because it's really freedom from what, right? It's not that the freedom that the boomers 0.90
00:31:56.560 idolize is not a freedom from sin. It's not a freedom from a immoral dictator.
00:32:09.040 because if you asked a boomer right now,
00:32:11.860 if you said, look, you can have a perfect society,
00:32:16.760 your children's children for the next 20 generations prospering,
00:32:22.440 and it's going to be Christian, it's going to be Christ-honoring,
00:32:26.180 they'll all be able to afford homes,
00:32:28.380 there'll be a high trust in this society,
00:32:31.100 homogenous potential, prosperity,
00:32:35.580 you know, all these things, provision.
00:32:37.280 uh but um here's the the catch um there'll be no more democracy
00:32:44.120 we're getting rid of universal suffrage and not just the 19th amendment although that should
00:32:51.100 absolutely go but no nobody gets to vote it's going to actually be a king um but he's a righteous
00:32:56.780 king but he will have full authority full authority boomers would say no no um we need
00:33:06.560 to preserve. We need to conserve, right? This is the heart of a conservative. We need to conserve
00:33:11.940 OnlyFans. We need to conserve betting on futures and oil markets. We need to conserve
00:33:21.120 28% usury on credit card debt. We need to conserve sports ball. We need to conserve
00:33:30.580 uh sydney you know sweeney whatever sydney todd what's her name the the chick sydney sweeney
00:33:38.560 sydney sweeney her ability but also sweeney todd yeah but we need to conserve her ability to 0.99
00:33:45.000 basically wear nothing in public um we need to conserve pornography we need to conserve
00:33:50.500 all like that's that's their mindset well surely the opposition to the empire and the star wars
00:33:55.740 films didn't literally call themselves the rebellion it wouldn't be that on the nose would
00:33:59.120 exactly it is and so but that's my point is it like right now we are living in a time in the west
00:34:05.800 where um individual liberty idolized over virtue which is really just a euphemism for what it
00:34:15.320 actually is which is license license and rebellion to authority um those are the highest ideals it
00:34:24.080 is more important to the older generations in europe and in america it is more important
00:34:31.520 that everyone gets a say than the right decision actually gets made it is seriously it's and that's
00:34:38.680 why gen z they they watch these prequels and they associate with anakin where he's saying we should
00:34:47.300 we should not be doing this like he said like we should take the most capable lock him in a room 0.97
00:34:53.360 have them as a council he's not even arguing for just one moron he's you know or one authoritarian 0.94
00:34:59.220 figure saying let's let's take a let's take a few right the scripture says there's um there's 0.98
00:35:04.880 an abundance of wisdom in a plurality of counselors so let's take a few people and
00:35:10.780 lock them in a room have them uh deliberate and debate and eventually come to a conclusion and
00:35:17.680 then we just do it. This is actually a line from the film. And Padme is aghast. She's
00:35:23.000 disgusted. She can't believe that he would even suggest something so audacious. And she's
00:35:28.460 like, well, we do do that. But the problem is that the people don't always agree. And
00:35:34.780 then Anakin responds by saying, well, so what? The people are wrong. The people were
00:35:43.420 taking, perhaps you missed my idea. Now, perhaps you missed this, Padme. We are not taking all
00:35:49.700 the people and putting them in a room because the people are stupid. The people are degenerate. 1.00
00:35:53.580 The people are retarded. The people are rebellious. The people are licentious. So we're 1.00
00:35:58.520 taking the best, the most intelligent, brightest, wise, and virtuous men and putting them, not the
00:36:05.480 people, but the few in a room, making them decide. And then we execute. We do what they determine.
00:36:11.880 and she's like well we just can't do it because we try that and we suggest it to the people and
00:36:17.480 we try to get it done but the people just don't go with and you know his response is you know she
00:36:21.840 says that the the people the people don't want to uh they don't always agree and anakin says then
00:36:27.620 they should be made to agree and then she responds and says that sounds like a dictatorship and he
00:36:32.560 responds and says well if it works and honestly like george lucas god bless his you know his
00:36:40.060 boomer lib sold but he like you know he he didn't that part he didn't really shore up he didn't
00:36:46.460 steal man because he didn't think he had to right because everybody was under the spell
00:36:50.680 every you know what i mean like everybody's under the spell of like three two thousand exactly so
00:36:55.120 everybody their greatest hero is still ronald reagan imagine thinking like ronald reagan was
00:36:59.840 the greatest president you know what i mean like but there's an entire generation of americans
00:37:04.180 that literally think that ronald reagan was in the top five greatest american presidents granted
00:37:08.880 an amnesty to all the people in California that is exactly why California is the blue state in
00:37:13.560 the union and will never go red again, right? Actually, he's the guy who pushed over the
00:37:17.820 finish line, no fault divorce, while children are growing up without parents and women can sue
00:37:22.600 their husbands in court for alimony, even when the woman is the one who committed adultery and not
00:37:28.200 the man, Ronald Reagan. At least he publicly professed and taught Christ from his office.
00:37:33.440 Oh, wait, I never mentioned the name of Christ. But think about this, guys. I know it sounds
00:37:36.780 crazy to our younger audience that tunes on a regular basis because you're aware of all this but
00:37:41.060 um there's an entire generation that i'm not joking when i say 90 nine out of 10 of them
00:37:48.700 90 of them think that ronald reagan was a great president that's crazy and it's it's literally
00:37:54.940 almost solely because of the defeat of the soviet union it's in like that under its own
00:38:01.200 contradiction i've gone back and watched the speeches like where he's empire he's like they
00:38:05.520 they zoom in, you know, a speech that was, you know, maybe it was live, you know, from the White
00:38:10.820 House, or maybe it's pre-recorded, but it's during the Thanksgiving Day parade, the Macy's parade.
00:38:16.120 And the reason why it's fresh on my mind is because we always will watch the parade as a
00:38:20.940 family, but we can't watch them today because you'll probably have, you know, because it's 2026
00:38:25.560 and the world has lost its mind. And so you'll probably have like some giant tranny balloon, 0.99
00:38:30.680 you know, going down, you know, New York Times Square or whatever. So what we do is we watch, 1.00
00:38:34.500 the recordings of the old Macy Day parades with Charlie Brown and all those kind of things from
00:38:40.220 like, you know, 1980s and 1990s. And we were watching one from the 80s and we interrupt the
00:38:46.900 parade to bring in Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan comes in and his whole speech is, you know, I'm
00:38:52.140 thankful for this and thankful for that. And as Americans, we all have this in common. We're
00:38:55.840 thankful. But the thing that we're most thankful for more than anything else is freedom. And I
00:39:02.240 give thanks that right now, all around the world, and this is kind of like shortly, he's taking a
00:39:08.180 victory lap, it's shortly on the heels of the wall coming down and the Cold War, you know,
00:39:14.220 these kinds of, and I'm thankful that right now, all around the world, that there are people who
00:39:19.800 are free to thank whoever they want, whether it be the Christian God or another God, or like,
00:39:26.720 so he's really, his great claim to fame, he's saying, we did it, Patrick, we saved Bikini Bottom, 0.88
00:39:31.640 we secured we enshrined idolatry religious idolatry uh worldwide happy thanksgiving now 0.57
00:39:40.260 let me talk to you about the communists happy thanksgiving americans we did it we secured
00:39:45.760 not just freedom but religious freedom to worship demons and not just for people in our country 0.73
00:39:52.480 but in dozens of countries around the world we have secured we have secured the mechanism by which
00:39:59.040 millions of souls will go to hell forever i mean the reason we did it was a landslide election 0.85
00:40:04.500 is because he embodied the the ethos the boomer ethos more than anyone like that's the that's the
00:40:11.240 reason he really won he really was like the first 49 states right right and so anyways my but my
00:40:16.720 point is uh you're just gonna have to wake up um older people who are you know maybe you watch this
00:40:21.920 episode, the world has changed. And younger generations are not interested. They're not
00:40:29.440 interested in bombing brown people on the other side of the world. And they're not interested
00:40:33.940 in religious pluralism and Hindu statues and the freedom of idolatry all around the world.
00:40:43.500 And they're not interested in giving billions and billions and billions of dollars to Israel
00:40:48.800 when they can't afford a house or a car.
00:40:52.760 And they're not interested in paying for your social security
00:40:56.360 when they know for a fact that it won't be there
00:40:58.720 within like six years.
00:41:00.320 And certainly not by the time that they're 65 years old.
00:41:03.720 And so the world has changed.
00:41:06.060 And the big thing when you went, why?
00:41:07.520 But why did it change?
00:41:08.700 And we didn't raise our son, Johnny, to be a fascist.
00:41:12.980 What happened to Johnny?
00:41:14.120 um well what what happened is that is it liberalism ruined the world what happened is that
00:41:23.540 liberalism we tried it we gave we gave it the old college try we gave it a real shot for decades
00:41:29.540 and it turns out it's not good he gave us the iphone duo but not much more it's just not a
00:41:36.200 good idea so johnny's not actually broken um johnny just isn't under the spell and you are
00:41:43.480 and you always will be, which is why, like Wes said, we're not trying to be rude, but
00:41:48.340 we have a biblical framework for this. Is there ever a time in the Bible that an entire older
00:41:53.980 generation that's steeped in their stiff-necked rebellion and disbelief have to die off before
00:41:59.700 their children and younger generation are able to enter the promised land and fight the battles
00:42:04.140 that God has for them? Oh yeah, that actually, that exact story is in the Bible, and that's
00:42:09.400 exactly where we are today. And we honor our father. We honor our mother. It's like, come on,
00:42:15.280 grandpa, let's get you back to the nursing home. We love you. We're going to care for you.
00:42:22.320 But you're absolutely wrong. And you ruined the world. And you left it to us to fix. And we're
00:42:28.720 not going to piss on your grave. We genuinely love you. But you did destroy the entire world.
00:42:34.520 You really did destroy the entire world. 1.00
00:42:37.060 And so you'll have to excuse Gen Z. 0.98
00:42:39.380 You'll have to excuse young men when they say, okay, Boomer. 0.77
00:42:44.740 When they say, I'm sorry, but it's like, well, do you care to hear what I think? 0.90
00:42:51.860 And the answer is a resounding no.
00:42:53.820 No.
00:42:54.600 Everything you think is wrong.
00:42:56.400 Everything you think is wrong.
00:42:58.120 We do not care to hear what you think because you didn't just tell us what you thought.
00:43:01.820 you actually employed all of your thoughts. We tried all of your thoughts. We have been forced
00:43:09.340 against our better judgment to do all of your thoughts for 60, 70, 80 years. And so this is why
00:43:18.420 these films, you know, it's like George Lucas makes the prequels to the Star Wars and Gen Z
00:43:24.620 is like Anakin's the hero. Or Amazon makes The Man in the High Castle. What if the Germans
00:43:30.040 and the japanese won and the show ends up being canceled because people are like wait you're
00:43:36.380 telling me that that everyone in the country looks like me and and they speak the same language and
00:43:42.920 there's high trust and low crime levels and there's not trash everywhere well notice no
00:43:47.400 oh no well notice the one story i don't see a lot of libs retconning and that is lord of the rings
00:43:53.540 because what tolkien did a real right-wing author and a christian author what he portrayed evil is
00:43:58.660 what evil actually is so the big thing that's evil about sauron isn't actually that he's
00:44:02.840 authoritarian or totalitarian or a dictator sauron and sauraman and the orcs and all of them what
00:44:08.880 they represent is the twisting and the degradation of nature and of beauty think about this as i was
00:44:14.800 just thinking about this you have the star wars especially uh seven eight and nine that they went
00:44:19.360 on to make and i'm pretty sure i saw it once and i've i've tried to wipe the memory but i'm pretty
00:44:24.860 sure at the end of Star Wars Episode IX, the new one that they made, when the rebellion wins,
00:44:30.000 they snuck in a little scene there where two lesbians are kissing. So that's your ending 0.90
00:44:33.880 scene on Star Wars Chapter IX. The rebellion wins. The empire is over. Now kiss. The end of
00:44:39.480 Lord of the Rings, the return of the king, is a king coronated in his castle and the people bowing
00:44:44.820 to him. Now, this story is the one that we're not going to go back and say, and actually, here's how
00:44:49.300 Sauron was the good guy. No, he was actually evil because Tolkien portrayed what evil really is.
00:44:54.680 the taking of what is good, the taking of what is beautiful, and twisting it and mangling it and
00:44:59.380 degrading it. What Lucas portrayed as evil was authoritarianism and order. And over and against
00:45:05.000 that, to be good is to be free. And what does freedom look like? Let's go ahead and pull up
00:45:08.500 the celebration scene from episode nine. Oh, it looks like degeneracy. It looks like lesbians
00:45:13.660 kissing in celebration. And so that's the difference between a real film that really 0.95
00:45:18.040 portrays evil and gets it right, that actually is evil, versus this one, like, no, that's a
00:45:22.540 false dichotomy, whether it be order and hierarchy or some degree of freedom. Freedom is good.
00:45:27.540 Christ's law actually does, in stages as a society matures, bring freedom. There was a lot of freedom
00:45:33.280 in the United States that was good because different denominations of Christians had the
00:45:38.060 freedom to worship as they desired to do so. So we're not saying freedom in all senses is always 0.60
00:45:42.520 bad, but the battle is not freedom versus order or authority versus liberty. The battle is between
00:45:48.560 what is good, true, and beautiful versus that which is ugly, deformed, and twisted. And Lucas
00:45:54.720 doesn't portray that at all. Right. Think about that. It's the exact opposite. So in the case of
00:46:02.560 Star Wars, which is, I mean, Star Wars, let's just be honest, the prequels, they don't deserve
00:46:08.760 the bad rap that they got because they're competing again with nostalgia. And nostalgia is a spell.
00:46:15.160 And nostalgia is not a positive thing.
00:46:16.740 It's actually a negative thing.
00:46:18.160 It's a curse.
00:46:19.100 It's a spell.
00:46:20.460 It desires for you.
00:46:22.160 The Proverbs actually kind of talk about nostalgia head on when it says,
00:46:27.160 do not say that the former days were better than these.
00:46:30.620 So this idea of nostalgia made it really unfair for older generations
00:46:37.120 that had been to the theaters and watched the original Star Wars
00:46:40.520 with their family, with their father.
00:46:42.520 That's why the prequels got such a bad rap.
00:46:45.560 So at the cinematic level, they're actually pretty good.
00:46:49.100 That said, in terms of the message of Star Wars, it is absolutely liberal boomer slop.
00:46:57.120 Liberal boomer slop. 0.99
00:46:58.260 Star Wars is, if you like the message of Star Wars, then you need to sit down and tell your dad you're gay. 0.99
00:47:05.380 the message of star wars is i mean star wars is serious it is one of the gayest franchises 0.99
00:47:12.500 one of the gayest stories one of the gayest i mean it is seriously it is so effeminate it is 0.95
00:47:19.400 so feminized it is so um uh homosexual i mean it like it is this it's it's terrible it's truly 0.99
00:47:27.860 truly terrible. So then, what do you see happening right now? You see young, straight, not gay, 0.90
00:47:36.300 young, straight Christian men. They go to Star Wars and they're like, the message,
00:47:43.440 cinematography is pretty cool, but the message is entirely wrong. The bad guy is actually the
00:47:49.080 good guy. Now, what do you see with your point, Wes, with the Lord of the Rings, Tolkien, an older
00:47:54.620 author, right? Where the message, not just the cinematography, but the message itself was
00:47:59.500 actually true and Christian and right wing. What you see is instead of young, straight Christian 0.76
00:48:05.580 men of our society rewriting it, you see them trying to preserve Lord of the Rings and you see 0.75
00:48:11.740 Amazon rewriting it and casting, oh, there's this new character all of a sudden. It's an orc.
00:48:18.000 is an orc it's a demented demonic um uh morphed elf underneath the spell of a demon god sauron 0.59
00:48:29.300 but it's actually it's a it's a pretty good guy he's got a family he's got a family can't you feel
00:48:35.960 for the orc and young straight christian men are seeing the clips of the good orc that we should
00:48:45.360 sympathize with and they're saying no no so you have that my point is you have the film creators
00:48:52.100 taking good right-wing christian stories and perverting them and you have like a bulwark 0.74
00:48:58.940 young christian men saying no that's gay that's gross no thanks and then we have those same 0.52
00:49:07.120 filmmakers which lucas very much embodies the boomer lib slop like like amazon making the new 0.95
00:49:13.660 Lord of the Rings, you have to watch Lucas. Well, it was Kathleen Kennedy for a number of
00:49:16.500 those films there. She did a terrible job. And it was a woman who, I mean, she made it her mission, 1.00
00:49:20.720 diversity, inclusion, the message, progressivism. We're going to work these things in there.
00:49:25.800 Yep. And so then when Lucas is making the film itself, then same thing. The young men are coming
00:49:31.420 and saying, no, that's bad. Everything you meant to convey is wrong. And everything you meant to
00:49:38.340 portray as evil is probably actually right. And my point is, this is just a microcosm. It's like,
00:49:46.140 why are we talking about Star Wars? But it is a microcosm for the bigger conversation that keeps
00:49:52.360 happening, that's been happening for a few years now, which is, why are young men even entertaining 0.90
00:49:59.280 the thought that Hitler might be a good guy? Or why are young men entertaining the thought of 0.82
00:50:06.640 a christian monarch instead of democracy why are the young men um not seeking to preserve
00:50:13.920 our sacred democracy or or entertaining the idea that that maybe our nation is simply past the
00:50:21.380 constitution and actually requires an authoritarian leader who is willing like napoleon he who who
00:50:29.140 saves his country violates no law why are young men what we didn't raise them to be like this
00:50:34.520 what's going on it must just be i don't know it must be television and they're just getting
00:50:39.600 bad influences no it's um it's that we are fine it's the fourth turning is what it is
00:50:45.300 we are finally enough generations removed from the founding myth of the post-war
00:50:52.260 post-war society civilization where enough generations removed and everything we did
00:51:00.860 as a reaction, aka liberalism, the fruit has been born, right? The chickens have come home to roost. 0.57
00:51:09.820 The verdict is now in and it's bad. And so what we have now is it's being cast off and the boomers 1.00
00:51:18.260 can force it and keep it for 10 years maybe, but then they're gone. And so I'm telling you right 1.00
00:51:26.220 now, you've got 10 years, max, max, I would argue probably six, six to 10 years. And in six to 10
00:51:34.640 years, um, the entire West, but especially in America is going to drastically change. And right
00:51:42.320 now it's simply a battle for who will win out. Um, the progressive liberal, right? Cause Gen Z
00:51:51.340 is pretty much split right down the middle it's authoritarian right-wing christians uh and then 0.90
00:52:01.400 it's gay furries and that's what it's going to be it's going to be james fishback or mandoni 0.88
00:52:07.960 james tallarico or james tallarico that's right that's what it every there is no more sensible 0.95
00:52:13.400 discourse right sensible discourse uh died you know how it died it was literally shot in the neck
00:52:19.700 we had the sensible discourse guy you killed him you literally killed him and and then laughed about
00:52:27.940 it and are still laughing about it on the year anniversary and mocking him for bleeding out and
00:52:34.520 dying a husband and a father so sensible discourse is gone you literally the left literally killed it
00:52:41.060 so now what's left is um a battle royale and it's not a battle to persuade it's not a battle for
00:52:49.020 hearts and minds to be won over through the free market of ideas. No, it's literally just a battle
00:52:55.120 for power. Who can seize power? The boomers and the system and these institutions are on their
00:53:02.480 last leg. They are fading. It's going away. And in six to 10 years, the only question is when the 1.00
00:53:10.160 boomers finally go, who will be king of the hill? Who will seize power? Will it be James 0.99
00:53:18.880 Tallarico or James Fishback, gay furry or right-wing authoritarian. And if you're older and 0.97
00:53:27.060 you have children and grandchildren, if you have any love for them, which you just might not,
00:53:33.000 but for those of you who do, if you have any love for your posterity, you should be rooting.
00:53:40.260 You should be giving your resources. You should be doing everything you can before you die
00:53:47.280 to ensure that the right-wing Christian fascist win because it's not whether but which it's not 0.96
00:53:56.520 well but that's I don't like that and I prefer what about the the the the Christian moderate 0.70
00:54:03.380 centrist that's gone that's gone it dies with you it will not be left it will be Tallarico's
00:54:11.200 and Fishbacks. The middle is gone. The middle is gone. So you got to pick one. And I think,
00:54:20.500 if I'm honest, my genuine fear is that for many, many boomers, as much as they hate Tallarica,
00:54:29.900 I'll be honest, boomers hate James Fishback, I think, as much, if not more. I honestly think
00:54:36.200 there are many conservative boomers that would rather the future of the United States that their
00:54:43.720 children and grandchildren have to live in to be run by the James Tallaricos of the world than the
00:54:51.640 James Fishbacks because they have been so indoctrinated, so psyoped from birth their entire 0.90
00:54:58.780 life to despise authority. They're so rebellious. They're like, I'd rather, yes, James Tallarico is
00:55:08.880 not rebelling in the way I like, right? Because I'm a Christian. I'm a conservative boomer. I'm
00:55:14.860 a conservative rebellious person. And so I don't like the particular way that James Tallarico is
00:55:22.000 rebelling. I don't like that he's rebelling in the sexual perversion way or in that way.
00:55:28.340 But one thing that I hate even more than his form of rebellion is authority. And the right
00:55:40.020 wing that's emerging, that's young, it represents a right wing, authoritarian hierarchy, ordered
00:55:49.220 liberty. And they hate it. They literally, they see James Fishback and they see Emperor Palpatine.
00:55:58.700 They see the empire. They see young Gen Z men wanting to be organized. They see Groypers and 0.87
00:56:06.960 Boomers. When they see Groypers, they see stormtroopers. They can't help themselves.
00:56:12.540 That's literally what they see. And so we just want to say in as loving of a way as possible,
00:56:18.100 you're wrong about everything and always have been and probably always will be.
00:56:23.380 But if you can find it in your heart, you ruin the world. We're just asking, could you please
00:56:30.740 not ruin it forever? You definitely ruined it. But could you just, could you not put the finishing
00:56:35.740 touches that ensures the world is ruined forever? Could you just, could you root for your sons?
00:56:40.960 Could you root for your grandsons and not call them Nazis? Thanks for tuning in. 0.57
00:56:48.200 We'll see you later.
00:56:48.880 God bless.
