On today's show, we have a special guest, Michael Malice, a writer for The Atlantic, who joins us to talk about the latest in the Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump war, and how corporate media is trying to delegitimize the Trump campaign.
00:00:00.000This morning, news broke that the guy in Portland who was accused of killing the Trump supporter was caught.
00:00:35.000I should say that they were trying to catch him.
00:00:36.000They found out where he was, a warrant had been issued, and when they went to stop him, they say, according to a statement from Bill Barr, he pulled a gun, or he went for a gun, and then he got shot and killed.
00:00:46.000Now, activists and far leftists are saying something totally different.
00:00:49.000They said that he was leaving his home when he started getting shot at or something.
00:00:52.000I kid you not, they actually have this post going around where they're claiming that he was in his car, he went to his car, they started shooting at him so he tried fleeing and then they just, you know, finished him off.
00:01:02.000And they're actually arguing that it was an execution.
00:01:04.000This is worrying to me because of course we were going to see the narrative go the other direction.
00:01:08.000They're now saying the right is defending Kyle Rittenhouse and he was an extremist and their guy was acting in self-defense.
00:01:13.000I think anyone objectively trying to look at the facts to figure out what's going on would determine that is not the case.
00:01:19.000But something different happened later in the day.
00:01:21.000Well, actually, this was last night, but the story picked up this morning.
00:01:25.000A new narrative emerged that Donald Trump had called a bunch of World War I soldiers losers and suckers, and it was just cartoonishly bad, in my opinion.
00:01:37.000So then I was thinking about it and I came upon this realization that the goal was to shift the narrative off of what was going on with violent riots, the burning of buildings, and they wanted to change the news cycle because Trump was winning and Joe Biden was desperate.
00:01:52.000Now, Joe Biden's in front of the cycle and Donald Trump is on the defensive, and this is a big mistake.
00:01:57.000So we need to have a real conversation about what's going on with corporate media and how they've immediately jumped to attention to give Joe Biden everything he needs.
00:02:06.000Even Facebook is coming out on the side of the left-wing narrative about mail-in voting.
00:02:09.000So I decided I gotta bring in somebody who's got a good, you know, good insight into the media.
00:02:14.000So joining me today is Michael Malice.
00:02:17.000And you can tell by the very poorly adorned helicopter hat.
00:03:08.000He's actually got... You had a bunch of interesting stuff you were telling us about, like the history of the Atlantic and World War I and stuff.
00:03:15.000If you want to just, you know, lightly mention something.
00:03:18.000I don't want you to... Because you mentioned you're going to go off on this huge history lesson.
00:03:21.000Yeah, there's a lot to unpack behind this story, which I'm sure the writers from the Atlantic are very aware of, even though they would never cop to it publicly.
00:05:32.000So, they go on to say that Trump, in the first paragraph they say, Trump cancelled a visit to the Ayn Marn American Cemetery in Paris.
00:05:39.000He blamed rain for the last-minute decision, saying the helicopter couldn't fly.
00:05:43.000They go on to say, neither claim was true.
00:05:45.000Now, I gotta point out, Jason Leopold from BuzzFeed has the FOIA request from the Navy.
00:05:49.000They've got numerous communications saying, the ceiling's too low, visibility's too low, we're not gonna be able to do this.
00:05:54.000And John Bolton, his memoir, also independently described this event, and John Bolton, his memoir, was out to, at the very least, not be flattering to Trump, and he describes the circumstance of this event exactly as President Trump later claimed the circumstances were.
00:06:07.000So you have independent, like six months ago, three months ago, corroboration of Trump's version of the events.
00:06:13.000And you would think, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but you would think they would mention Bolton's version of it.
00:06:18.000Unless the intention was to be so cartoonishly bad, every conservative would be like, it's so obviously fake that it's, you know, they're dangling keys in front of a baby and the conservatives ran right to it and the narrative of the violent riots and all the chaos in the streets and the Antifa killer is gone.
00:06:33.000Yeah, there's an enormous wing of conservatism, which I have very mixed feelings about, whose entire modus operandi is freaking out over whatever it is the liberals are doing today.
00:06:44.000And it does an enormous disservice because, you know, like you're saying, it's a very easy bait-and-switch.
00:06:49.000Like, which of these two things are, in the grand scheme of things, a bigger issue?
00:06:53.000That people are getting killed by the police, rightly or wrongly?
00:06:56.000That chaos is descending, rightly or wrongly?
00:06:59.000Or the president, two years ago, said a nasty Nasty comment.
00:07:03.000In the context of this presidency where, I mean, the number of nasty comments that he said has been innumerable and will be in history books one day, hopefully.
00:07:11.000And this is probably, like, these are maybe actually not even the worst things he's ever said.
00:07:15.000I mean, what they did very cleverly in this is that everyone very vividly remembers in 2015 when he was referring to John McCain.
00:08:14.000me I look at this and I'm like, oh come on man.
00:08:16.000Everything, Trump has been campaigning since he got elected.
00:08:19.000He got elected in 2016 and then he kept having rallies nonstop.
00:08:22.000He's been in full campaign mode and like you mentioned, he's had wounded vets at his rallies.
00:08:26.000This is cartoonishly, it's ridiculous.
00:08:31.000But there's one more thing I want to point out and then we can hear about what's up with
00:08:34.000this and what, you know, the Atlantic.
00:08:36.000They mentioned that Trump said he didn't understand why the United States would intervene on the side of the allies, and that, you know, he asked, who were the good guys?
00:08:46.000You know what I find wrong with that is, who were the good guys?
00:09:27.000There's someone named Randolph Bourne, and Randolph Bourne is a very interesting, largely forgotten historical figure.
00:09:32.000He was the first person who was a journalist who was handicapped, who talked about being handicapped.
00:09:37.000This is something where handicapped people were invisible before, and he brought that to public attention.
00:09:42.000He died in the Spanish flu epidemic of, I think it was 1918 or 1920.
00:09:47.000Because of his disability, he was a dwarf and kind of misshapen.
00:09:50.000His lung capacity wasn't what it could have been.
00:09:52.000And he invented the term, war is the health of the state.
00:09:56.000And what was happening during the Great War, remember Woodrow Wilson campaigned on, he kept us out of war.
00:10:01.000The idea that we'd be involved in a war in Europe completely violated the Monroe Doctrine.
00:10:06.000This had been something that had been the United States policy for 140 years.
00:10:10.000George Washington in his farewell address, which was written by I'll go straight by Alexander Hamilton said avoid foreign entanglements.
00:10:16.000So we're going to go to save like Serbia against Italy against the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
00:10:22.000It made absolutely no sense on American principles.
00:10:25.000How do you get Americans to change their minds?
00:10:29.000Well, we all talk about in school about yellow journalism and William Randolph Hearst, the Spanish-American War, remember the main what they forget about is they act like somehow that changed.
00:10:37.000Like, there's yellow journalism, and then we don't talk about it, and now everyone's objective.
00:10:41.000It's been the same yellow journalism for a hundred years and more.
00:10:46.000The bloodlust of the establishment, in which I include the corporate press, cannot be overstated.
00:10:51.000And what happened with the Great War is, for the first time, all the lefties became, we need to get involved, we need to be the policemen of the world.
00:12:27.000So this is a pattern with people on the left.
00:12:31.000You're either with us or you're just someone who could be tossed in the garbage.
00:12:34.000And the Atlantic was one of the big... Oh, and he became completely blacklisted.
00:12:38.000So, of course, once he starts speaking out about getting us into World War I, which makes no sense, which really destroyed so much lives for what purpose?
00:12:50.000John Dewey was like the big leftist intellectual at the time.
00:12:53.000And they all signed on and sold their souls.
00:12:57.000And that was the big... This is why Woodrow Wilson, I think, is universally among the correct people, regardless of where he is in present history.
00:13:17.000The idea of a president leaving America, you would never think of it before, because the whole point of a president is to stay in your country.
00:13:24.000Now every president's getting on jet every other weekend.
00:13:27.000This was not the role of the president.
00:13:28.000He's supposed to be here and hold the fort, and I use the term fort advisedly.
00:13:32.000So the Atlantic Has a lot of explaining to do, which they never have had to do, for all their pro-war propaganda.
00:13:39.000And here's where it gets even more evil.
00:13:41.000Deborah Lepstadt did an amazing book called Beyond Belief.
00:13:45.000And the premise of this book was about what the press was covering as Hitler rose to power in Germany.
00:13:50.000Now, you didn't have the internet, you didn't have cell phones, you didn't have YouTube, anything like that.
00:13:54.000So they're getting all these reports, And these reports of what Hitler and the Nazis were doing—you don't really have cameras even that much to that extent—seemed crazy and implausible.
00:14:04.000And they pointed to all the war propaganda from World War I when they talked about how evil the Kaiser was.
00:14:10.000This was a world where the Kaiser was the most evil human being on Earth.
00:14:13.000And that was later proven to be false.
00:14:15.000So they're like, listen, we heard this 20 years ago.
00:14:18.000You guys lied about the Hun and how the Hun's killing people and raping everyone.
00:15:07.000I think what trumps the first president in a long time, no new wars.
00:15:11.000And so that's one of the things that made me kind of turn on, okay, when he tried to pull the troops out of
00:15:16.000Afghanistan and bring our troops back.
00:15:18.000And I've heard opinions from a lot of people, but there is a real challenge in when is war appropriate.
00:15:24.000I would personally say, yeah, World War II was something we should... Hitler should have been stopped a long time ago.
00:15:29.000It should have never gotten to that point.
00:15:31.000I didn't know that about how the fake news essentially impeded, you know... This book, Beyond Belief, is just absolutely mind-boggling.
00:15:39.000It's just amazing because she very much defends the press in the sense that you can understand why they were so skeptical because they heard it all 20 years ago And this is Germany.
00:16:05.000I mean... They've been at it for over a hundred years and I wrote this piece for The Observer a couple years ago about Obama in the tan suit and I said it's very useful to have a president like Trump who's regarded as a buffoon because you have a president who's widely respected, you will smile and nod when he sends your kids to war, to die overseas for sometimes no reason.
00:16:25.000There's an amazing traveling exhibit which I saw at UT Austin called The Great War Which is about World War one and I left it crying because you have all these letters from these kids 17 18.
00:16:35.000Hey mom, we're in Brussels Everything's cool.
00:16:39.000And the plaque is like he died next week for what for what the amount of car?
00:16:43.000you know plastic surgery was invented as a result of World War one because of all the disfigurement because everyone came back disfigured like chopped up because it's the first time you had human bodies meeting with the Industrial Revolution that created these machines It was just absolutely horrific what was done to all these kids.
00:16:58.000The amount of bloodlust that was at Ypres Field.
00:17:21.000So the idea is like, you're not going to let all these people who died die for no reason.
00:17:25.000You have to die also because otherwise our deaths were pointless.
00:17:28.000It's so sinister when you sit down and think about it.
00:17:32.000And there was a principle at the time that to be a real man, You know you had to join and fight for war and this was a time when all the Ivy Leagues like these men were the first ones to sign up and now we look back at it and it's just like this is kind of crazy how it was glorified that it's a great idea you know you to be a real man you got a call to war even if after the fact you're like what was this about?
00:18:28.000Like the Germans were upset about the debt and they felt, you know, they wanted retaliation and things like that.
00:18:33.000But we're not taught the history of all... There really is an overemphasis on World War II for sure, and I think there's good reason for it.
00:18:53.000We don't get it hammered into us by our culture about how bad Stalin was.
00:18:57.000And we also don't get hammered into, like, a lot of... The government and the press lied and manipulated us into a war which, a hundred years later, we can't explain why we were in, which led to the normalization of the idea of totalitarianism on American shores.
00:20:28.000And no one who said that has had any accountability for their lies in trying to get Americans to be overseas, dying in a war where it's not very clear who the good guys are again.
00:20:41.000But we've had strong glimpses, like, I shouldn't even say glimpse, we've been smacked in the face with this when the New York Times lied about WMDs in Iraq.
00:21:08.000So, going back a little bit to the fact that the Atlantic's goal was to shift the cycle to benefit Trump, one of the questions he got asked, Joe Biden, was something like, are you concerned that peace agreements in the Middle East with Israel will destabilize Palestinians' efforts for a two-state solution or something?
00:21:26.000And I'm like, are you literally trying to undermine peace agreements in the Middle East?
00:22:12.000But he helped fund the resistance against the Nazis in the Netherlands.
00:22:16.000It's an amazing story about how he did this scheme to, like, they backed up money for people.
00:22:21.000Once the government, which was in exile, came back, they'd pay back people this money.
00:22:25.000And, uh, I totally forgot where I was going with that, because I started thinking about this movie and being cool and, like, fighting against the Nazis.
00:22:31.000Anyway, so I'm watching this, and I'm reading Wikipedia about World War II and stuff, and it's like, what happened at the end of World War II?
00:22:38.000The Allies occupied part of Germany, then the Soviets occupied East Germany, and then I was like, oh, okay, and then I read about, like, you know, the Berlin Wall fell, and I'm like, and when did we leave Germany?
00:22:50.000There's a great book called 1946, which is about what happens in World War II ends and Europe is a complete wasteland and how they rebuilt.
00:22:58.000And there's one story which no one talks about because it's weird.
00:23:02.000It doesn't fit the good guy, bad guy thing, which is the Czechs in Czechoslovakia.
00:23:06.000They took all the Germans or people of German descent, even people who lived there for 100 years, put a sign on their back that says German and made them walk.
00:24:57.000And so then eventually, when a chimp would try climbing the ladder, the other chimps would grab him and beat him up, like, you're gonna get us sprayed with the hose, don't do it.
00:25:04.000Then they took one chimp out and put in a new chimp.
00:25:06.000That chimp, that never got sprayed with the hose before.
00:25:08.000But when that chimp climbs up, the other chimps beat him up.
00:25:11.000One by one, they swap out all the chimps, never using the hose.
00:25:15.000And then the chimps just kept beating anybody who went near the ladder, not knowing what the real ramification, you know, what was the punishment.
00:25:22.000I wonder if that's why there's this war machine.
00:26:26.000I don't think it's a given that there would be this kind of one world power that has its fingers in every pot.
00:26:34.000I mean, if you look at, let's suppose, Kuwait, right?
00:26:36.000That was much more of a multinational operation.
00:26:38.000You had the US, you had Britain, but basically everyone was on the same page on that.
00:26:42.000It's not implausible that you would have this kind of coalition that would kind of make sure that borders are enforced because it's useful for the powerful to maintain the status quo.
00:26:55.000The problem is when you have actors in bad faith like China, like what happened with Hong Kong, and that is something that all of us as Americans should be far more disturbed about than COVID because they're going to push the envelope until they get pushed back.
00:27:37.000Now that there's a power vacuum, they can come in, they can take control of the territory and use it for strategic purposes or for resources.
00:27:45.000And then China's already pushing into other parts of the world, South America, Africa.
00:27:50.000Are you familiar with what they were trying to do with the Nicaraguan Canal?
00:27:53.000No, I know they're pulling out of Africa to some extent, but please educate me.
00:28:09.000They picked it for a reason, because it's the shortest one, yeah.
00:28:11.000So they worked all these deals, and it would have apparently destroyed this massive freshwater aquifer and decimated a lot of local population.
00:28:17.000Ultimately it fell through, but they were moving towards this.
00:28:20.000The ultimate goal being, they want to supplant us.
00:28:23.000They want to... They're pushing us out.
00:28:26.000And then the fear I have is, yeah, man, I hate these foreign, you know, excursions or whatever you want to call them.
00:28:33.000You know, the Syria thing, there's a lot of, I guess I could call it speculation, because I'm not a Middle Eastern policy expert, but like the Qatar-Turkey pipeline.
00:28:43.000They're trying to build a natural gas pipeline up through Syria, through Turkey, into Europe to essentially, correct me if I'm wrong, offset the Gazprom gas monopoly in Europe.
00:28:52.000So this leads to war, all these conflicts.
00:28:55.000So I'm not a fan of us being like, we should get cheaper gas in Europe, and Russia's, you know, strangling us on this, so we want Syria to bend the knee to us, and then Syria says no, and then, oh, lucky for us, there's an uprising, and the US is on the side of the people who oppose this.
00:29:16.000Yeah, I mean, listen, I wrote the book on North Korea, so I am not at all a fan of the Chinese government and the North Korean government.
00:29:23.000This is something that's, you know, my wheelhouse, and I've been, you know, warning about this for many years, and thankfully the audiences have been extremely receptive to hearing this story.
00:29:31.000Honestly, what I would say, if the corporate press wasn't as depraved as it is, it would be very easy, or moderately easy, to get us to side with Russia against China.
00:29:43.000There's been a very long history, decades long, of rivalry between Russia and China, between Mao and all the Russian leaders.
00:29:51.000If we were combined against them, it would be pretty much unstoppable.
00:29:55.000But because the corporate press has made Putin, for no reason that's ever been explained, to be the worst dictator on earth, this has now become radioactive.
00:30:04.000And if Trump made moves to strengthen his relationship with Russia, which would benefit a lot of people, if Russia and the U.S.
00:30:10.000were teamed up in the Middle East, That would solve a lot of problems, because we could, between us, could sit a lot of these countries down, the more moderate ones, and be like, look, we're locking you guys in a room, figure it out, you know, and they bang on the door till it'll let out, but it happened with UAE, and this could be the first domino.
00:30:55.000And the thing is, what people don't appreciate, this is what I hate, binary thinkers in politics.
00:30:59.000You know, they think if I want right-wing ideas, I'm going to vote right-wing, and if I want left-wing ideas, I vote left-wing.
00:31:04.000Bill Clinton gave abandon gay marriage in a balanced budget.
00:31:07.000A lot of times, because there's no one to a person's left to criticize them, they're in a position to implement right-wing ideas and vice versa.
00:31:14.000Richard Nixon, who cut his teeth running against Helen Douglas, I think was her name, was for the Senate, and called her a commie, which in some way she probably was.
00:31:22.000No one's going to say Richard Nixon's too pro-communist, so that gave him cover as president to go to China.
00:31:29.000I mean, Mao is the biggest butcher in history without question, and raise a glass and like, oh, we're friends now, and who's going to say he's not hard enough on communism?
00:31:38.000So this is something that a lot of times politics is very counterintuitive, but there's a very big incentive for both political parties to make it seem like it's This is left, this is right.
00:32:04.000That the way I view politics right now, and one of the reasons why, aside from the riots and the chaos, I'm like, you know what, man, I'm voting for Trump.
00:33:48.000And they're kind of, you know, less about imposing their morals on other people, whereas the left is doing all of that now.
00:33:53.000Each party is libertarian when they're in the defensive, and then when they get in power, they become authoritarian, because now they're in a position to do what they want.
00:34:00.000Well, I don't think Trump is whatever that establishment party was.
00:34:44.000It's an image of a guy sitting on a couch with his girlfriend, and she's got his arm around him, and then his arm is behind the couch holding the hands of a different woman.
00:34:53.000And so I put, you know, Democrats, Republicans, you, and you're on your party, like, loving them, and they're secretly working together.
00:35:38.000It's not, I'm responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
00:35:42.000Let's even pretend Iraqi lives don't matter, which a lot of times people actually do, and how many soldiers.
00:35:47.000If that's the case, if your judgment is that flawed, you're not in a position to try to be commander-in-chief.
00:35:53.000You would have actual guilt and be like, what have I done?
00:35:57.000Like you and I both know people who had their finger in leading up to the Iraq war and who look back at that and they're still filled with enormous guilt as well they should be.
00:36:07.000If you thought of this as a mistake, if you had your hand in the Iraq war and you think of it a mistake in the same way you and I and many other people think a mistake, you're not running for president.
00:36:15.000You're going to therapy because you're like, how can I sleep at night where because of my vote so many people lost their kid?
00:37:15.000Yeah, you can't because you're a liar, because there isn't a reason.
00:37:18.000So the fact that he has this very basic aversion to war, the fact that he's like, explain to me why we have to be everywhere on Earth.
00:37:27.000My friend had this idea, and I think this would be brilliant.
00:37:30.000If the Commander-in-Chief, you know, Halloween, October 15th, says, you know what?
00:37:36.000These troops should be spending Christmas with their families.
00:37:39.000I'm pulling them from all over the world, and they can vote, by the way, and let the press freak out, like, oh my god, it's going to stabilize the world, and let all these Americans be like, that is how patriots operate, and this would be an enormous boon for him, and it would drop their mask even further for their malfeasance and depravity.
00:37:58.000Let them justify why they're in these places.
00:39:29.000I think what he's best at is getting them to drop their mask.
00:39:34.000And I think what he's best at is something I'm very big and heavily in favor of is eliminating political discourse and having this idea, this boomer-con fantasy that everyone's going to sit down and it's going to be Reagan and Tip O'Neill and we're going to just shake our hands and come to a compromise.
00:39:50.000When the parties work together, America gets screwed.
00:39:53.000It is very, very useful for them to despise each other in real life.
00:39:57.000A lot of times they despise each other for fake, like in wrestling.
00:40:01.000I'm old enough to remember when people found out that Hacksaw Jim Duggan and The Iron Sheik were in a car together and they got arrested.
00:40:28.000So they put on a good show, and whatever.
00:40:30.000But he is, I think, showing a lot of people that there's large segments of the left who want you dead, but will settle for your submission.
00:40:39.000And it's become... The fact that you would have... Let's go back to The Atlantic.
00:40:44.000If I were, as an entity, responsible for getting us into the Great War and felt some remorse about this century-old mistake, nowadays I'd be like, you know what?
00:40:55.000I'm gonna err on the side of caution and err on the side of non-interventionism because I got a lot of explaining to do and a lot of making effort.
00:42:56.000It's the, it's, it's, I don't know the exact reference of why it is, you know, named this, but the general idea is when a rising economic power approaches the dominant power, war breaks out.
00:43:07.000And it's like, I think the Atlantic did a story saying out of the past 500 years, there have been 16 moments and 12 of them resulted in war.
00:43:13.000So, one of the arguments I hear from the people who are pro, like, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, you're familiar with the trade deals, was that it would prevent war from breaking out by creating strong economic ties between the two countries.
00:43:25.000Send all our factories over to China, we can't go to war with them, they'll rise and become the dominant superpower, but who cares, we're all rich.
00:44:28.000And it seems like whether Trump has the ability to do so or not, whether he's sporadic or
00:44:33.000not, he does want to help this country.
00:44:37.000There's also an example in American shores, which is Alexander Hamilton's brilliant idea
00:44:41.000was to have a national bank and nationalize the debt because he said this would be a great
00:44:45.000blessing because when you have the debt of 13 states in your round, you can't unwind it.
00:44:50.000So it's going to be a country, whereas if you had 13 states, 13 currencies, it's very easy to separate apart.
00:44:55.000To the point where Jefferson, who was like a huge enemy of this, he's like, this is unconstitutional.
00:44:59.000He backed up having the National Bank as president.
00:45:01.000And what that led to, 70 years later, was a civil war.
00:45:05.000This idea that economic entanglements are going to be a guarantee against war.
00:45:10.000Maybe against war, but it's sure not going to be a guarantee against conflict.
00:45:13.000And we saw it, thankfully, the other peaceful way with Brexit, where they voted for Brexit, but then implementing it took two years because no one could negotiate the terms of divorce successfully.
00:45:47.000Like the House flipping Republican, Senate going, you know, maintaining-
00:45:51.000No, I don't, I mean, it's very different with the Parliament, because basically the Parliament
00:45:55.000is the equivalent of our House of Representatives, right?
00:45:57.000And you had Jeremy Corbyn, which people don't appreciate to what extent Jeremy Corbyn is a despicable evil person who validated enormous anti-Semitism and radicalism.
00:46:59.000This is pure out of this kind of revisionist history, where, you know, population is the most oppressed in history, but also the greatest inventor simultaneously, somehow.
00:47:09.000But this has been common parlance with this kind of Howard Zinn, far lefty, and Joe Biden just, you know, being a good politician and talking the talk.
00:47:16.000But it's going to be very hard to compare him to Jeremy Corbyn because Jeremy Corbyn, I don't think we have any American analog in terms of how, what a nasty person he is and how uncharismatic and how radical his ideas were.
00:47:30.000I have a bold, I don't want to call it a prediction, but I just, you know, I have ideas sometimes.
00:47:37.000I like to look at everything that's going on, the variables, and then try and think as far ahead as possible.
00:47:41.000The issue with predicting too far ahead is that the more variables you throw into the mix, the greater number of futures you can perceive of.
00:47:52.000But I envision there's a possible future in which Donald Trump wins.
00:47:57.000There is some semblance of unity among individuals in rejection of this far-left insanity.
00:48:16.000So there's a lot of people who are secretly not speaking up.
00:48:20.000I envision a future where We actually come together, in a sense.
00:48:23.000Trump wins, shocking the nation, and ultimately we do end up in a war with China, and all of these things that have happened from the riots end up becoming an afterthought.
00:48:33.000We've got decentralized—we've decentralized our economy, remote workers working in the mountains off of— Where would the war take place?
00:48:47.000Well, the South China Sea, the atolls, a lot of the conflict would happen there.
00:48:51.000But I imagine that depending on who gets dragged into it and to what degree this erupts, first and foremost, I would say this is wild speculation looking far into the future.
00:49:03.000But most of the conflict we've seen so far has been in the South China Sea.
00:49:07.000With China, they've been accused of sinking Vietnamese fishing boats.
00:49:11.000You know they've been doing beaching drills.
00:50:06.000I'm just saying in terms of November, like there's two scenarios and I can make the case for either would be the one better to stop the riots from happening.
00:50:15.000Trump, the feds have deputized Oregon State Police.
00:51:26.000And it's really the smart... Lori Lightfoot, this genius mayor of Chicago, she said, well, the riots are happening because we don't have gun control.
00:51:37.000Lady, you haven't had gun control in 2018, 2019, 2017.
00:51:40.000Now all of a sudden it's causing rioting?
00:51:42.000How is not having gun control causing rioting?
00:51:45.000It's amazing what straws they'll grasp to try to create some kind of reason for why things are happening because these things shouldn't be happening.
00:51:52.000How do these people keep getting elected?
00:51:54.000Like, why has Chicago been Democrat for, what, 80 years?
00:51:57.000Well, I think there's a lot of dynamics in cities where people just culturally are going to end up voting for the same thing over and over and just expecting... It's unconscionable.
00:52:07.000You're not going to vote for a Republican.
00:52:08.000And the Republicans aren't going to waste their time because you're still going to have that city council.
00:52:13.000I am going to be voting in November, though.
00:52:16.000And the surge of intersectionality has freaked me out to the point where I'm like, I'll be completely honest, Trump trying to withdraw the troops from Afghanistan, I'm like, you know what, I'll take what I can get.
00:52:27.000There's two things that are going to fight this cult, which I think are going to be very useful.
00:52:31.000One is the more radical solution, which I've introduced.
00:52:35.000The kind of thing is, what the left does very well is they throw out the completely crazy version, they settle for like three quarters, defund the police.
00:53:11.000The other thing that can happen in the short term, especially with startups, is when you see someone coming from an Ivy League, you should look at that person with the same stigma as someone who was gay in the 1950s.
00:53:33.000Yeah, but now it's right to be discriminatory, be like, odds are this person has been trained to be a member of the social justice warrior militia.
00:54:28.000So this is what, when you're starting up a company, and you're looking at these resumes, you need to start looking at these as examples of something to fear and stigma, and the price, the value that they might add from coming to Lee College, it's gonna be decreasing as opposed to cost.
00:54:43.000You know what man, I remember when I was a lot younger, and when I was like a teenager, I was Catholic for a little bit, Just because I was a little kid.
00:55:11.000And... Right, but I was, you know, so morally superior to people.
00:55:16.000But there was a concern about this moral authoritarianism coming from the right, which is now predominantly on the left, and it's the exact same thing.
00:55:25.000That's why I think it's funny you said, ascribing reason to a fundamentalist faith.
00:55:30.000But these people are taking over to a degree where—I remember hearing stories about, like, what do I do when my family is ultra-religious and they won't listen to what I'm saying?
00:55:40.000I have the same problem now in the other direction.
00:55:44.000It's really interesting because the part of my family that isn't white, they love Trump.
00:55:50.000Not all of them, of course, but there's a lot of like, you know, they're all like, yeah, Trump's great.
00:55:53.000And the white people in my family, my extended family, by the way, are SJWs.
00:57:02.000So I was very good working for some of these big companies at communicating and, like, sort of opening the doors into people, like, in the sense of we could have a conversation before they recoil in horror.
00:58:30.000They threatened to burn the theater down.
00:58:32.000We do an after event, and he decides to go across the street to the Antifa protesters and talk to them, and they called him a Nazi and a white supremacist and refused, and he is Facebook posting, I've never experienced this.
00:58:44.000But fossils encourage people to believe in creationism.
00:58:48.000So the point is, for them, I talk about this in my book as well, for them black is a spiritual state.
00:58:55.000That's why Bill Clinton is the first black president and Clarence Thomas is not black.
00:59:00.000You laugh, but it has an internal logic to it.
00:59:40.000I've done so much work with North Korea and the former Soviet Union and how these totalitarian ideologies work.
00:59:46.000That when I see even the slightest bit of it, it really makes me recoil.
00:59:53.000And it's just like, this gets very bad very quickly, and I don't find it cute at all.
00:59:58.000Like, I get why you do, I just personally don't.
01:00:00.000I'm not, but I am on the verge of laughing because you're wearing this hat with the helicopter on it, and you're talking about the Soviet Union, North Koreans, Gulag, you know, kind of stuff.
01:00:10.000The helicopters solve that problem in Chile.
01:00:13.000Are you at all concerned this undermines, or actually maybe it helps?
01:00:17.000No, this is very good because it alienates people who can only see things visually and viscerally, and those are not the people I want on my side.
01:00:24.000I want people who are able to hear ideas and think critically, so this is actually a good filtering device for alienating people I wouldn't want to be able to be engaged with.
01:00:46.000And had been taught a bunch of ideas, which is based on not, it's very hard to be racist or homophobic or anti-semitic or any of these other things if you know people from that group.
01:01:42.000That when he would talk to these Klansmen and they would hang out, later when these guys were at the meetings and they would say these things about black people, he'd go, that's not at all like Daryl.
01:03:01.000And this has been the governing as I talk in my book.
01:03:05.000People think America is a secular society.
01:03:07.000America is a more religious society than ever.
01:03:09.000Just because a religion doesn't have a monotheist central god, Buddhism doesn't have that.
01:03:14.000That does not make it any less of a faith.
01:03:17.000They have their rituals, they have their televangelists who tell them what to think, Rachel Maddow, John Oliver, and very, this is literally a religion, they go on their Facebook and spread that day's sermon to all their congregants, and you're coming into their church and telling, hold on a minute, This is church!
01:03:35.000We know what we're told, because you're going to tell me that this man of the cloth is wrong, or this lesbian of the cloth is wrong?
01:03:42.000You don't know what you're talking about, and I'm offended that you would dare come in here and try to spit your sin in my house of purity.
01:03:50.000I think it's Peter Boghossian who refers to it as a non-theistic religion.
01:03:54.000Yes, it is absolutely a fundamentalist evangelical faith.
01:03:57.000I was having a conversation with a prominent online lefty a few years ago, and I was explaining that I view these people as a cult.
01:04:07.000And then I said, you know, we had a discussion about it, and there's like these rules of cult-hood.
01:04:17.000This individual, you know, disagreed with me.
01:04:19.000A couple years later, they came back and said everything they experienced with religion was very, very similar to what they're experiencing now, and it's freaking them out.
01:04:28.000And here's the other thing I want people to appreciate.
01:04:30.000This is something I have enormous disdain for conservatives are.
01:04:33.000Do not take people and give them your children to raise.
01:04:38.000Eight days, five days a week, who are, they're training their children to hate you.
01:04:45.000They, socialists regard your property as their property, but even more nefariously, they
01:04:50.000regard your children as their property.
01:04:52.000You see they're getting resentful that there might be cameras in these classrooms.
01:04:56.000And it is a very sick, and this has been by design, they talk about making good citizens.
01:05:01.000Making good citizens is a euphemism for breaking young minds and making them submissive and obedient and to have their self-esteem come from an external source, namely that mediocre man or woman at the front of the room who your approval is based on whether they give you a grade and it's based on whether they like you or not more often than not.
01:05:25.000evil system that's been going up a hundred years and that is something that
01:05:28.000really needs to be the next front line among people who are school care about
01:05:32.000their kids now i've just as a more thing a lot of people don't have the option to
01:05:35.000go to private school of course that's where the fight needs to happen that
01:05:39.000money has to follow the kid there need to be more choices for poor people i was
01:05:42.000gonna ask you a school choice i mean i i'm up for school abolition i say i i
01:05:47.000have i have said i agree I have said many times, public schools are literal prisons for children and the only place many people will ever encounter violence in their lifetimes.
01:05:57.000And we're told, this is a really sick one, It's good that you're bullied because it prepares you for real life.
01:06:03.000There is nowhere in real life where you are trapped for years with someone who is engaged in psychological warfare or physical warfare against you, other than perhaps an extremely abusive marriage.
01:06:15.000And in that case, there are many venues to help you escape it and transition to a healthy life.
01:06:22.000Whereas here, there's every chance to close the door and make sure you do not escape.
01:06:42.000Here are some things that we just take for granted.
01:06:47.000Why is it that everyone has to learn in the same way?
01:06:50.000Why is it that everyone has to be on the same timetable?
01:06:52.000Because there are periods of life in corporate America where everyone just checks in at 9 o'clock, which makes no sense when you're self-employed.
01:06:57.000Why is it that everyone has to learn the same things at the same rate?
01:07:00.000None of these things make sense in a contemporary context, but we still do them.
01:08:24.000Like, these kids were doing nasty stuff.
01:08:27.000Just, you know, there was gang activity and things like that.
01:08:30.000And so I got to experience a little bit of both, but my parents had actively been teaching me before, during, and after.
01:08:37.000When I left, the reason I went to high school for about two months, I think, or a few months, I left partly because I was lied to every step of the way.
01:08:47.000In 8th grade, they were like, look, look, I know you're upset and unhappy here and you're being held back because you're smarter and everybody and all that stuff.
01:08:54.000Grade-wise, not like, you know, I was a genius at, you know, 8 years old, or I mean 12 years old.
01:08:58.000But then they said, when you go to high school, there's going to be... Everything's gonna be different.
01:09:03.000You're gonna learn the truth about all this, you know, stuff.
01:10:25.000You're gonna get $50,000 in debt, but you'll be making $100,000 a year when you graduate, and then they go work at Starbucks.
01:10:32.000I remember when I was, I think I was like 16 or 17.
01:10:36.000My dad did want me to go to college, and I started reading this economist who wrote an article saying, If you go to any investor and say, for $40,000 in four years you'll be $40,000 in debt plus interest, they'll laugh in your face.
01:11:05.000I had, you know, offers for work and stuff, but I was kind of doing my thing.
01:11:08.000And I had a friend who told me a story about he tried hiring people for his job.
01:11:13.000He initially hired college students, but found they were incapable of doing this kind of work because they struggled and always needed direction, could never solve a problem on their own.
01:11:21.000He went through a few rounds of these employees not understanding what was wrong.
01:11:24.000And then finally, when he was broke and he said, I can't afford these kids anymore.
01:11:47.000Because now they've been initiated into this, it's a caste system.
01:11:51.000I think it's been demonstrated, I don't have the study in front of me obviously, that by far the biggest divide in America isn't between race, it's between college graduates and non-college graduates.
01:12:01.000And historically it's been like, okay, now this is kind of your entree into a certain stratus of society.
01:12:07.000Thankfully, people like you and many others are demonstrating that this is a relic of history.
01:12:13.000It's very hard to teach people, although it's increasingly easy, That it used to be the American dream, the GI Bill, right?
01:12:20.000No one in my family ever went to college.
01:12:25.000This is objective proof that our family is getting better, that our kids have it better than us.
01:12:30.000So it's very hard to knock that idea of these people's heads and be like, you're paying a lot of money for your beautiful teenage daughter to go away and to come back as a swamp walrus.
01:12:41.000with unnatural hair, who loathes and despises you, and will feel comfortable berating grandma at Thanksgiving dinner because she doesn't know how to pronounce the pronoun X-I-R.
01:13:52.000If you were never told you had to go to college, and you chose to go to college, you made a decision for yourself, and you were pursuing your passion.
01:14:26.000If the public education system worked as planned, you wouldn't need to go to college, because that high school diploma would be proof Not just evidence, proof to most companies that this guy can do, or girl, can do a great job on day one, that they are skilled, and this is a certificate that has meaning.
01:14:44.000The fact that a high school graduate is absolutely meaningless in our day and age, including possibly being illiterate, is now like, okay, well now this is a degree that counts.
01:14:52.000What they ignore, even if they had the best of interests, which I do not think for a second, is that this is another four years where this person is not an economic benefit to the culture.
01:15:03.000He's not, he or she's not working, they're students, they're net loss to the economy.
01:15:07.000So that's what, instead of going from 1 to 17 where they're not producers, now it's 1 to 21.
01:15:13.000Four years in terms of an adult's working life span is a significant chunk of that change for them not to be in the job market.
01:15:21.000And this is an economic cost that they just pretend doesn't matter.
01:15:29.000I said this in as a vague way as possible to trigger as many of these stupid people, but my family, my mom opened a cafe when I was, I think, nine.
01:15:38.000And so from nine to eleven, I worked at my family business.
01:17:14.000And when there was no one at the counter, It's like there was a counter and then there would be a table, you know, so I'd come out from- I'd sit down, I'd been playing Pokemon, and- or I'd be sitting next to my mom and her friends and they'd be talking politics.
01:18:24.000She has a book called Free Range Kids because what she did, she was called the worst mom of the year because she gave her son like a dollar and told him find your way home in New York City.
01:18:35.000And at first he was freaked, but then when he figured out how to do it, he was like, oh my God, I know how to navigate New York.
01:18:41.000And the point she makes is these stories about kidnappings, which was an issue with like Charles Lindbergh in the 20s or whatever it was.
01:18:50.000But she's like the people in busy areas are look if there's a kid.
01:18:55.000People are watching to make sure this kid is safe and if like are you okay little boy whatever so on and so forth So she talks about this very extensively and how healthy it is as opposed to public schools where your entire mental health is exported to that Mediocre person from the room where it's like I'm at 9 at 10 11 I'm old enough and big enough to figure out my way around this city and I can handle myself No one's around me to help me and I think that's such an empowering message to the kids who aren't you know dismembered and One of the, like, I guess most powerful revelations kids have is, I can't believe I had to ask to go to the bathroom.
01:22:37.000You have to, not everything's from your own perspective, something different, different perspectives.
01:22:41.000And so then, I think what made me drop out was not cutting my losses, was I need to decide for myself, and I need to figure out what I need to do, and no one's gonna do for me.
01:22:51.000And it's really interesting how that translates into the work I do here on YouTube, and podcasting in general.
01:22:56.000I mean, the podcast is on a bunch of other platforms as well.
01:22:59.000But so many people have this view in their mind that you must be lifted up by someone else, and they use jobs and opportunities as stepping stones.
01:23:07.000Like, hey Tim, you know Joe Rogan, right?
01:23:46.000My advice to people is mind your own business.
01:23:50.000And I don't mean that in the sense like don't talk to people, don't network.
01:23:54.000I'm saying work hard and figure it out for yourself.
01:23:59.000And people will be glad to introduce you to other people.
01:24:01.000Because if there's someone who would be a great guest on this show, I wouldn't have... I would not have... If someone asked me to get in touch with you, I wouldn't do it.
01:24:08.000But if I knew someone who I knew you'd be a good guest, you wouldn't have to ask me.
01:24:11.000I'd be like, Tim, you should check this person out.
01:24:13.000You could say yes or no, but you wouldn't also feel weird that I recommended someone who you could see as possibly a potential guest.
01:24:19.000A lot of people... I think... It's so transparent, though.
01:24:52.000But I don't need to hire someone to do something I know how to do.
01:24:55.000It's critical theory, not critical thought.
01:24:57.000I just thought of that, and whoever else uses it, you gotta credit me.
01:25:01.000But that's a good way of conceptualizing it.
01:25:04.000But there's another aspect to that, too.
01:25:06.000There are other people who are not SJWs who spent their entire lives in school, then college, and they went to, like, good private schools.
01:25:14.000They're still people who are guided, you know, with someone in front of them saying, now you do this, now you do this.
01:25:27.000If you think that Candace Owens and Trump, if you sit down with a black person who's a lawyer and you tell them you're on a plantation and this is going to end well for you and is appropriate, you're blue-pilled and deranged.
01:25:40.000If you do the Candace Owens thing, you sit down with a black person who's a lawyer and say, you're on a plantation, you should vote Republican, that this is something that's appropriate or that they're going to be receptive to, you're a crazy person.
01:25:51.000I certainly think she's had an impact, to be fair.
01:26:10.000Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the approved rating is 30%.
01:26:13.000But my point is, I don't think that's an effective... You were earlier talking about convincing someone to give you money.
01:26:19.000I don't think someone who is at all successful, if you talk to them as a white person and say you're on a plantation, this is going to be grounds for further conversation.
01:27:46.000You can't be honest with people, because people will react emotionally.
01:27:50.000Yeah, you're manipulating them towards a goal that they're not aware that is their goal.
01:27:54.000I didn't last very long at any one of these companies, to be completely honest, because I felt like I could go to any one of these non-profits and finally find the place where I could be honest.
01:29:04.000I didn't want to work in that kind of environment.
01:29:06.000But imagine everything that's going on with politics.
01:29:09.000We opened this show talking about how the Atlantic is playing defense for Joe Biden.
01:29:14.000And one of the things we didn't actually mention, there's a news story that came out from the Washington Post and a bunch of other outlets, 93% of all of the protests have been peaceful.
01:29:24.000How convenient at a time when we're actually starting to get angry about the violence and the destruction and regular people are waking up to how insane it is.
01:29:47.000When they talk about, like, terrorism, and they talk about Muslim terrorism versus, like, white male extremist terrorism, and they start at 2002, it's like, why'd you start in 2002?
01:29:56.000Did anything happen in 2001 that might skew the date one way or another, possibly?
01:30:01.000And what year do they choose for white supremacy?
01:30:19.000So it's factual but not truthful, and the same is, like, okay, if you have a billion protests and 7% are violent, that's really bad.
01:30:29.000If you have 100 protests and 7% are violent, that's bad, but nowhere near as bad.
01:30:33.000Percentage is completely an irrelevancy when we're dealing with people being killed, businesses.
01:30:41.000This is why I have so much contempt for de Blasio and Cuomo and many such other people.
01:30:46.000Which is, there's nothing more American, we've all been told, especially by the Cuomos of the world, the Fredos of the world, where you have the family that comes over, mom and dad put together a business, maybe mom's a good cook, they have a restaurant, dry cleaning, grocery store, all the typical immigrant jobs.
01:31:01.000These were the first people put out of business by this COVID nonsense.
01:31:05.000And there's no responsibility for what you've done to them.
01:31:10.000There's not going to be any restitution.
01:31:12.000And now when their businesses are burned down, they're told, sit down and shut up.
01:34:38.000I'm guessing it's going to be around 2023-2024 when we start having the necessary discussion about how do you have personal consequences for these people who do these things.
01:34:48.000Because without personal consequences, they will do it again in a second because their incentives are all there.
01:34:54.000And until that happens, and it's not going to be voting them out of office, this is going to continue.
01:34:58.000And that's going to be a very disturbing conversation to have.
01:35:01.000Should there be a grand jury indictment for Cuomo for putting sick patients into nursing homes, killing 6,500?
01:35:09.000I am not in a position to say what I think should be done, Governor Cuomo.
01:35:13.000Not publicly at least. I'm not. And I'm not joking in the slightest.
01:35:18.000There's a lot of governors who were putting sick people in nursing homes.
01:36:10.000Some of the statements made by individuals, higher profile right-wing groups and right-wing militia groups, the things they've said, I'm like, I hope saying no, it's the best thing I can do, and if we all do it, it can prevent the worst to come.
01:37:43.000How dare you talk about, and then how dare you talk about this with the, you are normalizing violence against the president of the United States as the governor.
01:37:51.000You're saying, well, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of people, like, force violence on you.
01:37:57.000How many people... It's your job to keep him safe.
01:37:59.000He's a New York resident, or he was until recently.
01:38:01.000How many people died in New York from COVID?
01:38:04.000Is it like, uh... It wasn't like 25,000, but then those numbers are skewed, because now we're finding that they died with COVID as opposed to died of COVID.
01:38:13.000So this is something that a lot of people are confused by.
01:38:15.000I think Lydia clarified this, having actually been a fancy doctor.
01:38:18.000Yeah, so if you had something else and you died of COVID, they counted you as having died with COVID, which is, I believe, a pretty standard operation.
01:38:27.000No, but specifically the 94% thing that came out, comorbidities.
01:38:48.000So these people, we knew this from the beginning, that people who had comorbidities or were invulnerable groups were much more likely to die from COVID.
01:38:56.000But I think when you look at the data, and a lot of the arguments now coming from even some reputable, I say reputable, wink wink, news sources, what I mean by that is, are they actually credible?
01:39:31.000Then Fauci was like, oh, harumph, I say.
01:39:34.000And then there are some jurisdictions that have completely opened up that were previously locked down, suggesting Yeah, we should have been good to reopen a while ago, at least substantially more than we've already done.
01:39:45.000But for whatever reason, they want to destroy and make sure that these businesses cannot ever come back.
01:39:52.000The reason is they enjoy their sense of power.
01:39:54.000And I also tweeted this out, which is, whether we like it or not, some very evil people now have some very useful information about how much Americans will put up with.
01:40:05.000I think it's also that they're cowards, and they don't want any responsibility at all.
01:40:38.000But the point he made in that first paragraph, and I don't know if this is the theme of the whole piece, was he was saying that a lot of lefties who come from liberal arts colleges have never been to sales meetings.
01:40:47.000So when they hear Trump talk and say these absurdities, it doesn't resonate with them.
01:40:51.000And they're like, I've never heard anything like this.
01:40:53.000And we need to get away from that culture and back to our culture.
01:40:56.000And my point is, if you're asking me to choose between the salespeople And the Ivy League grads, this is not a hard choice.
01:41:03.000And we need to do everything in our possible, possible in our power to avoid that.
01:41:07.000Because the first college president to become president was who?
01:41:15.000And you have people who are morons, who are not highly educated, like Ronald Reagan from Eureka College, who ends the Cold War without firing a shot.
01:41:22.000And I'm using the term moron here, ironically.
01:41:24.000There's a great part of this article he writes where he says, he essentially says the cycle functions like this with the media.
01:41:33.000Trump will say something, the media within seconds will immediately assert the opposite without evidence, but claiming Trump is the one who's trying to kill people, and he says call this the hydroxychloroquine effect.
01:41:44.000The president sees some news reports from some outlets claiming there's some prominent studies.
01:42:11.000Back in May, he had everyone tweeting, hashtag, I am Antifa.
01:42:15.000People who had never heard of Antifa the week prior were now in a position to lecture their Facebook friends about this organization, this movement doesn't really exist, but if it did exist, it's just like you and me.
01:42:26.000So I would encourage people to go back and look at any Bluechecks who Bluechecked I am Antifa and ask them, follow up, do you still consider yourself a member of Antifa?
01:42:59.000I'm not a fan of these... the laws that ascribe that, like, motives are prerequisite to breaking a crime when the crime is already a crime.
01:44:09.000But again, I have to stress, the people that I often talk to who complain about Republicans, like, but Trump this and that, I'll be like, Trump is very different from what the Republicans are.
01:44:19.000I think the Republicans are awful, completely awful.
01:44:21.000But I just think, the way I kind of view it now, Trump is a bull that he was unleashed into the ivory tower.
01:44:27.000And he's just stomping around, running upstairs, kicking, you know, and these Ivy League, you know, ivory tower elites are like going, and like running around frantic.
01:44:36.000And if you help them kick the bull out, they will lock the doors and never let anyone in again.
01:45:05.000Yeah, but what happens if the Bull stays in and finally pushes them out?
01:45:09.000Bull gets tired, Bull eventually leaves, and now the people can come in.
01:45:13.000The establishment that wants to lock down control are getting support from progressives in this country who, I'm surprised, they should be sitting back laughing at the establishment getting trounced all over.
01:45:24.000Let Trump, you know, Trump is not that bad.
01:45:27.000Let him, let him, you know, run his course, push back on the extremism.
01:45:31.000I guess a lot of these progressives are identitarian, so they're trying to accept their victories as well.
01:45:35.000The way I see it is, after Trump, if the establishment is pushed out and weakened beyond any repair, then maybe we can actually start having real conversations beyond what Trump is or was.
01:45:45.000But if he gets kicked out, then you're going to have the same corporate crony, Wall Street, whatever elites, locking the doors and no one will ever get in.
01:45:53.000And that's, I mean, this is how disingenuous there was.
01:45:56.000There was an article recently that says, oh my gosh, all these Republican national security advisors with all this history behind them are endorsing Biden.
01:46:04.000And then I just retweeted, I go, this happened four years ago under Hillary.
01:46:07.000Like we all remember this, that it was like everyone There was a news report, six mayors from Iron Range cities endorsed Donald Trump.
01:48:02.000And he said something like, maybe it's because Assange exposed the intelligence agencies that were spending years, you know, screwing with his presidency and causing him problems.
01:48:16.000I hope if Trump gets reelected, that we see my favorite side of Trump, the petty vindictiveness.
01:48:22.000One of the best moments of the Trump presidency was when Nancy Pelosi and all them were going overseas and he made them literally turn the bus around and saying you're not getting on the plane.
01:48:46.000I've never been a fan of Trump's, and he did this a lot earlier on, very bombastic, very offensive and angry, and he's chilled out a whole lot.
01:48:56.000But I gotta tell you, there is something magical to seeing crony establishment millionaires, and billionaires, getting comeuppance.
01:49:06.000Nancy Pelosi, who's been in, well actually yes, Hillary Clinton, I laughed so hard when he won because it was like, At the time, in 2016, I was for Bernie.
01:49:16.000And then Bernie kind of let me down in a lot of ways.
01:49:18.000But when Hillary lost, it was like all of your dirty games and your arrogance has just, you know... Remember that tweet?
01:49:26.000Happy birthday to this future president a few days before the election.
01:49:42.000This is why a lot of people like Trump, because finally you had someone in your corner saying all of these things that you wish you could say to them, and he's saying it.
01:49:51.000Well, also the fact that this sense of that the vote is kind of a formality.
01:51:23.000Not that she's a genius, but Paul Ryan was no dummy.
01:51:27.000Yeah, but this was a long time ago, man.
01:51:29.000The point is, there is a track record, and he was in the Senate for many years, it's still there in his brain.
01:51:34.000So it's not at all a given that he's going to be there and literally crap his pants on stage, as I'm predicting.
01:51:40.000I think Trump is going to... Annihilate him?
01:51:44.000It's going to be... You're also forgetting there's a third person there, that's the moderator.
01:51:48.000And it's very, very plausible that that moderator will be doing Joe's... being like the switch hitter, or whatever you want to call it, and be like, oh, when he said this, and just completely mischaracterized...
01:52:54.000The West picks on Putin because they're punching down.
01:52:57.000Remember, we're still in the generation that won the Cold War and got incredibly cocky afterward by building the EU in Warsaw Pact countries.
01:55:18.000I think the conservatives are greatly overconfident in their ability to win a conflict because they don't realize their disadvantage in communications.
01:55:29.000So I think Verizon and AT&T would ban anybody in a moment's notice.
01:55:35.000And they would argue national security in two seconds.
01:55:37.000So come election time, Mark Zuckerberg has already sided with the narrative of the left that the election is going to be totally fine even if we can't determine a winner for weeks, which is not totally fine.
01:55:51.000So what's going to happen is there's going to be impropriety.
01:55:53.000We've already seen it across the country.
01:55:55.000And I think they're prepping us for it so that we say these things.
01:55:59.000Then when we're like, hey, we're seeing these problems, and Trump comes out and says, what's going on in, you know, in Florida is a disgrace, these mail-in ballots they're finding, banned.
01:56:09.000Then you'll only ever hear the left narrative.
01:56:12.000What's really funny, on Reddit, for a long time there's been a meme called, the left can't meme.
01:56:55.000Maybe there's people I'm not thinking of.
01:56:57.000But the fact that they went after Carpe Donctum after not verifying him, the guy who makes the memes that the president shares, and they're just like, oh, copyright violation.
01:57:12.000You're all using the same term, doctored, which implies deception.
01:57:16.000When President Trump, in a WrestleMania clip, is body slamming CNN, no one looks at that and says, so CNN the network has become incarnate as a person.
01:57:25.000With the logo as a head and the president's body slamming him.
01:57:30.000So the fact that they are taking out prominent figures like that should be very disturbing because we're one step away, and I think the EU has passed laws to this effect, where making memes is illegal.
01:57:44.000Because that is one of the most effective ways at delegitimizing their authority.
01:57:48.000Because it's not, I'm going to argue with you, it's I'm going to demonstrate you're an awful person who should be the object of derision, not someone to disagree with merely.
01:58:38.000But hearing what they think is going to be extremely insightful for people when you're trying to track opinions and you've got this class of people that are plugged in, politicos, who read the news all day.
01:58:49.000Our opinions are so far removed from regular people.
01:58:53.000So trying to find... vetting is the problem because you might get some dude who comes in and starts talking about just lizard people and, you know, it's like...
01:59:00.000I'm telling you, man, I saw a guy and his eyes went, you know, crazy and I'm like, uh, maybe we shouldn't have done this.
01:59:06.000So just finding, you know, just like regular people who are, you know, they follow the news a little bit.
01:59:29.000The only real concern is finding someone who, you know, it turns out that they're an unrepentant racist and immediately starts screaming insane things, we gotta throw them out.
01:59:38.000If someone came in talking about lizard people, I'd be so mad.
01:59:41.000What if they just told meandering stories that didn't really pay off?
01:59:47.000They called out the Michael Malish show Yeah
01:59:51.000So this was, you need to hear this man Because this is really important
01:59:55.000I was once on my way to McDonald's This is very important
01:59:59.000When I was walking there I actually came across a dog
02:00:03.000Now the dog, I couldn't tell what kind of dog it was But the guy who was with him, his phone started ringing
02:00:07.000And I got over here on the phone There was some guy talking about some kind of box factory
02:00:11.000Actually I think it was a storage place So anyway that storage place it turns out
02:00:15.000Oh my god Me and 5 Beans for a Nickel I'd say
02:00:45.000Yeah, so we're not at the position yet where we can start actually setting up this, but we're getting really close to relocating and setting up a new temporary studio.
02:00:54.000We're actually getting a real studio built.
02:00:56.000I'm in this, like, addition on my house, and this is foam insulation with sound foam glue.
02:01:40.000I mean, I don't understand how someone who has, I think, more than one passport, who's like a French national, British national, is in a position to get herself arrested.
02:01:48.000I think this is very much a situation where she's like, all right, let's cut a deal.
02:01:51.000That's what makes sense to me, at least.
02:02:13.000We normally end the show at 10, and that's when Bucko wakes up, and then he becomes adamant that, you know, you're supposed to be done with the show, give me attention, so here he is standing up.
02:03:01.000And this is something they never forgave Richard Nixon for.
02:03:03.000Alger Hiss was a big shot at, I believe, the State Department, and he was exposed as a Soviet spy.
02:03:09.000They're trying to make it out that people were fired for, like, voting communist.
02:03:14.000These were people who were secretly involved in preparing for the violent overthrow of our government, seizure of all property, which inevitably led to deaths at orders of millions of people, under orders from a foreign Government.
02:03:29.000This isn't a mere difference of opinion.
02:03:30.000And then, the only bad thing that happened to them is that they couldn't get jobs in Hollywood.
02:03:37.000And the fact that the people named... You laugh, but the fact that the people named names and pointed them out was regarded even 60 years later as unspeakable evil.
02:09:46.000I've been doing, actually, for the last year and a half, a deep dive in the Harlem Renaissance, which I know more about than almost anyone.
02:09:57.000Can I say something about that question because it really speaks to something I think is very important, how the right has failed.
02:10:03.000The idea that black soldiers during the Revolutionary War is something that only black people are interested in is insane because this is something that's fascinating to everyone.
02:10:14.000What was it like to be a black person in New York in 1776?
02:10:19.000Any of us would be fascinated to know that Absolutely.
02:10:21.000But because so many conservatives have understandably handed over black history and gay history and women's history to elements of the far left, they are left exposed and allow the cathedral to propagate lies about this history because they are like, well, this isn't my world.
02:10:52.000And no one would argue otherwise unless you're completely deranged.
02:10:55.000So this is a great example of how conservatives are losing because conservatives at its best is studying lessons of history and applying it today.
02:11:02.000And there's huge swaths where they're like, well, this is just lefty craft trap.
02:11:34.000On the other hand, he voted for the war.
02:11:37.000And my contacts have told me that basically the State Department vis-a-vis North Korea, their strategy going forward, at least in the near future, is to pretend North Korea doesn't exist.
02:11:49.000One of the things I talk about in Dear Reader, I talk about constantly why I'm wearing this shirt.
02:11:53.000Everyone in North Korea, when they leave their house, 25 million, 30 million people, have to wear a lapel pin over their heart with the leaders at all times.
02:12:00.000So this, that's the level of, there's so many layers to the oppression in that country.
02:12:05.000So this is kind of my thing to show a little bit of solidarity for these poor, poor people.
02:12:09.000So I am very, I mean, I hope desperately that if Trump is reelected, he makes it as much a priority as he did in his first term.
02:12:19.000His first meeting was with Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago talking about North Korea.
02:12:22.000And that gave me so much hope because during the Obama years, they didn't do anything.
02:12:26.000I can't really blame Obama because it's such a complicated issue.
02:12:29.000I thought Trump crossing the DMZ into North Korea was incredible.
02:12:33.000If you all want to cry, there's many North Korean families that have been separated for decades because of the Korean War, and there's videos where the evil North Korean government lets them see their family members once in a while, and they meet for a day.
02:12:46.000The North Koreans have a minder, and they separate out.
02:12:48.000You watch these videos, brothers who haven't seen each other for 40 years, you are going to start crying hysterically.
02:12:54.000It's the most touching humanity you can imagine.
02:15:13.000A couple people, I may be misremembering, this has been a long time so you can look this up, but apparently Anonymous was like, we're gonna challenge you, and then some corpses were hanging from a highway sign with the masks on or whatever.
02:15:48.000to go to the bathroom because I'm a senior citizen and I checked Twitter quickly and in the verify tab it says Jeb Bush followed you and I'm like, And I'm sleepy enough, I'm like, what?
02:15:56.000And I looked, and it was really him, and I DM'd with him a little bit, and it was like a very, very surreal moment, and I asked him on the show.
02:16:03.000He didn't want to do it, but I don't blame him.
