1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to another episode of The Buck Sexton Show. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: We're joined by Mike Sarnovich. He is an independent journalist, commentator, 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: or filmmaker, a man of many talents and abilities and 4 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: has a lot to talk to us about today. Mike, 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: first time on the show. Welcome sir, Thank you my pleasure. 6 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: So I gotta ask you, how are we doing these 7 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: days on the right when people ask you that question, 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 1: or what do you think about that? What are the 9 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: first things that come to mind? Well, the first thing 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: that comes to mind is they did when a mid 11 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 1: term with the House, and they did get a popular 12 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 1: vote majority, which mattered of course before the current time. Right, Well, 13 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: they won the popular vote for the House. That's the 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: good news. The other good news is the Senate is 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: looking good. In twenty twenty four, Republicans can retake that. 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: The you know, on the other hand, there's a lack 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: of purpose and mission caused by an obsession with the 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty election that like just won't go away. So 19 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: you have a number of people, myself included, and I'm 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,199 Speaker 1: becoming more of a dinosaur who says, I mean, of course, 21 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: every you can read about the Jfkle election. You can 22 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: read about Bush versus Gore. Democrats had their opinion on that, 23 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: of course, but you have to move on or you 24 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: have to have some kind of solution. You can't dwell 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: on it. And the right is currently obsessed with it 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: and will not let it go. And anyone who doesn't 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: think that's the most important issue as a traitor controlled 28 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: opposition not ready for the moment. And that's people saying 29 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: that as a large percentage of the voting base, that's 30 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: a huge problem. And I don't know what, if anything, 31 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: is going to be done about that problem. Yeah, I 32 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: was gonna ask you what you said, a huge percentage? 33 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: What percent of the GOP base would you estimate based 34 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: on your interactions with them? Are completely and unalterably, at 35 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: least for now, committed to the idea that Donald Trump 36 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: won in twenty twenty, and therefore a replay of twenty 37 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 1: twenty in terms of strategy, candidate everything would be to 38 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: our advantage. I would say ten to twenty. Yeah, that 39 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: would be. That would be my guests as well. Is 40 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: there what would have taken me? So when I have people, 41 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: for example, calling on radio, and I'll bring up I 42 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: think Georgia is a perfect microcosm of this, right. I 43 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: think there are some states where you can look and 44 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: see and say, hold on a second. We were able 45 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: to win all but a race that was very much 46 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: associated with Donald Trump and with twenty twenty election issues. 47 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: And I'm not somebody thinks it was a clean election, 48 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 1: but that, to me, that becomes irrelevant at some point 49 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: unless we're talking about fixes to the election. Do you 50 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: think there's anything Is this an unfalsified bable claim. Now 51 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: for many people, the twenty election was stolen and therefore 52 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. We just have to have Donald Trump 53 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: again because he'll win this time. There's so there's two 54 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: elements to that. One is the people who I don't 55 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: think are annoying who say, hey, man, it was taken 56 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: from Trump unjustly, let him have another rematch. I don't 57 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,359 Speaker 1: actually get upset by that point of view. I don't 58 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: agree with that. I think wrong, but that's within the 59 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: realm of reasonable dischorus. But there's fortunately it's not ten percent, 60 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: but it's probably one to three percent who would say, well, buck, 61 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: you bring up Georgia. But that's because they the voting machine. 62 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: People let these Republicans win. That's what they'll tell you 63 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: that there's control now to a level of granularity where 64 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: they can say, okay, well let this guy Republican win 65 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: and that one win, but we're not going to let 66 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: that one win. Those people drive me insane. Honestly, they 67 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: not insane, but they annoy me the way Internet spam 68 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: annoys me. And there's no reaching them. That's the bigger 69 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: problem too. So within that subset of the ten to 70 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: twenty percent we think we have to redo twenty twenty 71 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: is say, a percentage of people who they're not open 72 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: to reason. You can't say, hey, look we just had 73 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: an election, barely one why they barely won well, Florida 74 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: that map. We now have people attacking de Santas's redistricting 75 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: map in Florida, which is the only reason the House 76 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 1: has a majority, right because Lee's Alvin pulled a few 77 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: people up in New York to Santas is actually in 78 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: federal court or will be soon. Because when the Florida 79 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: legislator drew up a map, it didn't give Republicans much 80 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: of an advantage, but because the state had changed, it 81 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: was an unjust map. The Santas said, no, we need 82 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: to do a new map, and did a new map, 83 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: so there's barely a Republican majority. That's because of ld 84 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: In de Santas, not because the Trump Trump seemed to 85 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: have dragged down people who couldn't let go of the 86 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: t twenty election. And that would be the logical case 87 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: that I make. No that they're having you know, they're 88 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: having none of it. Can I ask you, you know, 89 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: as a guy who I think certainly became known in 90 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 1: conservative circles in the Trump era and relating specifically to 91 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen and the rise of the Trump movement, are 92 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,920 Speaker 1: you accused like? What are what are people who are 93 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: very who are so pro Trump that they don't want 94 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: to hear or they don't believe some of the arguments 95 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: you're making. Is the response that you've you've turned on Trump. 96 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,239 Speaker 1: It just feels like you would have the credibility to say, 97 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: I still think a lot of what Trump did is great, 98 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: and I appreciate Trump, but I at this on this issue, 99 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 1: I break from some of the narrative. Right, do you 100 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: get any leeway for that? Well? I do from people 101 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: who know right. You don't see a lot of people 102 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: who are insiders saying too much because what I say 103 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: is actually true. But the funny, the funny criticism of 104 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: me is, and this is again because of maybe the 105 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: way that people are spoken to who are trump mooters. 106 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: You're either Trump or you're never Trump. And if you're 107 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: never Trump, you're the dispatch. And no, what do you 108 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: do with a guy who is hated by the never 109 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: trumpers despies. I'm sure you knew, especially in twenty sixteen, 110 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: I was hated, and because I was pretty ferocious, I 111 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: ruffled a lot of feathers. Twenty seventeen, still pretty hated 112 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: because I was pro Trump and I was knocking metaphorically 113 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: knocking heads of these dishonest conservative pipe piper leaders right. 114 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: So to me, if I were Trump people, I would 115 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: be worried. I would say, Okay, we know where Cerovic was. 116 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,799 Speaker 1: He's not there now. He's so far over Trump, and 117 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: we need to find out why, and we need to 118 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: fix up with the inter is that they don't want 119 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: to engage with realities. So the realities. I sent you 120 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: an article from twenty seventeen Foreign Policy magazine. So people go, 121 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, especially people who are new to politics, go 122 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: cerna of it. You're never Trumper, You're a nobody, You're 123 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: a loser without Trump or nothing, blah blah blah. And 124 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: here's all I gotta say. I was under federal investigation 125 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: by the National Security Advisor hr McMaster because my reporting 126 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: into the sabotage efforts directed at Trump were so truthful 127 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: and effective that they wanted to shut me down. The 128 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: Ukraine whistle blower who came up during that impeachment trial, 129 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: I reported that this person was looking to get Trump 130 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: set up on something, or to figure something out, or 131 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: to find a way to get Trump out of office. 132 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: I reported that in twenty seventeen, the name and everything 133 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: which you can't even say lo and behold the name resurfaces. 134 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: And oh, the same guy that I said in twenty 135 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: seventeen wasna was gonna be a problem. Oh so two 136 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: years twenty seventeen, two years later, now you're in trouble 137 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: for something that I warned you about. So when people 138 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: come at me with these ridiculous slander at this point, 139 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: the idea that that um that I I mean, never 140 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: Trumper who doesn't know anything, it's actually the opposite. I 141 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: was such a pro Trumper, and I was explaining what 142 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: was being done to sabotage Trump when he could have 143 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: reversed course, and they didn't want to listen. So then 144 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen, I said, I'm pretty much over this guy. 145 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: There's no real point and in doing this right point 146 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: Trump Agenda. I'm sorry, Mike, guess what I mean? Did? 147 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: Did the Trump Agenda get subverted by people that Trump 148 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: brought into his orbit or was the apparatus and the 149 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: deep state and the and the Democrat media just too 150 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: much so that the promises were not able to be 151 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: seen through? Right? What was it within Trump's control? Or 152 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: was it external forces that are too much for anyone 153 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: to be able to break through to fulfill all the 154 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: promises or even the biggest promises of the agenda build 155 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: the wall, for example. Well, you know the answer to that. 156 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: You were at Trump DC, and I'm sure you heard 157 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: because we are there in the same era. The same 158 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: thing that I heard is the only way to get 159 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 1: hired and the Trump administration is to prove that you 160 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: were never Trumper. In twenty sixteen and twenty fifteen, that 161 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: was the quote unquote joke. If you want a job 162 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: in the Trump administration, you better prove that you were 163 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: never Trump during his campaign, and we saw it over 164 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: and over and over again, who they put in charge 165 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: of things at State Department. You know, you can talk 166 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: to people like Amanda Militis is still loyal to Trump. 167 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 1: She's still called him the president. She's still loyal. But 168 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: you can ask her and she'll tell you, because again, 169 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: what I say is not dishonest. They'll all tell you. 170 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the people who are put in control, we're 171 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: all never Trumpers. And people would go and say, why 172 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: are you hiring never Trumpers? And Trump would just sort 173 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: of raised his hand, you know, yeah, how did that happen? 174 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: Though you know you were there. How did that happen? 175 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: How did never Trumpers take over the Trump administration? Seems bizarre. 176 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: Trump never had any interest in getting into the weeds 177 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: of how you create administration. Now. The excuse for that is, oh, 178 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: when you come from the private sector, you hire people. 179 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: Everybody shares a mission, everybody wants to make money. Oh, 180 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: poor Trump was naive, which I hate that line. I'm 181 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: forty five. I don't know how you old you are you? Yeah, 182 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 1: if you talked about me like that, I'd be insulted. 183 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: Oh poor Mike, helpless little baby, he didn't know. He's 184 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: so naive. I would be insulted, and that's how people 185 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: talk about Trump like he's a geriatric. Oh he just 186 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: didn't know how vicious it was gonna be. Well he didn't. 187 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: I mean, he had people telling them this. People like 188 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: me were telling them this. A lot of people, probably 189 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 1: people like you, were telling that to him or a 190 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: staff was at the very least, so they're the whole 191 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: always just he just never hered. He never gave a 192 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: crap about sitting down and saying, Okay, I'm the president, 193 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: now what can I do? How do I make this happen? 194 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: He fell right into the trap when firing Flynned with 195 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: the Russia Gate stuff. He was distracted by all of this, 196 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: these chaotic land minds going off about him and of saying, 197 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: why don't I just hire people who like me and 198 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: support me? And then of course Mike Pompeo started getting 199 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: the security clearance, this pool of Trump supporters I was 200 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: supporting that at the time didn't matter. He wasn't protecting 201 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 1: his staffers. They were getting walked out from the National 202 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: Security Council one by one. It was like a joke, like, oh, 203 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: who's getting fired today? Right? Rich Higgins Rest in peace? 204 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 1: Who you know succumbed to various medical conditions. A couple 205 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: of years ago, was walked out of the National Security 206 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 1: Council brilliant guy because he was too hard on China. 207 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: He wrote this memo explaining how China All this is true. 208 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: Now if you go read the Rich Higgens memo, everything 209 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: he said is true. So Rich Higgins was warning people 210 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: about the Confucius Institute. He was warning people about how 211 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: China is subverting the country via you know, university, and 212 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: for that he got fired, walked out. So why why 213 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: are people getting walked out? Can I just tell you 214 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,599 Speaker 1: one thing that when I was in the CIA that 215 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: I used to say when they found out finally that 216 00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: I was leaving, they reached out and I had I 217 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: didn't leave under wasn't angry or an event. I just got, honestly, 218 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: a cooler opportunity for me at the time, which was 219 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: the start of media career, which I wasn't looking for, 220 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: but I found me. But I just remember telling them, 221 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: I said, you know, guys, this is now. This is 222 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: from an analysts side, to be fair, but I said, 223 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: one of the problems in our business and I met 224 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: this in the whole national security National security sphere overall. 225 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: If I was in DC, I'd say written large, because 226 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: everybody in DC has to say written large all the time, 227 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: has sound serious. But one of the things was that 228 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: being right in the long run, meaning to be truly right, 229 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. It's being right in the office with the 230 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: policymaker at the time of the discussion, such that they 231 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: like you and they want you back. The incentives are 232 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: all wrong. And just to what you said about your friend, 233 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who's right about the WMD, it doesn't 234 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: matter who's right about us China. It doesn't matter who. 235 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 1: What matters is do the people making the decisions like 236 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: you when you're a CIA officer, when you're an FBI, 237 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: you know, senior counterintelligence guy. Whatever's that's why you have 238 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: this this This plays out time and time again, Mike. Yeah. 239 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: And people were explaining that to Trump, but again he 240 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: had no interest in learning this. So that's why I 241 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: bring up I hate to be the old guy who 242 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: was well back when I was in high school, I 243 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 1: scored four touchdowns. That's not what this is about, right, 244 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: The reliving and glory days, those are actually quite stress 245 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,200 Speaker 1: quite stressful. Actually, when the entire intelligence community has singled 246 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: out you a civilian for political and or worse style assassination. 247 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: So it's not like a glory. It's more like I 248 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: put my neck on the line. All of these things 249 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: I reported came out to be true. All of the 250 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: excuses people make are not excuses. It's not Monday morning 251 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: quarterbacking for me in twenty twenty two. To bring up 252 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, when in twenty seventeen, I and other people 253 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: close to the president were saying, Hey, you got a 254 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 1: problem here. You gotta get rid of certain people. Your 255 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: loyal people are getting fired. They're trying to completely rework 256 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: this into the Hillary Clinton National Security Council. You bet 257 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 1: you better handle your business right. I'll tell you. One 258 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 1: of my frustrations, Mike real quick about this is that 259 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: Trump brought me in in May of twenty twenty. I 260 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: thought it was because I was one of the first 261 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,319 Speaker 1: people to say I don't know. There were some others, 262 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: you know, my friend Jesse Kelly, and there were a 263 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: few people who very early on April twenty twenty were like, 264 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: this is crazy, open up, no mask, this is insane. 265 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: But I thought he want to talk about COVID, He 266 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: want to talk about the intelligence community and some of 267 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: the top people who were still in that I knew, 268 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: you know, either personally or or well enough that I 269 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: could weigh in on And it was kind of funny. Now, granted, 270 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: Trump thought he was going to get four more years, 271 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: so I respect, but there was a part of me 272 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: that wanted to be like missus president. You know, you 273 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: know me and he had known me since I was 274 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: a kid. He had actually, Trump and his kids had 275 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: known me since I was thirteen or fourteen years old 276 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: in New York. So you bring me in now it's 277 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: been four years, you're asking me. I could have helped 278 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: him avoid some of the deep state bear traps that 279 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: he walked into. But he didn't ask my little well 280 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: me didn't, that's my opinion. You know, he brought in, Look, 281 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: he brought in a bunch of swamp guys. He just did. 282 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: And so you know, I sit here and I'm like, 283 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: I you know, it's like if I were you know, 284 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: you're a dad. I'm hoping to be dad soon. I 285 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 1: just got married. If I told if I wanted to 286 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: tell my kid, hey, you know, run this play on 287 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: the football field, but he won't even listen to me. 288 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: I can't even say it, and then he gets just 289 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: annihilated and sacked and loses the ball, loses the football. 290 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: That's how it felt to me. It's like, really, I 291 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: don't know that was frustrating. Well no, it's really I 292 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: didn't know that about you. And that's even more annoying 293 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: to me because yeah, right, so you're you're at the 294 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: Trump DC Hotel. You're hearing the same things that I'm hearing, yeah, 295 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: which is, oh, yeah, got walked out today? Well why Well, 296 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: because some Clinton appointee wanted the jobs, so they got 297 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: rid of the Trump person and they put a Clinton 298 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: person in there. And the intelligence community is indistinguishable under 299 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: Trump that it would have been under a Clinton president. 300 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: Seeing you're like, oh another one. Wow. So it's like 301 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: Friday night, like every Friday was a Friday night. I like, 302 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: are you're at Trump Trump the Trump Hotel DC? And 303 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: oh yeah that oh I'm out of a job now. 304 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: And then of course there was no soft landing for 305 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: those people. So you saw this. You know, of course 306 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: you could have and you know this, you could have 307 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: just had Trump walk through Trump Hotel in DC when 308 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, when it was Trump Hotel when he was 309 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: president and just walking just people that he knew by 310 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: side a name, you know, you me others, and it's 311 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: been like, hey, guys, I'm thinking about bringing this guy 312 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: in or gal to some very senior, very important post. 313 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: What do you guys think? And we could have said, 314 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, because we all knew, we would have said, sir, 315 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: this is a person who it's just about them. There's no, 316 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: it's not about service to the mission. It's certainly not 317 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: about service to your agenda. But some that feedback mechanism, 318 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 1: and I've tried to tell people this. It's like every 319 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: time I felt like I was trying to coach. And 320 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: I have a much bigger platform now than I did 321 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: during the Trump administration, to be fair, but every time 322 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: I felt like, even from what I had, I was 323 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: trying to coach Trump in the movement, out of out 324 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: of love for what was trying to be accomplished, I 325 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: got shot, Why don't you believe him? Four D chess? 326 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: Shut up? Why aren't you with him? I'm like with him, 327 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm with him the way that you know the coach 328 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: whose desperate to see his team win is with him. 329 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: Like what and that feedback mechanism being broken?

And I 361 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: feel like that's such a rarity on the right these days. 362 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: There's so many people who it's just we're all like 363 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: hamsters hitting the pedal. Right, it's like the same, Oh, 364 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: this is what you know, this is the talking point, 365 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 1: this is the talking point. You know, you're you're with 366 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 1: the movement, but you're not always aligned specifically with every 367 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 1: individual part of it. And I find it interesting. And 368 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: also we'll talk about some of the lifestyle and you know, 369 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: life philosophy, I think is a better way of putting 370 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: a life philosophy stuff that you get into so I 371 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,919 Speaker 1: think that's really important for the right and just for 372 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: all of us. But I believe I believe it. Joe Biden. 373 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: You know, we spent a lot of time going haha, 374 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: he's Seenisle and whatever. And look I do some of 375 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 1: that too. I mean, you know, poking fun is poking fun. Um. 376 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be formidable in reelection. And 377 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: I think people that believe that this is going to 378 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: be you know, that Trump, let's say it is Trump, 379 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: that Trump comes back and he's the nominee and it's 380 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 1: going to be a walk in the park for him, 381 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: I think that's delusional. And I think we only need 382 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: to be very honest that this is going to be 383 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: a dog fight zero percent Trump wins in twenty two 384 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: against I mean, there's I'll take, you know, I want 385 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: to make best. I'll talk about, you know what kind 386 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: of as they want to set, because that'll be the 387 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: easiest money that I ever make in my life. No desants, 388 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: barely de sants. It would be a close call. But 389 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: because there are issues with like I argue, an example, 390 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: we don't need to go to the moon is made 391 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: of green cheese or the infamous there was a server 392 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: I mean you I'm sure you remember as a former 393 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: CIA analysts and people were saying there was a server 394 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 1: shootout involving the CIA in Germany for votes in twenty twenty. 395 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, yeah, we have a 396 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: we have a real problem here and I don't know 397 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: where're going to do about it. But they can't I mean, 398 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: they can't run ballots more than once. You know, it's 399 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: not hard to say, oh, we have a you know, 400 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 1: we're running the ballots and you know that there's a 401 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: certain district that's going to be heavily favorite of Viden. 402 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: You can't change it at the grand near level, but 403 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: you can say I'll run this one a couple of times. 404 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: There's there's there's nothing really stopping that. That's why you 405 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: need more poll watchers, which was a big issue in 406 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the whole of the pipers in Georgia and 407 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: then suddenly the Republican poll watchers were sent away and 408 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 1: there was no real solution for that. So there's a 409 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: lot of things that twenty twenty that aren't gonna go away, 410 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: and it's gonna intensify, And that's why you need Rohn 411 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: to Santaz, who's gonna say, hey, Buck, what do you think? 412 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: What do you think about twenty twenty? And you're gonna say, well, 413 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: there was no CIA shootout to steal the server. You know, 414 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: the moon is not made of green cheese. But yeah, 415 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: there are people doing double ballots. There are our pull watchers, 416 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: our poll watchers were kicked out. That's gonna come up again. 417 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: There is ballot harvesting. That's going to be a big problem. 418 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: They're going to these massive apartment complexes and maybe all 419 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 1: folks homes. So we need to start looking at addresses 420 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,960 Speaker 1: because they're filling out the ballots for senile people. That 421 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: a lot of that was shown in twenty twenty. Right, 422 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: Oh here's a oh yet one hundred and fifty votes 423 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 1: out of here and it turns out as a senior 424 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: living center. Right, So there's a lot And because elections 425 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: are so close, everything like that really does matter, and 426 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: you need someone who's going to focus on that. Well, 427 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: this is the part of it that I also got 428 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: very frustrated after twenty twenty because anybody who wants to 429 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: talk about how we can find when there's illegal ballot harving, 430 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: ballot harvesting, find that stop that. Anybody wants to talk 431 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: about mail in ballot campaigns for Republicans, how we need 432 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: to match fight fire with fire, and say, look at Florida, 433 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: look at Rhndissantis just did in his reelection. Mail in 434 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: ballots can be done. It can be done safely and securely, 435 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: but you need to get the stuff set up. I'm 436 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: all about that. And looking for fraud and setting up 437 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: systems to catch fraud, I'm all about that too. But 438 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: whenever I say to them, at the end of the day, 439 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: it's scoreboard and if they put up the points and 440 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: we can't prove that they cheated, thinking they cheated is 441 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,439 Speaker 1: one thing. Fine, Yeah, sure I think they cheated, but 442 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 1: I think they always cheat. If we can't prove it, 443 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: we lose. And this is just where we come to. 444 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I had people in the months after the election. 445 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: I'd be like, and I don't mean when Trump is 446 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: still in office. I'm talking about you know, let's say 447 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: April of twenty twenty one. I'd say, oh, you know, 448 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: President Biden, and I'd be at live events. They say, 449 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: don't call him that, he's not the president, and I'm 450 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: looking at him like, guys, you know he is the president. 451 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: You can say, he cheated, and it sucks and I 452 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 1: wish it weren't the case, but like you know, we 453 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: got we gotta push through this a little bit. And 454 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: I just worry that the thinking of the twenty twenty 455 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: obsession is going to be a big problem for us 456 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. And I try to tell Joe 457 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: biden't look, yes, everything you say about him, He's a clown. 458 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: His son is a disaster. They're criminals, They pedal influenced. 459 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: I mean, no one criticizes him and sees it I 460 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: think more clearly than I do. I mean, other people 461 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: see it the same way. But Mike, he's gonna get 462 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 1: forty nine percent of the vote, right, I mean that's 463 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: where we are. And I just need everybody on the 464 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: right to understand that because I see these polls. Oh, 465 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: people think Biden shouldn't run again. Guess what if he 466 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: runs again, those people who are Democrats are going to 467 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: vote for him without a second thought. We just had 468 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: an election. That's why I tell people too. People send 469 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: me polls here and there, and I go, we just 470 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: had a midterm, brother, Why are we talking about polls 471 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: a few months after a midterm? Yeah? Right, that's how 472 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: I feel about polls. This sixty one percent of the 473 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 1: country says that it's going to the wrong direction. Great, 474 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 1: we had an election and sixty one percent of the 475 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: electorate didn't vote Republican. Right, we didn't have that slave 476 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: that we thought. It was all very close, hotly contested elections. 477 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: Um Bobert almost sawst hearsy. It was. It was brutal, 478 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: and again without the Santest and Zelden, it very well 479 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: may have been a narrow majority under Nancy Pelosi for 480 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: another two years. I don't know the pull. And this 481 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: is again my biggest problem with the right, and probably 482 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 1: this spoils into my overall life philosophy. We if you 483 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: have an audience, you have to be a leader, and 484 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: you have to lead your people in the right direction. 485 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: You do not pander to their delusions because you want 486 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: another click, you want another retweet or whatever. I've never 487 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 1: pander to everything I've said, even the things which are 488 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,120 Speaker 1: even the crazy things I've said, are aging better than 489 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: maybe I thought. It's because I believe it, and I 490 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: want to steer my people in the right direction and 491 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: telling telling our people, oh, yeah, sixty one percent Biden 492 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: wrong direct, I say, shake them up. Did you not 493 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: pay attention to what has happened? Two hundred and twenty 494 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: two seats, And it turns out Sam knows we're gonna 495 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: just plan on losing that one. So you need to 496 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: just be thinking already, how are you getting get bobert reelected? 497 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: She double recounts, right, barely. That's how close everything is 498 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: going to be. Every vote counts Orange County, there's still 499 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: one seat shy of where it was before the ballot 500 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: harvesting of twenty eighteen. So even though the California GOP 501 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: has gained ground and retook a bunch of the seats 502 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,959 Speaker 1: that were wrongfully taken in twenty eighteen, there's still sheets 503 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: a seat shot. I was thinking of sheets. I was 504 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: thinking of the guys a dreams sheets actually, But it's 505 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: the electoral seats. And that's what we have to do, 506 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: is you shake our people up, you guys. You need 507 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: to focus on the right issues. I think that's that's essential. 508 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: M I want to ask a question. We'll hold because 509 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: I have to have to give a word to our 510 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: sponsor for a second, Mike, but when come back, I 511 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: want you to address this.

That's t the number two t 540 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: dot org. All right, Mike Cernovich controversial? Why do they 541 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,199 Speaker 1: come after you so hard? Man? Well? What do you 542 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: do to upset the apparatus so much? Yeah? I often 543 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: say I'm probably the most widely read person that people 544 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: won't admit that they read because I'll say something no 545 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: one else had ever said, and then all of a 546 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: sudden that's circulating widely and largely. The reason I'm controversial 547 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: or seeing that way is in twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen, 548 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: I viewed the presidency as an existential crisis, and stopping 549 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton was the most important thing that I could 550 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 1: have ever possibly have done with my life and I 551 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: didn't have kids. I honestly didn't care if that election 552 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: killed me. I didn't where I was at the time, 553 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: we would have been in World War three with Syria 554 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: and Hillary Clinton one. So as much as I you know, 555 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: Trump this all the criticism is buffered by the fact 556 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: that we prevented World War three by working to elect Trump, 557 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: and everyone should feel good about that for humanity. It 558 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,879 Speaker 1: was one of the greatest gifts that we could have 559 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 1: given humanity in our lives, and Trump deserves all the 560 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: credit for that. But if twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, I 561 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: was pretty mean, if you were a you know, conservative, 562 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: was the term like, we've we fought viciously and we weren't. 563 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: We weren't nice to people. So I made a lot 564 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: of enemies, which, as you know, that's not a good 565 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: way to be an influencer or a media personality. It's 566 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: not good. Like lately, I think Jordan Peterson has been 567 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: doing things to sabotage the right. Who's he going to 568 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: criticize Jordan Peterson? Accept me. Nobody can say that I'm wrong, right, 569 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: everybody in my notification is when I said, well, wait, 570 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: why is Jordan Peterson calling out Christian rufo Into Santez 571 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: for trying to reform higher education when Jordan's whole brand 572 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: is the far left. Is it going too far? Well, okay, so, 573 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 1: but legislative action is happening, and now you suddenly have 574 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 1: a problem. No one else but me is gonna say that, 575 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: because well, one then you're gonna get You're not gonna 576 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 1: be on the podcast circle. You know, I'm I'm persona 577 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: on Garrata because Jordan Peterson is a you know, perfect saint. 578 00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: But you notice, if you ever read the replies, nobody 579 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: says cert of it's you're factually incorrect. They go, oh, 580 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: you're jealous, his book sells more than you, blah blah blah. 581 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: Which is you know, and anybody who knows can attest. 582 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to ever get on anyone's podcast. I 583 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 1: always say, find an email on me trying to trying 584 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: to be on someone's podcast, right, that's so far from 585 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: where I don't want to do. But there's no one 586 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: who if I think you're steering the right in a 587 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: bad direction or the country in a bad direction, I 588 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: don't care how popular you are. I don't care if 589 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: you have this halo effect on you. So I'll criticize 590 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: Trump and Jordan Peterson the same tweet, and then that 591 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 1: that then I'm controversial. Now Osernovich is at it again 592 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 1: rather than just say okay, well, but is he actually 593 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: correct though? Is this this is a correct point. So 594 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: a live of it is vibe and aura because I 595 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: got I mean, I go hard. That's why I don't 596 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: play um. I don't ask for sympathy or pity party 597 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: because I do go hard and people people go hard 598 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: back to me. But that's more where you know, why 599 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,959 Speaker 1: people see me as controversial, because yeah, I do go 600 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: I do go hard. If I think you're you're up 601 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: to something that's steering the right wing in a wrong direction, 602 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna come at you in a way that 603 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: other people won't. Speaking of the Jordan Peterson, I mean 604 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: one thing that I do think is getting a lot 605 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 1: more attention. That's Jordan Peterson. And then more recently there's 606 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: been um Andrew Tate, who, as I speak to you, 607 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: is still in prison. They have leveled all these allegations 608 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: against him. He's an American citizen who has not been 609 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: afforded time before a judge. They're just holding him. He 610 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: says he's innocent. The charges are are very serious. But 611 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 1: we know that he was speaking, particularly in the last 612 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: six months or so, a lot about what it means 613 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 1: to be a man, what young men should hear. And 614 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 1: people say, oh, we said all these terrible things the past. 615 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: I say, oh, well, that may well be true, but 616 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: there is still a need, regardless of any individual, regardless 617 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: of any influencer, to look at the all out assault 618 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: on masculinity and this is a real thing. We're all 619 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: aware of it that is underway. Toxic masculinity as a 620 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: term is something that kids are learning in school and 621 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: being taught that they should be aware of. Do you 622 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: think the right is doing is beginning to do enough? 623 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: I guess say, hey, you know, have we The term woke, 624 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: you know is whenever I say have we awoke in 625 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm want to be like, oh, well, not wokeness, but 626 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 1: are we waking up to the all out assault on 627 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 1: masculinity and gender as part of the leftist program as 628 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:06,440 Speaker 1: something that is an intentional part of strategy. That realization 629 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: m was part of why Trump won in twenty sixteen, 630 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: because he was seen as someone who really kind of 631 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 1: understood that that's why I think that Trump's most recent 632 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 1: nasty comments about the Santaest is just going to fail. Right, Oh, 633 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: here's the Santist at a graduation party. And they're like, oh, okay, 634 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: so here's a young de Santest and doing a normal thing. 635 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 1: And now so now they're trying to flip that, which 636 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,520 Speaker 1: is what I by the way, I have no I 637 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: have no tolerance for the Oh he was a twenty 638 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: three year old teacher who posed in a photo with 639 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: some of his students and like, maybe one of them 640 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: had a beer. Let's let's charge it with some let's 641 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: let's allege or insinuate some kind of sexual impropriety. That 642 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: is that is bleeping garbage to do, and everybody knows it. Yeah, 643 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: and that was the graduation party, so you know, as 644 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: you know now it's a different era. But yeah, you go, oh, 645 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 1: that's our high school teacher come to a graduation party. 646 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: That wasn't a weird thing. And if you actually because 647 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: the New York Times reported all of this and they 648 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,080 Speaker 1: said he didn't try anything, He didn't do anything. He 649 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: just showed up to a graduation party. The kids are like, oh, hey, 650 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: how you doing, How you doing, teacher? And he's like 651 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: hi and walks away. And then the New York Times, 652 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,239 Speaker 1: the New York Times couldn't even turn that into anything right. 653 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: So if you go back and read it, when they 654 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 1: tried that, everybody said, oh, yeah, nothing weird happened. Oh 655 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: but in hindsight, he shouldn't have done it, right, that's 656 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 1: where they lend it to. So that just shows that 657 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: people playing into that narrative. They're playing into the left 658 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: wing narrative, which is that Okay, so if you're a 659 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: twenty three year old or twenty two to twenty four 660 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: year old man and you're with an adult woman just 661 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 1: in the room, you're a groomer. Now where did that 662 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: come from? That's left wing orthodoxy right there. So that's 663 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: where the people have again lost a plot. That's how 664 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna work. But that shows how deep the memes 665 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: are now when people on the right don't realize, oh, yeah, 666 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: I'm actually being played, or for example, the the Andrew 667 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 1: Tate thing, now people are if you go read those articles, boy, 668 00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: the headlines don't match what's in the story. The headline 669 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: is the latest BBC one I read was oh, and 670 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:15,360 Speaker 1: I'm in trouble for the Andrew Tait thing too, because 671 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 1: we've had cigars together too. So that's another reason I'm controversial. 672 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 1: So I've been embroiled in scandal after scandal where that 673 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: because I've smoked cigars with Andrew Tate. I have to 674 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 1: you know, I have to either disavow him and convict him, 675 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,799 Speaker 1: or I'm just like, wait a minute, why don't you 676 00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: read the articles? The latest BBC article was a woman 677 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: who said that, oh, yeah, I did cam and he 678 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,400 Speaker 1: gave me half the money, but I felt like he 679 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,240 Speaker 1: manipulated me. Oh and she had done sex work before. 680 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,279 Speaker 1: And then she left and they broke up. Right, So 681 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: the headline is Andrew Tate abusive boyfriend, manipulator and I go, okay, well, 682 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: maybe this is finally, maybe they have something finally, And 683 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 1: then you read it and I go, wait a minute. 684 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: So he had a relationship with a sex worker. He 685 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 1: tried to get into camp, she didn't want to. Eventually 686 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: she did. He split the money with their fifty fifty. 687 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: She decided their relationship was toxic. That goes both ways. 688 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,600 Speaker 1: Relationships with men and women are both toxic. That happens 689 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,080 Speaker 1: regardless of gender. And then she broke up with them 690 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 1: and left it's like, okay, but we're being told that 691 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: the Tape Brothers are the real life Taken movie. That's 692 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,800 Speaker 1: the narrative. The narrative is they're kidnapping people. The narrative 693 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: isn't that they're bad Boyfriend's human traffick. Human trafficking is 694 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: the allegation they're using human trafficking, which is which is 695 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 1: a heinous crime, right something people should go to prison 696 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 1: for decades for Haine's crime. I mean to the human 697 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 1: trafficking allegation. I've also read in the just in the 698 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,279 Speaker 1: stories that there are people that are were allegedly human 699 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,080 Speaker 1: trafficked who are coming and going on video as they 700 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,920 Speaker 1: please with cell phones and buying designer handbags. So right, 701 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,200 Speaker 1: if if that's if that's human trafficking, I know, I 702 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: do think you start to get to well, it is 703 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: the coercive Is it just the psychological brainwashing creates the 704 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,799 Speaker 1: coercive force? But how do you measure that? Yes, and 705 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 1: we need to talk about that because that's the latest. 706 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: That's the latest ploy the late because two of these 707 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: two of the women who are free and walking around, 708 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: they're the victims. And the Ukrainian judge said, oh, you've 709 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: been brainwashed by the man. That's all left wing. So 710 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: the left wing now, that's why I was so disgusted 711 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 1: by Trump's tweet referring to the santests. And that is grooming. 712 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,839 Speaker 1: Oh so we're the left now. And if you're an 713 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: adult man with a woman who was eighteen or older, 714 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: you are now a groomer. Groomors what happens to children, right, 715 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: Grooming is at something that you do not I personally, 716 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,720 Speaker 1: if I'm twenty four and I'm a high school teacher 717 00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: at that era, you just go to a graduation party 718 00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:49,920 Speaker 1: because you don't think anything of it, because you're actually 719 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: not a scumbag. Right, If you're a scumbag, you wouldn't say, like, oh, 720 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: take a picture of me because I want I want 721 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: proof that I gave your graduation. It'd be the opposite. 722 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 1: But that is left ing orthodoxy is they're going back now. 723 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: And you can see this in a lot of the 724 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: cases and the theory. The theory is that if you're 725 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: you're so man, your man brain is so powerful, and 726 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: then by extension, the female brain is so manipulable that 727 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,880 Speaker 1: men are now emotionally manipulating women into doing things the 728 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,200 Speaker 1: woman doesn't want to do and even if she doesn't leave, 729 00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 1: and in fact, by not leaving, that proves your man 730 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: brain is so strong that you're able to exercise his 731 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: mind control over you know, fully formed adult women. That's 732 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: where it is. Because yeah, these two women said they 733 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: were on video and they're like, oh yeah, you know Andrew, 734 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: he was nice, we love him and everything. And I 735 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:48,400 Speaker 1: thought to myself, well, you could find How would I 736 00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,600 Speaker 1: know this isn't just two random Romanian women? How do 737 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,439 Speaker 1: I know these are the two women in the court case? 738 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: Because for me, I feel like I have a duty 739 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,960 Speaker 1: to present if the Taps are being railroaded, I have 740 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,400 Speaker 1: a duty to say something. So I saw that video 741 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,359 Speaker 1: and I even tweeted, how could I know these women 742 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:07,200 Speaker 1: are really his girlfriends? Right? How do you know? And 743 00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: then you read the court Oh yeah, as it turns 744 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: out they are. They told the judge we don't want 745 00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 1: anything to do with this, and the judge said, too bad. 746 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: I didn't realize by the way, you were so up 747 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,840 Speaker 1: on this story. Do you believe the Tates are being railroaded? Well, 748 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,440 Speaker 1: I certainly believe based on what I've seen that the 749 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:28,720 Speaker 1: evidence is not matching the allegations and the media, because 750 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 1: if you're telling you there are six victims and two 751 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: of them have said we're not, and you're saying we 752 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: don't care. If they say they're not, they still are, 753 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: then that means that a lot of pressure has been applied, 754 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: probably to the other four. I did see this, by 755 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: the way, and one of the reports there were women 756 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: who have come forward who are considered to be some 757 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 1: of the human trafficking victims, who have told the court 758 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: and this is on record or told the authorities. I 759 00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: should say, police, that's laughable. We meaning these two women, 760 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 1: I think there are six that we were absolutely not 761 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 1: human traffic human trafficking victims. That is reported right now, right, 762 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:11,560 Speaker 1: so we know for a fact two of six say 763 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,919 Speaker 1: we're not, and we know the judge said we don't 764 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: care you are. So what's they say about the other four? 765 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,879 Speaker 1: Were they leaned on, were they pressured? Were they real 766 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,839 Speaker 1: last why? I would like to see evidence. So then 767 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,360 Speaker 1: the BBC goes, oh, we met one of the taps 768 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: old girlfriends and he's a terrible, terrible guy. And then 769 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: I go, okay, well, let's read the article and that's 770 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: the article I just mentioned. Do you think the Biden 771 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 1: administration is putting pressure on Romania in this regard? Is 772 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 1: that just too far fetched? People have reached out to 773 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,000 Speaker 1: me to say they think that that is an element here. 774 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: If you believe the Tates are being railroaded, and we 775 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: need to say that's an if do would you believe 776 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration may have a hand in that. 777 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 1: I think that it's more subtle than that. I think 778 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: that just like the DNC doesn't have to tell Twitter 779 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: to take things down, take down the FBI does. I 780 00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: think with the Taits, you had guys who were trying 781 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 1: to be basically tweet out rap lyrics. Right whenever people go, oh, 782 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: here's this horrible video Andrew take I say, you know what, 783 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: if you're like me and you want to band pornography 784 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: and you don't believe rap music should be listened to 785 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 1: because you think you're hypnotizing yourself to negative lyrics. If 786 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: you want to band, I don't know what you heard 787 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: about me, but I'm a pimp from the radio, then 788 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: I'm really interested in what you have to say about 789 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 1: offensive videos. So we're gonna ban Snoop Dogg the pimp. 790 00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 1: We're gonna be in all that rap music that talks 791 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: about pimping. Right, Oh no, no, you don't want to 792 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,000 Speaker 1: do that. Oh you don't want to be in pornography. Oh, 793 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: less interesting. So you participate in pornography or watch it. 794 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,360 Speaker 1: But then if a man is involved in the production, 795 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:51,799 Speaker 1: now he's a groomer trafficker. Even if the woman said 796 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: you willingly did it, and if you talk like a rapper, 797 00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,480 Speaker 1: then that has to be taken is true, But rap music, 798 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,440 Speaker 1: you see, there's no coherence to it. So what I 799 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 1: think happen is pretty simple. You are the tates. You 800 00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: want to get known, You make exaggerated claims, and then 801 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: you start saying that you're bribing government officials that you're 802 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 1: not really bribing. What do you think is going to happen? Right? 803 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 1: That falls into the category of what do you think 804 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:25,479 Speaker 1: is going to happen? You're embarrassing people, You're embarrassing powerful people. 805 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: I'll tell you that there are people on the right 806 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: who when Tate was talking about how the corruption works 807 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: in his favor, and this just I draw on my 808 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: background in the CIA and learning a lot about other governments, 809 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: which is the most fascinating part of being in the CIA, 810 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,600 Speaker 1: because obviously we got a lot of info. You know, 811 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,399 Speaker 1: other government. We do have more sophisticated technology. We do 812 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: get a view that they don't want us to have, obviously. 813 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 1: And the one thing that will get you in trouble 814 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 1: in a corrupt country is bragging about the corruption in 815 00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: that country that you say is in your favor. That's like, 816 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 1: it's like the first rule of fight club is never 817 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,879 Speaker 1: talking about fight club. You're in a corrupt country, Eastern Europe, 818 00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,120 Speaker 1: anywhere else in the world, and it's working out for you, 819 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: It's going to stop working out for you the moment 820 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: that you say, oh, yeah, the corruption here benefits me. 821 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,840 Speaker 1: I think. I think the tates that's a that's a 822 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 1: lesson from this process, irrespective of everything else, you know, 823 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,959 Speaker 1: the whether they're pressure being brought to bear to bring 824 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,960 Speaker 1: these charges, etc. Whether they're guilty or not, which I 825 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: don't know and I don't profess to know, um, but 826 00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 1: I do think that you don't want to talk about 827 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,360 Speaker 1: corruption in a corrupt country if you're if you're planning 828 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,000 Speaker 1: on staying there right, if you're really doing it too, 829 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,360 Speaker 1: which makes me believe that they it was just I 830 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,520 Speaker 1: think it was just all an act. I thought they're 831 00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,120 Speaker 1: I think they're trying to be real life rappers. They were, 832 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: they were mimicking what rappers say, and that because if 833 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 1: you're really bribing people and bragging about it, then I 834 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,399 Speaker 1: have to reconsider my view of you, right, And there's 835 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 1: nothing about the Tates then indicates that they're not, that 836 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: they're low IQ. Right. You can say they're evil, you 837 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 1: can say you can say whatever, that's a moral judgment. 838 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,439 Speaker 1: You can say it they're evil, but nobody has ever 839 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,319 Speaker 1: said they're not. I don't know Tristan really, but I 840 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: mean I've just from what I've seen in interviews with Andrew, 841 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,760 Speaker 1: he's a he's clearly a high IQ individual like that, 842 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: that is obvious. Right, So if you're high IQ, you're 843 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 1: bribing government officials, would brag about bribing government officials, right, 844 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 1: That's kind of how I see it. And then of 845 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: course people who don't like the Tastes have to wrestle 846 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,800 Speaker 1: with the corruption issue, namely that the Tastes were arrested 847 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 1: in March twenty twenty, they were released the next day 848 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,360 Speaker 1: because apparently video evidence cleared them. Then they get re 849 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: arrested in December. Okay, so was Ukraine corrupted March when 850 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,399 Speaker 1: they let them go are they corrupt? Now? Why aren't 851 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,000 Speaker 1: they being tried? Why are they being held? You know, 852 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: because Ukraine has this weird system where you can be 853 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:50,080 Speaker 1: charged but not really tried. Is this literal m Yeah, Romania. 854 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 1: They're in Romania and they can be held. I think 855 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 1: you can be held. I read that you can be 856 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 1: held for up to a year without actually having a trial. 857 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,120 Speaker 1: A year I mean now J six J six defendants 858 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 1: can apparently in DC be held for about eighteen months 859 00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: in solitary for in some cases non violent crimes. So 860 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,359 Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna poke it. Romaaning on this would 861 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,319 Speaker 1: and say, oh my god, oh my god. But as 862 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,560 Speaker 1: we know, if you get on the wrong side of 863 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: the deep state in this country, that can happen to you. 864 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 1: But I wanted to ask you though on a more 865 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,200 Speaker 1: on a more positive and constructive note, four young men, 866 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,439 Speaker 1: because one thing, one thing that I can tell does 867 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:32,279 Speaker 1: really rattle the left is when young men have this 868 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 1: moment of recognition that the left wants them to be miserable, unhappy, weak, controlled, 869 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, effectively, you know, low T low IQ, 870 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 1: do what you're told, Triple Masks, get your seventh booster shot, 871 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,319 Speaker 1: and you know, sit there, call yourself a male feminist. 872 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: Don't excel, don't exceed, don't you know, suppress all your 873 00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 1: masculine urges. And the right actually has people, by the way, 874 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,359 Speaker 1: like you and others who are saying, no, actually being 875 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 1: a man is what you are meant to do, and 876 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,080 Speaker 1: that that inspires I think young men. I think there's 877 00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:12,360 Speaker 1: something important there. Well, that's where I had to thread 878 00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: the needle that I find interesting too about the Tate 879 00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:20,279 Speaker 1: thing because the Tates were giving a message of that 880 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: I don't even agree with, which is, oh, you need 881 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: a car, need the watches, you need the swag. And 882 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 1: I realized they were just doing that for marketing. So 883 00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,879 Speaker 1: that's why I think the Tate thing is such an 884 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:33,800 Speaker 1: interesting phenomena, because a right wing critique of the Tates 885 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 1: would be, well, if you're chasing watches and cars, you're 886 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:41,719 Speaker 1: actually chasing left wing secular hedonism, right, You're not You're 887 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: not teaching. And I realized it takes it more. And 888 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have the tape people. Matt. I love this 889 00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,399 Speaker 1: because I'm gonna have the Tate haters man, because they're 890 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 1: gonna say I defended him, and I'm gonna have the 891 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,600 Speaker 1: tape super fans mad because they're saying that I'm like 892 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,080 Speaker 1: somehow attacking them, right, But the way I look at 893 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:59,120 Speaker 1: it is that we'd I You know, you don't ever 894 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,799 Speaker 1: see me fronted, never see me flexing. You don't want 895 00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,520 Speaker 1: to do that which you want to teach young men, 896 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:07,640 Speaker 1: Find your purpose, find your mission. You're allowed to have one. 897 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,359 Speaker 1: You don't have to live for women, because too much 898 00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:15,040 Speaker 1: of a conservative Christian movement, unfortunately, is, oh, you're a man, 899 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,320 Speaker 1: you know your job is to be like a pack mule, 900 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: loads yourself up and well where it's not even necessarily biblical, right, 901 00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,600 Speaker 1: So where are you even getting at the Bible. So 902 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 1: there's a there's a third way, which is masculinity is 903 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 1: about finding your mission and finding your purpose, waking up 904 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: and trying to accomplish something right, trying to fight with 905 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: the dragons, trying to wrestle with depression, trying to have 906 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,759 Speaker 1: some vibe right, some aura. So much of that, so 907 00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:45,879 Speaker 1: much of it is a feeling. And that's what men 908 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,640 Speaker 1: not only need to be told, but that's what people 909 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 1: like us have to try to model in our own way. 910 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:52,919 Speaker 1: But to say, hey, look, man, you're gonna get beat 911 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: up people are gonna say stuff about you, this nasty. 912 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: I've been attacked over a lines of blue and tape. 913 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:03,520 Speaker 1: Imagine the same three weeks, you're attacked for allegedly the 914 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,600 Speaker 1: human trafficking thing, and then allegedly for knowing somebody who 915 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,279 Speaker 1: is allegedly maybe has an alternative narrative on her own 916 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,359 Speaker 1: traffing story. Right, and but you just but that's where 917 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:14,759 Speaker 1: you just as a man, you just say, man, this 918 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 1: is part of life. Right, How lucky it is that 919 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,359 Speaker 1: we get to do this all day and we get 920 00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: to take these attacks. Imagine how our lives could have 921 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,560 Speaker 1: ended up so differently or so much less interesting. I 922 00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,799 Speaker 1: do think that's important. I do think that the same 923 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,400 Speaker 1: way that if you believe in you know, the the 924 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:33,680 Speaker 1: duality that is that essential to our existence. Right, if 925 00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:36,319 Speaker 1: you believe in heaven, you believe in hell. If you 926 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: believe in good, you believe in evil. With those with 927 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 1: the basic framework for understanding our day to day lives 928 00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 1: in place or our existence, I should say, you're going 929 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 1: to piss some people off because if there are if 930 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,280 Speaker 1: there's evil in the world, there are people doing evil, 931 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: and if you're going to do something about it, you're 932 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,920 Speaker 1: going to upset those who are wrong. You're going to 933 00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: upset those who are making the world a worst place. 934 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 1: So while you know I don't go out there looking 935 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,879 Speaker 1: to stick my thumb in the eye of people, there 936 00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:10,840 Speaker 1: are people whose hatred or disdain or whatever is a 937 00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,919 Speaker 1: badge of honor. And I do feel that way right 938 00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:17,279 Speaker 1: And you know you're smiling. You do enjoy poking your finger. 939 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,680 Speaker 1: It's okay to admit that. Okay, Okay, that's true, Okay 940 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,400 Speaker 1: to tell It's okay to tell men you know what. 941 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 1: Conflict is good, but it needs to be conflict for 942 00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,799 Speaker 1: the right cause. Rights. It's okay to have a little 943 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: bit of indignation if it's righteous INDI Nation. It's not 944 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,920 Speaker 1: okay to be a Karen. It's not okay to be 945 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: crying over nonsense. It's not okay to hate women or 946 00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: to say because you have some bad dating experiences at all, 947 00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:42,760 Speaker 1: women are like that or is And it's not okay 948 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,480 Speaker 1: to just be a pack mule to let get walked on. Either. 949 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,160 Speaker 1: Conflict is okay, but you need to again find that 950 00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,400 Speaker 1: purpose within yourself and then find out that it's a 951 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:54,800 Speaker 1: righteous cause, and then conflict is good and it's necessary. 952 00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,799 Speaker 1: And I think it's very healthy and it's very masculine. 953 00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: One thing I want to ask you about. You know, 954 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,240 Speaker 1: there's this trend I'm sure you've seen of women shaming 955 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,520 Speaker 1: men for allegedly looking at them in the gym, right 956 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:09,920 Speaker 1: if you've seen this, and this has got a lot 957 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: of attention recently. There's a lot of things I would 958 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,040 Speaker 1: say by this. I mean, I go to a gym 959 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 1: down here in Florida where I've never experienced this before 960 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,520 Speaker 1: in New York City, but there are a lot of 961 00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:22,560 Speaker 1: women in the gym who are you know. I just 962 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:25,319 Speaker 1: got married recently too, so I've got got the blinder song. 963 00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,440 Speaker 1: But there are a lot of women in the gym 964 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,240 Speaker 1: who are influencers. Some of them are known to other 965 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 1: Jim staffers, for example, as having very lucrative only fans careers, 966 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 1: things like that, and so that's very common here in 967 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:45,799 Speaker 1: South Florida at certain gyms. You're just gonna look at 968 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,800 Speaker 1: this where for people look a certain way, they have 969 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 1: to spend a certain amount of time at the gym. 970 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:53,640 Speaker 1: And I get all that, but I worry that women 971 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: are are not being given good messages and a variety 972 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:02,200 Speaker 1: of ways about their beauty and that it is now 973 00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: being it is now thought of more than ever as 974 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:09,560 Speaker 1: a commodity, meaning the monetizeable, that your sexuality and your 975 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 1: beauty as a woman is a monetizeable asset first and 976 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 1: foremost beyond anything else instead of something so yes, of course, 977 00:50:15,640 --> 00:50:17,759 Speaker 1: be charity. You know you have a lovely wife. I 978 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: have a lovely wife. I would say, you know, you 979 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,359 Speaker 1: can trust a guy with a lovely wife. But that's 980 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,279 Speaker 1: the point is actually to appreciate beauty and to also 981 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:28,759 Speaker 1: to see it for what it is. And for a 982 00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:32,080 Speaker 1: lot of these women, I think to find a great 983 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you know we're supposed to say life partner, 984 00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: but husband, I mean to find somebody to build a 985 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,359 Speaker 1: life with. And attraction is important in all this. And 986 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,520 Speaker 1: I just think that now you have a lot of 987 00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,279 Speaker 1: these women who won are very insecure, even though they're 988 00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,080 Speaker 1: very good looking, because there's a hyper focus on it 989 00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,839 Speaker 1: because of social media. And two it's just like an 990 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,160 Speaker 1: ATM machine now and they wait until they're forty and 991 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 1: then they turn around they're like, well, I'm so beautiful 992 00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:02,200 Speaker 1: now I want my husband gets a lot harder, Well, 993 00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 1: it gets yeah, it gets a lot harder for men too, 994 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 1: And that's something that I've noticed that when you watch videos. 995 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,239 Speaker 1: One actually good TikTok trend is day go and ask 996 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:12,960 Speaker 1: older people, oh, how old are you and they'll say, 997 00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,799 Speaker 1: I'm sixty five. What's sixty five feel like? And one 998 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 1: of the themes is that you see the world the 999 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,680 Speaker 1: same way, but you're old now, right, And if you're 1000 00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,319 Speaker 1: a man, you usually have more self awareness and realize, Okay, 1001 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm an old old guy now, And for 1002 00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:30,239 Speaker 1: oftentimes the women, it's harder to make that transition, which 1003 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,480 Speaker 1: is in your mind, like you know, you're forty one, 1004 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm forty five, and our minds were still like twenty five, right, 1005 00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,279 Speaker 1: And that's actually how men get injured doing things because 1006 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, I no, no. My wife asked me 1007 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: earlier to climb a tree and I was like, I'm 1008 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: not going to climb that tree. She goes, well, I 1009 00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 1: go because if I fall down, I'm gonna hurt man. 1010 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: You know if I were, we're still there. Yeah, keep going. Yeah, 1011 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: And so the world looks at you differently and a 1012 00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,759 Speaker 1: lot of people have to accept that. But as to 1013 00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:04,600 Speaker 1: h the gem thing, it's like a lingerat show Man. 1014 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:08,160 Speaker 1: Sometimes it really is ridiculous. One gem I going. I 1015 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:12,200 Speaker 1: started going on a different hour because I don't I 1016 00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,719 Speaker 1: don't want to just have those curient thoughts like I 1017 00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,880 Speaker 1: don't watch pornography. I try to avoid the IG. I 1018 00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,319 Speaker 1: changed my algorithm so I don't see you know, all 1019 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. Go ahead, No, no, no no, I 1020 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,200 Speaker 1: didn't want to interrupt you. I just I think this 1021 00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:31,120 Speaker 1: is so important for men while while while promoting masculinity. 1022 00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,319 Speaker 1: And look, I'm the first to admit I drank too 1023 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,560 Speaker 1: much in my twenties. I should have worked out more. 1024 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: I should have gotten more sleep, you know, twenties in 1025 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:42,400 Speaker 1: into my thirties. I you know that there were some 1026 00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,160 Speaker 1: things that I would change definitely about my behavior. I 1027 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,680 Speaker 1: will say I've actually never said this before on radio 1028 00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 1: or on podcasts, but I made the decision, maybe it 1029 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: was about fifteen years ago, to just just no pornography, 1030 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,920 Speaker 1: just like not you know, just no pornography, because I 1031 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:03,120 Speaker 1: really started to feel like there was a desensitization that 1032 00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,759 Speaker 1: occurs from it where you can appreciate, you know, just 1033 00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:10,240 Speaker 1: everyday female beauty. And I think that it really does 1034 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,040 Speaker 1: damaging things to the male mind. Um if especially if 1035 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,400 Speaker 1: you make it a habit of looking at at pornography. 1036 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:18,200 Speaker 1: And I still feel like to this day when you 1037 00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:20,560 Speaker 1: say that, people think, oh, are you like, are you 1038 00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,400 Speaker 1: a Puritan? Do you wear like the shoes with the 1039 00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 1: little buckles on them? Whatever? It's like, But I appeared 1040 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,399 Speaker 1: in at all. I'man sitting here talking about like hot 1041 00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:31,080 Speaker 1: chicks in the gym. But but I do think that 1042 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,160 Speaker 1: every you know that that balance and context and and 1043 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: understanding habits in which are habituated to as a man 1044 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:42,640 Speaker 1: is really important. And it's the it's the grating too, 1045 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,920 Speaker 1: I think. So for me, I went through large phases 1046 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,360 Speaker 1: where I didn't I didn't watch it, and then I 1047 00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,840 Speaker 1: would get in a bad phase and then I wouldn't 1048 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,319 Speaker 1: watch it, and then I just gave it up once 1049 00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: and for all because I just not to be too crude, 1050 00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,840 Speaker 1: but I just I think it's undignified to turn on 1051 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,880 Speaker 1: a laptop and get moisture. It's just disgusting. You're like, 1052 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: this is just like there there's if there's a night 1053 00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,720 Speaker 1: and I'm eating a bag of chips on the couch, 1054 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,400 Speaker 1: I'm just like, you're a disgusting person, you know, like, 1055 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 1: who are you like? And I get up and you know, 1056 00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:14,719 Speaker 1: there's just the idea that if you're a man, you 1057 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,719 Speaker 1: should have some kind of basic level and dignity and 1058 00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, laying around with pringles in your face. It's 1059 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:23,080 Speaker 1: just a gross way to live. And the same thing too, 1060 00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: is up gonna fire up the old laptop. That's gross. Man, 1061 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:28,200 Speaker 1: you don't want to live like that, right, You are 1062 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,040 Speaker 1: capable of so much more as a man, How do you? Totally, 1063 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, and I think that people 1064 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,160 Speaker 1: on the right should feel more Look, just people in 1065 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 1: general should feel Guys in general should feel more comfortable 1066 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:41,759 Speaker 1: talking about how the I think one of the ways 1067 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: that the apparatus tries to control you is actually is 1068 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: actually through the desensitization of the twenty four seven access 1069 00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 1: to pornography and the normalization of that. Like there's just 1070 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, for a long time, people forget there was 1071 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: more porn being watched on the internet than literally anything else. 1072 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: I mean, right, And again, I know it sounds like 1073 00:54:58,239 --> 00:55:00,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, you know, like church lady, why are all 1074 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:02,440 Speaker 1: the people watching the port It's like, no, that's not 1075 00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,160 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to say. 1076 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:06,839 Speaker 1: It's not good for the guys who are doing it 1077 00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,600 Speaker 1: as somebody who appreciates female beauty and thinks that you know, 1078 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,040 Speaker 1: having a you know, having an attractive girlfriend or a 1079 00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,920 Speaker 1: wife or whatever something that should be aspirational for men. 1080 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 1: And you know, attractiveness is in the eye of the 1081 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,359 Speaker 1: beholder and all that, and I get that too, but um, 1082 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,439 Speaker 1: I think that this is an area where there could 1083 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,680 Speaker 1: be a lot a lot more done. Mike. I could 1084 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:27,440 Speaker 1: talk to you for like three hours, but I'm not 1085 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,359 Speaker 1: quite at the level yet, like like the Rogan three 1086 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,560 Speaker 1: hour long podcast, so we're gonna have to have you 1087 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 1: back for another time. Um. I just wanted what what 1088 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,880 Speaker 1: what it makes you feel positive about the future and 1089 00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 1: that you think people should hear. And then I want 1090 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 1: you to tell everybody where they should go to follow 1091 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: your work and just sort of see what you're what 1092 00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,799 Speaker 1: you're up to these days? Well, what makes me feel 1093 00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,239 Speaker 1: positive about the futurists? Always remember we just had the 1094 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,600 Speaker 1: one hundred anniversary, well recently we had the one hundredth 1095 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,799 Speaker 1: anniversary at the end of World War One, and I 1096 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:59,600 Speaker 1: always encourage people to go read about that war and 1097 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 1: what lives would have been like if we had been 1098 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 1: a draftable age and that in the Battle of Psalm 1099 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,160 Speaker 1: and learn more and more and more about World War One. 1100 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite World War One book? Yeah, 1101 00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: Paul Fussell wrote a book. He also wrote a book 1102 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,239 Speaker 1: class about it, and I forget the book title, but 1103 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,720 Speaker 1: Paul Fussell's book on World War One is my favorite 1104 00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,759 Speaker 1: because I's in a lot of poetry and a lot 1105 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,800 Speaker 1: of the literary devices at the time, and the death 1106 00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:31,680 Speaker 1: tolls are literally incomprehensible. Would be like, right now, well 1107 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:35,239 Speaker 1: that happened, Okay, there's one hundred thousand men dead. That 1108 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,239 Speaker 1: makes me optimistic. Also, why we have to make sure 1109 00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,000 Speaker 1: we don't bumble our way into it with Russia and 1110 00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 1: Ukraine because we bumbled into it. So that is really 1111 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,440 Speaker 1: is still the best time to be alive. Man, All this, 1112 00:56:47,560 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 1: oh there's a war on men? This all that's true. 1113 00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,680 Speaker 1: You would still never ever, ever if one had been 1114 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,080 Speaker 1: born in another air because there's a man. You can 1115 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,520 Speaker 1: create your own destiny, right. I don't believe in living 1116 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,239 Speaker 1: the life heatonist, but if you wanted to live a 1117 00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,400 Speaker 1: life of Roman emperor as a man, you could. You 1118 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,520 Speaker 1: could do that. And don't do that, guys, I don't 1119 00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,080 Speaker 1: think that's a good way to live, but you could 1120 00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:12,520 Speaker 1: there's no there's never been a time in the history 1121 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:13,919 Speaker 1: of the world where you, as a man can really 1122 00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 1: choose your own adventure if you want to work for it. 1123 00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,960 Speaker 1: And every day I'm grateful because look at us, we're 1124 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:21,320 Speaker 1: talking like this. Now, this would have been impossible. We'd 1125 00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,479 Speaker 1: have been working the fields as medieval peasants. Right. Yeah, 1126 00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:27,880 Speaker 1: we're hanging out talking and hundreds of thousands of people 1127 00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 1: are gonna hear our conversation, maybe benefit from it a 1128 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,120 Speaker 1: little bit and be able to say, you know, I 1129 00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,520 Speaker 1: learned something or I have a different perspective on things. 1130 00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 1: And we didn't even have to leave our houses to 1131 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,560 Speaker 1: do it. It's really pretty crazy. And then people are 1132 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,240 Speaker 1: able to listen to so even if they have a 1133 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:45,920 Speaker 1: job that's maybe a little bit boring, well I had 1134 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,960 Speaker 1: boring jobs too, and you didn't have pot. You had 1135 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 1: a portable CD player if you're lucky, a walkman or something. 1136 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,800 Speaker 1: So there's never been a better time to be alive, 1137 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,440 Speaker 1: and people should recognize that where they follow all things Cernovich. 1138 00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: My sub stack is pretty good Mike Cernovich substack dot 1139 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: com and then Twitter at Cernovich.
