1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Are you a citizen of the United States who cares 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: about what's going on, especially the division that's taking place 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: in the MAGA movement. Well, don't miss it, because I've 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: got the host of the Citizen Podcast, Dan Holloway, on 5 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: the David Rutherford Show. All Right, everybody, thank you so 6 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: much for joining me. You know, after a Monday show 7 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: called the MAGA Split, I wanted to bring on somebody 8 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: that I believe really is tracking this at the most granual, 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: lever level, but also as bringing forth a really well 10 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: thought out application to all of the things that are 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: driving the split. For whether it's the you know, the 12 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,680 Speaker 1: anti war movement, or whether it's the Epstein files, or 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: whether it's the land sale, whatever it might be. The 14 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: one individual that I really truly believe that has just 15 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: a profound insight on all these things is mister Dan 16 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: Holloway with the Citizen Podcast, who's also on one of 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 1: my favorites, the Drinking Brothers Podcast. So, ladies and gentlemen, 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: mister Dan Holloway, how are you doing, Dan, I'm doing well. 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: How are you well? 20 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, after three months of finally getting 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 1: a show back up and running, I think I finally 22 00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: am starting to find a little bit of a tempo 23 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: and a little bit of. 24 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: Understanding of what this thing's gonna look like. 25 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 1: But certainly when you had me on about four months ago, 26 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: that really got me got me thinking about what I 27 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: needed to do because of how well you do it. 28 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: So thank you. 29 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, it's it takes a little 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: while to get into a rhythm, doesn't it. 31 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 3: It does? You know. 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: I took you know, probably two and a half years 33 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: off and I was like, oh, I got this, It's easy. 34 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: And then like my first month, I was trying to 35 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: figure out, all right, that doesn't work. That doesn't work. 36 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, finally, well listen, let's let's get into it. 37 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: I know you're busy man, As I was saying in 38 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: the intro, you know, I did show released it Monday 39 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: on the MAGA split, and I've been watching. You've been 40 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: all over a lot of the people on both sides. 41 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 1: Whether you know, I'm still trying to really define what 42 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: woke right is right from James, Lindsay and Peterson and 43 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: all that. But there's a definite division amongst the different people. 44 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: So as you see this, how are you looking at this? 45 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: Where do you see the splits taking place, and what 46 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: are kind of the tributaries of division that are kind 47 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: of breaking out within the MAGA movement. 48 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, I mean, I guess it helps to start 49 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 4: at the granular level, right, the United States is the 50 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 4: simple idea that individual liberty and personal entrepreneurship are the 51 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 4: ultimate inoculation to tyranny. That's what we believe here, right. 52 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 4: We believe that when the state is large, the individual 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: is small. Now, with that, and this is kind of 54 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 4: the purpose of my show, citizen, with that comes a 55 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 4: litany of responsibilities, right, Like I believe the phrase from 56 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 4: one of our founders was a republic if you can 57 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 4: keep it right, And the presumption there is that it 58 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 4: requires your constant maintenance and vigilance. 59 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 2: Now, it is true that we are. 60 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 4: Aimed towards liberty above all else, and that decentralization is 61 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: probably the best way, so far as we could tell, 62 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: to handle that sort of stuff. And that means the 63 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,839 Speaker 4: diffusion of power amongst a lower and a greater number 64 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 4: of people, and at a lower level. Certainly, that's what 65 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 4: federalism is meant to do. Right in tend to meend 66 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 4: to the constitution. Now, certain the thing that I will 67 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: also say is that most people aren't leaders. That's just 68 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 4: how life is, right, and there are quite a few 69 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 4: pew I think, people that take the time to come 70 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 4: and there's degrees of it, right, like not everybody is 71 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 4: a top level leader, but a lot of people. 72 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: Are middle management. 73 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 4: I mean, if you're a if you're a parent, then 74 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 4: you're you're the manager of your household. I think I 75 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 4: don't remember who's originally said it, but the lowest form 76 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 4: of government is your house, right, your family. And as such, 77 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 4: I really think that people need to be led. And 78 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 4: that isn't and and and and it when we talk 79 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 4: about stuff like this, it kind of betrays, uh the 80 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 4: one of the fundamental flaws of our decentralized system, and 81 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 4: every system has one. Ours are just happens to be 82 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 4: this and it's, in my opinion, manageable, which is that 83 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 4: you know, people are lazy and they don't want to 84 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 4: put in the effort required of them to get the 85 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: outcome they desire. 86 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: And that you. 87 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 4: Know that when you when you talk about you know, 88 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 4: from our perspective is as gunfighter types, how can I 89 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 4: exploit my enemy's weakness? That's the number one weakness in 90 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 4: the United States. Uh, and it is that there are 91 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 4: all these gaps in our defense where effort could solve them, 92 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 4: but it won't because they don't it's not going to 93 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 4: be present. 94 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: So and we had talked about that before. That's intellectual weakness. Yes, 95 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: that's actionable weakness, that's resilience weakness. It's the whole gambit, right. 96 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and then you know, so to solve that 97 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 4: kind of thing, there's this So Marcus Aurelius once said, 98 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 4: stop talking about what a good man is in B one, right, 99 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 4: and I think let's stop talking about what a leader 100 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 4: is in B one. 101 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: This is the thing that we need desperately, and we don't. 102 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 4: Have it because we have a lot of people who 103 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: are benefiting from the system in a lot of ways, right, 104 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 4: people that are let's say, people that are on welfare, 105 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 4: the politicians that are selling them that welfare on both 106 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 4: sides of the aisle. 107 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: This is not a democratic situation. It happens from both sides. 108 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 4: And then, of course, in the ecosphere, the people that 109 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 4: are meant to be I guess the middle management leaders, 110 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 4: the communicators, A lot of them, whether they know it 111 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 4: or not, have been captured either by their audience, or 112 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,279 Speaker 4: by some foreign adversary, or even by you know, propaganda 113 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 4: within our own government. Now you'll hear people talk about 114 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 4: how Katar does this. I mean, forget about all that crap. 115 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 4: That's not even necessary to bring up what actually like, 116 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 4: foreign governments for the most part, are not paying specific 117 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 4: individuals to do anything. To your point, for before about 118 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: these bot forms, that's not at all how it works. 119 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 4: What actually happens is the foreign government primarily China, Russia 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 4: to some degree, North Korea to some degree a RAN, 121 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 4: but a RAN is mostly a cutout of China in 122 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 4: that regard. And then you know, Israel does it as well, 123 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 4: The United States does it overseas, and probably here as well. 124 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 4: I think USAID probably funded some of this stuff. But 125 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 4: they'll take an extremist position like some dipshit. 126 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 2: Can I swear on the show. 127 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 4: I don't know which kind of shit were absolutely some 128 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 4: dipshit like Nick Fuintes will say something crazy and he'll 129 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: couch it. He'll say some accurate stuff, and then they'll 130 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 4: say something fucking stupid, right, and thousands of these bot 131 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 4: farm accounts will come in and say oh yeah, this that, 132 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 4: and people you know, fall into these traps. One of 133 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 4: them is called bandwagon fallacy, which is where if enough 134 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: people believe it, that means I should believe it too. 135 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: Well, that's not true. 136 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 4: It's literally a logical fallacy, right, So you should inspect 137 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: the information on its merit. 138 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 2: That should be the first thing. 139 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 4: Now, there are a lot of indicators about how this 140 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 4: stuff happens on It's quite a bit easier on Instagram 141 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 4: because you could see who likes what. So here's something 142 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: I would recommend you do. If you see somebody post 143 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 4: something that's a long reel or a meme or something 144 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 4: that's you know, clearly meant to inflame people. If you 145 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 4: see something like that, look at the comments section. Don't 146 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 4: worry about what the content of it is moving forward, 147 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: Just look at the comment section and find people, you know, 148 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 4: just hover over accounts that are responding to it and 149 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 4: find people that have that a lot of people in 150 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: very low follower accounts, and just find like two of them, 151 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 4: and then go look at other people making extreme comments 152 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 4: to boost that post, and then look and see if 153 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 4: that original two people like those posts. Then you've identified 154 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 4: a little BOTFM. That's how it works, right, So you 155 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 4: know this isn't new or clever. Nielsen has been caught 156 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 4: doing this with the cable black boxes a bunch of times, 157 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 4: including in India as late as like twenty twelve. 158 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: I think they got so in India for it. 159 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 4: So you know, this kind of manipulation has happened a 160 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 4: lot before. What I would say is, you know, we 161 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: have some really deep misunderstandings about what these foreign adversaries 162 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,440 Speaker 4: are trying to do, like the Russia collusion hoax, right, 163 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: which is complete nonsense made a lot of people on 164 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 4: the left think that the whole purpose of Russian influence 165 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 4: was to get Donald Trump elected. That is not the case. 166 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 4: Their purpose is always chaos, right. They want they want 167 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: two things. They want Americans not to trust or talk 168 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 4: to each other, right, and they want to infiltrate our 169 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 4: systems with Marxism, our communications, our education, all of our 170 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 4: systems with Marxism. 171 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: That is their goal, right. 172 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 4: So if you think about it from that standpoint, you 173 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 4: and this now I'm speaking to the individual creators as well. 174 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: If you see these. 175 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 4: Bot farms engaging and promoting your posts, you should ask 176 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 4: yourself why, even if the information is true, right, you 177 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: should still ask yourself, well, why is my enemy coming 178 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 4: to my defense. Right now, what does that say about 179 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 4: my position or what does it say about what they're 180 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 4: trying to do. I'm not telling you to act any 181 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 4: certain way. I just want people to observe what's happening, 182 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 4: because I don't think that people like being tricked. I 183 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 4: think it really pisses me off when somebody tries to 184 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 4: influence me like that. And I think the average person, 185 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 4: even though they need to be led like, not everyone's 186 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 4: going to not everyone's going to be a political science 187 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 4: scholar or an economic scholar, right, That's just not how 188 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 4: life works. You've got a job to do, so we 189 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 4: need to be able to depend on people in the 190 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,320 Speaker 4: public sphere to some degree and the expert class, which 191 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 4: we've completely lost in this country, to do their fucking job. 192 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 4: Like that is your and you need to take it 193 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 4: seriously and do it in a good way. And if 194 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 4: you're being influenced and infiltrated by these foreign averse series, 195 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 4: this is not going to happen, right. So I think 196 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 4: it's all part of this ecosystem where there are people 197 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 4: that I like out there in the public that are 198 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,719 Speaker 4: being influenced in this way, and I try to tell 199 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 4: them about it. 200 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 2: Like, hey, I like you, but look at what's happening 201 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 2: right here. This is not good. 202 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 4: Because it is all of our job leader or not 203 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 4: to hold each other accountable. 204 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: That's what this community is supposed to be about. 205 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 3: I agree. I think that's a great way to evaluate it. 206 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: That The challenge though is, you know, and this goes 207 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: back which I remember, you know, when the whole fiasco 208 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: of Douglas Murray and Dave Smith on Rogan and that 209 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: whole thing, and well you weren't there, And it's the 210 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: classification of expertise, right, And like you said, I think 211 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: really as a result of COVID, we had a collapse 212 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: in confidence in the experts for sure. 213 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 3: And so now moving forward. 214 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: It's it's you have, uh, comedians like Dave Smith, who 215 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: is an impassioned anti war libertarian. I guess, you know, 216 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: then you have you know, you have other people, uh 217 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: like James Lindsay, who is obviously smart guy, understands communism 218 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: at an ultimate level. But then as projecting along with 219 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson that if you post a certain way, you 220 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: fit the you know, the psychotic triad. And so it's 221 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: like I see both people becoming more extreme in order 222 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: to refine their stance. And what you said, which was 223 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: I thought really interesting, was that component about audience capture 224 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 1: and and so you get these bot farms that will 225 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 1: come in and reinforce your point, and you are like, oh, 226 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: well I'm more and reinforced, I'm more that I'm right, 227 00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,079 Speaker 1: I'm over the target. This is what my audience wants 228 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: to see. Explain a little bit more about how you 229 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: how you try and assess these things with people online 230 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: and then often in private too, because I'm sure you 231 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: reach out to people that you know personally and say I. 232 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: Do yeah, yeah. 233 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 4: So I think the most important thing that you can 234 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 4: do as a thinker is to reduce things down to 235 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: their fundamental level, what we would call first principles. 236 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 2: Right, I think that's the most important thing. 237 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 4: And I've given this example a number of times recently, 238 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 4: but for your audience, I'll give it again. One of 239 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 4: the longest running and most vicious debates in America politically speaking, 240 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 4: has been over healthcare. And as someone who leans towards 241 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 4: the conservative side, somebody from the left will say, I 242 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 4: think we should have free health care. In my mind, 243 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 4: like alarm bells are going off in my head, obviously, right, like, well, one, 244 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 4: nothing's free, and to the group that you think that's 245 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 4: is administering this. 246 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 2: Is not going to do a very good job. Blah 247 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 2: blah blah ah that stuff. 248 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 4: Okay, Well I can say all that, and I can 249 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 4: start an argument with this person and then we will 250 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 4: converse about our argument, will both state our points, and 251 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 4: then we'll walk away. 252 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: That's how that goes. 253 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: Or you know, and I'm not telling you to capitulate, 254 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 4: I'm telling you to understand. Or you could do this, 255 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 4: You could say what you could take this person at 256 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 4: their best possible first principle meeting, which is that and 257 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 4: the richest country in the history of the world. It 258 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 4: is almost assuredly unethical to tell people they could be 259 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 4: as healthy as they can afford to be when they're 260 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 4: getting a shit text taxed out of them and there 261 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 4: are all these predatory systems out there. That is something 262 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 4: that I fundamentally agree with. Actually, right, So now we're 263 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: talking about the solution to that problem rather than ignoring 264 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 4: the problem. 265 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 2: Entirely, because this is what happens if you man if it. 266 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 4: Just because you don't agree with somebody's solution to a 267 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 4: problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And if you pretend 268 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 4: that problem doesn't exist, then people you don't like and 269 00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 4: you don't agree with will come in and solve that 270 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 4: problem on your behalf, and it is going to be 271 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 4: in a way that you don't like, and it probably 272 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 4: disadvantages you to some degree. Your participation in this is required, 273 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 4: and the only way to participate fully is to do 274 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 4: that to fully understand that person's position. So you know, 275 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 4: to the first principal thing on what people like James 276 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 4: would call the woke, right, Okay, so he doesn't mean 277 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 4: they're woke in the way that their protrands or any 278 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 4: of this stuff, the way that we kind of casually 279 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 4: define it. What he's saying is that they want These 280 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 4: people want power. There's this old saying. 281 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 2: It's kind of a. 282 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: It's not old, actually, it's kind of it's a newer saying. 283 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: But there's this like refrain about Marxism. Call everything oppressive 284 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 4: until you own it, right, That's that's their baseline strategy, 285 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 4: and it's about power. It has nothing to do with 286 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 4: principles or anything like that. And you can see it. 287 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 4: These people that are that are that are Marxist folks 288 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 4: who were perfectly happy be locking you down and trying 289 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 4: to force vaccinate you. They were still going out to 290 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 4: the French laundry, you know, with no mask on. You 291 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: know for a fact they didn't believe it. This uh 292 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 4: what's his name, Mark Kelly from Arizona. When Elon was 293 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 4: getting cozy with the administration, he traded in his Tesla, 294 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: not for another electric vehicle, by the way, but for 295 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 4: a V eight GMC, the same one I drive as 296 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 4: a matter of fact, Right, so you know that these 297 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 4: people have no root and principle. They're full of shit, 298 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 4: every single one of them. So people that are trying 299 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 4: to gain power, right, and as such, they are using 300 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 4: the tools to gain power in lieu of the tools 301 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 4: to decentralize or empowered people. That is woke, right, that 302 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 4: those are the tool belt. I'm sorry, that is the 303 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 4: tool belt of the woke actor. So don't confuse it 304 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 4: with and I don't use the phrase woke right because 305 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 4: I think it's just it requires too much time like 306 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 4: this to explain what it means. Right, I just call 307 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 4: him assholes to be honest. But James is a j 308 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 4: is a nerd, right, so he's going to do that. 309 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 4: But they're using the same power or the same tools 310 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 4: to gain power. Right, And you can see it all 311 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 4: the time. When's the last time a Republican decentralized anything? 312 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 2: Right? And when you see these people who are what 313 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: I consider to be cultists for their political parties on 314 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: either side, whenever they get into power, it's never about 315 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 2: returning things to normal. 316 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 4: It's about I've got power, Now, what am I going 317 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 4: to do with it? Nope, I'm sorry, that's not the 318 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 4: right answer, my friend. 319 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: I hope you're enjoying the show. I just wanted to 320 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: step in real quick and just let you know that 321 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 1: if you visit David Rutherford dot com, you can get 322 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 1: access to one of our most important pieces of curriculum 323 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: that I've ever written or ever put out. It's called 324 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: the Embrace Fear Training Course. This course I spent two 325 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: years researching. Combine that with my experiences as a Navy 326 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: seal working for Blackwater and working from the working for 327 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,199 Speaker 1: the Central Intelligence Agency, so I know a little bit 328 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: about fear.

Now, I think you know this 352 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 1: cycle was one of the most unique cycles I've ever 353 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: been paying attention. 354 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 3: And you know, mild Man, was you know, always very. 355 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: In tune with what was going on politically, and and 356 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,199 Speaker 1: you know, he grew up in the late sixties, went 357 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: to University of Michigan when Abby Hoffman was there, and 358 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: you know, just so as an attorney and so always 359 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: that's right, that's right, and always had this And I 360 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: remember vividly as a young boy, you know, watching sixty 361 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: Minutes with him and him being like, well, this is 362 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: this and this is this, and I was like, oh, 363 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: this is cool, you know. And for me, my big 364 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 1: transition was, uh when we invaded Iraq the first time, 365 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: and you know, I think I was eighteen years old. 366 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: I was up in Connecticut at boarding school, and it 367 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: was like, oh shit, there's something bigger at play. Well, 368 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: I think now what's taking place in particularly over that 369 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: last cycle, like everything has become it's the end of 370 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: the world. And you pointed a little bit of this out. 371 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: I think with the whole Iran Israel bombing, you're like, 372 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: all right, everybody that's talking about World War three and 373 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: if we go and there's going to be you know, 374 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: seventy million Americans dead in the first five you know, 375 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: you're like, everybody, just shut up. 376 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 3: And I love the example that you gave and. 377 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: About the first Trump term where you know, we went 378 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: in and we took out the guy who was the 379 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: head of the ig R what is it, the IRG, 380 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: I RGC, thank you, and nothing was done as a result. 381 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: And so what I what I what I'm asking you 382 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:11,959 Speaker 1: is is you're obviously saying, all right, figure out what 383 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: that defining principle is and then move into the argument. 384 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 1: But is there a place where where is there a 385 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: legitimate argument right now? Let's take the hottest issue on 386 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 1: a thing I just saw today fifty posts Dan Bongino's 387 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: leaving the FBI, he had to take a day off, 388 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: right cash Betel and hear Fuman Pambani's on the chopping 389 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: board because of the collapse and Trumps whatever the Epstein thing. 390 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 1: Why is this such a divisive concept within the MAGA 391 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: movement right now? And why do you think like this 392 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: is one of those core principal ideas to really flush 393 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: out in order to get everybody. I don't know what, 394 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: I don't know what the outcome is, Like, how do 395 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: you assemble everybody in a concise manner to get some 396 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: final not even finality, but just some exposure. Right What 397 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: would be your suggestion in this or in your explanation 398 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: of it. Sorry that was long winded. 399 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: Positive, No, No, I've got some notes. 400 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 4: People think that we all learned our lesson from all 401 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 4: the lockdown and Biden's stuff because we re elected Trump, 402 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 4: but clearly that's not the case. Clearly, anybody that's arguing 403 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 4: against publishing whatever we have on Epstein is full of shit. Right, 404 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 4: That's certainly not what they were saying six months ago 405 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 4: when it was like on day one, on day one, 406 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 4: on day one, So that person has either abandoned or 407 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 4: never had principles. 408 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: That's just how it is. 409 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 4: What I would refer to as an intellectual club, right, 410 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,320 Speaker 4: they don't belong in the conversation. They need to be 411 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 4: told what to think, frankly, and I did. That's a 412 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,360 Speaker 4: sad reality, but that is what it is. And there's 413 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 4: another example of it. We were all against omnibus bills 414 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 4: twelve months ago. We were fighting hard to make sure 415 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 4: that never happened again, and we were promised it would 416 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 4: not at least in this term. And now it's awesome 417 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 4: because Trump renamed it. I'm sorry, that doesn't that doesn't 418 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 4: that Losa doesn't track for me. You were either principled 419 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 4: or you are not principled. That is it, right, There's 420 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 4: no there's no time sensitivity to principles. It's either a 421 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 4: true thing or it's not a true thing. And the 422 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 4: ultimate version of audience capture is politics. 423 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: Right. 424 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 4: These people try to persuade you in certain ways, but 425 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 4: they also run opinion polls, right, and if the broader 426 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 4: public takes a stand against something, then they will back 427 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 4: off of it. And I'll tell you there's been a 428 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 4: pretty recent example of it happening. A lot of people 429 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 4: in a lot of big cities let their businesses get 430 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 4: shut down, to let them sell, their kids get kicked 431 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: out of schools for you know, months at a time, 432 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 4: all this stuff, and they just took it. They complained 433 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 4: on social media, but they took it. But then when 434 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 4: the Biden administration under DHS tried to stand up this 435 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 4: Governance Disinformation Board that was basically like an online censorship 436 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 4: program inside of our federal government, everybody from the left 437 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 4: to the right said nope, we're not doing that, and 438 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 4: it went away. That woman got fired by the way, 439 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,439 Speaker 4: she works with the British government doing the exact same thing. 440 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 4: So you can see that the power of in the 441 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 4: first season the Game of Thrones, the king is like, 442 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 4: what's stronger, five or one? 443 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: And she's like five, and he goes five one. 444 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 4: Right, So a fist is quite a bit stronger than 445 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 4: open hand, and that is what the resounding no from 446 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 4: Americans sounds like. So the solution to this stuff, this 447 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 4: maga split, is that you need to understand logic and reason. 448 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 4: Probably go read some of the things that Aristotle had 449 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 4: to say or Marcus Aurelius had to say. Those are 450 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 4: two very important figures in Seneca as well, and that 451 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 4: specific those three people are very good to look into, 452 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 4: and then maybe study some civics so you actually understand 453 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 4: how our government works, because right now you're having a 454 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 4: conversation about stuff that you just don't understand. Frankly, I 455 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 4: think that's a big problem, and it's you can see 456 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 4: it in this You mentioned Dave Smith and some of 457 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 4: these other guys, But it's just the anti war side, 458 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 4: and I don't think it's one. 459 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 2: Nobody is truly anti war. 460 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 4: I don't believe that, right, because if I brought war 461 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 4: to your house, you would be pro war in an instant, right. 462 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 4: So it's just a matter of defining terms and just 463 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 4: war theory and stuff like that, which they also have 464 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: no concept of. But it does show I'll say this, 465 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 4: it shows the damage that George W. Bush's administration did 466 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,399 Speaker 4: to this country. They so misuse the trust of the 467 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 4: American public that we can't look at a country like 468 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 4: a Ran who has been for years threatening to destroy 469 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 4: our civilization and has bombed our Marine cor barracks and 470 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 4: has been the number one state sponsor of terrorism globally 471 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 4: and say, well, we can't let them get nukes. That 472 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 4: that seems like a pretty reasonable thing. The entire world 473 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 4: agrees on this. By the way, I don't even think 474 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 4: China and Russia want them to get nukes. They're just 475 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 4: using it to keep us wrapped up over there, right, 476 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 4: that would be that would be not great. So it's 477 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 4: like you have your personal opinions on stuff, and your 478 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,679 Speaker 4: you know, your educational life. It's all going to inform 479 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 4: these opinions. So, which is why you need to get 480 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 4: more of those things. 481 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 2: Right. 482 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 4: The more data you get, the better off you're going 483 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 4: to be when you're making these decisions. It is completely 484 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 4: unreasonable to think that, you know, Iran should be allowed 485 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 4: to have nuclear weapons. 486 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 2: That's crazy. I don't like. 487 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 4: I honestly don't think anybody actually believes that. I think 488 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 4: some people are just being contrarian for its own sake. 489 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 4: But the other point you made was about Casimi Sola money. 490 00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 2: It wasn't just. 491 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,360 Speaker 4: It wasn't just the fact that Iran didn't retaliate. It's 492 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 4: that they called us and said, here's what we're going 493 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 4: to do. They did it in twenty twenty as well, 494 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 4: by the way, like it was it was broadcast that 495 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 4: they called Qatar to let them know where they were 496 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 4: going to hit before, but they did it in twenty 497 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 4: twenty as well, reported on it at the time, same 498 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: exact scenario happened. And the reason is because they don't 499 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 4: in fact have escalatory dominance in the region, which is 500 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 4: what Smith and all these other people said. 501 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: Tucker Carlson said it. 502 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 4: All these people were like on and on and on 503 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,840 Speaker 4: about this, all the tragic stuff that was going to happen, 504 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 4: and it was a complete and utter failure of understanding 505 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 4: that situation. And now it's like the way that they 506 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 4: responded to that was not humility, which is something that 507 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 4: really bothered me. The way they responded to it was like, 508 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 4: oh no, us belly aching on Twitter is what stopped 509 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 4: Trump from launching a ground invasion, Like, are you out 510 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 4: of your fucking mind? You really like, you can't possibly 511 00:26:53,200 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 4: believe that, So to you know, I guess, reunify this 512 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 4: this group of people that came together to stop Kamala 513 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 4: Harris from really setting us on the wrong course. This 514 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 4: same group of people agreed on a lot of different stuff. 515 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,880 Speaker 4: They agreed on getting all these illegals out of the country, right, 516 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 4: They agreed to not add to the debt, which we're 517 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 4: doing now. 518 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 2: But maybe short term we'll see. 519 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 4: I mean, anybody that's running business knows that sometimes you 520 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 4: got to dig a little deeper to get out. That's 521 00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 4: just the way it is with the Fabian strategy, if 522 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: you want to call it that from war, but sometimes 523 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 4: you got to go a little deeper to get out. 524 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 4: We'll see how that works. I'll reserve judgment on that. 525 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,400 Speaker 4: I don't like how it's gone so far, but I'll 526 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 4: reserve my final judgment on that. And the other thing 527 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: was exposing the corruption. Not one person who is involved 528 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 4: in any of this corruption has been brought to heal, 529 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 4: not one, not one person except for this woman who 530 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,679 Speaker 4: trafficked a bunch of people to nobody apparently, right, So like, 531 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 4: if you want me to trust you as a as 532 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 4: a as a leader, somebody who's going to tell me 533 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 4: the truth, you sure shit can't lie to my face. 534 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 4: We know for a fact, and Mike Ben's, by the way, 535 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 4: has done great work articulated by this stuff. But we 536 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 4: know for a fact that Epstein's relationship with the CIA 537 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 4: began back during the Iran contra scandal, where he was 538 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 4: providing financial services to at Nakushogi. We have decades of 539 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,159 Speaker 4: files on this dude, and the State Department literally leased 540 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 4: the largest rest second largest residence in all of New 541 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 4: York City for him. Don't lie to that face, tell 542 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 4: me anything, say, because you remember how the story has 543 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 4: changed over time. The files are like that, we can't 544 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 4: put it out because we're prosecuting people. We don't want 545 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 4: that to get out. Blah blah blah. 546 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 2: Story change, story change, story change. 547 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 4: If this were a court of law, this person would 548 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 4: be completely disgraced by now all of those right, So 549 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 4: you know, I understand Bongino. I think he's a good 550 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 4: dude actually, and I think Cash is a good dude 551 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,480 Speaker 4: as well. I think they're being strong armed, right, now, 552 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 4: and they're being pushed out into the limeline to take 553 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 4: the hit. 554 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 2: I hope Bonjina resigns. I hope he does. 555 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 4: I hope Cash does as well, because that's the only 556 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 4: thing that's ever going to save their reputation. 557 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: And Bondy's done. 558 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 4: In my opinion, I bitched about Bondi getting nominated in 559 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 4: the first place, because she's the architect of red flag 560 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 4: laws at Florida. 561 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: What the fuck was you thinking? Right? That was never 562 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 2: that was never a good choice. 563 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 4: But these other two guys had some street cred, and 564 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 4: the administration so far has used their street cred not 565 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 4: to not to actually give credibility, but as cover right, yes, 566 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 4: which is a big problem, man. 567 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 2: And if I were either one of those dudes, I 568 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: would be pissed. 569 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 3: Pissed. 570 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: I mean, your reputation shot, Like how do you even 571 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: rebuild it now? I mean, I mean I remember I 572 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: first really got immersed in following Bongino in like seventeen 573 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: because he was doing the best reporting on Russia Gate. 574 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: He had written the book Follow the Money, right, I mean, 575 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 1: he had gone down these rabbit holes on all these 576 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 1: different types of illegal corruption, and and then it emerged 577 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: and then it just then it just got to a 578 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: place where like he was dead on on all of 579 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: these things, and then to go in and be like 580 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm day one, I'm getting it. I'm it's over, and 581 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: I think you're you're spot on. It's like all right, you. 582 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 1: It's interesting the way trust develops online, right, and for 583 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 1: you see it for some people it's it's it's much 584 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: different than for others. For some, like you said, those followers, 585 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: it's you put out a couple of pieces and then 586 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, you've got your your marching orders, and they 587 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: kind of you know that uh, mass formation psychosis that 588 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: doctor Robert Malone talks so exquisitely about. And but then 589 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 1: you have people that have been there or done that. 590 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: They're like no, no, no, no, no way. And in 591 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: my mind it's kind of the some of the leaders 592 00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 1: of that that group of people who are calling out 593 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: all of these things is really the g WoT guys, right, 594 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: it's all of us who fell for a lot of 595 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: this stuff. Went in on the pretense that we were 596 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: save in America and you know under you know, yeah 597 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: we thought this. I think it was a lot more 598 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: the personal desires to do something bigger than yourself, which 599 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: led us into the spot where you take orders and 600 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: I don't care where you send me. I'm going to 601 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: do my job and be a part of the team, 602 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: so to speak. But now it's it's so much different. 603 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: It's evolved. It's evolved into a much more complex information 604 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: environment and information campaigns, and so being able to decipher 605 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: those and get back to a stated, maybe centralized, accepted 606 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 1: opinion for a mass group is I don't. I don't 607 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: think it's possible. I think that the crack is permanent. 608 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,280 Speaker 1: Just like most political right environments, you know, they come together, 609 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: they ascend, they reach power, and then you know, they 610 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 1: either get the shaft or they go about their own 611 00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: corrupt business dealings themselves. What in your mind does the 612 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: next six months of the landscape look for look like 613 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: for a lot of these pundits that are out there, 614 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 1: you know, and I guess we're loosely affiliated with that. 615 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: I think we call more strikes than balls, for sure, 616 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: But what do you see this emerging like? 617 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: That's a good question. 618 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 4: I mean, I work with an organization who identifies the 619 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 4: bought farm stuff specifically, actually had a call about it 620 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:45,000 Speaker 4: this morning, and we're going to put out some specific 621 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 4: examples about individual posts made by creators that were influenced 622 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 4: in a way that made them blow up so people 623 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 4: can see it. Because I think sunlight's the best disinfectant, 624 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 4: you know. I think when people see that stuff, I 625 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 4: get DMS every single day. Like it's like, once you 626 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 4: pointed it out, I can't stop seeing it everywhere. 627 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: Now. 628 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I think. 629 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 4: Like, to be honest, I think sixty sixty five percent 630 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 4: of the Internet is fake, especially that's a good number 631 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 4: and metal, Yeah. 632 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: I think I think it's pretty fake. What I don't 633 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 2: think is that. 634 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 4: I don't think any of these people are getting paid 635 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,719 Speaker 4: by Russia or China or Israel or the US government 636 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 4: to say things. I think that they're benefiting from audience. 637 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: You know. 638 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 4: I think they're benefiting from ad revenue for sure, But 639 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 4: audience capture happens absent payment all the time. 640 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 2: I mean, look at reality television. Most of the people 641 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 2: the Kardashians, the Kardashians make money, but the vast majority 642 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 2: of people in reality TV, they don't make shit. It's like, 643 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 2: at all, five to fifteen thousand dollars an episode, maybe, right, 644 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 2: Look Island two. 645 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: Point eight billion viewers of that show around the world 646 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 1: and it's literally like watching I just can't even wrap 647 00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: my but it's it's overwhelming, and these people are like 648 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 1: three thousand dollars an episode or something crazy, and it's 649 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: all just exposure for sure. 650 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:06,400 Speaker 2: So you can see that. 651 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,800 Speaker 4: It's like, it doesn't require all of these extra steps 652 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 4: that we're adding to it to be an actual conspiracy. 653 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,200 Speaker 4: The conspiracy is far more clever than that, right, because 654 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 4: there is no paper trail, there is no money to follow. 655 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 4: You have to follow the capture, which is quite a 656 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 4: bit more difficult, right because sometimes things legitimately blow up 657 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,319 Speaker 4: for one reason or another, so it's a lot more 658 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 4: difficult to identify that. 659 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 2: And people also have men. 660 00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 4: Just the memory span these days is so low, and 661 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 4: it's become the fact that we operate in such short 662 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,120 Speaker 4: circuits now. 663 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 2: And here's a little here's a great example of this. 664 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 4: Go find your favorite movie or TV show for when 665 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 4: you were growing up, when you're like ten, eleven, twelve, 666 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,480 Speaker 4: the first movie you watch with your dad or something 667 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 4: like that, and watch the opening credits and the opening scene. 668 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 4: It's going to be somewhere between like twelve and twenty 669 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 4: minutes that for those two things combined. Watch it now, 670 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,200 Speaker 4: it's four minutes right. Any movie you see, it's the 671 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,839 Speaker 4: credits are short, the opening scene is somewhere between ninety 672 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 4: minutes and or ninety seconds and three minutes, every single 673 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,399 Speaker 4: one of them. That's where we are now, and it's 674 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,759 Speaker 4: made us way more susceptible to this thing called the 675 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 4: Gellman amnesia effect and the gal Maan amnesia effect. The 676 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,480 Speaker 4: best example that I was given to explain it is, 677 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,200 Speaker 4: imagine you are somebody who dabbles in day trading. 678 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,320 Speaker 2: Right, so you're on the stock. 679 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 4: Market and you go to the New York Times Financial section. 680 00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 4: You flip the page six for their stock tips, and 681 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,240 Speaker 4: they're wrong every single day. But you keep going back, 682 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 4: you keep going back, and this I'll bring this back 683 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 4: to these people who are alarmists all the time about everything. 684 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 4: It's only for attention they have. There's no substance there. 685 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,480 Speaker 4: And the reason that it continues is because they never 686 00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 4: have to pay a price, never pay a price for 687 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 4: being abjectly wrong about everything they say. They couch it 688 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 4: in a little bit of truth, and you know, well, 689 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 4: maybe it'll happen down the road, like maybe Iran's gonna 690 00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:14,279 Speaker 4: hit it, like Okay, so how long from now? In 691 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 4: the next ten years? If rand hits his ten years 692 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:16,919 Speaker 4: from now, is that count? 693 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 2: Am I wrong? Am I wrong? Now? That there wasn't 694 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 2: some retalent chef that fucked up? Man? You know what 695 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 2: I mean? It's like that. 696 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 4: But that's how it is. So for these pundits, I 697 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 4: think they're going to keep cruising along. To be honest, 698 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 4: I'm definitely gonna try and look, I'm not out to 699 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 4: get anybody. I think Dave is a really smart guy, actually, 700 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 4: and I think on his domestic like he and I, 701 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,919 Speaker 4: if you compared our domestic ideas, you would be hard 702 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 4: pressed to find any difference at all, to be frank, 703 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 4: and even for most foreign policy stuff, I think he 704 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 4: and I would be pretty close on it. But for 705 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 4: this stuff, that's all alarm us right now? Is it is? 706 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 4: It is a symptom of something right, It's not real. 707 00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 4: None of that stuff is real. And I like Tucker too. 708 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,399 Speaker 4: I think Tucker is a good guy. I think he's 709 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 4: captured by some of this stuff for one reason or another. 710 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 4: I don't think any of these are getting paid by somebody. 711 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,319 Speaker 4: I don't think it's necessary. And I also think they're 712 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,080 Speaker 4: good people like I know Tucker. I think he's a 713 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,280 Speaker 4: good man. He's not doing this shit to hurt anybody, 714 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 4: and he's not getting paid by some foreign government to 715 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,280 Speaker 4: sell out his own country. 716 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 2: That shit is not happening, right. You have a disagreement 717 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 2: with him. 718 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 4: His methodology is probably flawed based on what I understand 719 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,320 Speaker 4: about this situation, but that doesn't make him a bad person. 720 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,680 Speaker 4: And treating him as such, or treating Dave or any 721 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,160 Speaker 4: these other guys as such, who what favor are you 722 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 4: doing to whom? By doing that, all you're doing is 723 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 4: further entrenching the people that listen to him in their 724 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 4: position instead of giving them the opportunity to examine what 725 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 4: he's saying right from with understanding. Otherwise, we're just all 726 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 4: getting farther apart, and that's not helping anybody. 727 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:52,480 Speaker 1: Okay, pardon for the interruption, but I just again just 728 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 1: want you to understand just how awesome the one of 729 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:03,040 Speaker 1: our core sponsors is, and that Firecracker Farms.

I've heard from people in the intelligence community 782 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,160 Speaker 4: that have poured over the stuff there are. There is 783 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,920 Speaker 4: some weird stuff, not weird like in a sexual way 784 00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:22,640 Speaker 4: or anything like that. 785 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,480 Speaker 2: Stuff about how he and like allegedly he and Millennia. 786 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 4: Were introduced by Epstein, right, and that's embarrassing for him. 787 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 4: I don't care about that that that has Trump is 788 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 4: another person I think is a good man, right. He's 789 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,120 Speaker 4: different than me. He grew up a billionaire in New York. 790 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 4: We have some different values for sure. And he's also 791 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 4: on a ticking clock because he's only got this one 792 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 4: term to do his stuff. So I understand why he 793 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 4: rushes through certain things. I understand he's he's moderated quite 794 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 4: a bit. When I say moderated, he's not calling everybody 795 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,880 Speaker 4: assholes now only now and then, right, So he's I 796 00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 4: think he's a good man too. 797 00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,160 Speaker 2: He's doing a lot of cool stuff. 798 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 4: My sincere opinion about that is that he is he 799 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 4: doesn't want to be the president in charge when this 800 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 4: all collapses, and that's probably what would happen if he 801 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 4: told everybody everything. I think he should still do it, don't. 802 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 4: I don't give a fuck. If a system is built 803 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 4: on this evil, then it needs to collapse. But as 804 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,400 Speaker 4: far as what they could do to rebuild this stuff, 805 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 4: I don't know that anything can be done, because what 806 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 4: they're going to try to do is message their way 807 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 4: out of it, and I don't think that's going to work, 808 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,000 Speaker 4: especially when you know, if you're a typical Trump voter 809 00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 4: from twenty sixteen, a rural person who is probably middle 810 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 4: to lower middle class, and you just saw the big 811 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 4: beautiful bill add a bunch of debt right that we're 812 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 4: going to have to pay for it at some point, and 813 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 4: you saw it raised the salt deduction from ten percent 814 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 4: to forty percent if anybody's even tracking on this, So 815 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 4: now New York City and Los Angeles and San Francisco, 816 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 4: anybody that lives there can write off forty percent or 817 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 4: I'm sorry, up to forty thousand dollars in their state 818 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:04,359 Speaker 4: local taxes, right, which means you're going to now pay 819 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,799 Speaker 4: a higher effective federal tax rate than this person that 820 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 4: lives in the shithole that voted the wrong You did 821 00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 4: the right thing. You did the right thing, and now 822 00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 4: you're going to get penalized for it. Anyways, I think 823 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,359 Speaker 4: that's kind of stuff is really hard to come back from, 824 00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 4: to be honest. And I really think that in September, 825 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 4: if this recision bill that they're talking about during the 826 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 4: reconciliation process doesn't hammer federal spending in a meaningful way, 827 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:29,560 Speaker 4: then they're going to be fucked in twenty six. 828 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 2: That's what I think. 829 00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,399 Speaker 1: There's no doubt I agree wholeheartedly with you. I think 830 00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 1: the only messaging that's going to distract the American public 831 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:41,879 Speaker 1: right now is continue the tariffs, continue walloping these other 832 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: countries getting paid back. I think that's a great diversion 833 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 1: from it. And then for me, I think you relaunch 834 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,680 Speaker 1: this whole thing with the FED. I think you really 835 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,440 Speaker 1: dig in, you start to confront. I think you start 836 00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: talking about an audit of the FED. I think you 837 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,920 Speaker 1: talk about out the Fort Knox stuff. You know, because 838 00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,840 Speaker 1: the one thing I think that the two biggest things 839 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 1: that people will not tolerate is is children getting hurt, right, 840 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,640 Speaker 1: children being objectified, children being attacked, children. 841 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 3: Being wronged, And the other is money. 842 00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:22,960 Speaker 1: And you know, at thirty eight trillion dollars, you know, 843 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: and just printing money in ways we can't even fathom. 844 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,320 Speaker 1: You better give the American people some type of hope that, yeah, 845 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,279 Speaker 1: there is a way to rain this in, Like, all right, 846 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,839 Speaker 1: we're gonna tear if we're gonna do this, But the 847 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: next one, like you said in the fall, we're gonna 848 00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: start slashing the budget. 849 00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 3: I agree with you. I think those are the only 850 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 3: two ways. 851 00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, another. 852 00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 4: I don't want to just hammer on people on my 853 00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 4: own side, although I do feel like it's our responsibility 854 00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 4: to keep our own part. 855 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 2: Of the field clean, you know what I mean. 856 00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 4: And not like there are bad actors, but we got 857 00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 4: to hold each other. They accountable when things are right wrong. 858 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 4: But the left is stupid too, and quite a bit 859 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,239 Speaker 4: more stupid than the right is. Let's be clear about that. 860 00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 4: Like this whole idea from the left and neocons that 861 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:12,799 Speaker 4: tariffs are going to cause inflation. I think inflation was 862 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 4: one point eight three percent last month, Like fuck off, dude, 863 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 4: We're just like it's we know this not to be true. 864 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 4: And Jerome Palin needs to get fired out of a 865 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,759 Speaker 4: cannon into the sun or something like that. 866 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,240 Speaker 2: Guy's completely useless. 867 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,360 Speaker 4: But yeah, to your point about you know, giving people 868 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 4: wins is what it's about. They tried, by the way, 869 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 4: with the Brennan Comey stuff, Like they tried to put 870 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 4: that out the day after this, and like nobody is 871 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,400 Speaker 4: talking about that. Nobody on the right gives two fucks. 872 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:45,240 Speaker 4: And to be clear, they're both assholes. They both tried 873 00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:49,040 Speaker 4: to steal an election and get Trump thrown in prison. Right, 874 00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 4: there's no question about that. It's not treason because it 875 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,879 Speaker 4: doesn't involve a foreign adversary, but it's definitely something it's 876 00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 4: definitely a crime. 877 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:57,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 878 00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 4: So but that is that might be one of the 879 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 4: biggest conspiracies in the history of this country. And it 880 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,640 Speaker 4: just happened, and nobody's talking about it because they're so 881 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 4: pissed off about this, Right, so you're gonna have to 882 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 4: do something big, really, I mean, I like the terrorists. 883 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,719 Speaker 4: I think they're doing it. I think Trump. Trump's foreign 884 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:18,320 Speaker 4: policy so far has been great. Like, certainly he can't 885 00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,560 Speaker 4: control Zelenski or putin people give a little bit of 886 00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 4: shit for the Rush of Ukraine thing, But literally everything 887 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 4: else he's done, from dealing with Mody and India to 888 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 4: dealing with net and Yahoo and keeping that lunatic from 889 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,480 Speaker 4: going completely full retard, you know what I mean, because 890 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,680 Speaker 4: you know that he's he's managing a lot foreign policy wise, 891 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 4: and I think he's mostly made the right decisions there, 892 00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,400 Speaker 4: so I have no complaints about that. But you know, 893 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 4: wins have to be big and they have to be 894 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,240 Speaker 4: personal right for people to care. If it's the country 895 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,240 Speaker 4: winning a war, that means something people. His approval ratings 896 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 4: went up after that Iranian bombing, not down right, but 897 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 4: since June, since the end of June, they've gone down 898 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,120 Speaker 4: ten points because of the beautiful Bill and because of 899 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,480 Speaker 4: this Epstein shit. So he's not stupid, He's a smart man. 900 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,600 Speaker 4: I think he'll probably figure something out here in the meantime. 901 00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 4: But I think he also knows that they got to 902 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:15,640 Speaker 4: cut a lot of spending sometime soon, right probably in September, 903 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,080 Speaker 4: because I don't think you'll have another chance to do 904 00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,279 Speaker 4: it after that, and you have to give people individual 905 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 4: wins somehow. 906 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 2: I don't know what his plan is on that. 907 00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:25,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, neither do I. 908 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be certainly fascinating to see the next 909 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
