WEBVTT - Buck Brief - Michael Malice 0:00:11.697 --> 0:00:14.937 You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure 0:00:14.977 --> 0:00:17.977 you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeartRadio app or 0:00:18.017 --> 0:00:21.537 wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, welcome to the Buck Brief. 0:00:21.777 --> 0:00:24.377 A friend, Michael Malice is back in the mix. He 0:00:24.737 --> 0:00:27.417 is the author of the excellent book The White Pill 0:00:27.497 --> 0:00:32.137 and also the host of You're Welcome with Michael Malice. Michael, 0:00:32.177 --> 0:00:36.297 great to see you again, sir. Tell me what's what's 0:00:36.337 --> 0:00:38.817 your response because people are going to be watching and 0:00:38.857 --> 0:00:41.617 listening to this right after the first round of results 0:00:41.617 --> 0:00:44.417 has come in from Iowa. You surprised? It all about 0:00:44.457 --> 0:00:46.697 what's happening in American politics? What do you see happening. 0:00:48.417 --> 0:00:51.617 I'm a little surprised because there was a question about 0:00:51.657 --> 0:00:54.217 whether the establishment will be able to get enough support 0:00:54.377 --> 0:00:58.097 to at least put a dent into stuff into Trump's momentum, 0:00:58.657 --> 0:01:01.177 especially with you know, putting man these kind of suburban 0:01:01.217 --> 0:01:04.777 swing voters. I think it was obviously, you know, a 0:01:04.897 --> 0:01:07.777 very decisive victory for him. Remember you know, he lost Iowa, 0:01:07.857 --> 0:01:10.537 came in second in twenty sixteen. This seem to be 0:01:10.577 --> 0:01:14.257 a path for him. And I also think it's really 0:01:14.457 --> 0:01:16.537 my favorite thing. I think Trump is much better as 0:01:16.577 --> 0:01:20.737 a candidate than as a president, and especially because he 0:01:20.857 --> 0:01:25.417 causes his opponents to degenerate into the stupidest, like juvenile 0:01:25.737 --> 0:01:28.977 versions of themselves. So seeing that play out in social 0:01:29.017 --> 0:01:32.297 media and in the corporate press is something that is 0:01:32.377 --> 0:01:34.377 kind of enjoyable to watch. And I missed that from 0:01:34.417 --> 0:01:35.137 twenty fifteen. 0:01:36.817 --> 0:01:37.417 Do you think. 0:01:37.217 --> 0:01:40.137 Trump is in a good spot to go all the 0:01:40.137 --> 0:01:42.097 way against Biden? I mean, the part of this that 0:01:42.137 --> 0:01:47.017 I can't seem to really fully get my hands wrapped 0:01:47.017 --> 0:01:50.817 around is they've got to know at some level that 0:01:51.137 --> 0:01:53.057 you know, the polls were right in Iowa, right, and 0:01:53.337 --> 0:01:56.577 the polls got they nailed it pretty much, and so 0:01:56.737 --> 0:01:59.777 the oh, you can't trust poles. You can't trust poles 0:01:59.777 --> 0:02:02.377 if people are playing games and everything's within three or 0:02:02.417 --> 0:02:04.377 four points, right, I mean, you know there are ways 0:02:04.377 --> 0:02:07.937 that there can be manipulation thirty points. If polsters can't 0:02:07.937 --> 0:02:10.297 get it right by that kind of number, and you know, 0:02:10.337 --> 0:02:12.737 then there's no reason for that repolling. My question to you, Michael, 0:02:12.857 --> 0:02:16.697 is Biden's behind in every state that matters, right, in 0:02:16.737 --> 0:02:19.577 every state that's up for grabs to Trump right now, 0:02:19.617 --> 0:02:22.577 before Trump's even the nominee. What's their game? Going to 0:02:22.617 --> 0:02:25.017 be like, are are they just? Are they in an 0:02:25.057 --> 0:02:29.177 impossible situation? What do you see the Democrats doing well? 0:02:29.217 --> 0:02:31.937 I mean Trump was behind you know, everywhere that mattered 0:02:32.017 --> 0:02:34.177 in twenty sixteen as well, and he pulled it out. 0:02:34.577 --> 0:02:37.577 So you know, you all remember, I mean twenty twenty 0:02:37.577 --> 0:02:39.817 two was supposed to be this red tsunami and that 0:02:39.857 --> 0:02:42.537 didn't end up happening. So just because Biden's behind every 0:02:42.577 --> 0:02:44.817 state now, if you want to look at it, if 0:02:44.857 --> 0:02:47.337 you want to really put on your old person hat, 0:02:47.537 --> 0:02:49.457 go back to nineteen eighty at this point, I think 0:02:49.577 --> 0:02:52.297 Carter was just completely clopper and Raven Reagan, and he 0:02:52.337 --> 0:02:55.217 obviously was decimated come November, so we have a long 0:02:55.257 --> 0:02:59.097 way to go. I also think people underestimate what Democratic 0:02:59.137 --> 0:03:01.777 tricks they have up their sleeve. I don't mean particularly 0:03:01.817 --> 0:03:04.457 the Biden campaign, but you do have this whole media 0:03:04.897 --> 0:03:08.457 and legal apparatus designed to keep President Trump from returning 0:03:08.457 --> 0:03:11.457 to the Oval office. So who knows who's going to 0:03:11.497 --> 0:03:14.137 start getting arrested and imprisoned between now November. 0:03:13.777 --> 0:03:14.617 At the very least. 0:03:14.897 --> 0:03:17.617 The other thing that scares me is there's a big 0:03:17.697 --> 0:03:22.497 incentive now for Biden to escalate war because historically, speaking 0:03:22.617 --> 0:03:25.657 as at the very beginnings of Wars, that tends to 0:03:25.897 --> 0:03:28.817 enormously improve the approval ratings of the commander in chief. 0:03:29.217 --> 0:03:31.137 So the fact that this is one of the few 0:03:31.177 --> 0:03:35.217 actions he can take that would possibly result in better 0:03:35.257 --> 0:03:37.817 standing for him in the polls is something that I 0:03:37.817 --> 0:03:39.417 think is very disheartening. 0:03:38.937 --> 0:03:39.497 To think about. 0:03:40.337 --> 0:03:43.257 What do you think about what's going on in Ukraine? 0:03:43.817 --> 0:03:48.337 And did you see this guy coach Redpill, who used 0:03:48.337 --> 0:03:52.017 to do this kind of like alpha male coaching stuff 0:03:52.097 --> 0:03:55.137 on YouTube. And I've seen some of his videos before. 0:03:55.737 --> 0:03:57.737 Some of what he said I can't speak to, you know, 0:03:57.777 --> 0:03:59.017 I don't know the guys, but some of what he 0:03:59.057 --> 0:04:02.417 said I said, Oh, this guy's actually making some interesting points. 0:04:02.937 --> 0:04:05.097 I've seen maybe one or two clips of his videos 0:04:05.097 --> 0:04:06.817 in the past. Anyway, he was in custody in Ukraine. 0:04:06.857 --> 0:04:10.937 He's an American citizen, he is dead. What's going on there? 0:04:11.097 --> 0:04:13.377 And what do you think is happening in Ukraine overall? 0:04:13.417 --> 0:04:16.497 Because I'll just say this, I don't see a lot 0:04:16.577 --> 0:04:19.857 of people hang in Ukraine flags out their windows anymore, 0:04:19.897 --> 0:04:22.297 almost like it was for some people a fashion, because 0:04:22.297 --> 0:04:23.937 I would think that now more than ever, they would 0:04:23.937 --> 0:04:26.697 want to be all in, yeah. 0:04:26.537 --> 0:04:29.817 I think we don't really know what's going on Ukraine. 0:04:29.857 --> 0:04:32.177 And we can't really know because at the very least, 0:04:32.217 --> 0:04:34.137 even if you take everything at things value and think 0:04:34.137 --> 0:04:38.537 people have good, honest motivations, the opponents are still watching 0:04:38.577 --> 0:04:41.017 the same news everybody else is, So the very least. 0:04:40.857 --> 0:04:42.577 You're gonna have to play cards close to your chest. 0:04:42.417 --> 0:04:44.977 Because you don't want to give the opposing forces too 0:04:45.097 --> 0:04:48.057 much information. I think it's become very clear that for 0:04:48.097 --> 0:04:51.137 a long time Zaviansky wanted to on some level cut 0:04:51.137 --> 0:04:53.137 some kind of deal with Putin, and he had some 0:04:53.217 --> 0:04:55.857 gun to his head went from the US, NATO or 0:04:55.937 --> 0:04:58.937 other European countries, who knows. And I think the fact 0:04:58.977 --> 0:05:02.217 that this is kind of now becoming quietly spoken about 0:05:02.257 --> 0:05:06.297 as a possibility is at least something to hope for 0:05:06.697 --> 0:05:10.537 in terms of minimizing civilian casualties on both sides. Of course, 0:05:10.777 --> 0:05:12.657 the guy you mentioned, coach red Bill, he did follow 0:05:12.697 --> 0:05:15.217 me on Twitter. I did not know his work, And 0:05:15.257 --> 0:05:18.297 whenever you hear of an American citizen, you know, being 0:05:18.377 --> 0:05:21.737 murdered abroad, it's just it's obviously very disheartening, and especially 0:05:21.737 --> 0:05:24.737 how little seems to have been done about it if 0:05:24.817 --> 0:05:27.737 maybe if he had been some kind of lgbt's athlete, 0:05:27.817 --> 0:05:30.897 then Divide administration would have been much more worked up 0:05:31.177 --> 0:05:34.377 to and motivated to bring him home safely. But it's 0:05:34.417 --> 0:05:36.577 it's it's it's tough when you hear stories like this, 0:05:36.737 --> 0:05:39.097 especially with someone who's has a little bit of a 0:05:39.177 --> 0:05:42.137 name and then who didn't seem to be particularly a 0:05:42.257 --> 0:05:43.097 nefarious person. 0:05:43.537 --> 0:05:45.097 Now you're from that part of the world, right, I 0:05:45.097 --> 0:05:46.777 mean for our audience, so ever knows. I mean you 0:05:46.777 --> 0:05:49.497 you grew didn't you grow up in what was the 0:05:49.537 --> 0:05:50.377 city you were born in? 0:05:51.777 --> 0:05:56.177 I grew up in this obscure town called Brooklyn. I 0:05:56.217 --> 0:05:57.857 have heard of it. I was born in Ukraine. I 0:05:57.937 --> 0:05:59.177 left there when I was one and a half. 0:05:59.217 --> 0:06:02.617 So okay, yeah, but you were I'm right, maybe look 0:06:02.617 --> 0:06:04.297 at me like I'm crazy. You were born in Ukraine. 0:06:04.337 --> 0:06:05.897 I just think that's an interesting factory. 0:06:06.977 --> 0:06:07.977 I was born in Ukraine. 0:06:08.017 --> 0:06:11.377 That that's true, but I obviously have any memory of 0:06:11.417 --> 0:06:14.697 it whatsoever, and obviously not that you're saying otherwise. 0:06:14.937 --> 0:06:17.617 The Ukraine of the seventies is you know, complete and. 0:06:17.897 --> 0:06:21.297 Uh yeah, totally different from from over doing now. I 0:06:21.417 --> 0:06:22.937 was just I was just pointing at ox I thought 0:06:22.937 --> 0:06:25.577 it was an interesting factor. It like, you know something 0:06:25.617 --> 0:06:29.417 that people you know wouldn't necessarily know because actually you 0:06:29.497 --> 0:06:31.657 grew up here in America and obviously don't speak with 0:06:31.697 --> 0:06:34.657 an accent or anything. But how do we end that 0:06:34.697 --> 0:06:35.057 whole thing? 0:06:35.097 --> 0:06:35.257 Though? 0:06:35.297 --> 0:06:37.057 Because one thing that I've seen is, you know, Trump 0:06:37.137 --> 0:06:39.817 has said I'll end it on day one, and everyone's like, yeah, 0:06:39.817 --> 0:06:42.617 I'll end it on day one. Okay, Well, how like 0:06:42.657 --> 0:06:44.617 what does it look? What does ended look like? 0:06:44.657 --> 0:06:47.897 To you? Yeah, I'm gonna be a little pedantic when 0:06:47.897 --> 0:06:48.777 you say, how do we end it? 0:06:48.817 --> 0:06:50.937 I don't think we end it? I think they end 0:06:50.977 --> 0:06:51.337 it right. 0:06:51.377 --> 0:06:53.257 I think this is very much that's a fair point. 0:06:53.297 --> 0:06:55.217 How do they end it right? 0:06:55.257 --> 0:06:56.977 I think it's gonna be very much a matter of 0:06:57.057 --> 0:07:02.097 Putin and Zudinsky and other Eastern European leaders and Central 0:07:02.137 --> 0:07:06.257 European leaders sitting down and cutting a deal. I think 0:07:06.417 --> 0:07:09.697 Putin is going to end up with some gains. I 0:07:09.737 --> 0:07:13.177 think that is in some ways a bad message to send. 0:07:13.697 --> 0:07:15.737 I think NATO is going to be expanded, which is 0:07:15.777 --> 0:07:18.417 also something not particularly in favor of. And when you 0:07:18.457 --> 0:07:22.337 start having these kind of backdoor international treaties, it really 0:07:22.417 --> 0:07:25.097 hurts the sovereignty of our individual country. And my big 0:07:25.137 --> 0:07:28.577 concern is that Biden or whoever the next president might be, 0:07:29.137 --> 0:07:31.417 is going to lock us into more of these treaties 0:07:31.457 --> 0:07:34.377 that's going to impose the need to have American troops 0:07:34.417 --> 0:07:36.177 on the ground in places they should never step foot 0:07:36.177 --> 0:07:36.617 and begin with. 0:07:37.777 --> 0:07:40.897 So that's yeah, I think that there's going to have 0:07:40.937 --> 0:07:43.417 to be a negotiated settlement to this and end to it. 0:07:45.217 --> 0:07:48.017 What is your biggest concern for America these days? 0:07:50.097 --> 0:07:53.377 My biggest concern for There's a lot. That's a great, 0:07:53.417 --> 0:07:57.337 great question. I think the metrics are going in a 0:07:57.457 --> 0:08:02.737 positive direction in every sense almost. But my biggest concern, 0:08:03.017 --> 0:08:05.257 and I think this is something that pretty much everyone 0:08:05.257 --> 0:08:07.337 watching this is going to agree with, is some sort 0:08:07.377 --> 0:08:11.217 of World War three escalation in fighting in China, We're 0:08:11.217 --> 0:08:13.657 fighting in the Middle East, We're fighting in Eastern Europe, 0:08:14.097 --> 0:08:16.977 maybe even in South America. I think there is an 0:08:17.137 --> 0:08:21.817 enormous center of power in Washington and elsewhere that would 0:08:21.817 --> 0:08:24.217 love for this to happen. I think Nikki Haley is 0:08:24.257 --> 0:08:26.697 clearly their candidate who was championing at the bit for 0:08:26.737 --> 0:08:29.017 this to happen, and that is something that is my 0:08:29.017 --> 0:08:30.057 biggest concern for America. 0:08:30.177 --> 0:08:32.697 No question that that was funny. It was gonna be 0:08:32.697 --> 0:08:34.057 my next question. I mean, do you think that the 0:08:35.257 --> 0:08:37.097 I was gonna ask you, Nikki Haley? Let me brought 0:08:37.097 --> 0:08:39.217 it out a little bit. You'll often hear from people 0:08:39.257 --> 0:08:44.457 on the right who are I think, generally very in 0:08:44.537 --> 0:08:49.657 touch with the mentality and psychology of the base. They'll 0:08:49.697 --> 0:08:53.337 say that there is a war contingent of the GOP 0:08:53.617 --> 0:08:57.857 and then it is as straightforward as they get their 0:08:57.977 --> 0:09:02.337 jollys from the exertion of American power on the global stage, 0:09:02.457 --> 0:09:07.657 and they like all those stock options from Boeing, Raytheon, 0:09:07.737 --> 0:09:10.297 et cetera. Do you do you think, I mean, is 0:09:10.337 --> 0:09:12.617 that how real is that? I know there's some truth 0:09:12.617 --> 0:09:14.377 that obviously Nicky Hello is on the board of Boeing, 0:09:14.857 --> 0:09:17.417 But is that an oversimplification in your mind or is 0:09:17.457 --> 0:09:19.377 that actually just scratching at the surface of it. 0:09:20.977 --> 0:09:24.217 No, they're also sociopaths who are power hungry and enjoy 0:09:24.257 --> 0:09:27.417 the idea of being imperilests without having to have that 0:09:27.497 --> 0:09:30.697 label attached to them. So when you're bombing other countries 0:09:30.697 --> 0:09:32.577 overseas and you get to call yourself the good guy, 0:09:33.217 --> 0:09:35.097 I think it kind of feeds off to that power. 0:09:35.257 --> 0:09:37.697 But I do think you know, you know, eisenhowerre very 0:09:37.697 --> 0:09:39.817 famously warned about this. The war machine has been going 0:09:39.857 --> 0:09:43.377 on for a long time. Liz Cheney needs a third house. 0:09:43.537 --> 0:09:46.457 So if your sons and daughters have to be slaughtered overseas, 0:09:46.457 --> 0:09:49.537 that's just too darn bad. And the thing is why 0:09:49.617 --> 0:09:53.017 I think these people are malevolent is because there's never 0:09:53.057 --> 0:09:56.177 this sense of you know, what we you know, bungled it. 0:09:56.217 --> 0:09:58.857 Last time, Maybe we should think twice the second time. 0:09:58.937 --> 0:10:01.057 Right. It's like if you and I, you know, opened 0:10:01.057 --> 0:10:03.897 a restaurant and the restaurant folded, we'd be like, all right, 0:10:03.897 --> 0:10:06.217 before we open another restaurant, what did we do wrong? 0:10:06.297 --> 0:10:09.737 Let's engineer this. You know, something didn't happen correctly. 0:10:10.057 --> 0:10:12.817 If there's never this reflection, there's never this sense of, oh, 0:10:12.817 --> 0:10:14.497 you know, on our way out Afghanistan, we killed a 0:10:14.537 --> 0:10:15.377 bunch of kids. 0:10:15.617 --> 0:10:16.097 Oops. 0:10:16.337 --> 0:10:18.897 I mean, no one even got fired, let alone reprimanded 0:10:18.977 --> 0:10:21.857 for killing innocent children. So I mean, when you speak 0:10:21.897 --> 0:10:24.217 about levels of evil, that's the kind of thing where 0:10:24.217 --> 0:10:26.337 it's just something that's beyond what you and I are. 0:10:26.377 --> 0:10:29.457 Pretty much anyone listening to this would wrap. 0:10:29.257 --> 0:10:32.777 Their heads around. These people are far closer to you know, 0:10:33.537 --> 0:10:36.097 Jeffrey Epstein than to mister Smith goes to Washington. 0:10:37.377 --> 0:10:40.697 Well, let's come back and discuss a little more about 0:10:41.177 --> 0:10:43.617 the trajectory of the GOP and also maybe we can 0:10:43.617 --> 0:10:44.937 get you to tell me some of the things you 0:10:44.977 --> 0:10:46.817 think are going in the right direction these days, because 0:10:46.857 --> 0:10:49.537 you mentioned that. But first up, you know, artificial intelligence 0:10:49.577 --> 0:10:51.937 dominates the headlines of the tech world. The impact of 0:10:51.977 --> 0:10:55.217 AI is undeniable. But according to tech expert Colin teed Arts, 0:10:55.577 --> 0:10:57.417 this is just the beginning of a new era that 0:10:57.457 --> 0:10:59.417 could make you wealthier than ever before. But you have 0:10:59.497 --> 0:11:02.217 to act in the right information. In Colin's mind, there's 0:11:02.217 --> 0:11:04.417 one mega tech company that is all in on AI. 0:11:04.817 --> 0:11:06.697 This company has spent over two hundred billion dollars in 0:11:06.737 --> 0:11:09.537 their AI project. Think about that, two hundred billion dollars 0:11:09.577 --> 0:11:12.857 with a B. The CEO says that AI will impact everything. 0:11:13.177 --> 0:11:15.817 Through Collins knowledge, He's found a little known supplier that's 0:11:15.857 --> 0:11:18.577 giving a key piece of technology to make all this 0:11:18.697 --> 0:11:22.577 new AI possible. He's confident anyone who gets shares in 0:11:22.617 --> 0:11:25.937 this supplier could see massive gains. Get all the details 0:11:26.017 --> 0:11:30.057 online at this website New AI project dot com. Is 0:11:30.097 --> 0:11:32.937 this a once in a lifetime opportunity, you decide new 0:11:33.097 --> 0:11:39.697 aiproject dot com paid for by Brownstone Research, so you 0:11:39.817 --> 0:11:42.017 have these I mean one of the things that I 0:11:42.097 --> 0:11:45.577 find I think you brought up a really necessary point, 0:11:45.737 --> 0:11:49.817 and it's we've seen what happens when we try to 0:11:49.897 --> 0:11:54.897 do these wars abroad. It has not worked because we 0:11:55.017 --> 0:11:58.497 actually aren't a true imperialist country. We're not doing mercantilism. 0:11:58.497 --> 0:12:00.977 We're not just showing up, you know, taking all the 0:12:01.017 --> 0:12:03.537 diamonds or taking all the oil and then figuring out 0:12:03.577 --> 0:12:07.217 how to pacify things afterwards. And so the lack of 0:12:07.737 --> 0:12:12.657 strategic vision for this stuff I think is very obvious 0:12:12.697 --> 0:12:15.657 because of the failures. But by the same token, you 0:12:15.777 --> 0:12:18.697 get people that get away with going on TV and saying, yeah, 0:12:18.777 --> 0:12:21.657 Ukraine and Russia are locked in this trench warfare. I 0:12:21.657 --> 0:12:24.657 think it's literal trench warfare in some parts of the front. 0:12:25.377 --> 0:12:27.697 But if we don't do everything to keep this war 0:12:27.777 --> 0:12:30.857 going against Russia, they're going to roll through Poland and 0:12:30.977 --> 0:12:34.937 Germany and France, etc. How is that something that anyone 0:12:35.017 --> 0:12:37.177 can say with a straight face. They say it all 0:12:37.217 --> 0:12:37.617 the time. 0:12:39.017 --> 0:12:40.897 Well, I'll give you an even better example. 0:12:40.977 --> 0:12:44.097 There were over fifty intelligence officials that claim that Hunter's 0:12:44.137 --> 0:12:48.497 laptop had hallmarks of Russian disinformation. Now, if I was 0:12:48.537 --> 0:12:51.697 a media outlet and I repeated this with a straight 0:12:51.737 --> 0:12:54.937 face because I'm not an expert on Russian misinformation, I'll 0:12:54.977 --> 0:12:58.577 defer to experts. People have you know, inside knowledge. And 0:12:58.617 --> 0:13:00.737 when I get if I got burned that badly by 0:13:00.777 --> 0:13:03.137 all of them, I would never have them on my 0:13:03.177 --> 0:13:05.697 show again because I'm like, you know what, I trusted you. 0:13:05.697 --> 0:13:07.977 You made me look like a fool. But that's not 0:13:08.057 --> 0:13:08.497 the case. 0:13:08.857 --> 0:13:11.697 So the reason is these people never have consequences for 0:13:11.817 --> 0:13:15.017 their lives and depravity because they're in bed with these 0:13:15.057 --> 0:13:17.377 media outlets because they're saying what the people behind the 0:13:17.377 --> 0:13:20.057 media outlets want them to say. So there's no sense 0:13:20.057 --> 0:13:22.537 of accountability. And that's the one good thing. Excuse me, 0:13:22.657 --> 0:13:24.817 that's one that one of the great things about social 0:13:24.857 --> 0:13:28.217 media is now in real time you can fact check 0:13:28.257 --> 0:13:31.777 their lives and propaganda that people think are coming to 0:13:31.857 --> 0:13:35.377 understand that people in the military who are you know, 0:13:35.577 --> 0:13:39.897 historically revered often themselves have an agenda that is not 0:13:40.297 --> 0:13:41.857 in line with America's interests. 0:13:42.177 --> 0:13:44.577 Do you think and I mean this in the sense 0:13:44.617 --> 0:13:48.497 of recent as in maybe the last six to twelve months. 0:13:49.057 --> 0:13:54.057 Do you see the legacy corporate media losing ground and 0:13:54.177 --> 0:13:58.297 under pressure in ways that we never really have before. 0:13:58.777 --> 0:14:02.417 Have we entered a new phase? Is that too strong? 0:14:02.657 --> 0:14:05.177 How would you gauge where things are with that? 0:14:06.377 --> 0:14:09.217 We are in a new phase specifically because of one 0:14:09.257 --> 0:14:12.337 feature on one social media website, which is community notes 0:14:12.377 --> 0:14:14.537 on Twitter. So for those of you who have lives 0:14:14.537 --> 0:14:16.977 of like Buck and myself, who aren't spending all your 0:14:17.057 --> 0:14:20.297 days on Twitter, how it works is New York Times, 0:14:20.377 --> 0:14:23.417 CBS News, some other outlet sends out a tweet that 0:14:23.497 --> 0:14:25.777 is about an article or you know, interview or something 0:14:25.817 --> 0:14:28.937 like that. If they lie in that article or story, 0:14:29.017 --> 0:14:32.257 the community, the Twitter community, can put a community note 0:14:32.457 --> 0:14:35.377 that fact checks the story, and the notes always written 0:14:35.417 --> 0:14:37.497 objective language. It's not like Trump's the best. It's like 0:14:37.977 --> 0:14:40.697 they are claiming this, These are the facts and here 0:14:40.697 --> 0:14:43.417 are the links. So this is happening in real time 0:14:43.497 --> 0:14:47.257 constantly that as soon as they put out some propaganda, 0:14:47.537 --> 0:14:50.297 they are called on it immediately. So to be to 0:14:50.337 --> 0:14:52.737 have that microphone, imagine you and I are giving a 0:14:52.737 --> 0:14:55.737 speech and you're promoting your candidates around, promoting mine, and 0:14:55.817 --> 0:14:58.377 as soon as you, as a politician say something, someone 0:14:58.417 --> 0:15:01.057 interrupts it goes. Actually, Buck, when he was governor, he 0:15:01.097 --> 0:15:05.617 increased spending. Immediately, your capacity to persuade people and manipulate 0:15:05.657 --> 0:15:08.297 them is nipped in the bud. So this is something 0:15:08.297 --> 0:15:10.857 that is unprecedented. In the same way I can imagine 0:15:10.857 --> 0:15:13.217 growing up, if you're watching the evening news at dinner 0:15:13.257 --> 0:15:16.617 with the family and on TV, as Dan rathers line, 0:15:16.737 --> 0:15:18.697 it would just fact check him. This is something that 0:15:18.897 --> 0:15:20.937 would never have happened before, and it's happening now in 0:15:20.977 --> 0:15:22.937 real time, and we have Elon must. 0:15:22.697 --> 0:15:23.217 To think for this. 0:15:23.937 --> 0:15:27.537 Yeah, I think that people. And I just read actually 0:15:27.577 --> 0:15:31.377 the Isaacson biography of Elon and it gave me a 0:15:31.377 --> 0:15:33.657 little more. I knew a fair amount about his career, 0:15:33.657 --> 0:15:38.057 but more of the backstory, particularly on SpaceX, than I 0:15:38.057 --> 0:15:42.017 had had before. And he's a guy right now who 0:15:42.057 --> 0:15:44.497 is doing I think it would be hard for me 0:15:44.537 --> 0:15:46.657 to make the case that there's anyone who is doing 0:15:47.497 --> 0:15:50.977 more of benefit to human truly of benefit to humanity 0:15:51.017 --> 0:15:52.977 on a global level than Elon Musk. And it's interesting 0:15:53.017 --> 0:15:55.457 because because of what you just said, now the left 0:15:55.457 --> 0:15:57.177 has turned on him right now now, a lot of 0:15:57.217 --> 0:15:59.617 people that used to be pro elon because he has 0:16:00.097 --> 0:16:03.977 bought Twitter and allow and calls it X. Now they 0:16:04.177 --> 0:16:06.497 don't care about the fact that he's doing more for 0:16:06.617 --> 0:16:11.257 electric cars and doing more for space exploration and battery technology, 0:16:11.257 --> 0:16:13.337 et cetera, et cetera than anyone else in. 0:16:13.257 --> 0:16:17.177 The world, because it's never been about SpaceX and battery power. 0:16:17.217 --> 0:16:19.577 It's always been about power and that's all that matters. 0:16:19.617 --> 0:16:21.577 And I would remind people that you know, always complain, 0:16:21.657 --> 0:16:24.017 oh my, so many people are against me. It's never 0:16:24.017 --> 0:16:27.337 about having majority's about having an alternative. And everyone listening 0:16:27.377 --> 0:16:30.457 to this, remember, for decades people are having strokes and 0:16:30.457 --> 0:16:33.177 heart attacks because Fox News and Roger Hailes, there was 0:16:33.257 --> 0:16:36.377 one network on cable that had any sort of alternative 0:16:36.937 --> 0:16:40.857 to the overwhelming progressive corporate propaganda elsewhere, not that Fox 0:16:40.857 --> 0:16:43.337 didn't have its own sense of propaganda. And now they 0:16:43.337 --> 0:16:45.857 would wish to go back to a time where the 0:16:45.977 --> 0:16:49.297 furthest right, and only alternative people had was Fox News. 0:16:49.537 --> 0:16:52.177 So we're going in a very positive direction in terms 0:16:52.217 --> 0:16:56.377 of people having alternative alternatives to the official corporate media narrative. 0:16:56.857 --> 0:16:58.777 And that is one of the reasons I'm so hopeful 0:16:58.817 --> 0:17:00.457 for the future of this country. 0:17:00.937 --> 0:17:02.657 I want to push more on that or get get 0:17:02.697 --> 0:17:05.377 more into that. Michael. His book is the white Pill everybody, 0:17:05.377 --> 0:17:07.537 and a white pill is a thing that is good, 0:17:07.577 --> 0:17:10.737 that makes you feel optimistic. Right, So the opposite of 0:17:10.777 --> 0:17:13.577 taking the like, well, the red pill is eye opening, right, 0:17:13.617 --> 0:17:15.977 black pill is like everything is terrible. It isn't this 0:17:15.977 --> 0:17:18.937 how this goes? I have my everything. 0:17:18.937 --> 0:17:21.897 What it's a rap, it's a wrap. It's not just terrible. 0:17:21.937 --> 0:17:23.177 It's done. Like there's no hope. 0:17:23.297 --> 0:17:25.337 Oh yeah, no, no hope. Right, Okay, black pills, there's 0:17:25.337 --> 0:17:27.337 no hope. White pill is there's hope. We'll talk about 0:17:27.377 --> 0:17:29.617 that in just a second, and Michael can close us 0:17:29.617 --> 0:17:32.177 out on a positive note there. But at twenty twenty four, 0:17:32.177 --> 0:17:33.297 and look a lot of people are trying to get 0:17:33.297 --> 0:17:36.097 their finances in order. There's some great news for new homeowners. 0:17:36.137 --> 0:17:38.217 Interest rates have dropped and now they're in the fives, 0:17:38.257 --> 0:17:40.137 a lot lower than they were last year. So if 0:17:40.177 --> 0:17:43.017 you've been buried in high interest credit card debt and 0:17:43.057 --> 0:17:45.857 now's the time to break free, American Financing can help 0:17:45.897 --> 0:17:47.777 you access the cash in your home to pay off 0:17:47.817 --> 0:17:50.497 your high interest debt.

So positive things. 0:18:24.697 --> 0:18:27.257 You mentioned this, things moving the right direction in this country. 0:18:27.577 --> 0:18:30.897 Elon X community notes, that's great. What else do you 0:18:30.937 --> 0:18:34.097 see that's making you think it's not all over yet? 0:18:34.417 --> 0:18:37.297 That we're taking on the universities. Finally, I've been champing. 0:18:37.377 --> 0:18:40.537 I've been yelling about this for years. I would tell 0:18:40.577 --> 0:18:43.657 everyone listening to this, who would you rather have on 0:18:43.737 --> 0:18:45.697 the Supreme Court if you had to have between these 0:18:45.737 --> 0:18:49.617 two choices, nine random Democratic senators or nine members of 0:18:49.617 --> 0:18:52.017 the New York Times editorial board, And then ask yourself, 0:18:52.057 --> 0:18:54.137 who would you rather have? Nine members of New York 0:18:54.137 --> 0:18:58.497 Times EDITORI board or nine Harvard Social Studies social social 0:18:58.497 --> 0:19:01.977 studies professors. It's very obvious who are the most depraved 0:19:02.057 --> 0:19:05.617 people in this situation, who are the least accountable, and 0:19:05.657 --> 0:19:08.457 who have been the most cocooned from. 0:19:08.297 --> 0:19:10.057 Having to take on any hits or any damn. 0:19:10.577 --> 0:19:13.377 Now that the fight is being taken directly to the universities, 0:19:13.417 --> 0:19:16.177 which is where all the poisoning starts, which are really 0:19:16.377 --> 0:19:19.897 the kind of hives of the worst people and the 0:19:19.937 --> 0:19:23.977 worst ideas in this country. That is why I'm so excited. 0:19:24.177 --> 0:19:28.337 For decades the fight was in Washington, where media journalists 0:19:28.417 --> 0:19:31.417 just lob bombs without any kind of pushback because they're 0:19:31.457 --> 0:19:34.537 in their barricades, and behind them was the university system. 0:19:34.777 --> 0:19:37.137 And now that we've stormed those first two breaches and 0:19:37.177 --> 0:19:39.897
