If you're watching 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: this on YouTube, you'll see exactly why. But mister Reeboy 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: honored to have you on the program. Sir, what is 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: it tell me about Late Republic nonsense? That's an interesting 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: title for a substacker. Are we the Late Republic? And 12 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: what kind of nonsense is going on? 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: We are indeed the Late Republic? Thanks for having me on. 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: It was a name that came to me because nothing 15 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: else seemed even remotely as appropriate. I think, I mean, 16 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 2: I thought for years that we're in the kind of 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: late Republic period, and you know, when I started saying it, 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: people thought I was crazy. But at this point I 19 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 2: don't think there were be all that much pushback. And 20 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 2: the nonsense part is like, these are the things that 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: that happen when you start talking, you know, when when 22 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: it seems like the form of government and uh and 23 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: and the the the things that we used to take 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 2: for granted, really about about our union, and about uh, 25 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 2: you know, comedy and civility and and and the things 26 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 2: that we all thought we agreed on or maybe haven't 27 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: in in quite a long time. I mean, at some 28 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: point it's going to reach it's you know, it's at 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: some point it's it's going to reach the end. And 30 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 2: I think that talking about it and talking about why 31 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: these problems are are you know, maybe seem insurmountable is 32 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: the only way that we can really face them and 33 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: and and uh and do something about it. 34 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: How did we get to this point? What happened? Because 35 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: I do often talk to friends of mine, my peers 36 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: about how it didn't seem like maybe everyone has nostalgia 37 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: for the era of their youth, but it felt like 38 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: in the nineties we were arguing over things, but we 39 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: were arguing over things from roughly the same side of 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: the world viewpoint. I can't really explain it better than 41 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: it felt like we used to be arguing more over, 42 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: you know, the tax code and things that didn't necessarily 43 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: go to the heart of the republic itself and maybe 44 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: undermine it, maybe kick at the load bearing walls of civilization. 45 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: What happened? 46 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 2: Right, well, I mean, that's that's that's a question that 47 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: has about a million different possible answers going back as 48 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: far as as you know you'd like to go back. 49 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 2: There are people who say that the problem is ingrained 50 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: in liberalism and the enlightenment itself. You know, it's it's uh, 51 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: there is a there's a propensity for this stuff. Let's say, 52 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 2: this openness to self destruct given enough time and and 53 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 2: and you know, the passage of enough uh, you know, 54 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: enough generations. I mean, I think trying to figure out 55 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 2: where the problem started is almost pointless because we're not 56 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: going to rewind, and we're not going to go back, 57 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 2: and there's no time machine to go back into, uh 58 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: and to necessarily fix it. But what we're dealing with 59 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 2: is the fact that we have two completely different conceptions 60 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: of justice. I mean, that's the that's the kind of 61 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: the basis, is that we understand justice differently between left 62 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: and right, and and that kind of has its expression 63 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: in every possible conceivable issue. 64 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: And I don't how do we conceive of justice and 65 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: how do they conceive of justice, David Well, I. 66 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 2: Mean, they conceive of justice as as as group justice, 67 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: and we see it as a kind of individual thing. 68 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: You know, if you or I did something, then you 69 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: or I did something. We believe in the fact that 70 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: justice is blind and you're judged on the things that 71 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: you do, not necessarily on the things that you are, 72 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: which is how Which is the other view of justice 73 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: that the left has, which is you know, you know, 74 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 2: we we call it collectivist, but you can call it 75 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: anything you want. I mean, at the end of the day, 76 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 2: it really matters to them if a perpetrator is black, 77 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: or if he's white, or if he's this, or if 78 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: he's that. You know, that is the thing that defined 79 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: you know, the characteristics is the thing that defines, you know, 80 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: the way justice necessarily is served. And that translates too 81 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 2: to politics, you know. I mean you see, like you know, 82 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 2: you've got you've got juries that in Washington, d C. 83 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: Or in Chicago or in you York City that would 84 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 2: convict a republic you know, that would put a Republican 85 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: to death for jaywalking. Because it's such a kind of 86 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: us versus them, you know, conception when it comes to 87 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: when it comes to justice and that's something that's really significant. Now, 88 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: that's not just something that you that you paper over. 89 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: And here we are. 90 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: When you talk about collectivists their collective sense of justice, 91 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: why does somebody want to be a collectivist or where 92 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: does this come from? Is it rooted in a sense 93 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: of one's own insufficiency, weakness and the paranoia that comes 94 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: from that, and therefore the desire to achieve stability and 95 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: even power through attachment to a group identity instead of 96 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: an individual identity. What it just seems to me, like, 97 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: why would anyone want to be a collectivist? 98 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean Thomas soul has about this in in 99 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: kind of a very beautiful persuasive way. In in uh, 100 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 2: I think it's the quest for cosmic justice where he 101 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 2: basically splits up human nature into two different types of uh, 102 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 2: you know, or let's say two where he splits people 103 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: into two different types of you know, the way they 104 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 2: deal with human nature. You know, one is fixed and 105 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: one is non fixed. So we who are who are 106 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 2: on the right, we say human nature is fixed. You know, 107 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 2: people are going to be people from one civilization to 108 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: the next. They're going to prioritize different things, but they're 109 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 2: going to be essentially people, They're going to be motivated 110 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: by the things that always motivate people, you know, whether 111 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: it's you know, religion or honor or the fact that 112 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 2: you know, we we we have a love of one's own, 113 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: which goes back, you know, to the beginning of time. 114 00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 2: The the unfixed position on the other hand, which just 115 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: you know, commonly we think of as left, they say, no, 116 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: you know, it's actually humanity is a blank slate which 117 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: comes from Rousseau, and we think that hey, we can 118 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: you know, we can socialize people out of all of 119 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: these horrible, bigoted, terrible ideas by getting them to you know, 120 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 2: by doing whatever, and you know, raising them differently, educating 121 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 2: them differently, you know, And you see this every day, 122 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 2: and then you see see the left going crazy, for example, 123 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: in Florida, where they can no longer necessarily have access 124 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: to kids to talk to kids about you know, about 125 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,559 Speaker 2: sexual issues. They're going crazy because they know that that's 126 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 2: their whole game. 127 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, what is that? I mean, the the ferocity 128 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: with which the institutional left and the activists of the 129 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: progressives and these are just all different words for democrats, right, 130 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: These are all different flavors of a democrat. But the 131 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: anger with which they approach the issue of stopping clearly 132 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: inappropriate and pornographic books from being assigned or handed to 133 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: grade school children, or even this this decision or this 134 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: idea that somehow allowing a you know, forty year old 135 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 1: man with a hairy chest to put on a wig, 136 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: a bunch of makeup, fishnet stockings, and shake his butt 137 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: in front of a room full of in many cases 138 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: parents with their children, which is also a whole other component. 139 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: When you say this is bad, they don't try to 140 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: persuade you, right, David. They don't say no, no, this 141 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: is a good thing, because they become ferociously angry, almost 142 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: like a demonic rage surges. What's that way? 143 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 2: In a way they have to be because oh, I'm 144 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: forgetting who said it, but somebody made an observation years 145 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: ago that was was excellent, which is that since the 146 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,319 Speaker 2: Civil rights struggle in America, or let's say, since the 147 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 2: the left was victorious in the Civil rights struggle in America, 148 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: everything became a civil rights struggle. And so now every 149 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: issue is framed in terms of you know, in terms 150 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,720 Speaker 2: of uh, you know, self expression and liberties and and 151 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: uh and you know, we talked about the next frontier 152 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 2: of groups that are you know, that are marginalized, that 153 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: are finally coming out of the shadows and and and 154 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: you know getting you know, getting full and equal uh 155 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: you know rights. And now we've gotten to the point 156 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 2: where we're talking about pedophiles coming out of the shadows. 157 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: We're talking about all kinds of weird, deviant, you know, 158 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 2: kind of crazy sexual stuff. I think they get angry when. 159 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: I think they get angry because at the end of 160 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 2: the day, they kind of have to be you know, 161 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: they there's a part of them that is human that 162 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: says this is totally wrong, and they're trying to convince 163 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: themselves with their furiosity that that they're on the side 164 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 2: of the good and the and the you know, the 165 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 2: good and the wholesome and and you know sort of 166 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 2: on the side of of the angels and the right. Yeah, 167 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 2: and so that's that's that's part of it. I mean. 168 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: The other thing is that a lot of people have 169 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 2: been shocked at how how comprehensively the left has folded 170 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: on the issue, for example, of of you know, minor 171 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 2: children being gender transitioned. 172 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: You know, there is not I always say about this, 173 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: David not interrupt you. But there is no such thing 174 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: as a gender transition. I have to remind every I know, 175 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: that's the terminology we're all supposed to use. There is 176 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: no gender transition. There is gender destruction. You can destroy 177 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: your genitalia, you can destroy your ability to have a 178 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: normal you know, endocrine function and reproductive system. I'm sure 179 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: you can destroy it. You cannot change it, though that 180 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: doesn't actually work. 181 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, but you know they will argue that there 182 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: is biology, and then there is sort of the ineffable 183 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: way you feel about your gender, which is your gender identity, 184 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: and your gender idem has absolutely nothing to do with, 185 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 2: you know, with with biological reality. And to say that 186 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 2: it does is you know, some kind of terrible, horrible thing. 187 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: I think they're amazing how the argument is is completely 188 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: incoherent because they say that gender, the gender reality, has 189 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: nothing to do with your sexual reality. Well, then why 190 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: do we have to match the sexual reality of children 191 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: to their gender identity? Right? They the connection, they disassociate it. 192 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: They can create these additional categories. But then they also 193 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 1: in insists that there is a connection that has to 194 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: be changed. Right, what's the why not if we're just 195 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: if we're just letting people be who they are, and 196 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: it's about psychological affirmation, then why do you have to 197 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: do the physical stuff and the other part of it. 198 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: I always talk to people about it. With this stuff too, 199 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: is no one actually thinks that these are women. Everybody 200 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: who goes along with this, and we're talking generally here 201 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: at about men, you know, biological men or boys who 202 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: try to transition to female. They're not fooling anybody. And eventually, 203 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: and even if they're able to fool some people in 204 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: some situations, you know, from a distance or with makeup 205 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: or with AI or whatever, eventually it becomes clear this 206 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: is not actually a woman. So why do we go 207 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: through this? But there's really something deeply corrupt in the 208 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: soul of the left and the Democrat Party these days 209 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: that I think this really exposed that. David. I want 210 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: to come back to this in a second. I actually 211 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: want to ask you speak of party politics. I know 212 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: you're you're very you have a lot of ideas about 213 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four election and where things should be 214 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: and where things are right now. So I want to 215 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 1: get into this. But first coming out this Tuesday, May 216 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: twenty third, in the morning, please join me online for 217 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: an exclusive interview with an extraordinary market analyst, my dad, 218 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: Mason Sexton. That's right, my dad's going to be talking 219 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: about the great Disruption of twenty twenty three. Dad's a 220 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: Harvard Business School grad and he translated fifty years of 221 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: Wall Street experience into this presentation that you were going 222 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: to be able to see on Tuesday. Dad called the 223 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: nineteen eighty seven stock market crash on TV and then 224 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 1: went on to make other incredibly accurate and timely market calls. 225 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 1: New York posts back in the day said he makes 226 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: uncanny predictions of market turns. The economist said he could 227 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: be the next market group called the nineteen eighty seven 228 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: market crash practically down to the minutes of the Chicago Tribune. 229 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: Now Mason's coming forward with his first major prediction in 230 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 1: thirty years. Dad has something big to say, and he 231 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: says it's going to be set in motion over the 232 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: next eight weeks. If you want the details, you just 233 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: have to go to Disruption twenty twenty three dot com. 234 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: That's Disruption twenty twenty three dot com. All right, David, 235 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: what do we have to know about how things are 236 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: looking for the GOP in this now beginning of the 237 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four election cycle. 238 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 2: Well, it's I mean, the basics are unchanged really for 239 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 2: the last several months, which is that it's a race 240 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 2: between Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ronda Santis. It's no 241 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 2: secret that I support the governor. I was. I was 242 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: a big Trump supporter for eight years, for four years 243 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: during his during his term, and in twenty nineteen, when 244 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: after I moved to Florida, I was shocked and very 245 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: impressed with the way my Governor Ronda Santis was handling 246 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: not only COVID but other issues that were important to 247 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 2: the right as well. And I think he's a once 248 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 2: in a generation or more leader because at the end 249 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: of the day I talk about this thing, I say, 250 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: you have to know what time it is, And that's 251 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: kind of shorthand for understanding the moment that we're in, 252 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: understanding that the fight necessarily cannot be won by simply 253 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: being a Republican of yesteryear. I think the most important 254 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 2: characteristic that we need to find, let's say, those of 255 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: us on the right need to find in a leader 256 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: is someone who's willing to aggressively and competently use state 257 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: power against some of the institutions on the left and 258 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: to try to rebalance, to try to rebalance the power 259 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: relationships and to protect the American citizens. DeSantis is the 260 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: only guy out there, frankly, that recognizes that the threats 261 00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: are not only coming from the government. They're coming from 262 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: large corporations. They're coming from academia. They're coming from you know, 263 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: from big tech, They're coming from medical boards, They're coming 264 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 2: from all of these let's say, non governmental associations that 265 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 2: nevertheless are wielding tremendous ideological power over us, and and 266 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 2: that balance needs to be reshifted or else we all lose. 267 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: I mean, what's the point here if if if Amazon 268 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: can force us or you know, another big company can 269 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: force us too to feel a certain way about politics, 270 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 2: you know, and and and take on the left view, 271 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 2: you know, I mean, who cares. Who's sitting in the 272 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: oval office? 273 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: They just great note, I think your I think your 274 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 1: cord is touching your mic a little bit because we're 275 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: getting some interference. And just watch your uh, watch your 276 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,280 Speaker 1: ear quard of that a little bit or it might 277 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 1: just be the connection, but just watch the cord there. 278 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: And I look on on onto the the reality of 279 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 1: institutions platforms and and leveraging leveraging power. I've been shouting 280 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: to everybody who will listen that the idea of the 281 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: neutral space that the right had been obsessed with the 282 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: Conservatism that I became familiar with in high school, college 283 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: and afterwards, that we want a marketplace of ideas, but 284 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: there are also areas where we want things to be 285 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: non political. I think the right has woken up to 286 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: a reality. And it's not just now, it's been about 287 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: the last six or seven years in the making that 288 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: if the other side thinks that they don't have to 289 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: respect this so called neutral space because they can run 290 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 1: the table on you, that's what they're going to do, right, 291 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: So you have to have enough power to say, hey, 292 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: are we're gonna be We're gonna be fair and neutral 293 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: in this area or not, and if you're not, we 294 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: can do something about it. If you're just appealing to 295 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: the left sense of fair play, they'll just stomp your 296 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: face in the mud and laugh at you. And I 297 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: think the conservatives have finally gotten the memo on that 298 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: a little bit. 299 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: I think maybe I think we have out in you know, 300 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 2: out out in the public, but uh, we have not 301 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,160 Speaker 2: had a champion like Rohn de Santis, who was sitting 302 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: in power and actually has the ability to do some 303 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 2: to do something about these things. I mean, it's one 304 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 2: thing for us to say, you know, yes, we need 305 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 2: to fight back against these uh, these these institutions. But 306 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 2: it's another thing to have someone who also understands this 307 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: and has the power to do so, and the inclination 308 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 2: and frankly, the fearlessness with which to do it. He 309 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: understands that value neutrality is nonsense in this day and age, 310 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 2: you know, you can have which is you know, exactly 311 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 2: kind of going to your point, there's that space in 312 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,159 Speaker 2: society that we kind of assumed was, you know, let's say, 313 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: empty of political content. But now the left has filled 314 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: that space with political content. There's nowhere you can go 315 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 2: from advertising to uh, you know, to to anywhere else where. 316 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: It's where like these left ideology has not kind of 317 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: seeped in. And this is moral propaganda from every possible avenue. 318 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 2: And at the end of the day, it's like it 319 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: needs to be it needs to be stopped. And Governor 320 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 2: DeSantis understands that, and he's willing to, uh, and he's 321 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: willing to He's willing to fight it. Not only that, 322 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 2: I mean what he did, for example with a new 323 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 2: college up in Sarasota. 324 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 1: Can I pause you with the college in Sarasoda. I 325 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 1: want to come back to in a second, because this 326 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: is the wielding of institutional power, the understanding of how 327 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: to shift and shape institutions like universities and colleges. DeSantis, 328 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,679 Speaker 1: I think is somebody who will David Reboy is going 329 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 1: to tell us in a second just how he was 330 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: able to do that, and maybe that's a model for 331 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 1: a lot of other places. But you need to have 332 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: the right biochemistry to feel good day in and day out, 333 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: and a lot of us as we get older, we 334 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: have testosterone level.

All right, David, what happened in Sarasota? What 352 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: a governor of santists do to the university there or 353 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: the college there? 354 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,640 Speaker 2: So there was a there was there is a university there. 355 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: There was a small liberal arts school that the state 356 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: was paying for. And rather than close it, you know, 357 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: you had kind of, let's say, the old Republican point 358 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: of view was, hey, this stuff costs money, and you know, 359 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: maybe there are leftists there. Let's just close it down 360 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: and walk away. But Desanta's was a lot smarter than that. 361 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: He realized that, hey, why can't we use it for 362 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: our purposes? And it sounds like such a little thing, 363 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 2: but it's actually a revolution in terms of the way 364 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 2: the right sees itself, the way the right sees its 365 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: ability to exert power, and and really it's the way 366 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 2: the right sees itself as being legitimate. And Desanta said, 367 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 2: as a matter of fact, no, we're going to keep 368 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 2: it open, but we're going to make sure that it becomes, 369 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: you know it, that it stops teaching leftist insane dogma 370 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 2: and goes and becomes let's say, the premier state run 371 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 2: school for liberal arts and true education in kind of 372 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 2: the old way, as opposed to NonStop leftist propaganda. And 373 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: he went and he replaced you know, he replaced the 374 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 2: director or whoever I mean on the staff that that 375 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 2: put up some resistance to this. And now he's getting 376 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: teachers who are coming in from all over the country 377 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 2: and kind of wanting to do something like Hillsdale College 378 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 2: in Florida, And this is going to be a thriving, 379 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 2: wonderful school at some point when when when it really 380 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: gets off the ground and they start doing this, And 381 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 2: of course the left is going completely bonkers about this 382 00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 2: because they you know, DeSantis knows, and they know that 383 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: DeSantis knows how important not just academia is to them. 384 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: But the the the fact that for up until now, 385 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: nobody's even been on the field when it comes to 386 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: this stuff. So they're going crazy. They're freaking out because 387 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 2: one school is not hard left and and we kind 388 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: of we need more of that. And that's just I mean, 389 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: that's one, you know, little tiny example. Disney is the 390 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,200 Speaker 2: big one that everyone talks about, but they're really a lot. 391 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: And I think here in Florida, he has redefined what 392 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 2: it means to have conservative governance. And he has done things. 393 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 2: He's passed laws you know, I mean in this session 394 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: alone that folks on the right have been wanting for, 395 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: you know, for for ages we didn't need. We wrote 396 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 2: them off as if we would never get them. And 397 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 2: and what that does is it attracts more people on 398 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 2: who are on the right to move to Florida. Number one. 399 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 2: Number two is it's created such a kind of thrilling happiness. 400 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 2: It's very hard to describe if you don't live here, 401 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 2: and you know, everyone that you run into is kind 402 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: of is happy to be here. Couldn't couldn't be more happy, 403 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: and couldn't be more happy with the governor. Of course, 404 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 2: there are some you know, discontents, but you have that malcontents, 405 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: but you have that everywhere, and hopefully the campaign kind 406 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: of getting back to that. Hopefully the campaign will will 407 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 2: show everybody Florida and will show that you know that 408 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 2: the Republicans all around the country want a piece of this, 409 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: and I think they do. 410 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: I ask you in a second, David, just about the 411 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a I don't know if you 412 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: call a war on aesthetics, beauty and aspiration in this country. 413 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: But if you've seen recently, it's not just recent. I 414 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,919 Speaker 1: mean it's been going on for years now. All the 415 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 1: stuff about whether it's fat shaming or now Adidas has 416 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: guys with hairy chests wearing women's bathing suits to try 417 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 1: to sell. Like just it feels like something weird is happening. 418 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: Where as a society, we're no longer allowed to have 419 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: anything that is aspirational and beautiful, and you know it's 420 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: everything is being torn down. I just kind of I 421 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 1: wanted your sense of that philosophically. But first stuff for 422 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: everyone at home, I want to make sure they don't 423 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: lose their really important documents, photos and other things.

And I don't I don't necessarily think 450 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: that this is a that this is an organized effort, 451 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 2: that there's somebody in the back in a control room saying, 452 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 2: you know what, let's give these people terribly ugly things. 453 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 2: But I think they're has been a long war on 454 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 2: on beauty kind of traditionally understood and and it's very 455 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 2: let's say, it's very easy to hop on board that 456 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 2: bandwagon and uh and and go for the destruction of beauty, 457 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 2: you know, when you are yourself not beautiful or or 458 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 2: you know, terribly ugly. I mean, it's a horrible thing 459 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: to say, but I don't think, you know, I think 460 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: we've all noticed how Antipha looks when they are arrested. 461 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 2: I think we we all have an idea of of 462 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 2: of the types of you know, the way that the 463 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 2: folks look who show up on lips of TikTok videos, 464 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 2: and you know, then these these folks are not happy. 465 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 2: So so the question is do they try to destroy 466 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 2: beauty because they are not happy, or are they not 467 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 2: happy because they are not beautiful and they want to 468 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 2: destroy beauty. I mean, it's it's it's kind of chicken 469 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 2: and an egg thing. But I think you're right to 470 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: notice that it's absolutely going on. We see it kind 471 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 2: of in in every place. I mean, from music to 472 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 2: cinema to art to everything that that is all around us. 473 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 2: I mean, even the way even the way you see 474 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 2: colors you know, put together in in ads or things 475 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 2: like that. It's not the way things you know, it's 476 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 2: it's it's kind of meant to unsettle in a way. 477 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 2: And and the kind of weird biolininist psycho sexual gender 478 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 2: thing kind of you know, feeds into that. And I 479 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 2: think most people who are normal kind of you know, 480 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 2: turn around and they look at this and they think 481 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 2: this is awful weird. One of the nice things is 482 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 2: I have a I have a nephew who's who's fifteen, 483 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 2: and he is kind of thankfully immune to a lot 484 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 2: of the woke stuff, and he just tells me about 485 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 2: his experiences in high school surrounded by this insanity. And 486 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 2: his parents are not very political, and so he kind 487 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: of came to realize that these things were insane on 488 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: his own, which gives me a lot of hope, you know. 489 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: I mean, here's a here's a young kid who just 490 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 2: looks around and said, you know, these people are obviously insane. 491 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: And I said to him, why do you think that 492 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 2: you kind of had the antibodies to fight off this disease? 493 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 2: And he's like, oh, it's simple because I play football, 494 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 2: because you know, for a couple hours every day, I 495 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 2: put the phone down and I do something real and 496 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: I do something physical, and you know, and I can't 497 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 2: talk my way out of it.
