WEBVTT - David Reaboi - DeSantis is a Once in a Generation Leader 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.480 Welcome to the Buck Saxon Show. Everybody with me now, 0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:06.240 my friend David Reeboy. He is a fellow at the 0:00:06.400 --> 0:00:11.000 Claremont Institute. He also has a great substack, Late Republic Nonsense, 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:14.320 but you can all subscribe to and if you want 0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.880 to know how to get gains in the gym, he's 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:20.400 also an expert on that one. For those of you 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.000 who are only listening and not seeing. If you're watching 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.760 this on YouTube, you'll see exactly why. But mister Reeboy 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.640 honored to have you on the program. Sir, what is 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.360 it tell me about Late Republic nonsense? That's an interesting 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.000 title for a substacker. Are we the Late Republic? And 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:37.639 what kind of nonsense is going on? 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.360 We are indeed the Late Republic? Thanks for having me on. 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.040 It was a name that came to me because nothing 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:50.760 else seemed even remotely as appropriate. I think, I mean, 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:52.519 I thought for years that we're in the kind of 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:57.440 late Republic period, and you know, when I started saying it, 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.400 people thought I was crazy. But at this point I 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.880 don't think there were be all that much pushback. And 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.600 the nonsense part is like, these are the things that 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.720 that happen when you start talking, you know, when when 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.679 it seems like the form of government and uh and 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:20.200 and the the the things that we used to take 0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:27.280 for granted, really about about our union, and about uh, 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:30.040 you know, comedy and civility and and and the things 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:34.440 that we all thought we agreed on or maybe haven't 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.080 in in quite a long time. I mean, at some 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:41.360 point it's going to reach it's you know, it's at 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.160 some point it's it's going to reach the end. And 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:50.280 I think that talking about it and talking about why 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:56.800 these problems are are you know, maybe seem insurmountable is 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.040 the only way that we can really face them and 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.240 and and uh and do something about it. 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:05.000 How did we get to this point? What happened? Because 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:09.120 I do often talk to friends of mine, my peers 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:12.760 about how it didn't seem like maybe everyone has nostalgia 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.960 for the era of their youth, but it felt like 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:19.040 in the nineties we were arguing over things, but we 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:22.240 were arguing over things from roughly the same side of 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:28.320 the world viewpoint. I can't really explain it better than 0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:30.400 it felt like we used to be arguing more over, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:36.160 you know, the tax code and things that didn't necessarily 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.880 go to the heart of the republic itself and maybe 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:42.440 undermine it, maybe kick at the load bearing walls of civilization. 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:43.520 What happened? 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.120 Right, well, I mean, that's that's that's a question that 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:50.960 has about a million different possible answers going back as 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.600 far as as you know you'd like to go back. 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.959 There are people who say that the problem is ingrained 0:02:57.040 --> 0:03:00.800 in liberalism and the enlightenment itself. You know, it's it's uh, 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:06.200 there is a there's a propensity for this stuff. Let's say, 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.680 this openness to self destruct given enough time and and 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.240 and you know, the passage of enough uh, you know, 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:18.400 enough generations. I mean, I think trying to figure out 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:22.400 where the problem started is almost pointless because we're not 0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:25.280 going to rewind, and we're not going to go back, 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.760 and there's no time machine to go back into, uh 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.440 and to necessarily fix it. But what we're dealing with 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.920 is the fact that we have two completely different conceptions 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.480 of justice. I mean, that's the that's the kind of 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:44.880 the basis, is that we understand justice differently between left 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.200 and right, and and that kind of has its expression 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.160 in every possible conceivable issue. 0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:54.640 And I don't how do we conceive of justice and 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.280 how do they conceive of justice, David Well, I. 0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.440 Mean, they conceive of justice as as as group justice, 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.800 and we see it as a kind of individual thing. 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:10.760 You know, if you or I did something, then you 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.560 or I did something. We believe in the fact that 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.920 justice is blind and you're judged on the things that 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.880 you do, not necessarily on the things that you are, 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.560 which is how Which is the other view of justice 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:27.400 that the left has, which is you know, you know, 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.359 we we call it collectivist, but you can call it 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.200 anything you want. I mean, at the end of the day, 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:36.440 it really matters to them if a perpetrator is black, 0:04:37.160 --> 0:04:39.720 or if he's white, or if he's this, or if 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.240 he's that. You know, that is the thing that defined 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:47.560 you know, the characteristics is the thing that defines, you know, 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.560 the way justice necessarily is served. And that translates too 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.279 to politics, you know. I mean you see, like you know, 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.920 you've got you've got juries that in Washington, d C. 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:00.880 Or in Chicago or in you York City that would 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.960 convict a republic you know, that would put a Republican 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:09.040 to death for jaywalking. Because it's such a kind of 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:13.320 us versus them, you know, conception when it comes to 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:19.960 when it comes to justice and that's something that's really significant. Now, 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:22.120 that's not just something that you that you paper over. 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:24.440 And here we are. 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:31.279 When you talk about collectivists their collective sense of justice, 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.839 why does somebody want to be a collectivist or where 0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.359 does this come from? Is it rooted in a sense 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:45.440 of one's own insufficiency, weakness and the paranoia that comes 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.800 from that, and therefore the desire to achieve stability and 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.800 even power through attachment to a group identity instead of 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:55.039 an individual identity. What it just seems to me, like, 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.520 why would anyone want to be a collectivist? 0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.680 Yeah? I mean Thomas soul has about this in in 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:06.560 kind of a very beautiful persuasive way. In in uh, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.479 I think it's the quest for cosmic justice where he 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:16.760 basically splits up human nature into two different types of uh, 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.240 you know, or let's say two where he splits people 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:22.520 into two different types of you know, the way they 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.720 deal with human nature. You know, one is fixed and 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.000 one is non fixed. So we who are who are 0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.159 on the right, we say human nature is fixed. You know, 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.400 people are going to be people from one civilization to 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.880 the next. They're going to prioritize different things, but they're 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.600 going to be essentially people, They're going to be motivated 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.800 by the things that always motivate people, you know, whether 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:49.080 it's you know, religion or honor or the fact that 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.920 you know, we we we have a love of one's own, 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:54.560 which goes back, you know, to the beginning of time. 0:06:55.520 --> 0:07:00.279 The the unfixed position on the other hand, which just 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:03.440 you know, commonly we think of as left, they say, no, 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:06.640 you know, it's actually humanity is a blank slate which 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.920 comes from Rousseau, and we think that hey, we can 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.320 you know, we can socialize people out of all of 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:19.480 these horrible, bigoted, terrible ideas by getting them to you know, 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:24.680 by doing whatever, and you know, raising them differently, educating 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.680 them differently, you know, And you see this every day, 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:31.360 and then you see see the left going crazy, for example, 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.400 in Florida, where they can no longer necessarily have access 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:40.400 to kids to talk to kids about you know, about 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.559 sexual issues. They're going crazy because they know that that's 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:44.480 their whole game. 0:07:44.800 --> 0:07:48.960 Yeah, well, what is that? I mean, the the ferocity 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:53.360 with which the institutional left and the activists of the 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:57.920 progressives and these are just all different words for democrats, right, 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:02.160 These are all different flavors of a democrat. But the 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:07.400 anger with which they approach the issue of stopping clearly 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:12.960 inappropriate and pornographic books from being assigned or handed to 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:19.960 grade school children, or even this this decision or this 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.840 idea that somehow allowing a you know, forty year old 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.679 man with a hairy chest to put on a wig, 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:32.760 a bunch of makeup, fishnet stockings, and shake his butt 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.640 in front of a room full of in many cases 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.480 parents with their children, which is also a whole other component. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.200 When you say this is bad, they don't try to 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.640 persuade you, right, David. They don't say no, no, this 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:50.760 is a good thing, because they become ferociously angry, almost 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.920 like a demonic rage surges. What's that way? 0:08:55.640 --> 0:09:01.480 In a way they have to be because oh, I'm 0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:04.280 forgetting who said it, but somebody made an observation years 0:09:04.320 --> 0:09:07.840 ago that was was excellent, which is that since the 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:11.319 Civil rights struggle in America, or let's say, since the 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:16.360 the left was victorious in the Civil rights struggle in America, 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:22.560 everything became a civil rights struggle. And so now every 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.320 issue is framed in terms of you know, in terms 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.720 of uh, you know, self expression and liberties and and 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.160 uh and you know, we talked about the next frontier 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:38.320 of groups that are you know, that are marginalized, that 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:40.800 are finally coming out of the shadows and and and 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:45.520 you know getting you know, getting full and equal uh 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.760 you know rights. And now we've gotten to the point 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.319 where we're talking about pedophiles coming out of the shadows. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.600 We're talking about all kinds of weird, deviant, you know, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:01.600 kind of crazy sexual stuff. I think they get angry when. 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.040 I think they get angry because at the end of 0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:06.320 the day, they kind of have to be you know, 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.040 they there's a part of them that is human that 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:14.400 says this is totally wrong, and they're trying to convince 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:20.160 themselves with their furiosity that that they're on the side 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:25.440 of the good and the and the you know, the 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.680 good and the wholesome and and you know sort of 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:32.080 on the side of of the angels and the right. Yeah, 0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.640 and so that's that's that's part of it. I mean. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:38.400 The other thing is that a lot of people have 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:43.680 been shocked at how how comprehensively the left has folded 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:48.080 on the issue, for example, of of you know, minor 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:50.319 children being gender transitioned. 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:52.920 You know, there is not I always say about this, 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.960 David not interrupt you. But there is no such thing 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.400 as a gender transition. I have to remind every I know, 0:10:57.480 --> 0:10:59.440 that's the terminology we're all supposed to use. There is 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.600 no gender transition. There is gender destruction. You can destroy 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.960 your genitalia, you can destroy your ability to have a 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.720 normal you know, endocrine function and reproductive system. I'm sure 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.880 you can destroy it. You cannot change it, though that 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.120 doesn't actually work. 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:21.760 Right, Yeah, but you know they will argue that there 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.920 is biology, and then there is sort of the ineffable 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.720 way you feel about your gender, which is your gender identity, 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.120 and your gender idem has absolutely nothing to do with, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.040 you know, with with biological reality. And to say that 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.760 it does is you know, some kind of terrible, horrible thing. 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:41.800 I think they're amazing how the argument is is completely 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.520 incoherent because they say that gender, the gender reality, has 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.000 nothing to do with your sexual reality. Well, then why 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.360 do we have to match the sexual reality of children 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:55.640 to their gender identity? Right? They the connection, they disassociate it. 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:58.920 They can create these additional categories. But then they also 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:01.960 in insists that there is a connection that has to 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:04.320 be changed. Right, what's the why not if we're just 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.200 if we're just letting people be who they are, and 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.160 it's about psychological affirmation, then why do you have to 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:11.840 do the physical stuff and the other part of it. 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:14.200 I always talk to people about it. With this stuff too, 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.560 is no one actually thinks that these are women. Everybody 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:20.680 who goes along with this, and we're talking generally here 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.480 at about men, you know, biological men or boys who 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:28.040 try to transition to female. They're not fooling anybody. And eventually, 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.600 and even if they're able to fool some people in 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.920 some situations, you know, from a distance or with makeup 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:35.400 or with AI or whatever, eventually it becomes clear this 0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:37.080 is not actually a woman. So why do we go 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:43.839 through this? But there's really something deeply corrupt in the 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.920 soul of the left and the Democrat Party these days 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.000 that I think this really exposed that. David. I want 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.200 to come back to this in a second. I actually 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.040 want to ask you speak of party politics. I know 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:57.160 you're you're very you have a lot of ideas about 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.240 the twenty twenty four election and where things should be 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.880 and where things are right now. So I want to 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.559 get into this. But first coming out this Tuesday, May 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.040 twenty third, in the morning, please join me online for 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.920 an exclusive interview with an extraordinary market analyst, my dad, 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.120 Mason Sexton. That's right, my dad's going to be talking 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.880 about the great Disruption of twenty twenty three. Dad's a 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.960 Harvard Business School grad and he translated fifty years of 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:25.160 Wall Street experience into this presentation that you were going 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.640 to be able to see on Tuesday. Dad called the 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:31.480 nineteen eighty seven stock market crash on TV and then 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.559 went on to make other incredibly accurate and timely market calls. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.840 New York posts back in the day said he makes 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:40.520 uncanny predictions of market turns. The economist said he could 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.200 be the next market group called the nineteen eighty seven 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:46.400 market crash practically down to the minutes of the Chicago Tribune. 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.600 Now Mason's coming forward with his first major prediction in 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.760 thirty years. Dad has something big to say, and he 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.120 says it's going to be set in motion over the 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.160 next eight weeks. If you want the details, you just 0:13:56.200 --> 0:14:00.000 have to go to Disruption twenty twenty three dot com. 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:06.120 That's Disruption twenty twenty three dot com. All right, David, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.760 what do we have to know about how things are 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:13.280 looking for the GOP in this now beginning of the 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.080 twenty twenty four election cycle. 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:22.160 Well, it's I mean, the basics are unchanged really for 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.920 the last several months, which is that it's a race 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:30.400 between Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ronda Santis. It's no 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:34.240 secret that I support the governor. I was. I was 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.840 a big Trump supporter for eight years, for four years 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:43.880 during his during his term, and in twenty nineteen, when 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:52.240 after I moved to Florida, I was shocked and very 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:57.960 impressed with the way my Governor Ronda Santis was handling 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:02.080 not only COVID but other issues that were important to 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.240 the right as well. And I think he's a once 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:10.280 in a generation or more leader because at the end 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:13.440 of the day I talk about this thing, I say, 0:15:13.440 --> 0:15:15.360 you have to know what time it is, And that's 0:15:15.400 --> 0:15:18.840 kind of shorthand for understanding the moment that we're in, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:24.760 understanding that the fight necessarily cannot be won by simply 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:29.520 being a Republican of yesteryear. I think the most important 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.080 characteristic that we need to find, let's say, those of 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:34.920 us on the right need to find in a leader 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.360 is someone who's willing to aggressively and competently use state 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.880 power against some of the institutions on the left and 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:48.080 to try to rebalance, to try to rebalance the power 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.680 relationships and to protect the American citizens. DeSantis is the 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:57.240 only guy out there, frankly, that recognizes that the threats 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.000 are not only coming from the government. They're coming from 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.840 large corporations. They're coming from academia. They're coming from you know, 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:08.520 from big tech, They're coming from medical boards, They're coming 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:11.880 from all of these let's say, non governmental associations that 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:18.160 nevertheless are wielding tremendous ideological power over us, and and 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:22.000 that balance needs to be reshifted or else we all lose. 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:26.080 I mean, what's the point here if if if Amazon 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:28.520 can force us or you know, another big company can 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:32.600 force us too to feel a certain way about politics, 0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:36.720 you know, and and and take on the left view, 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.520 you know, I mean, who cares. Who's sitting in the 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:40.360 oval office? 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.640 They just great note, I think your I think your 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.440 cord is touching your mic a little bit because we're 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.000 getting some interference. And just watch your uh, watch your 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:49.280 ear quard of that a little bit or it might 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.120 just be the connection, but just watch the cord there. 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:56.360 And I look on on onto the the reality of 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:04.120 institutions platforms and and leveraging leveraging power. I've been shouting 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:05.960 to everybody who will listen that the idea of the 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.320 neutral space that the right had been obsessed with the 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:12.520 Conservatism that I became familiar with in high school, college 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.680 and afterwards, that we want a marketplace of ideas, but 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:17.560 there are also areas where we want things to be 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.760 non political. I think the right has woken up to 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:24.560 a reality. And it's not just now, it's been about 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.199 the last six or seven years in the making that 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:29.280 if the other side thinks that they don't have to 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.680 respect this so called neutral space because they can run 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.040 the table on you, that's what they're going to do, right, 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.520 So you have to have enough power to say, hey, 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.119 are we're gonna be We're gonna be fair and neutral 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.560 in this area or not, and if you're not, we 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.520 can do something about it. If you're just appealing to 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.760 the left sense of fair play, they'll just stomp your 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.840 face in the mud and laugh at you. And I 0:17:51.880 --> 0:17:55.359 think the conservatives have finally gotten the memo on that 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:55.920 a little bit. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:01.320 I think maybe I think we have out in you know, 0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.560 out out in the public, but uh, we have not 0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.160 had a champion like Rohn de Santis, who was sitting 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.879 in power and actually has the ability to do some 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:12.560 to do something about these things. I mean, it's one 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:14.560 thing for us to say, you know, yes, we need 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:18.800 to fight back against these uh, these these institutions. But 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:21.679 it's another thing to have someone who also understands this 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:24.520 and has the power to do so, and the inclination 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:29.080 and frankly, the fearlessness with which to do it. He 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:34.080 understands that value neutrality is nonsense in this day and age, 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:38.120 you know, you can have which is you know, exactly 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:41.439 kind of going to your point, there's that space in 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:45.159 society that we kind of assumed was, you know, let's say, 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.040 empty of political content. But now the left has filled 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.000 that space with political content. There's nowhere you can go 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:57.240 from advertising to uh, you know, to to anywhere else where. 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:01.480 It's where like these left ideology has not kind of 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:10.320 seeped in. And this is moral propaganda from every possible avenue. 0:19:10.560 --> 0:19:12.080 And at the end of the day, it's like it 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.040 needs to be it needs to be stopped. And Governor 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:19.720 DeSantis understands that, and he's willing to, uh, and he's 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:24.000 willing to He's willing to fight it. Not only that, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.880 I mean what he did, for example with a new 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.560 college up in Sarasota. 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.680 Can I pause you with the college in Sarasoda. I 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:33.159 want to come back to in a second, because this 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.560 is the wielding of institutional power, the understanding of how 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:42.679 to shift and shape institutions like universities and colleges. DeSantis, 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:46.679 I think is somebody who will David Reboy is going 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:48.399 to tell us in a second just how he was 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.040 able to do that, and maybe that's a model for 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.160 a lot of other places. But you need to have 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.800 the right biochemistry to feel good day in and day out, 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:00.080 and a lot of us as we get older, we 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.840 have testosterone level. Especially you know you get up in 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:07.000 your year. Later years forties fifties, testosterone levels start to 0:20:07.040 --> 0:20:10.640 decline pretty rapidly. That's why the patriots at Chalk spend 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:15.399 years formulating their daily supplements, all natural ingredients, and the 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.200 leading ingredient in Chalk's mail, Vitality Stack, has been proven 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:21.560 to replenish twenty percent of difficient amounts of testosterone in 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.880 three months time. The Biden campaign would benefit from I'm 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.760 sure getting a little extra testosterone, but they're not gonna 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.600 check it out because they don't trust me. Everything Chalk 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.199 makes is lab tested twice for purity to ensure the 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.520 potency is there.

What 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:03.280 a governor of santists do to the university there or 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:03.960 the college there? 0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.640 So there was a there was there is a university there. 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.000 There was a small liberal arts school that the state 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:14.480 was paying for. And rather than close it, you know, 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:17.560 you had kind of, let's say, the old Republican point 0:21:17.600 --> 0:21:20.879 of view was, hey, this stuff costs money, and you know, 0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:24.240 maybe there are leftists there. Let's just close it down 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:28.560 and walk away. But Desanta's was a lot smarter than that. 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:31.840 He realized that, hey, why can't we use it for 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:35.200 our purposes? And it sounds like such a little thing, 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.560 but it's actually a revolution in terms of the way 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.560 the right sees itself, the way the right sees its 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:46.760 ability to exert power, and and really it's the way 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:51.720 the right sees itself as being legitimate. And Desanta said, 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:54.000 as a matter of fact, no, we're going to keep 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.680 it open, but we're going to make sure that it becomes, 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:04.600 you know it, that it stops teaching leftist insane dogma 0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:09.200 and goes and becomes let's say, the premier state run 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:14.439 school for liberal arts and true education in kind of 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.479 the old way, as opposed to NonStop leftist propaganda. And 0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:24.840 he went and he replaced you know, he replaced the 0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:28.240 director or whoever I mean on the staff that that 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.359 put up some resistance to this. And now he's getting 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:34.520 teachers who are coming in from all over the country 0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:38.840 and kind of wanting to do something like Hillsdale College 0:22:40.200 --> 0:22:42.960 in Florida, And this is going to be a thriving, 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:48.480 wonderful school at some point when when when it really 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.440 gets off the ground and they start doing this, And 0:22:51.920 --> 0:22:55.120 of course the left is going completely bonkers about this 0:22:55.280 --> 0:23:00.159 because they you know, DeSantis knows, and they know that 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:05.320 DeSantis knows how important not just academia is to them. 0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:09.960 But the the the fact that for up until now, 0:23:10.000 --> 0:23:12.320 nobody's even been on the field when it comes to 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:16.560 this stuff. So they're going crazy. They're freaking out because 0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:20.960 one school is not hard left and and we kind 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.240 of we need more of that. And that's just I mean, 0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:26.040 that's one, you know, little tiny example. Disney is the 0:23:26.040 --> 0:23:29.200 big one that everyone talks about, but they're really a lot. 0:23:30.000 --> 0:23:33.320 And I think here in Florida, he has redefined what 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:39.240 it means to have conservative governance. And he has done things. 0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:42.399 He's passed laws you know, I mean in this session 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:46.480 alone that folks on the right have been wanting for, 0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.280 you know, for for ages we didn't need. We wrote 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:52.679 them off as if we would never get them. And 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:56.399 and what that does is it attracts more people on 0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.160 who are on the right to move to Florida. Number one. 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:07.160 Number two is it's created such a kind of thrilling happiness. 0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:09.320 It's very hard to describe if you don't live here, 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.800
