“And all these young men in the prime of their life were dropping like flies. And she's trying to give them hope. Well, good luck. They're dying. No one cares. And they're like, you can't tell us that they're going to cure this. Like that's a lie. And she goes, what if I told you they're not going to cure it? What if I told you it's going to be to like diabetes? They cut off your foot and you're going to go blind. Would that be something that you can hope for? And when you put it like that, it's like, yeah. Like if you're talking to someone like a homeless junkie and you're like, you could be a doctor, you're a lawyer, a lawyer. Like, cool story. Like, you could have a studio apartment with a terrible roommate and a shitty job. But when you're on the street, you know, cooking breakfast and a teaspoon and you hear that, you're like, wait, would that really be so bad? Is that really so much worse than this? No, and it becomes something. So when she put it in those terms, I'm like, wow, this woman that really did a number on me in terms of”

“I guess it's named all women. That's interesting. I wasn't even intentional. Tulsi, I like that she was aggressive, has a good resume, and is not staying the course for the establishment. Marion Williamson, I like she comes from a place, from what it seems, of genuine compassion. Maybe she's a sociopath, I don't know. I read her book and it actually affected me profoundly because it's very rare when you read a book and there's even that one idea that blows your mind and that you kind of think about all the time. And there was one of that such idea in her book about she was teaching something called a course in miracles in Hollywood. I think she still teaches it. And this was during the 80s to hide the AIDS crisis.”

“Yeah, people like Marion Williamson I thought was great. Tulsi I thought was great. Amy Klobuchar got a bad rap. I think she held her own smart. She wasn't particularly funny. That's okay. I think she was non-threatening to a lot of people.”

“Yeah, because I could have a job where I have a job interview and I'm running Yahoo or whatever, or I could for 18 months have to eat, you know, corn dogs looking like I'm going down on someone and shake hands and have all this, my family and on social media daily called the worst things for what? And then I'm still not guaranteed the position?”

“I think it is, if you look at what happened with Brett Kavanaugh, this is not a career that would draw people who are, you might say, quality. Because no matter who they are, there would be a huge incentive from the other team to denigrate them and humiliate them in the worst possible ways. Because as the two teams lose their legitimacy among Gen Pop, it's going to get harder and harder for them to maintain any kind of claims to authority, which is something I like, but which does kind of play out in certain nefarious ways.”

“Sure. I say three ways morally, no person has the right to tell another person how to live their life. Economically, it's not possible to make calculations under socialism. It's only prices that are information that tells me, oh, we need to produce more of this. We need to produce less of this without prices being able to adjust and give information to producers and consumers, you have no way of being able to produce effectively efficiently. And also, it is it turns people against each other.”

“Dude, if you don't sing in the tanks, it's all done. And he goes, Nope, I'm not that kind of guy. And they were right. I mean, Ceacescu was personally shot with his wife up against the wall. Hanukkah, I forget what happened to him, but they all self-liberated. My friend, who was born in Czechoslovakia, his mom was pregnant, you know, under communism, and she never even imagined he'd be free. And he was born under free. And they were all looking around all these countries that self-liberated because they're like, this is a trick, right? They're just trying to figure out who's not good so that they can arrest us en masse and they didn't. So even within communism, there are bad guys and better guys.”

“I think Lenin was building concentration camps while he was around in slave labor. I think it's clearly both. There are certain variants of communism that were far like Khrushchev and Gorbachev. The reason the Soviet Union fell apart, and this is kind of, I'm going to spoil the end of the book, there's an amazing book called Revolution 1989. It's like the most beautiful book I've ever read by Victor Sebastian. He's a Hungarian author. And basically what happens in 1989, Poland has their elections. And then in 1990, they kind of let in the labor people into the government. And people start crossing borders, you know, in the Eastern Bloc. And you had Hunaker from Eastern Germany and Ceausescu from Romania calling Gorbachev because those are the two toughest ones by communist standards. They go, they're just escaping. We're going to lose everything. You got to send in the tanks like you did in Hungary, like you did in Czech Republic, Czechoslovakia in 1968. And Gorbachev goes, I'm not sending the tanks. And they go.”

“My last book, The New Write, You know, I had to deal with some like the Nazis. And one of the points they make is how come everyone knows about the Holocaust, but no one knows about the Holo de Mor. And they're right. We should know about this because it is a great example of both how the Western media were depraved, but also what human beings are capable of. And those scars are still many Americans think Russia and Ukraine are the same thing. Oh, Trump's in bed with the Ukrainians, Trump's about the Russians. They think it's the same thing. For us, it's complete lunacy. But this is the kind of thing where Pol Pot is another example, where people have no clue of what has been done to their fellow man on the face of this earth. And they should know.”

“Yes, I should think so. Well, I mean, that's a very controversial stance. You think Hitler be viewed differently if it wasn't for the Holocaust?”

“Before you really get to that point, I mean, FDR was for all intents and purposes a dictator, but even then the worst you could say, and this is not something that you take lightly, was in terms of Japanese citizens, but they weren't murdered. They weren't under lock and key in the sense of like in cells. So things could have gotten a lot worse for him.”

“Do you know what I remember very vividly is after 9 11 and everyone was waiting for George Bush to give his speech and he had 98% approval rating and I remember very, very vividly because if he had said we're suspending the Constitution, everyone would have cheered for him. Like he couldn't get enough support at that time and he didn't do it. And I can't say anything really good about George W. Bush. I'm not a fan of his, to say the least. So I think you and I and other people who are familiar with totalitarian regimes to some extent from our ancestry or whatever from research should always be the ones freaking out and warning. But we should also be aware of we got a ways to go before it's Hitler. And thankfully, there are a lot of dominoes that have to fall into place before Hitler. It's like the game secret Hitler. It's a board game before Hitler becomes Hitler. Like it's not, especially in America, there's lots of things that have to happen.”

“Not specifically with Twitter, but yeah, social media as a whole when anyone can be. Here's a great another great example. Before, if you were talking about police brutality or these riots, you would have to perceive it in the way it was framed and presented to you. Nicholas Sandman is another example, Brianna Taylor, all these things. We don't have footage of her. You would have to perceive in the way that it's edited and presented to you by the corporate press. Now everyone is a video who has video camera. Everyone has their perspective and it's very useful when these incidents happen where you could see the same incident from several angles and you don't need Don Lemon or Chris Wallace to tell me what this means. I can see with my own eyes.”

“Marion Williamson, I think it was it was, had the Trump, both of them had the great point that goes, That's like a trillion dollars. How many schools would that build? How many roads would that build? Even here, why are we building hospitals in Iraq that we destroyed when we could build hospitals here? It makes no sense. It's horrifying.”

“Yeah, because here's what happens we remember the Spanish American War, remember the main, we have to take Cuba, yellow journalism, Willie Randolph Hearst, right? Then record scratch. And then we were all objective. Like, when did this transition happen according to people when you were saying that the Kaiser is the worst human being on Earth, when you were downplaying Stalin and downplaying Hitler's atrocities, when you were saying we had to be in Vietnam? At what point, WMDs, when did it change? It never changed. You just are better con artists at a certain point, and now the mask is dropping.”

“Yeah, and he's like, Mr. President, sir, that's not accurate, blah, blah, blah. He's done it. And Trump gets very frustrated because he doesn't just let him say whatever he wants and he hits him with the follow-up.”

“Here's the other thing in all seriousness. Chris Wallace is the moderator. Chris Wallace has interviewed Trump several times, and he was a tough, tough questioner. So I don't think he's going to come in there with softball questions. I think he's really going to try to nail Trump down, which is tough to do.”

“Yes, because in his last debate with Bernie, he was perfectly fine. And again, the guy was a center for decades. And I don't think anyone, if you looked at Joe Biden in 2010, would have thought this guy is going to have his ass handed him a debate. You wouldn't think that at all. So I don't know who we're going to see. Plus, he's got a lot of room to attack Trump. So I'm sure he's going to come strapped and ready and he's going to have his talking points and watch Trump dance try to tap dance around him. And if he's in a position, I know what the rules of the debate are to actually nail him to the wall. I'm sure he's going to have a lot of lines too. The problem is Trump is the master counterpuncher. So when Hillary had her line, she's like, well, it's a good thing that Donald Trump isn't in charge of our legal system. He's like, yeah, you'd be in jail. It's like lady, you set him up.”

“Joe Biden did a great job against Paul Ryan in 2012. Paul Ryan was no lightweight. No one thought he was a lightweight. Joe Biden handed Sarah Pale in her ass in 2008, which isn't as easy to do as you think because she's a female. So you're going to come off as bullying. That's something you have to worry about. So the guy isn't. I think he is in the stages of cognitive decline. So I think it's going to be interesting. I want it to be Mike Tyson beating up a child because it'll be a source of amusement to me. But I don't know how it's going to go.”

“If you're gonna, it's like Indiana Jones, right? If you're gonna pull something away, make sure you have something in place first as opposed to just breaking it and then just, especially in politics, because it escalates. And when things escalate without any kind of response, it can go in a very bad, that's when Napoleon comes in.”

“There's a great quote by Chesterton. I'm not a fan of him at all, but he says, Before you tear down a fence, make sure you know why they put it up first. So I am for tearing it all down, but there's something called a control demolition like Building Seven.”

“You know, like how if you're dating, if you're married to someone and someone throws out the word divorce, you can't unring that bell. You threw it out there. I'm saying you don't throw things out like that unless you really are ready to go down this road. And I think that is, there's nothing in the Constitution about debates. We've only had them since 1980. But still, I think they are extremely important. It's also a great chance for Joe Biden to tell him to his face. You're full of crap. Here's what you did. Here's what you did. Here's what you did.”

“I think there's an asymmetry. Because it's kind of like, okay, either if I leave the house, it's like Russian roulette. Yeah, maybe it's like a one in six shot. I'm pulling the trigger. I'm killing myself, but that's one in six. And the consequences are so dire that a little paranoia would go a long way.”

“No, what he did, he tweeted out to Mayor Wheeler of Portland. He said, call me, we will solve this in minutes, but you have to call. And he sat in his hands. And they said, oh, it's his fault. The city is burning down. He's not doing anything. And he goes, I'm not doing anything until you ask me to do it. So I think that is, even if you think he's an aspiring dictator, that is at least a sign that there is some restraint on his aspirations.”

“My grandfather was an air traffic controller back in the Soviet Union, and he said we saw this stuff all the time. These are planes that were not moving according to anything we knew about. So it's absolutely real. He's not some jerk with an iPhone in his backyard. This is a military professional who understood technology, who knew where the secret bases were. So if he's telling me doesn't mean it's Martians, but if he's telling me there's something there and there are many examples of these like military people, these aren't some laymen who sees a story”

“And the fact that this is international, okay, we eliminated completely in America. Well, then they're going to go find there's infants all over the world. There's video cameras all over the world. So then it has to become a conspiracy because someone has to film it. I'm filming it. You're buying it. Your kid, it is literally a conspiratorial, not in the sense of like a mafia conspiracy or some government illuminati, but there is our networks designed to produce this product.”

“It was the New York Times article, sorry, interrupted you where they had people tracking down child pornography. And I think the article said that they didn't have enough people just to cover the videotapes of infants being raped. And we can even wrap our heads around reading Lolita, like, okay, she's 14, 12. Okay, it's still a female. An infant, it's something that, again, like with the Stalin example, we sat down here for 100 years. We would never think of something like this. Think of it as a sexual context. It makes no sense.”

“Can I give you a better example That is kind of conspiratorial. The speaker of the house, the longest serving Republican speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert was a pedophile. He went to jail. The Democrats don't throw this in the Republicans' faces every five minutes. Not even Democratic activists. I find that very, very odd and not what I would predict. Now, I'm not saying there's some kind of conspiracy, but when it comes to things like sexual predation, which is something that I'm very, very concerned about, I'm an uncle now. My sister just had her second kid recently. He's adorable. It's something that I don't understand. It feels as if there's a lot of people who want this to all go away. Now, I think it's also because we don't have the vocabulary and framework to discuss it. Because when you start talking about things like children, these kind of issues, we want to believe it's all crap. Because for those of us who aren't in this kind of mindset, the idea that this happens to kids.”

We were warned about people like you. And I think there's a very heavy correlation. I'm not a psychiatrist, of course, between that and certain types of mild mental illness.

“Right. I mean, and also conspiracy theory is a term used to dismiss ideas that have some currency. The Constitutional Convention was a conspiracy. The founding fathers got together secretly under sword a secrecy in Philadelphia and said, we're throwing out the Articles of Confederation. We're making new government, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Luther Martin left and he told everyone this is a conspiracy. And they were like, yeah, whatever Luther Martin. And Jeffrey Epstein was a conspiracy. Harvey Weinstein was a conspiracy Bill Cosby was a conspiracy. They all knew. They didn't care. Communist infiltration in America. There's a great book by Eugene Lyons called The Red Decade. They all knew every atrocity that was done under Stalinism was excused in the West. And if you didn't believe it, oh, you've got this.”

It's a big danger online because very quickly, if someone who you thought was good but now is bad on one aspect, well, they're controlled opposition or they've been taken over or they've been kind of appropriated by the bad people, whoever those bad people would be. I don't know that I have a good answer for this. I don't think it's as pervasive as people think.”

“In life, is at the function of a small cadre of individuals would be for many people reassuring because as bad as it looks, you know they, whoever they are, it's usually the Jews, aren't going to let it get that bad that they will pull back. Or the black pill is that they are intentionally trying to destroy everything and there's nothing we can do when we're doomed. And there's an amazing book by Arthur Herman called The Idea of the Klan Western History. It's one of my top 10 books where he goes through every 20 years how there's a different population that say it's the end of the world. Here's the proof. And very often the proof is something that is kind of self-fulfilling where there's no, it's not falsifiable. And we both have to think of ways to falsify our claims from earlier.”
