Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah. Excellent. It's been quite a wild week, hasn't it? A very wild week. It was funny that, saying that you were back, because I think we had interacted and you didn't even remember if you had ever appeared on the show. That's how long it was. It's been about a year, hasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. I've been doing some podcasts ever since November 5th, but really haven't touched on this except in my substack videos. So you, um, you're
Starting point is 00:04:07 wrote a piece after the election of Donald Trump. And I thought that it was probably, it was the kind of thing that I wanted to read afterwards because it's not like, oh, he won because of this, he won because, you know, he won because he went to this state and that state. Now, you're looking basically at the zeitgeist, and you're trying to figure out exactly why he would win. And at the time you wrote that,
Starting point is 00:04:32 I don't think you would even known that he would win every battleground state. Yeah, well, yeah. Or apparently the House, right? He's won the House at the stage, right? So he has full control of the government technically, which is interesting. Mandate. So what do you make this happen? Well, I mean, so obviously the biggest thing is that this, you know, when I was asked for election predictions,
Starting point is 00:05:01 I said there's a 50% chance that this would be a ordinary election. and if that were the case, there was a 70% chance that Trump would win. It turns out that 2020 was an anomaly. This was an election like we used to have elections, or at least it resembled more the way we used to have elections than whatever hell happened in 2020. And under those conditions, Trump was the obvious winner. I mean, it kind of sounds ridiculous to say that,
Starting point is 00:05:28 but that's essentially what happened. He, you know, I guess the question is really, is how the left is going to process this. There's the sort of most interesting thing about Trump's victory. And I don't think his victory, once it was clear that you weren't going to have like a 2020 kind of anomalous election where millions and millions of people who never voted before suddenly mysteriously started voting, right, at of nowhere, right? Not to get your channel flagged or anything.
Starting point is 00:05:59 But, you know, you can look at the vote counts. and the vote counts for the 2020 election, just millions of people are on the rules, mostly voting for Kamala, that never have appeared before in American elections and apparently will never appear again, or until something else happens. That's very, very strange. And that didn't happen. And then because of that, just Trump just won, and he won everything. And there were so many mistakes leading into this that it's hard to even know where to begin. The messaging of the Kamala Harris campaign was terrible. And the coalition, and this kind of leads into the aftermath, the coalition that the progressives represent just looks incredibly exhausted. It's absolutely exhausted.
Starting point is 00:06:45 And you'd think that if Trump won like this previously, there would be huge protests, there would be a huge resistance movement. Everyone is just not feeling that way at all. It just a whole line of progress is kind of becoming resigned to their condition. And, I mean, that kind of makes it interesting, I guess. It's kind of like we've come to the end of a certain kind of phase of the progressive movement. And that phase is it's, I think what really died is its pretensions to be at all revolutionary. Because they can't sell revolutionary anymore.
Starting point is 00:07:19 No one believes that these people are trying to upset the system. No one is saying, yeah, these guys are the guys that are the anti-authoritarians. not after four years of Biden. And so that results in this very, very strange situation where Trump, who I don't think is a revolutionary figure, and we might talk about his appointments a little bit, although I'm not completely up on that. He's not a very revolutionary figure, but he finds himself in a revolutionary position with an opposition that can't get organized to really oppose him.
Starting point is 00:07:53 And it's bizarre. I actually wonder how the left coalition is going to hold together. I mean, you know, the left writ large is always going to get more powerful because it functions on degeneracy, degeneracy naturally increases. But the kind of cohesive property it had from two, basically for our entire lives, where everyone would kind of get on the same message, that has completely degraded. And I think what really degraded was October 7th, you know, it just split the whole thing in two. the left couldn't get on message because its donor class was entirely pro-Israel, and its activist class was almost entirely anti-Israel. And House divide against itself cannot stand, narratively speaking,
Starting point is 00:08:39 and they could never recover from that, I don't think. It's kind of hard to be revolutionary when you control everything, when you're in power. What are you revolting against? Yeah, I mean, you're, well, I mean, that Kamala tried to do that. Kamala tried to become the incumbent outsider. That was her whole brand. And it made absolutely no sense, which is why Kamala's whole ideas, well,
Starting point is 00:09:09 all just campaign from my basement and we'll do coconut and brat memes. And I'll do a bunch of hip dances with the kids. And I'll go on the female podcasts. And like, you hear about all these podcasts that she went on. You never heard of them before, like call her daddy or whatever. This is something that millennial women watch and no one else. And that kind of message, that narrative, will kind of carry the day. And it didn't.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I mean, it didn't because it worked for Biden. Again, it worked for Biden in 2020. He campaigned from the basement. But in 2024, people were actually not just in the mode of pure reality. action, they were looking around and asking themselves what direction they want the country to go in. And because of that, a candidate that is simply a non-entity, like Joe Biden initially and then Kamal Harris later for different reasons, is this not going to be able to win in a general election. Again, they could change the rules tomorrow and we'll see what happens.
Starting point is 00:10:15 But I'm really more interested. There's some battles coming up with the deep state and with the... Trump a sentencing this time. The most immediate battle is going to be between the paleo-cons or the deep right and the neocons. And that's going on in Trump's appointment decisions right now. That is in many ways the more important battle, at least in the short term, although I don't know how much you or I or anyone watching really has control over that if you're not meeting with Trump regularly. But the longer-term battle is just how the narrative is going to reform around what the left is doing. And I keep on trying to think of something that will work for them. And
Starting point is 00:10:59 you know, none of the usual tricks work. And I've heard there's also been kind of a huge falling away of left-wing followers on social media. Right now just today, which was, you know, recording this on the 15th, there was this huge campaign to get everyone to quit Twitter slash X. This was a thing they were doing. I don't think that this will work. But It's interesting to see they're trying to find some way that feels good to react to this. And so far nothing is really feeling good. Ready for huge savings? We'll mark your calendars from November 28 to 30th because the Liddle Newbridge Warehouse Sale is back.

Starting point is 00:13:08 Conditions apply. Ask in store for details. Well, something you said there about 2020, it was something that I really hadn't considered until today. So Trump gets elected in 2016. It's four years of circling the wagons, refilling their coffers, CNN basically being resurrected. They were pretty close to dead. And basically all they had to do was, and they had all the power from 2016 to 2020. You know, Trump couldn't do anything because the left was in power. The deep state was there.
Starting point is 00:13:45 There is no, there was, he wasn't ready to attack the deep state. And we can talk about whether any appointments that we've seen change our mind about that now. But basically what happened was instead of the left just doing what they did, they became reactionary. They became, it seems to me in 2020, they became reactionary against Trump and more Trump supporters. And it's like, look, you put this fool in there for four years who almost destroyed, you know, who, could have destroyed our country. We're going to shove everything down your throat that we know you hate. And it turns out that we aren't the only people who hate it. Most people hate it. And I think that was part of the reaction that we saw on the fifth. And this is also the thing. The big loser of
Starting point is 00:14:42 this election is Barack Obama. Well, you're witnessing right now is his coalition falling apart. If you've seen the guy, he looks like a corpse. And Kamala was really his, it feels weird to say his girl, but, you know, she was really his little play thing. She was the continuation of his legacy. And his coalition is smashed.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And it's interesting when you go back and look at the phenomenon of Obama. The Obama phenomenon was supposed to be like this reimagining of America. but Obama didn't really have any vision to speak of. I mean, he didn't even really have a group of visionary people behind him. He had a bunch of sort of millennials. There weren't really millennials in government yet,
Starting point is 00:15:29 but he had a bunch of millennial energy behind him. But the millennials weren't raised to kind of reach for any larger aspirational vision of America. Millennials were raised with this social justice ideology, that they'd be kind of the stewards of moral correctness in the system. So when Obama came in, it was like, well, we're just going to do this sort of neoliberal social democracy, but with increased moral preaching and kind of switch over to a pure identity politics form of coalition building. And that, I mean, again, like identity politics is, oh, all politics is identity politics. This will never end.
Starting point is 00:16:13 and in the long term, the demographic trends will be destiny. But in the short term, as sort of a political formula that will keep a party in power, Obama's vision for how the Democrats could just get ultimate political stability has just failed in this election. They will not, regardless of whether America is transformed demographically and politically by the changing racial and religious composition of this country, that will not be like a smooth ride continuously overseen by a Democratic Party that can completely manage the message and manage the unelected government in the wake of that. It will be a huge turbulent process that will only be kept in line with very, very hard uses of power, which the Democratic Party is just not capable of wielding. And so Obama's entire vision of the future that was sold to us with all that hope,
Starting point is 00:17:12 change stuff was just killed. I mean, it was really killed on October 7th because I keep, hey, keep on going back to that. But I mean, the coalition only works with them on board. It only works with the pro-Israel faction on board without the pro-Israeli faction on board. The only people, I mean, the pro-Israeli faction of the Democrat Party is the same faction. And it's everyone else is lunatics. Everyone else are communists, but without the level of intellectual, you know, aptitude or intelligence that previous generations of communists had. And so when that came down, the Democrats, I mean, I think Trump still probably could have won
Starting point is 00:17:58 without October 7th, but it would have been a much different fight. The Democrat, you know, there would have been a lot of mobilization. And if they had run a primary and gotten someone like Newsombed, in there, that I think that, you know, Newsom could have won. But as, as it was, you know, this coalition is not working anymore for them. And it will not work in the future. It will, you know, again, it will, it will take power. But the power will be divided in unorganized and contentious and constantly forming into circular firing squads. And this is sort of an opportunity for Trump. Can Trump come up with a vision of America where he, he,
Starting point is 00:18:38 He is in charge of the largest potential ruling class that isn't completely comprised of lunatics and of people that are kind of stuck in a Cold War mindset or who, you know, might be loyal to a country that isn't the United States to not put a too fine point on it. Is there a ruling coalition that Trump commands that can present itself as such? and if there is, then Trump will be the transformative figure of this, well, at least the first part of the 21st century, not Obama or not anyone else like Obama. And ultimately, I think someone younger will have to complete that transformation, but the sort of formula we've seen in front of us on the 5th. All right. So you brought up October 7th a couple times, and that's where I, to me, that was, that changed. changed politics going forward. Yeah. And so the question is, was there anybody they could run who could pull the coalition
Starting point is 00:19:42 of pro-Zionist and the ones who are like, you're basically committing genocide together? And I don't know. There was no one that could do it. Yeah, all paths to a coherent coalition dependent on October 7th, not happening. If October 7th didn't happen, they could have run an open prime. got in someone like Newsom and everything would be hunky dory you know and it would still be close it would still be close but they probably could have won that but with October 7th I mean who who are they going to write like AOC would AOC work AOC I mean I
Starting point is 00:20:17 don't know would AOC pull people in maybe I tend to think the AOC is more of an internet meme and a local phenomenon than she is an actual viable political strategy a viable force going forward you know I mean she's she's kind of a meme on both sides she's not a very forceful personality but she's she's taken the she's taken the pronouns out of her bio and is now calling herself a congresswoman instead of a congress person so pronouns are out maybe maybe the um the assumption that you know some some people are making that she's actually pregnant and becoming a mom and she's going to,
Starting point is 00:21:05 I don't know, become Tradcalf? Well, I mean, this is the thing. Like, the obvious correct move is to pivot to the right for the Democrats. Like, they have to. Like, you could, you could, so, like, if you had a video game controller and you were controlling the Democrat Party, if this is some kind of, like,
Starting point is 00:21:23 what if it's the parallax game type deal, you could easily figure out how they do, like, they add a little bit of religion in and a little bit of civic nationalism. And they get the, they get the people who left after October 7th back in to finance the universities and they double promised to keep out the cuckes in Berkeley and Stanford and Harvard and all that stuff and then they have a winning coalition again but they just they just can't
Starting point is 00:21:49 because well I think the radical left is is not going to make those kind of compromises if if the radical left was going to make compromises on identity politics then the radical left wouldn't be what it is right now, which is like this incredibly fake thing. I mean, the radical left is, it's hard to overstate its fakeness. I mean, it's the moderate left fake. I mean, the moderate left is fake too,
Starting point is 00:22:19 but there are authentically power-hungry sociopaths. And I don't think anyone would look at the moderate left, like the Democrat Party, like Gavinusim, and think that they aren't just power-hungry sociopaths. So they are authentically what they look like. But the radical left is they're pretending to be radicals and principled moralists, but they're actually just narcissists and people who are participating in sort of a social media phenomenon. And so because of that, like they can't actually play politics because the correct move for
Starting point is 00:22:51 the radical left would be to make a red-brown alliance and toss out the neocons and the moderate left and then, you know, kind of originally rule the country. And that would be if they believed in what they said, and if their foreign policy priorities were paramount, that is the winning move for the radical love. But they were not going to do that. Because the moment they do that, then the entertainment product they're producing goes away.
Starting point is 00:23:18 And because of that, they can't really compromise. If they go, okay, actually transgenderism is not a thing, that would be like a prudent move for Democrats to make. That can't happen. Like the Radical Left can't allow that to happen And the Radical Left is too close to power to do that Ready for huge savings We'll mark your calendars from November 28th to 30th

Starting point is 00:25:13 Ask in store for details. Well, I guess we have to make the decision and comes to the conclusion that the right who is divided, I mean, they're not as divided on, in numbers-wise, the Israel. issue as the left is. But it seems like even so, we have a lot of people on the right who, you know, are very anti-Zionist, but they still voted for Donald Trump, believing Donald Trump to be the biggest Zionist president in the world that we've ever had because they hate the left, more than the left hates the right, because if the left hated the right, as much as the right hated the left on November 5th, the left would have en masse. voted against Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Yeah. Well, I mean, in some sense, the left did vote against Donald Trump. The thing is what they didn't do is they didn't enthusiastically get out there and run all their activist organizations to farm ballots. And the utility of the radical left is not in their actions of voting. It's in their actions of discovering people who haven't voted and then getting a mail-in ballot in front of them and in the mailbox with a probabilistically likely vote for Harris. And so without the enthusiasm, that activist work doesn't get done on the ground. And there was no
Starting point is 00:26:47 activist enthusiasm. The optimal way, again, like there's so many parties involved, I don't even know who really to speak for. If you talk to people like Hassan Piker and Vosch and David Pach, my analysis people who are they're not actually concerned about the democrat parties prospects in the future and they're certainly not compared they don't care about Palestine they care about the fact that they're there the narrative on their media product has fallen apart and so they're trying to figure out some kind of narrative by which politics becomes fun again like as before if they cared about instituting their revolutionary policies or again ending the war in Palestine, they would be trying to look into some kind of, I hate to use the phrase red-brown alliance,
Starting point is 00:27:40 and the alliance between the anti-establishment forces in American politics against the center, because that's the only thing that could kind of permanently keep them out. But again, I don't think that any of the leaders actually care about that. They care about the narrative kind of, like the game has to go on. The late night shows like Stephen Colbert, and those are really disgusting people. It's kind of, you look at them. I mean, I haven't watched them in ages, but you look at the reaction videos where, I mean, they're essentially running late night as an extended op-ed for the Democrat Party. It's kind of disgusting to think that that's been taken away from us.
Starting point is 00:28:17 But all they're thinking about right now is how can we get America's political entertainment product back online? And if Trump plays his cards correctly and reframes the issues, so that it's always about solving problems, then that political entertainment product is going to be much more difficult to get back in line with where people needed to be to keep the show ongoing. And, you know, I think, I kind of hope to see a bit of a collapse. I mean, we're already saying kind of a collapse in some of the, in some of the, in some of the, in some of the, in some of the. of the appointments. There's sort of a changing of the guard that apparently is going on with Trump's appointments. And I haven't, again, been following it, but it seems to be going in a somewhat okay direction. But I hope that that's also accompanied by a change in the guard in terms of American media. I hope that Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert's business model doesn't work in this era. People are so burnt out on politics that they don't want to hear somebody joke for 20 minutes about a political situation that they find to be completely exhausting.
Starting point is 00:29:28 And they change the channel. And these people decide to go back to something that's more like David Letterman or Jay Leno after all of this. And I hope that we can see a continuing disintegration of the sort of moderate left internet sear as well. I don't think that there actually is a coherent ideology keeping millennial progress. us together online. And I think that they're mostly, they're mostly kind of predicated on a very comfortable understanding about who are the default winners inside political arguments. And the second they enter into dialectic, they immediately fall apart. This is something that you realize to kind of go on a digression about the exodus from Twitter. When you have all these people
Starting point is 00:30:13 like The Guardian and all these progressives essentially leaving, the second, the platform, is opened up and it becomes an open debate platform, hard progressivism of the radical millennial variety just cannot exist there. And even the moderate sort of Democrat, you know, American psycho Gavin Newsom, progressivism, it has a hard time living there as well. These people cannot do discourse anymore. So the, there's sort of a, there's sort of a huge narrative collapse for the left in terms of selling their products. And I hope to see as much of the mainstream and as much of new media just kind of collapse under the weight of this disjunction. And I think what we saw from David Pacman, I'm sure you've seen the video, I think that's just panic.
Starting point is 00:31:07 And it's also a way of, I mean, he had, honestly, before I saw that, I didn't even know he had a show. I thought he was just some jerk off on Twitter. Oh, I remember from Gamergate. Okay. I remember he had, it said he had 2.65 million subscribers, and he said he lost 5,000 of them. Now, if an account, like, if I lost 5,000 on YouTube, that would be something. It would be something. I mean, yeah. So they would have had to have been paid. And yeah, I think it is, it is more that an industry, an entertainment industry has been built around the left being anti-right. And you see it, like, some of the posts that you've seen on X over the past couple days are just, I mean, from people like Bill Crystal, who are, I mean, they're like, what's going to happen in this country when, you know, go get your vaccine,
Starting point is 00:32:12 Bill Crystal didn't say this, but I saw, go get your vaccines because vaccines aren't going to be available after January 20th, when RFK. junior takes over HHS. This doesn't this this this is the kind of hyperbole that is not meant to do anything politically it's meant to try to drive people back to or to this kind of entertainment commentary around leftism that they've become so accustomed to and right now they want to swing radical but the left wing in this country is too tired to swing that way it can't swing radical it can't do another summer of 2020 again or you can't do another what is it was the the the pussy march do you remember that from 2016 yeah yeah i had all these like boomer women all these boomer women in 2017 you know
Starting point is 00:33:10 protesting outside of the capital in these pink hats there's not enough energy where they get the money to do that where they get the money to do that in the middle of the day in the middle of the week Oh, well, they're all retired. They're all retired. They're all retired rich boomers. I mean, this is like, okay, I'm kind of speaking for my own community, but this was, you know, in places like Berkeley, California. I mean, like they were all over that stuff. Well, they're all a bunch of these retired women with more money than they ought to do with. They'll fly out to D.C., right? Even though it's like a, you know, it's a six-hour plane ride. Yeah, I mean, but I don't think there's the energy. It's really weird how there's just not the energy to do something like this. It would be so easy if Trump had not won the popular vote because the left is trying to find some way that they can say that this election is procedurally illegitimate. They tried collusion. They can't say that Trump stole it by faking ballots because they just assured us for the last four years of that never happens. They can't procedurally contest that because they also assured us for the last four years that procedurally contesting in the election.
Starting point is 00:34:19 was tantamount to treason. And they can't fall back on the democracy thing because Trump won the popular vote. So they don't have a narrative by which they can call this election illegitimate. And so without a narrative, they don't have anything to really motivate their activist class. And so I think it'll be about a year before they can find some other narrative that would allow them to exert very much activist pressure at all. And in that time, it is very hard for them to cancel people, which is obviously good for us. Speaking of that, what is our role? What do we talk about now?
Starting point is 00:35:01 What do we, what does our content look and sound like? I think that, well, other than, I think that our role as activists is to do organization locally. This is something that certain organizations like the OGC and the exit group and Seldings and Bailwolf have done over the course of the last three years. And I think we've just scratched the surface of this. I think that as soon as young men in particular get organized, there's just so much good they can do as long as they have an ideological way to stay loyal to each other. I think that I don't think we can really overstate the amount of damage that's been done
Starting point is 00:35:45 to young men by local conservative and religious leaders, who's their number one, instinct is as soon as they see young men gather together for a political cause is to tell them they shouldn't be doing politics, they need to be properly conforming to X, Y, NZ, idiotic idea, kind of HR-type idea that they really should be doing something else and it's always disrupted and the enthusiasm is always tamped down. What if you had an organization of young men with strong leadership that actually was focused on not only doing good in the community, but also managing power within the community in a responsible way. And if that is something that, you know, that's a role. I think that roles it to open to people. And if it's well organized,
Starting point is 00:36:34 then, you know, the sky's the limit. If it's us here online, I think that this next year is is going to be a bonanza for online expansion on the right. I think people are looking for different ideologies that are not the nonsense that's been preached by people like Hassan Piker. I think they're looking for different places to actually discuss politics and not just to simply hear a lecture. And for the next year, like I said, I think both the radical left and the moderate left as represented by the mainstream media is this going to be insane. You had blippy Goldberg just today call for a sex strike. This is, you know, this is the whole, this is a TikTok movie, but like the four bees from the Korea, the four nos. Like, it was it no, no dating, no sex, no marriage,
Starting point is 00:37:21 no babies, or something like that, you know, the bees, I don't know what the word is, but it's the no in Korea, right? It's a B word of some variety. And, I mean, this is, when someone tells you that, they're basically declaring that they have no right to be doing politics in a responsible way. I mean, who, who, it's like, okay, that's, that's of the variety of, oh, let's burn our house down to, because, because we're unhappy about, you know, how, how our mortgage is being handled by the bank. Or, you know, let's, let's cut our nose off despite our face.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Or, you know, let's, let's, let's harm ourselves to cathartically deal with our own emotions. The second, someone says that to me, and there should be apparent to all people, when a person commends that something horribly self-destructive be undertaken to no greater effect than to project people's emotions into the ether, and that person should not be doing real politics. That person's not part of conversation, that they're trying to emotionally blackmail you, and that just should not be part of the conversation. And so you have so many, I guess I think this is only TikTok, but you have so many people in the mainstream media, just showing that they're, they're,
Starting point is 00:38:36 absolute lunatics when it comes to doing real politics and not just trying to treat it as an extended opportunity to emotionally blackmail their audience. That's an opportunity for us. It's an opportunity because there's just so much stuff that doesn't exist. Who is the person that America goes to to just relax and hear jokes? Where do young people go? Where do young men go to get fraternity and to build their careers up? Where do you? do young people generally go just to hear politics discussed in a real way?
Starting point is 00:39:12 All of these things are places that I think a lot of the creators can fill and we can take a huge step forward in the next year. Ready for huge savings?

So, I don't know if you know any of the picks he's made. as far as it seems like he went through the first ones he did would relate to foreign policy and now he's doing domestic policy well the one everyone's yeah policy yeah what were you going to say is it the the foreign policy one i've heard of them in mixed bag the domestic policy ones have been well the one the big one everyone's reacted to is the matt gates nomination right
Starting point is 00:41:32 which is you know i i don't really know much about matt gates but from reputation, this would be revolutionary. And you have half the Department of Justice threatening to quit over his nomination. I mean, if he has to replace half the employees in the Department of Justice, and he does, like, that's a new cut. That's a whole new way of managing domestic law enforcement. And what's, what's very interesting about the Gates position at Attorney General is, even if that doesn't go through, today he just nominated Todd Blanche as deputy attorney general, who is his personal lawyer, who is the one who's been doing this. And his, when you look at his career, he is basically a, he's a hard ass.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And this is a guy who is, one thing that you cannot say about his appointment so far is that they haven't been loyal. Just about every single one, you know, people want to talk about about Marco Rubio, we can talk about that one. I have my own opinion on why Marco Rubio was chosen as Secretary of State, and it has nothing to do with Israel. But the, you know, because he is a gigantic Zionist, as a lot of the foreign people have been. But the, you know, when you put your, when the deputy attorney general, who would be the one who would step into attorney general, is somebody who's a loyalist to you, who is a hard ass, who's worked for two of the biggest law firms in the country and the oldest law firm in America.
Starting point is 00:43:13 And he's a, you know, he's old stock, you know, Heritage American, which is basically what, what he seems to be putting into place now as far as his domestic goes. Then you have to, and then you look at Tulsi as DNI over all the intelligence agent, over all the intelligence agencies. And basically, you know, she's on a list. on a flying. She has, they watch her when she goes flying. So now she's over the people who put that in there. And then you have someone like, someone like, what's his name that they,
Starting point is 00:43:56 you have the whole Elon and Vivek Romiswani thing, who we know Vivek has studied James Burnham. And he talks about the managerial state. It does actually. look like when you just concentrate on what's been what's been chosen and then rfk junior over health and human services the whole cdc over everything it looks like he's constant his real concentration is on fixing what's wrong here yeah his his domestic policies his domestic nominations have been a lot more adventurous and a lot more promising than his foreign ones one of his problems though i think he might not have enough people to put in positions this has always been a problem with the right wing is that our bench is so shallow because for the last 30 years, we have
Starting point is 00:44:47 discouraged the sort of legacy Americans from career paths that would put them in positions to take government office. And this has been the large consequence of how people have structured their sort of pre-law and sort of government studies inside college, where they're almost now overwhelmingly dominated by what essentially are progressive seminaries that also put forward. I mean, Democrats are kind of suffering from the flip side of this. They're suffering
Starting point is 00:45:16 from the fact that they reward political loyalties so much that anyone who makes it to the top is a political hack. And, you know, they're only there, like, Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris is not particularly bright. She is actually kind of a dim, let's be honest. We can be honest about this now, right? Kamala Harris
Starting point is 00:45:32 is kind of a dim woman. I mean, maybe not, I mean, not, she's probably not below average, right? But for someone who's expected to have one of the most intellectually taxing jobs in the world, she's not up there where most presidential presidential candidates usually are. And, you know, from Sonia Sotomayor to Katanji Brown, Jackson, it's just the line of these people who are just, they're just not quite there. And the reason is that they're promoted for political reasons. And when this gets... to sort of the Republican side. There's just not, like there's no, how many Republicans come out of
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yale that, that like they're 22, they get their bachelors and like, you know what, I'm going to be high up. I'm going to be an appointee for government. That's my destiny. There isn't, like, everyone who's a Republican or not politically loyal, they either go into engineering or law or marketing, and they join the corporate world, or they're just kind of passed over and have. have some kind of, you know, middle-of-the-road wagey job. And so all of our talent in America is in completely the wrong place to actually take the power that Trump now has access to dole out. So my chief concern is that Trump is going to be giving job. He just has to do this right now. He's going to, but he's going to give a lot of jobs to a lot of older people that aren't going
Starting point is 00:46:58 to want to move in radical directions. And that's going to be a limitation to his sort of revolution that he's running. Well, right now, I think. the, what we're looking at is almost, almost all of the appointees are late Gen X, early millennials, which is, I think somebody did the average and said that on average they're 20 years younger than the average Joe Biden appointee 30 in a couple of cases. Oh, okay, that's actually really, that's, I did not hear that. That is quite heartening, actually. I wonder where he's finding the TV. I wonder, I wonder where he's finding these people really i i mean that seems that seems amazing in the modern world that you'd have a class of younger millennials who are ready to take on high office that are that that
Starting point is 00:47:50 that are um you know uh kind of available to an incoming president like trump yeah the um i mean you got mark marco rubia for what anybody i want to say tulsi gabard tulsi's uh you know late chin ex Matt Gates is a millennial. A lot of these people are, his, the, the sec-deaf is, is, I think, a Gen X. So,
Starting point is 00:48:19 yeah, Christy Noam is is Gen X. I mean, so there's, this is turning out to be a lot younger. But one of the things that you know, people on the right really come down to is a lot of people,
Starting point is 00:48:34 especially people that we're, you and I deal with are very anti-Zionists. And so the question is, Miriam Adelson gives $100 million. Well, she didn't give $100 million. She pledged $100 million. She gave $34 million. Timothy Mellon, who is, if you know the name Mellon,
Starting point is 00:48:56 if you recognize that, you will know Heritage American, I mean, old school American. Yeah, Carnegie Mellon, right? Yeah, yeah, exactly. he gave $170 million. And then there's the one person that everybody forgets about. Elon Musk probably gave upwards of a billion dollars or gave, you know, was able to raise upwards of a billion dollars. So when people are looking at who he's, you know, it's like, oh, well, this Zionist and that
Starting point is 00:49:31 scientist and this scientist, it's like, you have to take into consideration. there, he may be putting those people there for a reason. Like, I don't think Marco Rubio is Secretary of State because he's going to, they don't want war. I mean, he already, Trump proved that in his first term. Marco Rubio is there because what is the biggest fucking, what is the goal that he set out to do? Deportations. Deportations to Latin American countries. Marco Rubio is Latin.
Starting point is 00:50:04 He's loved in Latin America. He speaks Spanish. He hates communists, and he's a hard-ass with no heart who if he sees a little Spanish, you know, Hispanic kid crying, he's not going to care. It seems like he's there. Everybody thinks that, oh, Secretary of State, it's all about war and everything. No, it's about having to deal with other states when you're doing. And if he is going to carry out this gigantic friggin deportation thing,
Starting point is 00:50:31 you're going to need somebody who can speak to the frigging country. that he's sending these people back to. I don't think Marco Rubio is there for anything about foreign policy and war and war policy. Heck, I agree with my friend Tom Luongo. I think that almost immediately there is going to be a pact made with Russia and made with Iran, and they're going to tell Israel, you can do whatever you want, but we're not going to fight this. Anyone who has ever tried, we know we can't want to, you're going to fight a war with Russia in the first place.
Starting point is 00:51:04 And anyone who studied Iran knows you can't win a war with Iran. It would take you two years to even start to stage a war with Iran, and then they're staging a war for two years at the same time. So it's like this is people who think that there's going to be this, they're out of their fucking minds, and I'm fucking sick of hearing it. Well, that's kind of what I hope to see from the Trump administration is I really want that these horrible wars to be de-escalated and end. I don't know how much of the, I'll end the Ukrainian war was sort of Trump being
Starting point is 00:51:42 brachadocious, but I think that maybe, you know, if there was a face-saving deal put on Putin's plate, we could end this war, and it would save a hell of a lot of the Ukrainian lives and Russian lives, for that matter. I mean, just saying that kind of huge waste is just heartbreaking. And, you know, it will involve kind of acknowledging a multipolar world, but that's just acknowledging reality at this stage.

And it's going to be, it's going to be a Monroe Doctrine. Yeah. Where certain places are going to have over, are going to have overrepresentation in, in influence in certain parts of the world. We'll have it in our part of the world.
Starting point is 00:54:08 Let Russia and China fight it out over there. And that's just the way it's going to be. It's the only way. And when you have all these people who are coming in like an Elon Musk and all these people who are influencing them, who have minds for this and who are also, we have to remember, Trump's a businessman. He knows that war, he knows war isn't good for the business of the country.
Starting point is 00:54:28 Yeah, it's good for a few companies. It's not even good for banks because they lend to the other fucking, they lend to everybody. So they're not going to get paid back somehow. What I hope Trump also realizes is that Putin is looking for a face-saving way to get out of this mess. I don't think the war went as well as Putin thought it would. It certainly didn't go as well as John Bolton thought it would. And I think that he realizes kind of like Crucachev in the Cuban Missile Crisis, that if he has a way to say, like, look, we kind of won, then this war can be de-escalated.
Starting point is 00:55:04 And, you know, maybe I don't actually understand Nettin Yahoo's psychology. To me, Netanyahu just, I feel like I understand Putin a lot more than I understand in Yahoo. And it just feels like the whole Middle East just always feels like a madhouse when I look at it. Like I can't, I think I must have too much of a, I feel like the Ukrainian war is much more parsible. And for that reason, it seems much more preventable. But it just seems like the Middle East is always just a bunch of lunatics that are,
Starting point is 00:55:34 You know, they're trying to get themselves into trouble. And I don't want any part of it. That's obvious. I mean, I don't know. I mean, like, the question is, you know, Trump's foreign policy, the success of his foreign policy will largely be viewed on his ability to successfully unspool the messes that have been created over the last four years. And if you can unspool those messes and clear up the shipping lanes,
Starting point is 00:56:04 then, you know, I think everything is going to kind of roll back into place. I mean, look, and the economy is difficult, right? But at least part of this, the horrible economy we've experienced over the last three years, has been a completely destabilized geopolitical environment. I think Trump understands that Putin has to save face, and I think he's willing to let him, and it's from history. after Trump's stupidly assassinated Soleimani, which was probably some kind of internal Iranian intrigue
Starting point is 00:56:43 that wanted to get rid of Soleimani and set that up. He, most people don't remember this, but Iran fired rockets at an American base in Iraq as a retaliation. And I don't know that they, I don't remember that they killed anybody. Somebody may have gotten hurt. But Trump even said, and you can go find this, he said, yeah, they had to save face.
Starting point is 00:57:10 And so that lets me know that Trump understands how the game is played. Also, I know he's been bellicose to Iran. He got out of the Iran deal. He jettisoned the JCPOA. If he can just, I don't think Iran wants war. I think Iran just wants to be Iran. I mean, they haven't, but they haven't invaded anybody in over a thousand years, something like that. I mean, they haven't attacked anybody in over a thousand years.
Starting point is 00:57:38 I don't think they want war. It always told to me, like Iran was, it was just like the stupidest of all the boogeymen you could imagine. Iran is like, what is this? Like, you know, is this the Iron Age? Is the Thermopylai? Like, when has Iran ever been like on the verge of invading the West? it's it's not something that that even seems plausible and iran was always just like this the weirdest villain for these people i think that's like the neocons just wanted a villain and iran was the one
Starting point is 00:58:12 closest to hand and that they could just never get let go of it yes so i think that he's going to definitely come to bring the ukraine thing to to an end um i don't know if it's going to happen on day one, but it'll definitely, it'll definitely happen. And Russia's going to have to take, take the part that they wanted right from the start. And it belongs to them. Those people want to be part of Russia. So these, these neocons scum, you know, who they can fuck themselves. Yeah. But I think with Iran, I think he's just going to, it's going to be like a stalemate thing, where it's just going to be a stalemate. Every once in a while we'll hear about Iran. Oh, Iran's, you know, the whole net, You know, the thing, they're two weeks away from getting a nuke.
Starting point is 00:58:59 Yeah. And it'll just fade into the background. And then it's just a matter of, fucking Israel bombing every one of their friggin neighbors. And how that ends, how that comes to, you know, and we shouldn't have any frigging part of that. There's no reason. I mean, I can understand that Trump may want to be like the one who sweeps in and says,
Starting point is 00:59:25 you know, And it's like, oh, look at the deal I made. The art of the deal. I'm the dealmaker. But, you know, I honestly, I don't think people realize that Netanyahu and Trump do not like each other. They used to get along, and they do not like each other. I'm going to kind of tempt being radical on this show. I just don't think that this is a good way to administrate this area. I think this whole Israel thing, like, it's fine if.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Jews and Muslims stay where they are right now. But we can't just have like this big state where they're like, well, we're basically like a European state in the Middle East. These, this region of the world has to. If they were a European state, it would be perfectly fun. If they were a global, if they were another global homo state, this wouldn't be a problem. The fact is, is they're not a European state. They're a friggin ethno state no matter how many. Oh, they have eight Arabs in the Knesset. Go fuck yourself. I mean, I mean, they have, I mean, I mean, I mean, European and sort of like the 19th century, Westphalian concept, right? Yeah, I mean, like, if they were a European state in the modern variety, then all the Palestinians would have moved right back in.
Starting point is 01:00:39 And half the Middle East would have moved to them by now. And they would be like a majority Muslim. And they would exist as a Jewish state. So if they were a modern European state, then that. But the whole, like, Westphalian state in the Middle East doesn't work because the Middle East, is a constant real estate battle between these various religious groups, none of which are large enough to assert control over a region, or to grant minority rights.
Starting point is 01:01:05 So the only way I think to administrate it is just to have like little micro-states. And like there could be like little Jewish patches and little Muslim patches and then just have the holy sites administered by some centralized figure, like a king. And then just the job of the administration would just, be just be to keep the piece between the little little patches i think that's that's sort i mean that's not exactly how the ottomans did it but it's closer to how the ottomans manage this region than before and to my mind that's the only thing that works i i don't see how the the international world is is stable by having israel uh and and its neighbors constantly go to
Starting point is 01:01:49 war every 10 years this seems to be just it seems like we're constantly skirting up again a huge worldwide conflagration. And that doesn't seem to be like a very good use of resources. You catch them in the corner of your eye. Distinctive. By design. They move you. Even before you drive.

Give the gift of a unique experience this Christmas with vouchers from Trump-Dunbeg.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Search Trump-Ireland gift vouchers. Trump on Dunbiog, Kush Farage. Well, to invoke October 7th again, one thing that I've been tracking since October 7th, and I said it almost immediately, was there's a left Jewish and a right Jewish civil war going on. And it's definitely, obviously you can see it in the United States, but it was really coming to a head. It was coming to a head in, it was before October 7th. I mean, this has been happening for a while. But October 7th magnified it overseas because the reaction by Israel and everything that, you know, the bombing campaigns, the every, there's an excuse.
Starting point is 01:04:25 for, I mean, there's always a friggin terrorist hiding under, you know, an apartment complex of 2,800 people that needs to be killed. And for some reason, Americans are completely okay with civilian deaths when it come, as long as Jews are doing it. So, or if we're doing it, but I repeat myself. The, so, you know, my whole thing is now, it seemed like there were because of the war and what happens on October 7th, there was some kind of compact that was happening with left, right, and Israel, but as time has gone by, and this is worn on, and two million people have left the country, you're seeing this split back again.
Starting point is 01:05:10 And, I mean, I really think that what is going to end up happening is, and I've been predicting this for a while, and it just seems like it could happen, it seems more likely every day is, is that the left is going to win. that war. The left is going to win out. Lacude is going to be put down in some way. As soon as this war ends and all hostilities, Netanyahu's going to jail or he's going to be hung. I mean, that's what was going to happen before October 7th happened. He was going to jail for corruption. And the longer this war goes on, that's why he doesn't want the hostages rescued. He doesn't want a ceasefire. He wants this thing to keep going because it's his only legacy. He has one son
Starting point is 01:05:59 who's gay, so he has no legacy to speak of as far as his lineage that he's passing on. His only legacy is Israel. And if the left in, you know, they call Tel Aviv the gayest city in the world, if that left, if that left coalition overtakes Israel and basically turns it into, a modern European state, then we have, our problem is, our problem is solved. Well, I, I am technically, completely unaffiliated with either side in this war, but that would end Israel, for sure. I'm not so sure. It might trigger another war, though, right? Israel goes down the whole, I mean, it would cause demographic disruption that would eventually destroy. the state. And, you know, I guess that doesn't get me back to my based patchwork idea for managing
Starting point is 01:06:59 the Middle East. But it would, I don't know. I kind of don't like to see any people's destroying themselves. And so I really hope that they try to come to some way that everyone can live in their own little bubbles and not have to constantly declare word with each other. But, you know, I think that just this sort of, this, this coalition, this power coalition is just addicted to having their cake and eating it too. And they can't, they can't have half of it. They have to have all of it. And they have, and they have, they have to have special rules. They have to have special rules.
Starting point is 01:07:38 And so, yeah, I mean, we'll see what happens. I mean, I think that really, though, like the struggle for the future of the world is going to be in North America, not in the Middle East. because I think ultimately it's the State Department and corporate America and Silicon Valley and the media apparatus is here that will filter down. And if the left, if America does not want the left to come into power in Israel, they have enough allies in Israel to prevent that from happening one way, shape, or form. Right. So not that I really care of what happens in Israel in an immediate sense,
Starting point is 01:08:15 other than the general humanitarian concern. of wanting people not to kill themselves and wanting cultures not to be destroyed of any people's. The big battle is going to be in North America. This is what determines how the rest of the world is going to be managed. And whoever controls the media in North America, whoever controls people's hearts and minds across the rest of the world will be the people that decides the destiny of how we're going to govern ourselves globally. And this is where we are right now, right? There's going to be a battle in a short term between the right wing and then the O-Cons in Trump's first administration. And then we're going to get probably about a one-year reprieve from any kind of organized true left resistance.
Starting point is 01:09:07 And then I assume after one year they'll solve their narrative problems and get back on the scene. but I don't know like they could be the crippling qualities of their coalition might be deeper than that it might take them a decade to get back online even though that's hard to imagine and you know for us the the goal right now is to do as much expansion as humanly possible to figure out who our allies are who are our non enemies and what are the critical choke points for our enemies to come back at us So Trump needs to essentially lock down the electoral system, make sure nothing like 2020 can ever happen again, get the immigration under control, especially the illegal variety. And then, well, this is my first priority, then he needs to take on the educational institutions. And I think that he could use divisions in the alliance, the right-wing Jewish and left-wing Jewish alliance. He could use divisions in that to get what he wants. for our purposes here, we want entirely separate institutions. For Trump's purposes, I think he'll settle for like guarantees that they won't be
Starting point is 01:10:20 cuckoo crazy in the universities. And that's what his sort of, I don't want to say Jewish, but, you know, and his sort of ex-leftist, the ex-moderate progressives, the ex-moderate progressives that left in October 7th, they want him to just pass rules about how you can't be crazy on campuses. What we need to push for and what needs to be the compromise is that we get our, well, we get a separate educational system that is governed independently of the ordinary educational apparatus and that has guaranteed credentialing under certain objective standards. And that can be independently administrated, at least from the state level, but preferably through private entities as well in a sort of land grant system. The Department of Education needs to go down. I think Trump's been toying with that, right?
Starting point is 01:11:11 Like the primary and secondary education that needs to be a reset and all his energy needs to go in there. And if he does those things, then the entire political base of America could be changed going forward. There could be a new way of processing power in America and a new avenue for power.
Starting point is 01:11:30 And that has the potential for creating a sea change that could permanently break the progressive coalition. I'm glad you went there because that's where I wanted to end with is, um, you seem to imply that because the, because of what's happened since October 7th, the Zionist,
Starting point is 01:11:54 the Zionist Jews in this country have been on the attack of taking down, going after the educational institutions. Now, they never meant, they never mentioned the fact that, um, I've heard Rufo talk about how, oh, how successful Jews have been in academia in this country and everything.
Starting point is 01:12:17 And it's like, okay, well, what does successful mean? I mean, what kind of is successful in putting what kind of curriculum in there? So are you saying that you, are they useful at this point? Because to me, the way I look at it is if it's going to be America first and it's going to make America great again, Um, we're going to have to do everything we can to try to push the narrative that Trump has to stay, try to, it's going to be, it's, it's impossible to do it 100%, but to get as much Zionist influence, keep as much Zionist influence away from him as possible. Well, that cakes. Because that's right. He's, he's going to try to compromise, right? He's going to try to do half and half, right? I think that's just what's going to. happen, right? I think I think at this point I'll take half and half. Yeah. I mean, because it's the best
Starting point is 01:13:17 you can, it's better than 100%. And I don't think 100% is on the table. I think the people who are screaming that, oh, because of Marion Anderson's 100 million, 34 million. 34 million doesn't get you a friggin, it doesn't get you a sit down with Jamie Diamond at frigging J.P. Morgan Chase. So, you know, he doesn't know your name. So I don't think that 34 million is important. I think it's just what his natural sympathies are. And the best we can hope for is that he's one of these. I've said that I believe he loves the Jewish people, but I don't see him like being so much of a quote-unquote Zionist that he would start a war. I think, you know, like moving the capital of Jerusalem, which is just absolutely insane kind of thing. I think that was because, oh,
Starting point is 01:14:09 I like Jews and Jews want this and I'm going to do this for Jews. I don't think it's because he's some raving Zionist. He's like, oh, Israel needs to. He saw this. And, you know, if you didn't know the finer points of that conflict, it wouldn't be immediately apparent to somebody why that was big. To me, I think that he saw that is salutary. Like, oh, yeah, this is just something.
Starting point is 01:14:31 This is just like changing the colors on our logo. And now they like us. It's like this is cheap virtue. And you just like, and you know, rich people, they're always looking out for those cheap, those free lottery tickets, right? The things that you can do for very low cost to yourself that have huge impact on your counterparties opinion of you. And he presumed that that was one of them, right?
Starting point is 01:14:57 I'm thinking about how the education thing is going to play out. That's, that's, you know, other than the immigration and the voting security, which is not really my area of expertise. and it's more or less straightforward. You either do it or you don't. The education is going to be the biggest sticking point. You catch them in the corner of your eye. Distinctive, by design.

Trump on Dunbiog, Kush Farage. That's the last domino to fall of the woke. I wonder how we could do it. Yeah, I mean, maybe you could just make universities ungovernable by having, you know, the sort of, you know, pro-Zionist and anti-Zionist forces kind of tear the baby apart and then kind of on the side build a new thing that's kind of my hope is that
Starting point is 01:17:14 you know the the the star sneaches and the unstared sneaches are kind of just battle battle it out while we walk away with all the money it would be the if you know the reference to the dr sus thing um he hasn't he hasn't done a he hasn't appointed anyone over the department of education yeah i heard he might get rid of it is that a possibility Well, yeah, but he'd probably have to appoint someone to dismantle it. Okay. I mean, that's where it is. I mean, that's what I've heard about what a possibility for the FBI as well.
Starting point is 01:17:51 But the, and not so much that the FBI would disappear, that the FBI would just become something different. Yeah. But it seems to me that if you appointed someone at a Department of Education who was just, I mean, somebody who is like, Matt Gates is where he is to basically, prosecute Trump's enemies. That's exactly why he was put there, and that's exactly why Trump's lawyer is there now, too. If you put someone at Department of Education who was like, okay, you do this, this, or we seize your endowments, then you start down the road. I mean,
Starting point is 01:18:25 you see one, if one college has their endowments, like if you take Harvard's endowments, which is in the, I mean, the billions, they could run, I saw a number of said for 15 years, could run with not even taking tuition and they could pay everyone and everything. And if you take that from one college, like, do that at Harvard, everyone else is going to fall in line. Yeah. So, I mean, you just really need to make, you know, it's that, I think you make an example out of one and everyone else falls in line. I think you might need to do something that radical.
Starting point is 01:19:03 I mean, the first time around, Betsy DeVos was not going to be that radical. If you're just for school choice, okay, school choice is great, but that doesn't solve the problem. The problem is still that people are putting their kids into schools that are turning them into little progressive soldiers. And that has to be, that has, I mean, we don't even talk about the edge about higher ed. To be honest, all has to go down. Like, ideally it would all just be, the whole system is this corrupt to the core, right? I mean, like, school choice is not really the answer. And it's not, you know, school choice is a primary school,
Starting point is 01:19:43 secondary school thing. It's not a, it's not a university higher ed thing. So the, the higher ed problem is the main problem. Trying to get them to behave is going to be impossible, because these people do not believe that they, that the government has authority over them. So simply seizing the adalments. I mean, sure, the admins would fall in line.
Starting point is 01:20:11 The provosts would fall in line. But none of their admins would because their admins are under the impression that they're totally independent operators that have academic freedom. And so whoever has to reign in the universities is inheriting a nightmare. And I'd rather that nightmare be inherited by somebody who, you know, they can, they can try to untie the gaudy and not while we do something else or will another set of people do something else or create a new set of universities with new employees. Because you're never going to untangle the university system.
Starting point is 01:20:50 I just don't think it's reformable. You could take it down and move the money away. And I know that's not politically feasible to just say, oh, hey, the university systems are done because that's a huge cash cow with all this foreign money coming into it. But restructuring the universities so that all so that there's new ones that absorb all their useful elements, this has to be done all together. And, you know, I'm kind of in the Yarvin camp on that one. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:22 I mean, I think that reform at this point is, it's like the FBI. You're not going to reform the FBI. You're just going to have to, you're going to have to dismantle it in some way. Build a new one and then I think staff it with your own guys and then move the assets over that you think. think are necessary to make that job possible, right? Well, I think one plan that I heard was is you get rid of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, and then you just have, you have your field offices. And if you, and you make your employees become police.
Starting point is 01:21:55 They have to go out there and they have to find murderers and serial killers and cartel members and all these things. They have to be able to, you force them to earn their pay. you're going to have, you'll probably have 60 to 70% quit. Yeah. So, yeah, you just, you know, I think it was Cash Patel who said that, you know, basically when you have the Jay Edgar Hoover Building, what you have is you have a bunch of career employees who all they care about is their next, is their next raise, is getting
Starting point is 01:22:27 their next raise and their next promotion. So you have to take that incentive. You have to make that incentive that's based upon performance and performance in the field. And so all this stuff can be cut back. You know, it's like, you know, famously we've heard the State Department doesn't even need to exist anymore. It can be the president on Zoom with three of his advisors. You know, so hopefully this is some of the, some of these things are looking to happen because when I see Gates being put there, what that tells me is somebody who has been framed into, oh, trafficking, he's been trafficking 17-year-old, I mean, completely framed.
Starting point is 01:23:10 Ryan Dawson today just is doing a stream telling you who the actual traffickers are in this. He's like naming names of the people who framed Matt Gates for this. And I think Matt Gates has enough of a chip on his shoulder that he's going to do whatever Trump says, well, take this down, take this down. Or, you know, you have, if you have someone like Elon, and Vivek, who are in this, you know, in Doge, this new thing. And they're like, okay, this is who we need to go after next. I mean, I think they just put a pit bull. They just put a pit bull at AG, at AG, and he just goes after all of our, you know, all of our enemies. And when I say our, I'm not
Starting point is 01:23:54 talking about, like, the quote unquote dissonant, right? Whatever hell that is. But Americans, Americans, enemies, you know, and, and seeks to take him down. And is it, is it a tall, task sure is it going to happen who the fuck knows but at least it looks right now like there are plans being made to do that because I saw that it uh an interview today and people at the department of justice are shitting their pants they're yeah they're quitting they're this is amazing yeah this is exactly what you want right all you have to do is put some psychopath like gates in there you know somebody who like gets interviewed and they ask them they said you said that the women who go to these marches are um or fat and nobody wants to have nobody wants to have
Starting point is 01:24:43 sex with them um do you stand by that yes you know he's like he just doesn't give a fuck yeah and it's it's nice to see that and that's the kind of thing that um you know it just needs to be carried carried through it has to be and there's so many opportunities too like there's all people a female who were saying that they wouldn't support Trump people. They wouldn't give aid to them. These are avenues for corruption investigations, right? Yeah. And here's the thing.
Starting point is 01:25:12 Another thing is these people just painted targets on their back. It's not like you have to go looking for them. They're right there. You know who they are. And, you know, it's talking about my friend Luongo again. He said, you know, you march into an office and you say, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired, you're fired. You two, stay there. Because we're going to go over what you've been doing and where are the fucking files. Yeah. Because right now, what I'm
Starting point is 01:25:39 scared is, is that the biggest digital bonfire in the history of mankind is going on. Yeah. Oh, yeah. They're zeroing out some, yeah, the sound you hear is hard drives rapidly zeroing out and defragmenting themselves. Everything's going to zero. Yeah, hard races are going on currently at the DOJ. And I don't know, we'll see. This is, it's kind of amazing. I kind of almost think how could, how could they let this happen, I guess? Do they have any more tricks up their sleeve?
Starting point is 01:26:17 I mean, if Trump, if Trump's used to go in the direction that he's going, then, and he has, you know, an attorney general and head of the Justice Department that are, that are lined up to clean house. He's going to, you know, the sky's the limit with what the damage you could do to the deep state. Oh, and another thing that people are not going to, if you don't follow finance and SEC and things, he's appointing Jay Clayton, who's a former SEC,
Starting point is 01:26:53 it's basically his guy. As the attorney, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. And this guy is, he's Trump's guy. He is, anyone who knows what the Southern District in New York is, is, it's basically the police of Wall Street. And what I think is going to happen, because I've been following what Jerome Powell has been doing at the Fed is, it looks like there may be, if Clayton is in there, he'll
Starting point is 01:27:27 probably go after the foreign, the banks that have too much foreign influence on, on, on Wall Street. He'll leave J.P. Morgan alone. He'll leave his, he'll leave, you know, the people who are friendly with what Jerome Powell's been doing at the Fed for the last three years, basically going to war with the Euro, the Eurodollar in the Eurozone. And so, I mean, there's things that a lot of people don't see, but because I'm so deep into so many frigging corners of, um, corners of policy that I'm seeing things that other people aren't seeing. And I mean, this looks like it's an all out fucking war on the, on the home front. And I think, and I also think a lot of those initial picks for foreign policy were to get people concentrating on that and arguing over that. And then he starts bringing in
Starting point is 01:28:22 all these people domestically, and sure, Gates is going to cause some problems, but then he sneaks in his personal lawyer as to be deputy to Gates so that if Gates doesn't make it in, this guy slides right in there, and this guy's more of a fucking pit bull than Gates is. So it's like, I think there's a lot happening, and I mean, I'm not going to, I can't allow myself to become too Pollyanna about anything, because that's just not in my nature. But a lot of what I've been seeing, especially over the last year, seems to be coming to fruition. And I think a lot of people are allowing themselves, even people who've been listening to me talk about these things are allowing themselves to be distracted because of their anti-Zionism and not wanting to get our greatest allies influence away from us and not be our greatest ally anymore. or just be yeah so i've said this all along there's no reason like we should even know that israel
Starting point is 01:29:24 exists this tiny little country in the middle east i didn't know on 9-11 i didn't know cutter was a country i mean i that's how fucking clueless i was i had never heard of cutter i didn't know what the united arab emirates was these were countries that didn't mean anything and should never mean anything well we're we technically have in lines with armenia right we technically heaven lines with Armenian. There was an Armenian ethnic cleansing, like just earlier this year, no one cared about it, right? It just happened. Yeah. Yeah, and who armed Irish Zabaijan to do that? I actually don't know. Our greatest ally. Oh, I would have guessed Iran, right? But it was, it was, huh. That's, that's spicy. That's spicy. I would have,
Starting point is 01:30:10 I would have assumed it was Iran. You learn something every day, I guess, don't you? Yeah. I'll let you go. All right. Thank you. Thank you for your time. Please plug, point people in the direction they can read your work.
Starting point is 01:30:26 Of course. Please go read and listen to Dave because you're going to learn something every time. Yeah. So I blog at Substack at Fiddler's Litters from Fiddler's Green. And I have a YouTube channel and podcast called, the distributist that is on YouTube. You can find me there. And thanks for having me on, Pete. A lot of speculation this time. I'm feeling very, very cautious about all the predictions we made. But it was a lot of fun speculating on what's going to come from the second Trump administration,
Starting point is 01:31:00 which is really historic. Well, my friend Matt says that, you know, if you don't like to make predictions, that's fine. but when you do make predictions, then you at least have skin in the game. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, you can, you can, people are going to come back and go, hey. Yeah, people, you can be held accountable.
Starting point is 01:31:22 Well, yeah, and I'm not someone who has a problem with saying I was wrong, so I don't have a problem with any of this. So I'll make sure to, I'll make sure to provide all the links to your work. Thank you, Dan. Thank you very much. Good night.
