WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:02.560 Against Richie Torres, who pretty much is the definition of 2 00:00:02.600 --> 00:00:06.200 a swamp creature monster. That's his website right there. So, Jose, 3 00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:09.560 I want to cover this because the key aspect for 4 00:00:09.599 --> 00:00:11.759 the American people, I think is it's always been clear. 5 00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:13.160 It's the economy stupid, it's. 6 00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:17.600 Affordability, right, And you know this was ridiculous under Biden, 7 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:19.960 the rampant inflation, the lying about it in the gas 8 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:22.839 lot of the American people. The same thing is happening 9 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.760 under Trump, and it's directly what people voted against. I 10 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.960 want to read you a quote from establishment swamp creature 11 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:30.280 rhino Dan Crenshaw. 12 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:31.079 Overhead shot. 13 00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.640 Please crew, this is from Dan Crenshaw, just hearing about 14 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.840 this dumb twenty dollars burrito debate. So I thought I'd 15 00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.200 make the losers on social media angry before I go 16 00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:40.640 to bed. 17 00:00:41.159 --> 00:00:44.200 Stop whining, get a job, eat Ramen like. 18 00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:46.520 The rest of us did in college on a budget 19 00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.520 with four roommates. The market doesn't care about what you 20 00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:52.600 think something should cost. Only communists care. Now that's a 21 00:00:52.679 --> 00:00:55.359 nice framing, right. We don't have a mixed economy where 22 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.399 the government has massive interest in huge companies that dominate 23 00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:01.960 the economy. That's not going on, then everyone starves. Are 24 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.319 you a communist? Or you an American adult male capable 25 00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.319 of handling his own s word? 26 00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:08.519 What do you think of that? What's your opinion? What's 27 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:08.840 your take? 28 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:10.359 You? 29 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:13.280 Oh, you're upset that things are expensive now you can 30 00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:15.040 barely afford to feed your family? 31 00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.840 What are you a communist? Huh? Respect the markets? 32 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.879 What are you upset that it now cost one hundred 33 00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.319 and twenty dollars to fill up your car, your truck, 34 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.560 you know, just to get to work now where it 35 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.040 used to cost only fifty What are you some kind 36 00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:29.959 of communist? 37 00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:30.799 You know what I mean? 38 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:32.879 I want to put out a framing here, I want 39 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:34.400 to put out a framing. Here's the thing. 40 00:01:34.519 --> 00:01:37.359 This is straw that broke the camel's back because the 41 00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.079 twenty dollar burrito doesn't exist in a vacuum. 42 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:41.359 It's not just that. 43 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.760 That's gotten more expensive, it's the entire lifestyle being of 44 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.879 being an American and living in this culture that we 45 00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:49.000 have where you drive everywhere and go shop all the time. 46 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.079 We have a consumer economy. That's literally what the whole 47 00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:52.719 thing's based off. 48 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.680 What do you think, well, yeah, absolutely, I mean it 49 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:59.280 happened after you know, post NAFTA and even post Breton 50 00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.680 Woods too. The economic system that was holding up the 51 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.799 United States basically from the thirties all the way till 52 00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.120 it ended around the seventies. You know, we don't produce 53 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.439 things anymore. We rely on imports, We rely on things 54 00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:14.080 coming in. And that's part of the reason why, you know, 55 00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.439 with the Straight of Horror Moves being shut down, you know, 56 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.400 people need to understand something too, with the Straight of 57 00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.000 Horror Moves being shut down. It's not just gas, but 58 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.520 you're talking about stuff that's important, like agricultural products too. 59 00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:25.479 You're talking about all. 60 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.919 The fertilizer exactly right. 61 00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.280 It's only getting more expensive because it's getting speculated on. 62 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:34.840 It's unable to cross through the Straight of Horror Moves. 63 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:36.680 And I actually heard a report that even if the 64 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.639 wars all the wars, because Ukraine is a big exporter 65 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.520 of wheat as well, but if all the wars were 66 00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:48.000 to end tomorrow, the markets on agricultural goods that are 67 00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.479 required to actually grow the food we eat would not 68 00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:55.240 stabilize until at least twenty twenty eight. So think about 69 00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.680 the devastating impacts that this war has had already. You know, 70 00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:01.759 it reverberates everywhere in our economy. 71 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:04.919 Wen we on the network, we call it a COVID 72 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:07.719 of choice, That's what we call it. 73 00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:10.479 Explain that well, I mean during COVID, what do we have? 74 00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:13.159 We also had you know, mass famine, mass migration in 75 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.719 places as a result of that. And look what happened 76 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.840 there fauci Eco Health Alliance. That's all literally on the record. 77 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.960 They lied about funding the anifunction research at that very 78 00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:25.400 lab where the thing originated. So if they can, they 79 00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:27.159 think they can get that over on you. They think 80 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:28.879 they can get a war over on you, and that 81 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:30.719 think that people won't notice it. But I think people 82 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:31.919 are noticing it. What's your take? 83 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.919 Oh, well, absolutely, And I think the fact that the 84 00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:41.080 Trump administration has just continue to go headfirst into this 85 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:45.159 disastrous war it goes to show. See this actually goes 86 00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:49.280 way back to something that goes back to like the 87 00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:52.120 sixties and seventies when it was first being theorized that 88 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.280 there may be something called overpopulation, and there was this 89 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.159 big group called the Club of Rome that was publishing 90 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.439 materials saying we're going to run out of recess and 91 00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.560 that the best course of action is to start curbing population. 92 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.439 Growth, right, And like, I know, a lot of people 93 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:08.919 who may. 94 00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:10.560 Be following me who are on here for the first 95 00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.639 time may be surprised to hear me talk about this, 96 00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:13.560 but this is true. 97 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:13.919 You know. 98 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.319 It's like, so you had organizations and you even had 99 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.879 the United States government set up something called the Department 100 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.959 of Population Affairs. It still exists to this day. One 101 00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.199 of the things it does is it does reproductive health. 102 00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:30.720 It gives birth control and sex ed and all of 103 00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.160 the schools around the United States. But basically it was 104 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.519 that level of thinking which had actually influenced the foreign 105 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:40.519 policy of people like Henry Kissinger and others who were 106 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.920 starting wars in different countries to curb population growth. And 107 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.720 so what we're seeing now is just the next generation 108 00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:48.560 of that, of this. 109 00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.079 Belief that's too many people on this planet, right, And 110 00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:54.519 that's the key for people to understand. They want like 111 00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:57.000 five hundred million people or less, like that's what the 112 00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.720 elite people have decided is best for the planet. And 113 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.360 you know, no one votes for them, no one decides 114 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.399 no one gets to regulate their illegal activities. But somebody 115 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.759 like Bill Gates, like, hey, I just get to go 116 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:10.279 over and give people a polio in Africa. He's one 117 00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:12.920 of the leading causes of people getting polio in Africa. 118 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.519 On record, My great grandmother received the polio vaccine here 119 00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.079 and she was crippled for life. So like, this happens 120 00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:21.079 to people, and I knew her, like I grew up 121 00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.240 with her. I've seen this right. And when you have 122 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.920 people that play god, they're not even doctors, they're not 123 00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.560 even scientists. The guy literally dropped out of college. You're like, well, 124 00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:31.920 why do you have this outsized influence in power? Why 125 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.000 can't you take a country to war? Do you stabilize 126 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.879 the country's economy or help, you know, create a situation 127 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.160 where maybe we have a virus pop out or something 128 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.839 like that. And they just say, well, we're successful for 129 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.639 a reason. We figured something out, and if you don't 130 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.920 let us run your system, we're going to destroy it. 131 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.600 And I think that's really America and really the world 132 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:52.319 being held hostage. And that's what I always point out 133 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.199 about people like that. What do you think I'm. 134 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.600 About to blow people's minds Because a lot of people 135 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:01.959 see Bertrand Russell today as like this aggressive anti war figure, 136 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:05.199 But if you look at his writings from the nineteen forties, 137 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:09.000 he was saying the best ways to control population is disease, 138 00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.000 its birth control, and its war. 139 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.000 Those are the three things he was saying. 140 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.800 And he was advocating for the United States to use 141 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:20.199 a nuclear weapon on the Soviets before they could develop 142 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.000 there so that the United States could be the sort 143 00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.199 of king over all the other countries, because there needed 144 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:28.680 to be a balance like in the animal kingdom, where 145 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.360 the United States needed a reign supreme over all the others. 146 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.720 And Trump believe that that's exactly the ideology what you're 147 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:37.839 describing there, So go into it. 148 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:39.839 Who is this guy and what's the context of the. 149 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:44.199 Quote, Oh Bertrand russell Man was like, now he's seen 150 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:45.959 as like a peacenak. In fact, like you know the 151 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:49.319 peace sign that exists today this and like the peace 152 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.560 sign he had actually was the he was the inspiration 153 00:06:52.680 --> 00:06:54.680 behind it. And he was you know, anti war in 154 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.040 Vietnam and whatnot. But the nineteen forties and fifties, like 155 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.000 he was, you know, collaborating with peace people like Einstein 156 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:03.399 and whatnot. And he had founded this thing called the 157 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.480 Congress for Cultural Freedom. But basically he was like putting 158 00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:10.959 out there in academia. He was getting all the intellectuals, 159 00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:15.160 all the oligarchs to be like, yo, population control, let's 160 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.560 get in on it now, because we have to keep 161 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:20.160 it low because there's a balance of nature or whatever. 162 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.519 So he was one of the first people in making 163 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.560 popular the idea that we need to curb the population. 164 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.000 He was like a next generation of Malthus. You know, 165 00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.800 you heard of Malthusianism. Yeah, that's what he was. He 166 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:36.800 was just continuing that forward for a you know, then contemporary. 167 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.639 Audience of whoa, no way you have. 168 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.120 The German Congress for Cultural Freedom. Wow, sorry, that's pretty background. 169 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.800 Yeah yeah, yeah, you guys, Yeah, that's awesome. But yeah, 170 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.360 you know, and like the Congress of Cultural Freedom was 171 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:55.800 also responsible for spreading modern culture as well, Like they 172 00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.160 were pushing people like Jackson Pollock and modern art and whatnot. 173 00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.319 They say was to compete with the Soviets. It was 174 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:04.120 actually to make our culture pretty stupid, you know, so 175 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:07.160 that people would then become docile and they wouldn't rebel 176 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.160 against the olive archs. Like you know, the nineteen forties 177 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:14.759 and fifties, especially that post FDR era was crucial for 178 00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.000 breading the culture. 179 00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:17.879 Creating the culture. 180 00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.079 Yeah, so explain that all so give us a deep 181 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:22.279 dive on this guy. 182 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.680 Really how he created that culture? 183 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.879 So he went around, did he establish clubs or foundations 184 00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:27.959 or organizations? 185 00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:28.480 What did he do? 186 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:33.080 Yeah, so apart from the Congress for Cultural Freedom. And 187 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.000 you know, actually one of the people that you know, 188 00:08:36.039 --> 00:08:38.320 I worked with, Lynda Laruchell, he passed away a while ago, 189 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:41.279 but like they they they put you know, Bertrand Russell 190 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.519 as an evil man. You know, that's one of their 191 00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.399 popular essays that they had published a while back, and 192 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.679 one of the first things I had read. But basically, like, 193 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.000 you know, this guy was also like when he was 194 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.759 coming up as a college student, he was also coming 195 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:59.960 up with like senine and completely insane mathematical and scientific 196 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.240 theories that would just fall apart, right, So it was 197 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.320 like his he was doing like a cultural intervention all over, 198 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:11.120 not just in art and science and science, but mathematics 199 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.799 as well, and in population affairs. He was advising governments 200 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.480 here and there. He was seen as like this, you know, 201 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.519 just towering intellectual figure who was at the end of 202 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.320 the day, just a Malthusian. And it's interesting because if 203 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:26.080 you were to ask a lot of peace necks today, 204 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.960 people who I'm friends with people who have utmost respect 205 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.480 or anti war. They look up to this guy as 206 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.960 like some you know, honorable anti war dude who was 207 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.679 an advocate against you know, the nuclear bombs and stuff. 208 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.200 But it is not true. He's one of the reasons 209 00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.320 why we're actually in the mess that we're in today. 210 00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.519 So anyway, I didn't mean the tangent off of just 211 00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:47.159 uf vertue. 212 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:48.000 No. 213 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.679 No, I wanted to ask you because people have to understand, 214 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.840 like the current elites, they stand on the shoulders of giants, right, 215 00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:55.480 And this has been planned out for a long time. 216 00:09:55.480 --> 00:09:57.559 There's various different iterations of it, but this is like, 217 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.840 this is the origins of the swam that we're talking 218 00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:04.120 about here, getting people cool with the idea just globally 219 00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.440 of hey, we're going to have this feudal system, we're 220 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.039 going to have this cast system. It's going to be 221 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.200 implemented our way because if we don't do it, someone 222 00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:13.159 else's that's always the excuse. It's like you say, lave 223 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.480 of the jungle, right, someone has to be the tiger. 224 00:10:17.159 --> 00:10:19.799 Yeah, And that's the other important thing that people need 225 00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.759 to understand. This idea of law of the jungle. It 226 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:26.799 very much is the methodology or I guess even the 227 00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.840 ideology of a lot of the people that put us 228 00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:34.360 into war today because they see everybody as animals, including themselves. 229 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.320 So when you're talking about people like Mike Pompeo, or 230 00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.559 you're talking about neo CON's like John Bolton, like they 231 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:44.279 see themselves as animals, they see everybody as animals, but 232 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.399 that they see themselves as the alpha dogs, as the 233 00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:47.240 top dogs. 234 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:49.080 And for them it's just. 235 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.159 A matter of you know what we have to you know, 236 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.360 we have a responsibility to be the top dog. So 237 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:55.679 we get to say who gets to be a slave 238 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:57.519 and who gets to be leaders, because that's the only 239 00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.240 way in which you can ever have like a functioning society. 240 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:06.240 And even that goes way back to people like Aristotle 241 00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:10.159 and Plato, because there was like this whole division are 242 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.799 we people or are we not? And Plato are we 243 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.840 animals or are we not? And Plato loved human beings. 244 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.240 He was like, no way, man, everyone has an ability 245 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.080 to think and reason. Aristotle puts it out in one 246 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.919 of his most popular works, Politics Book, one paragraph six. 247 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.600 Are some people born to be slaves and some people 248 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:29.519 born to be kings? 249 00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:31.840 Yes? And you should be happy to. 250 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:35.080 Be a slave, because you know what, you're a human slave, 251 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:36.720 and that's better than being an ox. 252 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:40.240 You know where you're talking about you're talking about natural slavery. 253 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:43.200 That's we're talking about the philosophical. 254 00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:44.080 Idea of it. So go ahead and get into that 255 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:44.559 if you win. 256 00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:45.679 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 257 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:45.799 No. 258 00:11:45.879 --> 00:11:49.519 This is like a big idea that had ruled for 259 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.399 centuries after. But Aristotle was one of the people who 260 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.159 popularized it. And that's another one of these figures of 261 00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:58.600 people who think that should be so revered. And oh Aristotle, 262 00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:01.759 Aristotle was an idiot. He thought that our biggest, our 263 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.639 best sense, you know, because we have five senses, was 264 00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:07.159 our ability to touch things, you know, because animals can't 265 00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.039 touch things the way human beings can. 266 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:14.679 But I'll figure it out. Wow, genius to learn. 267 00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:20.200 Okay, No, And but he had this idea that some 268 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.200 people are born to be slaves and some people are 269 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:23.080 born to be kings. 270 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.840 And that's one of the reasons why you also had monarchies. 271 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.639 They would quote Aristotle, they would be like, listen, like, 272 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:31.120 you know, this is just the way God wants things. 273 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:33.600 You know, God made you the lineage of a king 274 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.639 for a reason, and he made me a peasant for 275 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:37.879 a reason, and who am I to disobey God? That 276 00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:43.840 was Aristotle's you know, thinking and methodology, and this was 277 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:48.320 a big fight because Socrates and Plato were vehemently against 278 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:49.120 that idea. 279 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:51.679 They really did believe that everyone was created equal. 280 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.360 And people can read Plato's Meno Dialogue for that proof 281 00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.440 there where he proves that a slave boy is actually 282 00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.120 more intelligent than the slave owner. It's a whole thing 283 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.039 to get into it. Yeah, and see even that painting 284 00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:05.279 right there is a critique of Aristotle. The way he's 285 00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:10.120 holding his book prevents him from walking into the discussion further, 286 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.159 because that's part of the bigger painting called the School 287 00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.000 of Athens. Whereas Plato has his book tucked in so 288 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.200 he can walk freely, Aristotle can't walk any further because 289 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:21.360 his own thinking represented by the book prevents him from 290 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:24.480 walking further, whereas Plato can walk wherever he wants. 291 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.120 So anyway, I know, we're going everywhere with this. 292 00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:29.600 Super This is great. 293 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:33.240 People need to understand because ultimately these are thousand plus 294 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.480 year old ideas, two thousand and four thousand year old ideas, 295 00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:39.720 and everything in the modern world is designed to distract 296 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.240 you confuse you. Whereas these people they know kind of 297 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:45.360 like the deeper law of like the universe, society, how 298 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:49.240 really human civilization functions and works. And when you understand 299 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.159 even a little bit of that, you will start to 300 00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.200 understand really. 301 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.360 All of geopolitics, world politics, because. 302 00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:57.200 It is about ultimately the interest that deemed themselves superior 303 00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:59.559 and you inferior, and by nature of that, they have 304 00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:02.759 the right to oppress you. Like that's exactly, that's greater Israel. 305 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:04.679 That's literally what they believe. 306 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:10.360 Right, And that's why poverty is a choice of political will. 307 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:15.080 The leadership in the country makes poverty happen. It's artificial, 308 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:16.879 it's you know, and they want you to think, well, 309 00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.639 you know, if like what Dan Crenshaw's doing there, He's like, well, 310 00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:21.000 you know, if you just pulled yourself up by the 311 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:23.799 brutstraps and eight ramen for ten years, maybe you might 312 00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:24.840 be able to afford a house. 313 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:26.480 That's not true, you know. 314 00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:30.840 And he is one of these Aristotelian Bertrand Russell thinker 315 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.679 types who want you to believe that you're supposed to 316 00:14:34.759 --> 00:14:37.240 be poor, because you're supposed to be poor, and you 317 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.120 should suck it up and you can maybe live a 318 00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.440 little more comfortably. Meanwhile, they can live in their ivory towers. 319 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:44.200 You know, that's what they do. They live in their 320 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.679 ivory towers. Dan Crenshaw's good. He's going to retire as 321 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:49.440 a congressman or no, no longer congressman. He's still going 322 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:50.799 to get the pension. He's still going to be living 323 00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.879 off of the taxpayer funds of everyday people like you 324 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.080 and me. That's what happens when you serve at least 325 00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.399 more than one term in Congress. 326 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.320 It's a really this is why I don't. 327 00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:05.279 You know. 328 00:15:07.200 --> 00:15:07.600 Here's the thing. 329 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.240 We're in the third hour, we got seven minutes left 330 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:12.799 in this segment. You're all good, Just like what is 331 00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:16.320 your message to the American people about like recognizing this 332 00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:18.960 like elite strength within our politics and now your campaign 333 00:15:19.080 --> 00:15:19.879 is working against it. 334 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.559 The thing is that you are more powerful than you 335 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:28.200 think you are. You know, there is this line from Shakespeare, 336 00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:30.120 Oh brutus, you know we. 337 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.080 Are like you know, yes, we are. 338 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.480 Like underlings basically, but I actually think that we are 339 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.720 much more powerful than we think we are. In our 340 00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:42.679 real power comes from the idea that we are created 341 00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:44.879 equal and we are creating in the living image of 342 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:47.759 the Creator. And when you have that idea, when you 343 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.759 start like, if that's your guiding principle right there, that 344 00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.919 every human being is created equal, you are already superior 345 00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:58.200 to these neocons who have bombs, who have nuclear weapons, 346 00:15:58.200 --> 00:15:59.159 who have tanks. 347 00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:01.000 Well, let me kind have let me let me make 348 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:01.399 them in there. 349 00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:03.559 Yeah, that's the thing, is like we're all the same, 350 00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:05.200 We're all created in the image of God. You don't 351 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.720 have the right to do these things to people. Ultimately, 352 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.399 that's the thing, Like, it just we can't do it. 353 00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:14.519 And when you see them do it, like everyone has that, Like, 354 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.799 what's the first stage of grief. It's denial, right, It's like, oh, 355 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.840 that's not the situation. They've made us pay for murder 356 00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:23.480 and they've normalized that emotion. 357 00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:27.320 What do you think, Yeah, absolutely, because they've made you 358 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.799 forget what it means to be a human being, you know, 359 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:31.600 And I mean I have this problem to a lot 360 00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:34.000 of people have this problem too. You know, where we 361 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:38.639 find ourselves scrolling through TikTok or Twitter or Instagram endlessly 362 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.480 and we get caught up on stuff that ultimately doesn't matter, 363 00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.600 when within our own heads is this ultimate power, which 364 00:16:45.639 --> 00:16:50.240 is called reason, and creativity where you actually have the 365 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.639 ability to do whatever it is you want to do 366 00:16:52.799 --> 00:16:56.879 and it's all here in your head.
