The warning signs are flashing red, but most Americans aren't connecting the dots. While we're distracted by the daily political circus, something far more dangerous is taking root in American politics—a new strain of fascism that's finding a comfortable home within mainstream conservatism.
In this deeply insightful examination of America's political crossroads, I break down how modern fascism operates: not through jackboots and overt dictatorship, but by allowing private businesses to maintain a façade of independence while forcing them to serve nationalist interests. This isn't just about Trump or MAGA—it's about the extremist ideologies gaining acceptance from both ends of the political spectrum.
What makes this moment particularly perilous is our economic vulnerability. With mortgage rates at 7%, the housing market cooling, and our national debt spiraling beyond control, we're creating the perfect conditions for extremism to flourish. History teaches us that economic crises don't just destroy wealth—they destabilize democracies. Germany was "the most liberal, educated country in Europe until Hitler got his hands on it because of a little economic upset."
The solution isn't found within our existing political framework. Both parties have been corrupted by a system that attracts power-hungry individuals rather than public servants. Anti-politism offers a revolutionary alternative: random selection of qualified citizens who bring real-world success and common values to governance. By transforming politics from career to duty, we might yet avoid the collision course between socialism and fascism that threatens to tear America apart.
Don't dismiss these warnings as hyperbole. The financial crisis looming on the horizon will make the Great Depression "look like a walk in the park," and when it arrives, mainstream America will be vulnerable to extremist solutions unless we've prepared alternatives. Pick up "A Radical Reset" to understand how anti-politism could be our path forward before it's too late.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning everybody.
It's Friday.
I didn't do a podcast Monday orWednesday and it wasn't
laziness, it was sheeroverwhelmed and kind of put off
by the amount of political newsthat's being generated lately,
particularly coming out of theWhite House.
You know, there's such a thingas just too much, even too much
of what a lot of people think isa good thing, but I'm not going
(00:22):
to get into.
You know, it's just that whenevery day there's something new,
from the silly to the sublime,you know, from Epstein to
promoting energy production, tokeep our edge in AI, I mean, you
know, there's just so much ofit that it's hard for me as a
podcaster to choose what I'mgoing to talk about, and
particularly in relation toanti-politism.
(00:44):
To choose what I'm going totalk about, and particularly in
relation to anti-politism,because in an anti-political
world things would be so muchcalmer.
So I want to do a quick reviewof why.
That is why that statement thatthings would be calmer if this
was anti-political.
And then I want to talk about asurging danger, and instead of
the surging danger from the left, which is what the Republicans
constantly talk about, I'm goingto talk about the surging
(01:06):
danger from the left, which iswhat the republicans constantly
talk about.
I'm going to talk about thesurging danger of the right and
the new fascism that isinfiltrating and infecting the
republican party.
Now, when I use the wordfascism, I want you to
understand I'm not using it likea democratic activist, as an
anti-politist and as alibertarian both.
I don't care which one of theunit parties wins.
When I run for Congress, I've,by the way, filed my letter of
(01:29):
intent with the state of Arizonato run in the libertarian
primary, which I'll win.
I'm going to be the onlycandidate in the libertarian
primary.
I know this because I'm inconstant contact with what you
might call the Maricopa CountyLibertarian Party.
What you might call theMaricopa County Libertarian
Party.
The Libertarian Party is theonly third party in the United
(01:51):
States that has access tovirtually every ballot in the
country, and it's a legitimatethird party.
But at the same time, it'snever done very well at anything
, because it's like herdingkittens when you get a bunch of
libertarians together.
Libertarian originally was acatch-all term to replace
classical liberal, becauseliberalism had been taken by the
left and had been converted tosocialism, which is not what
(02:14):
classical liberalism is at all.
Progressivism and socialism arenot parts of classical
liberalism.
Classical liberalism would bedefined I mean, I'm not going to
give you a textbook definitionbecause this isn't a textbook
discussion but it comes down tothis Do what you want in the
privacy of your own home and thepublic.
And the government should do aslittle as it possibly can
(02:35):
because it messes up pretty mucheverything it touches.
It's just a classical.
It's not conservative becauseit doesn't hang on every value
and try to protect valueswithout thought.
You know, conservatism resistschange and progressivism is its
counterbalance.
And if it was, if they were inbalance, that would be one thing
.
But they're not.
And modern conservatives havebeen completely sidelined by
(02:59):
MAGA.
And MAGA, which sounds great,make America great again.
Who could argue with that?
And MAGA, which sounds great,make America great again.
Who could argue with that?
But unfortunately, because ofthe nature of MAGA or Trumpism
or call it whatever you want,it's opened the door to the new
kind of fascism.
So first let's talk about whatfascism really is.
(03:22):
Fascism and communism have alot in common.
So the communist manifestobasically says to each according
to their needs.
Fascism says and so thereforethe state takes over the means
of production.
The state owns the means ofproduction.
It takes the profit out andgives everybody what they need,
and there's no capitalist fatcats to prey upon the people.
In the eyes of of the Marxistand I'm being very simplistic I
(03:43):
know that and I encourage beingvery simplistic I know that and
I encourage everyone to read theCommunist Manifesto If you
haven't really it's worth it.
It's not Mein Kampf, it makesits case.
It's not the screed of alunatic.
But anyway, fascism isessentially the same thing, only
(04:05):
it replaces the state ownershipwith state control.
So private businesses isallowed to maintain the facade
of being private so long as itcarries out policies in line
with what's in the nationalinterest, as determined by the
ruling party.
That's fascism, by the rulingparty.
(04:27):
That's fascism, and that'sexactly, if you think about it.
Or I don't want to use the wordexactly, but you could draw an
easy parallel to what, forexample, the Trump
administration is advocatingtoday.
They advocate policies.
They'll go along with privatebusiness so long as private
business goes along with them.
But if you don't, they'llpunish the living crap out of
you, and that is the nascentfascism.
And so, on the right you have alot of people like Nick Fuentes,
(04:51):
who's a white supremacist, orAndrew Tate, who's a
professional misogynist and youknow, in any number of podcasts
and publications like theAmerican Reporter and things
like that, the American ReformerI'm sorry, these people on the
right.
This is not a fringe movement.
This is to the Republican Partyas the progressives are to the
(05:12):
Democratic Party.
It's about 10 to 20% of theMAGA movement which is fanatical
.
It's latently anti-Semitic,it's latently isolationist, it's
latently misogynist and it'sled by really ugly people and
unfortunately right now it'seasy to poo-poo them as fringe
and write them off, and we wouldnever act like that.
But evil has a way ofinsinuating itself in the way of
(05:34):
.
You know, the road to hell ispaved with good intentions.
We've all heard that many, manytimes and I have no doubt in my
mind that the MAGA folks in themainstream mind that the MAGA
folks in the mainstream, the 80%who just want to make America
great again and embrace thatphrase and don't think it
through too deeply, would rejectthe idea that they're
anti-Semitic or that they'reisolationist or that they're
(05:57):
misogynist.
But these people on the rightdon't even bother to disguise it
and right now they seem like afringe movement.
But they're gaining groundbecause things that they're
saying are creeping into thevernacular of the mainstream,
some mainstream MAGA people.
So I'll talk about a few.
Uh, candace Owens, who,amazingly, I used to be such an
(06:19):
admirer and then she wentanti-semitic.
So number number one CandaceOwens, I think, might be an
idiot, because I once saw hernot want to, she literally
defended that she thought therewas a possibility that the earth
was flat.
I'm not making this up, you cansearch this stuff up.
It's an otherwise intelligentwoman saying well, you know she
was doing the weasel and I don'tunderstand that at all.
(06:41):
Some things are justobjectively true.
The earth is not flat.
We have pictures from many,many, many, many many.
We have millions of picturesfrom space proving it how
there's a lunatic fringe, andit's one thing if that they
exist among the literally crazy.
But when someone like CandaceOwens, who holds herself out as
a spokesperson, won't come rightout and say it is just beyond
belief.
But that's not the what, herbelief.
(07:02):
That bothers me the most, it'sher latent anti-Semitism.
It's her entertainment ofJewish conspiracy theories.
For those of you who think thatthere's a possibility that
there's some great Jewishconspiracy, number one, it's
important to consider number onethe only banks controlled by
Jews in the world are Israeli.
There are no major Americanbanks or European banks
controlled by Jews.
(07:23):
The Rothschild family was deepin banking at one time in Europe
.
They're out and, as far as Iknow, all the major banks in the
United States trade publicly,which means they're owned by
their shareholders and themanagement is not particularly
Jewish.
The biggest bank in the world,the most successful bank in the
world, is JPMorgan Chase.
Its head is Jamie Dimon.
Jamie Dimon is not Jewish.
(07:44):
I believe he's Lebanese.
Actually I'm not positive, butI know he's not Jewish.
He might be Syrian, one of theothers.
Anyway, it's pointless to bringup his background, because he
lives in New York City and knowsplenty of Jews.
He's the furthest thing from ananti-Semite.
I don't mean to point out thatthe head of the largest bank in
the world is an Arab and an anti.
Not at all.
I'm a huge admirer of JamieDimon.
(08:05):
That's not what I'm talkingabout.
I'm saying that the idea ofJewish control of banks and
therefore the world money supply, is absurd.
There simply are no bankscontrolled by Jews.
Then, of course, outside ofIsrael, bank Liomai is
controlled by Jews because BankLiomai is Israeli.
I mean, I don't know what elseto tell you, but I don't know
(08:29):
what else to tell you.
But I don't think that denotesor connotes even a world
conspiracy of Jews.
You know secret cabals of Jews,like in the Protocols of the
Elders of Zion.
A book that's been circulated,still is being circulated
actively in parts of the Arabworld and by the anti-Semitic
groups.
You can find it probably in anylocal office of the American
(08:50):
Nazi party, if you can find sucha thing.
This was a book written by theczars secret police that made up
this whole story about theelders of Zion, the centralized
Jewish group.
You know Jews are likelibertarians you can't control
them.
There is no, there is no headrabbi, there is no Pope-like
figure, there is no conventionthat rules over Jews are the
furthest thing from centrallycontrolled.
And yet everyone who thinks theJews are controlled think the
Jews are all conspiring, mostlythe joke among Jews and I speak
(09:14):
as a Jew myself.
I mean you put three Jews in aroom, you get 25 opinions.
I mean I just pulled thatnumber out of the air.
But Jews don't see the world asblack and white, they see it as
gray.
Consequently, they'reconstantly arguing with each
other.
If you ever watch what goes onin the Israeli Knesset, their
parliament.
Jews are not in love with eachother all the time.
(09:35):
Believe me, the Orthodox, whichare the ones that you who are
not Jewish would recognize withthe yarmulkes, the little skull
caps and have little thingscoming out from under their
shirts that's called tzitzit, orpray with tefillin, all these
different things that they doview the reformed Jews, which is
what I am, which is to say I'mJewish, I am a secular Jew.
Let me just say this straightout I honor and revere the
(09:57):
worship of God.
I really don't think he, she orit exists, but I'm very proud
of my Jewishness and I love theculture.
So I'm Jewish.
I love who I am.
I don't necessarily believe,nor do I reject.
I'm agnostic.
I've said it before, I'll sayit again I'm not an atheist,
because atheists are suchassholes.
I would never tell a person offaith that there's no God.
I would just say I stronglydoubt it and I can say the
(10:21):
objective reality is there's nota shred of objective, physical
evidence that God exists.
Now, belief was a lot easier inthe old days, before science.
So when people didn't know whythe sun rose and people didn't
know that the Earth was not thecenter of the universe, it was
easy to believe that there was aGod doing all these things, but
now that we know all this, Ifind it very hard to believe
(10:41):
that in a universe where we'restarting to discover multiple
universes.
I find it very hard to believethat, in a universe where we're
starting to discover multipleuniverses thanks to the James
Webb Space Telescope and we'reseeing all kinds of phenomena
that we never thought existed,and we're seeing that in our
galaxy alone there's billions ofplanets, I mean to me strange
credulity, but at the same time,who knows, I could easily be
wrong, digressing slightly,going down the rat hole of is
(11:05):
there life on other planets?
So far we haven't found any.
Maybe we are alone.
Maybe there is a God.
Maybe he picked out this onelittle tiny planet, this one
little corner of this one littlegalaxy among billions and
trillions of galaxies, wherehe's going to or it's going to.
Or maybe God is not universal,god's just the God of our planet
.
Maybe the Mormons have it right.
Maybe everybody gets a planet.
(11:25):
I don't know.
I don't know, and I don't knowis a word that human beings,
particularly human beings inpower, don't like, but we as
antipolitics I as the founder ofantipolitism embrace.
When you don't know, don't act.
You know, it's really very,very simple.
And if we followed that simplerule if you don't know, don't
(11:45):
act, think of how much simplerthe world would be.
But back to the subject matter.
Today these people on the newright are infiltrating into the
movement, these ideas, these inthe shady, dark corners, these
anti.
You know they pretend like we,like Jews.
We just don't like what Jews do.
Kind of thing is a verydangerous thing.
(12:07):
Understand, folks.
I'm not saying this justbecause I'm Jewish.
I'm just going to tell you anhistoric fact.
Any civilization that haspersecuted Jews on an organized
basis has ended up going downinto the ash heap of history.
Okay Now, if there's a God andJews were his chosen people
which, by the way, meanssomething different than what
you think it means chosen tobring law to mankind.
(12:29):
It doesn't mean chosen to bespecial and the only ones to go
to heaven.
That's bullshit.
Jews don't really believe inheaven, which is really kind of
interesting.
The afterlife thing is not abig deal in Judaism, but anyway,
I don't want to digress down toreligion.
That's my problem.
When you know a little bitabout a lot of things, you can
digress into all those thingswith your little bit of
knowledge and sound like you'resmarter than you are, then you
find yourself in a conversationthat's nothing to do with what
(12:50):
you're talking about.
So let's stay back on thesepeople creeping in Now.
Right now, the economy is good,but we're starting to see
warning signals.
So President Trump this weekand I'm back on subject here,
stay with me President Trumpthis week went to the Federal
Reserve publicly.
I personally think just I don'tunderstand why he did it, where
he went over and looked at thisconstruction project.
I do understand politically,but anyway, trump is constantly
(13:13):
in motion.
I think the guy has the world'sworst case of ADHD, and I'm not
saying this to be funny.
I suffer from ADHD.
I, for example, I have a hardtime sitting through an entire
movie.
I find like I have to get upand like get a popsicle or
something to suck.
I I feel like I movie.
I find like I have to get upand like get a popsicle or
something to suck.
I feel like I'm there arealways.
Whenever something occurs to me, I feel like I need to do it,
even if I'm on my way to doingsomething else.
(13:33):
That's kind of like what it'slike to live with ADHD.
It can make you incrediblyproductive because you have your
eye on a million differentballs, but it can also make you
incredibly unproductive in thesense that you don't focus long
enough.
So anyway, of course, anotherfeature of ADHD is that you can
hyper-focus.
So a person with ADHD attentiondeficit for those of you who
(13:56):
aren't into the initials what wefind out when we get interested
in something, we can do theopposite of not focusing.
We can focus to the point of wedon't hear or see anything else
.
It's kind of the bipolardisorder of working people.
I don't know.
I don't know quite the way toput it, but Trump definitely has
it.
And so we have a million thingsgoing on, and when all these
(14:16):
things go on, it's hard to keeptrack of the underlying story.
And the underlying story hereeconomically this week is that
interest rates, mortgage rates,are at 7%.
So Trump goes over and he seesJay Powell and he's beating up
on Jay Powell because the realestate market is dropping
nationally Now home sales aredropping and so on and so forth,
(14:37):
and Trump is blaming theinterest rates at 7% on mortgage
rates, and that is a littlehigh as mortgage rates go.
But why are mortgage rates 7%when the discount rate is far
below that?
And the answer is folks.
The Federal Reserve doesn't setinterest rates.
I know that people think thatthey do, but they don't.
All they do is set the interestrate that they charge the banks
when banks run out of cash andneed to get their hands on some
(14:58):
money to make big loans in theshort term.
I'm being simplistic.
There's more to it than that,but that's basically it as far
as what interest rates do on thelong side.
Right now, government bonds arepaying 5%.
Now the government bonds aren'tissuing them at 5%.
The government isn't issuingbonds at 5%.
What's happening is thatthey're being discounted in the
market so that they, in otherwords, if you have a $1,000 bond
, bonds are always issued in the$1,000 denominations and the
(15:20):
bond is being issued at 3%,which means it's paying $30 of
interest annually on the $1,000.
3% of $1,000 is $30, right,okay, you've got it.
Now the market says we don'twant to lend money to America
long-term at 3%.
We want 5% because we see thatAmerica's financial house is in
disorder and we're a littleunsure that America's going to
(15:43):
be able to pay it back.
So to take the risk, and that'swhat interest rates are.
They're the price of moneybased upon the risk of whether
the money will come back.
The financial markets and when Isay the financial markets, the
billions of people trading inthe bond markets globally are
saying we want 5%.
So what happens is that theexisting $1,000 bond is
discounted to $600.
So if you go to sell the bondyou paid $1,000 for and you're
(16:06):
collecting 3%, the new buyer isgoing to want you to discount it
to $600, so that the $30interest being paid is 5% of 600
.
Do you get it?
That's how bond prices work.
The price is discounted so thatthe interest you're being paid
is equal to what you could geton a new bond from someone else
issuing 5% bond.
So, anyway, to make a longstory short, the markets are
(16:29):
telling and the mortgage marketis 7%.
The markets are sending a flashsignal that the housing market
is a bubble and it is.
So what would happen and I'mgoing to tie this together now
what happens Right now?
Everything looks good, and theone kind of dark spot and Trump
sees it is this housingsituation, but it could easily
spill over into the stock market.
I mean, for example, teslastock is highly dependent upon
(16:52):
EV sales, and EV sales haveturned to shit since the big
beautiful bill killed the EVsubsidy, which I, by the way,
agree with 100%.
You shouldn't have to bribesomebody to buy a product.
But here we have an enormouscompany that makes up a gigantic
percentage of the StandardPorsche 500, as well as making
Elon Musk the richest man in theworld, that suddenly their core
(17:12):
product that they were foundedupon is much less attractive and
selling much worse globally.
China, who foolishly went allin on EVs, is now absolutely
wanting to shoot us up.
They can't give their cars away.
There are fields full of BYD, Ithink is the brand, and there's
a bunch of other Chinese EVbrands, fields of these EVs just
sitting there because nobodywants them the government.
(17:37):
And if you go back in my podcastand in things I've written and
said over the last few years,you will find out that from the
beginning, from the very start,I said EVs were a stupid idea
because nobody was asking forthem and in the history of the
world, no government has evercreated a market for a new
product.
So, based on that alone, I saidthat ours won't be the first
one to succeed, and I'm right.
(17:57):
Ok, but it's not right becauseI'm a genius.
I'm right because you can'tcreate a need for something that
nobody needs.
Nobody was asking for EVs,which you can't.
You know they lose their rangeif it's too hot.
They lose their range if it'stoo cold.
They lose their range ifthey're carrying too much weight
.
If they tow, their range goesdown to next to nothing.
Nobody was asking for them, butthe government decided we had
(18:18):
to have them.
We spent trillions, not billions, trillions on this waste of
time.
Now, all of this wasted money,like on what we've done on EVs
and everything else, whetherit's Trump's fault or not, is
all out there in the economy,not to mention our $37, $38
trillion national debt, which isreally $100 trillion more than
that I'm using round numbersbecause of unfunded Social
(18:39):
Security and Medicare, which now, we find out, is going bankrupt
sooner than we thought.
So what happens if the economyturns to shit and suddenly
Trump's support evaporates,which it will?
Okay, because Trump, the wholething that underlines Trump is
he's a businessman who knowswhat he's doing, and the first
time he was president we had agreat economy, and now we're
going to have a great economybecause the big, beautiful bill
has unleashed all this creativeenergy, and maybe so.
(19:00):
And if we get a boom, then theend will be delayed.
Believe me, if we get a boom,then the end will be delayed.
Believe me, inevitably.
What's coming is the UnitedStates is going to face a choice
between hyperinflation and adefault on its debt, and it
won't just be the United States,it'll be the whole world.
And when that day comes, it'snot an if, it's a when.
At this point, there's noavoiding it.
(19:21):
I was sitting at a libertarianmeeting last week and I was
asked by one of the people whowas questioning me as a
potential candidate what did Ithink, was you know was going on
?
And I said you know, what wouldI do to prevent what's coming?
Because everyone's worriedabout the debt, particularly on
the libertarian side, where youknow they're pretty skin flinty,
if you know what I mean.
And my answer was there's noavoiding it.
(19:42):
There's nothing that can bedone.
Now it's too late.
The weapon is baked in the bomb, the timer is ticking down.
The only question is when doesit go off?
Now, if the economy remainsstrong and the stimulus remains
strong and the big beautifulbill turns out to be a big
beautiful bill, and Trump isright and Scott Besant is right,
(20:02):
and we have tremendous growthand the growth exceeds the
percentage growth of our deficit, and we get things in order for
a time.
For a time, things will goalong great.
And then these lunatics on theright, these woke right fascists
, and the progressive leftfascists.
They're exactly the same.
You know.
The argument that they make onthe left is that you know
(20:23):
they're socialists and they'reopen about it, and guys like
Zoran Mamdani.
But his argument is well,everybody's done it wrong, but
we'll do it right.
Let me explain something to youguys.
Socialism has always failedbecause when you detonate a
nuclear weapon, you're going tokill somebody, okay.
So when you go into a countrythat's a capitalist country and
you suddenly say capitalismdoesn't work, we're going to
replace it with state control ofindustry, to whatever extent
(20:44):
you're doing it, you'rebasically throwing a nuclear
weapon into the way things workand the inevitable result will
be chaos and death.
It's happened every single time.
Every time socialists thinkwell, you know, it wasn't Stalin
, it was the system, don't you?
This is what people don't get.
The greatest mass murderer, orit's Mao Zedong, another
(21:05):
socialist mass murderer, pol Pot, another socialist mass
murderer, I can go down the listof socialists.
Now socialists will all saywell, those were communists.
Communism and socialism aresynonymous terms.
There's no difference betweenthem.
It's just communism is theultimate goal of socialism.
You know, socialists, they tryto soften it and call it
democratic socialism, call itwhatever you want, but central
control is a failure.
But they always blame it on theperson.
(21:31):
The reason that all those peopledied in Russia was Stalin.
The reason all those peopledied in China was Mao.
No, it's Stalin, which is who Iknow much more about than Mao
only because I was a Russianlinguist and worked at the
National Security Agency and I'mfascinated by all things
Russian and I'm very well readIn terms of Russia.
I'm very well read in general,but I'm very well read in terms
of Russia in particular.
Stalin was an intellectual, abrilliant guy.
(21:53):
He was picked by Lenin becausehe was the most able of all the
early Bolsheviks and as Leninstarted to have a series of
strokes, he was placed in a.
The office of general secretarywas created, which is what the
head honcho in the Soviet Unionwas called.
The general secretary wascreated by Lenin to keep things
running.
While he was recovering fromhis strokes, he didn't think he
was going to die.
No one ever does he died.
(22:13):
Stalin was the logical guy.
Stalin was a dedicated communistand a believer.
But when he went tocollectivize agriculture in the
Ukraine and he replaced privateownership with state ownership
of the farms and turned theminto what's called a kolkhoz,
which is a fancy Russian well,it's not even a fancy word, it's
just the Russian word forbasically a kibbutz, like they
did in Israel.
The same thing, only with statecontrol.
(22:34):
Only in Israel you can leavethe kibbutz.
The reason there was no massdeaths in Israel is that it was
a choice to live on a kibbutz inIsrael.
In Russia, everything had to bea kalkhuz and the kalkhuz was a
nuclear weapon in the lives ofagriculture.
So it killed millions andmillions of people.
That wasn't.
(22:54):
Stalin didn't set out to killmillions of people, he just
recognized it was the only wayto get to the socialist ideal.
When you have a true believer ina philosophy, which is what
socialists are, they willjustify what comes after they
take power.
First they say it's not goingto be us.
Then it is us, because there'sno other ways to do this.
You have to break eggs to makean omelet.
Well, the same thing is true onthe right, and if you let these
(23:16):
people in the door, it willevolve into full-blown fascism
very, very fast.
Fascism is arguably sort ofwhat we practice now.
Trump is a practicing fascist inthe sense and I don't like to
use it in the Hitlerian sense,because Hitler wasn't a fascist,
he was a national socialist and, in fact, for this discussion,
(23:54):
no-transcript debunkingparticularly groups on the left
by submitting ridiculous thingsto leftist academic papers and
submitting them as treatiseswhen they're complete nonsense,
and then they publish thembecause they don't bother to
read them and they basicallymade fools, particularly on the
(24:16):
issue of gender dysphoria ofpeople on the left.
That became a pariah.
Well, he started doing it topeople on the right, so now he's
a pariah to everyone and one ofthe groups he did just to prove
his point, similar to what I'msaying now.
Very similar is he took theCommunist Manifesto.
He took six pages of it,basically the summary of what it
is that Karl Marx wrote, and hejust changed out, you know,
(24:40):
instead of proletariat he putthe working people of the United
States or what you know.
He replaced out certain wordswith more nationalistic words
and he submitted it verbatim,the Communist Manifesto,
verbatim, okay, with just a fewwords changed, just to hide the
word communism within it andsocialism.
He took out every reference tocommunism and socialism,
(25:00):
replaced it with nationalism,submitted it otherwise verbatim
to the American Reformermagazine and they published it.
And then, when they discoveredthat they had been made fools of
, they said you know, weactually do embrace it.
I mean, that's nationalsocialism.
Hitler was a leftist, not arightist, he was a socialist.
Only he allowed privatebusiness to function so long as
(25:21):
it functioned in service of thestate.
So he let corrupt steel becorrupt steel so long as corrupt
steel made the steel for histanks.
So here in our country, ourmilitary industrial complex, our
energy establishment, ourdefense, you know, it's all at
this point being run for thenational interest.
That is what fascism is.
(25:42):
The government is dictating thepolicies of the country and as
long as it works, no one's goingto notice and it's going to
seem benign.
But the minute it turns ugly,that's when the blaming comes in
and that's where theanti-Semitism will flare up and
that's when things can turnreally, really ugly.
And that's why the right isjust as ugly as the left and
(26:04):
both sides need to be avoided.
And yet it is inevitable.
I think the story that the pressmainstream and non-traditional
are missing is that we'resetting the stage for a civil
war between socialism andfascism within our own country
and we don't even know thatwe're doing it and the way out
is anti-politism.
Why?
Okay, quick reviewAnti-politism says that serving
(26:27):
in federal office, state office,is a different story.
I don't speak to state, I justI'm just going to digress
quickly and explain this.
I don't speak to stategovernment because states can't
print money and since statescan't print money, they can only
damage themselves when they'remismanaged.
They can't bring down the other49.
So I think antipolitism willwork in most states, maybe not
(26:47):
all states.
If you're a very sparse statelike, let's say, wyoming, that
has less than a million people,has more cattle than it does
people.
I think it has more horses thanit does people.
Antipolitism, by the time youbreak out the population, you
might have too small a pool toget a decent selection to run a
(27:07):
state government.
In other words, if you have topick a bunch of state
legislators I don't know howmany people are in the Wyoming
state legislature, but let's sayyou had to pick 30 or 50, you
might have too small a pool tobe doing random selections over
and over and a lot of people.
I can see where it could becumbersome on a local level
because the pool isn't largeenough to get a good random
(27:27):
sampling, but on the other handI could be wrong.
About that too, I just don'treally speak to it.
I haven't given it a lot ofthought, I haven't thought it
through.
I will leave it to otherintellectuals within the
movement down the road to thinkthat through On a federal level,
which is what I'm speaking to,by setting up the requirement
that you have to be in the topthird of income earners over the
age of 35 and not have acriminal record.
(27:48):
Those are the threequalifications.
Everybody who has achievedsomething in their life and has
a couple of gray hairs basicallyhas common values.
Because in order to achievesuccess in a free market
capitalist economy which we'restill at least majority free
market capitalist you have toplay by the rules, and the
(28:09):
people that succeed are almostalways people that have a family
life.
It's almost always people whoare married.
It's almost always people whohave children.
It's almost always people whogo to church or synagogue or
mosque.
It's almost always people whohave children.
It's almost always people whogo to church or synagogue or
mosque.
It's almost always people whoprioritize the needs of their
families over anything else.
It's people with basically good, solid common sense.
That's how they rise to thatposition, regardless of their
(28:30):
color.
So you know, like when we talkabout the problems within the
black community in the UnitedStates and that about 55% of the
black community lives eitherlower between lower middle class
and poverty, there's still 45%of the black community, 45% of
13 million.
How many people know that?
It's just like 40, it's 13% ofthe population.
(28:51):
I think it's like 40 millionblack people.
Yeah, that's about right.
45% of 40 million people isclose to 20 million people
somewhere.
I just did that without evendoing the math.
But that's a lot of successfulblack people who, by the way,
share the values with successfulwhite people and successful
Asian people and successfulbrown people.
Values remain the same becauseit's the only at least
(29:15):
successful within the system.
You eliminate the extremes andsave the country from the
fascism and the socialism,because A you don't get the
idiotic.
Young people are dangerous onthis, because young people want
immediate help.
So on the left, you have 32million young people buried in
student debt that they have nohope from getting out of, they
(29:36):
can't bankrupt out of.
They can't stop paying on.
They can't stop paying on.
They're stuck.
And this debt is so large andso insurmountable and the
degrees and certificates thatthey got if they even got a
degree or certificate in runningup this unbelievably available
debt has put them permanentlybehind the eight ball, to the
point where they know they'llnever be able to buy a house or
start a business.
Consequently, they feel thatcapitalism has failed them.
(29:56):
Consequently, they've becomesocialists.
That's what's going on in theprogressive movement.
That's how Zoran Mandani won inNew York with, you know, mostly
a white vote, because it wasdisaffected white intellectual
kids who ran up enormous studentloan bills and now have no way
to pay them and feel thatcapitalism is to blame.
It's easier to blame capitalismthan your own stupidity for
taking a loan for a worthlessdegree.
(30:18):
You know as ridiculous as thestudent loan program was, if
anyone had an ounce of sensethey wouldn't have borrowed
money to get a degree in Africanstudies.
They just wouldn't have done it.
But you know they didn't thinkand now they're being hoisted on
their own petard.
They made a horrible mistake.
Well, because of this, you know, enormous mistake on the part
of 32 million people.
(30:38):
We have a burgeoning socialistcommunist movement in this
country and I know I'msimplifying, but I'm just
talking about the basic elementsof the base.
Then, on the right, it's alittle bit different.
On the right, you have the vastbulk of people who just feel
like they're tired of beingblamed and they're at the
extreme fringe of it.
And then someone comes along,like Nick Fuentes, and says it's
(31:01):
not you, it's those fuckingJews.
And he says it in a really, Imean, this is an old message.
This has been going on forthousands of years.
It's a tempting message todisaffected people on the right
and we are playing with it.
We don't see it.
We, you know, the mainstreampooh-poohs it.
Oh, there's not that many onthe right, oh there's not that
many.
Yeah, there's millions of them.
And you know what?
The Bolsheviks took over Russiaas a teeny, tiny, little
(31:24):
minority.
Read your history.
Teeny tiny Minorities can takeover majorities when the
majority has their head stuck uptheir ass, so far they can't
breathe, and that's kind ofwhere we are.
And that's kind of where we are, and that's why America needs
to be anti-political.
So pick up your copy of ARadical Reset at Amazon.
It's on Kindle paperback andhardcover and pick it up.
(31:45):
It's the Manifesto ofAnti-Politism and why it is the
way out of this mess.
Anti-politism is the way out ofthis mess.
Thank you very much.
Share this podcast with yourfriends.
Share this podcast with peoplethat will listen.
I know that I sound like afringe lunatic at this point,
(32:05):
but the radical becomesreasonable when the shit hits
the fan.
And, my friends, it isinevitable.
The shit is going to hit thefan, whether it hits tomorrow or
a year from now or five yearsfrom now.
It's going to hit sooner thanlater and we had better prepare
for it or we could all findourselves living in either a
communist or fascist country,and I know that sounds
(32:28):
hyperbolic, but that's what thepeople of Germany thought.
Germany was the most liberal,educated country in Europe until
Hitler got his hands on itbecause of a little economic
upset, and it was a lot ofeconomic upset and a lot of
national upset.
I don't mean to belittle it,but that's how you get it.
And if we find ourselveshurtling into a depression of
(32:49):
maximum proportion, that makesthe Great Depression look like a
walk in the park, which isexactly where we're headed.
If we're headed into either ahyperflation or a full-blown
collapse, otherwise decentpeople seize on horrible things,
and if there's not analternative, we're in big
trouble.
And the alternative is nothoping for more of the same.
A savior is not going to comeout of the Democratic Party.
(33:12):
A savior is not going to comeout of the Republican Party.
Because of the very nature ofpolitics, because only
sociopaths and psychopaths gointo politics anymore I'm making
a broad generalization becauseof the politics of personal
destruction.
Antipolitism gets rid of all ofthat and turns public service
into just that service, notcareer.
(33:33):
It turns it into duty, notambition.
And that's where I close today.
Thank you very, very much forjoining us, joining me, not
joining us.
I'm a singular person Forjoining me.
I'll be back on Monday.
I will not take another day off.
I just just so much going on.
I shouldn't say I won't do thisand I won't do that.
We'll see what tomorrow brings,but as things stand, I'll talk
(33:53):
to you on Monday.
Have a beautiful weekend, enjoyyour family.
God bless you, god bless yourfamily, god bless America.
And have a beautiful weekend.
Good morning everybody.
It's Friday.
I didn't do a podcast Monday orWednesday and it wasn't
laziness, it was sheeroverwhelmed and kind of put off
by the amount of political newsthat's being generated lately,
particularly coming out of theWhite House.
You know, there's such a thingas just too much, even too much
of what a lot of people think isa good thing, but I'm not going
(00:22):
to get into.
You know, it's just that whenevery day there's something new,
from the silly to the sublime,you know, from Epstein to
promoting energy production, tokeep our edge in AI, I mean, you
know, there's just so much ofit that it's hard for me as a
podcaster to choose what I'mgoing to talk about, and
particularly in relation toanti-politism.
(00:44):
To choose what I'm going totalk about, and particularly in
relation to anti-politism,because in an anti-political
world things would be so muchcalmer.
So I want to do a quick reviewof why.
That is why that statement thatthings would be calmer if this
was anti-political.
And then I want to talk about asurging danger, and instead of
the surging danger from the left, which is what the Republicans
constantly talk about, I'm goingto talk about the surging
(01:06):
danger from the left, which iswhat the republicans constantly
talk about.
I'm going to talk about thesurging danger of the right and
the new fascism that isinfiltrating and infecting the
republican party.
Now, when I use the wordfascism, I want you to
understand I'm not using it likea democratic activist, as an
anti-politist and as alibertarian both.
I don't care which one of theunit parties wins.
When I run for Congress, I've,by the way, filed my letter of
(01:29):
intent with the state of Arizonato run in the libertarian
primary, which I'll win.
I'm going to be the onlycandidate in the libertarian
primary.
I know this because I'm inconstant contact with what you
might call the Maricopa CountyLibertarian Party.
What you might call theMaricopa County Libertarian
Party.
The Libertarian Party is theonly third party in the United
(01:51):
States that has access tovirtually every ballot in the
country, and it's a legitimatethird party.
But at the same time, it'snever done very well at anything
, because it's like herdingkittens when you get a bunch of
libertarians together.
Libertarian originally was acatch-all term to replace
classical liberal, becauseliberalism had been taken by the
left and had been converted tosocialism, which is not what
(02:14):
classical liberalism is at all.
Progressivism and socialism arenot parts of classical
liberalism.
Classical liberalism would bedefined I mean, I'm not going to
give you a textbook definitionbecause this isn't a textbook
discussion but it comes down tothis Do what you want in the
privacy of your own home and thepublic.
And the government should do aslittle as it possibly can
(02:35):
because it messes up pretty mucheverything it touches.
It's just a classical.
It's not conservative becauseit doesn't hang on every value
and try to protect valueswithout thought.
You know, conservatism resistschange and progressivism is its
counterbalance.
And if it was, if they were inbalance, that would be one thing
.
But they're not.
And modern conservatives havebeen completely sidelined by
(02:59):
MAGA.
And MAGA, which sounds great,make America great again.
Who could argue with that?
And MAGA, which sounds great,make America great again.
Who could argue with that?
But unfortunately, because ofthe nature of MAGA or Trumpism
or call it whatever you want,it's opened the door to the new
kind of fascism.
So first let's talk about whatfascism really is.
(03:22):
Fascism and communism have alot in common.
So the communist manifestobasically says to each according
to their needs.
Fascism says and so thereforethe state takes over the means
of production.
The state owns the means ofproduction.
It takes the profit out andgives everybody what they need,
and there's no capitalist fatcats to prey upon the people.
In the eyes of of the Marxistand I'm being very simplistic I
(03:43):
know that and I encourage beingvery simplistic I know that and
I encourage everyone to read theCommunist Manifesto If you
haven't really it's worth it.
It's not Mein Kampf, it makesits case.
It's not the screed of alunatic.
But anyway, fascism isessentially the same thing, only
(04:05):
it replaces the state ownershipwith state control.
So private businesses isallowed to maintain the facade
of being private so long as itcarries out policies in line
with what's in the nationalinterest, as determined by the
ruling party.
That's fascism, by the rulingparty.
(04:27):
That's fascism, and that'sexactly, if you think about it.
Or I don't want to use the wordexactly, but you could draw an
easy parallel to what, forexample, the Trump
administration is advocatingtoday.
They advocate policies.
They'll go along with privatebusiness so long as private
business goes along with them.
But if you don't, they'llpunish the living crap out of
you, and that is the nascentfascism.
And so, on the right you have alot of people like Nick Fuentes,
(04:51):
who's a white supremacist, orAndrew Tate, who's a
professional misogynist and youknow, in any number of podcasts
and publications like theAmerican Reporter and things
like that, the American ReformerI'm sorry, these people on the
right.
This is not a fringe movement.
This is to the Republican Partyas the progressives are to the
(05:12):
Democratic Party.
It's about 10 to 20% of theMAGA movement which is fanatical
.
It's latently anti-Semitic,it's latently isolationist, it's
latently misogynist and it'sled by really ugly people and
unfortunately right now it'seasy to poo-poo them as fringe
and write them off, and we wouldnever act like that.
But evil has a way ofinsinuating itself in the way of
(05:34):
.
You know, the road to hell ispaved with good intentions.
We've all heard that many, manytimes and I have no doubt in my
mind that the MAGA folks in themainstream mind that the MAGA
folks in the mainstream, the 80%who just want to make America
great again and embrace thatphrase and don't think it
through too deeply, would rejectthe idea that they're
anti-Semitic or that they'reisolationist or that they're
(05:57):
misogynist.
But these people on the rightdon't even bother to disguise it
and right now they seem like afringe movement.
But they're gaining groundbecause things that they're
saying are creeping into thevernacular of the mainstream,
some mainstream MAGA people.
So I'll talk about a few.
Uh, candace Owens, who,amazingly, I used to be such an
(06:19):
admirer and then she wentanti-semitic.
So number number one CandaceOwens, I think, might be an
idiot, because I once saw hernot want to, she literally
defended that she thought therewas a possibility that the earth
was flat.
I'm not making this up, you cansearch this stuff up.
It's an otherwise intelligentwoman saying well, you know she
was doing the weasel and I don'tunderstand that at all.
(06:41):
Some things are justobjectively true.
The earth is not flat.
We have pictures from many,many, many, many many.
We have millions of picturesfrom space proving it how
there's a lunatic fringe, andit's one thing if that they
exist among the literally crazy.
But when someone like CandaceOwens, who holds herself out as
a spokesperson, won't come rightout and say it is just beyond
belief.
But that's not the what, herbelief.
(07:02):
That bothers me the most, it'sher latent anti-Semitism.
It's her entertainment ofJewish conspiracy theories.
For those of you who think thatthere's a possibility that
there's some great Jewishconspiracy, number one, it's
important to consider number onethe only banks controlled by
Jews in the world are Israeli.
There are no major Americanbanks or European banks
controlled by Jews.
(07:23):
The Rothschild family was deepin banking at one time in Europe
.
They're out and, as far as Iknow, all the major banks in the
United States trade publicly,which means they're owned by
their shareholders and themanagement is not particularly
Jewish.
The biggest bank in the world,the most successful bank in the
world, is JPMorgan Chase.
Its head is Jamie Dimon.
Jamie Dimon is not Jewish.
(07:44):
I believe he's Lebanese.
Actually I'm not positive, butI know he's not Jewish.
He might be Syrian, one of theothers.
Anyway, it's pointless to bringup his background, because he
lives in New York City and knowsplenty of Jews.
He's the furthest thing from ananti-Semite.
I don't mean to point out thatthe head of the largest bank in
the world is an Arab and an anti.
Not at all.
I'm a huge admirer of JamieDimon.
(08:05):
That's not what I'm talkingabout.
I'm saying that the idea ofJewish control of banks and
therefore the world money supply, is absurd.
There simply are no bankscontrolled by Jews.
Then, of course, outside ofIsrael, bank Liomai is
controlled by Jews because BankLiomai is Israeli.
I mean, I don't know what elseto tell you, but I don't know
(08:29):
what else to tell you.
But I don't think that denotesor connotes even a world
conspiracy of Jews.
You know secret cabals of Jews,like in the Protocols of the
Elders of Zion.
A book that's been circulated,still is being circulated
actively in parts of the Arabworld and by the anti-Semitic
groups.
You can find it probably in anylocal office of the American
(08:50):
Nazi party, if you can find sucha thing.
This was a book written by theczars secret police that made up
this whole story about theelders of Zion, the centralized
Jewish group.
You know Jews are likelibertarians you can't control
them.
There is no, there is no headrabbi, there is no Pope-like
figure, there is no conventionthat rules over Jews are the
furthest thing from centrallycontrolled.
And yet everyone who thinks theJews are controlled think the
Jews are all conspiring, mostlythe joke among Jews and I speak
(09:14):
as a Jew myself.
I mean you put three Jews in aroom, you get 25 opinions.
I mean I just pulled thatnumber out of the air.
But Jews don't see the world asblack and white, they see it as
gray.
Consequently, they'reconstantly arguing with each
other.
If you ever watch what goes onin the Israeli Knesset, their
parliament.
Jews are not in love with eachother all the time.
(09:35):
Believe me, the Orthodox, whichare the ones that you who are
not Jewish would recognize withthe yarmulkes, the little skull
caps and have little thingscoming out from under their
shirts that's called tzitzit, orpray with tefillin, all these
different things that they doview the reformed Jews, which is
what I am, which is to say I'mJewish, I am a secular Jew.
Let me just say this straightout I honor and revere the
(09:57):
worship of God.
I really don't think he, she orit exists, but I'm very proud
of my Jewishness and I love theculture.
So I'm Jewish.
I love who I am.
I don't necessarily believe,nor do I reject.
I'm agnostic.
I've said it before, I'll sayit again I'm not an atheist,
because atheists are suchassholes.
I would never tell a person offaith that there's no God.
I would just say I stronglydoubt it and I can say the
(10:21):
objective reality is there's nota shred of objective, physical
evidence that God exists.
Now, belief was a lot easier inthe old days, before science.
So when people didn't know whythe sun rose and people didn't
know that the Earth was not thecenter of the universe, it was
easy to believe that there was aGod doing all these things, but
now that we know all this, Ifind it very hard to believe
(10:41):
that in a universe where we'restarting to discover multiple
universes.
I find it very hard to believethat, in a universe where we're
starting to discover multipleuniverses thanks to the James
Webb Space Telescope and we'reseeing all kinds of phenomena
that we never thought existed,and we're seeing that in our
galaxy alone there's billions ofplanets, I mean to me strange
credulity, but at the same time,who knows, I could easily be
wrong, digressing slightly,going down the rat hole of is
(11:05):
there life on other planets?
So far we haven't found any.
Maybe we are alone.
Maybe there is a God.
Maybe he picked out this onelittle tiny planet, this one
little corner of this one littlegalaxy among billions and
trillions of galaxies, wherehe's going to or it's going to.
Or maybe God is not universal,god's just the God of our planet
.
Maybe the Mormons have it right.
Maybe everybody gets a planet.
(11:25):
I don't know.
I don't know, and I don't knowis a word that human beings,
particularly human beings inpower, don't like, but we as
antipolitics I as the founder ofantipolitism embrace.
When you don't know, don't act.
You know, it's really very,very simple.
And if we followed that simplerule if you don't know, don't
(11:45):
act, think of how much simplerthe world would be.
But back to the subject matter.
Today these people on the newright are infiltrating into the
movement, these ideas, these inthe shady, dark corners, these
anti.
You know they pretend like we,like Jews.
We just don't like what Jews do.
Kind of thing is a verydangerous thing.
(12:07):
Understand, folks.
I'm not saying this justbecause I'm Jewish.
I'm just going to tell you anhistoric fact.
Any civilization that haspersecuted Jews on an organized
basis has ended up going downinto the ash heap of history.
Okay Now, if there's a God andJews were his chosen people
which, by the way, meanssomething different than what
you think it means chosen tobring law to mankind.
(12:29):
It doesn't mean chosen to bespecial and the only ones to go
to heaven.
That's bullshit.
Jews don't really believe inheaven, which is really kind of
interesting.
The afterlife thing is not abig deal in Judaism, but anyway,
I don't want to digress down toreligion.
That's my problem.
When you know a little bitabout a lot of things, you can
digress into all those thingswith your little bit of
knowledge and sound like you'resmarter than you are, then you
find yourself in a conversationthat's nothing to do with what
(12:50):
you're talking about.
So let's stay back on thesepeople creeping in Now.
Right now, the economy is good,but we're starting to see
warning signals.
So President Trump this weekand I'm back on subject here,
stay with me President Trumpthis week went to the Federal
Reserve publicly.
I personally think just I don'tunderstand why he did it, where
he went over and looked at thisconstruction project.
I do understand politically,but anyway, trump is constantly
(13:13):
in motion.
I think the guy has the world'sworst case of ADHD, and I'm not
saying this to be funny.
I suffer from ADHD.
I, for example, I have a hardtime sitting through an entire
movie.
I find like I have to get upand like get a popsicle or
something to suck.
I I feel like I movie.
I find like I have to get upand like get a popsicle or
something to suck.
I feel like I'm there arealways.
Whenever something occurs to me, I feel like I need to do it,
even if I'm on my way to doingsomething else.
(13:33):
That's kind of like what it'slike to live with ADHD.
It can make you incrediblyproductive because you have your
eye on a million differentballs, but it can also make you
incredibly unproductive in thesense that you don't focus long
enough.
So anyway, of course, anotherfeature of ADHD is that you can
hyper-focus.
So a person with ADHD attentiondeficit for those of you who
(13:56):
aren't into the initials what wefind out when we get interested
in something, we can do theopposite of not focusing.
We can focus to the point of wedon't hear or see anything else
.
It's kind of the bipolardisorder of working people.
I don't know.
I don't know quite the way toput it, but Trump definitely has
it.
And so we have a million thingsgoing on, and when all these
(14:16):
things go on, it's hard to keeptrack of the underlying story.
And the underlying story hereeconomically this week is that
interest rates, mortgage rates,are at 7%.
So Trump goes over and he seesJay Powell and he's beating up
on Jay Powell because the realestate market is dropping
nationally Now home sales aredropping and so on and so forth,
(14:37):
and Trump is blaming theinterest rates at 7% on mortgage
rates, and that is a littlehigh as mortgage rates go.
But why are mortgage rates 7%when the discount rate is far
below that?
And the answer is folks.
The Federal Reserve doesn't setinterest rates.
I know that people think thatthey do, but they don't.
All they do is set the interestrate that they charge the banks
when banks run out of cash andneed to get their hands on some
(14:58):
money to make big loans in theshort term.
I'm being simplistic.
There's more to it than that,but that's basically it as far
as what interest rates do on thelong side.
Right now, government bonds arepaying 5%.
Now the government bonds aren'tissuing them at 5%.
The government isn't issuingbonds at 5%.
What's happening is thatthey're being discounted in the
market so that they, in otherwords, if you have a $1,000 bond
, bonds are always issued in the$1,000 denominations and the
(15:20):
bond is being issued at 3%,which means it's paying $30 of
interest annually on the $1,000.
3% of $1,000 is $30, right,okay, you've got it.
Now the market says we don'twant to lend money to America
long-term at 3%.
We want 5% because we see thatAmerica's financial house is in
disorder and we're a littleunsure that America's going to
(15:43):
be able to pay it back.
So to take the risk, and that'swhat interest rates are.
They're the price of moneybased upon the risk of whether
the money will come back.
The financial markets and when Isay the financial markets, the
billions of people trading inthe bond markets globally are
saying we want 5%.
So what happens is that theexisting $1,000 bond is
discounted to $600.
So if you go to sell the bondyou paid $1,000 for and you're
(16:06):
collecting 3%, the new buyer isgoing to want you to discount it
to $600, so that the $30interest being paid is 5% of 600
.
Do you get it?
That's how bond prices work.
The price is discounted so thatthe interest you're being paid
is equal to what you could geton a new bond from someone else
issuing 5% bond.
So, anyway, to make a longstory short, the markets are
(16:29):
telling and the mortgage marketis 7%.
The markets are sending a flashsignal that the housing market
is a bubble and it is.
So what would happen and I'mgoing to tie this together now
what happens Right now?
Everything looks good, and theone kind of dark spot and Trump
sees it is this housingsituation, but it could easily
spill over into the stock market.
I mean, for example, teslastock is highly dependent upon
(16:52):
EV sales, and EV sales haveturned to shit since the big
beautiful bill killed the EVsubsidy, which I, by the way,
agree with 100%.
You shouldn't have to bribesomebody to buy a product.
But here we have an enormouscompany that makes up a gigantic
percentage of the StandardPorsche 500, as well as making
Elon Musk the richest man in theworld, that suddenly their core
(17:12):
product that they were foundedupon is much less attractive and
selling much worse globally.
China, who foolishly went allin on EVs, is now absolutely
wanting to shoot us up.
They can't give their cars away.
There are fields full of BYD, Ithink is the brand, and there's
a bunch of other Chinese EVbrands, fields of these EVs just
sitting there because nobodywants them the government.
(17:37):
And if you go back in my podcastand in things I've written and
said over the last few years,you will find out that from the
beginning, from the very start,I said EVs were a stupid idea
because nobody was asking forthem and in the history of the
world, no government has evercreated a market for a new
product.
So, based on that alone, I saidthat ours won't be the first
one to succeed, and I'm right.
(17:57):
Ok, but it's not right becauseI'm a genius.
I'm right because you can'tcreate a need for something that
nobody needs.
Nobody was asking for EVs,which you can't.
You know they lose their rangeif it's too hot.
They lose their range if it'stoo cold.
They lose their range ifthey're carrying too much weight
.
If they tow, their range goesdown to next to nothing.
Nobody was asking for them, butthe government decided we had
(18:18):
to have them.
We spent trillions, not billions, trillions on this waste of
time.
Now, all of this wasted money,like on what we've done on EVs
and everything else, whetherit's Trump's fault or not, is
all out there in the economy,not to mention our $37, $38
trillion national debt, which isreally $100 trillion more than
that I'm using round numbersbecause of unfunded Social
(18:39):
Security and Medicare, which now, we find out, is going bankrupt
sooner than we thought.
So what happens if the economyturns to shit and suddenly
Trump's support evaporates,which it will?
Okay, because Trump, the wholething that underlines Trump is
he's a businessman who knowswhat he's doing, and the first
time he was president we had agreat economy, and now we're
going to have a great economybecause the big, beautiful bill
has unleashed all this creativeenergy, and maybe so.
(19:00):
And if we get a boom, then theend will be delayed.
Believe me, if we get a boom,then the end will be delayed.
Believe me, inevitably.
What's coming is the UnitedStates is going to face a choice
between hyperinflation and adefault on its debt, and it
won't just be the United States,it'll be the whole world.
And when that day comes, it'snot an if, it's a when.
At this point, there's noavoiding it.
(19:21):
I was sitting at a libertarianmeeting last week and I was
asked by one of the people whowas questioning me as a
potential candidate what did Ithink, was you know was going on
?
And I said you know, what wouldI do to prevent what's coming?
Because everyone's worriedabout the debt, particularly on
the libertarian side, where youknow they're pretty skin flinty,
if you know what I mean.
And my answer was there's noavoiding it.
(19:42):
There's nothing that can bedone.
Now it's too late.
The weapon is baked in the bomb, the timer is ticking down.
The only question is when doesit go off?
Now, if the economy remainsstrong and the stimulus remains
strong and the big beautifulbill turns out to be a big
beautiful bill, and Trump isright and Scott Besant is right,
(20:02):
and we have tremendous growthand the growth exceeds the
percentage growth of our deficit, and we get things in order for
a time.
For a time, things will goalong great.
And then these lunatics on theright, these woke right fascists
, and the progressive leftfascists.
They're exactly the same.
You know.
The argument that they make onthe left is that you know
(20:23):
they're socialists and they'reopen about it, and guys like
Zoran Mamdani.
But his argument is well,everybody's done it wrong, but
we'll do it right.
Let me explain something to youguys.
Socialism has always failedbecause when you detonate a
nuclear weapon, you're going tokill somebody, okay.
So when you go into a countrythat's a capitalist country and
you suddenly say capitalismdoesn't work, we're going to
replace it with state control ofindustry, to whatever extent
(20:44):
you're doing it, you'rebasically throwing a nuclear
weapon into the way things workand the inevitable result will
be chaos and death.
It's happened every single time.
Every time socialists thinkwell, you know, it wasn't Stalin
, it was the system, don't you?
This is what people don't get.
The greatest mass murderer, orit's Mao Zedong, another
(21:05):
socialist mass murderer, pol Pot, another socialist mass
murderer, I can go down the listof socialists.
Now socialists will all saywell, those were communists.
Communism and socialism aresynonymous terms.
There's no difference betweenthem.
It's just communism is theultimate goal of socialism.
You know, socialists, they tryto soften it and call it
democratic socialism, call itwhatever you want, but central
control is a failure.
But they always blame it on theperson.
(21:31):
The reason that all those peopledied in Russia was Stalin.
The reason all those peopledied in China was Mao.
No, it's Stalin, which is who Iknow much more about than Mao
only because I was a Russianlinguist and worked at the
National Security Agency and I'mfascinated by all things
Russian and I'm very well readIn terms of Russia.
I'm very well read in general,but I'm very well read in terms
of Russia in particular.
Stalin was an intellectual, abrilliant guy.
(21:53):
He was picked by Lenin becausehe was the most able of all the
early Bolsheviks and as Leninstarted to have a series of
strokes, he was placed in a.
The office of general secretarywas created, which is what the
head honcho in the Soviet Unionwas called.
The general secretary wascreated by Lenin to keep things
running.
While he was recovering fromhis strokes, he didn't think he
was going to die.
No one ever does he died.
(22:13):
Stalin was the logical guy.
Stalin was a dedicated communistand a believer.
But when he went tocollectivize agriculture in the
Ukraine and he replaced privateownership with state ownership
of the farms and turned theminto what's called a kolkhoz,
which is a fancy Russian well,it's not even a fancy word, it's
just the Russian word forbasically a kibbutz, like they
did in Israel.
The same thing, only with statecontrol.
(22:34):
Only in Israel you can leavethe kibbutz.
The reason there was no massdeaths in Israel is that it was
a choice to live on a kibbutz inIsrael.
In Russia, everything had to bea kalkhuz and the kalkhuz was a
nuclear weapon in the lives ofagriculture.
So it killed millions andmillions of people.
That wasn't.
(22:54):
Stalin didn't set out to killmillions of people, he just
recognized it was the only wayto get to the socialist ideal.
When you have a true believer ina philosophy, which is what
socialists are, they willjustify what comes after they
take power.
First they say it's not goingto be us.
Then it is us, because there'sno other ways to do this.
You have to break eggs to makean omelet.
Well, the same thing is true onthe right, and if you let these
(23:16):
people in the door, it willevolve into full-blown fascism
very, very fast.
Fascism is arguably sort ofwhat we practice now.
Trump is a practicing fascist inthe sense and I don't like to
use it in the Hitlerian sense,because Hitler wasn't a fascist,
he was a national socialist and, in fact, for this discussion,
(23:54):
no-transcript debunkingparticularly groups on the left
by submitting ridiculous thingsto leftist academic papers and
submitting them as treatiseswhen they're complete nonsense,
and then they publish thembecause they don't bother to
read them and they basicallymade fools, particularly on the
(24:16):
issue of gender dysphoria ofpeople on the left.
That became a pariah.
Well, he started doing it topeople on the right, so now he's
a pariah to everyone and one ofthe groups he did just to prove
his point, similar to what I'msaying now.
Very similar is he took theCommunist Manifesto.
He took six pages of it,basically the summary of what it
is that Karl Marx wrote, and hejust changed out, you know,
(24:40):
instead of proletariat he putthe working people of the United
States or what you know.
He replaced out certain wordswith more nationalistic words
and he submitted it verbatim,the Communist Manifesto,
verbatim, okay, with just a fewwords changed, just to hide the
word communism within it andsocialism.
He took out every reference tocommunism and socialism,
(25:00):
replaced it with nationalism,submitted it otherwise verbatim
to the American Reformermagazine and they published it.
And then, when they discoveredthat they had been made fools of
, they said you know, weactually do embrace it.
I mean, that's nationalsocialism.
Hitler was a leftist, not arightist, he was a socialist.
Only he allowed privatebusiness to function so long as
(25:21):
it functioned in service of thestate.
So he let corrupt steel becorrupt steel so long as corrupt
steel made the steel for histanks.
So here in our country, ourmilitary industrial complex, our
energy establishment, ourdefense, you know, it's all at
this point being run for thenational interest.
That is what fascism is.
(25:42):
The government is dictating thepolicies of the country and as
long as it works, no one's goingto notice and it's going to
seem benign.
But the minute it turns ugly,that's when the blaming comes in
and that's where theanti-Semitism will flare up and
that's when things can turnreally, really ugly.
And that's why the right isjust as ugly as the left and
(26:04):
both sides need to be avoided.
And yet it is inevitable.
I think the story that the pressmainstream and non-traditional
are missing is that we'resetting the stage for a civil
war between socialism andfascism within our own country
and we don't even know thatwe're doing it and the way out
is anti-politism.
Why?
Okay, quick reviewAnti-politism says that serving
(26:27):
in federal office, state office,is a different story.
I don't speak to state, I justI'm just going to digress
quickly and explain this.
I don't speak to stategovernment because states can't
print money and since statescan't print money, they can only
damage themselves when they'remismanaged.
They can't bring down the other49.
So I think antipolitism willwork in most states, maybe not
(26:47):
all states.
If you're a very sparse statelike, let's say, wyoming, that
has less than a million people,has more cattle than it does
people.
I think it has more horses thanit does people.
Antipolitism, by the time youbreak out the population, you
might have too small a pool toget a decent selection to run a
(27:07):
state government.
In other words, if you have topick a bunch of state
legislators I don't know howmany people are in the Wyoming
state legislature, but let's sayyou had to pick 30 or 50, you
might have too small a pool tobe doing random selections over
and over and a lot of people.
I can see where it could becumbersome on a local level
because the pool isn't largeenough to get a good random
(27:27):
sampling, but on the other handI could be wrong.
About that too, I just don'treally speak to it.
I haven't given it a lot ofthought, I haven't thought it
through.
I will leave it to otherintellectuals within the
movement down the road to thinkthat through On a federal level,
which is what I'm speaking to,by setting up the requirement
that you have to be in the topthird of income earners over the
age of 35 and not have acriminal record.
(27:48):
Those are the threequalifications.
Everybody who has achievedsomething in their life and has
a couple of gray hairs basicallyhas common values.
Because in order to achievesuccess in a free market
capitalist economy which we'restill at least majority free
market capitalist you have toplay by the rules, and the
(28:09):
people that succeed are almostalways people that have a family
life.
It's almost always people whoare married.
It's almost always people whohave children.
It's almost always people whogo to church or synagogue or
mosque.
It's almost always people whohave children.
It's almost always people whogo to church or synagogue or
mosque.
It's almost always people whoprioritize the needs of their
families over anything else.
It's people with basically good, solid common sense.
That's how they rise to thatposition, regardless of their
(28:30):
color.
So you know, like when we talkabout the problems within the
black community in the UnitedStates and that about 55% of the
black community lives eitherlower between lower middle class
and poverty, there's still 45%of the black community, 45% of
13 million.
How many people know that?
It's just like 40, it's 13% ofthe population.
(28:51):
I think it's like 40 millionblack people.
Yeah, that's about right.
45% of 40 million people isclose to 20 million people
somewhere.
I just did that without evendoing the math.
But that's a lot of successfulblack people who, by the way,
share the values with successfulwhite people and successful
Asian people and successfulbrown people.
Values remain the same becauseit's the only at least
(29:15):
successful within the system.
You eliminate the extremes andsave the country from the
fascism and the socialism,because A you don't get the
idiotic.
Young people are dangerous onthis, because young people want
immediate help.
So on the left, you have 32million young people buried in
student debt that they have nohope from getting out of, they
(29:36):
can't bankrupt out of.
They can't stop paying on.
They can't stop paying on.
They're stuck.
And this debt is so large andso insurmountable and the
degrees and certificates thatthey got if they even got a
degree or certificate in runningup this unbelievably available
debt has put them permanentlybehind the eight ball, to the
point where they know they'llnever be able to buy a house or
start a business.
Consequently, they feel thatcapitalism has failed them.
(29:56):
Consequently, they've becomesocialists.
That's what's going on in theprogressive movement.
That's how Zoran Mandani won inNew York with, you know, mostly
a white vote, because it wasdisaffected white intellectual
kids who ran up enormous studentloan bills and now have no way
to pay them and feel thatcapitalism is to blame.
It's easier to blame capitalismthan your own stupidity for
taking a loan for a worthlessdegree.
(30:18):
You know as ridiculous as thestudent loan program was, if
anyone had an ounce of sensethey wouldn't have borrowed
money to get a degree in Africanstudies.
They just wouldn't have done it.
But you know they didn't thinkand now they're being hoisted on
their own petard.
They made a horrible mistake.
Well, because of this, you know, enormous mistake on the part
of 32 million people.
(30:38):
We have a burgeoning socialistcommunist movement in this
country and I know I'msimplifying, but I'm just
talking about the basic elementsof the base.
Then, on the right, it's alittle bit different.
On the right, you have the vastbulk of people who just feel
like they're tired of beingblamed and they're at the
extreme fringe of it.
And then someone comes along,like Nick Fuentes, and says it's
(31:01):
not you, it's those fuckingJews.
And he says it in a really, Imean, this is an old message.
This has been going on forthousands of years.
It's a tempting message todisaffected people on the right
and we are playing with it.
We don't see it.
We, you know, the mainstreampooh-poohs it.
Oh, there's not that many onthe right, oh there's not that
many.
Yeah, there's millions of them.
And you know what?
The Bolsheviks took over Russiaas a teeny, tiny, little
(31:24):
minority.
Read your history.
Teeny tiny Minorities can takeover majorities when the
majority has their head stuck uptheir ass, so far they can't
breathe, and that's kind ofwhere we are.
And that's kind of where we are, and that's why America needs
to be anti-political.
So pick up your copy of ARadical Reset at Amazon.
It's on Kindle paperback andhardcover and pick it up.
(31:45):
It's the Manifesto ofAnti-Politism and why it is the
way out of this mess.
Anti-politism is the way out ofthis mess.
Thank you very much.

I know that I sound like afringe lunatic at this point,
(32:05):
but the radical becomesreasonable when the shit hits
the fan.
And, my friends, it isinevitable.
The shit is going to hit thefan, whether it hits tomorrow or
a year from now or five yearsfrom now.
It's going to hit sooner thanlater and we had better prepare
for it or we could all findourselves living in either a
communist or fascist country,and I know that sounds
(32:28):
hyperbolic, but that's what thepeople of Germany thought.
Germany was the most liberal,educated country in Europe until
Hitler got his hands on itbecause of a little economic
upset, and it was a lot ofeconomic upset and a lot of
national upset.
I don't mean to belittle it,but that's how you get it.
And if we find ourselveshurtling into a depression of
(32:49):
maximum proportion, that makesthe Great Depression look like a
walk in the park, which isexactly where we're headed.
If we're headed into either ahyperflation or a full-blown
collapse, otherwise decentpeople seize on horrible things,
and if there's not analternative, we're in big
trouble.
And the alternative is nothoping for more of the same.
A savior is not going to comeout of the Democratic Party.
(33:12):
A savior is not going to comeout of the Republican Party.
Because of the very nature ofpolitics, because only
sociopaths and psychopaths gointo politics anymore I'm making
a broad generalization becauseof the politics of personal
destruction.
Antipolitism gets rid of all ofthat and turns public service
into just that service, notcareer.
(33:33):
It turns it into duty, notambition.
And that's where I close today.
Thank you very, very much forjoining us, joining me, not
joining us.
I'm a singular person Forjoining me.
I'll be back on Monday.
I will not take another day off.
I just just so much going on.
I shouldn't say I won't do thisand I won't do that.
We'll see what tomorrow brings,but as things stand, I'll talk
(33:53):
to you on Monday.
Have a beautiful weekend, enjoyyour family.
God bless you, god bless yourfamily, god bless America.
And have a beautiful weekend.
