Speaker 1 (00:01):
Monkey pox. Oh should you be scared. We'll talk about
that tonight. We're gonna go over some COVID tyranny that happened.
We have great guests, we have a hysterical light in
the mood. Oh that's coming up, and I'm right. Oh

(00:24):
there's another disease. Haven't you heard? Monkey pox is coming. Look,
we'll get to monkey pox itself here in a second.
But I actually want to bring something up. So I
felt like this a while. We talked about this before
on the show. I feel like Donald Trump's presidency, the
Trump era, that's the moment when everything changed in America.

(00:45):
That was the moment where everything that came after it
will be different than what was before. And why because
that was the era where the system, the corrupt system,
all of it, media, politicians, three letter agencies, Hollywood sports,
corporation's education, whatever, every single part of the system decided
that Donald Trump was such a disaster, such a threat

(01:08):
to the scam they had going, that he had to
be removed at all costs, and at all costs can
get costly. I say that because they did everything in
their power, oftentimes almost always dirty things, sometimes illegal things.
They sold out the last of what little credibility they

(01:30):
had left. Okay, well that's fine, but where are we now? Well,
here's where we are now. We don't trust anymore at
all costs, right, get rid of Trump at all costs. Well,
are you going to believe them when the next disease
rolls around? Joe Biden's up there blubber and on about

(01:52):
monkey pots. What question? What have your health advisors told
you your learned should be about monkey pocks and the
kegons in the United States and around the world. Well,
they haven't told me the level of exposure yet, but
it is something that everybody should be concerned about. What
we're working out of art figure out what we do.

(02:13):
Here's what it's going to be. Vaccine, event it may
be available for aquism. But there's a concern in the
fan said it worrying to spread its munch of bunch.
That's all they've told me. Very concerned. But that's the
President of the United States expressing concern about a disease.
What percentage of you watch that just now? And here

(02:35):
we go again, all of us? Definitely the majority of us.
So now the President of the United States of America,
that office doesn't have the trust of the people anymore
to warn about a disease. And look, let's say it
is serious. And by the way, all all reports now
where that it's not serious. It's it's more of an

(02:56):
std type thing than anything else is. Don't don't worry
about monkey pop. But what if it what if it
did turn out to be real and it was very serious,
How would you know? Who would you trust? Said Joe
Biden aside. If the CDC came out and said, boy,
you need to go home in lockdown. When I said
the letters CDC just now, you probably rolled your eyes.
Well would you do if tomorrow the FDA said monkey

(03:19):
pox is serious, we have a new vaccine available to
keep you from getting monkey pox. I'll tell you what
you do, you'd probably refer back to this video of
the FDA officials saying, yeah, we're just bribe to approve
whatever in an annual shot we hasn't informally announced yet.
Say you don't want to like riot everyone out companies,

(03:40):
the food companies, the vaccine companies. They pay US hundreds
of millions dollars a year to hire and keep the
reviewers to improve their products. If they can get every
person required at an hanual vaccine. That is a recurring
return of money going there. So how do you know

(04:01):
it's already getting approved. Well, they're not going to. I mean,
just from everything I've heard, they're not going to. There's
no trust anymore. We don't trust anyone. We wouldn't trust
the media. We don't trust the presidency, we don't trust
the CDC, FDA, FBI, dj N, s A, CIA. We

(04:26):
don't have any trust in our institutions now, in this
post Trump era, And therefore, when we actually do get
another real pandemic one to be worried about, we're going
to be in very serious trouble. Joining me now is
an expert on medical things and I am not, So
we've I figured we should bring in a doctor today.
Doctor Mark McDonald joins me as a child adolescent, an

(04:49):
adult psychiatrist, also the author of a book you really
should have read already by now, The United States of Fear,
How America fell victim to mass delusional psychosis stock first
and foremost monkeypox. Of course there's something new brewing out there.
How petrified should we all be of monkey pocks? Should
we stand six feet away from everybody? Not unless you're

(05:11):
at a sex party or a rave and you're exchanging
bodily fluids with a person next to you. This is
not a disease that you're going to catch by coughing
or sneezing on somebody, not any more than rampant tuberculosis,
which is not as rampant. Okay, So that sounds like
most of us are probably in the clear. Do you
foresee them trying to ramp up more fear with this

(05:34):
like they did last time? It is we do have
an election coming up. Well, the answer to your first
question was a medical answer, and of course the answer
is no, we have no reason to be scared of
this from a medical perspective. But as you just said
in your second question, which is really the major point here,
of course we should be scared that we're going to
be induced with fear and ordered to get more shots
and stay home and wear masks, because that has been

(05:54):
the modus operandus from the very beginning. As I explained
in my book United States of Fear since Ring of
twenty twenty. It's not the pox, it's not the virus,
it's not the war in Ukraine. All of these are
simply crisis management techniques that are used to distract our
attention by the government away from real problems in the
United States, so that people can be scared. And when

(06:16):
you're scared, you don't think, you don't criticize, you certainly
don't speak out, and you don't vote the way that
you normally would. We have a lot of elections brewing,
so it's very, very important to try to keep the
American people is distracted as possible by something that sounds
even scarier than a Wuhan virus, I mean, monkeypox. It
just it looks awful those shots you showed on the screen.
It looks like ebola. It looks like you're going to

(06:37):
have sores and blood pouring out of your orifices. There's
no reason to be scared of this from a medical perspective,
but the psychology behind it is terrifying. And I am
convinced because of the last two years that we are
just going to hear more and more about this from
all sources media, government, and corporations in order to try
to keep people petrified so that they do not think

(06:59):
and they do not act actually think for themselves. Doctor,
Are we much more susceptible to that kind of stuff now,
to that kind of propaganda from the media, from the
government than we were, say, a hundred years ago as
a society. I know why personally was mortified. But watching
my fellow Americans all run home and hide in the

(07:19):
way in the face of that last propaganda batt or
are we more susceptible to this stuff? Now? We're much
more susceptible. And there's several reasons for it. One is
the accessibility of media, and not just all media newspapers, magazines,
the accessibility of media from a very small number of sources,
all of which push the exact same information. When I

(07:40):
woke up this morning, the first alert on my phone
was Apple News Feed Alert monkeypox spreading. Please click here
to hear more, and you click the button and it
has this sixty minute long audio interview of somebody explaining
why should be afraid of monkeypox. The next click is
read about the disinformation going against the monkeypox scare, and
you click on that and you're told that all the

(08:02):
people that say you shouldn't be scared or lying to you,
this is actually happening in our pockets on our cell phones.
This is why people are so susceptible to it. They're
not talking to people. They're not reading, They're just getting
feeds and alerts in their pockets on their computers. When
they go to the workplace, everybody's watching the same thing.
It's a single feed of fear and disinformation. We never

(08:23):
had this possibility twenty or thirty years ago. Now we do,
and unfortunately, there's some people that are taking advantage of it.
And those people tend to be working hand in glove
for their own power and their own money and to
gain more of both. Can you explain why this would
be beneficial to the left, And I don't just want
to say the Democratic Party, because I see this taking
place across every Western government really, not just the United

(08:45):
States of America. But it's this constant pushing of fear
and panic seems to have benefit of the left a lot.
I mean, here in America we have Joe Biden US
Senate controlled by Democrats. Why does it help them and
not us? The reason why it helps them is very simple.
Their end game, Their end goal has been all along
aggrandizing power. They are not interested in truth, They are

(09:10):
not interested in benefiting individuals. They are certainly not interested
in promoting liberties like freedom, like education, like real healthcare, safety.
They are interested in one thing and one alone, which
is beating a population a steady diet of fear so
that they, the elites, those who are in the centralized

(09:30):
positions of power in Washington and also now internationally, can
make decisions for us, because if they make decisions for us,
then we cannot go out and take care of ourselves.
So anything that feeds dependency, which is really what the
left is all about. Conservatives are not about dependency. Conservatives
are about leave us alone, will take care of it ourselves.

(09:51):
That is what's pushing this. And some conservatives, so called
conservatives or Republicans, are certainly doing that too, because they're
also power hungry. So I don't think this is a
Republican Democrat issue. It's really one of power serving or
yourself versus trying to give back power to the people.
That's really where the two sides are drawn in my view. Doctor.
I know right now you're in Buffalo, right and the

(10:13):
Buffalo has obviously been in the news recently because of
that terrible shooting that took place at the supermarket, and
I've seen few, not a lot, but a few people
have started to bring up mental health. Mental health that
was clearly a drained psychopath. Well, why don't we deal
with mental health? I have this theory that, yes, we
don't deal with it because people want to use these

(10:34):
things for political points. But I also think people don't
know how to deal with it, and that there's not
a clean, fun, nice looking way to deal with mental
health problems. Every society in history has had them. What
are we doing wrong? Well, mental health is a big word.
It's a big problem, and it's also a very difficult
one to solve because there isn't an easy solution. It's

(10:54):
not an infection. You can't give somebody an antibiotic and
make your mental health get better. Mental health comes from
stable families. It comes from absence of using substances drugs, alcohol,
It comes from good education. It comes from strong civic
centers and organizations, religious institutions. You know, in Japan, in Okinawa,

(11:16):
there is a small community that has a very very
low rate of schizophrenia, lower than anywhere else in the world.
The reason for that is that they have incredibly strong
family ties. They don't have social media, they're all religious,
they all rely on one another, they have strong bonds.
Schizophrenia gets worse when the bonds are cut. We live
in a society net where everybody's living independently. They're all alone,

(11:37):
especially in urban areas. They're dependent on government or transportation
for safety, or allotments of education, for their jobs, for
their welfare. They don't stay together, they don't stick together.
We don't have a multigenerational life anymore in most parts
of the United States, and so mental illness is a
huge problem in urban areas. It also breeds crime, it
breeds drugs, and they all feed on one other, no

(11:58):
vicious cycle. So how do you solve mental illness problems.
You've got to fix the family, You've got to address
substance abuse. You've got to actually get people back in church,
get them working again. Mental illness encompasses every single problem
that we have in society, and none of them, not
a single one, are being addressed by this presidential administration.
Every single thing that's been done in the last two years,

(12:19):
year and a half has been exactly the opposite of
what we need. That's why we're in a crisis. Doctor
Mark McDonald, thank you so much for giving us some time.
Much appreciate it, sir, thanks for having me on. My
friend Dave Marcus is going to join us. Next, we're
going to talk to some COVID tyranny. See all that
may have made you uncomfortable, but I'm right now, let's

(12:43):
talk about prices. Inflation. I know that makes you uncomfortable.
It makes me uncomfortable. It's brutal out there right now.
What are you supposed to do? Well? Look, I can't
fix inflation, all right. All I can do is bring
you information whenever I get it on ways to help
you save money, chicken, beef, seafood, family buy any of

(13:03):
those things. Stop going to the grocery store and paying
an ever increasing price. Go to good ranchers dot com
slash jesse. What you're going to find there is the
highest quality meat an American company, American meats, and you're
going to find locked in prices when you subscribe. That's right,
you subscribe, your price never goes up ever, And when

(13:26):
you go to good ranchers dot com slash jesse, you
also get twenty five bucks off every single box of
meat for the lifetime of your subscription. Let's do what
we can to get ahead of inflation. Good ranchers dot
com slash jesse. We'll be back each morning the president

(13:48):
of the United States receives a highly classified briefing on
the most important issues facing the country. It's called the
President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered by America's spies
and analysts. Well, now you can hear your very own
PDB in the form of a podcast hosted by me
Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer. Each morning

(14:08):
at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen to twenty
minutes of the most important issues facing the country, giving
you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to start
your morning right now. In the United States, people should

(14:28):
not be walking around with masks. A lot of folks
are hearing now about double masking, wearing two masks, or
trying to get one of those N ninety five medical
grade masks. Do you believe that that's advisable and makes
a difference. You know it likely does, because, I mean,
this is a physical covering to prevent droplets and virus

(14:52):
to get in. So if you have a physical covering
with one layer, you put another layer on. It just
makes common sense. If you're and fully vaccinated, you no
longer need to wear a mask. Masking Masking is an
important tool to control the spread of COVID nineteen and
when you're indoors in public places, you should wear the mask.

(15:14):
How about making sure that you're vaccinated so you do
not spread the disease to anybody else? What about that, man,
seems like a lot of gosh, what's that word? Misinformation?
Joining me now, my friend David Marcus. Of course, he's
a columnist with The New York Post and Fox News
and author of the book Charade, The COVID Lies The

(15:36):
Crushed the Nation. David, I don't think it's exactly a
new phenomenon that governments lie to people, that institutions lie
to people. That's kind of what they do. But doesn't
it seem like we're in a worse era for that
than our parents were. Yes, and I think COVID really
brought out the worst. And there were so many lies.

(15:58):
I mean, we're all in this together. Was a great lie.
Very early on. There were all kinds of lies about
what the actual infection fatality rate was last summer, there
were a ton of lies about breakthrough cases. And you
might recall Jen Saki at the White House asking Peter Deucy, well,
why do you need to know how many cases there
are in the White House. So there have been a

(16:19):
lot of lies. The relevant one right now, though, is
the lie that the lockdown's work, because there are still
a lot of people who believe that this is true,
a lot of Americans who are very invested in this.
They sacrificed a lot. They're not really psychologically ready to
give up on the idea that the lockdown worked. And
there's gonna be a test of this. Bill de Blasio,

(16:40):
who was mayor of New York during COVID, complete traconian
lunatic who destroyed the city, is running for Congress now,
and he's going to run on his COVID record. I mean,
he's going to say I did a great job, I
kept you safe and not for nothing. In the district
where he's running, which includes the neighborhood that I'm ashamed
to say is called Park Slope, the Mask Karen Capital

(17:03):
of the United States, It's gonna work. So, I mean,
that's the lie that I think we really need to
chip away out, is this idea that the lockdowns were
anything but an object disaster. I'm actually glad you brought
up Piel de Blasio because I had this little video
of Eric Adams, And you know, I'll ask you a question.
After COVID pivots and ships, we're rigid, we won't defeat it.

(17:27):
And so we're saying in New Yorkers we are urging
people indoors, we're mask indoors. We're not at the point
of mandating mask. We're not at that point yet. We're
not at the point of doing anything other than urging
New Yorkers while you're indoors in large settings, social settings,
were your mask? David. I'm not a New York hater,

(17:50):
as you will know. I adore it. It's my favorite
city in the world. But you're a New York guy.
I'm not. I'm in the suburbs of Texas. If somebody
suggested that down here a Paul Titian who would get
run out of office that day. Yet Eric Adams was
just welcomed in as the new mayor of New York
and feels totally comfortable pushing that stuff now, and you
know they're going to lockdown again. Why does that fly

(18:13):
in New York and doesn't fly in the more rural
parts of the country. Yeah, it's an interesting question. And
as I said, there are definitely New Yorkers who are
very much on board with all of the lockdowns, with
all of the masking. You know, people who I don't
get it, but you know, didn't leave their apartments for
you know, a year and a half. Yeah, then I

(18:34):
think they're you know, there's a lot of New Yorkers
who just kind of like don't do the stuff, but
don't really have time to be outraged about it. I
think part of the reason that in cities in general,
and specifically in New York, you didn't see the kind
of backlash that you saw in some other parts of
the country. It's just we're used to weird rules and regulations.

(18:55):
You stick nine million people together in this small of
an area and we up some of that. But look,
they he can try to bring this stuff back. There's
some people are going to do it, some people aren't,
and I think that's just going to be the case
for a long long time. David, you have a piece
up right now on the Daily Wire predicting something that

(19:17):
I'm not shocked at, but man alive, these people you're
predicting democrats are poised to become more radical, and I
think a lot of people will be shocked by that
because they look at their insanity that's on display every day,
and they look at how unpopular it's making the party.
The normal person would think, WHOA, they're gonna course correct.
You don't think so. Why There's two fundamental dynamics that

(19:40):
I think work against them being able to do a
course correction. The first is progressives are winning primaries right
Summer Lee, who is the sort of AOC squad type
candidate one a primary for an open seat in Pennsylvania
last week. That they're winning these primaries, So that means
there's more progressives in the Democrat caucus in the House. Meanwhile, if,

(20:02):
as everybody assumes, the Republicans pick up a bunch of
seats in November, the Democrats who lose are by definition
going to be more moderate, right, because they're going to
be losing in these swing districts. So at the same
time that you get more progressives in the House caucus,
you're going to have fewer moderates. That's going to give
a lot of institutional power to people like Acasio Cortez

(20:23):
and her fellow you know, merry band of communists. And
it's really a one way ratchet. We've seen it in
the cities like all of our cities have been overtaken
now by these super woke far left Democrats who outflanked
the big Democratic Party machines. You know, I grew up
in Philly with this big Democratic Party machine. It was

(20:45):
corrupt as all get out, but we didn't get communists
on the city council. That's what you have in our
cities now in DA's who refuse to prosecute anything. And
that's what's happening to the National Party as well. What's that?
What's that mean for America? I mean, I'm just I'm
trying to game this out in my head because I
don't think you're wrong. I think you're sadly very right

(21:05):
that the cities are going to going to just continue
to descend into communist, crime ridden blue hell holes and
red America gets redder with these weird pockets of urban communism.
How can we be a country like that? Look, it's difficult,
and I look, I do think I think New Yorkers
were trying in electing Eric Adams to break out of

(21:29):
some of this far left stuff, and I think that
the fact that he's not been able to do it
only further proves my point. Like I think Eric Adams
would actually love to be able to police more effectively
and to you know, run primary you know, primaries against
state legislators who won't revoke bail reform. But he can't

(21:49):
do it because it's that locked in. And I agree
with you, Jesse, I. I think it's gonna be a
real tough spot for for a real long time here
the GOP. You have another piece of up in the
Daily Wire about their messaging going into the mid terms.
I personally believe it should be the social issue party
on top of obviously inflation and gas prices. I just

(22:10):
think that the not that the America is with us,
the left has gotten so crazy they've pulled away from
the rest of America. But what do you think, what
is the messaging they should run with. Well, I definitely
think that's part of it. And I think if you
look at you, if you talk to GOP leader McCarthy,
to talk to other people and leadership on the Hill

(22:31):
on the Republican side, a parental Bill of Rights, for example,
is one of the big things that they want to push,
and that's very much on the sort of social side
of the agenda. They want to look at the border,
you know, they want to push energy policy, you know,
more drilling stuff like that. And really what they want
to do is they want to find the issues that
have the broadest possible popularity for two reasons. One because

(22:55):
it'll help them win in swing districts, but two because
should they take power, these are the issues that they
look Joe Biden's still going to be president. They're not
going to have sixty votes in the Senate. They're not
going to be able to just pass whatever they want.
What they will be able to do is pass widely
popular bills in the House and force Senate Democrats and
Joe Biden to say no, no, no, no no to

(23:17):
priorities that the American people want. So I think that's
why they need to go big. They need to go positive.
They need to talk about how they're going to make
America a better place because Americans already don't like what
Biden's doing, so they don't really need to focus on
that too much. I don't disagree, Dave. Thank you so much, brother,
Thanks for having me all right. Time to talk some

(23:41):
culture Wars stuff with my friend Mike Ernovitch next. Before
we get to him. Though, it's a dangerous online world
out there. I'm Look, I'm teaching my sons about it.
I'm learning myself because I'm not some tech savvy guy.
But you don't think about your home being vulnerable. Right,
What's something I'm gonna do? Put it in their back pocket.

(24:02):
We'll know they're going to hack into your home title.
Your home title is not in a bank. Well, it
may be in a bank, but it's also online. They're
all online now, and these hackers, this is a huge
cyber crime sweeping the country. They hack in, they forge
your signature on it, and they go take loans out
against your home. You don't know. No one gives you
a heads up until you start getting eviction notices and

(24:25):
they will evict you from your home. Go get home
title Lock. They'll detect any tampering and shut it down
like that home title lock dot com. All right, protect yourself,
hometitlelock dot com. We'll be back. Have you watched the

(24:49):
movie hoaxt You should? You want to know how you
get manipulated, who's doing the manipulating with the media and politicians.
Go watch it. And the guy who made it, Cernovich,
my friend, he joins us now to talk about culture
wars and hopes, and you know what Actually, let's let's
start right there, Mike, before we get into culture wars stuff.

(25:09):
Why in an era where I have endless information available
to me right here, it's right here in my hand,
I can look I can look up brain surgery and
probably there's probably a YouTube video. Why is the public
more susceptible to being manipulated than ever when we have
more access to information than ever? I think it's less
susceptible the information. I think that we think that there

(25:31):
was a golden era where the news was true and
everybody believed the same things, but it was a falsees.
So I give you example. I just watched a movie
on I Love Lucy, and if you if you look
back at the ratings on I Love Lucy, I think
fifty million people watched that show, or how many people
watched them the Mash finale. So back then people trusted

(25:54):
Walter Cronkite, right, So I think back then people were
just as susceptible to ask illusions in mass psychosis as
they are today. And that this is why I'm optimist,
is this is the first time the past five or
ten years that we've actually been able to push back
and help people find the truth so as bad as

(26:14):
people think it is, I think it's better now than
it was, say, thirty years ago, even twenty years ago.
Why is it better it our trust has been violated
too much? Is it because of access to information? I mean,
we're certainly not smarter and not more well read. Why
is it better? Well, there's alternative voices now that there
weren't didn't exist. So imagine, for example, we all know

(26:36):
that the Vietnam War was started based on a false
flag operation called the Gulf of Tonkin. Right, there was
no way in the world back then for somebody say, hey,
how do we really know that this thing happened? Fast
forward to twenty seventeen, where they're saying that America has
to go to war in Syria now into World War
three because Assade is gassing children. And people said, well,

(26:58):
wait a minute, hold on a second year. We've been
down this road before. Let's actually see if this is
the case, and they weren't able to draw people into
a major war. Now. Ukraine is an interesting case because
the propaganda for Ukraine is the greatest propaganda campaign I've
ever seen in my lifetime. But think about it, Jesse,
Think about how you would have prevented World War three

(27:19):
because Assad is gassing little children. According to the media,
there would be no way for anyone to ask because
this actually happening. Is this actually true? So because of that,
people like you and others have in my view, prevented
World War three as of now. But it's still like
it's like the three hundred hold the line. You're still
getting smashed. So if you're on the front lines, then

(27:40):
all you feel is you're getting smashed, right, but you
look back and you realize we'll be held the line.
They haven't got us in a World War three yet,
and how bad have they tried? Right? The generals admitted
they lied to Trump about where troops were during his presidency.
He would say, hey, you need to remove troops, and
they would say, okay, we're going to do it, and
they would just lie to him about it. They admit
they all laugh about it now that he's gone. So

(28:03):
we are way better off than we were before when
Ukraine was though a different level of propaganda. I've never
seen anything like it before my life. Because now members
of Congress, including you know, Republicans, have joined in the
propaganda campaign and with the gust to Kiev and other things.
Why was it so bad around Ukraine? Because I'm one

(28:25):
of those people. I'm just kind of ambivalent about the
whole thing. My heart really only goes out to the
Ukrainian refugees. I feel bad for them, feel terrible for
them to have your home bombed out, relatives died. But honestly,
the propaganda campaign was so bad, as you just pointed out,
it actually turned me off that I stopped paying attention altogether.
I couldn't figure out what was real or not, so
I just kind of walked away from the whole thing.

(28:46):
But why was it so bad there? Because it was bad? Well,
one thing that we've learned is that the deep state,
the regime, they don't really understand Conservatives stay carpetture people, right,
That's how the news hoax has happened. And you know
right away like, Okay, this isn't really what you know.

(29:07):
There are like fifteen Neo Nazis in America and this
isn't really what they do. They don't go to Stanford
University in Penasuasika, right, The fifty neo Nazis are not
doing that. So the same is true with the propaganda
that the regime creates trying to make conservatives look bad
or trying to frame conservatives. It doesn't come off as
believable because they don't actually understand or know who they're

(29:29):
dealing with, whereas conservatives understand the liberal minds. So the
regime propaganda around Ukraine though, was what did work was
calling people pro Russia, right, So I'll that worked early on,
but then the sting wore off because we have inflation,
we have high gas prices, we have real problems in
America to focus on. But that was a massive propaganda

(29:51):
campaign and it was effective initially, but it wore off
because we have real problems in our country now, like
the culture war. Now. I feel like I hate to
sound like an optimist like you, but I feel like
we've turned a corner and we're winning it. I feel
like we're willing to fight it. We've turned a corner
and we're winning it. And that may not be because

(30:12):
we're right, but because they're so insane on the issues.
Am I wrong? I don't know that we're winning it,
but I do know that it goes like this, right.
You always got to start from first principles. America is
a culturally conservative country. This is never represented by Republicans
because they all live in DC, which is of course
a degenerate assess pool. So when DC they think that, well, America,

(30:36):
we need to pivot to the middle on cultural. Pivot
in the middle on culture is actually left wing debasement. Right,
So America has always been a culturally conservative country. Even
look at groups that vote demographically for Democrats, there's still
culturally conservative. So what is happening now is there is
a massive pushback. There's massive loss in public trust in

(30:58):
public schools, which is the biggest power based on the
leftist are in doctrination camp. So there are there are
battles being one. But you got to realize where I
always say we out they outnumber. Rather, we are smarter
than they are. But in the propagandists in the media
and the regime, they do outnumber us ten to one,
twenty to one, maybe fifty to one. But we are

(31:18):
we are winning a lot of battles. And Christian Ruffo
and others have done fantastic work on the public school
issue especially. Yeah, no, they certainly have. All Right, Elon Musk,
obviously he's been in the news. I see you've gotten
his attention quite a bit for his attempt to purchase Twitter. Now,
I'm not one of these people who says social media
doesn't matter. Social media is gigantically important because all the

(31:40):
powerful people think it's important, Therefore it becomes important. They've
turned the knives on him pretty badly, and I'm one
of these people. I think his life is genuinely in
danger if he's going to be some system disruptor billionaire
who's going to go after these people, what say you?
Of course, and he's realized the peril of his position

(32:01):
now and now they're saying that, you know, there's he
offers somebody a horse for a massage, that's where they're going.
That's the love that they're going to do. So he's
under a full on attack in a way that I
don't think he's ever experienced before. The flip side, though,
is people like him, don't they respond to that differently? Right?
Some people are built different because what brought me into

(32:23):
this cultural war stuff or the attacks. There's some people
where if you tell someone you can't do that, and
we're gonna bully you into not doing it, then a
light goes off and you're like, well, I'm actually more
interested now with this, right, Whereas before I was bored,
Because before Trump, I was bored. I didn't care. You
think I'm gonna campaign for John McCain or Mitt Romney
or Paul Ryan. You got of your mind, hey, quit

(32:44):
going to the gym and having fun and hanging out
with your friends and taking hikes and running around because
you need to save the country and you need to
vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan or you need
to really vote for John's a joke, right, So with
then some people that that's sitement. You feel the fire
coming and now you feel like you're a little bit alive.
And I feel like that's Elon's mentality too. He takes

(33:07):
on impossible problems, right, Hey, I want to go to Mars.
Yeah right, I can barely leave my house. I go
five miles to the gym, and you know, my wife's
worried about me, Like you've been gone an hour and
a half. Are you okay? Does something happen? So he's like,
I want to go to Mars. I want to build
electric cars and you know, whatever the case, and that
is technologically that was an impressive he remember the Left
went from who killed the electric car? To time for

(33:30):
them to kill Elon musk. Isn't that interesting shift, right?
Because you and I are about the same age, and
we remember it was a major scandal that the electric
car didn't exist. Who killed it? Big Oil? Did Big
Oil evil? And now they're saying, oh wait, the guy
who revived the electric car is a guy that the
left wants to kill. Now that's an interesting twist. I
think that gen X is sing it is Mike Sandervinch,

(33:51):
thank you, my brother. I appreciate you, my pleasure. My
friend Mike Slater joins me next. But first, before he
does that, let's talk about your health. Well, you know what,
let's just talk about your allergies. How bad are they
this year? Be honest, got a lower email here. I
can read you, Jesse. I don't usually poop my pants.

(34:15):
That will come into play later on in the show.
But when I do, my Eden Pure three pack can
vacate the smell. He's making a joke about Jerry Nather anyway.
He says, I got a three pack last week, and
they work. I get emails like this every day about
Eden Pure thunderstore. It fixed my allergies. It cleans the
air of your home constantly. Your home smells so good.

(34:37):
Kills viruses and mold. Go get a three pack because
I own three to have a three pack for sale
for my viewers, go to eden pure deals dot com
and use the code jesse and that gets you a
three pack for two hundred dollars off. That's under two
hundred bucks Eden pure deals dot Com code jesse. The

(35:08):
right to privacy that forms the basis of ROWE is
the same right to privacy that protects the right to
use contraception and the right to marry the person you love,
including a person of the same sex. Overturning ROWE opens
the door to restricting those rights. It would be a

(35:31):
direct assault on the fundamental right to self determination to
live and love without interference from the government. That's Vice
President Dome pushing abortion. Surprise surprise, joining me now our
very own Mike Slater. He of course has a great
special out called American Overdose about fentnel and highly recommend

(35:53):
you watch it and as another one out about abortion. Mike,
how do we as a country, how do so many
of us, how do we just accept sixty three million
unborn kids dead now because they never got to be born?
We walk around and we act like this isn't the
worst ged asigned in the history of mankind when that's

(36:16):
exactly what it is mine. It is the greatest moral
abomination certainly of our era, if not ever next to slavery.
It is the slavery of our era. And the worst
part about it, I think, other than the murders, is
men are told you're not allowed to have an opinion. Jesse,
you and I were not allowed to talk about this issue.

(36:38):
That demand's a man's power and strength and truth to
speak to it. Women nurture, men protect It's in our nature.
And we've had shrill feminist activists since the sixties masculating
men taken off their balls so that half the population
isn't allowed to staying. And you hear this all the
time from men just in general, but also men who

(36:58):
impregnated a woman who say, oh, I'm just gonna let
the woman decide. No, you need to step up and
stand up on this issue, maybe more than any other
she exists. Now, she brought up interracial marriage right loving
free Virginians. What by VP? Dome just talked about that
that's a civil rights issue, right like interracial marriage? One,
do you want to talk about a civil rights issue.
Just see not only sixty three million babies twenty million

(37:22):
African American twenty million Black babies have been murdered. Forty
percent of abortions in America today are black women, and
black women only makeup African marriage a twelve percent of
the population. Black people are twel percent of the population
forty percent of the abortions. More Black babies are murdered
every year in New York City than are born. All right,

(37:42):
if you want to, I've had a civil rights battle.
This is the civil rights battle. Mike. I was pleasantly surprised,
though I'm not a Catholic, to see the archbishop. Archbishops
are apparently high ranking Catholics go after Nancy Pelosi and
tell her she's no longer allowed to have of communion.
And of course now the system is attacking this guy

(38:03):
as sub vicious monster and attacking the church. Mike, I say,
if the Communists aren't attacking your church, your church is
probably weak and infiltrated by the Communists. I'm not a Catholic,
but I'm I'm a Christian, so I speak from the
Protestant perspective. A church must do two things. First, speak
against the moral abominations of society, as we just spoke about.

(38:25):
If your church is not actively speaking out against abortion
and investing in pro life pregnancy centers in their community,
then I don't know what kind of church that is.
The second thing in church must do is what's called
protect the table. Right. You don't let people take communion
who are in unrepentant sin. And this can look like
all different types of things, and openly supporting and protecting

(38:49):
the right to murder babies would be one of those
unrepentant sins that we're talking about now. If you've had
an abortion, which many women clearly have, and you are
repentant about that, by means confess your sin, repentant the
whole thing, right then or you're more than welcome, you're
encouraged to take part in the community. But if you're
in constant unrepentantness, then no, a church must protect that

(39:11):
table and kick you out of the church and nothing else.
Speaking of children, we had this video drop and this
is a clip from the Mazzoni Center. They actually got
five million dollars in taxpayer tax Payamounty you pay this
person's salary, Mike, I pay this person's salary. Credit to
Chris Rufo for dropping this video. Check this out. And

(39:34):
I am Rachel Simon. I used she her pronoun. I
am the author of the Everybody Book, which is a
an LGBTQ inclusive sex ed resource for seven to twelve
year old. Sexuality education starts the minute you're born. I mean,
we we're born with bodies. These bodies are cool. We
want to touch our bodies. We're learning about privacy and

(39:57):
you know, being sexual and public from a very early aid.
Homophobic and transphobic ideas from parents can absolutely be a problem,
in escapable judgment. Yeah, they get in misinformed parents who
have no idea how to talk about gay sex. They're biased.
If they are religious, it can be very difficult to

(40:19):
get into the conversation with them. Mike, explain to me
how we as a society are going to uproot this
level of depravity. I mean, these people are operating on children,
not just their minds, They're operating on their bodies. We
have an industry supported by the law, I should point out,

(40:41):
or I should say, protected by the law of attacking
children even once they're born. How do we get rid
of this? Mine? Good question. We live in a post
Christian world. There's a new religion that most people ascribe
to religion called moral therapeutic deism. Long story, but the
main tentative of it is the most important thing, the
most important virtue in the world is to be nice.

(41:04):
You just have to be nice. Nice people go to heaven.
That's all either be. So the conversation that the worst
thing possible is to be mean. So everyone wants to
be nice. No one wants to be mean, Jesse. Kelly
doesn't care about being nice or thought of as being
but most people do. That's how they say. Listening to
your radio show the other day, and you played the
clip of the queer fourth grade teacher who was talking

(41:24):
about being queer with their students in the classroom whatever,
and you made the comment that you're like, don't I
don't want anything to do with these people, Like we're
not friends, we don't heal, we don't unites, we're not bonding,
we're not coming together. These people are should have nothing
to do with schools, and I want them to have
nothing to do with my life. Now, you and I
were protecting our kids, Jesse, we're doing everything. I would

(41:45):
never let them be anywhere near my children. These not
only groomers, but perverts, right, right, But I'm worried about
most of the people who just want to be nice
and don't want to say anything, don't want to step up,
don't want to ruffle any feathers, don't want to be mean,
and they're willingly hand and their children over these kids,
over these schools, to these people. Just maybe what assuming
the best, because again, they just want to go to
heaven and they just want to be nice, and they're

(42:07):
gonna let their kids be colonized by these these these
people who are infiltrating them with evil, horrible things like
like things that ten years ago which have bobble the mind,
let alone like our grandparents. Right. So the first thing
is just make sure you do not outsource the responsibility
of raising your kids to people who hate you and
to people who hate your worldview, because they do and

(42:30):
they're actively attacking it from the from and they're going
after our kids to do it. Now, just do not
let your kids anywhere near these people. Mike, you have
finally you have an overdose special alt called American Overdose
about and they will just give people a little primer
on this. People do not understand this poison that is
coming across our border. Yeah, and it's a full scale attack, purposeful.

(42:53):
Might add, the the greatest killer of people eighteen to
forty nine in our country today is fett. We do
this thought experiment about nine eleven, So nine eleven is
like the quintessential moment of horror and tragedy. Whatever. Three
thousand people done, sixty thousand people overdosed in twenty twenty
on final sixty thousand, so it's twenty x nine eleven.

(43:14):
So imagine if you took all the deaths spread out
over a year, all across the country, you concentrated in
a single moment, in a single image at a single time.
That imagine that the devastation of that, And that's what
we're seeing, but no one's really paying attention because it's
spread out all over the bose. So it's the greatest
killer of people eighteen to forty nine, an overdose one
every five minutes. How about that. The chemicals are coming from,

(43:36):
of all places, Wuhan, China. They're not just keeping coming
from China. The Wuhan China shipped to the cartels in
Mexico and then brought across the border here. So we
have lots of different issues here right up to and
including the border protection itself. So we talked about how
that works coming across the border, how it's made with
the cartels down south. Who is dying. It's not just
homeless people, as if they don't even matter anyway, right,

(43:57):
It's not just homeless people. We talked to a psychiatrist
who is twenty years of practice. He's never seen an
overdose death in his practice. This last year he had two.
One of them was a middle schooler who took a
like an oxycot CoDown or something like that, but it
was laced with fentanyl, which is what all these that's
how fentanyl people died. You need two grains of a
rice amount of fentenol and you're dead in minutes. So

(44:18):
they laced it into these other pills that people think
are other pills. And this middle schooler, his dad was
downstairs making him a hamburger for lunch. It was a
school day, he wasn't at school because schools were locked down. Jesse,
we gotta keep our kids safe. We got to protect him,
and he was protected from COVID as he took a
pill to feel took a pill to not be afraid anymore,

(44:41):
took a pill, pill because he's been isolated from his
friends and his family and his school and his sports
and activities and everything he does, and took a pill
and then died. And his dad found him when he
came upstairs to give him the hamburger. This is happening.
And we had a president who cared about this, who
wanted to do something about it, and he was laughed
at and mocked and ridiculed. And now we have a
president who doesn't care. Because we more illegal immigrants in
this country, we don't want to protect the border because

(45:02):
of it. This is a huge issue. I'd argue it's
the most it's the biggest issue that's least talked about
in our country today, fentanyl and all the opiods. Quite frankly,
it's coming from Wuhan and the cartepcy. Go watch this special.
It's available right now. Go support the first TV, the
first TV dot com slash the poor. Go watch what
he has to say. Mike, I appreciate it, brother, Hi,
you the man jest All right, that was a lot,

(45:26):
It was important, So let's lighten the mood. Thanks. Each morning,
the President of the United States receives a highly classified
briefing on the most important issues facing the country. It's
called the President's Daily Brief or PDB. It's delivered by
America's spies and analysts. Well now you can hear your

(45:48):
very own PDB in the form of a podcast hosted
by me Brian Dean Wright, a former CIA operations officer.
Each morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen
to twenty minutes of the most important issues in the country,
giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to
start your morning. Have you ever pooped your pants? I mean,

(46:17):
with the exception of being a small child, you an adult.
Have you pooped your pants? Maybe you have no judgment
here if you have, I thought, I get it. Things
happened right. Maybe you trusted one you shouldn't have trusted
and just ended up that way. But you would like
to think that the people in power, the people who
run this country, You would like to think that they

(46:39):
don't routinely poop their pants. But then that brings us
to Jerry Nadler. Maybe you've forgotten about this. I have not.
This is from twenty twenties, so it's not like it
happened yesterday. But I when I find scumbags like Jerry Nadler,
and I learned that they not only pooped themselves, they
pooped themselves on camera and then try to waddle off
stage so no one notice. I want to bring you

(47:01):
the videos like this. Here's a video of Jerry Nadler
whooping his pants. Very important world part of this package,
sings chair Woman. I can either confirm or deny whether

(47:22):
we added those sound effects after the fact, I'll see
them all
