Patriot J and Chase Geiser dissect Hunter Biden's alleged racism, debating whether economic inflation or welfare policies drive minority struggles. They condemn the 2020 election's mail-in voting, question Caitlin Jenner's governorship, and assert the COVID-19 response was a phony scam that violated First Amendment rights. The duo speculates the virus was lab-manipulated, claims the WHO is bought by foreign interests, and argues China's labor practices resemble slavery. Ultimately, Patriot J identifies media bias as America's greatest threat for fracturing national identity, defining true patriotism as freedom from government intervention under the Bill of Rights. [Automatically generated summary]
I never went to law school, but I did take the LSAT because I was thinking about it.
So I know a little bit about what it's like to study, but I know obviously the bar is a lot more intense than the LSAT because all you're doing on the LSAT is.
Nah, I don't because I feel like I'm a different person.
And I feel like I learned so much.
But it's just, I'm in a lot of debt, you know, and I feel like I could have started my career and I could have started working like three years ago when I graduated undergrad, but it's okay.
I'm pretty sure I got a C, but um, but like, I feel like it just opened up another way of thinking and looking at the world.
And um, I took that my second semester in college, so it was like spring of my first year.
And the semester before that, I took um, I took an English course in Africana studies, and that was pretty much like critical race theory and shit.
You know, white people are bad, the oppressor, America's capitalist patriarchy, uh, white supremacy, and everything that the left is kind of running with today.
So, after that class, I was like low-key indoctrinating, you know, I kind of felt like, yeah, down with the system, blah, blah, blah, all this.
And then I took the logic course next semester and I was like, wait a minute, that's pretty radical.
Let me kind of step outside of my feelings and look at things objectively.
And that's when I kind of decided to check out what people on the right were talking about.
This was also, it was also 2015.
I had just turned 18.
So 2016 was going to be my first election.
So I said, you know what?
Let me do my due diligence.
Let me see what the Republicans are talking about.
I was rocking with like Ben Carson at first.
And then I got word that Donald Trump was running.
And I feel like once I saw Donald Trump come down those escalators, that was it for me.
And that's that's um, I've always been interested in that stuff.
Like even when I was a lefty, um, that first year of college, I had to take a um, I take like a communications class and they made me do a speech.
And I did a speech on um the creature from Jekyll Island and the formation of the Federal Reserve.
And that's, I just think that stemmed from me kind of always being like a conspiracy theorist and just questioning authority, you know, and looking into like who owns these institutions that pretty much run our life.
So I was, um, I've been thinking about this stuff a lot.
Um, and I'd be really interested to hear your feedback as a black man because for a long time, I've struggled with like what happened to the black community in the 60s and 70s that like moved the whole culture from being like, you know, Christian, conservative, nuclear family, you know, like if you look at Martin Luther King protests, like everybody's wearing their Sunday best.
But the point I wanted to make was like, it occurred to me, and I don't know if this is true or not, but this is my running theory that it's possible that the minority communities in America were getting by, but just barely.
And then after we went off the gold standard in the 70s, that sort of put them over the threshold.
So my dad had to get two or three jobs.
So he wasn't like at home with the kid as much.
Mom had to get a job too.
And like maybe that sort of like led to this culture that's stereotypically associated with crime.
Although, of course, it's not true for the whole race by any means.
I'm not trying to be that guy.
But I wonder if inflation and government programs, which caused the inflation are actually the problem that the minorities face.
So like they're perpetuating the problem by constantly spending.
And then, and like you see the wealth gap increase.
And whenever inflation happens, the wealth gap increases because the rich people have money in the market.
So the prices, the values of all their assets go up.
And people that are too poor to put money in the market, they just lose buying power.
And so it would make sense that inflation would make minorities poorer and white dudes richer, right?
I hadn't even thought about it from like the economic angle.
Usually when I think of it, I always just kind of attribute it to like, I guess like what you said, like government spending programs or like welfare programs encouraging these type of like behaviors and stuff.
Well, and the thing to think about too is like, if the government programs themselves encourage the behavior, then you'd see it across all races, right?
Because then like any dude could, any dude could take, take advantage of those.
But I think that what happened was the spending put all those that right on the threshold because there was some serious racism in the 60s and 70s, right?
And so like they were getting by, but like they weren't able to go in the same restaurants, do business with the same people.
There was real racism, explicit racism there.
And so they were getting by like within their own communities economically, but that inflation put them over the threshold where it just wasn't cutting it when prices went up, man.
Great point.
So I don't know for sure, but I'm sure some economists could just slaughter me on that.
But so what are your thoughts on this whole critical race theory thing going on now?
Do you think that it's, do you think it's going to last or do you think that we're going to beat it?
I don't think people should be taught to hate America, hate people for the color of their skin.
But it's like speech, you know, and I feel like waging an attack on speech is never really good.
I think we should be focused on promoting our alternatives, you know, and coming up with our way to educate our own children, not just saying like, okay, what the Dems do is bad and we're going to just focus on what the Dems do all day instead of saying, you know, like, okay, we're going to try to come up with our competing theory.
But I do think it's weird that like education and academia has evolved into like some sort of political debate where we're arguing over the way that people get, people teach our kids.
And it's so like, it's so, I guess, one-sided in the fact that like, okay, if you're a Dem, you're probably going to be for it.
Or if you're Republican, you're against it.
And I feel like just the fact that people are focusing on it so much is just another way to kind of divide us.
And I kind of think of it like in the same way that I think of the Me Too movement.
I think that the Me Too movement was awesome for a lot of women, particularly like Harvey Weinstein victims.
But in my opinion, you could totally disagree.
But in my opinion, the Me Too thing got way carried away to the point where like now when there's a sexual assault allegation made up against any politician, including Cuomo, who I'm not a fan of, I just don't, well, I just don't believe it though, because they threw it too much.
And now like, now I'm like, I don't believe I'm worried about the same thing with racism because like, I think that like there probably are some racist issues and racist systems that need to be fixed.
But if everything is always racism, then it's hard for me to like identify any instance of racism other than the obvious explicit stuff.
You know what I mean?
It's like, if we just throw the word around, like you can't throw the word Nazi around.
Yeah, I lived in the South for a little while and I ran into maybe one or two guys that made it clear that they were actual white supremacists in all the seven years I lived in Tennessee.
And they were way older dudes, very deep rooted, but actual explicit, you know, like American history X white supremacists.
Like people call people call me like a white supremacist sometimes on Twitter.
And I'm like, bro, if I was a white supremacist, I would have got the email to Charlottesville.
Uh, I was 11, I was 11 2000, I was, I was like 12 in 2009, so I was probably like 12 or 13, maybe.
Um, had a YouTube channel and I just did like comedic sketches.
And then one day, my camera broke, so I needed to give content to my subscribers.
So, I was like, All right, whatever, I'm gonna just rap until I fix my camera.
So, I took my guitar hero microphone and I just plugged it into my computer, uh, up, found the beat, and then I just spit like some silly ass freestyles.
I'll send you the link after, but all right, yeah, so I needed content.
I said, Whatever, I'll just freestyle rap.
I did a couple of those and then um, I fixed my camera and I started making videos again.
And I kind of forgot about rap until um, that was that was probably like eighth grade, so maybe like sophomore year of high school is when I started getting to it again.
I started making music with my friends, just joking, having some fun.
I had this song called Spring Break, and that was kind of like popular in my area.
So, uh, when I saw that people like kind of liked it, I was like, you know what, maybe I should keep doing this.
So, I um, I put out a couple of mixtapes in high school and then I started taking it like seriously when I was in college.
My um, my sophomore year of college, 2016, on July 4th, in fact, 2016, I dropped my first like studio album.
It was called Meditations.
It was uh, it was pretty, it was pretty like, it was pretty deep.
I named it Meditations after Marcus.
Um, so I was, uh, I was just talking about, I guess, like things that I enjoyed.
I had a song about um, like manufactured terrorism, so I was pretty deep, um, but I recorded that like in an actual studio, so it was fun kind of going to a studio.
And then, um, since that time, I just was like kind of releasing singles, and then 2019, I want to say, is when I decided to take it even more serious.
And so, I used to rap under the name J Hots, but I was like, nah, I just, my name on Twitter, actually, even though I was like J Hots professionally, my name on Twitter had been Patriot J since like the midterms in 2018, because I was working on a campaign and I just felt that it was like a cool name.
So like December 2019, I said, you know what, maybe I should just take the Patriot J name and run with that for rap.
So I wrote a song called Meet Patriot J. And yeah, that's my album.
And it was, it was crazy because I was, like I said, I was writing the songs in December, but I just so happened to blow up on Twitter like around like May, you know?
So it was, it was pretty cool that I got the chance to drop music for an actual audience, you know, and I'm just glad that everybody's been receiving it well.
If I could make a living arguing about the Constitution all day, that would be it for me.
But it's not really practical, like constitutional law and a lot of the stuff is kind of pro bono because you're helping out like people who don't really have like the strength of a big corporation behind them in some cases.
So I feel like right now I'm either thinking about doing like criminal law, maybe some criminal defense work, or maybe like contracts work because I really enjoy my contracts class.
So just, I guess, like separation of powers and stuff, issues like that, dealing with like how the government is formed.
And then the second class was like an upper level constitutional class called individual rights.
And that was focused on like more of the substantive rights, like equal protection, due process, First Amendment issues, like freedom of speech, religion, assembly, and all that stuff.
And then I took a media in the law class too, which was pretty much all about the First Amendment.
Yeah, but it was largely about like reporters' rights and when the government can and can't really tell somebody what to publish or defamation was a big topic too, like what you can say about people.
I am familiar with it, but not intimately familiar with it.
I think I've read the significant portions of it embedded in other articles a couple of times a long time ago, but I understand that they're not liable for the behavior on their platform.
So I think the law says like no internet service provider shall be treated as a publisher.
And they can pretty much take actions to remove content that they deem objectionable.
So that's why that's why you can't really sue Twitter for like blocking your account.
But Justice Thomas recently argued, I forget the opinion, but he made an argument that we should treat Twitter and Facebook and all these social media platforms sort of like public utilities, how we do like phone companies, you know, because AT ⁇ T can't really ban your access to your phone if they hear you say something you don't like.
And I think that's a really good way to look at it because if you think about it, like social media is so embedded in everybody's lives right now, like you can't turn on, you can turn on the TV and the social media handles will be like right underneath the news anchors names, you know, and these, these are, it's just so prevalent in our society.
Like I think a judge or something ruled that like President Trump couldn't even block people.
So if the president can't block you because that's like that's like preventing access to the president, how is Twitter able to block the president?
I've struggled with this too, because, you know, I'm a big Ayn Rand fan and I'm very pro-capitalism.
So my default position is always, hey, if it's a private company, you know, and people throw that around a lot and there was a lot of backlash like, hey, make your own Twitter.
So like the way that I've kind of been thinking about it now is these companies that we call private companies are A, publicly traded.
And B, they are constantly under threat of being broken up because of antitrust laws, new regulations, new taxes.
I mean, you've got like, when you've got Elizabeth Warren texting your company, like, hey, at Google, you're way too big.
Like it's going to change leadership behavior.
And that's going to change the way that the board of those companies votes.
So like you've got the situation where politicians are constantly and explicitly or specifically threatening these companies, right?
To try to leverage them.
And There's so much funding and public private work that goes on in terms of like research and data and security stuff that goes on with like Google and the federal government or Google and the Department of Defense, right?
Yeah, and it's like, how can you really say for sure?
How can you really say that these are private companies when they work so closely with the government and the government is constantly like kind of bossing them around?
So I'm, I don't know, the way I kind of see it, I think that that's why the First Amendment should apply because in my mind, they're not even really private companies at this point.
His name's Frank Abignale Jr. and he gave a speech at Google.
And I emailed him.
I was like, hey, man, your speech was awesome.
And he's like, thanks.
But I thought that was like the coolest thing four years ago.
But that dude, I don't know if it's true or not in real life, but remember in the movie how he's like, Tom Hanks is always trying to get him to admit how he cheated on the bar.
And then in addition to those, they can be tested on the essay, but the essays also test California-specific stuff.
So California includes the UBE subjects, and then you have to learn wills and trusts, California civil procedure because it's different from federal civil procedure.
And then you have to know the California rules of evidence because those are different from the federal rules of evidence.
You have to know the California rules of professional conduct, which is pretty much like your ethical obligations as a lawyer.
And the California rules slightly differ from the model rules that the ABA puts out.
So it's those topics plus the like the standard MBE subjects.
And these are all the MBE subjects are all required for you to take.
They're required for you to take in your first year.
And then your, well, they give you like, so my first year, I took contracts, torts, con law, property.
I had a writing class and something else.
But it's all of the subjects.
I'm just pretty much reviewing all of the subjects I learned my first year and my second year because that was like, I don't know, a long time ago.
And then there's still, there's additional stuff that they don't really teach you in law school that the bar might test you on.
So in my property class, we didn't learn about anything having to deal with mortgages, but I guess the bar tests mortgages.
So they implement that into the course.
So the course I'm taking, it's pretty much you watch lectures for every single subject.
You take practice tests, you take practice multiple choice for the multiple choice ones.
And then at a certain point, it's supposed to just click and then I'll have learned the law again and everything will be in my head.
So having gone through all this and studying, obviously studying about what the law is is a little different than studying about how it's practically enforced, regardless of whether how it should be.
But what are your thoughts on like our whole criminal justice system and what's going on?
Because it seems like there's people that are going to prison for like decades that should maybe only go for six months.
There's all sorts of people that get away with shit.
Like, how does this work in terms of choosing which cases to prosecute and then determining what evidence is used to get a conviction?
Because it seems like the standard for conviction has gotten lower in the United States.
So I don't know too much about, I guess, the criminal process.
I worked for the district attorney.
When I went to law school, I kind of wanted to become a prosecutor.
And then working for the district attorney made me a little bit disillusioned because when I was in there, I just felt like I felt like the way they talked about some of these people was just like, I don't know, rubbed me the wrong way.
And then it just seems too much of like an assembly line.
So, you know, the like junior attorneys at the district attorney's office will just get their case.
They'll work on their case.
Right after that, they'll get another case.
And it's, I feel like it's too conviction based.
You know, they're always worried about, okay, well, I got to, I got to bring this case forward because I got to get my conviction rates up.
You know, I got to get my numbers.
I feel like they almost have to meet their quotas in the same way that like police officers do when getting tickets.
And that's never a good way to enforce justice.
You don't want to have to meet these arbitrary numbers.
You want to actually do good by the client.
You want to actually do good by the people.
You want to put in, you want to bring a case if you think you can prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, not just because you feel pressure from the higher ups to meet your certain numbers.
So it's to me, it's a little bit like impersonal.
And I just think people, the people at the top kind of become like power struck also because they're in there for years.
You know, they feel like they can do whatever they want.
And that's, that's never really good.
We need like some sort of oversight or more accountability.
But like you watch, I mean, like, I love law movies, lawyer movies.
I know that it's obviously a dramatization of what's mostly sort of like a paperwork job.
But like, it's, that's one thing that's captured in the movies too, is just how competitive the prosecutors are.
And it seems to me that that's, that's very, very much a conflict of interest with actual justice.
I mean, obviously, you want like in an ideal world, you have a prosecutor who believes that the person is guilty and you have a defense attorney who believes that the person is innocent and they hash it out.
But it seems now you have a prosecutor who doesn't care if the defendant is innocent and a defense attorney that may or may not actually believe their client's innocent.
And I feel like, especially the public defenders, they're like, they're overworked.
So, you know, they're, I don't, I would like to imagine they put in their full effort, but I can't really say that they really would on each case just because of like the time constraints and the amount of cases that they see on a monthly basis.
Well, I had a buddy who was a cop and I kind of resonated with this with what you said about how you were kind of off put by maybe some of the remarks that you heard at the district attorney's office.
Just like, if you're, if 90% of the people that you deal with as a police officer or a defense attorney or even a prosecutor, if 90% of them are like the scum of the earth, then it's really easy to just assume they all are.
You know what I mean?
Like, if you're a public defender and you're like, all right, this guy's got no money and he obviously raped this person.
You know what I mean?
It's like, but then like the night, then like after a thousand times, you get one that's like, just happens to be poor and like didn't actually rape the person, you know, but you just like you're, you're so biased from your history that you just assume the person's guilty walking in.
Like, that's one of the things that scares me about public defenders is that the type of people who have to rely on the public defender system are probably the type of people who are more likely to commit crimes or less likely to be innocent.
But yeah, no, I don't, I don't think he's, he's, uh, he's racist, but it is funny to kind of watch people on the right say, look, Hunter Biden said this.
He's racist, because I feel like they're just using the left's tactics.
Like, for example, when Fauci took his book off of Amazon and lost his publishing deal, I was like, I was like, listen, I'm no fan of Fauci, but like, we can't just not let people write books, you know?
And I got, I got hate from the right, like blocked, mute, like, all this stuff.
I'm like, bro, it's like, we can't just cancel everybody, man.
It's like that Gandhi quote, an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
It's like the only person left on Twitter at the end of this is going to be Joe Biden.
Because they're racist and they don't think highly of Black people, like dead ass.
Everything they accuse the right of being is what they are.
I think it's ridiculous to assert that because a politician is saying, hey, you need an ID to vote, that somehow singles out Black people because every Black person I know has an ID.
I haven't run into a single Black person who doesn't have an ID.
The only Black person I know without an ID is my little cousin, and that's because he's seven years old.
So why do you think it is that minorities and specifically Black people, why do you think it is that the Democrats have sort of gotten a monopoly over that whole entire constituency?
Probably a little bit of both, more hopeless, but I think some of them just don't really give a shit.
They feel like maybe, well, they're always going to vote for Democrats.
So why even try?
But I think it's largely because Black people haven't really been presented with like a feasible alternative to the crazy left Dems, especially in like, I guess, big urban areas like Chicago.
That should be Chicago's conditions, you know, terrible or whatever.
That should be an opportunity for someone on the right to come in and say, like, hey, look, things are going bad.
I've got this common sense approach that if you would just try and let me show you the results, you would, I promise you would end up liking.
But I feel like a lot of them just don't go into these like overwhelmingly black areas.
And you mentioned that, like, part of your transition was taking that critical thinking class after you'd taken a critical race theory class.
Was that enough to do it?
Or was there more to that?
Because I'm just trying to figure out.
I've been thinking about this a lot today specifically.
Like, what, how do you, how do minds actually change?
You know, like, I thought about my life and like religious changes that have happened or like even political changes that have happened and what I, in terms of what I believe.
And there's only been like two major changes in my life personally.
And like, it just seems to me that changing your mind about something so big as what party to support is a really big life change.
So I think what's really important is one, just talking to people, like being a being a good person, engaging in a good faith conversation with somebody on the other side, trying to let them know why you believe in it and presenting what you believe.
Because I feel like I feel like the right has common sense on lock.
Like I feel like most of our policies are rooted in common sense.
You know, government, leave me alone.
I can take care of it on my own.
Common sense approach.
So by talking to people, you kind of just plant seeds in their mind.
I feel like that my professor who taught me logic was definitely a Republican.
And I didn't know it until I found him on Facebook like a couple months ago.
And I had to thank him for teaching me logic and turning into a Republican.
Come to find out he has this like entire Facebook page dedicated to like destroying leftism in academia.
But I remember specifically, he made this like funny joke about, it was just like an anti-dem joke.
I think it was something like said something about like making bad decisions and you'd be like, yeah, like voting for Obama for a second time.
And I just laughed because it was funny.
You know, I was still like a Dem, but it was just a funny joke.
So I feel like in addition to talking with people, we need to engage in the culture war a little bit more.
You know, maybe we need to have our comedians out there.
We need to have our filmmakers out there, our musicians out there.
So that's why I feel like, I feel like that's why I'm big on kind of rapping about things that matter to me because music, like you can reach a lot more people with music than you can with just the conversation.
You know, somebody, certain people might be less willing to listen to you, but they might be more willing to put on a song, you know.
And if a song's just like kind of catchy or if it's just got them listening in the background, you know, maybe five years from now, they might kind of remember that song and be like, you know what?
But he's not going to change anybody's mind, right?
The reason I love Ben Shapiro is because he totally reaffirms everything I already thought, right?
You know, so like, like, it's fun to watch him, like, you know, Ben Shapiro owns like feminists, you know, student.
It's fun to watch that shit.
But like, and I totally agree with what you said.
You're like, listen, Republicans are the common sense party, but if we don't figure out a way to win the emotional debate rather than the logical one, we're never going to get people to swing over, man, because the Dems, they kick our ass in terms of emotion.
Like, like it just came out today that you remember when they had the Trump photo up and he like held the Bible or something and people were upset because Trump just wanted to take credit for himself and he wanted everybody to move around him.
Came out today that the story was a lie and that I guess the feds were already like evacuating the space or something like that.
Bro, what if we got a ruling that said biased media coverage has to be quantified on as a donation in kind for campaign finance reporting?
You know what I mean?
Because like, like all the, all the freebies that Joe Biden got throughout the campaign and all the stuff that got censored for him, like, how does that not show up on the quarterly campaign finance reports as like, you know, X million dollars worth of press?
Like despite, despite, I guess, the vaccine faults and his last kind of few weeks in office that I didn't really like, I still really like Donald Trump a lot.
And I don't think there's anybody who would like, I don't think there's anybody who would energize me enough to get out and vote for.
I see people talking about DeSantis, but I don't know much about the guy.
But I mean, he's got, he's got some years to change my mind, but still, I just feel like people are just talking about him just to kind of prop him up.
But I don't know what he's done.
And he just, he doesn't have that like persona to me.
Like I like, I like, I like a big personality.
You know, I feel like it's important to have like a, like a visionary leader in office, somebody who's going to somebody who's got a vision to change things.
Like even when I was a kid, I liked Obama because he seemed like he wanted to change things for the better.
And he was charismatic.
He's very persuasive.
Same thing with Trump.
You know, he's, he's charismatic in his own way.
He's really funny.
It's entertaining.
I feel like there's nobody who could really do that for me right now, which is kind of messed up to say that I would vote based on a personality, but it's very important to me.
You know, if I was still in California, I would probably vote for her just because I think it would be such an awesome troll for the first trans woman to be a Republican, you know?
No, I think I blame Corona for writing because when COVID hit, I was doing an internship in DC.
And then I was living in like a like kind of dorm style apartments with a bunch of other interns.
And once COVID hit, they transferred me to a one-bedroom, which was pretty cool.
I was in a one-bedroom by myself in Washington, D.C., but I was also extremely lonely and I didn't have anything to do but kind of find beats and raps.
So I feel like just because I had a lot of time, I started writing more.
But going forward, I probably won't drop another album until maybe like spring 2022, because I really wanted, I really do want to get some more music out, but I'll probably just drop like singles up until up until like spring.
But I feel like pretty much pretty much anything goes under an emergency.
You know, a lot of a lot of rights get suspended, which is understandable if it was really an emergency, not just a year-long phony scam to kind of prolong things and destroy the president.
In my kind of vague memory, the Bill of Rights was like, yeah, it was pretty much a condition that needed to be fulfilled in order to get like the anti-federalists to ratify the Constitution.
They said, hey, we're not going to ratify this new constitution unless it does a little more to protect individual freedoms.
So that's when they came up with the Bill of Rights to kind of pacify the anti-federalists because the Federalists thought that the structure of government, you know, separating power, diffusing it between branches, they thought that was enough to protect individual freedoms.
But the anti-federalists were saying, no, we need like some express guarantees in this contract.
Well, the thing that scares me about what happened last year is that it seems to me that like I understand the argument for emergency powers and suspending rights in the state of emergency, but it seems to me that in the case of a real emergency, like an invasion, for example, like you're not going to need to draft anybody, man.
People are going to run.
Like people were crying if they did not get accepted in the military after Pearl Harbor, right?
And you think if they weren't, if we were getting invaded, like you would have to draft people, they would show up, you know?
Why do you think that this, um, why do you think that during the Spanish flu, which was obviously much more deadly, how come you think that we didn't, they didn't see the same lockdowns then?
I couldn't give you like a, like a logical reason, but I can tell you it's probably because there was less centralized power and less less people who kind of had an interest in locking us down.
And somebody who like he was the only candidate that was like, America's awesome.
We should take pride in it.
And we should think about our constituents before we think about the needs of the rest of the world.
Like, fuck yeah, I'm all for it.
And one thing that disappointed me about him was how I think he got kind of scared during the election cycle that he was like losing the economy.
And that was his strongest arguing point.
And it's like, I really wish that he would have fought harder and come down hard on these governors that like made it so you couldn't, you, you had to have your business closed.
And you see like these bars and these restaurants in New York, for example, that were like getting five thousand dollars.
And I think that he was being accused so aggressively by the left of being not hard enough on the, on the virus that he didn't want to appear like he that, that, like that was true, you know?
So he came down hard, like when he, when he didn't really need to, but I don't know, man, I I'm, I'm still, I've always believed ever since I watched that Eric Weinstein or not Eric, man, I always mix them up Brett Weinstein when he was on Joe Rogan last spring.
And he was talking about the virus.
He's an evolutionary biologist.
He was talking about the virus and how there were markers that indicated that it was probably, you know, there, there was, there was evidence that it was at least in part manipulated in a lab.
And it's like, ever since then, man, I believe that.
And I can't, I don't understand why it's coming out.
I feel like, I feel like they might be using it to kind of get rid of Fauci almost and kind of transition him out of the scene because I feel like when I see Fauci, I. I associate him with everything bad, all the lockdowns, all the mask mandates.
So I feel like now that they got their guy in office, that's why they're kind of opening up the country and they don't really have any use for Fauci anymore.
But it is weird that it's kind of being accepted now a year after everybody on our side with common sense kind of saw that this was manipulated.
I think they need to pay some sort of reparations or something.
But yeah, that is definitely an act of war.
And we, we've got to kind of get rid of the, I feel like the Americans who were maybe in concert with China or just willingly helping them and promoting these narratives.
Yeah, well, especially the WHO is totally bought and paid for in terms of how they reported what was going on with that virus.
Yeah, yeah, totally.
So what do you think about, and I want to be conscientious of your time too, but I just wanted to ask you, like, I struggle a lot when I think about China because like it seems to me, obviously they, they've got like camps with Muslims in them.
They're paying people, I think, I don't know how much like two to $4 a day on average or something like that.
It's something astronomically low, or I can't remember what the rate is, but it's super low what the average income is in China.
And like, what do you think from like an ethical or a legal standpoint about the United States basically like outsourcing slavery?
Because as a country, we should be self-sufficient.
We should be producing all of these items ourselves.
We should be exporting to countries like China, countries like Canada, Mexico.
You know, we need to be putting in this work, but just because it's easier and it's cheaper to do it, that's why we get away with it.
But something's got to be done.
I don't know.
It's just the fact, aside from the fact that like it's bad to support their cheap labor, it's just, it's bad for our morale, you know, when we as an American people rely on everybody else to get stuff done.
You know, if we can't do anything for ourselves, we're never going to really be able to stand up and be truly independent.
I think the greatest threat, probably the media, because the media has control, pretty much of control of information.
And they're able to, I don't want to say brainwash, but maybe hypnotize millions of Americans into believing their narrative.
And I think that power is just so dangerous.
I feel like if less people were in love with the media and were not hypnotized by them, they would be able to think critically and they would think for themselves.
And I just want our nation to be a nation of thinkers because when we think, we think about what's going on right now, we think about the way things could be.
And then that's how action happens.
We start to make action.
We start to innovate.
We start to change the world for the better.
I feel like we're not going to be able to really truly progress until people kind of start turning off the media, thinking for themselves and, you know, just doing it for themselves.
But I also don't, I think the media is a big threat too, because they're pitting American versus American.
It should never be black versus white or male versus female or Jew versus non-Jew or Protestant or Christian.
We're all Americans at the end of the day.
And the fact that so many Americans buy into this division game that the media plays is just so dangerous.
We're not going to be able to survive for long if half the country hates the country that they live and they also hate the other half of the country who loves this place.
I feel like we need to find some common ground and we should be able to find common ground in our identity, our American identity.
That's what should really be, that's what should be like the starting point for people's identities if they live in this country.
They shouldn't say, oh, I'm a black guy or I'm an intersectional transgender non-binary person.
