| It's just they don't care, not in a negative way, uh, but also branding. | ||
| They're gonna see they're gonna see a uh uh a charismatic, slick, well-dressed, you know, healthy looking Gavin Newsom, and it's all branding. | ||
| If they turned Kamala Harris into the, you know, a 50-50 candidate, uh, Gavin Newsome's been around longer for good and for bad, but yeah, no, it it's branding, it's conditioning, and people will vote for blue no matter who. | ||
| It's the old expression. | ||
| This is from the Hill. | ||
| Newsome is becoming an obsession for Democrats beyond California. | ||
| Democrats have become obsessed with Gavin Newsom as the California governor becomes the topic for operatives, donors, and lawmakers. | ||
| Um, with the 2028 presidential election is still more than three years away. | ||
| Newsome is making the kind of name for himself that could lead to front runner status, political operatives say. | ||
| Uh Democrat strategist Jamal Simmons said Newsom's name is coming up more than anyone else's in recent weeks, particularly with people outside the political sphere. | ||
| They asked me two questions. | ||
| Do you think he can win? | ||
| And do you think he can be the guy? | ||
| Simmons said. | ||
| No one ever asked me a single policy question about him. | ||
| So it's very vibes-based. | ||
| Trump, of course, was clowning on him. | ||
| I said that I received in the mail a Trump 2028 hat from one of his biggest supporters. | ||
| These guys are not so warning shot from Trump, but does indicate even even in the White House, they are starting to see Newsom as potentially the front runner for the Democrats, which should be great, I think. | ||
| And Newsom's pretty easy to beat. | ||
| Um, he's just shot up in polling or in uh in prediction that betting market, he's at 35% now. | ||
| Um, so he's just completely crushing the field and the betting side. | ||
| Um, and even in polling, he's he's surging. | ||
| Um, you see here in in red, his polling is completely shot up over the last few weeks. | ||
| Now he's on par with uh with Kamala Harris, who it's unclear if she's gonna run. | ||
| Um look, Newsom might be the guy. | ||
| So I I think we should bring in Viva. | ||
| I think he might have some thoughts on this. | ||
| I think he could break this down further. | ||
| I'm also gonna ask him about the uh the DOJ report that we got. | ||
| Um, I'd be curious to hear his thoughts on that as well. | ||
| So we're getting him in the room here, we're getting them situated. | ||
| Thank you for joining. | ||
| I mean, everyone, everyone's gonna know, uh everyone's gonna know who you are, I would say, but just for people that maybe don't, could you give a quick introduction to who you are and what you do? | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I gotta make sure my hair is in order. | ||
| I didn't realize my makeup person is out today. | ||
| Uh Viva Fry, David Fryheit is my real name for anybody who thought it was Viva, former Montreal litigator or Quebec litigator, now living in Florida. | ||
| Uh legal analysis, commentary, and uh following the madness of the world on a minutely basis. | ||
| Legend, legend, the VFI the legend. | ||
| I'm just glad to be talking to you. | ||
| Uh want to open up with with I was reading a report from the Hill, not a report, a story from the Hill. | ||
| Newsom's really starting to take a decisive front runner um position here and with the Democrats. | ||
| I mean, there was a Democrat strategy Jamal Simmons, he came out and he's saying, Everyone he's talking to is newsome, newsome, newsome. | ||
| And uh you look at the betting market, I mean, he's really just up uh he's uh he's like 20, 30 per uh percentage points ahead of everyone else. | ||
| And then in polling he surged recently. | ||
| I mean, Trump fired off a warning shot this morning. | ||
| I don't know if you saw where he had the the Trump 2028 hat on Newsome, but the fact that he's firing off a warning shot indicates that even within the White House, there's the view emerging that Newsome might be the front runner for 2028. | ||
| I don't know what you're seeing. | ||
| It's astonishing just the caliber of candidates on the left. | ||
| Like you say, if it's not gonna be Newsom, who who else is it gonna be? | ||
| I mean, like I I take even just plausible candidates, it's not gonna be Pritzker, it's not gonna be Whitmer. | ||
| Uh, it's sure as hell isn't gonna be Hokel. | ||
| Uh who's it gonna be AOC? | ||
| Like it's either a Newsom or some people who are even more radical. | ||
| But the the irony, Newsom is is a failure. | ||
| He's an abject failure. | ||
| And so it's nice, you know, he's he's charismatic if you like used car salesmans. | ||
| Uh he's got experience if you like failed politicians. | ||
| And so uh, you know, but but when I was studying philosophy in uh 25 years ago, I took a class called Philosophy of Jazz. | ||
| And they actually we we studied how people get conditioned to like music that's not even good. | ||
| It's basically how everybody likes pop music. | ||
| It's conditioning. | ||
| You see it every day, you get to know it, you become familiar with it, and then you sort of brainwash yourself into thinking you like it. | ||
| That's what they're doing with with Gavin Newsom. | ||
| That's what he's been doing by doing these podcast runs. | ||
| He's clearly got the aspirations going. | ||
| He's adopting Trump tactics on Twitter, but just the irony, he's he's a horrible failed politician. | ||
| I don't know if he's as corrupt to the core as as the others are, but immoral uh and and just an abject failure. | ||
| So let him run. | ||
| The only alternative is someone who hasn't had time to fail in government, like an AOC, although she's had her time to fail as well. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| I mean, the one thing that scares me is 45% of the electorate voted for Kamala Harris. | ||
| So I do think to a degree we underestimate the foolishness of the American electorate. | ||
| Uh, someone like Gavin Newsome, I mean, I like I know the resume's horrible, obviously, but when the media machine kicks in, someone like Gavin Newsom, he can polish things up pretty quickly. | ||
| Americans have short memory. | ||
| It's I I wouldn't even say that they're, you know, the electorate is stupid. | ||
| It's it's they it's tribalism. | ||
| Hopefully, it's getting a little bit better that people have been exposed to it. | ||
| But you know, not everybody lives on the internet like we do. | ||
| Not everybody knows uh Gavin Newsom, forget the affairs, but not everybody knows, you know, Gavin Newsom running on ending homelessness. | ||
| And so, you know, they they just don't know people are living their lives, and they, you know, they see blue, and that's who they vote for. | ||
| And it doesn't matter who it is. | ||
| Uh I I ran uh for the People's Party of Canada in Westbound NDG and in my riding in Canada. | ||
| I I swear to you, if if they didn't see that it was a dog, they would have voted Winston for Prime Minister, uh you know, Winston for the Liberal Party. | ||
| Yeah, uh, because it's just they don't care, not in a negative way, uh, but also branding. | ||
| They're gonna see they're gonna see a uh a charismatic, slick, well-dressed, you know, healthy looking Gavin Newsom, and it's all branding. | ||
| If they turned Kamala Harris into the, you know, a 50-50 candidate, uh, Gavin Newsome's been around longer for good and for bad. | ||
| But yeah, no, it it's branding, it's conditioning, and people will vote for blue no matter who. | ||
| It's the old expression. | ||
| Well, I mean, I'm I because I've been kind of pushing back on the idea that uh a lot of people in the GOP circles are discussing this with Zoran, for example, in New York. | ||
| Um, they're saying maybe we should just let him win because it could be an example to the rest of the country of how crazy the Democrats are. | ||
| But I'm sitting here thinking, I'm like, I think Zoran, if anything, he just he just pushes the overton window within the Democrat Party further to the left and just gives permission for these more moderate people to adopt more radical policies because someone like Zoran can sort of redeem his image quite quickly, especially because I mean he does have a degree of charisma to him. | ||
| I mean, do you think there's any credence to this theory of like, well, maybe you should just let him win to Well so to see if it gets bad enough? | ||
| Uh no. | ||
| I mean, I say you you fight politically tooth and nail um because you give them an inch, they'll start fighting from that point going forward. | ||
| Um what's amazing though, even with with Zoran, is how quickly people who are unfamiliar with his prior statements, that they'll never know about them, but how quickly they can rebrand the guy into being something of a more centrist as opposed to the radical that he is. | ||
| Do you follow Keir Starmer on Twitter by any chance? | ||
| Uh I don't follow him, but I see him too much, unfortunately. | ||
| Well, no, but the amazing thing is like Keir Starmer, literally overnight, and it's fitting that he's British, like out of 1984, flipped his script. | ||
| Oh, yeah. | ||
| He says, now he's now he's anti-immigration, closed borders, uh, you know, you got to speak English. | ||
| This is a man who has been the most radical activist supporting multiculturalism invasion of the UK. | ||
| And overnight he flips the switch where anybody who hadn't been following him from before, it that all gets erased. | ||
| Zoran is almost doing the same thing now. | ||
| And it's the danger of these duplicitist uh socialist progressive, uh, ultimately very duplicitous uh politicians. | ||
| They pretend they didn't say what they said in the past, they get into office, and then they implement that, and then some much like with the uh uh what was it, uh defund the police. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| It was like, oh no, no, nobody's saying that. | ||
| Okay, people are saying that, but it's radical. | ||
| All right, now we accept it. | ||
| Right. | ||
| And so it's gonna be the same thing with with Zoran if he gets into office. | ||
| No, I'm not that much of a radical. | ||
| I just want common sense, uh, you know, uh transit ambassadors, and then a year later, you are literally living in a 1984, everyone is spying on everybody, uh, Orwellian landscape. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| Well, I mean, like you said with Keir Starmer, I mean, you know, he's touting the the wonders of diversity, and he's like, okay, sure, people get stabbed and blown up, but you get kebabs, it's fantastic. | ||
| And then he then all of a sudden, like overnight he flips and he gives this speech where he calls uh the UK an island of strangers. | ||
| I mean, it sounded like a page out of an Enoch Powell speech. | ||
| I mean, it was like, whoa, this is crazy. | ||
| And uh the media over there bought it. | ||
| And you know, you're starting to see Gavin Newsom adopting somewhat of a similar playbook and Zoran. | ||
| No, it's it's is Gavin is ignoring the fact that first of all, I I don't trust the stats coming out of California, period, but you the the demographic stats in terms of who's leaving California versus who's going to California, you You can't falsify those. | ||
| Or at least it's more difficult to crime stats. | ||
| If people stop reporting, uh, they stop convicting, they they can change, you know, Asian to Caucasian and then jack up one stat versus another. | ||
| Um, but he he's an abject failure, a disaster of a governor. | ||
| And I, you know, I think they say between the AOCs who doesn't even have that much of a track record to have been a failure yet versus Gavin Newsom. | ||
| I can see politically, they say, well, we'll take a Gavin Newsom because at least he's got a track record of failure that we will then be able to hammer home. | ||
| But people don't even listen. | ||
| I mean, people are gonna go, Gavin's gonna go do the podcast, he'll go on call her daddy, yeah, and uh they won't talk about his his failures. | ||
| But uh, he's he's he's clearly he's got the the strategy, he's adopting it, and it's it's obviously what he wants because he's a power-hungry uh sociopath. | ||
| And and I say that as an armchair psychiatrist. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Yeah, well, I mean, there was the report in the New York Times was either this morning or last night that the White House is considering offering gigs to Eric Adams and Curtis Sleewa, the GOP candidate, to basically just get him out of the way. | ||
| So that way Andrew Cuomo has a actual has a shot at at dethroning Zoran. | ||
| And uh Jack Pasobic, he he had a speech this morning at at Natcon where he was just saying, look, the thing with Zoran, it's it's one thing just to try and get him out of office, you know, prevent him from holding office, but you're gonna have the same problem in four years. | ||
| He's saying Jack is saying we need to have a conversation of how are people like Zoran even getting created. | ||
| It uh I mean the irony is you're gonna have either a mass murderer, uh, and I consider Cuomo hyperbolically to have been a mass murderer for what he did during COVID, yeah, versus an aspiring mass murderer because that's what socialists and communists are. | ||
| These are the two best candidates. | ||
| I don't like Cuomo, period. | ||
| I'd rather I'd rather see everyone uh put their weight behind Chris uh Chris, Eric Adams. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| Uh, because I I think he's a more uh oddly enough, he his realignment has been more organic. | ||
| It's not like a flip of the switch like Keir Starmer. | ||
| Uh, he's a more reasonable person. | ||
| I would love to see him throw his support to the to the Republicans. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Um and I think there would actually be more. | ||
| I say this, I'm I'm not sure that it's accurate, but I uh because I just can't understand how anybody could support Cuomo, period. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Uh literally a man responsible for 10, 15,000 deaths, then weaponize those deaths to try to blame it on Trump. | ||
| The man should be in jail, not back in office. | ||
| So if it's between Zoran and um Cuomo, I mean it's it's the devil or the devil. | ||
| Pick your power. | ||
| Eric Adams has gotten reasonable. | ||
| So sure, I think he just needs to uh either you know go more independent but align with the right, or you know, go full throated and see what what New Yorkers are are prepared to tolerate, because their options are are bleak with those options. | ||
| Eric Adams is fine because he's clearly just a very simple guy, right? | ||
| Like you see these Zoran and Andrew Cuomo, like there's these total ladder climbers, like cutthroat, they'll say anything to get elected. | ||
| And then Eric Adams is like every time he gives a speech, it's like he has no idea what he's gonna say, and then he's just like floating ideas in real time. | ||
| It's actually kind of refreshing to see someone like that because they don't really exist in politics anymore. | ||
| Well, I I never liked uh Eric Adams plant-based stuff. | ||
| I'm convinced all of that is is more unhealthy than you know the a full carnivore diet. | ||
| But you know, it with Adams, it was it was policy. | ||
| He was sort of on the virtue signaling um uh landscape when it came to immigration, diversity is our strength, yada yada. | ||
| But then the economic realities of the policy sunk in and he appreciated that it's nice to want to do good, but you have to be able to support your own children before you can have more. | ||
| Um he's come around on his policies, and I think he would actually be uh of the three, obviously the best. | ||
| Who's the guy with the Barette um? | ||
| Curtis Lewa. | ||
| I don't know enough about him, but I do know that I think people are right about you know who am I to judge someone for what they look like. | ||
| Um no, Eric Adams has come around in an organic way, and I think he would be the best leader. | ||
| So I don't know how to make it happen. | ||
| But people who are voting for Zoran, they're the same people who were voting for Justin Trudeau in 2015, right? | ||
| And split I voted for Trudeau in 2015, not because I liked anything about him, but you know, first of all, I knew nothing. | ||
| You you you only are paying attention to 30 seconds you know commercials you see on the uh on TV at the time. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| And uh you you if you don't know um even what to look for, you're not gonna know anything. | ||
| And so it they're young, they're uh idealists, and they see in Zoran a young newly arrived immigrant, or at least you know and and then they're they're gonna feel good voting for him, even though they have no idea what policies he's exposing and how it's actually gonna destroy New York, right? | ||
| As anybody knows it now. | ||
| Yeah, well, it's interesting that the White House is considering that it shows that the White House, this is this is a different ball game compared to previous GOP administrations because they're not afraid to go on the offense to address these issues that Americans are concerned about. | ||
| I mean, Americans don't want to see our largest city fall into the hands of an insane kind of third world, third worldist Marxist like crazy person. | ||
| And and with the same regard, I would there's a story that the the Daily Wire actually is reporting this morning um where the DOG the DOJ is uh deliberating, potentially just outright banning transgender individuals from from owning guns. | ||
| I don't know if you've seen this story if you're familiar. | ||
| Well, I I was gonna I Twitter's a weird place. | ||
| You don't want people thinking you're taking shots at other people. | ||
| No, no, I I I knew from that headline that all that the DOJ was contemplating was applying mental illness criteria to the um ownership of firearms, and they were going back to the traditional definition of gender dysphoria being a mental illness and whether or not it should be one of the mental illnesses that precludes a citizen from owning a firearm. | ||
| I you know, I I'm following it. | ||
| I I uh in as much as there are disqualifying mental illnesses, you don't want uh, you know, psychotic schizophrenics owning firearms with delusions of reality. | ||
| Look, I you know, you can understand where the argument goes when it comes to what is wasn't as far as I'm concerned, should always be a diagnosable mental disorder of gender dysphoria. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| The argument people are gonna make is they once diagnosed homosexuality as a mental disorder. | ||
| And and and there's a fundamental difference between homosexuality and transgender uh dysphoria, which is homosexuality, you are who you are attracted to, someone who's the same sex. | ||
| There's no there's no separation of reality from body. | ||
| Gender dysphoria fundamentally is a mental illness in the sense that uh someone has a different perspective of what they want to be reality versus what reality actually is. | ||
| And so to compare what might have been at one point diagnosis of mental illness unfairly to that which is objectively a mental illness by any definition of the term, not analogous, and so they can set that argument aside. | ||
| Um, the bigger concern is gonna be this is one big step towards red flag laws, where they're gonna say, okay, if you haven't been diagnosed as transgender, but you have certain sexual gender, you know, predilections, whatever, someone calls in the authorities, say, hey, that guy's transgender, he owns a firearm. | ||
| Or what are they gonna ask you about your gender ideology on um an application? | ||
| It's one thing to go to a doctor, but are they gonna say, do you identify as trans? | ||
| Well, those are exactly questions we don't want people asking right now, period. | ||
| So it's a double-edged sword. | ||
| I see where they're going with it. | ||
| Um but yeah, well, I mean, like someone just crushes the notes of a Michael Jackson song in their car and they just say, Oh, he's trans. | ||
| You know, there's something going on there, and they come after you and take your gun, you know. | ||
| It's it's what it's the it's the issue we had. | ||
| I mean, even with schizophrenia with other men diagnosable mental illnesses that people would say, yeah, you shouldn't own a gun. | ||
| It takes a disgruntled uh ex-wife or something to say he he's he's an undiagnosed crazy person, go get his guns. | ||
| And then lo and behold, you have like Joe Biden type FBI raids where people are getting shot. | ||
| But um it's interesting. | ||
| The administration definitely is bolder in what they will um contemplate as talking points, even if they don't make policy of it. | ||
| I think the underlying issue here is from from the military perspective, they said, look, gender dysphoria is a mental illness, and it might disqualify from certain types of service. | ||
| Well, you know, I I can appreciate where they're going with the extension of this argument, especially in the wake of what we've been seeing now in in the states, and you know, to a to a certain degree also up in Canada, it's just that you know, when when people who uh identify as trans, whatever commit crimes, uh at least in Canada, it it tends not to be with guns quite as much. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But um we're having that, we're having that same problem up in Canada now. | ||
| Yeah, well, you saw you saw yesterday JD Vance visiting JD Vance and his wife, Usha visiting the uh the site of the shooting, you know, the pay their respects and that sort of thing. | ||
| And he had a quote that was quite interesting where he talked about how we need to have a national conversation around some of these, you know, psychological medications that people are taking. | ||
| Um I had Naomi Best on the show Thursday, who's you know, a mental mental health expert, really, and she she broke down sort of the how easy it is to access a lot of these these medications and these sorts of things. | ||
| And you kind of wonder if the DOJ maybe should take a more of a look at that, because I mean, like you see, like you talked about the disassociation that occurs with transgenderism, where you know you're removing sort of your body or you're separated, putting a rift between your body and your mind, your soul, that sort of thing. | ||
| Um a lot of these, a lot of these site psych uh psychiatric drugs do something very similar. | ||
| And huge we've seen a huge ramp up and and uh and prescriptions for these sorts of things. | ||
| Well I mean the admins already heading that way RFK coming out and saying look you you guys want to focus on the guns uh I I think we should talk about the SSRIs. | ||
| It's not an, if anybody who I've never taken them period full stop, because I'm, I'm absolutely neurotic about what it might do. | ||
| When I was a kid and I used to suffer from migraines, a doctor said, well, we'll prescribe you a low, uh, uh, what's it called? | ||
| The things that like a type sedative, like an Ativan type thing. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I said, it's for, uh, it's for a migraine. | ||
| It's like, well, that, you know, it relaxes you, whatever. | ||
| It's like, I don't want to take anything that tinkers with the brain chemistry. | ||
| Um, these SSRIs, there's a reason why on the, on the, uh, side effects, it says, you know, it might increase the risk of suicidal ideations because it, a, it's you're, you're messing with brain chemistry. | ||
| And it's one thing to say, like, they know what it does. | ||
| They don't know what it does, but they know it does certain things. | ||
| Uh, you're messing with brain chemistry. | ||
| Some people who have depressive thoughts don't act on them, uh, because they lack the, uh, motivation for lack of a better word to do it. | ||
| Then they get on these, these medications and they finally have the motivation to do now what they have wanted to do or have been contemplating doing. | ||
| So, you know, it increases the risk of these in a substantial amount of people and the amount of kids that are jacked up on these things. | ||
| And I can tell you this from my own experience now with the public schooling system. | ||
| system it's insane. | ||
| And so it true you know someone who kills someone with a gun necessarily they used a gun but uh what is what is causing this issue now it's it's what's new versus what's not new whether or not guns have gotten more sophisticated guns have always been around and they these shootings didn't exist 50 years ago period. | ||
| SSRIs have not existed for 50 years to the extent that they do now. | ||
| And so you just got to look at where the problem might actually be occurring. | ||
| But the normalization of mental illness in today's society, and not just normalization, but glorification and glamorizing of it, we've literally entered the era of idiocracy where you don't treat mental illness, you affirm mental illness, and that is exactly how you make it exponentially worse. | ||
| And we're seeing the consequences of it everywhere. | ||
| In the States, the left wants to go straight to the gun issue. | ||
| You look up in Canada, we've got a number of very, very prominent, outrageous situations where I don't even think the guy in Quebec was bona fide trans, but a man murders his wife and two kids, says he's trans, and then there's a debate as to whether or not he gets to stay in a woman's facility. | ||
| The other story that just happened up in, I don't know if you heard about this, up in Welland, Ontario, a psychotic individual, sexually assaults a toddler by breaking into the neighbor's house. | ||
| And on his Facebook page, it says, she him. | ||
| And so, you know, I don't think these are bona fide cases of transgenderism. | ||
| I think it's actually psychopaths now exploiting this movement. | ||
| But what we have now is not just a normalization of mental illness, but an absolute glorification of it, where you get people copycatting mental illness because it creates some sort of social protection. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, you're seeing just you're just seeing this general you're seeing this general decline. | ||
| And people people just aren't thinking clearly. | ||
| I mean, J.D. Vance, when he was there laying flowers, is you had a group of, I would say, protesters, I guess, is what you would call these people, just harassing them, saying, you know, oh, do something about this. | ||
| Like, you're a coward, these sorts of things. | ||
| And you see that it's horrific and grim because we're talking about children here. | ||
| And from most of the mainstream left, you know, pundit class and even the politicians is, there's almost an endorsement, a soft endorsement of holding these politicians accountable. | ||
| And it kind of gets back to our conversation of the direction the Democrat Party is heading in. | ||
| And it's like that kind of stuff is not only palatable, but it's like it's emphasized. | ||
| it's emphasized to um sort of behave this way within the Democrat Party. | ||
| Who wouldn't like it? | ||
| I mean who on the uh the end of what they consider to be the oppressed um spectrum of of of the world would not love this where victimhood is the currency normalizing of what would otherwise be things that you'd have to work on and treat and overcome now you don't have to now you get to be celebrated for it. | ||
| And from the political perspective what what is easier for a politician to do than uh you know basically cater to uh the the whims of the electorate without having to you know do anything uh meaningful. | ||
| And watching the RFK hearings this morning, like you have uh this party claiming to support the science when what they're doing is the antithesis of science from in in every respect, but it's it's not just politically palatable to many, it's the easiest way to garner support by just saying it's okay, you're good, and and and uh you know, we'll affirm will affirm you as opposed to the tough love that good parenting requires. | ||
| Right now you have bad parenting in government, which is bad government, not under the Trump admin, which is you know, the tough parent, but that that's that's been the MO of the Democrat Party for the last as long as I've been politically conscious. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| And I mean, that's a great way to put it. | ||
| And you're seeing this tension in the Democrat Party where the guys that know how to win elections, the strategists start just pulling their hair out, saying, okay, we need to moderate. | ||
| We we we have to moderate. | ||
| This has gone too far. | ||
| But the base of the Democrat Party wants more and more. | ||
| They're saying these guys aren't left-wing enough. | ||
| I mean, I even see people nipping at Zoran's heels saying, Oh, you shouldn't concede on like police and that sort of thing. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, you're just seeing this massive rift between strategists and and and the base. | ||
| I mean, well, you you can you can never you can never placate people who want merit without the work. | ||
| I mean, that's the the more you give, the more they're gonna. | ||
| I don't know if avares is the word in in English, it's just gonna be greed, rapaciousness, like the the more you give those who don't deserve it or who haven't earned it, the more they think they're entitled to it, and the more they're gonna demand in the future. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Uh but no, it it's I you know, I'd like to say it's gotten bad enough, we're sort of reached the pinnacle of the insanity. | ||
| I I think when you when you started promoting not just as as normal but as morally required men and women's sports, I think that's when it started turning for a lot of people. | ||
| But, you know, uh as it says like the when you fight corruption, corruption fights back, and the very vocal minority that had hitherto been getting their way simply by being a vocal minority, when they stop getting their way, uh they're gonna get more vocal and uh more radical in their in their tactics. | ||
| And that I think unfortunately is what we're seeing at the political scale, is these these radical minorities getting more radical, more vocal, and uh more violent and more destructive. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean, you see this way the way politics operates because the Anglosphere, I mean, obviously the United States does its own thing. | ||
| They run, they run there, we're vaguely the same culture, but the United States often bucks trends. | ||
| They're very clear right now. | ||
| We have a very right-wing um administration. | ||
| But to a degree, like they do track in certain ways, you do see some commonality. | ||
| And you saw in Canada where it with Trudeau, it was just basically as bad as it could get. | ||
| And all it took was was just stirring up vibes a little bit, an anti-Pierre vibe, who is clearly the competent choice to get Carney through the door. | ||
| I mean, it's like I know Canada is obviously not you know directly comparable to the United States, but it's very there's a lot of similarities, and it's like I I could see a situation in the United States where like, yeah, short-term memory, um, people vote on vibes, and we get a similar situation that you saw in Canada. | ||
| I mean, it's it could very easily happen. | ||
| No, but for sure, and like and incidentally, in any realm of the universe, when you're talking about you know the the lefty radicals getting more violence in any other realm of the universe where on you know July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, the the dude doesn't miss the shot. | ||
| We're in Kamala Harris, Canada 2.0 on steroids. | ||
| Um and it is it is amazing politically, you know, by the by the national zeitgeist, Canada is out there with Australia. | ||
| England seems to be pushing back a little bit now, but I don't I think it either is too little too late or just not enough right now. | ||
| Right. | ||
| Uh America has always been the beacon and it's always been the exception. | ||
| But it's only by an actual miracle that it's where we are, where we are now, because in any other realm of the universe, um that day turns out differently and the history uh goes down the, I mean, goes to hell in a handbasket. | ||
|

|
Yeah. | |
| Um, but no, it what is what is crazy is just Canada is the living example of what happens when state-funded media has no meaningful opposition from what we call alternative media. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| People don't really appreciate it. | ||
| Why Pierre Poilievre lost that election, it's due in large part to his own political cowardice. | ||
| Sure. | ||
| But it's it's due also in large part to the monopoly that legacy media has over the minds, the hearts, the souls via the media up in Canada, state-funded media that you know it amplifies or doesn't what it wants to amplify and ignores or suppresses that which it doesn't even want to give breathing air to. | ||
| And that's basically what they did to Pierre Polyev. | ||
| And he didn't do himself any favors, but uh you know, at least in America, there's a vibrant populist movement. | ||
| There's a vibrant popul a vibrant populist base and meaningful alternative media that I dare say is you know has a broader reach than the legacy media. | ||
| You just don't have that in Canada. | ||
| You don't have that in Australia. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yeah. | |
| You don't really have that in the UK. | ||
| And you can see how it very it's very very easy to control and manipulate entire swaths of people when you have basically a monopoly on information. | ||
| Absolutely. | ||
| I mean that you hit the nail on the head there. | ||
| Well Viva, I mean I imagine the majority of people know where to find you but for those who don't who want more where where can people find you? | ||
| Well I made it into a daily mail article because I was mildly critical of the um I was highlighting the the Epstein uh missing minute yesterday which I I need someone to tell me if if the guy in that missing video minute was the guy who was one of the two um prison guards that was sanctioned over their negligence. | ||
| But either way I'm on the internet Viva Fry if you google it you'll find me I'm live on rumble at three o'clock daily that's my time in the time slot. | ||
| Uh Twitter is the Viva Fry because there's some Russian dude who had Viva Fry from way back. | ||
| And uh Viva Barneslaw.locals dot com is our uh locals community and it's one of the best communities out there. | ||
| So those are all my socials. | ||
| Well awesome Mr. Fry thank you so much. | ||
| We'll uh see you next time. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Thank you for having me, sir. | ||
| Well, that was Viva Frye, the legendary Viva Frye. | ||
| So good to have him in there. | ||
| Give us thoughts. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I mean, painting that picture of, you know, where this could go, what avenues the left has to regaining power. | ||
| That's not a prediction. | ||
| That's certainly it's a nightmare, obviously. | ||
| But that's to say is we still are on a razor's edge, right? | ||
| The Trump administration, so much promising things happening. | ||
| Obviously, it is the most right wing administration, certainly of my lifetime and people far older than me's lifetimes. | ||
| But I just want to illustrate how how quickly um like I said earlier you can't underestimate the um the uh incompetence of the American electorate right this is a country that almost half voted for for Kamala Harris so we're we are we still are on a razor's edge we can't take our foot off the gas especially with the midterms coming up you just can't you can't you can't get complacent you always need to be aware of threats and these sorts of things so that's what I was interested so thanks thanks to Viva that was excellent. | ||
| Yeah with that I think we'll wrap up here um I've been your host Tate Brown you can find me on X and Instagram at real Tate Brown. | ||
| We'll see if Tate Thursdays becomes a thing. | ||
| Who knows? | ||
| It's up in the air it's you know there's we'll see what happens but uh with that be here for Timcast IRL tonight at 8 p.m. |
