It's January 21st, 2021, and welcome back to The Spencer Report.
For more than two decades, we operated an unethical Medicare scheme in South Florida.
Main topic, the Biden restoration.
Donald Trump went out with both a whimper and a bang.
And after January 6th, the Trump brand is at the level of dog food.
His once loyal allies are scattering and giving him the cold shoulder.
Joe Biden, on the other hand, is at an all-time high for the time being.
What does his myriad of actions in his first day of office say about his attempts to restore the boring Obama years, or even more boring, the 1990s?
And might Sleepy Joe's failures open up space for a populist revival?
Right.
And things are going to slow down.
Like, the temperature is going to be lowered a little bit.
I think it almost has to.
I mean, I don't know where this can go from here.
When they had the inauguration, there was nothing really going on.
You know, the FBI had said, oh, there's going to be these rallies in all these 50 states, all these armed marches on state capitals.
They had the state capitol here in Montgomery blocked off and everything, expecting that.
I don't think anyone showed up, so it seems like QAnon, we'll talk about it once we get recording, but it seems like the QAnon thing, the balloon popped, and I don't know where we're at right now, but it does seem to have popped, and there's still people who are out there promoting that shit, but it's...
Yeah, it's fading right now.
Okay, so we are recording.
What I usually do is I'll get a lot of footage and then create a podcast out of it and then members will get to hear the whole thing because we usually talk before and after.
What is your...
Hot take on the future of QAnon.
Do you think its bubble has burst, as you said, and these people are crying on live streams and, you know, you think it's over?
Well, I mean, we had speculated about that, you know, how crazy did these people get?
How long does it last?
I mean, everything from what I'm saying is that, you know, people are furious about getting conned like this.
What do you mean it's not real?
I must have checked.
I've eagerly been visiting Vox Day's website every day for at least a week, waiting up to the big reveal at noon.
I can't believe we ever had anything to do with that guy.
Because back in 2015 and 2016, I went on his podcast.
I think I might have had him on mine and it was all like pro-Trump and, you know, I don't know, Gamergate maybe and whatever.
And I mean, I have to say, I really have a very strong antipathy towards people who are either lying con artist or clearly mentally ill.
Like, I just don't want to be around them.
I can't.
I look back at some of these people and I'm like, I don't want to be in the same room with you.
Needless to say, be on the same political team with you.
I mean, what a disaster.
The songs are always there.
I mean, the guy is a fantasy fiction writer.
He was doing the God Emperor thing long past the expiration date.
When everybody else did that kind of tongue-in-cheeky, he was unironically doing it until a few months ago, last time I checked on him.
But I think like me, you don't really...
I mean, you know about, we've talked at length about right-wing populism, and people were like, you know, that's another hot take.
That's a, look at those libtards.
Look at those, and this is what they were saying for two months before the culmination, right?
Yeah.
Oh, God, listen to these libtards, and I think Greg even, you know, hotly tweeted out.
These people will have nothing to do with the future of right-wing populism.
It's like, thank God.
And then this absolute, absolute damn, absolute utter debacle happens.
It just proves in spades everything we've been saying.
I kind of feel like...
Yeah.
Well, I kind of feel like I had some, like, Uncle Vinny who was in the mob, and he had some mob scheme going on, like, you know, behind the scenes, and he wasn't cutting me in on it.
Like, he was always, like, avoiding me or whatever.
And then I was like, hey, man, I want a piece of that.
And then, like, six months later, he's, like, arrested and sent to prison for decades, and I'm like, thank God he cut me out of that shit.
Because I have nothing to do with it.
I mean, that's basically how I feel.
Like, so many of the people who were like, oh, we blame Richard Spencer for everything.
He created everything wrong, blah, blah, blah.
You know, it's like, thank God.
I mean, I would not have involved myself in that nonsense anyway due to principles and ideological reasons.
But putting that aside, I mean...
Thank God I have no association with those people.
Yeah, I mean, I'm sure we're on the Joe Biden domestic extremism listening watch, but I mean, they know.
I mean, that stuff had always been bad, but it was like a light switch flipped after the election.
And it got so bad to where we were like, oh my God, can you believe these retards?
These grifters.
Well, these just weird interpretations of reality.
Like, everything's a deepfake and, like, just bizarre over-analysis of symbol and things like that.
I mean, I say this as a...
It's like Kabbalah.
It's like Kabbalah stuff.
I mean, I say this as a Mark Brahman devotee.
I mean, but you have to...
There must be a logic and symbol to it.
You can't just go...
I mean, you could watch any movie and just...
Turn it into some Kabbalistic, bizarre, like, satanic thing.
I mean, you can do, you know, it's this over-interpretation of everything and just this, like, disconnect from reality where it's almost like they do live in some kind of...
It's a platonic realm where it's like everything you see is a lie.
It's like the true things are behind it.
Joe Biden is Sleepy Joe.
He's Sleeper Joe.
In fact, Trump is still in charge.
But Joe Biden is fulfilling Trump's destiny.
It's just this unwinding of this stuff to a point where these people who, again, I was friendly with.
Four years ago, I look at this and you can't come back from that.
I mean, again, go your merry way.
You can go and grift and do whatever you want.
Go for it.
But just speaking personally, I could never have anything to do with someone who strikes me as either a con artist or mentally ill.
I just have to be honest.
I've run away.
I think we did that podcast along MAGA, and we sat here and we discussed all this stuff before it happened.
I mean, let's just go down the list.
Okay, conspiratards and how they absolutely repulse anyone who's sane.
Then you have the people who just, you know, I'm going to live in my own fantasy world.
I literally had someone come in my comments today and was like, you're a faggot for living in reality.
I just wanted to screenshot that out.
Like I had it blown up and put it hung in a picture frame, right?
I mean, that's exactly the sort of attitude.
Then you have the grifters who prey on all the people who, you know, they're so afraid of black pills that they just can't accept reality.
They want to listen to people who's going to tell them, here, that's how Nick got so big, just like all the other.
MAGA influencer morons.
The whole act was...
And then, of course, trust Trump, which they did right down until the end, which flew in the face of the evidence of all five years.
It was from the beginning when he ran in office until his whole presidency, to even after the election, that you couldn't trust this guy.
And, I mean, it was...
All of it was there.
And then they get used as fall men.
I mean, I don't think Vox Day will suffer any consequences.
He'll just be remembered as a bizarre, you know, conspiracy theorist.
But yeah, I mean, clearly the Groypers are going to suffer serious legal consequences.
And I think, I mean, to offer a little bit of a defense, I think in many ways they will be fall men for this stuff.
I mean, all of those people who created the Capitol are fall men.
And I think the people who were kind of quote-unquote organizing them and leading them and celebrating them and so on, I think they will be fall men too.
I mean, yeah.
We've already seen how Giuliani and I think Rahim Kassam and some people in Bannon's orbit.
Bannon got a pardon, by the way.
Yeah.
He was the only one of them who did.
I think the pardons went to Lil Wayne and Kodak Black and Kwame Kilpatrick, the former mayor of Detroit who I hadn't heard of.
And just a collection of just vile scam artists.
Yeah, of Jewish scam artists.
I think Janine Pirro's husband was another one.
And all these people were counting on Trump.
Donald Trump, we literally risked our lives for you.
And you can't even acknowledge us.
And you go pardon Kodak Black and Kwame Kilpatrick.
They still thank him.
They still thank him.
That's another thing.
That's another thing.
I mean, what was our critique of Trump?
The main one, he's a narcissist, right?
All he cares about is himself.
So the idea of doing anything selfless or anything...
For anyone, our cause is just completely foreign.
So he didn't pardon Julian Assange and Snowden like so many people were encouraging him to do, because Mitch McConnell said, "Oh, if you do that, Trump will convict you in the Senate.
You don't want to cross us, Trump," because they know he's a narcissist.
They know he only thinks of himself, and they relied on that successfully.
Yeah.
I want to do two things.
I would want to mention this.
I have mixed feelings towards Trump supporters in general.
I do have a mixed feeling of...
Sympathy in some cases for a lot of people who get duped who are kind of simpler people.
And yeah, I mean, sympathy does involve kind of looking down on people, I guess.
I think there's some people who kind of have maybe, who have good instincts, but maybe not enough of a critical faculty.
And, you know, they can be criticized, but certainly not condemned or whatever.
I really have contempt for this.
There's this kind of, like, gaggle of people, like, I guess Dave Rubin is maybe the most famous who's kind of part of this, but Tim Pool, Cassandra Fairbanks, and all of these people, like, praising, like, they've never left 2016.
And so they're, like, praising Trump as the anti-war candidate.
And, oh, Trump is going to overturn the establishment by pardoning Assange.
There was never, I mean...
There was never any chance he was going to ever do that.
And it's like, oh, Trump kept us out of all these wars, all these hypothetical wars that were about to be started, that Trump is the anti-war candidate.
It's absurd.
He reshuffled military units in existing...
He was variously praised by important neoconservative people, including John Bolton, who of course ended up condemning him, but variously praising him, using him.
He brought us much closer to war with Iran than Joe Biden ever will.
This is another thing I hear from Twitter.
Oh, Joe Biden's going to get us into a war with Iran.
I'll make a bet with you on that at any point.
Yes, I think both...
Both sides are terrible.
Both sides are neoliberal and neoconservative.
Yeah, granted, we know that.
But in terms of just like some degree of rationality being brought into...
The matter.
I mean, the liberals are going to do that.
They might very well reenter the Iran nuclear deal.
They're not going to bring us very, very close to a hot war with Iran.
I mean, just this fantasy from 2016 that Trump is some anti-war person.
I mean, he said some great things.
I think his gut might actually be sound.
In many ways.
But in terms of what he actually did, he's been terrible.
I mean, he has no vision.
He's not changed any paradigm.
Go ahead.
Chances are, I mean, chances, I mean, we'll never know what Trump's season two would have been.
But chances, it's a better chance that we avoided a war with Iran.
Then, of course, Sheldon Allison croaked.
It's somewhere right in the mix of all this.
He got all that money from Sheldon, but I think it's not going to change because his wife was the one who was handing out all the stuff from his fortune.
He makes a million a minute in those casinos.
Getting back in the Iran deal, my plan for the Biden administration is not announced on Twitter.
Is I would, you know, identify the good and praise the good and identify the bad.
Yeah.
There's a lot of bad.
There's going to be bad.
There's going to be a lot of muh.
There's going to be a lot of muh.
I think that's, you know.
Today was a muh day.
Yeah.
And there's also just like terrible things that are happening regardless of the president.
Like, you're not going to end wokeism by electing Donald Trump.
I mean, wokeism, if anything, it's going to actually lessen a little bit.
Because wokeism was this way of owning the conservatives.
I mean, they were pushing a lot of these things for those types of reasons.
And I'm not going to blame...
Biden for, like, wokeism when he doesn't himself even understand it and is just kind of nodding and grinning as basically the lunatics bring up their transsexuality.
The wokeism stuff is, like, extremely, like, pronounced and everything.
Like, I was looking, they were talking about the disease, they were talking about, today was COVID day, right?
So they had...
After the big executive, well, we're going to destroy Trump's legacy.
We're going to rejoin the World Health Organization.
I was like, okay, who cares?
All they do is give advice.
Big deal.
It's pure performance art.
It was performance art when he left.
It was performance art when they get back in.
It's a, oh, we really own Trump.
But yeah, today was COVID day.
He issued 10 executive orders.
I wrote something about that this evening.
I skimmed through it, I looked through it, and it was basically like, we're going to mobilize FEMA to do community vaccination centers.
And put everyone into concentration camps.
Yeah, but what it ultimately amounted to is like, we're going to ask nicely for people to wear masks.
And we're going to try to get the vaccine out as fast as possible through pharmacies and through these distribution centers.
That was it.
He's like, okay, you're telling me the National Guard isn't going to show up at my house and drag me out of my house and pull my pants down and inject the vaccine right in my ass and I have to have a COVID vaccine passport?
It turns you into a gay frog.
It turns you into a gay frog.
We're also going to have a lot of these guys, I think Morgoth is one.
We've been having some more exchanges through Twitter, but we're having some kind of national lockdown in the UK, right?
The word lockdown didn't even...
I'll look through Joe Biden's COVID plan.
There's not going to be any kind of federal lockdown.
And nothing's really changing.
And I think Joe Biden will benefit from this because I have heard some reports on the Trump administration stumbled with the vaccine or something.
I'll give that some credence.
I mean, that might be true.
It's obviously a very difficult task.
You know, a huge amount of logistics, and then you have a huge amount of people who are anti-vaxxers.
It's just a very difficult task.
But I do think that Biden will benefit from this, just purely due to timing.
Because this, you know, COVID is a real thing, but it's also going to go away.
I mean, even before the germ theory of disease, people would separate and do some things that were totally counter-effective or not effective at all, and then they would do some things that were actually good.
I mean, these pandemics do come in waves, and they go away.
I mean, I do think that...
Maybe by August or September, we might even be thinking a little bit about normal.
I mean, I don't think anything will ever go back to the way it was, but I do think that this will end.
I mean, I'm not like a COVID doomsayer, but that's going to be after half a million deaths, at least.
Yeah, we'll have half a million deaths next month.
Half a million deaths next month, probably like another, if I had to guess, I think it'll get up to like...
Around 600,000, maybe.
Once we get to March, it'll start tapering, kind of coming down some, I think.
Because weather does affect things.
Trump was an idiot for saying that, but there's a flu season.
Not just that, but also more and more and more people will be getting the vaccine and more and more people will be infected.
What's going to happen is going to be like any other virus.
It's going to burn itself out.
And it'll take a bunch of people like it has been doing.
It's really been accelerating the last – since the election, I think the death toll has over doubled.
Most people have died in the last – in fact, I want to say 100,000 people died last month, and the focus is on the capital siege.
100,000 people die, and no one even cares.
And one police officer dies, and a fat woman gets trampled.
And that's the end of the world.
We need a domestic terrorist attack.
Well, yeah, but that's human nature.
I mean, it was spectacular and symbolic, and you can't really blame people.
So what did you think?
Let me add quick into this hot take in here.
So we're obviously engaging in speculation.
So don't...
Get too mad at me if I'm wrong about this.
But I will go out into a limb and say that, I mean, this is a crazy, this is an outlandish take.
I will go out onto a limb and say that QAnon is not going away.
That QAnon will weirdly benefit from Trump's loss.
That it will be institutionalized and literally become a religion.
You don't think there'll be a zine?
Well, it was never based on facts.
So why should we expect it to...
Die by facts.
Like, you live by the sword, die by the sword.
It was based on faith.
It was based on faith, therefore it's not going away.
That's my argument.
And it was always deeply entwined with Christianity and a kind of post-Christianity.
You know, it wasn't...
Post-Christianity.
It was doctrinal in a new way.
It wasn't biblical.
I mean, it was kind of structured biblically, you could say.
But it wasn't like direct...
It wasn't...
Christian and the way that we understand that, like a recognizable religion.
I'm a, you know, you're a Presbyterian, he's a Catholic, so on.
But it was deeply Christian, deeply based on faith.
It offers a, I mean, as goofy as it is, it offers a kind of coherent worldview.
And it is aspirational.
And Christianity itself never, you know, it succeeded by...
In a way, failing.
I mean, Jesus Christ is a Messiah.
I mean, Messiah is a warlord at some level.
I mean, it is someone who will free Jews from oppression.
I mean, it's also, in Isaiah, the Messiah is also someone where the lion will lie down at the lamb and led by a child and so on.
So there were deeply Christian, as we know it now, kind of elements in the Old Testament.
You know, Jesus was crucified, and that idea of, like, a kingdom will come.
Like, at one day, like, Trump will return, and the patriots will be proven right, and so on.
I mean, I know this, maybe this even kind of is a little bit edgy towards you, and that's not how it's meant.
I'm trying to look at this rationally and objectively, but I don't think...
I am in the camp of QAnon is not going away, and it will become a recognizable religion and maybe even institutionalized.
I think maybe we just can't see that forehead.
I mean, we talked about how this right-wing populist stuff is just constantly evolving.
So, I mean, we don't – I mean, the question was always what was going to be – after Trump is gone, what becomes of MAGA, what becomes of QAnon, what becomes of America First?
Does all that get shattered and reassembled into something new that just hasn't materialized yet?
I think it is getting shattered.
I mean, Trump's approval rating cratered.
I mean, and it remarkably cratered in the era of polarization because, you know, earlier presidents like George Herbert Walker Bush would go from like 90 to 30 or some huge swing.
But that was when there was a more unified country and there was kind of churn in voting.
You know, people would...
Oh, I'll vote for a Democrat this year, or I'll split my ticket, or I like this guy, I'll vote for him.
Now we're hyper-polarized, and that leads to a certain stability where there's 40% of the country would never vote for Barack Obama if their life depended upon it.
And even within that context, he cratered, and down to close to George W. Bush levels at the end of his term.
It's even more remarkable.
I mean, I do think that, again, I was kind of saying earlier on, I was like, I don't think Trump is going away.
I think he's going to do this.
I'm kind of changing my mind as I see things going.
And I think Trump might very well be done.
And I think there's going to be a kind of reset with conservatism.
I mean, you kind of see it now.
They're already talking about big government.
You know, socialism and blah, blah, blah.
Yeah, turning point.
Turning point's doing their thing.
Yeah.
What was I going to say?
So, yeah, so, like, I think I've tweeted out something, you know, the other day.
I said, like, weird times are ahead.
Because, you know, Trump's been the center of the universe for five years.
And now, like, he's just this, that old discredited boomer in Mar-a-Lago who, look how he went out, right?
Turns out he didn't have a plan.
He pardoned a bunch of Jewish criminals and black rappers, condemned his own base, got everyone to come to D.C. to risk their lives for him, let them down, let the Democrats be the judge of all these people.
He literally got banned from everything, the whole Internet, and I think he's still getting banned from stuff like banks.
No one even, no major network covered his farewell address.
Like, remember, you know, CNN, even Fox News was like, yeah, we're not putting that on air.
Impeached.
Impeached and awaiting Senate trial.
So, like, it's been a swift...
I mean, they just deleted the guy on Twitter.
And then everything.
And then he got impeached.
Then, you know, everybody, then the great disappointment set in with Q and it just happened so fast.
I mean, like, I mean, since our last, since we last talked, I think.
And he's just fallen so far.
And like I said, Trump has been in the center of the universe.
So, like, the last, what is it, three or four years, everybody's been divided into pro-Trump.
That's okay.
There was a clear pro-Trump camp, and literally the only thing they were about was supporting Trump.
They had no other beliefs at all except promoting Trump.
And then there was us who were just like, I guess, beyond exasperated with him.
He was like a literal black cloud.
It felt like waking up every day.
And just being angry that the Jews have this little black cloud over you and how it's going.
So I feel like I can finally move on from that.
Then we got all the crazy liberals who were just absolutely...
I mean, we thought it was bad in our community, but man, did he ever drive those people insane.
They're having withdrawals from Trump being the center of the universe, although they're kind of ecstatic that Biden is in there.
Although, I mean...
It's just not going to be the same.
I mean, they've LARPed as, you know, the heroic.
They've been thinking themselves as the resistance to literal fascism for four years now.
And literally, he's just voted out.
And he's just banned from everything.
And he just throws his bass into the bus and quips and leaves.
That was it.
That was fascism, right?
And meanwhile, all of Washington, D.C. is.
Turned into a literal police state in order to deal with a bunch of Magatards who just went home.
Where else?
Of course, Q being imploding.
The whole conspiracy theory internet is in turmoil with Alex Jones attacking Q. Alex Jones being on the hook for all this crap.
He was the one who set up that rally.
Just by the day, more and more damaging things keep coming out about the America First movement.
Like how the girl who's wearing the Goyper shirt was accused of going into Pelosi's office and stealing her the laptop.
Riley, no!
I shouldn't laugh.
I do genuinely.
I feel sorry for her.
I just think she was some little girl like she was looking for attention.
That was all I do.
Yeah, and you know, I do genuinely feel sorry.
Her first name is Riley.
I'm forgetting her last name at the moment.
Yeah, I feel sorry for her.
The photo of her kind of says it all.
It's the kind of smart, you know, little smart-looking girl with glasses, kind of nerdy.
Just looking for a nerdy griper guy.
They just completely let her into absolute destruction.
And then attacked her and disavowed her afterwards.
Oh, I didn't even see that.
Yeah, yeah.
Nick threw her under the bus and attacked her, I think.
That's just absurd.
I mean, give me a break.
I hate to sound like I don't know, the SPLC or something.
But if there is a clearer example of radicalization and urging people to do things that are totally against their interest, this is it.
And again, I have no idea who this girl is, but she was from a divorced family.
I read the article on her.
Her parents are divorced, which is, of course, sad.
And her dad kind of took her to this event, and then they got separated.
She was well-known.
Followed the crowd.
Yeah, according to the reporting, she was well-known on all these right-wing forums.
I'm sure they're America First, Nick Fuentes, Groyper forums.
And, you know, I'm sure all these, you know, guys had, you know, the hots for her as well.
You know, like, oh, did you see what Riley?
Riley just beat you first.
Riley's coming.
I'm sure that was said many times.
Or like, Riley's based.
She's awesome.
And then she gets gooped up on America first, stop the steal.
We've got to fight back against the libs.
Trump is going to take over.
Maybe a little QAnon thrown in.
Although I didn't see any evidence from that.
I read about three or four articles on her.
And she basically just...
You know, descends into this Dionysian fury and enters the Capitol with apparently, reportedly, with the intention of stealing a laptop and selling it to the Russians.
So she's now been thrown into, like, we're beyond sedition and we're now into, like, treason and international espionage.
Like, so far beyond, like...
Oh, oh, and then...
That's not even, you know, what she did.
So here's my understanding of it, of the case as it is today.
Because there's just more and more information just keeps coming out about it.
Well, we saw, you know, the Riley story, how Riley showed up and is, you know, accusing him of being the one who stole Pelosi's laptop, or at least that's the allegation.
Right.
Then there was the guy who, I mean, we talked about the first time when we had our first conversation about it, when we were warning Nick, it's like...
You need to shut your mouth.
That guy, the one carrying around the America First flag, burst through the door of Congress being filmed by the New Yorker and sat in my 10th seat and declared Donald Trump the Emperor of the United States.
And then got into a debate about optics while he was being filmed by a journalist from the New Yorker.
And then I just kind of left with the QA non-shaman.
And then I've been seeing even, not only that, but there's even more photos coming out now.
What was this debate on optics?
Remind me of that.
That's what they said.
One of the patriots got into an argument with this guy.
He said that, you're making us look bad.
You're disrespecting the office.
The vice president.
And because this guy, I had served in the Air Force or something.
And he's like, bro, we just broke into Congress.
This isn't a democracy or something like that.
It was in the New York Post.
And it literally says a debate about optics broke out on the floor of Congress.
So just more of this stuff just keeps coming out.
And see, it's not just we thought, okay, well, those are the two that were familiar.
We just learned about the Raleigh incident.
I knew about the guy who literally went all the way in and sat in Mike Pence's seat.
But there were other ones in there, too.
There are photos coming out now of even more Gorfers with America First flags that were in the crowd.
And, of course, Antifa are trying to identify them.
And then they've got video, apparently, of Fuente saying, like, what is he accused of saying?
Oh, that video.
Storm the Capitol.
Like, don't listen to the police.
Break the barricades or something like that.
Yeah, or like, we've now gone into the Capitol.
The vote's delayed.
We did it.
And then that, I mean, that is damning enough.
But then just endorsing it 48 hours later, it's a disaster.
Yeah, and just more and more and more just keeps getting to come out.
And you know they've already picked up, baked, charged in.
And then, of course, they raided Catboy Cammy as well.
Yeah, I saw that.
If they're going after Catboy, who got disavowed by Nick a long time ago.
And then, of course, all the Bitcoin stuff came out.
We found the truth about that, about it being just a French guy who was suicidal and left his estate to everybody.
Found out about that.
He was under investigation by not just the FBI, but apparently the CIA as well, because of international money transfers.
So anyway, needless to say, I don't think the leaders of America first are long for this world.
They're going to...
Man, are they ever going to go down?
No, I mean, there's a YouTube channel that I watch pretty often called Legal Eagle.
I posted it, and I...
We saw that.
Yeah, and the guy is very smart.
I've actually asked lawyers about him, and they're like, oh yeah, he's a smart guy.
He's not, you know...
He's not a penis or anything.
Yeah, but he obviously presents it well, and he's smart and good-looking.
This is serious.
Over the next three to six months, they're going to get grand jury indictments.
So a lot of people think that nothing's going to happen.
Oh, I didn't go into the Capitol, so I'm safe.
Or like, why did they only charge baked Alaska with these kind of local crime?
Yeah, it's a very typical thing, which is that you have probable cause or just overwhelming evidence of a small matter.
You locate the person, you get them in the system, you get it going.
The grand jury process takes time.
They want to get a slam dunk on that.
They want to investigate it.
They want to have a plan for how far the web goes because the web could potentially go really far.
They got Joe Biggs.
Yeah.
Oh, they got Joe Biggs.
The Prod Boy guy?
Yeah, yeah.
I got him.
They put conspiracy charges on the Oath Keepers already.
That's just the beginning.
We'll see how they put that.
You know, draw those lines.
We know, you know, how that is.
And in Charlottesville, they had nothing to go on because, I mean, the plan was, you know, go to a rally, have a speaking event, leave, and go to an afterthought.
That was the whole plan.
This is, like, not like that at all.
They were people who were literally, I mean, we said this at the time, I mean, like, this probably wasn't a spontaneous thing.
I mean, there were people who were actually planning some shit.
Yes.
And like the Legal Eagle guy said, you don't even have to do anything.
I mean, if someone just goes in there and plans you and you participate in it, that's aiding a conspiracy or something.
And they were overlapping circles.
I'm not sure they were concentric circles, but they were overlapping circles.
And what I mean by that is that you had real...
Loons talking about, we're going to break into the Capitol.
We're going to stop the vote.
We're going to take over.
We're going to declare him God Emperor, whatever.
You have those people.
Then you have Giuliani on a voicemail that Giuliani left to Tuberville.
And again, Giuliani has just, I mean, he has lost his marbles.
He was trying to call Tuberville, but he called another senator who just immediately leaked it to The Intercept or something.
And Giuliani just said, the states are going to decertify the vote.
It's coming in.
Just give me a...
One more night to finish my homework.
Just give me some time.
We want you to delay the vote.
So the issue is you have these overlapping circles where it's one thing if there's three goofy guys in Michigan who want to kidnap the governor or whatever.
You could say they were inspired by Fox News or whatever.
But they weren't directly connected to Fox or Trump or whatever.
They pretty much did it on their own.
Here, you have...
I mean, yes, there are differentiations that should be made in the name of justice and fairness, but they were all in it altogether.
At the very top, they wanted to delay Congress.
They wanted to basically...
You know, according to the letter of the law, like prevent the government from functioning, which is sedition.
Then you had other people who, again, by the letter of the law, wanted to engage in a literal rebellion.
And so, like, they were all, not quite concentric circles, you could say, but, like, overlapping circles where you have thousands of people involved in a seditious conspiracy.
I'm sorry, you can say that's not fair or free speech or whatever, but, like, welcome to reality, folks.
Yeah.
I mean, it's not just that.
I mean, there's overlapping ways they're going to get screwed, whether it's the criminal, which will be a lot of the guys, whether it's civil, which, of course, even the guys who aren't getting the criminal are getting hit with civil rights.
And then it's probably the financial.
The people go after people say, oh, you know, you misappropriated funds.
Hell, that's what Banning got pardoned for, which was the – he was accused of stealing money for the private border wall project, right?
I forgot what they got stoned for.
Stone was in there for lying to Mueller.
Stone got a pardon.
Bannon got a pardon.
The little guys, the little fish like Nick Fortes.
You remember the moment he found out?
I was like, what do you mean?
What do you mean?
I'm 22 years old, you're going to scapegoat me?
And they're like, yeah.
Yeah, we're going to scapegoat me.
Yeah, you are being scapegoated.
So, I mean, what's going to happen is those guys are, I mean, it's ineffable.
They're going to go down one way or the other.
The leaders of America, they're going to be taken out.
QAnon is...
Ali became a bit of a household name.
He was on CNN.
Why haven't they found out who Q is?
I mean, that's interesting.
I mean, you would think the guy who's at the center of all this fucking shit.
They would have some kind of interest in finding out who is behind one of the biggest cons and scams in American history, but no one is interested in finding out who...
Huh?
I think Q's an off.
Like, the person who is Q. There's no way you can just promote that in good faith.
Like, I don't know.
Yeah, well, I think that's obvious.
But, I mean, look, my long-term...
The conspiracy theory theory is that Q actually did have Q-level clearance.
So just hear me out.
I say this almost to kind of make a point.
I mean, I don't have any evidence for this.
No, I don't think it's a leftist.
No, because they were too good at it.
They spoke the language of patriotic Christianity too well to be a leftist.
Again, just to be clear here, this is just my intuition.
I don't have evidence for this, but it's based on cui bono.
And I think that, ironically, Q actually does have Q-level clearance, and that he was a person from the deep state.
He was probably a person who was a deeply Republican-oriented person from the deep state.
And as he said, I mean, he pumped up the NSA as, like, full of patriots, and they're fighting back against the evil, you know, Satanists.
And I think he probably had some friends like that.
I think it was an op in the sense that Trump, by 2017, you had Charlottesville, obviously, but you also had a kind of, like, I don't know, the expectations for Trump were failing.
Like, the wall wasn't getting moving.
It was struggling.
He had signed that big omnibus package where he had funded all this nonsense and not really changed government or dismantled the administrative state or whatever.
Steve Bannon was boasting about at CPAC in 2017.
So the wall wasn't coming.
He had just done a missile strike on Syria, but then pulled off.
There was just a lot of confusion and ambiguity.
And I think it was in part an attempt to replace the alt-right, which at least when I am the figurehead and kind of person speaking for it, is going to be independent and is going to push back on Trump.
And is going to try to move beyond Trump.
And they wanted to nip that in the bud, and they wanted to create this thing that was like, don't believe your lying eyes.
Trump is doing all this behind the scenes.
And they wanted to kind of access a group of people that pre-existed Trump, the kind of MAGA Tea Party patriot crowd, which existed long before Trump came on the scene.
This is just, again, my gut instinct.
I think it actually was a deliberate op.
Now, it might very well have been a troll that blew up in a way that you could never imagine.
You know, it's like some of those normies will sometimes tweet something.
And it goes here, it goes there.
And next thing you know, it has like 80,000 retweets or something.
And they're like, what happened?
I had 300 followers.
These things can weirdly happen.
It can go viral.
It's like an evolutionary process of like it just ticks the right boxes.
And you become, I don't know, you maybe become a millionaire or have 15 minutes of fame or whatever.
But I think it was a deliberate op, and at the very least, it was cultivated at some point.
Well, we know who started it originally.
It was Microchip who started it way back in the day.
It was Micro.
Who did that first post in 2017 that Hillary's going to be arrested immediately.
Or all that stuff.
Yeah, Micro used to talk about it on Gab all the time.
He was behind that.
Then other grifters came along and I don't know, I kind of lost track of it because I was never...
It's like, you know Alex Jones is out there saying crap, but are you really going to go there and consume that content?
You don't really pay attention to it, you just kind of are aware of it.
He's tripling down.
One thing we really need to talk about is...
We've talked a lot more about Trump.
We're kind of putting the bookend on Trump here.
But this is the Joe era now.
We're on day two of the Joe era.
What do you think?
I think it's going to be four years of meh.
I think there's some interesting things that are worth talking about with Joe.
First off, I put out these tweets, and I said this on podcasts as well, that I thought that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris would lock up more members of Antifa than Donald Trump.
And this was, again, oh, Spencer being a contrarian, whatever.
Hot take express here.
I think I've been proven right on day one.
Antifa is still around.
Those tensions are still there.
There still is a radical left.
You saw what they did last night.
I even glanced at Jacob and Mag this morning and they were talking about how they were going to resist Joe.
I saw that last night and I woke up this morning and I wrote this article.
Insurrectionist attack.
Democratic.
So they literally attacked the headquarters of the Democratic Party in Oregon and broke all the windows and spray-painted and rioted in Portland and Seattle last night.
And were going around saying, F Joe Biden.
Yeah.
It's his problem now, and he's going to crack down on it.
Because as you pointed out many times...
Yeah, you pointed this out many times correctly, which is that at some point with Donald Trump...
Yes, the governors are resisting him and the mayors.
But at some point, Donald Trump recognized that he benefited from the chaos.
Not necessarily with people who lived through the chaos, but in the way that the chaos was broadcast on Fox, on social media.
And so you could be in rural Minnesota and be worrying about Antifa coming to your house.
He benefited from it, and he was not politically incentivized to do anything about it.
Well, Joe Biden is politically incentivized to do things about it.
And if you look at Joe Biden's career, I mean, it is about, like, locking up, unfairly locking up blacks for drug violations.
Kamala Harris is a district attorney.
I mean, she gave a speech to the Cook County.
Like, she gave a TED Talk that wasn't exactly a TED Talk to the Cook County, like, Democrats or whatever.
And she basically said...
Build more jails, not more schools.
I mean, she does not have her heart in violent, chaotic revolution.
She's a woke leftist feminist.
Of course she is.
But she is going to lock him up.
It is his problem now.
He's going to deal with it.
How far this will go is an interesting question.
How radical are they?
Is Antifa going to disband to go home and wait out for the next Republican president and the re-rise of the alt-right or whatever?
Are they going to do that?
Now that they've formed a community and all these networks and quasi-organizations, are they now going to be like, all right, now it's our time to go after Joe Biden.
We actually want to abolish the police.
We actually want to take down the system.
I don't know.
I think it's a big question.
It's an interesting question.
You see all the incentives there.
Okay, number one.
Okay, Blump is gone, right?
So Joe Biden, one of my biggest hot takes is that on day one, Joe Biden, he won 81 million votes as not Trump.
Well, when he was inaugurated, not Trump became, it was revealed as Joe Biden.
Yeah.
That 81 million votes is because Trump was the leader of fascist America.
He was literally Hitler and everything.
Everything was super inflamed and people were just willing to do anything to get rid of the orange lightning rod.
Like I said, now this person not Trump is gone.
And the president is just Joe Biden, the guy who lost Iowa, lost New Hampshire, was lost Nevada, was written off as dead until Jim Clyburn orchestrated that tear with the black vote.
Multiple failed presidential campaigns.
So, I mean, you can see the incentives.
So, number one, Joe's greatest ally, Trump, is out of the picture now, at least for now.
And so he's got to somehow find out, what am I going to do now that I can't be not Trump?
So there's that looming reality.
Because he won because white men voted for him.
We've been over that at length.
That was an unlikely occurrence, to say the least.
You've got to look at all the incentives.
Okay, number one, they lost House seats in the 2020 election.
The House majority narrowed after all that violence and chaos.
A lot of the moderate Democrats who were up for – you see, midterms are usually supposed to be shellacking for the party that's in power.
So the expectations are that Democrats will lose seats.
Not only that – okay, so you've got all these moderate Democrats who are – Extremely concerned, who blame the radicals for losing so many seats in 2020.
They're expecting a Republican backlash election.
Also, you've got redistricting, right?
So, like, all these states are drawing congressional districts, and that's going to hurt the Democrats because of the situation in the state legislature.
So, add on that.
And then, of course, the Senate is 50-50, like a razor-hair thing, and it comes down to Joe Manchin and the cinema from Arizona.
So needless to say, the congressional majority is on the line.
Can they afford to have Antifa causing chaos for two years?
Probably not.
No, so reason would dictate that they're going to...
I mean we saw today Twitter started wiping some of them out for change.
That's kind of – for embarrassing Joe on day one like that, which anyone could see coming.
But of course Antifa, they can say, well, oh, well, we're not for the Democratic Party.
We're against capitalism.
We're against authoritarianism.
We're against neoliberal authoritarianism is what they'll say because everything is just authority to them.
Yeah.
I mean, Joe literally has a police state.
Or they're talking about literally building one.
Yeah.
So, I mean, the ton of bricks is just – and then the Republicans are just going to – I mean, they can say, okay, you're accusing the QAnon shaman of being an insurrectionist, and then you've got these guys literally attacking your headquarters.
Screw up the narrative like that.
So we've got that.
What their fate will be is going to be interesting to develop.
Of course, every time any party comes in power, they throw out the red meat to the base with executive orders.
Trump did the same thing in 2017.
The so-called Muslim ban, which was a joke, which ended up banning...
People from North Korea, Venezuela, Chad at one point, Iran, Muslims, yeah.
They reverse.
Joe has issued so far, I think, 27 executive orders.
Ten of that is just COVID stuff, which is just like...
You know, we're going to expedite getting the vaccine to pharmacies.
We're going to have the Defense Production Act, I guess, make masks for people, although, you know, they're pretty available.
There's really no mask shortage.
They're going to make people wear masks on federal property.
Like, okay, big deal.
Who cares?
They're going to make people wear masks on planes and buses and trains that are interstate commerce.
Stuff like that.
They rejoin the World Health Organization.
Then there's all this other stuff.
And the way they're framing it, they're saying that, okay, that Joe's coming in, he's going to tackle these four crises.
The first crisis is the climate crisis.
The second is racial justice.
The third is COVID.
And the fourth is economic.
That's what they're rolling with.
What they've done is, like I said, on immigration, they've already sent the demand for total amnesty for all illegal aliens in the United States with no enforcement measures, by the way.
Did they do all illegal immigrants or did they do DACA, Dreamers?
That's two different things.
DACA, I want to say, It went to the Supreme Court last summer, and they made them like Trump reinstituted, right?
Or it was still in legal limbo.
Well, Joe reauthorized, I think, DACA.
So DACA is officially still alive.
They suspended building of the Trump fence.
You know, it was just basically a George W. Bush replacement fence.
It really wasn't making much of a difference.
There was another executive order on interior enforcement immigration, which had broadened the categories of people who were subject to arrest.
And then, of course, today the DHS announced that they were actually going to do the The not arresting certain classes, not arresting and deporting certain classes of aliens for 100 days.
So they're throwing out some pretty not moderate stuff.
They're doing hardcore on immigration.
Of course, what's another thing?
The racial justice thing.
So you know how Trump did the critical theory executive order?
Yes.
That had got struck down recently by a federal court, I want to say.
But Joe, like, issued another executive order saying, like, bring it back.
Or bring back diversity and inclusion training.
And then, of course, there's also, they also issued something on, like, transgenderism, which is, you know, the transgender locker room issue.
They're like, well, that's complex, too, because what happened was the Supreme Court this summer ruled in the Bostock decision that transgenderism and stuff like that is covered by the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
That was Neil Gorsuch who was responsible for that.
And the Biden administration is interpreting that to be like, okay, well, this requires any transgender person to be able to use the...
Locker room of their choice in any federally funded institution is what I want to say.
So, like, right out of the gate, and then, of course, they did the, and then, of course, on the climate issue, rejoined the Paris Climate Accord, which we always knew they were going to do, shut down the Keystone XL pipeline, I think suspended oil drilling in Anwar.
And are doing some pretty radical environmental stuff.
Well, okay.
It's liberal stuff.
It's liberal stuff.
Yeah, I mean, to go through these, I mean, rejoining Paris, again, we were already in that.
That's just returning to the status quo antebellum.
Yeah, don't care.
The DACA thing, keep in mind that, I mean, and this is a complex issue that I need to write my piece on it.
I actually have this huge piece, Jenning, on the conservative movement and QAnon and January 6th, but I need to do this one next.
I'm kind of past, I'll never blog again.
Every piece I'm going to do is going to be...
10,000 words.
You're welcome.
Get ready for it, guys.
But it's a complicated issue because Trump was always offering DACA.
I mean, Trump was always incoherent.
So like with the children in cages meme from, you know, two or three summers ago, Trump would both say like, this was a Jeff Sessions thing, but he would like blame it on Obama and just say, oh, it's terrible.
It was this weird, just incoherent sadomasochism.
And very similar with DACA.
So he said great things about DACA, aspirational things about DACA in 2016.
He would say, Americans have dreams too.
We should look out for them.
But DACA was always a peace.
That he was willing to trade.
And so in 2017, when the Rays Act was first admitted, and in the 2018 State of the Union address, he said in the 2018 State of the Union address, I am offering a big DACA, and I think it was like $12 million, or $4 million.
I can't remember the exact number.
But it was a big, expansive interpretation of DACA.
And he was offering that for the end to family reunification as the paradigm.
For immigration reform.
And so he was, I mean, DACA, I just feel, is, like, just done.
Like, it was already used as a pawn.
It's become this, like, you know, what's the reverse of that noir?
It's become this, like, bobble of liberals.
They're not deporting these people anyway.
Right.
And they're not doing it anyway.
They're here.
Right.
Exactly.
So I think that what he's doing is liberal.
The transgender thing, this has been going on.
This has been a hot thing for five years.
It's going forward.
Trump would tweet out that no tranny is in the military or whatever, but that was just tweets.
This thing is going forward.
I think there's certain ironies that it's going to destroy female sports, which is kind of funny.
But that thing is kind of like...
That's just like a separate issue.
Real quick, I think he's basically being a liberal.
We are going back to status quo antebellum.
I think I would say he's doing radical stuff if he was doing something that's unthinkable, like rooting on Antifa or actually defunding the police, which you're not going to do.
And then I think also the issue with immigration, as I stress over and over, is a legislative paradigm change.
The paradigm since 1965 has been family reunification.
And at least in the last 25 years, we've basically roughly had a million a year.
Trump never did anything to that.
Now, immigration came to a screeching halt with COVID, but he does not deserve credit for that.
Trump was doing some, or at least Stephen Miller was doing some behind-the-scenes stuff with executive actions on refugees and so on.
Okay, fine, but all of those things are going to be overturned tomorrow morning.
But I don't think Joe is going to do legislative action on immigration.
I mean, he might, but to really change the million-a-year family reunification paradigm, is he going to actually change that?
I don't think he will.
Go ahead.
Here's what they're doing.
Here's what they're doing on immigration.
Well, of course, a lot of this stuff, the Trump executive order stuff was always like Band-Aids.
As soon as he left office, the Band-Aids and the Democrats came back to power.
Any of the temporary Band-Aids were always going to be cast off.
And he didn't even really do a good job.
Do a good job with that.
Well, people say, oh, well, you cut legal immigration in half.
I don't know.
That's nonsense.
That has been totally debunked.
What was I going to say?
The shot with the comprehensive immigration reform is that this round is different.
They've been talking about comprehensive immigration reform for 20 years.
At least 15 years.
And every time they do it, they'll be like, okay, we got all this – we'll have this virtual fence.
We're promising you all this enforcement crap, right?
Well, this time it's like just a straight-up amnesty.
There's not even a fig leaf of enforcement, right?
You might ask, well, how is it possible for them to pass – What they want to do with 51 votes, right?
Because as long as, okay, they're sending a bill to, they're going to pass the, of course it'll pass the House.
And it'll even be controversial in the House because some Democrats might vote against it, but that raises the majority.
And they're going to send this bill over to the Senate that doesn't even have a fig leaf of enforcement.
When they passed the Senate last time, there were...
52 Democrats and two independents that affiliated with it.
They had 54 votes.
They also had Marco Rubio.
It was a different time before Trump.
And that was when it passed the Senate, it had the fig leaf of enforcement.
Well, it comes out today like, okay, they can't even find in the Senate one Republican vote for this.
Right?
So literally the only way, the only possible way they could ever pass Okay, this is the big thing that people are scared about.
The only way they can possibly pass that is if they get rid of the filibuster.
There's absolutely no other way with 50 votes and Kamala Harris tie-breaking to pass that without getting rid of the filibuster.
Now, of course, I was under the impression that, okay, well, number one, like Joe Manchin and Sinema have said that they're not going to get rid of the filibuster.
So they don't have the votes to get rid of it.
There's been some kind of negotiations going on between McConnell and Schumer over the filibuster, and the latest is that the Democrats are not committed to keeping the filibuster.
They might try to get rid of it, which, if they could get Sinema and Manchin on board, then they could do all this.
The chances of that happening are extremely unlikely.
From what I took of it, they're just using that as a threat.
Like, oh, we'll get rid of the filibuster if you're not reasonable on our agenda.
They're not really planning to get rid of it.
But that's the major concern.
And then, of course, the whole big issue is you look at the stuff Joe has done, and a lot of it is throwing out red meat to all these boutique Progressive, the trans thing, right?
No one, I mean, okay.
Did you know they extended the Liberian amnesty?
Who cares about that?
Day one, we're extending the Liberian amnesty.
We're suspending construction of the border wall.
There's a lot of stuff they've put out there that's like maybe 10% of the public says it should be at the top of the agenda.
The big thing...
Of course, which everyone is expecting to happen, is they're going to get this stimulus package passed in March.
It's going to have the $1,400.
You've seen it.
They're like, well, we might have the bill ready by March in a month and a half.
We also might have to do Trump's impeachment trial in February.
So that can is being kicked down the road.
And the Democrats were saying that they were going to pass.
You know how they used the budget reconciliation trick we've talked about before?
Where they only need a simple majority plus one to pass a big thing like Obamacare, the tax cuts, basically what Trump did and what Obama did.
And the plan was to pass the big stimulus package like that that would include the $2,000 and the $15 minimum wage.
Although now they're saying, now they're backtracking in that.
They're saying, no, we're not going to use budget reconciliation.
We're going to work with the Republicans on that.
So it's like, yeah, you think they're going to go along with that?
$15 minimum wage?
I don't think so.
So a lot of the things that people truly care about, right?
Number one, the money.
And probably number two, healthcare.
Aren't happening.
Yeah, Medicare for all, $2,000 a month, maybe indefinitely.
And also, keep in mind, student loan, give them something.
And then also, remember, Trump won Florida and all the Hispanics voted for him.
Oh, it was conservative Florida.
They also passed a $15 minimum wage.
Yeah, they already got it in Florida.
They passed it.
Yeah, so it's like, this is clearly popular.
Like, your own voters want this, including conservative voters.
Mm-hmm.
Well, I mean, the top, like I said, I mean, I posted this, like, three or four times.
There's a chart out which, you know, shows the public's priorities and then, like, all this other crap.
Like, there's, like, four huge things.
There's, like, distribute the vaccine.
Common sense.
Pass a big COVID relief package.
Common sense.
And restore the economy is like the other thing.
Also common sense, right?
The public has got to be impressed with the common man.
The common man has much better sense.
Any of these politicians knows exactly what the right issues are.
Those are the top three.
And then I think the fourth or fifth one was health care costs.
Also reasonable, right?
But they're not working on that.
They're, you know, talking about all this, oh, trans, they made the topic of discussion transgender locker rooms crap.
It just seems like, like I said, like, like, I was like, I kind of wrote something like yesterday, I was like, you know, I was kind of thrown back about this is like, you know, this is not the right way to start off an administration.
They should completely focus on the stuff that's really popular and build support instead of immediately going with, like, we're going to pass the biggest amnesty ever.
We're going to do the transgender locker room stuff.
It's like, well, let's pull from our package of most unpopular ideas ever conceived in the Democrat Party and go with that.
They somehow screwed up.
Again, it's like...
Start to do the $2,000, do Medicare for All, obviously do the vaccine, do a $15 minimum wage, and you're a hegemonic party for the next 20 years.
But they're too stupid to do that.
I mean, me and you could give them better advice.
Well, I guess we are.
And Republicans too, but yeah.
Who knows who's listening to this?
Yeah, we're the people who are actually trying to tell them, hey, Democrats, here's how you can win.
Yeah.
Soft pedal immigration.
Again, my long-term prediction is that if there is going to be immigration reform, it is going to look like the Rays Act, and it will ironically be implemented by Democrats, much like Obamacare was Romney Care and Heritage Foundation Care before it became socialism or whatever.
But yeah, just soft pedal the immigration thing and just do basic stuff that reaches people where they are and basically maintain that center where you're going to still have hyperpolarization and like Tea Party people and MAGA fans or whatever.
But if you can just maintain that center, you can get 325 electoral votes indefinitely.
And that's how you hegemonically rule the country.
Pretty simple.
Did you see how we started the Huey Long thing?
Oh yes.
Tucker even picked up on it.
I give you direct credit for that.
Because I know for certain...
No one was talking about that.
No one was talking about Huey Long before you brought it up.
I mean, I'm not going to exactly join you in this crusade of yours, but I'm not going to counter-signal you either.
Yeah, well, I mean, I've seen the polls, and there's clearly a Huey Long lane emerging there, right?
Yeah.
You've got all these super-majority issues where, like...
I mean, look how United people were on the $2,000, right?
In Georgia, right?
Huge thing, yeah.
Huge thing.
Something damn obvious.
Imagine if your platform was, like I said, we're going to share the wealth around.
We have all these oligarchs, all these rich guys.
They have too much money and too much power.
Just give it away.
Start draining Jeff Bezos.
Put a drip on that.
Put a drip on that guy.
Give a little dash to all the black guys.
$2,000 a month.
What do you think, man?
Also, in addition to that, we'll build the border wall.
You're right.
It's clearly a common sense way forward.
The other thing is that...
Tucker Carlson, I know for a fact, is aware of all this stuff.
Tucker Carlson clearly was kind of channeling the alt-right.
At one point, he was certainly channeling the America First crowd.
We know his chief writer, the guy who at least claimed that every single thing that came out of Tucker's mouth...
One draft of it was at least written by him.
It was this Dartmouth grad and kind of griper type.
I actually noticed when he was unmasked, I looked him up and I learned that he blocked me.
He was following you, he blocked me.
He blocked me originally and then he came back.
I think he got banned and he came back and he was following me.
On my last account, I don't know if it's my new one, but we started the Huey Long thing.
I was sharing the polls, and there was this poll that came out two or three days ago, right?
And it was a poll on the media, and it's like, yeah, and something like 67%, 75% issue.
The media just flat out lies to people, right?
And promotes its agenda.
Also, second question.
Yeah, the economic system in this country is completely rigged to favor the rich and powerful.
Something like 70-80% of the public agrees with this.
And then on the issues of the $2,000 checks, the debt relief, the whole QB loan program, right?
We haven't raised the issue of the wealth cap.
But, I mean...
Hell would that be popular, right?
No one's talking about a cap.
Say I'm going to run for president.
The centerpiece of my, like Huey Long says, the centerpiece of my agenda is the redistribution of wealth.
And I'm running on a constitutional amendment that will place a cap on fortune.
Let's put it somewhere in the $50 million range.
So all these guys who are worth, say, 20, 30 billion dollars, they're going to have to get one hell of a haircut, right?
I mean, can you imagine how angry if something like that caught on?
And is the political environment ever ripe for it in the aftermath of Trump?
If something like that gained traction...
Remember how angry they were?
You were an evil racist.
It's like, okay, well, you're really not going to like me now.
Yeah, we're actually coming for the money this time.
The thing that really matters.
That's the source of all their power, right?
What would Sheldon Adelson be without all those billions of dollars?
Would anybody listen?
So the money is the source, the power.
So you've got to attack the money and then attack it by saying, hey, we'll give it away to everybody to build political support.
Anyway, that's my little thing I'm relishing.
I got Kato or whatever.
Joseph Cotto was pissed at me yesterday.
I can't believe.
Who is that guy?
Yeah, that's that guy who does that show with Paul Godfrey.
Yeah, I've never listened to it, and I see it.
It doesn't...
Get much traction, but...
Yeah, that nerd-looking guy.
He's like, oh, this is terrible.
You just hate people who are successful.
He's just like a paleocon from 30 years ago.
You hate free enterprise or some shit.
Like some guy who just doesn't get it, right?
Yeah.
Anyway, so yeah.
But that stuff is really gaining traction, I've noticed.
That struck a chord, just like the polls would have predicted it would.
And no one's really saying that.
That, like, you could take what Trump was trying to do.
All of Trump's ideas was Pat Buchanan's ideas, right?
All Trump had to go on, really, in 2016 was old ideas from Pat Buchanan from the 90s.
But that really wasn't sufficient, right?
You've had 50 years of neoliberal economics creating these...
I mean, people who are as rich as the Rockefellers and stuff were back in the day.
Rich is as powerful as those guys.
And you've got all these people who just don't own anything.
So you need more than just say we're going to have protectionism, immigration restriction, a peaceful foreign policy.
You add wealth redistribution to that and a couple other things.
I read an article by And you also got to think, this is kind of like developing organically, because both Josh Hawley and Trump have already stumbled into this, like in December.
They both stumbled and they saw the polls.
Yeah, to go back to something that I've stressed before, I do think that Trump really stumbled out of the gate.
And he stumbled out of the gate under the advice of Steve Bannon to basically re-embrace the conservative movement and the Republican establishment.
And even though I agree this is a difficult trick to pull off, Trump could have successfully worked with Chuck and Nancy on infrastructure and basically done kind of like protean versions of what we're talking about.
In that right out of the gate.
So you do like, oh, we're doing the wall because it's part of infrastructure.
We're going to rebuild infrastructure.
We're going to do some kind of Medicare for all thing, which was, which again, he wrote about that in his books about how he supported that.
So this is not just me projecting my own desires upon him.
And, you know, infrastructure he loves.
That's his bread and butter from the, you know, 80s.
Medicare for all, he explicitly supported in public.
Throw in the wall, throw in some kind of immigration reform, dump Paul Ryan and the conservative establishment, maintain the alt-right as his kind of media force, like his attack dogs and, you know, God Emperor saying lunatics.
And that could have been successful.
And I agree that's a difficult trick to pull off, but it would have been better than what he did.
Because what he did failed utterly, and it actually had failed utterly by 2018.
And it ended up, it not only failed, it ended up in total debacle, which is January 6th.
Something that just, I mean, and COVID.
The whole idea of denying COVID is going to, that is going to be a stain forever.
And then the January 6th is just like, you know.
It's just a dumpster fire.
I mean, it is going to make sure that no one ever gives him any credit for anything, ever.
And it's just like, I don't, yeah, the total AMNAP victory.
But like, you know, it's easy to say these things, and it's maybe a bit fatuous, but like, I would have told you to do this.
You know?
Like, maybe you should have listened to someone besides Steve Bannon.
Just maybe.
One guy I was listening to, who I'll listen to sometimes, is Michael Lynn.
You know who that is?
Yeah.
Michael Lynn.
He's got a new book out called, I think, The New Clash.
Yeah, he's been around.
He writes for, what's his name, Crimes American Affairs Journal.
He had some kind of podcast out today, and he was talking about all the failures of the Trump era and whatnot.
And one of the things that's clear is the same thing I've noticed when comparing Trump to Huey Long is that Trump would go out and have these big rallies, right?
And create an email list and grift off these people.
He never tried to create an organization.
I mean, he had all these...
Trump had all those demagogue skills, but never used them to create a mass...
Never put them to good use.
Yeah, if he had any intelligence, he would have started organizing all these people into little units and stuff, and creating a mass membership machine organization.
That's what Huey Long did.
Huey was an ideologue.
The way he dominated Louisiana when he was running the state as both its senator and its governor, he absolutely crushed his rivals.
He systematically would replace every single person who criticized him with one of his own men.
He completely dominated that machine and then used that to push everything he wanted through the legislature.
He got shot when he was trying to get rid of a judge down there.
But, yeah, that's what Trump should have done.
Trump, instead of destroying his enemies and building...
He did the opposite.
No, he brought his enemies into his administration and expected them to be, and just kind of dropped all resistance to them, and never tried to organize his base like that.
And then, instead of doing anything policy-wise, fed them these retarded conspiracies until they stormed the Capitol because they believed the storm was coming.
What a wasted opportunity.
Just to reiterate real quick, it is interesting that no real organization came out of this.
I mean, he has the list to end all list of emails in terms of people who bought hats, donated, went to a rally.
People would still come to a rally.
They use Eventbrite or whatever.
So they have all of those.
Names and numbers and email addresses.
And there's not going to be any kind of organization out of this.
I mean, maybe there's going to be like the Patriot Party or whatever he's talking about.
I actually don't buy that.
It's a bluff, not a patron.
It might be, yeah.
And it might be a bluff, but I don't think it would go anywhere because his brand is dog food at this point.
And it's just like...
Nothing actually came out of it.
But, you know, he could have really organized things, like organized all of these, you know, like, you know, units and cells and like state organizations and so on.
And he didn't.
Crushed the GOP.
Yeah.
And crushed the GOP and replaced the GOP.
Blacklisted people like Mitt Romney from politics.
That's what Huey Long would have done.
If someone said a bad word about him, one of their family members basically ran with mafia tactics to crush all resistance.
That's why they said he was the most effective populist in American history.
He pushed all kinds of infrastructure and all kinds of stuff through the state legislature.
Imagine if we had someone like Trump who had those demagogue skills, but who had an ideological framework, who was confident.
Who built all the units and the organization around on the machine and replaced the people with people loyal to him.
Who would at least listen to ideologues.
A demagogue and an ideologue, that's a hard combo, but listen to them and not listen to goofballs like Steve Bannon, who just destroyed his...
And Steve Bannon was playing into QAnon.
I mean, he was going on his podcast saying, the storm is coming and all.
He was playing.
He was pushing their buttons.
He was a race baiter, too.
Playing into it.
Total race baiter.
And again, you listen to these buffoons.
Classic demagogue issue, right?
Yeah, you listen to these buffoons, and they lead not only to failure, which is where he was by 2018.
They will lead you to a total catastrophe, which they did.
Right.
Yeah, but that's why I love to compare and contrast Huey Long with Trump.
I mean, Huey Long showed you the right way to do it.
People expected him to be just another typical Southern demagogue.
There was dozens of these people who were elected after the war between the states between then and the 50s and 60s.
But they thought he'd get in there, he would start race baiting, inward this, inward that.
Talk about like...
The damn Yankee, wave the Confederate flag, have some nostalgia for the good old days of the Old South, and kiss up to Eastern Capitol, right?
Instead, he did the exact opposite.
Completely destroyed all his enemies.
And it was really like pushing to a serious platform that was the biggest threat the wealthy had ever seen in this country, the Share Our Wealth program.
If Trump could have built out on – I mean he started – like I said, at the end of December when he was pushing the $2,000 checks this year, he was starting to build out and go in that direction.
And so was Josh Hawley, who also pushed – I mean it was probably just a stunt for Hawley, but he should – I'm encouraging – there was an article out today in Mother Jones about him.
One of the interesting things about Hawley is that he does, you know, he is very well, you know, he's got a degree in history.
I went to Stanford, I think.
So he's, Hawley's actually very well educated in this.
And, you know, wrote that biography of Roosevelt.
He was very interested in Theodore Roosevelt and, you know, breaking up corporate power.
So that's a good thing in his favor.
He should, I think Hawley should definitely go more in this.
Combine immigration restriction with the destruction of people like Jeff Bezos and the redistribution of all their wealth and turning big tech into AT&T.
That's what it's got to be.
It's not this Section 230 crap, but make it so where anybody can use big tech platforms like you could make a phone call.
But if someone did that, that's the way to go.
It's too damn obvious, but I don't know.
I would not underestimate just the conservative default position of all these people.
I think that they don't either have the balls or the imagination to actually go there.
There's just this momentum with conservatism that I don't think we should underestimate.
Yeah, I think they're going to go back to their default setting.
Yeah, and also with the alt-right, you know, I mean, you look back on all that stuff and a lot of it was like, you know, those guys were just so satisfied with, I mean, it's almost hilarious.
They're chumps led along by the dog.
Just give them some, say that, you know, you have a Muslim ban, right?
You know, they were satisfied with that, even though it was...
It wasn't solving the real issue.
Yeah, I mean, it was...
I think we all thought that, like, oh, Trump gets it in his gut level, and so then once the rubber will hit the road, there could be an implementation of policy that was sound.
But that did not happen.
The Muslim ban is a total farce.
Yeah.
You can see how people like Roger Stone would...
I mean, they would look at people like in the alt-right and be like, you know, I can play these guys.
I know what their biases are.
We'll tell them we're going to build a wall that's 30 feet tall made of solid concrete.
We're going to deport all illegal aliens from the country.
They were just telling people – I mean, they were singing a siren song, telling people what they wanted to hear and manipulate them.
Let them write down – and then, I mean, we laughed, but a lot of these guys bought into the – I mean, even stuff that we would consider ludicrous, just false hope with the Q stuff.
I mean, it's kind of disappointing people can't see through that shit, but that's a huge liability.
But you see people falling back on that crap, but it's like, no, we don't need that.
We need someone who's smart, who's competent, who can build an organization who's not going to do the chief race baiting.
And he's going to really attack the source of the enemy, which is the money.
That's the vulnerability, right?
That's the vulnerability.
They're fine when you attack them, like, oh, you're going to go attack the blacks on racial grounds.
That's great.
You know, they can fundraise off that, say you're an evil white supremacist hater.
They can make millions of dollars off that.
But when you say, you know what, maybe we should...
Maybe we should get the Southern Poverty Law Center's endowment and just distribute it to everyone in the area.
That would do more to fight poverty.
End Southern poverty and end hate and everything.
Everybody have a good time and go out and make some fried chicken.
That's the direction we need to go in.
I'm trying to push things.
Apparently, it seems to be working.
I see the Stuff, ideas are catching on.
Maybe this is a new direction we need.
And of course, that'd be a great alternative to neoliberal Joe.
Neoliberal Joe can run on...
I mean, if neoliberal Joe wants to do the run for re-election in four years on the transgender locker room issue and illegal alien amnesty...
Hey, I got rid of the Keystone Pipeline.
They said it couldn't be done.
It couldn't be done, but I made gas.
I made the price of gas go up to $4 a gallon again or whatever.
Some shit like that.
But that's the way to hit them back and attack the woke stuff.
They said it couldn't be done.
They were throwing him out of locker rooms.
But I'm the guy who put him back in there.
I'm the guy who put the transexual field hockey players.
He moved us forward.
I moved us forward.
On day one, I extended to Liberia and Hammerstein.
Right.
I mean, if their opposition had any intelligence, they would realize what people really care about is the $2,000.
And the student loaned it.
You should be hitting them on not delivering on that stuff and doing all this crazy cultural stuff.
But, you know, they'd rather talk about socialism sucks.
