There is unexpected grace in the battle for freedom.
I want you to think of two numbers and how they relate.
The first number is 500 million.
Half a billion.
And the other number is 18 billion.
Now the first number, half a billion, that is the number of podcasts and downloads and books that have been viewed in the world as a result of your support of this philosophical enterprise.
Those are 500 million blinding electrified spears of light going straight down into the spines and energizing the minds of the general population.
Those are 500 million points of light We are escalating.
We are growing. One massive takedown has just occurred in the culture wars, which is the elimination of Hollywood as any kind of seat of moral authority.
Also, as Hollywood crumbles and decays in its income, that's less money to flow to leftist causes.
That, along with perhaps Possible bad health news is the reason for the $18 billion that we are going to talk about right now.
So, George Soros has pledged $18 billion out of his $26 billion fortune to this, you know, open society foundation.
You know, open like the open legs of a prostitute or an open sucking chest wound.
And that is a significant commitment.
Why is he making that? It could be because he's in ill health.
It could be because the alternative media is growing.
It could be because there's been a takedown in Hollywood.
It could be any number of reasons.
But it is a good sign.
It is a good sign.
You don't pour more troops into a battle that you're winning.
You pour more troops into a battle you are losing and we are helping them lose.
But I need your help to continue and to grow.
So Soros, of course, has this globalist open borders agenda since 1993.
His open society has supported pro-Clinton groups, super PACs, leftist groups.
He gave over $33 million to Black Lives Matter and other leftist groups that some report have links to local Antifa organizations.
So that is where the enemy, so to speak, is.
I want to know where you are in this.
Now... I have an ability to conceptualize, to verbalize, to stimulate, to provoke, and to get views.
And I need your help to do that.
You know, even if I'm just someone on your team, cheering helps.
And cheering, in this case, takes the form of support.
And support takes the form of a donation.
Sometimes I hate to ask, but I have to ask for the sake of the future.
I'm talking $20 a month.
That's less than a dollar a day.
Does philosophy matter to you?
Does the civilization that you have inherited matter to you?
We don't need $18 billion.
I don't need $18 billion because I have the truth and that magnifies all resources, the conviction and proof of the truth.
Maximizes all of these resources.
I am working as hard as I can.
I talked about sexual abuse and pedophilia in Hollywood many, many moons ago, and this story has now come to fruition.
This is a massive, massive victory.
But I need your support to continue to grow, to continue to do what it is that I do.
And you need to support freedom.
It doesn't mean donate to me.
You can be like me.
You can be like anyone else you admire.
You can donate to whoever you admire who you think is doing the best job to free the world.
But what are you holding out for?
What are you holding on for?
You do understand, my friends, I mean this with all love and respect, there is no upward limit to the amount of violence that the left historically has been willing to deploy in order to achieve their goals.
You look at the French Revolution, the Chinese Revolution, the Russian Revolution, you look at Cambodia, you look at North Korea, all of these leftist, communist, socialist revolutions resulted in massive body counts.
Nowhere in the world is immune.
To this rolling skull plowing and bulldozing of the leftist agenda.
And we need to stop it.
What are you holding on for?
Is 20 bucks a month too much?
Can you do 10 bucks a month?
Can you help out at all? Whoever you care about.
I know that I have listeners in Europe.
It's very tough to speak up and to speak out.
So, outsource it to me.
I will do it.
Because... Your conviction follows your resources.
I gave up a 15-year career and something I've been working on off and on for 30 years as a software entrepreneur and executive.
I gave up a pretty lucrative career.
I went all in.
George Soros is going all in.
You have to respect that.
Conviction wins the future.
You understand? There's a pen that writes on the blank page of the future.
Whoever gets that pen and uses that pen writes what is to come.
Whoever wants the future the most gets the future.
Wherever you put your resources is where your heart and your mind and your conviction and your integrity will follow.
So if you think of philosophy and you think of the defense of the West, And you say to yourself, well, you know, it's not really worth 20 bucks a month to me.
Then your heart and your mind say, we don't care.
So we'll watch that crazy bald guy for entertainment, but it doesn't really matter.
He's just a little monkey dancing and speaking some syllables.
If you commit some resources, whether that's your time, your energy, your money, your retweets, your like, your subscribe, whatever.
If you commit to something, your heart and your mind and your conviction will follow.
If you don't commit to something...
You will lose the future. I can't win the future for you.
You understand? The generals do not win the war.
The generals do not win the war.
Who wins the war? Everyone.
The person who cooks the food wins the war.
The farmers who grow the food, they win the war.
The people who make the uniforms, the people who deliver the ammunition, everybody is part of winning the war.
You are part of winning the war. You can't outsource heroism.
It won't work.
We need to see each other.
We need to have numbers. We need to have momentum.
We need to have commitment.
I'm not asking you to quit your job and do what I do.
I'm not asking you to torture your entire career and do what I have done.
I won't say no if you want to.
I can use as many people in the trench as possible.
But I'm not asking you to do that.
I'm asking you to support this show.

It is the only thing that stands between us and the endless rolling skulls of leftist domination.
So if you look at people like George Soros, he's all in, my friends.
He's all in.
I know what that means.
I'm all in. Because what I want to do is I want to shake you and wake you.
We cannot afford, in this moment of extremity, in the history of the world, we cannot afford to be indifferent.
We cannot afford to do little things.
We cannot afford to make tiny gestures.
Whoever wants the world most gets the world.
In this world as it stands, the meek shall not inherit the earth at all.
Do you know who inherits the earth?
Those with the resolution, the courage, the willpower, the integrity.
To grab the pen that dances over the blank page so that you and I and virtue and reason get to write the words on the page of the future.
That is all there is. There is will.
And that is all. There is no magical physics of virtue that guarantees any kind of victory.
You understand? There is no updraft that keeps us aloft.
There is no conspiring material force that is going to guarantee us victory because we are good.
Reason does not win, save by will and dedication.
I am dedicated.
What are you doing?
What are you doing? I know how few of you actually support what I do.
freedominradio.com slash donate.
I know. I see the numbers.
And I don't know. I genuinely have no clue what you're holding out for.
10 bucks a month? 20 bucks a month?
Come on. If the freedoms that your ancestors bled and fought and died for are not worth less than the price of a cup of coffee to you every day, not only will you not keep those freedoms, you have no goddamn right to keep those freedoms.
You can go to freedomandradio.com and help out what I do.
It means the world to me, to us here.
It means the world to the future.
Because we cannot afford to fail at this time.
We cannot afford to fail.
What that means, my friends, is we cannot afford to merely try.
We need to be visible to each other, which means we need to shoot up the flares of courage so we understand how great a number we really are.
If we are divided, if we are frightened, if we are scared to do anything to save what we have, then we have already failed.
Lasted. Then freedom is like the beheaded corpse twitching on a French scaffold.
It may still be in motion, but it will never come back to life.
We cannot afford to fail, which means we cannot afford to try.
We must be dedicated.
We must go all in.
The enemy is going all in.
I'd say 18 billion dollars.
That's kind of all in.
I think you would agree.
So you need to support the people who are making a difference.
You need to become a person who is making a difference and you need to forever give up on this idea of either indifference or merely trying.
You know, the old phrase from the movie.
Luke says, I'm going to try.
What does Yoda say?
Do or do not.
There is no try.
And when it comes to the future, my friends, when it comes to saving everything precious and dear to us and those who come after us, when it comes to the heavy burden we have been handed at this time in history, you say, well, I want to save the world, maybe I'll try. No.
