Ep. 305: The Greenland Crisis (1/19/26)

0:00Welcome back to Highly Respected. I'm your host, Scott Gourin. Today we're going to have a fantastic and incredible day on this fake holiday we have. As you guys all know, we always work on Martin Luther King Day no matter what. We even work on Juneteenth even though last year people accused me of not working on Juneteenth because I was supposed to have an article up on that day and then Amcon chose to wait on it but I still was writing and doing other work on Juneteenth so we do not take those days off because we do not acknowledge them as holidays so I am working hard for your guys interest today so hopefully you enjoy. So today we're going to jump right into our first topic from Cognitive Elite and it's about Greenland, Nitrosin and a

1:00question about the Greenland crisis. I was going to have today the main topic is about conservative conservative campus culture because there was a fantastic article from New York magazine that examines everything going on with Turning Point USA, College of Publicants, how they interact with general Greek life on southern universities and a lot of other things and everything going on in the wake of Charlie Kirk and their influences but Greenland is the news topic. There's more to say even despite even more than what I said last week in both podcasts and in my article about Greenland as Trump decided to announce tariffs on Europe and Europeans or obviously not taking that well. So we're going to talk about Greenland crisis, what it means for America, whether it's necessary and go off on this topic and then I'll, I didn't get any questions about the conservative campus revolution article but I'll discuss that next but there'll be a brief discussion. I might have

2:03something, I might work something out of it into an article at the end of the week but we'll go into what's going on with Greenland so if you guys know he decided to impose tariffs on Europe because Europe is dragging its feet, it's not willing to give Greenland to Trump and he just decided to go with it and obviously Europeans are pissed about it. Now I have a person who thinks he, we should get Greenland, I wrote an article last week about this, I think it's, you know, it's inevitable because the Greenlanders are eventually going to have a referendum and announce independence. The vast majority of Greenlanders want it, the only reason they haven't is because they like Danish subsidies that are in Danish welfare state. But they're, if they're ever given the choice, if Denmark ever has any reforms to welfare system or if Denmark and a lot of things going on in Europe, you know, they're, it's very tough for Europeans to continue to maintain the welfare state that they've maintained since post-war war two, since the end of war war two

3:06and they're having difficulties with that and their economies are stagnant so it's not clear that they're going to be having these subsidies for an end of time. That's inevitable. Most experts agree that Greenland's going to declare independence. Now when it does, it's going to fall in the hands of one of the world's superpowers. China's already trying to get a hand in Greenland, it's has a lot of projects there. There's a hilarious moment where somebody in my replies last week to my article said, oh, there's no Chinese designs on it. In 2018 when they tried to have projects, there are the American Empire denied it. It's like, yeah, they have no designs on it. They're just trying to get projects there and they still have projects there and despite our opposition to what they're doing. And let's say they declare independence and it's a situation where we've been blocked out of because Europe decided to have a hands off Greenland, leave Greenland alone and then the Chinese comments who've been promised welfare state and then they vote to have some type of strong

4:08relationship with China as an independent state. That would be absolutely against our interests and Greenland is within our sphere of influence. Greenland is not part of Europe. You can say that about Iceland. You can say that about a lot of other places in Europe. It is not part of Europe. It is closer to us than it is to Europe. And they're not even utilizing it in Greenland. Greenland, our Denmark is putting very little investment there. They're not the ones capable of defending it. We are, we have to have bases there to defend it and to maintain it. And so we're just about, you know, getting rid of the pretense and that. And my solution is not outright acquisition because I don't think that's going to work go well on the world stage. I don't, Greenlanders don't want to be an outright American territory. A lot of it is because we don't have the generous welfare state of Denmark and Europeans. Also, they have idiotic notions about what Americans like. There's they interviewed like a whaler or somebody who was like involved in hunting the

5:16Arctic species they have there are polar species they have there and he's like, you know, the Americans, they love these seals. They're not going to allow me to hunt anymore. And I think we would allow him to hunt probably more so than Denmark, but you know, they're they don't want to be a part of America. They don't want to be an American territory, which is what Trump wants. So there's a good solution to this where we they declare independence and we offer them a compact of free association which we have with martial islands and some other places where they are nominally independent. We give them a lot of subsidies, you know, economic subsidies and there's only, you know, 57,000 people. There's over 50,000 people there. There's not that many people there. So it's pretty cheap. This is not Puerto Rico, you know, it has no as a tiny fraction of Puerto Rico's population. What we would put in what we get out of them out of Greenland would be far more or far more worth than what we're putting into it and those types of subsidies. So we have that

6:18and then we have direct military and economic assistance and we're able to do what we want in the territory. Well, it gets to claim it's sovereign and independent and everyone's happening. We can even set up like their own welfare system for them. Even if we did bring them in and they want a welfare system, we could put them on something like the Indian reservation system that they have, you know, it's essentially full welfare. They can be an Indian reservation and they are native people. I don't know if that would go over well in America because then they're like, well, why are they getting universal health care? We're not. We need to have this for all American. So that could create problems there. But I think a CFO, a C-O-F-A is the best way to go about it. But that's not what Trump wants. Trump wants outright. He wants to part of America and this is the thing about Trump. Like there's a lot of great arguments for why America should have Greenland or why we should change our relationship with Greenland. But Trump wants Greenland part of

7:19America. He thinks it's part of his legacy. He thinks it's like this big beautiful territory that they can do stuff in and he just wants it apart America. He just, you know, wants it. That's his thing. And it's gotten into his head that he wants Greenland and the Europeans are realizing like, oh, shit, we can't do anything because we're really with the Europeans are wanting. First off, they're pissing them off on how they're going about this. The only reason that we have this crisis is that they all overreacted towards the Katie Miller meme where she had Greenland covered in an American flag, which I used in my article last week. And then they all decided to have this response where it's like, Mr. Trump, please report to the principal's office and the principal's office, the EU. And we need to give you a lecture. And so, you know, they once the Europeans have still not figured out the massive and power imbalance they have between America, they think that they're more powerful than us. They think that they can lecture us and wag their finger and tell us what to do. They are the principal and we're the troublesome student. That's how they treat

8:22us. It's a very condescending attitude that they have towards us and they express that in the interaction that Katie Miller tweet and keep doing all these other provocations. They have us insulting lines to Trump saying, you're free to invest. You can already do these things. Why why mess up a good deal? You know, these kind of once again condescending, they're sending troops there, which they're not going to be able to capable of defending the territory. But and so it just acts as a provocation towards Trump. It just pisses them off. So, and, you know, the reactions all of Europeans online and elsewhere, you know, that, you know, Europe would kick America's ass that this is going to be, you know, America's, this could be even Vietnam, but worse, I don't know how that's going to do things. They're sharing memes of armed, uh, uh, seal of armed walruses and polar bears as like this is what America Empire has to go up against. And, you know, they're just completely delusional and off the charts insulting towards us. And there's like this power imbalance.

9:27It's like anything Trump does, they have like, please report to the principal's office so we can lecture you. And that's obviously not going to please Trump when we are the powerful party here. They are not the principal. We're the principal in a lot of ways. And they're just the students that we subsidize. So they don't, but they don't recognize this. So they, you know, this meme could have otherwise been ignored, but Europeans were already upset about the Venezuelan move. But in their way about the Venezuelan move is like, we're reviewing how this uh, um, works with international law. It's like, it's a dumb fact. Like, it's a complete fact. Like, there's nothing you can do, but they still want to pretend that it was that. So, you know, they provoke this in a lot of ways by the overreaction that Trump's Katie Miller thing. Trump, you know, high off the Venezuelan raid decided like, hey, I also want greenland. And now these like fixated on that. And we're in this situation we have right now. I don't, I think we could still strong arm them for something.

10:30I think the best thing is just to force the uh, Denmark to have a great uh, a referendum in Greenland. And then us province of Greenlanders like, hey, whatever benefits you're getting from Denmark, a CFO, a C.O.F.A. would be much better for you. And you'd have full independence unlike being with Denmark. And I think we get enough Greenlanders, you know, spreading money around, they'd agree to this CFO, C-O-O-F-A happens. Europe says face because they're like, well, this is an outright acquisition. This is Greenlanders voted for this fair and square. We have to respect that. It's still, you know, America still allows Denmark to do pro, Europe to do projects there. It's not exclusively American. But, you know, we have more control over it. And we're able, we're more capable of doing what we want there. And it's more fully secure in the American empire. I think that would have worked. But I don't think anyone's going to do that because essentially the Europeans don't want to give anything. And even what Europe, Europeans are doing

11:35is that delaying tactic. And it's a very obvious delaying tactic. They're like, we're going to set up a group to discuss this. And really the whole goal is to delay this until the midterms, which they expect the Democrats to win the House, probably will. And there's no way in hell they're ever going to get the approval. Congress is going to approve the funding to get to obtain Greenland. And this would stop Trump's pursuit of it. Which would happen is that, and all these people making this point like, well, you could just use the money from tariffs. Like, no, yes to have congressional approval for territorial purchase. This is how it always works. He's bound by law in the Constitution. He has to get congressional approval of this. We had to get congressional approval for the funding for the Louisiana purchase and the purchase of Alaska. We're going to have to do the same here if we purchase it from them. And with the high cost of what it would cost to get Greenland, you know, it's going to create a controversy in a storm. And I'm not even sure a Republican majority Congress would approve of it. But a Democratic majority House is absolutely

12:40not going to approve of this. And Europeans know this so they're trying to delay. And Trump just wants outright acquisition. But I think if they just went and said, put on a referendum, have it this year and see a COFA, it has to be congressional approved. But I think Congress would approve that much more than outright purchase. It'd be much lower costs. There's not the issues around annexation and stuff, even though it's so maybe not coming off as well. But every, you know, it'll work out. This here, it's not going to work out. Even if we get at Greenland, we are probably pissing off the Europeans, which some people like that. Well, they're not our allies. It's like, well, who the fuck are our allies then India? Like, who else are our allies in the world if it's not in Europe? You know, they're very annoying. They're obnoxious. They do need to realize their place. But at the same time, like, who else are our allies in the world? And it's like, literally, you're just like saying India, not Nigeria,

13:44because we're wrapping up that agreement. Japan, maybe. South Korea, I mean, like, who's a part of our alliance? And if you're pushing, you know, the thing is, it's like, Europeans this whole thing, the way we're going about it. Like, I support Greenland. I don't think Trump's going about it the best way, but Trump is going about it in the way he sees fit is that because he wants outright annexation. He doesn't want the COCOFA. And so he feels that this is the best way. But Europeans and a lot of the rest of the world, not just Europeans, are seeing that America is not worth worthwhile of making deals with, of making agreements with because we just got in July, six months ago. We just got, we wrong, incredibly painful concessions from Europeans and their trade deal. That trade deal was humiliating for Europe. It was a complete and total lopsided win for Trump and America. They agreed to all these tariffs and stipulations, all of that trade deal that overwhelmingly favored America. And Europeans felt this was like a humiliation and

14:47very painful. And then despite, and this is another reason why why Trump's going so hard on Greenland, is that the Europeans made all this belligerent and obnoxious rhetoric over the tariffs. And like, we're going to go to a trade war. We're going to make America, we're going to punish America. When they realized that they couldn't punish America, and they're going to screw over their own countries, that there's a lopsided power arrangement here, they immediately caved and gave everything Trump wanted. The problem is, is that we just got this incredible agreement between us and Europeans that overwhelmingly favored America, that was a huge one for Trump's trade agenda. And we just ripped it up. We just, and you don't rip up agreements after just making them. It's very important. Anything in life, you just don't do that. Everyone knows that. If you make a promise, if you make agreement, especially an agreement and promise that overwhelmingly benefits you, that is entirely in your favor, you are an idiot to rip it up. Is that nobody is going to make agreements with us now, if we realize we're this cavalier with our agreements. And that's the main reason I don't like the

15:50tariff mate, uh, ways that we, it, it invalidates this, this win for Trump and this agreement we have. On the international stage, you have to make, you have to uphold your promises. I, any, these stupid things like we shouldn't uphold our promises, like if you're completely untrustworthy, whether in personal affairs or in geopolitical affairs, no one's going to work with you. And that's, you're going to be a problem and you're going to be isolated. And this is what happens. It's like always respect your agreements. Now, that doesn't mean a lot of Europeans like you're violating the 1951 agreement. First off at 71 or whether it's from the 1950s, you know, it's like 75 years old. It wasn't negotiated by a Trump. The situation is completely different now than it was in the early 50s. That you can renegotiate deals like that. Anything a long lasting or somebody else made, you know, there's, oh, there's open for it. It is still even problematic when, you know, a president makes a deal like what they did with Iran and then Trump rips it up. But that's a nature of American

16:53democracy. We've done that a lot in the past, but eating a rego shake deals. But it's very stupid for to read and go shake deals. You just made that only benefited you. And those such world situations, they're like saying that it was six months ago pretty much. And then you just rip it up because you won Greenland. And I think even the cost of getting Greenland is it's, if we, if we, with our current tactics, get Greenland, we are going to push you up to China. They're just going to think that China is a much better partner. They're much more trustworthy. And that's going to present problems for us a long term, if they would just push them to China. And a lot of people like, well, they would have bad things with China. It's like China is not going to be a schizophrenic as we are. Like, you know, they have a set policy. They go with it, you know, it might be onerous. You know, there's a lot of troubles with working with China as that they come to collect. They don't interfere with their personal, with their, you know, internal affairs. They're not going to care about European censorship, which is a bad thing. They're not going to give a shit

17:57about, you know, they're not going to have real designs on, they're not going to try to do outright annexation in Europe, either like where we are. And they're all just going to be calm lackeys of the Chinese empire, if, if even if we get Greenland. And it's probably not worth the price of how it's going about it. It's why you have to do things that allow Europeans to say face on this and doesn't humiliate them is that even though it is necessary to recognize the power imbalance between American Europe, and they get really up to to remind them of this. And to say, this is like rather stupid and annoying to remember that power imbalance, but we should not abuse them. But right now we are abusing and humiliating them. And this is the tariffs are like the final straw that they, you know, it's going to stiffen resistance to them doing anything on Greenland, especially when they realize that they just have to hold out for till the November midterms. And they know that they're not, that Trump is not going to acquire

18:59Greenland. And I think that's what most likely they're going to do is that they're just going to hold out. And I think this difference resistance in it. I think we're the, the tariffs make it less possible to get Greenland. And even if we do, it's going to come up out, it's going to come at a huge price for it. Now, maybe it's for the best that NATO ends. I'm more, that's truly something I'm on both sides with. You know, maybe it doesn't make as much sense now for NATO. And even what the president's agenda, you know, new form policy is seeing that we're going to not emphasize NATO as much. But it's not really good if Europe then has, you know, their own security group. And then it's working close to China. That's not in our American interests. And I don't know who our allies are in that case. We also pissed off East Asia over the trade war over Trump's trade wars too. And they're, they're a little, they're a lot more skittish about working with us as well.

20:00You know, I don't want to sound like a liberal here, but it's, you know, there's a necessary to have a more realist America first agenda. And I think getting Greenland is part of that. I think the operations that we're doing in Venezuela and calls for that to do in Latin America are necessary. And I think it's also warranted to tell these, you know, horrible euro crafts to go fuck themselves and to realize that, hey, we're the boss, not you. And that, but you shouldn't drive them into the arms of China here, which I worry about. But you, the thing is it's like, you say this is reasonable. And then you see Europeans. And the, I almost completely changed my opinion on the new tariffs that saying, oh, it's a bad idea. This is a, this is a rational. And then I saw the, the incident at an NBA game in London. Of course, it's an NBA game in London. All these Europeans, like we're going to separate ourselves from America. The one thing that might not separate themselves from America is they're more loyal to American cultural imperialism that maybe even

21:02Americans are, like they're loving NFL games there and all the things. I didn't even know we're having NBA games in London. And they're singing the national anthem there. And then some guys are leaf green then alone. And then they're like, yeah, they all roar in approval during our national anthem. And it's a major insult. First off, it's gay, second, a cringe. And it, you know, it's a major insult to us. And then I'm watching that clip. It's like, you know, I fuck yourself. You deserve the tariffs. But, you know, then I get reasonable in the morning. I, you know, I sober off. I calm down. I'm like, yeah, this isn't really good. So I fully support getting green lent. I mean, it's in an availability in the next 10 years. We're going to need it because I don't think Europe is, you know, Europe could reverse this decline, but it is and steep decline right now. And when people are like, oh, America's acting like an empire, empire decline. Okay, even if we're an empire decline, what the fuck does that make Europe? Europe is in a far, in terms of like its ability to defend itself and its ability to have functioning economies.

22:03And, you know, and its ability to keep internal peace in a way. I mean, the immigrant, even the immigrant problem, we are having a huge immigrant problem there, but it's like, there is worse. Even if their demographics are better, but they're, there's zero assimilation at all. And they see themselves as a completely foreign population. They don't even assimilate to the kind of slop mass American culture that America has, which, you know, there's problems with that, but at least, you know, keeps them relatively content or seeming that there's some sort of American Europe doesn't have that. So Europe has a lot more problems that we do. They have some advantages, better demographics, better sense of who they are. But, you know, when they, their economies are, are crumbling, they have no ability to defend themselves, and the entire world can walk all over them. That's very serious problems. So if we're in decline, that doesn't mean that Europe is going to rise from the ashes and be this all-powerful empire. No, it means that they're just going to have to transfer one imperial overlord for another,

23:04and that imperial overlord might be a lot worse. Actually, it will be a lot worse with China. So, you know, I think that's impossible. It's for both America and Europe's own good that they don't aren't driven into the arms of China. But that's why we need to go about this different. But I don't know if it's going to go about a different. I mean, Trump might focus on something else after in February or something. So this might be it, but I think Europeans are going to, they really, ever since Trump was elected, they've been wanting to reassess the relationship with America, which is funny that Biden was humiliating them as well. But then they're like, we're going to be even more loyal to you. Oh, thanks for blowing up our pipeline. We're actually going to blame Russia for this, even though it was close to you. I mean, America blowing up its pipeline was more embarrassing and more humiliating from Europe, and when Europeans were faced with that because it agreed with their idiotic stance toward Ukraine, they were all like, thank you. We're going to blame Russia. And we're going to shut down any

24:08conspiracy theories that say this might be of America responsible in this. So they're, you know, Biden and started the humiliation for them. I mean, we, you know, we, but they were happy and gleeful for it. But when it's like Trump, you know, they're now have this false posture of defiance that they would immediately cave to. But I think even if you get Greenland out of these strong armed tactics, it's not really worth it. You don't want to fully abuse. You don't want to fully abuse. Europe and Europe could just, they've all been talking about transitioning away from America, and if they start to do so, they're just going to go into the arms of China, which is not good for us or them. So it's a, it's a, it's a messy situation. I still think the best solution, because in next 10 years, I don't think Europe can really defend and retain Greenland. I think they're going to allow more Chinese influence into that territory. And so it's better to have this referendum now before China gets a foothold there rather than in 10 years when China is there. And then they agree to

25:13do some type of COFA type agreement with, um, with China rather than us. And that's very much. In the next 10 years, Greenland is likely not going to be part of Denmark. And the longer waves, the greater the likelihood it is that it falls within the China sphere of influence rather than ours. So it's better to do this now, but we have to go about it smart. And I do worry, it's like maybe too, too late to do it in the smart way, but I still stand by it's worth while to get Greenland. I think it's, the thing is, it's like Europeans aren't capable of defending far away territories. And they're not utilizing it. It's, it's outside the EU, it's outside the EU, but it's still the projects we do there are still subject to EU regulations, which is why we've been pairing down projects there. And it's why we've been wanting to renegotiate this. It's been a part of the renegotiations that are going on with Europeans, but is there. So we want a pleasant solution to this. I mean, either CFO, C-O-F-A, or

26:18some type of greater freedom of, and that those EU regulations that have been, that your American project has been subject to are removed. Maybe it's nominally in Danish hands, but we're, you know, it's basically a C-O-F-A in all but name. There could be something like that. I don't know, those are probably the two best solutions. I think outright. Outrating sense shoot would be cool. I mean, it's like, wow, we've got, we've now got Greenland, but the cause is going to, it's going to cause internal problems here. Most Americans aren't going to be happy with it. They'll probably forget. It's not going to be a midterm issue unless, but the price tag of it might be. It's also going to lead to issues with also the Greenlanders don't want outright annexation. So it's not going to look good. It's going to look really bad on the world stage. And all the Greenlanders are going to want to be have an independent from us, which I don't know if it's going to be good for that, but it would be cool, but I think the better solutions is

27:22best is C-O-F-A. Second is some C-O-F-A in all but name, but it remains a Denmark, Danish hands. But we do need, we need something that Trump can declare when and that he has gotten Greenland. I think C-O-F-A offers that and everyone goes home relatively happy. So that is my take on the Greenland crisis. We will continue to cover it as more news updates happen, but we'll go into this conservative campus culture article for a little bit. I'll probably just talk about it for 10 minutes or so and then we'll get to the other questions. I think it was a fascinating article is that I've talked about this a lot. I've talked about this a few weeks ago where the Manhattan Institute and city general interviewed all these young zoomers and their political beliefs. And I had a whole podcast about it on what it shows the state of Gen Z conservatism. And this article further reinforces my notions is that a lot of zoomers, they're getting more of these far right ideas than ever before but they're not as ideological as

28:29you think. They're not all turning into false or right identitarians who are fully committed these ideas. A lot of them view this as entertainment, a lot of them have a type of I guess spurious maybe attitude towards politics but you know it's not deeply serious. These are not hardened militants. There are a number of ideological aligned kids but they are a small minority among young conservatives. Now the Manhattan Institute won just interviewed random young Republicans and all of them most of them were out of college. The New York magazine article is primarily interviewing campus conservatists. So they're at college. These are more and politically engaged types. These are more than just Republican voters. So these are the most engaged people, young people. But even there that picture is reinforced because they're showing a difference between two different cultures that are happening college campuses. There's now two

29:29groups. It's like turning point USA which is more of a fun social scene focused primarily on campus politics like what's going on on campus and dealing with university issues. Sometimes when it's election season they get them involved in local campaigns and that. But they're not really fully politically serious. It is like conservative campus culture but it's not meant to be like dead serious militant. If you're really like political itty log you're now hilariously enough in the college Republicans that a lot of these campuses. Sometimes it's different in a lot of universities but I talk to some people about this you know to get a better picture and they're like saying yeah that's mostly the correct because it's allowing college Republicans to be the more hardcore element. And they emphasize this and the article because they go to Clemson and turning point USA is like all about social issues or campus social issues and that stuff. And they even the college Republicans that are complaining that they're about frivolous issues.

30:29Meanwhile the college Republicans are like dead serious about like demographic change and all the hard right online right issues that they're into and they're like dead serious about this which is very different from Meyer because in Meyer first off there was a ton of different conservative groups. There was no TPSA at the time like Charlie Kirk I think created TPSA when I got out of college or like my senior year but it was not coming about on college campus at all. On TPSA was like very different beast back then. I remember when he did interview with the Daily Callers like 2014 I was even aware of him and he was like always emphasizing it's a non-partisan group just dedicated to spreading free market principles to college campuses which you know is a funny way of thinking about it but that was his point. It was not the type of organization that it's seen as today but it transformed itself over during the Trump years and it became the only conservative campus group. You know a lot of the things that were around when I was

31:34there. Young Americans for liberty I think is still around but they're very tiny and it's clearly not addressed to the right wing issues. I mean I but in people really don't talk about y'all that much. Young Americans for freedom transformed to Young Americans Foundation. It's not really around at all. I don't I think they just focus on like I think they still give money out to the campus speakers. I remember they were the they were the rival of TPSA when you know Groyper War broke out. Yeah I was trying to position itself as a more serious alternative to TPSA's party vibe. TPSA 1 and yeah those people then went into TPSA or got basically caught up to a POSA. It's even like any other campus organization our our conservable groups are are they're dedicated to our campus. Pretty much everything they do now is with TPSA. Like Leadership Institute had a lot more like political ideological groups you know youth western

32:36civilization that I was a part of was under the under under the umbrella of Leadership Institute so it was so was y'all and a couple of others. I think there's students for liberty which is like really left wing but these are very minor groups. You really just have TPSA in college Republicans but now college Republicans at my time were just complete Republican Apparachics. These guys were like more moderate than Paul Ryan. They were like we need to focus on like votes. We shouldn't talk about any cultural controversial issue besides taxes and all these guys were just like hoping to like be some functionality in the state party and it's like boring sucks. They were all anti-Trump in 2016 and even ended in 2020. Contra Republicans was suck but college Republicans do the fact that they don't have a top-down organization you know it's just a college Republicans there. They have some affiliation with the party but there's no real central control over a college Republican chapter so they're much easier to just take over and operate as you see fit and that was also the case with some of

33:38these YWC chapters in the early 2010s is that someone would just take over the college Republicans kick out the cucks and then they run it as they saw fit and even if they it would just be a YWC chapter in all but in all about name. So youth for us in civilization so that would be the case there but now that's happened all over the country is that college Republicans have got really hard core right wing. You saw that with the CR group chats leaks and now for people who think that TPSA is too frivolous they're now joining up with college Republicans and that is a difference that's a big difference from my time and any other time is that now college Republicans is a hardcore group but it does show like the change in campus conservatism is like TPSA you know it might be I guess the more moderate branch but it's still further to the right than any other campus than all campus groups with the exception of YWC which is tiny it only had like

34:38maybe 50 members nationwide you know except with the exception of that it's to the right of any campus group though when I was around in the early 2010s or even it's to the right of itself in the late 2010s but then the college Republicans are like way to the right than it was in the past so you know it just it seems a difference of demeanor and focus and it's on and TPSA likes to attract a lot of girls it has a party vibe it's seen as something fun well can't a college Republicans is like dead serious like we want to change the world and maybe that's not as attractive to college students who all who really want to do something fun and not something dead serious but it's like the really ideologically aligned kids who are fully getting into the online right stuff and this is not full on entertainment or frivolous or you know some of these people like they interview people who have very moderate views like they interview this girl who's at Ole Miss who is from New York

35:39is a misshaling and she's you know in another time in place she would have not fit in Ole Miss but she has utilized her political stardom and her connection with being a TPSA president to make herself fit in or to be a big woman on campus at Ole Miss and she even has problems with you know with her own sorority you know I had people friends who were reading this and they were saying like oh the reason why that a lot of this conservative campus culture isn't fitting in with Greek life is that they might be too prudish and tried for that that's not the case with TPSA it's the real issues that they're too wild and go against their standard or is because for Greek life Greek life is a conservative institution but they generally don't they don't get involved in political activism one is that they're too busy having fun which even at one point in college it was like this seems a lot more it seems I at one point I was like I can focus on political stuff which there wasn't really much going on in the early 2010s or I can focus on my fraternity and I chose

36:41fraternity over that probably for the best actually and that's like the case with that they're just too focused on fun second it's like just seeing this weird thing to do it's like well why are you doing anything political we got we got a party to have and then it's like same with sorority girls is that they're obsessed with these standards and norms and this girl is always called who's running the TPSA chapter at Ole Miss is always called before standards sometimes being too wild but it's also the fact that she's just too loud and vocal and into something that associate is not being standard sorority behavior or what a sorority girl should be into and I think that's also a case with a lot of these universities is that Greek life is very conservative very big Trump supporters but they're mainly their main thing is like don't rock the boat it's focus on social activities and that's that they like TPSA because it you know it's a fun social activity and it's focused on campus issues and it's not really focused on there's

37:45no dead serious political element to a lot of these chapters so they'll like go occasionally to these events but it still even goes along with that so if you're looking for Greek life and this is explained on this article and a lot of other articles about Greek life is that it's you're not going to turn them into political factors one their life is just too good they've got a lot of all the things going on this is also the problem with conservatives in general is that our people have too many things going on you know they've got jobs they've got families they're not going to focus on political activism and maybe their life is good and it's even more obvious when it comes with Greek life because Greek life they're parting they're having an amazing time they don't have time to worry about political issues so the guys in like college or bubble gets this up there even at the Southern campus because they primarily go to Clemson and Ole Miss to interview people the people in like college revocates they're not they're really far out from Greek life because they're really interested in the stuff that's but that's not to say that like these guys in Greek

38:47life and TPSA aren't getting these ideas you know they're much more critical of Israel than they would have been in the past and all the things but they're focused on a lot of other things and they're not really ideological whatsoever and that's indicated by this girl of TPSA chapters that she emphasizes that we don't talk about abortion we don't talk about anything that's going to make people too uncomfortable which is like a huge difference from campus conservatism in the past where like abortion was one of the big issues for them and now like they don't talk about it because well I think it's also something that even a lot of our side does want to admit is that you know America's far more pro abortion than it's ever been and that's especially the case with young people especially with young women they might be opposed to abortion in the abstract but when it so becomes a real issue like when the Supreme Court struck it down then they all become a pro abortion so they don't talk about it but this woman and she has a lot of other she's not even that strong on immigration but she's in a conspiracy theories she even like a hints that she believes conspiracy theory is about Charlie Kirkstaff and then she's like her is

39:50her favorite person watch she's like oh I really like watching Nick Flynn this now and you know like I don't think you're getting the politics but I think it shows that like for a lies guys this is a form of entertainment and which makes it both the success is that if it's entertaining and fun and people laugh at you get more people but at the same time you shouldn't take in the fact that people are watching influences like that and hearing these ideas through TikTok and elsewhere that this is dramatically changing who they are setting their ideology as it's much less ideological than you'd expect for these groups it's about fun but there are deeply ideological groups and they're now taking our college Republicans which that might be the forces that then take over the Republican Party but that is a minority even among campus conservatives so I think the one thing even which NC conservatives is a point I want to make is that yes they're getting a lot of these ideas of more right wing ideas and they have

40:50ever had in the past the influences that are they're watching are more right wing but then that goes along with you know contradictory impulses that you know the vast majority of Gen Z years and this is even the case with Gen Z Republicans aren't fond of immigration or aren't fond of immigration moves not because they're not deporting enough people but because they think they're deporting too many people yes they're critical of Israel that's true that's one thing but it's in some ways agreeing with well I don't actually I'm not going to make that point because I think even the far right people make this a lot of same points that the far left makes on it so that could be a case of it but even a lot of other I don't even think it's there's like a desire to have you know they might be laughing more racist jokes and other things I don't think this is also a sign that they're eager for a separate white ethno state which I don't even think that's a case I even saw this like Kabili separate I saw all these vets and troops who are on

41:51right wing twitter talking about all their mixed race kids and how it's awesome and if anyone dares insult them they're gonna kill them and there's a this got a ton of engagement so even on our side I don't think that's a really case I don't think it's encouraging support for a kind of typical white nationalism but I think they're more okay with these type of jokes and rhetoric than they would have been in passes more socially acceptable but it doesn't really mean that they're being fully propagandized into it is the way I would say that so that is my take on that now we're gonna go with the other questions okay actually we got two questions for New England RPG sorry about the thing uh he said looks like his first questions looks like James Talleriko will win the Democratic primary how will this affect the race and what do you think of him I don't think he's show he's ahead of Crockett right now but a lot can change and still competitive race oh that's

42:53just one poll showing him ahead all their polls show Crockett ahead I mean they're older uh I don't Talleriko is the more competitive candidate he's the only one who could win Crockett can't win that's why republicans started this type of campaign to encourage her to run where they're like oh you can win like people really want you and she got convinced of this and that's why she's running and if she's the nominee republicans will definitely win I think Talleriko it's gonna be very tough for him to win even if he is but he is the most competitive candidate that they could field and if he wins the nomination that is gonna make it a very competitive race whatever republicans run if it's against Paxson I think he would win I think he would win but I don't think Paxson's gonna get the nomination but I think if if he's the nominee Paxson loses and this my jeopardized republican control of the senate uh but if it's Hunt are Corning he'll probably lose but it'll be very tough even against Wesley Hunt you know uh I think Corning would defeat him but uh Hunt it

43:54would you know I think Hunt would still pull it out but it'd be really close so that's my view on that and it's very moderate even though people are like he just destroyed his campaign by saying that all religions are equal unlike the like the average American thinks this way you know if you want to run on like uh he's a heretic I don't think that's gonna really do much uh for the voters his other question is you were talking about left and right wing films during one battle after another pod this remind me that there's the most key prestige television series out right now Landman I'm actually not gonna read it because he's like talking about it it is not a key it first off it's not prestige because it's meant for like boomers like the Taylor Sheridan shows are not prestige TV they have some of the high production values of prestige TV more than uh the never TV shows but it's not prestige and I I don't like Taylor Sheridan shows I'm not gonna watch Landman I've not seen enough clips of it but I did not like Yellowstone I'm not gonna watch the the

44:58newer version of Yellowstone with the Landman I have you guys like it that's fine but I I I probably Taylor Sheridan shows are probably worth its own podcast I would probably do that I might watch a few episodes but I really don't like it I don't but it's the thing is it's like it shows that how like unkeyed our base is because we think of our base is like oh they they they're really socially conservative they want their own white ethno state and they are really hostile to emigrants and stuff and then this show it celebrates emigrants it celebrates like uh that the white stole the lands from the indians and then there's like this vulgar scene where um um uh Billy Bob Thornton's character is telling his daughter is like well you got you can't do anything but uh as a song is on in you it's like you can do all the things that are sexual but not having uh basically having full on uh full on intercourse and it's like a really vulgar scene and

45:59you're like I don't think this is like that base and like our audiences love that so it's worth watching like this stuff to realize like the what our base is actually like it's not as based as we might think and it's still nice that they give entertainment that's dressed up and read red state aesthetics which it really is it's just red state aesthetics it hates the liberal bug men with our college degrees and celebrates blue collar guys who are genuine and they're rough around the edges and it creates that that's like the new right wing red state style i'm not really into that style and it's also when it's paired with you know they'll complain about like using pronouns but then they'll celebrate emigrants and how white stole the lands from the indians and even like Yellowstone had a really bad ending where the white's like sacrifice thrown land and handed over to the indians but then they maintain their their gravestones and so it's like we give up our land but hopefully the Indians will maintain our our cemeteries so no i'm not gonna praise land man

47:06dollar bill out of question saying does Will Stancell have a shot at becoming the governor of Minnesota if he decides to throw his hat in the ring no it'd be really funny though he's run for office before and he's lost every time by a lot so no he's not he's too much of a goofball a lot of left-wingers now unironically like him because he's falling around ice and even though there's some leftists are making fun of it they're like he's got more bravery than anyone else so we we respect Will Stancell but Stancell is uh he has no charisma i mean the reason why he's becoming meme is he's such a goofball and like this dorky guy there is no way on earth he would ever become governor of Minnesota but we very funny if he if he decided to run for governor of Minnesota so i support him to throwing his hat in the ring but he would absolutely not win so we got some uh more questions obviously we've got um questions from share crop he said i agree that the republican base can be pretty stupid what percentage of the current base do you

48:09think are anti trump Epstein conspiracy types i wonder if there are people who would be anti corporation or anti military industrial complex 20 years ago um anti trump conspiracy theory types i don't even know if there are even voters um maybe maybe 5% you know uh he's got 92% approval rating among republicans and a lot of those republicans are not because it's he hasn't arrested every single Jew who is involved in Epstein it's it's because they think it's too radical uh so um i would say it most 5% and it's probably less and a lot of those people i don't know you don't know a lot of those people probably are leftist who moved over or like people really hardcore or into Alex Jones uh for years we've always kind of had those conspiracy nuts but now that contents a lot more popular online

49:09the thing is like that 5% is a small percentage of voters but they're very online so they have overstated presence online compared to normies so we think that they're a much bigger part of the base but i'd say it most 5% uh and he's also do you think bomb pan body is doing accurate job do you think it's good that she seems to exist entirely offline uh i don't think she would be a good job i mean trump is really is really pissed off at her he's likely to get rid of bomb day because uh he thinks he's she's not arresting enough people the issue is is that they'll probably get an interim ag which is going to be the plan but that interim ag is not going to be able to do what trump wants to do and he's still going to face the same problems that he has with Bonnie and it might even be a dumber person who's like worse on tv i mean you could say like Bonnie i do better but Bonnie is like trying her hardest to do what trump wants far more than anybody would have had in his first term and it's not enough because like you know it's the issues with our system our

50:11system is not designed to just like arrest people because you know the president doesn't like them you know they have to build a case grand jury is thrown out or the the lawyers working on them think their weak case is and they replace people they're going to still have the same problems if Bonnie is removed you're not going to suddenly see like every leftist arrested throughout the country if Bonnie is is removed uh so there's uh there's a question uh similar to that um on gallup i'll go to gales and jory because he's got the next uh topic i want to cover he said i reached his second question which i'll start first he said i recently saw two conflicting polls both from fairly reputable sources on trump's support among republicans gallop says republican identification is down six points from last year and the backlash is much worse than the first term uh wall street general says 92% of his twenty twenty four voters strongly approve his term so far which do you think is actually the case personally i think anyone who thinks he's weaker now than twenty fifteen is delusional even though the honeymoon is clearly over yeah i think it's um

51:16gallops accurate i think republican identification probably is true is that there was a i mean a lot of young people who were republicans last year are now not republicans um because they think he's too mean on the deportations and other other issues there's been enough i think there's a lot of new voters who came in suddenly over twenty twenty four for a variety of reasons that they've now moved away from republicans um but the backlash uh so that's a more obvious backlash but the thing is is trump won't had a much bigger victory in twenty twenty four compared to the then in 2016 2016 is almost an accident you want it's not almost an accident it is an accident you won twenty twenty four he was obviously going to win and he won the popular vote so he had a lot more voters and i think there are a lot more of those voters have soured on the issue with 2016 is those voters were already like reluctant trump voters and they went with trump i think there were more confident trump voters there's a lot more people are willing to cast their ballot

52:18and much more confident in it and i think that's reflected in his control over the republican party so i think the backlash you know among voters you know it's probably about the same but i think he has much more he has a lot more advantages this time one he has greater far greater control over the republican party than he did in 2017 media's far weaker um and has far less influence and riling people up a lot of people i mean there are now protests over ice it does seem we're moving a little bit more back to the twenty ten but there's not the accompanying hysteria there's nowhere near the level of censorship and just the feeling that left the left has complete cultural and social control like it did and the media is still a lot more toned down than it was in 2017 so there's that so there's not as much the public backlash i think with maybe

53:21approval of polls but is there but i think when it comes to cultural and social backlash it's far weaker uh and i think he has greater control over republicans and republicans are much more pro trump and much more vocal in it than they were in 2017 so i think but i think it's that a lot of the new voters who came a vote of form of twenty twenty four of now soured on him but he had far more voters in twenty twenty four than he did in 2016 so there's that but so it's two different things that are being assessed here but he's far stronger than he was in 2017 but it's maybe not as strongly reflected in it's not it's it's harder to pull that because it's a cultural and social attitudes there's far less of opposition towards him than now i mean he's doing things that are far more radical he was doing nothing in 2017 it was radical except for these tweets and his tweets

54:23now are far more outrageous but you have to remember is that in 2017 he got the entire NFL to kneel and protest of him just because he criticized the kneelers now he's like uh you know imposing tariffs on europe by tweet saying some mollies are garbage and all this stuff that would have never been possible in the first term and you know there's not as much cultural and social backlash i mean that is changing a little bit you know the uh somebody has a question I think about polarization which we'll go to next but i got to go to this uh question on his on the church invasion of minnesota um do you think that this will backfire on the left obnox-wise and do you think the dogeo dogeo prosecute don lemon along with the rest of group i mean they want to uh prosecute them i don't know if they'll prosecute don lemon trump would love that because it's like somebody recognizes and the idea that any ceases is an enemy and he would like love to press charges against on lemon i mean disturbing the peace they've got a lot of

55:26things that they you know intruding a private property there there's a lot of things that they could charge them with and they could have a civil rights violation because this is you know they're interfering with their expression of religion which uh i think that the doge would try to charge them with um i think they'll try to do charges they want to make an example these protesters they've always been trying to make examples these protests people think that they're like not arresting anyone you know the fact is is that they press charges against democratic candidates and lawmakers who interfere with ice business and if you're gonna go and break into a church and cause a ruckus they're gonna definitely try to press charges with them no it's really bad optics but i don't think the left cares about it and it's only gonna be something with conservative media i think it's just gonna encourage greater polarization on the issue which is good because i think we need to maintain high republican support for ISIS actions and to really place a blame for anything going on with ice with insane leftists who are trying to interfere with their business

56:27of arresting dangerous illegal criminals so i think it'll backfire on that result because it's going to make it a lot harder for the left to win over republican voters when they're doing shit like this and so i think it'll be in our interest and i think it's a lot different than to say the uh family separation stuff of 2018 which was far less radical than what Trump's doing now and republicans all got called feet over it i think thankfully to the left is the left exit stream it'll ensure those people stick with the stay supporting Trump's agenda so james had some questions that are similar he said do you think the deployment of um oh yeah he'll i have it something he said do you think the deployment of federal prison bureau officers and minnesota will help it's probably the best option all the other than using troops absolutely yeah no i i think you know deploying any officers i think deploying law enforcement

57:28is probably a little bit better than national guard i mean it's good optics i mean they're talking about sending in federal troops but all these national guard are not trained to do any of this shit and they this happened a lot in during the riots is that they were kind of stood around i didn't know what to do and it's even had that cases with like in dc they didn't know what to do it's like in Halloween you know all these black kids attacked them and they weren't really quite sure what to do but when you're sending law enforcement they're fully trained to do with this stuff and they really know how to put down the riots so oh yeah i think it's i think it's a great option the issue is is that there's not enough of them to deploy you know they ain't got normal jobs so it's better to use the troops but i think more federal personnel they send there is great so i support that the second question is every thought about doing an IQ supplement on the duke's lacrosse scandal this march will mark its 20th anniversary yes i will do something on the 20th anniversary thanks that is a great suggestion so i'll try to do something this spring on the duke lacrosse scandal

58:33it's a people are paying attention to it because it's the origin of steve and miller it's also the origin of richard Spencer as well so we will discuss the duke lacrosse case i'll try to do an IQ supplement on it so we got um and those two questions i don't know if i named before was gilson joyer uh paper view there's another questions that were more online i'll get to paper view in a sec maybe not well i'll have to go through some others so we'll go with paper view he said he's got two questions if with the Somali fraud being exposed i think an achievable goal it's getting average everywhere kind of have the politics or any fine i don't think you want them to have the politics or any fine similar to them they are probably immovable in the israel foreign policy issue but they have really got pissed off of the fraud from Somalis and can get pushed into wanting to pause all immigration thoughts randy fine has insane views

59:34on foreign policy that is not the average boomer i mean the average boomer supports israel but like randy fine is just in another place and he sometimes does this extreme domestic stuff because he knows it like it's what trump wants it's like he's the one to introduce the annexation of greenland idea and he does this stuff in order to curry favor with maga and trump so he can focus on his insane foreign policy i don't think randy fine you don't want them to have the politics or randy fine because then their chief issue is israel which it's not a boomer's and everything else is secondary and randy fine just adopting this stuff because he thinks it's the best way to encourage support for israel so he's a little bit all the place but i i think it's good outside of randy fine yes i think we can get the average boomer to really hate immigrants and other things by or not hate immigrants we're no one hate anyone but to hate mass immigration and to want these people deported is by exposing the fraud and i think if you've watched fox news over december

1:00:40they were really making their audience view all Somalis as parasites who don't belong in the united states so a lot of them are moving in that position and you can see that from the type of media they're consuming so yes i think you can get them to be a lot better on immigration they're still going to have weaknesses on israel foreign policy but they're going to be a lot better on domestic issues the second question is what do you make of trolley kirk becoming a mean less than six months ago less than six months since being assassinated his legacy is a i memes with george floyd getting confused with christian kirk by christian a smith and that's stupid focus how we are charlie kirk um and it's just kind of natch it's a part of the internet because the internet likes to be iconoclastic and it likes these type of offensive means it's like how like jeffrey obscene is now a meme it's like how george floyd is now a meme we kind of like to take the like or sacred cows and turn them into funny memes for us to laugh at it's a very it's a very much

1:01:42part of the internet culture and then they had like charlie kirk like catching footballs with like i'm getting confused by christian kirk it was really funny so it's just a net natural part of how charlie kirk has become you weren't going to maintain the type of reverent attitude towards charlie kirk over time i mean he still has that among right wingers and a martyr figure but i think it's changing over time and it's also how the right is debating charlie kirk you're either debating whether israel kill them or samarian deemons kill them because it's a time traveler or you know you're you know making him out to be this martyr who was killed by the left so the right's debating about it it's just very different now charlie kirk has treated now than it was in september i mean if any liberal dared make a irreverent comment towards kirk you know that person faced a lot of consequences now you know there's a lot of irreverence towards it but i mean it's what it's it's well meaning irreverence i think it's it's you know it's not you know attacking or condemning him but

1:02:46it's becoming more of a of a humorous figure and death some of the memes aren't very good like the ones with like him and rane good is like you're shooting was wrong and so was you're shooting i guarantee you rane good thought that like charlie kirk had it had got what he had was coming and if charlie kirk was alive today he would obviously defend the ice agent in him acting itself defense towards rane good but it's just the nature of the internet it's how the internet is it's a very irreverent place it likes these type of memes it types of like the edgy controversial humor it's why a lot of right wing influencers are getting big on tiktok with like outrageous grants it's very entertaining for people uh kens got two questions he said thoughts on kevin deanna great guy i've known him for years start a ywc great guy don't fully agree with all his takes but he's a great guy uh so i've known him for years so friend um yeah that's mainly the thoughts great guy

1:03:50so that's it um uh ask some good tweets have some maybe not so good tweets but or nobody's perfect a second question have you seen the new twenty eight years later movies i have not uh kens says the new one bone temple is much better than the twenty years later i was not aware that there are two separate movies this i i was had a big awareness that twenty years later came out and then i see a sequel only these the same movie is this the new to but um i haven't seen them so i have no thoughts i've had seen any of the twenty eight movies uh twenty eight timeline movies in a while i remember watching twenty eight days later i guess it was twenty eight weeks later years ago but i don't have any strong thoughts on it maybe a podcast but i don't know if i do something on that but maybe um think we're just down to k max and okay ruric let me double check

1:04:55two and sure oh no no no i know who we got we got mark mark is a new guy questions in paka for some reason he's got he's got two questions he says you've always said that the that the america the nineteen eighties and nineteen nineties can't come back due to demographic change i take that i agree with is it possible that with sufficient right wing policies that are two thousand early twenty ten style america still exists seems like the country is much so much standard and less polarizing we cannot return to the past so i don't i don't like i don't like i don't like situating these things that like we're returning to an earlier age it's very politically common for us for nostalgia to be a powerful force in our society i think it's a much more powerful force in our society than any time because you have ease of access to the past in a way that you didn't thirty years ago as i made this point is that you can go onto youtube and watch all these clips from the eighties and nineties like wow it seems so so much better but it's grass is always greener on the other side you can never return the past and i don't like

1:05:59situating these things in the past so i don't like that framing of it um he has a question about depolarization which will go into more that's a more interesting that's i don't want to say it's more interesting but it's something we can work with a little bit more you said i feel like this goes in cycles the u.s. was a you know party in the nineteen fifties and early nine sixties during the mid sixties the early seventies it was as bad as today more depolarized again for the eighties to to Obama second term more polarized again let's take total right wing cultural victory to move the country to the right well it's actually not as depolarized in the six sixties and seventies you would think is that generally there was the silo majority was true is that the political consensus in our country of the mainstream was set was set it's why the country was able to get whipped up into believing watergate was a real thing it's that there was this strong consensus within the country and so it wasn't really that polarizers think now it was more on the extreme

1:06:59elements where it's very polarized you had the campus left is you have the black power movement you still have the clan around but it wasn't as polarized as people would think and the way our legislators worked into the way our politics electoral politics work it wasn't that polarized it became it's become more polarized in the mainstream politics in the in the way our legislature works the way our White House works the way the actual structure of politics since New Gingrich the contract from America in 1984 Bill Clinton's election early nineties it's been come more polarized and we're really we're far more polarized than we've been probably even though it's like a very different situation from the Civil War but census of war but we're not nearly as polarized then and he said would it take cultural total right wing cultural victory to move

1:08:00the country to right no I mean we've moved the country to right or at least to accepting a lot of our beliefs far more than we did in in the 2010s and look at what Trump's been able to do this term even though people think he's doing nothing he's doing a hell of a lot in his first term when he did like nothing in his first term because we were beholden to this immense left wing cultural power the issue is is that a lot of voters they prefer status quo they don't like to rock the vote and Trump is rocking the vote a lot and that makes them queasy and uncountable and they just want to return to status quo no rocking of the vote and a lot of voters alike that and due to the nature of America where there's a high quality of life you can find contentment here and prosperity is that people don't want to move to a direction that they view as too crazy and chaotic but we have moved I don't know if to the right but we've moved them to the center and something moving to a new

1:09:05direction but in some ways it's better than your early 2010s like I don't know if you want to return to the early 2010s I mean Bob a one two you know one you got a second term in the early 2010s you know Wilk was starting to build up at that time Trayvon Martin became a thing uh uh and the tech sphere was and social media was like even though it wasn't less political it was still conform to left wing dictates so I don't know if you really want to return to that time yes it's saying or less polarized but even today among normies still less hyper politicized than they were four four or five years ago that might be changing a little bit with the ice protest but I think it's just that people who are very political engage are now even more polarized than they've ever been while the center is just kind of you know much more content and much more our less focus on politics than they were in the 2010s in early 2020s which is for the rights benefit

1:10:11so those other questions now for okay we're or not okay we're we got to go to uh Kmax Kmax something about the uh the the outing that Fuentes and uh Andrew Tate and Clavicular all in out on which that's all that Twitter has been talking about for a while and he said uh uh will your book be discussed in the personality of performance nature of some and the all right um this little bit different in the personality of performance nature what that was I thought I was just like humorous content uh you know it was bizarre but uh people were really worth talking about it um you know if it's a political thing it's like really idiotic but like for everyone else besides Fuentes they're all entertainers in that in that in who went out and it's not surprisingly going to do transgressive entertainment there and it's also bizarre that like only like three of them are white so uh you know who were in the

1:11:11outing so it is what it is some of these people uh I find funny like I find Clavicular and Andrew Tate funny I don't fully approve of anything of Andre Tate sometimes it has interesting thoughts sneak out not a fan of but whatever their entertainers so this is what they do this is something very different from the performance of nature of the online right and what I had discussed it in the old right because a lot of those guys they got online and this is something different because this is just something that they're like they're doing something for entertainment and doing something for Clix at a club you know it's a detention gaining thing so it's a little bit different the you know the performance nature that we talk about the old right where these guys would just like imagine that they are Nazis and it's like 1932 Germany and like you know this type of of of fantastical view of politics that's completely disconnected from what the real world around them uh I do discuss that a bit but I don't really go too much in the personality types in the like

1:12:15drama I try to stay above the drama and depersonalize it and just describe the story as is because there's a lot of taudary dirt and stuff and I try to not be uh you know it's not a gossip book there is a really funny gossip book with black pill of the Ellie Reeve book which is a really funny book uh I liked it some people really didn't like it but there's so much funny uh scandal mongering in it and like really describing how pathetic a lot of these people are but that's not my book my book uh has a stays on a higher plane so to speak so we do talk about the performance nature but that's very different from the uh Miami club outing of these influencers it's a completely different thing so I think that leaves us I'm gonna do a double check for um for uh for our good friend LK Rick so yeah I think that's just for okay Rick if I somehow missed you hit me uh harass me

1:13:20and I will get to you on Wednesday for some reason me with the uh learning the questions uh pair it back but we've got a question from him he said Scott on last week I got into an unfortunate auto bishap where the other party were Mexicans I'm on harm but my car is food barred can you give a PSA about the storage of Mexicans behind the wheel oh you know all minorities behind the wheel are dangerous you always have to worry is like if you see this like the vehicle and you look behind you like who's driving the car it's like oh it's a white male I think okay it's fine but like anything beyond a white male you have to worry about it's like uh you know it's a white female you're like they're too cautious they don't know what to do Asian drivers or like that they don't know like I don't know what to do um a lot of black drivers are very risky you'll do stuff I got in a lot of accidents in college from like black drivers they just not paying attention full pension they'll just run a stop sign and so that's the same with a lot of I think a lot of immigrants is that you know it takes a lot of time to learn the standards of American driving

1:14:22and a lot of these guys that they're full on immigrants they don't understand the nature of American driving and in the third world driving is very dangerous it was very dangerous when we first had it here you know because we didn't have like all the safety precautions and establish norms with it and so there always be kids getting run over car accidents were really bad but we changed that over time but with a lot of these immigrants who are coming from the third world they are not with these standards they drive drunk they refuse to follow the law so yes it's you have to deal with that on the road they're much more present more of a danger on the road and we're seeing that also with these immigrant truck drivers that they don't follow the rules the road like native foreign truck drivers do so yes you've got to watch out be with immigrants behind the wheel because they're not they're not going to follow the same standards that we do it takes a lot of time and growing up you know driving one of their parents seeing how they drive

1:15:22and their their norms that are following letting people in and that stuff and the way they drive and that's parrot placed down to you but if you don't have that experience uh you're going to be uh uh uh more of a danger on the road so that is it for other respected today i'm going to be back with more great content this week so be on look out for that so until next time stay respected
