We are moving toward the national and political character of a Banana Republic. Truth is hard to find. The signal among the noise is buried deeply in rhetoric. Transparency to the people does not exist. We have developed a managerial and political class that has separated itself from the people. Lockstep lies are the norm.
The increasing lack of trust in American institutions is a major part of our political division.
we are seeing a smearing of the truth
like never before can anything be
trusted anymore before we get into this
I want to bring up our sponsor fathom
the good fathom the good is a High
School homeschooling curriculum designed
to teach clear thinking grounded in the
best of Western
Civilization children resist
radicalization by learning to think
along with the American Founders and
their predecessors in the western moral
and philosophical tradition I have
thoroughly been through this curriculum
and supported a 100% if you are looking
for High School curriculum for your kids
fathom the good can fill the requirement
for American history world history and
philosophy and best of all they can
learn wisdom against the world go to
fathom theeg good.com and try out one of
the sample courses all right I want to
go directly to a clip from Chuck Schumer
as he announces his support for kamla
Harris since President Biden's
announcement we've seen the Democratic
party swiftly coales behind vice
president camela Harris when I spoke
with her Sunday she said she wanted the
opportunity to win the nomination on her
own and to do so from the Grassroots up
okay not top down Okay so again here
this is the last thing that has happened
this is not what has happened kamla
Harris was put in by a few power players
in the Democrat Party who then went
around sold their case for Kamala to the
delegates when you have individuals like
AOC and an organization like black lives
matter Furious about the Democratic
process that has happened here with the
Democrat Party you have really pushed
the envelope now of course kamla Harris
could be elected president she may be
chosen by the people to become president
but she was certainly not chosen by the
people to be the nominee and she has
never built anything from the Grassroots
if you go back and look at any of her
history she was put into place by others
who had greater power she had less than
1% support in the Democrat Primary in
2020 she was perhaps their worst
candidate and now all of a sudden she's
amazing she is incredible it's also
funny that last week President Biden was
the worst thing there was everybody was
against him in the Democrat Party and
now all of a sudden he has an incredible
Legacy all of a sudden all of the media
turns and rallies around his legacy and
around the nomination of Kamala Harris
and around the possible nomination of K
Harris it's disgusting and by the way
this this is on both sides especially in
TV media I don't understand why people
watch the news on on television whether
it's on the left with CNN ABC NBC CBS
MSNBC Etc or if it's on the right with
Fox News and others it is so packaged it
is so commercial it is so obviously an
arm of propaganda it messages to the
lowest common
denominator to try and rally report
politically and the media probably is
the biggest problem with all of these
lies nobody trusts the media anymore and
they shouldn't you've got to pick and
choose where you get your information
from and be careful about it regardless
of which side of the aisle you're on
even those that are nonpartisan or
supposed to be nonpartisan you had gov
track right which keeps track of
Congress in their votes and their uh the
bills that they put forward Etc they had
Kam
as the most liberal and let's put down
what we really mean by that the most
left leaning senator in the Senate up up
until about a week ago when they removed
that and replaced it with a purple
putting her somewhere in the middle of
the left and the right making her look
like she's a moderate you can see here
when you go to go govtrack.us and you
look up what's trending vice president
kamla Harris and you you scroll down and
you see her ideological leadersh ship
chart now is shown as a purple triangle
that's somewhere in the middle anyone
who has followed her knows that she is
nowhere near the middle she's a strong
supporter of black lives matter she's a
strong supporter of an open border we're
getting to that in a minute and she's a
strong supporter of woke ideology and by
the way she's just an a single example
in everything that's going around her in
the media right now it's just a single
example of what's happened in the last
several months that that really just
makes our country look like a Banana
Republic to the world it's really very
concerning immigration is another issue
that comes up with kamla Harris and a
perfect example of more lies not small
lies huge lies erasing history changing
what used to be said front and center is
axios on immigration axios has moved
further and further to the left over the
last several years they used to be a
little bit more credible in what they
said but now you see what's going on
here and you see how how can anybody
believe what axio says this is what axos
is saying today right this is a tweet
they just put out the Trump campaign and
Republicans have tagged Harris
repeatedly with the bordar title which
she never actually had of course they're
trying to split hairs here but what's
hilarious is if you go back to a
previous post of theirs from the first
year of the Biden Administration here's
what they say axios again the number of
unaccompanied miners crossing the border
has reached crisis levels Harris
appointed by Biden as borders are they
use the exact term said she would be
looking at the root causes that drive
migration a a as if we need to look at
what the root causes are for migration
to the United States it's two things
it's poverty and an open border that's
what it is those two things drive people
to to migrate to the United States that
that's not a a a thing that you need to
go get a few phds in a room and figure
out what's going on I want to go back to
the Biden speech from just a few days
ago where he conceded and dropped out of
the race for president here's what he
said quote he decided I decided the best
way forward is to pass the torch to a
new generation end quote okay so so he
that's not giving the reason he's doing
it he's not do it because he wants to
give it to a new generation that's a
political statement right but he never
addressed the question of his age with
this right instead he says that it had
become clear to him that I quote I need
to unite my
party and therefore end quote and
therefore he's stepping aside right and
he also says this and this is going to
be something that is pushed very hard by
the Democrat campaign right and that is
that he was putting our de
democracy over his own ambition and this
is what everybody says they don't say
what that means but everybody knows what
the implication of that is that if you
choose Trump that you are not for
democracy you must be for tyranny and
that is what they're going to play
everything on if you choose Kamala
you're choosing
democracy now let's unravel that just a
little bit
here let's go back all the way to when
Trump was running in
2016 and how should a democracy run at
that point right when we're talking
about democracy we're talking about
participation from the citizens and the
ability to vote
right what did the Clinton campaign do
at that time well they came up with a
steel dossier remember the P dossier
Russia gate the FBI knew about this
stayed silent and that dossier was used
to put a fisa
wiretap on Trump's headquarters Campaign
Headquarters right that is way worse
than Watergate stealing a few documents
everybody knew it was a sham and they
did it anyway is that democracy when the
Clinton campaign was asked to provide
all of their cell phones and their
laptops what did they do with them they
destroyed all of them is that is that
for
democracy after Trump won there was a
constant cry to destroy Trump and his
administration not just a little one not
just a party spat but anything that
could be done to destroy him including
after he's out of office lawfare all of
the trials that were put up and and the
indictments and the accusations to try
and keep him away from the
presidency is that democracy
and the
Very and by the way is that
divisive they are going to go after
Trump harder than they ever have before
the assassination attempt doesn't matter
they will go harder than they have ever
gone before and they're very careful
this time by just talking about
democracy without
stating the fear of him being a tyrant
because they don't want to bring on
political violence that's going to go
away and the focus of trump
being a
tyrant and trying to take over the
government as
king is going to sit front and center in
the campaign against him now let's back
up a little bit further to the
assassination attempt I was in Pamplona
Spain at the time I was about to go
running with the bulls it was 4:30 a.m.
I had woke up because the day before we
had missed running with them that was
something I'll go over in another
episode uh so we got up very very very
early make sure that there was nothing
we were going to risk we got up at 4:30
5 minutes later after I wake up I get a
text from my wife saying Trump's been
shot well of course I start pulling up
all the information and looking at
everything and absorbing what I can in
the time that I
have but the ad hominum attacks the
character
assassination beyond anything I think
that we've
seen in our lifetimes
politically have helped lead to this
type of thing this type of an event this
assassination
attempt regardless of what you think
happened there whether it was a single
person or beyond the characterization of
President Trump has led to this just a
couple of weeks a week or two before
this happened President Biden said we
need to put a Target on Trump he said
those
words you know it's interesting is and
this has always been fascinating to me
you know one of Trump's Archen enemies
would be Mitt
Romney who tried to do everything he
could to uh have make sure that Trump
was not going to be president and not
president again did you know that he
voted along with Trump's positions and
policy four out of five
times so that means every time you
looked up at a new policy that was being
voted on almost always you would see
Romney voting along with the Trump White
House that's pretty close to where you
would be as an average of any
Republican so what is the issue here
it's not his policies if it was his
policies then Mitt Romney should be
fighting against
himself so we've got to separate those
things and what is so frustrating is
these ad hominum attacks from both
sides don't allow any room or very
little room for for policy and for
putting up a
platform wouldn't it be refreshing in a
debate a presidential debate if you
actually had a real debate over
policy where it could really be hashed
out I don't think we're going to get
much of that in the next few
months one of the major problems that we
get with these lies and with deception
here in in our time is because of social
media and because of you know what we
might call we've all become Silo
dwellers when I say silos I mean we get
silos of information so you know you can
choose your own newsletters your own uh
people to follow on social media on on
on X on Instagram and on Facebook
Etc and then you like those things that
you're getting and you hear you're
getting preached to as the qu
fire you follow Fox News on one side or
you follow all of the other a all of the
other you know three-letter alphabet
media outlets and you hear what you want
to hear over and over again that cannot
help but lead to more
divisiveness we are constantly being fed
back what we want to hear now back to ca
for a second uh this is something that
was written by Andrew Sullivan just
recently in fact this came out just
today in an article that's called the
Kamala
Chima and the cha is the the
mythological uh Beast
right right he they and everybody knows
this that's been around Kamala for any
time period or follow of her career
right he says the dem's weakest and
wokest candidate becomes the
nominee so this is going to be the
effort of the Democrats right how do we
show her as being strong they've already
really focused on her
prosecution I thought it was very
interesting that they brought her out in
very strong solidarity with Israel even
during the
Palestinian uh protesting in DC I will
say that was smart because she is a
radical and they need to show her as
being something else and she is the
wokest of any of the nominees
easily Biden you know has always been a
blue collar type of
democrat a liberal in the classical
sense kamla has always been woke and so
they're going to have to re put a put a
new narrative around
her because she will not get the
moderate votes now back to the
assassination attempt in the Secret
Service look at the information that we
received from cheel director cheel
right I I I mean just absolute garbage
nothing with a knowledge that there were
conspiracy theories spreading very
quickly there's a lot of unanswered
questions still
today very concerning
actually there was nothing offered to
offer peace of mind there that things
are under control that we know what is
happening and the people have
transparency the people don't have
transparency there is an elitist Class A
managerial class a political class
that has separated itself from the
people it didn't used to be that
way not to this
extent and they have a different
agenda than most Americans they want a
different lifestyle they want a certain
power and those elitists those that
managerial class all Highly Educated all
going through the religion of Academia
and indoctrinated to one degree or
another
have captured all of the institutions of
the United
States they have captured law for the
most part they have captured certainly
the universities and K to2
space unbelievable unbelievably
successful there they have captured the
media hook Lin and sinker they're
starting to capture the family as they
destroy the family with
identitarianism and woke
ideology of course when that goes we're
done they have captured in many places
religion and we can see the religious
divide that is happening in some of the
major denominations in the US and in the
west the methodists for example what's
happening with the Southern Baptist
convention just
recently and the
threats to their traditional
interpretation of scripture and
policy and another one that many would
have never thought of to begin with as
they have marched through the
institutions here is Big Business you go
back and look at Occupy Wall
Street where there were still big
businesses that were not on board with a
woke
agenda and then everything
changed in a world where the radicals
want to tear down American
Enterprise and democracy and
capitalism why hasn't there been a major
protest against against Wall
Street in the last 15
years because they captured them they
put in satellite offices Dei offices in
all of big business they instituted
policies for
ESG Black Rock and other major
investment firms came on board with the
woke
agenda helping to decide who would be
CEO of a company in what direction they
would take the company so if you've got
all of these institutions captured by
the same
virus the same
ideologies that are not from Middle
America and and blue collar
America and they run
everything how do you expect the people
to have trust and then you see
everything that's happened here just in
the last few months the last month the
last few weeks and we look like a banana
Republic with no
transparency no answers and you have to
ask yourself I believe you have to ask
yourself have our institutions been
captured to a point that creates a
massive Chasm between them and the
people I believe the people for the most
part still have certain American values
Western values Christian
values that have been lost at the
institutional level but once that fact
family
collapses then civilization
collapses and the institutions are just
the step away from the family what we're
watching right now is an absolute circus
and again it's on both sides and it goes
back further I mean I think to myself
often about George W bush and the
weapons of mass destruction give me a
break there was an agenda that was put
in place there they didn't care about
the people they didn't care about what
the citizens would think they lied they
lied so that a handful of powerful
people could get what they wanted and
set out an agenda that they thought for
themselves and their
morality would create a massive change
and by the way that has nothing to do
with the
soldiers that were involved with those
operations I think it's crucial for us
to be very aware of what is happening
around us and not to fall into despare
from the absolute BS that is being
spread everywhere right now election
year happens to bring out the worst of
all of this can I make a
recommendation and I know it's hard not
to do this because it's so centrally
focused but reduce your time on TV
news it
is TV news is a sickness
it is one of the most corrupt things
anywhere stay
aware Believe In Truth find the signal
among the noise and keep a strong hope
in the future thanks for listening
