 The alt-right is strong, yes, very strong because a lot of the conservative movement as I've illustrated in past shows, particularly the show on the conservative civil war, the conservative movement and the show on the conservative nationalism conference, the conservative movement is moving towards the alt-right, not the other way around, not pulling the alt-right to be moderate or moderate. No, the standard moderate conservatives are now becoming much more like the alt-right. So they are seeing success and that success is motivating these people to action. Now, it's more than that. Part of the success that they're seeing is the general cultural trend towards identity politics. Now, started by the left, well, I don't know if started by the left, remember racism has existed in this country since the beginning. So racism, the ultimate form of identity politics, you know, we live through slavery, we live through, you know, the South through the 1960s through the civil rights movement. So identity politics in the form of racism has always been a part of this country. But in the modern form, the left has turned this into a real ideological issue. You are your race. And by the very being white, you are a racist. So the left has created this culture of, I'd say, micro-identity politics. And the right has recently said, more and more people on the right have recently said, oh, we can play this game. We're adopting identity politics, too, and we're going to create our tribe. So what you have today are tribes, tribes of people. And the whole mentality is a tribal mentality that dictates how people should behave. And that, again, has created an environment in which I need to fight for my tribe. I need my tribe is under threat. There are people coming here who are going to replace me. They're going to destroy my tribe. Those people might be Democrats. Those people might be brown-skinned or black-skinned or yellow-skinned. But they're going to replace us. And it's a war. And everything is presented out there as a war. A war, you pick up guns and you go shoot people. And these people think we're at war. Now, I'm going to get to this. There's a deeper psychological issue going on here. And I talked about that psychological issue in a show I did around school shootings with Brad Thompson, Professor Brad Thompson. I don't know, a year and a half ago, two years ago, you can find it. It was on the school shootings. Just put Bradley Thompson, you're on book. And we talked about those psychological philosophical issues. And I'm going to get to those. But first I want to talk about these political issues. And I want to actually read you from the manifesto that this guy wrote. Because it's really revealing. Because he uses so many of the slogans, so many of the keywords that have become a part of the culture. And I think one of the real psychological issues that I think is at the heart of what is going on today in America is revealed by this manifesto. And that is the dominance of one emotion above all. One emotion above all. And it's an emotion that can create havoc in a person's psychology. And create havoc in a person's life. And that emotion is fear. It's fear. And we'll go through this manifesto and you'll see fear everywhere. And fear of so many things. But in some sense, it's fear of all the conventional things that our politicians are telling us to be afraid of. That our teachers are telling us to be afraid of. That our professors are telling us to be afraid of. That the internet is telling us to be afraid of. Fear. And a crippling fear. A fear that leaves you impotent. Oh, sorry. It's Christ Church, not Church Christ. That's my ignorance about geography and I guess theology or whatever. It's Church Christ in New Zealand. I've actually been to Church Christ. Church Christ, not Christ Church. Anyway, Christ Church, not Church Christ. Sorry. All right, so fear. So let's look at what he says in the manifesto. And he's very clear about his motivation, right? He says, in general, I support the Church Christ, the Christ Church. I don't know why I do that. The Christ Church shooter and his manifesto. This attack, and by the way, this manifesto, the pastor shooter manifesto, much clearer, much more straight to the point, much shorter than the Christ Church shooter's manifesto. This attack is... This is what he writes. This attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas. So, no doubts here what this is about. He is responding to an Hispanic invasion of Texas. Now, if you think in terms of invasion, he is defending... He is out there defending Texas. He's a patriot. That's how he sees himself. That's how he presents himself. He's at the vanguard of patriots, seeing the threat and going and dealing with it. Now, who uses invasion? Southern invasion or invasion of the southern border? Well, it's filled. Our culture is filled with it. It comes from the president on down. The culture is filled with this language of invasion. And if there's really an invasion going on, then hey, we'd better get armed. We'd better go out and stop them. We'd better go out then, fix it. Somebody wants me to buy a chalupa. All right. Somebody asked, are mass shootings not happening in Europe because of gun control? No, I don't think that's the primary reason. Although, because there are other means in which you can kill a lot of people if you want to other than guns. There are fewer, significantly fewer mass shootings in Europe. When you look at statistics, beware, because they often take one occurrence. There was one big occurrence of a mass shooting in Europe, in Norway. And that kind of skews a lot of the statistics. He killed over 70 people. And by the way, motivated by exactly the same thing. You know who he killed? He killed leftists. He went to a youth camp for leftists and he killed a bunch of kids because they were leftists. That was in Norway, I can't remember the year, but quite a while ago. By the way, he, that guy was an inspiration to the Christchurch shooter, who is now an inspiration to the El Paso shooter, which is the sick continuation of, you know, inspiration from inspiration, from sick person to sick person, from evil person to evil person. Now it's true that in Europe, it's harder to get a gun. So it would be harder to execute on a mass shooting. You could probably get it illegally. And certainly the Islamists have managed to get them. But there are other ways to kill people. And Europe just has, Europe, I think, has, does not have, does not have a culture of fear to the extent that we do of exactly the same thing in the same way, and we'll talk about that. But it also doesn't have, it doesn't have the, I'm going to do something about it, attitude that Americans do. Americans have the attitude of, we're going to go and get them. We're going to go and, you know, we're going to go and, and, and, we're going to go and defend ourselves. Europeans are like, yeah, okay, whatever. I mean, I don't want to insult Europeans, but Europeans are much more passive. The fall is action oriented. Americans are action oriented. So when there's a threat, when they're afraid, they go and do something about it. All right. So he says the attack is a response to the Hispanic invasion of taxes. He says, I'm simply, and I'm skipping through this. I'm simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by the invasion. Now replacement is something that you keep hearing. And by the way, the replacement language is language that was found quite significantly. In the manifesto that was written by the nationalist conservatives of first things, the magazine first things, and in the conference on conservative nationalists. So the idea of replacement is now becoming part of the language of the new conservative movement. So this idea of being replaced is not standard stuff. Cultural and ethnic replacement, which is exactly what these new conservatives are talking about. Not only is this inspiring people out there to go and shoot, there's now an entire intellectual, in quotes, at least, movement to justify, not to justify the shooting, to justify the idea of replacement that it needs to stop. I mean, he talks about, and then he says, okay, so there's political reasons. And actually, the political reasons are short. But mainly, first he says, look, the problem in America is corporations. Why? Corporations want cheap labor. So corporations import immigrants. And corporations have both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in their grips. Corporations run this country. So there's your anti-corporate kind of leftist. But anti-corporate is on the right. I remember Taka Carlson at the conservative nationalist conference doing a talk on how corporations hate your family, something like that, or the enemy of your family. So here we are. Again, blame the corporations left and right. There's no disagreement here. And he says, the problem is going to be that the more Hispanics coming to this country, the more, and the Democrats are basically handing them goodies, that basically they're going to turn this country into a country run by Democrats. The heavy Hispanic population in Texas will make us a Democratic stronghold. And if we lose Texas and have a Hispanic population, the Democrats will win every presidential election forever. And the Democrats, he doesn't say this, Democrats are evil. And therefore we need to do anything in our power to stop the Democrats from winning. And therefore we should shoot people in order to discourage more Hispanics from coming here. He says pro-corporation equals poor immigration. And he says, but some fraction within the Republican Party don't prioritize corporations over the future. So he prefers the Republicans over the Democrats. He says, at least with Republicans, the process of mass immigration and citizenship can be greatly reduced. But we'll see that his real concern is not really political. It's not really political because then he has a long section. So we're afraid of Democrats and we're afraid of immigrants voting for Democrats. He does have a line here that is interesting. He says, the increasingly anti-immigration rhetoric of the right is in a cause immigrants to vote for the left. And he's right. He's right. Then he says, we've got some big economic problems. Not only are we got automation coming that's going to take all our jobs. Half of the jobs are going to go. But then immigrants are going to take the rest. He says immigration can only be detrimental to the future of America. Continued immigration will make one of our biggest issues of our time, automation, so much worse. Half of American jobs will be lost to automation. The less dependent and then he goes on and he says what we need. Now notice again, how he's picking up on all these aspects of the culture. What we need, he says, is a UBI, which is really important that we get a UBI. The problem is that if we have a lot of immigrants coming in, then you're going to need to pay all of them UBI. And then UBI becomes unaffordable. So not only are immigrants going to take our jobs, but immigrants are also going to make UBI non-economical. And therefore we won't get universal basic income. I mean, wow. I mean, he's reading everything. This guy has read a lot. He's taken all these pieces from the left and right, all the scam-ungering. And he's incorporating it into his thinking. This person is afraid of everything. And he says, yeah, it's true. The first generation immigrants, they do the jobs we Americans don't want to do. The dirty jobs. But he says their children don't want that. Their children go for the skilled jobs. And now their children are taking our jobs. They're taking Americans' jobs. So it's a second generation that's a problem. Because they're taking the jobs of good old Americans. And automation is good, he says. Again, he's just rambling this section. Because it'll eliminate the need for new migrants. So we don't need to bring migrants in. Because all those low-skilled jobs will be done by machines. I mean, just a mishmash. A mishmash. And then he says. So, you know, automation, UBI, all of that stuff. And then he brings in the environment. And he says, and on top of all this, we're destroying the environment of our country. Now, he doesn't bring up global warming. But he's destroying the environment of our country. We're decimating the environment. And it's going to be a burden for future generations. We're over-harvesting resources. The freshwater is being polluted. Consumer culture is creating thousands of tons of unnecessary plastic waste and electronic waste. And we're not recycling enough. Auburn's sprawl is creating inefficient cities. And that necessarily destroys millions of acres of land. Trees, we use so much paper towels, he says. We're destroying huge amount of trees because we use paper towels. Exact opposite, by the way. The more paper towels you use, the more trees there will be. The more paper towels you use, the more trees you will be. Actually, the more you recycle paper, the fewer trees there are. The more you recycle paper, the fewer trees there will be. Paper is wood. Wood is trees. Trees are a what? A resource that you can grow. So the more demand there is, the more trees there will be planted. The less demand there is, the fewer trees there will be planted. Anyway, just thought I'd throw that in. Government's not willing to deal with any of these problems because the government is controlled by corporations, you know, by these, and, you know, corporations like immigrants because they have more consumers and it's a bigger market and then there's more pollution, and then the world, the whole world, you know, our life, our future generations are destroyed. So what we need is fewer people in America. What we need is a shrinking population because then we can save the environment. I mean, he's picking up all the talking points of left and right. Then he goes to the whole section where he describes the gear he's going to use, the guns he's going to use in order to do the shooting and the description is pretty good in terms of, I think this is the actual equipment he actually used. Then he says, you know, there's going to be a reaction to what I do. He says the Hispanic population is willing to return to their home countries if given the right incentive. He says one of the things that happened, and he's right, is that millions of migrants have returned home. They've made some money here or the jobs went away because, what, because of the recession, the Great Recession, and Hispanics went back home. He says this is great because this shows that if you give them the right incentive, like no jobs, they'll go back home. So now he says an incentive that myself and many other patriotic Americans will provide. Now that should send a chill down your spine. That should send a chill down your spine. Basically what he's saying is, I'm going to go out and shoot people, other patriotic Americans go out and shoot people, Hispanics, and we're going to make sure to let the world know, to let the Hispanic world know that if they come to the United States, we're going to shoot them. I mean that is just, that is sheer evil, disgusting, horrific, evil. And yet, and yet, you know, he believes that he is the beginning of a real movement or he's part of a real movement that is going to have an impact here. Notice one of the differences between this kind of terrorism and this is terrorism. What's he trying to do? This is the absolute definition of terrorism, by the way. He's trying to achieve a political goal, reduce immigration through terrorizing the population. This is exactly what terrorism is. Terrorize the population in order to achieve a political goal. In this case, reduced immigration. The difference between this terrorism and Islamic terrorism is Islamic terrorism for the most part is more organized. It's got umbrella organizations and it's got lots of support organizations. This, so far as we know, is completely people inspired by a certain ideology of white supremacy and anti-immigration and ethnic cleansing and all of this stuff, inspired by a certain ideology. But it's not organized and promoted, the violence is not promoted and not kind of dict, what would they call it? It's not commanded. He says, this will also make the elites that run corporations realize that it's not in their interest to continue to piss off Americans because we're not going to take the streets with guns and we're going to shoot them up. So you corporate leaders, you CEOs, pay attention. Then he says, you know, I have some personal reasons for this. He says, my whole life I've been preparing, and this is very key, I think, to the motivation. My whole life I've been preparing for a future that currently doesn't exist. The job of my dreams will likely be automated. Hispanics will take control of the local and state government of my beloved Texas, changing policy to better suit their needs. They will turn Texas into an instrument of a political coup which will hasten the destruction of our country. The environment is getting worse by the year. If you take nothing else from this document, remember this, inaction is choice. Inaction is choice. He writes further down, are European comrades don't have the gun rights needed to repel the millions of invaders that plague their country? Hey, but we do. If our country falls, he says it will be the fault of traders like me. Me, Iran. Because I'm pro-immigration, so I'm a traitor. And I'm certainly anti the evil that this guy represents. The argument that mass murder is okay when it is state sanctioned is absurd. He says I'm just defending the country. And the fact that I didn't get a proof of the government to go shoot people. And he's right. This is no idiot. This is a small dude. There's a statement in a Charlie Chaplin movie. Something like Charlie Chaplin movie of all movies. He's got one serious movie about a serial killer, Charlie Chaplin does. And it's a talkie, so it's not a silent movie. And in that there's a trial scene, so he's the mass murder. He kills a lot of people. And he says something alike when political leaders kill thousands or millions of people. We built statues in their name. They're considered great heroes. But when individuals do it, they're considered murderers. And they are executed or put on trial. And there's truth in that. There's truth in that. Think of all the wars. Think of all the people dying for nothing. Because some political leader decided that it was the right thing to do. But murder is murder. And this guy is saying, I'm going to commit murder in the name of patriotism, in the name of the flag, in the name of America. And then of course comes the part of what is really going on here. He writes, I'm against race mixing. Because it destroys genetic diversity, which is nonsense, and creates identity problems. Also, identity problems is crucial here. Also, because it's completely unnecessary and selfish. Racial diversity will disappear as either race mixing or genocide will take place. And he says, that's not good. We don't want racial diversity to go away. I'm reading from the manifesto. Yes, reading from the manifesto. Divide America into a confederacy of territories with at least one territory for each race. And then he says, don't blame Trump for this. He actually writes this, right? Read this. My ideology has not changed for several years. He was a young kid, so I don't know how much several years is. My opinion on automation, immigration, and the rest predates Trump and his campaign for president. The media will probably call me a white supremacist anyway and blame Trump's rhetoric. Then he says, and I read this to you already, many people think that the fight for America is already lost. They couldn't be more wrong. This is just the beginning of the fight for America in Europe. I am honored to head the fight to reclaim my country from destruction. He also writes a whole section here about how he wants to die and he doesn't want to be caught. And of course, we know he got caught and how miserable he's going to be if he gets caught and so on. So I hope I'm glad he wasn't killed. I'm glad he was caught. I'm glad he gets to be miserable. I'm glad he gets to see his parents' reaction. I'm glad he gets to read everybody's reaction. I'm glad he'll go to court and face his accusers. I'm glad he'll face his victims. I'm glad he gets to suffer slowly and I hope they fry him. Luckily, I'm not a great fan of the death penalty. But in a case like this, when it's slam dunk, I'm a big fan. And Texas still has the death penalty, so they are going to fry him. So what do we get out of this manifesto? A man who is afraid, who is afraid that his dreams cannot come true. Afraid that the life he projected into the future cannot be his life. Why is he afraid? Because of all the bromides we hear from our politicians on left and right. Because immigrants are going to take his job. Because immigrants are going to change the culture. Because the immigrants are going to get Democrats elected and Democrats are evil. Because the environment is collapsing and human beings cannot live. We'll not be able to live in this environment in the future. Because his job is going to be lost to automation. Because his race is going to be lost to mixed marriages and the mixture of the races. What he calls, he muses the word genocide, not in the sense of genocides of the past. But in the sense of what I've talked about in the past, the white genocide idea. And the white genocide idea doesn't necessarily just mean going out and shooting whites. It means intermarriage. Intermarriage is part of the white genocide story. Oh my God, they're not going to be whites anymore. So his race, his identity, and he talks about identity, right? Is going to go away. In other words, his world is being destroyed by all these forces. Of course corporations are evil because they promote these forces. Corporations are evil because they bring in immigrants. Corporations are evil because they encourage automation. Corporations are evil because they make the demise of his dreams. Of the American dream. Of American identity. Disappear and go away. And what is left? Nothing. So this idea, this idea of fear. Fear is crippling. Fear is demoralizing. Fear is, I can't take it anymore. And what do we always do? What do good demagogues do? They encourage fear. You see it on the left. Oh, the world's going to end in 12 years unless we have a green new deal. You see it on the right. America as we know it will end if these immigrants are still allowed to come in here from Hispanic countries. We see it from economists in quotes. Automation is going to destroy jobs. They're all going to go away. Now I've dealt with each one of these things separately. I've had shows on each one of these things and showed that they are wrong. We must fear everything. Our world as we know it is ending. And patriotism demands, we are told. Patriotism demands that we take our guns and go and defend America. That's them. That's what's going on. And this fear cannot be challenged. Because the tool to challenge fear is what? What is the tool that we use? To challenge fear, to overcome fear, to understand fear, to move on. It's reason. Reason. An orientation towards reality. An orientation towards fact collecting. Integration of fact. Embracing new knowledge. But it's not just knowledge. It's our conviction to gain knowledge. It's our ability to gain knowledge. It's our ability to differentiate between knowledge and falsehoods. It's the idea of true and false. And the capacity of the human mind. The capacity of our reasoning mind. Our capacity as individuals to focus our mind to discover the truth. Because the truth is liberated. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason. By intellect. Not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence. And does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist broods.
