 So I read Josh Hawley's talk from the National Conservative Movement. It's an interesting talk. I mean, much of it I agree with. Every time he attacks the left, I agree. Much of his talk was about manhood, what it means. Well, he never really said what it means to be a man. He talked about manly virtues, which are virtues. And I do think they're associated with masculinity. But he mainly spent the time, as usual, as what these people do, attacking the left's view and attempts of the left to bring down manhood, if you will, and masculinity, and the virtues of masculinity. And in that context, of course, he went after capitalism, the market economy. This is quoting from him. In this country, we are more than mere consumers. We are being the makers of great and mighty things, and we shall be again. So we're not anymore. We don't make great and mighty things anymore. We don't make, I don't know, iPhones. I guess they're made in China, technically. It's very, very Marxist materialist perspective. We don't make stuff anymore. I wonder how we consume so much. It's really an interesting question. How come we can consume so much if we don't make anything? I never understood how people think that works. I don't think Harley does this for votes. I don't think Harley is about the votes. I think Harley is an ideologue, or at least has become a consistent ideologue. He has figured out, certainly, when he ran for president, and not for president, when he ran for the Senate, he was already this. He was already arguing against individualism, wailing against classical liberalism. No, the thing about Josh Harley that you have to respect and the thing about Josh Harley that should make you really scared of Josh Harley is that he isn't just doing it for the votes. Marco Rubio is. Marco Rubio will just say whatever he thinks will get him elected. Ted Cruz is, although we'll see Ted Cruz is challenged. But Josh Harley is a true believer. He is super religious. He's super collectivist. He is dedicated to this conservative nationalism. He was dedicated to Trump. And he is the natural heir. As an intellectual to Trumpism, he will make it much more consistent. So Josh Harley is truly scary. And I fear there's a good chance he becomes president one day. And I think he's the kind of guy who could really do a lot of damage to this country. Deep, deep damage that will be very hard for this country to recover from. Yeah, Harley's different from Pence. He's much worse than Pence, much worse than Pence. He continues. He says the DC experts will say it's impossible. Better to outsource our production to China or Mexico or other places where labor is cheap. But free labor and slave labor should never be put to an even plane. Wait a minute, in Mexico, labor is slave labor? Does he really know what slave labor is? We could argue about some labor in China. But Mexico, slave labor, really? No, much worse than Biden. Much, much, much, much worse than Biden. Biden will not do lasting damage in the way that a Josh Harley could do lasting damage. Or in the way Trump did lasting damage to this country. He quotes Teddy Roosevelt as saying, I am for business, but I am for manhood first. And business is an adjunct to manhood. What does that mean? We must make every effort to restore vibrant manufacturing secretary in this country that can employ working men at living wages, wages that can feed a family and support a community. And we can start by requiring that at least half of all goods and supplies, critical to national security, be made in the United States. What is critical to national security? The Trump administration tried to claim that building cars was critical to national security. If that's true, everything is critical to national security. This is, I don't understand. I really don't understand this. Maybe you guys can enlight me. Maybe somebody in the super chat can enlight me. Don't you see that this is worse than Biden? Because this is from the right. That if this is what the right stands for, then there is no opposition to statism. And that makes it a million times worse. That Biden is just what the left has always been. But the right used to be about at least a semblance, lip service, to freedom, to markets. At least they gave it lip service. Now they don't. Now they're just the statist as the left, or almost the statist of the left. I think they're more statist than the left. And I think their statism was more powerful than the left. And you don't get that that is worse than the Biden form of statism, which is just one of the male leftism. It's stunning to me. It's stunning to me that instead of trying to save the right from the collectivists, from the fascists, from the religionists, from the statists, the nationalists, you want to join them because of your hatred of the left. That's just stunning, just stunning. It shows how shallow the base for individualism is, how shallow the foundation of those who advocate for individualism are when they can so easily flip, so easily turn their back on individualism, on freedom, on the founding fathers, on the very nature of this country, on the very basis of this country, to join his arm and link up as brothers with statists and nationalists and collectivists. Because the left is worse. It's what has made me so utterly pessimistic over the last five, six years to see the small, but what I thought was committed, individualist movements out there, just lose it, lose it and embrace collectivism, or embrace the collectivists. Lose it and forget what positive values we're actually fighting for. Instead of dedicating oneself completely to what you're fighting against and teaming up with some of our worst enemies. It's what I've been riling against and trying to convince you against for five years. It's why I have lost so many subscribers. It's why so few people, ultimately in the big picture, watch these videos. It's because there is no, there's nobody dedicated anymore to individualism, to the positive, to capitalism, to freedom. Again, to the founding fathers, the passions of hatred of the left are so powerful, so strong, so overwhelming that to hell with the founding fathers, to hell with the constitution, to hell with the Declaration of Independence, to hell with capitalism and freedom and liberty and markets, let's embrace these guys just so we can fight the devil on the left. So we team up with the devil on the right. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran Book Show. If you'd like to support the show, we make it as easy as possible for you to trade with me.
