 Now of course Because I'm criticizing Trump and because I agree with the left that Trump is a racist. I'm a racist now I'm sorry. I'm a I'm a leftist. That's why I'm sucking up to the left But that is pathetic Trump is playing to the racial prejudices of his Supporters whether Trump himself is a racist or not who cares What Trump is doing is he's fueling xenophobia Racism the worst kind of nationalism Among his supporters and it is growing and it is going to become a significant substantial powerful political force in this country Racism is when you attribute to individual when you judge an individual not based on who he is not baseless in individual characteristics It's when you judge a person based on where they came from based on the color of their skin Bathe in a ethnic ethnic background and that was all over Trump's tweets and it's all over the chant sent her back and I know you know, I know this is the way you fight the left. That's okay That's okay. And and the solution to the left is the authoritarian right because that's all you're gonna have left If this is how you fight the left if the if the if the choice in America today the Trump is Manifesting is between a crazy anti-American socialist left and a crazy anti-American nationalistic right and You might prefer the nationalistic right on the socialist left But that is a horrible horrible choice and it's not a choice that I would stand by and it's the choice that as somebody mentioned on the chat let it pick up describes in The dim hypothesis and it's the choice that it seems that America is moving towards and that is the authoritarianism of The right the right as the collectivistic way Somebody saying I'm naive no The people who naive are you the people are naive would think that Trump is benign that people are naive Would think the Trump is just it's just an anti-left But he's really for free markets and free trade and individual freedom and and I'm gonna talk I think tomorrow. I'll do a show on on the new conservative nationalist movement They just had a conference national conservatism conference in Washington, DC last weekend. I'll talk about that tomorrow and If you think that is a world you would rather live in rather than the world the leftist creating Then you are nuts and and by the way, this is always been how authoritarians and fascists have risen to power You know Hitler was an antidote to the communists the communists were gonna take over the communists were the biggest threat They'd been a Russian Revolution the Soviet Union was was was growing in its in its influence over the world and People voted for Hitler as an antidote to the rise of socialism in Europe It was the anti-left that's and I'm not saying Trump is Hitler. I'm saying Trump is the precursor to fascism He is leading us in that direction, but it's always that way. It's always You know, you get a dictator from the right because The left is so horrible and we need we need to fight the left and the only way to fight the left is to give immense power to the rights and That is just That is just a a utter. I mean, it's just horrific in terms of in terms of what? What the future holds for America and I'm seeing more and more of this that the only two alternatives in American politics today are Manifest by Donald Trump, which means a movement towards authoritarianism and In more control and collectivism and nationalism on the right and on the left, you know Pick your poison or AOC Elizabeth Juan Bernie Sanders or nothing like Biden and nothing's never win Not in the long run. They might win an election But ideologically they never wins and nothing and and and I'll talk tomorrow about this attempt this active attempt to Create an intellectual movement Around Trump's ideas and that's the national conservative movement, which just had its inaugural Conference this last weekend in Washington, DC and and and made a big splash and we'll talk about that tomorrow You know, you've been talking about the bankruptcy of our modern intellectuals and I know that in your most recent book This is really a manifesto to a group that you call the new intellectuals But you mind telling me just who they are in your own words and how they differ from the old style intellectuals Since the old style the presently existing intellectuals have declared their own bankruptcy by abandoning the intellect What we need today what I called a 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 the intellect Not by feelings wishes wins or mystic revelations Any man or woman who values his life and who does not give want to give in to today's cult of the spare cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist
