 see, I want to look at the ones that are related to what we're talking about. How can the left get culturally more powerful and politically less powerful? Doesn't it flow from culture? And where can we purchase tickets to your John Mackie debate? So the left has to get more politically powerful and you can see that not so much in the Democratic Party getting more political powerful. It hasn't. You can see it in the fact that the Republican Party has become like Democrats. Again, you saw it today. You can see it in the fact that the Republican Party has shifted way to the left. You can see it in the fact that Trump was indeed, in terms of economic policy, a leftist candidate. In terms of trade policy, a leftist candidate. I would even argue that in terms of immigration policy, he was much more consistent with the Democrats of old than with Republicans of older Ronald Reagan kind of Republicans. So the manifestation of the left dominance and the culture is that the entire culture, including the entire political spectrum, drifts in their direction. And that happens on the things that are less controversial. Like nobody with a few exceptions like me and a few of you, nobody is passionate about capitalism and freedom. People though are very passionate about cultural issues. They're very passionate about abortion. They're very passionate about race. They're very passionate about what they consider their way of life. They're very passionate about gay marriage. And as the left starts dominating those issues because they've dominated the culture, the people who start opposing the left are not opposing them on grounds of liberty and freedom and capitalism. They start opposing them on the cultural issues. And the more racist the left becomes, critical race theory, BLM, identity politics, the more racist the right becomes, the more violent the left becomes, the more violent the right becomes. And because the left dominates the intellectual world, because the left dominates the media, because the left dominates the debate, and it does, the right is left as just responsive. All the right does is respond to the left. It's just, it's, there's no, there's no intellectual meat on the right to fight the left, so they just react, count it the left. You know, my friend Bradley Thompson is engaged in this massive intellectual battle right now with BAP, Bronze Age Poverty. There's a, there's a man, Hashim is a man, who calls himself Bronze Age Poverty. Now, remember what the Bronze Age is. The Bronze Age, the Bronze Age is an age of muscle. It's an age of force. It's an age of brutality. It's an anti-intellectual age. It's an anti-ideas age. And Bronze Age Poverty is gaining ground, gaining ground among intellectuals, among right-wing kind of political scientists and right-wing young people. What the alt-right used to be has morphed, or at least a portion of it, has morphed into adoration of this Bronze Age Poverty. And he is a Poverty, and obviously he braces that, and he's Bronze Age because he believes in muscle, not mind. He rejects the mind. He rejects all of the advancements, the achievements of the last 250 years. He rejects the enlightenment. He rejects capitalism. He rejects liberty and freedom. He wants force, power, muscle. He'll deny much of what I said, but that's the bottom line of what he stands for. Anyway, Brad Thompson has taken him on, and has written a number of essays, and you can find him on Twitter, and you can find Bradley C. Thompson from Clemson University. He's got a stack. He's published these articles. They're excellent attacks on BAP. But what's stunning is the amount of support BAP gets, this primitive, barbaric, materialistic mentality, the amount of support it gets on the right. And indeed, last night, one of the things that the BAP crowd was celebrating was the Republicans lost in Georgia. What BAP wants is chaos. What many on the right want, on the far right want, is an opportunity for revolution, an opportunity for their muscle, for their force, for the ultimate embracing of some form or another, fascism. They want every opportunity for that. They want the chaos. And they love Trump, not because necessarily they agreed with anything Trump said, but because he was an agent of chaos. And that is, that is what we're heading. We're heading towards people who want chaos on the left, the BLM and Tifa crowd, to people who want chaos on the right, the alt-right, the make America great again, forenters crowd, Nick forenters, you can look him up, the racist and the BAP crowd, the white supremacists of various degrees and means and applications. They want chaos. They want anarchy. They want revolution. Now I don't think they have the balls. I don't think they have the courage. They might work on a gym a lot, but big muscles don't translate into the ability to use them. I don't think they have the balls, the courage to actually engage in revolution. I think they're the ultimate cowards. But that's what they want. They want bras in the street. They want to see things burn because they're nihilists. You've got nihilists of the left and nihilists of the right. And what Donald Trump's presidents have done is brought all the nihilists to the forefront, all the nihilists to the front of what is going on. I can't remember what the question was. So yeah, the left has dominated the culture. And what you're seeing is the left dominating culture and influencing politics of left and right and impacting the far left and impacting the far right as a counter movement to the far left. Where can you get tickets to John Mackey debate? I will let you know as soon as I know. We still don't have the proposition down. I'm expecting John to call me or to email me any day now so that we can nail down the proposition. But the debate will be, unless something happens, February 18th in the villages in Florida, and there will be tickets. And I'll let you know on the show and on my social media pages where you can get those tickets. Okay, I've never liked Trump, but his calm down and go home message was especially horrific. Yes, it was. Can't believe anyone can believe this guy. I've been saying that for five years. I can't believe anybody likes this guy, but they do. People I respect do. But yes, I thought his message was particularly horrific. You know, he said, I understand you people. Your claims are absolutely right. This election was stolen from me. Well, it was stolen. If stolen means force was used against you. Well, the only way to redress force is with force, right? So he's basically egging them up, encouraging them on. Thank you, Emilio. Thank you, Veni, Vidhi, Vidicci. Something like that. 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 men's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, women's 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 roads.
