 What is the walkaway movement? I mean, until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of the walkaway movement, and I don't know how many of you have, but the walkaway movement is a movement that, I mean, I don't know if it's a movement, but it's a phenomena on YouTube primarily, where people have basically given up on the left and have abandoned the Democratic Party and the leftists. And what they're doing is they're posting videos explaining why they have given up on the left and the fact that they're walking away from the left. Many of them, I guess, are becoming Republicans or more of the right, but many of them are just, I think, recognizing they have no affiliation, but they are abandoning the left. And, whoops, we lost Jennifer there, so I'm not sure what happened. Maybe she'll dial back. So this is people walking away from the left, the people who primarily I'd say over issues related to free speech, over issues related to just generally the nuttiness of the nihilistic left. The people that are abandoning, you know, abandoning the nihilism, but also abandoning the wackiness, the intersectionality, the pandering to anything, any supposed oppressed group has. I think post-Cavanaugh, some additional people joined the walkaway, supposedly the walkaway movement. Now, I have no idea, and I don't think anybody has an idea how big this is. There are a lot of videos, there's a lot of retweeting on Twitter. For a while, there were rumors that I think the left spread that the retweets on Twitter were Russian bots, or I don't know, maybe not Russian bots, maybe Chinese bots, who knows whose bots they were. But people have done, it looks like people have done some research and that's not true. There was just a lot of retweeting. But again, it's hard to tell how big this is and it's hard to tell who's retweeting and it's hard to tell exactly what's going on because you're dependent on watching the videos and counting them. So it's not a good, but I would say this, I suspect that there are a lot of these people. And I'm not sure why it's been called a walkaway. I guess the first video was by a guy who defined the movement as the walkaway movement and people have picked up the hashtag. It's hashtag, you'll get up on Twitter, hashtag walkaway. But I identified this phenomena well before the walkaway movement. I identified it probably what is it? Three years ago, two and a half years ago. When I first did the Dave Rubin show, and of course Dave Rubin, if you will, is the first walkaway and he's done a video about why he left the left. And when I did the Dave Rubin show two and a half years ago, the response I got was so overwhelmingly positive. The number of Twitter followers, the number of people who started following me was so large. I mean, we're talking about well over a thousand new people just signed onto my account, both on Facebook and Twitter, and it was huge. And these were not people who had necessarily read Ayn Rand. These were not people who were objectivists. These were people who for the most part, former leftists, but had a respect for reason and science. And I've been saying for a long time now that in my view, probably our best audience out there in terms of if you were converting or in terms of bringing on on board to our ideas are people on the left who are not the nihilist left or not the wacky left or not the crazy left or not the the the egalitarian left, but people on the left who have a still have a respect for science and reason and who have not identified themselves with the right primarily because they view the right as religious. They view the right as dogmatic. They view the right as anti reason, anti science, and also because they lack an understanding of economics and the principles of individual rights and other important political principles. But I think that if you accept reason, even if you have a false definition of reason, but if you accept the idea of reason, then you can we can work with you at least a certain percentage of those people can be worked with. If your whole basis for knowledge of the world out there is faith, if your whole basis for knowledge out there is a is a dichotomized mind in which accepts faith and a big part of it and accepts reason I guess when they go to work, but it doesn't have this this commitment to reason, it's much harder so I've always said that there's an element within the left call it center left pro reason pro science. I call it the Dave Rubin audience, or another way to think about it is the intellectual dark web. I mean think about most of the people until in the intellectual dark web are people who in a sense of signed up to walk away like I've seen brothers and many of these people. They're not that they become objectives that certainly have not. Right they're not even capitalist, but they have rejected the wackiness of the left. And for the most part they even reject the Democratic Party for supporting the wackiness of the left. So you're seeing an intellectual dark web, which was the precursor to walk away. Rubin who was the precursor for walk away and I think what the left is doing right now and I think this explains Trump. But it also explains walk away and it also explains I think a real opportunity for objectivist is the left is so nutty is so wacko is so post modernist crazy that they are basically rejecting or they are turning away a lot of people that we have an opportunity to pick up. They're turning away a lot of people that I think respect reason and science and therefore cannot respect the kind of antifa tactics or cannot respect the identity politics takes a cannot respect the whole idea of intersectionality. They just cannot respect the again the nuttiness the nihilism the real nihilism of so much of the left oh Jennifer's back that's good. And as a consequence of that I think there's a real opportunity for objectivism for those of us who advocate for reason and science but consistently advocate for science to at least offer an alternative to the world view that these people hold just to one extent to another. So what its implications implications are that I think the left is actually losing power. I think that you know I think that the people turning against the left. And I think that if there was a legitimate alternative to the left not objectivist but not the Republican Party of Donald Trump. But if there was a legitimate pro reason thoughtful interesting alternative to the left. I think it would do very well today I think I think a political party that rejects the wacky the socialist egalitarian the anti business. I mean the vehemently anti business attitudes of today the Democratic Party and the whole and the whole leftist agenda. And with you know had some respect for individuals had respect for the mind had respect for for science didn't panda to the anti evolutionaries they didn't panda to religion. I think that political party would do fantastically well today and I think it's an opportunity to capture the walkaways in such a party but also as part of the social dog web and hopefully some of them can be captured in favor of objectivism in favor of ultimately the ultimate philosophy of reason. So I view this as wonderful news as a real opportunity. Thanks, David for pointing this out. I do think it has legs I think I think you'll actually see this grow as the left becomes more consistently nihilistic. And I and I've often said that I don't think the left can win. I don't think the left can can win totally. That is dominate American society and dominate American culture. It's too damn crazy. And Americans are not crazy so Americans will not give up to the extent to the extent of accepting nihilism. That except pragmatism like the pragmatism was seen from Donald Trump but I don't think they're quite ready to accept nihilism. All right, that's
