My school uses pod by my church too. I love IT. I really do check one, two. All right? This is the q man that, hello.

Is everybody doing good? Spend a long time so that i've done a solo podcast, but I figured since we're heading into the election on tuesday, I would get out some final thoughts here. I did a couple of twitter spaces the other day.

I invited a bunch of guest to come on, all of whom said no or didn't get back to me, which is a cLassier way of saying no. Or like Larry elder did, tell me, he tell me he's going to come on and they never returned my email again. That's okay.

The nice thing is i've got me and that's really all I give a shit about, to be honest with you. At the end of the day, I started the podcast screaming like a lunatic by myself and that's how i'm gonna finish IT someday. That's the nice thing too, about people say, oh, content this.

What about that? You wind up plagiarize zing ideas to live in an echo chAmber. No, I don't. You know, I just say what's on my mind and I put that out there and it's mine and it's all mine and I don't worry about any that should I just call mm like I see him and we will talk about this first of four. us.

Look, I want to thank the people that have continued support to support this podcast over the years. I never really do this, but just a quick update. We're like approaching ten million total lessons when you count my podcast in all of my content, youtube.

And I just want to thank you guys very much for that. I started the podcast in twenty eighteen basically for therapy purposes just for to do something cathos because guys that I wanted to see getting interviewed like Peter chef and bill flag and stein at the time, we're not getting time on the mainstream media. And so began a branch off a hard fork, as the bitcoin people would say, from mainstream media to alternative media and finance.

And now what we're seeing and something i'll talk about today is a broader move to alternative media in general, not just for the build that comes out of my mouth, but for your mainstream news as well. People are sick and tired of IT when he heard is storing off the seat. You guys know you fucked up right here.

Hewit is a pretty mild mannered guy. Not in a idea. I mean, what's next? You're going to see the guy on c.

Span who answers the phone calls, picked the phone up and slam down on the desk and storm off the sea span live. I can take this year anymore. You know, some eighty year old guide.

It's been thirty nine years into a forty year career, ten days from retiring man when he hui storms off to said, that's the kind of stuff I think about we'll talk about IT in a second. Look, this podcast is brought to you by my dear friends over a jm bullion, my longest running supporters. They don't give me any shit at all.

And um if you have if you've been a listener for a long time, give jam billion and George game in a shout and tell them my set yeah because those guys like to hear IT and I like them to know that they're getting something for supporting me. I don't know what IT is other than my ability to buy a giant bag of White rice at the beginning of the week and make IT last for the whole week is that's about all anybody can afford anymore for dinner.

I still have yet to replace the damage to side view mirror my car, but that's a project for another day. All right. Just a reminder.

None of this is financial advice or life advice. Talk to your financial professional, find somebody that wears a fuck and tie for a living, and talk to them about anything. Finance, life problems, politics.

I have no idea what I am talking about, and that's generally the prevAiling sentiment. This is not a solicited to buy or sell any securities. It's not i'm not telling you how to vote.

I'm not telling you how to think. This is just my opinions. For the purposes of open discussions, I hold no licenses, no registrations and generally, and one of the most unqualified people in history to be given my opinion about anything.

So make sure you bear that all in mind, play that introduction back as many times as you need to, to not get offended, and to come to the realization that you got to think for yourself. But I am going to say my shit too. I'm going to say some of the things that i've been thinking about here leading into the election and and then i'm going to leave.

The issue probably won't do a who won the election episode because they'll be plenty of mainstream media Carrying that water. And the important thing, the consequential thing, if you ask me, is to get this shit out. Now before everybody goes to the polls on tuesday, this is an an official endorsement.

But obviously, I think that everybody knows i'm voting for trump. You know, that is what IT is. And today, i'll talk about some of my reasoning and just discuss the issue here a little bit, and then we'll get on with our lives.

Are I folks? So how do I feel going into election day? I feel personally, I feel great.

I mean, not about the potential results of the election, just how i'm thinking about things in general. I feel like I see things very clearly. But I guess anybody could be saying that about anything. You know, people that are on the far left, people that are on the far right, I think everybody thinks that they see things very clearly, but for me, I don't know.

I feel like not only am I seeing things clearly, but I had a great discussion this morning with a long time friend, uh, also very much like me, former democrat a and then kind of, I guess, went the libertarian right in two thousand and eight when ron paul ran for president and since then has kind of continued to be, I would say, independent libertarian. And we were just talking about, you know, how we both hated George w. bush.

I remember when George w. Bush was running for president back in, uh, two thousand IT was, I think he was a president from two thousand one to two thousand and nine. And so that was how long ago, twenty four years ago, I was a democrat because I was twenty years old and didn't know shit about shit.

But I remember hating George w. Bush at the, at the time, I just couldn't get over IT. He was a neocon. He was in bed with the military industrial complex. He was running with dick I, who you know had a big interest in haliburton.

And I was having this discussion with my friend about how politically we've changed over the last twenty years in whether or not it's us, you know, getting older. We both have worked tirelessly. The two of us, my friend, he works an ungodly dly schedule. He uh works I think he works something like six twelve our shifts a week because he bar tens. Andy has a regular job and and he does IT to support his wife and his family.

And I don't know if it's because we both worked our asses off over the last twenty years and now where we have a different vest interest in keeping some of what we have earned for ourselves, where as when you're in your twenty, you know you don't really have shit for the most part. And so the idea of taxing the rich to pay for whatever you're schooling or your student loans or getting, you know, attacks credit IT makes sense. So I was trying to just figure out with him if we've changed or if everything else has changed in, you know, he conceded that we've changed to some degree, but the landscape has really changed to in a significant way.

And this is something, if you read my column that I just wrote yesterday on my blog, french finance. The link is in my podcast description and it's free to read, but my column is called flipped the fucking table over and scream. And one of the things that I write about is how a lot of the idea is that I used to fight for as a twenty year old democrat, have now become republican talking points.

You know, the rogan kind of covered this last week when he said to trump, you know, hey, if you want to be punk rock now, you gotto be a republican. You know, sounds kind of corny, and that sounds kind of stupid. But to some degree, that's how I feel.

I mean, I was walking around at twenty years old in a punk rock band with a leopard print hair and, you know, fighting the war against censorship and against, you know, the government telling people how they should live and doing so by voting democrat or what you know and listening to. No effect, right? Because that's where I took a lot of my social activism m cues from and you can can see that some of the change in my party because now I I registered republican, some of the change in my party has come due to getting older.

It's come to, you know, due to working my eyes off to no longer wanting, you know, chaos and anarchy and wanting stability and rule of law and civility and wanting what's best for me and for my family and for my community and for my friends. Especially as IT relates to safety uh and as IT relates to uh private property rights, as a as IT relates to civil liberties. And now so look, i'll concede that some of that is me changing, but the bedrock underneath me politically is also changing.

And you would be foolish to not point that out as well. So much of the music that I made growing up in the music that I listen to growing up, was about freedom. IT was about being able to say whatever you wanted to say through your lyrics, through your music.

Know I keep no, no effects is the first band that comes to mind. But I remember red, the war on errors ism, which was a great album that came out while George bush was president. And I remember the band did Frank co.

On american, which is a song from the album on the letter man show, I think, and they change the lyrics in the bridge, you know, to say, we all think George bushes in ebisu, he loves cock, but he hates homosexuals. And so you know that ban, you look at albums like White trash, two heads in a bean. You know how titles like that that you i'm not sure nowaday would be considered politically correct.

I mean, all these bands pushed IT. All these punk bands pushed IT. They, if you listen to songs like lies in the weeds, I want to like you come back to know facts is the only one that, so when that I can remember, but like Lorry mires song like that, you know, which is basically about a girl, choose them to become a prostitute.

Well, kind of funny too. As I looked up the album, the first thing I saw a redit post that says, anyone else noticed White trash, two heaps in a bean, is now just called White trr ash on spotify. That's funny.

So they took the, they either need to clean IT up spotify IT, or the band changed IT for spotify. But this exemplifies my point perfectly. right? Somebody is censoring no effects. I don't know. No effects is censoring themselves. Or if spotify censoring no effects, the point about all that shit I was just talking about, and what i'm saying now about this common, hey, you want to be punk rock, you want to be a republican now is republicans nowadays are the party that's fighting for free speech.

And that's what I was fighting for when I was in my twice, you know, I wanted the right to be able to say, first off, the right of free speech is really as IT relates to c rosann, core of the country, backbone of the republic. You know, a number one, top of the list, right? God given, right?

Free speech is number one. I think a trumps everything else. And so, you know, needs to be protected at all costs.

And that obviously means speech that people are uncomfortable with too. That is the free speech that needs to be protected the most. But we have lost our way here over the last twenty years. Somewhere, I can't pinpoint when that happened, but somewhere around twenty sixteen, I think maybe IT started twenty fifteen.

The, you know, the fight for free speech and being able to say what you want has lost its edge in favor of this idea that everyone needs to be walking around with ten layers of installation around them, protecting them from things they don't personally like and things that personally make them uncomfortable, that, first of you can't micro manage the speech to begin with. IT is a fools iron. It's impossible to do.

It'll never be done. And you should we get to that point. Society has much larger problems in that, but it's just fundamentally wrong.

And so this, you know, I wasn't planning on making this the example, but this is the perfect example right now. Somebody, either these music exists or no affects themselves, won't surprise me if it's the latter. Now because the left has become, the democrats have become very woke, have truncated the name of their album.

You know what's funny if they say two heads in A B, they're talking about the members of the band, right? They're they're not dissing anybody else. You got two heads calling themselves two heads, a bean, a mesi, obviously a bean calling themselves a bean.

White trash calling himself White trash. You know, if you you can't use a racial slurs on yourself, I don't know when you can possibly do IT. There's a guy amy reit thread now that i'm looking at underneath that question that wrote, my last name is heb H E E B.

I sometimes get blocked from signing up for things online, saying, quote, your last name contains profound folks. We've lost IT. We've completely lost our mind somewhere over the last twenty years. The party that was fighting the good fight for free speech, against censorship, for sovereignty over their own mind, for sovereign tea over their body, to keep the government out of their personal life.

Somehow that party made so much progress and really became ingrained in the mainstream media, so much so that everything started regressing, right? The mainstream media, at the same time, the democrats started to make real tangible progress. You know, maybe from the nineties to twenty ten, with a lot of social issues, with getting a marriage legalized, I mean, the party really made some kick ass strides towards freedom in individual liberty. But at some point, as that progress was being made simultaneously, the mainstream media was reaching a point in its monopoly.

And of course, the mainstream media, meaning, like the most of the broadcast network, with the exception of fox news, which are obviously leads right most of the broadcast networks, most of big tech, most of the nation's popular newspapers, they had reached to a point of saturation in their monopoly as being the authority for the only place that you could really get your news or your narrative at the same time that democrats had made all the rides that eventually both parties became embolden, the democratic party became in bolden with some great winds and probably thought, okay, well, we know the best way for everybody to live always. I mean, remember, the democratic party was anti war. Through the party that wants us to prolonged ukraine war with more.

Now they're the party endorsed by the chinese now. And there were some really sharp democrats in the early two thousands and some real great intellectuals. None of them are coming to mind.

But trust me, they were. I'm not just talking shit like bill clinton baLanced the budget. Okay, he gets credit for that. But something happened over the last ten years at this intersection of trump running for president and social activism becoming a thing.

Something happened where embolden by their Victories and embolden by their strides, really as IT related to diversity, as IT related to civil rights, embolden by those things, the democratic party kind of slowly became the party of, we know what's best for everyone. They had started to thread themselves into the university system in academia. They thread themselves into the media, and all of a sudden we got to a point where, empowered by the fact that they had a monopoly, the media taking either talking points from democratic strategists or the intelligence agencies.

I have no idea, but the media started to just lightly toe the democrats line. Now look, as far back as you want to go, people are going to claim that there's been a liberal bias in the media. However, over the last twenty years, that has gotten markedly worse, markedly worse.

And at some point, social activism became more about showing off the fact that you are being an activist, and less about affecting change. IT became more of a social status thing and less about action, which is why you have signs on people's front long that say, hate has no home here, but if you shop with an immigrant, they don't want to take him in. Okay, it's very easy.

Doesn't cost anything to go out and talk about virtue signal. And because the left had made dry in issues like climate change and gay marriage and all of these left leaning social issues, they kept going further and further left, right. And that's kind of at the same time that the left is pushing further left in their ideology, the media has become more and more captured by the left.

So this comes to some type of apex here over the last ten years, where IT becomes very evident that a lot of what the left is saying is empty virtue signal without action, which is mixed with full intellectual sounding radical left policy ideas. Okay, maintain a trillion dollar coin to solve the financial problem in the country. Just a fucking and dum idea, right? We took kenco and economics, which is a slightly left idea, right, which is, hey, let's get off.

The gold standard will just pepper in a little inflation here, you know, keep the economy going. A little bail out here, a little bail out there. Two thousand turned into two thousand and eight.

Hey, you know, we're just kind of gently on the left side of things here. And we've got the system in academia as kenzo economics works, which all of the a sudden evolves into the world's dome's fucking idea, which is decided to leave in two thousand fifteen. Or whenever I was saying, why can't we just meant a trillion dollar coin? Okay, that's called going too far to the left, folks.

And when you dress IT up in a bunch of books by Stephanie kelton and a bunch of smug gargan by paul krugman, man who sits on twitter, by the way, all day telling you that inflation not a problem anymore while you're set at home and can afford, you know, a simbo full of fuck and rice because it's so expensive right now, that is far left stupidity. Clock in for sounding intellectual dragon, which is okay. So we've driven now past the point of affecting some positive social change, right, and appealing to the civil rights of people and freedom and liberty.

We've gone further to the left of that, and we have now drifted into empty virtue signaling and dressing up dumb, fucked and ideas with intellectual sounding jargon. right? That's where an idea like the trillion dollar coin goes.

That's also where the idea of defund the police scores. Same type of concept. The left's idea for the police are, hey, they need to be held accountable.

Maybe we need to look at qualified community. They need to be trained a little bit Better. They need to practice, you know, non intervention, non violence up to a point.

The far left idea is, hey, we don't need any police at all. That's just fucking dumb, right? That's a dumb, a fucking idea. Society fails to function properly when there aren't consequences for people that go out and break the law. And we need the police to do that.

So now, no matter how many academic papers you write, littered with footnotes and full of intellectual sounding jargon and big words and know ultra complex sounding ideas, you're always going to wind up at the bottom of IT, all with a dumb flocking idea in deep funding. The police doesn't matter. You can write as many books as you want about social activism and stuck them all on that front table in the pen bookstore where you should just take a trip in there at some point.

If you're in filly, just take a look at the first couple tables of books in the ten bookstore. You can put as many books as you'd like in there. You can write as many papers or if you're the president of harvard, you could plagiarizes manifold c and papers on social activism as you'd like.

But the answer is never going to be removed. Police entirely from the streets, right? So he took a left leaning idea, which is police should be held accountable, which, by the way, is a great idea.

It's a great idea. I and people that listen the pockets. No, i'm not mr know police brutality.

Hey, they should just beat the shit out of people. I need police to be held accountable. I want police to be held accountable.

Trust me, right? I've had interactions with the police over the last twenty years that have pissed me right off. okay.

And there are there is no doubt that there are a group of complete total mother fucking in decade police officers that have a chip on their shoulder that are pissed off. They got stuffed in their locker in high school. I don't know what IT is.

Look, I know they have a very tough job, I decide with the police, but everybody's been pulled over by the one guy. Hey, what happened? Uh, well, you forgot to put your blanker around.

You know, sometimes these guys have a little trouble remembering that a traffic stop in a rural town is not necessarily dodging bombs in flush a and by the way, many these guys are fuck in veterans. They get my respect for that. I didn't have the balls to join the military.

You're veteran. I respect you. You get you get support for me, but doesn't mean that you could just get completely at a pocket with your job when you're a cup, you know and and go insane on people for no reason.

It's stupid. And look, anybody spent enough time on youtube has seen enough police interactions where the cops be in a decade. And they've seen enough police interactions where the person that gets pulled over as being a you can usually tell right away who the ass hole is, is one of the other when you're in those conflicted situations.

So both parties are guilty. Look, the point is, should police have to undergo training that, you know, helps them remain calm and intense situations? You don't want them to die.

You want him to protect themselves if they're in a situation where they are under threat. Yes, you want him to pull their gun. You want him to defend themselves. And, you know, we know what those situations look like.

Usually we get the body camp footage after a week of social activism and people saying a, you know, he shot an unarmed woman and then the body camp footage comes out and the woman was launching at him with a knife, stabbing him repeatedly in the head, and the guy was shooting the woman. This is the video that came out like a couple weeks ago. And so, you know, look, they have got a tough job, I know that.

But look, the idea of should police remain calm and respectful, right, because they are here to protect and serve. They're being paid with a taxpayer dollar fine. Great left leaning idea, right? Let's reform the police slightly. Let's make sure that they're not abusing their power, you know let's make sure that the, uh, you know that the every, the T S.

A, every fucking and guy that tells me to throw out my bottle of water does IT with the intensity like he's stopping ooma bin lodden from getting on a plane, you know, can take out of the point, sir. Take the laptop out of the bag. The laptop out of the bag.

It's like cheese. Is Christ on the only person in line? There's nobody else here.

I'm taking a monday morning flight at a terminal f where nobody flies out of. I'm going to boston to thirty minute flight. I'm the only persist in the security line.

How about you just say hello? How are you? Could you please take the laptop out of the bag? You don't need to command presence to a demand that somebody take their shoes off to walk through a metal detector.

Nobody is trying to run away here, you know? No, no, nobody is being invasive. yes. So do these people need a modem of, you know, mental health training and breath work? probably. And it's not a bad idea, but to funding the police completely, that's a terrible idea, a really bad idea. Gay marriage for IT love IT support IT you are gay and you want to get married.

I'm stoked if you want to put on as less chaps and pole dance in front of fifth graters not as good of an idea, you know, left idea, liberal idea, progressive idea, let everybody get married great respect everybody equally great idea, love IT too far left idea, have drag shows an elementary schools put books in the, you know, elementary school library about anal sex and blow jobs not that good of an idea. I've told this story on this podcast before, but when I was in third grade, the library, and wouldn't let me take out a book on karadi. There was a book called karadi for Young people, i'll never forget.

And I think I was in first or second grade, you know, is a book of people do in kari shit. Do you like an instruction book? Basically know how a kick had a punch up and when.

Let me take IT out. I can't remember whether the library said I was past my reading level or my grade level or my age level. You know, whatever.

There are spooks and kids libraries now that are like, hate timmy, you know, what's a blow job? I'm like, dude, all I want to do first off, like anybody in fucked at third great cares about that at all. Everybody wants to just do what I was doing, which is just learn how to side kick.

You know, I wanted to be a fucking and ninja turtle. No idea what was going on with girls in third grade. So again, left leaning idea, good idea.

Equality for everybody, socially, whatever you want to do. Like i've said before, marriage, even the abortion issue, I don't think, is that should be a government issue between you and your partner. It's between you and your doctor. Leave IT at home. The federal government should have nothing to do with your personal intimate relationships.

However, when you start creating around grown naked men and women in front of, you know, elementary school kids under the guys of a pride parade or the guys of, you know, drag queen story hour, whatever, you're walking a very thin line on just, you know, showing porn to children, your dam close, your dam close. You know, bride, bride, people walk around with dildos and shit again. Good left idea.

Let people be who they want to a, be you a boy that feels like a girl, and you want to be a girl. Great way to eternity. You can do what everyone, you can get a tattoo, you can vote, you can go to war.

You can almost drink. You know which twenty eighteen? Then you can go do whatever you want.

Taking a kid who is otherwise confused you know between, I would say you know, third grade to really for me I was very confused for a long time. But you know junior, high school, high school, even kids have no fucking idea. They have no clue, especially middle school, you know, you start going through puberty.

You even know which fucked and way is up. Forget about, you know, dating. You have no clue what's going on.

You take that confusion and immediately believe that school officials should be allowed to give kids gender affirming care that could permanently, you know, alter them sexually, physically for the rest of their lives just because they say, oh, I feel this way or I feel that way. Look, and i'm not against any that shit, you just got to wait to. Your eighteen years old doesn't belong with children.

So again, you have an idea that has just gone too far. Left, right? Another one, the liberal idea, equality, being able to live your life the way you want.

Love who you want. I got a man. Love is love.

I'm down for IT, right? But you can go too far left. And that's another issue where I think people have immigration.

Another issue. What was the liberal take on immigration? Hey, even years ago, go back and watch video of Hillary clinton, joe biden. We have to secure the border, build clinton. Illegal immigration is a huge problem.

Illegal immigration used to be taken very seriously as the illegal act IT was by both parties just years ago, fifteen years ago, maybe ten years ago. The left leaning stance used to be, hey, we need to let some immigrants illegally, and they're great for the economy, and they know pay their way, they become taxpayers. And it's great to have people come in legally.

Now the left wing stances, everyone's allowed to come in legally or illegally with zero consequences all the time. And everybody who's here illegally, whether their criminals are not, gets amnesty. That's as far as I can tell that is the left stance on immigration right now, which is again, insane.

It's just too far left. And so while the left has been moving further and further left right into terrible territory, again, here's another one right. The left always want OK one of there to be a safety net, social security, medical, medicare, obama care.

Okay, look, i'm not mr. Pro government programs, mainly because they're inefficient use of taxpayer money. But I understand the need for a safety net. I understand OK the the altruistic ideas behind social security. Obama care is actually a huge help for me.

When I was a bar tender and I didn't have health insurance, I was able to get my own health insurance through the marketplace when that first came out. So that was one, two thousand and eight maybe, but I used the a health care. That government in the website was a nightmare.

Eventually I got IT done, and that was how I obtained health insurance for myself. I get the idea of social programs. I really do.

I think there's a tone of waste, fraud, abuse that we could cut out of them. So I get a lot of these ideas and at least, you know, economically, some of them don't make sense. I think some of them are regressive economically, if not all of them. But I stand the idea. okay.

But when you go further left than that, when you have the taxpayer paying for debit cards and stays at the rose of world hotel, which i'm sure they're charging at the max rate for people in country illegally, and you have programs that benefit people here illegally, one hundred times more than many military veterans who are us citizens who we have out on the street. That doesn't make sense to me when we can clean up sanford cisco for sheet ing ping, but we can't clean IT up for our own citizens. That doesn't make sense to me when we go far left on drug policy and you wind up with sanford cisco, which now the city is ruined due to liberal policies, do yourself a favor, go on zero, look at some of the places for sale and sances.

Go and look at some of the historical Prices that they have been listed for prior and compare them against the national average and how that moves and cisco is done. Nobody wants to be there. The city is in ruins.

That has become mean. The last time I was there, I think, was in, and IT was unrecognizable from when I was there in twenty sixteen. IT has just become IT like a demilitarize zone.

I don't really know how us to explain IT. So again, another idea. I understand the need for social services. I understand the uh altruistic ideas behind IT. But you can go too far. You know that it's counter intuitive and regressive for the taxpayer to finance somebody student loan, for somebody to go to school to get a degree in postmodern hole hooping in the age of White colonizers. So, you know, I don't know.

So as the left has gone this far to the left, the mainstream media has been enjoying forty or fifty years of an unprecedented monopoly is the only place where people get their news. And so as the left starts pushing this ideology simultaneously with the guys that, hey, we have the moral high ground and we're making the altruistic decision always, and we know what's best for everybody else, not just ourselves, trust us or the ones in academia, right? The media has just slowly kind of adopted these as their talking points, and really the underbelly of everything that they reports.

So they might report on the news, but there is always a left leaning slant to what you know, with the exception of fox news, where there's always a right leaning slant, but almost everybody else, A, B, C, C, B, S. Now we just saw on sixty minutes you they're cutting and editing interviews. They're cutting a presidential candidates answer and replacing IT with something completely different.

What the hell is that? right? Here's the point. Media has been enjoying this monopoly, while democrats have kind of lost their minds to put IT nicely, and the two are going hand in hand.

And so what you saw was this peak here, I don't know, maybe some years back, maybe the peak was the russia collusion hoaxes. I don't know when I was, but at some point there was a peak where mainstream media monopoly was at its highest. And left wing, you know, ideologies that are radical, far to the left, tied in with mainstream media, were at their highest.

And all of a sudden we were presented with the left's agenda by the media every day as gospel. And that's kind of where we have wound up. No matter how insane IT is, no matter how stupid IT is, were presented that we, with the underlying assumption that these are the best practices for everybody, instead of being presented with two sides or the objective truth and being able to make our own decisions.

And here in lies the issue with free speech, too. Now if you're out there and you're saying something that's chAllenging this mainstream media narrative, it's looked at as hate speech. It's looked at you.

Tim walls just had a quote, I gotta find IT here. Give me a second here. IT is, this is where we have wound up.

Tim walls said in an interview that there is, quote, no guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy. Quote, fucking no. wrong. Dead as fuck in high school civic class, wrong, you know. So that is where we've gotten that we've gotten to the point.

We have a bunch of coddled and entitled people on left who are locked and foo intellectual jargon, who think they assume automatically that they have the moral high ground, that they have the very big brain much larger than anybody else is. I know what's going on. I have the largest brain. People tell me i'm brilliant to all the time.

The people on the left think that, okay, i'd like, I like to do my trouble pression there because trump once had a point is like SHE gene pain said, I have a very big brain for, look, the people on the left think that they've got IT all fuck and figured out, right, but they don't even realize not only how an idea like tim walls is idiotic, quote, no guarantee to free speech of misinformation, fuck you, right? Just how that infringes on the most acrosst of civil liberties. Okay, not talking about some oba u subsection of the thirty eight and some shit down at the bottom of the page.

This is fucking a number one right to free speech, go fuck yourself. Right to quote on mosque that event he was at, and the media, who is captured probably half by the deep state and half by their advertisers, they're just fine with this. They want to push.

These are all these indignant moments in the base. Well, excuse me, I got to just step in here. Well, so say that you know, with those concerned, earnest looking faces, well, are up, is hard fucking.

According to N, P, R, IT was nine point six million people across the water stead of nine point seven. Wow, what will we do without your fact checks? Whether the fact checks when fuck in CNN was every night saying that trump was colluding with russia? No, no need for fact checks there.

Just in J. D. Vance says that multiple apartment buildings are being rated by venezuelan gangs, and the news anchor needs to stop in and say, wait to see no was only one apartment building that was raided by a venezia and ganging as if we're supposed to say, oh, that's fine.

And by the way, thanks for pointing out that he got that wrong. He's such an idiot. It's like what the fuck of venezuelan gangs doing rating apartments and collator to begin with.

So the media has lost its compass completely. And I really, I think we've written the peaks of the media's monopoly and left wing idiot coming to a head. I mean, if trump in this election, it'll be easy to say that the peak is behind us. If he doesn't, who the fuck knows? But when you see people like jeff BIOS pending that up bet the other day, hey, you know, people don't trust the media anymore in the world should impose, we're gonna endorse and he's fucked and right, you know, when you hear IT gets up and walks off a live stream.

And I know if you saw this, but they were essentially covering trump s ballot, a chAllenges in bucks county, where he sued because people were being thrown off of line and he won because they were breaking election law, and IT was covered by the washing post as if he was, you know, completely out of line and chAllenging some process he shouldn't been chAllenging. And here here that says no, he chAllenged in courtney one, you know, but the other two people on the stream they weren't covering that end of the story. Play for you.

This opens ruth Marcus, who's the associate editor of the washington post, talking to jaine. Affect the guys name, JoNathan. Keep something rather, and you heal IT uh SHE talks first and you hui kind of butt in. You can hear the host also kind of drop in.

Here's the, here's the clip. And I think we are going to see him both read up his supporters to contest elections outside of courtrooms and go to every court room he can in amErica where it's relevant to make whatever um arguments he can no matter how far for. We saw that last time, but I didn't work out.

May not not that may not happen this time. And now let you go here. Well, I just got to say where news people, even though were the opinion section, it's got to be reported.

Box county was reversed by the court and instructed to open up extra days because they violated the law and told people to go home. So that lawsuit was brought by the republican committee, and IT was successful. The supreme court role that land yang can was successful.

We are news people, even though we have opinions, and we have to report the whole story if we bring up part of this story. So yes, he's upset about bux carting, but he was right and he won in court. That's the story. I like keep going .

jumping no, I just I don't appreciate being lectured about reporting when hub, many times you come here saying lots of things .

but and that this is the most unfair election and I have ever been a part of you guys. You're working. That's fine and done.

And he took his a mick often and he walked off the set, you know and it's just. As the first lady was talking about, you know, claiming trip was at a lion or the republicans read a line for, you know, filing the lawsuit, the host is, you hear that you can tell this kind of like getting ready to talk the host letter finish, you letter finish, you know and then he comes back with the facts and the host is like, well, I don't appreciate being lectured.

It's like, bitch is the truth what are you doing working for a newspaper if you have that far of a disassociation from the objective truth? Always asking is that you report the objector truth. You can put as much a pink around IT as you want.

IT was fruitless. IT was stupid, that IT was taki tacky, whatever. But he was making a coach in point, which is, you got ta get the truth of the story out there.

And the truth is he was right and he one in court. So you have jeff bazas getting IT. You have huge w IT. Quitting his job.

He later quit the washington imposed, and he's spent there for a really long amount of time yeah you hear IT is not like some far right in saying ah you know he's a pretty mild measured guy for being a conservative and he's spent with the water to post rivers for him to walk off. I mean, he's just had enough. Just see the same thing with antique from the Young turks. You know, I was just listening to her on the impact theory.

I think this morning one of the podcast where SHE came out and made some statement where SHE didn't kiss the ring of democrats last week and they fucking with IT after her and so SHE gives this great interview with was an impact where modern modern wisdom maybe he was on um I put IT on my twitter but he just has a great job of explaining how far seed everything has gotten with the media in the left and you know, just as they've taken the issues far to the left, theyve taken their coverage of trump as a candidate. You know, too far to the left cast berry makes some good points, like there's a lot of things you could use the guy out, you want to a bus, the guy not pay in fucking employees when he was, uh, when he was no building buildings. You can do that.

You want to boston on for being a fucking and womanizer. You can do that. You want to buy them for being a liar and for talk and shit. You can do that. There's things you can bust his ass on for sure, but to go so far out of the way and call him a note when he's holding a rally, a medicine square garden with tons of jewish people in attendance, or calling him a fascist, or saying the world's gonna, if he's elected, hey, he was already president for four years. Things were OK cash.

And I give a lot of credit for having the humility and being humble enough to do IT just admit like, you know, it's it's like a culture puris on the left, if you're not in for a penny, in for a pound, you're just not ending. You can't question anything. You can question in any of the issues.

There's it's like there's no room for people that are set or left anymore on the left. And a lot of those people are starting to move over to the right. You even see IT with, look down lemon, okay, down lemons in idiot.

I don't particularly enjoy watching him. I didn't enjoy him when he was on CNN. I found him mostly useless as a journalist. But he's doing content now where he's out on his own.

You know guess he's doing the don lemon show on whatever on x look, if I have a show, everybody e's got a fuck show. Know what an he's doing the don lemon show, but I see someone he's on the street work where he's talking to people and he's not he's at least not bleeding heart left. It's not bleeding through in his interviews with people.

He's talking to trouble supporters and he's talking to people on the left. So even he is starting to get IT through his brain that, look, this is, you ve got to escape to where the pox going here. Most of the american public have had enough of the marriage between the democratic party and the mainstream media machine.

And so how is that going to manifest? It's onna manifest and either voting in republicans or drifting the alternative media and both things are happening. It's just a question of whether or not both are going to kind of trust that mountain here together.

On tuesday, the propaganda from the left has gotten so far gone that it's insulting. You know, it's difficult for people even stomach IT. It's like the thing with joe bide. Alright, I wrote an article on my blog, french finance. Link is in the podcast description, free to read, but IT was called, we can be lied to about anything.

And the gist of the article was, and this was written, I think, back in April, the gist of the article was that if they can lie to us with a straight fuck and face about joe biden's mental acuity, now they can lie about anything, right? If the hunter by the laptop didn't do IT for a, if the covet origin story didn't do IT for a, if the covet vaccine claims didn't do authorities, if the russian collusion hopes didn't do IT oria, that should do IT for you. The fact that joe scarborough looked his viewers in the face and said, joe biden has never been sharper at a point where the guy was probably falling up a flight of stairs as he was saying that, I mean, bitten has always been a gaffe machine.

But heading into, you know, election season, the summer IT was a nightmare, a culminated at the debate where everybody saw him fucking and just employ like a dying star on stage and in for a fifty million viewers nationally. There was no denied that was no turning back. Joe biden had, you know, is gone.

He's not fit to be president. He's not fit to be president. Now he sure as hell m fit to be president for the next four years. And immediately IT became obvious. And next thing you know, we have a democratic candidate for president that has not want a primary, that really most of the country, based on the last primary SHE ran and finds detestable hand selected by who I don't really know, but the point is we were light to about joe biden. And not only were we lied to, we were lied to in a fashion where if you didn't trust what the left was saying, if you didn't trust joe scarboro about joe biden, not only, not only were you, you know, misinformed, but you were just an ash le for not listening to the major, how could you joe, joe, back in moral author joe, and has never look sure what's all the panic about?

What's you're literally watching the guy with your own two eyes, you know, shit himself on stage, walk around, shake hs with nobody can talk, can do anything and joe scarboro is talking to you like, you know like he's explaining calculus and you're some fuck in know four year old that doesn't even know how to use an advocate you know, in that tone of voice like, well, why would you ever compete with such mental heavy weights as us? We're telling you he's fine, he's fine. They just lied about IT full stop and the story.

And when I said at to being in this podcast that i'm feeling this clarity right now, i've really feel like a lot of other americans feel the same way. The unholy, the alliance between the media and the democratic party has really reached ahead. IT is reached a breaking point. IT feels like, you know, even people out of independent voters, a lot of people on the center left, you know, those are people that think critically, who you just can't tell them, you know, people that even if they are democrats, they watch commoner Harris say, i've done, we've done a lot to secure the border, and they just can't stomach another bold face lie.

You know, they just can't do IT and that's the stuff she's saying, you know, we've secured the border, no, but you know, sixty percent of people in the country because people on the left, you're just never going to get through to going to say, oh, well, they tried to pass the bill. Republicans wouldn't let them whatever, forgetting the fact that I know resulted in two million illegals crossing and amnesty. But sixty percent of people, which is all unique, you need sixty percent to make a point.

Sixty percent of people in this country probably watch her say that we did everything we can to secure the ball. We secure the border. You know, our one hundred maoris at these congressional stimson smiling.

You know, the numbers of the numbers. People have been pouring through the borders, and there have been rapes and killings. There was another one on long island just yesterday, I think, an alleged sexual assault from an illegal migrant.

Look on for legal immigration for IT or all. We're all immigrants for IT. This is again, another one.

This was the left leaning position on for immigration, right? Just legal immigration. So I was A, I was a democrat in nineteen ninety five, in two thousand and five, whatever.

But the idea that she's gone to let people pour through the border, proactively undo trumps border policies as soon as they get off as brag about IT and then turned around four years later and tell us that she's done everything you can and it's a big deal to her. That's just a lie. So big it's very difficult for people to ignore.

It's like joe binton health, you know, and it's just they have run through all of their nine lives with telling us that the things we see with our own two eyes are and as they appear, you can only get so many of those through until people get wise to IT. You know, you can skin a shape so many times, but you can only share IT once if the biden lie didn't put you over the edge, if the russia collusion lie and put you over the edge, if the one sided debate fact checking didn't put you over the edge, you know, maybe that will be IT. Maybe it'll be the media running cover for her on an issue where he is so clearly wrong and so clearly did an incompetent job that is just forces you to nudge right a little bit.

And so you see these things with such clarity. Again, it's like the voter ID issue. Don't do anything that makes IT easier for non citizens to vote and then tell me you're interested in election integrity.

The two just don't they're like, fuck and oil and water. They just don't work together. You know, it's like camera Harris saying we secured the border. Just a lie. IT would be like if I went outside, told you the fuck and sky is Green and the grass is blue in two seconds less than that, you'd be like that. Well, something wrong with this person, and that's.

People are starting to arrive that they can help but see, you know, people that do, people that would rather live in their echo chAmber and take their talking points from the left. Even they can help but see IT, let's hope, big, the lies are getting. They ask veteran, this rogan as veteran, this about immigration.

The clips on lies somewhere. Let's just look at rogan. I think joe rogan just posted IT. But he ask veteran, you know, you understand how one could think that you know, you're let all these people in the country, you're given them all social services and you want to all the vote blue and how that could eventually turn the entire country country blue, and how IT could appear that that might be the motivation behind this.

And you just got a bunch of like you you talked to circles for like my body and a professor twenty five years ago and the guy said, immigrations never invoking ten seconds later or fifteen seconds later he said a bunch of shit, but he didn't answer a question and at the end you can see how it's like to what like, when did word salads become in vogue? I mean, I know that Harris thing, but like we used to actually have to circle back and arrive at some type of al Angel terminals of a point or an idea that you know an answer. It's like, you know you get on a math test, one plus one, you.

F minus, you get on that test if you say anything other than two. And so they just can't run away from the truth. You know there's a lot of power in the truth. And the truth is that on a lot of these issues are the left uh in the media have really had an unholy the alliance and it's come to such ahead that people can't avoid IT, they can't avoid noticing IT.

And so for that, I feel like people are experiencing some of the same clear headed this that I feel going into the election, at least I hope they do because that's the kind of stuff that drives me um you know, to make my decisions accordingly. Look, I love that you're here listening to the podcast that you embrace the alternative media whatever IT is that i'm doing here. That's nice.

I'm stoked on IT, but the mainstream media, you know, there's still too much influence. Just look at the election cycle and David mr. Fact checking, just trump and wrong too.

We got the FBI crime statistics thing wrong. So the fact checked the wrong fact with one candidate, you know about sixty minutes running cover for Harris. It's a sick game, the media place.

And you're never going to convert all the left because forty percent of people on the left, probably eighty percent of people on the left, you're going to swear to you that the ends justify the means that it's OK to do that. It's OK a male in a million fake, but it's OK overturn voter ID. It's OK to allow illegals in the country because IT serves their agenda.

But there's there's a small faction of democrats, maybe twenty percent, fifteen percent, who really were the Normal old school liberals, who were critical thinkers, independent minded people and those are the people that I think could really sweet this election in the right direction if you're going to be voting against the democrats. With all that being said, you know, I feel A, I feel pretty clear headed going into tuesday. This will be my one and only podcast about the debate and the issues.

But if you haven't, I encourage you to check out my blog and read my latest column. If you'd like a little bit more, it's free to read french finance. The link is in my podcast description.

You could just ch for Q T R french finance on google. It'll come up if I haven't been relegated to the bottom of the google search results yet. I think if Harris wins, we get more of the same, you know and I think the countries headed in a bad direction now. So I think we just continue down that path. You know, I don't think it's the end of the world of either candidate wins.

Uh, so like some on the ample sides of the area, not historical about IT, I would far prefer you know smaller government, lower taxes uh and trump to win but I don't think it's the end of the world either way um if not anything else, the chinese say, may you live in interesting times? If he wins, I think gold goes to ten thousand probably within two years because it's just going to be an absolute free for all the spending. We didn't even talk about IT, but the spending is out of control.

And it's not just the spending, it's the shit they're spending IT on. If we were spending a trillion dollars more than we had every year, but I was going to, you know, social services and to install a you know nationwide rail line or any of the infrastructure you see in other countries, which makes us look like a dabi dated health cape, i'd be fine with that. But you know pissing the money away overseas just ah it's a different story for a different day.

Look, I think if Harris wins, we get more the same. And I think if trump wins, I think it's more than a win. I think it's the end of the mainstream media, and I think it's a very bold statement about the nation's tolerance for a lot of the bullshit that has gone on here over the last eight years above everything else.

I think it's a bold statement about the media in this country because they have thrown everything they can. They tried to arrest them. They tried to put him in jail.

They've done everything they can to help Harris publicly. You know, they give her softball questions. They are fine.

They're not taking interviews. They you know, give the debates he wants. You know, trump gives them the rules that they want.

They've done everything they can. They've done everything they can to try to stop him, and they've done everything. They tend to try to help her. And if the nation returns a verdict of Donald trump on tuesday, IT means the old playbook has officially fucking died.

The old playbook of the media running cover for democrats IT just doesn't work anymore and gonna have to go back to the drawing table in a very big way. It'll be the equivalent, as I wrote in my last column, of my friend who want a jack pot at a casino, then flip the fuck in table over, right in front of them with the chips and drinks and everything, you know, in scream. He had been losing the money at this conceal for so long.

He finally want to jack pot. He flip the table that gave a novelty check and told me to never come back again. What I think if trouble wins, I think that's us flipping the table on the government, flip in the table on the status quo, flipping the table on the democrats, and most certain ly flip in the table on the fucking in media.

And I think that's the biggest thing here. You know, if Harris wins, the election in the media continues down its path of, you know, kind of mutating here with what we're seeing with bezos, people getting fired from CNN, people drifting to write wing alternative media, people like tucker calls and leaving fox skating his own show, you know, rogan being the number one pocket. It's only going to embolden those content producers if he wins.

If he wins and the uh move continues in that direction, the next election cycle, whether to bid terms, podcast, everything else, we're going to be ruin the day. That's now campaign strategy. Whether everybody likes other night, social media means podcasts, you know, uh, whether trump winds or night, he made that his campaign strategy because it's effective and that's how things are going to be going forward.

The only problem is if the left says in power, we may not have a free speech internet to talk of in the future, you know, because there's always gonna the platforms that wanted demonize ze you for saying the wrong thing. And so we're walking a thin line here. And at some point, the dam is gonna break.

The the only question of when the only question is when. Look, I can't say this enough. No matter what you read about early voting, get out and vote. Make a plan.

As I wrote on twitter, if you're voting to defeat the democrats, they have a distinction camera of, you know, the government, the media and the democratic party altogether. You know, it's a giant leviathan that must be defeated decisively. You don't want to eat out in.

So if you think that we're doing well and you don't need to vote, bullshit, go out vote, tell people. And I thought I was stupid when I read IT tell ten people to go vote. Well, you know what? This morning I did.

Most of them had voted already. But I get on the phone. I talked me, yeah, like I told your socks to my friends from here you vote, oh yeah, I vote IT.

Good, good. Me too. You know, get out and do IT.

And again, I don't even give a fuck you you vote for, just get out and participate. You guys decide the election. IT came down to essentially single digits last year.

If you look at the numbers, I mean, that's the polling equivalent of single digits. So if you think you can make a difference, you can tuesday, it's on the human. I'm getting out here. Great talking you great to in a solo pocket, check out my friends at jam bullion, show me some love and tell me the q man said you, please, so I can eat one symbol of rice per week. peace.
