A Radical Reset
Our Republic has been converted into a democracy which is just another name for mob rule. The mob is getting what it wants, to paraphrase H.L. Mencken, good and hard. One day soon, the entire edifice is going to collapse under its own weight and what takes its place historically will be tyranny. A Radical Reset is the alternative and the system is called Antipolitism. It calls for a new republic based upon merit and not ambition. No parties, no money in politics, no careers in politics, and only serving the public good.
A Radical Reset
The Rising Danger of Fascism in America
The warning signs are flashing red, but most Americans aren't connecting the dots. While we're distracted by the daily political circus, something far more dangerous is taking root in American politics—a new strain of fascism that's finding a comfortable home within mainstream conservatism.
In this deeply insightful examination of America's political crossroads, I break down how modern fascism operates: not through jackboots and overt dictatorship, but by allowing private businesses to maintain a façade of independence while forcing them to serve nationalist interests. This isn't just about Trump or MAGA—it's about the extremist ideologies gaining acceptance from both ends of the political spectrum.
What makes this moment particularly perilous is our economic vulnerability. With mortgage rates at 7%, the housing market cooling, and our national debt spiraling beyond control, we're creating the perfect conditions for extremism to flourish. History teaches us that economic crises don't just destroy wealth—they destabilize democracies. Germany was "the most liberal, educated country in Europe until Hitler got his hands on it because of a little economic upset."
The solution isn't found within our existing political framework. Both parties have been corrupted by a system that attracts power-hungry individuals rather than public servants. Anti-politism offers a revolutionary alternative: random selection of qualified citizens who bring real-world success and common values to governance. By transforming politics from career to duty, we might yet avoid the collision course between socialism and fascism that threatens to tear America apart.
Don't dismiss these warnings as hyperbole. The financial crisis looming on the horizon will make the Great Depression "look like a walk in the park," and when it arrives, mainstream America will be vulnerable to extremist solutions unless we've prepared alternatives. Pick up "A Radical Reset" to understand how anti-politism could be our path forward before it's too late.
Good morning everybody. It's Friday. I didn't do a podcast Monday or Wednesday and it wasn't laziness, it was sheer overwhelmed and kind of put off by the amount of political news that's being generated lately, particularly coming out of the White House. You know, there's such a thing as just too much, even too much of what a lot of people think is a good thing, but I'm not going to get into. You know, it's just that when every day there's something new, from the silly to the sublime, you know, from Epstein to promoting energy production, to keep our edge in AI, I mean, you know, there's just so much of it that it's hard for me as a podcaster to choose what I'm going to talk about, and particularly in relation to anti-politism. To choose what I'm going to talk about, and particularly in relation to anti-politism, because in an anti-political world things would be so much calmer. So I want to do a quick review of why. That is why that statement that things would be calmer if this was anti-political. And then I want to talk about a surging danger, and instead of the surging danger from the left, which is what the Republicans constantly talk about, I'm going to talk about the surging danger from the left, which is what the republicans constantly talk about. I'm going to talk about the surging danger of the right and the new fascism that is infiltrating and infecting the republican party. Now, when I use the word fascism, I want you to understand I'm not using it like a democratic activist, as an anti-politist and as a libertarian both. I don't care which one of the unit parties wins. When I run for Congress, I've, by the way, filed my letter of intent with the state of Arizona to run in the libertarian primary, which I'll win. I'm going to be the only candidate in the libertarian primary. I know this because I'm in constant contact with what you might call the Maricopa County Libertarian Party. What you might call the Maricopa County Libertarian Party. The Libertarian Party is the only third party in the United States that has access to virtually every ballot in the country, and it's a legitimate third party. But at the same time, it's never done very well at anything, because it's like herding kittens when you get a bunch of libertarians together.
Speaker 1:Libertarian originally was a catch-all term to replace classical liberal, because liberalism had been taken by the left and had been converted to socialism, which is not what classical liberalism is at all. Progressivism and socialism are not parts of classical liberalism. Classical liberalism would be defined I mean, I'm not going to give you a textbook definition because this isn't a textbook discussion but it comes down to this Do what you want in the privacy of your own home and the public. And the government should do as little as it possibly can because it messes up pretty much everything it touches. It's just a classical. It's not conservative because it doesn't hang on every value and try to protect values without thought. You know, conservatism resists change and progressivism is its counterbalance. And if it was, if they were in balance, that would be one thing. But they're not. And modern conservatives have been completely sidelined by MAGA. And MAGA, which sounds great, make America great again. Who could argue with that? And MAGA, which sounds great, make America great again. Who could argue with that? But unfortunately, because of the nature of MAGA or Trumpism or call it whatever you want, it's opened the door to the new kind of fascism.
Speaker 1:So first let's talk about what fascism really is. Fascism and communism have a lot in common. So the communist manifesto basically says to each according to their needs. Fascism says and so therefore the state takes over the means of production. The state owns the means of production. It takes the profit out and gives everybody what they need, and there's no capitalist fat cats to prey upon the people. In the eyes of of the Marxist and I'm being very simplistic I know that and I encourage being very simplistic I know that and I encourage everyone to read the Communist Manifesto If you haven't really it's worth it. It's not Mein Kampf, it makes its case. It's not the screed of a lunatic.
Speaker 1:But anyway, fascism is essentially the same thing, only it replaces the state ownership with state control. So private businesses is allowed to maintain the facade of being private so long as it carries out policies in line with what's in the national interest, as determined by the ruling party. That's fascism, by the ruling party. That's fascism, and that's exactly, if you think about it. Or I don't want to use the word exactly, but you could draw an easy parallel to what, for example, the Trump administration is advocating today. They advocate policies. They'll go along with private business so long as private business goes along with them. But if you don't, they'll punish the living crap out of you, and that is the nascent fascism.
Speaker 1:And so, on the right you have a lot of people like Nick Fuentes, who's a white supremacist, or Andrew Tate, who's a professional misogynist and you know, in any number of podcasts and publications like the American Reporter and things like that, the American Reformer I'm sorry, these people on the right. This is not a fringe movement. This is to the Republican Party as the progressives are to the Democratic Party. It's about 10 to 20% of the MAGA movement which is fanatical. It's latently anti-Semitic, it's latently isolationist, it's latently misogynist and it's led by really ugly people and unfortunately right now it's easy to poo-poo them as fringe and write them off, and we would never act like that. But evil has a way of insinuating itself in the way of. You know, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. We've all heard that many, many times and I have no doubt in my mind that the MAGA folks in the mainstream mind that the MAGA folks in the mainstream, the 80% who just want to make America great again and embrace that phrase and don't think it through too deeply, would reject the idea that they're anti-Semitic or that they're isolationist or that they're misogynist. But these people on the right don't even bother to disguise it and right now they seem like a fringe movement. But they're gaining ground because things that they're saying are creeping into the vernacular of the mainstream, some mainstream MAGA people.
Speaker 1:So I'll talk about a few. Uh, candace Owens, who, amazingly, I used to be such an admirer and then she went anti-semitic. So number number one Candace Owens, I think, might be an idiot, because I once saw her not want to, she literally defended that she thought there was a possibility that the earth was flat. I'm not making this up, you can search this stuff up. It's an otherwise intelligent woman saying well, you know she was doing the weasel and I don't understand that at all. Some things are just objectively true. The earth is not flat. We have pictures from many, many, many, many many. We have millions of pictures from space proving it how there's a lunatic fringe, and it's one thing if that they exist among the literally crazy. But when someone like Candace Owens, who holds herself out as a spokesperson, won't come right out and say it is just beyond belief. But that's not the what, her belief. That bothers me the most, it's her latent anti-Semitism. It's her entertainment of Jewish conspiracy theories.
Speaker 1:For those of you who think that there's a possibility that there's some great Jewish conspiracy, number one, it's important to consider number one the only banks controlled by Jews in the world are Israeli. There are no major American banks or European banks controlled by Jews. The Rothschild family was deep in banking at one time in Europe. They're out and, as far as I know, all the major banks in the United States trade publicly, which means they're owned by their shareholders and the management is not particularly Jewish. The biggest bank in the world, the most successful bank in the world, is JPMorgan Chase. Its head is Jamie Dimon. Jamie Dimon is not Jewish. I believe he's Lebanese. Actually I'm not positive, but I know he's not Jewish. He might be Syrian, one of the others. Anyway, it's pointless to bring up his background, because he lives in New York City and knows plenty of Jews. He's the furthest thing from an anti-Semite.
Speaker 1:I don't mean to point out that the head of the largest bank in the world is an Arab and an anti. Not at all. I'm a huge admirer of Jamie Dimon. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm saying that the idea of Jewish control of banks and therefore the world money supply, is absurd. There simply are no banks controlled by Jews. Then, of course, outside of Israel, bank Liomai is controlled by Jews because Bank Liomai is Israeli.
Speaker 1:I mean, I don't know what else to tell you, but I don't know what else to tell you. But I don't think that denotes or connotes even a world conspiracy of Jews. You know secret cabals of Jews, like in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. A book that's been circulated, still is being circulated actively in parts of the Arab world and by the anti-Semitic groups. You can find it probably in any local office of the American Nazi party, if you can find such a thing. This was a book written by the czars secret police that made up this whole story about the elders of Zion, the centralized Jewish group.
Speaker 1:You know Jews are like libertarians you can't control them. There is no, there is no head rabbi, there is no Pope-like figure, there is no convention that rules over Jews are the furthest thing from centrally controlled. And yet everyone who thinks the Jews are controlled think the Jews are all conspiring, mostly the joke among Jews and I speak as a Jew myself. I mean you put three Jews in a room, you get 25 opinions. I mean I just pulled that number out of the air. But Jews don't see the world as black and white, they see it as gray. Consequently, they're constantly arguing with each other. If you ever watch what goes on in the Israeli Knesset, their parliament. Jews are not in love with each other all the time.
Speaker 1:Believe me, the Orthodox, which are the ones that you who are not Jewish would recognize with the yarmulkes, the little skull caps and have little things coming out from under their shirts that's called tzitzit, or pray with tefillin, all these different things that they do view the reformed Jews, which is what I am, which is to say I'm Jewish, I am a secular Jew. Let me just say this straight out I honor and revere the worship of God. I really don't think he, she or it exists, but I'm very proud of my Jewishness and I love the culture. So I'm Jewish. I love who I am. I don't necessarily believe, nor do I reject.
Speaker 1:I'm agnostic. I've said it before, I'll say it again I'm not an atheist, because atheists are such assholes. I would never tell a person of faith that there's no God. I would just say I strongly doubt it and I can say the objective reality is there's not a shred of objective, physical evidence that God exists.
Speaker 1:Now, belief was a lot easier in the old days, before science. So when people didn't know why the sun rose and people didn't know that the Earth was not the center of the universe, it was easy to believe that there was a God doing all these things, but now that we know all this, I find it very hard to believe that in a universe where we're starting to discover multiple universes. I find it very hard to believe that, in a universe where we're starting to discover multiple universes thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope and we're seeing all kinds of phenomena that we never thought existed, and we're seeing that in our galaxy alone there's billions of planets, I mean to me strange credulity, but at the same time, who knows, I could easily be wrong, digressing slightly, going down the rat hole of is there life on other planets? So far we haven't found any. Maybe we are alone. Maybe there is a God. Maybe he picked out this one little tiny planet, this one little corner of this one little galaxy among billions and trillions of galaxies, where he's going to or it's going to. Or maybe God is not universal, god's just the God of our planet. Maybe the Mormons have it right. Maybe everybody gets a planet. I don't know. I don't know, and I don't know is a word that human beings, particularly human beings in power, don't like, but we as antipolitics I as the founder of antipolitism embrace. When you don't know, don't act. You know, it's really very, very simple. And if we followed that simple rule if you don't know, don't act, think of how much simpler the world would be.
Speaker 1:But back to the subject matter. Today these people on the new right are infiltrating into the movement, these ideas, these in the shady, dark corners, these anti. You know they pretend like we, like Jews. We just don't like what Jews do. Kind of thing is a very dangerous thing. Understand, folks. I'm not saying this just because I'm Jewish. I'm just going to tell you an historic fact. Any civilization that has persecuted Jews on an organized basis has ended up going down into the ash heap of history.
Speaker 1:Okay Now, if there's a God and Jews were his chosen people which, by the way, means something different than what you think it means chosen to bring law to mankind. It doesn't mean chosen to be special and the only ones to go to heaven. That's bullshit. Jews don't really believe in heaven, which is really kind of interesting. The afterlife thing is not a big deal in Judaism, but anyway, I don't want to digress down to religion. That's my problem. When you know a little bit about a lot of things, you can digress into all those things with your little bit of knowledge and sound like you're smarter than you are, then you find yourself in a conversation that's nothing to do with what you're talking about. So let's stay back on these people creeping in Now. Right now, the economy is good, but we're starting to see warning signals. So President Trump this week and I'm back on subject here, stay with me President Trump this week went to the Federal Reserve publicly. I personally think just I don't understand why he did it, where he went over and looked at this construction project. I do understand politically, but anyway, trump is constantly in motion.
Speaker 1:I think the guy has the world's worst case of ADHD, and I'm not saying this to be funny. I suffer from ADHD. I, for example, I have a hard time sitting through an entire movie. I find like I have to get up and like get a popsicle or something to suck. I I feel like I movie. I find like I have to get up and like get a popsicle or something to suck. I feel like I'm there are always. Whenever something occurs to me, I feel like I need to do it, even if I'm on my way to doing something else.
Speaker 1:That's kind of like what it's like to live with ADHD. It can make you incredibly productive because you have your eye on a million different balls, but it can also make you incredibly unproductive in the sense that you don't focus long enough. So anyway, of course, another feature of ADHD is that you can hyper-focus. So a person with ADHD attention deficit for those of you who aren't into the initials what we find out when we get interested in something, we can do the opposite of not focusing. We can focus to the point of we don't hear or see anything else. It's kind of the bipolar disorder of working people.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I don't know quite the way to put it, but Trump definitely has it. And so we have a million things going on, and when all these things go on, it's hard to keep track of the underlying story. And the underlying story here economically this week is that interest rates, mortgage rates, are at 7%. So Trump goes over and he sees Jay Powell and he's beating up on Jay Powell because the real estate market is dropping nationally Now home sales are dropping and so on and so forth, and Trump is blaming the interest rates at 7% on mortgage rates, and that is a little high as mortgage rates go. But why are mortgage rates 7% when the discount rate is far below that? And the answer is folks. The Federal Reserve doesn't set interest rates. I know that people think that they do, but they don't. All they do is set the interest rate that they charge the banks when banks run out of cash and need to get their hands on some money to make big loans in the short term. I'm being simplistic. There's more to it than that, but that's basically it as far as what interest rates do on the long side.
Speaker 1:Right now, government bonds are paying 5%. Now the government bonds aren't issuing them at 5%. The government isn't issuing bonds at 5%. What's happening is that they're being discounted in the market so that they, in other words, if you have a $1,000 bond, bonds are always issued in the $1,000 denominations and the bond is being issued at 3%, which means it's paying $30 of interest annually on the $1,000. 3% of $1,000 is $30, right, okay, you've got it. Now the market says we don't want to lend money to America long-term at 3%. We want 5% because we see that America's financial house is in disorder and we're a little unsure that America's going to be able to pay it back. So to take the risk, and that's what interest rates are. They're the price of money based upon the risk of whether the money will come back.
Speaker 1:The financial markets and when I say the financial markets, the billions of people trading in the bond markets globally are saying we want 5%. So what happens is that the existing $1,000 bond is discounted to $600. So if you go to sell the bond you paid $1,000 for and you're collecting 3%, the new buyer is going to want you to discount it to $600, so that the $30 interest being paid is 5% of 600. Do you get it? That's how bond prices work. The price is discounted so that the interest you're being paid is equal to what you could get on a new bond from someone else issuing 5% bond. So, anyway, to make a long story short, the markets are telling and the mortgage market is 7%. The markets are sending a flash signal that the housing market is a bubble and it is. So what would happen and I'm going to tie this together now what happens Right now?
Speaker 1:Everything looks good, and the one kind of dark spot and Trump sees it is this housing situation, but it could easily spill over into the stock market. I mean, for example, tesla stock is highly dependent upon EV sales, and EV sales have turned to shit since the big beautiful bill killed the EV subsidy, which I, by the way, agree with 100%. You shouldn't have to bribe somebody to buy a product. But here we have an enormous company that makes up a gigantic percentage of the Standard Porsche 500, as well as making Elon Musk the richest man in the world, that suddenly their core product that they were founded upon is much less attractive and selling much worse globally. China, who foolishly went all in on EVs, is now absolutely wanting to shoot us up. They can't give their cars away. There are fields full of BYD, I think is the brand, and there's a bunch of other Chinese EV brands, fields of these EVs just sitting there because nobody wants them the government.
Speaker 1:And if you go back in my podcast and in things I've written and said over the last few years, you will find out that from the beginning, from the very start, I said EVs were a stupid idea because nobody was asking for them and in the history of the world, no government has ever created a market for a new product. So, based on that alone, I said that ours won't be the first one to succeed, and I'm right. Ok, but it's not right because I'm a genius. I'm right because you can't create a need for something that nobody needs. Nobody was asking for EVs, which you can't. You know they lose their range if it's too hot. They lose their range if it's too cold. They lose their range if they're carrying too much weight. If they tow, their range goes down to next to nothing. Nobody was asking for them, but the government decided we had to have them.
Speaker 1:We spent trillions, not billions, trillions on this waste of time. Now, all of this wasted money, like on what we've done on EVs and everything else, whether it's Trump's fault or not, is all out there in the economy, not to mention our $37, $38 trillion national debt, which is really $100 trillion more than that I'm using round numbers because of unfunded Social Security and Medicare, which now, we find out, is going bankrupt sooner than we thought. So what happens if the economy turns to shit and suddenly Trump's support evaporates, which it will? Okay, because Trump, the whole thing that underlines Trump is he's a businessman who knows what he's doing, and the first time he was president we had a great economy, and now we're going to have a great economy because the big, beautiful bill has unleashed all this creative energy, and maybe so. And if we get a boom, then the end will be delayed. Believe me, if we get a boom, then the end will be delayed. Believe me, inevitably. What's coming is the United States is going to face a choice between hyperinflation and a default on its debt, and it won't just be the United States, it'll be the whole world. And when that day comes, it's not an if, it's a when. At this point, there's no avoiding it.
Speaker 1:I was sitting at a libertarian meeting last week and I was asked by one of the people who was questioning me as a potential candidate what did I think, was you know was going on? And I said you know, what would I do to prevent what's coming? Because everyone's worried about the debt, particularly on the libertarian side, where you know they're pretty skin flinty, if you know what I mean. And my answer was there's no avoiding it. There's nothing that can be done. Now it's too late. The weapon is baked in the bomb, the timer is ticking down. The only question is when does it go off? Now, if the economy remains strong and the stimulus remains strong and the big beautiful bill turns out to be a big beautiful bill, and Trump is right and Scott Besant is right, and we have tremendous growth and the growth exceeds the percentage growth of our deficit, and we get things in order for a time. For a time, things will go along great.
Speaker 1:And then these lunatics on the right, these woke right fascists, and the progressive left fascists. They're exactly the same. You know. The argument that they make on the left is that you know they're socialists and they're open about it, and guys like Zoran Mamdani. But his argument is well, everybody's done it wrong, but we'll do it right. Let me explain something to you guys.
Speaker 1:Socialism has always failed because when you detonate a nuclear weapon, you're going to kill somebody, okay. So when you go into a country that's a capitalist country and you suddenly say capitalism doesn't work, we're going to replace it with state control of industry, to whatever extent you're doing it, you're basically throwing a nuclear weapon into the way things work and the inevitable result will be chaos and death. It's happened every single time. Every time socialists think well, you know, it wasn't Stalin, it was the system, don't you? This is what people don't get. The greatest mass murderer, or it's Mao Zedong, another socialist mass murderer, pol Pot, another socialist mass murderer, I can go down the list of socialists. Now socialists will all say well, those were communists. Communism and socialism are synonymous terms. There's no difference between them. It's just communism is the ultimate goal of socialism. You know, socialists, they try to soften it and call it democratic socialism, call it whatever you want, but central control is a failure. But they always blame it on the person.
Speaker 1:The reason that all those people died in Russia was Stalin. The reason all those people died in China was Mao. No, it's Stalin, which is who I know much more about than Mao only because I was a Russian linguist and worked at the National Security Agency and I'm fascinated by all things Russian and I'm very well read In terms of Russia. I'm very well read in general, but I'm very well read in terms of Russia in particular. Stalin was an intellectual, a brilliant guy. He was picked by Lenin because he was the most able of all the early Bolsheviks and as Lenin started to have a series of strokes, he was placed in a. The office of general secretary was created, which is what the head honcho in the Soviet Union was called. The general secretary was created by Lenin to keep things running. While he was recovering from his strokes, he didn't think he was going to die. No one ever does he died. Stalin was the logical guy.
Speaker 1:Stalin was a dedicated communist and a believer. But when he went to collectivize agriculture in the Ukraine and he replaced private ownership with state ownership of the farms and turned them into what's called a kolkhoz, which is a fancy Russian well, it's not even a fancy word, it's just the Russian word for basically a kibbutz, like they did in Israel. The same thing, only with state control. Only in Israel you can leave the kibbutz. The reason there was no mass deaths in Israel is that it was a choice to live on a kibbutz in Israel. In Russia, everything had to be a kalkhuz and the kalkhuz was a nuclear weapon in the lives of agriculture. So it killed millions and millions of people. That wasn't. Stalin didn't set out to kill millions of people, he just recognized it was the only way to get to the socialist ideal.
Speaker 1:When you have a true believer in a philosophy, which is what socialists are, they will justify what comes after they take power. First they say it's not going to be us. Then it is us, because there's no other ways to do this. You have to break eggs to make an omelet. Well, the same thing is true on the right, and if you let these people in the door, it will evolve into full-blown fascism very, very fast. Fascism is arguably sort of what we practice now.
Speaker 1:Trump is a practicing fascist in the sense and I don't like to use it in the Hitlerian sense, because Hitler wasn't a fascist, he was a national socialist and, in fact, for this discussion, no-transcript debunking particularly groups on the left by submitting ridiculous things to leftist academic papers and submitting them as treatises when they're complete nonsense, and then they publish them because they don't bother to read them and they basically made fools, particularly on the issue of gender dysphoria of people on the left. That became a pariah. Well, he started doing it to people on the right, so now he's a pariah to everyone and one of the groups he did just to prove his point, similar to what I'm saying now. Very similar is he took the Communist Manifesto. He took six pages of it, basically the summary of what it is that Karl Marx wrote, and he just changed out, you know, instead of proletariat he put the working people of the United States or what you know. He replaced out certain words with more nationalistic words and he submitted it verbatim, the Communist Manifesto, verbatim, okay, with just a few words changed, just to hide the word communism within it and socialism. He took out every reference to communism and socialism, replaced it with nationalism, submitted it otherwise verbatim to the American Reformer magazine and they published it. And then, when they discovered that they had been made fools of, they said you know, we actually do embrace it. I mean, that's national socialism.
Speaker 1:Hitler was a leftist, not a rightist, he was a socialist. Only he allowed private business to function so long as it functioned in service of the state. So he let corrupt steel be corrupt steel so long as corrupt steel made the steel for his tanks. So here in our country, our military industrial complex, our energy establishment, our defense, you know, it's all at this point being run for the national interest. That is what fascism is. The government is dictating the policies of the country and as long as it works, no one's going to notice and it's going to seem benign. But the minute it turns ugly, that's when the blaming comes in and that's where the anti-Semitism will flare up and that's when things can turn really, really ugly. And that's why the right is just as ugly as the left and both sides need to be avoided. And yet it is inevitable.
Speaker 1:I think the story that the press mainstream and non-traditional are missing is that we're setting the stage for a civil war between socialism and fascism within our own country and we don't even know that we're doing it and the way out is anti-politism. Why? Okay, quick review Anti-politism says that serving in federal office, state office, is a different story. I don't speak to state, I just I'm just going to digress quickly and explain this. I don't speak to state government because states can't print money and since states can't print money, they can only damage themselves when they're mismanaged. They can't bring down the other 49. So I think antipolitism will work in most states, maybe not all states.
Speaker 1:If you're a very sparse state like, let's say, wyoming, that has less than a million people, has more cattle than it does people. I think it has more horses than it does people. Antipolitism, by the time you break out the population, you might have too small a pool to get a decent selection to run a state government. In other words, if you have to pick a bunch of state legislators I don't know how many people are in the Wyoming state legislature, but let's say you had to pick 30 or 50, you might have too small a pool to be doing random selections over and over and a lot of people. I can see where it could be cumbersome on a local level because the pool isn't large enough to get a good random sampling, but on the other hand I could be wrong. About that too, I just don't really speak to it. I haven't given it a lot of thought, I haven't thought it through. I will leave it to other intellectuals within the movement down the road to think that through On a federal level, which is what I'm speaking to, by setting up the requirement that you have to be in the top third of income earners over the age of 35 and not have a criminal record. Those are the three qualifications.
Speaker 1:Everybody who has achieved something in their life and has a couple of gray hairs basically has common values. Because in order to achieve success in a free market capitalist economy which we're still at least majority free market capitalist you have to play by the rules, and the people that succeed are almost always people that have a family life. It's almost always people who are married. It's almost always people who have children. It's almost always people who go to church or synagogue or mosque. It's almost always people who have children. It's almost always people who go to church or synagogue or mosque. It's almost always people who prioritize the needs of their families over anything else. It's people with basically good, solid common sense. That's how they rise to that position, regardless of their color.
Speaker 1:So you know, like when we talk about the problems within the black community in the United States and that about 55% of the black community lives either lower between lower middle class and poverty, there's still 45% of the black community, 45% of 13 million. How many people know that? It's just like 40, it's 13% of the population. I think it's like 40 million black people. Yeah, that's about right. 45% of 40 million people is close to 20 million people somewhere. I just did that without even doing the math. But that's a lot of successful black people who, by the way, share the values with successful white people and successful Asian people and successful brown people. Values remain the same because it's the only at least successful within the system. You eliminate the extremes and save the country from the fascism and the socialism, because A you don't get the idiotic.
Speaker 1:Young people are dangerous on this, because young people want immediate help. So on the left, you have 32 million young people buried in student debt that they have no hope from getting out of, they can't bankrupt out of. They can't stop paying on. They can't stop paying on. They're stuck. And this debt is so large and so insurmountable and the degrees and certificates that they got if they even got a degree or certificate in running up this unbelievably available debt has put them permanently behind the eight ball, to the point where they know they'll never be able to buy a house or start a business. Consequently, they feel that capitalism has failed them. Consequently, they've become socialists. That's what's going on in the progressive movement. That's how Zoran Mandani won in New York with, you know, mostly a white vote, because it was disaffected white intellectual kids who ran up enormous student loan bills and now have no way to pay them and feel that capitalism is to blame.
Speaker 1:It's easier to blame capitalism than your own stupidity for taking a loan for a worthless degree. You know as ridiculous as the student loan program was, if anyone had an ounce of sense they wouldn't have borrowed money to get a degree in African studies. They just wouldn't have done it. But you know they didn't think and now they're being hoisted on their own petard. They made a horrible mistake. Well, because of this, you know, enormous mistake on the part of 32 million people.
Speaker 1:We have a burgeoning socialist communist movement in this country and I know I'm simplifying, but I'm just talking about the basic elements of the base. Then, on the right, it's a little bit different. On the right, you have the vast bulk of people who just feel like they're tired of being blamed and they're at the extreme fringe of it. And then someone comes along, like Nick Fuentes, and says it's not you, it's those fucking Jews. And he says it in a really, I mean, this is an old message. This has been going on for thousands of years. It's a tempting message to disaffected people on the right and we are playing with it. We don't see it. We, you know, the mainstream pooh-poohs it. Oh, there's not that many on the right, oh there's not that many. Yeah, there's millions of them. And you know what? The Bolsheviks took over Russia as a teeny, tiny, little minority. Read your history. Teeny tiny Minorities can take over majorities when the majority has their head stuck up their ass, so far they can't breathe, and that's kind of where we are. And that's kind of where we are, and that's why America needs to be anti-political.
Speaker 1:So pick up your copy of A Radical Reset at Amazon. It's on Kindle paperback and hardcover and pick it up. It's the Manifesto of Anti-Politism and why it is the way out of this mess. Anti-politism is the way out of this mess. Thank you very much. Share this podcast with your friends. Share this podcast with people that will listen.
Speaker 1:I know that I sound like a fringe lunatic at this point, but the radical becomes reasonable when the shit hits the fan. And, my friends, it is inevitable. The shit is going to hit the fan, whether it hits tomorrow or a year from now or five years from now. It's going to hit sooner than later and we had better prepare for it or we could all find ourselves living in either a communist or fascist country, and I know that sounds hyperbolic, but that's what the people of Germany thought. Germany was the most liberal, educated country in Europe until Hitler got his hands on it because of a little economic upset, and it was a lot of economic upset and a lot of national upset. I don't mean to belittle it, but that's how you get it. And if we find ourselves hurtling into a depression of maximum proportion, that makes the Great Depression look like a walk in the park, which is exactly where we're headed.
Speaker 1:If we're headed into either a hyperflation or a full-blown collapse, otherwise decent people seize on horrible things, and if there's not an alternative, we're in big trouble. And the alternative is not hoping for more of the same. A savior is not going to come out of the Democratic Party. A savior is not going to come out of the Republican Party. Because of the very nature of politics, because only sociopaths and psychopaths go into politics anymore I'm making a broad generalization because of the politics of personal destruction. Antipolitism gets rid of all of that and turns public service into just that service, not career. It turns it into duty, not ambition.
Speaker 1:And that's where I close today. Thank you very, very much for joining us, joining me, not joining us. I'm a singular person For joining me. I'll be back on Monday. I will not take another day off. I just just so much going on. I shouldn't say I won't do this and I won't do that. We'll see what tomorrow brings, but as things stand, I'll talk to you on Monday. Have a beautiful weekend, enjoy your family. God bless you, god bless your family, god bless America. And have a beautiful weekend.
