Hi, everybody. This is Stefan Molyneux from Freedomain Radio. I hope you’re doing well.
As we sail into the spring and summer of the American electoral cycle for the 2016 presidential
elections, there really is only one question that matters at the moment and that question
is will Donald Trump be the Republican presidential nominee? Now, if you can count and if you
accept democracy then the answer is yeah, pretty much. However, if you live in reality,
there are just a few institutional barriers towards Donald Trump ascending to combat Hillary
Clinton in the upcoming election. So let’s figure out what they are and then it will
end with the rousing speech which if it doesn’t motivate you, please check your pulse.
So of course Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continues to increase his lead
in national polls and accumulate more delegates than his opposition. At this point, Trump
is the clear choice of conservative voters to be the Republican nominee and presidential
candidate to combat Hillary Clinton. At least there’d be Donald Trump or the FBI. It’s
quite exciting to find out which it will be.
Now despite an unprecedented amount of incoming from the mainstream media, endless attacks
and slanders through Republican establishment has attacked Donald Trump Democrats and of
course the lobbyist/ donor class has attacked Donald Trump and this leads to negative advertisements,
he continues to be the clear leader proving the others that sticks and stones may break
your bones but apparently, all the amassed political forces in the universe can only
boost your afterburner.
President and CEO of Concerned Women for America -- it’s Concerned Women. I checked that
- - it’s not Concerned Trolls for America, it’s Concerned Women for America -- Penny
Nance said, “I’m soul-searching right now. There’s still a pathway to defeating
him but it’s getting harder to see that.” I think that’s what we saw in Saving Private
Ryan, a lot of soul-searching on the beaches of Normandy. That’s very, very important
that you soul-search during your time of significant conflict.
Now many of his harshest critics have accepted Donald Trump’s status as the most likely
Republican nominee. Efforts persist to stop him somehow, anyhow, anywhere and anyway.
So here’s the magic number, one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven. If Trump gains
one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven delegates prior to the start of the Republican
National Convention on July 18th, he clinches the nomination.
Now, you may ask and well you may, “Why is there all of these delegates stuff? Why
don’t people just vote for candidates directly?” Well, you see, the answer to that is long
and complicated but basically boils down to one thing, bureaucrats need jobs and management
doesn’t trust the voters. So that’s all you freaking need to know about that.
Now, if Trump doesn’t reach one thousand two hundred and thirty-seven delegates prior
to the convention, he could be denied the nomination via what is called a contested
convention. Now despite he’s the obvious choice of most Republican voters, he still
could be denied the nomination through a series of back row machinations that are best studied
by watching the Godfather movies on Acid.
So let’s look at some of the numbers of what’s been going on. So these are the people
who say—this is a survey of Americans as a whole, not just Republicans but everyone.
Will Donald Trump be the Republican presidential nominee? People started off August of 2015
of last year. Of course when he announced, they said “Fifty/fifty, he’s going to
be self-funding. He’s got forty years experience with the media. He’s very popular, very
charismatic, very successful so we’ll start him off at fifty percent.”
The numbers kind of wobbles a little bit late last year began to widen. They narrowed a
little bit in late January and now it’s—well, let’s just say it’s pretty considerable.
So now, seventy-six percent of Americans say that he is very likely to become the presidential
nominee of the Republican Party and only seventeen percent say unlikely. Part of this presentation
is to help you not take things for granted. Just because people are voting for him, it
doesn’t mean he’s going to get in. Welcome to the post-modern late Roman stage of what
used to be collectively called a Republic.
So, now this is a quote from Republican Rules committee member Henry Barber.
“Trump doesn’t get past just because he has one hundred more delegates than anyone
else. If he can’t convince the majority of delegates to vote for him, he’s not going
to be the nominee. That’s the process. Process is fair. It’s been around for decades and
we shouldn’t change it for the head of Trump University.” All right, so he sounds all
kinds of mighty fine and objective, doesn’t he?
So you see, it’s—you know, don’t shoot the messenger. These rules, they’ve been
carved in hieroglyphics, laid down. They are the third tablet that Moses brought down and
handed by accident to the ancient enemies of freedom known as the current Republican
establishment and so it’s written in stones, there’s nothing you can do. It’s Physics
man. Oh, let’s find out if that’s the case, shall we?
Well, establishment Republicans framed the process as simply following the existing rules,
the Republican Rules Committee meets in fact before every convention and establishes the
rules for that year, yeah that’s right. They defend, apparently to very little effect
the two hundred plus year constitution written in stone but their rules you see, must change
every single year because any way the wind blows. So unsurprisingly, the rules that are
changed as we mentioned every year seem to favor the establishments’ preferred candidate.
Funny how that works.
You know, it’s sort of like you get a lottery ticket and it has a number and then you can
choose the number after the lottery is drawn to find out if you win and it just kind of
happens to match the ticket that you have, pretty good way to play the lottery because
that would only be money, not actually the potential future of freedom in the west.
Republican Rules Committee member Peter Feaman, “I really didn’t like what happened in
2012. The Romney folks silenced to the grass roots with the rule change. We didn’t need
to do this and it alienated the Ron Paul supporters and for what? It was like taking a fly of
someone’s forehead with an axe.” So what is he referring to? Well, RNC’s rule forty
sets qualifications for a presidential candidate to appear on a convention ballot, seeking
to keep Ron Paul supporters from entering his name into a nomination in 2012, Romney’s
lawyers raised the threshold from winning a plurality of delegates in five states to
a majority of them in eight just to keep Ron Paul off the ballot because yay, democracy.
Many party officials believe at the time they had elevated the standard from one that is
too easy to meet to one that was too difficult. Before the official festivities start in Cleveland,
the committee would have to re-write rule forty for anyone other than Trump or Cruz
to even be considered by delegates. So be looking for that re-write of the rule to keep
Ron Paul out, to keep Kasich and other people in. But, you know, hey, they’re just the
rules. They’ve been around forever, what can I do? Well, you can change them like you
do every time.
Erik Erikson said, “We encourage all former Republican candidates not currently supporting
Trump to unite against him and encourage all candidates to hold their delegates on the
first ballot. There’s got to be some way for the Republican Party to save itself. The
final fallback option would certainly be a third party, though the consensus was everyone
would rather settle this on the convention floor.” I don’t know why all these guys
come from Burma, I only have three voices anyway.
So what is he talking about? He’s saying well, the Republican Party you see, has to
save itself from a candidate that is liked by the majority of Republicans. You know we’ve
got—they’re like children with blow torches. You just have to gently take them out of their
hands. They’re moguls. They know not what they do. We must save them from themselves
by denying their democratic vote. So basically they’re saying that if Trump—get this
guy saying that if Trump gets ahead, they’re going to consider putting in a third party
candidate.
There’s been talk of Rick Perry. I don’t know. Why not just flip a coin and go with
Rick Springfield and they’re going to run a third party candidate against Trump which
of course would not necessarily defeat Trump and very unlikely to but what it would do
is give enough votes to the democrats to keep Hilary or to get Hilary into power, to keep
the democratic control of the presidency which is actually quite good for the Republican
establishment as we’ll talk about in a second.
I’ve got to tell you, after seeing a lot of really spineless cuck-enabled jellyfish
non-fighting against the powers that be among the Republican Party after seven years of
Obama, it’s really, really fantastic to see the Republican Party finally coalesce
around a common enemy and works so hard to take down the policies of that enemy.
To be fair, a lot of Republican voters, a lot of Republicans was hoping that the enemy,
that the Republican Party finally rouse itself to fight, might be saved, ObamaCare or sanctuary
cities or executive amnesty. The fact that the Republican Party has finally roused itself
to fight against the candidate the Republicans like the most—what does betrayal taste like?
I imagine it’s a combination of kiev chicken, battery acid and nine-volt electrodes up the
nose. I’m just guessing.
Conservative columnist, Quin Hillyer, “He shouldn’t be president of the United States.
Not only is he not conservative, he’s also just not a good face for the country. The
consensus was that we need a unity ticket of some sort and will let the candidates work
out who the unity ticket is. Obviously more conservative seem to prefer Cruz to Kasich
and Cruz has one delegate right now. So you, if you do the math, it’s probably more likely
to be Cruz-Kasich. We did not come to any, even come close to settling on some third
party candidate. That would be down the line.” He’s not conservative, you see. Now Kasich,
who wants to offer amnesty the first hundred days. Apparently, Kasich complete conservative
but Trump who’s been strong in immigration, at least according to the Republican base,
for many, many years—not a real conservative. The no true Scotsman fallacy -- you disagree
with me, therefore you must be the opposite of everything ideological that I stand by.
Republican delegate Curly Haugland says, “The media has created the perception that the
voters choose the nomination. That’s the conflict here. The rules haven’t kept up.
The rules are still designed to have a political party, choose its nominee at a convention.
That’s just the way it is. I can’t help it. Don’t hate me because I love the rules.
Democracy is pretty popular but it’s simply not the way we do it.” That’s really,
really, really something.
You know what you don’t hear a lot of coming from the Republican establishment the moment—you
know a lot of talk about democracy and how basically they want to stick a fork in it,
rub some marinate on it and turn it on to spit until the crows eat it. You don’t hear
a lot of the word Republic. See, Republic-an, Republic-can, Republic-can’t, support the
republic. And what’s that old great quote from Stalin? Now this guy’s saying, “Well,
you know, you can vote whoever you want and we’re going to choose who we want anyway.
If you don’t vote our way, we’ll just throw out your votes and choose our guy ourselves.”
It’s a great old quote from Stalin which goes something like this, “It really doesn’t
matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes and buy the buy." This is what these
people are saying in public, in public. Could you imagine what kind of smoking the charcoal
flesh of the unborn deals are being done in the backrooms? If this is what they’re saying
in public, can you imagine how many voodoo dolls with orange hair that have been ordered
from Haiti?
Pepperdine University law professor Derek Muller: “It is increasingly likely that
we will reach precisely the kind of scenario that the founders worried about. Divisive
political discourse threatens to thrust a dangerous candidate into office who appears
inclined to govern more like a monarch. That isn’t president. Opportunities remain for
cooler heads to prevail in our presidential elections, state legislators should consider
whether to retake the authorities, choose electors in the 2016 election in an effort
to stop Trump.”
This is one of these arguments that is so insane that it takes a highly, over educated
idiot to make. So they’re complaint—you see, these people who say, “let us reject
the votes of the people and appoint our own candidate” are complaining that Trump might
govern like a monarch. Hello! Projection much? I’m not going to continue because that way
madness nice. You can only chase your rationality so far before it turns and eats your brain.
Republican delegate, Gary Emineth which I think is a rapper with a lisp, I’m not sure.
So he said, “It could introduce Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney or it could be the other candidates
that have already been in the race or out of the race such as Mike Huckabee or Rick
Santorum. All those people could eventually become candidates on the floor. You have groups
of people who are going to try and take over the rules committee.”
“That could totally change everything and mess things up with the delegates and people
across the country will be very frustrated.” No idea why he sounds like the darage accountius
but anyway.
Former speaker, John— still wants to call him ***, apparently it’s Boehner -- John
Boehner: “If we don’t have a nominee”—and then he cried. “If we don’t have a nominee
who can win on the first ballot, I’m for none of the above. They all had a chance to
win, none of them wants. So I’m for none of the above. I’m for Paul Ryan to be our
nominee.” I can’t imagine why Republicans loathe this guy so much.
Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, actually this quote he broke off one of his
nineteen hour marathons because apparently, he’s under the impression that the Republicans
in America want abs, not resistance to the Democrats. So he said, “I’ve been really
clear about this. If you want to be president, you should run for president. We should select
our nominee from among the people who are running for president. Clear and simple, so
no I’m not going to be the president. I’m not going to be the nominee. I’m not going
to be the president through Cleveland.”
When Ryan was asked about his early claim that he didn’t want to be Speaker of the
House, which now he is, only to change his mind, he said, “It was a different situation.
I’m already in Congress. That’s a totally different situation.” I don’t know if
you see this interview where Bernie Sanders is blaming Donald Trump for any violence or
disruptions in Donald Trump rallies and then someone says, “Well, wasn’t it your supporters
who shut down the Donald Trump rally in Chicago?" And he’s like, “Well, millions of people
vote for me and if I was responsible for what millions of people do, I’d have a pretty
bad life.” It’s the same actual interview and it’s just like wow, Mobius strip reality
much.
So, yeah, we’ll have to see what’s going on. Now Donald Trump when he was asked about
not winning the Republican nomination due to a brokered convention said: “I think
you’ll have riots. I’m representing a tremendous many, many millions of people.”
So this is his opinion and yes, it certainly seems possible and Republican House Speaker
Paul Ryan, shocked and appalled fainted on a couch and asked for a mint julep and said,
“Nobody should say such things in my opinion because to even address or hint to violence
is unacceptable. We are getting our minds around that and open convention very well
could become a reality. It could be violence.”
I wonder where he was when, I don’t know, certain actions of society seem to threaten
riots quite a lot. I don’t know if he was talking then but they weren’t directly threatening
his political viabilities.
Remember, people in political power are drug addicts. Like people who are already tasting
political power—when you go up in the hierarchy, particularly in the political hierarchy, your
brain releases Dopamine which is highly addictive. They’ve done this experiment with monkeys.
When monkeys get higher up in the chain, their bodies release more Dopamine. It’s the incentive
mechanism to climb up the faces of other people using your high-end velociraptic claws and
so you’re— basically Donald Trump is threatening to take away the drive of power from a shriveled
Golum style drug addicts and well, what the drug addicts do. They lie and they manipulate.
So it’s not that shocking.
So what is the delegate count at the moment? This is as of March the 20th, 2016. Trump
has 678, Cruz 423, Rubio has 164, Kasich has 143, Ben Carson who has of course left the
race clocks in at eight, count them eight. It is a little depressing at times. I know
some of them are early votes but it is a little depressing to see Republicans voting for people
who have long left the race but anyway—so there are a thousand and forty-nine remaining
and of course you need one thousand two hundred and thirty seven to win.
So delegates needed to reach nomination as of March 20th, Trump needs five hundred and
fifty-nine, Cruz eight hundred and fourteen, Rubio a thousand and seventy-three, he’s
mostly faded out, Kasich a thousand and ninety-four, Carson would’ve needed twelve twenty-nine.
You know, he could do the math which is why he’s not in the race anymore.”
Now, what happens to the delegates of Rubio and Carson? Well, some of them are attached
to particular ballots. Others are attached to more than one ballot. So the rules vary
by states and until this year’s general convention rules are decided, the exact procedural
steps of a broken convention remain unknown.
Like most aspects of government, the entire process is probably an intentionally confusing
mess. It’s like here’s your trade deal. Is it free trade? No, it’s five thousand
pages of bureaucratic legal lease. Wait, that’s the exact opposite of free trade. No, but
we’re going to call it free trade because I know that wets your weasel. So who knows
how this is going to go but without a doubt, the Republican, the RNC is most like to drive
rules that are going to favorites preferred candidate, I assume Cruz and Kasich rather
than Trump and this is going to be a water ship moment in American politics where people
will either get their way by going out to vote or they will realize that voting is just
sham which is supposed to get you to accept the predations of your rulers.
Hey, you voted. That was a process. You got to accept the outcome. You know, it’s a
great way of keeping people down to have to fantasize that they’re participating in
the process and the curtain may well be ripped back from the American political process on
the Republican side at least this very summer. In fact, it is a very, very pointed moment
in not just the history of America but in the history of the world as a whole.
So Trump needs fifty-three percent of the remaining delegates to reach nomination. Cruz
needs seventy-eight percent. Rubio, hundred and two percent, yes he can count too. Kasich,
hundred and four percent. Carson would have needed a hundred and seventeen percent. So
Kasich is eliminated by that cruel fixer known as mathematics and why, why, why is he standing
it out? Is he just to play the boring, slightly *** uncle who pretends he’s the only
adult on stage? No, there’s actually more to it. There’re some rumors that Kasich
is angling for a VP pick in exchange for his delegates but he recently claimed—I don’t
know if it’s a bargaining position but he claimed he’s not interested in serving as
a vice president under either Trump or Cruz.
This doesn’t even mention the absurdity that it’s John Kasich of course who wants
amnesty for illegal immigrants in his first one hundred days. How on earth is he going
to work with Cruz and Trump who at least talk tough about enforcing immigration law and
Trump has talked strongly about enforcing the law to the point of deportation which
of course is stronger even in Romney who was quite strong on immigration? Romney as a governor
rejected tuition subsidies for illegal immigrants and so on. He only talked about self-deportation
but Donald Trump would follow Dwight Eisenhower in actually deporting illegal immigrants.
So there’s some prevailing wisdom. It’s tea leaf reading or thumbing through the monster
manual almost literally but Kasich could be holding on in the hopes of getting the nomination
through a brokered convention and that would be significantly stimulating for the general
electorate on the Republican side.
So I’m sorry. You know I—you can read this but we do as much on the podcast as we
do on the videos. So American Samoa still has nine delegates to offer, Arizona 58, Utah
forty, North Dakota 28, Wisconsin 42, New York where of course Trump is leading widely
95, Connecticut 28, Delaware 60, Maryland 38, Pennsylvania 71, Rhode Island nineteen
and American Samoa, Arizona and Utah are going to vote on March 22nd. So if you’re interested
in influencing the outcome, stop watching this and go get registered and do what you
need to do. If you feel it’s important, April 1st North Dakota, April 5th Wisconsin,
April 19th New York, April 26th there is Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island. So yeah, couple of votes swinging in the air on April 26.
So to close it off, Indiana still has 57 up for grabs, Nebraska 36, West Virginia 34,
Oregon — I don’t know I’m going to be corrected either way. Oregon has 28, Washington
44, California 172. We’ll find out how popular Trump is with Hispanics that day. Montana
has 27, New Jersey 51, New Mexico 24 and South Dakota 29. Indiana’s up on May 3rd, Nebraska,
West Virginia May 10th, Oregon May 17th, Washington May 24th and June 7th, California, Montana,
New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota are all up for grabs.
So I’m going to get out of the box and go full-stream for you my friends.
So look, this is a very instructive moment in the history of the world. Democracy is
it a sham or is it something remotely real. In other words, if you the voters—I’m
talking to you Republicans and the twenty percent of Democrats who are leaning towards
Donald Trump. If you don’t vote the way that your masters want you to vote, are your
votes even going to count? The horse-trading that is going to go on with the delegates
in a brokered convention is nothing short of obscene.
What can go on? You can offer budgets. You can offer special appointments, “Hey would
you like to be on the Postal Recalibration Committee? Hey just give me—“ There’s
nothing, it seems that any corruption laws can bar. It’s not even clear where being
offered direct money for your vote could even be problematic. So it is definitely a kind
of a buck or horse trade at the end and the degree to which Republicans do not trust the
Republican Party can scarcely be over-stated.
You understand Trump is not the preferred candidate. Trump is in general can be characterized
as a *** weapon against the Republican Party as it stands. They do not trust the
Republicans to fulfill smaller government, limited immigration, free market reforms,
lowering of taxation and so on or at least an even lowering of taxation. A lot of people
really like George W. Bush’s tax cuts because what they did was they took a whole bunch
of people off the tax rolls so that now those people can vote for more and more government
without watching their tax. Tax is increased so it didn’t really do any good when it
came to limiting government.
Let’s go back a little bit, March, 2010, McConnell, then House Speaker John Boehner,
they’ve wrote a wee little op-ed about ObamaCare, stating and I quote: “Tax payers can expect
Republicans to stand up for them and do whatever is necessary to prevent Democrats from forcing
such an unpopular, unaffordable bill through congress.” See, they were going to fight
ObamaCare tooth and nail because eighty percent of Americans were pretty happy with their
existing healthcare arrangements and they kind of enjoyed having deductibles not so
high that basically unless you’re beheaded you can’t take advantage of your insurance.
Now, once the bill was passed and Republicans gained power once ObamaCare was passed, both
Boehner and Mc Connell fully funded ObamaCare. They could have held the purse strings and
cut them off and that is not good at all. October 2014, Republican National Committee
Chairman, Reince Priebus told Breitbart News: “We will do everything we can to make sure
executive amnesty doesn’t happen. Defunding, going to court, injunction, you name it. It’s
wrong. It’s illegal and for some many reasons and just the basic fabric of the country,
we can’t allow it to happen and we won’t let it happen.”
And pretty much the same time, Republican Paul Ryan said, “Because we don’t have
the Senate, we don’t have the power of the purse. We’d like to exercise that more effectively
and if we can get the Senate, we can do that.” That of course did not happen. The Republicans
instead fully funded Obama’s executive amnesty. And there is you know where are the Republicans
when congress hasn’t passed a budget in eight years because they get to spend the
next trillion dollars every year if they don’t pass a budget. “Hey, you want to be paid
a trillion dollars a year for not doing paper work? All right, you’re set to go.”
The amount of betrayal that has gone on and for a long, long, long time, the Republicans
in particular and some Democrats have said that illegal immigration, massive additions
of illegal immigrants to tax pay rolls are clocking up and diverting resources in the
public school system and clocking up the emergency rooms and clocking up—one of the main reasons
we need ObamaCare in America or America needs ObamaCare is because illegal immigrants are
consuming healthcare resources at a pretty alarming rate. A language dilution and of
course the vast majority of illegal immigrants vote for Democrats. Democrats in the 1965
basically gave up on trying to convince Americans of the values of socialism and instead just
started importing a whole bunch of third world product socialists who are going to vote for
them forever and that does not seem a particularly fair way of having a debate about the future
of a country.
So there is a Republican Party machine. A big, huge layer funded with untold amounts
of money and probably unguessable amounts of money. That’s a Republican Party machine
and that party machine stays in power if Hillary Clinton wins but it does not really stay in
power if Trump wins.
So they’re fighting for their rights. They’re fighting for their paychecks. They’re fighting
for their careers and their true enemy is the person who ends their power. If these
guys have been promising benefits to Republicans for decades, Trump gets in by completely ignoring
them and bypassing them and he actually does provide these benefits at least to some degree.
They’re never going to get hired again, never going to get hired again.
Of course there is a whole donor class. The American donor class loves third world immigrants
coming into America because it drives down wages. They love the H1B visa program because
they get cheap, pseudo-medieval serfs who get tied to jobs and can’t negotiate and
so the Democrats love the third world immigrants for votes and welfare dependency and all that.
And the Republican donor class wants all the cheap labor because what does it matter about
the future of your country if you’re going to have to pay a buck fifty an hour more for
your maid or your gardener. It’s not even comparable. So there is a Republican Party
Machine that use Donald Trump as a true enemy rather than Hillary Clinton and that is really,
really important.
Lots of people are talking about and even the Bernie Sanders supporters that Hillary
Clinton’s supporters the Black Lives matters, people who are disrupting the Donald Trump
rallies, they say, “Well we’re tired of the influence that big money has on politics.”
Despite when you look at how much Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are raising, it’s
ridiculous. Of course, they’ll be holding to big money interest. Trump is mostly self-funding
his own campaign therefore he is actually free of the taint of big money and he is actually
answering to the people. He takes his measures directly to the people and he’s answering
to the people because he does not have donors.
It’s the same reason why I don’t take ads, why I don’t have sponsors because I
want to get my donations from you. Yeah, you right there. Go, go donate at freedomainradio.com/donate.
Don’t be a free writer. You know the principles don’t pay. Refrain from paying for what
other people pay so that you can consume but I want to answer to the people. I don’t
want to answer to donors. I don’t want to answer to ads. I don’t want to have that
exposure. So that’s the same reason he is actually answering to the people not to big
money interest. Now this big money interest like buying politicians because it’s really
cheaper than having to compete in the free market, to just buy preferential legislation
from politicians. Statistically, there’s almost no better investment in business than
buying a politician. It returns far more than risky research and development.
So they’ve got a great business model where they buy the awesome power of the state, screw
the people, make a lot of money and don’t have to compete that much. So they don’t
like Donald Trump either because he’s outside their control. He is outside their control.
He is not holding to them. He is answering to the people and he gains his support from
the people. So if you want money out of politics, Donald Trump is the way to go. Bernie Sanders
says, “I want to take money out of politics” and he’s like, “Hey, I’m going to give
you all these free stuff.” Isn’t that basically just buying votes by bringing money
back in the politics? No, because I’m, oh, befuddled and I haven’t had a haircut since
the Reagan era.
So the last thing that I wanted to mention, just a little bit of attention but I got to
get it off my chest like my last chest here, you will hear—I guarantee you, you are going
to hear over the next couple of months divisiveness. Donald Trump is so divisive. Look, people
are angry, people are upset and look anyone on the right, anyone who’s a Republican
can look at how angry and upset the left is going over Donald Trump. That’s your answer.
I mean, who should you support? Well, the people who your enemies hate the most. If
you’ve got an infection, what medicine should you take? Well you should take the medicine
that the bacteria that represent your infection dislikes the most.
So, you will hear about divisiveness like, “Hey man, things were pretty peaceful. Things
were pretty calm. Things were pretty non-conflicty until that Donald Trump came along. Now look,
there’s all these delegates screaming and people getting arrested, people interrupting
ambulances and people blocking highways and is stuck. I can’t take it. There’s too
much conflict. It’s making me, oh, verklempt. So you’ll hear a lot about this divisiveness
and funnily enough, this divisiveness is going to be later the defeat of Donald Trump. It’s
Donald Trump’s fault that there’s conflict. No it’s not. It’s not.
Look, in Sicily recently, after many generations of paying protection money to the Mafia, a
bunch of store owners, restaurant owners and boutique owners, what they’ve decided to
do is get together and stop paying protection money. Now this is causing some conflict,
to put it marvelly because you know, the Mafia, they like protection money.
Now, I don’t think I’ve read some articles about this. I’ve not read one article at
all, one article at all that says, things were really peaceful, things were really kind
of even killed and it wasn’t a lot of these really uncomfortable and maybe stimulating
conflicts until these jerks of shop keepers stopped paying their protection money. Now
the Mafia’s out of force and now there’s conflict where before there wasn’t. Hey,
guess what, if you appease people, if you pay them off, there’s no conflict. You know,
while Chamberlain was giving away the farm to Hitler in the 1930s, there was no war.
That Churchill, he just created war by starting one.
Yeah, if you appease people there’s no conflict like if your woman in your house’s been
speeding you up and you submit to him and you don’t question him and you comply, there’s
not a lot of conflict other than the beating up part but if you decide to file for divorce
and you move out and you take the kids and you get to safety and your husband gets deranged
and starts tracking you down and hiding in the bushes and I don’t know, maybe surprising
you outside your condo where the waiter who’s bringing your mom’s glasses from a restaurant.
I don’t know but people are like, “Wow.”
You know, there wasn’t really a lot of visible conflict in that marriage until she decided
to leave him and now, look at all these conflict. Oh slaves, if all you do is bound to the web
and kiss the feet of your masters and Uncle Tom your way through life, look at that, there’s
no conflict. Wouldn’t that have been great if the founding of America, for the founding
fathers to not have any kind of revolutionary war to find taxation? I mean, that just raised
a lot of conflict. We’ve become so spineless, so spineless.
The conflicts exist there. The makers and there are the takers in society and the makers
are getting kind of pissed off at having all their money taken by the takers and I pay
taxes. I have moral objections to the whole system but at least if my taxes were actually
helping people, okay, I can see that despite moral objections, there are at least some
practically positive outcomes. Of course, that would be a split between morality and
practicality but nonetheless the makers whose money is stolen by the politicians to buy
votes from the takers like seventy percent of Americans get more out of the government
than they pay in taxes.
So I dislike having my money stolen to buy people to vote for policies that further indebt
myself and my family and my daughter. Sorry, not cool. So this conflict is there and it’s
going to escalate and either it’s going to be named or it’s not going to be named.
The doctor who diagnosed you did not magically create the illness by naming it. So I get
it. People are uncomfortable with conflict. I get it and there are some people who can
handle conflict and some people who shrivel up like a fast forward race into the sun and
just want to cut themselves into the local rabbit hole and hide until mommy and daddy
stop fighting. I get that and I don’t even particularly condemn it. Some people are willing
to handle conflict. Some people are willing to take on the dark forces of negativity and
destruction in order to build a cathedral of freedom lights and prosperity for those
who come after us. I get it.
Now I am fine with conflict. I view it as necessary. I inherited a lot of freedoms from
people who fought a lot of bad people in the past. I view it as my duty, my obligation
to the bereaved that I have strength, will, stamina and skill to pursue the fight. It
is my fight to pursue because I believe that I’m going to pay this stuff forward. I’m
going to pay this stuff forward. I inherited freedoms, those freedoms are being threatened,
I’m going to enhance, maintain and expand those freedoms to hand it on to my children,
yeah by the way, your children too. It would be nice if you joined us out here in the barricades
of intellectual challenge and the pointing out of hypocrisy and pointing it out—we’d
be great.
Posse intellectual, MO join us up here, shoot off some arrows, help us out, great but what
I don’t want and here’s what I really, really hate. Not full of a lot of hatred.
I got a few little dark spots. You know, I’m a sun. There’re few sunspots.
People who don’t want to name the elephant in the room and get freaked out when someone
says, “We got to change things for the better, we got to confront it—” “Oh no, you’re
making bad people upset.” I get it. I get it, you want other people to fight for you
freedom. I get it.
I’d like it if other people had fought for my freedom so I could go out and play tennis
instead but they didn’t so it’s my job now. It’s fallen to me and it’s fallen
to you, should you have a spine and a love of the future and a love of virtue enough
to get the hell off your couch, put down your gaming heads and fight for some kind of God
damn freedom. Now, if you don’t want to do it, if you’re going to make the choice
to run away and hide until stronger and better people than you have fought the good fight
and restored the intellectual cathedrals necessary for our freedom to shine through to where
we are, if you want to run away, if you want to hide, be my guest. I don’t want you up
here anyway because all you’re going to be is in the way. I’m going to trip on you.
You’re going to hand me a banana instead of a sword or a sword instead of a banana.
I’m either not going to do very well. I’m going to fight or I’m going to stab my gums
trying to eat a sword.
I get it. It’s not your realm, ladies. It’s not your realm. All I ask is if you are a
coward and you want to hide from the fight between the makers and the takers which hopefully
will resolve in a purely verbal fashion although I’m not sure how well that’s going go
as time goes long but I remain positive about the intellectual fight. If this is not what
you want to do, if you want to run and hide while stronger and better people fight for
the freedoms which they will regretfully hand to you as a result of wanting it for themselves
and their own culture and offspring, I get it.
You want to run, you want to hide, then go run and hide. Get out of the way. Get out
of the way. Go play your Warcraft. Go watch your cat videos. Go post your photos of what
you eat on Facebook. I get it. That’s where you’re at. That’s where you live, I guess
is the word. It’s not life to me, it’s not living to me, but that’s the way you
want to exist. Fine. Fine, then stop mewling and complaining about divisive language and
conflict and "You know, this terrible thing happened and I can’t believe it and…”
Just shut up. Shut up. Go home. Adults are trying to do good work and you’re only in
the way. And by being in the way, you may cause everyone who’s better than you to
lose. Yeah, that’s right. You’re a… I’m looking at you too.
