t winning the general you know the general vote. They just have to win in the key states. So that would suggest that Trump probably has like an overwhelming advantage in winning the election because if he's at two points ahead in the general that would be better than basically any Republican has done since Reagan. Give me a history fact check. When was the last time if ever a Republican won the e…
← Previous segment →e absolutely taking you off the drug. Now if two years later it looks like you couldn't handle it we'll talk about putting you back on but we're going to have to take you off it to see if you have any chance at all of maintaining your weight. Shouldn't that be the rule? That you're guaranteed to get off it but we'll watch it and if you can't figure out how to do it on your own we'll have to put you back on because the drug itself can't be completely safe is it anyway?
So there's a movement now. There's a book by Jones somebody named Jones who was talking about the white supremacy founding of the country and wants to remind us that the original exploration of at least of white people to the Americas was super super racist which I didn't actually know. So here's something maybe you didn't know. This author talks about the doctrine of discovery. So back in 1493 back in Columbus days the Pope put out a doctrine of discovery that said any land not inhabited by Christians was available to be quote discovered claimed and exploited by the Christian rulers. Did you know that? Did you know that the Christians believed that if they found land that wasn't run by Christians they could conquer it because they were Christians? What's that sound like? That sounds a little bit like the radical Islamic thing going on right now. All right so the Catholic faith and Christian religions could be exalted and spread everywhere because we were the good ones I guess. And it became the basis of all European claims in the Americas that it was basically a Christian right basically to take over anything that wasn't already Christian. That sounds worse than anything I've heard America do yet. That's pretty bad. Yeah boy.
Was it, I think I saw Vivek Ramaswamy saying that you know he sort of understands why people want to tear down statues of slave owners. Right you might not agree with it but it's not without an argument. It's not without an argument. Slave owner you know is that the message we want to send? But as Vivek says why don't we replace them with people who were the opposite of slave owners? And he mentioned two people in particular President John Adams and President John Quincy Adams who apparently were not slave owners and worked very hard against the evil slavery. So we do have presidents in the same era as the slave owners who are working very hard on the opposite side of things to try to free slaves and give them legal representation and everything else. So why not build a statue to my relatives? How about that huh? Didn't see that coming. My cousins the Adams presidents. I just assume I'm related somewhere down the line. I'm not descended from them but I might be a cousin of some kind.
Well Michael Shellenberger has a fascinating again article about how the color revolution methods that our government has used in other countries they used it against America to defeat Trump. So the color revolution is when you do a bunch of nonviolent things which collectively destabilize the country. So it could be protests in the street it could be lawfare it could be anything that's legal but would destabilize a country. That's the color revolution.
And as Michael Shellenberger points out the Democrats had previously proposed in both 2016 and 2020. No hold on. As his publication Public reported I'll just read what he said. On Wednesday political operatives and journalists these are Americans held a summit called the Transition Integrity Project or the TIP in 2020. Right so now a bunch of important Democrats got together and in 2020 and during that they did simulated exercises in which the players plotted how to challenge the election results in the event of a Trump victory. Just think about that. Trump is maybe going to go to jail or not be on the ballot for challenging an election and the Democrats were planning to challenge him if he won even if it was a legal victory. They were planning to challenge it.
And we know that it's documented the exact thing they're blaming him of they were planning to do. Very much planning it. I mean really really planning it. All right here and here's the punchline. In one of their simulations they had states send alternate slates of electors. That's right they actually did role play in war games in which they did what Trump tried to do with the alternate electors. And then when Trump did it instead of them they tried to put him in jail for it. So the very thing that they were going to do as soon as Trump did it and by the way they tried to do it in earlier elections as well so it was a very common thing. They actually got their illegitimate media to sell it as an insurrection so they could put Trump in jail. The very thing that they knew was legal because they'd done it before and so legal that they even war gamed it and documented it as a thing to do. Amazing.
And then Michael Shellenberger says the Democrats quote insurrection narrative rests on manipulative arguments and cynical language games and this narrative has been used to destroy a foundation of our democracy the right to vote for the candidate of your choice. Now this is a case of everything is exactly as bad and rotten as you thought it was. It couldn't be more of a worst case scenario and apparently it's all documented. It's as true as anything's ever been true. It's all documented.
Let me say it again. Trump will not be kept out of the election. He will not be jailed and he will not be prevented from running. Do you know why? Because that's too far. That's just too far. There is a line and in case Democrats are wondering where the line is there might be other lines but that's definitely a line. Yeah if you keep him from winning using a trick I can't predict what happens after that. I never suggest violence of course but things are going to get real unpredictable if that were to happen. So I almost can guarantee you it won't happen because the risk that Democrats would be putting themselves to would actually be existential. That would be an existential risk meaning the whole thing could fall apart. Yeah so I don't think that's going to happen because I think nobody would take that kind of risk. But Democrats might be thinking they're fighting for their lives you know. There might be somebody well lots of people so crooked that they fear a Trump presidency because he might actually put the crooks in jail and they're going to have to act in a way that's like trying to protect their own life. So I do hope his security service is up to the job.
All right I saw a post by Mike Cernovich. Said the energy felt bad and he was feeling a sort of a negative you know cloud coming. I don't feel it. I actually feel like we're in an awakening and that the awakening will be bumpy and you know won't be easy but that is where we had to go. So what I feel is a huge destabilization and I think maybe that's what Mike is feeling. There's a level of destabilization that I've never seen before. We're definitely destabilized and things are definitely going to change. But here's my being too American part. If there's one thing that Americans are good at consistently good at and nothing's changed like we're still those same people we're really good at breaking shit and then fixing it. Breaking is the hard part. Sometimes you got to break it or else you know you can't build it back.
We're experiencing a great breaking meaning that everything we were doing before stopped working right? Everything everything everything that used to work just stopped working. So we had to wait until it broke before we could really fix it and had to push it a little bit too. And now you're seeing things breaking everywhere. Remember DEI and the ESG stuff. It was just sort of rolling along and we had to break it before it could be put back together in a better way. So yeah I see a whole bunch of things that were just sort of rolling along that now just have to be broken.
I feel far and away more positive forces than negative forces are forming. That's my feeling. Just hunch but I think you can feel good this Christmas. I think you can feel good. To me it feels like Ukraine is winding down because it has to. I think Israel did what it needed to do and the situation that was in Israel was unsustainable. It had to break but first you had first something terrible had to happen before you could do

the extreme thing needed to do to maybe get something stable. This was it. It was an extreme thing. Nobody wanted it to happen but it did. So now they have a chance of building something stable maybe with Saudi or somebody else having some role. We'll see. But I see two wars that are likely to wind down. I don't see a war with China starting. I see China on the decline. I see Russia sort of should…
