A nasty year comes to an end as we examine the collapse of Trust in America's institutions. A bench grow. This is the bench apparel, today.

If the last year has taught us a couple of things and sought us a couple of things, one, the american people,

only recently and I truly resilient. We had this been in an awful you're, a truly bad, your hundreds of thousands of Americans dead, of covert a political system that has lost the trust of the men. and people, and I think, in many cases, rightly so, institutional infrastructure in the United States, that has undermine our trust in those institutions? The american people have withstood all of this, which is why I am optimistic, despite all of that, going into next here because the republic still stands and, more importantly, I think that Americans are tough minded enough till withstood this awful year and moving forward. I that there is every possibility that things could get better. In spite of all the obstacles we face, but one thing has become clear above all else, middle of all of this, and that is we need new institutions. We need to install Since all we need to remain the institutions that currently govern us and not just talking about the? U S, government and I'm not to talk about the people who staff up

the administrative agencies in the: U S: government, I'm talking about Hollywood, I'm talking about the scientific establishment, I'm talking about social media! I'm talking about corporations, while we have watched over the past couple of decades is the complete. making of all the institutions in which Americans at place their trust. In fact, the only institutions where the constituency didn't really change erratic, those are. The institutions have been attack by the new fangled institutions like the military and the police. those are the institutions that are under assault. All of the other institutions have basically been hijacked by the power of the left and militarized in weapon eyes against you, I militarized Nathan weapon by a group of people who truly leave that they are? These select, they are the elite. They are the people who should be running your lives. They speak a common language, they will join and people who do not big, the common language and their willing to close all was a power to people who do not think the way they think and the cut. conscious of their ideology are incredibly dangerous that they know We believe in the free exchange of ideas. Many of them they no longer believe in individual freedom,

individual rights, they believe in a utopia. scheme whereby they get to effectually equality of outcome above all else and the Americans. Look at that, and they rightly say I don't trust these institutions that are trying to cram down a version of reality that doesn't exist on me and then telling and then tell me that I am some sort of heretic, if I don't go along in order to get along, in fact is Sang for literally years at this point, I think that's really what the trump phenomenon is and was having trump is just a middle finger to all of these institutions that demand your fealty, while simultaneously undercutting you, demanded that you we in them that you repeat the nostrums that they put in front of you and then proceeded to use their institutional power. In order to undercut alot of your values, I think Trump was just a giant pulse. middle finger. Didn't I think he continues to be that I think that why has generated the enormous amount of love from his base that he has? I think it's way generated the enormous amounts of hatred from the institutional left that he has, but to understand how deeply rooted this battle is and what's going to happen in the

coming years, and this is where things are getting worse, but I think the battle has just begun. I think that, no matter where we stand at this moment and no matter, What happens when, when Joe Biden takes office and in January in late January, borrowed some sort of cataclysmic occurrence? No matter what happens, then, I was going to continue and it's gonna get worse, but I think the american people our weight to the battle, I think trumpets, had a hand in waking. The american people up to that battle Trump was not elected to govern, is the reality. Tromp was elected in order to fight the culture war. That's the truth of it. If you ask people what, love em, they don't love him because the policy another walks out there. Now people like me who, like a lot of firms, policy but the reality is that the reason from hasn't outsize to fan, base or addicted and devoted to him is not because what He's done on taxes, it is not because of conservative judges; it is because he does it fight you caught the culture battles and the culture. Wars are the place that this country, currently living it's gonna. Be that way until it's either. Thence down on the cultural war, by left or until the institutions themselves are either

polished or alternatives, built or infiltrated by people who think differently what we are watching the battle over the institutions Trump and the Democrats, all that stuff is it the tip of the iceberg? Better, must pass it that that is the most obvious manifestation on this giant culture. War has been roiling America, for aids on ended, it really does go back decades, but we have now reached, I think, the culminating point, and for we think it culminated over the last couple of weeks with this frankly unbent readable unbelievable push by the CDC to tranche out vaccines by race, I think that is the combination, because if there is one institution that Americans should have really ultimate trust in point. It is the institution of science. I don't mean science as an ideology. I mean that science is meant to simply be hypothesis and rebuttal. It is meant to be testing and its management to be falsify. Ability is meant to just be adding to the body of human knowledge

asking questions and getting objective answers, and yet science has now been hijacked in pursuit of politics, and we have seen even that which has risen above disease made subject to the pursuit of politics and attack it really is a microcosm of where we are as a country and where we are civilization in a time when Americans should have, trust me. I've ever had and scientific isn't establishment or are we have developed in I'd of nine months, the people hated most the pharmaceutical companies inside of nine months, they developed it seems that ninety five percent are effective in preventing you from getting the disease and apparently have beneficial effects. Even if you do get the disease in weakening the effects of the disease, but as a triumph of science, greater any try emphasise certainly since the the when a man on the moon- and it really is that monumental, a triumph of science, we have seen doctors and medical workers, we have seen nurses going into hospitals with without proper protection. We see them in the hospitals right now working extraordinary shifts. We see the hospitals pact to the gills, with people who have covered

and these are medical workers or at their fighting for life each and every day, and yet the amount of trust that we have in our public health experts right who are the core, the scientific institutions infused with politics as an all time low, and it should be at an all time low, because, as with all other institutions and american life. The scientific establishment has been infuse. With a certain level of woke ism right. The people who run out health, a stout and has been true since the beginning of the covered pandemic, whenever became very political very fast, and I was saying for months the beginning of the colored pandemic. I didn't understand why but he becomes a political. We should simplify, while the data and then determine what was going to save many lives and balanced that out with what was going on. infringe on the few as possible freedoms and allow us to live our lives as normally as humanly possible, while protecting the most lives. A Dutch, though, should be obvious priority of concern. Instead, eternity dreamily political, extremely fast and became overtly political, particularly during the George Foy protest. When fifteen too, Twenty six million Americans went out in the streets in the middle of pandemic and public health experts. Ebony me

just from places like Harvard went out there and suggested that it was perfectly ok for you to protest for George Floyd, but it was really the average The you couldn't go to a funeral for grandma outdoors, but you definitely could go out there and shout about Rachel Injustice in the United States, and they said this in the name of science, where institutions yet perverted? And so, as I say this, this final sort of It is the biggest story. I mean that there are a lot of people today hoarding to talk platforms. Pardons they're allowed people willing to talk about the the national Hence authorization actual talk about that little bit later on in the show, but the big story of the last month is not any of the stuff. The trump has been doing because we, will happen with that will happen with that right. Either bills will pastor bills will capacity their trumpet leave, office or or something cataclysmic will happen, but One thing has already happened and it is indicative of a deeper problem and it got its why you got trump because Trump, as I said about american politics. Basically, since two thousand and sixteen Trump is the corner

he's not the murderer. Everybody wants to treat it as the american politics is perfectly normal and perfectly okay until Trump arrived on the scene. That is not correct. All Frumps heresies were pre approved by the left he just came around. Are economic? Do not have the right, ok, but in any case the biggest story of the Honestly, I think of where several years is the fact that the CDC was going to tranche out life saving care based on race, and They wonder, then people wonder why don't you have trust in the institutions? Why do you just want somebody's been coming to break things because when you lose institutional trust, everything gets torn down to the ground So if you want to rebuild institutional trust, what you need to do is stop infusing all of the institutions with their politics and you're. Starting to see this I think that this limit to MR getting some people on the moderate left are coming round of it. I think so. Moderate liberals are coming round to the sagaciously who normally right for the Atlantic. You write to over at at persuasion, community, why I'm losing trust in the institutions? He says who should be first him.

he's got a vaccine against cover nineteen. These decisions are never easy. There, many in considerations, highly trained moral philosophers can have deep disagreements about them though I myself, have studied ethics and political philosophy for much my economic rear. I am deeply grateful. I don't have to make those judgment calls, but for all of those differ these there are also some bedrock principles on which virtually all moral philosophers him long agreed. The first is that we avoid levelling down everyone's quality of life for the purpose of achieving quality. It is on asked when some people have plenty of food while others are starving but alleviating that inequality by making sure that an even greater number of people starving clearly wrong. The second is do not use a descriptive characteristics like Wraith or race or ethnicity. Delicate medical resources to say on patient rather than another, based on the color of their skin rightly strikes most philosophers and most Americans as barbaric. The centre for disease control and just on both of those principles overboard in the name of social justice in one of them, shocking moral misjudgments by a public body. I've ever seen the CDC. Considerations of social justice to recommend, provide

vaccinations to essential workers before older Americans. Even though this would switch on models. We too much weight, death toll aftermath and public outcry. The agency has adopted revised recommendations, but though these are a clear improvement, they still violate the two bedrock principles of allocated justice and are likely to cause unnecessary suffering on a significant scale. when he goes into the details as to how all this happened and how the how politics infused, the entire consideration here he says this, these, he was effectively about to recommend that a greater number of african Americans dies that the share of African Americans receive. The vaccine is slightly higher. Does what I explained yesterday and the day before on on the show, was pointing out that if you of its twenty year old, essential workers who are fortunately, more black over sixty over eighty five year old grin there's one proportionately more white you're, still going to end up killing in absolute number of black people. More higher absolute number black people, because black people over the age of

I was still in a group of over the age of eighty five and they are the most likely to die for a twenty year old black central worker. likelihood of dying is extraordinarily well. Such as Yahoo, among says, in blatant vial of the levelling down objection. Prioritizing essential workers in the name of equality would likely kill more people in all relevant demographic groups. As criticism of the recommendations mounted epidemiologists, mostly circled wagon, but thankfully the pressure was too strong to ignore. At a meeting that had before the mounting controversy been expected to rubber stamp the recommendations that had I ve been unanimously accepted the CDC course. It now suggested more complicated scheme. Once more The workers had received the vaccine, both Americans over the edge Seventy four and a central frontline workers would be vaccinated in the second phase. Americans over the age of sixty four and the broader group of all remaining essential workers, would get access to the vaccine. But this too is idiotic. The reality is that if you are going to look at the actual proportion of people dying from nineteen makes zero sense to not tranche older people.

before all these essential workers. As looking at these tat yesterday by what is mean eyewash among the covered risk that he's going to see these, he covered risk is heavily strike by age. According to the CDC, the desperate the death rate of coal for those about the age of eighty five is six hundred and thirty times the death rate for those between you of eighteen and forty nine and eighteen and twenty nine for those between seventy five and eighty four, the rate is two hundred and twenty times higher for those between five and seventy four. The death rate is ninety time tyres. Why? What in the world? Would you prefer rising essential frontline workers, where twenty four over people or sixty seven in one group, people are ninety times more likely to die than in the other. Room doesn't make any sense organs all social justice woke ISM created by experts who are now who are now going crammed down their agenda on you, so here is my gosh. As he says my disposition, I trust the phone we have established in institutions and the decent intentions, my compatriot in a country with rapidly falling social, trusting, growing political dissent

I try to hold onto my belief that some key organisations are doing their best until a few years ago is obvious to me. I can trust what is written in the newspaper or what I am told by public health authorities. Now I am losing that trust, I believe, the most people, including the journalist right for established newspapers and the civil servants, yeah federal agencies are the heroes in their own stories. They generally mean wealth, but I no longer trust any institution in american life to such an extent, I'm willing to rely on its account of the world without looking into important matters on my own. So amongst the mainstream liberal, revisit this guy's a Democrat, and he is right, one of the many Americans now believe it? from which undermine the institutions instead undermine themselves and then, from pointed out that they were hollow. That is what happened over the course of the last four years as usual and conclude the Since, for this, mistrust are perfectly encapsulated in reports. The mainstream newspapers published about the CDC recommendation, the right up in the New York Times, for example, barely mentions the It is a last minute change of heart, a faithful reader of the newspaper

record would not even know that an important public body was until it received massive criticism from the public about. You sacrifice thousands of american lives on the altar of a dangerous and deeply illiberal ideology, and this is right because the Woke ism the war capillary the creation of the new ruling class that exist across institutions. It isn't. Merely relegated to the medical, not merely relegated to the CDC exist across institutions been we evidence bewildering watching closely for last several years it made incredibly manifest this year? What questions we had about our institutions. Institutions set themselves on fire over the course of the last year. Themselves on fire, they thousands hosing gasoline and they let him out and going internet. yeah, that's gonna leave the choice for Americans, because what the left is going to do is there now with the with the or of the presidency behind them, when jobs and takes office. The electoral colleges voted when that happens, of these forces are gonna, be brought to bear in double strength they normally would be through

in so many on, the right were invested in trumpets because they saw Trump. I think in many ways correctly as the man standing in the breach they sought from the guy. was taking on these institutions made her trouble that was willing to say the unstable sure and then she said ridiculous things- sure sometimes you treated dumb stuff, but the reality is who is also saying things that needed to be said in a way. The many Republicans were shy. Many Republicans Russia to take on these institutions, trunk was never try to take on the institutions. A lot republican Ok, you know what that's good, I'm glad that we're doing that. So the question is: if from prison there and binding and binding is going to be standing behind the institutional powers that be in ramming them forward. What are you going to do to fight back? What are we going to do to fight back I want talk a little bit more about the collapse of our institutional. Try And what it means for the coming year, what for the last year in just one second, first, let us talk about your sleep quality. So last night my baby she'd been slipping through them. She will get five o clock this morning and she decided it was time to party the Good NEWS,

The between the time I went to bed in the time I woke up, I slept like a baby, which I need right. The Leslie began, the the better quality to sleep has to be.

Okay, so what is the ideology of the new ruling class? The idea The new ruling class is that they are going to achieve ultimate utopia, the equality of outcome. Then you ideology of the work of the ruling class is welcome its the stuff, that's taught at major universities, and so this this ideological poison seeps into bloodstream. The other universities, the universities, have been completely taken over by a radical left contingent that sees human beings in terms of group and ceased social justice which, as you say, group justice at the expense of individual, just as the believes that Americans can be categorized by race by sex sexual orientation, and then he called it

of the victimized can launch itself at the table water, superstructure of american society in order to do that, however, you have to re normalized America's institutions. You have to take over institutions that we're not design to cram down divisive and disgusting ideology you have to take over those institutions. How do you do that? What you do is you start off with a small core of people are extremely angry and extremely loud. That is how you take over institutions. It is a process that vanished before is called renationalization renewable, and this is the story again of last twenty years. Accelerated radically over the course of the last couple of years. Really, since two thousand ten, I would say- but certainly the last couple of years and since trumped up over renationalization the institutions when Trump became president. There is an open effort to take over institutions that had not yet been taken over or institutions that were already far left. All it takes is a tipping point, a number of people in order to tip in entire

institution so renationalization there, which is a is a term that was used by me, Nicholas Taliban, the author of the book, blacks, one he talked about how can use a process to basically. what a motivated minority cow, a larger, largely uninterested majority, into going along to get along so tell em in his book. He gives the example if you have a vegetarian daughter in your family and therefore members the family, and so the vegetarian daughter can get her family need budgetary and all she has to do is say: I'm not going to eat a meal, but is not vegetarian. You can do what you want, but I'm only gonna eat vegetarian now, mom has a decision. Is she going to cook to separate meals, one for everybody else and one for the daughter or if you just gonna, go one and everybody sorted goes along with. It now means our families eating vegetarian because they loved the daughter right because she's transient minority or not, for minority in ideological minority we can now. Take that family, you put them in a block party with four other families when their families, whose listen

because our daughter rallied vegetarian, you can eat what you want, but the reality is that the the more we're not going whatever me dishes. You may now the person who had the bottle. He has to decide joy or two separate meals, or is it easier for me one meal and everybody just deeds vegetarians now, based on in person you have basically, twenty people are eating vegetarian. You can keep re normalizing up this way right, that's what you can do, and this applies in politics as in life, so tell a bright in his in his book He says you think the because some extreme right or left wing party has eight. The support of ten percent of the population or Canada will get ten percent of the votes. No, these baseline, voters should be classified as inflexible and will always look for their faction. Some of the flexible We can also vote for that extreme action. These people are the ones watch out, for as they may swell the number of votes for the extreme right but is not enough to have one stubborn person. You have to have a tipping point.

Ray you needs actually have a certain number of people are going to go along in order to get along any have to have a certain number of people are part of this hard core coalition. So what the left has done is they have created a coalition. They understand that in a company of a thousand people, there may only one b, one transgender person, and if that transgender person says, I demand that a single person in the company start using preferred pronouns end and we declassed file the bathroom the other nine hundred. Ninety nine people may say not we're not gonna do that, but if the transgender person can get together with people who are in favour of other minority rights at the at the corporate level and then former and now you got twenty percent of the population, all something for each other's causes. Right. This sort of solvency politics you can take over and then institution as a whole. his name's surgical on his positively. Some cases only about twenty percent. The population is needed to support an extreme view in order cause radical renationalization one way of core, Eating an intransigent minority coalition would be the activation. what he calls frozen prejudices at the risk of it

intolerance or a moderate broad majority, while maintain a solid Corbett's. In other words, you start with more motivated wardrobe. You don't worry, Were you alienate? You appealed to the prejudices of other vulnerable groups and then their forced to choose between joining with you and there. Start enemies, people they actually don't like So this is what has happened inside corporations is happen inside Hollywood, it's how Hollywood somehow got more left out of the course of last four years, now the academy awards, declaring, for example, that they are only going to give a ward based. Whether the story line of features protagonists who are of particular race or particular sex or vertical sexual orientation or whether a certain number of supporting players are art of these particular group dynamics you corporation, mirroring all this court sort of stuff. You see the media, which has been completely overtaken by by woke ism, pushing. Jen extraordinarily hard. Ok, so here's an example, so the the Google is one big companies on the planet. Google has gone nearly completely walk,

several years ago. There is this whole controversy because James, more who is working for Google at the time he put out a memo, diversity inside the halls of Google and which he suggested. That may be the reason why you didn't have, as many Female engineers is because women didn't tend to go and engineering as much or because, if you look at test wars and engineering women tend to occupy the middle of the belcour woman tend to occupy the tail end of the bulk of pay, and he was without a google for this, a Google has become lately won't because they are so afraid of their own employees. There framing proceed by the larger group of Americans as intolerant and bigoted, but, more importantly, they're afraid of employees, they're afraid of their own staff, and you don't have to show evidence see. All you have to do is be intransigent. You dont, have to show evidence that woke ism is true. All you have to do is insist that people cater to you and me. We'll begin catering to you. I did this is what happens across the political spectrum, and it certainly is happening on the left, and it's happening with regard to our institutions serves a is a story from hot air. Today, talking

about a former Google diversity recruiter who quit and talked about how terrible Google is to black people. Now that that is not true. Ok, like the idea, the Google is radically badge black people. The evidence on that is extraordinarily scanty. Doesn't matter this woman, whose name is Christina Curly. She announced on Twitter she'd been fired and September after six years with Google. She worked as a diversity recruiter. Her particular project was to help google higher students straight out of historically black adversities and colleges. Ok, now immediately would table that doesn't sound like Google is stronger, racially discriminated towns like them. You know he's not against. People a chance as though there trying to racial discrimination paper black people by specifically recruiting at historically by colleges and universities, but this person rights the region. Google, never hired in H Bc student straight out of underground into one of their key engineering. Rules is because they didn't believe talent existed at these institutions until I showed up when I started a Google, I quickly became aware of all the races Bleep put in place to keep a blackened

students out their pipeline, I would simply called out shady recruitment practices, such as screening out resident students with unfamiliar stooped, school or university names. First of all, that that is not a shitty recruitment practice. If I don't recognize the name of a school and then I do recognise the branding of Harvard theirs of sorting that goes on when it comes to engineering jobs, for people immediately assume that if you went to Harvard amending rightly so, that Europe family of higher iq than a person wants local Jim Junior College. You ve never heard of colleges sorting mechanism, that's basically all that it is at this point, but this person is too busy accusing Google of racism and cruelty. So she says every single day for six years I fought tirelessly to provide black and brown students the opportunity to launch a career intact. Often I found myself arguing and pleading with white women. recruitment teams for internships and full terminals begging first where more than qualified to be considered for offers nations because of my am adamant, advocacy of black and brown suit.

to be fairly unjustly considered. Rosa Google experienced active abuse and retaliation from several managers who harassed me and many other black women, despite stellar performance. Metrics weakened, which can be supported by multiple data points has repeatedly deny promotions: haven't compensation cut placed on performance imprudent lands and I leadership opportunities, yelled at intentionally, excluded from meetings etc. The final finale she says, F, Google F. The way Google treats black women and black people. They do not want black talents. Take it from me most for black queer woman recruiter, who they fired in the middle of an M f pandemic, because they were too hearing you call them out on their racist. Bs is the second profile black employed, renounce leaving Google this month and the backlash within the company led to a group called the Like Google network meeting with Alphabet CEO sooner peach, I with a list of demands regarding all sorts of things, much three normalization of Google in process. We cannot know they ve already re normalized. Google is already a far left network great. If you

you google certain terms on Google. They ve already jogged there. Their search results to come up with certain left wing ideas. Ok, but putting that aside, this is way that institutions get captured, particularly corporations, so corporations are so deeply afraid on every level of being sued, they're, afraid, free, bad publicity and, because seeking a uniform corporate culture? It is easier to make everybody uniform by adopting woke ism than it is to make everybody uniform by rejecting welcome once, you ve seen the corporations taken over every single day. Every single day I've been receiving notes from people but interviews at top fifty corporations. They are being asked questions like what have you done to fight him, and systemic racism. I'm sorry, nothing to do with being engineer the law, nothing else. It makes assumptions about the world simply aren't true but better to me, the crowd, then to actually stand. Up to lie. We'll get more of this, just a woman at first,

If you have something you don't anymore, why wouldn't you just give it away, makes you feel good and get a tax deduction? Well, what? If you're talking about a car? Well, there's only one place to do this. The best we can I'm talking about cars for kids time is running out to donate your car one, its sitting in the driveway, and that is not even on wheels anymore, donated to cars for kids claim a tax deduction. Yes donating your car is tax deductible. Their tax deduction is based on the sale price. Our cars for kids worked hard to sell your car for the best price. That means more funds for their charity and a bigger tax deduction for you. Your car donation is fast and free. It usually picked up within twenty we're hours, often even on the same day, and cars for kids will take your car, even if it is not running. Cars for kids makes the process of donating. How quick and easy it takes just about two minutes they handle the details. All the paperwork- all you need to do is scheduled pick up inside the title as a special. Thank you for donating your car cars for kids. Get you a vacation, voucher good for a three day. To night hotel stay persuade us on good second wagon, the great tax deduction. Third, you get navigation. Doubt that's pretty good stuff go to cars for kids, dot com, Slash Ben you get professional service; convenient pick up

maximum tax deduction vacation doubt your end, you're doing good great deal. That's cars with a k, K, R S, number, four: kids, dot, org lifespan, cars for kids, dot, Org, slash man. This is why Americans, don't trust corporate institutions because they see now that they see apple saying that stands up for Woke ISM, simultaneously saying that it wants to stand in favour of slave labour in China. They see Lebron James, suggesting that America systemically races at the same time that he is yelling at zero Morey from the from the Houston Rockets for standing up for freedom in Hong Kong, willingness understanding, Here we all understand that our institutions have been perverted to push certain political ends. Tromp was one middle, are thrown up a doubt, but I think more middle fingers are to come because there one big lie that is told: this is what unifies the woke ideology in one big lies that America in the West are terrible awful moment very that places and that all of this has to be torn.

the sad and in order to do that, because that is an unpopular viewpoint in America, where you have to do is have to silence everybody there's a silent majority in this country. They are being actively silenced, and I can tell you that the number of calls and emails that I receive over the course of a given weak from people who say I'm afraid of speaking up, I'm afraid of saying what I think is true, I'm afraid I'm saying it in college classroom. I can't say to my high school friends: I can't pull up on social media and we're not talking about saying awful, terrible things. We're talking about putting up pictures of yourself fourth of July parade we're talking about saying that America's not systemically racist as have the most Americans tend to believe. You say that you think it's bad to kneel for the flag- is now considered a breach of protocol. The only way you can get away with this is by silencing and the way you get away with this by silencing is by leveraging the institutions of power on your behalf. The right is not incorrect feel that it is under assault from every major institution of our society, because it basically is true and when I see the right I don't mean small govern

Libertarianism, I mean social value, I mean a certain level of respect for american history and a belief in deeply american principles like individual rights. Like constitutional rights, like the declaration pennants, these things are deeply controversial in today's world and if you signify support for them in your opposition to people try to tear them down. This puts you not only on the chopping block. It puts you at the risk of being excised from polite society, that is what everybody has been feeling over the course of this year. The pandemic only exacerbated particularly in the wake of the the racial protest that we saw, but what we are living through. Is. It is a real, normal operation of all american society via the institutions. This is, always been a dangerous aspect of american life. Right. Social America relies on social pressure, not just governmental pressure. They now we're getting it from both ends, we're gonna, get a government there's going to be fostering the sort of instead she'll discrimination against conservatism, or traditional social values or against even basic positive use. Americanism we're gonna see that, from from the

but social life matters a lot more than that America, because It was small, historically always reliable, and social and social, pressure in origin in order to enforce compliance with sort of social norms. That could be good depending on what social norms are being enforced. The problem is the social norms. Right now are real really bad the ones that are being enforced, electors Togo pointed out the dangers of this going all the way back tonight eighteen thirty one hears what to Tocqueville rightly says the absolute government of one alone. Despotism struck the body crudely so as to reach the soul and the soul. getting from those blows, rose gloriously above it, but in democratic republics. Germany does not seen in this wise you saying that when you go to the tyrannies of Europe what you see is an absolute despotic government, cramming down its viewpoint and everybody else, but people tend rebelled against that. He doesn't democratic republic. That's that's how it happens. He says. It leaves the undemocratic republics. Tyranny does not proceed in this way. It is. the body and go straight for this, all the more no longer says to it. You shall think, as

do or you shall die. He says you're free, not to think. As I do your life, your goods- everything remains you, but from stay on your a stranger among us. You shall keep. Privileges in the city, but they will become useless you for, if you crave them, of your fellow citizens. They will not granted you and if you demand, only their esteem. It will still pretend refuses to you You shall remain among men. We shall lose your rights of humanity when you approach those like you, they shall flee you. As impure and those who believe in your innocence, even they shall abandoned you for one Lee them in their turn, go in peace. I leave you your life, but I leave it to you worse than death, right that it what's total says, That is what we are undergoing right now we are undergoing the the use of social pressure in order to completely destroyed not only all social comedy, but any ability to dissent. We ve now the point where, by the way this week the former The ACL you, an amazing quote the former head of the ACL you the other day. He he put out a a statement in which he taught

with reason magazine and here is what he says. He says that member states show you. These are the people. We should find free speech people who used to believe that even now, should be to March through Skokie heavily jewish area in Chicago might IRA Glasser, whose before had of the Israeli here's. What he said is it. This is the new american which we live. He said whose visiting one of America stop law. Schools quote the art was rainbow there as many women as men. There are people of every skin, color and every ethnicity it was. Kind of thing we dreamed about it was it I'm looking at this audience and feeling very wonderful about it and then, after the peace discussion person after person got up including some of the younger professors to assert that their goals of social justice for blue for women for minorities, while kinds were incompatible with free speech, and that free speech was an antagonist for people who today claim to be passionate about social justice to establish free speech as an enemy is suicidal, but here's that he's not suicidal, because social justice is not actually in favour of free speech is not in favour of individual rights, is in favour of you shutting up right. That is what the

petitions have been militarized. Militarized. On behalf of this is why you are not allowed to talk about the fact in America is not systemically racist in public places where I'm lucky, I got to do it for a living, but if you say that in a corporate boardroom You're fired if you say that in university, yoga graded down in ostracised by a classmate, if you say that even in the halls, science You will be shouted down forgotten The centre for Disease Control is about tranche of vaccines based on race in a free country, we're supposed to be it is in visual, so you're not wrong to feel like you're under assault. You will never I feel like you're under assault. You are under assault yourself from Hollywood result from the scientific community now under assault from social needs. Europe which which will shut down your ability, even talk. I get ready for that. That's that's can be the big one. Extra Ignacio spate of big name banning the son of my friend everybody's than pointing out twitter is our not banning from the many he's, not president, you sing it from corporate and which is most dangerous of all, but the most probation

what you see. This is from the media. The media have been institutionally captured and they pervert every one of other instances right. So the media have basically become an activist group there in the business, promoting, woke ISM ensigns there in the business of moaning, woke him in social media and cracking down on social media and trying to prevent social media from being well to disseminate ideas that you like, but the data this is why media has basically devoted itself to trading to pressure places like Facebook and Twitter and you cancelling people. They don't like. Right. It is the media or driving all these narratives about why it's good to protest in favour of of defending the police, but its very bad. To protest in favour of being able to open your business, It is. The media have been pushing Hollywood even Hollywood to the left. Is the media have been treating corporate and as evil and wrong headed if they dare to stand up for their own ability to make money, and so the first Sahara If I back that, only get to that in just one second, how we fight back here, because that really is the big question we'll get to that in just one moment. First

Can now send it in whenever you're ready go two legs. You Baxter com, slasher, piracy, fifty percent, while supplies last in a moment we'll get to what we can do in This year has now we're getting began to get what can we do next year? If I back against this, because it feels like all the guns are pointed in against them who's that are traditionally american. We're gonna talk about what we can do to fight back. First, anywhere is excited to announce. The historical doc is here is a power eleven. What we saw is now available exclusively for daily, where members originally least as an audio podcast for Apple and Spotify. What we saw takes a detailed look at the power of admission to land. A man on the moon was the culmination of a heated, decades long space race between cold WAR rivals the United in the Soviet Union. The podcast explores one of America's greatest accomplishments.

through the eyes of the millions of Americans who lived through it, power loving. What we saw is available to watch as was listen to over the daily word. I come or honour apple, tv or rogue who up this year just one peace, while the new concept of coming down the pipeline, I'm talking about like a baby of new content, but I met a new show. What kind of zones that's coming, probably March, the entire programme? Library is now bill, behind our pay. Well with a brain entertainment channel with mainstream film mainstream tv. Now let me just as we have new investigative team now miss tight and make a real pitcher. Ok, all the subs expensive, its expensive to produce and. compete with the with the establishment media that seeks to destroy all the things you believe it right investigating was miss not cheap entered. it is super, not cheap. That means that we need your help. If you want to see somebody compete, if want to see an alternative to what you are out there. You don't like. If you want to turn back the tide, you should join the fight. It mean This could continue to enjoy, but you also helping out become a daily where insider above member for twenty percent off the code watch over a daily we're not lashed subscribe, makes

download or apple tv or Roque. We to get all of our content on your big screen, including our podcast, end specialised rooms that is daily work. Slash subscribed to get twenty percent off your membership, could watch and access to all of our new and existing content or listening to the largest fastest growing consumer Pakistan radiation in the nation So how do we fight back against us, Really the question because, as I say, I think everybody feels it at better. I think the people who are or even a mainstream liberals feel this. The reason I notice that there are poles talking about how many people are afraid to speak up and how many people feel the pressure not to say what they think And the answer is an awful lot of them. In fact, the only sub group of Americans who believe that get to say what they believe on a regular basis. Are people consider themselves progressive? That is it. That is the only group of people in America bipolar. who feel they get to say what they believe. So how do we fight back against this? First of all, we're gonna have to rely on people, believe it or not, or moderate, liberals or sick of watching the Overton Window Shut now

beginning as can be self preservation and harbours weekly letter that you saw earlier this year were a bunch of antitrust, liberal, signed a letter saying we don't like cancel culture and let you know what happened so. If you actually defended people, we disagree with. Not just you agree with self in saying that you wish you hadn't been cancelled, maybe ruination open up the origin when all little that wider, Mr Langen, moderate liberals, but I think that coalition is building. I think the backlash is building. I think that there is there is no cultural energy behind the idea that there has to be said. Sort of alternative here, and so there are a few things that we can do: there are few things that I think are actually pretty necessary here to buy back, and I think that this is going to be the battle for the next year as people get thrown off, and social media as as social media get hijacked by a binding administration as binding attempts to use the power of government to cram down his own particular woke viewpoint, and I know that he isn't by nature. What

his adopted woke is amiss his own. As this happens, there can be a few things that have to happen. One conservatives are gonna have to take a page from Trump, not in terms of treating whenever complete, but you have to embrace truth and not niceness. I know there are a lot of conservatives out there who are worried that if you speak truth, it is not nice It's one of the reasons why my slogan had been for years now: facts: don't care about your feelings that actually, something that came up in the midst of a discussion about what sort of balanced use with people now is pointing out the biology, males are biologically mail, and somebody said we have to respect the pronouns. My simple facts: don't care about your feelings about facts, do not care about your feelings and we're gonna I'll have to push or with that attitude, because it is niceness that has been the chief weapon used against the right. I think the right knows this by the it's why the right is never denominate John MC Remember our Mitt Romney again. Those days are over. There's gonna be no more of this civil disorder. Civil concession to language with less there's nothing. We anymore premise: accepting from the right That is one of the legacies that trumpets had, but I think that that was

it happened almost regardless. It's why tat grew scheme and second right, so that, for the fact is that. Niceness is going to be rejected in favour. standing up in favour of virtue and here's the thing standing up in favour of virtue is not mean. It is just truth. Standing up in favour of virtue not mean that you are a jerk and means that your saying things that are true unnecessary. It also gonna have to engage in commensurate. This is something that we have not yet done. This mean We do have to reach out to people or in the middle. We do have to reject a suburban women who turned away from promptness last election cycle, we are going to have to reach out not just two two people who already agree with us, but increasingly we're gonna have to reach out with a conservative message that speaks truth boldly and draws in stark colors Two to people who have not historically vonder republican by the weather has in fact right one in outsize number of his vanished in the last election cycle. Contrary to all previous opinion, He did really well in Texas with his, and if you really want Florida with Hispanics one announced I share. The blackfoot

as alienating eating. His can be speaking. Truth bluntly sometimes has in fact, and even if you say well, yeah trumpeted always speak truth right from some things that are false, are these and a lot of things that are false. But the underlying message is that the institution suck are attempting to drag you into their own ideology. He was not about then. I think everybody sorted got that right. Selina Zito had this formulation early on in terms in campaign was had people take from seriously, but not literally- and I think that has always been for. I think I will remain for because the serious message underneath all of this is that this stuff has to stop at the assault has to stop. Ok, then there's another tactic that the right is gonna have to take and this attack I don't particularly like, but Think that we are reaching the point made, something that I myself push when I was the head of an organization called truth revolt. My this is part of Germany Boring and before we ever launched daily, where we are. Launched a mission that sort of reverse media matters. The idea- and we said it clearly- was mutually assured destruction, because here's the thing

If you can re an organisation as large as Google, simply by cobbling together a coalition of the supposedly dispossessed in order to re from the inside, and you can exercise pressure from the institutions like, media from the outside or to move institutions if you can threaten boycott, if you can threatened Vampa city from one side and move the institution the right as a choice. We hate her set it out and we can and we can let the left do that or we can fight back unless terms, and that means that if we see a come, That is now pushing leftism. We're gonna have to use the same means left not because we, like those means, I don't those means I wish we didn't have to do that, but just with mutually assured destruction where many wishes nuclear weapons did exist. The only thing worse than you're. The only thing worse than you haven't you, The weapons in your opponents having nuclear weapons is your opponents having nuclear weapons and you not having nuclear weapons are mutually assured. Destruction kept the peace, the reason it kept the peace because everybody knew it had to be weapons down, otherwise everything would go up in flames. The writer

in some ways, have become more militant, not less militant Milton's on behalf of Principle guy, not on behalf of personality, not on behalf of just yelling and people, but on behalf of principle, When corporation start, cramming down Robin De Angelo Diversity classes people inside the organization going to have to say no and they're gonna have to unify to say no, and this is really the key point beyond everything else had begun anything else there is going to have to be some level of solidarity that is built up. It is not fair to individuals were inside institutions to stand up, as they say, for, if the ratios a thousand to one against you, you standing up just gets, you fired need to start coalition. Building we're gonna need to start building commute, these are people who are willing to come out together and see. No, we are not going along with this. No, we are simply going to do this, and we need to provide safe haven for people who do get fired from these sorts of positions. We need to provide defence citizens for people who stands up and club dumb head- and that means that think of alternative institutions. That means we need an alternative media for people who are out from traditional media for speaking the truth, it

is that we need an alternative Hollywood structure or people in high Would we disagree with the prevailing woke ISM of Hollywood have a place to go and get their movies funded. to patronize those movies. We need to make sure, people actually watch that stuff. We need to make or that, if you are in the scientific establishment and you're out, it's in your ousted for the grave sin of saying something biologically true that we provide a soft landing for you. No. We provide a landing spot for you a moment when the great mistakes at the writing is that they always assumed that institution since beyond college would shape the people coming out of college. My college, we understood the college's shape the students and they shape them toward woke philosophy but we also assume that now get out in the real world. They go work and corporate land, they don't get a job, they pay taxes and eventually they get more conservative and there were some truth to that. But, statistically speaking, what has now happened here is that people exited college and instead of the institution's shaping, then they shape

the institutions and then my grabbing power, the institutions that they use the institutions to create widgets of themselves to silence. buddy there is a majority in this country- still believes that America is the greatest country ever conceive there still image we in this country that believes that America is systemically racist and is filled with good people want to treat each other decently. That still believe in human virtue and believe in individual rights, their stolen already in this country whose willing to go out and card every day and believes that that work is for the sole in many cases and that we, and be incentivize people to stay home there still Georgie people in this country If we want to be left alone, and most of all those majority, this country that still wants to stick together, but nor for us to stick together actually gonna have to now create structures for us to stick together, because Benjamin Franklin set about at the at the outset of this entire project. Either hang together or we hang separately. That is worth things

we stance, we make the choice ourselves right now. This next year is gonna, be the test. Are we gonna hang together or are we gonna hang separately? It's easy to splinter in the face of overwhelming pressure. When things look bad When the white has moved to the Democratic Party, it's easy to get discouraged, dont get discouraged, get to fighting because next year is going to be the fight. The fight didn't start with from didn't end with Trump. It's gonna continue now and as less pushes harder and harder, not just means the right he's. Gonna have to come up with better strategies and push back harder, Every arena, not just with regard to voting, but with regard to every cultural and in addition there is, we have to push back we'll have pushed back part, and we do I think that were still majority, and I think that will win. Ok. So before we break I just wanted to one bring you a couple of minutes of something inspiring. So one of the things that we, have done here daily, whereas you put together a fantastic series called the power eleven. What we saw it is eight, it is. A review of the

the greatest achievement in human history, perhaps putting a man on the moon in terms of technological expertise It is. It is unparalleled in the annals of history. Obviously, and a bill was the host of that particular pro. For us. It is now available. If you subscribe over daily wiring get out rogue, who an apple tv, it's a beautiful programme to watch. We did these beautiful visuals that go with it, including all of the old footage, it's great to watch them. and inspiring thing to watch going into the new year, took over to daily, where I come slashed subscribed to build a little bit about eight years of that sounded like already well, I thought that now was great. Bertini right before Christmas. It's a great Humphrey. Their subscribe over a daily wire dot comes ash subscribe. One of the reasons that you should do so is because we have a series of APOLLO eleven. What we saw the host. Is it bill? What we brought it out on audio awhile back, but it's a beauty for videos here is a now is available on apple tv or rogue, who for our subscribers it's amazing to watch bill thanks, rejoined show great you quit Ben and as somebody who still in California. Just when let you know, there's less and less to miss every single day really appreciate that

I think that, after having done the power Levin Series, actually the moon might be a better place for you than California in the very very near future. So let's talk about the power eleven series that you did. Why do you think that that story is still important for today will especially given the trends of the last of six seven weeks or so. You can make a pretty compelling argument that died July 20th, one thousand nine hundred and sixty nine was the pinnacle of human history. It may end up being that way that may have been as far as we got. It may have been the boldest thing that we did the most ambitious thing that we did. I like to think it's not, but certainly as far as history to this point goes, it's the most remarkable achievement in the history of the human species and are one of the things they do in your power. Levin series, as you put it into the historical context, wasn't just a scientific achievement was also a political we ve been considering that it really was part and parcel

this massive cold war that we are having with the Soviet Union at the time. It's exactly right and it was a subset of the cold war. When you had a forty two, your conflict, where you know the nuclear weapons tend to deter people just run off the handle a little bit. It gave both sides and opportunity to compete for world opinion and it gave them an opportunity to compete with pretty much with the hardware that the that the military both countries are put together. Certainly the early stages, the boosters on both sides were intercontinental ballistic missile boosters and the whole thing was about technology and its. We talked about it in the first episode just that the rush shark of Sputnik Papago a russian satellite over head, and then I just a few months later, they put up Sputnik two with a dog. A dog died a few hours into flight, so you got to think you're. I am an american and in nineteen fifty seven, fifty eight there's a dead communist dog flying over my house for five,

times a day, that that tends to focus your mind, an age of thermonuclear warheads, so bill. Little wonder things that I think is fascinating about where we are sort of modern life is. There is the feeling that we may be embarking on a second space age, this time, led by some folks in the private sector, like you on musk and Spacex. What what is the continuum in terms of America's focus on the stars here? Well the work that the private,

space companies are doing is remarkable in this. Is the space age that America really should have its up. It's a free market space age, its eight uses, word sustainable, but it's it's economically sixteenth, sustainable they're, doing it for a profit, which means that they don't get to pull the rug from under our feet. There was an APOLLO eighteen, nineteen and twenty that were built, stacked, ready to go and they were simply cut by Congress. So we don't have to worry about those kind of things with with a private company. All of the great aviation companies like Lockheed Boeing, Hughes, Northrop Raw based on individual companies run by individual men who decided this is what I want to do in Elon. Musk is doing

My only concern right now Ben is that Donald Trump it put together an entirely new, looking NASA and that NASA was a hands off NASA that was predicated on allowing the private sector to get into space into the work they ve always wanted. To now were hearing talk about cooperation with China and were hearing talk about in all sorts of making everything an economic and racial issue, and- and that is the only thing that worries me about these space programme as it exists today. Musk is amazing because he understands that in this in this area, since we don't have the russian through

overhead. He he understands how important it is to make things just plain fun. I mean the launch of a star man and a red Teslas sport, Stern, David Bowe and don't panic from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and then those twin boosters, landing together. As I say, and in the series I saw the moonlighting when I was ten from the of pleasant hotel in New York and when Neil Armstrong, Sir, that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind, there was a real or justice. Roar came up from Central Park Avenue like that, since until I heard the reaction to this crowds, when those two boosters on Spacex Falcon Heavy came back down. Was that same? Sounds that give me a lot of hope, but folks, you should definitely check out of power, live in what we say should check it out visually, because while it is a great audio progress, it is much better visual

can't you see all the images are you can you can see how beautiful the production values are go subscribe over daily wired outcome? Slash subscribing go check that I missed a great Christmas gift for someone built right to talk to you doing a great work out. There great work out their soon already folks, so we have reached the end of the year but don't be discouraged. The fight is only beginning will be here with you next year. hang in there have good holiday stay safe out there. I think the next year is gonna, be a great you're. Only as being good, you're has been a great year. I've been covered is gonna, come to an end the we're gonna fight back. I think that we are going to create alternative institutions. I think we're gonna fight back against the institutional power leverage by left. I think this is the beginning of the resurgence. I don't think this is the the beginning of the end thing is the end of the beginning. Now the real battle array, later today.
