1:18:14 Peter St. Onge, PhD, great researcher, great writer, Mises Institute, Heritage Foundation. Look, there's so many topics I could raise because I watch your stuff as I said a couple, three, four times a week. You just cut right through it and show the hypocrisy. But let me ask you this question before you go into any subjects you want to cover, whatever's front and center for you. This crisis of the Western global elite, the Harvard establishment, they think they're invincible but all they have is invincible arrogance and hubris and chutzpah. I have this feeling of like I'm whistling past the graveyard of doom and it almost feels dirty to be on air chronicling it like we're just voyeurs or like snuff film connoisseurs. I want to stop it and we have to laugh about it or we go crazy but I don't know how to quantify
1:19:09 You're an interesting guy. I'm sure you have similar thoughts or something like mine of just the horror of this and the ridiculousness of a mad elite with an asleep public going over the edge of Armageddon. Yes, I think you've absolutely nailed it and it's enraging. Anytime you see a senior citizen getting hustled into some scam and losing their life savings, it makes you angry. And that's really what's happening here. Part of the reason that I make the videos is that
1:19:45 So much of what they do, they hide it in, you know, jargon and quote-unquote science. And if you take the Federal Reserve, for example, the entire thing is structured to be difficult to understand. So they can hoodwink you so they can get away with it. And, you know, so for me, one of the most important tools we can use to fight that is to show people what exactly this is, what they're doing to you. And at the same time, I'm sure you'll agree with me.
1:20:29 Okay, like you remember when Biden was first installed and there would be these YouTube videos where what they were like disabling the dislike buttons because they were so overwhelming. Right? Like every or you see this on Rotten Tomatoes, right? Where you'll have some critically acclaimed movie that's scoring 98% because it's so woke and brave. But then it turns out the actual public despises this thing. Like every time you actually have a little hint of the people actually saying what they think. They are universally against them. And what's stunning is that that's after K to 12 worth of brainstorming, right? Another four years, maybe another six years if you did grad school. I mean, the average American has been nonstop brainwashed for like 16 years. And then they watch the media and they get Hollywood and they get all this garbage.
1:21:18 So after really an entire lifetime of brainstorming, the fact that we can debate whether it's half, but it's approximately half the population completely rejects this. And actually, you know, when you see little things like the YouTube dislikes and, you know, anytime people can express themselves, whenever Joe Biden goes to visit some town, you know, and you've got people lined up against the side of the road and they're not fans. So what's astounding to me is that We are fighting them. You can debate whether we're equal or, but the fact that it's even a competition when every single kid is run through a propaganda factory, these madrasas of left-wing ideology for 16 years to me is shocking. What it tells me is that without the censorship, right, without the government funding, almost the entire institutional left is funded by your taxes.
1:22:07 Absolutely disgusting. They say donations. What they mean is that a little bit of seed money comes from government, right, to build capacity, they call it, which really just means to go into marketing and then they're going to use that to basically, you know, dilute it with enough voluntary donations that it looks like it's- Sure, so let me back up what you're saying, Peter. ... it's just making society better. Let me back up what you're saying. You're saying historically the tide always turns and you're betting on humanity. So am I. My problem is a lot of times civilizations collapse to defeat that corruption and then we rebuild with the bio weapons, the chemical weapons, the nuclear weapons, and God knows what else. You add that wild card. I want to challenge the establishment to realize, yeah, you can destroy the British empire, consolidate your money, move it to America and make us the new empire.
1:22:58 or set up China as the new corrupt empire. But if we all kill each other and we have a nuclear war, you won't be able to restart. And so I think that's why we could be at the end of history if the establishment doesn't have some pangs of sanity. And I think we're seeing that with an Elon Musk, and we're seeing that with the Peter Thiels who aren't perfect, so that's why they're being attacked, because they're actually smart enough to go, this is not going well. And so can you speak to that? Because here's an example. They ran all the fake headlines like they would, you know, 30 years ago it's been released that a toy company would pay local news channels across the country to say, we're here at the mall, everyone wants the Cabbage Patch doll. Well, no one wanted the Cabbage Patch doll, but there's all selling out. They show two women fighting over it.
1:23:42 They did the same thing in the last three months. Everyone wants the new shot. It's selling out long lines. They stage fake videos like they did during the first COVID lockdowns of, oh, all the sick people in the mask. It was theater and the hospitals weren't full. So they did that and only 2% have taken the shot. So that shows a flat line. They hoaxed us. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. So the scams work that they've been waiting for, Disease X, the big Carnegie Endowment, UN, Rockefeller lockstep plan for world government. They launched it, worked for a while, blew up in their face, they had to pull it back, and now each new trick only works shorter and shorter. It's like when you spray poison on cockroaches, within three generations, they become immune. So comparing us to cockroaches, because the globalist sees that, it's not working anymore, Peter. And so that's why they're in crisis mode.
1:24:36 Yeah, I think a lot of that has to do with the internet. We do have a lot more ability to communicate. We have sort of a stronger immune system against the BS. You know, when you the examples you're giving, you know, radio forever, you had payola where, you know, like every top hit is basically fake. You look back at the BS we got in every single war going back through, you know, Vietnam, through the Gulf War, babies and incubators. I mean, they've always been lying. But I think really the world changed with the Internet where we can now fact check. We can now get alternative views. And you know, you mentioned Elon Musk. I think that so the elite is not a a homogenous whole, right? You've got sort of like layers. It's a wolf pack. It's a predator class and they're going to have ones that are smarter and don't go with the pack.
1:25:26 Exactly. And you've also got sort of concentric circles, right? So you have like the semi elite and the quasi elite and the hopes to someday become elite. You have these sort of layers and a lot of those sort of secondary or I don't know if you call them outsider elite. They're constantly trying to, you know, maneuver and get their way into the center. Yeah, they're contenders to the throne. Exactly, exactly. So those guys are alert, I think, to public opinion. So, you know, you have this process where something like the Internet, like we need some way to communicate and to frame things and to present alternative views. And then there are all these people like Elon Musk who are not quite part of the central elite, but they're they're close enough that they could definitely be a contender. And they're alert to these other points of views. And if they feel like those are
1:26:15 overwhelming opinions and they sort of jump on that. Now, I mean, I think, you know, Elon Musk, for example, I think that he's genuine in his opinions. I mean, he's been really transparent, like he's evolved on a number of topics and he kind of does it in real time. Well, let's talk about his, he also senses this elite is out of control and illegitimate and dangerous. He doesn't want to blow up the future for his children. He believes in having children. So you just said it, betting on humanity versus not betting on humanity. But let's go back, give a prime example. Al Gore did not invent the internet in 1994 with a Senate vote. He just passed some funding to expand it. It was developed by the technocrats.
1:26:53 in the 1961-62 by ARPA and DARPA to be the quote intergalactic, we'll put it on screen, intergalactic communication systems. And this big psychiatrist, super brand at the Pentagon, said we want to have central computers, we'll give people little computers once we have that technology, where we can monitor our propaganda with a giant technocracy to control humanity to make them serve as one but then notice how it backfired on them. So they built this and rolled this out not to survive. Nuclear war with the Russians, that was the public PR, but as an ultimate psychological warfare MKUltra program, and now no matter what they try, it does build out, but not a Russian attack, but a censorship attack, and no matter what they do, it does keep living and surviving. So that's betting on humanity. They built this to control us as a worldwide web of control, but instead it's backfiring.
1:27:50 It absolutely is. And, you know, we're going back and forth, right? So early on in the Internet, there was, you know, you had relative free speech, of course. I think 2016 was really a wake up call for them. Brexit and Trump. Those two things happened so close that, you know, they'd really been coasting ever really for 100 years, ever since the the progressive era. They'd been coasting on the assumption that they were going to win, that they were right. History's on their side. All they have to do is kind of sit back and relax and they're going to inherit the earth. And right, 2016 I think really showed them that this internet they created, that maybe they planned as, you know, this network being out there. No, I totally agree. They were totally arrogant and thought the populace were a joke. And they finally went, oh, we're getting our ass kicked.
1:28:32 Right, right. And so that's why it was, you know, the empire struck back and, you know, of course, censored you, censored a whole bunch of people. They would have kept going. I mean, they were going as as hard as they can, especially during COVID. And that's that's because now they realize that the people are not with them. And in a sense, that makes them sort of more dangerous. Right. Because at this point, I think where they are is they sense that the people are hostile. Obviously, they think that's because the people are idiots that are brainwashed by disinformation, but they do sense that the people are hostile to them. And so that's why they're doubling down on the censorship. And the next step after that is, I think, to be more physical about it and to do more about these people who do not agree with them. So in a sense, it's more dangerous. It was less
1:29:22 uncomfortable in the old days when they were certain they were going to win. Totally agree, but don't they get by any real research? Because you live in the real world. You're not just an academic. You're popular and what you say reaches millions a day, which is the proof of concept. They're not popular. Oh, Biden has a press conference. Oh, they're either Biden or Obama. A thousand viewers. You have one, five million viewers. Same with us. And because humanity does have a common deep Yes. Independent but also communal residents like we're independent but then once we know something's true it chain reactions and that creates the collective but it comes from the individual. It doesn't come from the central down it comes from the grassroots up so so so you're hitting exactly on what's happening. Don't the globalists get look in the mirror learn to be humble I know you're fifth generation wealth out there
1:30:09 But, Lerny, you're the threat, dummy. We are responding to you. We don't want to be aristocrats. We don't want to have the power. We just want to live. But you're forcing us to fight you, and we will beat you. That's exactly what's happening. Right. And that's sort of the saving grace. They have just been so idiotic about it these past couple of years. and I'm enforcing the issues. The gender thing, for example, the public is nowhere on that. Like what the heck? If I were advising them, if I were rooting for their side, I'd be like, just don't talk about that at the moment. Okay, look, you guys are doing great. You're occupying new ground. Why are you getting into a crazy town? The CIA admits they lost the Afghan war after 20 years because they tried to teach Afghans to cut their children's genitals off and the Afghans totally turned against them. I mean, any idiot could tell the Pentagon don't do that.
1:30:57 Yeah, yeah. So in a sense, I'm encouraged. It's like they don't have the guardrails. You know, there was a time in the past where they were evil, but they were kind of smart about it. Right. You know, they were kind of moving step by step and they were kind of bringing the people with them. You know, they would cooperate with Hollywood to get a movie to get you remember Breaking Bad, how he didn't have a health insurance. And I mean, that was amazingly well timed for the Obamacare push. You know, they were kind of smooth about it in the past. And now it's like they just look panicked, like they just grab anything they possibly can, whether or not the people are against it. So in a sense, it's in the short term, it's dangerous. But I think it's excellent in terms of long term prospects. Like what is the world going to look like for our kids and grandkids? I think they're losing. They know they're losing. They still have all the power. They can do a lot of damage between here and there. But I am extremely optimistic.
