Democracy as we know it and uncensored news and information is Being Framed as risks to This Global democracy what is actually happening well let’s discuss look a new narrative is being rolled out in the debates over the 2024 US presidential elections after President Biden called former president Trump a
Threat to democracy in a recent speech I know he’s been saying this a lot but there’s a recent one corporate news outlets began publishing a steady stream of articles based on this narrative now look if we go by Bloomberg it appears that the elections themselves are a
Threat to democracy at least how they’re saying it Bloomberg said this 2024 is the year of Elections and that’s a threat to democracy hear that the year of Elections is a threat to democracy what do they mean well they claim this they say so where does that leave us today
Look at the world in 2024 and it is almost a mirror image of 2016 according to these two individuals there cting and they continue by stating The Longshot unthinkables from 8 years ago are now the The Firm favorites or even just the accepted status quo odds makers put Trump’s reelection chances at
Close to 40% with Joe Biden nearly 10 percentage points back it notes as well further in that 41% of the world’s population is having major elections Sorry probably 41% not 70 and they say yay democracy right and they say not really what with extremist populist parties mostly right-wing On The Rise
Everywhere from European Union to the Pacific Rim let me just dig into this a bit all right they’re they’re saying that the elections happening and again 41% of the world right now are themselves a threat to democracy Now how is an election a threat to democracy I don’t know given the fact
That you’re talking about the Democratic process through which people people elect their leaders and they note that well what is this big threat and then they start talking directly about well uh the threat is similar situation to 2016 as they note it is almost a mirror
Image of 2016 what does that mean that was of course the year that Donald J Trump was elected president of the United States and they note that the essential threat to democracy they’re talking about is the potential reality that Trump could be reelected again chances at close to 40% is they’re
Noting and they note as well that the big problem the world is facing with this Global threat to democracy and the possible end to democracy itself is not an actual end to democracy but instead that the election process may elect people who are what they say extremist populist parties mostly right-wing in
Other words they’re saying it’s a threat to Global democracy because conservative may actually win some some places this year that’s what they’re saying further in they say as for Europe John and Adrian warn that in a terrifying number of cases terrifying candidates who would have been seen as extremist wild cards
In 2016 look the strongest with likely advances in the European Parliament Austria Portugal and Germany and what do they mean by this these extremist wild cards who would have seen them as such well mostly just the big corporate press and of course the left wi which frames
The rightwing as extremist and you know being fair the rightwing frames the left wing is a pretty extreme also depends which side you’re on now look imagine that allowing people to vote in an election is a threat to democracy briefly I would agree with them on one
Point which is that they say the elections in Taiwan do represent a threat to democracy I would agree with that you know I’m actually in iwan reporting live right now I’ll be here till next Tuesday look if one party wants to fold to the Chinese Communist Party acknowledging or saying that
They’re not even a country essentially that’s one of the big arguments in Taiwan interestingly with their political debates right now one party has been talking about you know Independence that Taiwan is a Sovereign Nation and the Chinese Communist party is taken uh taken some issue with that
Because the CCP regards Taiwan as being part of China and the other party the kmt the kuming tong is saying that the DPP the Democratic Progressive Party suggest or saying that Taiwan is a country is provoking China and this is leading the country towards the possibility of War um if your if your
Political position is arguing that you can’t even call yourself a country I’d say that does possibly represent the end of democracy especially it means a gradual moving towards being under the CCP which is a communist country so in a real sense I would agree on that that um
In Taiwan you might you might actually see a real end to democracy but that’s not an extremist right-wing position that’s a communist position and you know if people vote to end their country that’s uh that is an end to democracy at least for Taiwan but the issue in my
Opinion taking this broader context of what this news piece is actually talking about and notably what a lot of other media are saying right now not just about Taiwan but about the United States Europe and a lot of other countries on Earth the big issue in my opinion is
That this Bloomberg piece and interestingly again many many others being published by other outlets almost just like this very recently are grouping all of these political leaders you know into the same camp who just simply in most cases oppose far-left policy and personally I don’t think they’re actually talking about democracy
When they’re saying that these folks are a threat to democracy I don’t think by any means that Trump is a threat to democracy I don’t think that um a lot of the other conservative politicians coming in are threats to democracy in fact in Europe most of the right-wing
You know political leaders are still pretty dang far left it’s just that they maybe oppose you know open borders and so on like that but they’re saying this is a threat to democracy they’re talking about the threat of actual democracy right they’re talking about this to the current status quo of the political
Establishment they’re suggesting that if you oppose these you know the trans agenda or the you know very woke agenda sweeping the world right now or you just believe a country should have functioning borders then you’re an extremist and a threat to democracy this is the unfortunate way this narrative is
Being spun and look it’s not just Bloomberg’s opinion writers saying this either you know you could say oh it’s just Bloomberg and one person’s opinion it’s not just them there’s been a whole lot of Articles almost within a very short time span saying almost the exact
Same thing I’m just going to show you some of these look the Atlantic claims that democracy may not even survive this time around democracy might die in darkness as the Washington Post would suggest but the Atlantic says this they’re saying lots of people will vote this we this year that does not mean
Democracy Will Survive and they say voting will take place in more than 60 countries this year an unprecedented number containing roughly half of the global population but even with all this voting democracy is under severe threat endangered by predatory politicians who rig elections and disgruntled voters willing to hand over power to autocratic
Leaders imagine folks a political party willing to rig elections what would the world do if a political party were to rig an election gee uh have we seen such a thing before the Atlantic is saying maybe not but it might just happened and they’re saying that the most pivotal
Elections will take place in November well election in November being the US election and they’re saying that’s when the world’s most powerful democracy the United States are suggesting decides whether to turn itself over to an avowedly authoritarian demagogue they’re of course referring to Donald J Trump now I don’t personally
Know if Donald Trump is an avowedly authoritarian demagogue but this is journalism according to the Atlantic and look you know imagine that uh when have we ever seen the rigging of Elections and I would I would agree that if you rig an election you’re a threat to
Democracy maybe we’ve seen that before I don’t know maybe that the threats to democracy are already in existence and uh you know it depends on which side of the Alle you’re on and I’d say also you know I’d agree that if you weaponize the justice system to go after your
Political opponents you might just be an avowedly authoritarian demagogue but again this is a is a question of basic reality they’re they’re raising here they’re saying this is not a problem yet but it could be and so to prevent the threat to democracy we need to eliminate the Democratic process
Through which people can choose to vote for the person they want to by striking that person’s name from the ballot itself only by not allowing people to engage in democracy can we save democracy this is what they’re saying in my opinion and look you know that being
Said Trump is also suggesting being fair that he’s going to turn the tables on Joe Biden and possibly have bid indicted if he’s reelected but again let me explain this because it’s kind of a question on like the reality that you’re perceiving let me show you some of it
NBC news says this they say if I don’t get immunity this is Trump writing this if I don’t get immunity because remember right now that there’s a legal case arguing the Supreme Court’s taking it up whether or not Donald J Trump the former president of the United States has presidential immunity or had
Presidential immunity at the the time of the alleged crimes he’s being accused of and of course historically presidents had very broad immunity to the extent where they can even pardon people for some of the most severe crimes you can imagine look Barack Obama was pardoning people who were like you know found
Guilty of being involved with the weather underground and terrorist movements that killed police officers and bombed the Capitol building that was Obama and of course if you can pardon somebody for such a severe crime you would assume the president themselves would also have broad enough immunity
For things of that sort um there’s of course different arguments on this and Trump is suggesting that well look say he has immunity say he doesn’t but if you say he doesn’t it’s not just him who loses presidential immunity Joe Biden loses it Barack Obama loses it George
Bush Jr loses it and anybody else who runs for president loses it as well they could all be held criminally responsible for anything that people deem to be a crime they made they committed uh through the acts of again directing the country as president of the United
States and the NBC notes that Trump after saying that after saying that if he doesn’t get immunity then crooked Joe Biden doesn’t get immunity and they say that Trump wrote this before criticizing the Biden Administration for the record number of migrants Crossing into the US Southern border illegal aliens they mean
They’re saying it’s 2021 decision to pull troops from Afghanistan which of course led to the deaths of US troops and of course many US supporters and baselessly claimed claims of Biden engaging in Shady business practices with foreign countries and NBC News is suggesting that those accusations are
All baseless I would say that there’s a lot of evidence to that I don’t know how baseless they are uh but of course it’s tied in with Hunter Biden the question is whether Biden was actually financially engaged with that we’re still seeing where that’s going to go
And Trump continues by saying Joe would be ripe for indictment by weaponizing the doj the Department of Justice against his political opponent me Donald J Trump Joe has opened a giant Pandora’s Box and Trump continues by stating as president I was protecting our country and doing a great job of doing so just
Look around the complete mess that crooked Joe Biden has caused the least I am entitled to is presidential Immunity on fake Biden indictments and take that as you will the way that this is being spun by a lot of the media is that Trump is suggesting by saying that Joe Biden
Would also lose his his presidential immunity if they you know Supreme Court deems that presidents don’t have presidential immunity uh obviously if presidents don’t have presidential immunity they don’t just mean if your name is Donald J Trump if they rule that presidents don’t have immunity it means
All US presidents do not have immunity um and that’s what Trump is of course saying but they’re taking this in context of trump suggesting that Biden may have committed crimes and suggesting based on that that Trump may just go after Biden in the same way that Biden
Is being accused of going after Trump with the weaponization of the government and again look that’s AB that’s NBC News and uh you know they tend to be they tend to have their opinions as we all do now look of course Bloomberg has been going pretty strong on this narrative
Quite a bit I showed you an opinion piece it’s not just limited to that there’s also the the allegations that uncensored news itself that you and I being able to communicate with each other to post our opinions on social media to State what we believe is the
Reality of the world in the news to discuss things in ways that are not being moderated by fact Checkers or alleged fact Checkers that this type of dialogue could destroy Dem democracy itself let me show you this Bloomberg said will 2024 be the year fake news destroys democracy and it’s actually not just
Them saying that this is another big narrative going around the suggestion is that as we go into 2024 when 41% of the world is going to be having its elections to choose their new leaders and you have conservatives in many places who might just get elected the
Only way to save democracy is to not allow voters to openly discuss and read news it’s not just them saying that business standard said this as well they said democracy to face toughest challenge in face of fake news in 2024 and look remember this has been
Something going on for a while now the World Health Organization has declared that uncensored news rumors unvetted information that this represents a type of infodemic an information pandemic and they’ve suggested that the infodemic is not even just false information it’s just having too much information there
Are too many people too many news OTS too many uh individuals able to express their opinions and people just don’t know where to look anymore because the establishment media that once held the The Gauntlet of moderating all of our information they been losing a lot of their support and a lot of Their
Audience and that is an infodemic according to them because of that I would say that this is a failing narrative but the suggestion is that maybe we just need more censorship to save democracy I would argue this is a fundamental misunderstanding of what democracy is the fourth estate the media right the
Journalists was framed before as the representative of the people you know they’re the individuals who go and collect information and hold politicians to account I would say that of course many of the things we were told were fake in 2016 2017 2018 all the way
Frankly up until now a lot of the things we were told were fake narratives and unst unsubstantiated claims have turned out to have been true uh we also were fed a lot of fake news that we were told was unquestionable reality the rumors of Hunter Biden’s laptop being Russian
Disinformation that was a lie uh the rumors that Donald J Trump worked with Russia to rig our elections that was a lie uh the list could go on and on and on and they’re suggesting that if you dare question The Establishment narratives that you are guilty of threatening democracy itself and I’d say
The oppos opposite is probably true in many of these cases the lies of a lot of these Outlets have been exposed and the fact that they’ve been manipulating information for political reasons being exposed they’re losing their audiences because people have lost trust in them not because people are being you know
Misled by unsubstantiated rumors and just don’t know where to look for information people go to what they believe is true based on you know credibility of sources and frankly a lot of the establishment has lost its credibility because they keep lying to people look the guardian is suggesting
That actions to prevent voter fraud themselves are threats to democracy imagine that that of course they’re saying that you know this could be the year where we see elections under threat democracy is being threatened and of course people might even try to rig elections remember we saw that they’re
Suggesting that the nature of you know rigging elections is not actually technically rigging elections but instead people who believe that elections have been rigged taking actions to pass laws that will increase the security of the elections and that if you want to increase the security of
Elections that is an act of rigging an election I’m not even joking this is one of the main narratives going around they’re saying that you know again the guardian saying that since increased security for the elections appears to be based on the idea that the 2020 election was rigged anything like counting
Ballots by hand and similar acts of election Integrity maybe like voter ID that this may just be an act of election interference in itself the Guardians said anti-democracy Playbook has new threats in store for the US in 2024 and that Guardian piece just goes over all the claims from Republicans that the
Elections in 2020 were rigged and how Republicans are facing legal attacks because of those claims of course you have a lot of them getting sued or you know facing racketeering charges in Georgia which is kind of falling apart right now because Fanny Willis is being accused of possibly having an affair
With one of the main people Biden was meeting with to begin that whole thing including the meetings that took place the very day that he appointed Jack Smith a special counsil to investigate his political enemy Donald J Trump that’s another story for another day we’ll get into it but again the guardian
Is suggesting right it frames these suggestions these suggestions that you know the elections may have been rigged that these are threats to democracy for the very Act of suggesting that elections could be rigged and that these individuals are criminals for facing criminal charges and that if they get
Elected then calls for similar criminal investigations on the other side are themselves also threats to democracy in other words if they dare do to the other side what the other side has done to them they are threats to democracy whereas The Other Side by doing the things they’re accusing conservatives
Are doing are actually trying to defend democracy by legally targeting all their political opponents are you are you getting the way this logic is working it’s again this is a broad narrative according to PBS Americans themselves all of us all just seem to agree that democracy is on the line and you know
They do state pretty accurately in my opinion I would kind of agree with PBS on this each side accuses the other of this they’re saying that basically you know Democrats are accusing Republicans of you know believing democracy is under threat and of course Republicans are saying that Democrats are representing a threat to
Democracy each side accuses the other of the same thing and of course I’d say well we can just look at the facts and judge based on that but let me show you what they’re saying PBS said that a poll from the Associated Press Nork Public Center for public affairs research found
That 62% of adults say democracy in the US could be at risk depending on who wins next fall right whether Trump or uh maybe Vic ramaswami or maybe Joe Biden or who knows maybe even Nikki Haley or somebody else entirely they say that majorities of Democrats 72% and Republicans
55% feel the same way but for different reasons it says President Joe Biden has attempted to paint a dystopian future of GOP FrontRunner and former president Donald Trump returns to the White House after promising to seek retribution against opponents and declining to rule out that we would abuse the powers of
Office Trump did say that he is their retribution right he was telling his supporters I am your retribution he did say that um the idea of abusing powers of the office that’s that’s an opinion basically they’re suggesting that if Trump on day one wants to you know Deport illegal aliens which he’s saying
He’ll do that that is an abuse of power they’re they’re playing with narratives a little bit here it says the former president Donald Trump has tried to flip the narrative lately saying the election subversion and documents cases against him show Biden has weaponized the federal government to prosecute a
Political opponent he has called Biden the destroyer of American democracy which Trump has said and again this is a question of your opinion on what’s actually happening in this country now look in my opinion it’s it’s relatively Fair saying that both Republicans and Democrats to varying degrees generally
The majority do believe that democracy under is under threat and that really the difference is you know which side you believe is is a threat to it and again it it is a shared opinion of many people both on the right and the left being real and apparently as well Al
Those some of Trump’s opponents are so concerned about this that it’s affecting their sleep Daily Mail said that the former First Lady Michelle Obama sat down for an hour-long interview with onp purpose podcast J Shetty and among the things Obama said kept her up at night was the 2024 election and Americans
Taking democracy for granted and she said Michelle Obama stated I am terrified about what could possibly happen because our leaders matter so what is the actual threat to democracy where did this new narrative push start well look if you trace this back to its origin because I mentioned I showed you
A few examples you see article by article by article news Outlet by news Outlet by news Outlet pushing this narrative that democracy is under threat that there is a threat to the American public and and that suggesting that in order to save democracy it may be necessary to maybe remove Trump from the
Ballot for 20124 it may be necessary to use the systems of Justice to prosecute and attack him it may be necessary to make it so that Americans cannot vote in order to protect our right to vote and where does this narrative come from folks it turns out this is actually the
Campaign line for Joe Biden it was outlined in a campaign memo in fact this is the actual campaign agenda for 2024 of one of the presidential candidates Joe Biden let me show you this Bloomberg said calling Trump a threat to democracy is Central to Biden’s campaign this
Isn’t a secret this is a political agenda this narrative is part of a political campaign and it’s it’s Being Framed as if it were some kind of like organic narrative apparently Biden believes this narrative is something that’s going to get him votes they believe this is a narrative that will
Win voters over for the election that’s what this is really about this is a campaign this is a political campaign disguised as an actual warning from news outlets there’s a threat to America NBC news said it as well they said this Biden argues Trump remains a threat to
Democracy a case his campaign thinks resonates with voters are you getting now what’s going on they’re saying that this narrative that Trump is a threat to democracy they’re saying this because his political campaign believes that that narrative will get them votes now look Biden is also running with this
Message in his campaign ads they they in fact started rolling these out already the guardian said this that Biden’s first 2024 campaign ad an advertisement highlights threats to US democracy now look the memo said that they were going to do this the campaign ad shows them already doing this and
Given that this is part of Biden’s campaign strategy his political campaign for 2024 outlined in a campaign memo used in his first campaign ad and it also raises some questions I would say about him recently using his platform as president of the United States pushing this exact same narrative notably naming
His main political opponent now there’s a fine line in America if you’re president of the United States and you’re also running for reelection to what extent do you use your position of power as president to campaign there are some you know there are some uh legal issues with this remember Trump was
Almost almost like you know Trump was being attacked when he was president on the very suspicion that he was doing this uh they tried like you know calling for Trump’s removal from office and prosecution because he was accused of doing this and here you have Biden possibly actually doing what Trump was
Accused of doing before New York Times notes that Biden condemns Trump as dire threat to democracy in a blistering speech and look you know Biden has done these so of the nation speeches before you might remember the one with the you know blood red background and this is
Black and red thing and he’s calling Trump in Maga the threats to the American system he’s done it before so he could argue whether it’s really about the campaign but when you have a campaign memo and a campaign ad stating their narrative their main you know line
They’re going to be using to try to win the election and then Biden comes out right after that and gives a speech pushing that same narrative it does look like this is more of a campaign ad being disguised as an official presidential speech you know that that’s the
Controversy with this CNN noted that Biden makes imp passioned argument Trump could destroy American democracy as the opens 2024 campaign in other words it’s it’s a blurred line of whether B Biden is campaigning or giving speeches as president of the United States on this something again Trump was accused of
Before and they were calling that a crime when Trump was doing it the guardian says Biden attacks Trump is grave threat to democracy in rousing 2024 speech headline Bloomberg they say this Biden says democracy on ballot as he makes case against Trump I could show you headline after headline of them
Saying this now look it really seems this is a partisan political narrative this is something meant as a slogan for the 2020 24 elections and they’re using it and mixing it with this you know what appears to be a political slogan being used as the again from the position of
President also something Being Framed as just organic news coverage from all the big corporate media I started by showing you a lot of the headlines going around where all the media is saying the same thing it looks frankly like a lot of the big corporate media is pushing a
Political ad campaign in the disguise of just organic news coverage and I would say this is you know confusing voters in a way that in my opinion could be an actual threat to democracy if the media establishment is running campaign ads under the guise of organic news coverage
Not telling people that this is part of a you know campaign Memo from Biden something being used as his main campaign slogan while he’s mixing again political you know advocacy with the you know political speech of President there are some real issues with this and it
Looks like this is a strategy at least in my opinion of flipping the script Trump has been showing evidence of election fraud in fact he just published a big list of EV list of items that he claims at least are you know real points of undisputable evidence there are
Pushes to close loopholes in the election system based on the issues that have been raised and this type of action to secure our election is Being Framed as a type of political extremism meant to destroy democracy that’s the way this narrative is working and the legal attacks on Trump the
Weaponization of the government as Republicans would call it you know including the attempts to even remove Trump from the ballot to make it so that people who support him are not able to even vote for him are being framed as legitimate while suggesting the people behind these attacks you know targeting
Their political opponents are are just you know while anyone who suggests the people bringing these attacks should be investigated they’re framing this as tyrants and dictators in other words you have a political system attacking its political enemies they’re accusing not they’re they’re saying that by attacking their political enemies
They’re defending democracy but when the other side suggests not actually doing it that they may investigate the other side and see whether this was a crime that this is a threat to democracy if they’re saying that this is a threat to democracy then why is it not a threat to
Democracy when it’s coming currently as we’re watching it from the other side again it’s a it’s a kind of a play on narratives in my opinion the whole threat to democracy line again in my opinion just looks like a political narrative that is being designed to flip
The script it looks like a political narrative meant to to accuse others of what they themselves are doing to make it look like they are not trying to you know interfere with the elections to make it look like they are not attacking their political opponents and instead to
Frame those actions as attempts to save democracy ironically by doing the exact thing that they’re saying the other side might do that they claim represents a threat to democracy that’s a it’s it’s it’s a very kind of convoluted you know Loop they have going on but um in my
Opinion again and just I want to make it clear this is my opinion I think this is just them accusing others of what they themselves are doing and trying to hide the nature of what they’re doing through that action it’s just a big narrative folks and this is the way it’s Being
Framed that said let’s jump into some questions uh let’s see here Judith yakim good seeing you here one sec you’re saying well if it isn’t just accuse them of what you’re doing again yeah I think you post that before I said as well you said like globally attack any political
Candidate who wants to hold on to people’s right to decide about their lives they are being honest but talking about themselves I would agree with you yeah they are being honest there are threats to democracy right now um but you know I think they’re being a little
Misleading on who is actually the threat to democracy I would say that if you’re weaponizing the legal system to go after your political opponents you’re probably undermining democracy the process through which people can choose to elect who they want to um if Joe Biden was meeting with the main prosecutor who was
Allegedly having an affair with Fanny Willis the da to bring charges in the district of Fanny Willis I’d say that’s probably a threat to democracy if Joe Biden was meeting with the guy who uh you know or the Biden Administration was meeting with the guy who was having an
Affair with one of the Das bringing these charges and they’re stating their own political bias while doing it and then Joe Biden you know his administration appoint special counsel Jack Smith literally on the exact same day to bring charges in the district where this person’s having an affair
With the guy part of the meeting where they plan the whole thing I’d say that’s probably a threat to democracy if you want to strike your main political opponent from the ballot and make it so people can’t vote for them I’d say that’s a threat to democracy and if
You’re trying to block any actions to reassure voters that the elections are actually secure I’d say yeah that’s probably a threat to democracy the problem is that these are being framed as actions to defend democracy ironically you know you got to you got to destroy it to protect it apparently
Is the narrative the true nature of this narrative I’d say Ashley from cnia you’re saying is threat to democracy just another term for threat to Democrats I actually think that’s what it is I I’d say not just Democrats because you know the way the way they’re framing this narrative is is a global
Threat they’re saying that populism if you have a which just means basically it it’s a name it’s it’s it’s like name calling but historically it has meaning a populist government is a government that represents the average people of a country um the term comes from ancient Rome and that that’s what
It was it’s a it’s it’s a government that represents the average person rather than the political Elites and I I mean this in in the very true historical sense this had to do with the of course Roman system where you know you could only be part of the political system if
You were born into like this lineage they had a class system of the of the you know Senate leadership class and kind of the just the broad masses right the populari and so on and they were saying that if if a government represents the the masses of the country
The average citizen than that was a populist they’re calling Trump rep an individual who represents a populist narrative because you know he represents the average American essentially he’s saying America First and this is Being Framed as nationalism and Hitler and so on like that you know that that’s the
Way they’re framing that type of government where imagine a government that represents its own people what a what a what a concept right they’re they’re framing this as a threat to the global political system itself because the individuals at least as far as I see it the individuals currently in power
Are representing a new type of political system which is globalism they believe in this Global agenda the green agenda the Global you know woke agenda the race narratives and race politics Global Equity open borders all of these things are an agenda being pushed by most countries on Earth and they’re
Suggesting that the average citizen of each country not wanting that future and voting for a candidate who will not drive us towards the future they want is threatening the entire global system and because of that there suggesting that ironically people voting and not wanting what they’re offering is a threat to
Democracy and so I I I’d say they’re confused about what democracy is I I would say that actually the individuals trying to stop that process are themselves trying to overthrow democracy and are trying to become Global you know totalitarian dictators if if you want to prevent people from choosing the future
They want yeah that’s that’s not democracy I’m sorry and frankly I’d say that the global World Order they’ve been presenting is just not appealing to people in the way they may be believe it would and of course I think they just believe that they’re smarter than people
And maybe people don’t know what they really want um that that’s kind of the way this this weird thought process is working for those folks again as far as I see it let’s see another question from it’s me you’re saying accuse your enemy of what you’re doing as you’re doing it
To create confusion Carl Le Carl useless leech marks yeah there you go perfect quote accuse your enemy of what you’re doing as you’re doing it to create confusion and you cite that quote to Carl marks um actually yeah sa Alinsky also talked about doing that um you know
You you accuse others of what you yourself are doing this is a common communist tactic something they’ve done over and over again uh Bruce Butler you’re saying saying hey Josh why is it that the libs liberals threaten to leave the country if their opponent is elected
You never hear that from the other side anyone who believes in this country would never leave it I I agree actually and I’d say it’s because they they support this globalist system um I think I think what’s happening right now is that the political agenda that a lot of
The political establishment is getting behind is a globalist agenda the green policies the international agreements on that the world economic Forum type policies of global corporatism trying to subvert the political process what they call multi-stakeholder capitalism suggesting that you know non-governmental organizations businesses and so on should have a role in influencing
Political policy and that this kind of shared system where you have your elected leaders and you have your unelected leaders uh represents a type of new world order these are globalist policies being adopted through most of Europe being kind of forced ironically out of places in Africa and Latin America and if the
Agenda gets derailed in one country well you can still see the agenda being carried out in other countries and so these folks while they see it being derailed in the US they think hey I can just move to Canada or I can move to you
Know France or Germany and get I get the same thing because it’s a global agenda ironically they’re not talking about moving to good old you know North Korea or you know southern Africa or something like that they’re not talking about that you you’d have to ask why I think they
Should be a little more Equitable in the countries they say they’re going to move to um because I I think that frankly them suggesting they only want to move to like you know rich white countries uh just seems a little racist I think they should maybe consider moving to like
Uganda or maybe North Korea or maybe even China um I I think that um they should just be a little more Equitable in the countries they threaten to move to to demonstrate that um they truly believe in what they claim they believe in you know maybe maybe they’ll flee to
Little St John’s maybe this is an Epstein thing you know uh let’s see here uh Terry Baker you say I agree 100% about continuing the Electoral College you say it is one of the most brilliant accomplishments of the founding fathers and I would agree with that actually I think the genius of the
Founding fathers is only being fully demonstrated uh over the past you know eight eight years or so in the US because what the founding the founding fathers America America was founded by literal insurrectionists let that sink in George Washington you know all those folks they were actual insurrectionists John Adams
You know Benjamin Franklin uh they were all insurrectionists They carried out an act of insurrection against the British government they overthrew British rule from America and created their own country that is what they did they could have been killed as traitors for doing that they won and they formed a new
Country and a lot of the way that America was established was a reinterpretation of the role of what government is government is meant to serve the Serve the People not the other way around you as a citizen of a Nation uh the very nature of the social
Contract as some of the folks the time would have framed it the very nature of that was that people maybe give some of their money maybe in the form of taxes although there was very little taxation or none at all uh depending on where you were at in the United United States at
The time uh you give some of your sovereignty to an extent over to a government in order to get something in exchange you want them to protect you to defend your life liberty and your Pursuit of Happiness to protect you from let’s say robbery or plunder as some
Folks would frame it uh or you know foreign Invasion that government represents a type of Shield against tyranny and the Very nature of government is to protect the rights we are given by God the rights do not come from government the rights come from God and if people believe the government is
Not actually protecting those rights then according to the Declaration of Independence the founding fathers said that the people of the country have the right to overthrow that government and Institute a new form of government the way they establish the American system is checks and balances they made it very
Very very difficult to overturn this social contract the very nature of what government is that it serves that it that it protects our god-given rights not that we serve it as like you know slaves to a broader system and of course we’re seeing now the genius of how
Difficult it is to get rid of our constitutional rights where you know you have your federal government you have your three branches of government all of which can keep each other in check the Supreme Court can challenge the president of the United States the Supreme Court can challenge Congress
Congress can challenge the president it’s uh it’s very difficult to violate the rights of the the country uh V the rights of the people of the country unless you control everything we’re finding that even if you control everything you also have states that also have their own systems of
Government that can challenge the Constitutional basis of even the federal government government down to even the down to even the sheriffs who sheriffs being elected officials can choose to not enforce laws if they believe the laws themselves are not in line with the Constitution or violate the constitution
There are checks and balances at every single level even down to the average American citizen where if you get targeted by laws that have been passed by every single level that the you know Congress passed it the president signed off on it the Supreme Court has not
Taken it up the you know local government in your state is not defending you on it the sheriff has enforced it and you’ve gone to prison for it you can sue them and you can bring that all the way up to the Supreme Court and make them take up that case
And you can change the laws of the entire country and throw something out if it is shown to be unconstitutional that is the degree to which the founding fathers created checks and balances to make sure that we we cannot be uh that we cannot be brought to our knees against some kind
Of you know tyrannical dictator um The Genius of it is incredible and of course even the Electoral College um as we see that you know the way that the Electoral College works as a is a way to of course ensure the Integrity of our election system is also I think a very frankly
Ingenious idea as well um let’s see here U let’s see something to airplane I I can’t they’re they’re emojis uh you’re saying will all these oh sorry free to be not airplane free to be you’re saying well all these illegal immigrants be allowed to vote in
2024 is that part of the plan there are some accusations of this currently um there were for example in Arizona uh you might have seen some of the viral posts going around where people have posted excerpts from the election laws in Arizona currently and it does seem to say based on the
Technical wording that if you do not have proof of citizenship that you can still vote in federal elections now they’re not technically saying that illegal aliens can vote but they are saying to some extent that you do not need proof of citizenship to vote and the concern is that some people even
Though we could assume it’s kind of illegal uh that they may choose to vote despite that um we have seen examples of that taking place regardless of that already there is exam there are many examples in the United States of illegal aliens voting in our elections or just
Non-citizens voting in our elections um already in some states you have it where noncitizens can vote in local elections um that is not able to be applied to Federal elections legally but if they just open the door and say Hey you can do it just don’t say it yeah that that’s
A that’s a big problem and again that is that is already happening in some parts of the US I would actually argue though that even without that mass illegal immigration does represent a type of election interference mainly because of the way that redist redistricting Works where districts are decided to some
Degree by popul a and also the way that um you know house house members within Congress are are appointed um different areas are given more representation based on the population and you know of course when they do the national census the Census Bureau goes door too and counts every
Single person who’s in a district or County or whatever else the number of people in that county determine how many elected officials you get in the House of Representatives which plays a huge role of course in our in our process you know we SE our Republicans have control of the house
And they can launch all these investigations they can have these committees they can impeach the president of the United States or at least vote vote to impeach him those investigative committees are extremely valuable and if you have for example you know a political faction flooding a district with new people non-citizens
Illegal aliens whatever you want to call them flooding it with new people when they go and count the census they don’t ask you if you’re a citizen or not in fact they made it so you’re not even allowed to they count non-citizens they count illegal aliens they count people
Violating our laws because the population is a population and that is used to alter the amount of representation given to that district and so I would say that without a doubt even if they don’t vote Mass illegal immigration is changing the populations of of different counties and areas of
The United States and through that it will impact our political system because at the very least if nothing else happens um it will change the number the amount of representation you’re going to get in these districts that they choose to like ship all these people to um and
Again not to mention the issue of redistricting which you know District Maps can significant ly alter the outcome of Elections um as well especially when it comes to like you know the Electoral College and such Elizabeth you’re saying it’s crazy how fast our nation has changed course back
When 911 happened most people even the Stars sounded like Patriots I remember remember when like proud to be an American was the song of the the whole country you’re saying except the ones pushing the Patriot Act yeah thanks thanks Bush now you can imagine what our national reaction might look like well
Geez it’s speaking of 9/11 and what the national reaction might look like did you all see the viral videos going around where people like you know influencers on Tik Tok were reading the letter of Osama bin Laden justifying Terror attacks and they were agreeing with it that’s how far
We’ve come you know it’s it’s not even the issue of like patriotism anymore that you have young people agreeing with you know Mass murderers and actual terrorists trying to destroy the United States and you know it wasn’t necessarily like a republican Democrat thing just just emphasizing How Far
We’ve gone from the basic principles of American patriotism um yeah talk about threats to democracy I’d say wait till those people can vote if you want to see threats to democracy uh or wait or wait till they do vote maybe some of them are already a
Voting age um and it is unfortunate you know I mean I I I’m an older Millennial you know I’m in my late 30s almost 40 years old you know what I I feel like I grew up in a different country frankly and I would say most a lot of Millennials probably
Feel that way you know when I was in high school we didn’t have at least we didn’t feel the crazy race politics I I had friends who were you know thinking back now one of my best friends was Italian I had another friend who was Mexican and Native American I had a
Friend who was black and that was my friends group and we we never thought of it in terms of race we I never I never thought I’m going to go hang out with my you know Native American friend today or I’m going to go hang out with my white
Friend today or my black friend today I never thought that we we didn’t think like that at the time if if you went to go watch a movie and let’s say you know do you remember Blade with Denzel Washington nobody said oh Brave black actor you said oh I like Denzel
Washington he’s a good actor you didn’t think of him based on his race we didn’t have this lens where we judged things by you know skin color or whatever else and you know sure there was racism but you know we kind of made fun of it back then
If you don’t believe me go watch the uh go watch the Dave Chappelle Show and and watch the kind of humor we had back then you know um the country has come very far from that and the the idea of national Unity regardless of our you know r IAL or cultural differences or
Even religious differences was not such a dividing Factor even political differences were not so divisive at the time um frankly I didn’t really care if my friends you know were Republicans Or democrats or Libertarians or whatever else it wasn’t wasn’t something we cared about um it just it wasn’t an issue back
Then and it’s unfortunate to see that that has been whittel away that the tensions between uh the different groups in this country have been sharpened I would partly blame Obama for that frankly just just being totally blunt I would partly blame Obama for that because that culture that existed
In America the national cohesion regardless of gender regardless of race regardless of political stance that changed under Obama when he started rolling out all these race politics and so on and he started trying to demonize People based on their race and you know propped up things and started these
Fires across the country and looting and rioting that was Obama and um maybe maybe it would have happened without him I don’t know uh but I can say that I I frankly don’t like the the direction we’ve gone in where we just don’t get along with each other like we used to um
I would say that patriotism is understanding that there is a unifying factor between us regardless of our differences and I I do hope that we ReDiscover that personally uh you know where we can it doesn’t mean you accept everything it doesn’t mean you relinquish your political views or you know whatever
Else it just means that you don’t see it as something that makes you hate somebody who’s different from you you know in my opinion I can disagree with people while not hating them you know that’s that’s I think one of the things that’s necessary to have a country um
And that is for me part of what patriotism is Norway for Trump you’re saying Marxism is the most lethal ideology in all of human history they have killed more than 1 billion human beings in a little over 100 years let that sink in without a doubt Marxism is the most
Lethal ideology in all of human history um I don’t know about a billion it wouldn’t surprise me if it was a billion if if you count all the wars and some on that has been tied to communist revolutions and um communist subversion may maybe that is the case um
I if you go by the Black Book of Communism Which documents a lot of the you know actual genocides carried on under communism you’re looking at between like 50 50 million and 70 million dead based on new numbers that have come out based on you know credible science credible studies of actual
Records and so on the Chinese Communist Party alone killed somewhere between 70 million and 100 million people that alone um there are some estimates that put the death toll based on current estimates of Communism at about 150 million and of course if you want to expand that to the wars that have been
Sparked by communist movements to the many genocides that were rooted in communist subversion they’re not taken as such uh to even International terrorism and the many wars that have happened under that um without a doubt it would be significantly higher I I don’t know what the full number would be
And if you take into account even just the chaos and harm that has caused to humanity without a doubt communism Marxism is the most lethal most destructive most disgusting uh political system that the world has ever witnessed we’ documented at least there’s nothing that even comes close and um you want to
Talk about threats to democ I’d say communism is a real threat to democracy you know really um all right folks that said I am reporting from from uh Taiwan right now uh join me tomorrow I want to go into you know talking about threats to democracy I’ll show you some real
Ones the Chinese Communist party is actively trying to interfere with the Taiwanese elections and look we hear a lot about election interference it’s real in this case let me I’ll show you tomorrow what has actually been going on and this is important because remember in the United States uh a lot of the
Election interference was traced to China in fact um for example spreading some of the key components of our election system a lot of it was tied to China and of course if the Chinese Communist Party successfully influences the elections in Taiwan which are going to the vote’s going to be held on
Saturday and I will be covering that here uh locally and of course I’ll be publishing a special feature to explain the impact of whatever happens afterwards um you know again so stay tuned for that um without a doubt the Chinese Communist party if it works they’re they’re going to take the
Lessons of what works and apply it elsewhere and as we enter a state where actually in very in a very real sense you know 41% of the countries on Earth are going to be having presidential elections this coming year over the next couple years even more if the CCP finds
A working model for interfering with elections they’re going to use it elsewhere as well and so tune in tomorrow we’ll go over this I’ll show you the actual evidence the actual cases and the actual stuff being uh shown right now and it’s pretty shocking again
Um I’m in Taiwan right now and I’ll be here till next week that said folks uh stay tuned for more coverage on this I will see you tomorrow morning 10:30 a.m. eastern time and as always thank you so much for being here appreciate all of you please take care of yourselves stay
Informed and stay Free
