0:00So, last week it was announced that
0:02Barack Obama will be stumping for
0:04radical socialist Abdul El-Sayed in
0:06Michigan. Obama also intervened in the
0:09Georgia gubernatorial race by endorsing
0:11Keisha Lance Bottoms.
0:12>> Georgia, I hope you'll support my friend
0:15Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor.
0:17As a former judge, council member, and
0:20mayor, Keisha believes that public
0:22service [music]
0:22is about putting you first. There is a
0:24lot at stake in this election, Georgia.
0:27Make your voice heard and vote for
0:29Keisha Lance Bottoms for governor.
0:32>> Some folks are debating as to whether or
0:33not Obama's endorsements still carry any
0:37kind of weight.
0:38>> Do former presidents matter?
0:40>> Only if they're black and they name
0:41Obama in this case.
0:42>> Out of the 650 some odd candidates that
0:45Obama has either formally endorsed or
0:48have made campaign appearances for since
0:502016, 391 of those candidates have
0:54actually gone on to win their elections
0:56and 259 of them lost. But, my focus
0:59doesn't tend to be on whether or not an
1:01Obama endorsement actually carries any
1:02weight.
1:03As a former community organizer and
1:06strategic leftist ideologue, Obama is a
1:08cunning political functionary with a
1:11bigger plan for which endorsements only
1:13play a small part. This is why he is
1:15stumping for Abdul despite Abdul's past
1:18criticisms of Obama. The way I see it,
1:21an Obama endorsement is but the tip of
1:23the iceberg as it pertains to his
1:25grander scheme, his grander goal, which
1:28is to transform not only politics and
1:30the constitutional framework in America,
1:32but the very way in which Americans
1:35think in relation to their government.
1:37We will explore some of this in today's
1:39episode.
1:50So, as many of you know, I have spent
1:52years researching the deliberately
1:54veiled and deceptive and disturbing
1:57truth behind the civil rights movement
1:59and of Martin Luther King. And one of my
2:01biggest takeaways from that whole era is
2:04that the civil rights movement was
2:05effectively ripping up the Constitution
2:08before our very eyes and replacing it
2:10with a new one. And what's more, the
2:12American people welcomed it. Why did
2:15Americans do that? Well, the simple
2:17answer is that they were persuaded or
2:19compelled, depending on the American in
2:20question, by the tactics of the press,
2:23the Kennedy and Johnson administrations,
2:25and a robust network of social justice
2:28organizations who, in many cases, were
2:31quarterbacked by communist. And since
2:33Martin Luther King was the chief symbol
2:36of change in the 1960s, he is regarded,
2:40even today, by many as a kind of George
2:43Washington figure, as the kind of
2:46founding father of this new version of
2:48America.
2:49>> I say this all the time. I regard Dr.
2:50King as the greatest American this
2:52country's ever produced. That's my
2:54assessment. I can argue with you on
2:55Abraham Lincoln. I can argue on FDR. But
2:57to my mind, Dr. King is the greatest
2:59American this country's ever produced.
3:01>> I think something similar. I often times
3:02say that Dr. King, for me, was really
3:04the sort of He was the founding father
3:06of of the America that I know. Founding
3:09father of 20th century America.
3:11>> that. I totally receive that.
3:12>> Although the 1960s is a notable decade
3:15when a lot of this transition was being
3:17solidified, the reality is that due to
3:20social engineering, the country was
3:22already moving incrementally in that
3:24direction for decades. And in the spirit
3:27of hearing the adversary saying the
3:29quiet part out loud, I highly recommend
3:32you read this book, The Lost Promise of
3:35Civil Rights by Risa Goluboff. Goluboff,
3:38who is a leftist law professor, by the
3:39way,
3:40traces the extent to which leftist
3:43governments and activist groups from the
3:45end of the 19th century to the middle
3:47part of the 20th century legally
3:49circumvented the constitutional
3:52guardrails that were meant to prevent
3:55government overgrowth and government
3:57overreach. One of the many examples that
3:59Galliabov gives is found on page 154,
4:02where she's talking about the 1941
4:05Supreme Court case of Edward v.
4:07California. This case involved the state
4:10of California barring companies from
4:12bringing in workers from other states
4:14who were displaced by the conditions of
4:17the Dust Bowl in the 1930s. Galliabov
4:20fails to mention the fact that most
4:23states did not have such restrictions,
4:25and for the most part, workers were free
4:28to move about the country in search for
4:30work. Galliabov writes, "Fresh from his
4:32post as Attorney General, Justice
4:34Jackson wrote the opinion striking down
4:37a 1937 California statute that
4:40prohibited anyone from bringing in an
4:42indigent person into the state. This law
4:44aimed to prevent masses of poor and
4:46desperate migrants from the Dust Bowl of
4:48Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri
4:52from flooding California's labor camps
4:54and overwhelming their relief efforts.
4:56The court interpreted the Constitution
4:58as, {quote} 'framed upon the theory that
5:01the peoples of the several states must
5:03sink or swim together, and that in the
5:06long run, prosperity and salvation are
5:09in union and not in division.'
5:12The court described care for the needy
5:14as a federal rather than solely a local
5:17concern. In reality, the Constitution
5:20was actually framed by men who
5:21understood that when it comes to the
5:23needs of the people in the local
5:25communities or in the several states, no
5:28government entity knows better on what
5:30to do about those situations than men
5:32who actually live in the local
5:34communities, men who actually live in
5:37the local states. California wasn't
5:39barring migrant workers because they
5:41were heartless, they were doing it
5:43because they had problems of their own,
5:45they had a crisis of their own.
5:47Notwithstanding the fact that a case has
5:49to go through many different lower
5:50courts before it even gets to the
5:51Supreme Court, it's become all too easy
5:54for a high court clear across the
5:56country to shoehorn its liberal ideology
6:00into its interpretation of the
6:01Constitution as it makes decisions for a
6:04state with which they have no
6:06familiarity. After all, it's not them
6:09who has to suffer the consequences of
6:10many of their decisions, but the people
6:12in the several states and in the local
6:14communities. In chapter four of her
6:16book, Galipeau writes admirably about
6:19Franklin Roosevelt's Attorney General
6:21Francis Biddle. She writes, "Attorney
6:23General Biddle acknowledged that the
6:24founders were most concerned with a
6:26limited government." He argued, however,
6:29that after the Industrial Revolution,
6:31Americans came to realize that
6:33unregulated business had to be checked
6:35by transferring much of their control
6:38from private to public hands. The Truman
6:41administration reinforced this new
6:42emphasis on the government's use of the
6:45civil rights sword. That's just one of
6:48the examples of the fact that these
6:49ideologues were consciously and
6:51deliberately deviating from the
6:54constitutional framework that the
6:56founding fathers had established into
6:58place. Another example of this deviation
7:01is found in the attack on American
7:03citizens' proclivity for small
7:04government, states' rights, and private
7:06property waged by the civil rights
7:09activists in the 1960s since those
7:12principles stood in the way of what the
7:14civil rights activists wanted, which was
7:16a world replete with a supreme
7:19centralized administrative state and a
7:21collective access to property.
7:23>> The real obstacle is the is the property
7:25right structure in this country, which
7:27isn't concerned with how many kids are
7:29bitten by rats or how many people live
7:31in slums.
7:32>> If we could get the total society to
7:35somehow lose this
7:38uh making a god of state rights,
7:41>> That's a
7:42>> then we would have avoided all these
7:43problems. That's the way they are seen
7:44overseas.
7:45>> That's right.
7:46>> Even if we got the entire package of the
7:48president asked, plus various of the
7:50other good bills that are pending before
7:52Congress, our good legislation does not
7:54automatically enforce itself. We then
7:56have a problem of seeing to it that it
7:58is enforced in town after town, city
8:00after city, and only the will of the
8:02people
8:03will bring about the enforcement.
8:05>> In her book, Lise Garvin's general
8:08thesis is that these legal and social
8:11maneuvers, although they did a lot of
8:13good in her mind, did not go far enough
8:16in expanding the federal government in
8:19the quest for civil rights. Hence the
8:21title of her book, The Lost Promise of
8:24Civil Rights. Enter Barack Obama. Now,
8:28while there is much that has been done
8:30by a plethora of bad actors to
8:32capitalize on this new constitution
8:34since the 1960s, such as I've laid out
8:36in the MLK project docu-series,
8:39government expansion coupled with the
8:41public's increasing reliance on that
8:43expansion is something that Barack Obama
8:46has clearly thought a whole lot about,
8:49and it's something that he has acted on
8:51and continues to do so to this very day.
8:54When Obama took office in 2009, he
8:56appointed Cass Sunstein, who was a
8:59University of Chicago behavioral
9:01economics professor, to the Office of
9:04Information and Regulatory Affairs. The
9:07year prior, Sunstein, along with his and
9:10Obama's University of Chicago colleague,
9:13Richard Thaler, wrote a book called
9:15Nudge, which basically posits that the
9:19way to move society in a desired
9:23direction is to persuade them that the
9:24steps in taking that direction is simple
9:27and easy and worth your collective
9:30while. You'll remember that Obama's 2008
9:32campaign buzzwords were hope and change.
9:36He declared before the November election
9:38that we were going to quote,
9:40"fundamentally transform the United
9:42States of America." Unquote. Dollar and
9:45Sunstein by this time had already
9:47contributed to laying out the blueprint
9:50for how that fundamental transformation
9:52or change could be implemented. The
9:55public just needed to be persuaded or
9:58nudged into embracing that
10:01transformation. The general thesis of
10:04Nudge is simply that, you know, people
10:06have too many options, too many choices
10:08as they move through their day-to-day
10:09lives. However, if you can control, if
10:13you can restrict those choices, if you
10:15can limit those options from on high,
10:17and furthermore, if you can somehow
10:20manipulate or market the option that is
10:23the preferred option of the so-called
10:26expert class, and market that to be the
10:28most desirable option to the unwitting
10:31masses, then you are doing your part in
10:34moving society into the right direction.
10:37But again, that direction being marketed
10:40as easy is vital to the operation. The
10:44authors write, "Our primary mantra is a
10:46simple one. If you want to encourage
10:49some action or activity, make it easy.
10:52This insight falls into the category of
10:54what the great psychologist Kurt Lewin
10:56called channel factors, a term he used
10:59for small influences that could either
11:01facilitate or inhibit certain behaviors.
11:04Think about the channel as similar to
11:05the path a river takes after the spring
11:08snow melts. The path can be determined
11:11by seemingly small changes in the
11:13landscape. For people, Lewin argued that
11:15similarly small factors can create
11:18surprisingly strong inhibitors to
11:19behaviors that people want to take.
11:21Oftentimes, we can do more to facilitate
11:23good behavior by removing some small
11:26obstacle than by trying to shove people
11:28in a certain direction. An early example
11:30of Lewin's idea was produced by Howard
11:32Leventhal, Robert Singer, and Susan
11:35Jones on the campus of Yale University.
11:37The subjects were Yale seniors who were
11:40given some persuasive education about
11:42the risks of tetanus and the importance
11:44of going to the health center to receive
11:46an inoculation. Most of the students
11:48were convinced by the lecture and said
11:49that they planned to go and get the
11:50shot, but these good intentions did not
11:52lead to much action. Only 3% actually
11:55went and got the shot. Other subjects
11:58were given the same lecture, but were
11:59also given a copy of a campus map with
12:02the location of the health center
12:03circled. They were then asked to look at
12:05their weekly schedules, make a plan for
12:07when they would go and get the shot, and
12:09look at the map and decide what route
12:11they will take. With these nudges, this
12:13time 28% of the students managed to show
12:17up and get their tetanus shot. Notice
12:20that this manipulation was very subtle.
12:24Now, obviously the authors didn't veil
12:27their intentions here, nor did they hide
12:30how they see the public in this book.
12:32They shamelessly use the word
12:34manipulation to describe these methods
12:37for which they're advocating, and they
12:39refer to the people on which these
12:41manipulation tactics were being used as
12:44subjects. And were similar manipulation
12:46tactics not used during the mass push to
12:49encourage the public to get the shot at
12:51the end of 2020? Were we not told again
12:54and again about how easy it is?
12:56>> I think one of the first tasks for
12:59the Biden administration coming in,
13:01we're going to have to make sure that
13:03the public messaging counteracts
13:05whatever suspicions, conspiracy
13:07theories,
13:08uh you know, the anti-vax
13:11uh internet is pretty powerful, uh
13:14and we we're going to want to make sure
13:17we roll that out in a way that um
13:20elicits trust from the public as much as
13:22possible.
13:23>> I want to make it clear it's so easy for
13:24people to get a vaccine. You have 80,000
13:28sites. All you have to do is text your
13:30zip code and the number 438829.
13:34It'll tell you exactly where you can go
13:35to get a vaccine. You can get it
13:37quickly. And you know what? Uber and
13:39Lyft have come along and they've said
13:42that for the end of May all the way
13:44through the July 4th, they will call
13:46anybody who calls them, they'll pick
13:48them up, take them to a vaccine site,
13:50wait for them and take them back. That's
13:52a big deal.
13:53>> That's the marketing of ease as a kind
13:55of bait has to do with way more than
13:57just vaccines. It is the entire
13:59political strategy behind getting the
14:02public hooked on government in order to
14:04justify its own expansion. We can
14:07actually see this clearly in Obama's
14:09endorsement of Keisha Lance Bottoms.
14:11>> She's invested in young people,
14:13delivered historic pay raises for police
14:16officers and firefighters. Now, Keisha
14:18has a plan to lower costs, expand
14:20Medicaid, and as a mom of four,
14:23Keisha understands the importance of
14:25giving every child a strong start.
14:27That's why she'll work to guarantee
14:29pre-K for every four-year-old.
14:31>> Notice how he paints this glorious
14:33picture of what the government can do
14:36and how he presents Keisha Lance Bottoms
14:38as the one in Georgia who can assist in
14:41facilitating this great benevolence that
14:43Obama believes is the responsibility of
14:46the government. Notice also how he is
14:48appealing to ease. In a world where
14:51so-called progressives have radically
14:54transformed the cultural and
14:56institutional framework of our
14:57civilization, all in the name of social
14:59justice, all in the name of equality,
15:01but has actually resulted in higher
15:04social dysfunction, resulted in
15:06inflation and entitlement and
15:08incompetence, Obama comes along and he
15:11promises that Keisha Lance Bottoms will
15:14help ease all of your burdens by
15:17guaranteeing government-funded pre-K,
15:20government-mandated pay raises,
15:22expansion of Medicaid. These are the
15:25things that we're going to that are
15:26going to take care of all of your
15:28burdens. Obama is nudging citizens into
15:31seeing these policies and thus by
15:33extension socialist like Zephyr
15:34Teachout, Mondaire Jones, Jamaal Bowman,
15:36Abdul El-Sayed, and Keisha Lance Bottoms
15:39as the only sensible options for change
15:41and progress.
15:43These of course are buzzwords that
15:45American public school children are
15:47taught to unquestioningly see as
15:50virtuous. Essentially, even after having
15:52left office, Obama's agenda for change
15:55is not yet over. He is actively taking
15:58part in incrementally coalescing in the
16:01quest for socialism.
16:03>> Obama appearing with El-Sayed I think is
16:05a sign that Democrats have said, "All
16:07right, this is the direction the party
16:08is going. Is socialism the answer to the
16:12economic problems?" I mean, it's an
16:13alternative right now and people are
16:14hurting, so they're keen to look at it.
16:16I think one of the questions that's been
16:18surrounding this race is was an adult
16:19going to come in and say, "Enough is
16:21enough. You shouldn't be talking to
16:22people like Hasan You shouldn't
16:23be flirting with outright socialism. Um
16:26you that the tent is supposedly big for
16:29Democrats, but it can't be that big."
16:31>> Another example of Obama's grander
16:34scheme for government expansion is the
16:38fact that he and Michelle Obama helped
16:40produce a Netflix docuseries a few years
16:42ago called The G Word. The G of course
16:44stands for government, wherein they are
16:46making the case for big government and
16:49for more funding for government
16:51programs. Unless you think that the
16:53similarities between Obama's actions and
16:56the mass manipulation tactics laid out
16:58in Nudge is a sheer coincidence, I would
17:00like for you to take a look at this clip
17:02from The G Word, which keenly
17:04demonstrates the Nudge theory.
17:06>> You know, every article and ad says that
17:08the key to healthy eating is for us to
17:10make better choices.
17:12But why is it all on us? Maybe instead
17:14of worrying so much about what we choose
17:16off the shelves, we should pay more
17:18attention to what our government chooses
17:20to put on them. Because only it has
17:22[music] the power to determine whether
17:24our food is safe and fit to eat.
17:26>> Now, the reason why all of this is
17:27important is because it helps to explain
17:29much of the brain rot that has resulted
17:32from many of these schemes. Since after
17:35all, any attempt to wholesale instill in
17:39the collective a universal dependence on
17:41an ever-expanding government necessarily
17:44requires the degradation of the mental
17:47capacity to do for self and to think
17:51logically. Earlier in the show, we saw a
17:53lack of wisdom and logical thinking in
17:56favor of an ideologically driven
17:59allegiance to the tyrannical collective
18:02on the part of the 1941 Supreme Court in
18:04the case of Edwards v. California, when
18:07they liberally interpreted the
18:08Constitution and disregarded the actual
18:11circumstances in California.
18:13Another example of this is a young Asian
18:16woman who disregards the financial
18:19security of her own family, of her own
18:21parents, in favor of black entitlement
18:25and collective mindset. Here's what that
18:26looks like.
18:27>> So many Asian business owners
18:29historically have come into black
18:30neighborhoods, whether they're nail
18:31salons, whether they're little food
18:33marts and stuff, and I feel like a lot
18:35of the Asians don't feel like they are a
18:36part of that community. They think they
18:37come and they set up shop and they live
18:39somewhere totally different. I think
18:40it's black dollars that kept food on a
18:43lot of these Asian households' tables,
18:44yet none of it goes back to that direct
18:46community. And I've always had an issue
18:49with that. I don't know if it's a
18:50language barrier, I don't know if
18:51they're if it's if it's if it's because
18:52they're immigrants or whatever the
18:53excuse may be, but I've always gone out
18:55of my way to be conscious of that.
18:57>> Now, clearly she thinks she's righteous
18:58in her own mind. Notice the words that
19:00she uses. I've always gone out of my way
19:02to be conscious of that. She thinks that
19:05she's being virtuous. She thinks that
19:08she's being noble. She thinks that she's
19:10being loving and kind. This is how she's
19:13been conditioned to think. This is how
19:15many have been conditioned to think.
19:17Never mind the fact that of all the
19:19people living in a black community, any
19:22one of them can open a convenience
19:23store. Any one of them can open a nail
19:25salon. Any one of them can open up a
19:28restaurant or whatever the case may be.
19:30The fact that your Asian parents or
19:31relatives see an opportunity to set up
19:35shop in a black community where no one
19:38else from that community was willing to
19:40do it or do it well, you should be
19:42grateful and the community should be
19:44grateful. You should be grateful because
19:47your parents are putting food in your
19:48belly, clothes on your back, roof over
19:50your head, education, so on and so
19:51forth. The community should be grateful
19:54because they are getting a service. The
19:56community does not get to say because
19:58you're Asian and because you're in my
20:00community, you now owe me some kind of
20:02compensation. You're not giving back to
20:05the collective enough. The business is
20:07itself a service. They can either shop
20:09there or they don't have to shop there.
20:12Nobody owes them anything. But it's
20:14actually quite condescending,
20:15patronizing, and downright pathetic for
20:17you to scoff at your parents and assume
20:20this role as an Asian savior to the
20:23black community. This is what I mean
20:25when I called it brain rot because in
20:27her mind, she's living in La La Land.
20:29It's completely lost on her that if not
20:31for people like her parents in the
20:34so-called hood setting up shop, those
20:36hoods will be way worse off. And so,
20:40anyway, that's the show for today. I
20:43thank you all for watching and I will
20:45see you next time.
