  1. They should've been out of business a long time ago. Big money behind them. They don't need to have much reach, as long as those they reach are zealots, and the government can pretend the networks represent the will of the people.

  2.  @jazzdub4958  By "pro-American" you mean pro-war? How many of those pro-America movies had heroes breaking the law for the greater good? Because that's how the Permanent Government (the unelected part) sees itself and wishes to be portrayed. I can't name a single movie in my lifetime that portrayed an honest business man or an un-bigoted business man. The narratives have shifted over time, but Hollywood pushed socialism. You never see the good guys in a Hollywood film arguing for LESS government intrusion. Her dad was right. You don't realize how you were being indoctrinated at the time, methinks. As for Ronald Reagan, he talked a good game, and he was right about high taxes stifling prosperity and tax revenues over the long haul. He was right about government intervention as being a bigger problem than the problems it purported to solve. But in actions, he was very authoritarian. War on Drugs, 55 mph speed limit, low-interest loans for New England fishermen, ... He intervened any time he pleased, because he was so sure he was right, which is exactly what he supposedly stood against. And don't get me started on the Cold War. I was staunchly anti-Soviet during those years. I think I would have taken a different view if I had known all the things we were doing to different countries prior, during, and since his administration. The main thing that made me believe as I did was the ridiculous over-estimates of the actual Soviet threat. Our "Intel Community" sold me a bill of goods, routinely over-estimating Soviet threats by easily a factor of 10. Reagan slowed the rate of growth of domestic spending, but he made no fundamental shifts in domestic policy in that regard. The teeth gnashing by Democrats over entitlements was enough for him to mostly leave them alone. More than that, the enormous over-estimate of the Soviet threat gave the defense industry and all its minions a blank check. He and all his successors bought and SOLD us a world view full of dangers that justified any manner of murder, war, and subversion to fight those dangers, setting the stage for the war-mongering security state of today. Reagan did some good things and some bad things. He's not the idol so many on the right seem to worship. Like Trump, he was elected to drain the swamp, but when he left, the swamp was bigger and stronger than ever before.

  3.  @MrFurmos  LOL! The FACT that Scientific American would publish such drivel says all you need to know about the publication. Very low quality control. Also, I used to read Scientific American in the '70s and '80s. It went off the rails on climate change and has never restored itself in my good graces since. If they were right on any of that stuff, then why is New York City not under water? ALL of those models predict a planet on fire. NONE of those models, when applied to real-world data, succeed in predicting global temperatures. Start the model in 1900. By 1950, the ice caps are gone. Start the model in 1950. By 1980, the ice caps are gone. Every single model exaggerates the amount of warming by a little or (usually) a lot. The more doomsday the article, the more praise it receives. But point out that ocean levels are rising at the same rate as they have for centuries and you will be canceled. Point out how HOT it was in the 1930s and get canceled. Point out how most of the 20th Century was global cooling, from the 1930s to the late 1970s and get canceled. 1978 was the low point of global temps in the 20th Century, after trending downward for decades. I remember reading articles about the impending Ice Age in the 1970s. They didn't switch to global warming until temps started rebounding in 1978/1979. This is the so-called "Hockey Stick," to which all must bow and offer sacrifice.

  4. People think that psychopaths have evil inside them, but it's always something good that's missing inside. Evil would be something you could fight against, but what we're talking about, here, is a yawning gulf. It's more horrifying to realize that there's just... nothing... behind... the eyes.

  13. Drug addiction is for health professionals, not law enforcement. The War on Drugs is a War on the Poor. Take the profit motive and the conscious law-breaking by MILLIONS out of the equation. Heck, I'd let Granny tend her poppy plants and self-medicate her arthritis for free. What's wrong with a coca plant in the back yard, for the odd toothache or stomach upset? If it's used infrequently, which it usually is in its raw form, especially if Granny's responsible and learned from her momma just like her momma learned from hers. I think all that stuff should be wide open, and the law come in only when an actual crime has been committed. People can be trained in the safe use of drugs. Take away the temptation to go into business for yourself, without proper licensing and taxation, and hold people strictly accountable for their actions. Having laws against drugs doesn't minimize the harm caused by drugs. It increases the damage, especially when you see violent offenders being crowded-out of jails to make room for non-violent offenders serving mandatory sentences.

  18. Gorka always flies a little too close to the Neocon sun, for my taste. He's brilliant, but he slips in and out of dogma, and wrote articles in support of invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. He's only critical of HOW we did it, but is a BIG fan of the War on Terror, ignoring the harm we've done in that cause. To him, near as I can tell, we didn't do ENOUGH to crush Iraq before pivoting to Afghanistan.

  30. That's one of the slimier goals, but it's also to disarm the people mentally, emotionally, and physically, so they can do as they wish without being questioned. They don't need to normalize anything other than the continued concentration of power in the hands of a few. It doesn't matter what crimes they then commit, if they can keep it out of the media and silence any who speak out. We're already there. They don't have to change any laws to steamroll us, at this point. If you don't believe me, then you weren't paying attention during Iraq Wars, RussiaGate and COVID to name just 3.

  33. Of course Tulsi didn't see this coming. She's a degenerate progressive. People in her corner have been insisting that the federal government do more and more, while we libertarians have been predicting EXACTLY THIS since the creation of the Welfare State in the 1960s. This is where forced re-distribution of wealth always leads. The welfare state re-creates the Lord-Serf relationship between the state and the people. Oh, they make it SOUND like it's for our own good, but as the responsibilities expand, so does government authority, making us hostage to the whims of unelected bureaucrats and whoever can bribe, blackmail, or just flatter them into doing what they want them to do. The more help given, the more help needed. The ability of the people to stand on their own two feet has been systematically crippled, so now everybody thinks all our problems are because the government doesn't do enough, when the opposite is true. Government's already done too much. Tulsi stands back and criticizes where it's all lead. But the only reason she's surprised is because she's either stupid or just another pandering politician. Until these institutions are de-fanged and pared back (preferably abolished), it will be one crisis after the next, all leading in the same exact direction. Socialized health care was a HUGE part of Hitler's 3rd Reich. It seemed to start innocently enough in the 19th Century, but it was ALWAYS about power at the top and creating a compliant population. "If you oppose us, you LITERALLY want people to die!"

  35. The danger of defaulting is how we keep getting tricked into green-lighting even MORE irresponsible spending. You wait. Republicans will fold. Democrats will convince the NPC crowd that it's the Republicans holding things up for petty reasons, and we'll be right back to tax and spend. I think we should've defaulted in the '90s and forced government reductions. I'm sick of this debt-ceiling drama. It's all just theater. It always culminates in further crippling of the middle class and the economy.

  36. I always knew Dave was in it for a paying grift. I generally agreed with him. I generally agreed with Ben Shapiro. But their Zionist sides are now on full display, and so I stopped supporting Rubin and Daily Wire. I didn't join Daily Wire until Jordan Peterson did. Then Jordan Peterson started acting stiff and uncomfortable, with the higher production values and "finish" of Daily Wire support. So I kind of moved on from tracking him, regularly, like I used to.

  40. I'm very pleased to see this video. I'm the kind of guy who would rather hear it told than watch a re-enactment of The Alamo. Same for the Titanic. I knew how it ended, and didn't like the ending. 16:30. My opinion of Trey Gowdy just went up a notch. He didn't go in for the kill, but he poked around pretty thoroughly and gave us the outlines. But he let the FBI and its parent, the DOJ stone-wall him, pretty much. They had everything shrouded in secrecy, but Gowdy pretty much pinpointed where the key information was. It's just taken years to penetrate the veil with de-class, which could have happened, sooner, but speaking strategically, time was on the Trump team's side, but with a November, 2020 deadline.

  50. Whether Trump was manipulated or not, he at the very least BLUNDERED BADLY. Trump, by deferring to Fauci, whom Trump had all the resources necessary to un-mask, but didn't. You can make the case for a little stimulus after stopping the economy's heart with lockdowns. But as president, he should've fought against locking-down everything. Trump did NOT have the best people advising him, and if he did, then his handling of COVID response is even worse. I think Trump exposed himself as part of the larger machine, with many of his decisions and inactions. He made too many concessions to win, politically, and still failed, politically. He can't really drain a swamp of which he, himself, is a creature. He will probably win the nomination, but whether he wins in '24 or not, I see him as controlled opposition. He gives the base enough red meat to keep them with him, while never really making the case to voters who are programmed to hate him.

  52. Richard Wolff should learn a little about Nature and the Pareto Distribution. It doesn't matter how you structure things, what your hierarchy is... There will always be a small number of individuals in the population who benefit far more than the rest of the population. There's one elk/seal/lobster getting the biggest harem. Viewing human society as an extension of Nature (We ARE PART OF NATURE.), we see that the big difference between socialist and free-market systems is that there are a lot more people doing very well - comfortably well - for themselves; whereas in a socialist setup, there is a very small number of extremely privileged people, most of them in government, but a few favored industrialists right up there with them. Crony capitalism isn't a free-market thing. It's a STATIST thing, where rich and powerful people are given unfair advantage over everybody else, through the use of government force. I call it fascism, but fascism is just another form of collectivism/socialism. It doesn't necessarily nationalize industry. It just does the next best thing, which is control what, how, and when anything it singles out for its attention is made. Weapons industry is a biggie. By its nature, it's fascist, because it's contracting directly with government. It's also the only thing in the U.S. Constitution that's allowed. And even then, the founders of the USA wanted strong citizen militias as an essential part of our common defense. Yeah, we still need a professional army. And making sure it's run, properly, should be about the only thing we're worried about on the federal level. But the military budget ("defense" budget) is less than half of what the federal government does, these days. And there's no way to oversee it all. Bad enough we have an army!

  57. I think nationalism is only slightly less toxic than globalism. They are not opposites. You present a false dichotomy, here. To me, they are the same thing, pretty much, but the globalists want to see even MORE concentration of power in the hands of a few than the nationalists! I would MUCH rather be a LOCALIST, little affected by national and world affairs because the higher up you went, the LESS power was given. I see no real movement about "nationalists" to limit the power and scope of the central government. That's a libertarian/localist principle. People are becoming more nationalist because it's the biggest force opposed to globalism. It's like being a Marxist-Leninist who opposes Nazis. Two varieties of the same exact governance (top-down) paradigm.

  63. War on Drugs. 1994 Crime Bill. Cops, DAs and courts really cracked down on, uh, crack. It became very intrusive and adversarial. People used to feel safe when cops were around. Now they feel like they're peeking in windows, tapping phones, and just trying to catch somebody having a good time. Look back at the Prohibition days. We're IN Prohibition days, now, but we don't know it. Gangsters were COOL in the 1920s and 1930s. We're seeing the same thing, now. The more the establishment fights the war on drugs, the worse things get. It doesn't have to be a conspiracy theory to see the patterns repeating themselves. A REAL conspiracy theorist would say that Prohibition back in the day was a major, on-purpose plan to weaponize the FBI and grow law enforcement.

  66. Good-hearted kid, but in the name of doing good, his mind works along authoritarian lines. Point to all the bad things you could prevent, and build the machinery to target and take down the inconvenient voices. We could also catch a lot of bad guys if the phone company eavesdropped on everybody. Who decides who's a danger or what's a danger? We can point to atrocious criminal acts as a reason to implement controls, but we need to take a long view and see how those controls can be abused. We've already seen inconvenient voices silenced, who were RIGHT. It's actually become a pattern. Personally, I think that they should write into their TOS in big letters that a moderator might be eavesdropping on anything and everything. If there's an expectation or guarantee of privacy, then they have no right to break into private channels/rooms/whatever. That said, once a moderator witnesses a crime, it should IMMEDIATELY be a police matter. That should not be handed off to someone else to decide if it's actionable. At that point, there's a citizen bearing witness to a crime, and it must be reported to vested authorities. Just period.

  70. C'mon, Dave. The British made promises to MANY tribes and ethnic groups to maintain and expand their empire. You bring up the Balfour Declaration, as if it's some Sacred Text, when it was just one of many undertakings espoused by the British, most of which they KNEW they had no intention of honoring. They promised ethno-states to any and every tribe they could get in contact with, and they turned their backs as soon as they got what they wanted. There were hundreds of thousands of people in Palestine who were uprooted by external foreign powers to make the Jewish ethno-state happen. It wasn't their place to do so. There are a lot of people in the region who are still pissed-off about it. Israel's unsustainable without external force and resources. Dave's arguments work against anyone who doesn't know the history. He can say "You don't know the history" and dismiss you. But he gives a very selective rendition of the history of the region and the dirty tricks of the British Empire, and the USA's continuation of the same attitudes and policies.

  74.  @MrFurmos  What we're upset about - and why Scientific American is now considered a political propaganda magazine rather than an authoritative science magazine - is that it printed garbage science, and, in my humble opinion, it has been printing junk/politically-driven "science" for decades. That was the point Maher made, to his credit. The fact that the garbage got printed says that the editorial board of Scientific American sucks. There's no getting away from that. Now, maybe that junk was rammed through by the lady who got fired. But that says that Scientific American entrusted a nut case with far too much power, and with no brakes on her antics, until it finally became obvious enough to the general public that they had to do something. That woman should never have made it that high in the staff of Scientific American, and it wouldn't, if Scientific American had meaningful standards and upheld its standards. If you believe Scientific American is a reputable journal, then why isn't New York City under water, yet?

Screw all of them until there's a REAL come-to-Jesus moment, not just for being wrong, but for how vicious they were towards people who got it right. They wouldn't listen to the evidence. They couldn't grasp "relative" versus "absolute" risk. They ignored the actual moral issues at stake, as well as the medical issues at stake. Now, of course, they'll expect US to PAY for the fallout.

He was very destructive in Hungary, as Gorka points out. Very corrosive to their social fabric. What's left in his wake? Conservative, Christin governments. He's the Satan that reminds everyone about God. Pushing the woke crap to the extreme is creating overwhelming cultural counter-forces. Who knows?

Just anecdotal, but I think there are a lot more of these "normal until vaccinated" cases, and they're downplayed just like VAERs reports. The fact is that there are legit concerns about quality control in conventional vaccines. There is also some debate on whether vaccines continue to be necessary when the illnesses they combat have been virtually eliminated. The "vaccines cause autism" hypothesis hasn't been seriously investigated or debated. This is America. We're BUILT on the enormous benefits of free expression and the right to property. We have a lot of people in high places who despise debate, property rights (starting with ownership of your own body!) and free expression.

  88. Prager dreads that American-Israeli co-proxy sphere will come to an end.

  89. FWIW, actors have always been the propaganda mouthpieces for the establishment. What actors are saying now tells you how far the establishment has changed.

  90. More than half the country wants to protect the one thing they get free from the government. Even if it destroys society and the economy, they will vote Democrat to protect their little freebie, whatever it is.

  91. It's hard to think of what pre-conditions she would have to place on the interview or if she would try. It's hard to imagine her surviving a Joe Rogan open-form interview without losing it.

  92.  @mattturner5750  DW will lose some libertarians over Zionism.

  93.  @RedFoxwithTubeSocks-hi7jj  It's a tough concept because a lot of people are attracted only to people who aren't attracted to them. Maybe they're just always trying to punch above their weight class. Then there are people who lose interest in someone the instant they are accepted by that person. "They're too easy."

  94. You can split hairs, but the fact is, the continuity from Obama to Biden is obvious. Obama ran a purge when he became president. And he had 2 terms to get his guys in. A lot of Bush's guys were already part of the program. They did everything they could to thwart the Trump admin, and most of those guys were still in place throughout Trump's admin. Trump caused barely a hiccup in the operation. So, in a sense, this IS still Obama's crew, to a great extent and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he maintained a pipeline, and a lot of his top people are Joe's top people. And Joe's not running anything. It's all about the team around him, and they're all political operatives, including the top generals. Trump either didn't understand this, or he's just a Trojan horse, because he did NOT come prepared to fire darn near EVERYbody, and he made some terrible appointments. He will probably be the nominee, and if he is, he's got my vote. I'm just pretty black-pilled on the whole thing, at the moment.

  95. What an obvious ploy to muzzle her guest.

  96. Whitlock's a conservative who wears his Christianity on his sleeve. He makes a lot of good libertarian arguments, but we part ways on our reasoning, sometimes, when he bases some of his arguments on his Christian faith. I think he'd probably consider homosexuality a sin. I think he was a skeptic about the vax, and against lockdowns and mandates. People would classify him as MAGA, probably. I agree with a lot of MAGA policies compared to tax, spend, surveil, and do war policies.

  98. She was bad for the Republican Party. Why wouldn't MSNBC embrace her? She's on their side!

  99.  @chillones9574  Sad that perversion is the thing that woke people up against the authoritarian trend. Imagine how far down the path we'd go if they had the wisdom and moral grounding to leave the kids alone. But socialism is perverse and they can't help themselves.

  100. California is a home-grown example of the corruption and dysfunction of 1-party rule.

  101. The thing that made the U.S. Government so great for so long was all the things it did NOT do, in fact was forbidden to do. That's because everything government touches turns to shit.

  102. So you don't like BRICS? Our leaders are doing everything possible to push 2/3 of the planet away from the dollar and into BRICS. Considering U.S. behavior under SWIFT, I don't blame them. I'm ashamed of what the USA has been doing abroad for decades.

  103. Fetterman literally bought a small town with his daddy's money to get started in politics as its mayor. Fetter-Man describes him nicely. He spits some politically popular truths, but he's a grifter, start to finish.

  104. It always puzzled me that the Hispanic vote was so pro-Democrat, because all the Hispanics I know have personal moral values that are in direct opposition to everything the Democrats stand for. It boggles my mind.

  106. Sorry. Usually I try to listen to the other side, but this guy's gaslighting makes me want to puke.

  107. We all like to think we'd be the 33% who said "F this! I ain't doin' this!" But I'm pretty contrary compared to most. Most people want to be part of the group they perceive to be the winning/dominant group. I'm the annoying devil's advocate in most situations. Comes from being a Boomer who isn't a fan of big government, always arguing with my big-government-liberal buddies.

  108. Capitalism takes many forms. Socialist countries are capitalist. They invest resources to make products, same as anybody. What's different is socialist markets are not FREE markets. "Capitalism" without "free-market" in front of it, is not what you think. You should always say "free-market capitalism." The Chinese are mega-capitalists. They're just not free-market capitalists.
