0:34Welcome everybody. Third hour of the Clay, Travis, and Buck Sexton show kicks off right
0:39now. I need you to keep the pressure on, my friends.
0:43I need you to keep buying your fantastic copies of Manufacturing Delusion, How the Left
0:49Uses Brainwashing, Indoctrination, or Propaganda Against You.
0:52It is a great book.
0:53I wrote it. I wrote every word of it, and it is rocketing up the
0:58Amazon charts because of all of you.
1:00That smug, anti -Trump lib, Meacham.
1:03His book and my book are fighting it out right now for a new book
1:07in the world of politics to be top dog.
1:10And I need your help.
1:11Manufacturing Delusion. Get a copy.
1:13If you already have a copy, buy a copy.
1:14Give it to a friend.
1:15It's a great way to spread some freedom.
1:19Thank you all for all the support up to this point.
1:22We're now joined by Congressman Chip Roy of Texas talking about some of the big
1:26stories of the day. Congressman, appreciate you being with us.
1:30Great to be on. Hope you're well.
1:32Thank you. Yeah. Clay sends his regards.
1:34I'm sure there's some smack about Texas football I'm supposed to throw in here, but
1:37just we'll have to wait until next time on that one.
1:40In the meantime, I'd be diving into Texas baseball, to be clear.
1:45We're now in college baseball season.
1:47Texas is ranked number three.
1:48So you tell them I expect to come back on and talk about that.
1:51Absolutely. And thank you for informing me about this because I actually didn't even know
1:55that baseball was what was going on.
1:56So, nonetheless, let's talk about what's happening in the country right now.
2:00A partial shutdown. DHS funding.
2:03What the heck is going on in Congress?
2:04You're part of this august body.
2:08Yeah, look, all these things are related to what you just said.
2:11Let me try to break it down, right?
2:12Republicans passed funding bills, several, that would have funded the government fully.
2:18Democrats obviously wanted to play politics with respect to ICE.
2:22So what we ended up passing was a bill that funded all of government except
2:25for DHS, and we extended DHS funded for two weeks, but that expired last week.
2:30Now, the good news is for conservatives or Americans generally who want their border and
2:35country to be secure, we put funding in the big, beautiful bill in full prediction
2:41that Democrats would do this that gives us the money we need for Border Patrol
2:45and ICE. That's the good news.
2:47The bad news is that leaves TSA and the Coast Guard and FEMA dangling while
2:55Democrats play politics. And all of this is related to the Save America Act, by
3:00the way, because they don't want to give any time on the Senate floor for
3:04us to be able to force the question on the Save America Act.
3:07So they're leaving this funding bill dangling while they try to play politics with ICE.
3:13But we're doing our job.
3:14The president's using the money we put in the big, beautiful bill to keep ICE
3:18and Border Patrol doing their thing.
3:19We'll see how long Democrats want to leave our ability to fly in TSA, flapping
3:25in the wind, as well as Coast Guard and FEMA.
3:27Yeah, those tend to be important things.
3:30I think people think that when you're looking at what government should do, we want
3:34planes safe in the sky.
3:35We want our coast to be protected.
3:37These are real, like, essential services, you would call it, at the local level.
3:41So Democrats playing politics with that is unsurprising but definitely annoying.
3:46What are the, just so everyone's quite clear on this, what are the changes that
3:51Democrats in the House want or are demanding as this financial hostage -taking is underway,
3:58if you will? What do they want to see differently about ICE and how it's
4:02enforcing the law? Well, I mean, look, on the side that's not as controversial, you
4:09know, we actually support potential additional use of body cameras.
4:13Like, I think body cameras are pro -law enforcement.
4:17Absolutely. And things like that that we're willing to change.
4:20But the truth is they want to put a whole bunch of obstacles in the
4:26way of ICE carrying out their job.
4:28So, for example, they want some excessive warrant requirements.
4:32They want to put a bunch of hamstrings around ICE being able to go and
4:35find the individuals that are under orders of removal from an immigration judge, particularly the
4:40violent ones. But it doesn't really matter, right?
4:41There are 1 .6 million people in the United States under a judge -ordered order
4:48of removal. That's a big deal, and people don't know that.
4:51ICE is going around trying to do their job, and Democrats want to put constraints
4:55on that. They also want to make them not wear masks.
4:59Our point is the reason for the masks is the doxing and the targeting of
5:04our men and women who are out there trying to do the job.
5:07And it's been real. They've gotten threats.
5:09And we don't want to be in the business of Congress constraining the executive branch,
5:14frankly, no matter who is president, and telling them how our law enforcement personnel have
5:19to dress. That's an executive function.
5:22Now, where do you see this partial?
5:24shutdown going is there enough attention and focus on this that once again democrats are
5:30going to have to bail out and accept reality or how long do you think
5:35this is going to go on and where is the pressure here really i think
5:40it ultimately will boil down to people and their flights right this can last a
5:45little while and again we've got money set aside for border patrol and ice um
5:50but if uh you know the uh american people are unable to get on an
5:55airplane in a few weeks uh or flights start getting delayed or slowed down or
6:00look fema right i mean i know uh you know tennessee right uh took a
6:04beating under the uh from the ice storms and the in the snow and so
6:09you've got some issues there where we need to have fema freed up so if
6:13those things start to be real for the american people then you're going to see
6:18uh politicians uh you know scurrying to try to solve the problem but right now
6:22we're doing our job democrats are obstructing so we're going to play this out and
6:28keep you know we've got the legislation over in the senate that they can use
6:32to fund government they're refusing to we're going to make that message clear at the
6:36same time that we're making the message clear that uh the senate should take up
6:41the save america act and move it absolutely let's talk about that we're speaking to
6:46congressman chip roy of the great state of texas where i will be in a
6:50couple of weeks actually which is always exciting in fact i'll be at the alamo
6:53at some point which i've never been to before and i will say i learned
6:57about from watching the peewee herman movie uh a very very long time ago so
7:01i'm glad to actually go to the real alamo and spend some time there uh
7:05congressman the save america act this is something that i think should be getting a
7:11lot more news coverage than it has recently for a whole range of reasons break
7:16down for us what is at the heart of this and and what need why
7:20does this need to pass well let's first talk substance the save america act is
7:27the combination of the save act which has existed for a couple of years i
7:30was the author in the house mike lee was the author in the senate that
7:34focused on ensuring that only american citizens vote in american elections it focused on citizenship
7:40what you need to demonstrate when you register to vote that you are in fact
7:43a citizen and importantly checking state voter rolls against our national databases on citizens so
7:51that we can know that only citizens are voting that was what that bill was
7:54for we also had separate bills on voter identification we merged voter identification a requirement
8:01that when you go vote in a federal election that you present a photo id
8:03by the way 36 states already do that but we wanted to make sure all
8:0850 do so we put it in one big bill uh president trump wanted to
8:12call the save america act and we agreed with him so i introduced the bill
8:16in the house and mike lee in the senate we ran that through and passed
8:19the save america act uh on a bipartisan basis now i will admit only one
8:24democrat henry quair joined us but we passed it out of the house and now
8:28it's over to the senate all right that was the substance and procedurally we passed
8:32it and it's in the senate the question before us now is a procedural one
8:37will the senate take it up and there's a lot of misinformation floating around out
8:41there about the filibuster nuking the filibuster i'm kind of a nerd of the senate
8:46i worked there i was ted cruz's chief of staff so i know how it
8:49works the bottom line is this there's been something that that i call a fake
8:54filibuster or that mike lee calls a zombie filibuster where there's this just assumption that
8:59if you do not have 60 votes in the senate to shut off debate on
9:03a bill that you can't proceed that's simply not true you do not have to
9:09change the rules of the senate to do what you might envision if you remember
9:13the movie mr smith goes to washington right or you know you remember when ted
9:17cruz took the floor of the senate like you actually have to go to the
9:20floor and talk and hold the floor and that's the whole point we're saying look
9:26put the bill on the floor we have 50 republicans you have already said they
9:30support the bill put it on the floor force the question and if democrats want
9:36to delay it make them go to the floor and explain why they oppose an
9:4085 percent issue that 71 percent of democrats nationwide support 95 percent of republicans 75
9:48percent of black americans hispanic americans everybody supports voter id and citizens voting so we
9:55want democrats to explain why they're obstructing don't just have a vote at 60 have
10:00it fail and then say sorry and shrug it off that's the debate going on
10:04right now and that's all related to the spending bill as well well senate senate
10:09majority leader thune what's his uh you know what uh producer ally invite him on
10:14he probably will duck us because i think he knows what we want to talk
10:17about and doesn't want to explain this to his constituents as well as the rest
10:20of america but why does he oppose this as far as you know chip and
10:24we'll invite him on to speak for himself but it seems pretty straightforward to me
10:27yeah make them actually filibuster let the american people see that on an 85 15
10:32issue the democrats are willing to grind the gears of government to a halt to
10:37get their way so i suspect and i don't want to speak for him um
10:42but i suspect that the majority leader if i'm guessing would say he doesn't want
10:46to lock the senate floor down on legislative business for multiple weeks which is probably
10:52what would you do more than that what would happen, right?
10:53Because Democrats would go down, they would speak, they would hold the floor, they would
10:57try to offer amendments, they would try to delay, and Republicans would have to bring
11:0150 down to the floor, they would have to table the amendments, they'd have to
11:05let the Democrats keep speaking, and you basically have to keep exhausting the time, because
11:10if you put up another bill, you reset the clock.
11:13So basically, it locks the Senate down on legislative business.
11:17Now, they can flip over and they can do nominees, they can do judges, they
11:20can do executive branch nominations, but on legislative business, they can't bring anything else up.
11:25So I suspect right now, Thune's going to say, look, we got to get government
11:28funded, and we don't have DHS funded, so I can't put the bill on the
11:31floor until that's done. And that's a reasonable question and point.
11:35Once the funding bill is done, then the debate is, what else is your priority?
11:39We think this ought to be the priority, put it on the floor, and if
11:42that takes two months, so be it.
11:44It's a win -win. If Democrats obstruct it, then they've got to explain to the
11:48American people in elections. Congressman, I mean, once the government is funded, and so that's
11:53a very important point, and that's why a guy like you who actually knows the
11:56ins and outs of this, it's so necessary for everyone to understand the mechanics here,
12:00and I appreciate you walking us through that.
12:02But yeah, what else? Once the government's funded, we're in an election year.
12:06What else is the Senate really going to be doing?
12:08Let's be honest about this for a second.
12:10What other huge, as long as they can get judges and nominees through, what other
12:14big legislation is Thune going to hold us up on?
12:16I don't see it. Well, that is my view, and I believe that's what the
12:22American people's view, certainly Republicans, would be.
12:24I think there'll be some people in D .C.
12:26They'll be hung up on, well, we've got this important sanctions bill.
12:29We've got this important issue that, and none of this is remotely close to the
12:35simple issue of whether only American citizens are voting on our elections, and you present
12:39a voter ID to stop the fraud that we know Democrats are trying to carry
12:43out to affect the elections and change the country.
12:47So we either reclaim our country right now and demonstrate to Republicans that we're going
12:52to fight so they show up this November to guarantee we have a majority and
12:56that President Trump is not facing impeachment and stuff, or we just walk away from
13:00the fight and depress our own voters.
13:03I think we should call it up.
13:05I think we should debate it and make the Democrats take the floor.
13:09Again, I want to repeat, this is important.
13:11We're not asking to change the rules.
13:13There's a lot of stupid stuff being thrown around out there by people that I
13:17think are smarter than that that just don't understand it.
13:19We are not asking for a single change to the rules.
13:23We're asking the Senate, the majority leader, to use the rules to our advantage to
13:28make sure the American people know whose side we're on.
13:31We're on their side. We're not on the side of the Trump.
13:34It seems like it makes a lot of sense to me.
13:36We're going to invite Leader Thune on, see if he'll talk to us about this
13:39one. Congressman Chip Roy, appreciate you, sir.
13:42Thanks for being here. Hey, thanks.
13:46Owning gold, my friends, is something that you should consider as a long -term play.
13:52I want to be very clear about that, and here's why.
13:54Look at the long -term play that gold has had over the last 20 years,
13:58up over 700 percent in 20 years.
14:02Now, you might say, oh, a buck, that's a long time.
14:04Yeah, but if you're saving for the long term, if your 401k or IRA is
14:10something that you're thinking long -term, maybe even just 10, 15, 20 years out from
14:14now, but guess what? Gold is good, my friends.
14:17Gold makes sense. Gold is solid.
14:19It is a store of value.
14:21The thesis on gold remains strong, and Birch Gold Group wants to help you get
14:25gold in your IRA or 401k account.
14:28Think about what that can do to solidify your financial future.
14:31The price of gold increases when investors, countries, and central banks purchase gold for stability,
14:36and when there's all this money printing going on, dollar goes up.
14:39I'm sorry, dollar goes down, gold goes up, and guess what?
14:43That's one of the main reasons why gold is going to continue, in my opinion,
14:47to go up in the future.
14:48Text my name, Buck, to 989898.
14:51Birch Gold Group will help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into an IRA
14:56in gold. Text Buck to 989898.

19:21a three -hour tour and we can't have that a three -hour tour i when
19:27i was a kid i watched the reruns of that show so many times and
19:30let me just say yes my dog's name is ginger i was a marianne guy
19:33i was a marianne guy i just you know guy i was probably like 13
19:38watching the show but i was all team marianne there were a lot of ginger
19:40people out there um nonetheless here we are talking about the economy talking about jobs
19:47let's let's dive into it uh national economic council director kevin has it look i
19:52like to tell you guys i i feel like you're not going to get this
19:57from the general media ecosystem right now because first of all i feel like there's
20:01a lot of just a lot of talk about things that don't really matter beyond
20:05the 24 -hour news cycle that they exist in the trump economy is i thought
20:11it was going to be strong it is exceeding my expectation and i i was
20:16very bullish on it and you can go back listen to the show a year
20:18ago listen to the show a year ago when the market was going down and
20:21clay and i were saying it's fine it's just people getting skittish over the tariffs
20:25thing i think we can trust trump on tariffs i think he knows what he's
20:29doing sure enough here we are um so yes i am absolutely feeling like this
20:37is uh getting us to where we need to be getting this economy uh up
20:43up and running and like i've always point out to you there's the work is
20:46never done of course not there can we can always be more efficient always create
20:50wealth creation is not zero sum you have to remember that it's very important status
20:56is zero sum marxists think of the world as you lose i gain i gain
21:02you lose wealth creation is something that humanity and we the american people of course
21:08benefit from uh within a society and and i'll this uh this is where i
21:14borrow from naval ravikant who is a silicon valley guy who's gone to the right
21:20i don't know if he's officially pro trump right i think he is but he's
21:25he's gone to the right and he is a very astute thinker and he points
21:28out this paradigm that wealth creation can be shared by all make everyone's lives better
21:36it's status that people get very hung up on well this person has more than
21:39me and so if i take from this person and give to me and that's
21:43marxism that's communism that's what the statists the authoritarians like to do you If anyone
21:48has any doubts about this, think about your life as you sit there, hopefully listening
21:53to me on either, you know, in your car that is more comfortable than any
21:59car anyone could have bought by, you know, orders of magnitude 30 or 40 years
22:07ago. Right. Your car right now has more whiz bangs and things and your car
22:13is more comfortable if you're listening on the radio or maybe you're listening on streaming,
22:16listening on your smartphone, which is basically a supercomputer.
22:20It's, in fact, more advanced than the supercomputers that we would have had, what, back
22:24in the 80s. My point here is this is wealth.
22:27This is and you might say, well, that's not well, OK, yeah, but you're also
22:32taking hot showers and you're perfectly air conditioned or perfectly climate controlled and heated home,
22:38which is larger and far more comfortable with far higher quality food.
22:43You notice something that's true across all all places within the economy, you know, upper,
22:51lower, middle income, whatever you want to call it.
22:52Wealth is not zero sum.
22:55And we stand on the precipice of sorry for the cliche, but it's it's accurate.
23:02I think in this case we stand on the precipice of a revolution in productivity
23:06that is going to make humanity even more wealthy.
23:12And I mean, in things that matter, right, there's there's numbers on a screen, which
23:16is wealth. And then there's you having access to.
23:21Great, you know, great medical care, not health, not health insurance, great medical care, having
23:28access to delicious and and healthy food have in abundance without straining your budget.
23:36You know, having access to all the wealth, the accrued knowledge of the world on
23:44your laptop. I mean, these are all things that is that are that are happening
23:48in very real ways to be able to get into a car.
23:51That is, you push a button and it drives you and now you can do
23:55whatever else you want to do in the car.
23:56These are all things that are going to be happening.
23:58Never mind the robots, optimist robots.
24:00Elon has said that optimist robots within three years.
24:06And as you know, I, I have invested more in any, you know, for me
24:11and I'm not giving anyone investment advice, consult your investment advisor.
24:14But I have believed more in Elon for more years here in the companies that
24:19he has built than anyone else that I could have ever invested in or put
24:23my money in dollars behind.
24:24Right. You know, you put your money where your mouth is.
24:26I'm always talking about how brilliant I think Elon is, because I believe in his
24:30companies and I believe in what he's doing, apart from his politics, apart from everything
24:34else. But he has said that within three years, optimist robots are going to be
24:42better at surgery, probably within three years.
24:45He says definitely within five better at surgery than any surgeon alive today.
24:52Now, you might say, oh, well, Buck, I mean, how is that even possible?
24:55OK, how long has it been since we have had the technology?
25:00This seems very, very simple and maybe a strange comparison.
25:04But how long has it been since we've had the technology to defeat in chess
25:09the greatest grandmasters of chess of all time with a computer program?
25:14Right. We are getting to a place where for things that can be taught that
25:19do not require creativity or things that are based on data and require precise repetition
25:25like surgery, at least in some surgical procedures.
25:28Now, it may be that there's an optimist robot alongside a surgeon that the surgeon
25:34is directing and the optimist robot is doing some of the very precise lasering and
25:40cutting and things like that that are that are already pretty incredible with the technology.
25:44Why am I going on this rant right now?
25:47Because this is all available to all of us, this this future of abundance.
25:53It is happening as long as the lunatic Marxist climate change cult, we're all going
26:01to die, limit your CO2 footprint, lock down AI innovation, make companies social welfare, social
26:09justice organizations, not product and service first.
26:12You know, this is this is this is the fight right now because it's going
26:18to matter so much to your children and your children's children.
26:21You know, my son and hopefully other kids, you know, we're working on that.
26:26It's going to matter so much to their future.
26:28And this is why the Trump economic policies that we're seeing right now, the more
26:34they work, the better place will be in to perpetuate them after Trump is no
26:40longer president. And by having either Republican with a template or you can say, look
26:46at these results and look at these lunatic Democrats and maybe Democrats start to do
26:49a little bit of a Bill Clinton triangulation thing where they want to take some
26:53credit for Republican policies that have worked that that may happen as well.
26:58But here is sorry, I know I've taken, you know, I've been weaving, I've been
27:02weaving, but I've taken you in a bit of a circle.
27:04But here is Kevin Hassett, the National Economic Council on the status of the economy
27:09right now. And I want you to hear this because it's important.
27:11Play 15. We've been looking at how much more money people have to spend.
27:15because they're buying the normal bundle of goods that they need to survive, and how
27:19much money people have gained in the last year because incomes have gone up because
27:23of all of our great policies which are causing a business boom.
27:26And almost without exception, when you go look at it, incomes are up way more
27:31than the cost of living.
27:32And that's the real wage gain that this silly Fed study neglects to mention.
27:37And so the bottom line is that Trump policies are meant to onshore production and
27:41create jobs. And those jobs that we're creating are not for Jeff Bezos.
27:46They're for the people who didn't have a job before.
27:48And so they're by definition the people at the bottom.
27:51And our policies are working.
27:53They're very clearly working in the data.
27:55You know, it's interesting. I think it's worth noting that the opponents of these Trump
28:01policies, they have to speak in the broadest generalities about them because what they want
28:09to do just does not make sense.
28:11And we've seen this now.
28:12People are becoming more astute when you talk to them about government, government intervention in
28:20markets, government employment, the enormous largesse of these bureaucracies that don't really do very much
28:30if they do anything. It's true at the federal level.
28:32It's true at the state level.
28:34And, of course, this ties in with what we see with Mamdani in New York.
28:37What is his plan? They're spending, as I've discussed today, they are spending in New
28:46York City more than the entire budget of the state of Florida.
28:51New York has 8 .5 million people.
28:53Florida has 21, close to 22 million people.
28:57New York City is going to spend that money and they're going to take more
29:03from people that are doing things that create wealth, that create goods and services and
29:10things that people want and benefit from.
29:13And they're going to shovel it into a...
29:1640 % of it is going to go into the Department of Education in New
29:21York City. Now, think about this.
29:23I have family in New York City.
29:25You know, I was born and raised there.
29:26I know the city very well.
29:27I worked in city government.
29:28I worked for the NYPD.
29:30So I am very familiar with the way New York City functions and what it's
29:35like there. They're going to spend more money in this Mamdani budget or they want
29:40to spend more money in this Mamdani budget than the entire state of Florida will
29:43spend altogether. 40 % of it is going to go to education.
29:47And you talk to a lot of New Yorkers.
29:49They know they can't send their kid to public school because their local public school
29:52is failing and it's bad.
29:56So you're going to have this enormously expensive school bureaucracy that is 40 % of
30:05a 120 -something billion dollar budget and it sucks.
30:12You want to know how you prevent people from becoming more prosperous, having more...
30:19Again, when I say wealth, wealth, I don't mean wealth in terms of just like
30:22the numbers on the screen.
30:23Of course, that's a metric for this stuff.
30:26But you want people to have better health, better schools, better homes, better food, better
30:31all this stuff. Shovel a whole lot of money into a black hole bureaucracy and
30:38just waste it on nothingness.
30:42And take it away from the productive economy.
30:44This is what Democrats do.
30:45This is what they want to continue doing.
30:47And it's just, you know, this is the central fight over economics right now.
30:53I want, and the Republicans and Trump want to focus on wealth creation for the
30:59American people. America is the greatest wealth creation machine in the history of any country
31:03ever. And Democrats want to focus on taking more of the pie from you to
31:09give it to people that aren't making pie.
31:12That's just what it really comes down to.
31:14That is their maniacal focus.
31:17All right, your monthly cell phone bill, speaking of saving your money, your monthly cell
31:20phone bill should be in the range of $25 to $40 a month.
31:23It certainly shouldn't be $100 a month.
31:25But if your current cell phone company is AT &T, T -Mobile, or Verizon, you're
31:29spending more money than needed.
31:31Pure Talk service is on the same cell phone towers and network.
31:34You get the same exact 5G nationwide service.
31:36For $25 a month, Pure Talk gives you unlimited talk, text, and plenty of data.
31:41Now compare that to your cell phone bill.
31:43Pure Talk is an American wireless company with an all -U .S.-only customer service team.
31:47When you call, you're talking to someone right here in the U .S., well -trained
31:51member of the team who can help you switch over in as little as 10
31:54minutes. There's no contract, no cancellation fee either.
31:57Just dial pound 250. Say the keywords clay and buck.
32:01You'll get 50 % off your first month.
32:03Dial pound 250. Say clay and buck to make the switch to Pure Talk.
32:08All right, team, before we close up today, I want to give you a little
32:13bit of a taste of what awaits you in your copy of Manufacturing Delusion, my
32:19book out now, which I want you to all go get a copy of, all
32:22across this country. Guys, we've got to hit number one on that New York Times
32:24bestseller. We can do it.
32:26It's up to you, though.
32:26I just need all of you listening to buy one copy of this.
32:29If all of you listening right now buy one copy of this book, we're number
32:31one New York Times bestseller.
32:32In fact, many, many times over.
32:34In fact, if one in, well, I don't want to give you the numbers, but
32:38it's much smaller than if all of you.
32:39But if all of you buy the book, please buy the book, okay?
32:42All of you buy the book.
32:43It would be a huge, huge success, and I will owe you.
32:47But this is from the concluding chapter, The Future of Mass Delusion.
32:51Of course, the book's about politics, about mass delusion, about mind control.
32:55It was the first time I'd ever seen a black George Washington.
32:58I'd typed founding fathers into the search engine, and an image of George Washington came
33:02back. White, powdered wig, colonial attire, except he was no longer Caucasian.
33:08The first president of the United States was suddenly black.
33:10It was February 2024, and I was experimenting with Google's new Gemini artificial intelligence image
33:17generator. It's hard to believe that the stories about the new woke AI were true
33:21because it was so brazen, but sure enough, they were.
33:24Something where someone over at Google had made it possible that when anyone wants to
33:28see an image of the founding fathers, they were shown as black men.
33:31And that wasn't all. I tried to search for various historical figures.
33:35Some of the most famous popes, until Pope Francis, essentially all of whom were European,
33:41pretty much all famous historical figures coming up on the search results as black.
33:45It caused quite an uproar.
33:47Gemini was off to a rough start.
33:49How could this have happened to one of the most technologically advanced companies in the
33:53world? End quote. My friends, we are entering this world where perception management, perception control
34:05is going to become the most powerful currency of all.
34:09And the tools of technology that are available to those who want to get into
34:14your mind and make you think certain things, in fact, make you think things are
34:19true that are most clearly not true.
34:22Those tools are so much more powerful than they have ever been before.
34:28And this is why I think the book is so important in this moment.
34:31This is why I think it's so necessary for people to understand this.
34:35There has been the dream of authoritarians has always been total control of the mass
34:43mind or the hive mind, if you will.
34:45And we have seen how quickly we can fall into that ourselves here.
34:48We saw that with COVID.
34:49But we've even seen it with the madness of Black Lives Matter and the belief
34:54that thousands and thousands of black men are murdered by cops in cold blood every
34:58year and no one says anything about it.
35:00We've seen this with the madness of climate change, with the madness of transgender kids
35:06and even transgender adults, which has now become a story that I think everybody has
35:11to focus in on because of the safety risks that come from this kind of
35:17indulging people in their delusions.
35:20It is making it impossible for those of us who want to live in a
35:28safe and free society to ignore what happens when you break down the most essential,
35:36the most essential truths and you break down the barriers between reality and falsehood.
35:45And this is happening in a way that we all need to be very you
35:48need to be very cognizant of this.
35:50I mean, the 2020 election, by the way, you think about how they tried to
35:54shut down this was talking about Google, Gemini, they tried to shut down a discussion
36:00about the 2020 election and people who believe that something was up.
36:05They tried to shut up.
36:06They tried to shut that down and they were very effective at doing it for
36:08a time. And if they can do that, why can't they create the perception online
36:14that, you know, that that the vote totals are different and that everyone knows that
36:19this is fine. And, you know, we are in a fight for not just the
36:25soul of our nation, but really the soul of humanity.
36:28And that is what my book fundamentally is about.
36:31Get your copy of Manufacturing Delusion.
36:34Shields high. Talk to you tomorrow.
36:36This is an iHeart podcast.
36:39Guaranteed human.
