Leighton Smith Podcast #256 - September 18th 2024 - Michael Rectenwald

his position at New York University. He was relieved of his post. He guested first on podcast one oh one in twenty twenty one, and that was in March twenty twenty one, and again for podcast one seventy three in September of twenty two. Kamala Harris, Democrat contender for the US presidency, has been acclaimed the most left wing Socialist member of the Senate as vice President. She is frequently

tagged a Marxist. So what is she? That's a bone of contention rife among commentators of all political persuasions, Marxist or empty head, And that's a polite call. Who better to seek advice from than a past Marxist commonist professor Michael Rechtenwald. But first, once again on the podcast morning, I find that there is so much of interest that I simply can't cover it all, in fact, nowhere near it. But this is a common complaint on my part, I know,

but it's true. There is so much. So I thought, well, actually I had a couple of ideas this morning that I'll share with you a little later, either in this podcast or next week. But there was something that caught my eye a couple of days ago, and it came from one of our more recent guests, Robert McCulloch from Auckland University, who was in podcast number two hundred and

fifty one. And I'm going to quote you. This is not very long, but I'm going to quote it because there is I disagree with him on this particular point, and I'll explain why shortly. Headed has This is from his blog site down to earth dot Kiwi. Down to earth dot Kiwi has former pm Adern become New Zealand's single biggest individual emitter of greenhouse gases, and it reads it's impossible to keep up with the former pm Adern's

emissions of greenhouse gazes. Where she has traveled on carbon dumping into the atmosphere long haul flights this past year, to name a few. In November of twenty twenty three, she flew to Singapore to walk the Green Carpet and to give earthshot as including in the category of clean air. How ironic when you get homesick? How about around the world flight back to good old New Zealand to marry on location at a Vignard Yes, in January of twenty four, it was long haul to do the wedding in the

Hawk's Bay. Then in March of twenty four she burnt those air miles to Italy to inaugurate the academic year at the University of Bologna. Oh, and don't forget the carbon dumping flight up to Chicago in August of twenty four to visit the Democratic Party Convention for a yarn And why go to well I didn't see anything on her performance in there, did you? But you could say that Carmela is benefiting from her from Durn's experience. Sounds

like it than me. And why go to Italy once in a year when you can go there twice on a long haul jet to accept another award. This past week, she flew to Venice to whoop it up at an event coinciding with the Venice Film Festival. She preached there that we must demand from our leaders empathy and kindness. Competence would be a nice one to add, though always seems to be missing off her list. I don't think she could spell it anyhow. That's just a few flights

that we know about. We've got no problem with their travel on this blog, provided carbon emissions are priced, though we note the US does not have an emissions trading scheme like New Zealand. Maybe that's a reason Adern is basing herself outside this country, since she would probably single handedly blow our reduction targets. Now, that's a critical column of the ex Prime Minister of New Zealand, and I choose to disagree with it on I think a very

sound basis. Ex Prime Minister at Dern no longer believes obviously in man made global warming or man made climate change, Otherwise she would not do what she did and fire all those miles. Am I correct, Well, I have to be Is she really so hypocritical that she'd tell you can't do things, but she'd happily go and do it herself.

I'm saying or suggesting at least it's worth consideration that the Prime Minister should be congratulated on waking up to the con that she was part of mind you, but waking up to the con that we have all suffered from and finally realizing the best way to do it is not to verbalize it, but to just act accordingly. And I think that we should follow her lead. Robert McCulloch,

I'll see you at the airport. Michael Recton wat it's great to have you back on the podcast and I appreciate it very much much.

over in articles that Kamala Harris is a Marxist. And after all, her father was a Marxist professor, So why wouldn't she be or couldn't she be with your experience, would you call her a Marxist?

therefore they need redistribution. There needs to be redistribution, and that has to be conducted by the state, and that's the state's role. And that's really where she comes down. And you know, it's a zero sum thinking. It assumes that anybody getting wealthy comes at the expense of somebody else, which is just fallacious. It's completely economic dribble. You know, her father was a Marxist economist, which is a contradiction

in terms Marxism is not economics at all. It is completely you know, it's it's really metaphysical rambling and it has no real economic basis to it.

from the worker all all day long. They exploit them. They siphon surplus value out of the labor process and retain exploited wealth, and it builds up over time and this creates a kind of impossible barrier for the worker, and the only resort is to conduct a revolution, a

class revolution. And it all comes down to their belief and the labor theory of value, which I once believed in, which is the idea that labor is the source of all value and that therefore, in order for the capitalist to get any value extraction, he must exploit the worker on a regular day to day, minute by minute basis,

paying them a fraction of what they really produce. Of course, this is all complete nonsense because there's so many factors that go into production, and the labor theory of value, once you knock that out, which is completely fallacious, that's not where value comes from. Value comes from the subjective wants of consumers, of people that buy products. That's where value comes from. It is not based on labor time.

If that were the case, I could go out and dig a hole for sixteen hours and expect to be paid at some rate, you know, the hole that was useless to anybody, and then filled it back up and expect to get paid for both processes. It's absurd.

and how just it is, you know. And having come full circle into becoming a libertarian, a free market, a believer in the free market and freedom, I now see that this is anything but the reverse. This is actually the reverse or the inverse of the truth that, in fact, there's no freedom under Marxism because the first thing you surrender is yourself. You are now property of the state. And when you have no possession of yourself, that's the

first principle of libertarianism, as self ownership. Once that is surrendered, you're a slave, and so there's no freedom. And of course, if you look at the goolog system, there was forced labor, unpaid, there was slavery, literal slavery in the Soviet Union.

here or how long they've been here. She wants to give them free healthcare. This is internationalist, globalist, and it's Marxists all at the same time, and those all fall together. But what was your term?

class pool that can never get out of it. I mean, that's really what it will come down to.

could have been a whole lot worse. Speaking of which, and let me divert just momentarily, the World Economic Forum, the WEF, which had had to do with just into redurance training. Are they still as active? Are they still as progressive as they were? And I used progressive in its in its proper sense.

That's really what it is in a nutshell. So to understand the Great Reset, all you have to do is study Agenda twenty thirty. I mean not only but because I did that in I think one or two chapters. But there's a lot more to it because the UN has a deep history as well. But Agenda twenty thirty is what they want to bring about, and that is a globalist plan to institute well to have the various

nation states and local and regional governments adopt. These are the agenda items, and all of the agenda items refer to things like redistribution of wealth, control over waterways, control over land, control over individuals. These are the technologies, the digital identity, and the whole slew of other means of incorporating the subject, including in CBDCs. But the Bank of International Settlements has said many times that the CBDC depends on a digital identity, and that is exactly what they

look for. They want to have every single subject under the UN's auspices as a digitally identified subject whom they know virtually everything vital about, inclusive of their finances, but furthermore, their political proclivities, their consumption and you name it. Basically everything that you do would be part of a database called which is the digital identity. It's not a mere

means of identification. It's a database attached to every single person, replete with biometric surveillance data, so that they know exactly who you are and what you do and they can verify it through biometric data.

known by the central bank. And since you know, in the case of the United States, it's the Federal Reserve. Of course, they're a private cartel. Nevertheless, they are also strangely and ambiguously an agency of the federal government. So likewise, the federal government effectively knows everything you buy, all the money you have, et cetera, et cetera. And also they can exact real time taxation on all income immediately. They could even impose negative interest rates on balances that were

not spent at the proper rate. There's all kinds of things they can do. They can forbid particular types of transactions or perhaps give quotas on particular types of transactions. Say you've had your full complement of meat this month, you cannot buy any more meat, you know, so they do that here with food stamps, you know, which is now all electronic in the United States. They could do

this easily with the CBDC. Everybody will be on food stamps, and everybody's spending will be capped at certain points on different items, including gasoline, because they certainly want to phase out the gasoline automobile and replace it, God knows why with the electron electric automobile, even though that is environmentally more damaging, damaging than the gas powered automobile, and it uses gas, it uses fossil fuels in order to charge it.

It's absurd. I mean, the whole thing is absurd. I mean, I don't know how this charade has and pulled over the eyes of so many people for so long, but it has well.

power plants are. That's what the power plants are using, is largely coal, and likewise it's just as polluting, if not more than the gas power engine. So it's ridiculous And how they get away with this is just like you said, the media is very much of a shroud over reality. It serves as a kind of obscuration of facts and instead gives you this packaged view that's completely wrong, and that's very frustrating for those who are somewhat awake and aware of what's happening.

are conspiracies and there are hidden agendas. This is a fact, and they're not so hidden all the time, and most of the time you just have to look under the hood and you'll find what's going on.

I think Kamala Harris is what is known in Marxist circles as an accelerationist. She wants to bring about these things quickly, even if it means driving chaos on the way, because there are those who say that you basically have to make things really bad in order to get the kind of change you want. And I think that's the kind of the kind of pretext to her political philosophy. If it makes things really bad quickly, then we're getting closer to the goal.

This is the kind of parallel economic and social bodies that I think are forming in advance of all of this. And they would survive. But how long it's hard to say. And how many of them there would be, and how many people they would have contain, very very hard to say. But the overall economic order of the United States could be plunged into a kind of post USSR disaster or you know, the kind of economics that the USSR had prior to their collapse, their total collapse. It would be

hard to take down the United States. You know, you look around, you go to New York, you fly over these cities, you see the vastness of this landscape and the incredible resources that have been built up here. It takes a lot to tear it down. It takes a lot concerted effort, but it would be it would be hobbled, severely hobbled at best after four years, and after eight years, it'll be on its knees.

to do what they wanted to do. When you when you don't have that freedom, when that's taken away from you, and let's say it it revolves around the administration of finance, then the things aren't going to be so easy.

enormous sign against him. I think it was five hundred thousand dollars, utterly destroying his business. So yes, as long as those people can do that, as long as the FDA here, the Federal and Drug Administration, Food and Drug Administration, as long as they can get to you. In fact, you could be destroyed even trying to keep yourself alive

with food. But we would say that, and I'm going to be slightly provocative here, as these smaller communities would have to be like the Amish, only armed frankly for self protection, not for aggression.

of the federal hegemon that's running the show. And I think you're going to have to also have people in those states that are liberty minded, so they're not only working on people through direct force and coersion, but also propaganda, so that it's hard to even find leaders who understand what we're trying to save in the first place. And they're penetrating local governments too, using Agenda twenty thirty, rules and issues and so forth to create sort of fifteen

minute type cities and all this nonsense. This stuff has penetrated local townships, and I know for a fact because I witnessed it in Colorado where these the administrators there, the local government was doing all these globalist things. So it requires an educated and resilient, recalcitrant remnant running the show in those various local places and resisting the federal incursions as much as possible. It's a very difficult proposition.

In the United States, there's an organization. I'm bragging about it here because I'm involved with. It's called the Mesis Caucus of the Libertarian Party, and that is the plan of the Mesas Caucus now has been adopted by the

Libertarian Party. It's called Project Decentralized Revolution. It's really only a revolution back to the kind of anti federalist, anti centralized government that the founders actually envisioned in the first place, and that the states would be autonomous except in matters relating to constitutional provisions that the federal government had authority over. In other words, only those things the federal government explicitly has authority over can be imposed on the states. Everything

else can be nullified. It's difficult, but it can be done, and there are cases of nullification happening all over the place. And you know, one of the other movements that's really along these lines is called the Defend the Guard movement in the United States. It's a movement to preclude the use of national guards state national guardsmen in undeclared wars across the globe. This is another way of the states asserting their own autonomy and it's not allowed to you know.

You know, technically the United States cannot fight fight wars without a declaration from Congress, but it's been going on without without really any hesitation otherwise. But at least they could reserve their own National Guard and keep them at bay and keep them from participating. So things like this, Defend the Guard, decentralized revolution, all of these things can be done, and they're already underway in some places. But

it's very difficult. It's not going to be easy. Nobody said that this remnant will struggle against this kind of detlitarianism that we're up against.

no Southern border. And what number do you do you use when you talk about the number of illegal immigrants who have come across that border in the last few years.

But they erected barbois fences and so forth to keep people from crossing into Texas, and that's perfectly legitimate in my mind. I think immigration should be handled at the local level as much as possible. But the main thing that's really going on here with this immigration is the incentivizing of it to the tune of billions tens of billions of dollars. The federal government is not directly funding it.

What they're doing is a little ledger domain in which they use a middlemen, the NGOs, and they're handing out tens of billions of dollars to these charities so called these philanthropy and letting them distribute the money. And this is in the form of everything from debit cards to transportation, to housing, to healthcare to everything. This is being accommodated

through these NGOs largely. And then the States then in the when this when the immigrants arrived, then they grant them housing and hotels and housing and who knows where else apartment buildings. In the case of Aurora, Hi, Aurora, Ohio, they actually took over at an apartment complex. Is driving people out of their plate homes and just basically a violent takeover of property. This is where we're at.

doing anything to reverse it when it happens. So in this case, what we're looking at, if Trump got in, hopefully he would have these places completely retaken. They have to have a counter insurgence to get these properties back, and that would be probably one of the first orders of business, I think, because if you're going to go after, oh, the illegals and deport them, I would think you might want to get the ones first who have actually taken

over other people's homes. It's unbelievable, is can you believe we're even saying this.

This has been one of the main reasons, I think for the whole Wok ideology, is to make people believe that they don't have any right to what they have, that in fact they should feel guilty and should abdicate it or or otherwise have been divested from it by the authorities. That that's it's just it's unbelievable.

is writing substact stuff. I'm watching the increase of it just in our country, and it's turning out some extremely good commentary, such stuff that the mainstream media simply wouldn't wouldn't consider. And I suppose it's probably a long stretch to refer to it as a contemporary version of those pamphlets that were written back in the seventeen hundreds. I think in your country. But is that a good ground, Well,

let's stay with you and yours. I would imagine you have good readership, but there are so many now that it's hard to know exactly where to spend your time.

I do try to keep my other page up to date, but I let the substack lead the way now, and it's just very it's very good. It's a good way of reaching a lot of people. You might call it like a kind of pamphleteering, as in, you know in England during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, you know when you had Addison and Steel and others writing for the public in these kind of public squares. It's the new public square for a long form, at least more than a tweet long content.

on with more detailed but this is how it finishes. However, he said, a Kamala Harris administration would be catastrophic. While President Trump can be thought of as a bad landlord, the Harris administration is a further step on the road to serfdom, a step toward totalitarianism. Censorship suppression law fare and attacks on the affluent middle class. The Democrats are a passionate, indoctrinated mob that cares little for freedom. Now, a lot of people, if they were reading that, i'd suggest,

would think, oh, what an exaggeration. It's nowhere near anything as bad as that. Your response.

not in full force, in in accelerated motion. And so I think that is a very good development, and I hope more more academics. But I think that many of them will be cold and quailed, afraid to join because it could mean the end of their careers as they do. That's how bad it is.

to democracy. So what they mean by democracy is kind of like ruled by the administrative state with our puppets in place, carrying out the deep state or administrative states deciderata, and anything else is a threat or anti democratic or fascist or nazi or whatever else they want to call it. And it's just such an irony because they're anything but democratic. It's in fact the opposite of democratic. It's dictatorial. It's a dictatorship by a particular elite of subversive elites, and

that's who's running the show. And they consider any threat to their single, solitary control of power to be anti democratic. That's what they call it. So they hate democracy because look at the people that would vote, and they want to discount these people. They want to discount the fact that you have at least half the country. I think it's more who favors Donald Trump here in the United States as opposed to the regime puppet that they want

to prop up instead, and that's called anti democratic. So that's the people they want to shut out. They don't want them having a voice, they don't want them casting about, or if they do, they want to make sure they get enough additional ballots from god knows where, including immigrants, I believe, another chicanery. Really, they want to make sure that they get they keep power, and they're willing to subvert democracy in the name of our democracy.

continue and we may have to suspend the election. I would not put that pass them, even.

as ready comments for every question. There was no hesitation. It's just banged straight into it. Whether it was right or wrong, or indifferent or whatever it was. It was straight into it like she'd had like she'd had the questions fed to her and been and been suare we say,

coached in them. And for anybody who who might struggle to believe that, you've only got to look at the the the interview that she did in Pennsylvania two days later where she was asked where she was asked questions by a lift leaning interviewer and she went back to words Sellatville. Yeah, she gave disaster schounces.

a pretty impressive feat. I've done a lot of public speaking and it's very difficult to memorize that much material. But I believe it was memorized, and I think it was ready made, ready to spit out at on queue, and that's exactly what happened. I do believe she was given some sort of information, if not the direct questions, then the topics, and just had a ready answer for every topic and subtopic.

One of the reasons that I decided to hold was who was the guy who who worked for Trump who announced on X that there would be in the next couple of days, within a very short space of time, that this would be revealed.

assistant would know all this. This is Lori Price. She she works in compiling news and keeping track of everything, and she would she wouldn't know. But I don't have that on a tip of my tongue.

exact criteria. Anyway, I won the first five rounds of voting, and I was very close to breaking through to fifty percent. And then there was a candidate that got eliminated in the fourth round. I'm sorry in the fifth round. And he had promised to if he was knocked out, although he was stingy to admit it could happen, if he was knocked out, he would definitely support me. He promised this three times, no less and one time no less than three seconds before he went up to announce that

he was throwing his support to the other candidate. He even said it to my face three seconds before he made his announcement. I said, you're not going to endorse Chase Oliver, now, are you? And he said, oh no, and then stepped up to the microphone and did just that and became his vice presidential running mate. So then

I lost. And then Chase Oliver couldn't win even in the next round because he didn't get fifty percent, so he had to run against nobody, and they call it noda, none of the above, and he barely won against nobody, but he did. And that's what happened and what we got in place of me, which is you were correct. I'm a conservative culturally conservative libertarian, yes, and this guy is actually for transing children and other things, you know.

And I'm not bitter about this because, frankly, I would have been in a precarious position now had I won the nomination of having to deal with the fact that you have a presidential candidate who's been they've attempted to assassinate twice or somebody has attempted, and who could can't

afford to lose any votes in the swing states. So I would have had the position I would have been in the very uncomfortable position of having either to take votes and maybe deprived of Trump of the election, or throw my support to Trump in those in those states, I would have gotten tremendous criticism and you know, vehemence either way, in one case from the libertarian people, the Libertarian Party people, and in the other case from the

Trump people. Naturally, of course, I'm voting for Trump, and I'll make no mistake about that. I'm voting for Trump, and I might even have voted for him against myself because I am in the swing state Pennsylvania. Well, the.

saying was get rid of the administrative state altogether. Get rid of the regulatory agencies, get rid of the intelligence agencies. Start gutting the federal government because we can't. We cannot survive under it. It is crushing us, and it is crushing the economy, and it's a it's crushed people's lives. They're not working for us, They're working on their own behalf. They don't care about the general welfare. They're you know, everybody is self interested, So why do you give certain

people monopoly over power? You know, since everybody is self interested. I mean, it's quite frankly between you and me and your listeners. I was running as an anarcho capitalist, that is, free market, no state at all, and I thought that, you know, I was going to argue that the federal government should be dissolved. What do we needed for? And you know, that would have been interesting, not to say the least, it would have been perhaps the most radical presidential candidate in history.

the victim. You know, NBC News has Lester Holt said, you know this, this assassination attempt is really coming on the heels of violent and incendiary rhetoric coming out of the Trump campaign. They blamed Trump for people shooting at him or attempting to shoot at him, or wanting to

shoot at him. It's unbelievable. So I can't be I'm just amazed at how people have been habituated to this and can particularly just forget about it, you know, weeks or days after when we're having political violence here in the United States, not on an unprecedented scale. After all, we did witness the assassination of JFK and of course Robert Kennedy and also Martin Luther King. It's not alien to us. But here we have it right now, and

it's the same person every time. And if this were the other if the shoe were on the other foot, you would believe there would be endless commentary on news, endless op eds in the papers to crying political violence, and also to crying Trump's role in it. They would have blamed them. They're blaming him in either case they shoot at them and they blame them, or if they shoot at somebody else, they would certainly blame them. So

it's just unbelievable. We're living in a similacrum, if you will, a media similacrum in which they completely curtail and inquiry and shut off thinking and curate reality. It's a stunning it's a stunning development. It is.

I think there would definitely be demonstrations, big ones. You know, it wouldn't really be civil war because it would be the establishment versus this people, right, So interestingly, you know, they talk about predictive programming. There was there is a movie called Civil War and in which it's really the state against this dissidant community or these dissident people politically. So I mean that's that's either predictive programming or habituation

to the possibility of what might happen. I don't know that the United States would see a mass armed uprising. I doubt it because people are still too comfortable, They still have things to protect, they still have things to lose.

of mythical proportions. It's a very good piece and it contains something that stood out to me immediately, the nine point plan for stopping the Great Reset.

what have you. I'm not going to adjudicate that, but yeah, that plan is effectively a plan for resistance, and it's not necessarily like an overthrow because it's just it's just as many people that get involved in it, that's who it will serve. It won't necessarily serve everybody, because not everybody's going to get involved in it, but for those who want to elude this totalitarian, centralized system, that's what the plan's for.

an amazing event. And I am friends with the guy that runs it, and they have very good ideas for protecting your wealth and perhaps your life if it comes down to that. So that's how That's how I'll leave it there.

and nurturing care for children. We're raising the next generation in daycares and behind screens, with parents so consumed by modern life that they aren't instilling strong character, as Nicholas discussed, a worrying combination at the end, from either look I would, this is what I say, this is how I look at it sometimes anyway, Yeah, there's a lot of kids

who aren't being raised well at all. There are, on the other hand, there are, on the other hand, kids that are being raised in households where they are brought up magnificently, with both parents working, holding down jobs and just doing what they need to do.

and you seemed unconvinced by this. I immediately recalled the name Jamie Beaton, and I'm sure that this demographic was the target market for his company, Crimson Consulting, though I haven't heard much about them in recent times. And then Scott goes on to say, my own experience with our thirty three year old son, however, couldn't be more of a contradiction to Roberts theory. A fairly bright individual, but

not exceptional. He graduated Auckland University with a b coom did his professional papers to attain his ca qualification recognized more widely, then set about developing a specialization field, which was financial analytics within accountancy, to make himself more employable. He has no desire to leave New Zealand, even though his parents at one point delicately suggested that they might

head to Queensland and would he follow. He seems unconvinced that the grass is new, necessarily green or elsewhere, and although he has a large friend base overseas, is resolute that he will remain here in the medium term. Lucky you, Scott, rest of us have got children disappearing. And then Scott goes on to say, I think he also has a perception that the job market is perhaps easier here, as with the exodus from New Zealand. There are fewer people

vying for the positions he wants. His corporate progression has been steady, and the companies he has found himself working for are usually domiciled off shore. Anyway, renumeration is on a par with what he would be making in Australia. He may be lucky in this regard, or his field might just be an outlier, but that negates that reason for leaving New Zealand. And then Scott goes on to talk to you about a trip that he and his son did in the States, and I'm sure you've read

that late. Then he goes on to say, I express the same sentiment as many in hoping that you keep up with the podcasts for some time. Yet the broad array of subjects keeps me looking up for the next one, although you will no doubt be a where by this letter that I am currently running one month behind. That's from Scott Scott.

eaten me. One of those vast array of eateries. Wouldn't be a coincidence if it was the same one. Then you get to New Orleans for a few days, and I'm envious with an overnight stop in a one horse town on the way wandered. Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, etc. All had a foreboding air of commercialism about it, as every last vestige of originality seemed to be squeezed out. I have advised a couple of people recently on New Orleans and Bourbon Street is a place to be clear of,

I think come nighttime. So it seems I haven't been there. We haven't been there since twenty thirteen. Ton's it's eleven years so it's a long long time, and my claim to have gone there for thirteen or fourteen I can't remember now different trips is starting to wear a bit thin. Maybe it's time to update now From Joe, I have an interest in megalithic structures at ancient civilizations around the world,

i e. Stonehenge, pyramids, et cetera. Researching this has led me to look at our own country and I'm astonished at what I found. Some examples of this would be Low. He goes through a number of different places like Silverdale, Bombay, Boulders, chin Hill, part of the above Isthmus alignments, places I've never heard of even little and know where they are. There's quite a few of them, involving megalithic structures, carvings,

and a few other things. It appears that over the years, acknowledgment of these structures and people has been suppressed and kept from the New Zealand public. In some cases, a seventy five year embargo has been put in place. Other cases, caves and skeletons remains have been destroyed. Geologists and archaeologists around the world are finding more and more evidence of ancient civilizations due to satellite imaging and they're now finding

pyramids around the globe in places never before known. The belief is that these may be all interlinked in some way. However, due to New Zealand's shutting this down, they are unable to study this part of the world where other countries embrace it. New Zealand suppresses Marie legend, even speak of feskinned people with red hair being here when they arrived. They also know of the structures around the country. It's also believed that a lot of married items were in

fact copied from these pre Marie people. My question is why and what can be done to bring this incredible story in history back to the public of New Zealand. Has the government tried to keep this from the New Zealand public and rewrite history. I can see a great opportunity here for New Zealand. Imagine the extra tourist dollars

that could come into the country. Any assistance would be appreciated. Well, I don't know what I can do to assist, but there's all sorts of restrictions that have been placed on various parts of this country, some inspired by local Marie, others not. I don't know that what's there is going to albeit true, is going to be much of an attraction to the the vast majority of people who come here. But then I might be wrong.

is a tweet of his from four days ago. You could have an entire interview with him just discussing this.

So this apparently is Jeffrey Tucker's tweet. No event has traumatized me so much as watching nearly the whole of the professional media and academic class be entirely fine with the sudden imposition of totalitarian controls on association, movement, and speech, provided they could luxuriate at home believing there to be a killer virus and hang out on video chats as the workers and peasants kept society running and delivered groceries to their front doors. That same group was thrilled to

receive trillions in payments for having done this. Again, nearly the whole of the top third of society was just fine with this and certainly raised no objection. Many within this group manufactured excuses for their deeply disgusting disdain for others. I doubt I can never recover the respect I once had for the wealthy, the educated, the credentialed, and the successful. In the COVID period, they deployed their privileges as a weapon against modern ideals and against all the people they

secretly regarded as they lessers. This really happened, and it revealed everything. In the end, they were rewarded for their disgraceful attitudes and behaviors. This reality, again, more than anything I've ever personally witnessed, has shaped my views on nearly everything and fundamentally disrupted much of what I once believed. So that's Taran, You're writer. Later on delivering the quote from.

I found out why. One of the major sponsors of Brownstone Institute was coming for dinner and Jeffrey was cooking for him. And so I've sort of left him alone because he's had his hands full so much. I don't know whether he does some, you know, interviews on podcasts anymore. He writes a column for The Epic Times a couple of times a week. I think he writes for Brownstone Institute frequently, as he would probably be aware. I just reckon he's got his handsful, but I think he's one

of the greatest. With that in mind, thank you for another great podcast, writes Cam this alliance, missus producer. With what you just read in a way intelligent and influential people. He's referring to another great podcast. You see intelligent and influential people. A couple would be better easy. Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray, Elon Musk not so easy. Let me tell you I have considered. Look, people want me to ask

me to do things, and I give it consideration. I set this up to do one on one long form interviews and discover things, particularly people, and I'm enjoying it. Still. Can you imagine trying to line Jordan Peterson, ed Elon Musk, or even Douglas Murray, because he's difficult enough aligning two of them up at any one time from different parts of the world. That doesn't work for me. But I appreciate your comments. Thank you, Layton.

I tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to in the next segment, which will be an additional one, and just for you at anybody else who wants to listen, but especially for you, I'll cover a couple of points that will take a few minutes, and just see if that makes any difference, missus producer. That means you can go.

of the deep state the administrative date. There are lots and lots of secrets and plenty of corruption in Washington, and there are plenty of people who want to keep it under wraps. Secondly, the lessons learned in the first Trump administration would facilitate greater achievement in the second is a simple way to put it. Then there's something else

that eventuated very recently. Ben Carson, doctor Ben Carson, neurosurgeon, retired, of course, a man who entered politics and what was He was Secretary of Housing at Urban Development in the first Trump administration. I had quite a bit to do with Carson on the two visits that he made to New Zealand back in the mid teens. He is a deeply religious man. He is a very honest man, and he has the very best intentions for his country and

the people in it. He interviewed in the studio with me on two occasions, and we did an interview on stage before a large crowd, which actually was a lot of fun. So why do I bring him up. The answer is because there was an announcement made at the Republican Convention and Donald Trump made the following comment. Kamala Harris and the radical Left have waged war in America's faith community since the day they took office. His election of Governor Tim Walls as her vice president nominee solidifies

their commitment to intensifying those efforts. Ben Carson is a man of unwavering faith, the perfect person to work with leaders of the faith community on behalf of the campaign to promote the protection of religious freedom and prosperity in our country. That's part of it. In his acceptance of this role, Ben Carson, amongst other comments, said, I'm honored to serve as his national Faith Chairman and will work

diligently with the faith community to get him elected. There's only one candidate in this race that has defended religious liberty and supported Americans of faith. And that man is Donald J. Trump. So being a man of character, of having character, I have a great deal of faith in Ben Carter's opinion. Now I got to drag this out a little longer because I want to quote you an

article written by Elise Stephanick. Elise Staphanick represents New York's twenty first congressional district chair, is the House Republican Conference Chair and the chair of Women for Trump. But this is don't worry about that. Just listen to the detail. Numbers don't lie. Women thrived under Trump, suffered under Harris.

Of the countless lies about Karmala Harris perpetuated by Democrats and their loyal stenographers in the mainstream media, one of the most egregious is that Karmala Harris's presidency will deliver historic economic opportunity for working women. Unfortunately, for the desperate Democrats attempting to erase publicly available data, numbers tell the exact opposite story. Carmala Harris and Joe Biden saddled women with the largest pay cut, inflation crisis, tax hike, and

economic crash so far this century. Whereas President Trump delivered the greatest economic boost for American women of any modern day president. The median income for women increased every year during the Trump administration, reaching the highest on record in twenty twenty. Real average weekly earnings increased eight point two percent under Trump, yet decreased three point nine percent under

Joe Biden and Carmla Harris. The unemployment rate for women overall, and for Black women in particular, reached a record low during President Trump's term. In twenty nineteen, the workforce participation gap between men and women shrank to the narrowest in history, and Trump's economy made history with the most women in

the workforce ever. This was not by accident. Understanding that working women are also balancing families, President Trump delivered a pro family economic agenda that included doubling the child tax credit from one thousand to two thousand per child and expanding eligibility. Nearly forty million families received an average benefit of twenty two hundred under his leadership, totaling credits of

approximately eighty eight billion dollars. He then created the first ever paid family leave tax credit for employees earning seventy two thousand or less and signed into law twelve weeks of paid parental leave for federal workers. He also signed the largest ever increase in Childcare and Development Block grants, expanding access to quality, affordable childcare and more than eight

hundred thousand low income families. President Trump signed into law a provision that enabled new parents to withdraw up to five thousand dollars from their retirement accounts without penalty when they gave birth to or adopted a child. The oft to ask question about balancing work and family life is can women have it all? Under President Trump's leadership? The answer was a resounding yes. Under Joe Biden and Carmala Harris not so much. Biden and Harris's failed economic policies

hurt every American, but hit women hardest of all. Women are bearing the brunt of Harris's tie breaking vote for Biden's comically named Inflation Reduction Act, which turbocharged inflation with a glut of ridiculous climate spending. Women are working longer hours and delaying retirement as a result. Talk to any woman in America and there is no question that inflation

is a woman's issue. Since Carmala Harris was sworn in as Vice President, prices have risen by ninetyzero point four percent, making it increasingly difficult for women to provide for their families. Women are the majority of grocery shoppers and grocery bills of skyrocket at forcing many Americans to cut back on essentials. A single mother of two and Nevada had to sell

a car to afford groceries. Under Biden, a mother of two in Michigan had to think about putting gasoline prices before buying my kid's clothes because of the Kamala Harris tie breaking vote for Biden's radical green energy agenda, Families now need an extra twelve thousand, five hundred and ninety dollars annually just to maintain the same standard of living that they enjoyed three years ago, according to Congress's Joint Economic Committee, and sixty seven percent of parents say inflation

has impacted their ability to pay for their children's education, school supplies, and extra curricular activities this past school year. The cost of childcare has increased thirty two percent for the average family since twenty nineteen, and nearly two thirds are spending twenty percent or more of their annual income

on childcare. The average price for a pack of disposable diapers has increased thirty two percent since twenty nineteen, and forty seven percent of families reports struggling to afford them. In twenty twenty two, Joe Biden and Carmala Harris's incompetence created a baby formula shortage, causing the price to soar to an all time high. Some forty four million people were living in food insecure households in twenty two, a thirty one percent annual increase and the largest one year

increase since two thousand eight. Women, she concludes, make up the majority of voters in America, so it's no wonder the Harris propaganda machine is in overdrive, attempting to gaslight them into thinking they've never had it better. But as much as Democrats may lie numbers, never do they show that President Trump not only cares deeply about women and all Americans, but also knows what it takes to stimulate

the economy to create historic opportunities on our behalf. Carmala Harris meanwhile, sees women as a convenient voting block to pander, to deceive, and then abandon in favor of an economic poisonous, radically liberal agenda. To my fellow women voters. Don't be fooled.

love getting your mail. There's been some very good stuff lately. See if you can match it for better. We shall return shortly. So there is only one thing to say, thank you again for listening, and we shall talk soon.
