Check responssees set upp required compatibility and availability varies eighteen plus Last night, voters in New York elected a slate of far left communist radicals who will soon be members of the United States Congress. The elections are more significant than typical primary, and many conservatives, especially Republicans in Congress right now are missing the point entirely or even pretending that last night's developments are somehow a win for the good guys They aren't at all The problem is that many conservates, especially those in positions of leadership, really don't understand what's happening in this country, why it's happening, how it's happening, or where it's all going. So tomorrow on the show, we'll have a very in depth analysis that will hopefully clarify those points and reveal what's actually going on But the trouble with in depth analysis is that it takes some time to research and write. So Stay tuned for that tomorrow. Today, I want to talk about something that is certainly very much related As you know, I spent several years working on a movie that you may have seen called Ai racist. It's about the corruption and moral depravity of the diversity, equity, and inclusion industry which I infiltrated in the film I donned a disguise so cunning and so mysterious that It fooled the brain trust of American DI, including Robond D'A Angelo herself Very proud of the film, which quickly became the top documentary of the decade. We managed to condense the insanity of DI into a concise One hour and forty minutute story, which seemed like quite an achievement at the time. A all, DI is a sprawling industry with all kinds of fake lingo and bureaucracy along with support from every major institution on the planet How can you really do a comprehensive takedown? on DEI in less than an hour and forty minutes We needed every minute that we had, or so we thought. In retrospect, maybe there was a way to shoot a much shorter film This is footage you may have seen from New York following the Nick victory in the NBA finals. In just about ten seconds, this footage does a better job exposing the absurdity of the DI industry than anything I've seen since I'm a racist This is a tour to force. It depicts a morbidly obese woman overturning a nix themed garbage can viewing trash all over the sidewalk before walking away with the garbage can. looking like she's just carried out the heist of the century for the garbage can Watch Now from the moment I saw this footage and I saw that specimen Stealing the garbage can, I knew there were only three options. She could be unemployed She could be a DI executive Or she could be a government employee, probably a teacher, maybe a DMV worker There was simply no other possibility There's no chance that she was a functioning, productive member of society who had like a real job. The only question was what kind of leech was this indndividual exactly. and now we have our answer, courtesy of the New York Post A woman caught on video emptying a public trash can on the streets and stealing it during New York city's N Championship parade was a director at JP. Morgan Chase, who was fired Tuesday over the incident Post has learned Angie Baz forty was promoted to Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Cnected Comerce A JP Morgan chased more than a year ago according to her LinkedIn profile She previously served as exxecutive Director of Diversity, Equity, and incclusion, at New York basased Review website The Infatuation, which Chase acquired ' part of its broader push into lifestyle and experiential content sources say the bank looked into the incident after the video surfaced and a JP Morgan Chase spokesperson told the post This employee is no longer with the company So if the choices were unemployed, DI executive or government employee, Angie Biaz turned out to be the second option Now she's the first option And soon presumably she'll be the third option So she'll run the gamut. She'll get the trifecta As eager as JP Morgan was to fire this woman and They were probably trying to do it for a long time actually. The New York City government will be just as eager to offer her a job at City Hall. That's typically how things like this go With qualif qualifications like this, I mean, she could be running Mom Donnie's sanitation department in no time. This is one of those stories that even though everyone should have seen it coming. It does illustrate a very important truth about DI The job of DI executives, always and everywhere is to flood society with literal garbage whole reason for existing is to walk into an orderly environment whereere everything is going fine overturn the nearest garbage can and force everybody else to deal with the results as they kind of saunter away or waddle away maybe in this case, they plunder everything they see and leave a mess in their wake without any shame whatsoever because their mission in life is to make the world as Pulsive and dysfunctional as they are. What DI does in every case is elevate somebody who should be a DMV clerk into a position of power and prestige that dramatically exceeds their capabilities. This woman should not have been an executive in finance or any other industry anyy more than Kontanji Brown Jackson should be a judge or Conll Harris should have been Vice president All of these women in a saner society would be scowling from behind their desk at random people who just want to get their driver's license renewed They wouldn't dream of doing anything more because nobody would lie to them and tell them they're capable of it because they aren't. But as it stands, ogres like this who this wom, by the way, identifies herself online as quote, Dominican from the Bronx and first generation American, even though she's obviously not an American at all They're being handed executive roles at JP Morgan. and we can assume s said she was based in New York that she was being paid well over two hundred thousand dollars a year at a minimum Realistically, she was probably pulling in Three hundred thousand dollars, or more than that What value was she adding to the company in exchange for all that money, exactly? In what ways will JP Morgan suffer Now that a trash can thief is no longer a senior executive Why are major corporations still employing these fraudsters at great cost even as they're conducting mass layoffs Imagine being a white guy who was just terminated in one of the latest JP Morgan layoffs And then you turn on the television and learn that this woman herer job She had to be caught on camera stealing a trash can publicly in order to lose her job, while you lost yours, even though you never did that That should be an instant lawsuit. if any of those terminated employees are willing to roll the dice with a New York jury I mean, it's not as though this woman had a good resume before this incident. herer whole career was selling the DEI scam from the moment she entered the workfce.ote In a bio on the infatuations website, Baz is described to someone who's Dedication to making a positive impact shines in every aspect of her work, the publication adds that Angie's Efforts have helped position the infatuation as a trailblazer in the pursuit of a more equitable and relatable Food media industry, calling her one of the brightest voices in the space Bayz also appears to have co founded a queer and black indigenous and people of color owned talent agency same page company, which is focused on increasing representation and equity and media and industry It works with artist, talent on creative projects, phhotoshoot, strategy and business affairs. Elier in her career Bayz worked as Diversity and inclusion project lead at Squarespace top job in diversity and inclusion at Sacks Fifth Avenue Hudson's Bay and Sack off fifth according to another Biographher JP Morgan saw this resume. and decided that this was executive material This is the same institution that recently admitted to debanking the president of the United States after january sixth. They decided that Donald Trump wasn't fit to have an account. with them anymore because he held a rally that JP Morgan didn't approve of This is not a small thing. We're talking about the single largest bank in the world. They're a pillar of the American economy and every other week They're revealing how unserious and corrupt they are. I'm not even going into the sordid lawsuit involving the Indian former JP Morgan employee who claims that his white boss sexually harassed him talked about her canons Maybe you've heard about that. That's a subject for another time. But it's all the more galling when you consider who JB Morgan, the actual man was Now he wasn't known for employing scam artists or debanking his political opponents His legacy was very clear. He single handandedly saved this country from financial catastrophe on two occasions, once in eighteen ninety five And again in nineteen oh seven We had no central bank at the time, like the Federal Reserve, which could have attempted to fix the economy by pumping more money into the markets. When everybody was panic selling and exchanging their dollars for gold, The treasury's gold reserves began running out, which could have easily meant that we'd default on our national debt for the first time ever Morgan saved the gold standard by resurrecting a civil War era law, which allowed the government to issue bonds to buy coin without receiving approval from Congress. And the law allowed Morgan and other banks that he worked with to provide the government with millions of ounces of gold in exchange for tens of millions of dollars in government bonds and Morgan ensured that the gold couldn't leave the country either. And then just a few years later During the panic of nineteen oho seven, which involved a massive run of the banks, Morgan, who was in his seventies at the time pressured other bankers to pool their money into a bailout fund to avert another economic catastrophe This is how many elites of the era, including John D. Rockefeller U, Stephven Mather, who built the national parks, viewed their responsibility. They weren't fixated on maximizing shareholder value because they had more important considerations shareholder value. doesn't mean much if the entire country falls apart or becomes unrecognizable. So the richest people in the country saw themselves correctly as stewards of the United States and its future In front of a congressional committee in nineteen twelve, Morgan was asked is not your commercial credit based primarily upon money or property Morgan replied, No, sir, the first thing is character. And the investigator asks Before money or property and Morgan replied, before money or anything else. Money cannot buy it Now today on the left, it's fashionable to describe Morgan as a robber baron This is one of those pejoratives you hear all the time Although no one ever actually tells you what it actually means They claim he sold defective rifles to the US Army during the Civil War, although it was ever proven that he knew the rifles were defective They claim he didn't earn his success because he was born into wealth And in particular, they say that he extracted more from the economy than he contributed which is the definition of projection, by the way. It's because of Morgan and the process of morganization or consolidation that we have the railroad system, which obviously benefited the entire country. And as I mentioned Morgan's bailouts to the U.S econom didn't simply save his own business. the bailout saved every business in the United States Now what we've lost over the past century are major private institutions. with truly legendary leaders who inspire the country care about the country. Bill Gates built Microsoft, one of the biggest companies on the planet But he's a degenerate with a creepy personal life U Nobody wants to emulate Bill Gates. He's repulsive and immoral. Tim Cook inherited Apple, proceeded to do nothing with the company. release emojis of pregnant men who incidentally look a lot like Bill Gates Kenneth Le and Jeffrey Skilling ran the Enron fraud Elizabeth Holones came up with Theranos Dennis Mulelenberg, the CEO of Boeing, blamed the pilots when two of his brand new jets flew themselves into the ground. received a massive gold parachute worth more than sixty million dollars when he was fired Marissa Meer, the Yahoo CEO made millions of dollars destroying the company. Tony Haywward, the CEO of BP during the deepwater Horizon oil spill, was busy attending a yacht race while the spill was still active He also said, quote There's no one who wants this thing over more than I do You know, I'd like my life back So when most Americans today think of the CEOs who are running major companies, these are the images that come to mind. People who become extremely wealthy without demonstrating any degree of competence or humanity. or really still With only a couple of exceptions, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk being Primary ones The leaders of American companies very often don't seem very interested in America This is a problem that creates a powerful downstream effect Bad leaders tend to produce more bad leaders in the future, and that's exactly what we're seeing now as morbidly obese morons who steal trash cans on camera are being handed executive level jobs in finance Dumb and corrupt people tend to hire other dumb and corrupt people And the cycle continues. Patriotism is easy when it doesn't cost anything. Anyone can stand for the anthem, post a flag on social media. say they support the troops. The harder question to ask ourselves is what oe the people who actually volunteered to serve the country. Gratitude is important Gratitude by itself won't help a veteran find housing It doesn't help them navigate VA benefits or provide transportation or connect them with counseling either That's why America's warrior partnership matters as America approaches its hundred fifieth birthday Purealk and its customers are working to raise two hundred fifty thousand dollars for America's wararrior partartnership by the end of July. This organization stands on the front line preventing veterans suicides by helping veterans with the practical challenges that can overwhelm people after military service, housing, transportation, access to benefits counseling The basics the thing that helps people regain stability and move forward.

But then I saw this story about the obese female JP Morgan DI executive stealing a trash can. and couldn't resist it. But actually the two things are related in obvious ways because nowhere has a DI phenomenon been more evident than in the creative fields. over the past few decades White men have been driven out of the film and television industries solely because of their skin color and their gender as. compompact magazine has reported, quote White men directed sixty nine percent of TV episodes in twenty fourteen and just thirty four percent by twenty twenty one But that remaining third went overwhelmingly to established names, leaving little space for younger white men. since twenty twenty one eleven directors under forty have been nominated for Emmy's None of them have been white men Now, wheneverver this comes up, inevitably, the response you hear from the left is that Plenty of the most successful directors are white men, that's true They'll cite directors like Stehven Spielberg, and Clint Eastwood and Ridley Scott Martin Scorsese, Georgia Lucas, and so on Never mind the fact that the youngest director on that list is in his late seventies And this gets to the heart of the problem, which is that to the extent that white men are still successful in the industry It's because they were grandfathered in And the compact piece has the data on this quote, betweenween two thousand four and twenty thirteen, over forty Genx white men received Academy Award nominations for screenwriting In the following decade, twenty fourteen to twenty twenty three, more than fifty Gx white men were' nominated alongside just six white male millennials So they're pulling a ladder up behind them In other words, the successful white male directors and screenwriters, aren't going to surrender their positions in the name of DI but they're happy to sign off on The new diversity rules that punish up and coming screenwriters and directors for being white particularly white mal And the results have been very evident. Spielberg was twenty eight when Jaws came out There hasn't been a single major white male director born on or after eighteen u eighteen nineteen eighty nine Until very, very recently, which we'll get to So that era' Spielberg would have been rising to prominence in twenty seventeen, which was around the time that anti white male discrimination was peaking just after Obama's first term, but also during the initial Backlash Now today, instead of getting a new Spielberg We're getting directors like, for example, Ryan Kugler, who produce made films like Sinners which is explicitly anti white. That's why everyone pretended to like it We also made Black Panther Um as well Now how did Ryan Kugler get his start in the industry Well, it's an important question to ask, especially since filmmaking is one of the most competitive industries imaginable. Everybody wants to be a director It's a dream job So How did Kugler stand out from the crowd Well, it turns out that he applied to something called the Sundance Institute Back in twenty twelve, he was accepted into the Sundance Screenwriterss Lab, a highly competitive and intensive incubator provided him with mentorship and most importantly grant money to make his first film along with all the necessary staff Actually they provided a lot more than that. Watch here as Ryan Kgler explains What motivates him to make films and listen as he explains how Sundance basasically made the film for him. Listen. Cinema. is a format of telling a story that's so immersive that it works like no other no other medum do that storytelling process Human beings are able to connect with people that they never would have come in contact with their entire lives That's why storytelling is so important. That's why making sure filmmakers that have different perspectives can get out there and get made get seen When I first went to make this film, I saw what happened to Osley Grant on a videotape. And I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I was shocked and hurt and afraid. And the best way for me to get that out was still using my filmmaking voice, I thought, you know? The support from the labs was ongoing continued support When I left the Sundance Labs and I went back to continue to make my film, Michelle was constantly calling me to check in, Hey, what do you need? You know, what are you guys got going? I was still living at home with my parents and I was in the house with seven people. It was impossible to make a film in that circumstance. I love my family. But a call I get a call from Michelle and she says, Hey, man, we're able to support you through a grant process And with this money, you know you can get your own place. So I was able to get my own place to live. It was amazing. You know what I mean? mee and my fiancee got our own place and I was writing, able to work on the script, able to work with telling and the cast. It didn't stop there. They said, Hey, do you need for cinematographers? We can set you up with that. When it was time for me to shoot, I wanted to shoot film, know I wanted to give the story a tactile feel, you know Film was expensive. They had relationships with Kodak. They were able to set that up for me. gotot us to shoot film. The biggest thing that was most important was to shoot the film in the Bay Area. They were were able to help cut costs, provide grants, so that we shot the film at home. We made the film that we wanted that we wanted to see. It didn't stop there. We needed somebody to edit the movie when we were done. We had no money at the time Sund' Labs reached out and they said, hey, we can you we can give you guys funding to bring the editors up that you need, the editors that you want right there in the Bay Area. And the support continues and it continues, it continues. And it's continuing today with this award that you guys have graciously decided to bestow upon me So first he says that filmmaking is all about helping audiences see people they wouldn't normally meet in real life, which is absurd. Uh It's a principle of DI that you hear all the time, even though it's completely false. Representation does not make a good story Or does it contribute to a good story? It's got nothing to do with a good story. And then Without missing a beat, Kugler states that he wanted to make films in response to the death of Oscar Grant, one of the original BLM heroes from back in two thousand nine. Oscar Grant was resisting arrest around two AM on a train platform in Oakland when an officer attempted to taser him And the officer mistakenly grabed gun and shot him. It was clearly a mistake. The cop said he was going to use the taser. And then he reacted with shock when he fired It was a tragedy, but it wasn't murder. and it certainly had nothing to do with race. But for Kugler, this incident was going to be the basis for his filmmaking. He decided to make fake race narratives into a fundamental pillar of the movies he created. and Hearing this, the Sundance Institute Most of the hard work for him. They got him in house, they got him editors, they photographers connected in with Force Whitaker's Prouction Company, which producces film. Every day, the liberal white women running this program wanted to know if he needed anything else. And then once the film came out Sundance gave it a bunch of award As there's there's nothing organic about any of this U And this is the kind of process. this is how this is how they've been able to drive the young white males of the film industry is through things like this Rrian Kugler and his films are a vessel for white liberal dill. That's why sinners, which is Not nearly good enough to win an Oscar won the best pictures for that reason. Now Cugler is a decent filmak He'd be making pretty good movies even without all this help But we can say with certainty that he got a major boost in the process notot only because of his politics, but also because he's not white. And that's not a conjecture, it's based the words on the Sundance Institute's website. Quote, We aim to reflect inclusion, racial equity and accessibility across our organization and in all of our programs and platforms This includes but not limited to Staff artists, fellows, advisors, patrons, and guests of Sundance Institute Sunias also notes that, quote, Our events and programs are designed to encourage diverse perspectives while maintaining a culture of mutual respect committed to freedom of creative expression and uphold anti racist, anti sexist, anti dis discriminatory actions areas of the Sundance Institute community Now as you probably know, in DI speak, being anti racist means a lot more than we don't discriminate contrary, being anti racist as Ebram X Kendy AK Henry Rogers told us means that you engage in active discrimination against white people in order to benefit non whites That's what it means for the Sundance Institute to reflect racial equity in all of our programs and platforms. It means that if you're a white kid from the suburbs who wants to make actual films instead of racial propaganda, the Sundance Institute is more likely to pass over your application whichich means you'll probably never get your big break Now film schools like USC and NYU of course, do the exact same thing. any of these institutions that have a diversity programs That's what it means Diversity itself, as we know, Diversity specifically means not white males. any institution that wants to wants to emphasize diversity. What they're saying is we want a diverse person is a not white male. That's what it means Efforts to bring in diversity means we want fewer white males Everybody else is fine. literally everybody else. You just can't be a white mle And so this is what they've been doing. Same for production companies and talent agencies and PR firms at every level U Black directors Female directors with the right politics are given priority. This is from Alex Webster, the creative director of Outpost Studios, an independent platform for documentaries and commentary Quote, Diversity quotas are real on screen. I've had perfectly good contributors dismissed out of hand because they're white men forcing me to go back, waste more time and find female and minority contributors. who just weren't as good I'm not saying there can't be be just that for those projects they weren't I've had discussions as to whether a half Filipino or an Iranian raised here counts as diverse Play is diverse, an actual thing that was said behind the camera I've been told to my face that They'd love to have me as a director for a project, but the director had to be black Stribing a white bloke, the wrong side of fifty in the industry, they struggle Curiously, the poshest people survive, though One director I knew managed to get on a BBC career scheme reserved for diverse talent. productroion manager helpeled him fill in the form, claiming he had anxiety, which counted as mental health equals diverse. He was a white guy Now as you may remember Back in twenty fifteen, There was an activist campaign called Oscar So White. which came about because all the acting nominees were white. In response, the Academy announced that they doubled the number of female members and tripled their members of color as they called them They also announced that in order to qualify for a best picture nomination, quote, films will have to meet diversity and inclusion standards. Among them is the rule that at least one of the leadite actors or significant supporting actors is from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group in a specific country or territory of production whver you think It could be anything Canba helps you make that thing Cana is a simple online tool thing It's a way to design with our magic AI tool things. social media your thing, generate images or videos of your thing, makeake tecks or presentations to show your thing. Whatever needs to be done for your thing, Canva can make it an even better and bigger thing. Canva, the thing that makes anything a thing You thought this was your runclub era? Turns out, it was more of a thinking about runclub era Good news? Someone's marathon training is about to start Sell your workout gear on Depop Just snap a few photos and we'll take care of the rest. They get their race dayay fit and you get a payo for trying Someone on Dep hop wants what you've got Start selling now Deepop, where taste recognizes taste This is the same representation nonsense that Kugler was pushing at Sundance only now it's mainstream. As a professor named Harold Yulig pointed out at the time, Hollywood movies are watched worldwide. If there truly were interest and diversity to reflect the lives and complexions of movie audiences At least half the participants should be Asian Many should be Arab Many from Africa And most of them should not be nearly as beautiful as a typical lead actor or actress Now nobody could argue with what the professor was saying. So they tried to have him fired instead. In Hollywood and everywhere else, discrimination against white talent, white males in particular, became mandatory. James O'Keeffe recorded a Disney executive on camera admitting that white people, including the executive himself are disadvantaged in the industry. Watch Certainly there have been times where, you know, there's no way we're oning a way now. It's kind of unspoken There are times when it's spoken, but how would they say it? Theres no way we're hiring white helmments won't care they say L like straight to you or o. They'd be very careful how they message that to agents. According to these video tapes, Disney blatantly discriminates against whites, white men in particular I'm sort of like well prepared for it. I'm well positioned for it As far as Disney's concerned, I'm a white male. that's not what who they're looking at promoting them. As a white guy, even Michael has his own doubts about the possibility for advancement for himself at Disney. In fact, Michael actually got to experience Disney's discrimination against white males firsthand. You know know s The company eleven years now, so I have friends in HR and I have friends on the teivision. so they're like, look. Nobody else' gonna to tell you this m They're not considering any white mouse for a shop. They could just that who they want. They even passed over a qualified half black person for a promotion because they didn't look black enough. We wanted to hire somebody in our department a few years ago now. who was half black, but didn't like appear half black U There was a creative executive who was like, we're not like that's not that's not what's going.. They wanted somebody in meetings who would hear a certain way and he wasn't going bring that to the meeting. That video is from a couple of years ago, was probably the most difficult period for white males to get into the entertainment industry, particularly if they weren't rich communists A lot has changed since that video was recorded And it's now becoming more common for white males to do an end run around the typical Hollywood machine to bypass programs like the Sundance Institute or USC and reach audiences through independent distribution Past month Uh, the two biggest films in theaters were backrooms and obsession. prorojects made and conceived by young white guys on YouTube, Re backrooms began on Fort Chan Backrooms had a ten million dollars budget just surpassed three hundred million dollars worldwide. Obsession put up similar numbers with an even smaller budget And this is extremely dire news for the Hollywood elites who have worked for so long to exclude white males from the industry That group is finding their way back without Hollywood's help I mean, without YouTube But Both of those guys would not have big blockbuster films becausecause Hollywood would have sned out because they're white males And they're doing a lot better than the mainstream films that the industry is producing Curry Baker, who's behind obsession is set to direct a remake of the Texas Chainsaw massacre He made it in the industry without any of these institutions doing all the work for them America was built by people who worked hard and slept well.

Bet known under his. YouTube account nameamed Mark apppplier Iron Lung grossed nearly forty one million dollars domestically This explains why, as has been reported by the Hollywood Reporter, movie studios are now flocking to Reddit And YouTube to find IP for films And there's a reason why those places, YouTube in particular, have suddenly become goldmines for creative ideas and creative talents because Those are places where talented people can find a voice without having to filter through Hollywood's diversity quota system. It's where especially young white males with talent and great ideas can go. be discovered and gain an audience on their own. So Hollywood is now doing an end run around its own diversity initiatives And this is the second big factor in possibly bringing back white male directors. Audiences are tired of woke slop and want something radically different That's why the new film Citizen Vigilante. which you may have heard about is doing so well I'm not going to spoil the film but I think it's fair to say you've never seen anything like it We're all conditioned to the modern Hollywood contrivance in which white actors are often cast as the villains Even when it makes no sense in the movie The Joker, for example which was actually applauded in some circles on the right There's a critical scene early on where the main character is accosted by a bunch of white investment bankers on the subway Everyone knows that if if you're going to get roughed up by three people in the New York City subway The mob is not going to consist of three white investment bankers Of all the people you have to worry about on the subway, it is not the white guy in a suit That's what the film went with because in Hollywood, depicting reality is considered deeply racist And along the same lines as we discussed the Netflix show adolescence, which became mandatory viewing, literally Kure Starmers Britain suuggested that knife crime in Britain is driven by young white boys who spend too much time listening to Andrew Tates Total nonsense, but the British government saw the show's potential for useess propaganda, so they invited the show's creators to parliament. They told every school to play the show in class White people simply have to be the villains, even when, especially when It defies reality. Citizen Vigilante does away with that contrivance again and again. The film is explicitly dedicated to rape victims in Europe who are betrayed by our legal system. And, you know, in the film, white people are not stabbing innocent old ladies in the park. They're not sexually assaulting schoolchren Instead, the assailants in the film were doing all the evil stuff are the same as they are in real life. They are non white foreigners who have invaded Britain. So while the film has some problems from a craft standpoint, some of the scenes just don't work. The writing is quite bad in places, if we're being honest It does accomplish something unique and worthwhile, watch. or was it? amatic integration We're really getting mental health now and support We will be better in the future. I promise that. It's the right answer The only problem is that on your social media. Since the event, I have not seen any regret. for empathy. In fact, I think you said that She deserved to be raripped What I mean is that they dress wrong and just make boys hy with their mini skirts. They show their legs and breasts. They wrote that she deserved it I will delete it Th These the values you're teaching your children? I teach him the values from Quran and these values from our family Well if these part of your values. that women in America and Europe deserve to be raped because of a dress code. Why did you come here? You know that we have cveil war in our country and we have a dangerous life. That's why we are here. And I think you know that. Do you know what I think? Why. I don't think it was the good ones that got out of your country. I think it was the bad ones. And I think you brought with you your archaic value system and your commitment. Now scenes like this are why the film is over ninety percent of rotten tomatoes according to the audience score which is really the only score that matters anymore It's genuinely surprising this movie is available for streaming on platforms like Amazon, but as of now, you can watch it there and on Apple TV, etcera. There have been some efforts to censor it. Germany is refusing to allow advertising for the film or public screenings, but in general, it's reaching a large audience And that audience is ignoring critics who haven't exactly been kind to the film, as you would expect One review reads quote, Citizen Vigilante is a contender for the worst movie of all time A ninety minute call to violence, fueled by the director's racism disguised as a film. This is an abhorrent and dangerous mess Now these kinds of reviews are not deterring people from watching the film. Actually those reviews are basically a recommendation That's the kind of review you read and you're like, oh, I got to see this Oh really? I gott toa see this one. Nor did industry pressure prevent this film from getting made or from being available on streaming services a pretty significant sign that the tide has shifted And it's not the only sign All this progress is infuriating leftists who were convinced that post twenty twenty, they'd continue to have a stranglehold on all media for the indefinite future. overver at a website called the Ankler They're panicking over charts like this one. Take a look It purorts to show the number of films made by non whites each year out of the top one hundred films As you can see, the number peaked in twenty twenty one and things have been downhill ever since And the media journalists are not taking the news very well to put it mildly Okay, not good. I mean, pretty terrible for only seventeen percent to be directed by non whites, given the makeup of the country, not to mention the world. Hollywood history were supposedly overcoming So the implication here again is that every demographic group needs to have proportionate representation among the top directors, even if they're not producing good content They're not accounting for the quality of the films at all because they don't actually care about the films Their only concern is to prevent White males from making them Then there's this chart showing the number of black filmmakers out of the top one hundred films Uh which you can see here. it's also dire from their perspective. But worst of all, is the representation of the Lat teines or the Latinks or whatever we were supposed be calling them. They're really not performing well at all. uote, Since twenty eighteen Latino directors have gone from zero films a year to one for a group that makes up approximately a quarter of the U. S. box offffice totals U And then the article ends with this paragraph, which I'm going to read verbatim because of the lack of self awareness, which is truly extraordinary to behold.Qote, If you think that the direction of the film industry, the last decade represents any success commercially, culturally, you name it And with the changes happening in the world looking ahead ten years, How much do you think an industry making basasically giant action films and sometimes horror films composed by a narrow demographic band representing, say, the most privileged ten percent of the population is going to be relevant to anyone. We need to tell different kinds of stories in different ways. Well, this is all completely correct The author doesn't understand why Kn the direction of the film industry over the past decade hasn't been a success been u terrible precisely because of all the DEI mandates that have excluded young white males, particularly white males who aren't deranged leftists from the industry. That's why films are less creative. It's why no one's watching them anymore That's why all the stories sound the same Well the industry can obviously be relevant As evidenced by backrooms and obsession, if young directors are making films that are bringing in three hundred million dollars on a ten million dollars budget that the movie industry is not dead. It's just returning to what it was before the leftft began the coordinated effort to destroy it in order to advance their own political agenda Because the fact is, no matter how you feel about it White males have historically accounted for most of the greatest artists of all time. everyvery artistic medium imaginable And this is especially true For a film where any credible list of the greatest filmmakers ever will not just mostly include white males but will basically be only white males Spielberg, Scorsese, Hitchcock Copola Tubric Lume, the Cohen brothers, Tarantino, Scott Fincher, Nolan, Ford Wells etceter You name it That's who we're talking about. When you go out of your way to exclude and marginalize and minimize this demographic as a punishment for being so historically great at the job you end up with a worse product. So any move away from this kind of discrimination is not just a win for racial equality, quote unquote, which everybody pretends to care about. But a win for the art form itself Now the truth is that They made a fundamental mistake when they assumed that talented white men could be silenced merely by shutting them out of the bureaucracy manufacturers, filmmakers, and musicians and authors and everyone else It was a temporary setback, yeah. But the thing about talented people is that eventually they'll find a way to outsmart the lazy, the bitter, and the entitled while untalented people who've never done anything worthwhile in their life, like the obese JP Morgan DI executive canan't achieve anything or go anywhere. artificially put there, but sheer talent can still win in the end And as the Fchand to YouTube to theaters pipeline clearly demonstrates, After many years of audiences having to endure turgid Hollywood slop, That's exactly what's happening. Ill do it the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks listening talk tomorrow have a great. Last month, we judged Martin Luther King Junior. not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his caring American school kids spend a lot of time hearing about MLK and Rosa Parks.
