00:00:00.000 class is in session hey everybody and welcome to unlearn 16 class is in session today you just get
00:00:09.240 me and my shoe wall i thought i'd sit on a different side of the the room for a while
00:00:15.000 gain a different perspective put myself in somebody else's shoes okay these are all mine
00:00:20.260 some of the miranas are too small for my feet that's not the point of this podcast
00:00:23.920 i was going to come on here and do an education podcast i was going to talk about school and
00:00:29.480 starting the school and all of those things. And then I went on X. Look, we all make mistakes,
00:00:35.000 guys. We all make mistakes. And mine usually starts with going on that app.
00:00:42.380 And what I found out was that as of today, the former, I'd say president, but I don't even know,
00:00:52.740 like, does he get the title? The former president of the United States, Donald J. Trump, I almost
00:00:58.280 said his name wrong, came back onto X. And he came back onto X because tonight in a couple hours,
00:01:04.220 he's actually going to do a live conversation with Elon Musk. Now this return to X is a pretty
00:01:12.520 big deal. Obviously he left, he created True Social, he's not coming on. Elon has asked him
00:01:18.620 time and time and time again, really like begging, like this really pathetic little child who just 0.97
00:01:24.860 wants to be liked, we can dissect that later about Musk, to come back on the site. And as of right 0.95
00:01:32.320 now, he is. Now, is he coming back on because he's running and this is just going to give him more
00:01:37.600 exposure and more publicity? Of course he is. Is he coming on because the richest man in the world
00:01:43.420 is all of a sudden full force behind the swell, trying to elevate his popularity to that of a
00:01:54.920 star. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what's happening here. And do they love more than life itself
00:02:02.600 to talk about two things? Number one, the censorship of the left. And I'm going to
00:02:09.220 talk about censorship in a second. And number two, and here's the really funny one. Elon Musk
00:02:15.280 consistently speaks about who the rebels are and how it seems as though the left is siding with
00:02:25.740 the empire. They're siding with the government. They're not siding with, you know, and he'll use
00:02:29.980 examples. He'll use examples from V for Vendetta, from Star Wars, from all of these sort of pieces
00:02:36.620 of fiction. Hilariously enough, he's not using any real actual historical examples. I like the
00:02:44.060 pop culture references, Elon. That's okay. And he keeps saying like, why are all of these people,
00:02:51.000 why is the left siding with the establishment? Elon, you're the establishment, my dude.
00:03:00.340 You are the richest man
00:03:04.640 You are worth hundreds of billions of dollars
00:03:08.040 You bought one of the most significant social media apps
00:03:16.940 You then decide what can and can't be on that app
00:03:21.440 Under the auspice, by the way, that you're 100%
00:03:25.620 You're a free speech absolutionist, which you're not
00:03:29.380 under that auspice and then you claim objectivity and you claim free speech when
00:03:36.520 that's not who you are. When? When has the multi-billionaire ever been on side of the
00:03:48.400 rebellion? When has the multi-billionaire ever been on side with tearing down the establishment?
00:03:56.840 When is the multi-billionaire, and I do press everybody else, not just to look at Star Wars, although it is a classic example, but real life examples throughout history, throughout the world, many different countries.
00:04:10.960 When has the billionaire wanted to tear down what has been built that, by the way, has laid the foundation for them to gain that kind of capitalistic monopoly?
00:04:29.020 Because, by the way, Elon, you complain about taxes, so you're moving Tesla.
00:04:35.300 You're worth $300 billion, but you don't think you should be paying your fair share.
00:04:40.060 You hate unions, which, by the way, seems to be a very significant form of censorship and control and manipulation.
00:04:53.820 Again, very much top-down driven.
00:04:57.480 You consistently give the illusion of you are fighting for what?
00:05:06.080 The little guy?
00:05:07.220 What little guy?
00:05:10.060 What do you have in connection with anybody who is struggling at this point?
00:05:16.640 The only connection it seems to be, and I'm gaining kind of an awareness of it now, is the fact that your daughter wants nothing to do with you.
00:05:25.280 And you are trying then to pit and create and magnify this cultural war against, quote unquote, the woke mind virus, which is one of the most embarrassing three words I've ever said together.
00:05:40.060 And now
00:05:42.760 Donald Trump is going to couple with you 1.00
00:05:46.440 By the way, he thought you were garbage before 1.00
00:05:48.860 Just so you know, right? 1.00
00:05:50.820 You were garbage when you didn't vote for him, but nonetheless 0.99
00:05:52.720 So now what's going to happen is he's going to parrot you 0.99
00:05:58.140 He is going to
00:06:00.260 Sort of elevate your importance
00:06:05.940 not just in a in a economic sense because you've already done that obviously but in a political
00:06:12.560 sense uh to allow and control and try to manipulate let's be perfectly honest the ideas that get heard
00:06:25.980 now as a citizen you're full fully enabled and allowed and all of those things to do whatever
00:06:35.020 you want. There's no question in my head that you can do whatever you want with the power you now
00:06:42.340 wield. However, I am really tired and exhausted of people thinking or people assuming that you're
00:06:51.300 wielding that power for anybody else but yourself and what you can gain and how you can gain that
00:06:59.360 further and how you can expand your reach. You're not talking about breaking monopolies. You're
00:07:05.000 not talking about corporate responsibility. You are not talking about ensuring that people are
00:07:11.020 free and capable of controlling their own bodies and their own minds and their own decisions.
00:07:18.900 That's none of what you are talking about. And now Trump is going to use you like he's used
00:07:24.660 the Republican Party, to which he has said way before now, if he was ever going to run,
00:07:30.680 He's been a Democrat his whole life. He would be a Republican because they aren't intelligent enough to know when I am going to play them. I know exactly what to say, when to say it, to draw them in and to get them to create this cult-like, following, card-carrying, baseball, you know, idealization kind of format. That's what he's going to create.
00:07:56.140 And these two boys are going to sit on this conversation or in this, I don't know if it's a podcast, however they're going to frame it.
00:08:06.780 And they're going to pat each other on the back until their shoulder bruises and their hand throbs.
00:08:12.840 And I use that word purposely.
00:08:16.200 But to what end?
00:08:20.460 Trump did a great, great move.
00:08:24.040 And I like to point out when people do make a great move
00:08:28.240 Trump stood on that stage with Hillary Clinton
00:08:30.300 And he said
00:08:31.120 I know the system's broken
00:08:34.360 I know she benefits from this 0.99
00:08:36.460 Clinton benefits from the system 0.98
00:08:38.500 I know all of the ins and outs 0.96
00:08:42.680 And the tax loopholes
00:08:44.440 And the monopoly formation
00:08:46.040 Basically, I know how to cheat legally
00:08:49.740 To make sure that I become richer and richer and richer 0.51
00:08:53.940 and to hell with everybody else, to hell with justice, to hell with morality, 0.95
00:08:58.580 to hell with equity of any kind, to hell with sustainability. 0.96
00:09:03.440 I know how to do that. Why?
00:09:07.860 Because I've been doing it and I've been using the system to get away with it.
00:09:12.720 Then he looks at Hillary and says, by the way, when she gets elected, 0.65
00:09:15.880 she's not going to change that system.
00:09:18.900 Do you think Donald Trump is?
00:09:20.980 did somebody because he never said it he only said the system's broken i use it she's not 0.89
00:09:31.200 going to change it because she's part of the the millionaire club that benefits and all of
00:09:36.140 her investors benefit donald trump is the guy that benefits from the broken corrupt system
00:09:41.700 he's never going to change it and even better he never said he was going to
00:09:46.880 So all of these individuals in the United States that are clamoring for his, you know, his comeback to fame, so to speak
00:09:59.200 All of them are demanding he takes that presidential mantle one more time
00:10:05.260 They're all doing it under the false presumption that he has any desire to drain any swamp
00:10:16.180 to change any system, to highlight government. When he was in government, why didn't he tell
00:10:23.560 us all who killed JFK? When he was in government, why didn't he release all of the alien footage?
00:10:28.920 When he was in government, why didn't he talk about and release files? Because he could have
00:10:35.920 as president. He could have declassified freaking everything. He could have said if he's so against
00:10:40.840 war and so against the manipulation of the cia and of former governments why not put it all on
00:10:47.020 the table why i say here's some classified documents bam this is what we did when the
00:10:53.120 u.s went in nicaragua this is what with the iran contra affair was about and this is what we did
00:10:58.060 and this is how reagan why didn't he do that because he has no interest in breaking the system
00:11:03.080 And neither does Elon Musk
00:11:04.280 And they hide behind
00:11:07.080 The lure of two things
00:11:09.980 Number one
00:11:11.180 Of a cultural war
00:11:12.760 And number two
00:11:13.680 This idea of protecting
00:11:17.160 Your freedom of speech
00:11:19.480 Protecting your freedom of speech
00:11:23.620 Protecting individual freedoms
00:11:25.860 While
00:11:26.520 Stacking the Supreme Court judges 1.00
00:11:29.720 And ensuring that a woman's 0.98
00:11:32.480 Right to control our own body 1.00
00:11:34.720 Is obliterated
00:11:35.780 We're now seeing
00:11:39.000 Schools
00:11:40.800 Putting up the Ten Commandments
00:11:43.060 On the wall 1.00
00:11:43.760 And talking about Christianity 0.69
00:11:46.980 Rather than 0.99
00:11:49.380 Having an actual
00:11:51.120 Secular education
00:11:52.440 I'm not talking about in religious schools
00:11:54.460 I'm talking about in publicly funded
00:11:57.200 Education
00:11:57.980 We're talking 0.92
00:11:59.640 About a rise of Christian, nationalistic, theocratic government 0.99
00:12:07.220 Heaven help me guys
00:12:09.500 When the Supreme Court ruled against women being able to control their own bodies
00:12:14.380 They cited religious philosophers and academics 0.96
00:12:23.580 who whose job it is to analyze and apply religious doctrine as it should help build the united states
00:12:36.460 are you kidding me that was never supposed to happen that was the whole point
00:12:46.040 Being able to have religious freedom 0.90
00:12:51.800 Isn't just freedom of, it's freedom from 1.00
00:12:54.160 Let me say it again
00:12:55.900 And this is true of a lot of things
00:12:58.580 Having freedom isn't just freedom of choice
00:13:03.960 It's freedom from indoctrinization
00:13:07.260 It's freedom from a forced learning model
00:13:11.840 Where no other perspectives are on the table
00:13:14.680 So if I say I'm going to have freedom of religion, I need to allow people to practice whatever religious faith they want to practice, as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else, that seems like a healthy line, without the state, without the government presupposing which is the best religion and which one they want to support, indoctrinate with, and magnify.
00:13:36.480 Now, don't get me wrong. The United States still does this. Of course it does. So does Canada. We do it with religious holidays. We do it, you know, we, my God, Christmas and the flood of those kind of ideals and images and cultural reality.
00:13:58.120 And again, I'm not talking about going shopping at the mall.
00:14:02.220 I'm talking about what governments do, what schools do, what days we still get off.
00:14:07.940 We still get off the 25th of December.
00:14:10.520 We still get off four-day Easter weekend.
00:14:14.320 Why?
00:14:15.620 Isn't until about 20 years ago, we used to have to have Sunday as a day of rest.
00:14:20.840 Stores weren't allowed open.
00:14:21.860 so when i talk about individuals like musk and trump they are giving an illusion of freedom
00:14:32.260 in a censorship sort of open like no censorship no no restrictions on what you're allowed to say
00:14:41.480 they give the illusion of that makes them sound new and it makes them sound unique
00:14:51.600 and it somehow, they think, makes them sound like they were in 1776.
00:14:56.860 1776, by the way, the amount of people,
00:15:00.640 when people say they want a throwback to what it was in 1776,
00:15:04.260 let me just give you a heads up.
00:15:06.580 Only 10% of the population were actually allowed to vote
00:15:09.800 in the newly formed United States of America in 1783.
00:15:13.680 You had to be white, you had to own property, you had to be a man.
00:15:18.960 90% of the population at the inception of the United States could not vote, had no power. 0.75
00:15:25.340 Obviously, African Americans took, what, till 1865 to have some degree. And I use that word loosely
00:15:35.320 because just because they weren't enslaved anymore doesn't mean that they actually had
00:15:40.460 freedom in any way, shape, or form. If you are an African American working beside somebody in one
00:15:46.200 of those beautiful free northern states who happen to be white, you would be getting 75% less of a
00:15:52.940 pay for doing the exact same job. Women weren't even allowed to vote until 1918. What? Let alone 1.00
00:16:01.540 have economic and social power of any kind whatsoever, let alone control their bodies,
00:16:07.440 which we are now starting to draw back. So when people have a callback to that time and that era,
00:16:13.620 Either A, they like the idea 0.99
00:16:17.000 Kind of like that pearl chick 1.00
00:16:18.720 Who constantly talks about taking women's rights to vote away 1.00
00:16:21.180 Or, and this is more likely
00:16:24.720 They've been sucked into
00:16:28.480 An overly patriotic, overly nostalgic
00:16:32.380 Overly simplified view
00:16:34.980 Of what the United States was based on
00:16:38.940 And what the United States used to be
00:16:40.780 And what it should be
00:16:41.820 They absolutely have no idea of how that got played out and how that was in that time or in that space
00:16:51.560 And they think these men want a throwback to that
00:16:54.720 No, they don't 1.00
00:16:55.800 These men, and it's all these working class people of the Republican Party that confuse, that just, you know, limit everything in my head 0.86
00:17:04.160 do you think they want workers back in the united states working with good paying unionized jobs 0.77
00:17:12.200 that are going to give them benefits and a pension not in a million years they're both
00:17:18.980 clamoring to do one of two things pretend they're bringing jobs back but they're actually going to 0.79
00:17:24.980 use migrant workers which by the way they only like migrants when they can pay them next to 0.91
00:17:29.700 nothing and abuse their labor, or they're going to put that labor and they're going to make all 0.98
00:17:35.160 of their products somewhere else. That's what's actually going to happen. And the working class 0.97
00:17:42.620 somehow has grabbed onto these individuals, the billionaires, as though they have something of
00:17:49.620 value to give them, as though trickle down economics, Ronald Reagan, what a disaster.
00:17:56.540 I should do a whole podcast and what a disaster that actor was.
00:18:00.160 But man, could he sell a line.
00:18:04.560 They want the corporate establishment.
00:18:08.140 They want monopoly formation.
00:18:10.680 They want all of the power in their hands.
00:18:13.920 They want unions busted left, right, and center.
00:18:18.400 They want all of it.
00:18:20.740 I'm going to go you one step further. 1.00
00:18:22.460 I'm going to argue both these morons would actually like women to be out of the workforce. 1.00
00:18:28.880 Want to know why? 1.00
00:18:30.720 You take them out of the workforce, and all of a sudden you have more jobs, more availability to sort of create and manipulate how you want the economy to necessarily feed you.
00:18:45.880 Well, funnily enough, there's a bunch of, you know, individuals without jobs that used to have, let's say, manufacturing jobs in the Rust Belt
00:18:54.780 Thinking that these guys are actually bringing those back
00:18:59.320 Thinking that they're actually a man of the people who want to elevate
00:19:06.600 And want to make sure there's a more, you know, realistic distribution of wealth
00:19:14.320 They don't want to make Americans great
00:19:17.820 They want to make America great
00:19:21.080 And what that means to them
00:19:24.140 Is enabling and allowing
00:19:27.240 Billionaires to get richer by the second
00:19:30.920 They want to use things like COVID and inflation
00:19:35.020 And somehow
00:19:36.480 Somehow convince the masses
00:19:40.320 that it is the fault of government spending on people who had no money and couldn't survive
00:19:48.100 during a pandemic, that that's why products are through the roof. When in actuality, time after
00:19:54.900 time after time, it has been proven that corporate profits have shot through the roof
00:20:03.420 during this time. Why? Because corporations are smart. They see, I'm going to raise the product
00:20:09.580 on this, I'm going to blame government inflation, and I'm going to collect my money.
00:20:13.780 It's a very easy economic lesson to see.
00:20:18.280 If it's just inflation, corporate profits don't go up, if that's all it is.
00:20:25.820 But if their corporate profits are driving at the rate, it's like a bit of a Trojan horse.
00:20:32.360 right why do you think different um presidents and prime ministers over over the decades
00:20:41.240 have have tried to figure out how to curb things like war profiteering because in a crisis
00:20:48.320 corporations take advantage of that crisis up their costs because they can so they put limits
00:20:56.760 to what those corporations can make and then what do they get called oh you're socialist you're
00:21:02.160 communist but the opposite of that is this level and i want you to embrace this is this level
00:21:13.360 of mass corporate oligarchical wealth that has been created and controlled and manipulated
00:21:26.320 instead of having an aristocracy where you were born into we put the crown on your head we say
00:21:31.760 how much money can you make and then we are going to crown you king or queen and that title comes
00:21:38.480 with it you know a fleet of lawyers to protect you from the law a fleet of accounts to protect
00:21:47.200 you from economic responsibility a fleet of workers to manipulate and and manage in order to
00:21:57.280 bolster your profits your profits we're okay we think we think these men predominantly men
00:22:07.920 but also women have somehow proved their value in society by the mountains of money they've made
00:22:18.880 and i think they've proven and and psychological evaluations would stand true 1.00
00:22:25.680 That the people who can figure out
00:22:28.800 How to cheat and manipulate
00:22:31.600 And how to break the rules of the system
00:22:35.400 And profit from it
00:22:36.800 And then insulate themselves
00:22:38.440 These psychopathic tendencies
00:22:41.920 Of the ultra-rich CEO
00:22:46.020 These individuals
00:22:49.320 These are the people
00:22:52.100 That we are then crowning as the best of us
00:22:55.100 When in actuality, guys
00:22:58.720 They're the worst of us
00:23:01.060 That level of greed
00:23:06.560 And mass consumption
00:23:08.380 And accumulation
00:23:10.280 Shows the worst
00:23:14.940 Of what humanity is
00:23:16.740 In a capitalistic society
00:23:18.880 Where, over the past 30 years
00:23:22.780 Regulation and limitation
00:23:24.840 on corporations that were created through great presidents like Teddy Roosevelt, one of my most
00:23:30.660 favorite Republicans. Well, he was a progressive. Trying to break monopolies, trying to make sure
00:23:37.060 there's antitrust laws, trying to make sure that these companies had limits in order to force
00:23:42.960 responsibility upon them rather than just allow them to mass accumulate. But the people whose
00:23:49.860 goal is to mass accumulate, when that is your goal, when that is your, you are the machine.
00:23:57.140 You are, Andrew Tate, the matrix. You're it. You're it. You're the thing you're talking about
00:24:06.480 deconstructing. That amount of money wields way, way, way too much power. And tonight
00:24:13.360 on x you are going to see the output of that power you are going to see the use of that power
00:24:22.600 now a lot of people are saying well this shouldn't be allowed this is manipulation this is that yeah
00:24:27.320 listen but that's what and i and i will say this money on any side of the political fence when you
00:24:35.260 are giving money and donations when money is at the root of your political system when money
00:24:42.900 allows candidates to get elected, stay elected, and stay in power, it is by essence corrupt.
00:24:50.020 It is by essence broken. You put a dollar sign beside anything, it's for sale. And if it's for
00:24:59.420 sale, it is no longer in the best interest of democracy. So I'm going to get off here and I'm
00:25:05.320 going to go listen to the ridiculousness that I know it will be. But I am going to listen because
00:25:12.700 if we try to censor it, if we try to limit it, they will utilize sort of that mentality
00:25:23.640 to only embolden themselves. My logic for a very long time has always been let the potatoes speak
00:25:31.580 because the more they talk and the more you let them talk, the more you can very quickly
00:25:38.260 and succinctly and analytically break down what they're doing and break down what they're saying.
00:25:46.560 And they'll cry about it and they'll call you all names in the book. But funnily enough,
00:25:51.500 they're never going to actually talk about the issue. And these two men aren't going to talk
00:25:55.480 about any issues tonight. Again, they're going to pat each other on the back until that shoulder
00:26:00.320 is bruised, and the hand is swollen. On that note, guys, let me know what you think. If
00:26:09.400 you watch it tonight, leave your comments in the comment section, and I will address
00:26:13.980 it next week. Same bat time, same bat channel. Dismissed.
