Roughly 129 million people voted in 2016. Based on exit polls, 12% of voters are Black, 11% Latino, 4% Asian, 5% LGBT, 1% Muslim.

If you look at those who voted for Trump, 1.2 million are Black, almost 4 million are Latino, 1.4 million are Asian, 900K are LGBT, 168K are Muslim. Look forward to seeing those numbers grow as Trump gets shit done in office.

Hating Breitbart: A Review

Hating Breitbart


Directed by: Andrew Marcus



Out of many, one. People from every race, religion, age group, and party affiliation all together in one place – acting as one people. This was a core value Andrew Breitbart believed in. The fact that the mainstream media separates us and tries to pit people against each other deeply offends Breitbart.

What is ironic is Breitbart comes from a multicultural person. He said it himself, "My dad is Jewish... and my mom is from Wisconsin, and my sister is Hispanic... and married an Armenian. And their kids... you couldn't tell what they are." (53:15)

We see some familiar faces like Larry Solov, Steve Bannon, and James O'Keefe. It is always good to see the human side of a person. We see the banter between best friends Solov and Breitbart. We see a common nemesis that keeps showing up, John Podesta.

What I like about Andrew Breitbart is similarly what I like about Mike Cernovich. It is unfiltered pure love for this country. Unfiltered is an understatement, these two are unafraid and in fact love confrontation. Both want to expose the hoaxing lying corporate media. Both understand the power of social media. One question that will never be answered unfortunately, how well would Andrew Breitbart and Mike Cernovich have worked together?

Silenced: A Review

Silenced

Directed by: Loren Feldman
Produced by: Mike Cernovich

This movie is a very important reminder that freedoms must be exercised every day to maintain their value. In this case, it is the freedom of speech. Andrew Breitbart often said, "Politics is downstream from culture." The political decisions we make come from our culture. Our culture comes from our words. That is how important speech is. It shapes civilization. Freedom of speech builds civilization. Silencing of speech destroys civilization.

The film covers a wide range of topics and how free speech affects each. Topics include Religion, Science, Art, Broadcasting, Journalism, Comedy, and Universities. I'm glad how broad this film went. That shows you how integral freedom of speech is to our way of life. Rabbi Moshe Taub in the film argues that the most important invention was the Gutenberg Press. The exchange of words and ideas as well as the ability to get information to the masses transformed civilization.

I also enjoyed the argument that to counter hate speech is not through censorship. It is through unhateful speech. Let the two duel in the marketplace of ideas. You could make similar arguments about business. We combat corrupt businesses not through the censorship or regulation of business, but through the emergence of new businesses that are good. Business is just another venue in the marketplace of ideas. This is how important freedom of speech is. It impacts everything in our lives.

Another interesting topic is how comedy is impacted by being silenced. Comedy used to be about pushing boundaries and making people think. That's why guys like Richard Pryor and George Carlin are legends. They were not afraid to push the envelope. And they made people think and expand their worldview. Sadly now, comedians have to proceed with caution because of political correctness. Pushing boundaries are too triggering. I've always enjoyed the counter culture of comedy. It is very sad to see that comedy currently has lost its edge.

My only criticism of the film would be I wished some of the arguments were flushed out more. In addition, more could have been done to explain just how impactful free speech is and how the silencing of it has an impact that lasts generations.

Take for example the science piece starting at the 24th minute. We see the arguments about how experts start to become political instead of using logic and reasoning, and how the governing bodies of these scientific institutions silence criticism of prevailing views. I think this has major ramifications. The film briefly goes into how poor dietary guidelines contributed to an obesity epidemic. I think it goes beyond that. By silencing scientific discourse, we have recommended guidelines to a nation of millions that has led to a skyrocket of many autoimmune illnesses. Allergies, Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, Cancer, etc. Neuro-Immune Dysfunction Syndrome is very intriguing, and I'm glad to have learned about it.

The argument that universities are the training ground for our future leaders cannot be stressed enough. There are future leaders of the scientific community, the economic community, the foreign affairs community, etc coming from these universities. There is no doubt, the degradation of the university institution has coincided with the degradation of government institutions. The silencing of debate has led to ideology. Ideology has led to blindness and incompetence and corruption in our government. I wish this point was stressed more.

The film made some great points, and I'm probably just greedy and wanted more. Before I knew it, the movie was over, and I found myself just wanting the film to go on. Honestly, each topic discussed could have been its own film. I look forward to the next film Feldman and Cernovich make.

4.5/5 Pepes


Some important quotes from the movie:

11:15 "Once you give authority to censor hate speech, who defines hate speech?... What might be hateful to one, might not be hateful to another"

20:15 "The danger of a government becoming poisoned, becoming corrupted, and creating an inability for free exchange of ideas, we have seen the danger within that"

39:00 "Free speech should be about getting to the essence of things"

56:15 “It has gotten to the point where comics will try to gauge whether or not what you’re saying is politically correct”

59:00 "A younger crowd can't really take an offensive joke. An older crowd will take an offensive joke."

1:00:00 "I'm offended over and over again... I'm just not a little bitch about it"

1:02:00 "It's not that they (comedians) don't like what someone else is saying, it's they don't like the fact that they can't say it"

1:06:30 "Colleges were at one time the place you went where you could do the most aggressive counter-cultural comedy. So to see how it has become the antithesis of that is really disconcerting."

1:12:30 "The greatest threat to free speech today is from universities because universities are the training ground for our future leaders"

Anything is possible when you have great folks. Believe me. I'm on Pepe.


There is a hidden rule about politics. If you aren't aware of it now, maybe you'll see the pattern by the end of this.

Politics is all about power. The status quo likes power and always wants more power. Power is a corrupting force. So the bigger a government gets, the more corrupt it gets. Anyone campaigning to clean up government is a threat to the status quo. And the status quo will not go quietly. Power is addictive and taking away that power is like taking away the drug from the addict. They will fight you to the death to keep the addiction going.

Someone once said in 2011 (and I'm paraphrasing), anyone who attempts to make the hard decisions to clean up DC’s financial and ethical messes will be “vilified” and “called every name in the book.” And these decisions are hard decisions. How do you tackle 20 trillion dollars of debt? How do you tackle a broken health care system? How do you tackle illegal immigration?

The person I'm paraphrasing is Steve Bannon. You've heard his name by now. Don't you find it strange before this election you didn't hear much negative press about Trump or Bannon? Both have been in the media world for some time. Bannon was an executive Hollywood producer in back in the 90s. Trump has been in the public eye ever since the 80s.

What happens when they went against the status quo in 2016? Racist, anti-Semite, misogynist, xenophobe, bigot. This is the hidden rule of politics. You character assassinate anyone who goes against the status quo. You've heard it all by now. But what were these men like before 2016?

Did you know Trump when opened his golf club in Palm Beach called Mar-a-Lago, he insisted on accepting Jews and blacks even though other clubs in Palm Beach to this day discriminate against blacks and Jews? Why did this Muslim woman vote for Trump?

If Trump is anti-immigrant, why is he married... to an immigrant? Depending on what poll you find, polls show Hispanics favoring stronger immigration laws. Asked the question, “Would you support a candidate who said that immigration policy needs to serve the interests of the nation as a whole, not a few billionaire CEOs and immigration activists lobbying for open borders?” "Most surprising, self-identified Hispanics are on board by a whopping 66 percent to 21 percent." Turns out those who have come here legally don't want illegal immigrants.

The Anti-Defamation League is not aware any anti-Semitic statements from Bannon. Same with the Republican Jewish Coalition. Bannon has hired a gay Jew, a half Pakistani, and a British Muslim to his editorial board. Raheem Kassam said about Bannon, 

“No, Stephen K. Bannon is not an anti-Semite. Stephen K. Bannon is not a white nationalist. Stephen K. Bannon is not far right, or an extremist, or someone whose influence should be feared in the White House.

“Stephen K. Bannon is a family man. He’s a father. Stephen K. Bannon treats his staff like family. Stephen K. Bannon is a phenomenal business man, a history buff, a successful filmmaker, and more than anything, Stephen K. Bannon is a true patriot. 

“Stephen K. Bannon is the man who flew to London to hire me, this brown guy called Raheem Kassam from a Muslim family to run his London operation, and he’s now put him in the seat on his radio show.

Bannon has stated he is "an economic nationalist." He wants to restore the American middle class and have it thrive again. Trump wants to do the same. And you know what? The message resonated with voters. Obama won Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania back in 2012. Trump took all those states back. The Midwest and Rust Belt represent the manufacturing heart of America. And Trump and Bannon want to revitalize it.

Now we come to Jeff Sessions. He made this statement about Rosa Parks back in 2012.

“With this resolution, we honor one of Alabama’s most remarkable citizens, Mrs. Rosa Parks. Fifty-seven years ago, Mrs. Parks sparked the civil rights movement when she refused to give up her seat on a bus. Her courage ignited major changes in our nation and lead a revolution in race relations. Mrs. Parks will always be remembered as a courageous individual, who confronted injustice head-on and, in so doing, changed our nation. Her legacy continues to endure.” 

Of course you could argue, a politician is going to say nice things. Arlen Specter regretted voting no against Session's federal judge nomination. Back in 2009 he said Session was egalitarian. Sessions voted for Eric Holder's nomination for Attorney General. The lawyer who claimed Sessions showed racial insensitivity, Thomas Figures, was indicted for bribery. Hard to believe someone who is convicted of a felony. And Sessions recused himself from that case. Maybe people don't like Sessions because he has a hard stance on upholding the law.

“I filed 20 or 30 civil-rights cases to desegregate schools and political organizations and county commissions when I was a United States attorney,” he says. “I prosecuted the head of the Klan for murdering somebody, and I insisted the klansman be given the death penalty. When I became attorney general years later, I handled that appeal and ensured that he was, in fact, executed.”

Bannon and Sessions are military guys. Bannon was Navy. Sessions was Army. So far, most of Trump's cabinet picks are military guys. Even Trump attended military school growing up. I believe most military guys are good people. They can say blunt outrageous things, but they are upstanding citizens. Ordinary people like you and me. Any quote can be taken out of context and made to look horrific.

The media is part of the status quo. Trump is a threat to their livelihood and so they will throw every smear at him to bring him down. This includes his allies. The controversy is made up because Trump will destroy the establishment. Yes, I am biased. I don't trust government and I see media as another tool of government. So whenever the media starts attacking someone, I tend to believe that person is ruffling some status quo feathers.

I hope this hidden pattern is more apparent now.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_the_economy,_stupid

One of the great ironies of this election. The same themes Bill Clinton used to upset Bush in 1992... Trump used to upset Hillary Clinton in 2016. Bill keeps screwing over Hillary...

The Three Themes:
Change vs. more of the same
The economy, stupid
Don't forget health care.

Trump was the change candidate. The voters were tired of Obama and failed promises. While Obama was trumpeting a recovered economy, the voters disagreed. Especially the Rust Belt and Midwest voters. Obama won Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania back in 2012. Trump took all those states back. And the underrated news item. Spiking Obamacare costs in 2017. You bet repealing it was a popular item. Struggling job prospects, struggling health costs, struggling sense that politicians are for special interests and not for people. The people had enough.

Michael Moore said it best. Trump is the biggest Fuck You in human history.

You Are Still Crying Wolf

"Stop fearmongering. Somewhere in America, there are still like three or four people who believe the media, and those people are cowering in their houses waiting for the death squads.

Stop crying wolf. God forbid, one day we might have somebody who doesn’t give speeches about how diversity makes this country great and how he wants to fight for minorities, who doesn’t pose holding a rainbow flag and state that he proudly supports transgender people, who doesn’t outperform his party among minority voters, who wasn’t the leader of the Salute to Israel Parade, and who doesn’t offer minorities major cabinet positions. And we won’t be able to call that guy an “openly white supremacist Nazi homophobe”, because we already wasted all those terms this year."

The media continues to cry wolf
