There's a reason Jason always says, "Don't doubt me." Months ago, he predicted that the narrative around COVID would suddenly shift by late September or early October. The press knows that the lockdowns are widely unpopular. They're doing everything they can to engineer a Biden victory in November, so they need to have all their "facts" lined up to justify the removal of the lockdowns under a Democrat administration. They have to start laying the groundwork for the defeat of the virus by a Biden administration so that Democrats can benefit from the goodwill associated with opening things back up. And now we're seeing the beginnings of it. The WHO announced over the weekend that they're now recommending against lockdowns because -- WAIT FOR IT -- "lockdowns just have one consequence that you must never ever belittle, and that is making poor people an awful lot poorer." YOU DON'T SAY. It's unfortunate that they came to this realization after their recommendations destroyed the livelihoods of millions of people across the world. And it's simply amazing how brazenly the ruling elites have orchestrated this entire event to their own benefit. Yet in spite of all the economic destruction, you won't believe how many people say their lives are better now than they were four years ago. It's almost like the media is manufacturing strife and chaos and heartache out of an otherwise remarkably blessed and peaceful and prosperous nation. Perspective is a helluva drug. Your own happiness and prosperity depend on your perspective. Are you focused on the right things? ***** Total COVID deaths vs total lockdown deaths: https://twitter.com/EthicalSkeptic/status/1314657527561441280 Ben Shapiro tweet of Gallup poll of people's satisfaction compared to 4 years ago: https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1314565353238921216 Funny video of Trump/Obama mashup: https://www.facebook.com/polymatthew/posts/10164311444445313 This episode is brought to you by our sponsors: Jordan Harbinger Show Allform Honey

Jason got banned from another advertising platform. This time it was Twitter. Who knows why! Probably because he trolled Andrew Yang one too many times. Fortunately, friend of the show Remso Martinez got him set up on Parler. If you aren't already familiar with Parler, it's one of the conservative alternatives to Twitter. They don't necessarily want that to be their identity. But that's how it's worked out for them so far, as anyone who is looking for another social media platform is likely to be someone who is disaffected with Twitter. Which likely means they're inclined toward conservative or right-wing politics. It's getting harder and harder for Americans to talk to one another. Political battle lines are becoming more starkly outlined every day as people continue retreating into their corners. Gone are the days where political parties even pretend to reach out across the aisle. Is that a bad thing? I suppose it depends on your perspective. One thing is for sure: every regime collapses eventually, and new political systems rise from the ashes. If you're passionate about creating a world that reflects your values, then it's time for you to start thinking about these issues in a different way. And that's what we discussed today. Let us know what you think! Also, Matt returned after a week away. Normally we'd bust his balls for skipping the show, but he had a good excuse this time. And he introduced that excuse today, as Eastwood Luca Zacharias Erickson got his first camera time. If you want to see his adorable little mug, go watch the video version of the show on YouTube. :) This episode is brought to you by our sponsor: The Jordan Harbinger Show

The first 25-30 minutes of last night's debate was some of the most compelling TV you'll ever see. It was ratings gold. Then the moderator, Chris Wallace, stepped in and began debating Donald Trump on behalf of Joe Biden. And the final hour was a snooze-fest punctuated by occasional highlights. No one entered the night in Trump's camp and left ready to vote for Biden. And no Biden voter was convinced to vote for Trump. There were no major surprises, apart from Biden performing better than anticipated (damning with faint praise). If you didn't watch it, don't worry! We'll cover all the important takeaways for you today.

Another day, another episode of fake news. As friend of the show Michael Malice likes to say, "the corporate press is factual but not truthful." In today's edition of How Can We Distort the Facts to Make Trump Look Bad, the New York Times published a hit piece claiming that Trump has only paid $750 in taxes in 2016 and again in 2017. At least, that's what all the headlines have reported. Journalists and editors know full well that headlines drive the news. All you have to do is read their own reporting to see how dishonest they're being. However, leaving that aside, let's take their arguments at face value. Say Trump actually has managed to avoid paying more than $750/year in taxes. First of all, good for him! Would that we all managed to do that. But he's just playing by the rules that were written by Congress. And where has Joe Biden spent the majority of his life? So Donald Trump has succeeded in a system that was created in large part by Joe Biden, and Joe Biden's campaign team at the New York Times and throughout the corporate press are claiming that Joe Biden is the solution to Donald Trump. What a magnificent hustle all around. The corruption of the American system is ASTOUNDING. If the corporate press believed any of what they say about advocating for the poor and disenfranchised, they'd be inundating us with headlines like "How to Game the Tax Code So You Too Can Make Billions and Only Pay $750 in Taxes." But no one is considering the best interests of anyone but themselves. Everyone ultimately acts in their own self-interest. It's up to you to look out for your own interests, because no one else is going to. And once you understand that, the whole world will start to make a lot more sense to you.

The verdict is in. The cops who killed Breonna Taylor will not be prosecuted for it, and that shouldn't come as a surprise. They didn't break the law. Everything they did was completely legal. Unfortunately, what's legal isn't always right, and what's right isn't always legal. We have no evidence that this verdict is a product of racism, just like we have no evidence that this Black cop tased and arrested this white lady at a high school football game because he was a racist. What we do know is that we effectively no longer have a criminal justice system. Violent rioters have been rampaging through the streets of American cities for months now, and in many cases, the only people being prosecuted are those who try to defend themselves. See Kyle Rittenhouse, who is still sitting in jail. See Jake Gardner, who killed himself to avoid Kyle's fate. See the Prius driver in Los Angeles last night who was chased down and attacked by "protestors." That was bad enough, but then his privilege for enduring that harrowing experience was that the police showed up and arrested HIM. Finally, see the Christians in Idaho who were arrested during their actually-peaceful protest of their city's mask mandates. You can burn down your city, but don't you dare stand outside and peacefully sing songs. The America we once knew is gone. And it's not coming back. No one is coming to save you. We're seeing the system work exactly as it's supposed to: in the interests of those who are already at the top. All the happy stories we tell ourselves about how things are supposed to be have no bearing on how things actually are. Life isn't fair, and the American system is the best evidence you'll ever see. Rather than just complaining about how bad it is, we can focus on understanding how it works, and then putting ourselves in the position to win anyways. ----- This episode is brought to you by our sponsors: Indochino (Code: Stapleton) NetSuite

It sounds hair-brained and alarmist to say that shadowy figures are plotting a coup against an elected US President. But that's why you start out by casting doubt on whether he was even elected in the first place. It's all part of the playbook -- a literal Playbook -- that operatives within and affiliated with the US State Dept have used for decades now to overthrow foreign regimes who don't bend the knee to the United States. We've seen it just recently in a number of eastern European nations, specifically Ukraine and Belarus. And wouldn't you know it, the same people who orchestrated those coups are the ones upon whom swung the entire Russiagate hoax. Now, if you're listening, you'll hear them advertising their plans for the upcoming election cycle. It involves BLM riots, mail-in ballots, and a contested election. Today, we discuss. ----- Here are the articles we talked about today: https://www.revolver.news/2020/08/george-kent-never-trump-state-department/ https://www.revolver.news/2020/09/transition-integrity-project-is-this-soros-linked-group-plotting-a-color-revolution-against-president-trump/ https://medium.com/@marisol.nostromo/americas-color-revolution-343cdf1b1181 This episode is brought to you by our sponsors: Helix Sleep Skillshare
