 [continued from previous message] a media that never wanted them to hit the sites from Democrats who never wanted them to hit the sites from isolationists who never wanted them to hit the sites. I see unity among conservatives and Republicans and MAGA like I haven’t seen since the election. There’s a new analysis out that says if even more people had voted in the November election, guess what? Donald Trump would have won by even a bigger margin. On top of another one I just saw that said he almost won a majority of the Hispanic vote. Can you believe that? Not the biggest amount of Republicans since X, Y, Z. He almost got a majority. Incredible. Incredible. When we come back, I will read you that section that I want to read you. But what took place with the Israelis? I told you what would take place. What took place with the United States military. I told you what would take place. I told you no regional war. I told you no World War Three. I told you it was all B.S.. It’s all B.S.. You know what the Israelis did. And we did. Was incredibly important for humanity. But the enemy persists even if Iran is wiped off the face of the earth. TSA is not going away. They are terrorist organizations fighting terror. They’re not going away. Segment 3 This Islamist terrorism is not one battle. It’s not one country. It’s not even one region. It’s not going away. That’s why we have TSA in place. The president hasn’t eliminated that. That’s why we have terrorist law enforcement units coordinating with each other at local, state and federal level. Talk about sleeper cells. The sleeper cells were already here. What are they doing here? 911 was not a provocation. They just did it. Because that’s the mindset. Explain this a great length pages 45 to 58 in my new book on Power. But I want to read something else to you right now. We have an individual who could get elected mayor has the inside track. It’s not 100%. Who to me is the enemy within. Is the quintessential enemy within Hates America hates our economic system. He. He’s being championed by a royal family member in Qatar. He is a rabid anti-Semite despite his smile and he finally put a suit on. Cleaned him up. BDS movement that is an economic war against the state of Israel. It’s. He wants to defund the cops. He wants to eliminate jails. He wants city run grocery stores where you’ll starve to death. In the book, Ladies and gentlemen, I call this authoritarian democracy. This is very, very important to understand the authoritarian democracy. I saw a liberal Jewish lady who’s on the board, I think, at Columbia, and I believe she was on. Fox and Friends yesterday or today or whatever. The days are running together. And she says, look, I don’t have to agree with everything, but this is democracy at work. This is democracy at work because there’s there’s an election. Democracy doesn’t insure liberty, doesn’t insure property rights, it doesn’t ensure security. Democracy is a system by which you choose individuals in a government. That process does not ensure. Picture, unalienable rights, your basic individual liberties and your security and private property will be protected, and this proves it. This proves it. Representative government? Yes. Consensual government? Yes. But just to say, while we have democracy, we get to vote. Really? So I call this authoritarian democracy. In the book, I coined these words because I think they’re important. What is it? Negative power need not be exercised or present itself in such aggressive forms for modern Western societies. Most of which are said to be advanced, enlightened and democratic. Negative power is more opaque or what I call soft negative power. What is negative power? In one word. We’ll get into this in a couple of weeks. It’s coercion. It’s the centralization of power and of fewer and fewer individuals. Typically, Western institutions have been established gradually by experience and practice, reconstituted by design, to counter or limit the most aggressive forms of negative power such as dictatorships and oligarchies. However, over time, they tend to become susceptible to a softer form of negative power. I hope you really. Intrigued by this because this is explaining exactly what’s going on in New York City right now. Political parties and political movements in the West look for advantages in acquiring, holding and expanding their power. With a changing election, laws governing increasingly through non- representative bureaucracies and so-called independent agencies and commissions. The rule of carefully selected judges excuse me, the role of carefully selected judges or judicial councils and the like. The conflict between honoring and complying with institutional limits placed on power and the allure of self-aggrandizement is both real and perhaps inevitable over time. As such, the once authentic and thought to be effective institutions for limiting limiting excesses of power are transformed into Potemkin like fictions. Used to disguise the intentions of the abusers. Like this guy. Bizarre and mundane. And worse are transformed into tools in support of the exercise of soft negative power. I call this authoritarian democracy. If this guy gets elected, you’re going to see it in spades in New York City. Authoritarian democracy is when a democracy begins to slide into a form of authoritarianism, not all at once, but steadily, where authoritarian attributes slowly proliferate and one branch of the democracy begins to develop, the others are all branches coalesce into one. Either way, the exercise of power is steadily centralized and the citizenry increasingly peripheral. It typically results in the rule by the unelected governmental branches, but can also mutate into excessive executive or legislative empowerment. This sound about right, Mr. Producer? About what’s going on in New York City. Authoritarian democracy’s adopt the and excuse me, adopt and use the tactics of authoritarian regimes, albeit at first with more of a glove than an iron fist. But the underlying attributes are there. For example, legislatures that passed tyrannical laws by which laws are said to be legitimate simply because the legislature adopted them. Courts that disregard due process by which trials are said to be due justice because they were held in a court of law with defense counsel and juries present and so forth. The use of law is said to be a legitimate application of power because it is the law, not because it its proper just or moral law. Even today, the impact of authoritarian democracy has seeped into our society psyche so successfully that the late Austrian American economist Ludwig von Mises observed that one of the worst tyrannies of all Marxism has become part of the West’s psyche. Is that not the case right now in New York City? He said to a considerable extent without knowing it. Many people are philosophical Marxists, although they use different names for their philosophical ideas. And I. Go on. However, there are also those, perhaps many, who benefit from the government’s use of soft negative power, including when that power is used, for example, to forcibly redistribute the wealth and property of those who produced and earned it for the use and enrichment of others beyond the usual and basic needs of a civil society and justify what would otherwise be considered thievery as noble and even moral.
