Michael Malice - The Corporate Press Are Losing Control

This is what conservatives get wrong. Conservatives are, think that the enemy or the Labor Party or the Democrats here, and "We're gonna kick Joe Biden out of office, or we're going to beat Jeremy Corbyn," blah, blah. That's not the issue. Jeremy Corbyn is the tail. Joe Biden is the tail. The corporate press are the dog who are wagging that tail. (wind blows)

Michael Malice, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much, Chris.

How are you? Are you missing me?

Enormously. I text you all the time to hurry back.

Yes. Well, I'm back this week. You'll have me this week.

That's phenomenal.

Can't get rid of me. And then I'm going to see Jordan, Jordan Peterson over in San Antonio. What's San Antonio like? I've never been.

It's very corporate. It's, it's, um ... It almost feels like an '80s movie 'cause there's all these tall buildings. There's one cool little river that runs through the city, which is fun to kind of, uh, the river walk, but other than that, it's very much a concrete kind of edifice. And San Antonio's a m- f- ... Much bigger population, in my understanding, than Austin-

(laughs)

... but there seems to be a bit of a, um, soullessness to it.

Yeah, that's kind of what I got from the outside, that it's, um, it's definitely a bigger sort of downtown area than Austin, but Austin's so distributed. We went for a walk through the burbs of Austin for two hours, and you realize-

Yeah.

... it just stretches on and on and on and on.

Yeah, yeah.

It's crazy. Have you been keeping up to date with the Canadian truckers protest thing?

Oh, yes. Uh, uh, not as much as other people, but most certainly.

The honking will continue until freedom improves.

So yeah-

(laughs)

... I had this, um, chapter in my book, The New Right, that says, "Meme magic is real." And I'm sure most people listening, uh, have seen on social media that, uh, you know, in the last year or more certainly, there's been this meme of clown world, where people say something that's perfectly ridiculous and they're responded to with, uh, you know, a, a green clown, clown, uh, pressing his nose, or there's another meme where it's a, a lobster claw holding a clown nose saying, "Here, you drop this." So that had been a thing, and now literally (laughs) , they're literally honking.

(laughs)

And there's people on Reddit having meltdowns, uh, saying like, "I can't sleep. This is terrorism."

Yep.

Uh, and, and you're exactly right. The honking will continue. And th- the thing that's ... I, I've made this point several times and I'll make it again here, uh, especially with a British audience, that, um, there is a misconception by conservatives, and I mean American conservatives, I don't know about, uh, Tory conservatives in the UK, but that, you know, you know, in America especially there's different groups that th- the progressives latch onto to further their agenda. It's Muslim immigrants, it's transgender bathrooms one month, uh, or whatever, so on and so forth. And the point I always beat into their heads is, they don't really care about these groups. This is just whoever's a useful tool at the moment, and as soon as that group is defiant in any way, they're thrown into the rubbish bin as you'd say. And the best example of this is, you know, here we have the center-left parties, the Democrats obviously. There you guys have the Labor Party, but as soon as Labor starts (laughs) being defiant, all of a sudden they're Nazis. And it's just f- uh, a fascinating phenomenon to see, and I think it's just completely transparent how your measure of virtue as a, uh, an interest group is directly correlated to how useful you are to furthering a certain agenda.
