00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.360
There are countless movies made in in concert and consultation
2
00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:06.719
with the CIA for many decades. There's a lot of
3
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:08.800
different levels to this, you know. You can look at
4
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:12.000
for example, Ian Fleming himself. The character of Bond was
5
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:14.839
used as a Cold War symbol and as a form
6
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.679
of Cold War propaganda, and so when Fleming was writing
7
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:20.120
his stories, he was basing a lot of the Bond
8
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:23.000
novels on real operations that he had been involved in,
9
00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.960
like Operation a Golden Eye, which was an anti Franco
10
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.359
of anti fascist operation. You have Operation Mincemeat which he
11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:32.560
was involved in, which they've made films based on that.
12
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.960
So YouTube a X it is at Jay Dyer and Caleb.
13
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:37.640
I don't if you're going to throw all three books
14
00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:40.280
up there or just the most recent one. I don't
15
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:42.320
know how Jay has time to do comedy. He's been
16
00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:45.880
writing so many damn books and doing so much work
17
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.479
in his own educational training. Jay, welcome to the program.
18
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:51.520
Thank you, doctor Drew. Glad to be here with you.
19
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.359
I seriously, I don't know how you have time for
20
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:57.880
comedy with all the writing and all the training you've
21
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.000
been doing. But I'm glad you're here doing all of it.
22
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:01.679
Thank you.
23
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.319
Yeah, well, you know, that was not something that I
24
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:07.959
really thought I would end up doing. But I think
25
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:10.159
the way that media works now, you kind of do
26
00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.879
your own thing, and then the more of your personality
27
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:15.519
that comes forth, you just kind of roll with it.
28
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.400
And so I ended up kind of falling.
29
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.920
In line with a lot of the comedian podcasts and
30
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.239
doing shows with them and enjoying it quite a bit.
31
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:24.560
And so I ended up writing for Sam Hi the
32
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:28.200
last year for his show. So it's been a roller
33
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:30.120
coaster ride. It's a lot of fun, but also like
34
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.519
doing you know, the educational stuff. On the other hand
35
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:32.920
as well.
36
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:39.079
Sam is another bright guy, and that is not lightlifting
37
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:43.760
writing for Sam, I assume. But
Load full transcript
let's talk about Sam
38
00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:49.120
is a really smart guy. Let's talk about Hollywood and
39
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.640
the concerns and observations you have as somebody trained in
40
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.000
certain kinds of psychology to how people are manipula. Well,
41
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:02.200
let's talk about that first. Are you worried about as
42
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.439
I am. I'll turn over my cards. The behavior of crowds.
43
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:10.280
I feel like we have been a tendency to mob
44
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.719
action that emerges periodically in history, whether you start with
45
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.240
seventeen ninety France or you know, nineteen thirty two Germany,
46
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:21.680
whatever it is, we're in one again. It feels like
47
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:27.000
and there's lots of true believers flying around engendering chaos.
48
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:29.879
Is this what's happening? Are you concerned about that?
49
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:36.560
Yes? You know, you say chaos, chaos for chaos, and
50
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:40.479
don't you know it's just chaos. Depends on what you mean, though,
51
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:42.319
I couldn't help me.
52
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.759
I thought you were going to go I thought you
53
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.039
were going to go into maximwell smart, so.
54
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:50.960
I had to go straight Jordan Peters. The word chaos
55
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.919
triggers Peterson in my head. But you know, like you
56
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.759
actually I studied the French Revolution pretty in depth as
57
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:59.280
well when I was an undergrad and a professor who
58
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.840
was a specialist in that. And you're right, I think
59
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.719
to make the parallels between mob psychology, which was really
60
00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:11.919
kind of I guess a modern thought getting collated, I
61
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.080
guess you could say, with socialism and communism and Marxism.
62
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.560
But I just covered a book on my channel a
63
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.000
few months ago by a He was an Allied psychologist
64
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:23.560
during the time of World War Two.
65
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.360
His name is Juice Mr.
66
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.599
Lou and he wrote a book about mob psychology many
67
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.360
many decades before, you know, doctor Malone talked about massformation,
68
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.840
psychosis and this kind of stuff, and he said that
69
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.560
he noticed that the socialist movements had really perfected this
70
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.400
technique and quite a few chapters in that book that
71
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:43.879
were applicable to Hollywood and the way Hollywood kind of
72
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:47.879
forms attitudes and creates culture. Culture creationists so that we
73
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:50.599
talk about a lot on my channel, but also kind.
74
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.360
Of predicting what social media would do.
75
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:56.680
And then when you get this sort of melding of fame, internet, fame,
76
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.919
social media with the idea of Hollywood and influencers kind
77
00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:03.000
of being the new A listers and this kind of stuff,
78
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.879
it's a very toxic, dangerous mix. But it's also something
79
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:10.439
that social engineers have studied to perfect in order to
80
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:11.800
kind of control society.
81
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.560
And do you are you seeing evidence of that kind
82
00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.920
of premeditated activity from Hollywood?
83
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.839
Yeah, you know, one of the things that I focused
84
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.800
on in my grad work, and I ended up just
85
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.120
kind of putting that work into more of a popular
86
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.600
readable book rather than something that was you know, academic
87
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.759
that nobody's ever going to read, you know, this master's
88
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:37.759
thesis or anything like that.
89
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.240
It's just going to sit there on a shelf.
90
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.439
I thought, why not take this information and kind of
91
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:44.680
make it accessible and readable. And I think everybody's probably
92
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.879
familiar with the way Hollywood uses product placement. You know,
93
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.079
that's a classic style of getting people to purchase a
94
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:53.639
product because James Bond was associated with it or.
95
00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:54.279
Something like that.
96
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.120
But it gets a little more nefarious as you get
97
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.199
deeper into subliminals. I think everybody's sort of that kind
98
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.199
of stuff. But beyond that, there's also war propaganda. There
99
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.800
are countless movies made in in concert and consultation with
100
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.600
the CIA from many decades. That was something that was
101
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.199
done a long time ago, more on the down low,
102
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.319
from the nineteen forties, even back to the nineteen twenties.
103
00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:19.959
Howard Hughes, you know, he would make war propaganda films.
104
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.920
The OSS would work with Hollywood to make certain screenplays
105
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.160
and films, and even a less actors have been famous spies.
106
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:34.079
All over the place. Yeah, it was in those films, exactly. Absolutely.
107
00:05:34.480 -->
00:05:38.399
Jimmy Stewart was an FBI produced movies. You have people
108
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.000
like Julia Child, the famous chef TV chef. She was
109
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.199
actually an OSS operative, which people don't know that before
110
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.879
she was a chef. But yeah, well you know, in
111
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.120
the third book, actually it did a whole chapter just
112
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:54.360
on this because it was so fascinating to see all
113
00:05:54.399 --> 00:05:57.079
these people that people didn't know about. Sterling Hayden. He
114
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.759
was an operative for the OSS. John Ford made films
115
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:02.800
in concert with the OSS. And then as you get
116
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.120
up into the seventies and eighties, same thing going on there,
117
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.399
even to the point of, you know, Ben Affleck recently
118
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.959
was touting the CIA and how glad he was to
119
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.759
work with him to make films like Argo. You have
120
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.040
films like Zero Dark thirty all being made openly with
121
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.759
the CIA. So what used to be kind of a secretive,
122
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.680
you know, behind closed doors things, is now kind of an.
123
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.399
Open ster hates Sterly holloways Wennie the Pooh, who was
124
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:29.319
Sterly Hayden.
125
00:06:30.639 --> 00:06:32.199
Well, he was one of the A listers back in
126
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:36.360
the forties, very very prominent, kind of you know up
127
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.439
there with like Humphrey Boguard and Cary Grant and Carry Grant.
128
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:40.759
By the way, it was a spy too, he would
129
00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:42.399
he would spy for us.
130
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.920
So I want to I want to I want to
131
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.759
push back a little bit and say because I've been
132
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.160
around all this stuff too for a long time, and
133
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:56.600
whenever somebody's producing anything for media consumption, they just they
134
00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.480
they get kind of captured by what works. They kind
135
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.839
of ab tests a lot, and then what works, they
136
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:06.079
go and they launch into it, and then they builds momentum.
137
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.439
So it's rarely, in my experience, premeditated. And the same
138
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:13.800
thing with the CIA involvement. They get the CIA in
139
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.120
and the FBI and and the military and to tell
140
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:17.759
us how it really happens, to give us the dal
141
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:20.279
we want this to be authentic, and then they don't
142
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.079
understand that with that authenticity comes a bunch of subliminal
143
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.720
messages that the CIA make sure they put into their films.
144
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.800
So in a way, they're just useful idiots.
145
00:07:32.519 --> 00:07:35.759
Yeah, I mean, I don't want to be overly, you know, simplistic,
146
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:38.279
as if it's all or nothing, as if everyone's part
147
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:40.879
of a grand conspiracy. I certainly don't believe that. I
148
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:43.439
think there's a lot of different levels to this. But
149
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.519
you know, there's a lot of things on record that
150
00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:48.959
have come out, things that were declassified the National Archives,
151
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.439
things like that that I've covered in the third book.
152
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:53.720
But you know, you can look at, for example, Ian
153
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.000
Fleming himself. What I focused on in my grad work
154
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:00.000
was the way that the character of Bond was used
155
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:02.720
as a Cold War symbol and as a form of
156
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:06.680
Cold War propaganda. And so when Fleming was writing his stories,
157
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:09.079
he was basing a lot of the Bond novels on
158
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:11.839
real operations that he had been involved in, like Operation
159
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:15.879
a Golden Eye, which was an anti Franco of anti
160
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:20.000
fascist operation. You have Operation Mincemeat which he was involved in,
161
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:22.680
which they've made films based on that. So there's different
162
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.240
levels to this, but there's also that level of propaganda
163
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.000
which I think most people can kind of connect with,
164
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:28.120
and a lot of times.
165
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:29.399
That's the big blockbusters.
166
00:08:29.639 --> 00:08:33.720
Usually blockbusters have a decent amount of propaganda inserted into them,
167
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.399
but like you said, you know, it's not every director
168
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.919
or every person being you know in some some kind
169
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:41.559
of agent or something like that, and so I think.
170
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:43.159
It's more sparse than that.
171
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:47.480
But you know, Edward Burneese said that Hollywood is the
172
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:50.200
greatest engine of propaganda the world has ever seen, and
173
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.000
he put that in his famous book Propaganda. So they've
174
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.000
known this for a long time, and it's just a
175
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.759
tool that I think has been utilized and are often,
176
00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.960
but it's not, you know, something that always is making
177
00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:04.000
everybody an agent
or something.
178
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:08.600
No, listen, you look no further than how COVID. You
179
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.159
know how the news media and the various outlets were
180
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.120
used during COVID, and then then they marched on into
181
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.879
the social media world and tried to manipulate that and
182
00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.240
now this, thank god, some pushback, but it's it all
183
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.799
seems like business as usual to me. And they get
184
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:29.799
compliance by various meats, paying people off, mustling them, you know,
185
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:32.879
sort of inserting stuff, you know, without their knowledge into it.
186
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:36.480
But it be that as it may. I want I
187
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:40.200
want to ask two things, what are the differences amongst
188
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:42.679
the three books? Why did you need to write three?
189
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:44.720
And what am I going to learn from each? And
190
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:46.759
then I want to go back to the Juice Borloo
191
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:49.600
and the Madness of Crowds. So let's talk about your
192
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:50.159
books first.
193
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:52.240
Yeah, thank you.
194
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:55.919
So the first book was something that came about that
195
00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:57.320
I didn't expect it to be a book.
196
00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.559
So I've been writing a lot of essays and.
197
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.919
Excuse me, treatments of film from a more of an
198
00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:07.639
academic perspective, or if you take a college class. You'll
199
00:10:07.840 --> 00:10:10.519
you'll do what's called a close reading, where you kind
200
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.840
of read Dostievsky or somebody like that at different levels
201
00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.879
and try to decode it and pick out the symbolism
202
00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.679
and the meaning. And so I sort of started writing
203
00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.639
movie analyses in the same way. Eventually a publisher reached
204
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.639
out and said, hey, you should do it. You should
205
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:28.600
do a book with the style of analysis that you do.
206
00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:31.519
That's really the first one, which mainly focused on the
207
00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.799
big director, So I focused on Kubrick. I focused on Hitchcock, Spielberg,
208
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.200
a lot of the big names and their blockbusters and.
209
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.559
What was good and what was bad. It's not all
210
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:42.240
a critique.
211
00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:45.080
It's just sort of an analysis of the way that
212
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.799
symbols are used in film to program us, both on
213
00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:50.720
a conscious and in a subconscious level.
214
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:52.159
So it's a lot of different things.
215
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.080
There's you know, Carl Jung style union analysis comes into
216
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:59.039
it at times, propaganda, the history behind this or that film,
217
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.720
and relationship to Ucia consultation or whatever.
218
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:03.399
So it's a lot of different things.
219
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.399
The second film focused thematically on different topics within a
220
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.240
bunch of different films. So I talked about the relationship
221
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.080
of Hollywood to organize crime, what's real and what's not
222
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.000
real between various mob movies, and how you know, we
223
00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:20.320
kind of were sold the picture of the villain being
224
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.600
the good guy through a lot of mafia movies, and
225
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:25.080
so now we kind of look to the you know,
226
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.000
Tony Soprano is the good guy, and that kind of
227
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.200
stuff's a lot of inversion when it comes to morals
228
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:33.519
and ethics. And then in the third book, because I'd
229
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.759
had so many people say over the years, hey, you
230
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:38.200
never did this movie. You never did Christopher Nolan movies,
231
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:39.519
you never did Marvel movies.
232
00:11:39.919 --> 00:11:41.519
I'm not a huge Marvel fan.
233
00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:44.679
But I decided that, well, they're the biggest blockbusters the
234
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.480
last twenty years. So if I say the blockbusters are
235
00:11:47.480 --> 00:11:49.440
a lot of propaganda, I guess I should cover them.
236
00:11:49.480 --> 00:11:53.559
So first eighty pages is Christopher Nolan and Union archetypes
237
00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:57.879
and Marvel analysis. I have a really extensive sixty page,
238
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.240
seventy page critique of feminist some in Hollywood and how
239
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:04.759
there's a sort of a presentation that women are all
240
00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:07.399
now supposed to be what men typically are, which I
241
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:13.679
think is kind of an intentional, subversive, subversive approach to storytelling.
242
00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:16.720
And then I get into fun stuff. There's comedic stuff.
243
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.519
There's b movies that we cover that I thought were
244
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:21.200
kind of funny. And then I get into relationship between
245
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:25.679
CIA in Hollywood and how Hollywood is presented in times
246
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.639
in apocalypse films, which I think is fascinating because Hollywood's
247
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:32.159
kind of dying. It's on its own little apocalypse, and
248
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:35.840
then it's turning into this other thing of influencers and
249
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:40.080
you know game basically gaming is kind of taking over unfortunately.
250
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:50.639
But yeah, so lightlifting, like decoding Dostyevsky. So's there sounds
251
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.000
sounds mind evangel just I just trying to read Dostoevsky's
252
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:55.600
and penetrate it as hard enough.
253
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.840
So well, it's not that hard. Fascinating example, I just
254
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:03.440
thought of an example. It's not as bad as.
255
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:06.080
Suf It's not that hard, well.
256
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:08.960
At all, challenge.
257
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.799
Yeah, but it all sounds very fascinating and worth. I mean,
258
00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.759
it's sort of historically significant. I'm glad you're putting it
259
00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:20.639
down for the record because when people do look back
260
00:13:20.679 --> 00:13:23.720
at this time, film is one of these things that
261
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:25.559
is you know, I look at it all as just
262
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.799
these technologies that come along, and you know, but before
263
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.399
there was stage and then stage lights, and then there
264
00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:36.279
were then there was amplification, and then this celluloid thing
265
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.559
comes along, and then this television thing comes along, and
266
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:44.080
then vinyl records, and these are all technologies that get
267
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:50.440
exploited in massive ways by people that produce content for
268
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:55.000
these things. What I find really interesting is they always
269
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.759
tend to go towards it's it's sort of performers that
270
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.759
kind of use it, uh to it to put their
271
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:05.799
material out far and wide, and then it gets hidden
272
00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:10.200
or sort of protected under the sheath of art. It's art,
273
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.240
don't you understand? It's art, But it really to me
274
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.960
just looks like, yeah, there's artists involved, but it's it's
275
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.919
a commercial enterprise to taking advantage of a new technology,
276
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.200
and then the computer and then the social media and
277
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:22.720
here we are down the road.
278
00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:25.039
Yeah.
279
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.399
I think the artists are kind of like products, uh
280
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.200
and they do, you know, sell what's on.
281
00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:36.639
My bed, but but they hide behind it. Oh, something's
282
00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:39.799
in your bed and somebody says something on there, so
283
00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:41.000
so I don't know, I don't
see.
284
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:45.679
It out on the bed. It's a dead body back there,
285
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:47.120
so I guess.
286
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:49.240
Yeah, it's it's uh we'll put you on the Travel
287
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.799
channel as some sort of phantom flying around. I can't
288
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.399
quite see it. Oh good, all right? Uh and and
289
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.840
but I I really think they they use art as
290
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:02.720
a as a veil to do whatever they want to do.
291
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:05.279
So you can't you can't. You know, it's it's it's
292
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.120
I'm creating art. It's pretty art. You can't criticize it,
293
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:12.000
all right, you don't understand. No, they're creating a commercial enterprise.
294
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:16.399
But let me go back to Juice More Loop because
295
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:19.120
I I, and I'm sure you're aware of there's a
296
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:23.960
there's a elaborate sort of cartoon online that goes through
297
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:28.279
all of Juice More Lou's theories. Right, you've seen that?
298
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.080
Have you seen that?
299
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:33.000
No, it's very good, it's very good. Yeah.
300
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.519
Oh well, well, there's somebody that did a whole sort
301
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:40.080
of it's not really juicemr Loo for dummies, but it
302
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:43.120
is sort of that, and it has a whole visual
303
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:45.559
attached to it if somebody sort of sketching things out
304
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.559
as his theories are presented. It's very good. It's very good.
305
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:50.879
I recommend it. Just look up go to YouTube, look
306
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.720
up Juice mor Loop. But it sent me I guess
307
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.399
I was. I already had read Extraordinary Popular Delusions and
308
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.960
the Madness of Crowds. It sent me back to read
309
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.120
Lebon's The Crowd again, and then I got downstream to
310
00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:09.159
a book called The True Believer, which I find is
311
00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:12.440
one of the most fascinating because I think, I think
312
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.279
you'll agree with me that these mass formations or whatever
313
00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:17.279
you want to call them, have about ten or twenty
314
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.600
percent of the crowd that is true believer. They're they're
315
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.080
really bought into this stuff, and they're the ones that
316
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.279
propagate some of these things. And this I think the
317
00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:28.759
guy was like a it's like an engineer or something.
318
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:31.440
He was not trained in psychology, was not trained in anything.
319
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.559
He just wrote down his observations of the behavior of crowds.
320
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:37.519
And man, I think he just nails The True Believer.
321
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:39.519
He just nails it and nails it and nails it.
322
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.679
I recommend it most highly. I've read it like three
323
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:46.159
times now. But what are your thoughts on this this
324
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:49.200
construct and why is it coming up again? And you know,
325
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.799
why did why did the left grab on to it
326
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.240
so hard? Since the Jacobins give me your thoughts.
327
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.039
Yeah, I think that it's been perfected from the vantage
328
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:03.200
point of social engineering and you know, steering and controlling
329
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.400
the crowd. And this is again what Walter Lippmann wrote
330
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:09.160
about when he talked about public opinion.
331
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:10.880
Coming out of the Tavistock Institute.
332
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.720
He figured out that you could really steer the masses
333
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:16.920
by giving them the impression that, well, if you're not
334
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:20.599
in with the end group with the high percentage of well,
335
00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.160
the majority of the public supports the war, you don't
336
00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:24.839
want to be seen as an outsider. So they were
337
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:27.200
really figuring this stuff out back in the nineteen twenties,
338
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:30.960
and then they perfected that technique with what we have today.
339
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.319
And of course, you know, after the koof as I
340
00:17:33.359 --> 00:17:35.720
call it, from twenty to twenty to twenty twenty two,
341
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:42.200
they were using, as Harvard admitted, Harvard style psychological warfare techniques.
342
00:17:42.200 --> 00:17:44.839
The Canadian government admitted they were using psyops to really
343
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:48.640
get everybody on board with the mass formation psychosis. So
344
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:51.720
I think that they've applied these techniques to the way
345
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:55.240
that a listers and celebrities had that type of power,
346
00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.079
you know, decades ago, and now it's the influencer. Now
347
00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.720
it's the you know, the social media person that's taking
348
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.839
that role on and I think we've seen a lot
349
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:07.839
of phony, fake you know, the social media people that
350
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.839
push whatever the establishment wants. Sometimes these people are boosting
351
00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:13.920
in the algorithm. So that's where we are now. Is
352
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:17.319
just the new instantiation of the same tricks and tactics.
353
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.200
What's the antidote? What do we have to do here?
354
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:23.880
I feel like raising awareness of it, calling it out,
355
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:27.559
mocking it work small is better than anything. What do
356
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:32.160
we do comedy or into comedy now? Maybe maybe more imitations,
357
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:35.519
more and more impersonations. We just a love life?
358
00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:38.920
Is this Doctor Drew and the love line just probably
359
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.720
the best, probably the best love line on right now.
360
00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:44.440
We're going to make sex great again, Doctor Drew, You
361
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.200
and I together probably going to make it great probably.
362
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:49.200
Yeah.
363
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.839
I mean, I think ridicule is a really powerful tool
364
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.319
for mocking these types of things.
365
00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:57.440
You know, when you go back to.
366
00:18:57.240 --> 00:18:59.640
Ten years ago, one of the reasons that they really
367
00:18:59.640 --> 00:19:02.079
had to institute a lot of the censorship online was
368
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:07.599
that the left was becoming so sensitive when when they
369
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:09.240
were being made fun of that they just had to
370
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.319
shut down memes, They had to shut down anything that
371
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:16.359
was perceived as mocking them because it's quote hurtful. Of course,
372
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:20.039
again that's very subjective in terms of what's hurtful in
373
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.079
regard to free speech, and there's already laws in place
374
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.240
for that, so they had to really I think clamp down.
375
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.480
We saw that as well with the COVID mandates and
376
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.440
doctor doctor Fauci. It's all gunstantly getting. You know, could
377
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:37.720
take to I am sayad sayatzayats.
378
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:39.440
And then everybody just made fun of Fauci. There was
379
00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:41.240
a remember when they said that he was the sexiest
380
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:41.799
man alive.
381
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.559
I mean, it's like what he's like Actually, they.
382
00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:47.119
Were putting out a poll He's the sexiest man alive,
383
00:19:47.119 --> 00:19:50.240
and it's like people just made fun of this, and uh,
384
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:54.640
I think that was a huge, you know, blow to
385
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.799
the system. And so that was also why they needed
386
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.119
the you know, Twitter files collusion between government and in
387
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:02.480
big tech to shut this stuff down because they know
388
00:20:02.519 --> 00:20:04.799
the comedians are the tip of the spear when it
389
00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:07.920
comes to moving the Overton window back towards rationality.
390
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:11.920
Well, they were absent during COVID. That was that was
391
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:13.319
one of the things I kept saying. If you're looking
392
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:14.920
at old the streams around, I was like, where are
393
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:20.839
the comedians. What happened here? Corolla never sin Yeah, I know.
394
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:23.079
I Corolla kept saying, you're a bunch of postings, You're
395
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:25.200
a bunch of shoot what are you doing? If we stopped,
396
00:20:25.359 --> 00:20:28.279
we stop following you, this thing would end tomorrow. Uh.
397
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.519
And he's been the same ever since and was the
398
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.759
same before, trust me. But it's very interesting, and we
399
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.920
live in a time where we have to, you know,
400
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:42.920
because persuasion works, even when you know somebody is hypnotizing
401
00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:45.599
you or persuading you or brainwashing you. We have to
402
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:49.079
come up with techniques to kind of, you know, tie
403
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.079
ourselves to the mast. We literally have to tie ourselves
404
00:20:52.119 --> 00:20:53.599
to the mast, and we have to tie a bunch
405
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.920
of people there with us so we are not taken
406
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.039
by the sirens song. And I agree, I think mockery
407
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:00.559
is one of the antidotes, but we got to come
408
00:21:00.599 --> 00:21:01.400
up with a bunch of others.
409
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:03.440
Absolutely.
410
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:09.440
I mean, I think just presenting you know, logical refutations
411
00:21:09.480 --> 00:21:10.960
and critiques, which is something.
412
00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.119
That we're big on on my channel.
413
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:13.920
You know, we do a lot of debate, reviews, do
414
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:17.079
a lot of analysis, and that has a lot of effect.
415
00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:19.799
I think it's very powerful with people who haven't lost
416
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.359
their mind, who are still rational, who are still sensible.
417
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:27.039
So we really push learning basic logical fallacies to recognize
418
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.279
when you're being propagandized, when the left is giving you
419
00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:31.039
bad arguments.
420
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.720
It's great if we can just get that seventy percent
421
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:38.839
in the middle. There up up to speed to be amazing. Well, listen,
422
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:40.839
I appreciate what you're doing. I love talking with you.
423
