Description
Last week I had Matt Erickson of the Kingpilled podcast on the show to talk about the PayPal Mafia. We’re closing in on two months to election day, and I wanted to get him on to chat about some of the influential groups behind the scenes and what he sees coming for the rest of the year. Matt’s worth a follow, and you can find him on YouTube and Twitter. Podcast Summary * We go down the PayPal Mafia rabbit hole, talking about the influence of figures like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. * We discussed the Boomer Truth Regime, generational differences, and the parallels between the Boomer and Millennial generations, and the parallels between the Gen X and Zoomer generations. * JD Vance being the first millennial politician on a presidential ticket, and the idea that he’s a life insurance policy for Trump. * Elon Musk and the influence Twitter has on shifting the Overton window. * America as an economic zone instead of a country, and the plan to bring manufacturing back to the country. * The Trump Assassination attempt and how different events end up getting memory holed. * Illegal immigration, mass deportations, and the importance of local governance. * The Birth of the American Empire and where the country might be headed over the next 50 to 100 years. * Book Recommendation: The Brothers: John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War by Stephen Kinzer. * We also talked briefly about the recent Tucker Carlson Interview of Geoff Shepard on Watergate and Richard Nixon.
