Watch: Matt Taibbi And Walter Kirn Give Epic Speeches Everyone Should Watch
Watch: Matt Taibbi And Walter Kirn Give Epic Speeches Everyone Should Watch
Matt Taibbi and Walter Kirn gave gave must-watch speeches last weekend at the ‘Rescue The Republic’ rally in Washington D.C. – which was organized to promote free speech and the 8 pillars of ‘Join the Resistance.‘
Taibbi torched the establishment, starting with John Kerry – who recently said he wants the First Amendment “hammered out of existence” so the elites can control information.
Taibbi also went full Les Grossman on the ‘anti-disinformation’ dickheads from the censorship industrial complex…
Let me pause to say something about Americaâs current intellectual class, from which the âanti-disinformationâ complex comes. By the way: there are no working-class censors, poor censors, hungry censors. The dirty secret of âcontent moderationâ everywhere is that itâs a tiny sliver of the educated rich correcting everyone else. Itâs telling people what fork to use, but you can get a degree in it. –Matt Taibbi
But while “the Michael Haydens, John Brennans, James Clappers, Mike McFauls and Rick Stengels who make up Americaâs self-appointed behavior police” keep trying to censor, they’re on “a fool’s errand.”
But “Motherfucker, Iâm an American. That shit does not work on me. And how can you impugn my patriotism, when youâre sitting in Klaus Schwabâs lap, apologizing for the First Amendment to a crowd of Europeans? Look in the mirror.”
Watch:
Novelist Walter Kirn also spoke at the event, telling “a little bedtime story” about his childhood in rural Minnesota – “the land of the deplorables,” that can best be summarized by the man himself via Racket News (emphasis ours);
When I was a kid in rural Minnesota, the land of the deplorables in the late sixties and early seventies, my mother had a little record player. The problem was, she only had five records, and all were protest music. Pete Seeger, the Weavers, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul, and Mary. I used to listen to the records, and I had a favorite song. Maybe you know it: âIf I had a Hammer.â
It was very strange that my mother had these records, because she was a young Republican. Anyway, I was eight years old, and I had no idea what this song meant. It seemed to have something to do with being powerless, and dreaming or fantasizing that you had power. If I had a hammer, Iâd hammer out justice. Iâd hammer out freedom all over this land. Iâd hammer out love between the brothers and the sistersâŚ
That was my favorite line, because it was so puzzling. Isnât love between brothers and sisters incest? As I said, I found this song confusing, and the thing that confused me most about the song was: Why didnât the singer have a hammer? What had happened? Whoâd taken it away?
This morning, I was reading Twitter and I was reminded of this song in the most unlikely way. I saw a clip of a discussion at one of those big international conferences that you and I are never invited to, and on this video was John Kerry, former Secretary of State, former Skull and Bonesman, that secret society at Yale â the same secret society that George W. Bush belonged to. The guy who ran against John Kerry for president in 2004: Skull and Bones versus Skull and Bones. Talk about the illusion of choice.
Anyway, what Kerry was talking about was the First Amendment, and how it was a problem. A big, big problem. He had a peculiar complaint about it.
The First Amendment stopped people like him, he said, from trying to âbuild consensus.â Now, thatâs how these people think about themselves, as builders of consensus. What does that make you and me? Weâre construction materials!
John Kerry, master builder, had a complaint. The First Amendment, he said, was a âmajor blockâ for people like him from stopping what he now calls disinformation. It kept him from, he said, âhammering it out of existence.â
Now, Iâm pretty sure that in 1949 when Pete Seeger wrote, âThe Hammer Song,â or âIf I Had a Hammer,â he didnât mean if John Kerry had a hammer. He didnât mean if they had a hammer:
If they had a hammer,
Theyâd hammer out disinformation.
Theyâd hammer out vaccine hesitancy,
All over this land.
Theyâd hammer out Kennedy.
Theyâd hammer Matt TaibbiâŚ.
That is not the song, and John Kerry has it wrong. The hammer does not belong to him.
That hammer belongs to us. Itâs ours. But why donât we have it? Thatâs the mystery.
Thatâs the question Iâve spent a lifetime trying to figure out. Look at this gray hair. Itâs been a lifetime. Why doesnât the singer have a hammer? Why? Why do we have to dream to fantasize? Why do we have to wish we had one?
Well, I think Iâve finally answered it. We have it right in front of us. The question is, will we pick it up? The question is, will we use it? So, I have a request for you. When you go home tonight, when you get home, pick up your hammer. Pick up your hammer and use it. Itâs time to build.
My mother had one other record. It was by Simon and Garfunkel. It also had a song I loved called El Condor Pasa. I think you remember its greatest line: âIâd rather be a hammer than a nail.â
Donât be a nail. Pick up your hammers. Go home. Letâs build a New America.
