Summary of Podcast Episode
In this podcast episode, the host welcomes actor Nick Siercie and discusses his long career in Hollywood, the aversion to conservatives in the industry, and his role in the movie 'Police State'. Nick explains that many actors adopt liberal politics as a way to ensure job opportunities, and their empathy as actors may not always translate into analytical thought. He also reveals that there are a significant number of conservative actors in Hollywood who are afraid to speak out due to fear of losing work. The movie 'Police State' is highlighted as a significant project that sheds light on the dangers of an emerging police state in the country, with the left allying with the government to protect each other. The podcast host also reflects on the moral arc of history and questions whether we are truly evolving towards a more civilized society. The host emphasizes the importance of the movie and urges listeners to watch it to understand the real fears and problems faced by ordinary Americans due to an emerging police state.
Concerns about moral arc of history and the rise of terrorism
The podcast episode raises concerns about the belief in a moral arc of history and questions whether it bends towards the right. The speaker expresses struggle with this belief, citing instances of terrorism and acts of violence. Pointing to the actions and rhetoric of certain politicians, like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, who are accused of promoting terrorism, the speaker questions if there is a divine power within people or if there is only a savage inspiration. The speaker emphasizes the need for those who believe in the divine power to counteract the spread of violent ideologies through information warfare.
The push for gun control and the concept of a police state
The podcast episode also discusses the push for gun control and its potential link to a police state. The speaker acknowledges that tyrants prefer a disarmed population, but also suggests a sociological and psychological component to disarming citizens. It is argued that the left wants people to be dependent on the government for their personal security, creating a need for a police state. Additionally, the Second Amendment is mentioned as a defense against tyranny, highlighting the importance of an armed citizenry. This discussion ties into the film 'Police State' and the current efforts to disarm the American populace.
