Just three days ago‚ the Golden Globes aired on national television. When watching such a spectacle‚ it’s easy to focus on the awards given and the lavish attire worn by the stars. But this year‚ Piers Morgan and Jordan Peterson noticed something else. Dave Rubin plays the clip of the two discussing the event. “I watched the whole thing for three hours‚” Morgan told Peterson. “No political speeches‚ no virtue-signaling‚ no grandstanding. People basically did what Ricky Gervais told them to do three years ago‚ which is get up‚ thank your agent‚ and sit down and just celebrate making movies or TV shows.” “I felt that there is a movement going on now of a real backlash‚” he explained. “Even Hollywood has woken up to the reality that people who watch the movies and TV shows‚ they don't want to hear this stuff all the time.” “Well‚ we put politics first and foremost‚” added Peterson. “The mistake that entertainers make is that they regard what they do as mere entertainment. Hollywood stars and all the people who were involved in producing the narratives that entice and and compel us‚ they’re serving a master who's far higher than anything merely political‚ and when they bend their art to serve a political master‚ they distort the higher to the lower to their own detriment.” “The art should never be subordinated to serve the political because then‚ not only does it get propagandistic‚ it gets dull and contemptible. No one cares what a star thinks about Trump‚” he explained. “So Jordan's point is that art should be made for art's sake‚” explains Dave. “A beautiful painting should be beautiful because of what it brings out in you – that actually is divine and important‚ but once that becomes subservient to a political agenda‚ you get these hysterical people that are so incredibly self-righteous that they think because they can pretend to be an astronaut in a movie‚ they can also tell you how to live your life.”Want more from Dave Rubin?To enjoy more honest conversations‚ free speech‚ and big ideas with Dave Rubin‚ subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution‚ and live the American dream.

A new study that compiled White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's answers regarding Biden-related scandals found she had refused to give a concrete response for 98% of the questions in 2023.The study‚ compiled by the right-wing Media Research Center‚ examined White House transcripts regarding major scandals faced by President Biden.These included questions related to the alleged mishandling of classified documents by then-Vice President Biden‚ where documents were found in his garage and in libraries. It also included corruption allegations against the Biden family for their business dealings in China and Ukraine‚ as well as the mystery of the bag of cocaine found in the White House's West Wing.Out of 337 questions from reporters related to Biden scandals‚ Jean-Pierre provided a concrete answer to only eight. This equates to giving a substantive answer just 2.37% of the time.According to the Daily Mail‚ to have answered "concretely" meant that the response had to have either directly answered the question‚ clarified an ambiguity or provide new information‚ or even correctly given a "yes" or "no" answer.By category‚ the press secretary answered anywhere between 0% and 3.4% of questions.Out of 87 questions related to Biden family corruption‚ the administration's head communicator gave just three "substantive answers‚" or 3.44%.The possible mishandling of documents was the most popular scandal for reporters to ask about; 220 total questions were asked of Jean-Pierre‚ to which she "concretely answered" just five times‚ or 2.27%.In terms of questions regarding the mysterious and apparently untraceable bag of cocaine found in the West Wing in July 2023‚ reporters asked about the scandal 30 times. During the 12-day cycle of the story from July 5 to July 17‚ 2023‚ Jean-Pierre did not give a "concrete response" to any of the questions‚ representing 0.0%.Jean-Pierre was subject to a similar study halfway through 2023‚ which yielded similar results. At that time‚ the study noted that of 252 questions between January 2023 and the end of June 2023‚ Jean-Pierre gave a definitive answer just six times‚ leaving her again with an answer rate of just 2%.This included 217 questions about classified documents and 35 questions about Hunter Biden's business deals. Five questions were directly answered about the documents‚ leaving room for just one definitive answer about the president's son.Like Blaze News?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez received enthusiastic applause during a recent appearance on “The Daily Show” after announcing her intention to solve the border crisis‚ not with some ridiculous solution like building a wall‚ but by granting documentation to every illegal immigrant in America. At this point‚ “The Daily Show” audience must consist of 20 people with a median IQ lower than the average temperature in Montana in January‚ but the New York congresswoman’s solution seems to be conventional wisdom among most liberals now.Establishment Democrats know they at least need to pay lip service to the idea of border security‚ but incompetent and entitled climbers like Ocasio-Cortez feel no compulsion to hide the ball. Progressives are using illegal immigration as a political weapon to destroy their opposition and transform the United States. The “border crisis” is not a crisis at all. It is a political offensive unfolding exactly as progressives intended.Illegal immigration is not a problem for Democrats to solve but a weapon with which they can dismantle the opposition and secure a permanent electoral advantage. There was a time when the left pretended to care about the working class. It was well understood that immigration was a tool that big business could use to undermine organized labor and drive down wages. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) used to refer to open borders as a “Koch brothers proposal” that would make every American poorer. He was right. Americans who are forced to compete with foreign labor not only see their opportunities dwindle and their earnings fall but must also contend with the flood of new consumers in every other economic market. Immigration drives up the cost of housing‚ health care‚ and education‚ particularly in the working-class neighborhoods where these new laborers tend to settle. Open borders also encourage drug crime‚ gang violence‚ and human trafficking that disproportionately impact the communities Democrats claim to protect. But none of this matters to the modern left because illegal immigration is too valuable as a weapon against its enemies.The Democrats may be big fans of cultural Marxism‚ but they have left their pretensions of fighting big business behind. The left is rather pleased with the way that large corporations zealously enforce progressive social dogmas in return for cheap labor and regulatory capture. Woke capital has discovered that using government regulations to eliminate its opposition is far more advantageous than competing in any kind of free market‚ so it sides with the party that will keep labor costs low and smaller companies buried in red tape. Democrats also discovered that the tendency of large corporations to erode communities helps to facilitate the growth of government and remove opposition to the progressive domination of social institutions.When the government attempts to consolidate power‚ its two major barriers are regional autonomy and loyalty to competing social institutions. People with a strong sense of community and identity tend to rely heavily on their families‚ friends‚ churches‚ and civic organizations — not the government. For the state to grow‚ it must take over tasks like education or care for the elderly from these competing social organizations. Communities can stay loyal to their previous traditions and values by relying on their shared institutions‚ but individuals deprived of these support systems must bend the knee to the state.A strong middle class population with the ability to own their own businesses and homes can also resist the dictates of politicians who enforce their policies through large employers and the financial instability created by renting and wage labor. These financially secure families also have a nasty habit of building the kind of generational wealth that funds those churches and community organizations that contend with the government for loyalty. A government that is looking to consolidate power and regularly impose its will on the populace needs to find a way to dismantle its independent middle class while ensuring the support of a more dependent and less established population.High-low versus middle is a classic political strategy used by rulers who need to remove the resistance that comes from an established population. Victory in politics comes from rewarding your friends and punishing your enemies‚ and if you can reward your friends by punishing your enemies‚ so much the better.By importing a dependent client class of cheap laborers‚ the left ensures the support of powerful corporations while undermining the stability of established American communities. As the independent retailer gives way to Walmart and Amazon‚ the competing social organizations that once helped communities resist the advance of government power dry up and fade away. Taxes and regulations eventually drain the remaining wealth out of the kulaks‚ which can then be redistributed through government programs to the dependent newcomers‚ who are now deeply in thrall to a leviathan government they cannot hope to oppose. This effect is only compounded in a democracy‚ where the generational electoral advantage secured by the side that imported the new dependent class is overwhelming.The left is more than happy to change its positions on labor‚ the working class‚ big business‚ and open borders if that means securing power and advancing a progressive social agenda forever. Illegal immigration is not a problem for Democrats to solve but a weapon with which they can dismantle the opposition and secure a permanent electoral advantage. The GOP has consistently proven itself incapable of taking meaningful action to stop this process. One can debate whether to attribute that failure to incompetence or malice‚ but what cannot be debated is that the right is running out of time to solve a problem that could permanently end its ability to resist the relentless march of the progressive total state.

Why is this happening?'" Gragson reportedly said. The 25-year-old recalled that his friend said "'I'm going to tell you this because you're like a little brother to me‚ but it's time you grow up and it's time you take accountability and you allow yourself to take this opportunity to work on yourself and self reflect.'"Gragson told the outlet that he had worked on self-improvement over a span of five months‚ which included NASCAR's diversity training along with seeking professional help from a psychologist. The Nevada native stated his eyes were opened "to the world‚" and he realized he was "a pretty selfish guy.""I've learned to pay more attention‚ be more present‚ enjoy the people I'm with. This has really been a rude awakening of all the work I needed to do on myself." None — (@) NASCAR announced that Gragson will race full-time for the Stewart-Haas team‚ starting in the 2024 season.The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series begins with its first race on February 4‚ 2024.Like Blaze News?

New Hampshire Republican Attorney General John Formella recently sent a cease-and-desist order to the Democratic National Committee‚ WBTS reported.Formella accused the DNC of making "false‚ deceptive‚ and misleading" comments regarding the state's presidential primary election. In the AG's order‚ he referred to a letter the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee sent to New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Ray Buckley‚ instructing Democrats to "educate the public" that the state's election is "meaningless."DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee co-chairs Minyon Moore and James Roosevelt Jr. wrote in the letter‚ "The [New Hampshire Democratic Party] must take steps to educate the public that January 23rd is a non-binding presidential preference event and is meaningless and the NHDP and presidential candidates should take all steps possible not to participate."Last year‚ the DNC passed a new early presidential primary calendar for 2024‚ which President Biden supported. The DNC's updated calendar sought to make South Carolina the first state to kick off the election on February 3. New Hampshire refused to comply with the changes‚ setting its primary date on January 23.The Monday cease-and-desist order accused the DNC's comments of violating the state's voter suppression laws. "Your January 5‚ 2024‚ letter admits that the RBC previously commanded NHDP to 'educate the public' that a New Hampshire election‚ scheduled and held in accordance with New Hampshire law‚ was 'meaningless.' Regardless of whether the DNC refuses to award delegates to the party's national convention based on the results of the January 24‚ 2024‚ New Hampshire democratic Presidential Primary Election‚ that election is not 'meaningless.' Your statements to the contrary are false‚ deceptive‚ and misleading‚" Assistant Attorney General Brendan O'Donnell wrote. The AG's office accused the DNC's comments of attempting to "prevent or deter" residents from voting."This matter remains open‚ and this Office reserves the right to take further enforcement action based on the actions described in this letter and any other actions that violate State election laws‚" the letter concluded.Buckley responded to the order Monday‚ stating‚ "Well‚ it's safe to say in New Hampshire‚ the DNC is less popular than the NY Yankees.""State law requires the New Hampshire Secretary of State to conduct the first-in-the-nation primary and he is going to follow the law — period. Nothing has changed‚ and we look forward to seeing a great Democratic voter turnout on January 23rd‚" Buckley added.Like Blaze News?
