[@jennapecor1865]

This was a brilliant speech. Good for you.

[@tracyclark534]

great speech, you hit it out of the park. your ending paragraph was the whole thing in a nutshell why won't the politicians in power listen to, respect, and work for the ordinary person!

[@mistressfreezepeach]

Here is the speech reflowed into paragraphs with proper punctuation: Populism is not a threat to democracy. Populism is democracy. I now look to Mr. Winston Marshall to close the case for the [Applause] opposition. Ladies and gentlemen, words have a tendency to change meaning. When I was a boy, "woman" meant someone who didn't have a populism has become a word used synonymously with "racists," "ethnonationalist," "bigot," "hillbilly," "redneck," and "deplorables." Elites use it to show their contempt for ordinary people. This is a recent change. Not long ago, Barack Obama, while still president at the North America's Leaders Summit in June 2016, he took umbrage with the notion that Trump be called a populist. How could Trump be called a populist? He doesn't care about working people. If anything, Obama argued, he was the populist. If anything, Obama argued, Bernie was the populist. It was Bernie who spent five decades fighting for working people. But Trump, something curious happens if you watch Obama's speeches after that point. More and more recently, he uses the word "populist" interchangeably with "strong man" and "authoritarian." The word changes meaning. It becomes a negative, a pejorative, a slur. To me, populism is not a dirty word. Since the 2008 crash and specifically the trillion-dollar Wall Street bailout, we are in the populist age, and for good reason. The elites have failed. Let me address some common fallacies, some of which have been made tonight. If the motion was that demagoguery was a threat to democracy, I would be on that side of the house. If the motion was that political violence was a threat to democracy, I'd be on that side of the house. January 6 has been mentioned, a dark day for America indeed. And I'm sure Congresswoman Pelosi will agree that the entire month of June 2020, when the federal courthouse in Portland, Oregon, was under siege and under Insurrection by radical progressives, those too were dark days for America. [Applause] Not there is no equivalence, so you don't agree. That's fine. You don't agree, but you'll condemn those days. My point, though, is that all political movements are susceptible to violence and indeed Insurrection. And if we were arguing that fascism was a threat to democracy, I'd be on that side of the house. Indeed, the current populist age is a movement against fascism. I've got quite a lot to get through. Populism, as you know, is the politics of the ordinary people against an elite. Populism is not a threat to democracy. Populism is democracy. And why else have universal suffrage if not to keep Elites in check? Ladies and gentlemen, given the success of Trump and more recently Javier Milei taking a chainsaw to the state Behemoth of Argentina's bureaucratic uh EMP uh monster, you'd be mistaken for thinking this was a right-wing populist age. But that would be ignoring Occupy Wall Street, that would be ignoring Jeremy Corbyn's "for the many, not the few," that would be ignoring Bernie against the billionaires, JFK, sorry, RFK Jr. against big farmer, and more recently, George Galloway against his better judgment. Now, all of them, all of them, including Galloway, recognize genuine concerns of ordinary people being otherwise ignored by The Establishment. I'm actually rather surprised that our esteemed opposition, Congresswoman Pelosi, was on that side of the motion. I thought the left was supposed to be anti-elite. I thought the left was supposed to be anti-establishment. Today, particularly in America, the globalist left have become the establishment. I suppose for Miss Poy to have taken this side of the motion, she'd be arguing herself out of a job. But it's here in Britain where right and left populists united for the Supreme Act of democracy, Brexit. Polls have shown the number one reason people voted for Brexit was sovereignty, for more democracy. What was the response of the Brussels Elite? They did everything in their power to undermine the Democratic will of the British people. And the Westminster elite were just as disgraceful. As we've heard, David Cameron called the voters "fruit cakes," "loonies," and "closet racists." The liberal Democrats did everything they could to overturn a democratic vote. They campaigned for a second referendum. Elites would have us voting and voting and voting until we voted their way. Indeed, that's what happened in Ireland and in Denmark. Let's look at some of the other populist movements. The Hong konger populist Revolt is literally called the pro-democracy movement. The farmer revolts from Netherlands to Germany, France, Greece to Sri Lanka, farmers have taken their tractors to the road to protest ESG policy that's floated down to us from those all-knowing, infallible Elites of Davos. The trucker movement in Canada became anti-elitist when Petty Tyrant prime minister Justin Trudeau froze their bank accounts, not the behavior of a democratic head of state. The Gilets Jaunes in France, the Uyghurs in London, working people protesting policy that hurt them, and how are they treated? They're called conspiracy theorists. They're called far right by the mayor as well. Ladies and gentlemen, populism is the voice of the voiceless. The real threat to democracy is from the elites. Now, don't get me wrong, we need Elites. If President Biden has shown us anything, we need someone to run the countries when the president has severe dementia. It's not just America that crumbles; the whole world Burns. But let's examine the elites. European corporations spend over 1 billion EUR a year lobbying Brussels. US corporations spend over $2 billion a year lobbying in DC. Two-thirds of Congress receive funding from pharmaceutical companies. Pfizer alone spent $1 million in 2021. They made over $10 billion in profit. No wonder, then, that 66% of Americans think the economy is rigged against them for the rich and the powerful. And by the way, we used to have a word for when Big Business and big government were in cahoots, and I think any students here of early 20th century Italian History know what I'm talking about. What about big Tech? Throughout the pandemic, Biden's team, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security colluded with big Tech in censoring dissenting voices, not kooky conspiracy theorists, people like Dr. Jaria, the Stanford epidemiologist, people like Harvard scientist Martin Koof, people spreading true information, not misinformation, true information at odds with the government narrative. Need I remind you, democracy without free speech is not democracy. This was a direct breach, by the way, of the First Amendment. Before COVID, intelligence Services colluded with big Tech to have Trump suspended off Twitter, yes, the same platform which hosted the Taliban and Ayatollah Khamenei. They fought the president crossed the line when he tweeted on Jan 6, quote, "remain peaceful, no violence, respect the law and our great men and women in blue." That's a quote. You may be thinking now that Trump is a populist. You are right. He didn't accept the 2020 elections, and he should have. So should Hillary in 2016. So should Brussels, and so should Westminster in 2016. And so too should Congresswoman Pelosi, instead of saying the 2016 election was "quote hijacked." What about the mainstream media? Let me read you some mainstream media headlines: The New Yorker, the day before the 2016 election, "The Case Against Democracy." The Washington Post, the day after the election, "The Problem with Our Government Is Democracy." The LA Times, June 2017, "The British Election Is a Reminder of The Perils of Too Much Democracy." Vote, June 2017, "The Two Eminent Political Scientists Say the Problem with Democracy Is Voters." New York Times, June 2017, "The Problem with Participatory Democracy Is the Participants." Mainstream media Elites are part of a class who don't just disdain popularism, they disdain the people. If the Democrats had put half their energy into delivering for the people, Trump wouldn't even have a chance in 2020. Before he shouldn't have a chance. You've had power for four years. From the fabricated steel dossier to try to take him off the ballot in both Maine and Colorado, the Democrats are the anti-democrat party. All we need now is the Republicans to come out as the pro monarchist party. Ladies and gentlemen, populism is not a threat to democracy. But I'll tell you what is: it's Elites ordering social media to censor political opponents, it's police shutting down the centers, be it anti-monarchists in this country or gender critical voices here or last week in Brussels, the national conservative movement. I'll tell you what is a threat to democracy: it's Brussels, DC, Westminster, the mainstream media, big Tech, big Farmer, corporate collusion, and the Davos cronies. The threat to democracy comes from those who write off Ordinary People as deplorable, the threat to democracy comes from those who smear working people as racists, the threat to democracy comes from those who write off working people as populists. And I'll say one last thing: this populist age can be brought to an end at the snap of a finger. All that needs to be done is for Elites to start listening to, respecting, and God forbid, working for ordinary people. Thank you. [Applause]

Demented is worst than 'deplorable' because while both of them are labels, demented refers to a medical condition and no one should be subject to that regardless of the medical alignment that they have. If the signs translates to dementia than you know how to vote or not to vote at all!

Far more than that.

One could hope that every camera angle has a complete recording, and that at least some of that behavior will be publicized.

He is speaking exactly what the people are thinking and want to be proclaimed. I love it that he stuck it too old Nancy sitting 10 feet from her. Job well done young man. Unfortunately for him, he just eliminated himself from a position with most fortune 500 companies and political positions. He comes across as one who would not care much for the brown nosing anyhow.

[@c88485]

Exactly! And the colluding MSM censors it when we try to say it.

[@rmerlin733]

Are you aware that the only difference between brown nosing and ass kissing is Depth Persception. While some may feel he has cut his future prospects, watch out - remember his name. I believe he has yet to make his mark on this world. But, when he does, it will be something to see.
