Why do we call these people ‘elites’? It’s so subordinate. They’re richer etc but not superior people.

[jorgeclaverie]

Almost NOBODY uses face masks here, in Sweden, and NO child has ever been asked to cover his/her face, either in public or private, neither last year nor this year!

[BRAgi-zsmf]

Oh How refreshing. We still have adults who talk with honesty.

[evgeny]

BTW the MET Gala is a totally tacky event . The majority of the employees hate it, most are embarrassed by it …many people if they can actually take the day off to avoid it do.

[loremipsum]

Hypocrisy on elites has existed from the beginning of time. The difference now is that the media and post-modernism is allowing to display this as an added virtue.

[glendacollins]

Old school civil-libertarian Liberals are now more aligned with classical conservatives. What to call us? No idea. Yes, something new is emerging.

[MaxoticsTV]

We lost sight of the science day -1. Political agendas had circled the world three times while scientists were putting on their shoes.

[blakej]

Bari Weiss sounds like someone who's a short way down the path of figuring out what's going on. The way that she describes her revelations as if they are some undiscovered country is amusing, she hasn't come to understand that it's been like this for a long, long time. Hopefully she will continue to grow and understand what the reality is.

[andreaandrea]

Since this is an interview with a journalist, I would be interested to hear about the censorship of those who have been adversely affected post-vaccination. EVERYTHING pertaining to this subject has been wiped from youtube and no where in the media is it being addressed.

[spiritualpolitics]

I admire Bari Weiss; she is a moderate/centrist voice of reason, taking some hard stands.

That said she goes only as far as social propriety will let her. The hard left is 99% the threat right now, not the Trumpian right. There is no symmetry of concern, it's just polite society cannot say this...

[OMGAnotherday]

The fkrs who started all this mess have the audacity to try to tell us it wasn’t them!

[evgeny]

Staffers at the MET are told not to look any of the guests at the gala in the eye.

[jeandixon]

"There was a lot of rationale behind these policies" Really?

[KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

Wow, Bari is like a whole new person. I didn’t care for how she presented herself when she was with the NYT. Now she seems freer and is engaged in helping to create systems that will work better for all of us. Very encouraging during these dark times.

[iaincathro]

These politicians are actually supposed to exist to represent we the people. But they do not. They are all about power for themselves : they clearly do not care about ordinary people whatsoever.

[ienekevanhouten]

Political realignment sounds like an excellent plan. I am politically homeless right now. Old Leftie but anti woke.

[sharonleis]

🇨🇦 Thank you both for your insights and giving us non-elites a breath of fresh air.

[heather]

I recently found your channel and must say I'm so glad I did! Thank you for being one of many bringing the truth and the hypocrisy of it all. So refreshing. Keep up the great work.

[richardabbot]

When politicians are masked in front of their podiums THAT is performative, or more accurately they see themselves as ‘modelling correct behaviour’

[globalroamer]

Barri Weiss is hitting the nail on the head in this interview……..well done ✅
