Dont you dare say I endorse Louis Farrakhan. Dont you dare say that when I throw out an idea that people are talking about, that thats my view. You dont know what I believe. Nobody knows what I believe. Ive told people that the only thing that I believe is Gorilla Mindset, Cernovich said, referring to his brand of self-help books and nutritional supplements. Ive told people that.
He continued, People go, Whats your political things, whats your politics? I go, Look, Im just a vessel for what people are saying. Im just a talk show host. This is what I grew up watching and it was a beautiful time. Geraldo Rivera, you would just bring in people and say, OK, heres a bunch of crazy people. Heres what the crazy people are saying. The world was a better place. The world was a better place when you could just say, Heres what all the lunatics are saying. Heres whats going on.
Cernovich said that this mindset is his top priority, and that politics naturally flow from that.
I believe in the powerliberal, conservative, Christian, Jew, Catholic, Muslim, atheist, agnosticI believe in the power to change your life and I believe that if you adopt a positive mindset that politics is going to flow from that, Cernovich said.

Uh yes, I have a question - "what the fuck?". Or as Homer Simpson said - "Uh... could you repeat that part where you said the stuff about those things?".

Testimony that I recall hearing verbatim from the shaggy shouter on the corner the other day. I suspect that Shaggy smells better than Mike Cernovich.

It reminds me "The Schmilblick", an imaginary object created by the French humorist Pierre Dac during the 1950s. It is absolutely useless, and can therefore be used for anything, being rigorously entire.
The word is very popular in French language and is used as a synonym for thing or stuff, or something designating a strange or unknown object. It is also used to refer to some limited help provided by someone to solve a difficult problem.
The expression is : "faire avancer le schmilblick" literally means "to make the schmilblick a step forward"
