00:08:00.000I'll also be talking tonight about Ukraine and this counteroffensive which was supposed to have been underway for a long time, but it started super late.
00:08:10.000It was a total flop, total disappointment, and it's just getting worse.
00:08:15.000And the big update today about Ukraine
00:08:18.000They put out a piece in the New York Times, and this is how you know that the coalition is beginning to break down.
00:08:26.000Because the New York Times is like the state-sponsored media.
00:08:34.000And there was a big front cover piece in the New York Times today which said that the American generals are very confused about how the Ukrainian generals are running their operation.
00:08:46.000They say that they're misallocating their resources, they're mismanaging what's been given to them.
00:08:53.000And if you know anything about this, if you've been following it at all, you know that when a piece like this goes out, this is a signal.
00:09:01.000This is meant to communicate the wishes or the agenda of the foreign policy establishment in Washington.
00:09:10.000So when they run a story where it says, oh the generals aren't happy with what's going on in Ukraine, you know this is coming from the Pentagon.
00:09:18.000You know this is coming from the American national security apparatus.
00:09:24.000And what that says to me is they are seeding people's minds.
00:11:41.000I went off again today on Telegram about Vivek.
00:11:46.000And maybe I'll talk a little bit about that tonight.
00:11:50.000But just saying how it's really interesting because, and I guess we'll get into the debate, it's kind of a conversation about the state of the race as a whole.
00:11:59.000I was going to go into, usually I like a little story before I get into the main stuff, but it's part of it, so we'll just dive in.
00:12:07.000So our featured story, as I said, tomorrow is the first GOP presidential primary debate, but it's very weird because the frontrunner, by far, is not even going to be there.
00:12:19.000And if you've looked at any of the polls at all lately, Trump only continues to expand his lead.
00:12:27.000I believe the RealClearPolitics average has him up 41 points over the next highest polling candidate which would be DeSantis.
00:14:21.000There was this mirage that DeSantis might have stood a chance, and then he announced.
00:14:27.000Then he officially entered the race, and all you have to do is look at the chart, you look at the average for the Republican primary polling, and he's just gone down.
00:14:39.000DeSantis was maybe within 10 or 15 points of Trump, but basically since he announced, that gap has doubled, has only increased, and continues to increase.
00:14:52.000And you'd think that if he had a chance, he would change up his strategy, or maybe it would be a little more dynamic, but it isn't.
00:14:58.000Trump has had a commanding lead for basically since he left office.
00:15:03.000DeSantis almost got close to being close to being within reach, and then lost it, and then totally slipped, and has never even come close to where he was before.
00:15:17.000And so, that's why the debate is weird.
00:15:19.000You've got this race where you have a presumptive nominee.
00:15:26.000It's not even safe to say he's the frontrunner.
00:15:30.000He's the presumptive nominee because it's barring him being prohibited from running for office, he will be the nominee.
00:15:40.000I would say that it is virtually impossible that any other candidate will
00:16:06.000It says eight Republican candidates have met the criteria to take the stage and will participate in the first GOP presidential debate on Wednesday night.
00:16:14.000The eight participants are the North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, former Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson, former Vice President Mike Pence, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and Senator Tim Scott.
00:16:37.000Former President Donald Trump, the party's current frontrunner, has opted to skip the debate and instead participate in a pre-recorded interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
00:16:47.000GOP candidates scramble to attract... I'm sorry, that's another headline, which I accidentally put in my notes.
00:16:53.000The first debate, taking place in Milwaukee, will air on Fox News' platform at 9 p.m.
00:17:42.000And what's more, none of them can even be on the ticket.
00:17:47.000Because I know that some have said that this debate is really like a tryout and it's meant to be an audition
00:17:54.000For the second place spot to be the Vice President on Trump's ticket, but none of these people would even be there, because they're all anti-Trump.
00:18:02.000Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, Chris Christie, DeSantis... None of these people are gonna be on the ticket.
00:18:10.000Doug Burgum, Asa Hutchinson aren't big enough.
00:18:14.000And then Tim Scott and Ramaswamy, they're the only ones that I think Trump is friendly with, and I think there are maybe, honestly, and it's unfortunate.
00:18:24.000I think it's a remote possibility, but he might be on the ticket because he's black and he's from South Carolina.
00:18:32.000Although I think he's got a lot of weaknesses, and I certainly think he's the worst Republican Senator in the United States Senate, but just because of this constant need for diversity on the ticket, you know, there is a chance he could be on there.
00:18:47.000And Vivek, he's the only other one that is competitive next to DeSantis, and he's one that Trump has been positive towards.
00:18:54.000As for the rest, though, I'm not buying this argument that it's a fight for number two.
00:18:58.000None of these people are going to be number two.
00:19:01.000And there's a slim possibility that two of them would be considered.
00:19:07.000So what exactly are we doing here then?
00:19:10.000It's a debate which, theoretically, the point of the debate is to allow the voters to discern who should be the president, but none of them are going to win.
00:19:20.000None of them are even going to come close to winning.
00:19:29.000Donald Trump says that he is boycotting the debate because when you have a lead of 40 points, all you're doing by going to this debate is just giving everybody airtime.
00:19:40.000I mean, let's just say some facts about this debate.
00:19:43.000No one's gonna watch it if Trump doesn't go.
00:19:45.000I mean, that's the biggest, that's the number one most pressing reality about this is that, and it's been like this for the last eight years, Trump is the show.
00:19:56.000If Trump's not there, people don't watch.
00:21:31.000To get criticized and attacked and scrutinized by people who are not known and who are not liked.
00:21:40.000And what's more, he's making an in-kind contribution in terms of attention.
00:21:45.000No one would pay attention to these people other than Trump.
00:21:48.000So why would he give them not just the opportunity to undermine him, which is what they'd all be doing, naturally, and some are more vocal about it than others, but Chris Christie is there to stick it to Trump.
00:22:02.000Why would Trump go and subject himself to that from someone who's polling at less than 5%?
00:22:08.000And secondarily, but related, why would he go there and share, not just subject himself to these attacks, but share the attention and basically give an in-kind contribution in terms of media to all these people who wish to attack him?
00:22:27.000And then maybe the other angle is this.
00:22:29.000Consider that it's Fox News hosting this debate.
00:22:32.000Which, if you've been following this story from the beginning, Fox News has been nothing but uncharitable towards the President.
00:22:41.000When he was running the first time, during his first term in office, in the post-presidency, they have been nothing but critical.
00:22:51.000And a lot of people don't even realize it was at the first Republican primary debate in 2016, where Roger Ailes personally, who was the then CEO of Fox News, he personally saw to it that Megyn Kelly tried to sabotage Trump on the first night.
00:23:11.000And at this point in time, it's ancient history.
00:23:14.000But the first Republican primary debate in 2016 was in August 2015,
00:23:21.000Hosted by Fox News, and this is the first time that people saw Trump on the stage, and it was, I think it was there were nine other candidates in the primetime debate, and I feel like this was more common knowledge back then, but maybe people forget, but Roger Ailes, who has since died, the then kingpin of Fox News, he personally put up Megyn Kelly to ask Trump that question.
00:23:46.000about you've called women fat pigs, slobs, dogs, etc.
00:23:53.000And that was supposed to be a kill shot.
00:24:05.000Because Trump had, Trump as a political figure, preceded Trump's first run.
00:24:11.000Trump had been a regular on Fox News for years.
00:24:14.000And had been at the, had been at CPAC, had been to these GOP meetings, going back decades.
00:24:23.000So he was very familiar with that scene, but in 2015 they tried to knock him out because all the usual suspects said, well, he's not a real conservative, he's bad for our brand, he's against immigration, he's against the media.
00:24:41.000So, this is why we talk about all the time, Trump is not just against the left and the Democrats, he's against everybody.
00:24:47.000He's against the entire establishment.
00:24:49.000Because even Fox News, which was, during the Obama administration, synonymous with far-right, extremist, whatever, even they were out to get him.
00:25:00.000And it is perfectly reasonable to say that, because the leader of Fox News had it out for him, personally.
00:25:45.000Fox News did nothing but try to stab him in the back throughout the first campaign.
00:25:50.000And when Trump was in office he just continually rewarded them.
00:25:54.000Calling into their shows and giving them exclusives and doing interviews and all this.
00:25:59.000And they were not terrible to him because he was the kingmaker at that time, but as soon as he got out of office, they were the first ones in the 2020 election, for example, to falsely start calling swing states like Georgia and Arizona.
00:26:16.000If you remember, I think Fox News was the first to call Arizona before any other station, before they finished counting.
00:26:22.000They didn't finish counting for weeks, but Fox News called it first for Biden.
00:26:48.000Negative coverage about the Capitol, about his denial of the 2020 election.
00:26:56.000All this to say, Trump is not just sticking it to all the other candidates by boycotting the debate, but also it's long overdue that he stick it to Fox News.
00:27:05.000Fox News desperately needs Trump to be there for this to be profitable, and for this to be
00:27:13.000For this to get any kind of viewership.
00:27:16.000And if Trump were to go, and also, by the way, they're demanding all these conditions.
00:27:20.000They're saying, well, Trump has to pledge to support the eventual nominee.
00:28:08.000And it almost works doubly so because now it's like not only is nobody going to watch it and nobody cares, but this entire debate stage just looks like the loser club.
00:28:42.000He's a child of immigrants from India.
00:28:47.000I think his parents are from India and they moved to Ohio.
00:28:51.000And he became a self-made, nearly a billionaire.
00:28:54.000I think he's got a eight-figure net worth, nine-figure net worth.
00:29:01.000I read on Wikipedia he's got $950 million.
00:29:05.000She's a self-made, nearly-a-billionaire, first-generation Asian immigrant who, as far as I know, didn't really have much of a public profile or any kind of a political presence and just took the country by storm with a viral social media campaign.
00:29:21.000I think people just like what he says.
00:29:23.000At least that's what it appears to be.
00:29:36.000DeSantis had a bigger war chest than Trump.
00:29:39.000He had a bigger war chest than any governor in the United States has ever had.
00:29:43.000I think he had raised $200 million in the last cycle.
00:29:48.000And he had the support of the Jews and Israel and all his money and he's the governor and he is maybe the next best known politician in the race next to Trump and governor of a major state and so in other words he's got all these advantages and this other guy who really started from scratch is now competitive with him.
00:30:10.000And I'll say too it is unfortunate his look because you know
00:30:17.000I know that probably a lot of Republicans are not totally on board with, like, a Hindu Indian.
00:30:24.000And I'm not making any kind of comment on that.
00:31:19.000And also people have said that maybe he's a plant.
00:31:22.000People have said, well, he's got these spurious, or I should say suspicious, ties to the World Economic Forum and he took a Soros grant to fund his education in law school.
00:31:37.000And he did some suspicious things with his biotech company.
00:31:43.000I think he pushed for vaccine mandates.
00:31:45.000So people have pointed out there's some allegations that maybe he's not, maybe he's an industry plant.
00:31:51.000Regardless, regardless of all that, because I just want to make sure I put it all, I put everything on the table here.
00:31:58.000Putting all that aside, I think it is interesting.
00:32:01.000Maybe that's the next most interesting thing about the race outside of what's going on with Trump and the indictments and everything, is that this is the second presidential election where you have an Asian entrepreneur, an Asian first-generation immigrant entrepreneur, self-funder, with a viral social media campaign,
00:32:22.000Because we saw the same thing in Andrew Yang in 2020.
00:32:45.000Became rich off of, I think, a medical company.
00:32:50.000And then, just like Vivek, got involved, although on the left, with a social media presidential campaign, with no name recognition, with no institutional support, no money.
00:33:02.000He was able to take the election by storm, get on the debate stage.
00:33:07.000The performance is neither here nor there.
00:33:09.000I think he performed far worse than Vivek.
00:33:13.000And I think he made some very specific mistakes, which are the reason for that.
00:33:19.000In two elections, you've had this same phenomenon.
00:33:22.000Like I said, they both have these things in common.
00:33:24.000They're both first-generation Asian immigrants, very high IQ, very educated, eloquent, well-spoken, and they're really kind of like a new breed of politician.
00:33:35.000All the other politicians in this race are like classic politicians.
00:34:42.000And they have that canned, full of shit, polished political thing.
00:34:46.000Both Yang and Vivek, not only are they not white, they're Asian, children of immigrants, but there's also something that characterizes them that they're kind of like a new type of campaign where it's super smart.
00:34:59.000When you listen to Vivek, it sounds a lot more like a podcast.
00:35:03.000It sounds a lot more like a polemical commentator like me, or like Tucker, or like whoever, like Alex Jones for that matter, although that's a specific sort of thing.
00:35:17.000They're almost talking like... They're talking to American people who have a higher IQ.
00:35:25.000They're not like Chris Christie who goes out there and says, I want you to feel safe, I want you to feel secure, blah blah blah, you know, whatever.
00:35:33.000They're almost talking past that kind of thing and talking to a different audience.
00:35:37.000Maybe like a more educated, more affluent, higher IQ demographic like
00:35:43.000Like, let's say more of a Wall Street Journal audience than a Fox News audience.
00:35:47.000Let's say more of like an NPR audience or a Joe Rogan Experience audience than a Sean Hannity audience.
00:35:56.000Or than a Rush Limbaugh audience, even, if that's not sacrilege.
00:36:01.000When I hear Yang and I hear Vivek, although I don't agree with all of it, I can engage with it on a higher level, on like the level that I could with another commentator or a podcaster, like a real political nerd, in other words, rather than some politician where it's all platitudes, it's all lowest common denominator, you know, mass marketing appeals sort of stuff.
00:36:23.000So it's also a different kind of campaign.
00:36:29.000In almost like a post-Trump way, they're capitalizing on social media and the ability to use long-form video, audio content, podcasts, even like TikToks, to speak to a different kind of demographic and to kind of elevate the conversation a little bit.
00:36:46.000The other thing they have in common is they're both sidestepping the race issues, they're sidestepping the culture war,
00:36:55.000And they're really using these ad hoc, like, culture war band-aid type positions where they're like, hey man, I want opportunity for everybody.
00:37:04.000Hey man, we want, like for example, Andrew Yang, his big push was the UBI, Universal Basic Income.
00:37:12.000You have all these black people that say, we need more money for them programs.
00:37:15.000We need more money in them schools for our kids.
00:37:18.000And Angie Yang had a way of sort of sidestepping that and saying, well, we'll give money to everybody.
00:37:26.000He was on The Breakfast Club and they're saying, well, we don't need just reparations.
00:37:30.000We need money and invest in our community.
00:37:32.000And Vivek said, well, I agree, but let's ignore race and let's distribute the money
00:37:38.000According to means, and we'll means test the money that we give to the schools.
00:37:44.000And so both of them are sort of, they're diffusing the cultural, racial stuff, and their big agenda, their big vision, is this prosperity agenda.
00:39:41.000And I think his big mistake in the first debate is he went out there as a never-Trumper.
00:39:47.000If you remember Andrew Yang's first performance in the 2020 Democrat presidential primary, his first performance, which that was his big push, was to meet the donor threshold to get on the stage.
00:39:59.000He goes out there and says, well, I hate Trump and Trump sucks.
00:40:05.000I think he said, you know, Trump's an asshole or something like that.
00:40:09.000And I think in that moment he lost the basis of his appeal, which is that he was really speaking to everybody like Ted Kennedy is doing now.
00:40:19.000Ted Kennedy's getting Republican support because he's actually talking to the right, which Republicans are slaves.
00:40:43.000Anyway, though, they did have a problem with him in the initial stage because they said, well, he's not really with the left-wing orthodoxy.
00:41:25.000Whatever you give the white people, we have to have more, otherwise it's racist.
00:41:30.000So, in other words, Andrew Yang, as a high IQ, model minority, Asian immigrant who comes in with a unifying prosperity agenda, that idea crashed.
00:41:43.000Like a wave on the rocks of the Democrat orthodoxy, which is, it doesn't work in that political reality where their base is anti-white.
00:41:54.000It doesn't work with this current political reality where the only thing holding the Democrats together, or even distinguishing them from Republicans, is they hate white people.
00:46:48.000We also have had a lot of Hispanics and for a long time, when we think of immigration, we think of immigration across the southern border.
00:46:56.000We think of our contiguous border with Mexico.
00:47:01.000And all these people that are pouring over, jumping the fence, swimming across, that speak Spanish, and mow the lawns, and do these kinds of jobs.
00:47:12.000But there's another kind of elite, or rather, there's another kind of group that's coming into America, and increasingly there are as many, or more, than the Hispanics.
00:47:21.000The Asian immigration increasingly is outpacing the Hispanic immigration.
00:47:27.000And so as time goes on, the Asian minority in America is growing, but they're a fundamentally different kind of minority.
00:47:34.000Unlike the blacks, unlike the Hispanics, they're very high IQ, and they're very educated.
00:47:39.000Their IQs are comparable or greater than the native white people.
00:47:45.000As is their educational attainment, as is their work ethic, as is their family formation, other things.
00:47:52.000And so, Vivek and Andrew Yang represent this new dimension of the demographic change, which is that we are increasingly getting a new elite.
00:48:03.000We're not just getting a new underclass in the form of Hispanics that are pouring across to do the cheap labor.
00:48:09.000We're also getting a new overclass, with all the Chinese and Indians that are pouring in on work visas, education visas, or family-based migration.
00:48:21.000And these people are getting the good jobs, they're in leadership positions, and as time goes on, they're going to become the leaders of the country.
00:48:48.000If they represent a large portion of the student body, that means they will be a large portion of the scientists, of the lawyers, of the CEOs, of the everything.
00:49:18.000We had a white, we had a WASP, white Anglo-Saxon Protestant elite in America.
00:49:25.000They were the majority in the Ivy League schools.
00:49:27.000They were all the presidents and politicians and billionaires and everything like that.
00:49:34.000And then after World War II, after all the Jews had come in in the first half of the century and after World War II, in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, the Jews took over all the elite positions.
00:49:46.000And the Jews initially were able to do that because they were, at that time, very competent.
00:50:15.000That's why things like abortion and homosexuality are tolerated, pluralism.
00:50:21.000That's why we have this anti-white culture.
00:50:23.000All the Jewish priorities, all the Jewish values, the Jewish culture proceeds down from our newly crowned Jewish elite.
00:50:34.000But Jews and whites have been going at it for 2,000 years, of course, and even longer.
00:50:39.000So the Jews that came here have this religious and racial tension with the pre-existing whites.
00:50:45.000They don't like whites because whites expelled them repeatedly in Europe, segregated them, discriminated against them, in many cases killed them.
00:50:57.000So the Jews came here with racial animosity but also religious animosity because a lot of those things were done for religious reasons.
00:51:05.000So they come to America and they say, okay, well there's going to be no more whiteness and there's going to be no more Puritan stuff because we're in charge now and now it's our turn.
00:51:18.000That's another reason why it's been so toxic.
00:51:21.000But these Asians that are coming here now, they haven't lived on a continent with Jews for 2,000 years.
00:51:28.000They haven't been together for all that time.
00:51:30.000The Chinese and the Indians didn't put the Jews in the Pale of Settlement, didn't Holocaust them, didn't put them in ghettos, didn't expel them for 300 years, didn't force them to wear badges, didn't force them into their own corporate enclaves.
00:51:46.000And as a consequence, they have a totally different consciousness.
00:51:54.000So this blood libel stuff, they don't even know what that's about.
00:51:58.000And just like the Jews from a century ago, these Indians and Chinese are very high IQ, very hard workers, and they're also very nepotistic.
00:52:07.000When various Asian ethnic groups come here, they help each other out.
00:52:10.000If an Indian gets into a software company and they get in a position to hire people, they bring over their entire cast from India.
00:52:19.000And other Asians do a similar thing, although Indians are really known for that.
00:52:26.000And so what's happening now is that, and I think this is a good thing, these Asian people are really competing with the Jews for market share over the American elite.
00:52:35.000It's playing out in the universities, but the university is highest up the river.
00:52:42.000Because, of course, the elite are produced by the university.
00:52:46.000So, when you see this battle going on in Harvard over how many Chinese people they're gonna let in, how many Asians they're gonna admit, what that's really about, like we talked about months ago with the Supreme Court decision, is to what extent will we have an Asian elite, rather than a Jewish elite, or white elite.
00:54:39.000But if we're gonna have immigration, and we're gonna bring over all the world's poor, it may be beneficial to have a high IQ elite in America who the fledgling white population can team up with.
00:55:15.000Whether they feel the fire of European blood or the Christian faith, I think they could see very plainly that the left does not offer solutions that America needs.
00:55:26.000I think they could see that this sort of like, uh, mestizo, socialist, Chavez thing is just a disaster.
00:55:33.000In other words, I think that that can look at an AOC and say, this is a retard.
00:55:40.000And a person like that can't get in control of America.
00:55:43.000All these retarded Bolivarian Hugo Chavez Castro types are just going to destroy the country.
00:55:51.000So maybe there's something there where the Andreangs and the Vivecs team up with the whites of America, like Vivec is doing in the Republican Party, to salvage what we have here.
00:56:07.000And maybe it's not going to be ideal, but it'll be better than Brazil.
00:56:15.000So that's my take on this Vivek phenomenon.
00:56:19.000I feel like nobody else is talking about that, that you've got this Yang, and then you've got Vivek, and in many ways they're so similar, and they're saying the same thing, and they're really only talking to white people, and I think a lot of people in the middle.
00:56:36.000And it's representative of how the elite is changing, and the Jews don't like it one bit.
00:56:41.000Because the Asian elite is going to care a lot less about Israel, and they're going to care a lot less about the Jews.
00:56:52.000So, if I had to pick between some Zionist, if I had to pick between some Jewish whatever, and some Indian guy, I mean unfortunately I'm going to pick the Indian.
00:57:02.000Unfortunately I'm going to pick the Chinese guy.
00:57:04.000I wish there was some white, Irish, Catholic, Italian guy,
00:57:08.000Who could really, you know, maybe that'll be me in the future, but for the time being, I'll take the Chinese over the Jews.
00:59:47.000These guys look incredible all of a sudden.
00:59:50.000You know, a minute ago I was thinking, man, they eat like slobs and they flick their cigarettes in the stairwell and they spit, but then you see it's these people that eat human beings, then there's gonna be six trillion of them by the end of our lifetime.
01:06:57.000And... Clearly it's not the best for consumers, but...
01:07:02.000I don't know then just don't don't subscribe to it you know because all the I feel like all the subscription options there is an option for you to just buy it like you could go to the iTunes store and buy every song you want and it's like do you want to pay $3,000 to download 2,000 songs or do you want to pay $10 a month to have limitless downloads and listens in perpetuity?
01:07:32.000You know so what does that what does that cost you after 20 years?
01:07:38.000You'll say it would have been more worth it to buy the songs?
01:07:42.000Same thing with like Netflix you could go and rent every movie you could go and buy the DVD of every movie or you could pay $15 a month and get all the movies streaming there
01:07:52.000And you're also paying for the convenience, because a lot of these companies struggle with profitability.
01:07:57.000And you're helping to shore up their profitability, which makes their revenue more predictable, which means they're able to keep going, and then you, you know, these things exist.
01:08:07.000Then you can have the convenience of one-day delivery on Amazon.
01:08:17.000I'm mobile with it with a wide selection of original content, you know, so I I disagree I think I think the subscription model has made things better I think like video content has gotten better.
01:13:28.000They're just coping and they're obsessed with another guy's relationship.
01:13:32.000Which is such a bizarre... Does he actually believe that or is that just rhetoric?
01:13:37.000Does he actually think that making fun of another man for having a horrible life, does he really think that that means we're like obsessed?
01:13:46.000Because that's just like a first grade cope.
01:15:25.000I don't know if he's pretending not to understand that for rhetorical purposes, but it's crazy.
01:15:32.000I want to pull it up specifically because it was just the most outrageous, and he's done that with himself too, when people criticize his relationship.
01:15:43.000He goes, you're obsessed with my relationship.
01:17:00.000I'm like, are you really gonna sit there and say?
01:17:03.000That if there's one guy, there are two equal guys, all things being equal, and one's poor and one's rich, she's not gonna go for the rich guy?
01:18:44.000I feel like Asians are more susceptible to the cause because they are a productive high-achieving group and are more and more being discriminated against as years go by.
01:24:48.000You have so many epic clips from the Grow Hyper Wars and Thought Wars that would go viral, especially with all the talented clippers we have today.
01:24:55.000Would you ever consider releasing all your old episodes?
