00:26:13.000Before we get into it, I just want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble and Cozy to get a push notification whenever I go live.
00:27:42.000And I drove 5 hours today from Detroit to get here, so I'm tired, I'm hungry, it's way too hot in here, my voice is gone, I have had enough, and we'll have some funny stories to tell tonight.
00:27:59.000But I just want you to be prepared, okay?
00:28:03.000And this Super Chat segment tonight is gonna be absolutely brutal.
00:28:09.000As I can already tell, it's gonna be a long show that's gonna be a million superchats and it's like an oven in here.
00:28:25.000So with all that being said, we're gonna dive into it.
00:28:28.000It's actually been a minute since I've done a show.
00:28:32.000I think the last show I did was actually like a full week ago.
00:28:35.000I had to cancel a bunch of shows last week because we were getting ready for AFPAC, so I was just too busy.
00:28:44.000Keith Woods was in town, we were hanging out.
00:28:47.000So it's actually been my first show in a week.
00:28:50.000I think I will do a show, oh and one other thing, I'll do a show tomorrow and then I'm gonna take the rest of the week off because I am exhausted.
00:28:59.000So I'm gonna do a show tonight, recap everything, I'm gonna do a show tomorrow and recap
00:29:06.000The latest news, whatever I've missed, because I haven't done a show in about a week.
00:29:11.000It'll be a regular news show tomorrow, and then I'm taking the rest of the week off, but we have some really exciting things planned in the coming weeks.
00:29:20.000I don't want to spoil anything, but some big surprises at the end of the month.
00:29:26.000And the first presidential debate is on June 27th.
00:29:31.000I'll be covering it exclusively on Rumble, so make sure to tune in for that, but I will return before that.
00:29:38.000I'll be here tomorrow, I'll be here next week, and we'll do the big debate.
00:29:43.000But I do, I'm going to take a few days off to recuperate, because it's been a lot.
00:29:49.000With that being said, we're going to dive into it and it's going to be more of a, I know it's Monday, not casual Friday, but it's going to be more of a casual show tonight.
00:29:58.000I just want to talk a little bit about what happened this weekend because obviously it's a big deal.
00:30:08.000It was supposed to be, and it was, but just not quite in the way that we expected or that we wanted it to be.
00:30:16.000But I think it was positive nevertheless.
00:30:19.000So as you know, we have been preparing really for years for our fourth AfPak conference.
00:30:27.000And just to take you back a little bit, because it's been so long since the last time that we held one of these, it's really been all over the place.
00:30:38.000The last AfPak we did, AfPak 3, was in February 2022.
00:30:47.000And the reason we haven't done one since then is because the way that AFPAC has grown alongside CPAC really became unsustainable at a certain point.
00:31:03.000And I'll tell you what I mean by this.
00:31:05.000When we started AFPAC in 2020, we did it in Washington DC.
00:31:10.000Because we started AFPAC as our answer to CPAC.
00:31:15.000CPAC is Conservative Political Action Conference.
00:31:18.000AFPAC is America First Political Action Conference.
00:31:22.000So I had been getting kicked out of CPAC for a couple years.
00:37:17.000I have to be careful about what I say about this conference because we are
00:37:22.000Pursuing legal action for reasons that we'll get into so I have to be a little bit measured about how I talk about this But so that is how we got to AFPAC 4.
00:37:33.000That's why it took us so long Contrary to what people say, you know, people talk a lot of crap about me But that is the conversation that evolved over the past couple of years also, I was working for yay, so that was I was a little bit busy, but
00:41:46.000Had to abandon a lot of our equipment.
00:41:49.000A lot of it remained inside the venue because, you know, if you guys know anything about this stuff, it's actually a pretty arduous affair.
00:41:59.000It's not like you set up AFPAC like it's a jumpy jump, like, you know, you stick the air cannon in there and you blow it up and then you suck the air out and you take it down.
00:42:49.000So we were exploring legal remedies, ways that we could maybe force them to let us put the event on.
00:42:58.000We were negotiating with their lawyers because I do believe they're a breach of contract.
00:43:04.000So we're exploring legal remedies, we're talking to lawyers, we're also looking at backup venues, and a lot of people say, well, you know, why didn't you have a backup?
00:43:14.000For a 2,000 person event with this level of production, it doesn't, maybe you have a backup, but you don't have a backup for a 24 hour cancellation.
00:43:22.000It's not, it's not fungible like that.
00:43:29.000We literally had a team of 50 people calling every venue in the entire city throughout the night and into the morning for Saturday and Sunday.
00:44:10.000We can't find a venue that can accommodate nearly 2,000 people, while also guaranteeing safety, security, privacy, and also, because those are big concerns, I mean, we were getting a lot of death threats.
00:44:40.000And we also couldn't guarantee a very high level of experience you know to go from what we had set up which was like I said I mean really the highest level production tier LED video wall subwoofers laser lights and so on to go from that to like a kind of curtains and pipe and drape I said you know if we can't really bring it I don't want to do it so we pulled the plug on the whole thing
00:45:07.000We said we'll do a small event with our donors, our VIPs, our speakers, our guests, and we will refund everybody, the general admission ticket holders that weren't able to get the event.
00:45:21.000It's going to take us some time because we've got to get our refund from our vendors, and then we can give the refund to the ticket holders, but that is something that we're going to accomplish this year.
00:45:35.000We'll get into a little bit what happened after that, but that is how we got from AfPak 3 to this debacle here in Detroit, and also how it played out.
00:45:46.000And I want to say to everybody who bought a ticket, everybody that flew out, I'm very sorry, personally.
00:47:16.000Almost everybody that I saw this weekend, everybody online, everybody was just saying, hey man, we got your back, we're with you, we'll go to AfPak in the streets if we have to, and we did, ultimately.
00:48:00.000Don't get me wrong, I love my life, but I have to make sacrifices to do this.
00:48:05.000I have to be hated by a lot of people.
00:48:09.000I have to deal with a lot of problems, like being banned from payment processors, and being banned from banks, and being banned from Instagram, and having to worry about my safety and security, and so on.
00:48:21.000So, I face my share of sacrifices, and from time to time, the people in the movement have to bear that as well.
00:48:30.000Because we are all joined in this struggle and this is something that it is by definition a struggle.
00:50:19.000And what was so amazing is, I'm gonna be candid, I'm gonna be really honest with you.
00:50:25.000It really inspired me not to sound I know I sound like hey I'm gonna be vulnerable you inspire me but it's true I was taking it really hard that we had to cancel because it's just like a disaster you know I felt terrible I felt terrible that we couldn't do it I felt terrible that people you know they flew out they couldn't make it
00:51:06.000Not me, because everyone thinks it's all about me, it's a cult.
00:51:10.000The people, the movement, showed up in the streets at turning point.
00:51:16.000And so I heard that some of the Groypers were spontaneously gathering at some of the hotels downtown.
00:51:22.000And I heard they were marching and gathering outside.
00:51:26.000And I saw these clips of all the Kruipers marching in a line like a half mile long, like 500 people, marching in front of the Turning Point Convention shouting, Christ is King.
00:51:40.000Then they gathered in the center, right in the middle of all the traffic, chanting, We want Nick!
00:52:02.000I drove all the way down there and came through the crowd, climbed up on the balcony, gave a speech.
00:52:09.000And I thought that was one of the most remarkable moments in the history of the movement.
00:52:15.000Obviously we'll go down in history when we look back on this, and we will years down the line, as one of the iconic, had-to-be-there moments
00:52:26.000And it almost makes it better, in a way.
00:52:30.000I mean, again, I know that sounds like Cope, but if you were there, you know what I mean.
00:52:35.000There's something that's actually more fun and more exciting about the oppositional
00:54:36.000We're literally like, can't get a room at the inn.
00:54:40.000Driven away everywhere, but still show up in the streets with real force with literally hundreds of people and look great in suits, young, kids, and excited and passionate and just looking for where to go.
00:54:57.000Tell us where to go and we'll go there.
00:54:59.000I thought it was a really amazing demonstration of solidarity and resilience, and it totally flipped the script for me.
00:55:11.000Because like I said, I was totally despondent, and you know me, I can get on, I can get through things, but I was feeling pretty bad about what had happened, and then to see everybody marching in the streets, I'm like,
00:58:14.000They blast the music during Kevin DeAnna's speech.
00:58:18.000I go and inform him, hey man, they cut your mic.
00:58:22.000The whole crowd moves forward and swarms the booth.
00:58:26.000There's a fight breaking out, there's this jacked bodybuilder screaming in their face, yelling at them, telling them to turn the music down.
01:00:04.000And even though it was totally scuffed, even though it was totally spontaneous, even though it got thrown out of two venues and we're getting chased around by the cops and it's everything's last minute, it's so fun.
01:01:09.000Now, granted, I prefer that all the events go according to plan.
01:01:15.000I prefer that, you know, Sneako doesn't get Superman punched in the face.
01:01:19.000I prefer that it's not like that, but we're dealing with something that's bigger than plans.
01:01:26.000We're dealing with something that's bigger than logistics and venues.
01:01:30.000The superpower that we have, because we don't have money like Turning Point, we don't have organization, we have no friends in like the institutions that'll help us with the venue or whatever.
01:01:44.000What we have, our superpower that no one else has, is just raw energy.
01:03:02.000Many people are giving their life to this.
01:03:04.000People that aren't are willing to give their lives to this.
01:03:08.000You think some nig at a bar, you know, like some security guard who took offense because we said white this and white that, do you think that that even comes close to the level of seriousness that we bring to the table when we're willing to die for what we believe in because we believe in God?
01:03:26.000You think Turning Point USA and this stupid security firm they hire, these goofballs and lanyards, you think these people can stop a war about?
01:04:24.000It sits right on top of the physical realm and that is where we're active and that's why we're able to people say how is how does this happen this guy must be a fed how is he doing this it looks like magic because it's invisible because the true belief the energy
01:04:44.000It's not here in the world where people are like, you know, just trying to get their coffee and go to work.
01:04:49.000It's happening on the level of our souls and our connection with God and our connection with the truth, which is a man, which is Jesus Christ, because we're all at Calvary every single day.
01:05:03.000That's what we're meditating on when we do these things.
01:06:00.000Tentatively, I'd like to do it at the end of this year.
01:06:04.000And I'd like to do it just as big, if not bigger, than what we had planned.
01:06:08.000With the production, with the speeches, with the rest.
01:06:11.000If they cancel it, we'll be back the other way.
01:06:14.000We're going to do it one way or the other but I'd like to do it at the end of this year and I'd also like to do something I'm not promising these things because you know it's always logistics but I'd also like to get together a stipend
01:06:27.000to if we well when we reschedule this thing if we do it at the end of the year i'd like to do like a stipend for some of the younger guys that paid money to travel to this one and didn't get to go i'm talking general admission younger guys i don't know how we're going to do it it's going to be logistically complicated my staff's going to hate me for saying this but i'd almost like to not anything right away because we all gotta decompress a little bit but i'd almost like to do like a fund maybe we could raise money
01:06:57.000Of course the foundation will put money in but I'd like to do a stipend for the next one for some of the younger guys because it really that's the part that is really unacceptable it breaks my heart because it's such a young movement and it's these teenagers college-age guys they don't got a lot of money
01:07:15.000They use their their meager funds, they get on a plane, they get a hotel, they fly there, and then the event's canceled.
01:07:42.000We're gonna issue the refunds when we get our refund back and then I'd like to do a stipend so that we could get some of these young guys back and just make it a little easier next time because that's the only part that really upsets me.
01:08:12.000And that's the part that breaks my heart, is people that pay money to get on a plane, get the hotel, they come out, they're all ready to go, they're wearing their suit and everything, and then they can't show up.
01:08:41.000I mean, at the end of the day, the movement is about the people.
01:08:45.000It's not about the smoke and mirrors, the lights, the fog machine.
01:08:49.000I really love, I'm like overdosing on the fog machine.
01:08:53.000My whole staff, they're like, you gotta take it easy.
01:08:55.000I'm like, okay, so what if we had a mist machine and a fog machine and we made it 65 degrees and it felt like you were being born again, you know?
01:09:04.000So, but it's not, it's not about those things.
01:09:11.000And that's one of the things that Kanye taught me that everyone always hates when I speak positively about him, but I really believe he's a genius.
01:10:49.000You know, I show up there to the city to put the thing on, it gets cancelled, you guys show up for me and spontaneously get together in the place.
01:11:00.000And set it up in such a way where we can't lose, you know?
01:11:31.000Oh, he was the casualty getting punched But the video is so funny Sneak, oh, I think he knocked his hat off because the good because the security guard well I don't know if you saw the video sneaker got hit in the face by security guard and
01:11:46.000At first, he was really obnoxious, really rude.
01:11:49.000He's flipping everybody off, pretending like he doesn't care, because everybody was giving him a lot of guff.
01:12:10.000Like this guy flying through, literally leaping, flying into the air with the fist pulled back and blasts Nico in the face and then he goes tumbling on the floor.
01:12:20.000The drama, the drama of the moment was crazy.
01:13:14.000I think as long as we are doing our best, as long as we're really bringing it, as long as we're in it, you guys are down for the struggle, and that's what we have to be.
01:13:23.000Because it is gonna be, this is gonna be a struggle for our whole lives.
01:14:09.000I mean, at this point, it is so transparent.
01:14:15.000That you've got, like, the conservative movement that is desperately trying to emulate our talking points, our energy, but there's just one thing they can't let go of.
01:15:55.000And there was, like, an advertisement during their conference, and it's Alex Clark, that bimbo that does poplitics, their, like, stupid girl show.
01:16:04.000And she's up there and she's saying, freedom to O. You don't need to just drink water.
01:16:09.000It's about the message that you're sending by drinking the water, because this is conservative water.
01:16:14.000This is water that's, like, for freedom.
01:19:12.000So Jack Posobiec comes out to trap music, he's got the Pit Vipers on, one of his douchebags has got the White Boy Summer flag, he's throwing out White Boy Summer hats, and the camera is on the stage with Jack Posobiec, who's like a 40-year-old man, throwing these stupid hats out, and then they cut to the audience, and it's like these two, and you know, bless their hearts, I'm sure they're very nice,
01:19:35.000But it cuts from Posobic, hello my fellow kids, look it's White Boy Summer, remember from three years ago?
01:19:41.000And then it cuts to the audience, and it's these two like 50 year old women, these two like moms, and they're doing like the mom clap.
01:21:39.000It's America versus Israel last now, alright?
01:21:43.000So, those are just some reflections on the weekend.
01:21:49.000There's one other funny story all those last story I'll tell then we'll move on we'll take the super chats but Last night we had a dinner for our sponsors for like all the people that put up most of the money for the conference We went to this nice restaurant called the Whitney in downtown Detroit, and it was like a
01:25:01.000Maybe we do, but... I mean, literally, I'm sitting in front of, like, a big table with, like, ten people giving a little speech, and they start playing the piano louder.
01:26:03.000And like I said, I'd like to do, as we get closer to the next one, maybe a stipend for some of these younger guys, because that's the part that, that's the only part that I'm really pissed about.
01:30:38.000They say, hey, so you're with America First now, so what's going on with this stuff?
01:30:42.000And they bring up evidence that they're not really 100% with us.
01:30:49.000What always happens invariably is that e-girl will take the most, the nastiest reply out of the group, and then she'll say, oh well this person said this, oh my gosh, all gropers are like this, oh now they're doing this, oh now they're doing this.
01:31:07.000An e-girl could get hundreds, thousands of replies expressing legitimate criticism, legitimate arguments,
01:31:16.000Every time, they will pick out the one person that says, oh, you're a c-word.
01:33:57.000No one is making you dump out your shitty opinion on the internet.
01:34:02.000And you certainly can't, if you get negative feedback, pretend that all the negative feedback is just rape.
01:34:08.000Oh, if I get a thousand replies and 90% of them are legitimate criticism but maybe 10% are questionable, oh well it's representative of the whole thing and let's all just stop and feel sorry for me and let's just tone police the whole thing.
01:38:09.000We're pro-white, we're pro-Christian, we're pro-America, but we love everybody and we do treat everybody with respect and we do think everybody should be treated with dignity.
01:38:18.000And so, yeah, like, it actually does say something about our movement, actually, even though, you know, people might be cynical about it.
01:38:28.000And I also think it does communicate something true, which is, you know, if we are the bad guys, like everybody claims, why is it all about love?
01:38:36.000And why are there a lot of different kinds of people there?
01:38:41.000It's about loving God, loving America, and even the people that are there.
01:38:45.000They understand that it's about white identity also, even if they're not white themselves.
01:38:51.000So, you know... So yeah, I... So yeah, we had a black guy at the speech, and it's awesome, and he looked great, and he had a cape on, and I loved it.
01:44:39.000And these guys worked like day and night for days, weeks, long time.
01:44:45.000And I'm sure they're crushed because we weren't able to put it on.
01:44:50.000They all had a good... I know they all had a good time and they had fun, but... They're working their fingers to the bone just as much as I am.
01:44:57.000Maybe even more to put these things on, so...
01:47:29.000I swear I thought it was like, oh, there's gonna be some like weird, like, brown kid with like a lanyard, like a zip-up hoodie or something.
01:47:34.000I was like, no, no, this is, uh, this guy was like a total chap, so.
01:55:02.000Jake Shields didn't give me anything, so I don't... If he gave it to him, I don't think I got it, but... I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to talk, but thank you anyway.
02:05:52.000I mean I feel like these young people were in such a war for them because on one side young people are being dragged into drugs and degeneracy and all kinds of other fucked up shit and then on this side it's towards no drugs, none of that nonsense, marriage, kids, religion.
02:07:22.000American Hill sent $5, what a weekend Nick.
02:07:25.000Can't wait to do it again later this year, but I have to say this weekend was really special and unforgettable, between the improv rally and the VIP event.
02:11:30.000Bro WTF was up with Cam Higby bro was at the rally throwing up Romans and saying death to Israel I was like go off King Ig but can we stay optical?
02:11:41.000I heard from other people that he was just like totally like yelling about loving Hitler and just like killing everyone I was like get that fucking guy out of here hate that extreme stuff so I heard that from other people I don't know what's going on but that Cameron Higby
02:17:00.000Jared Taylor was giving the speech, and he was like, the adoration of the Negro, and Patriot J was sitting right next to the stage, and he was... I don't know what he thought of the speech, but he was like...
02:22:54.000I don't want to read it out because then people are gonna shoot me a bunch of emails, but it's on my Telegram bio if you want to reach out to me.
02:23:50.000I'm very, look, I don't know much about it.
02:23:53.000I'm very skeptical of it, so I don't feel comfortable giving any kind of advice on that stuff.
02:23:59.000You know, Dan Bilzerian's promoting a lot of that stuff and Tate is doing it.
02:24:03.000I don't know anything about it because I'm just not in that finance world, so I can't really advise you one way or the other.
02:24:13.000Racist Sailor Moon sent $50, a shame FPAC 4 was cancelled, I was really looking forward to seeing Pariah the Doll sing the National Anthem.
02:24:22.000I think that's at Sovereign House though.
02:24:24.000I think you're confusing our event with the Raw Egg Nationalist Man's World thing.
02:24:30.000We don't have trannies in our magazines or whatever.
02:27:00.000So, that's Jews are into that weird shit.
02:27:03.000Nathan Lynch sent $100, the chaotic nature of roaming Detroit with hundreds of grow-uppers, the balcony speech, the after-party, and seeing you get kicked out of Turning Point made the flight from Australia worth it.
02:27:15.000Anyway, I think Keith Woods should give you his reading list to cheer you up.
02:32:22.000The guy, it's a shame because he does have good research, but he's just such an insufferable human being, just like completely detestable, that he cannot be used in any way.
02:35:37.000It's so incredible to me that, like, Chief Trumpster came around during the Griper War and he's outlasted everybody.
02:35:58.000Imagine going, for those of you that have been around, imagine getting in a time machine and going back to 2019 and saying like, out of all the people that are here, Chief Trumpster is going to be the most loyal.
02:36:08.000He's going to be the most hardworking.
02:36:10.000He's going to be the guy that puts his nose to the grindstone.
02:36:13.000He's going to be the guy in the spaces with Don Jr.
02:36:15.000He's going to be the guy in the space with Matt Gaetz.
02:36:17.000He's going to be the guy with 50,000 followers on Twitter or whatever it is.
02:36:21.000He's going to be the guy getting 50 million impressions.
02:36:25.000And that's not to knock you, it's just to say you're anonymous and yet just through pure will and determination you become such a star and such an asset.
02:36:34.000So, you're the man and I love you and I appreciate you.
