00:01:44.000 They, they see America merely as a vessel.
00:01:48.000 I mean, only a class of people so rootless in their transition view America in such a way as merely a vessel for
00:02:12.000 And I'm addicted to the Steratone in Russia.
00:02:17.000 When's it numbin' up, bae?
00:02:18.000 When's it numbin' up, bae?
00:02:21.000 Shit.
00:02:22.000 Just eat a Big Mac, you stupid bitch.
00:02:25.000 Stranger, we can move a country in a piece of cake.
00:02:30.000 No money has to stop your life.
00:02:33.000 It's not a lack of life.
00:02:36.000 Stranger, we can move a country in a piece of cake.
00:03:15.000 One person raised his voice.
00:03:16.000 The teacher couldn't believe it.
00:03:21.000 The classroom couldn't believe it either.
00:06:34.000 We're good.
00:07:28.000 Give me your love.
00:07:31.000 Give me your love.
00:07:59.000 Everybody knows who Nick Fuentes is.
00:08:04.000 Sometimes you go to an event, and you didn't know, oh, that dude, that guy's random.
00:08:07.000 I didn't know he was here, and I didn't know his past things.
00:08:10.000 Everybody knows Fuentes.
00:08:12.000 Jesus, how many of you are like, why are conservatives so much better at politics?
00:08:16.000 Five.
00:08:17.000 No, it's not conservatives, it's just him.
00:08:23.000 The real vanguard of the conservative movement was at a competing adjacent event.
00:08:28.000 Every day and every week and every year that we live in this country, do they care about our health?
00:08:35.000 No!
00:08:57.000 They prescribed poison to us from the pharmaceutical companies.
00:09:02.000 They're poisoning us with the seed oils that we're eating, the high fructose corn syrup.
00:09:08.000 They're poisoning the water with heavy metals, which is in the tap water.
00:09:13.000 They're poisoning us with what's on television and out of Hollywood and pornography.
00:09:19.000 They're poisoning us in every way that you can imagine, but we're supposed to believe.
00:09:23.000 Now, suddenly, they care so much about our public health.
00:09:27.000 That's why they're doing this?
00:09:28.000 Does anybody believe that?
00:09:29.000 No!
00:09:30.000 They don't care about our health.
00:09:33.000 They don't care about the public.
00:09:34.000 They don't care about any of us.
00:09:36.000 What they care about, ultimately, is profits.
00:09:41.000 You're looking for the tyranny coming to America?
00:09:43.000 It's here, right now.
00:09:45.000 Now is the time to take a stand.
00:09:51.000 If we are faced with the question about whether or not we will get the vaccine and surrender and capitulate to the system, a devil-worshipping system that hates us and hate our country, the answer has to be always no.
00:10:45.000 But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.
00:10:49.000 I stop playing games.
00:10:51.000 And at any moment, I can hit that YAY button.
00:10:54.000 They said trust no man, but you obviously ain't foolin' here, y'all.
00:10:58.000 Playin' cards in the dark, but you can't take a drink when girls in the huddle.
00:11:03.000 My mama said trust no hoes, use a rubber, not that.
00:11:08.000 One, two, stop the track.
00:11:09.000 Let me get this in person.
00:11:11.000 Hey.
00:11:11.000 See, Ricky said,
00:11:40.000 Not my words, not my rules, I just enforce them, alright?
00:12:06.000 Everything.
00:12:08.000 Warming up.
00:12:09.000 Everybody dare to evolve.
00:12:36.000 We're good.
00:13:23.000 This is from your biggest Boston fan, may you one day see the light!
00:13:27.000 Well hey, thanks, love you too, but sorry, I believe in a religion that makes sense, so...
00:13:50.000 Let's just call it what it is.
00:13:54.000 The system hates white people.
00:13:57.000 It's just what it is.
00:13:58.000 And everybody wants to call it everything other than that.
00:14:02.000 They want to call it everything other than what it is.
00:14:05.000 You may hear conservatives talk about cultural Marxism.
00:14:09.000 Critical race theory.
00:14:11.000 That's the new one.
00:14:11.000 Gotta ban critical race theory.
00:14:13.000 CRT.
00:14:15.000 And critical race theory has Marxist origins.
00:14:19.000 It's socialism, it's communism, it's anti-western.
00:14:23.000 It's anti-western civilization, anti-western culture.
00:14:26.000 Conservatives even will call it anything other than what it is, because it's not politically correct to say what it is.
00:14:33.000 You can't utter it in polite society, but we all know what it is.
00:14:37.000 It's racial.
00:14:38.000 It's racial hatred.
00:14:41.000 They hate white people.
00:14:42.000 This little boy, Cash Gernon, was murdered, dragged out of his bed in the middle of the night in his home and murdered outside his house in the street by a black man because he was white.
00:14:56.000 That black guy killed a white boy because he was white.
00:15:00.000 And this black guy hated white people.
00:15:02.000 That's why he did it.
00:15:04.000 It was an act of hatred.
00:15:05.000 It wasn't random.
00:15:06.000 It was an act of racial hatred perpetrated by a black male against a white boy.
00:15:12.000 And why is everybody so afraid to call it that?
00:15:14.000 Of course that's what it is.
00:15:16.000 What has been engendered in the population for the past two years?
00:15:20.000 What's been engendered in the population for the past 30 years?
00:15:24.000 Other than anti-white hatred.
00:15:27.000 What are people learning in the schools?
00:15:29.000 When you go to grade school and you go to American history class, what do you learn about?
00:15:34.000 In the new Howard Zinn curriculum, you learn about how white people genocided the indigenous Americans.
00:15:43.000 White people enslaved black people and brought them over here.
00:15:46.000 Once freed by whites, whites mistreated blacks by being racist towards them, terrorizing them with the Ku Klux Klan.
00:15:55.000 Segregating them, making them drink in separate water fountains.
00:15:59.000 We hear about how white supremacist Nazis try to take over the whole world with their fascist ideology in World War II with Adolf Hitler.
00:16:10.000 And it was white.
00:16:11.000 It was because they were Aryan.
00:16:13.000 It's because they were white supremacists.
00:16:16.000 Because they believed in racial purity of the Aryan race.
00:16:19.000 That made them uniquely evil.
00:16:21.000 They perpetrated the Holocaust against Jews.
00:16:24.000 And that was, by far and away, the most obscene, worst genocide ever in the history of the world.
00:16:29.000 And then, when all was said and done, white people were racist to the Muslims that blew up the World Trade Center.
00:16:35.000 White people are racist to black criminals and the police.
00:16:40.000 Basically, people are bred from cradle until grave thinking that white people are uniquely evil people.
00:16:47.000 White people bear a special guilt for all the problems of this country, all the problems of every other group, and really, like, all the problems of humanity.
00:16:57.000 And that's a guilt that is ancestral, it's not individual, everyone has it, and you can never overcome it.
00:17:05.000 There's no clear way, discernibly, that you can ever overcome it and ever achieve equality with these non-white people.
00:17:14.000 And it's as a consequence of this that these things are becoming more and more common.
00:17:21.000 White people are being dehumanized.
00:17:23.000 And when white people are dehumanized, black people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human.
00:17:31.000 And other people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human.
00:17:36.000 How much do you want to bet that this, uh, whatever his name is, Darren Brown, whatever, was radicalized by the media into thinking that white people are racist and responsible for his suffering, not just as a black man, but as a gay man too.
00:17:52.000 And that he committed this crime in retaliation for that perceived prejudice, perceived hatred against him.
00:18:00.000 That's the consequence of all this anti-white hatred and dehumanization in the media, education system, and it's even enshrined in the law systematically through the government.
00:18:10.000 I mean, what do you think affirmative action is?
00:18:13.000 And a lot of white people don't want to talk about it now.
00:18:16.000 They don't want to address it.
00:18:17.000 They want to pretend that that's not the case because
00:18:21.000 Honestly, I think a lot of white people think that it's beneath them.
00:18:24.000 I think that white people think that it's our job to be better, to strive towards a post-racial society, that we ought not to notice race, and we should try not to notice race, that it's a good thing to aspire to, to not notice race.
00:18:39.000 I think that white people are under the impression that to be cognizant of race, and to mention it and act like it matters, is beneath us, like it's backwards, it's regressive, it's primitive.
00:18:53.000 And a big part of that, too, is because white people have, I think, internalized a lot of what the media says about us, which is that, well, we're on top of the world, so what do we really have to complain about?
00:19:04.000 But here's the problem.
00:19:06.000 This is not going to be a white country forever.
00:19:10.000 And it's not going to be a white country for very much longer.
00:19:12.000 In a lot of places, it already isn't.
00:19:17.000 And in a lot of ways it already isn't a white country anymore.
00:19:21.000 And as the percentage and proportion of white people diminishes in America relative to non-white people, it's going to become more and more of a problem for white people that non-white people don't like us.
00:19:34.000 It's just that simple.
00:19:36.000 Just think about it in these simple terms.
00:19:39.000 The media attacks white people.
00:19:41.000 They say that white people cause the suffering of non-white people.
00:19:44.000 Increasingly, non-white people don't like white people.
00:19:47.000 Nobody talks about that.
00:19:49.000 But we know that non-white people largely regard white people with suspicion, distrust, and in some cases just don't like them, hate them.
00:19:56.000 Nobody wants to say that.
00:19:58.000 People are very comfortable talking about racism against blacks or other non-whites, but nobody talks about the distrust, nobody talks about the resentment that non-white people have for white people in the country.
00:20:10.000 And it's not everybody, but it is a lot of people, and everyone knows that.
00:20:15.000 As the population becomes less and less white, and as the people in charge of the country, and the people enforcing the laws of the people of the country, in charge of the country, become less and less white, that's going to matter a lot more.
00:20:45.000 Thanks for watching!
00:21:12.000 The people that run our federal government, they hate you.
00:21:16.000 They hate us.
00:21:18.000 They hate the people of this country.
00:21:24.000 Because we believe in Almighty God.
00:21:27.000 So we're willing to drink death like water if we have to.
00:22:08.000 So it's a decision.
00:22:11.000 Slavery is a choice.
00:22:12.000 Greatness is a choice.
00:22:15.000 Compliance is a choice.
00:22:16.000 I choose to be a free man.
00:22:21.000 If you want to try and put us in a concentration camp, if you want to take our rights, I'd say come and try it.

00:24:03.000 We're good.
00:24:58.000 When you remove the fear and love of God, you create the fear and love of everything else.
00:25:04.000 You talking to somebody right now that only fears God and Jesus has won the victory, bro.
00:25:24.000 We're good.
00:26:20.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo.
00:26:26.000 It's going to be only America first.
00:26:31.000 America first.
00:26:36.000 The American people will come first once again.
00:27:05.000 America first!
00:28:42.000 Good evening everybody.
00:28:43.000 You are watching America First.
00:28:45.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.
00:28:47.000 We have a great show for you tonight.
00:28:49.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Thursday.
00:28:53.000 We have a lot to talk about, lots to get into tonight.
00:28:57.000 Our featured story is about the Ukraine war.
00:29:00.000 We're talking about oil and natural gas.
00:29:04.000 We were going to cover this last night, but then I got a little bit carried away talking about Mark Levin and China.
00:29:12.000 So tonight our featured story is about the gas crisis which is about to happen in Europe.
00:29:18.000 And we talked about this I think either last week or the beginning of this week, but in case you missed it, Tsar Putin is now weaponizing natural gas against NATO and the European countries.
00:29:33.000 And so Putin now wants all European countries, which he considers unfriendly, to pay for their natural gas in rubles.
00:29:43.000 And this is in response to the United States and NATO's sanction on rubles, which is the Russian currency.
00:29:50.000 The Europeans refuse to do it, so Russia says they're going to cut off their gas.
00:29:54.000 So that's the big news.
00:29:55.000 We'll talk about that tonight.
00:29:57.000 We'll also talk about German gas rationing, which is about to go into effect.
00:30:03.000 The Germans know this is what's going to happen.
00:30:05.000 They get most of their natural gas from Russia.
00:30:08.000 They rely on the gas.
00:30:10.000 And it may be turned off very soon and the United States can't make up the difference.
00:30:16.000 So we'll talk about that too and if we have time we'll get into our story about general inflation which we're all supposed to cover yesterday but again ran out of time.
00:30:27.000 So I mean it should be a pretty good show it's just I don't know the news just feels kind of slow these days this Russia-Ukraine thing it's been going on now for a month and there's no huge developments.
00:30:40.000 I guess the Russians are putting in place something like a temporary ceasefire.
00:30:45.000 They're pulling back some of their forces into Belarus.
00:30:50.000 While the Russians pursue peace talks with the Ukrainians, moderated by Turkey.
00:30:56.000 So it seems like it's almost wrapped up.
00:31:00.000 And we covered, it was maybe Monday or Tuesday, Zelensky's giving up on NATO membership, giving up on nuclear status.
00:31:07.000 So it seems like it's winding down and I miss it.
00:31:12.000 I honestly, I miss it.
00:31:13.000 I miss the heyday of the Ukraine war.
00:31:16.000 I'm hoping that the peace talks fall through.
00:31:20.000 Honestly, I'm kind of hoping the peace talks fall through.
00:31:25.000 And we get a resumption of hostilities and war because at least it'll give us something interesting to talk about on the show.
00:31:35.000 So anyway, that's gonna be our show tonight.
00:31:37.000 Remember to follow me on Gabin Telegram.
00:31:39.000 Links are down below.
00:31:40.000 Follow me right here on Cozy.
00:31:43.000 We just hit 16,000 followers earlier this week and we're already at 16.1k so...
00:31:51.000 I don't know what's going on.
00:31:52.000 I don't know if there's like a new audience watching the show.
00:31:54.000 Maybe since my debate with Destiny, I'm thinking maybe it's got something to do with that.
00:31:59.000 Because people have been pouring into the Telegram and the Cozy Channel lately.
00:32:04.000 And I don't really know where the growth is coming from.
00:32:08.000 I think maybe it's just like I said it's a new audience tuning in maybe people that don't normally watch the show maybe they found it after the debate or maybe people are interested after the debate either way make sure you hit the follow button you'll get a push notification whenever I go live and those are all our announcements I have to say we had a little bit of a weird show last night and I don't know how many of you tuned in yesterday but
00:32:36.000 It always works out this way.
00:32:38.000 Yesterday I'm complaining about how slow the news is, and I'm saying, man, it's such a boring day, nothing's going on, this sucks.
00:32:46.000 And then I get SWATed live on the show, which has never happened to me before.
00:32:52.000 I've been doing this show now for more than five years, and my address has been out there since 2018.
00:32:59.000 And nothing like that has ever happened, so... I guess I can't say that it's gonna be a boring show anymore.
00:33:06.000 It seems like whenever I say that, I always invite problems.
00:33:09.000 I say, yeah, a really boring show gets shot, you know, gets killed instantly, dies instantly.
00:33:16.000 How's that for an interesting show, right?
00:33:18.000 So...
00:33:19.000 So anyway, yeah, I don't know what that was all about yesterday, but it's been happening.
00:33:24.000 It happened to, of course we know it's been happening to Baked Alaska, it happened to Dalton this week, happened to Jayden at the same time, and it has also been happening actually to Tim Poole, who's not even in our sphere.
00:33:39.000 He's not on this site, I've never talked to him, and he seems to be having the same issues, so I don't know what that's all about, but
00:33:48.000 Hey, knock on wood, I'm okay, I'm safe.
00:33:50.000 I know a lot of people were worried, but it was a very, I mean at least for me it was a non-event.
00:33:57.000 I heard for Dalton they shut down like the whole, the whole neighborhood.
00:34:00.000 They shut down the whole block.
00:34:02.000 For me, I mean it was like a total non, it was a total non-event, but anyway.
00:34:08.000 It was kind of an interesting show yesterday, but it just goes to show they will do anything to stop this show.
00:34:14.000 It's kind of amazing, and
00:34:17.000 They just try harder and harder every day and every week and just nothing, nothing is working.
00:34:23.000 You know?
00:34:25.000 And it's really intensified over the past year and a half, you know that, ever since January 6th, that's been the no-fly list, they took my money, they banned me from DLive, they banned me from my payment processor, like I got banned from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, they keep banning us on Discord, they keep banning us on everything, and then they write the hit pieces, and then they try and go after the cozy services, and then
00:34:51.000 And now they're just straight up like, hey, can the police come kill Nick Fuentes?
00:34:55.000 Hello, police!
00:34:57.000 Come kill Nick Fuentes right now, you know what I mean?
00:35:00.000 So, hey, if we're getting that much flack, you know, I know I've sort of tried to say this now, everybody says this, but if you're taking flack, it means you're over the target.
00:35:09.000 That's when you get the most heat, so...
00:35:13.000 I guess it just goes to show.
00:35:14.000 We really are unstoppable, though, when you think about it.
00:35:17.000 Because they, I mean, they hate that this show is even allowed to be broadcast every night.
00:35:23.000 They tried so hard to prevent even that from happening.
00:35:27.000 And if I were anybody else, they would have succeeded, because I got banned from all live streaming services, even the back-end services.
00:35:35.000 I mean, I can't stream on any platform, and then I also can't use an actual CDN live stream service anywhere either.
00:35:44.000 And if I didn't go out and build my own website, I just would be out of luck.
00:35:47.000 I couldn't even stream the show.
00:35:49.000 And every day that this show is live, they hate that.
00:35:52.000 They hate it, they wish it wasn't so, and then they work on all our other activities.
00:35:57.000 You know, the conference, and the Super Chats, and all our political alliances.
00:36:05.000 Our personnel, they're going after, there's a big report about our personnel the other day and they thought that was gonna do a big... There was this little hit piece that was published the other day and it was a behemoth.
00:36:14.000 It was like, it was really long and completely convoluted.
00:36:19.000 And I saw one of those, one of those far-right beat journalists said something like, oh man, this is, this is it!
00:36:26.000 This is it for them!
00:36:28.000 I think it was a right-wing watch hit piece and like no one even cared.
00:36:33.000 Nobody even cared.
00:36:34.000 I didn't see it.
00:36:35.000 I don't think one person posted about it on Gab.
00:36:37.000 I didn't see anything about it on 4chan So, I mean they're trying bless their hearts.
00:36:42.000 They are trying but not really succeeding.
00:36:45.000 So Anyway, but yeah, I'm safe.
00:36:49.000 I'm good and the show goes on, you know And it was funny because everybody in all my group chats.
00:36:55.000 Everybody was like, oh my gosh, what's going on?
00:36:58.000 Are you okay?
00:37:00.000 and honestly, I
00:37:01.000 I appreciate it.
00:37:02.000 It's nice to know people care about me like that.
00:37:06.000 But I just go back on the show.
00:37:07.000 I'm like, hey, yeah, what the heck?
00:37:09.000 I just got swatted.
00:37:11.000 Anyway, right back into the Super Chats.
00:37:14.000 Everybody's like, oh my gosh, are you okay?
00:37:16.000 I was worried sick.
00:37:18.000 So it's kind of funny.
00:37:19.000 Yeah, nothing can stop the show.
00:37:21.000 Show must go on.
00:37:22.000 So yeah, we're back.
00:37:25.000 But yeah, we got a good show.
00:37:27.000 I don't really have too much to report other than that.
00:37:29.000 I did a Minecraft stream last night.
00:37:32.000 You know, I did my show.
00:37:33.000 And then just to kind of stick it to them, I'm like, you know what?
00:37:36.000 Not only am I gonna do my show, but I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna stream until 4 a.m.
00:37:40.000 because you can't take this show off the air!
00:37:44.000 So yesterday, you know, I did my show.
00:37:46.000 It was a shorter show.
00:37:47.000 I was interrupted.
00:37:48.000 And then I said, you know what?
00:37:50.000 Fuck them.
00:37:51.000 I'm going back.
00:37:52.000 I'm going to do a, you know, 10 hour Minecraft stream.
00:37:55.000 5 hours, whatever.
00:37:57.000 Just to say, yeah, excuse me.
00:38:00.000 So I did a gaming stream last night.
00:38:02.000 I went to bed real late.
00:38:03.000 Woke up real late.
00:38:05.000 I gotta tell you, I don't really enjoy the gaming streams.
00:38:08.000 I just don't.
00:38:09.000 I don't really like it.
00:38:10.000 I don't like- everybody always criticizes my gaming.
00:38:14.000 I'm playing Minecraft, and everybody- oh, your build looks like shit.
00:38:19.000 Oh, you play Minecraft like a noob.
00:38:21.000 Oh, you're not even- it's like, seriously?
00:38:25.000 I just can't, I can't, like, I am, okay?
00:38:27.000 I'm not a gamer.
00:38:28.000 I am not a very skilled gamer, alright?
00:38:32.000 So stop rubbing it in my face.
00:38:34.000 I'm not pretending to be.
00:38:37.000 So, it's really not even deserved.
00:38:39.000 But every time I go live, everybody's all over me.
00:38:41.000 Whoa, he doesn't know the recipe for a torch.
00:38:44.000 Oh, he doesn't know.
00:38:48.000 And then, I play Valorant, and oh, he aims like a woman.
00:38:52.000 Oh, wow, you choke, wow, you're terrible.
00:38:57.000 So, I'm just, I'm sucking at the game, people are shitting on me in the live chat that I'm sucking in the game more, and I'm like, you know what?
00:39:07.000 Alright, you know what?
00:39:08.000 That's enough.
00:39:09.000 You wanted a gaming stream?
00:39:10.000 Well, now you ruined it.
00:39:12.000 Now it's over.
00:39:13.000 Now I'm pissed off.
00:39:15.000 It's 5am, I'm tired, I'm going to bed.
00:39:19.000 So I think that's my last gaming stream for a while.
00:39:22.000 Maybe I'll do a commentary stream?
00:39:24.000 Because then I can just go and I don't have to read the live chat.
00:39:29.000 But you know what?
00:39:30.000 This antagonism with the live chat, it's reached a boiling point, okay?
00:39:36.000 I can't look at the live chat anymore.
00:39:37.000 I don't know why.
00:39:40.000 I guess I just used to never look at it.
00:39:42.000 Now I look at it and I just see, I'm seething.
00:39:45.000 Yeah, I'm absolutely seething about the live chat.
00:39:50.000 The messages people post, it drives me insane.
00:39:54.000 It's not funny.
00:39:55.000 It's not, they're not being real.
00:39:57.000 It's just like, just a bunch of silly shit.
00:40:01.000 I can't take it anymore.
00:40:02.000 I don't know.
00:40:03.000 Am I too old?
00:40:04.000 Have I been doing this too long?
00:40:06.000 Am I just tightly wound?
00:40:07.000 Maybe I'm just stressed out?
00:40:09.000 I don't know.
00:40:10.000 I look at the live chat lately and I'm just like, you know what?
00:40:14.000 We need to shut the mouths of the live chatters once and for all.
00:40:18.000 So, it's on site.
00:40:20.000 Me and the live chat are at war now, okay?
00:40:23.000 No more mis... I'm not looking at the live chat!
00:40:25.000 We are not cool, okay?
00:40:29.000 I don't know what happened.
00:40:30.000 Maybe it's been like this for years.
00:40:32.000 I feel like it's gotten worse, but I look at the live chat.
00:40:35.000 Maybe I'm just grumpy.
00:40:38.000 I guess I've been feeling grumpy with everybody lately, but especially with live chat.
00:40:42.000 I look at it and I just I can't take it.
00:40:45.000 So I'm just not gonna look at it.
00:40:48.000 I'm just not gonna look at it.
00:40:49.000 Okay, criticize me all you want.
00:40:53.000 I'm not gonna read it.
00:40:54.000 You're just screaming into the void, so... Anyway, so I tried to do a gaming stream.
00:41:00.000 Everybody's always saying, hey, when are you gonna do a gaming stream?
00:41:04.000 And then you bully me, okay?
00:41:06.000 Then you pick on me, and then you bully me, and then you wonder why I don't do a gaming stream for six months.
00:41:15.000 So anyway, so it didn't really work out.
00:41:19.000 Maybe I just need a vacation.
00:41:20.000 Maybe I need to take a week off.
00:41:23.000 And ease my troubled mind because... Yeah, lately I just can't handle the banter.
00:41:31.000 Lately I just can't even handle... I'm getting... I'm getting griped by my own audience.
00:41:38.000 So...
00:41:40.000 I don't know.
00:41:41.000 I don't know what to do now with the live chat.
00:41:43.000 But I'm not reading it, that's for sure.
00:41:46.000 I'm sticking to my Google Docs window and I'm just not even going to look at it.
00:41:50.000 But anyway, so that was my stream yesterday.
00:41:54.000 I really just did it out of spite.
00:41:55.000 I was like, you know what?
00:41:57.000 No, the show goes on.
00:41:59.000 We're going to do a Minecraft stream.
00:42:02.000 And I might stream tonight, maybe tomorrow.
00:42:05.000 I was just listening to, there was this NPR podcast about me.
00:42:10.000 And somebody forwarded it to me in a group chat and I just got a chance to listen to like 15 minutes of it before the show.
00:42:17.000 NPR did a podcast about the American right-wing's affinity for Russia and the whole podcast was about me.
00:42:26.000 And it's the usual stuff, but I thought maybe I could listen to that.
00:42:30.000 I still want to go over my debate with Destiny.
00:42:34.000 I still want to watch that and cover it point by point.
00:42:36.000 That'll be a lot of content, because that was a two-hour debate.
00:42:40.000 And when I review something, if it's a two-hour video, I'll spend an additional two hours on it.
00:42:45.000 So that's like a four-hour stream just doing that.
00:42:48.000 So I'd still like to do that at some point, even though it seems a little stale now.
00:42:53.000 And I'm trying to think and let me know if there's any other maybe in the super chats Let me know if there's any other content you want me to review I'd like to do a I'd like to do a commentary stream But I'm just not watching enough content to get to get any material for it Because I've just been busy with other things So if there's anything you want me to watch let me know and I think I'll try to do one either tonight or maybe tomorrow
00:43:17.000 And then, coming up, Saturday we're doing a VALORANT tournament, so I will probably stream that.
00:43:24.000 We'll be doing a VALORANT tournament Saturday night, and it'll be me, VEDA, UX, Wurzelroot on a team, and I think Jaden and Jimbo are playing in it, Beardson's in it.
00:43:35.000 A lot of gripers are getting involved.
00:43:37.000 So we'll be doing a gaming tournament Saturday and then Sunday We may be streaming a game as well.
00:43:43.000 So there's a lot of content on the horizon.
00:43:44.000 We're just we're having some fun So I forgot to tell you about that, but yeah that's going on this weekend so
00:43:52.000 So I'm just trying to, you know, because lately it feels like the show format is kind of restrictive.
00:43:58.000 I want to kind of branch out.
00:43:59.000 I think this year we're going to experiment a little bit with the format of the show.
00:44:04.000 Maybe try some new shows.
00:44:05.000 And you know, I haven't reached out to them yet, but I heard that Destiny was thinking about doing a podcast.
00:44:14.000 And he said, well, you know, I want to do a podcast with someone smart and someone I disagree with.
00:44:18.000 He goes, and I don't think Vosh would do it.
00:44:21.000 And he brought up my name and Lauren Southern's name.
00:44:27.000 And I sat back and I was thinking about it and I said, hmm, Destiny, Lauren Southern, and Nick Fuentes.
00:44:34.000 And I said, hmm, hmm.
00:44:37.000 Destiny, Lauren Southern, Nick Fuentes on a podcast.
00:44:42.000 And the more that I thought about it, honestly, I thought, I think that would be a very good show.
00:44:48.000 I think that would be very entertaining because people really like to see me interact with the other side.
00:44:55.000 I always think that's the best content.
00:44:57.000 I mean, I can do the show, and I think I do a good monologue, and I think I'm engaging enough by myself, but people really like the
00:45:07.000 We're good to go!
00:45:38.000 I think that's when you get the best content is when there's when there's disagreement and I think when there's sort of like a contentious thing because I know I mean I don't think my audience is big Lauren Southern fans or Destiny fans but that's okay I think that makes it a lot more fun you know it's like the same dynamic that me and Sydney Watson had it's the same dynamic you know that I had with I'm trying to think is if there was anybody else recently like that
00:46:06.000 I don't know.
00:46:07.000 I do the show and I like to comment about the news, but I kind of want to experiment and try doing things a little differently.
00:46:16.000 So I'd like to experiment with this show and then maybe try some other forms of content.
00:46:21.000 Um, because now that we have this platform, really we can do things that we never thought were possible before.
00:46:28.000 We have a real community here.
00:46:30.000 We're not censored.
00:46:31.000 We're building our own technological infrastructure.
00:46:35.000 And so there's a lot of possibilities now.
00:46:38.000 Where you can get these different kinds of combinations.
00:46:40.000 You could get right and left.
00:46:42.000 You could get lots of people on one stream.
00:46:44.000 You could get the cozy community doing a gaming thing or a debate thing.
00:46:48.000 So there's a lot of possibilities now that didn't exist a year ago, which I think is really interesting to explore.
00:46:56.000 So I think there's lots of potential for crossovers, collaborations, debates.
00:47:02.000 All of that and I'd really like to go back to putting the content first.
00:47:07.000 I just, you know, you get so busy doing AFPAC and we're running candidates and there's there's so much work to be done and then the content is kind of on a back burner.
00:47:16.000 I'd like to reprioritize the content a little bit this year.
00:47:19.000 So anyway, so that's just some of the things I've been thinking about but
00:47:25.000 We're going to dive into the show.
00:47:27.000 So our first story is about gas rationing.
00:47:30.000 Well, you know what?
00:47:30.000 Actually, I'll start with the Russian proposal here.
00:47:35.000 So, as you know, Russia is entering, I think, week 5 or 6 of their war in Ukraine.
00:47:43.000 We're all very familiar, I believe, at this point with the details.
00:47:46.000 The United States and NATO has responded with an unprecedented sanctions regime against Russia.
00:47:53.000 We know that the United States and NATO powers cannot intervene directly in the conflict, so they have taken unprecedented steps to isolate the Russian economy.
00:48:04.000 And so you have all the usual kinds of sanctions.
00:48:06.000 They've sanctioned the Russian elites.
00:48:08.000 They have sanctioned certain Russian exports.
00:48:14.000 They've also taken further steps with monetary policy and they've seized Russia's foreign currency reserves.
00:48:21.000 They have banned Russian banks from interfacing with the international banking system.
00:48:27.000 And they have banned or they have stopped buying rubles and prevented Russia from converting rubles into U.S.
00:48:34.000 dollars.
00:48:35.000 And this is a big problem for Russia.
00:48:36.000 This is an unprecedented and shocking step the way in which the currency has been weaponized because the United States dollar is the reserve and the reference currency of the world.
00:48:47.000 So all countries will have to buy dollars and use dollars to denominate their international trade with any other country.
00:48:55.000 And so therefore, really all global trade is going through the jurisdiction of the United States.
00:49:02.000 Because the US dollar is the reference currency for deals between countries, or it's the actual medium of exchange of trade between countries, that means that all countries, hostile or friendly, will have to go through the United States and the United States monetary jurisdiction to conduct all their trade, their exports, their imports, all their deals.
00:49:26.000 This is a big step, and this is a big step to isolating Russia.
00:49:30.000 As a consequence of this weaponization of the dollar, the ruble, which is the Russian currency, went down 50% in value, 50% against the dollar.
00:49:41.000 Before the war, it used to trade at about 85 or 80 against the dollar, so you could get 80 or 85 rubles for every dollar.
00:49:50.000 And then at the height of the war, in the weeks after, the monetary
00:49:55.000 We're good to go!
00:50:22.000 They'll have to buy rubles so they'll have to give their euros or their dollars to Russia in exchange for rubles and then we'll have to buy the natural gas in rubles.
00:50:31.000 And this is a very smart move here because
00:50:35.000 WESTERN EUROPE IS COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON RUSSIAN NATURAL GAS.
00:50:39.000 THEY ARE COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON RUSSIAN ENERGY.
00:50:42.000 THEY GET SOME NATURAL GAS FROM THE SCANDINAVIAN COUNTRIES.
00:50:46.000 THEY GET SOME LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS FROM THE UNITED STATES.
00:50:50.000 BUT, ULTIMATELY, THOSE PRODUCERS JUST CANNOT KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND OF WESTERN EUROPE.
00:50:57.000 They rely on the natural gas that is pumped through Ukraine and pumped through the Nordic Sea in Russian pipelines to supply their energy needs specifically in the winter.
00:51:10.000 And some of the countries that are the most dependent are countries like Germany.
00:51:13.000 And Germany is, in Europe, really the backbone of the NATO alliance.
00:51:18.000 So, you have this very delicate situation where NATO is declaring an economic war on Russia while ultimately being economically dependent on Russia for its vital needs.
00:51:29.000 And energy is one of the most vital needs for an economy.
00:51:32.000 So, Russia is exploiting that dependency and saying, you know, yeah, you tried, you tried to sanction Russia, but if you want our natural gas, then you need to keep our currency afloat.
00:51:45.000 And so, they really have no other option.
00:51:48.000 Germany needs the natural gas from Russia, France...
00:51:51.000 The other countries, they need the natural gas from Russia, and so that means they have to do business in rubles.
00:51:57.000 And that means that they, by buying the natural gas in rubles, are going to have to prop up the value of the ruble.
00:52:03.000 And so just since that policy was announced, the ruble has stabilized at just 15% below what it was trading at before the war.
00:52:12.000 That's compared to 50% below where it was before the war, at the height of the war, three weeks ago.
00:52:19.000 So we talked about that actually I think on Monday or last week, but there's been a new development.
00:52:27.000 The Europeans got together last week.
00:52:29.000 There were three conferences.
00:52:31.000 There was the G20 summit, the European Union conference, and the NATO summit.
00:52:37.000 We're good to go!
00:52:52.000 The Europeans need the energy, and the Russians need the money that they get from the sale of the energy.
00:52:58.000 Russia, in particular, needs the money because they need to finance the war, and the Europeans need the energy because if they don't, energy will become very expensive, there will be shortages, and they're already experiencing very high inflation.
00:53:14.000 So both countries can't really afford to go all the way.
00:53:17.000 Russia cannot afford to lose the sale of the natural gas, and Germany in particular, but also the United States and Western Europe, cannot afford the inflation and the energy shortages.
00:53:29.000 So Russia says, well, you know,
00:53:32.000 I'm gonna force you into this double bind you either you either finance our war or you're out of energy the Europeans are saying no I'm not gonna buy your rubles we're not gonna finance the war so you can turn off our gas but then you can't finance the war so then the Russians came back and they said okay all right well
00:53:50.000 Then we'll shut off your gas.
00:54:06.000 If the Europeans are not buying the natural gas in rubles, the natural gas will be shut off.
00:54:12.000 And Germany, which gets 40% of its natural gas from Russia, they will now not get any natural gas from Russia at all, which is like a huge catastrophe.
00:54:22.000 So this is the article.
00:54:23.000 This is from BBC.
00:54:24.000 It says, quote,
00:54:26.000 Russia has told unfriendly foreign countries they must start paying for gas and rubles or it will cut supplies.
00:54:33.000 Vladimir Putin has signed a decree stating that buyers must open ruble accounts in Russian banks starting Friday.
00:54:41.000 He said, quote, nobody sells us anything for free and we're not going to do charity either.
00:54:46.000 That is, existing contracts will be stopped.
00:54:50.000 Mr. Putin's demand is being seen as an attempt to boost the ruble which has been hit by Western sanctions.
00:54:56.000 His decree means foreign buyers of Russian gas would have to open an account at Russia's Gazprom bank and transfer euros or US dollars into it.
00:55:06.000 Gasprom Bank would then convert this into rubles which will then be used to make the payment for gas.
00:55:11.000 Although the order comes into effect for gas exported from Friday onwards, the payments for that gas will not be paid by European buyers until mid-May.
00:55:21.000 That suggests there may not be an immediate threat to supplies.
00:55:25.000 Mr. Putin said the switch to rubles was meant to strengthen Russia's sovereignty and it would stick to its obligations on all contracts if Western nations obliged.
00:55:35.000 Germany said the change announced by Mr. Putin amounted to blackmail.
00:55:39.000 Since Russia invaded Ukraine, Western nations have issued economic and trading sanctions on Russia, but the European Union has not placed bans on oil or gas, unlike the U.S.
00:55:50.000 and Canada.
00:55:51.000 The European Union gets about 40% of its gas and 30% of its oil from Russia and has no easy substitutes if supplies are disrupted.
00:55:59.000 Meanwhile Russia gets 400 million euros per day from gas sales to the bloc and it has no way of rerouting the supply to other markets.
00:56:10.000 So this is where we are now and
00:56:14.000 I really like to see this because Russia is demonstrating to the world what sovereignty, what meaningful sovereignty looks like.
00:56:25.000 And what do I mean by this?
00:56:27.000 If you are 100% reliant on the United States for something like money, as an example, international trade, you can't really say that you're a completely independent nation.
00:56:41.000 Because of course, here's a perfect example.
00:56:45.000 Russia has a foreign policy about its western border with Ukraine that Ukraine cannot join NATO.
00:56:53.000 Ukraine didn't listen, so Russia took action.
00:56:55.000 And this is what a truly sovereign nation can do.
00:56:58.000 A truly sovereign nation can launch its own military interventions.
00:57:03.000 The United States says that's the worst thing ever, we don't use the military, this isn't the 19th century.
00:57:08.000 But the United States does this all the time, with impunity.
00:57:12.000 The United States invaded Afghanistan in 2001, invaded Iraq in 2003, they facilitated regime change in Libya in 2011, they put American troops in Syria in 2013 and 2014.
00:57:25.000 The United States does military interventions all around the world, and we have military bases all around the world, and we have aircraft carriers all around the world, and we operate all around the world.
00:57:36.000 Because we're a sovereign, we are a truly sovereign nation.
00:57:39.000 You could argue, you know, who is really in charge in America, but the American regime has military assets everywhere and they conduct interventions where they can, when they want to, without anyone's permission.
00:57:53.000 Well, that is what Russia is doing.
00:57:55.000 Russia intervened in Syria, in the Syrian Civil War, and now they're intervening in Ukraine.
00:58:00.000 And the United States says, oh no, you can't do that.
00:58:03.000 This violates international norms.
00:58:05.000 We're gonna punish you!
00:58:07.000 And only, of course, a superior is in a position to punish somebody.
00:58:11.000 Equals cannot punish each other.
00:58:13.000 I mean, they can retaliate, and they can engage in hostilities, but for the United States to say, well, we're punishing you, and we're standing up to you, and these kinds of things, it implies that, well, ultimately, we're in charge of Russia.
00:58:26.000 We make the rules, and we're in charge of everybody.
00:58:29.000 So if Russia is completely dependent on the United States for all of its international trade, including its export of energy, and Russia is effectively a petrostate, meaning that its export of energy, specifically oil and natural gas, is the source of its revenue, if it's dependent on the United States to do that, to export its energy, it is not a truly independent state.
00:58:52.000 It is not a truly sovereign country.
00:58:55.000 And that is really the tension which is at the heart of the entire conflict.
00:59:00.000 What is the world order?
00:59:02.000 Is the world order going to be American global domination and America controls the actions of every country?
00:59:09.000 And every country is under the control of America?
00:59:13.000 And if they step out of line, then they'll be isolated, they'll be ostracized, their international trade will be shut down, their regime will be attacked, there'll be a revolution in the streets fostered by American intel agencies.
00:59:26.000 That's the tension that's at the heart of this entire debate, is sovereignty.
00:59:30.000 Does Russia, as now a global power, does it have the sovereignty to conduct its own independent foreign policy?
00:59:39.000 And it has to be fought for.
00:59:41.000 They've got to pay for that.
00:59:43.000 They've got to pay for that with sanctions.
00:59:45.000 They've got to pay for that with this military intervention in Ukraine to keep NATO out.
00:59:51.000 They're paying for it.
00:59:53.000 But it's worth it.
00:59:55.000 It's worth it for Russia to do this.
00:59:57.000 It's worth it for Russia to demonstrate this.
01:00:00.000 And when they're using their leverage against Europe, I think that's actually a very positive development here because it's a little bit hypocritical for the United States and its allies to say, oh, you know, we're standing up to Putin!
01:00:13.000 We put in place the worst sanctions ever!
01:00:16.000 And think about it this way.
01:00:19.000 Germany, France, the European Union countries, they're 100% dependent on Russia for energy.
01:00:27.000 And Russia is, in a sense, dependent on the sale of that energy, as I just said a moment ago.
01:00:36.000 And so the Europeans are saying, well, we're going to ban all Russian exports except for the stuff we really need.
01:00:43.000 We're going to ban the export of all these other goods and services, but not the oil.
01:00:50.000 Not the natural gas.
01:00:51.000 You know, the stuff that actually matters.
01:00:53.000 The stuff that heats our homes.
01:00:56.000 The stuff that fuels our cars.
01:00:57.000 The stuff that fuels the entire economy.
01:01:00.000 We are still going to give Russia 400 million euros per day to buy that.
01:01:05.000 And so isn't that a little bit hypocritical?
01:01:06.000 Because you hear from all these governments and you hear from all these liberals.
01:01:11.000 They talk about how Russia's invasion in Ukraine is the worst thing ever.
01:01:15.000 It's a tragedy.
01:01:16.000 He's committing war crimes.
01:01:17.000 He's a butcher.
01:01:18.000 He's a murderer.
01:01:19.000 But then you're paying Russia 400 million euros per day.
01:01:24.000 So, you go up and you give a great big speech about how he's the worst dictator since Hitler, and this is the biggest war on the continent since World War II, and he's a war criminal, and he kills children, and pregnant women, and homosexuals, and the Chechens are there to rape all the women.
01:01:38.000 Oh, but we're... But then they go back to the Treasury Ministry, and they give him 400 million euros per day.
01:01:46.000 Why not stop buying the oil?
01:01:48.000 Why not stop buying the natural gas?
01:01:51.000 Well, because if they were to do that, well then, they would actually have to pay the price for their self-righteousness, for their moral grandstanding.
01:02:02.000 For all these really tough words and all the big rhetoric, all this self-righteous chest-thumping, they're still giving Russia 400 million euros per day and drinking up their oil and drinking up their natural gas.
01:02:18.000 And if they really meant what they said, if they really believed that stuff, well that would be blood money!
01:02:24.000 That would be blood-fueling.
01:02:26.000 Your house is heated in Ukrainian blood!
01:02:29.000 I mean, and honestly, we should really hold them accountable.
01:02:33.000 Okay, okay, Scholz, the new minister in Germany.
01:02:37.000 Okay, Macron.
01:02:38.000 Okay, everybody, you know, Boris Johnson, all these tough guys, all these self-righteous, these angels.
01:02:46.000 From the liberal democracies of the world, you think Putin's a murderer?
01:02:50.000 Put your money where your mouth is.
01:02:52.000 Literally.
01:02:53.000 Stop buying their oil and natural gas then.
01:02:56.000 Well, they won't do that.
01:02:58.000 They won't do that because, well, in some sense they simply cannot afford to.
01:03:04.000 But that's because it would be very, very costly.
01:03:06.000 It would be costly monetarily and it would be costly politically.
01:03:10.000 If they wanted to shut Russia down, they know what they have to do.
01:03:13.000 Stop buying new oil and natural gas, but they won't do that.
01:03:16.000 Because then gas prices go up, then energy prices go up, heat goes up.
01:03:21.000 For the people in the country, for the voters, for the government,
01:03:27.000 And then suddenly the people of Germany aren't so pleased after all, which the policy, you know, we support Ukraine, we stand with Ukraine, but not if we're paying 40% more for energy, not if we're paying $7 per gallon, which is what it is in Italy for a gallon of gas.
01:03:45.000 Suddenly it's not so easy for the self-righteousness.
01:03:48.000 But here's the difference.
01:03:50.000 The same is true with Russia.
01:03:53.000 For Russia to exert its sovereignty in Eastern Europe, they too have to incur a cost.
01:03:58.000 Because when the Western governments sanction Russia, when the Russian currency takes a hit, Russia is going through economic pain of its own.
01:04:07.000 All the major companies pulled out.
01:04:09.000 Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Facebook, McDonald's, Nike.
01:04:14.000 And you see these scenes playing out in Russia.
01:04:16.000 They're all jammed up at the metro station because they're swiping their card and it's not going through.
01:04:22.000 And again, all the Western businesses have vacated and so there's lots of vacancies.
01:04:28.000 But the difference is that Russia is willing to pay the price.
01:04:33.000 Vladimir Putin's approval rating went up 10% since the war started.
01:04:40.000 Even though the people are worse off, even though the people aren't paying the price for the war, they support Putin more.
01:04:47.000 They're rallying around their flag, they're rallying around their leader, and that's because fundamentally what this is about is independence and sovereignty.
01:04:58.000 And that's the difference.
01:04:59.000 The people in Russia will pay the price for their freedom.
01:05:03.000 The people in Russia will pay the monetary, financial, and political cost to be an independent nation.
01:05:11.000 The West, for all this big talk that it has about, oh, stand with Ukraine, we're not willing to pay.
01:05:19.000 The leaders are not willing to pay.
01:05:20.000 The people are not willing to pay.
01:05:22.000 And that's because the cause is fundamentally, it's not tangible.
01:05:25.000 Stand with Ukraine.
01:05:27.000 Why?
01:05:29.000 What is it really about?
01:05:30.000 What does anyone really know about Ukraine?
01:05:32.000 Does anybody really care?
01:05:34.000 It's about democracy.
01:05:35.000 It's about something.
01:05:37.000 Who even knows?
01:05:39.000 Who even knows anymore?
01:05:41.000 We're not a free people.
01:05:43.000 We're not free countries.
01:05:45.000 The quality of life in these countries sucks.
01:05:47.000 And we don't even like our leaders.
01:05:48.000 We don't like our press.
01:05:50.000 Now we gotta pay more?
01:05:51.000 We already pay so much.
01:05:53.000 We're already taxed to death.
01:05:54.000 And for what?
01:05:56.000 So that we can have an empire that spans from South Korea to Donbass?
01:06:02.000 And for what reason?
01:06:03.000 What are we getting out of it?
01:06:04.000 There's already 7% inflation!
01:06:10.000 In Germany and in the United States and that's before we stop paying for the Russian natural gas and oil.
01:06:16.000 That's before the sanctions.
01:06:17.000 That's before the war.
01:06:18.000 Now we're gonna pay what?
01:06:20.000 Another 7% in inflation?
01:06:22.000 What are we getting from this empire?
01:06:24.000 We've got this liberal democratic empire that spans the globe and gotta defend the furthest expanse of its borders and for what?
01:06:32.000 For what tangible benefit are we deriving from this?
01:06:36.000 And ultimately this is why we're going to lose.
01:06:39.000 That's why we deserve to lose.
01:06:42.000 And we have to think about if we want to be a country that has will, that is strong, well we need something that's a little bit more powerful for the people to rally behind than this human rights crap.
01:06:55.000 It's liberal democratic, we all know it's bullshit.
01:06:58.000 Liberal Democracy!
01:07:00.000 Really?
01:07:00.000 The European Union is not a democratic institution.
01:07:04.000 Do you know how the European Union works?
01:07:06.000 They've got a central committee that writes up all the bills, and then they send them to the European Parliament.
01:07:12.000 And the European Parliament can vote no, but the committee just keeps sending them until the European Parliament says yes.
01:07:20.000 And the elected members of the European Union from the member states, they don't get to write the bills.
01:07:26.000 So think about that.
01:07:27.000 You've got a delegation from Italy, you've got a delegation from Germany, from France, and none of the delegates from the member states even get to propose their own bills.
01:07:38.000 They all come from the central, the executive branch of the government.
01:07:44.000 And you know what?
01:07:45.000 They have a fancy word for this.
01:07:47.000 You know what they call this in political science?
01:07:48.000 They call this a democracy deficit.
01:07:52.000 A deficit of democracy.
01:07:54.000 So they know.
01:07:55.000 I mean, they're fully aware of this.
01:07:56.000 Even the liberals acknowledge the European Union is not democratic.
01:08:00.000 But they just call it a democracy deficit.
01:08:04.000 When Russia does something non-democratic, well, that's because it's a police state run by the new incarnation of Adolf Hitler.
01:08:12.000 When the European Union is in no meaningful way a democracy, well, they say, well, we're working on it.
01:08:17.000 It's a democracy with a deficit.
01:08:21.000 When Putin does it, he's a fascist, totalitarian Hitler.
01:08:25.000 Well, when we're not democratic, well, it's a democracy deficit.
01:08:28.000 We're not a democracy, and we're not an open society, and we have no rights.
01:08:33.000 Everyone knows this.
01:08:35.000 So, that's fundamentally what this is about.
01:08:38.000 When we talk about the war, it is a game of chicken here.
01:08:41.000 In purely strategic terms, it's a game of chicken.
01:08:47.000 The West needs the gas, Russia needs the money.
01:08:50.000 And who is going to break first?
01:08:54.000 The Europeans think that Russia would not possibly lose the revenue from the gas because they just desperately need it for the war.
01:09:02.000 And they think that Russia will not really turn off the gas and then Russia will continue the contracts in the native currencies, not in rubles.
01:09:11.000 And Putin probably thinks the other way around.
01:09:13.000 He thinks that ultimately they need the energy more than we need the money.
01:09:17.000 We've gotten... Here's the thing too, which is funny.
01:09:21.000 Russia does not have a 100% debt to GDP ratio.
01:09:29.000 It's very funny that we project these kinds of, everybody says, oh the Russian economy is so weak, the Russian economy is terrible.
01:09:37.000 I would take the Russian economy over the European or American economy any day.
01:09:42.000 Because take a look at the ratio of debt.
01:09:44.000 The Russian debt to GDP ratio, I don't know what it is now, but I think I saw three years ago or something,
01:09:50.000 It was like 15%?
01:09:53.000 And Russia actually has cash.
01:09:56.000 Russia actually has reserves.
01:09:59.000 And they use their reserves to pay their deficit.
01:10:01.000 In other words, they don't finance their deficits with debt.
01:10:05.000 When they are spending more than they're taking in, they don't borrow from other countries.
01:10:10.000 They don't sell debt to other countries.
01:10:12.000 They have savings.
01:10:14.000 And they pay for their deficit with the savings.
01:10:17.000 It is true that Russia is a petrostate, so it has energy that it exports.
01:10:22.000 But it's a country that is fiscally solvent.
01:10:26.000 And so...
01:10:27.000 There's not a significant debt situation, which is what defines all of our economies.
01:10:32.000 The United States has $30 trillion in debt, which means that it has more than a 100% debt-to-GDP ratio.
01:10:41.000 We have as much debt, or more, than this country produces in value in a whole year.
01:10:46.000 And that's not to mention the deficits, which have been out of control since COVID.
01:10:49.000 I don't even know what they are, but I believe it's in the trillions.
01:10:53.000 So you're having a deficit.
01:10:55.000 So if you don't know, the deficit is the annual budget shortfall.
01:11:01.000 That is how much more you're spending than you're making in a given year.
01:11:06.000 And then the debt is the accumulated deficits.
01:11:09.000 So you have 30 trillion in debt and the deficit on an annual basis is in the trillions.
01:11:15.000 With all these COVID relief packages and the 800 billion dollar military budgets which started under Trump, seven, eight hundred billion dollars per year.
01:11:24.000 So, you know, the Europeans are saying, oh, Russia won't possibly go without all this revenue from the oil and natural gas.
01:11:30.000 Well, Russia's a fiscally solvent state.
01:11:33.000 Germany has 7% inflation and a more than 100% debt to GDP ratio.
01:11:38.000 And a lot of the European countries, they have close to a 200%
01:11:43.000 debt to GDP ratio in most of them.
01:11:47.000 And so, who's really more fragile here?
01:11:50.000 Who's really gonna break first?
01:11:51.000 In terms of real, tangible terms, the Russian economy is stronger.
01:11:57.000 Because the Russian economy is real.
01:11:59.000 It's built on real value.
01:12:01.000 Real resources.
01:12:03.000 Titanium, oil, natural gas, aluminum.
01:12:09.000 They build things and they take things out of the ground.
01:12:12.000 Uranium.
01:12:14.000 Very little debt and again, they've got raw materials that they can export to the world.
01:12:19.000 And you know what?
01:12:20.000 If Germany won't buy it, China will.
01:12:22.000 If the Europeans won't buy it, some other developing country will.
01:12:26.000 And that's what economic strength is.
01:12:29.000 What's more is the people of Russia are rallying around their sovereignty and their identity as a nation.
01:12:35.000 They don't want to be westernized.
01:12:36.000 They don't want to be liberalized.
01:12:38.000 They don't want to be a pawn of the United States.
01:12:40.000 They don't want to be a slave of the New World Order.
01:12:42.000 They're rallying around their flag.
01:12:44.000 They're willing to pay extra.
01:12:46.000 They're willing to see the currency in free fall.
01:12:48.000 They're willing to bear the price of their freedom.
01:12:51.000 That's a strong country.
01:12:53.000 Contrast that with the West.
01:12:55.000 The people hate the government.
01:12:56.000 The people hate the media.
01:12:58.000 Our national myth is a lie.
01:13:00.000 Liberal democracy, capitalism, freedom, it's a lie.
01:13:04.000 If it wasn't a lie before, it certainly is after the pandemic when a government can say that you can't leave your house, you can't enter a restaurant unless you're vaccinated.
01:13:14.000 It's a lie.
01:13:15.000 So the
01:13:17.000 The nation is weak morally, the nation is weak in terms of its patriotism, the leaders are unpopular, the institutions are not trusted, and then what's more is the economy is totally weak.
01:13:29.000 The economy is built on debt.
01:13:32.000 The entire economy, there's no value in the economy.
01:13:35.000 You can't even really call it an economy because that's not what it is.
01:13:39.000 It's like just a giant Ponzi scheme.
01:13:41.000 It's about moving numbers around in computers, but it's not about real value.
01:13:47.000 The current prices of the stock market do not reflect the value of the companies.
01:13:53.000 The current prices of the real estate and the houses do not reflect the value that underlies them.
01:14:01.000 As far as I'm concerned, we are sitting on the largest debt bubble in the history of the world.
01:14:05.000 And once it pops, you're going to see what the real valuation is of the US economy and the European economies.
01:14:11.000 It's not what they say it is.
01:14:13.000 They doubled the money supply last year.
01:14:16.000 You think that that doesn't have an effect on the medium of exchange in the country and how that reflects in the price signals?
01:14:23.000 In no meaningful way do we understand the value in our economy.
01:14:28.000 This is why, I mean, we're really in for a lot of pain here.
01:14:31.000 We should not have picked a war over Ukraine.
01:14:34.000 And this has been said by the analysts.
01:14:37.000 The Europeans believed that this would be an easy war.
01:14:40.000 They thought that, you know, we're going to sanction Russia and it's going to be no big deal.
01:14:45.000 You know?
01:14:46.000 I think they both thought it would be easy.
01:14:48.000 I think Putin thought it would be somewhat easy in terms of logistically on the ground.
01:14:53.000 And I think the Europeans and the Americans thought that
01:14:57.000 Sanctioning Russia would not have any real consequences.
01:15:01.000 Because nobody's ever stood up to the United States.
01:15:03.000 Not in the past 30 years.
01:15:04.000 It just isn't done.
01:15:06.000 Countries don't go all the way.
01:15:07.000 They don't go all in.
01:15:09.000 They don't say, hey, bring it on.
01:15:12.000 It hasn't happened.
01:15:13.000 It hasn't happened since the fall of the Soviet Union.
01:15:16.000 And so, the Western countries are sort of relying on their empty threats and their deterrence, which has no strength.
01:15:23.000 You know, there's really nothing that backs up the deterrence if there's no underlying strength in the country.
01:15:29.000 And Russia, sensing the weakness, seeing the inflation, seeing the retreat from Afghanistan,
01:15:34.000 Seeing the weakness of the American regime after the Capitol, everything else that's going on, he said, you know what?
01:15:40.000 These Westerners aren't shit.
01:15:43.000 I can go into Ukraine and you know what?
01:15:45.000 Bring it on.
01:15:46.000 You're not gonna go to war with me.
01:15:48.000 You're not gonna cut that oil and natural gas.
01:15:50.000 I'm gonna take Ukraine and there's nothing you could do about it.
01:15:54.000 And we've sanctioned and we've sanctioned and we've done everything we can short of intervening militarily.
01:15:59.000 And he was right.
01:16:01.000 It's not working.
01:16:02.000 And we're not willing to go all the way.
01:16:03.000 We're not going to live with the gas shutdown.
01:16:05.000 We're not going to live with the food shortages that will result with the sanctions against their fertilizer and their grain and their wheat in Russia.
01:16:15.000 And this is the beginning of the end because it only has to happen once.
01:16:20.000 All it takes is basic prison psychology.
01:16:24.000 All it takes is one country to really stand up and say, you know what?
01:16:29.000 You're not going to hit me back.
01:16:31.000 All these threats, all this intimidation, there's nothing backing that.
01:16:36.000 I'm going to take Ukraine and you're not going to be able to stop me.
01:16:40.000 You only need to do that once.
01:16:42.000 And then a message has been sent loud and clear to the whole world
01:16:45.000 This is not the same world order that it was three months ago.
01:16:49.000 This is not the same world that we're living in.
01:16:52.000 The United States is not what it appears to be.
01:16:55.000 Aircraft carriers, military bases, Pentagon command centers in every corner of the globe, and they couldn't stop Russia, the 11th largest economy, smaller than the size of Texas, they couldn't stop Russia from invading a country that was supposed to be in NATO's backyard.
01:17:12.000 And that sends a message to Iran and China and Syria and Venezuela and honestly it sends a message also to continental Europe, which has not always been 100% in agreement with how the United States leads the Western countries.
01:17:28.000 The United Kingdom slavishly does whatever the United States says, but Germany and France, for 70 years, have resisted the United States on strategic matters.
01:17:37.000 And so, this creates a new paradigm.
01:17:40.000 This creates a new world order where continental European countries are going to pursue further strategic autonomy from Washington.
01:17:51.000 Russia is now a great power.
01:17:54.000 A second-rate great power, but a great power.
01:17:56.000 China is emerging as a peer competitor.
01:17:59.000 Other countries too, like India and maybe Brazil, South Africa, they will emerge from this as well.
01:18:05.000 And we will have a truly multipolar world order, which I've said this for a long time.
01:18:09.000 But
01:18:10.000 This has more significance probably than 9-11.
01:18:14.000 This war in Ukraine is one of these things.
01:18:17.000 It's actually sort of interesting because in the 19th century, the Crimean War was one of the biggest continental wars of the century.
01:18:25.000 And here we are again.
01:18:25.000 You know, it's funny how history repeats itself 170 years later, and it's the same story.
01:18:32.000 It's this war ultimately over Crimea, over Donbass, over Ukraine, which is now reshaping the balance of power on the continent and across the world.
01:18:42.000 But fundamentally it's about those things and it's really interesting.
01:18:46.000 Russia is willing to turn off the gas.
01:18:48.000 It's willing to eat the pain for its true sovereignty.
01:18:52.000 These Westerners, they're weak.
01:18:55.000 They're weak.
01:18:56.000 They're spineless.
01:18:57.000 They're gonna keep drinking up the oil and natural gas.
01:19:00.000 All that self-righteous, rules-based world order, UN, Atlantic Charter, human rights.
01:19:06.000 It doesn't mean shit if you're gonna keep buying Russian gas and you're not gonna
01:19:12.000 You're not going to send troops into Ukraine or establish a no-fly zone, you know, whatever, whatever it is.
01:19:18.000 And so, then if that's the case, we need to stop acting like it.
01:19:21.000 And let's go back to a foreign policy that's based on our real interests.
01:19:26.000 I wish America had a policy like Russia.
01:19:30.000 Russia is a stronger nation than us.
01:19:33.000 It doesn't spend as much.
01:19:35.000 Its military is smaller.
01:19:36.000 Its military is less sophisticated.
01:19:38.000 But it is a stronger country.
01:19:40.000 The foundation is solid.
01:19:43.000 This country is not built on a solid foundation.
01:19:45.000 Its currency is not solid.
01:19:47.000 It is fiscally insolvent.
01:19:49.000 The people are in revolt.
01:19:50.000 This is a weak country.
01:19:53.000 And that's not Russia's fault.
01:19:54.000 That's not China's fault.
01:19:55.000 It's our fault.
01:19:57.000 And we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
01:20:00.000 We emerged from the Cold War legitimately the number one superpower ever in the world.
01:20:06.000 There has never been a greater differential between the first superpower and the next greatest power ever in history.
01:20:14.000 After the fall of the Soviet Union, you have the United States.
01:20:19.000 And 100 miles away was the next biggest country.
01:20:23.000 Maybe that's Russia.
01:20:24.000 Maybe that's China.
01:20:25.000 But it's just not even, they're not even playing the same sport.
01:20:28.000 It's not even comparable.
01:20:29.000 And you have for the first time a unipolar moment, is what it was called.
01:20:33.000 Because it's so fleeting.
01:20:34.000 It's such a transient, it's such an anomaly.
01:20:37.000 They said it was a moment.
01:20:38.000 Not the unipolar century.
01:20:40.000 Not the unipolar era.
01:20:42.000 The unipolar moment.
01:20:44.000 Because they said,
01:20:45.000 This is such an anomaly.
01:20:47.000 This is so uncharacteristic of how world affairs typically goes.
01:20:53.000 We have a moment where we have this level of dominance.
01:20:56.000 We have this kind of differential.
01:20:58.000 And in terms of absolute terms, we have this level of military superiority.
01:21:06.000 And honestly, that was the seeds of our undoing.
01:21:09.000 The victory was the source of the downfall.
01:21:12.000 It's sort of like when Bane says to Batman, he says, victory has defeated you.
01:21:16.000 It's true.
01:21:17.000 We won.
01:21:18.000 We thought we could do anything.
01:21:19.000 We thought that we could make the rules.
01:21:21.000 We thought that we won the war because we were smarter, tougher, more righteous.
01:21:26.000 And then we thought that we didn't have to make real decisions anymore.
01:21:29.000 We didn't have to be strategic.
01:21:30.000 We didn't have to make allies or anything.
01:21:34.000 And so what has happened as a consequence is we've overexerted ourselves.
01:21:38.000 We spent too much.
01:21:39.000 We ate too much.
01:21:42.000 And now we're paying the price.
01:21:43.000 We've become a weak, hollow shell of what we used to be.
01:21:47.000 It's not over for us, but this entire debacle, which is what it should be called, which really was a long time in the making, it has demonstrated, not just to the world, but even to the United States, what has transpired and what our new relative position in the world is.
01:22:04.000 And it's not what it was.
01:22:06.000 It's not what it was before February.
01:22:09.000 And when I say that, I mean this has been something that's been long in the making.
01:22:15.000 Afghanistan, you could even say it goes back to 2014, really.
01:22:20.000 Or you could even say it goes back to 2013 with Syria.
01:22:25.000 But it's the American Empire has been on being undone for a long time.
01:22:31.000 So but that's at the crux of all of this.
01:22:33.000 So it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out.
01:22:37.000 Will the Europeans relent?
01:22:38.000 Will they buy the Russian oil and natural gas in rubles?
01:22:42.000 Or will they try to starve Russia of its money?
01:22:45.000 I don't know.
01:22:46.000 I don't know who's going to break first.
01:22:48.000 But, ultimately, something has got to give here.
01:22:53.000 And the idea of Russia as invincible, this idea of Putin as being a brilliant guy, and either he will break and Russia will fall, or, conversely, all of this doubling down, standing up to dictators, is going to have to stop.
01:23:10.000 And ultimately the Germans and the French and the EU broadly will have to relent and they'll have to buy the rubles and use the rubles to buy the gas.
01:23:20.000 And all that tough talk is just going to have to crash upon the rocks on the shore of reality.
01:23:26.000 But something's got to give here.
01:23:28.000 But this is a test.
01:23:30.000 And it is a big test.
01:23:31.000 Now everybody knows it's high stakes.
01:23:33.000 These are really the stakes.
01:23:34.000 Everybody talks about how could a nuclear war ever happen?
01:23:37.000 Well these are the stakes.
01:23:39.000 Either the Putin regime goes down and Russia is just pacified and like they've been dominated.
01:23:45.000 It's a big deal if they get shown up here.
01:23:47.000 Or the United States is no longer the leader of the world.
01:23:52.000 This is a high stakes thing which will have consequences across the world for many years.
01:23:57.000 And so, this is going to be one of the strategically important issues here.
01:24:03.000 And if you underestimate this, this is how World War II started, more or less.
01:24:08.000 You know, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, it's because of our oil embargo.
01:24:13.000 Roosevelt let that happen, he wanted in the war, but...
01:24:17.000 The Japanese attacked the United States because of the oil, because of the energy.
01:24:23.000 They thought that they could win the war before the United States would mobilize and get involved.
01:24:28.000 And of course, the Nazis, even the Nazis, when they launched Operation Barbarossa and it started to stall, you know, initially they went for Leningrad and Moscow and Stalingrad.
01:24:39.000 And it stalled up in St.
01:24:41.000 Petersburg, it stalled in Moscow, and they said they would focus on getting the oil fields, the energy, in the Caucasus, in the oil fields in Baku.
01:24:49.000 And that's where it all fell apart for them.
01:24:52.000 So, don't underestimate this energy stuff.
01:24:54.000 This is a big deal.
01:24:55.000 Ukraine is almost small potatoes compared to what we're really talking about here, which is energy.
01:25:01.000 Which is Nord Stream 2.
01:25:04.000 It's the oil and natural gas in the Black Sea in Ukraine.
01:25:09.000 I mean, ultimately, that's really what these things are about.
01:25:14.000 You know, and then how the conflict plays out, then that is actually a real sort of demonstration of where the current world order is.
01:25:22.000 It's kind of like a, it's sort of like a hard credit check on where world power sits.
01:25:27.000 You know, okay, here's a, here's a crisis, here's sort of an energy diplomatic crisis, and you know, who has the military, who has the balls to exert themselves?
01:25:38.000 I don't know.
01:25:39.000 I can't really make a prediction.
01:25:59.000 I don't know, because it depends on the war.
01:26:01.000 Because the payments will have to begin in the middle of May, which is six weeks away.
01:26:05.000 The war could be over by then.
01:26:07.000 It's all about how it plays out on the ground, because if Russia is able to lay siege to these cities, what's happening right now on the ground is that the most advanced Ukrainian forces are fighting the Russians in Donbass.
01:26:20.000 And the Russians are focusing on completely securing Luhansk and Donetsk.
01:26:24.000 And so what's happening is these elite Ukrainian forces are being encircled in Donbass in the east, and what the Russians are really doing is just destroying the Ukrainian military.
01:26:35.000 They're destroying their equipment, they're killing their soldiers, and once that contingent is destroyed in the east, these cities are just gonna go.
01:26:44.000 Kiev is gonna go, Mariupol's gonna go, all the big cities are gonna go, and Russia's really gonna take over Ukraine, and it's gonna be over, overnight.
01:26:54.000 We're good.
01:27:15.000 Counter-offensives, offensives because they don't have the capability and they don't have the capability because their logistics have been so depleted and degraded by Russia.
01:27:26.000 It's this war of attrition now where really they're just holding out and they're waiting for Russia to be destroyed by other means.
01:27:33.000 The Ukrainians, they cannot win this war.
01:27:37.000 In a matter of time, Russia will completely destroy their military, and without a military, Russia will just take over Ukraine.
01:27:44.000 And there will be an insurgency, but it will not be... I mean, this is not going to stop Russia.
01:27:50.000 So what the Ukrainians are doing is they're just stalling.
01:27:52.000 They're waiting and they're waiting.
01:27:54.000 They're waiting for Russia to be depleted by other means and for...
01:27:58.000 For Russia, maybe the political pressure in Moscow to ramp up against Putin, they're waiting for the economic pressure against Russia to hurt the economy enough that there will be popular discontent with the policy, or financially it will be impossible for the war to continue.
01:28:16.000 They keep talking about defunding Putin's war machine.
01:28:19.000 And that's what it's about.
01:28:20.000 They want to make it so that Russia can't finance the war anymore and that the Ukrainians are holding out so that Russia will just have to pull back and stop the invasion either under financial or political pressure.
01:28:32.000 But it remains to be seen now in these next six weeks how that plays out because if Russia destroys the military and well this is how the peace talks play into it as well.
01:28:43.000 Peace talks are underway.
01:28:44.000 The Russians have said they're stopping the advance.
01:28:47.000 And maybe Zelensky is holding a carrot in front of Putin and saying, hey, we're going to totally capitulate on everything.
01:28:56.000 Russia stops the assault, stops degrading the Ukrainian armed forces.
01:29:00.000 And so then you could say that the attrition continues for Russia.
01:29:04.000 The financial and political attrition continues with Russia, but it stops with Ukraine insofar as the Russian advances stop.
01:29:11.000 So the peace talks are actually
01:29:13.000 They're helping the momentum of the war in favor of Kiev.
01:29:17.000 So it's so these things are all it's all playing into this the different pressures and the timelines here.
01:29:23.000 You've got the six-week window after which the Europeans will need to capitulate to Russia and buy the natural gas and oil in rubles.
01:29:31.000 We're good to go.
01:29:51.000 I don't know.
01:30:10.000 And all this stuff about, oh it's a stalemate, it's all a bunch of propaganda, it's all a bunch of lies, that's meant to keep morale up for the Americans who are going to have to deal with higher food prices and everything.
01:30:23.000 But I honestly, I think how it will play out is that Russia will destroy the Ukrainian military, they will dictate the terms, Ukraine will agree to them, and then probably
01:30:36.000 The Europeans will have to buy their energy in rubles, because there is going to be no... Russia will not be as badly hurt.
01:30:44.000 If they can dictate the terms in Ukraine, then the military operation ceases, and then the financial hit that they take, without selling the oil, the same pressure isn't there.
01:30:56.000 So then all the pressure is on the Europeans.
01:30:58.000 Hey, no oil and natural gas for you, no money for Russia, but the war is over.
01:31:02.000 They don't need it anymore.
01:31:03.000 So I think the imperative is for Russia to win this thing as quickly as possible, which I think they can do, and then the onus is on everybody else.
01:31:11.000 Then the pain is all on the Americans, it's on the Europeans, and then Russia dictates the terms.
01:31:17.000 But this is a very bad situation for the United States and the West.
01:31:22.000 And ultimately, and this is the last thing I'll say because we're out of time here, you have to ask yourself, was it worth it?
01:31:28.000 We mobilized everything.
01:31:29.000 We, in a sense, we thought that this was going to be no big shake.
01:31:33.000 Ah, we put sanctions on Russia, whatever.
01:31:36.000 We've all heard sanctions before.
01:31:38.000 We've used sanctions against Russia in the past, Iran, North Korea, everybody.
01:31:43.000 And we've had wars against smaller countries.
01:31:47.000 And we thought that this was going to be no thing.
01:31:50.000 And it's turning out to be, perhaps, the end for us.
01:31:54.000 We went into this thinking, oh yeah, this is just another day.
01:31:57.000 Another day in American empire.
01:31:59.000 Slap the sanctions on Russia.
01:32:00.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:32:01.000 We talk tough.
01:32:02.000 We deter them.
01:32:03.000 We say something about every inch of NATO play.
01:32:06.000 And they back off.
01:32:07.000 Well, they're not backing off.
01:32:08.000 We're forced to double down.
01:32:09.000 Okay, well they're still not backing off.
01:32:11.000 Now it's all of our credibility on the line.
01:32:14.000 Now, it's all of our credibility, our whole reputation.
01:32:17.000 It's like the entire House of Cards will be undone by this conflict, because that's how fragile American power really is.
01:32:26.000 And if Russia's able to pull this off, the results, diplomatically, economically, politically, will be catastrophic for the West, and there will be ripples from this for decades, I believe.
01:32:40.000 So, and you have to ask yourself why we did that.
01:32:43.000 We could have just let Russia have Ukraine, but it wasn't enough.
01:32:48.000 In 2014, we could have backed off.
01:32:50.000 We could have relented.
01:32:51.000 We had eight years to do that.
01:32:53.000 We had Obama, who was supposed to be a big, peaceful guy.
01:32:56.000 Remember the apology tour and all that?
01:32:59.000 Trump was supposed to deliver a reproachment with Russia.
01:33:02.000 It didn't happen.
01:33:03.000 And then Biden.
01:33:04.000 I mean, he was always an anti-Russia guy, even since 2015.
01:33:09.000 And so... We had an opportunity here to back off if we knew we didn't have the guts.
01:33:18.000 And for eight years we kept pushing and pushing and now this may be the undoing of the entire American Empire.
01:33:23.000 For real.
01:33:26.000 And for what?
01:33:26.000 For Ukraine?
01:33:27.000 Was it worth it?
01:33:28.000 No.
01:33:29.000 But it's not about Ukraine, it's about this totalizing world domination mindset.
01:33:34.000 We've got to have it all!
01:33:36.000 And you may wind up with less than you had before.
01:33:40.000 So...
01:33:41.000 That's our situation here with the European natural gas crisis.
01:33:48.000 They've already begun rationing.
01:33:50.000 They're frantically making deals for the liquefied natural gas, but they'll never get enough of that to replace Russian gas.
01:33:58.000 It's over for us.
01:34:00.000 It's over in a huge way.
01:34:02.000 And then that makes it a very... the scary proposition there is, is the United States gonna bring us to the brink of a nuclear war?
01:34:10.000 Because we've lost this one.
01:34:14.000 That's the question.
01:34:14.000 It's a real possibility because these people are nuts and it seems although they would almost rather end the world than give up this charade about democracy and liberalism and standing up to dictators and all that crap.
01:34:29.000 They may come to that.
01:34:30.000 I hope it doesn't.
01:34:30.000 I hope they back off.
01:34:31.000 But, you know, the message here is it's time to back off.
01:34:35.000 We're not who we thought we were.
01:34:37.000 We're not as strong as we thought we were.
01:34:39.000 Russia just showed the whole world that.
01:34:41.000 They just exposed us.
01:34:42.000 So let's take a step back.
01:34:45.000 Let's reevaluate.
01:34:46.000 Let's regroup, you know, and then we can maybe dictate terms to other countries.
01:34:50.000 But not now.
01:34:51.000 We're not strong enough.
01:34:54.000 So that's that.
01:34:55.000 But we're out of time.
01:34:56.000 We're going to move on.
01:34:57.000 And we will take a look at our Super Chats.
01:35:01.000 And we'll see what you guys have to say about all this.
01:35:05.000 So let me pull up our Super Chats for the night.
01:35:08.000 Not a lot of Super Chats.
01:35:09.000 We only have 20 Super Chats.
01:35:11.000 Well, I guess I can't really complain.
01:35:14.000 One night I say, we have 80 Super Chats.
01:35:16.000 That's way too many.
01:35:18.000 And then people are like, alright, well we won't Super Chat.
01:35:20.000 And then I'm like, what the heck?
01:35:25.000 I guess what I want is lots of Super Chats, but that don't suck.
01:35:31.000 Maybe that's too much to ask, but... Anyway, we're gonna move on here.
01:35:37.000 Let me just take a sip.
01:35:47.000 Yeah, pretty interesting stuff.
01:35:50.000 I don't know how you guys are liking the news on Russia and Ukraine.
01:35:55.000 Because I know a lot of the foreign policy shows...
01:35:59.000 Don't do as well as the other shows?
01:36:01.000 You know, when I, and this has historically been true, whenever I talk about Afghanistan or North Korea or Iran or Russia, I get a much smaller audience.
01:36:12.000 So I don't know how you guys, obviously now it's far more relevant than ever, but I'm wondering, do you guys like the shows about foreign relations?
01:36:19.000 Because that's my favorite thing.
01:36:21.000 If I could, I would just do all foreign relations all the time, but...
01:36:26.000 I'm wondering what you think, if it's interesting enough.
01:36:29.000 I think it's interesting, but... This is my topic.
01:36:36.000 So... Yeah, so I think it's pretty interesting.
01:36:48.000 All right.
01:36:49.000 Let's get into it.
01:36:50.000 Let's read the Super Chats.
01:36:57.000 Mmm, I just had a head rush You know when you get that feeling you get that like pins and needles feeling when you stand up too quickly It's too hot in here I have my shoes on that's why I was out to dinner and then I came back and I
01:37:24.000 Yes, I still have my jeans on.
01:37:26.000 Still have my going out jeans.
01:37:28.000 These aren't my show jeans.
01:37:29.000 These are my going out jeans.
01:37:31.000 I have two pairs of pants.
01:37:34.000 I have one pair of jeans I wear here.
01:37:35.000 I have one pair of jeans I wear out.
01:37:38.000 And that's it.
01:37:38.000 And I have my going out shoes on.
01:37:42.000 Not my staying home shoes on.
01:37:44.000 So they're both the same shoe.
01:37:46.000 I have two pairs of the same shoe and one of them I wear at home and one of them I wear outside.
01:37:51.000 So this is, so I'm all discombobulated here.
01:37:54.000 I have the wrong pair of shoes on and the wrong pants.
01:38:03.000 Anyway.
01:38:11.000 Okay, so let's see.
01:38:12.000 What do we got?
01:38:14.000 4theghosts says, just chat.
01:38:17.000 Is Nick our guy?
01:38:19.000 What did he mean by this?
01:38:20.000 Thoughts?
01:38:21.000 Apologize to him.
01:38:22.000 Explain yourselves.
01:38:23.000 Refute this.
01:38:23.000 Prove him wrong.
01:38:24.000 Pro tip, you can't.
01:38:26.000 We got too cocky, okay?
01:38:30.000 Prettyflywhiteguy says, hey Nick, day 9 and it's almost Friday.
01:38:33.000 Have a good night, friend.
01:38:34.000 Thanks a lot.
01:38:35.000 Yeah, I can't wait for Friday.
01:38:39.000 Thank God it's Friday, but I'm still streaming all weekend.
01:38:42.000 I always do this to myself.
01:38:44.000 I always every time it gets to the weekend Well, I plan stuff out for the weekend all week then it's the weekend and I'm like, oh man I just wanted to take the night off and then I filled it up with shit over the past week so So I never really get a break.
01:39:01.000 I never really get to take a day off.
01:39:02.000 You know, I'm always Nick Fuentes.
01:39:04.000 I'm always doing this so
01:39:10.000 So yeah, I'm saying thank God it's Friday, but I got a stream on Saturday, I got a stream on Sunday, and then it's Monday again.
01:39:16.000 So... So yeah, thank God.
01:39:20.000 It feels like it's Monday every day.
01:39:28.000 Whoops, I'm in the wrong tab here.
01:39:29.000 Okay.
01:39:31.000 Anon says, hypothetically, you want to game with the boys, but your wife wants to watch The Notebook with you.
01:39:37.000 What do you do?
01:39:37.000 Who do you choose?
01:39:39.000 Is that even a question?
01:39:40.000 You know.
01:39:46.000 You already know.
01:39:47.000 You already know.
01:39:48.000 Yeah, I mean, what even is that?
01:39:53.000 Is that supposed to be a joke or something?
01:39:55.000 I know some people that would choose the former.
01:39:59.000 I know some people that would... or the latter, I mean.
01:40:05.000 I know some people that that's their move.
01:40:07.000 They do this thing where they would rather hang out with their wives or girlfriends than their friends.
01:40:13.000 I know all about that.
01:40:15.000 Oh yeah, I've known about that for a long time.
01:40:18.000 I know it's sort of like hoes before bros, niggas.
01:40:22.000 Yeah, but I'm a bros before hoes kind of a guy.
01:40:26.000 So...
01:40:28.000 Just bros, no hoes is really the ideal policy, actually.
01:40:32.000 Bros, no hoes.
01:40:36.000 But yeah, if I ever get married, it'll certainly be bros over hoes.
01:40:41.000 I can't imagine.
01:40:42.000 I can't imagine being the other way, but it's out there.
01:40:45.000 Believe me, it's out there.
01:40:47.000 I've seen it.
01:40:50.000 Name them!
01:40:51.000 Oh, I would never do that.
01:40:54.000 I would never do that.
01:40:56.000 But some of these bros, they've got a penchant to be hoes before bros.
01:41:01.000 I can never understand that.
01:41:05.000 I think it's totally wrong.
01:41:07.000 I think it's completely fucked up.
01:41:08.000 But I honestly think there's something wrong with you if that's how you are.
01:41:11.000 But believe me, but it's out there.
01:41:15.000 But it's out there.
01:41:18.000 But maybe I'm just old school.
01:41:21.000 Maybe I'm just old school like that.
01:41:23.000 Or maybe I'm just not a simp.
01:41:24.000 I don't know, but
01:41:26.000 Yeah, some of these niggas, they're all about the hoes.
01:41:30.000 You could, in a sense, say they're all ho, no bro.
01:41:33.000 You know, there's all bro, no ho, which is me.
01:41:36.000 There are people that are bros before hoes, hoes before bros, and then there's no bro, all hoes.
01:41:41.000 And certainly I know people that are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
01:41:46.000 They are all ho, no bros.
01:41:49.000 And I just can't really get along with people like that.
01:41:52.000 I just can't really do it.
01:41:54.000 You know, we try, but it just doesn't work, so... I just can't respect it.
01:42:01.000 I just can't respect it.
01:42:03.000 I can't deal with that.
01:42:04.000 So... It's like, hey, you know, you wanna hang out?
01:42:09.000 Call a hoe.
01:42:10.000 You know, hey, you wanna job?
01:42:12.000 You wanna this?
01:42:13.000 You wanna that?
01:42:13.000 Call a fucking hoe.
01:42:15.000 Okay?
01:42:16.000 Call the hoe.
01:42:17.000 You know, if you're all about the hoes, hey, call the hoe.
01:42:20.000 So, anyway...
01:42:23.000 Yeah, I'm sanctioning, I am sanctioning all niggas who put hoes before the bros.
01:42:29.000 I'm cutting off the gas, I'm cutting off the oil, I'm cutting off the Nick coin.
01:42:35.000 You cannot do business in Nick Fuentes coin if you are, if you're aligned with Sips, if you're aligned with the hoes.
01:42:42.000 I am sanctioning the hoes and I am sanctioning anybody else who is allied with the hoes.
01:42:47.000 You have to be allied with me and the bros.
01:42:50.000 Really me, but also the bros as well.
01:42:53.000 So... You're either with them, which is NATO, or you're with me, and I am Putin.
01:43:01.000 That's the analogy, okay?
01:43:03.000 The expansion of the ho alliance, I will not accept it.
01:43:07.000 I would rather destroy the bros than give them to the hoes.
01:43:12.000 I would rather destroy.
01:43:13.000 I would destroy a bro.
01:43:15.000 No, kidding of course, but...
01:43:21.000 But yeah, it's one of those things.
01:43:25.000 Don't be hoes first.
01:43:27.000 We're America first, but we're also bros first.
01:43:31.000 Don't catch yourself being a hoes first individual.
01:43:36.000 Not a good look.
01:43:37.000 Not good.
01:43:39.000 So just be careful.
01:43:40.000 Be careful.
01:43:41.000 Okay?
01:43:42.000 Be careful.
01:43:45.000 Be cautious.
01:43:49.000 Because I see it all the time and it's not good.
01:43:53.000 Anyway, so is that even a question?
01:43:59.000 That's not even a question for me.
01:44:01.000 You know how I roll.
01:44:04.000 I roll with the homies.
01:44:06.000 Zoomer Will says you should be like Jordan Peterson and start crying every time you get asked a question.
01:44:12.000 Yeah, what's going on with that?
01:44:14.000 That guy, he should just bow out from public life.
01:44:17.000 The guy's a mess.
01:44:19.000 I don't know how you get to that point.
01:44:22.000 But you gotta step away.
01:44:24.000 The guy's a wreck.
01:44:26.000 I don't know what happened with him, but he was good.
01:44:29.000 I mean, well, I don't know if he was ever good.
01:44:33.000 He said some good things.
01:44:34.000 He did some good stuff years ago.
01:44:37.000 And then at some point, he just, like, got all fucked up.
01:44:40.000 I don't know.
01:44:41.000 People say it's drugs.
01:44:42.000 People say it's, uh, his wife got sick.
01:44:45.000 Listen, I don't know, but then he disappeared for a while, and he came back.
01:44:50.000 And now that he's back, he just breaks down.
01:44:52.000 Every interview he goes on, he just starts crying all the time.
01:44:55.000 And, like, I... Listen, I'm not one of these people that says, oh, you should never cry.
01:44:59.000 I never cry.
01:45:01.000 I would never cry in public.
01:45:03.000 But, um, or at least I would try to.
01:45:06.000 I don't think men should cry, generally.
01:45:09.000 But if a man does cry, you can understand in extraordinary circumstances, whatever, that the guy cries every time he gets on TV.
01:45:16.000 You can't... Something's not right.
01:45:18.000 People that cry that much, something's just not right there, so...
01:45:23.000 He's got to bow out.
01:45:24.000 He's got to get out of the public eye because it's not the fame.
01:45:27.000 It's very bad for you.
01:45:29.000 If you're crying like that, you're not well.
01:45:31.000 And if you're not well, you shouldn't be subjected to fame because fame is toxic.
01:45:36.000 Everybody thinks it's this great thing.
01:45:38.000 It's actually horrible.
01:45:39.000 Very little upside, very big downside.
01:45:43.000 And you don't really understand that until you have any degree of fame.
01:45:46.000 And then you realize it's like it just sucks for the most part.
01:45:50.000 It has perks, but mostly it just sucks.
01:45:53.000 And it's a lot more negativity than positivity, for sure.
01:45:57.000 Because people are generally more negative than they are positive.
01:46:00.000 People are more judgmental than they are sort of magnanimous.
01:46:06.000 So that's no—if you're not well, being in the public eye is no place to be, really.
01:46:12.000 So he should bow out and get well, because there's something wrong with him.
01:46:18.000 Um, but yeah, that's my feelings on that.
01:46:24.000 Boo says, our message to suburban moms can be, do you want grandchildren?
01:46:29.000 Then we can deconstruct and abolish women's rights.
01:46:32.000 Then you'll have grandchildren much faster.
01:46:35.000 Dads will be happier than so will moms.
01:46:37.000 Wow, great idea.
01:46:38.000 Yeah, that sounds like a really easy hack.
01:46:42.000 You meet a 70 year old woman.
01:46:45.000 Hi, I want to take all your rights away.
01:46:46.000 You want to have grandkids, right?
01:46:48.000 Like,
01:46:49.000 Thanks for the tip, but why don't you let me do the talking, actually?
01:46:53.000 Boo says CozyTV reminds me of Super Smash Bros.
01:46:57.000 It's like all the most iconic characters of internet politics coming together under Nick's benevolent embrace, playing and smiling.
01:47:06.000 What would we do without you?
01:47:07.000 So true!
01:47:08.000 What would this movement do without me?
01:47:09.000 I don't know.
01:47:12.000 I don't know, but...
01:47:14.000 Yeah, no, it is.
01:47:15.000 It's pretty cool.
01:47:16.000 It's pretty cool to have everybody crossed over on here.
01:47:20.000 Based Poland says, Nick, do you think these Constitution are the solution groups like John Birch Society efforts are worthwhile?
01:47:27.000 Or is the foundation of America so crumbled it's irredeemable?
01:47:32.000 There's no way.
01:47:33.000 The Constitution is not the solution, actually.
01:47:36.000 It just isn't.
01:47:38.000 So, no.
01:47:39.000 I do not think that that is...
01:47:42.000 I don't think that's productive at all, actually.
01:47:44.000 Argentinian Groyper says, hi!
01:47:46.000 Hi.
01:47:48.000 ForTheGhost says, I did not know Cozy will ban anti-gay talk.
01:47:54.000 No, we definitely don't ban anti-gay talk.
01:48:00.000 But maybe you're just... but you're a very obnoxious person, so they probably banned you for something else.
01:48:05.000 He says, irregardless, fuck the swatters for stressing your mother out, Nick.
01:48:09.000 Please do not kill your girlfriend.
01:48:11.000 Yeah, yeah.
01:48:12.000 Lone Star Status says, Nick, your underground farm looks really cool.
01:48:15.000 People better stop being mean to you or else.
01:48:19.000 Yeah, thanks man.
01:48:20.000 I appreciate it.
01:48:21.000 LBS says, Hi Nick, Peregrine here.
01:48:24.000 I think the software bugged out yesterday because I sent a second super chat saying congrats on 16k.
01:48:30.000 Oh well, have another $3.
01:48:31.000 Congratulations, King.
01:48:32.000 Much love.
01:48:33.000 Hey, thanks a lot.
01:48:34.000 I appreciate it.
01:48:39.000 Spinefish says, At least you're good at Civ V. Yeah.
01:48:43.000 I'm wondering if you support federal candidates in D.C.
01:48:46.000 or also state senate?
01:49:05.000 I'm not just supporting anybody.
01:49:07.000 You know, we've got a few candidates that we're putting a lot of our resources into, so I don't know who you're talking about.
01:49:13.000 But no, I'm not weighing in every race, every state and local race, or random people.
01:49:19.000 Glunion Groyper says, Nick, have you seen the movie Look Who's Back?
01:49:22.000 It's like a Hitler version of Borat.
01:49:25.000 Also, my liberal friend ate an onion in English class.
01:49:27.000 I told him he was now a Fuente supporter.
01:49:29.000 Cheers!
01:49:30.000 Ha ha ha.
01:49:31.000 No, I've never seen that movie.
01:49:34.000 I understand your logic now for backing Russia against the evil regime, but what about if Trump becomes president again?
01:49:43.000 Any change?
01:49:45.000 Uh, no.
01:49:47.000 Tyrone says, thanks for everything you do, Nick.
01:49:49.000 God bless you.
01:49:50.000 Thanks a lot.
01:49:51.000 Based Mongoloids, as a reminder, if you want updates for a free and unbiased source of news on the conflict, go follow Intel Slava Z on Telegram.
01:49:59.000 Anyway, great show, Nick.
01:50:00.000 When will you get Putin on for an interview?
01:50:03.000 Ah, very soon.
01:50:05.000 Dsharp says, Nicholas J. Frentes, yeah.
01:50:08.000 Wonderpet says, I gave all my money playing DJ in Dalton's Civ stream, but in all serious, Nick, thanks for, thanks a million times for making cozy.
01:50:16.000 The content is so fresh and cozy.
01:50:18.000 We love you.
01:50:19.000 Hey, I love you too.
01:50:20.000 Thanks.
01:50:22.000 Max says, great show buddy.
01:50:23.000 I'm giving speeches on foreign and diplomatic issues this weekend and my forensics tournament had been taking notes from your show.
01:50:29.000 Can't wait to read them.
01:50:30.000 Love you man.
01:50:30.000 Good night.
01:50:31.000 Hey, love you too.
01:50:33.000 Sounds good.
01:50:34.000 Well, let me know how it goes.
01:50:37.000 You're gonna get in trouble though.
01:50:38.000 If you use my talking points from the show, you'll probably get in trouble, but...
01:50:44.000 But that's okay.
01:50:44.000 That's what I did.
01:50:45.000 I got in trouble when I was in speech.
01:50:47.000 No, I don't think so, actually.
01:50:48.000 Because, you know, I'll stream at 10 o'clock and the viewership is the same.
01:50:51.000 You know, I'll stream at 8, 9, 10 o'clock.
01:50:52.000 It doesn't seem to matter too much.
01:51:08.000 Portland Gripers is for you, King!
01:51:10.000 Enjoy!
01:51:10.000 Thank you for the coverage on this important topic.
01:51:13.000 Hey, thanks a lot.
01:51:15.000 God of Conquest says, I saw an article today that said the U.S.
01:51:18.000 Army is reducing its recruitment target numbers for the fiscal year 22 to 23 because they can't entice people to enlist.
01:51:25.000 Another sign of a dying empire.
01:51:27.000 Yeah, very true.
01:51:30.000 Eddie Van Grams as you see the video of that black guy punching a white guy who is running in track.
01:51:35.000 The black guy runs into the track and clocks this white guy.
01:51:38.000 I can smell the race relations.
01:51:41.000 I did see that.
01:51:42.000 Yeah, that was a very black thing to do.
01:51:45.000 Spinefish says, do you like coleslaw?
01:51:47.000 Yes.
01:51:49.000 SoCal Mike says, Tom Luongo has some good geopolitical takes on this situation.
01:51:54.000 Like yourself, does a Monday show with your old pal Halsey.
01:51:57.000 These neocons are driving us off the cliff.
01:52:00.000 Yeah, very true.
01:52:02.000 IP2Zoomer says, America first, bitch, unless you're hosed before bros, bitch.
01:52:08.000 True.
01:52:11.000 AIM says, Love you, Nick, but the Navy's TR-3B and other breakaway technology... Here we go, nerd voice.
01:52:18.000 Totally break nuclear mutually assured destruction.
01:52:20.000 We have total spectrum dominance.
01:52:22.000 That's what the Nimitz incident was all about, nigga.
01:52:25.000 Yeah, okay.
01:52:26.000 Sebastian says, So I'm at the gym trying to converse.
01:52:29.000 With one of my fellow Roid Ragers and he can't stop looking at all the ass like the little sex addict he is so annoying so much muscle yet still a simp anybody it can happen to anybody and honestly a lot of muscle heads are muscle heads because they're simps the vanity
01:52:48.000 I don't know.
01:53:10.000 And so they want to look muscular and so they become top 10% in muscle and then they can, you know, pick up girls.
01:53:17.000 That's what it is.
01:53:20.000 It's not all of them, but a lot of them, that's the motivation.
01:53:23.000 It's not that deep, it's not about looking like a Roman statue, it's about getting attention from women, and then they get dopamine from that, and that's what it's about.
01:53:31.000 So, I mean, they may say, oh, I wanna be like, I wanna build muscle, cause the body's a temple, and Socrates said, it's like, nigga, it's not about Socrates.
01:53:43.000 You're an average-looking guy and you just want female attention.
01:53:47.000 It's what it is.
01:53:48.000 Not all of them, but a lot of them.
01:53:51.000 Not the people that are watching my show, they're in it for the real reasons.
01:53:54.000 But the people that don't watch my show, they're doing it for women.
01:54:00.000 And that's just a fact.
01:54:00.000 So it's actually, it's probably more common, actually, with people that have muscles.
01:54:06.000 Because it's, you know, it's one of those self-selection biases.
01:54:12.000 But...
01:54:14.000 I just can't stand that.
01:54:15.000 I mean, you know, I lived my whole life just being kind of not about that.
01:54:20.000 And then, you know, I met certain people and I'm almost surprised at it.
01:54:25.000 I'm surprised at certain people I know where, you know, people get comfortable with me.
01:54:29.000 And then that's all they want to talk about.
01:54:31.000 Then that's all they talk about.
01:54:32.000 And I'm like, really?
01:54:33.000 Like, I thought you were not like that.
01:54:36.000 Um, yeah, it's just... It's like, yeah, okay, that's great.
01:54:40.000 What, have you never seen a woman before?
01:54:42.000 What is this, like, new to you or something?
01:54:44.000 I mean, the shit that I've heard, I'm just like, what the f... What are you, like... What, are you taking Cialis or something?
01:54:51.000 Like, what's the story?
01:54:52.000 Have you... You swear, it's like these people have never seen a girl before, the way they go in public, and it's like, whoa, did you see that?
01:55:00.000 It's like, uh, yeah, like, I'm 23, man.
01:55:02.000 What, are you just hitting puberty now?
01:55:04.000 Like, seriously.
01:55:07.000 Spinefish says Louisiana is the state with the two longest bridges in America.
01:55:11.000 Oh cool.
01:55:13.000 Max says something I'm really curious about.
01:55:16.000 What was your first rabbit hole you went down?
01:55:18.000 For some it's 9-11, JFK.
01:55:20.000 What was your first and why?
01:55:22.000 Good night buddy.
01:55:28.000 Well...
01:55:30.000 You want to know the real well, you probably all know the real first rabbit hole I went down.
01:55:35.000 It's the most controversial And then after that probably The Israel lobby, I think that was probably the the biggest one I
01:55:52.000 Brock said there are decades where nothing happens and then weeks when decades happen.
01:55:56.000 Vladimir Lenin.
01:55:58.000 I feel this quote is very telling about the seemingly impending collapse of US unipolarity.
01:56:03.000 Wow, it's very profound.
01:56:04.000 Really, that's really impactful.
01:56:08.000 Basterisk says Tommy Sotomayor on Cozy.
01:56:11.000 I don't know who that is.
01:56:15.000 Smarty says Poo Poo Pee Pee.
01:56:17.000 Richard Spencer Groy versus Hey Nick!
01:56:20.000 Are you going to have Richard Spencer on Cozy?
01:56:22.000 I love his base takes on abortion.
01:56:24.000 Love your show.
01:56:24.000 Uh, no.
01:56:26.000 No, that's not going to happen anytime soon.
01:56:30.000 Okay!
