00:31:22.000 Everything.

00:31:23.000 Warming up.

00:31:26.000 Everybody dare to open up.

00:32:07.000 Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo!

00:32:36.000 It's going to be only America first.

00:32:41.000 America first. 0.99

00:32:45.000 The American people will come first once again. 0.96

00:33:12.000 America first! 0.99

00:33:15.000 America first!

00:34:00.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:34:01.000 You are watching America First.

00:34:03.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:34:04.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:34:06.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Monday, our first week, the first week of the show without YouTube, with the channel deleted.

00:34:19.000 So it's truly the beginning of a new era here on Monday.

00:34:23.000 We can restart the clock.

00:34:25.000 New age of America First.

00:34:27.000 And I'm excited to be back.

00:34:28.000 It just goes to show.

00:34:30.000 And everybody was talking about it, obviously, over the weekend.

00:34:33.000 And this is the big development in the America First universe.

00:34:37.000 I see all these people, like, celebrating that my channel, my show, was banned from YouTube.

00:34:44.000 Take that!

00:34:45.000 Oh, good!

00:34:45.000 Serves you right!

00:34:46.000 Whatever! 0.98

00:34:48.000 Okay, see you on Monday, right?

00:34:51.000 Here we are!

00:34:52.000 Hello!

00:34:52.000 Welcome back to America First!

00:34:54.000 Show goes on, right?

00:34:56.000 So, it's exciting to be back.

00:34:59.000 It's like a vindication.

00:35:00.000 It's like, look, we're still here.

00:35:02.000 We're still doing the show.

00:35:04.000 And we've got a lot to talk about.

00:35:05.000 It's gonna be a big show tonight.

00:35:07.000 Our featured story is actually kind of different than usual.

00:35:11.000 Tonight we're not really so much talking about current events.

00:35:15.000 It's inspired by current events, but it's just like a bigger subject we're talking about tonight, which is about these billionaires.

00:35:22.000 Something needs to be said.

00:35:24.000 Because we addressed this a little bit on Friday, talking about how the free market conservatives, like Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, and so on, are the vanguard of the capitalist class.

00:35:37.000 And that's a phrase which I really like.

00:35:39.000 I like saying it.

00:35:41.000 I like the idea.

00:35:43.000 It's so important.

00:35:44.000 And so we're gonna expand on that a little bit more tonight.

00:35:46.000 Like I said, we touched on it on Friday.

00:35:49.000 And why things are the way they are in the American right.

00:35:52.000 But tonight I want to talk about why things are in America, across the whole country, because of this class of ultra-wealthy billionaires.

00:36:01.000 And what got me thinking about this was because of the news today, the announcement that Jeff Bezos is going to spend $10 billion

00:36:11.000 On some climate change fund and I don't have the details right off the top of my head I've got a report that we're going to read but you might have seen this was all over Twitter all over the news that Jeff Bezos is starting a fund designed to combat climate change and he's starting off the fund with a 10 billion dollar contribution.

00:36:30.000 This is 7% of his net worth.

00:36:34.000 So that got me to thinking about all the other billions that are being spent.

00:36:38.000 In particular with Michael Bloomberg.

00:36:40.000 We've been talking a lot about the Democratic primary lately with the New Hampshire primary, the Iowa caucus, the Nevada caucus is coming up I think this Saturday?

00:36:50.000 It's coming up this weekend.

00:36:52.000 And the big question in the news today was whether or not Michael Bloomberg will qualify for the debates.

00:36:57.000 He's not on the ballot in Nevada, but he may qualify for the Nevada debate anyway.

00:37:03.000 We're good to go.

00:37:19.000 More than 400 million dollars on advertising alone and he said in the past that he's willing to spend up to 1 billion dollars or possibly more on the 2020 election.

00:37:29.000 So I see Jeff Bezos, I see Michael Bloomberg.

00:37:33.000 Very recently at the World Economic Forum George Soros said he was creating his Open Society Institute

00:37:41.000 Where he's putting one billion dollars into the fund and this is after billions of dollars pledged towards other political contributions and the list just goes on and on and on.

00:37:52.000 What has been the constant throughout the past year at least but you could go back even further than that it is the influence of huge money from these huge ultra wealthy individuals whether it's Michael Bloomberg and the billions

00:38:07.000 We're good to go.

00:38:24.000 It's the Koch brothers.

00:38:27.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars towards libertarians, open borders, free markets, all the rest.

00:38:33.000 Sheldon Adelson. 0.69

00:38:34.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars in the last two elections, the 2016 and then the midterms, on candidates who will support Israel in the interests of world Jewry.

00:38:44.000 The list just goes on and on so we're going to talk about that.

00:38:48.000 That's going to be our main story tonight about the billionaires and what must be done about them because this is maybe the biggest blind site of the American right.

00:38:57.000 It's not even really so much blind spot, it's turning a blind eye deliberately because of where their money comes from.

00:39:04.000 This is the biggest area the conservatives are maybe 0.56

00:39:08.000 Ignorant, at least when you're talking about the masses, the voters, the rank-and-file conservatives, just will not talk about, don't see the problem here, that we're never going to get our country on the right track if we don't address the problem of this insane influence of this cadre, this handful, 0.88

00:39:25.000 Of ultra-wealthy globalists, transnational people. 0.95

00:39:28.000 So that'll be our main story.

00:39:29.000 We'll be talking about that tonight.

00:39:31.000 It's about time.

00:39:32.000 It's about time we named them.

00:39:34.000 And then we'll also be talking about President Trump's immigration proposal, which is still being worked on.

00:39:41.000 You may remember this goes way back to May 2019.

00:39:46.000 That is when Jared Kushner and President Trump unveiled

00:39:50.000 The immigration proposal.

00:39:51.000 And we never saw a text.

00:39:53.000 We never saw anything written.

00:39:55.000 But you may remember we covered this on the show all the way last year back in May.

00:40:00.000 And it's Kushner's immigration proposal.

00:40:02.000 He's spearheading it.

00:40:03.000 It's the White House's proposal for comprehensive immigration reform.

00:40:08.000 And there was a recent article about this in Politico, which I think came out this week, talking about how they're still fighting, still slogging through, trying to win support for this from

00:40:18.000 We're good to go!

00:40:34.000 You look at CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA, all the immigration restrictionist groups, they don't support the President's immigration proposal because it does not reduce the overall amount of immigration.

00:40:46.000 So, we'll talk about that.

00:40:48.000 That'll be our other story.

00:40:50.000 And that should be our show.

00:40:51.000 It should be a pretty, pretty exciting, a lot of substance in the show tonight.

00:40:56.000 There's a lot, there's a lot to talk about.

00:40:58.000 A lot of ground to cover here with this immigration stuff and the billionaires.

00:41:03.000 Kind of an interesting show.

00:41:04.000 A little bit different than normal.

00:41:06.000 Nothing's been happening.

00:41:07.000 Nothing's been happening for like, weeks.

00:41:09.000 And it's so funny, I've been saying that for so long, and usually when I say, there's nothing in the news, whenever I complain there's nothing in the news, something terrible happens.

00:41:19.000 You know, last year I was complaining that there was nothing going on in the news for weeks, and then the Notre Dame Cathedral's on fire.

00:41:27.000 And then at some point last year I was complaining nothing was happening in the news, and some guy sets himself on fire in front of the White House.

00:41:37.000 And it seems like this happens every time that when I'm doing the show, nothing happens, I complain about it, something terrible, and I've been making a habit of complaining in the past couple of weeks, and then my YouTube channel gets banned.

00:41:47.000 So it's kind of fitting, you know?

00:41:50.000 It's kind of fitting that me being the prophet of doom, whenever I do my rain dance on the show for news, lightning strikes, something catches on fire, and sooner or later, I am the victim!

00:42:02.000 Now it's me!

00:42:03.000 Now it's my YouTube channel on fire, right?

00:42:05.000 I complain for weeks, nothing's happening!

00:42:08.000 And then I'm happening!

00:42:09.000 Then I'm in the news because something bad happens to me!

00:42:14.000 But I will persist.

00:42:16.000 Nothing has been happening, so we're having to get creative and formulate new shows, so it's gonna be fun tonight.

00:42:22.000 It's gonna be interesting.

00:42:23.000 But before we dive into any of that, I do just want to clarify something.

00:42:28.000 I said just some housekeeping things.

00:42:31.000 I said on Friday that we would have the alternative platform for the show tonight.

00:42:37.000 It's gonna come this week, but it won't be tonight.

00:42:41.000 I've been working on it with my web developer all weekend.

00:42:44.000 You might have seen that my website nicolaschafewentis.com was down over the weekend, and everybody was emailing me and tweeting at me and all the rest.

00:42:55.000 Dick, your website is down!

00:42:56.000 Your website is down!

00:42:57.000 I know it's down, which I guess I can't blame people for not knowing why.

00:43:02.000 They were just trying to help.

00:43:04.000 We're good to go!

00:43:12.000 Getting the site ready.

00:43:14.000 We ran into some like just very rudimentary simple technical issues.

00:43:18.000 We were trying to reach support because we're trying to set up all these different plugins and extensions and services.

00:43:24.000 I'm not a tech guy so I don't have the vocabulary to describe the process but in short we were putting everything together for my proprietary streaming site.

00:43:35.000 And we just needed some support from the people that were running some of the extensions and plugins, and they weren't in the office over the weekend.

00:43:43.000 I'm like, you know, links had expired, things were happening, I'm like trying to reach customer support, and it's like, oh no, they come back on Monday.

00:43:50.000 So we just have to iron out just some very, it's not complicated, just some simple problems, you know, launching this very complicated project.

00:43:59.000 It's not easy to put everything that we're putting together

00:44:04.000 You know, by myself.

00:44:05.000 Like, I don't have, obviously, some of these billionaires funding me, or huge teams, or anything like that.

00:44:10.000 So, it's sort of a demanding project that we've undertaken here, but it will be unveiled this week, I promise.

00:44:18.000 We just gotta put some finishing touches, polishing,

00:44:21.000 And then you'll be able to go to my website and watch the show and there will be all kinds of new functions and features and that way you can't really hurt the show at all.

00:44:31.000 Once that's set up it doesn't matter.

00:44:33.000 I could get banned on YouTube.

00:44:34.000 I could get banned on DLive.

00:44:36.000 I could get banned anywhere.

00:44:37.000 You can't ban me from my own site and it took a long time to figure everything out and

00:44:42.000 Find services that are ban resistant or you know find the best way to do it so that I was basically censorship proof and hopefully that's what we will have created by at some point in this week we'll be able to unveil it and you'll be able to load up my website and it'll have all the features of the show and more so just be on the lookout for that.

00:45:04.000 I think I said on Friday they would be ready by Monday

00:45:07.000 It's a little too soon.

00:45:08.000 It'll probably be ready in the next few days, so just be on the lookout for that.

00:45:12.000 Just make sure you're tuning in to Twitter, Telegram, the show on DLive, whatever it is, just to see any updates about that.

00:45:19.000 My apologies, we couldn't deliver right out of the gate, but it's this technical stuff.

00:45:23.000 It's a complicated business, but we've got something ready right now, but it just doesn't have all the features that we need it to have, so I thought better.

00:45:31.000 Let's launch it when it's totally complete.

00:45:34.000 And that way, everybody will be blown away.

00:45:36.000 People will say, wow, this Nick, he really pulled something off.

00:45:39.000 This is incredible.

00:45:40.000 It's going to be very exciting.

00:45:42.000 So that's just going to be put on pause.

00:45:44.000 Temporary delay for that.

00:45:45.000 No worries there.

00:45:47.000 So there's that.

00:45:48.000 The other thing I wanted to address, you know, obviously, if you didn't catch the show on Friday, and if you have been living under a rock,

00:45:56.000 For the past three days, yes, I have been banned on YouTube.

00:46:01.000 You know, that happened on Friday, so it's still very recent.

00:46:04.000 It feels like, to me, it's old news already because I've just been hearing about it constantly for the past, you know, 96 hours or so.

00:46:12.000 But, yes, if you didn't catch the show on Friday, my channel was terminated permanently, completely forever, three strikes.

00:46:21.000 The channel is no more.

00:46:22.000 So, in the meantime, the only place you're going to be able to find the show is DLive, and then until I get my platform set up on my website.

00:46:30.000 So just a heads up on that.

00:46:32.000 I am going to try and get my YouTube channel back.

00:46:35.000 It's worth a shot.

00:46:36.000 I put out a tweet this weekend where I tagged YouTube on Twitter, and I said, Hey!

00:46:41.000 Reinstate my channel!

00:46:43.000 I didn't even do anything wrong!

00:46:45.000 And some people are saying that was, like, groveling.

00:46:48.000 It's not groveling, it's just worth a shot.

00:46:51.000 If I could get my YouTube channel back, it would be nice.

00:46:55.000 It's sort of, there's no real good way to do it, because if I say, can I have my YouTube channel back, then people say, oh look, he's desperate, oh look, we heard him, we got him on the ropes.

00:47:04.000 I'll be fine no matter what.

00:47:06.000 I'll be fine on DLive, I'm building a solution that should be, like, permanent to do the show.

00:47:11.000 But it's nice to be on YouTube, because YouTube, obviously you've got billions of people that use YouTube that you can have exposure to through the algorithm, through the recommended section, and it's just easy, it's got all the bells and whistles, so...

00:47:28.000 I'm gonna make an effort.

00:47:29.000 I'm talking to Ryan Dawson.

00:47:31.000 Apparently he's gotten his channel reinstated like four times.

00:47:34.000 So I'm gonna try my best to get it appealed.

00:47:37.000 I'm gonna try my best to get it reinstated.

00:47:39.000 I honestly doubt it's gonna happen because it's like one of these political targeted things, but it's worth a shot.

00:47:46.000 If all it takes is minimal effort, if it takes a few steps, if I have to go to YouTube headquarters and, you know, whatever,

00:47:53.000 That's a small price to pay for being, you know, for getting another so many months or years on YouTube.

00:47:58.000 So we'll see if that happens, but I'm not like, it's like if it happens, it's nice.

00:48:02.000 If it doesn't happen, you know, we've been preparing for this day forever.

00:48:06.000 So I just, I just want to clarify that because I put that tweet out and I hate doing that kind of stuff.

00:48:11.000 I have, you know, I don't know if this is a bad trait, but I have so much pride

00:48:16.000 When it comes to these kinds of things, my pride is telling me, no!

00:48:20.000 We can do it without YouTube!

00:48:22.000 We don't need them!

00:48:23.000 It's better that I'm off YouTube!

00:48:24.000 But, you know, the practical side of me says, the more platforms I'm on, the better.

00:48:30.000 So we'll explore that, but no promises, and I'm not really optimistic.

00:48:33.000 We'll be fine no matter what, but...

00:48:35.000 It'd be nice.

00:48:35.000 So, that's just about the YouTube thing.

00:48:39.000 That's it, I think, of the way of housekeeping things.

00:48:42.000 There are just a couple of things I want to say before we dive into our current events, before we dive into everything we're going to talk about for the show.

00:48:50.000 Just want to say, hey, happy President's Day for all the wagees out there. 0.50

00:48:54.000 I don't know, do wagees get today off?

00:48:58.000 I was talking to some of my friends and some people have school off today and some people do not have school off today.

00:49:05.000 Some of my friends in college don't have school off.

00:49:08.000 My friends in high school do have school off.

00:49:10.000 And I don't know, do private sector people have the day off or is that just government workers?

00:49:16.000 I really have no idea.

00:49:17.000 I just do this show, and this show is on most days except for when I don't feel like it.

00:49:23.000 So, you know, President's Day is like if I eat too much pizza and I'm feeling queasy.

00:49:28.000 So, happy President's Day.

00:49:30.000 If you got the day off, congratulations. 1.00

00:49:32.000 If you didn't, you suck. 1.00

00:49:34.000 No, I'm kidding. 1.00

00:49:35.000 It's, uh, you know, whatever.

00:49:37.000 But I don't really have too much to say about President's Day.

00:49:39.000 Everybody has, like, a, you know... I watch all this other content and people usually have a hot take on the holidays.

00:49:45.000 Well, today's... and I usually do, too.

00:49:48.000 Today's Columbus Day, and here's something about Columbus.

00:49:51.000 Today's Martin Luther King Day, and here's, you know...

00:49:54.000 The holidays, it's just all so tiresome.

00:49:56.000 Eventually, it's like, what is there really to say about the Day of the Presidents?

00:50:00.000 I don't know.

00:50:00.000 Happy birthday to George Washington was the original purpose of the holiday, and like, I don't know, let's celebrate all the other presidents, too.

00:50:08.000 What do you want me to say about this?

00:50:09.000 So, some people are saying, well, these are my favorite presidents, and these are my least favorite.

00:50:13.000 I think that kind of stuff is just boring.

00:50:16.000 So, Happy Presidents Day, and then one more thing.

00:50:20.000 Which is a little bit more substantial before we dive into the show.

00:50:25.000 We talked about this last week as well.

00:50:27.000 It's this genre now of Bloomberg said something racist ten years ago.

00:50:34.000 We talked about this last week.

00:50:35.000 Some clips surfaced where he said that all the people committing crime in New York City are like non-white young adults, right?

00:50:43.000 What did he say last week?

00:50:45.000 There was some unearthed conversation, remark that he made in 2015 at some private dinner where he said you could take the profile of any criminal in New York City and Xerox it and that's like all the criminals.

00:50:57.000 And he said it's a black or Hispanic male between the ages of 16 and 25.

00:51:03.000 And oh, he got hounded from the right.

00:51:06.000 They call them a racist. 0.97

00:51:07.000 And I talked about this last week, how silly that is. 0.94

00:51:10.000 And here we are again today. 0.76

00:51:11.000 Exact same thing.

00:51:13.000 Exact same controversy.

00:51:15.000 Except something a little bit different.

00:51:18.000 Today there was another unearthed

00:51:21.000 There was an unearthed audio, secret audio from I don't even know when, but he made some comments. 0.97

00:51:26.000 It was actually on television, so it was public, where he said something to the effect that you've got like this underclass in New York City of black and Hispanic 16 to 25 year old men who are unemployed, have no job prospects, have no skills, they don't even know what skills they have, and they don't even know how to behave in the workplace. 0.55

00:51:47.000 And oh, he's getting blasted from all the right-wing people, from MAGA Twitter, from Conservative Inc Twitter, Benny Johnson, all the turning point proxies saying, wow, he's such a bigot, he is such a terrible person.

00:52:03.000 And I'm here reminding you once again that as much as I want to hate Michael Bloomberg, and I do,

00:52:08.000 You know, look at everything about Michael Bloomberg.

00:52:12.000 We're not a fan of him on the show.

00:52:13.000 So, I saw some people, I tweeted about this today, and because I wasn't calling him racist, people said, oh, he's in the pocket of Bloomberg.

00:52:21.000 I don't support Michael Bloomberg for president.

00:52:24.000 I didn't get paid, and I'm not asking, he's paying like $150 for influencers like, I'm sorry, that's not enough.

00:52:31.000 But you know, I'm not supporting Michael Bloomberg.

00:52:34.000 I would never support Michael Bloomberg.

00:52:36.000 But you make it hard when, how are you trying to convince me not to like him?

00:52:41.000 It's because, what, he's speaking frankly about black and Hispanic young men?

00:52:46.000 Sorry, but that only makes me like him more. 1.00

00:52:49.000 When he says things like that, it's true!

00:52:51.000 That's more honest.

00:52:53.000 It's more based.

00:52:55.000 That is more consistent with my ideology than literally anybody else running for president, including Donald Trump.

00:53:03.000 And Donald Trump has said things like this in the past.

00:53:06.000 If you go on his Twitter back in like 2012, there's a famous tweet he has, we retweet it all the time on our side of Twitter, where he said something like, 99% of all the murders in New York City are blacks and Hispanics. 0.95

00:53:20.000 True! 0.75

00:53:21.000 He doesn't talk like that anymore, and I guess Bloomberg isn't talking like that now, but I just see this across the board, and my take on this is the same as it was last week.

00:53:29.000 I just, but I just can't get over it.

00:53:32.000 All these MAGA people who are saying Michael Bloomberg said black and Hispanic young men don't know how to behave in the workplace and are unemployed and can't get jobs, and that's terrible! 0.94

00:53:42.000 And that makes him a bigot. 0.98

00:53:45.000 And that makes him a racist. 0.99

00:53:47.000 And that proves that the Democratic Party is actually the racist, bigoted party. 0.69

00:53:53.000 And here's where I'm going to switch it up a little bit from last week, and I put this out on Twitter today, I tweeted this.

00:54:00.000 This is the bottom line, which I think people don't understand, maybe to rephrase it in a more concise way. 0.99

00:54:06.000 Anti-racism is bullshit. 0.98

00:54:09.000 I'm not an anti-racist, and you shouldn't be either. 0.99

00:54:13.000 Anti-racism is not... I mean, that might be like a euphemism for something, but it's not a good thing.

00:54:20.000 It's not conservative.

00:54:21.000 It's not right-wing.

00:54:23.000 That is nothing that should be a part of our worldview as people that are of the right.

00:54:28.000 The country was not founded under anti-racism.

00:54:32.000 Anti-racism is not a Christian value.

00:54:36.000 It's not a conservative value.

00:54:39.000 Anti-racism is a radical, revolutionary, progressive, left-wing, anti-white, egalitarian idea.

00:54:48.000 And this is what has consumed the American right in recent years.

00:54:52.000 It's a very recent development that now people like Dinesh D'Souza and all these other like fake conservatives, people of no convictions, people that are not temperamentally naturally conservative,

00:55:06.000 ...bit of infiltrated that are now influencers or media personalities or whatever, they have embraced this idea of the American right as like the real liberal party.

00:55:17.000 They've embraced this idea and pushed this idea on conservatives across the country that we're actually the people that are not bigoted.

00:55:25.000 We're actually the people that are against racism.

00:55:28.000 We're actually the people that don't care what skin color you have or where you come from.

00:55:32.000 We're the ones that are open immigrants.

00:55:35.000 We're the ones that bleed red, white, and blue.

00:55:37.000 It's the left with their identity politics that are the real bigots.

00:55:42.000 It's the left that descends from the KKK Democrats and the slave-holding Democrats. 0.89

00:55:49.000 They're the racists all along.

00:55:51.000 And it's like a total paradigm shift, a total reversal, where it's like, wait, we just didn't realize, oh, no, we were the good guys according to the liberal paradigm all along, and they're the evil guys.

00:56:05.000 And it's all just a question of who inherits the legacy of so-called racism and who's going to break the mold fast enough.

00:56:13.000 And I can't tell you what a terrible thing that is for conservatism that we've decided to embrace that. 0.97

00:56:19.000 That now, and understand, is different from saying that Michael Bloomberg is a hypocrite. 0.83

00:56:25.000 Because you could say, and I've heard this said before, people say, well Nick, you don't get it.

00:56:30.000 We don't really believe any of this stuff.

00:56:32.000 That's what they say, as if that's supposed to make me feel better.

00:56:35.000 We don't really believe any of this.

00:56:37.000 We're just saying this because it has a tactical benefit.

00:56:41.000 If we call Michael Bloomberg a racist, Democrats won't vote for him.

00:56:45.000 And I get that, and that's fine. 0.97

00:56:46.000 Saying that Michael Bloomberg is a hypocrite, and he doesn't live up to the left-wing standard when it comes to racism, that's fine, because that's true. 0.97

00:56:55.000 But the problem becomes when people say, no, Michael Bloomberg is a bigot, and I'm not a leftist because I'm not a bigot like them, because I'm not somebody who's going to talk about black and Hispanic crime like Bloomberg. 0.98

00:57:08.000 I'm not going to talk about black and Hispanic

00:57:11.000 I don't know what you would call it. 1.00

00:57:13.000 Laziness, joblessness, whatever it is, like Bloomberg.

00:57:16.000 Therein lies the problem.

00:57:18.000 And I can see that happening.

00:57:19.000 If you think that's not happening, it's happening across the board.

00:57:22.000 And that was a big part of like the Turning Point USA thing.

00:57:25.000 So I know we said a lot of this last week, but it just really can't be said enough that that is not what we are about.

00:57:33.000 We are not about anti-racism.

00:57:35.000 Anti-racism is not our value, it is not our priority, that is not our moral framework.

00:57:41.000 Anybody that is perpetuating this anti-racism crusade, just take a look at who's doing it.

00:57:47.000 It's always socialists, communists, it's another group of people, it's liberals, leftists.

00:57:55.000 Radicals, revolutionaries, you know all this anti-racism stuff was born in the 60s and 70s and who do you think it was? 0.96

00:58:02.000 It was all these like Jewish intellectuals, it was the cultural Marxists, the post-modernists, it was the decolonialists, I mean it's like all the worst like 0.69

00:58:13.000 Political actors in American history are the ones that pushed it. 0.98

00:58:17.000 And now, 50 years later, people think it's a good idea that we're going to embrace that and make our whole worldview built on top of that.

00:58:25.000 Built on top of a moral crusade that came out of the most, like, degenerate politically time in American history.

00:58:32.000 And from the worst political groups in the country pushing the worst ideas.

00:58:37.000 Just so happens that Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela,

00:58:41.000 Barack Obama, all these characters, Louis Farrakhan, just so happens that that was their crusade.

00:58:47.000 But I'm sure that that has nothing to do with it, right? 0.58

00:58:50.000 I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it's all commies promoting that.

00:58:53.000 It's all people that want to destroy America, that hate America, hate Christianity, hate the family, that are pushing anti-racism.

00:59:00.000 I'm sure that's an innocuous idea that, you know, we could just incorporate into our thing.

00:59:05.000 Wrong! 0.86

00:59:06.000 That applies across the board by the way.

00:59:12.000 Racism, sexism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, all those words are just code words for everything that's good in our society.

00:59:21.000 Obviously.

00:59:22.000 Anybody that's fighting against those things is undermining all the traditional social institutions that make America great.

00:59:30.000 You know, racism, sexism, all those different things, patriarchy, like, that is, that is the sort of, I don't know what you would call that.

00:59:40.000 Those are the pillars.

00:59:41.000 And I'm not, like, defending racism as defined as, you know, hating minorities.

00:59:47.000 Like, that's not what I mean by that.

00:59:49.000 But all those words, all those crusades are meant to undermine those traditional social institutions and the social fabric.

00:59:56.000 So if you stand with that, you're undermining the social fabric.

00:59:59.000 If you're standing against, you know, how race relations are, and you're standing against how gender relations used to be, and families, and all that, like, just think about what you're doing.

01:00:08.000 So, anyway, that, that's, it's another, it's another day, it's another Bloomberg comment.

01:00:13.000 As much as I want to hate him for being a billionaire, buying our country, it's like, well, he seems to know what's up about race relations.

01:00:20.000 But, no, he's not, he's not based, he's not, he's not gonna govern like that, but, so I am saying that in a tongue-in-cheek way, but,

01:00:26.000 We're going to move on and talk about this immigration proposal.

01:00:31.000 from the president.

01:00:32.000 This isn't exactly like news.

01:00:34.000 It's really more like a reassessment at this point.

01:00:37.000 There was a big article in Politico that came out this week about the president's comprehensive immigration reform.

01:00:44.000 And by the way, this is different from the wall and law enforcement and illegal immigration.

01:00:50.000 Immigration policy can kind of be broken down into two parts.

01:00:54.000 You've got like a law enforcement angle, which is your illegal immigration.

01:00:58.000 That's building the wall.

01:00:59.000 That's addressing a lot of the loopholes with asylum seekers and child arrivals and things like that, which we've been talking about and that's been going relatively well for the past couple of months.

01:01:11.000 But the other part of the immigration picture obviously is the legal immigration, which is what is our immigration system?

01:01:19.000 How many people are we permitting to let in legally?

01:01:22.000 Who are we permitting to come into the country legally?

01:01:24.000 And so that has to be changed through legislation.

01:01:28.000 And the Trump administration has said as much that they've exhausted how much they could do with executive orders and regulations and enforcement from the executive branch.

01:01:36.000 Really that's more illegal immigration is the purview of the executive.

01:01:40.000 Because the president is the chief law enforcement officer and illegal immigration is fundamentally enforcing the law before anything else.

01:01:48.000 Illegal immigration is more about legislation.

01:01:50.000 So the Trump administration has kind of put this on a back burner.

01:01:54.000 They unveiled their plan.

01:01:56.000 We're good to go!

01:02:15.000 And I'll read you some excerpts from this report.

01:02:18.000 And the reason why we need to talk about this is because while the illegal immigration is getting better, the legal immigration is still very, very bad.

01:02:27.000 The problem is still very bad.

01:02:29.000 The problem is still imminent and urgent and not getting solved anytime soon.

01:02:35.000 And the president's proposal to fix it is horrible.

01:02:39.000 Terrible.

01:02:40.000 So we'll read this report and I'll kind of analyze where we are here.

01:02:45.000 This is from Politico.

01:02:47.000 It says, quote, In May 2019, President Donald Trump unveiled a much-anticipated proposal to overhaul America's immigration system and launched a quiet campaign to build support.

01:02:59.000 It's gone nowhere, and few believe it ever will go anywhere, I think is what they mean.

01:03:06.000 The White House is still regularly holding meetings with lawmakers, business leaders, and activists about its 600-page bill, but none of them see any hope for it to pass.

01:03:16.000 Some outright oppose the efforts, and no one has stepped forward to introduce the legislation, in part because the White House insists on retaining control over any changes, according to three people familiar with the situation.

01:03:28.000 Within the administration, a divide remains over the offering.

01:03:31.000 One Homeland Security official mocked it as a silly bill.

01:03:35.000 Outside the administration, some of the once sympathetic immigration activists are taking the rare step of opposing the White House's efforts through TV ads and email blasts.

01:03:45.000 Even business groups that broadly support the thrust of the bill prefer more narrow legislation that has a better chance of passing.

01:03:53.000 According to Jessica Vaughn, Director of Policy Studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, the substance is flawed because it doesn't address the most important reforms that the President's supporters want to see.

01:04:05.000 The strategy is flawed because they are trying to do too many things.

01:04:09.000 The proposal would admit more high-skilled, well-educated immigrants while reducing the number of people who enter the U.S.

01:04:16.000 based on family ties or whether their native country has a low rate of immigration.

01:04:20.000 So that is, by the way, chain migration and the diversity visa lottery is what they're talking about. 0.59

01:04:28.000 We're good to go! 0.70

01:04:49.000 The 1965 and 1990 immigration acts opened that right up and also the diversity visa lottery system, which says that countries that have a low rate of immigration like Central African countries or Southeast Asian countries, you know,

01:05:04.000 A lot of smaller countries.

01:05:06.000 If they don't have too many people coming from those countries to the United States, we throw the name of their country in a hat, we pull them out in a lottery system, and we bring over I think it's like 80,000 people a year through the diversity visa lottery.

01:05:19.000 So that's what they're talking about.

01:05:21.000 So the reform, what instead of having merit or rather instead of having family-based and the diversity-based immigration, they're going to have merit-based employment.

01:05:32.000 That's the broad strokes of the reform.

01:05:36.000 It says it also includes measures to boost security at the border including stricter visa screenings at the ports of entry and tighter asylum rules and expanding the implementation of E-Verify, which is an electronic system that allows businesses to check work authorization of employees.

01:05:52.000 It would also restructure the Department of Homeland Security and create an immigration czar.

01:05:57.000 The Deputy Director at Numbers USA, which supports immigration restrictions, said his group has concerns about the legislation primarily because it doesn't reduce the overall number of immigrants or make E-Verify mandatory.

01:06:10.000 So Numbers USA is a great organization.

01:06:14.000 They're one of the best immigration restriction groups that is in politics today.

01:06:19.000 And they are not supporting the president's legislation, as their director said, because as much as some of these reforms are needed and welcome and better and an improvement, it doesn't reduce the overall amount of immigrants.

01:06:32.000 It keeps the same and actually in some cases increases the amount of immigrants, but it's just different kinds of immigrants.

01:06:39.000 Well, that's really not an improvement. 0.99

01:06:41.000 And more than that, no mandatory e-verify, which is like a huge concession.

01:06:46.000 So that's Numbers USA.

01:06:48.000 It says more than a million immigrants are allowed into the United States each year on a permanent basis, but only a fraction, 140,000, come through employment categories.

01:06:58.000 The rest are relatives, refugees, or individuals from countries with low rates of immigration.

01:07:02.000 This is what I just said.

01:07:04.000 Business groups want the Trump administration to create more permanent slots for immigrants coming to the US, saying companies have struggled to fill jobs as the unemployment rate has fallen.

01:07:14.000 The latest plan does that, and according to the White House official, raises wages.

01:07:19.000 But business groups remain skeptical such a massive proposal can get through a divided Congress in an election year.

01:07:25.000 And so this is maybe the most ridiculous part about the whole bill, about the whole pitch altogether.

01:07:30.000 They're saying at once,

01:07:33.000 That the business leaders are happy with some parts of the bill because it's filling jobs that they need.

01:07:40.000 Because unemployment is so low, what does that mean?

01:07:43.000 When unemployment is low, there's not a lot of workers available.

01:07:47.000 There's not a huge labor pool for major firms to pull from.

01:07:51.000 If you're a firm and you're trying to increase your profit, you're gonna try and reduce your costs, you want lots and lots of cheap labor to hire in your factories or manufacturing or, you know, in other areas and in other kinds of companies, service information-based companies,

01:08:07.000 And so when the unemployment gets low, there's less employees.

01:08:11.000 When there's less employees, what do you have to do?

01:08:13.000 You've got to raise wages.

01:08:15.000 Raising wages means you're competing with other firms for a limited pool of labor, or if you raise wages, people will join the workforce.

01:08:25.000 You know, there's the unemployment rate and then there's also the labor participation rate.

01:08:29.000 So the unemployment rate is only the percentage of people that are participating in the labor force that are unemployed.

01:08:36.000 But the labor force participation is a whole other number that shows how many able-bodied people in the country that can work are counted in unemployment.

01:08:45.000 How many of them are seeking work.

01:08:47.000 So if you're raising wages, you're bringing people into the workforce, or you're competing with other firms for labor.

01:08:55.000 That's a good thing, by the way.

01:08:57.000 But what this immigration proposal does, as this report says, is it's increasing the amount of immigrants that are going to get jobs, employment-based visas, and so what does that have the effect of doing?

01:09:08.000 Obviously, if you're bringing more workers, it's what it says, the firms want more permanent slots for workers,

01:09:16.000 And that's what the bill does.

01:09:17.000 It creates more permanent slots, more permanent people coming over here on employment visas.

01:09:23.000 That means there's more workers in the country, there's a bigger labor pool, and that means that firms don't have to compete, they don't have to raise wages, they don't have to offer more benefits, anything like that.

01:09:34.000 It fits their bottom line.

01:09:36.000 So they say all that, okay.

01:09:38.000 And then in the same breath, they say, well, it also raises wages.

01:09:43.000 How is that possible?

01:09:45.000 How is that possible?

01:09:46.000 How does that make any sense at all?

01:09:48.000 That on the one hand, you're flooding the zone with more workers, with more labor, and that's all we've been doing for 60 years.

01:09:57.000 What do you think has fueled the enrichment of firms and millionaires and billionaires?

01:10:02.000 And Wall Street and all the major cities at the expense of the middle and the working class.

01:10:07.000 It is the constant and ever-increasing supply of cheap labor. 0.69

01:10:11.000 That is a story of our economy since 1965.

01:10:15.000 And for once we have a president who might be an immigration restrictionist who says at the bare minimum we have to put the American worker first.

01:10:23.000 And what does that mean?

01:10:24.000 It means you turn off the spigot and instead of having this flood of labor coming in that it's just like

01:10:33.000 What is the expression?

01:10:34.000 Shooting fish in a barrel for firms just be pulling labor left and right.

01:10:38.000 It's like free.

01:10:39.000 It's like taking candy.

01:10:43.000 Instead they would have to compete with one another and in doing so raising wages and making the workplace better and more benefits and so on.

01:10:51.000 You know, so I just don't understand how you have these two things at the same time. 0.77

01:10:55.000 How, on the one hand, it's more immigration flooding in and necessarily lower wages. 0.87

01:11:00.000 You know, if there's more of something, it's worth less. 0.92

01:11:04.000 If there's more of something, the price goes down.

01:11:06.000 This is basic supply and demand. 0.95

01:11:09.000 So to say these two things at the same time is impossible and ridiculous.

01:11:13.000 Well, we're going to increase employment, but also increase wages.

01:11:16.000 Well, it doesn't work like that, actually.

01:11:19.000 And people are responding to this on our side.

01:11:21.000 Mark Krikorian, who is, by the way, not a friend of the show. 0.79

01:11:24.000 Very nasty guy.

01:11:25.000 He is the Executive Director of Center for Immigration Studies. 1.00

01:11:29.000 CIS is a great organization, but Mark Krikorian is a dumb asshole. 0.99

01:11:34.000 He says that Kushner also called him looking for support for the bill. 0.99

01:11:39.000 Brett Krikorian said he rebuffed the overture from Kushner, telling Kushner he couldn't back a plan that doesn't reduce the total number of immigrants.

01:11:47.000 He said, quote, there is zero chance this proposal could become law in an election year with a divided Congress.

01:11:53.000 That ship has sailed.

01:11:54.000 And that's according to RJ Hauman, who is a director at the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which also wants to reduce the amount of immigration in the United States.

01:12:04.000 He says, quote, however, things could be different in 2021 after the American people choose between an immigration system that puts them first and whatever open borders prescription Democrats settle on.

01:12:16.000 So the main idea here in this article is number one about the proposal itself and then to me about where immigration restrictionists are.

01:12:27.000 I'm an immigration restrictionist.

01:12:29.000 That's probably my most strongly held belief, my biggest priority. 0.98

01:12:33.000 As a political person, you know, according to my political beliefs, that's the most important thing we have to take care of, is restricting immigration. 0.92

01:12:42.000 I'm in favor of an indefinite moratorium on all immigration, which means that for the time being, indefinitely, with no set time period, no set deadline, 0.96

01:12:54.000 We shut down all immigration. 0.95

01:12:56.000 And you could have something like net zero immigration where you get net zero means that as many people are leaving the United States, that's how many you can take in. 0.72

01:13:05.000 So for example, if like 300,000 people leave the United States in a year, you could bring in 300,000.

01:13:11.000 I think even that might be a little excessive.

01:13:13.000 I'm not a policy wonk but we basically just got to shut it down.

01:13:17.000 We've got more than a million people coming in legally every year.

01:13:20.000 Millions coming in illegally every year.

01:13:22.000 We've got to shut all of it down indefinitely.

01:13:26.000 Some people said 10-year moratorium.

01:13:28.000 I say indefinite.

01:13:29.000 Who knows where we'll be in 10 years.

01:13:31.000 We could be worse than we are now.

01:13:32.000 So just shut it down indefinitely and we'll figure out when we open it back up. 1.00

01:13:37.000 That's how immigration has worked forever in the United States.

01:13:41.000 For as long as we've had the United States, you have a wave of immigration, and then you have basically a moratorium.

01:13:47.000 I don't think they've called it that in the past, but that is traditionally and conventionally what happens.

01:13:53.000 You get a big wave, we have too much immigration, people get sick of it, and then they shut it down for 10 years.

01:13:59.000 And then they open it up, and then they shut it down. 0.99

01:14:02.000 And we just keep getting more every year for the past 60 years.

01:14:05.000 So what if we shut it down for 60 years?

01:14:08.000 That would be commensurate to how long it's been open and increasing.

01:14:11.000 And maybe that sounds like a long time.

01:14:13.000 So maybe it's 50 or 40.

01:14:14.000 But indefinite.

01:14:15.000 Until we can figure it out, we should not take any more substantial amounts of people.

01:14:19.000 That's my position.

01:14:21.000 And I think the best organizations in the country

01:14:24.000 When it comes to immigration restriction are the Center for Immigration Studies, the CIS, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which is FAIR, and NumbersUSA.

01:14:35.000 All three of those organizations constitute like the strongest, the most vocal, the most consistent immigration restrictionist voices on the American right.

01:14:45.000 I guess in the country in general.

01:14:46.000 I don't even think they're strictly right-wing.

01:14:49.000 Not a single one of those groups supports President Trump's immigration proposal.

01:14:54.000 And that should tell you something.

01:14:55.000 I think that should tell you all you need to know with this immigration proposal and what a huge disappointment it is.

01:15:01.000 And that gets to the other big point, which is what exactly is in the immigration proposal.

01:15:05.000 People like Charlie Kirk and others have said that this is a patriotic immigration plan.

01:15:10.000 It really isn't.

01:15:11.000 It changes the structure of who's coming into the country, but it doesn't change the overall numbers.

01:15:16.000 Or, better yet, it doesn't reduce the overall numbers. 0.94

01:15:20.000 That's the first thing that's wrong with it.

01:15:22.000 It doesn't matter if people are coming here because they've got a job lined up, or they're coming here because they got a relative in the country.

01:15:29.000 They're still coming here!

01:15:30.000 By the millions!

01:15:32.000 That's insane!

01:15:33.000 We can't handle that!

01:15:34.000 We can't handle, certainly, people that are coming here and they don't have a job lined up, and they're just going to take welfare, and they're low-skilled and, you know, underemployed or whatever.

01:15:45.000 We definitely can't handle that, which is what the current system is, but we still can't handle if we have a million people coming in and they're highly skilled, because that still does damage. 0.99

01:15:55.000 In some ways, it actually does more damage, because the people that are coming in for the family-based migration

01:16:02.000 Maybe they're pulling entitlements.

01:16:03.000 Maybe they're pulling a check from the government.

01:16:05.000 They're a public charge or something like that.

01:16:07.000 And that's bad.

01:16:08.000 And they're coming into these cities. 0.92

01:16:09.000 They're going into, in a lot of cases, these ghettos or these ethnic enclaves.

01:16:13.000 Or they're taking really low-wage work or really low-skill work.

01:16:17.000 And that's bad too.

01:16:18.000 But think about the alternative.

01:16:20.000 When you bring in all high skilled STEM workers or tech workers or, you know, other highly educated workers that would be permitted through employment visas, who are they displacing?

01:16:31.000 They're displacing all the college kids, all the advanced degree holders in our country that come from our universities.

01:16:40.000 It's hard to argue that that's actually better. 0.98

01:16:42.000 Some people are saying, well, you know, we're getting the same amount, but it's better because, well, these are high IQ, highly educated Indians and Chinese.

01:16:49.000 I don't know if that's better.

01:16:51.000 Because it's like, instead of importing an underclass, we're importing a new middle class. 0.94

01:16:57.000 And who do you think they're replacing? 0.83

01:16:59.000 Our middle class!

01:16:59.000 That's us!

01:17:01.000 That's not a good thing. 1.00

01:17:02.000 I would rather have an immigrant underclass than an immigrant overclass, wouldn't you? 1.00

01:17:07.000 If we're going to totally transform the demographics of the country, in my opinion. 1.00

01:17:14.000 I would rather be safe and secure as a middle or upper middle class or even a working class person, right?

01:17:20.000 And be secure in my status as a Native American and maybe you have people that, through our benevolence, we've allowed to come in and they've got the rough neighborhoods and whatever. 0.87

01:17:30.000 As opposed to people are coming in and they're doing better than us, and you go to the rich districts of your cities, the financial districts or whatever, and it's all immigrants that are driving the fancy cars and taking the best jobs, and they have the best salaries, and they have the most influence? 0.98

01:17:45.000 That would be worse! 0.99

01:17:46.000 How is that better?

01:17:48.000 Neither of them are good, by the way.

01:17:50.000 They're both bad. 1.00

01:17:51.000 We just have to have less immigration. 1.00

01:17:54.000 I don't care who comes in, as long as we get less of them. 1.00

01:17:57.000 We could have, you know, and I don't know, criminals or drug dealers coming in, but we could have people with no skills, no education, whatever. 0.97

01:18:05.000 I prefer 100,000 people with nothing lined up in the country than a million people are going to come in and take jobs away from my peers that just graduated college with $100,000 in debt for advanced degrees, and they take all the best jobs, and we got to work the shitty jobs. 0.69

01:18:22.000 We just have to reduce all the numbers.

01:18:24.000 That's the first thing that's wrong with the bill.

01:18:26.000 The second thing that's wrong with the bill is no E-Verify.

01:18:29.000 E-Verify, if you don't know, is a system where if an immigrant or anybody applies to work for a job, the employer, the firm, will have to double check, they'll have to verify with the Department of Homeland Security that they are in the country legally.

01:18:46.000 That means that their visa hasn't expired.

01:18:48.000 That means that they're not an illegal immigrant.

01:18:51.000 Mandatory E-Verify means that you must verify for any firm that the person here is supposed to be where they are. 0.98

01:18:59.000 And you understand that if we had mandatory E-Verify, this would be a huge game-changer because all the jobs would dry up for everybody that's here illegally. 0.93

01:19:08.000 Virtually all the jobs. 1.00

01:19:09.000 You'd still probably have some like, you know, these like off-the-books type businesses like these landscaping companies or

01:19:15.000 You know, cash businesses, stuff like that. 0.94

01:19:17.000 In these ethnic enclaves in particular, you have a lot of fraud. 0.82

01:19:20.000 But across the board, jobs would begin to dry up. 1.00

01:19:24.000 For people that don't belong here. 1.00

01:19:26.000 And if the jobs dry up and they can't get entitlements or anything like that, they'll just go home. 1.00

01:19:31.000 They'll just leave.

01:19:32.000 This is what Mitt Romney talked about in 2012, the self-deportation idea. 0.98

01:19:37.000 And it's totally true. 1.00

01:19:38.000 If immigrants know that they can't get a job here, they'll leave. 1.00

01:19:42.000 And better yet, if people that have yet to come here know that if they arrive here they won't have a job when they get here, they won't even come in the first place. 0.98

01:19:50.000 And so these are like the two biggest things that are necessary in an immigration proposal. 0.99

01:19:58.000 Reducing the amount of immigrants altogether and mandatory e-verify. 0.96

01:20:02.000 These are essential as far as meaningful immigration restrictionist immigration reform goes. 1.00

01:20:08.000 You have to have them, otherwise you might as well not bother.

01:20:12.000 Neither of these things are in the bill.

01:20:13.000 It's unacceptable and

01:20:16.000 As far as this administration goes, I've been more white-pilled with the wall.

01:20:20.000 The contracts look like they're coming together.

01:20:22.000 The money is being allocated for the wall.

01:20:25.000 The loopholes are being closed.

01:20:26.000 Enforcement is better than it was a year ago.

01:20:29.000 But look, that's one part of the conversation.

01:20:33.000 If that's beginning to look better, that's half of the story.

01:20:37.000 And you know, that's not exactly half, but you know, that's one part of the immigration problem. 0.92

01:20:42.000 The other part is bad and getting worse.

01:20:44.000 And the Trump administration is going to facilitate it getting worse.

01:20:48.000 This is no good.

01:20:49.000 We have to change the paradigm, not just on illegal immigration, which is no amnesty, no pathway to citizenship, no legalization.

01:20:58.000 The conversation should be, how many do we deport?

01:21:01.000 And how high should be the structure on the border?

01:21:04.000 So that paradigm is moving.

01:21:06.000 But what about legal immigration?

01:21:07.000 It's like no progress.

01:21:09.000 This proposal is hardly any different from what any of the other candidates would have proposed.

01:21:14.000 Cruz, Rubio, any of these guys.

01:21:17.000 And maybe it's the same as what Mitt Romney and John McCain proposed.

01:21:21.000 The sort of merit-based nonsense.

01:21:24.000 It's no good.

01:21:25.000 And they try to pitch it like this is immigration patriotism.

01:21:28.000 Charlie Kirk always pivoted towards the RAISE Act, or the President's Immigration Proposal.

01:21:34.000 You know, if you remember during the Groyper Wars, we would go up and ask Charlie Kirk, how do you support mass legal immigration?

01:21:40.000 And he changed his mind along the way and said, well, I don't support that anymore.

01:21:44.000 I support the RAISE Act.

01:21:45.000 And you know, that's a great thing.

01:21:47.000 Well, the RAISE Act is never going to pass.

01:21:50.000 And as far as I know, that's dead.

01:21:52.000 We have is the President's immigration proposal, which doesn't reduce immigration.

01:21:56.000 And so like, up, down, visas, lottery, chain migration, it really doesn't matter if it's still millions of legal immigrants.

01:22:05.000 We're not making any progress. 0.99

01:22:06.000 That's really no better.

01:22:08.000 In a lot of ways, it could actually be worse.

01:22:10.000 So...

01:22:12.000 Two thumbs down.

01:22:13.000 Thumb down for no E-Verify.

01:22:15.000 Thumb down for no reduction in overall immigration. 1.00

01:22:19.000 This proposal sucks. 1.00

01:22:21.000 It's no good. 1.00

01:22:21.000 Unacceptable. 1.00

01:22:23.000 I'm not going to say I wouldn't vote for the President because of this because, you know, if you say that we shouldn't vote for the President because his immigration proposal is bad, well then that's obviously a logical inconsistency because then just take a look at what the Democrats are proposing, you know.

01:22:39.000 Democrats are proposing it's not illegal to come to the country undocumented, right?

01:22:44.000 Without your papers, without a visa.

01:22:46.000 Democrats are saying decriminalize illegal immigration, open borders, jam up the courts, citizenship means nothing, borders mean nothing, and people are like, I won't vote for Trump because his immigration plan is bad.

01:22:59.000 Well, what does that say about the alternative then, you know?

01:23:01.000 But I will just say it's a big disappointment.

01:23:03.000 Hopefully, if he wins the White House, he'll win the House of Representatives.

01:23:08.000 And if he wins the House of Representatives and the Senate, then we could get a good immigration bill.

01:23:13.000 I mean, it's like, possible.

01:23:14.000 I'm not gonna say it's gonna happen, but at least then it's possible.

01:23:17.000 It's not possible if they divided Congress.

01:23:20.000 So that's the immigration proposal.

01:23:21.000 It's no good.

01:23:23.000 We're gonna move on and talk about Bloomberg and about Jeff Bezos and all this, our billionaire segment.

01:23:31.000 And I don't know how this is gonna go over.

01:23:33.000 I don't really know.

01:23:34.000 I don't do these complex analytics for my audience and who watches this show.

01:23:39.000 I don't know how many people watch this show are libertarians or, you know, very mainstream conservatives, free market people, anything like that.

01:23:49.000 But I'm none of those things.

01:23:51.000 When it comes to economics, I'm not a socialist.

01:23:57.000 I'm not a communist.

01:23:59.000 I'm not even really left-wing on economics.

01:24:01.000 I'm basically a centrist.

01:24:03.000 I don't have an ideological conviction about the economy.

01:24:06.000 I don't view the economy through an ideological lens.

01:24:10.000 I think that what we should do with the economy is what's best for the nation.

01:24:14.000 And whether that infringes on the tenets of the free market, religion, don't care.

01:24:20.000 And whether that means eating the rich and the tenets of communism, don't care.

01:24:25.000 What I want is an economy that works for families, it works for the nation,

01:24:31.000 It works for the middle class.

01:24:32.000 It ensures order, stability, political stability in particular, that kind of thing.

01:24:38.000 That is what I care about.

01:24:39.000 And pursuant to those ends, I think we should do whatever is in our power, whether that's through the government, whether that's through the private sector.

01:24:46.000 You know, for example, I believe in private property.

01:24:49.000 I think the price system is good.

01:24:51.000 You know, price is communicating things about relative scarcity.

01:24:55.000 That's fine.

01:24:56.000 Markets are generally a good thing.

01:24:59.000 Lower taxes and having a competitive economy, I think, is a good thing.

01:25:04.000 But on the other hand, we clearly have a lot of perverse incentives in the economy about households, about marriage, about education, health care, all kinds of things.

01:25:13.000 And I'm willing to say that the government should intervene when money, when markets, produce bad effects, bad externalities.

01:25:22.000 That is how I think about the economy.

01:25:23.000 So I'm going to preface what I'm about to say by saying that.

01:25:28.000 You know, there are some people that watch this show and think, oh, he's not on board with a total free market, he's a communist.

01:25:34.000 And, you know, conversely, a lot of left-leaning people will say that I'm the same free market guy as Ben Shapiro.

01:25:41.000 Neither is true.

01:25:42.000 I really am thinking beyond capitalism and socialism.

01:25:45.000 And that gets to the featured story for tonight, which is about billionaires.

01:25:49.000 We have to talk about this.

01:25:51.000 Conservatives don't like to talk about it because they think that if you're talking about millionaires and billionaires, you sound like Bernie Sanders.

01:25:58.000 And if you're talking about billionaires, then what you're talking about is equality of outcome, right?

01:26:04.000 You're talking about inequality, and when you're talking about inequality, that means wealth redistribution, and wealth redistribution is bad.

01:26:11.000 Rand Paul said so.

01:26:12.000 Ron Paul told me so, right?

01:26:15.000 But we have to talk about the pernicious influence of big money in our country, particularly of concentrated wealth, super wealth, in the hands of these ultra-wealthy individuals.

01:26:26.000 And what do I mean by this?

01:26:27.000 Why are we talking about this tonight?

01:26:29.000 Well, I saw in the news today, and you might have seen, that Jeff Bezos, richest guy in the world, richest man in modern history, bar none,

01:26:38.000 is creating a $10 billion fund to stop climate change.

01:26:42.000 And I'll read you just a couple of brief reports about these different people and their activities.

01:26:47.000 This is about Jeff Bezos.

01:26:49.000 It says Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos announced Monday that he is committing $10 billion to fight climate change, which he calls the biggest threat to our planet.

01:26:59.000 Bezos says the funds will go toward the creation of the Bezos Earth Fund.

01:27:05.000 Nice knock down my mouse there.

01:27:07.000 This global initiative, he says, will fund scientists, activists, NGOs, any effort that offers a real possibility to help preserve and protect the natural world, he wrote in an Instagram post.

01:27:19.000 He goes on, I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on the planet.

01:27:30.000 And so you can be assured that in some capacity, this is like a political slush fund.

01:27:35.000 If he says it's going towards activism and NGOs, that is political activity, right?

01:27:41.000 It's going towards scientists.

01:27:43.000 Okay.

01:27:43.000 Yeah.

01:27:43.000 I mean, maybe, maybe it's going to go to innovators and scientists, some of it, but if it says activists and NGOs, what do you think that is?

01:27:51.000 It's a lot of political lobbying, a lot of political activity, protests, that kind of thing.

01:27:57.000 $10 billion slush fund.

01:27:59.000 And that's easy for this guy.

01:28:01.000 Jeff Bezos, his net worth is $126.9 billion.

01:28:04.000 That's after he gave $30 billion to his wife in that divorce.

01:28:13.000 So, $30 billion to his wife.

01:28:16.000 He's still the richest man in modern history with $130 billion.

01:28:20.000 $10 billion he pledges.

01:28:22.000 That's 7% of his net worth.

01:28:24.000 That is pocket change for somebody like Jeff Bezos.

01:28:28.000 He could just do $10 billion and that's more money than anybody like you or me or anybody you know combined will ever see in their entire lives.

01:28:37.000 Just throwing it out there for a political slush fund.

01:28:39.000 So I saw that.

01:28:40.000 And of course this comes on the heels of all kinds of other billionaire political activity.

01:28:45.000 Michael Bloomberg.

01:28:48.000 This is according to the New York Times.

01:28:49.000 Michael Bloomberg has made it clear he's going to try to buy the presidency.

01:28:53.000 His campaign spent over 188 million dollars of his own money in just the last quarter of 2019.

01:29:02.000 And actually, it's even a shorter amount of time than that.

01:29:04.000 In five weeks, the last five weeks of 2019, from when he announced to the end of 2019, he spent nearly $200 million.

01:29:14.000 More than all the other candidates combined.

01:29:17.000 And, on top of that, as of this morning, today, $417.7 million on advertising alone.

01:29:22.000 So, we're already in the ballpark of $600 million.

01:29:32.000 The general election hasn't even started for Michael Bloomberg.

01:29:35.000 One guy.

01:29:35.000 He says he's prepared to spend a billion dollars of his 64 billion dollar fortune.

01:29:41.000 As of this week Bloomberg's 2020 campaign has 2,400 staffers with 2,000 located across the country and 400

01:29:50.000 We're good to go.

01:30:06.000 So he's got the most staffers, they're the best paid, they're the most catered to, he's hired so many people with his political apparatus that other campaigns are struggling to find political operatives for their campaigns.

01:30:19.000 There's a big story about this last week, that state and local campaigns can't even find anybody to hire because Bloomberg has literally hired everybody, like all the staffers in the country.

01:30:31.000 Bloomberg, 64, 61, somewhere around there, billion dollar fortune,

01:30:35.000 Could spend up to and more than 1 billion dollars on this campaign alone.

01:30:40.000 Recently, then, there's the case of George Soros.

01:30:43.000 This was at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

01:30:47.000 He pledged 1 billion dollars for a new university network project to battle the erosion of civil society in a world ruled by quote, would be an actual dictators and be set by climate change.

01:30:58.000 Speaking at the forum, Soros said humanity was at a turning point and the coming years would determine the fate of rulers like Donald Trump and Xi Jinping as well as the world itself.

01:31:08.000 He described the plan of the Open Society University Network as the most important project of his life and would be an international platform for teaching and research that existing universities all over the world would be able to join.

01:31:21.000 He said quote to demonstrate our commitment to this organization we are contributing 1 billion dollars to it.

01:31:28.000 And that's on top of billions of dollars that he's already pledged to other slush funds.

01:31:32.000 Billions of dollars.

01:31:33.000 He's worth 8.3 billion dollars in total.

01:31:36.000 Then there's the case of Sheldon Adelson, a right-wing character.

01:31:41.000 You know, Bloomberg, Bezos, Soros, these are all obviously ostensibly left-wing people.

01:31:46.000 But then you've also got the case of Sheldon Adelson or the Koch brothers on our side.

01:31:51.000 The Guardian reported that Sheldon and Miriam Adelson donated a total of $113 million in the 2018 midterm elections.

01:31:56.000 There were $33.4 billion collectively.

01:31:57.000 And the Koch brothers,

01:32:04.000 I couldn't even find reliable information on them, actually.

01:32:07.000 I scoured the internet, but it's safe to say that they've spent something like a billion dollars in the ballpark over the last ten years in politics.

01:32:17.000 And so all of this is to say, this is wrong.

01:32:20.000 This is deeply wrong in our country.

01:32:23.000 It's not wrong that people can have a fortune.

01:32:26.000 It's not wrong that people can become rich in our country.

01:32:30.000 I don't think there's anything wrong with that, of course.

01:32:33.000 But there is something wrong that our country is basically just up for sale.

01:32:37.000 That when it comes down to influence, political power, making decisions that matter for millions and millions of people, often it comes down to a handful of people that have most of the resources.

01:32:50.000 You know, somebody like George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Bezos, Sheldon Adelson, and the Koch brothers.

01:32:56.000 You know, this is five people who will wield more influence over the lives of 330 million people than probably all the other people put together.

01:33:05.000 I don't know if that's safe to say, but something like that.

01:33:09.000 That distribution of power is wrong.

01:33:12.000 That distribution of power is not sustainable or tenable.

01:33:15.000 I don't know how you could see or think that we're living in a free society

01:33:21.000 We're living in any kind of a republic or the society that the founding fathers intended to have.

01:33:27.000 If you have that kind of a discrepancy between the power of, you know, a handful of people and all the rest, that just simply isn't what anybody had in mind.

01:33:36.000 Because, and this is what I hear all the time from libertarians is, well, there's no alternative to this.

01:33:41.000 This is the free market at work.

01:33:44.000 People make $150 billion, and then they can buy the presidency, and they can buy the Congress, and they could buy elements of the private sector.

01:33:51.000 You know, they could basically just exert more influence than just about everybody else combined.

01:33:57.000 This is the free market at work.

01:33:59.000 And more than that, this is what the Founding Fathers intended.

01:34:02.000 You know, the Founding Fathers were basically crypto-libertarians, and their overriding conviction was the free market, capitalism, and so what they wanted was for Jeff Bezos, with $130 billion, to be able to spend tens of billions of dollars, or be able to spend tens of billions of dollars on whatever political activities that he so chooses.

01:34:23.000 And the same is true with Michael Bloomberg.

01:34:25.000 You know, this is the Founding Fathers' dream. 0.77

01:34:27.000 That a Jewish guy in New York City could accumulate $65 billion and buy his way into the presidency by buying a political army across 50 states and bribing everybody on his way there from journalists to pundits to party officials to everybody else buying advertisements, commercials, door knockers, field offices, employees, all the rest. 0.94

01:34:55.000 Obviously, this is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind. 0.90

01:34:59.000 And I'm not even defending everything that the Founding Fathers set out for our country, but I'll tell you, it wasn't that.

01:35:05.000 This is the argument that we hear.

01:35:06.000 We hear that what our country is about is freedom, and freedom means that rich people can do whatever they want.

01:35:12.000 Well, that's wrong!

01:35:13.000 That is completely wrong.

01:35:15.000 What the Founding Fathers set out to do in our country, what the country is based on, was about distribution of power.

01:35:21.000 Power checking itself.

01:35:24.000 Right?

01:35:25.000 The Founding Fathers did not create a democracy to have the free society ever.

01:35:29.000 They didn't set up even a totally free market.

01:35:31.000 What they set up was a very sophisticated system of checks and balances, federalism where the states have power and the federal government has other powers.

01:35:41.000 Three branches in the federal government.

01:35:43.000 You've got judicial, legislative, executive, so one side doesn't battle the other.

01:35:48.000 You've got a chamber in the House for the people, a chamber in the Senate for the states.

01:35:53.000 You've got some elements of the country that are elected by popular vote, some elements where the aristocracy exercises restraint.

01:36:01.000 And I'm not defending the founding father system is perfect.

01:36:04.000 I'm not one of these ride-or-die constitutionalists or anything like that.

01:36:09.000 I'm not naive about the fact that small government and what the Founding Fathers created is never coming back, but it is to say that we're told that this is what conservatism is.

01:36:18.000 Conservatism is conserving the Founding Fathers, and the Founding Fathers meant that this is what it's supposed to be.

01:36:23.000 Well, that's not true.

01:36:25.000 And so once we dispense with that myth, once we dispense with this idea that, you know, having billionaires buy things is part of our sacred tradition, let's talk about the merits of a system like this.

01:36:35.000 Once we've dispensed with the idea that this is what they would have wanted, this is constitutional.

01:36:41.000 Let's just talk about whether it's practical, whether this is something that's sustainable for us to have in the society, or what the benefits are for us as conservatives.

01:36:50.000 Free market people really do believe that what is critical to having a moral society

01:36:56.000 Is that the government doesn't interfere in the economy.

01:36:59.000 That's what I meant earlier when I said I don't have any ideological convictions about the economy.

01:37:03.000 The economy has become ideological for conservatives.

01:37:07.000 It's actually even become more than that.

01:37:09.000 It's almost religious or moral.

01:37:11.000 They believe that a free market is not just good for the country.

01:37:14.000 They think it's the only moral way to govern a country.

01:37:17.000 Because if there's too much government interference, that interferes with your God-given rights, your natural rights to

01:37:24.000 What, buy and sell across state lines or across international lines?

01:37:29.000 Something like that?

01:37:30.000 That's their conviction, that a free market is a moral imperative.

01:37:34.000 They think it is a moral imperative, in other words, that people are able to amass these giant fortunes and then do whatever it is that they want with them.

01:37:43.000 And whatever effect that has, positive or negative, we can have no say in that because that is simply a moral way to conduct the society. 0.77

01:37:51.000 This is why you get a lot of like free market libertarian people that are just boneheads.

01:37:57.000 They might even concede that the free market and that the current paradigm, the current system of rich people dominating the political conversation

01:38:06.000 They might even concede that this has negative effects, but they will argue that it is necessary anyway because it is the only moral way to have it this way.

01:38:16.000 Even if it's bad, that's the only moral way to conduct our society.

01:38:20.000 I think that's wrong too.

01:38:21.000 We have to dispense with that logic as well.

01:38:23.000 We have to think what is best for the country, what is best for the people in the country, not what is in the abstract natural rights doctrine, what is best for the individual from some Lockean perspective.

01:38:37.000 That is fundamentally an immoral or amoral way of thinking.

01:38:40.000 We have to think what is best for all the people in the society.

01:38:45.000 What is best for the working class, middle class, the upper class?

01:38:48.000 What is best for the society as a whole organism, as an ecosystem, as people relate to one another, the stability of the country?

01:38:56.000 All these things must be taken into consideration.

01:38:59.000 And as conservatives, we have to look at things not just like the economy, but the entire picture of the country.

01:39:05.000 And we could look at things like immigration, for example.

01:39:07.000 It's actually perfect that we talked about immigration and now this.

01:39:11.000 Let's look at immigration.

01:39:12.000 This is one of the most important issues in the country. 1.00

01:39:15.000 Immigration is probably the biggest problem that we face. 1.00

01:39:18.000 It's the number one threat to our country. 1.00

01:39:21.000 Number one threat to our identity.

01:39:22.000 Number one threat to the stability and orderliness, cohesion of the country.

01:39:26.000 Number one threat to our culture. 1.00

01:39:28.000 It's eroding the working and middle class. 1.00

01:39:30.000 It is the biggest threat to our country. 1.00

01:39:33.000 What's causing mass immigration? 1.00

01:39:35.000 If it's so bad for the country, why do we always get it? 1.00

01:39:39.000 Why do we always get more of it? 1.00

01:39:41.000 Even though people, if you look at all the polls, if you look at all the opinion surveys, even if you look at a lot of ballot measures that have been passed in the different states over the past 25 years, people universally want less immigration. 0.99

01:39:55.000 Why do we always get more? 0.77

01:39:56.000 Who wants more immigration? 0.96

01:39:58.000 Well, the answer is obvious.

01:40:00.000 It's the rich.

01:40:01.000 It's the billionaires.

01:40:03.000 The firms.

01:40:04.000 It's the people that own the firms. 1.00

01:40:06.000 The firms that employ immigrants. 0.96

01:40:09.000 You know, we just got done talking about it.

01:40:10.000 Very simple equation.

01:40:12.000 You've got a firm that wants to maximize its profit.

01:40:16.000 Well, how do you do that?

01:40:17.000 Increase revenue, decrease cost.

01:40:19.000 What's the biggest cost for most firms?

01:40:22.000 It's labor.

01:40:23.000 It's employees.

01:40:24.000 How do you reduce the costs?

01:40:25.000 Well, if you have a constant supply of cheap labor, or just labor in general, but people that'll take less pay, or if you have so many people in the country, everybody will be forced to take less pay.

01:40:36.000 You don't have to pay people as much.

01:40:38.000 You can have more profit.

01:40:40.000 There is a natural financial incentive in a free country, in a free market, for the ultra-wealthy to lobby for more immigration.

01:40:49.000 It is clear as day, inarguable, that that economic incentive exists.

01:40:55.000 That all these titans of industry will use their money, insofar as it is cost effective, insofar as that's going to create a positive return, to use their money to bend Congress

01:41:07.000 To their will to lobby for more immigration because if they spend this much money to elect a certain politician, politician turns around an amnesty, turns around an immigration bill like in 1990 or 1965 or the amnesty under George W. Bush or under Reagan or so on, and their bottom line increases by this much.

01:41:27.000 It's pretty obvious.

01:41:28.000 And that's been the equation with immigration for the past 60 years.

01:41:31.000 If you look at the economic benefits of immigration, immigration since 1965 has brought in the short-run surplus economically from immigration is $2.1 trillion.

01:41:43.000 Almost all the wealth, almost all of it,

01:41:49.000 That immigrants have brought by growing the economy has accrued to the people that own firms.

01:41:55.000 A lot of people talk about the economic benefit of immigration.

01:41:59.000 And they'll say, well look at all this money that came from immigration.

01:42:02.000 Look at how much the GDP grew.

01:42:04.000 But they don't talk about where the money went.

01:42:07.000 Of course, we live in a country.

01:42:09.000 The money just doesn't go into the country's bank account.

01:42:12.000 It goes to people in the country.

01:42:14.000 Who did it go to?

01:42:15.000 Well, if you break down the numbers, almost all the economic surplus derived from immigration went to the firm owners, went to the millionaires and billionaires.

01:42:25.000 And who did the costs from immigration, who paid for those?

01:42:30.000 You know, you have surplus and you have cost for immigration.

01:42:33.000 We're good to go! 0.78

01:42:48.000 That's the story of immigration. 0.84

01:42:50.000 On net, you had a little bit more benefit than you had cost.

01:42:54.000 On net, there was this $2 trillion surplus.

01:42:57.000 Almost all the benefits went to one group of people, the people that employ the immigrants, and all the costs that are still paid might be outnumbered, might be outweighed by all the benefit, but the cost is paid by people different than the benefit. 0.70

01:43:08.000 The cost was to the working people, middle and working class people competing with the immigrants. 0.77

01:43:13.000 And so here's something very obvious. 0.85

01:43:15.000 We're the vast majority of the country is competing with immigrants and only very small percentage of people are the ones employing them. 0.99

01:43:22.000 Very small percentage of people that are owning the firms. 0.96

01:43:25.000 And so how does it make sense that the very small number of people owning the firms get to dictate a policy

01:43:32.000 We're good to go.

01:43:54.000 Who has paid the price?

01:43:56.000 Who has paid the cost for free trade?

01:43:58.000 All this creative destruction.

01:44:00.000 Who's been destroyed in the creative destruction process?

01:44:04.000 The workers.

01:44:05.000 Who always wins in the creative destruction process when you're talking about free trade?

01:44:11.000 You know, they say that, well, a factory may close here in the United States, but it's making the economy more efficient.

01:44:17.000 Well, some jobs are eliminated, but it opens up more jobs.

01:44:21.000 That's what they say about something like free trade.

01:44:24.000 Well, the people that are unemployed, that are destroyed in this creative destruction process, the people whose jobs go away, they don't get the new jobs, right?

01:44:34.000 Do you follow that?

01:44:35.000 The argument is, well, maybe a factory closed down in Springfield, but the money saved allows us to invest in some kind of high-tech information center in Chicago.

01:44:45.000 If you're looking at Illinois as an example.

01:44:47.000 Well, the people unemployed in the factory don't then migrate and learn all the skills and get the new jobs.

01:44:53.000 They're just stuck in their town.

01:44:55.000 They're just stuck where they are.

01:44:57.000 With no luck.

01:44:58.000 You're out of luck.

01:44:59.000 No job, no income, no nothing.

01:45:02.000 And you're just left to fend for yourself.

01:45:04.000 Well, I mean, they just got destroyed.

01:45:06.000 And maybe some people get lucky somewhere else.

01:45:08.000 Maybe they don't.

01:45:09.000 But who always benefits?

01:45:11.000 It's the people that own the company.

01:45:13.000 Maybe the company will shut down a factory here and the workers that work there are out of luck, but the company will open up something somewhere else.

01:45:19.000 Maybe in China.

01:45:20.000 Maybe Mexico.

01:45:21.000 Maybe somewhere else in the country.

01:45:22.000 Maybe they do a different service.

01:45:24.000 Maybe it's an investor.

01:45:25.000 Maybe they sell the company and buy something else.

01:45:27.000 The person that's doing the buying and selling at the top always wins. 1.00

01:45:31.000 It's immigration.

01:45:33.000 It's trade.

01:45:34.000 It's every sector of these political issues where harm is being done to most of the people because it's the tiny amount of people that are making the decisions that benefit them.

01:45:47.000 It's like a parasitic relationship where value, money, everything is extracted from the most and it's given to the people that are at the top.

01:45:58.000 And the people at the top are the ones calling the shots.

01:46:00.000 That's why it is.

01:46:01.000 And it's a self-perpetuating system.

01:46:03.000 They have the resources.

01:46:05.000 They're the ones doing the political spending. 0.63

01:46:07.000 You know, I might do political spending.

01:46:08.000 Maybe I donate, what was the maximum contribution?

01:46:11.000 $2,000?

01:46:12.000 Somewhere in that ballpark.

01:46:14.000 Maybe I donate $2,000 to the Trump campaign, okay?

01:46:18.000 Michael Bloomberg spends $1 billion for his campaign.

01:46:23.000 All the money raised in these small dollar contributions for all the candidates put together does not match a fraction of the money that Michael Bloomberg alone will spend on his campaign.

01:46:36.000 That's the system we've created.

01:46:38.000 And so we're not talking about an aristocracy.

01:46:42.000 We're not talking about a plutocracy, an oligarch, anything like that.

01:46:46.000 We're talking about, like, this many people making all the important decisions for everybody else.

01:46:53.000 And, by the way, maybe that wouldn't be a problem, but they're making the wrong decisions.

01:46:59.000 And that's when it becomes our problem as conservatives.

01:47:02.000 Conservatives enable these people through the free market.

01:47:05.000 They enable Bloomberg, Soros, Adelson.

01:47:08.000 You'll hear these conservatives, and they'll say, you know, well I don't agree with Bloomberg, I don't agree with Soros, but God bless them.

01:47:17.000 That's what America's all about.

01:47:19.000 You come here, and no matter where you start off, you can make it to the top.

01:47:23.000 I don't like these capitalists, but I love capitalism.

01:47:28.000 Well, that doesn't make any sense.

01:47:30.000 I'm sorry.

01:47:32.000 On some level, they delude themselves into thinking that these two things are consistent, that these two things can go together, because they believe that you can divorce the people from the system, that the free market is fundamentally a good system.

01:47:45.000 It's only because of the abuses.

01:47:48.000 It's only because of the abuses of people which cannot be controlled that is the problem.

01:47:52.000 And anyway, that's the price of freedom.

01:47:55.000 Well, I don't really want to pay the price of freedom anymore.

01:47:59.000 I'm actually tired of the abuses of the people that are enabled by the system.

01:48:04.000 If the system, by its nature, enables abuse, maybe it's a bad system.

01:48:10.000 They act like it's a coincidence.

01:48:12.000 They act like, oh, it's an accident.

01:48:14.000 We just got unlucky this time. 1.00

01:48:15.000 Aw, dammit! 0.99

01:48:16.000 This free market system, which by the way has all the incentives for this stuff as I just explained, ah dammit, this free market system once again created a plutocratic class of billionaires that are looting and pillaging the country through free trade and mass migration. 0.99

01:48:34.000 Ah, we just got a really bad, bad luck of the draw this time.

01:48:37.000 Well, maybe we could get other billionaires that are gonna be more charitable.

01:48:43.000 Now, maybe that argument makes sense until you think about the fact that it's built into the system.

01:48:47.000 As I just said, the incentives are such that you get to this point of wealth and there's a financial incentive for you to make the immigration system the way it is.

01:48:56.000 There's a financial incentive for you to make the trade regime the way it is.

01:48:59.000 It is built into the system.

01:49:01.000 These are not accidental abuses that can be combated with.

01:49:05.000 Other accidents, you know, in other words, other instantiations of success stories of rich people that are going to go the other way.

01:49:13.000 Why do you think it is that George Soros and the Koch brothers are advocating for open borders?

01:49:19.000 They're supposedly right and left.

01:49:21.000 Well, they're both advocating for open borders because they both benefit from open borders as firm owners, as owners, as investors, venture capitals, whatever you want to say, financial people, that group at the top, the rich.

01:49:33.000 That is their interest.

01:49:34.000 It is built into the cake that that is their financial incentive.

01:49:38.000 Baked into the cake, rather.

01:49:39.000 And that's why, allegedly, on these distinct and separate sides, they're pushing for the same thing.

01:49:45.000 Because it's not an accident.

01:49:46.000 It is systemic.

01:49:49.000 And conservatives have been enabling this now for like 40 years.

01:49:52.000 Perpetuating the system, perpetuating a system that enables their political enemies to get into these high positions of power and then loot and pillage and do all these anti-conservative things.

01:50:02.000 Why would we enable that?

01:50:03.000 Why would we allow that?

01:50:04.000 How does that make any sense?

01:50:06.000 We enable the free market system as conservatives who believe in the family, who believe in Christianity, who believe in American culture and all the people to get rich off the system fight against every one of those things every step of the way.

01:50:18.000 Fight against America first, fight against God, fight against the cultural

01:50:24.000 Cohesion of the nation, the social fabric.

01:50:27.000 That is why we as conservatives just simply have to stop.

01:50:30.000 Just simply stop.

01:50:31.000 People say, well, what's the solution then?

01:50:33.000 Are we supposed to eat the rich?

01:50:35.000 Are we supposed to... I'm not advocating for anything radical.

01:50:38.000 Like I said, I'm not a socialist.

01:50:39.000 I'm not in favor of wealth redistribution or something like that.

01:50:42.000 But we must simply stop with the free market propaganda.

01:50:47.000 Simply stop with this stuff about earning your wealth and these billionaires and so on.

01:50:52.000 These people are harming our country and they've been enabled by a very bad system.

01:50:57.000 We have to stop supporting it.

01:50:58.000 So that's, that's my pitch.

01:51:00.000 As somebody looking at all these different things, all these different, I call them vignettes, all these different episodes that I've seen in the last year from Bezos to Adelson to the Koch brothers to Bloomberg, all across the board, and it's the same problem.

01:51:15.000 It's the elites, but more particularly the ultra-wealthy that just have the power and the incentive to abuse our country.

01:51:22.000 And that has to be put to a stop and dispensed with all the ideological stuff, all this free market dogma that's doing nothing but hurting us and our agenda and what we want for our country.

01:51:33.000 So that is me in favor of a third position.

01:51:36.000 By third position I don't mean fascism.

01:51:41.000 I'm a third positionist, a fascist.

01:51:44.000 I simply mean we have to move beyond capitalism and socialism.

01:51:48.000 We have to think about something else that is outside of this dichotomy.

01:51:52.000 Because that's the way it is now.

01:51:54.000 Either you're a capitalist and you're down with this, or you're not okay with that and you're a socialist.

01:51:59.000 We have to think beyond that dichotomy.

01:52:02.000 But that's the billionaires.

01:52:03.000 We're going to move on to our Super Chats.

01:52:05.000 We'll see what you guys are saying about all of this.

01:52:09.000 My apologies.

01:52:10.000 My nose is itching.

01:52:11.000 My allergies seem to be acting up.

01:52:13.000 I know that might be... Whenever I watch my show and I'm itching my nose, it's very irritable for me.

01:52:20.000 It's irritable for me to watch myself do that.

01:52:23.000 It's irritable when I have to itch, but then when I'm watching it, I'm like, why does he keep... I watch my show and I'm like, hey, stop doing that!

01:52:31.000 But I apologize.

01:52:32.000 We're going to move on and look at our Super Chats.

01:52:54.000 Glad to hear it.

01:52:56.000 Giant says, what is your ideal economic system?

01:52:59.000 I don't like to think in this way.

01:53:01.000 You know, people ask me this question.

01:53:02.000 What is your ideal system?

01:53:04.000 I don't like to think... I don't like to think in these terms.

01:53:07.000 That is set against everything that I believe in.

01:53:09.000 The idea of the ideal system.

01:53:12.000 I am very much against the very nature, the very idea of ideals.

01:53:18.000 I believe in virtues.

01:53:19.000 I believe in, you know, practical things, practical improvements.

01:53:28.000 Well, if we just had it like this, then we wouldn't have to worry.

01:53:32.000 If we just had this economic system, if we just had this governmental system, then we'd be okay.

01:53:38.000 I stand opposed to that completely.

01:53:41.000 No.

01:53:41.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:58:45.000 Clockworks says, first time super chatting, have to support the king.

01:58:48.000 Also, do you like Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy?

01:58:51.000 Not really.

01:58:51.000 I liked, um, Spider-Man 3, but, um,

01:58:57.000 You know, I hate comic book nerds that are like, dude, I like the Reimi trilogy.

01:59:02.000 People that talk like that.

01:59:03.000 Do you know what I mean?

01:59:04.000 I don't know if that's specific enough.

01:59:08.000 But I see that all the time always surrounding the Marvel superhero talk are these people that are like, yeah, Rami Yeah, Rami's trilogy. 0.96

01:59:17.000 Oh, well, you just shut the fuck up about spider-man movies spider, you know superhero movies are childish and juvenile and like just silly and so 0.99

01:59:30.000 And I don't know, maybe I might sound hypocritical because I get so jazzed up about the prequels for Star Wars, but superhero movies to me are like particularly stupid. 1.00

01:59:41.000 And it's like I do watch them, I do watch the superhero movies, but I recognize them for what they are, which is stupid and their fandoms are dumb and all that. 0.95

01:59:49.000 It's when people say, no, the Raimi trilogy. 0.99

01:59:51.000 It's like, will you stop?

01:59:54.000 So, I don't know.

01:59:56.000 I mean, I don't remember seeing Spider-Man 1 or Spider-Man 2, actually, that Sam Raimi made.

02:00:04.000 Is that his name?

02:00:06.000 Sam, yeah.

02:00:06.000 I don't remember seeing 1 or 2.

02:00:08.000 I saw number 3 in theaters and I thought it was okay, but I'm not like one of them.

02:00:12.000 Yeah, but that Spider-Man trilogy was Keno.

02:00:15.000 I was never a superhero guy, so.

02:00:18.000 I just whenever I hear that it just triggers me.

02:00:20.000 I think about all these YouTube like like Marvel youtubers No, but Rami Rami's was great this show, you know, they're talking about all the different spider-man's like I don't know Why don't you why don't you get a job?

02:00:33.000 Matt Ryan says Venus Surgeon says Bic Fuentes.

02:00:38.000 Okay Peach Kranz has made big bust made big buck bucks 1.00

02:00:47.000 Thanks.

02:00:49.000 I don't know if you could tell or not, but at some point in the last 30 minutes, a tremendous, like, I don't know what you would call it, vertigo episode has set in, and it just feels like the room is spinning very quickly around me.

02:01:04.000 So forgive me if my reading comprehension is not great, if I'm a little bit, uh,

02:01:08.000 I don't know if you can tell or not.

02:01:11.000 Maybe I'm just so good at keeping it together.

02:03:21.000 Yeah, I mean he's not based, like he's not gonna govern in a based way, but I mean like everybody was based 20 years ago, for the most part. 1.00

02:04:57.000 Chad of Chads says, would vote Bloomberg if he was no net immigration?

02:05:02.000 Maybe.

02:05:03.000 Just no immigration. 0.59

02:05:04.000 Just no immigration altogether. 0.96

02:05:06.000 I think we should be consistent. 0.95

02:05:19.000 But if we do open it back up, it should be open to EU first, because we want an immigration system that's going to facilitate people that are going to do well in our country, and that means they're going to assimilate, and I continue to believe that the only people that can meaningfully assimilate on a large scale are Europeans. 1.00

02:05:36.000 So maybe at some point, but for now, I would just say we've just got too many people all together. 0.96

02:05:41.000 That dude Turtles has shut down immigration until we stabilize, yeah. 0.97

02:06:17.000 300 Spartans says, going Nazbo mode. 1.00

02:06:19.000 Love to see it. 1.00

02:06:20.000 Great show tonight.

02:06:20.000 Thanks.

02:06:22.000 Yeastwoods says, let's put every billionaire with a chicken on a raft. 0.82

02:06:27.000 That's great.

02:06:29.000 Molly McGuire says, the new grab bag is voting for Bloomberg, or the new bag grab is voting for Bloomberg.

02:06:36.000 Shaking my head.

02:07:47.000 Yeah, well a whole $10 is worth getting banned from YouTube.

02:07:50.000 I think that makes a lot of sense.

02:07:52.000 Lord Maryland says, on the bloomer train now.

02:07:55.000 Bye Nick.

02:07:55.000 Hello iPhone 11.

02:08:01.000 It wasn't a real free market though!

02:08:02.000 I was waiting for that.

02:08:03.000 That's what the communists do, isn't it?

02:08:20.000 When you say, oh, communism, that's a great idea, like the Soviet Union, what do they always say?

02:08:25.000 Well, but it wasn't real communism!

02:08:28.000 Venezuela, Cuba, Soviet Union, North Korea, it wasn't real communism!

02:08:32.000 And it's the same with the free market people.

02:08:34.000 Oh, the free market is a disaster in America, Western Europe, the United Kingdom... But it wasn't a real free market!

02:08:41.000 That wasn't real capitalism!

02:08:42.000 Oh, okay.

02:08:44.000 Real capitalism is when everything works!

02:08:47.000 Oh, okay.

02:08:48.000 They just should have worked instead.

02:08:50.000 Florida Mance's economy should serve society and family, not the reverse. 0.89

02:08:54.000 Very true. 0.86

02:08:55.000 Polish American says it's immoral to have billionaires in a society.

02:08:58.000 Yeah, I think so, but we just gotta limit their influence. 0.98

02:09:41.000 Hey, don't, don't say that.

02:09:42.000 Do you mean college or high school?

02:09:44.000 If it was college, I'd say you're right, but high school should hang on.

02:09:49.000 Tampa Bay says, thoughts on YouTuber Jreg based cringe.

02:09:53.000 I think I know you're talking about some of his stuff is kind of funny, but he's like Centrist, you know, he's one of these like reddit type people So, I mean some of his stuff is funny, but at the end of the day, he's not our guy Boomer uncles is only a virtuous people can be free thoughts.

02:10:10.000 I agree Little toads is what do you think?

02:10:13.000 Who do you think will win the based tournament?

02:10:15.000 Mmm, Jesse Lee Peterson probably

02:10:18.000 I think it does.

02:10:19.000 It was pretty cool.

02:10:20.000 Yeah, I went to Sunday service in Chicago yesterday and, you know, it was awesome to see Kanye live.

02:10:24.000 It was like, I was totally nerding out and

02:10:47.000 But I'll just say it wasn't like a concert.

02:10:50.000 I want to see Kanye and I want to see him like in concert.

02:10:53.000 I want to see him perform the hits. 0.95

02:10:56.000 And as much as I'm happy that he's a Christian, now he's on this new thing where he's like, oh, I'm not a performer.

02:11:02.000 I'm, you know, spreading the word and I'm only going to perform songs with no swears.

02:11:07.000 So the Sunday Service Choir played most of it, and he did like five songs.

02:11:13.000 He did Father Stretch My Hands, which happens to be one of my favorites.

02:11:17.000 He did Can't Tell Me Nothing, Jesus Walks, Say La, Close Down Sunday, and Follow God.

02:11:24.000 So he did what?

02:11:25.000 He did six songs.

02:11:27.000 It was an hour and a half.

02:11:28.000 He did six songs, and the rest was the choir.

02:11:30.000 I mean, it was cool, and it was exciting to see him, and I got great seats, but

02:11:36.000 I was like, I want to hear, but I want to hear stronger.

02:11:39.000 I want to hear Jesus.

02:11:41.000 I want to hear beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy.

02:11:43.000 You know, I want to hear graduation.

02:11:45.000 I want to hear the good stuff.

02:11:48.000 I want to see Kanye.

02:11:49.000 So, so it was good, but I was just like, well, you know, it is what it is.

02:11:56.000 Uh, Croc is just trying to figure out how the CIA controls the government.

02:12:00.000 Can't really figure it out.

02:12:01.000 Can you help me?

02:12:02.000 I don't know what that's supposed to mean.

02:12:25.000 The Deep State.

02:12:26.000 The Deep State is not just the CIA.

02:12:28.000 I wouldn't be the one to say the CIA controls the government, but the Deep State, which is the intel agencies, the military industrial complex, and the regulatory body, they control the government.

02:12:39.000 And they control the government because they're the ones that are doing the enforcing of all the provisions.

02:12:43.000 They're the ones that have to carry out all the dictates.

02:12:46.000 And a really good friend of mine opened my eyes to this stuff.

02:12:49.000 Actually,

02:12:51.000 Bureaucrats make all the decisions in government about everything. 0.90

02:12:55.000 The only time that a high-up official makes a decision is if there's disagreement.

02:13:00.000 If there's disagreement about enforcement or application or regulation at a low level in the executive branch between two people, it'll have to keep rising up.

02:13:10.000 That disagreement will have to be unsettled all the way up to the food chain to cabinet people and then up to the president before a president makes a decision.

02:13:18.000 Otherwise, if there's, you know,

02:13:22.000 They're carrying out the policy.

02:13:23.000 If a disagreement arises, if they settle it at the low level of enforcement, then it's just settled and bureaucrats make the decision.

02:13:31.000 That's only when there's disagreement about changes or enforcement or whatever, and only when that disagreement goes all the way up through the different supervisors and next-ups and higher-ups, all the way through to the cabinet, do you get the president making a decision.

02:13:46.000 So it's really not so much simply the CIA, but it's the intel agencies and it's the bureaucrats, and they are just the ones that are executing the day-to-day tasks of government.

02:13:58.000 And they dictate how it's enforced.

02:14:03.000 Most of the time they do write the law, but even if they're not writing the law or voting on the law, by enforcing it, in applying it they're deciding what the law is. 0.96

02:14:13.000 Big gay says I just read that one Damn Dawes says did you know Jake Elliot in school Eagles kicker? 0.85

02:14:42.000 Got some great content.

02:14:44.000 Oh, well, it leaves open the possibility that we could pass good legislation, but I mean...

02:15:03.000 We had the House before and that didn't happen, so I'm not holding my breath waiting for them to pass good policy, but at least it would be possible.

02:15:10.000 And also then the Democrats couldn't do these investigations, which would be a plus.

02:15:16.000 Sounds good.

02:15:16.000 Favorite author?

02:15:17.000 Probably...

02:15:32.000 I don't know.

02:15:33.000 That's a tough one.

02:15:34.000 I don't really love reading, actually.

02:15:37.000 I do it because I have to, but I don't find it... I don't read books and I'm like, oh, this is delightful!

02:15:50.000 I'm not an academic. 0.95

02:15:52.000 I'm not an intellectual.

02:15:54.000 I don't read these things, and I'm like, magnificent prose!

02:15:57.000 So artful!

02:15:58.000 I don't read like that.

02:15:59.000 I read, I get the gist, I get the facts, I get the ideas.

02:16:02.000 I extract them.

02:16:03.000 Some books are easier to read than others, or easier to understand, or better articulated, but I mostly read non-fiction, and, you know, I'm not like, oh my!

02:16:12.000 That was delightful!

02:16:13.000 Some people are like that.

02:16:14.000 I've never been that guy.

02:16:17.000 I know a lot of people that are like that, and it's never been me.

02:16:20.000 Look at this, it's marvelous!

02:16:21.000 I read out of necessity, because that is how you get information, but I'm not like, oh, splendid!

02:16:28.000 He is a joy to read!

02:16:30.000 A joy to read!

02:16:31.000 I curl up beside the fire, and I read, you know, this author.

02:16:36.000 Nobody better! 0.53

02:16:37.000 Simply delight!

02:16:39.000 I've never done that before.

02:17:13.000 Yeah, that's the problem.

02:17:16.000 The problem's not the market.

02:17:18.000 It's always something else.

02:17:20.000 Isn't that always the case?

02:17:21.000 It's always just, if we could just get this thing right, but that wasn't a real free market.

02:17:27.000 That's what Mises argued 100 years ago.

02:17:30.000 Money is its own class of capital.

02:17:32.000 It's the most important class of capital, and the government controls it, so it's not a real free... Okay, yeah, we get it.

02:17:38.000 We live in the world.

02:17:39.000 We live in the real world.

02:17:40.000 We have fiat money.

02:17:41.000 That's the world.

02:17:43.000 And it's a money system.

02:17:45.000 I don't think the monetary system... I mean, don't get me wrong, the monetary system's part of it, but, you know...

02:17:52.000 We're talking about the whole financial market, international finance system from top to bottom.
