00:34:06.000Very 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.
00:34:19.000So it's truly the beginning of a new era here on Monday.
00:35:24.000Because 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.
00:35:37.000And that's a phrase which I really like.
00:35:44.000And so we're gonna expand on that a little bit more tonight.
00:35:46.000Like I said, we touched on it on Friday.
00:35:49.000And why things are the way they are in the American right.
00:35:52.000But tonight I want to talk about why things are in America, across the whole country, because of this class of ultra-wealthy billionaires.
00:36:01.000And what got me thinking about this was because of the news today, the announcement that Jeff Bezos is going to spend $10 billion
00:36:11.000On 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.
00:36:40.000We'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?
00:37:19.000More 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.
00:37:29.000So I see Jeff Bezos, I see Michael Bloomberg.
00:37:33.000Very recently at the World Economic Forum George Soros said he was creating his Open Society Institute
00:37:41.000Where 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.
00:37:52.000What 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
00:38:34.000Hundreds 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.
00:38:44.000The list just goes on and on so we're going to talk about that.
00:38:48.000That'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.
00:38:57.000It's not even really so much blind spot, it's turning a blind eye deliberately because of where their money comes from.
00:39:04.000This is the biggest area the conservatives are maybe
00:39:08.000Ignorant, 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,
00:40:03.000It's the White House's proposal for comprehensive immigration reform.
00:40:08.000And 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
00:40:34.000You 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.
00:41:07.000Nothing's been happening for like, weeks.
00:41:09.000And 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.
00:41:19.000You 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.
00:41:27.000And 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.
00:41:37.000And 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.
00:41:50.000It'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!
00:42:31.000I said on Friday that we would have the alternative platform for the show tonight.
00:42:37.000It's gonna come this week, but it won't be tonight.
00:42:41.000I've been working on it with my web developer all weekend.
00:42:44.000You 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.
00:43:14.000We ran into some like just very rudimentary simple technical issues.
00:43:18.000We were trying to reach support because we're trying to set up all these different plugins and extensions and services.
00:43:24.000I'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.
00:43:35.000And 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.
00:43:43.000I'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.
00:43:50.000So we just have to iron out just some very, it's not complicated, just some simple problems, you know, launching this very complicated project.
00:43:59.000It's not easy to put everything that we're putting together
00:44:05.000Like, I don't have, obviously, some of these billionaires funding me, or huge teams, or anything like that.
00:44:10.000So, it's sort of a demanding project that we've undertaken here, but it will be unveiled this week, I promise.
00:44:18.000We just gotta put some finishing touches, polishing,
00:44:21.000And 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.
00:44:37.000You can't ban me from my own site and it took a long time to figure everything out and
00:44:42.000Find 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.
00:45:04.000I think I said on Friday they would be ready by Monday
00:45:08.000It'll probably be ready in the next few days, so just be on the lookout for that.
00:45:12.000Just make sure you're tuning in to Twitter, Telegram, the show on DLive, whatever it is, just to see any updates about that.
00:45:19.000My apologies, we couldn't deliver right out of the gate, but it's this technical stuff.
00:45:23.000It'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.
00:45:31.000Let's launch it when it's totally complete.
00:45:34.000And that way, everybody will be blown away.
00:45:36.000People will say, wow, this Nick, he really pulled something off.
00:45:48.000The 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,
00:45:56.000For the past three days, yes, I have been banned on YouTube.
00:46:01.000You know, that happened on Friday, so it's still very recent.
00:46:04.000It 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.
00:46:12.000But, yes, if you didn't catch the show on Friday, my channel was terminated permanently, completely forever, three strikes.
00:46:22.000So, 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.
00:46:45.000And some people are saying that was, like, groveling.
00:46:48.000It's not groveling, it's just worth a shot.
00:46:51.000If I could get my YouTube channel back, it would be nice.
00:46:55.000It'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.
00:47:06.000I'll be fine on DLive, I'm building a solution that should be, like, permanent to do the show.
00:47:11.000But 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...
00:48:35.000So, that's just about the YouTube thing.
00:48:39.000That's it, I think, of the way of housekeeping things.
00:48:42.000There 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.
00:48:50.000Just want to say, hey, happy President's Day for all the wagees out there.
00:48:54.000I don't know, do wagees get today off?
00:48:58.000I was talking to some of my friends and some people have school off today and some people do not have school off today.
00:49:05.000Some of my friends in college don't have school off.
00:49:08.000My friends in high school do have school off.
00:49:10.000And I don't know, do private sector people have the day off or is that just government workers?
00:50:00.000Happy 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.
00:50:08.000What do you want me to say about this?
00:50:09.000So, some people are saying, well, these are my favorite presidents, and these are my least favorite.
00:50:13.000I think that kind of stuff is just boring.
00:50:16.000So, Happy Presidents Day, and then one more thing.
00:50:20.000Which is a little bit more substantial before we dive into the show.
00:50:25.000We talked about this last week as well.
00:50:27.000It's this genre now of Bloomberg said something racist ten years ago.
00:50:45.000There 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.
00:50:57.000And he said it's a black or Hispanic male between the ages of 16 and 25.
00:51:03.000And oh, he got hounded from the right.
00:51:21.000There was an unearthed audio, secret audio from I don't even know when, but he made some comments.
00:51:26.000It 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.
00:51:47.000And 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.
00:52:03.000And I'm here reminding you once again that as much as I want to hate Michael Bloomberg, and I do,
00:52:08.000You know, look at everything about Michael Bloomberg.
00:52:13.000So, 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.
00:52:21.000I don't support Michael Bloomberg for president.
00:52:24.000I didn't get paid, and I'm not asking, he's paying like $150 for influencers like, I'm sorry, that's not enough.
00:52:31.000But you know, I'm not supporting Michael Bloomberg.
00:52:34.000I would never support Michael Bloomberg.
00:52:36.000But you make it hard when, how are you trying to convince me not to like him?
00:52:41.000It's because, what, he's speaking frankly about black and Hispanic young men?
00:52:46.000Sorry, but that only makes me like him more.
00:52:49.000When he says things like that, it's true!
00:52:55.000That is more consistent with my ideology than literally anybody else running for president, including Donald Trump.
00:53:03.000And Donald Trump has said things like this in the past.
00:53:06.000If 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.
00:53:21.000He 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.
00:53:32.000All 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!
00:54:39.000Anti-racism is a radical, revolutionary, progressive, left-wing, anti-white, egalitarian idea.
00:54:48.000And this is what has consumed the American right in recent years.
00:54:52.000It'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.
00:55:17.000They've embraced this idea and pushed this idea on conservatives across the country that we're actually the people that are not bigoted.
00:55:25.000We're actually the people that are against racism.
00:55:28.000We're actually the people that don't care what skin color you have or where you come from.
00:55:32.000We're the ones that are open immigrants.
00:55:35.000We're the ones that bleed red, white, and blue.
00:55:37.000It's the left with their identity politics that are the real bigots.
00:55:42.000It's the left that descends from the KKK Democrats and the slave-holding Democrats.
00:55:51.000And 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.
00:56:05.000And 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.
00:56:13.000And I can't tell you what a terrible thing that is for conservatism that we've decided to embrace that.
00:56:19.000That now, and understand, is different from saying that Michael Bloomberg is a hypocrite.
00:56:25.000Because you could say, and I've heard this said before, people say, well Nick, you don't get it.
00:56:30.000We don't really believe any of this stuff.
00:56:32.000That's what they say, as if that's supposed to make me feel better.
00:56:46.000Saying 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.
00:56:55.000But 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.
00:57:08.000I'm not going to talk about black and Hispanic
00:57:35.000Anti-racism is not our value, it is not our priority, that is not our moral framework.
00:57:41.000Anybody that is perpetuating this anti-racism crusade, just take a look at who's doing it.
00:57:47.000It's always socialists, communists, it's another group of people, it's liberals, leftists.
00:57:55.000Radicals, revolutionaries, you know all this anti-racism stuff was born in the 60s and 70s and who do you think it was?
00:58:02.000It 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
00:58:13.000Political actors in American history are the ones that pushed it.
00:58:17.000And 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.
00:58:25.000Built on top of a moral crusade that came out of the most, like, degenerate politically time in American history.
00:58:32.000And from the worst political groups in the country pushing the worst ideas.
00:58:37.000Just so happens that Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela,
00:58:41.000Barack Obama, all these characters, Louis Farrakhan, just so happens that that was their crusade.
00:58:47.000But I'm sure that that has nothing to do with it, right?
00:58:50.000I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it's all commies promoting that.
00:58:53.000It's all people that want to destroy America, that hate America, hate Christianity, hate the family, that are pushing anti-racism.
00:59:00.000I'm sure that's an innocuous idea that, you know, we could just incorporate into our thing.
00:59:22.000Anybody that's fighting against those things is undermining all the traditional social institutions that make America great.
00:59:30.000You 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.
00:59:49.000But all those words, all those crusades are meant to undermine those traditional social institutions and the social fabric.
00:59:56.000So if you stand with that, you're undermining the social fabric.
00:59:59.000If 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.
01:00:08.000So, anyway, that, that's, it's another, it's another day, it's another Bloomberg comment.
01:00:13.000As 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.
01:00:20.000But, 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,
01:00:26.000We're going to move on and talk about this immigration proposal.
01:00:59.000That'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.
01:01:11.000But the other part of the immigration picture obviously is the legal immigration, which is what is our immigration system?
01:01:19.000How many people are we permitting to let in legally?
01:01:22.000Who are we permitting to come into the country legally?
01:01:24.000And so that has to be changed through legislation.
01:01:28.000And 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.
01:01:36.000Really that's more illegal immigration is the purview of the executive.
01:01:40.000Because the president is the chief law enforcement officer and illegal immigration is fundamentally enforcing the law before anything else.
01:01:48.000Illegal immigration is more about legislation.
01:01:50.000So the Trump administration has kind of put this on a back burner.
01:02:15.000And I'll read you some excerpts from this report.
01:02:18.000And 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.
01:02:47.000It 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.
01:02:59.000It's gone nowhere, and few believe it ever will go anywhere, I think is what they mean.
01:03:06.000The 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.
01:03:16.000Some 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.
01:03:28.000Within the administration, a divide remains over the offering.
01:03:31.000One Homeland Security official mocked it as a silly bill.
01:03:35.000Outside 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.
01:03:45.000Even business groups that broadly support the thrust of the bill prefer more narrow legislation that has a better chance of passing.
01:03:53.000According 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.
01:04:05.000The strategy is flawed because they are trying to do too many things.
01:04:09.000The proposal would admit more high-skilled, well-educated immigrants while reducing the number of people who enter the U.S.
01:04:16.000based on family ties or whether their native country has a low rate of immigration.
01:04:20.000So that is, by the way, chain migration and the diversity visa lottery is what they're talking about.
01:04:49.000The 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,
01:05:06.000If 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.
01:05:21.000So 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.
01:05:32.000That's the broad strokes of the reform.
01:05:36.000It 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.
01:05:52.000It would also restructure the Department of Homeland Security and create an immigration czar.
01:05:57.000The 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.
01:06:10.000So Numbers USA is a great organization.
01:06:14.000They're one of the best immigration restriction groups that is in politics today.
01:06:19.000And 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.
01:06:32.000It keeps the same and actually in some cases increases the amount of immigrants, but it's just different kinds of immigrants.
01:06:39.000Well, that's really not an improvement.
01:06:41.000And more than that, no mandatory e-verify, which is like a huge concession.
01:06:48.000It 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.
01:06:58.000The rest are relatives, refugees, or individuals from countries with low rates of immigration.
01:07:04.000Business 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.
01:07:14.000The latest plan does that, and according to the White House official, raises wages.
01:07:19.000But business groups remain skeptical such a massive proposal can get through a divided Congress in an election year.
01:07:25.000And so this is maybe the most ridiculous part about the whole bill, about the whole pitch altogether.
01:07:33.000That the business leaders are happy with some parts of the bill because it's filling jobs that they need.
01:07:40.000Because unemployment is so low, what does that mean?
01:07:43.000When unemployment is low, there's not a lot of workers available.
01:07:47.000There's not a huge labor pool for major firms to pull from.
01:07:51.000If 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,
01:08:07.000And so when the unemployment gets low, there's less employees.
01:08:11.000When there's less employees, what do you have to do?
01:08:15.000Raising wages means you're competing with other firms for a limited pool of labor, or if you raise wages, people will join the workforce.
01:08:25.000You know, there's the unemployment rate and then there's also the labor participation rate.
01:08:29.000So the unemployment rate is only the percentage of people that are participating in the labor force that are unemployed.
01:08:36.000But 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.
01:08:57.000But 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?
01:09:08.000Obviously, if you're bringing more workers, it's what it says, the firms want more permanent slots for workers,
01:09:17.000It creates more permanent slots, more permanent people coming over here on employment visas.
01:09:23.000That 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.
01:09:48.000That 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.
01:09:57.000What do you think has fueled the enrichment of firms and millionaires and billionaires?
01:10:02.000And Wall Street and all the major cities at the expense of the middle and the working class.
01:10:07.000It is the constant and ever-increasing supply of cheap labor.
01:10:11.000That is a story of our economy since 1965.
01:10:15.000And 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.
01:10:43.000Instead 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.
01:10:51.000You know, so I just don't understand how you have these two things at the same time.
01:10:55.000How, on the one hand, it's more immigration flooding in and necessarily lower wages.
01:11:00.000You know, if there's more of something, it's worth less.
01:11:04.000If there's more of something, the price goes down.
01:11:25.000He is the Executive Director of Center for Immigration Studies.
01:11:29.000CIS is a great organization, but Mark Krikorian is a dumb asshole.
01:11:34.000He says that Kushner also called him looking for support for the bill.
01:11:39.000Brett 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.
01:11:47.000He said, quote, there is zero chance this proposal could become law in an election year with a divided Congress.
01:11:54.000And 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.
01:12:04.000He 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.
01:12:16.000So the main idea here in this article is number one about the proposal itself and then to me about where immigration restrictionists are.
01:12:29.000That's probably my most strongly held belief, my biggest priority.
01:12:33.000As 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.
01:12:42.000I'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,
01:12:56.000And 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.
01:13:05.000So for example, if like 300,000 people leave the United States in a year, you could bring in 300,000.
01:13:11.000I think even that might be a little excessive.
01:13:13.000I'm not a policy wonk but we basically just got to shut it down.
01:13:17.000We've got more than a million people coming in legally every year.
01:13:20.000Millions coming in illegally every year.
01:13:22.000We've got to shut all of it down indefinitely.
01:14:21.000And I think the best organizations in the country
01:14:24.000When it comes to immigration restriction are the Center for Immigration Studies, the CIS, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which is FAIR, and NumbersUSA.
01:14:35.000All three of those organizations constitute like the strongest, the most vocal, the most consistent immigration restrictionist voices on the American right.
01:15:11.000It changes the structure of who's coming into the country, but it doesn't change the overall numbers.
01:15:16.000Or, better yet, it doesn't reduce the overall numbers.
01:15:20.000That's the first thing that's wrong with it.
01:15:22.000It 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.
01:15:34.000We 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.
01:15:45.000We 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.
01:15:55.000In some ways, it actually does more damage, because the people that are coming in for the family-based migration
01:16:20.000When 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?
01:16:31.000They're displacing all the college kids, all the advanced degree holders in our country that come from our universities.
01:16:40.000It's hard to argue that that's actually better.
01:16:42.000Some 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.
01:17:02.000I would rather have an immigrant underclass than an immigrant overclass, wouldn't you?
01:17:07.000If we're going to totally transform the demographics of the country, in my opinion.
01:17:14.000I would rather be safe and secure as a middle or upper middle class or even a working class person, right?
01:17:20.000And 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.
01:17:30.000As 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?
01:17:51.000We just have to have less immigration.
01:17:54.000I don't care who comes in, as long as we get less of them.
01:17:57.000We 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.
01:18:05.000I 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.
01:18:22.000We just have to reduce all the numbers.
01:18:24.000That's the first thing that's wrong with the bill.
01:18:26.000The second thing that's wrong with the bill is no E-Verify.
01:18:29.000E-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.
01:18:46.000That means that their visa hasn't expired.
01:18:48.000That means that they're not an illegal immigrant.
01:18:51.000Mandatory E-Verify means that you must verify for any firm that the person here is supposed to be where they are.
01:18:59.000And 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.
01:19:38.000If immigrants know that they can't get a job here, they'll leave.
01:19:42.000And 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.
01:19:50.000And so these are like the two biggest things that are necessary in an immigration proposal.
01:19:58.000Reducing the amount of immigrants altogether and mandatory e-verify.
01:20:02.000These are essential as far as meaningful immigration restrictionist immigration reform goes.
01:20:08.000You have to have them, otherwise you might as well not bother.
01:20:12.000Neither of these things are in the bill.
01:22:23.000I'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.
01:22:39.000Democrats are proposing it's not illegal to come to the country undocumented, right?
01:22:46.000Democrats 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.
01:22:59.000Well, what does that say about the alternative then, you know?
01:23:01.000But I will just say it's a big disappointment.
01:23:03.000Hopefully, if he wins the White House, he'll win the House of Representatives.
01:23:08.000And if he wins the House of Representatives and the Senate, then we could get a good immigration bill.
01:23:34.000I don't do these complex analytics for my audience and who watches this show.
01:23:39.000I don't know how many people watch this show are libertarians or, you know, very mainstream conservatives, free market people, anything like that.
01:24:39.000And 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.
01:24:46.000You know, for example, I believe in private property.
01:24:59.000Lower taxes and having a competitive economy, I think, is a good thing.
01:25:04.000But 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.
01:25:13.000And I'm willing to say that the government should intervene when money, when markets, produce bad effects, bad externalities.
01:25:22.000That is how I think about the economy.
01:25:23.000So I'm going to preface what I'm about to say by saying that.
01:25:28.000You 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.
01:25:34.000And, you know, conversely, a lot of left-leaning people will say that I'm the same free market guy as Ben Shapiro.
01:25:51.000Conservatives don't like to talk about it because they think that if you're talking about millionaires and billionaires, you sound like Bernie Sanders.
01:25:58.000And if you're talking about billionaires, then what you're talking about is equality of outcome, right?
01:26:04.000You're talking about inequality, and when you're talking about inequality, that means wealth redistribution, and wealth redistribution is bad.
01:26:15.000But 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.
01:26:27.000Why are we talking about this tonight?
01:26:29.000Well, 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,
01:26:38.000is creating a $10 billion fund to stop climate change.
01:26:42.000And I'll read you just a couple of brief reports about these different people and their activities.
01:26:49.000It 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.
01:26:59.000Bezos says the funds will go toward the creation of the Bezos Earth Fund.
01:27:07.000This 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.
01:27:19.000He 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.
01:27:30.000And so you can be assured that in some capacity, this is like a political slush fund.
01:27:35.000If he says it's going towards activism and NGOs, that is political activity, right?
01:27:43.000I 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?
01:27:51.000It's a lot of political lobbying, a lot of political activity, protests, that kind of thing.
01:28:24.000That is pocket change for somebody like Jeff Bezos.
01:28:28.000He 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.
01:28:37.000Just throwing it out there for a political slush fund.
01:30:06.000So 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.
01:30:19.000There'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.
01:30:31.000Bloomberg, 64, 61, somewhere around there, billion dollar fortune,
01:30:35.000Could spend up to and more than 1 billion dollars on this campaign alone.
01:30:40.000Recently, then, there's the case of George Soros.
01:30:43.000This was at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
01:30:47.000He 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.
01:30:58.000Speaking 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.
01:31:08.000He 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.
01:31:21.000He said quote to demonstrate our commitment to this organization we are contributing 1 billion dollars to it.
01:31:28.000And that's on top of billions of dollars that he's already pledged to other slush funds.
01:32:04.000I couldn't even find reliable information on them, actually.
01:32:07.000I 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.
01:32:17.000And so all of this is to say, this is wrong.
01:32:23.000It's not wrong that people can have a fortune.
01:32:26.000It's not wrong that people can become rich in our country.
01:32:30.000I don't think there's anything wrong with that, of course.
01:32:33.000But there is something wrong that our country is basically just up for sale.
01:32:37.000That 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.
01:32:50.000You know, somebody like George Soros, Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Bezos, Sheldon Adelson, and the Koch brothers.
01:32:56.000You 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.
01:33:05.000I don't know if that's safe to say, but something like that.
01:33:12.000That distribution of power is not sustainable or tenable.
01:33:15.000I don't know how you could see or think that we're living in a free society
01:33:21.000We're living in any kind of a republic or the society that the founding fathers intended to have.
01:33:27.000If 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.
01:33:36.000Because, and this is what I hear all the time from libertarians is, well, there's no alternative to this.
01:33:44.000People 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.
01:33:51.000You know, they could basically just exert more influence than just about everybody else combined.
01:33:59.000And more than that, this is what the Founding Fathers intended.
01:34:02.000You 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.
01:34:23.000And the same is true with Michael Bloomberg.
01:34:25.000You know, this is the Founding Fathers' dream.
01:34:27.000That 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.
01:34:55.000Obviously, this is not what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
01:34:59.000And I'm not even defending everything that the Founding Fathers set out for our country, but I'll tell you, it wasn't that.
01:35:25.000The Founding Fathers did not create a democracy to have the free society ever.
01:35:29.000They didn't set up even a totally free market.
01:35:31.000What 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.
01:35:41.000Three branches in the federal government.
01:35:43.000You've got judicial, legislative, executive, so one side doesn't battle the other.
01:35:48.000You've got a chamber in the House for the people, a chamber in the Senate for the states.
01:35:53.000You've got some elements of the country that are elected by popular vote, some elements where the aristocracy exercises restraint.
01:36:01.000And I'm not defending the founding father system is perfect.
01:36:04.000I'm not one of these ride-or-die constitutionalists or anything like that.
01:36:09.000I'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.
01:36:18.000Conservatism is conserving the Founding Fathers, and the Founding Fathers meant that this is what it's supposed to be.
01:36:25.000And 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.
01:36:35.000Once we've dispensed with the idea that this is what they would have wanted, this is constitutional.
01:36:41.000Let'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.
01:36:50.000Free market people really do believe that what is critical to having a moral society
01:36:56.000Is that the government doesn't interfere in the economy.
01:36:59.000That's what I meant earlier when I said I don't have any ideological convictions about the economy.
01:37:03.000The economy has become ideological for conservatives.
01:37:07.000It's actually even become more than that.
01:37:30.000That's their conviction, that a free market is a moral imperative.
01:37:34.000They 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.
01:37:43.000And 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.
01:37:51.000This is why you get a lot of like free market libertarian people that are just boneheads.
01:37:57.000They might even concede that the free market and that the current paradigm, the current system of rich people dominating the political conversation
01:38:06.000They 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.
01:38:16.000Even if it's bad, that's the only moral way to conduct our society.
01:38:21.000We have to dispense with that logic as well.
01:38:23.000We 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.
01:38:37.000That is fundamentally an immoral or amoral way of thinking.
01:38:40.000We have to think what is best for all the people in the society.
01:38:45.000What is best for the working class, middle class, the upper class?
01:38:48.000What is best for the society as a whole organism, as an ecosystem, as people relate to one another, the stability of the country?
01:38:56.000All these things must be taken into consideration.
01:38:59.000And as conservatives, we have to look at things not just like the economy, but the entire picture of the country.
01:39:05.000And we could look at things like immigration, for example.
01:39:07.000It's actually perfect that we talked about immigration and now this.
01:39:41.000Even 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.
01:40:25.000Well, 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.
01:40:40.000There is a natural financial incentive in a free country, in a free market, for the ultra-wealthy to lobby for more immigration.
01:40:49.000It is clear as day, inarguable, that that economic incentive exists.
01:40:55.000That 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
01:41:07.000To 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.
01:41:28.000And that's been the equation with immigration for the past 60 years.
01:41:31.000If 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.
01:41:43.000Almost all the wealth, almost all of it,
01:41:49.000That immigrants have brought by growing the economy has accrued to the people that own firms.
01:41:55.000A lot of people talk about the economic benefit of immigration.
01:41:59.000And they'll say, well look at all this money that came from immigration.
01:42:15.000Well, 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.
01:42:25.000And who did the costs from immigration, who paid for those?
01:42:30.000You know, you have surplus and you have cost for immigration.
01:42:50.000On net, you had a little bit more benefit than you had cost.
01:42:54.000On net, there was this $2 trillion surplus.
01:42:57.000Almost 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.
01:43:08.000The cost was to the working people, middle and working class people competing with the immigrants.
01:44:05.000Who always wins in the creative destruction process when you're talking about free trade?
01:44:11.000You know, they say that, well, a factory may close here in the United States, but it's making the economy more efficient.
01:44:17.000Well, some jobs are eliminated, but it opens up more jobs.
01:44:21.000That's what they say about something like free trade.
01:44:24.000Well, 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?
01:44:35.000The 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.
01:44:45.000If you're looking at Illinois as an example.
01:44:47.000Well, the people unemployed in the factory don't then migrate and learn all the skills and get the new jobs.
01:45:13.000Maybe 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.
01:45:34.000It'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.
01:45:47.000It'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.
01:45:58.000And the people at the top are the ones calling the shots.
01:46:14.000Maybe I donate $2,000 to the Trump campaign, okay?
01:46:18.000Michael Bloomberg spends $1 billion for his campaign.
01:46:23.000All 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.
01:47:08.000You'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.
01:47:32.000On 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.
01:48:16.000This 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.
01:48:34.000Ah, we just got a really bad, bad luck of the draw this time.
01:48:37.000Well, maybe we could get other billionaires that are gonna be more charitable.
01:48:43.000Now, maybe that argument makes sense until you think about the fact that it's built into the system.
01:48:47.000As 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.
01:48:56.000There's a financial incentive for you to make the trade regime the way it is.
01:49:21.000Well, 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.
01:49:49.000And conservatives have been enabling this now for like 40 years.
01:49:52.000Perpetuating 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.
01:50:06.000We 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.
01:50:18.000Fight against America first, fight against God, fight against the cultural
01:50:24.000Cohesion of the nation, the social fabric.
01:50:27.000That is why we as conservatives just simply have to stop.
01:51:00.000As 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.
01:51:15.000It's the elites, but more particularly the ultra-wealthy that just have the power and the incentive to abuse our country.
01:51:22.000And 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.
01:51:33.000So that is me in favor of a third position.
01:51:36.000By third position I don't mean fascism.
01:52:13.000I know that might be... Whenever I watch my show and I'm itching my nose, it's very irritable for me.
01:52:20.000It's irritable for me to watch myself do that.
01:52:23.000It'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!
01:57:25.000In reading through that cringe comment section, that the worst part about that would be somebody would make a cringe super chat based on that joke two days later.
01:57:34.000So, so thank you for the self-fulfilling prophecy there.
01:57:37.000Armenian Groyper says, do you think Joker killed Zazie Beetz at the end?
01:57:43.000I don't know if that was her name, but no, I don't think, I don't think he killed her.
01:59:04.000I don't know if that's specific enough.
01:59:08.000But I see that all the time always surrounding the Marvel superhero talk are these people that are like, yeah, Rami Yeah, Rami's trilogy.
01:59:17.000Oh, 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
01:59:30.000And 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.
01:59:41.000And 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.
01:59:49.000It's when people say, no, the Raimi trilogy.
02:00:18.000I just whenever I hear that it just triggers me.
02:00:20.000I 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?
02:00:33.000Matt Ryan says Venus Surgeon says Bic Fuentes.
02:00:38.000Okay Peach Kranz has made big bust made big buck bucks
02:00:49.000I 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.
02:01:04.000So forgive me if my reading comprehension is not great, if I'm a little bit, uh,
02:03:17.000Royal Goyce says Bloomberg low-key based, Maga Tards lose their shit.
02:03:21.000Yeah, 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.
02:03:31.000Newcombe says President's Day should be Andrew Jackson's birthday.
02:05:19.000But 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.
02:05:36.000So maybe at some point, but for now, I would just say we've just got too many people all together.
02:05:41.000That dude Turtles has shut down immigration until we stabilize, yeah.
02:07:24.000I buy the whole building Purple says reparations for taking my foreskin when yeah, okay Saxon says the chadges you rocks their description versus the virgin below black unemployment.
02:09:44.000If it was college, I'd say you're right, but high school should hang on.
02:09:49.000Tampa Bay says, thoughts on YouTuber Jreg based cringe.
02:09:53.000I 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.
02:10:10.000I agree Little toads is what do you think?
02:10:13.000Who do you think will win the based tournament?
02:12:28.000I 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.
02:12:39.000And they control the government because they're the ones that are doing the enforcing of all the provisions.
02:12:43.000They're the ones that have to carry out all the dictates.
02:12:46.000And a really good friend of mine opened my eyes to this stuff.
02:12:51.000Bureaucrats make all the decisions in government about everything.
02:12:55.000The only time that a high-up official makes a decision is if there's disagreement.
02:13:00.000If 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.
02:13:10.000That 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.
02:13:23.000If a disagreement arises, if they settle it at the low level of enforcement, then it's just settled and bureaucrats make the decision.
02:13:31.000That'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.
02:13:46.000So 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.
02:14:03.000Most 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.
02:14:13.000Big gay says I just read that one Damn Dawes says did you know Jake Elliot in school Eagles kicker?
02:14:20.000No, he was before my time Apple, honey says is what you talked about today.
02:14:44.000Oh, well, it leaves open the possibility that we could pass good legislation, but I mean...
02:15:03.000We 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.
02:15:10.000And also then the Democrats couldn't do these investigations, which would be a plus.
02:16:03.000Some 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!
02:16:43.000It's not really a question that registers Bad faith poster says you see Bernie get attacked by Mike Stealing milkers.
02:16:51.000Yeah, I did see that pretty funny Purple says did you get to see based black man Kanye?
