America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - ANTI VAX REVOLT - NYC Union Workers RISE UP Against Mandate | America First Ep. 905

00:00:05.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:06.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:08.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

00:00:10.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

00:00:11.000 Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Thursday.

00:00:16.000 We have a lot to talk about, lots to get into tonight.

00:00:19.000 Our featured stories about the New York City vaccine mandate, and in particular, very, very interesting news.

00:00:28.000 I don't know if I want to say exciting quite yet, but there's been a huge uproar among public sector union workers.

00:00:37.000 About one of the strictest vax mandates in the country, which is being enforced in New York City.

00:00:42.000 And there was a massive protest today outside the mayor, Bill de Blasio's mansion, by firefighters, police officers, and other city workers.

00:00:54.000 This comes as the New York City vaccine mandate deadline approaches next week.

00:01:01.000 And once that deadline hits, lots of city workers, thousands of them who do not get vaccinated, May be terminated or placed on unpaid leave if they don't comply within the next few days.

00:01:16.000 So, we'll talk about the situation there.

00:01:18.000 It looks honestly somewhat similar to what happened in Chicago and elsewhere in America.

00:01:24.000 We've seen similar protests like this, specifically from union workers in the major cities, in the cities where these vax mandates are being enforced. 0.86

00:01:35.000 But it's, you know, it's, I don't know if I want to say I'm optimistic, but obviously, this is a positive development.

00:01:43.000 Unfortunately, this vaccine mandate has come down for some public sector workers sooner than others.

00:01:52.000 And what they say is that when the other deadlines went into effect, basically people just got the vaccine at the last minute.

00:02:01.000 When they were really faced with the decision about whether or not they wanted to be fired from their job over it, they just wound up getting the vaccine.

00:02:10.000 And so some types of jobs that required the vaccine mandate or that were required to be vaccinated earlier.

00:02:18.000 There was some hesitancy.

00:02:19.000 There were holdouts.

00:02:20.000 There were people reluctant to get vaccinated.

00:02:23.000 But by the time the vaccine deadline went into effect, they had like 95% vaccination.

00:02:30.000 So hopefully something similar doesn't happen there.

00:02:33.000 I fear it will, but we'll talk about that.

00:02:35.000 That'll be our main story.

00:02:37.000 We'll also be talking tonight about Meta, which is a new name for Facebook.

00:02:44.000 And in case people don't know, this is something that was actually teased last week.

00:02:48.000 Or might have been even the beginning of this week.

00:02:50.000 I don't remember exactly when they first started talking about this, but it was either last week or earlier this week.

00:02:56.000 There were these leaked memos reporting that Facebook would undergo a major rebrand and name change as soon as this week.

00:03:06.000 It was announced today, and the new name for the Facebook company, not the app, not the Facebook platform, but for the company which owns many social media platforms, the new name is Meta.

00:03:21.000 And if you don't know, Meta is supposed to be a reference to the Metaverse, which we'll explain on the show tonight.

00:03:29.000 It's kind of a new, interesting concept.

00:03:32.000 But this is very similar to Google.

00:03:34.000 If you don't know, Google renamed their company Alphabet, I think it was six years ago.

00:03:40.000 So if you go on the New York Stock Exchange as an example, you won't see Google, but you will see Alphabet.

00:03:46.000 And Alphabet, there are two Alphabet companies.

00:03:49.000 They're the parent company of Google and all the other companies.

00:03:53.000 Google products, family of Google owned companies, apps, projects, things like that.

00:03:59.000 And so, Facebook has done something similar in order to rebrand away from their strictly social media platform called Facebook.

00:04:07.000 They changed the name to Meta, and that's supposed to be broader to encapsulate all their products as well as some new things that they're doing with the metaverse.

00:04:17.000 So, we'll talk about that too.

00:04:19.000 Very interesting.

00:04:20.000 Very interesting what that bodes for the future.

00:04:22.000 Some people are not, I maybe don't even understand the importance of this, they don't understand the significance of this.

00:04:29.000 We'll get into it.

00:04:30.000 I don't want to rush into it right away.

00:04:33.000 But a lot of people look at this name change and they hear about this metaverse.

00:04:37.000 And I see a lot of people are rolling their eyes and saying, Yeah, okay, metaverse, which if you don't know is sort of like a form of augmented reality, it's sort of like trying to fuse the digital world with the real world.

00:04:50.000 And that'll largely be achieved not just through smartphones, but also through potentially augmented or virtual reality glasses and other devices, smart devices in your home, vehicle, work, etc.

00:05:06.000 A lot of people look at this and they say, oh, that's a flash in the pan.

00:05:11.000 But, you know, if Mark Zuckerberg thinks this is the future, he's one of the richest men in the world.

00:05:17.000 And if you don't know this, he owns four out of five of the biggest social media platforms in the world by their user base.

00:05:25.000 Four out of five of the biggest social media platforms by user base in the world, he owns all of them.

00:05:32.000 Facebook owns all of them.

00:05:35.000 So if he says that's the future, I'm inclined to believe he knows what he's talking about.

00:05:41.000 We'll get into that.

00:05:42.000 It should be a pretty good show.

00:05:44.000 It's kind of interesting, kind of interesting stuff.

00:05:46.000 The meta thing's a nice change of pace.

00:05:49.000 Vaccine mandate's kind of more of the same.

00:05:51.000 But before we get into that, I just want to remind you to follow me on this channel if you haven't already cozy.tv slash Nick.

00:05:59.000 Click the follow button right here, right here.

00:06:12.000 That's what that does.

00:06:13.000 And stay tuned.

00:06:14.000 Tomorrow, we'll be announcing three brand new streamers on Cozy.TV.

00:06:19.000 Very excited about that.

00:06:22.000 We actually only have two.

00:06:25.000 I messed up the schedule and I thought one was coming on this weekend.

00:06:30.000 Actually, they're coming on next weekend.

00:06:33.000 So now I've got to find a third person.

00:06:35.000 But anyway, so I'll have to figure that out.

00:06:37.000 But we have some new streamers coming this weekend.

00:06:40.000 We'll be announcing those tomorrow.

00:06:42.000 Their channels will go live this weekend.

00:06:45.000 Some familiar faces.

00:06:48.000 And remember to follow all our other existing streamers.

00:06:51.000 We got three new streamers this week, which includes Steve Franson, Jimbo Zoomer, and Joe the Boomer.

00:06:57.000 Steve Franson's show returns again on Saturday, in case you missed it last week.

00:07:02.000 It's called Ho Down.

00:07:03.000 He does it every Saturday.

00:07:05.000 Jimbo and Joe the Boomer stream almost daily, but make sure you're following them too.

00:07:09.000 A lot of good content, as well as everybody else.

00:07:13.000 Let me think, what else do we have?

00:07:15.000 Did I say Gab and Telegram?

00:07:17.000 Yeah, follow me on Gab, follow me on Telegram, in case you haven't already.

00:07:21.000 Lots of good stuff.

00:07:22.000 Coming your way on there.

00:07:23.000 Go to our merch store, lastchance, merch.nicholasjfuentes.com.

00:07:27.000 We have our Halloween merch, which is going to be taken off the site at the end of this month, which is Monday.

00:07:35.000 So it's the last chance this weekend to get the Halloween merch.

00:07:38.000 I told you I'll be sporting one of the new hoodies tomorrow.

00:07:43.000 I'm not telling you to wait, but if you're indecisive, if you haven't decided if you want to buy the merch yet, maybe you wait and see.

00:07:51.000 You know, maybe you wait and see the show tomorrow.

00:07:54.000 And you watch the show, and I'm wearing the new shirt.

00:07:57.000 And depending on how I look in it, maybe you make a decision whether or not to buy it.

00:08:03.000 You know, you can see me wearing it, and then you can picture yourself wearing it, and you say, you know, can I picture myself wearing that?

00:08:12.000 Well, I look good in that.

00:08:14.000 And then you call it.

00:08:16.000 You know, then you got to make a call.

00:08:17.000 But this is the last call for the Halloween merch, and then it's gone.

00:08:20.000 I've been telling you, we're not bringing it back.

00:08:24.000 It's dead.

00:08:25.000 It's over.

00:08:25.000 You're never going to be able to buy this stuff ever again.

00:08:28.000 So keep that in mind.

00:08:30.000 I don't want you to have any FOMO and buy it.

00:08:33.000 Now, that's the last thing I would want is to create this FOMO like sensation where you're afraid of missing out on merch that's never going to come back.

00:08:42.000 So you buy it.

00:08:43.000 But if there's even a 1% chance that you want it, just consider you'll never have the opportunity to buy it again.

00:08:52.000 So even if you have the slightest inkling of, you know, I like that shirt, I like that design.

00:08:59.000 All I'm saying is consider you'll never be able to get it again after Monday.

00:09:04.000 So, again, I don't want anybody to FOMO buy the merch, but if there's even a 1% inclination that you want to buy it, just consider this is your only opportunity.

00:09:17.000 And then the moment has passed, it's over.

00:09:21.000 You can never go back.

00:09:22.000 You've made your decision, now you have to live with it.

00:09:25.000 And you'll see your friends with the new merch.

00:09:28.000 You'll see.

00:09:29.000 Your Groyper friends, you'll see your Twitter friends, they'll be wearing the new Halloween stuff.

00:09:34.000 And maybe you'll think, oh, I wish I bought that. 0.96

00:09:36.000 Well, yeah, unfortunately, you can't go back in time.

00:09:40.000 That's the thing about time, it goes forward, not backward.

00:09:43.000 So, anyway, merch.nicholasjfuentes.com, last call.

00:09:47.000 We also have the hat restocked.

00:09:49.000 We have our I will not comply anti vax t shirt, which is kind of becoming a symbol of a generation.

00:09:56.000 People wear this and they're defiantly standing up to the vaccine mandate.

00:10:01.000 So, check that out.

00:10:03.000 I think that's all of our announcements.

00:10:05.000 So we'll just dive right into the show, I guess, because there's a lot to talk about.

00:10:09.000 I'm actually kind of eager to talk about Metaverse because I got a lot to say about it.

00:10:13.000 And we actually haven't talked, I don't think we've done a technology story on the show in a long time.

00:10:21.000 You know, mostly over the past year, we've covered 1.6 and the COVID vax mandate, obviously, and the ongoing pandemic and government response.

00:10:31.000 We haven't really talked about much else.

00:10:34.000 And when we do, it's a rarity.

00:10:36.000 We talk a little bit about crime or these illegal immigration caravans and some other things, but I'm excited to talk about this Facebook thing because this is a real game changer.

00:10:49.000 And in case you missed it today, there was chatter about this, I think earlier this week or last week.

00:10:55.000 There were reports that Facebook, which you know is the platform, the app, but it's actually a very large company, one of the biggest companies in the world, run by Mark Zuckerberg, there was chatter that they were going to change their name.

00:11:09.000 And they were going to rebrand the whole company.

00:11:11.000 And the reason they were going to do that is because Facebook, the company, is now much larger than Facebook, the app, Facebook, the platform.

00:11:19.000 In case you don't know, Facebook, formerly known as the company, they own not just Facebook, the social media platform, but they also own Instagram, they own WhatsApp, and they have Facebook Messenger, which is now just called Messenger.

00:11:36.000 And these four apps are four of the biggest social media companies in the world.

00:11:41.000 They're all in the top five.

00:11:42.000 By user base, Facebook has 2.8 billion users.

00:11:48.000 WhatsApp has 2 billion, Messenger 1.3, Instagram 1.3 billion.

00:11:53.000 So they have a whole family of platforms and apps, and of course they own other things too.

00:11:59.000 And now they want to get into something called the metaverse.

00:12:02.000 They say they're now actually dividing the company really into almost two parts.

00:12:06.000 They've got all the things that Facebook is known for now, which I just listed.

00:12:12.000 They say that's their family of products, their family of social media apps, and that's just supposed to be one half or one part of the company.

00:12:22.000 And part of the rebrand is to change the company, obviously, to not just represent one of those products, but all of them.

00:12:30.000 And also changing it to reflect this whole new part of their business, this new venture, which they anticipate apparently will be equally sized or maybe even bigger than everything we know about Facebook now.

00:12:42.000 And that's called the Metaverse, which we'll explain.

00:12:45.000 And so they changed the name to Meta.

00:12:48.000 And that was announced today.

00:12:50.000 The stock name is going to change, the company name has changed.

00:12:54.000 If you go on Wikipedia, it's already changed.

00:12:56.000 It's now called Meta.

00:12:58.000 So, Meta is the parent company which now owns Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and apparently now is going to own all these other new products which are going to be metaverse related.

00:13:11.000 And, like I said at the top of the show, this is very similar to what Google did.

00:13:15.000 Six years ago, they changed their name to Alphabet, and it hasn't really caught on.

00:13:19.000 I don't know anybody that calls it Alphabet.

00:13:21.000 Everybody still calls it Google.

00:13:23.000 And that's probably because, like Facebook, Google has become ubiquitous.

00:13:28.000 And even the name Google, which is a trademark, has become synonymous with search engine.

00:13:34.000 You know, when you say you want to search something on a web browser, you say, oh, well, Google that.

00:13:40.000 You know, why don't you Google it, right?

00:13:43.000 And as the biggest search engine, and maybe search engine and browser being one of the biggest components of the internet, they can't really get away from it.

00:13:50.000 But technically, if you go on the stock exchange, you've got Alphabet One and Alphabet Two, or what is it?

00:13:56.000 Alphabet A and Alphabet B.

00:13:58.000 But there's technically two companies, they're both called Alphabet, and it's apparent.

00:14:02.000 Conglomerate for many different projects and companies.

00:14:06.000 And so Facebook is following suit.

00:14:09.000 And really, that's how we have to think about these companies.

00:14:11.000 You know, I've said this for a long time.

00:14:13.000 I don't know if a lot of people even realize this because we talk about Silicon Valley, we talk about big tech.

00:14:20.000 And I think some people may have a consciousness of this.

00:14:25.000 I think some people are cognizant of this fact, but maybe a lot of people don't even think this way.

00:14:30.000 And, you know, forgive me if you've heard this before.

00:14:32.000 I think I said this last week.

00:14:34.000 But bear in mind, the social media companies are not just some of the most influential companies because of the nature of what they do.

00:14:43.000 And we're talking specifically about Apple, Alphabet, Facebook, Amazon.

00:14:50.000 What are the other big ones?

00:14:52.000 Twitter.

00:14:54.000 I'm trying to think.

00:14:55.000 There's an acronym for all of them.

00:14:57.000 But in short, when we talk about those companies, you know the ones I'm talking about Microsoft.

00:15:02.000 When we're talking about big tech, I should say not just social media, but big tech.

00:15:06.000 Companies, you know, we throw those terms around loosely and we know that they're powerful again because of the business that they're in, which is to say that they preside over this global network, a global conversation.

00:15:20.000 You know, Facebook is just one product of this new meta company.

00:15:24.000 Facebook is just one company under the formerly Facebook company.

00:15:29.000 And yet, the Facebook app, the Facebook platform, which is one component, the people that are in charge of Facebook are presiding over billions of people and their most intimate information, their geolocation, their microphone, their camera, their pictures, their texts, their posts, where they go, where they eat, what they buy.

00:15:51.000 There's a marketplace.

00:15:52.000 They post videos on there.

00:15:54.000 They have disappearing messages, encrypted messages.

00:15:59.000 It's all kinds of things.

00:16:00.000 It's a very intimate thing.

00:16:01.000 It's a lot different than Home Depot, obviously.

00:16:04.000 Which you go into Home Depot and you buy like light bulbs or wood or something.

00:16:09.000 Facebook is in the business of really selling like your attention, your mind, your information, your whereabouts, very intimate things.

00:16:18.000 But it's not just the nature of the businesses, it's the businesses themselves.

00:16:25.000 They're not just what you think of.

00:16:27.000 When you think of Google, you think of the search engine, but Google's bigger than the search engine.

00:16:31.000 They also own YouTube and they own.

00:16:35.000 All the advertisements.

00:16:36.000 You know, most of the advertisements that you see on the internet are powered by Google.

00:16:41.000 And most websites and digital projects are financed by the advertisements.

00:16:47.000 And when you think about advertisements and what's displayed and what's not displayed, that can actually influence the stock market.

00:16:53.000 That could actually influence the market.

00:16:55.000 And so they're really bigger.

00:16:58.000 When you think about these companies, it's important to consider them not just on the user experience level.

00:17:05.000 Which is to say, you shouldn't think about Google as an example, as the search engine that I use on my phone.

00:17:12.000 You have to think about it as one of the biggest companies in the world by market cap, by revenue.

00:17:19.000 It is run by some of the richest people in the world, the biggest billionaires.

00:17:25.000 And what they do comprises not just the user services that you're using on a day to day basis, but lots of things that you don't even know about, like artificial intelligence, and they're designing algorithms, they contract with the federal government, they're doing Research in quantum computing.

00:17:40.000 I mean, they're doing lots of things that we don't even know about.

00:17:44.000 In some sense, they are more influential, more powerful than the state.

00:17:49.000 And if you look at where they stand on the stock market, they're driving the entire stock market.

00:17:55.000 You know, specifically, if you look at the past year since the coronavirus lockdown began, take a look at the biggest performers in the stock market.

00:18:03.000 What's driving the SP 500?

00:18:06.000 It's the top five companies, which are all these Silicon Valley big tech companies.

00:18:11.000 So when you think about these things, It's important not to sort of pigeonhole your understanding and think about it as, oh, Facebook, that's where I go and I sold my Yu Gi Oh cards.

00:18:21.000 Oh, Google, you know, that's how I search Wikipedia articles or something like that.

00:18:27.000 You know, these are the biggest companies, most powerful, run by the richest, most powerful, influential people in the world.

00:18:35.000 Their activities are vast, wide ranging.

00:18:39.000 You don't even know about all of them.

00:18:41.000 They influence the world in ways that, You probably don't even think about it in ways that some people may not even be able to understand.

00:18:48.000 And, you know, in short, we could go into great detail on that, but it's important to consider it.

00:18:54.000 It's very important to consider it that way when we think about big tech, what they're capable of, and so on.

00:19:00.000 And specifically when we consider this name change here with Facebook.

00:19:04.000 They're rebranding to Meta, right?

00:19:06.000 I mean, that's just to give you an idea of the scale and, you know, kind of the nature of what we're talking about here with Facebook.

00:19:12.000 When they're talking about Meta, In case you don't know, that is a reference to the metaverse, which this is something that hasn't really arrived yet.

00:19:21.000 This is something that has only really been talked about.

00:19:24.000 There's been speculation.

00:19:26.000 There's been research and development.

00:19:27.000 People theorized about it.

00:19:30.000 And I don't even really fully understand it.

00:19:32.000 I'm not even the expert on this.

00:19:34.000 But the best way to explain it, I guess, is sort of like combining the digital world and real life.

00:19:42.000 And that already happens to an extent.

00:19:44.000 We interface with the digital world through smartphones and now through computers, which are everywhere.

00:19:51.000 You know, it used to be the case, of course, that you go onto a desktop.

00:19:55.000 PC to get on the internet, and it was very limited.

00:19:58.000 You know, you had email or forums or certain websites or something, and then you had social media, but then you had the smartphone, and now you've got computers in your car, in your fridge, in your air conditioner, in your printer, and it's everywhere, right?

00:20:14.000 And there's computers at McDonald's, and there's computers at school and at work.

00:20:18.000 And so we interface with the digital world, you know, through mobile phones, PCs, and everything.

00:20:24.000 But the metaverse is really about connecting things a lot further.

00:20:29.000 And they're talking about projects like, for example, AR, which is not like an AR 15, but augmented reality.

00:20:36.000 AR stands for augmented reality glasses, where you put on frames, you put on lenses, and you'll actually be able to see a digital interface in the glasses.

00:20:48.000 And as opposed to virtual reality, where it's blocked off and you see a virtual world, augmented reality, you see the world, but with digital elements, a digital overlay.

00:21:00.000 And so once you're in the world, seeing the world, And the world is interacting as you see it and perceive it with the digital, with some kind of digital visual overlay.

00:21:12.000 And so you'll have digital, not real components that you could see when you're walking around.

00:21:16.000 Maybe you can see somebody differently.

00:21:20.000 You can see people wearing things that are digital, see digital information about people, places, things.

00:21:28.000 And they've tried to roll this out in a limited capacity.

00:21:30.000 It hasn't worked so far with things like Google Glass or Snapchat glasses.

00:21:35.000 And they're still working on that.

00:21:37.000 This is just one example of how the digital world and the real world are going to become closer together and going to be linked together more intimately.

00:21:45.000 And that's just, again, one example of the technology which Facebook is working on and thinks is going to be a part of this landscape.

00:21:52.000 And so the point is to merge basically the real world with these online profiles.

00:21:59.000 And so the sort of Facebook social media experience will now be your waking existence in the real world.

00:22:07.000 You can see people, places, and things.

00:22:11.000 In the same way that you would see them on Facebook interfacing through your phone.

00:22:15.000 But now that sort of imperfect interface has been removed.

00:22:18.000 Instead of having to go on your phone to see that on a screen, now it's in front of your face all the time, and your whole world is filtered through it.

00:22:29.000 And so it's sort of the seamless, that's kind of the critical part here, is a sort of seamless and ubiquitous integration between the real world and the digital.

00:22:38.000 That's when they say metaverse, that's what they're talking about.

00:22:43.000 You know, the Latin prefix meta, meaning over or above, you know, usually meaning things that are sort of greater, all encompassing.

00:22:52.000 Metaverse, meaning combining the real universe and the digital universe.

00:22:57.000 It's sort of a universe that's bigger than, you know, combining both worlds and then bigger than both of them.

00:23:03.000 That's what Facebook is in the business of now.

00:23:05.000 That's what their name change signifies.

00:23:08.000 And they change their logo too.

00:23:09.000 It used to be a blue thumbs up, now it's a blue infinity symbol.

00:23:14.000 This is all very ominous stuff.

00:23:18.000 And I'll go through this article.

00:23:20.000 I'll read this article in the New York Times and then I'll go a little bit further and talk about the significance of this.

00:23:25.000 But I'll just recap and summarize here with this article.

00:23:29.000 It says Facebook has changed its corporate name to Meta as part of a major rebrand.

00:23:34.000 The company said it would better encompass what it does as it broadens its reach beyond social media into areas like virtual reality.

00:23:43.000 The change does not apply to its individual platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, only the parent company that owns them.

00:23:51.000 The move follows a series of negative stories about Facebook based on documents leaked by an ex employee.

00:23:58.000 Francis Hagen has accused the company of putting profits over safety.

00:24:04.000 Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg announced a new name as he unveiled plans to build a metaverse, an online world where people can game, work, communicate in a virtual environment, often using VR headsets.

00:24:17.000 He said the existing brand could not possibly represent everything that we're doing today.

00:24:23.000 Let alone in the future.

00:24:25.000 He said, over time, I hope that we are seen as a metaverse company and I want to anchor our work and our identity on what we are building towards.

00:24:34.000 We're now looking at and reporting on our business as two different segments one for our family of apps and one for our work on future platforms.

00:24:42.000 As part of this, it is time for us to adopt a new company brand to encompass everything we do to reflect who we are and what we hope to build.

00:24:50.000 Mr. Zuckerberg said the new name reflects that over time, users will not need to use Facebook.

00:24:56.000 To use the company's other services.

00:25:00.000 To an outsider, a metaverse may look like a version of VR, but some people believe it could be the future of the internet.

00:25:07.000 Instead of being on a computer, people in a metaverse might use a headset to enter a virtual world connecting all sorts of digital environments.

00:25:15.000 It is hoped that the virtual world could be used for practically anything from work, play, and concerts to socializing with friends and family.

00:25:27.000 So that's the scale and the scope of what we're talking about.

00:25:31.000 And it's very important to consider this.

00:25:34.000 Facebook, as it exists right now, or Meta, is one of the biggest companies in the world.

00:25:39.000 I haven't looked at it lately, but earlier this year, you know, again, so this is very outdated, but I don't know what their market cap looks like these days, but it's in the range of like $500 billion to a trillion.

00:25:52.000 Huge.

00:25:53.000 Top five biggest companies in the world.

00:25:55.000 They've got 3 billion people.

00:25:58.000 Nearly 3 billion people using Facebook alone.

00:26:02.000 And then it combined close to 4 or 5 billion on their other products.

00:26:07.000 Those are all the users on their platform.

00:26:09.000 And think about what they do now.

00:26:11.000 They do encrypted messaging, they do direct messaging, they do Facebook Marketplace, which is commerce, they do videos.

00:26:19.000 Facebook is sort of a video platform now, too.

00:26:22.000 They do groups, they do advertisements, commerce.

00:26:27.000 People can host their businesses on Facebook or Instagram.

00:26:31.000 They do picture sharing.

00:26:32.000 They do text based posts.

00:26:35.000 They do a lot right now.

00:26:37.000 They're also planning on doing a currency called Libra, which is supposed to be a cryptocurrency.

00:26:42.000 And they've got other ambitions.

00:26:45.000 And that's how big they are now.

00:26:47.000 What they're talking about doing in the future is taking that and potentially doing something which is new projects that'll be bigger than all of that as it exists now.

00:26:58.000 So think of it.

00:27:00.000 One of the biggest companies in the world.

00:27:02.000 Run by one of the richest guys in the world.

00:27:04.000 They've got their hands in every industry, every sector of the economy.

00:27:10.000 And now that's just one sector, that's one section of their entire company.

00:27:15.000 There's a whole new section now, like they said, which is going to encompass these future new metaverse projects.

00:27:23.000 In other words, how big can Facebook be when you don't even know you're using a Facebook product when you're using it?

00:27:32.000 It's as big as it is now.

00:27:35.000 And what they're talking about is making it orders of magnitude bigger.

00:27:40.000 It's a trillion dollar company now.

00:27:42.000 And now they're going to make it so that you don't even know when you're using Facebook and it's seamless.

00:27:48.000 You wake up and you're using Facebook.

00:27:50.000 You go to work or school and you're using Facebook.

00:27:53.000 You talk to your friends, play games, socialize, go to a concert unknowingly, inadvertently.

00:28:01.000 You're using Facebook.

00:28:03.000 And then you go to bed and you're using Facebook.

00:28:06.000 And this is something that, like I said, if you thought that your life was intertwined with Facebook and social media before, because you text people on there and you have Facebook downloaded on your phone and you carry your phone everywhere.

00:28:20.000 Your phone's got a microphone and a camera.

00:28:22.000 What happens when you've got Facebook glasses on or a Facebook VR headset?

00:28:27.000 Facebook is inside your car and it's in, it's everywhere.

00:28:33.000 That's what they want to govern, that's what they want to preside over.

00:28:37.000 This is a very scary prospect because likely this is the future of the internet.

00:28:42.000 A lot of people look at projects like this AR, VR, NFTs, even as an example, if you don't know what that is.

00:28:50.000 And a lot of people look at that and they roll their eyes and they say, oh, that's ridiculous.

00:28:54.000 Do people really think that VR conference calls are the future of the internet?

00:28:58.000 Do people really think that what amounts to something like a copyrighted JPEG that people are paying tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for is the future of the internet?

00:29:10.000 The answer is probably.

00:29:12.000 You know, if you consider that Mark Zuckerberg running Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, If he's putting all their chips behind this at Facebook, this is where it's at.

00:29:26.000 This is where the research and development is.

00:29:29.000 They seem to anticipate what we know before we know we want it based on the massive amount of data that they have.

00:29:36.000 And they have the best developers, they've got the best innovators, they pull people out of MIT and Harvard and all the best schools from all over the world.

00:29:45.000 If Mark Zuckerberg says this is the future of social media, it's probably.

00:29:51.000 Worthwhile to listen to.

00:29:53.000 Maybe it's not, you know, I don't know that he's infallible, but I also don't think it should be taken lightly.

00:29:59.000 If he thinks that's a future, if that's where Facebook is redefining their company, they're redirecting the whole course of their organization towards that, it's probably worthwhile to listen to.

00:30:12.000 And we need to think very carefully about where this is going.

00:30:16.000 This is still somewhat in the short term where we're talking about Facebook, Google, these kinds of companies presiding now, not over just the digital world, but your whole world.

00:30:26.000 And where will their jurisdiction start and where will it end?

00:30:30.000 These are so called private companies that will now have virtually the entire world on their platform.

00:30:37.000 They'll have all their messages, all their pictures, all their most intimate moments.

00:30:42.000 They may have cameras on everybody's faces that see what every person in the world sees and hear what every person in the world hears.

00:30:52.000 This is as powerful as anybody or anything or any institution has ever been on earth.

00:30:59.000 With the exception of Jesus.

00:31:01.000 Like, think about that.

00:31:03.000 Does anybody consider this?

00:31:05.000 That when you have three or four or five billion people, which is what we're going to see in the future, seamlessly integrated with Facebook in their lives, with cameras, microphones, geolocation, with satellites,

00:31:21.000 all their messages, potentially their thoughts, emotions, memories, micro expressions, their interactions, their whereabouts, their habits, their likes and dislikes, throughout their whole life, and all that data stored forever.

00:31:37.000 Has anybody stopped and considered that that makes Mark Zuckerberg or Meta or Facebook, whatever the hell this is, that makes this more powerful than anything in the history of the universe, anything in the history of mankind and planet Earth?

00:31:56.000 Caesar was not more powerful than what Facebook is becoming, than what big tech is becoming.

00:32:03.000 And neither was Joseph Stalin, and neither was.

00:32:07.000 Mao Zedong, nor is today somebody like Klaus Schwab or the Rothschilds or whatever. 0.77

00:32:13.000 And I'm sure they have their hand in this, but you understand what I'm saying. 0.65

00:32:18.000 This is more information, this is more power than anybody has ever had, than has ever existed objectively.

00:32:27.000 Not just that has ever been possessed or wielded, but this is more power than has ever existed in the history of human civilization, in the history of humanity.

00:32:39.000 And so, this opens up some very large questions about what is human civilization going to look like once this happens?

00:32:47.000 Is there a check or balance on the power of Facebook?

00:32:50.000 At that point, Facebook becomes more powerful than the government, more powerful than anything that we can comprehend today.

00:32:57.000 This is a total reorganization of society.

00:33:01.000 The modern state is over.

00:33:04.000 It's still, of course, relevant, it's still powerful, it still exists as an entity.

00:33:10.000 But the modern era, the modern nation state, Which emerged around the time of the Treaty of Westphalia four or five hundred years ago until, you know, maybe 10 years ago.

00:33:23.000 It seems like that's over.

00:33:25.000 And now this technological society is finally being actualized with all of its full consequences.

00:33:32.000 You know, I don't think 15 years ago people really knew what they were doing when Facebook came around.

00:33:36.000 At first, you know, how did that come about?

00:33:40.000 Mark Zuckerberg created a dating app on Harvard to like, at Harvard to rate girls or something.

00:33:46.000 And now it's turned into well, what happens if we stored everything digitally on the internet under the control of one company?

00:33:56.000 We're finally seeing what the ramifications of that look like, you know, following that through to its logical conclusions, the kind of incentives that that creates and the possibilities created by that.

00:34:08.000 And it goes even further than that.

00:34:10.000 Their real goal, if you listen to what any of these people talk about, and this is even further out into the future.

00:34:17.000 If you read Klaus Schwab, if you read some of these other billionaires, Club of Rome, that kind of stuff, their ultimate endgame is a full on technological singularity or full on transhumanism, transcending this universe entirely.

00:34:35.000 And it goes from metaverse, and this is in the farther out future.

00:34:40.000 But eventually, the goal is that this is just a stepping stone to get into total transcendence of.

00:34:47.000 Of humanity itself and of the flesh.

00:34:49.000 They want to use this AR, VR, you know, interfacing with the digital world becomes a little bit more intimate.

00:34:55.000 And where they want to go ultimately is put the technology in our brains, put it in our bodies.

00:35:00.000 They want us to become inseparable from the technology.

00:35:04.000 And so all this stuff becomes very important.

00:35:06.000 The internet, AI, robotics.

00:35:10.000 Now all these technologies are bound up in each other, leading towards a total new, completely new world where man and machine are inseparable.

00:35:20.000 And the individual is inseparable from the collective.

00:35:23.000 You know, think about it.

00:35:25.000 A lot of people talk about AI and they talk about robots.

00:35:28.000 And what happens if the robots overthrew us?

00:35:30.000 Or what happens if AI doesn't like us?

00:35:33.000 It's like, well, consider the effect too of the network, of the internet as well.

00:35:37.000 Not only are we going to have probably computers in our brain and computers in our bloodstream, nanobots and things like that, but also they are going to be communicating with each other.

00:35:49.000 The machine elements that are going to be incorporated into our minds and bodies are going to be communicating with each other and with all the other machines in the world.

00:35:59.000 They're putting up 5G towers everywhere.

00:36:01.000 Why is that?

00:36:03.000 5G is about increasing the connectivity.

00:36:06.000 For example, you need 5G in order to have.

00:36:10.000 The economy of things, or what is that called?

00:36:13.000 You need 5G in order to have.

00:36:15.000 I'm thinking of something specific.

00:36:17.000 The phrase of it escapes me right now.

00:36:20.000 But when you have these computers embedded in your clothes and your fridge and your appliances and everything like that, you need 5G to make it all communicate with each other.

00:36:29.000 You need 5G to have self driving cars.

00:36:31.000 You need that level of connectivity.

00:36:35.000 Do people realize that as we transcend, as we go further into this digital world, it's not just about giving over our minds and bodies to the technology?

00:36:45.000 But it's also about giving over our individual selves to this greater network.

00:36:50.000 Because it's not just like you're going to have Neuralink in your brain and nanobots in your blood, and your appliance tells you what's in your fridge, and your car tells you this about your car, and so on.

00:37:01.000 But all the things, all the computers, all the electronic things in your house, in your work, in your neighborhood, they're talking to each other.

00:37:11.000 They're talking to the computers in you.

00:37:15.000 And all the computers around you and all the computers in you are talking to all the computers in everybody else and all the computers in every other place.

00:37:27.000 And that is a very scary prospect.

00:37:30.000 Is human freedom possible in a scenario like that?

00:37:36.000 Can a human being be a free individual with a mind and with a will and all those things with that level of integration?

00:37:47.000 That's really what's disturbing.

00:37:48.000 That's the kind of transcendence that they're really aiming for.

00:37:51.000 That's where this stuff is headed.

00:37:54.000 You know, you thought it was bad that, like, oh, Google can read your emails or something, or the FBI can find your search queries.

00:38:01.000 This is what's coming.

00:38:02.000 The metaverse, when they're talking about putting glasses on you, think about the trajectory of that.

00:38:08.000 It went from your desk to your hand to in front of your eyeballs.

00:38:13.000 Elon Musk is now talking about Neuralink, which is embedded inside of your brain and interfaces directly with your brain.

00:38:21.000 Think about how close it's getting, how intimate and deep it's getting.

00:38:26.000 And it's getting more miniature, it's getting more connected.

00:38:32.000 And as far as these products and services go, they're becoming more ubiquitous in our lives to the point where eventually, and this is where it's headed, they want to become some kind of mutant, some kind of cyborg entity where there's a seamless integration, not between the digital and the real, but between man and machine.

00:38:54.000 All together, and then an integration with each individual man and all of mankind.

00:39:01.000 And it's kind of like digital collective.

00:39:03.000 Everybody's thoughts, everybody's feelings, everybody's sight, their hearing, their memories, all of that, and conversations and things, all of that being read and feeding into some kind of AI hive mind.

00:39:18.000 I mean, it's really, I know a lot of this stuff sounds crazy or something, but it's really not hard to see once you begin to consider the technology that's here, where it was before.

00:39:27.000 Where it is now, what they're going to do in the near future.

00:39:30.000 It's really not hard to see kind of the inevitable consequences of this, where they're trying to take this.

00:39:36.000 That's what they want.

00:39:37.000 They want something like immortality.

00:39:39.000 They want something like transhuman globalism, you know, collective globalism or something like that.

00:39:46.000 It's very disturbing stuff.

00:39:48.000 So I don't even really have a take on that.

00:39:50.000 I don't even think there really is an angle.

00:39:52.000 And here's why that's bad.

00:39:54.000 I think it speaks for itself.

00:39:55.000 But anyway, so Facebook has changed the name of their company.

00:40:00.000 But this is the big picture stuff, folks.

00:40:02.000 Very important to pay attention to this.

00:40:06.000 This is bigger than all the other issues.

00:40:10.000 Technology and our relationship with technology, specifically what the elites are trying to bring about with technological progress, this is the most important thing that's happening in human civilization right now.

00:40:23.000 There's political stuff and there's local stuff and there's ideological fights and so on, but I think in the grand scheme of things, this is sort of the defining.

00:40:36.000 Phenomenon of our time.

00:40:39.000 When people look back in history, they're not going to talk about populism, they're going to talk about industrial technological society.

00:40:46.000 If you compare this time to any other time, they're not going to talk about managers or kings or queens or something like that.

00:40:51.000 If the last century was a nuclear age or something like that, this is going to be the age of the digital transcendence.

00:40:58.000 Trying to achieve that, what that's going to look like.

00:41:01.000 Who knows to what extent it's possible?

00:41:05.000 Some of this stuff may sound like science fiction, and maybe it is.

00:41:08.000 I'm not a scientist, I don't know how far this stuff can go.

00:41:11.000 I'm probably not as optimistic as the tech people.

00:41:15.000 For example, I don't believe they'll ever achieve general artificial intelligence.

00:41:19.000 I don't even think self driving cars are in the near future.

00:41:23.000 And I'm not a specialist, of course.

00:41:25.000 I don't have a technical knowledge.

00:41:27.000 But from a philosophical point of view, I think a lot of that stuff may not even be within our grasp.

00:41:32.000 And certainly it's not within our grasp anytime soon.

00:41:36.000 Nevertheless, that is what they have in mind.

00:41:39.000 And that is what they are thinking about when they draw an infinity symbol.

00:41:42.000 And they say, we're going to control the universe.

00:41:44.000 We're going to control the metaverse.

00:41:46.000 That's what they're talking about.

00:41:48.000 So that's Facebook.

00:41:49.000 That's Meta.

00:41:51.000 Terrifying prospect, very terrifying prospect for humanity.

00:41:56.000 And unfortunately, I don't really know that there's a whole lot that can be done because any kind of organized opposition to this would be thwarted by these institutions themselves.

00:42:09.000 How are you going to organize some kind of Luddite movement or anti tech?

00:42:14.000 Movement or anything like that when we stand opposed to the most powerful institutions in the world.

00:42:24.000 I don't know that there will be any kind of successful, viable, organized resistance.

00:42:29.000 And, you know, maybe it'll come from the state, but then how do you gain control of the state without these services?

00:42:35.000 I don't know.

00:42:37.000 It's a lot of open ended questions, scary stuff.

00:42:40.000 So I don't really have any conclusion here.

00:42:42.000 There's nothing really conclusive to say other than.

00:42:46.000 It's a very terrifying prospect, what's in store.

00:42:48.000 They've got some sick fantasies.

00:42:52.000 And where this is pointed, people should think about and consider the full ramifications.

00:42:57.000 I think a lot of people look at this in the same way people look at the internet 25 years ago.

00:43:03.000 There were a lot of people 25, 30 years ago that looked at the internet and they thought it was a novelty.

00:43:09.000 How could people 35 years ago begin to imagine the ways in which the internet and computers would transform their world?

00:43:19.000 They couldn't think about it.

00:43:21.000 It's like, how could.

00:43:23.000 People 120 or 130 years ago realized how cars and planes and the nuclear bomb would change the world.

00:43:32.000 You know, people just don't have the kind of foresight.

00:43:34.000 People can't consider what they haven't seen, what they have no experience with.

00:43:39.000 And so, you know, in the same way that 30 years ago, people looked at the internet and said, oh, that's a sort of neat little thing, that's a sort of fun novelty.

00:43:49.000 Of course, they couldn't possibly think about YouTube and Facebook and how it impacts elections.

00:43:55.000 It's the future of warfare, information warfare, so on.

00:44:01.000 In the same way, people look at NFTs and they look at the metaverse and they say, oh, that's corny.

00:44:06.000 That'll never catch on.

00:44:08.000 You're going to be in a conference call and your avatar will be Pikachu or something?

00:44:08.000 So what?

00:44:13.000 It's like, no, it's a little bigger than that.

00:44:16.000 And if Mark Zuckerberg is staking Facebook on this, we should probably listen and we should be worried.

00:44:22.000 But that's the metaverse.

00:44:24.000 That's the rebrand.

00:44:25.000 Kind of a nice change it pays to talk about that on the show.

00:44:29.000 I've always found that interesting.

00:44:31.000 And, you know, we'll see how quickly this goes.

00:44:35.000 I'm kind of interested.

00:44:36.000 I'm not going to lie.

00:44:37.000 I'm a little bit curious.

00:44:38.000 It's daunting, but it is interesting because I feel like the technology is basically stagnated.

00:44:45.000 I feel like, you know, there hasn't really been anything that new in the past 15 years.

00:44:52.000 I mean, I was born in 98, and this is supposed to be this era of rapid technological development, maybe the pinnacle.

00:44:59.000 Of technological development, or at least we reached the fastest pace of technological development at that point.

00:45:06.000 But it feels like some new things came out when I was a kid, and then it's basically been the same.

00:45:12.000 You know, iPhone came out in what, like 2010?

00:45:16.000 Facebook came out in around the same time.

00:45:19.000 YouTube came out a little bit before that.

00:45:22.000 How different is it really today than it was back then?

00:45:25.000 Yeah, the iPhone is better, it's faster, it has more cameras.

00:45:31.000 We have Wi Fi and 5G, and, you know, there's more like apps on the iPhone.

00:45:37.000 But is it really a completely different society than it was back then?

00:45:41.000 I mean, in some ways, yeah, like you've got Uber and you've got, you know, stuff like that, which are somewhat different.

00:45:49.000 But is it really as different 10 years ago from now as it was, say, for example, between like, I don't know, 1980 and 1995?

00:46:02.000 You know, or 1970 and 1985?

00:46:05.000 I don't think so.

00:46:07.000 I think that, you know, at least you can't see the changes.

00:46:11.000 I don't know that they're very noticeable.

00:46:14.000 They seem to be incremental, gradual, and they're not of type.

00:46:17.000 You know, it's not like new types of things are coming around and new categories are being invented.

00:46:23.000 It's really more like the same things are just being improved incrementally.

00:46:27.000 Because I haven't really seen anything mind blowing.

00:46:30.000 It's really just kind of the same stuff.

00:46:33.000 You know, there was a time when people were like, whoa, a microwave?

00:46:36.000 You mean we could reheat the food in two minutes?

00:46:39.000 And, you know, life is basically the same as it was in the 60s, but with like computers and phones and stuff.

00:46:45.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:46:46.000 So, I am a little bit interested to see.

00:46:48.000 Can they change the game?

00:46:50.000 It's scary.

00:46:51.000 It's probably going to be worse for us.

00:46:53.000 But I'm a little bit curious.

00:46:56.000 I'm not going to lie.

00:46:57.000 I kind of want to get into the metaverse.

00:46:59.000 I kind of, I love social media.

00:47:02.000 Yeah, I mean, is it, like I said, it's probably bad for us, but it's pretty neat.

00:47:07.000 It's pretty cool.

00:47:10.000 So, I'm kind of curious.

00:47:11.000 I'm a little bit curious.

00:47:12.000 I'm not going to lie.

00:47:13.000 That's probably what's going to destroy humanity, but.

00:47:17.000 I'm a little bit curious what happens when they unroll this.

00:47:20.000 I want to see something new.

00:47:21.000 I want to see a technological wonder.

00:47:25.000 Anyway, so that's meta.

00:47:27.000 But I want to move on because we're running out of time.

00:47:29.000 And I want to talk about the New York City anti vax strike or protest, which happened today.

00:47:35.000 Kind of interesting.

00:47:37.000 Like I said, I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm excited or optimistic about this because.

00:47:47.000 You know, we've seen this before.

00:47:49.000 We saw this in Chicago.

00:47:50.000 We've seen this in other states and some other cities, and even with private companies, and it never really seems to work.

00:47:59.000 So I'm, you know, I'm happy about it, but I would caution against anybody looking at this and saying, oh, and therefore we're good.

00:48:08.000 You know, we're in the clear.

00:48:11.000 Now we're on the right track or something like that, because I don't think that's what this is at all.

00:48:15.000 So I'll read to you.

00:48:17.000 This is from the New York Times.

00:48:19.000 It talks about how in New York City, their vaccine mandate deadline is coming into effect shortly.

00:48:25.000 And there was a major protest outside the mayor's mansion today, organized by the New York Fire Department, as well as I think police attended and some other union workers attended.

00:48:38.000 New York City, like other major cities, they've mandated that all of their city workers get vaccinated.

00:48:45.000 No exemptions, no opt out where you can get a negative daily or.

00:48:53.000 Weekly negative COVID test or something like that.

00:48:57.000 Every city worker has to be vaccinated.

00:49:00.000 That's the policy in New York City.

00:49:02.000 So the deadline's coming up, and thousands of these workers, union workers, are saying they don't want to get vaccinated.

00:49:08.000 And so there's reports that maybe there's going to be shortages of vital staff, first responders, firefighters, police officers, other types of personnel, because people are going to just simply refuse.

00:49:21.000 And it sounds familiar because we heard that about the Chicago police and we heard that.

00:49:26.000 In Washington State, and I think in San Francisco too.

00:49:31.000 So I'll read you this report from the New York Times.

00:49:33.000 It says, City officials are bracing for the possibility that thousands of essential workers, including police officers, firefighters, and sanitation employees, could be placed on unpaid leave starting on Monday when the city's sweeping mandate requiring that almost all municipal workers receive at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine takes effect.

00:49:55.000 With just one third of the workers in the fire and sanitation departments, And one quarter of the police force yet to prove that they had been vaccinated as of Thursday morning.

00:50:06.000 City agencies were putting in place an array of contingency plans, including mandating overtime for vaccinated workers and canceling vacations to fill staffing gaps.

00:50:17.000 So it's one third of fire and sanitation that's unvaccinated and a quarter of the police.

00:50:24.000 Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat in a second term who issued the mandate, predicted on Thursday that many city workers would get a shot at the last minute.

00:50:33.000 Has happened just before similar mandates took effect in recent months for healthcare workers and school employees.

00:50:40.000 But defiance of the mandate is running high among some workers.

00:50:44.000 In a protest outside the mayor's residence on Thursday, many demonstrators wore sweatshirts and shirts bearing fire department engine and ladder company numbers from across the city.

00:50:54.000 Union leaders led chants of hold the line and took aim at Mr. de Blasio for ordering vaccinations on what they said was too short of a timeline.

00:51:05.000 See, that's the rub.

00:51:07.000 The mandate applies to roughly 160,000 city employees.

00:51:12.000 At some three dozen agencies, including some with very high vaccination rates among their staff, such as the Landmarks Preservation Commission with a perfect 100% and the mayor's office at 96%.

00:51:26.000 An additional 140,000 city workers, mainly hospital, public health, and school employees, were already required to be vaccinated under earlier mandates.

00:51:36.000 New York is one of the first major American cities to require that its entire workforce receive the vaccination without the option of getting regular coronavirus vaccines.

00:51:46.000 Tests instead.

00:51:48.000 San Francisco set a similar mandate for its 35,000 city workers, which goes into effect on Monday.

00:51:55.000 And Los Angeles and Chicago have been pushing public workers to get vaccinated too.

00:52:00.000 Among states, Washington and Massachusetts are requiring their state employees to get fully vaccinated as well.

00:52:08.000 All workers placed on unpaid leave can return to work as soon as they show proof of a first vaccine dose.

00:52:15.000 The city has not yet announced how long workers may stay on leave before they are fired.

00:52:19.000 Expects to work that out with the unions.

00:52:22.000 Dire predictions of job losses also preceded each of the last two vaccine mandates one for the tens of thousands of Department of Education employees, which went into effect on October 4th, and again for over a million healthcare workers across the state, which went into effect around the same time.

00:52:40.000 In each case, thousands of holdouts appeared for shots at the last minute, and in some cases after deadlines, boosting vaccination rates among healthcare and education employees to around 95%.

00:52:57.000 So it's sort of a mixed bag.

00:52:58.000 On the one hand, it's a good sign that people are protesting and they're chanting, hold the line, and they're refusing to get vaccinated.

00:53:06.000 But there's a lot in here which is concerning.

00:53:10.000 You know, for example, these are all union workers, they're all unionized city workers.

00:53:16.000 And if you noticed in the article, they said the problem is not the mandate, it's not privacy, it's not the vaccine itself, it's not that it's compulsory.

00:53:27.000 They said the problem is that the deadline is coming up too soon.

00:53:34.000 And again, I don't know if that's something they're just saying because it really doesn't make sense.

00:53:38.000 The vaccine is free and it's widely available.

00:53:42.000 So they've had all year to get the vaccine, it's been widely available for months now.

00:53:50.000 Availability is not the problem.

00:53:52.000 And the timeline is not a problem either because it's been widely available for months.

00:53:58.000 So That leads me to believe that when they say it's just too soon, like that sounds to me like a political decision.

00:54:08.000 That's like some kind of calculated rhetorical decision that they made to make it about the timing of the deadline rather than what the deadline is for in itself.

00:54:20.000 But I'm a little bit concerned that it's not because they said the same thing in Chicago.

00:54:25.000 Initially, in Chicago, and the police union instructed the police officers not to submit their vaccination status.

00:54:33.000 Initially, they said it was about privacy.

00:54:36.000 Then, when the deadline actually went into effect, they said, well, the problem is that the union wasn't consulted.

00:54:43.000 In other words, they have no problem with the mandate itself and everything that that entails.

00:54:48.000 They're really just concerned about the so called details, the timing, the policy of unpaid leave, and when they get fired, and so on.

00:54:57.000 And they just should have consulted with the union.

00:54:59.000 They don't like that the union wasn't brought in to a conversation that they're willing to participate in, which.

00:55:05.000 Ostensibly, they have no problem with it, it's just that they weren't consulted.

00:55:09.000 And so, in Chicago, they backed down, they walked it back.

00:55:13.000 And in New York City, I'm hearing something similar.

00:55:16.000 They're not out there protesting that they have to get vaccinated or that their privacy is being violated or that it's compulsory.

00:55:24.000 Allegedly, they're protesting.

00:55:26.000 Again, nominally, what they're saying is that they don't like that the deadline is so soon.

00:55:32.000 Now, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me, like I said, because that really shouldn't be an issue that it's too soon.

00:55:37.000 If that's the only problem, Well, hey, you had a long time to get it, and it's everywhere.

00:55:42.000 Maybe they mean it.

00:55:44.000 That wouldn't make sense to me, but it's concerning that that's the battle cry because it should be no mandate.

00:55:52.000 Doesn't even have to be no vaccine, but it has to be no mandate.

00:55:55.000 But I'm not hearing that from anybody.

00:55:58.000 I'm not hearing that from any of the unions.

00:56:01.000 We didn't hear that from the Chicago Police Union.

00:56:03.000 We're not hearing this from the New York City Sanitation, from the fire department, from the police.

00:56:09.000 We're hearing all these other things.

00:56:10.000 You didn't consult the union.

00:56:12.000 The deadline's too soon.

00:56:14.000 It's not flexible enough.

00:56:15.000 What about some people that have exemptions?

00:56:18.000 Nobody's really protesting the mandate itself, and that's somewhat concerning.

00:56:23.000 The other thing is like this article says, they had previous mandates.

00:56:28.000 They mandated that education and health employees got their vaccine on October 4th, which was three weeks ago.

00:56:35.000 And there were rumors that there would be shortages of staff when that deadline went into effect, and then that just never materialized.

00:56:44.000 They've got 95% vaccination.

00:56:47.000 The holdouts got vaccinated last minute, and then they did after the mandate went into effect.

00:56:52.000 When faced with losing their job or getting vaccinated, they chose getting vaccinated, 95% of them.

00:56:58.000 And lots of other parts of the city government have already been nearly fully vaccinated.

00:57:02.000 It's just a small percentage of holdouts in the fire department and the police department.

00:57:07.000 And when they go out and protest, they're not even protesting the mandate, they're just saying, give us more time.

00:57:13.000 So it's a bright spot that people are standing up to this, that they're speaking out.

00:57:18.000 But that being said, it's really not that bright when the message is wrong and it's dubious how long they're going to be holding out.

00:57:25.000 They're saying hold the line, but they've said that before.

00:57:29.000 And we've seen it with the Delta Airlines, where they said, well, we're not going to, I think it was Delta, they said, we're not going to enforce a vaccine mandate.

00:57:41.000 We're just going to surcharge you or upcharge you $200 a month for your health care if you don't get vaccinated.

00:57:48.000 And then they got to 95% vaccination.

00:57:51.000 Remember that?

00:57:52.000 And same with Southwest.

00:57:53.000 You know, they had a vaccine mandate.

00:57:55.000 Since then, they've backed down.

00:57:57.000 But it's relatively the same thing.

00:58:00.000 And we've seen other strikes and walkouts and things like that.

00:58:03.000 But I'm not hearing about too many success stories.

00:58:06.000 I'm hearing about a lot of capitulation.

00:58:08.000 A lot of people are just capitulating.

00:58:11.000 So we'll see what happens in New York.

00:58:13.000 We'll probably know about it next week or the week after that, you know, what the effects of the mandate will be.

00:58:19.000 If there's going to be shortages, And we'll see it.

00:58:21.000 We'll see it in the streets.

00:58:22.000 If the garbage starts piling up, if the crime is bad, if there's a visibly smaller police force or something, then we'll know that there's a strike going on.

00:58:31.000 But I'm not really banking on it.

00:58:34.000 I'm not counting on it because, you know, time and again, nobody seems to be willing to stand up even to the mandate.

00:58:40.000 No one's going to fight the vaccine.

00:58:42.000 That's been made apparent.

00:58:43.000 And no one's even going to fight the mandate.

00:58:45.000 They all want to quibble about details.

00:58:47.000 Well, we want our exemption.

00:58:48.000 Well, we want more time.

00:58:49.000 Well, we want this or that.

00:58:52.000 You know, nobody's really resisting what it is in itself.

00:58:56.000 So, there's not a lot of room, in my opinion, for optimism then on this front.

00:59:01.000 We'll see, but I'm not very optimistic about it.

00:59:05.000 I will say, though, don't let this dissuade you. 0.99

00:59:07.000 Because, like we said on the show yesterday, these people are suckers. 1.00

00:59:12.000 If you're out there getting vaccinated and complying and you become part of that 95%, you're the sucker. 0.99

00:59:19.000 You're going to keep your job, but you're going to be fully vaccinated and then you're going to be getting boosters. 0.95

00:59:24.000 And it's going to be other things. 0.66

00:59:27.000 For the rest of your life, in order to keep your employment, this is the opportunity for people to get out, to get out of the rat race. 0.97

00:59:35.000 Healthy, alive, in one piece. 0.96

00:59:37.000 Start thinking about it because these kinds of arbitrary demands that are detrimental to your health and conscience, this is only the beginning.

00:59:46.000 They're going to become more onerous, the demands are going to become more onerous, they're going to become more strenuous, they're going to become more frequent, and it's going to be the same deal, the same ultimatum.

00:59:59.000 Do what we say or get fired.

01:00:01.000 So, you know, some people are going to get vaccinated.

01:00:04.000 They're going to get their booster shots.

01:00:05.000 They're going to do a lot of things that they're not happy about doing.

01:00:09.000 And then one day they're going to say, I'm sick of it.

01:00:11.000 And then they're going to get themselves fired.

01:00:13.000 Well, why would you go through all that?

01:00:14.000 Why would you destroy your body and violate your conscience and do all these things just to realize in the future after all that what I'm telling you right now?

01:00:24.000 You know what I mean?

01:00:25.000 Some people are going to have this realization and say, I've had enough five years down the road.

01:00:30.000 And they've been totally vaxed up. 0.99

01:00:32.000 And they, you know, been through all this other bullshit. 0.98

01:00:35.000 They did this, said that, and they're going to have a lot of regrets. 0.99

01:00:39.000 So, you know, I stand by it.

01:00:41.000 Do not get vaccinated.

01:00:42.000 I don't know how optimistic I am that there's going to be this mass movement or anything like that.

01:00:49.000 We've got to hold the line.

01:00:51.000 We've got to stay strong.

01:00:52.000 Don't get vaccinated.

01:00:53.000 Find an exemption if you can, but be willing to get fired if you can't. 0.69

01:00:59.000 Do not get vaccinated. 0.68

01:01:00.000 It doesn't matter what the person next to you is doing.

01:01:03.000 You've got to decide for yourself.

01:01:05.000 Are you owned?

01:01:06.000 By global government? 0.80

01:01:07.000 Are you owned by Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates and the Jews and Dr. Fauci and Big Pharma and the Club of Rome? 0.84

01:01:16.000 Are you owned by them? 0.86

01:01:18.000 Are you controlled by them?

01:01:20.000 Are you that desperate?

01:01:24.000 They control how you feed yourself and how you make a living and so on.

01:01:29.000 And so you let them control your body and your soul.

01:01:32.000 I think that's ultimately what it is.

01:01:34.000 It's kind of like you're giving it up, you're kind of selling your soul for.

01:01:39.000 And some people might say, well, you don't have a family.

01:01:41.000 You don't make a living like the rest of us.

01:01:43.000 Yeah, you're right.

01:01:44.000 I don't have a family.

01:01:45.000 I don't have much to lose.

01:01:47.000 And you're right.

01:01:47.000 I don't make a living like most of you do.

01:01:50.000 But maybe that makes me able to see it more clearly than somebody who is invested.

01:01:56.000 You know, I don't drink alcohol.

01:01:58.000 And so I could probably see better than an alcoholic can or somebody dependent on alcohol the evils of it.

01:02:05.000 I could probably say that plainly and independently and without, you know, the temptation.

01:02:12.000 And in the same way, yeah, I mean, I don't have a family to feed.

01:02:15.000 And yeah, I don't have a normal job.

01:02:17.000 So it's not the same for me.

01:02:20.000 That is 100% true.

01:02:23.000 But maybe that puts me in a unique position to see another dimension of it that other people can't see.

01:02:29.000 Because a lot of people are willing to justify it to themselves because they say, well, he just doesn't get it.

01:02:36.000 I need this.

01:02:37.000 I have to have this.

01:02:39.000 You know what you need?

01:02:40.000 And I know it's going to sound corny, but the only thing that you need, the only appetite that you need to sate, is your spiritual appetite.

01:02:49.000 This is what it tells us in the Bible.

01:02:51.000 And this is not necessarily a biblical matter, but it is a matter of conscience.

01:02:57.000 It's a matter of will.

01:02:58.000 It's a matter of mind.

01:03:00.000 It's a matter of the soul.

01:03:02.000 And so I don't know that it's necessarily a moral matter whether or not you get the vaccine.

01:03:06.000 I don't know that it's a moral question.

01:03:09.000 But it does concern certainly something spiritual in the sense that if you're willing to give up your conscience on this issue and your body too, Again, so you could make a living and you could live a more comfortable life, and it's definitely about convenience, it's definitely about comfort.

01:03:32.000 You know, what else are you willing to compromise on?

01:03:34.000 What else in your conscience, what else of your body, of your flesh, and the rest are you willing to compromise for that?

01:03:42.000 And so, this is when we're really going to separate out who's serious and who really believes this stuff and who doesn't.

01:03:47.000 Because if you go out and get vaccinated, I don't know that you really believe this stuff, honestly.

01:03:53.000 I mean, yeah, you believe it, but you're not living it.

01:03:56.000 And so, if you're not living it, if you're not willing it, if you're not using those faculties and you're not consistent on that level, is it really a belief or is it just kind of like, I don't know, sort of an opinion, kind of like this arbitrary position you've taken?

01:04:17.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:04:19.000 So, I think regardless of the chances that this could succeed on a national level, you still have a A moral obligation or some kind of obligation.

01:04:29.000 Again, I don't know that it's moral, but you do have an obligation to say no and not get vaccinated.

01:04:33.000 Because, like I said, if you do it now, what else can they make you do?

01:04:37.000 If it's that important to you, if you're so dependent on the system, what does that say about you?

01:04:44.000 No, you can't take my job.

01:04:45.000 You can't take my living.

01:04:47.000 You can't.

01:04:47.000 What will I do?

01:04:48.000 Where will I go?

01:04:51.000 I mean, if you answer to them on that basis, then they own you.

01:04:56.000 I think it's as simple as that.

01:04:58.000 And, you know, that's.

01:05:00.000 That's a decision people have to make for themselves.

01:05:02.000 You could look at me and say, Nick, you don't get it. 1.00

01:05:04.000 You're stupid. 1.00

01:05:05.000 You don't have a real job. 1.00

01:05:06.000 You've never had a real job.

01:05:08.000 You don't know the decision I have to make.

01:05:10.000 It's so hard.

01:05:11.000 Okay.

01:05:12.000 Everybody has to make their decision.

01:05:14.000 Everybody has to make their decision.

01:05:16.000 It's your body, it's your conscience.

01:05:18.000 And I'll tell you, the more people that go along with it, the harder that makes it for the rest of us.

01:05:24.000 But I'll tell you, no matter how hard it gets, I'm not getting it.

01:05:27.000 Some people might say it's not that hard for me because I'm not in the same situation.

01:05:30.000 But.

01:05:31.000 I'll tell you that them making it harder on us, I've decided I'll never get it.

01:05:36.000 So it doesn't matter how hard it gets, I'm never going to get it.

01:05:39.000 But it does make it harder for us.

01:05:40.000 And I don't appreciate it, but people do have their own, you know, they have to make up their own mind and they have to make their own decision to your body, to your life.

01:05:49.000 If you can live with that, then that's on you.

01:05:51.000 If you want to do that so you could keep making money, hey, whatever, and support your family and travel or do what you have to do.

01:06:00.000 I think it's unconscionable, but it's, it's, Obviously, everybody's prerogative to decide.

01:06:05.000 So that's that.

01:06:06.000 I mean, we'll see what happens.

01:06:08.000 We're going to keep an eye on New York, and we'll, of course, be there on the ground next week.

01:06:13.000 At the end of next week, we'll be over in New York City.

01:06:16.000 So, not next week, the week after that.

01:06:21.000 So, stay tuned for that.

01:06:22.000 We'll keep an eye on this and we'll see how successful this holding the line will be.

01:06:28.000 But in the meantime, we're going to take a look at our super chats and see what you guys have to say about all this.

01:06:36.000 Let me crack open my San Pellegrino here.

01:06:41.000 And let me log on.

01:06:43.000 Let me log on to my super chats.

01:06:47.000 And see what we got here.

01:06:50.000 I don't really like this chair.

01:06:51.000 I don't really like my new setup.

01:06:53.000 I'm going to be honest.

01:06:55.000 I still feel uncomfortable.

01:06:56.000 I feel like this desk is too high.

01:06:58.000 I feel like the chair is too.

01:07:01.000 It's like the back is sort of like this.

01:07:01.000 I don't know.

01:07:05.000 I can't really lean back as much as I like.

01:07:09.000 I almost need to break it, I think.

01:07:16.000 Anyway.

01:07:19.000 So, I'm a little bit uncomfortable.

01:07:21.000 I'm uncomfy.

01:07:24.000 Okay.

01:07:25.000 Well, let's see.

01:07:26.000 We're going to read your super chats here starting now.

01:07:29.000 Let me just pull it up real quick.

01:07:32.000 Was that a good show?

01:07:32.000 How was that?

01:07:34.000 I feel like it was kind of all over the place.

01:07:34.000 I don't know.

01:07:39.000 You know?

01:07:41.000 A lot of different subject matter.

01:07:46.000 But maybe you guys like the change of pace.

01:07:49.000 I don't know.

01:07:51.000 Usually, we don't talk about the tech stuff outside the context of censorship.

01:07:58.000 The VAC stuff is the usual.

01:08:02.000 All right, let's see.

01:08:03.000 Let's take a look.

01:08:04.000 We'll see what we got.

01:08:07.000 Let me take a sip first.

01:08:16.000 Okay.

01:08:18.000 Meta Squid.

01:08:19.000 So, should corporations be treated as people in a legal setting? 0.98

01:08:26.000 Yeah, I mean, that's kind of like a dumb question.

01:08:31.000 Because the thing is, corporations are comprised of people. 0.73

01:08:34.000 So, I mean, what else would you treat it as?

01:08:36.000 I mean, people say there should be more restrictions, you know, specifically when it concerns like electoral politics, you know.

01:08:50.000 That's usually the conversation.

01:08:51.000 That's the context of this conversation happens as people say, well, should a corporation have the same right that an individual has to contribute to a campaign and therefore exercise partisan support?

01:09:05.000 It's like free expression.

01:09:08.000 Yeah, I think so.

01:09:09.000 I think so because corporations are comprised of people.

01:09:12.000 But certainly, corporations are so big that you have to, there has to be some kind of distinguishing criteria because.

01:09:21.000 People say they hate corporations, and it's like that kind of shows how ignorant people are of what a corporation is.

01:09:28.000 You know, as a corporation could be one person.

01:09:32.000 In fact, I think that's what most corporations are it's like one person or a few people.

01:09:39.000 You know, a corporation is really just like a tax category, right?

01:09:44.000 It's just something arbitrary that exists in tax law, business law.

01:09:52.000 It's a legal classification.

01:09:54.000 So when people say corporation, their mind goes to multinational, you know, giant corporation with hundreds or thousands of employees and millionaires and billionaires.

01:10:07.000 But that's not really what a corporation is.

01:10:09.000 I'm a corporation.

01:10:11.000 You know, I was a sole proprietor for a long time, tactically, as a self employed person of a corporation.

01:10:20.000 You know, and I've got some corporations now, and it's It's not what you think.

01:10:25.000 If you've never done it, if you've just been a wage employee your whole life and maybe you don't have the experience, and not like I'm the most experienced person ever, but I've gone through it enough times to kind of get it.

01:10:38.000 It's not what people think it is.

01:10:39.000 So when people say corporations, it's like, well, yeah, people have to distinguish what they mean when they say it, and there should be some kind of criteria in the law.

01:10:50.000 Because why should a sole proprietor be treated the same way as Facebook?

01:10:56.000 You know, a sole proprietor should be able to have the rights of a human being.

01:11:01.000 They should be treated as a human being because they literally are human beings.

01:11:04.000 And even a smaller corporation, a small business should be treated that way because it's one owner, probably making a living wage or a little bit more.

01:11:14.000 But that should not be treated the same way as Amazon or Facebook or Apple.

01:11:19.000 So, you know, there should be some kind of criteria to separate and differentiate between the two because I hear that and You know, I get what you're saying.

01:11:30.000 I understand what you're saying, but on a technical level, a corporation is, you know, it's kind of a meaningless thing in a sense.

01:11:39.000 Because you could say corporation and you could mean your contractor, you know, your plumber is a corporation, and so is Apple.

01:11:47.000 So what are you talking about, you know? 0.99

01:11:51.000 Metal says there are two types of people, neither are black.

01:11:57.000 Epic Guy says Jesse Kelly put out a Tweet today saying that he's kicking his sons out the moment they turn 18.

01:11:57.000 Interesting.

01:12:04.000 Conservatives will pretend to be pro family, then do shit like this. 0.99

01:12:09.000 Yeah, I mean, I get it. 1.00

01:12:10.000 I understand the argument.

01:12:14.000 I understand what people are going for when they say that, when they say, you know, I want my kids to be independent.

01:12:20.000 That's what I did when I was a kid.

01:12:22.000 But, you know, it's not, the situation is not the same as it was 30 years ago.

01:12:27.000 And even still, I don't know if this is a cultural thing, if this is an Anglo thing or something.

01:12:34.000 But this is not trad.

01:12:36.000 This is not Lindy.

01:12:37.000 It's not even economical.

01:12:39.000 This really doesn't make any sense.

01:12:41.000 You know, this is like kicking your kids out when they turn 18.

01:12:45.000 I don't know when that started, and I don't know whose idea that was, but it's really not, that's not something that should be encouraged, in my opinion.

01:12:57.000 I think that having multi generational households is probably the best way to have multi generational wealth. 0.82

01:13:05.000 And honestly, that's probably a superior form of living because what are we really supposed to do as a society? 0.74

01:13:13.000 I mean, think about it this way.

01:13:16.000 You know, kid turns 18.

01:13:18.000 Maybe they go to college.

01:13:19.000 Maybe they go to trade school.

01:13:20.000 Maybe they just work.

01:13:21.000 You know, maybe they just live at home and work or something.

01:13:26.000 And the parents want to kick them out.

01:13:28.000 So, what is that supposed to be?

01:13:30.000 We're going to have now mom and dad living at home in a house that they raised a family in.

01:13:37.000 So, mom and dad living in a big house, big enough for a family, now it's just the two parents residing in it.

01:13:44.000 And we're using this for the sake of example.

01:13:45.000 You could say maybe there's more kids or something.

01:13:47.000 Maybe they move out.

01:13:48.000 But, You know, mom and dad have been working all their life.

01:13:52.000 They've saved all this money.

01:13:54.000 They have accumulated wealth.

01:13:56.000 The house is part of their wealth.

01:13:58.000 Bigger house probably than they would have otherwise if they were just a couple.

01:14:02.000 So they're going to kick the kids out and they're just going to sit there.

01:14:05.000 Now the kid's going to have a rent, probably, or a mortgage.

01:14:09.000 Housing prices are inflated sky high.

01:14:12.000 Wages are down.

01:14:14.000 Cost of living is up.

01:14:15.000 So now the kid's going to go out and live on their own, making a subsistence living, not building wealth.

01:14:22.000 Mom and dad accumulating wealth.

01:14:24.000 You know, the peak earning years are 40s, 50s, 60s.

01:14:28.000 That's when the wealth has been accumulated, retirement funds have been accumulated.

01:14:32.000 They're in a house, probably that's got a lot of equity in it.

01:14:37.000 So the parents will continue to accumulate wealth in a big, basically empty house by themselves, empty nesters.

01:14:46.000 And then the kid with very little earning potential, not even close to his peak, especially in this economy, still needs maybe to get a degree, develop a skill.

01:14:55.000 Or figure out some kind of a hustle or something, they're not building wealth.

01:14:59.000 If anything, they're doing the opposite.

01:15:00.000 They're getting into debt, their cash flow is all wrong, they're pouring money into rent and other expenses, not making a lot of money.

01:15:08.000 So, on a financial level, this really doesn't make a lot of sense.

01:15:13.000 The parents who have accumulated the wealth and are in their peak earning years continue to just accumulate towards what?

01:15:20.000 Retirement, maybe, or something like that.

01:15:23.000 And the kids, the kids who do not have the earning power, And the kids who do not have the accumulated wealth, and in a totally different economy, honestly, where it's difficult to get there to level up, they're drowning.

01:15:36.000 They're treading water with this sort of redundancy, too.

01:15:41.000 Now, mom and dad live in a house, and the kid lives in an apartment or something.

01:15:45.000 This is redundancy.

01:15:47.000 Kid lives in a studio apartment instead of his bedroom and his child at home.

01:15:51.000 So, from an economical level, this doesn't really make sense.

01:15:54.000 The kid should be at home where it's not a big imposition on the parents.

01:15:59.000 Maybe it helps the parents.

01:16:01.000 I mean, it has to go both ways.

01:16:03.000 Maybe the kid helps out around the house, pays some of the bills or something like that, kicks something up to the parents.

01:16:10.000 But the kid should stay at home so that he can accumulate wealth and he's not pouring money into rent and other things while he's building up his earning power, while he's getting educated, developing a skill, whatever it is, working his way up the ladder at a company.

01:16:27.000 And then on a social level, it doesn't make much sense either.

01:16:31.000 Why really are the kids supposed to be kicked out? 0.98

01:16:34.000 Then they can go and have sex in their apartment. 0.99

01:16:34.000 So what? 0.99

01:16:37.000 That's usually why people move out, is so they could go and throw parties and have sex.

01:16:42.000 That's generally speaking why they do it. 0.94

01:16:44.000 They're racing to get out of the house.

01:16:47.000 Why?

01:16:48.000 You know, when you're at home, you got a nicer house that you could afford on your own.

01:16:53.000 You got people in there, you got amenities, you got food, you got family, all that good stuff.

01:17:00.000 Maybe a car, transportation, right?

01:17:02.000 But what you don't have is independence, the nightlife, all that kind of stuff.

01:17:09.000 And then the parents, so the kid goes out, he's coming home to an empty apartment by themselves, maybe using that for sexual trysts or something, parties, other degenerate stuff.

01:17:27.000 And the parents are then home alone.

01:17:28.000 Who's going to take care of them?

01:17:30.000 They're maybe older.

01:17:31.000 I don't know how old they are.

01:17:32.000 I guess it depends.

01:17:33.000 But they're maybe older.

01:17:35.000 Maybe they need help.

01:17:38.000 And maybe you've got grandparents too.

01:17:40.000 Then there's that.

01:17:40.000 It's really like three generations grandparents, parents, and kids.

01:17:44.000 Who's going to take care of all these people?

01:17:46.000 From a social point of view, it doesn't make much sense either.

01:17:49.000 And so I think it's actually, I'm not an anthropologist, but I think historically it's a lot more common that you have the grandparents, the parents, and the kids living in the same house.

01:17:59.000 And now we have community.

01:18:01.000 You know, when the kids get married, then they move out and they have kids of their own.

01:18:05.000 And then their parents move in.

01:18:08.000 And this is how it's done.

01:18:09.000 And this is how you accumulate wealth.

01:18:11.000 This is how the kids can build up their earning power.

01:18:14.000 And this is actually how you have a real sense of community.

01:18:17.000 Not like this kind of weird thing we have now, where it's like this Seinfeld thing, this friends dynamic, where people go into the city and they have an apartment and they have a group of friends and they sit around drinking wine and they're fucking each other and all this kind of stuff.

01:18:32.000 But a real community.

01:18:33.000 You're there with your grandparents, your parents, you know?

01:18:39.000 And there's this real social fabric.

01:18:42.000 Fabric meaning things are bound together.

01:18:44.000 That's what a fabric is.

01:18:46.000 There's a common thread and threads stitch together.

01:18:49.000 What do you think the thread is?

01:18:52.000 The threads in the social fabric are the families.

01:18:56.000 You know, that's what the thread is.

01:19:00.000 The thread being linear, being a line, is temporal.

01:19:05.000 It's in time.

01:19:06.000 You know, that is part of, I mean, I don't know if I need to tell you this, but that is what the social fabric is comprised of is through time.

01:19:16.000 It's the familial line, it is family, mother and father and children.

01:19:24.000 And so, people want to have a social fabric, and then they say, I'm kicking my kids out when they turn 18.

01:19:29.000 Now, it's one thing if your kids get married and have a family, then it might make more sense for them to move out.

01:19:35.000 Some don't.

01:19:37.000 But, you know, that makes more sense.

01:19:39.000 You get married, and then you move out, and you have a family on your own because you need more room.

01:19:43.000 And then it makes sense to have a house, and it makes sense to have your own domicile.

01:19:47.000 And then maybe your parents move in with you.

01:19:50.000 But this makes sense.

01:19:51.000 Where's everybody going?

01:19:52.000 Where's everybody in such a big hurry to get to when they're moving out and they're moving to the city, and they got to?

01:19:58.000 Get a big apartment.

01:19:59.000 You know, it's pretty amazing.

01:20:01.000 Every young person is in this existential crisis of, I don't know anybody.

01:20:07.000 I don't have any friends.

01:20:08.000 Not just young people, old people too.

01:20:10.000 Empty nesters and these kids, they're all treading water.

01:20:14.000 They're all lonely.

01:20:15.000 They're all, you know, searching.

01:20:17.000 They're all looking for belonging.

01:20:19.000 They're all looking for their place in the world.

01:20:22.000 And their place in the world is not on a corporate ladder, it's where they feel at home, where they feel like there are people like them that know them, that know them, and, you know, They see all the time.

01:20:34.000 Like that's what a social fabric is.

01:20:36.000 And at the same time, there's this gaping hole that people have this sense of belonging, this social element.

01:20:45.000 But yet, everybody's racing to go live alone in a studio apartment.

01:20:49.000 You know, that's why a lot of kids are so desperate to go to college and then, you know, try and recreate the college experience once they're out of college. 0.99

01:20:59.000 That's why people into their 20s and 30s are still doing that kind of stupid shit because college is the last. 0.99

01:21:05.000 That's the last vestige of the kind of community you get from school. 1.00

01:21:10.000 You know, in college, like high school or primary school, you got all kinds of kids and you're all forced to be in classes and extracurriculars.

01:21:16.000 It's not the real world, it's this artificial community.

01:21:19.000 And then they go out into the real world and it's like, oh, I'm at my job and then I come home to my apartment and that's it.

01:21:25.000 And maybe you make some friends, some work friends, old college friends or something, but it's not the same.

01:21:30.000 And people go, oh, I'm depressed.

01:21:31.000 And it's like, you know, gee, I wonder why.

01:21:35.000 It's almost like you have parents and grandparents and you're supposed to have a wife and kids.

01:21:39.000 It's almost like there's this whole social institution that's basically designed exactly for that.

01:21:46.000 Designed for companionship, one for one, a man and a woman married.

01:21:52.000 And then the kind of, you know, the other kind of companionship, the other kind of social utility that you get from older and younger, from parents, grandparents, and kids.

01:22:01.000 Like, I don't understand this cult of, no, you got to get out there, you got to go and get an apartment, and, uh, And all this kind of stuff, it just never made a lot of sense to me.

01:22:14.000 So, yeah, parents talk like that.

01:22:16.000 They think they're so tough.

01:22:17.000 I'm going to do this.

01:22:18.000 I'm going to do that.

01:22:19.000 And I get it.

01:22:20.000 I mean, yeah, it makes kids independent and things like that.

01:22:24.000 I'm not a parent, so I can't really speak to it with full knowledge.

01:22:30.000 But I think that the whole concept is kind of misguided.

01:22:34.000 People need to really kind of rethink what we want our lives to look like.

01:22:40.000 You know, I love my parents.

01:22:41.000 I don't know how much longer I'll have with my parents.

01:22:47.000 And that goes for your whole family.

01:22:49.000 You don't know how much time you have with your family.

01:22:52.000 And those are the people that care the most about you.

01:22:55.000 And those are the people that you care the most about.

01:22:58.000 Those are the people that, if anybody has your best interest in mind, it's them.

01:23:02.000 Those are the people that know you, want what's good for you.

01:23:08.000 They want what's best for the best part of you.

01:23:11.000 And I think it's honestly a sinister agenda to try to rip that apart.

01:23:16.000 And again, it's not to say that, oh, you should never live on your own or whatever or something like that, but people should kind of rethink what they want their lives to look like.

01:23:26.000 Do you want to live this kind of atomized existence, which is based on partying and these very flimsy, superficial relationships that you have at work or college?

01:23:36.000 It's drinking buddies, it's gaming buddies, people you play fucking fantasy football with, hookups with strange women or for women, men on dating apps and in a lonely apartment in a.

01:23:49.000 High rise in the city? 0.98

01:23:51.000 Is that an enriching life?

01:23:54.000 Are those the people we want to spend our limited time with?

01:23:58.000 Is that who we want to have an intimate cohabitation with?

01:24:02.000 I don't think so.

01:24:04.000 I think that's a very twisted way of looking at things.

01:24:07.000 And I don't think it's always been that way.

01:24:08.000 So, you know.

01:24:12.000 And I thought about that a lot in college, too, because that was the first time I lived on my own.

01:24:17.000 And the first and only time I lived on my own was when I went away to Boston and I was in college.

01:24:22.000 And I missed my parents, you know.

01:24:24.000 And I was in another state, I was in another city.

01:24:27.000 This is what I was told everybody does.

01:24:29.000 And this is fun.

01:24:30.000 And I had a lot of fun and everything.

01:24:31.000 But.

01:24:32.000 I miss my parents.

01:24:32.000 I miss where I grew up.

01:24:33.000 I miss that.

01:24:34.000 I miss the roots, the grounding that I had.

01:24:37.000 I felt like I was disconnected.

01:24:38.000 I felt like a stranger, an alien.

01:24:41.000 It's not a good feeling.

01:24:42.000 It's not a good feeling to be in a strange place with strange people.

01:24:46.000 But we've grown accustomed to that.

01:24:48.000 We've grown accustomed to the alienation.

01:24:51.000 And I can't help but think that that is not good for us.

01:24:56.000 I think that's good for the society that we've created.

01:25:00.000 That's good for employers.

01:25:02.000 That's good for companies.

01:25:03.000 That's good for firms.

01:25:05.000 And for the government, I don't think that's what's best for us.

01:25:08.000 You know, everybody's trying to create their own way of doing it.

01:25:12.000 It's like we've got the blueprint get married young, have kids, stay with your family, stay with your family, stay where you're born, with your community.

01:25:23.000 I don't understand this like rush to just cut yourself off.

01:25:27.000 I'm leaving my parents, I'm leaving my town behind.

01:25:30.000 It's like that Ben Shapiro, it's like that Ben Shapiro show he did with Tucker Carlson.

01:25:37.000 When Tucker said, You know, you're forcing these people out of towns where their great grandparents are buried in the local cemetery because the jobs have fled, because venture capitalists come in and they eat everything up.

01:25:51.000 You know, private equity comes in and they devour these companies, they liquidate them, and they destroy towns and cities.

01:25:57.000 And people are forced to migrate because there's no jobs and they live in ghost towns.

01:26:01.000 And Shapiro goes, Well, all that you're proudest in America is the adventure of a lifetime.

01:26:06.000 And it's like, that's what we want our lives to be.

01:26:08.000 Go and live the town you grew up in, your parents grew up in, to go work on an Oil rig to go work on a fracking mine in North Dakota or Texas or something in some alien place with alien people, go and drown out your sorrows at the local dive bar.

01:26:25.000 That's no way to live.

01:26:27.000 So, yeah, I think that that attitude is really misguided.

01:26:32.000 And it's for a couple of reasons economical or economic, I should say.

01:26:38.000 Economic reasons.

01:26:39.000 It's not economical to do that, but it's an economic reason.

01:26:43.000 Economic reasons and social reasons.

01:26:45.000 It's just.

01:26:46.000 You know, why would you do that?

01:26:48.000 So you could sound tough or something.

01:26:49.000 I get it.

01:26:50.000 You make the kids independent and all that, but I think that's more about signaling than anything.

01:27:06.000 So, yeah, I think that's pretty messed up.

01:27:09.000 Pretty messed up.

01:27:11.000 I mean, I get it.

01:27:11.000 It's the parent's prerogative.

01:27:15.000 It is the parent.

01:27:15.000 I'm not saying that.

01:27:16.000 I'm not trying to say that as like a spoiled kid.

01:27:18.000 Like, you can't kick me out, mom.

01:27:20.000 I'm not saying that.

01:27:21.000 I'm saying that a multi generational household, to me, there's so much life there.

01:27:28.000 There's so much life in a multi generational household.

01:27:30.000 I wish that my grandma, before she passed, I wish that she lived in my house.

01:27:36.000 You know?

01:27:37.000 With my family.

01:27:38.000 I wish we had that more intimate relationship because your family are the closest people to you.

01:27:46.000 They really are your parents, your grandparents.

01:27:51.000 And like I said, they want what's best for you.

01:27:53.000 And it serves nobody's interest other than people that want to take advantage of you to cut you off from your roots like that.

01:28:00.000 And that's what that is.

01:28:02.000 Young people, especially young men, their brains are not fully developed, their hormones are still raging, they're impulsive.

01:28:10.000 They're without guidance, again, without earning power, to cut them off from their family, to cut them off from their home, and then put them, again, in that kind of environment in college.

01:28:22.000 And this is all so normalized.

01:28:25.000 And what's the expectation?

01:28:27.000 Guy goes to college and does what?

01:28:29.000 I mean, what do we all know happens in college?

01:28:32.000 Who is this benefiting?

01:28:33.000 This is benefiting the devil.

01:28:35.000 This is giving more souls to the devil, and it's putting more souls in hell, honestly.

01:28:41.000 The family is a sacred institution.

01:28:44.000 You know, we understand God by analogy through the family.

01:28:49.000 God the Father, God the Son, the Virgin Mary, the Blessed Mother.

01:28:56.000 And that's what that is.

01:28:58.000 You know, is God our Father the same way that your biological dad is?

01:29:03.000 Well, not literally.

01:29:04.000 It's an analogy.

01:29:06.000 Family is an analogy for how we were created in a loving way and how God wants what's best for us.

01:29:13.000 God created us.

01:29:16.000 To be with him and so on.

01:29:18.000 A point being is family is a sanctifying, sacred institution.

01:29:22.000 Matrimony is a sacrament.

01:29:26.000 And the fruits of matrimony, which is children, are a blessing.

01:29:30.000 This is a sacred institution.

01:29:33.000 It's in the Ten Commandments honor thy mother and thy father.

01:29:36.000 And the parents have an obligation to the child.

01:29:38.000 This is a sacred institution that was created for us, for our natural.

01:29:46.000 For our natural and supernatural ends.

01:29:49.000 And it's become so normalized to just shirk that and go off to college. 1.00

01:29:53.000 Fuck you, mom and dad. 1.00

01:29:55.000 I'm going to go live in an apartment and I'm going to fuck around. 1.00

01:29:59.000 Bada boy. 1.00

01:30:00.000 I hate, I hate these men. 1.00

01:30:03.000 I hate these men, especially boomers and Gen Xers. 1.00

01:30:06.000 I see it all the time that go, Bada boy, get some pussy. 1.00

01:30:11.000 That is mortal sin. 1.00

01:30:13.000 That is mortal sin.

01:30:16.000 It comes across as preachy or puritanical to talk about it that way, but that's what it is.

01:30:21.000 It is mortal sin.

01:30:23.000 The kind of lifestyle that people live in college, make no mistake about it.

01:30:27.000 There's no ambiguity, there's no gray area.

01:30:29.000 It's mortal sin.

01:30:30.000 It is occasion to sin, it is mortal sin.

01:30:34.000 The devil, I'm sure, celebrates every time a young man or woman goes off to college because you see the results. 1.00

01:30:40.000 You see the results very visibly in the women. 1.00

01:30:44.000 You see those before and after pictures.

01:30:46.000 They go in with long hair and dresses and daddy's little girl.

01:30:50.000 And then they go and then they come out with bangs and their makeup and they, you know, and they're fat and everything.

01:30:58.000 And so the devil loves when the children are separated from their parents who want what's best for them and go off to college where they can be tempted, where they've got, of course, all these worldly temptations.

01:31:13.000 They've got that culture on the campus, and the professors, the institutions themselves are liberal.

01:31:18.000 And all of this in the media, too, is celebrated these Nelk, the Nelk team, and the senders, and this whole culture.

01:31:27.000 It's disgusting.

01:31:29.000 And we're all supposed to have this totally, you know, blase attitude about it. 0.90

01:31:34.000 Oh, kids will be kids.

01:31:36.000 That's just how it goes.

01:31:37.000 Well, that's not how it should be.

01:31:39.000 That's not how it's always been.

01:31:40.000 That's not how it's supposed to be.

01:31:43.000 So you really got to ask yourself who is that for?

01:31:45.000 Because it's not for your well being.

01:31:47.000 It's not for the well being of you or for your kids that they get cut off from their roots, cut off from their parents and from their home, and sent out into the world where they're going to do their thing.

01:32:00.000 Vada boy, I hate that culture so much.

01:32:03.000 Because there's so many young people out there that are confused and they are searching because everything has been destroyed, you know.

01:32:13.000 All of these institutions, you know, they say we're men among the ruins.

01:32:18.000 Everything that we believed in has been destroyed, mocked, ridiculed, and so on.

01:32:24.000 And so people really are searching for something, and then they're told, they're affirmed in their male identity that, well, what you should search for is, you know, is. 0.99

01:32:35.000 Pussy or you know, drugs, yeah, man. 0.99

01:32:39.000 Go and do drugs, go and do psychedelics, go and have crazy, go and drink and go and party. 1.00

01:32:44.000 And you know, I always knew there was something wrong with it on some level.

01:32:48.000 I was never impressed by people that regale you with stories of, dude, I got so drunk.

01:32:53.000 We were at this party, it was crazy.

01:32:56.000 This table broke. 0.97

01:32:58.000 Oh, this guy is crazy. 1.00

01:33:00.000 He goes to a party and then he dances like a retard, and that was insane. 1.00

01:33:04.000 What a wild time! 1.00

01:33:06.000 Like, is that what life is for?

01:33:07.000 And I always was never impressed by that.

01:33:10.000 But then you realize the depth of how immoral it is, and, you know, really what's going on there.

01:33:18.000 And it's a very serious thing. 0.97

01:33:20.000 So, yeah, so I'm very much in favor of the multi generational household. 0.84

01:33:24.000 I think that's how it should go.

01:33:27.000 But, but, at the same time, you got to be getting married, too.

01:33:33.000 That's the other thing.

01:33:34.000 We're not saying, like, hey, go and be the 40 year old virgin or something.

01:33:38.000 That's the whole point.

01:33:39.000 I mean, the old way of doing things was that.

01:33:42.000 Kids probably were moving out at a young age because they were having kids.

01:33:47.000 You know, people become sexually active when they hit puberty.

01:33:53.000 That's when their reproductive faculties develop because that's when they're supposed to get married.

01:33:57.000 That's when they're supposed to get married and that's when they're supposed to have kids and start their own families.

01:34:03.000 And so that goes hand in hand with it, too.

01:34:07.000 But people have got to start to think about how we are made to live, what's good for us, what's good for our souls, what's good for our well being.

01:34:15.000 Instead of this, like, we think we need to do certain things to fit what society expects us to do or what fits into this concept of what manliness is, you got to go out on your own and you got to sleep around and do this and that.

01:34:33.000 It's like, no, you don't actually.

01:34:36.000 So, anyway, that's a long rant.

01:34:39.000 That's a monologue.

01:34:40.000 That's a whole show.

01:34:42.000 That's a whole show contained within a super chat.

01:34:48.000 That's a whole show contained just within one super chat, but it's true.

01:34:52.000 But it's true.

01:34:55.000 So, anyway.

01:34:59.000 Chaffstream says, What are your thoughts on John Doyle?

01:35:02.000 He really transformed into a Groyper and sounds just like you, but on YouTube.

01:35:07.000 Also, what are your thoughts on Steven Crowder? 1.00

01:35:08.000 He's more right than Daily Wire fags. 1.00

01:35:11.000 I like Steven Crowder and I like John Doyle. 1.00

01:35:15.000 Zoomer Will says, I'm a Virginia Groyper and I don't know if I'm voting Young Kid for governor.

01:35:20.000 He's a total globalist who's spoken at billionaire summits, but he's also less likely to force the vax.

01:35:25.000 Do you have a take on it?

01:35:26.000 No, I haven't been following it.

01:35:28.000 I agree with your assessment, though.

01:35:30.000 I'd probably vote for him just on the Vax question alone.

01:35:34.000 But I agree, he's a globalist.

01:35:36.000 Joker says a lot of con ink people are trying very hard to replicate Trump or Tucker's style of speaking.

01:35:42.000 It's kind of unsettling.

01:35:44.000 But would you be more unsettled if they tried replicating your style of speaking?

01:35:48.000 Well, yeah, because it's me.

01:35:49.000 So it'd be more uncanny.

01:35:52.000 AZ Groypers saw Jaden, Gibby, and Joe the Boomer play Phasmophobia.

01:35:57.000 Had no idea Joe the Boomer.

01:35:59.000 Had the voice of command.

01:36:01.000 He really led them to victory over the demons.

01:36:04.000 Nick, it doesn't seem that scary.

01:36:05.000 Will you play?

01:36:07.000 And Job the Boomer's voice, powerful in person, too?

01:36:11.000 Yeah, I might play.

01:36:12.000 We'll see.

01:36:13.000 It looks a little scary.

01:36:14.000 It's not that scary, I guess.

01:36:17.000 And yeah, no, Job the Boomer's a specimen.

01:36:20.000 The guy is a towering giant.

01:36:24.000 People have compared him to Nephilim.

01:36:26.000 But he's getting up there in his advanced age, he's shrinking.

01:36:30.000 And of course, the wheelchair takes a lot of the height off, but he's still massive.

01:36:35.000 But yeah, the wheelchair, that kind of cut him down to size, cut him in half just about.

01:36:39.000 And he's decaying before your very eyes.

01:36:42.000 He's incredibly advanced in age.

01:36:45.000 I don't know how he's still alive.

01:36:46.000 He's withering away rapidly.

01:36:48.000 So, I mean, he's massive.

01:36:50.000 God only knows how big he was in his heyday 50, 60, 70 years ago.

01:36:57.000 But he's walked the earth for a long time.

01:37:01.000 And yeah, he's just as much of a presence in real life, bigger, I think, than he is online.

01:37:05.000 But online, he's able to be everywhere at once.

01:37:09.000 He's sort of like Padre Pio.

01:37:11.000 He can be in two or three or four places at once on the internet.

01:37:14.000 That's the thing.

01:37:15.000 In real life, he's only in one place.

01:37:17.000 On the internet, he seems to be everywhere.

01:37:19.000 He seems to be everywhere all the time.

01:37:24.000 Puerto Rican Groyper says I worked in a court this summer and we had a defendant who was a black member of the Moorish sovereign citizens.

01:37:32.000 And he represented himself and signed all his motions in his own blood and CC'd Joe Biden, the UN High Commissioner, and the King of Morocco on all his motions. 0.94

01:37:41.000 LMAO, guy was nuts. 0.95

01:37:43.000 That's pretty funny.

01:37:45.000 Chosen Lies says Assuming you're allowed to join, will you use Trump's upcoming Truth Social, at least during its initial release, to see if it's worthwhile?

01:37:53.000 Yeah.

01:37:54.000 Real Zoomer Dev says Hi, Nick.

01:37:56.000 I found the long lost episode of AF with Cassie Dillon on my hard drive.

01:38:01.000 I'm minting it as an NFT as we speak and will put it up for sale.

01:38:05.000 For 0.5 ETH.

01:38:07.000 By the way, AI is coming along great, Kay, thanks.

01:38:11.000 Is that the real Zoomer dev?

01:38:12.000 I don't know.

01:38:14.000 I can't tell.

01:38:16.000 But if it is, thanks.

01:38:18.000 Really?

01:38:19.000 The long.

01:38:20.000 Was there ever an episode with her on it?

01:38:23.000 I don't think she was ever on my show.

01:38:26.000 But I was on her show.

01:38:28.000 Do you mean her show?

01:38:29.000 Because I was on Raised Right with her.

01:38:32.000 I subbed in for Will Nardi.

01:38:36.000 That must have been January 2017.

01:38:40.000 Or December 2016, if you can believe it.

01:38:44.000 Yeah, she was never a guest on America First, but I was a guest on Raised Right once.

01:38:51.000 Or was it twice?

01:38:52.000 I think it was just the one time.

01:38:55.000 But that's pretty interesting.

01:38:56.000 If you have that, you got to send it to me.

01:38:58.000 I mean, you got to just send me a copy.

01:38:59.000 I don't need the NFT.

01:39:02.000 But that's pretty funny.

01:39:03.000 There's some of those streams that are just lost.

01:39:06.000 Despite my best efforts, I tried to save everything.

01:39:08.000 But some of those things are just lost to the ages.

01:39:12.000 It's kind of sad.

01:39:13.000 Like my debate with Will Nardi, the DACA demolition debate, that's gone.

01:39:18.000 Or I'm sorry, no, I have that one.

01:39:20.000 But my debate on his channel, that's gone.

01:39:23.000 Um,.

01:39:26.000 I'm trying to think.

01:39:27.000 My post debate interview with Cassie Dillon on Periscope, that's gone.

01:39:37.000 And what else?

01:39:38.000 Yeah, so there's a lot of it's just been lost, lost to time, sadly.

01:39:45.000 I still have a lot of that stuff, though.

01:39:47.000 I still have a lot of recordings, text messages, screenshots, pictures.

01:39:51.000 Still got a lot of stuff.

01:39:58.000 That was a different time.

01:39:59.000 Different time, way before, way before a lot of you guys.

01:40:03.000 Yeah, none of you guys were there for the most part.

01:40:06.000 Very few of you have been around that long.

01:40:09.000 That was five years ago.

01:40:11.000 Can you believe that?

01:40:12.000 I got into this five years ago.

01:40:15.000 Yeah, because my debate with Jake Brewer was almost five years ago to the day.

01:40:23.000 I think it was late October.

01:40:26.000 I don't know, or maybe it was early November.

01:40:28.000 Because the election was November 8th.

01:40:30.000 It was about a week before.

01:40:31.000 So it was either late October, early November.

01:40:35.000 So it's almost five years to the date, or to the day, I should say, that I debated Jake Brewer at BU.

01:40:44.000 And Cassie Dillon went out and she streamed it on Periscope.

01:40:50.000 And Milo watched the stream.

01:40:53.000 And Ben Shapiro watched the stream.

01:40:55.000 And she texted Ben Shapiro and she said something like, You gotta see this kid.

01:41:01.000 He's the next big thing.

01:41:02.000 You gotta take him under your wing.

01:41:04.000 And he was like, I'll check it out.

01:41:06.000 I have that screenshot.

01:41:08.000 And yeah, she said, Oh, 28,000 people watched that.

01:41:13.000 You have like 10 job offers.

01:41:14.000 Ben Shapiro's gonna watch your show.

01:41:17.000 Milo's gonna, or the debate.

01:41:18.000 Milo watched it.

01:41:21.000 My dad flew out to see it.

01:41:25.000 Those were good times.

01:41:27.000 I was just an, I wore this tie.

01:41:30.000 I wore this tie.

01:41:32.000 I wore this exact tie to that debate.

01:41:36.000 I don't think I wore the same suit, but I wore this exact tie to that debate.

01:41:42.000 Hmm.

01:41:45.000 Yeah, and I remember walking up to the, where the hell was it held?

01:41:51.000 It was held at the, what did they call it?

01:41:55.000 The GCU, which is like the common area in the basement.

01:42:02.000 Or was it in the, where the hell even was it?

01:42:05.000 I don't even remember actually.

01:42:08.000 Oh, you know what?

01:42:08.000 No, it was upstairs.

01:42:09.000 I remember exactly where it was.

01:42:13.000 Yeah.

01:42:17.000 Yep.

01:42:17.000 So, if you guys don't know, when I went to Boston U, I'll just tell the story really quickly.

01:42:24.000 When I went to Boston University in 2016, I got in there.

01:42:29.000 I was a freshman, I was 18.

01:42:32.000 I had been on campus for two months.

01:42:35.000 And they were doing this project.

01:42:40.000 One of the, I don't know, some film student was doing a project for BU Today.

01:42:45.000 BU Today was like their daily paper, their daily website, or whatever, Campus News.

01:42:51.000 And they were doing this project about who people on campus were voting for and what they thought of the election.

01:42:57.000 I was somewhat famous at the time because I would wear a MAGA hat everywhere on campus, and people were kind of talking about me, like on Yik Yak and everything.

01:43:06.000 And so they found me and they said, Hey, we'd love to hear you and why you're voting for Trump.

01:43:11.000 So I was in this feature with like 10 other people, and they were like, Oh, I'm going to vote for Clinton.

01:43:16.000 They were all voting for Clinton.

01:43:18.000 But so I was featured.

01:43:19.000 I had this little blurb.

01:43:20.000 I had like a two minute segment where I explained why I'm voting for Trump.

01:43:24.000 And I was included in that.

01:43:27.000 And I got on Twitter and was tweeting about that.

01:43:30.000 I tweeted a lot of controversial stuff. 0.99

01:43:32.000 And a lot of people on campus were saying, We'll kill you. 0.97

01:43:35.000 I better not see you on Commonwealth Avenue. 1.00

01:43:38.000 I'm going to fuck you up and stuff like that. 1.00

01:43:40.000 Because I was in that thing. 1.00

01:43:41.000 And then I was tweeting all this stuff.

01:43:44.000 And so people found my Twitter and they were like threatening to kill me or beat me up.

01:43:48.000 And that got picked up by Campus Reform.

01:43:50.000 Campus Reform did a story about it, about all the death threats I was getting.

01:43:57.000 And then Young Americans for Liberty approached me.

01:44:00.000 I forget the guy's name.

01:44:02.000 But the Young Americans for Liberty at a nearby campus reached out to me and they said, Hey, we want to set up a debate with you and one of the people that disagrees with you on Twitter.

01:44:13.000 And I said, Yeah, let's do it.

01:44:15.000 And he goes, Okay, I'll just start DMing some of the people that are arguing with you and we'll set up an event.

01:44:21.000 I said, okay.

01:44:23.000 And so he gets back to me a week later and he's like, well, we couldn't find anybody.

01:44:26.000 Nobody wants to debate you.

01:44:27.000 I was like, oh, that's a real shame.

01:44:28.000 Well, if that changes, let me know.

01:44:30.000 I mean, I'll debate anybody.

01:44:32.000 Then he contacts one last person and it was this guy, Jake Brewer.

01:44:36.000 I think that's his name.

01:44:37.000 He was the president of student government at Boston University.

01:44:41.000 He was literally the president of the student council or student government, whatever.

01:44:46.000 And he was down to do it.

01:44:47.000 He wore a beanie, had glasses, he was like a Marxist or whatever.

01:44:52.000 And so the debate was set up.

01:44:54.000 They rented a room, this big auditorium, and they advertised it everywhere.

01:44:59.000 They said, you know, student body president versus Nick Fuentes.

01:45:02.000 And the debate is do you vote for Trump or do you vote for Hillary Clinton?

01:45:07.000 And so, like, 300 people came to this.

01:45:09.000 Like, hundreds of people came to this debate.

01:45:11.000 I was a nobody.

01:45:12.000 I was just a freshman, relatively unknown.

01:45:15.000 I just became known because I was wearing my hat all around campus.

01:45:20.000 And because of my tweets and because I was in BU today.

01:45:24.000 And so.

01:45:26.000 Uh, yeah, so we had the debate, it was streamed on Periscope.

01:45:30.000 All my family watched it like my whole family, all my family friends watched it, and they were texting me, You did great, Nicholas, and all that.

01:45:38.000 And uh, we did the debate, it was very formal.

01:45:41.000 Then we did a QA, I think, from the audience.

01:45:44.000 Uh, like I said, Cassie Dillon live streamed it, and uh, she comes up to me, and I don't think I had met her, I think she had talked to me briefly on Facebook before.

01:45:52.000 But she comes up to me, and she's like, You did amazing.

01:45:55.000 She hugs me, she goes, You did amazing.

01:45:57.000 Oh my gosh, that was the best thing I ever saw.

01:46:00.000 Do you want to do an interview with me real quick?

01:46:01.000 And we do an interview on Periscope.

01:46:04.000 And she tells me, Oh, you got all these job offers.

01:46:07.000 Shapiro watched it.

01:46:08.000 Milo watched it.

01:46:09.000 Everybody watched it.

01:46:10.000 We got to stay in touch.

01:46:12.000 I got to get your number, blah, blah, blah.

01:46:14.000 And so that's how I got to know Cassie Dillon.

01:46:18.000 And then she was approached by Joe Seals at Right Side Broadcasting Network.

01:46:25.000 And Joe Seals asked her to do a show on their network.

01:46:29.000 And she accepted.

01:46:30.000 And she had a show with Will Nardi called Raised Right because Will Nardi was a.

01:46:34.000 A local YAL guy.

01:46:36.000 I think he was at Northeastern or something.

01:46:39.000 And so they had their show.

01:46:42.000 And I was on her show a couple times.

01:46:44.000 And then she put the word into Joe and she said, You got to give Nick Fuentes a show.

01:46:49.000 This kid's great.

01:46:50.000 And he did.

01:46:51.000 And the rest is history.

01:46:52.000 The show is called America First.

01:46:54.000 It debuted just a few months later, February 7th, I think, 2017.

01:46:59.000 And the rest is history.

01:47:00.000 There it was on RSBN.

01:47:04.000 And then, you know, it goes on from there.

01:47:06.000 And then it's a long and storied career after that.

01:47:09.000 But yeah, that was five.

01:47:11.000 Can you believe it?

01:47:12.000 Five years ago.

01:47:17.000 And it feels like, you know, some people say, wow, that was five years ago.

01:47:22.000 Well, it feels like, it definitely feels like a hundred years ago, but yeah.

01:47:29.000 Yeah, those were good times.

01:47:30.000 Anyway, so I don't know if that's a real Zoomer, Dev, but thanks.

01:47:33.000 I appreciate that.

01:47:36.000 Arizona Doppelgrey versus Can't Wait for Winter so I can wear all 11 pieces of my AF merch in one outfit.

01:47:43.000 Yeah, gotta layer up.

01:47:45.000 Gotta get the AF layers going.

01:47:52.000 Call me Meta says, Let the record show that I have been called Meta since I started my RuneScape account in 2008. 0.99

01:47:59.000 Fuck Mark Zuckerberg. 1.00

01:48:02.000 Wow. 1.00

01:48:03.000 Arizona says, Web 3.0. 1.00

01:48:05.000 And finally, we can say nigga and faggot whenever we want. 1.00

01:48:09.000 What's Web 3? 1.00

01:48:10.000 I don't know what that is.

01:48:12.000 Beardson something says, Perhaps what sucks most about you being banned from Twitter is that you don't get to do nearly as many of your e drama rants about Twitter.

01:48:21.000 That you used to sometimes do after the announcements and before the stories.

01:48:25.000 Those were my favorite.

01:48:27.000 I know I miss it so much.

01:48:30.000 I miss Twitter.

01:48:32.000 I can't even tell you how much I miss it.

01:48:38.000 It's so miserable not being on there.

01:48:41.000 I need to post.

01:48:42.000 I need to post 280 character messages.

01:48:47.000 It's.

01:48:51.000 It's been one of the hardest things.

01:48:53.000 Being put on the no fly list has been really tough.

01:48:56.000 Having my money taken has been tough.

01:48:59.000 Losing friends.

01:49:01.000 I've lost a lot, and it's been hard.

01:49:03.000 But losing Twitter, that's the hardest thing.

01:49:05.000 That's the worst thing they ever did to me.

01:49:08.000 I would do anything to get it back.

01:49:10.000 I wouldn't do anything, but I would do a lot to get it back.

01:49:14.000 I mean, I would pay money.

01:49:16.000 I don't know who I got to call, but I want my Twitter back.

01:49:19.000 I want my followers back.

01:49:21.000 I want my check mark.

01:49:23.000 I want my Twitter account back. 0.99

01:49:25.000 Damn it. 0.99

01:49:25.000 I want my group chats. 0.99

01:49:27.000 I want my dopamine.

01:49:29.000 I want my content.

01:49:32.000 Oh, man.

01:49:35.000 What I would give to be back on Twitter.

01:49:38.000 That's like my element.

01:49:40.000 That's like taking a sailor off the seas.

01:49:45.000 It's like taking a canvas away from an artist, or better yet, his hands to paint.

01:49:57.000 It's the worst thing that ever happened to me, ever, in my whole life.

01:50:01.000 Worst thing, ever!

01:50:05.000 And I didn't even really react to it when it happened.

01:50:08.000 I didn't cry.

01:50:09.000 It didn't even really bother me at the time, but it just slowly sank in.

01:50:14.000 Despair, dread, misery.

01:50:20.000 I'll never forget it.

01:50:21.000 As long as I live, I'll never forget it.

01:50:24.000 That whole morning, I went in the shower.

01:50:29.000 I scroll up.

01:50:31.000 And then it's not scrolling up.

01:50:33.000 And I'm like, and I knew, and I knew.

01:50:37.000 And I go, is Twitter down right now?

01:50:39.000 I Google, is Twitter down right now?

01:50:41.000 And no, it's not.

01:50:42.000 And then I go to twitter.comslash Nick J. Fuentes, account suspended.

01:50:49.000 And then Jaden McNeil fist bumps me.

01:50:53.000 Fist bumps me.

01:50:54.000 I mean, my whole world just came caving in on itself.

01:50:58.000 My whole world comes crumbling down.

01:51:02.000 My empire of dust.

01:51:06.000 And Jaden says, Sorry about that, bro.

01:51:10.000 Fist pound me.

01:51:11.000 Hey, man, it's okay.

01:51:13.000 Fist bump.

01:51:14.000 Fist bump. 0.99

01:51:15.000 You get your fist out of my face. 1.00

01:51:18.000 I don't even want to look at you. 0.95

01:51:20.000 I don't even want to see you.

01:51:23.000 My Twitter account is gone, and you give me a paltry fist bump.

01:51:32.000 It's not his fault.

01:51:34.000 It's not his fault.

01:51:35.000 I mean, I shouldn't blame him.

01:51:36.000 I'm mad at Twitter.

01:51:38.000 I can't put the blame on him.

01:51:40.000 But yeah, I wanted to jump out the window. 0.98

01:51:42.000 I wanted to open up the window and fucking throw myself out. 0.98

01:51:46.000 No more. 0.99

01:51:48.000 No more Twitter.

01:51:49.000 No more mentions.

01:51:50.000 No more likes.

01:51:52.000 No more group chats.

01:51:54.000 No more messages.

01:51:56.000 No more block list.

01:51:58.000 No more check mark.

01:52:00.000 No more retweets.

01:52:03.000 Congratulations, Sarah.

01:52:03.000 No more.

01:52:04.000 You made it to Friday.

01:52:06.000 No more Twitter.

01:52:10.000 I can't.

01:52:11.000 I just can't, man.

01:52:13.000 It's not the same.

01:52:14.000 It's not the same.

01:52:15.000 It will never be the same.

01:52:16.000 I will never be the same.

01:52:18.000 I'm changed.

01:52:19.000 It's like seeing someone die in front of you.

01:52:22.000 You're not the same after that.

01:52:29.000 I will never get over it.

01:52:31.000 I will never, ever, ever get over it as long as I live.

01:52:39.000 I'll never overcome that.

01:52:41.000 I need it back.

01:52:42.000 Listen, I need it back.

01:52:44.000 I need my Twitter account back.

01:52:47.000 You got to give it back to me.

01:52:49.000 You have to give it back to me.

01:52:53.000 I mean, I've been able to go on without it, but I'm not happy about it.

01:52:56.000 It's like the ring in Lord of the Rings, you know?

01:53:01.000 What I would give to just tweet one more time.

01:53:05.000 What I would give to just get another 10,000 followers.

01:53:12.000 Now I'm with the rest of you.

01:53:13.000 I'm on Telegram.

01:53:16.000 And, ugh.

01:53:20.000 I have to lurk behind some anonymous account with no profile picture and no followers.

01:53:32.000 Oh my gosh.

01:53:34.000 Just. 1.00

01:53:37.000 Should have just killed me. 1.00

01:53:38.000 Should have just put me out of my misery. 0.99

01:53:43.000 Rather than take my Twitter, my tens of millions of impressions.

01:53:52.000 This is why I drink.

01:53:55.000 This is why I drink water.

01:53:58.000 But yeah, yeah, I do.

01:53:59.000 I miss it. 0.97

01:54:00.000 I remember people from high school used to shit talk to me, and I'd retweet them and it'd get a thousand likes, and they would just get totally blown out. 0.99

01:54:10.000 Ugh. 0.99

01:54:12.000 Name searching myself, blocking everybody to talk shit about me. 0.99

01:54:19.000 The ratio, the replies, the quote tweets. 0.99

01:54:27.000 Man.

01:54:28.000 Anyway, yeah, I know, I know, I know, not to keep going on and on about it, but I miss it too.

01:54:35.000 Worst day of my life, worst day of my life.

01:54:42.000 And then Optics Respector took me to the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to.

01:54:49.000 It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't good either. 0.97

01:54:54.000 Yeah, so that was quite the day.

01:54:57.000 And then my dad, my dad.

01:54:59.000 He was down there too. 0.60

01:55:00.000 This was during White Boy Summer. 0.87

01:55:02.000 And so we're driving to lunch.

01:55:06.000 Me, Jade, and my dad were going to meet Optics Spectrum, a few other people.

01:55:10.000 And I'm like, I'm trying to be courteous and polite because I'm driving and my dad's talking to me.

01:55:21.000 And I'm trying to be courteous and not be on my phone, even though I need to be.

01:55:26.000 I mean, I absolutely need to be because I just got banned from Twitter.

01:55:30.000 So my phone's blowing up.

01:55:31.000 People are texting me, calling me, you name it.

01:55:36.000 Every social media, everybody's blowing me up.

01:55:40.000 And so I'm being courteous and like not being on my phone.

01:55:43.000 I think it's impolite.

01:55:44.000 So I'm driving and my dad takes a phone call.

01:55:47.000 And I'm like, are you kidding me?

01:55:49.000 I just got banned from Twitter.

01:55:50.000 I'm not answering my phone to be courteous to you.

01:55:53.000 And then he picks up the phone.

01:55:54.000 He's like on a phone call the whole way while we're driving to the restaurant.

01:55:58.000 Such a typical, such a typical move.

01:56:02.000 He does that.

01:56:03.000 I don't get it. 0.93

01:56:04.000 He's a big fubber, you know, fubbing when you phone. 0.94

01:56:08.000 Snub somebody.

01:56:10.000 I never do that to my own detriment.

01:56:13.000 I hate taking out my phone when I'm with people, but my dad does that a lot.

01:56:18.000 And I don't get it because he used to be very strict about that.

01:56:21.000 No phones at the dinner table.

01:56:23.000 And now sometimes I'll be talking to him and he'll just take his phone out and start texting and then not hear what I'm saying.

01:56:29.000 And I'm like, okay, thank you.

01:56:32.000 So, yeah, that was awesome.

01:56:35.000 But, yeah, awful day.

01:56:37.000 The fish bump, the Mexican restaurant, my dad taking the call.

01:56:45.000 It never ends.

01:56:48.000 Plubly says, okay, hear me out.

01:56:49.000 I know you've had some issues.

01:56:51.000 Maybe it's time to reach out.

01:56:54.000 Owen Benjamin on Cozy TV.

01:56:57.000 Yeah, that's never going to happen.

01:56:58.000 You're very funny.

01:57:01.000 He says, he said many hurtful things, but maybe you guys could keep your distance.

01:57:05.000 I'm sure if you came to him and his guys and offered, he'd consider it.

01:57:09.000 What is the matter with you?

01:57:10.000 He said some hurtful things.

01:57:13.000 He said disgraceful things about my mom, about my dad, about my sister. 0.99

01:57:17.000 He said he would kill me. 1.00

01:57:19.000 He said he would kill my family. 1.00

01:57:21.000 I know he said some hurtful things. 1.00

01:57:23.000 Saying a hurtful thing is saying, like, you're not funny and you're gay and Jewish. 1.00

01:57:29.000 Saying, I'm going to kill you and your family and your dad's Jewish and your mom's this. 1.00

01:57:34.000 That's definitely crossing the line. 1.00

01:57:36.000 And he has his own platform.

01:57:37.000 He's on unauthorized with Vox Day.

01:57:41.000 So, you know.

01:57:44.000 I love it.

01:57:45.000 We need to start unifying.

01:57:46.000 It's always on me.

01:57:48.000 People can do stuff like that to me, but the onus is on me to unify. 0.61

01:57:53.000 Then the guy's insane. 0.98

01:57:55.000 Not only that, but the guy's insane.

01:57:59.000 So, I mean, why don't you leave the strategizing to me?

01:58:02.000 People always have the next best idea of what we need to do.

01:58:05.000 We need to start unifying.

01:58:07.000 Okay, go and live on his compound then. 0.99

01:58:09.000 Go and live on his fucking Bear Topia ranch. 0.99

01:58:12.000 You want to unify? 1.00

01:58:12.000 Okay? 1.00

01:58:13.000 Why don't you donate to Richard Spencer's legal fund and go to a pool party, TRS, and go live on the Bear Topia Jonestown compound.

01:58:22.000 Okay?

01:58:23.000 Unifier, okay, great unifier if you're so interested in that. 0.98

01:58:29.000 Ridiculous.

01:58:31.000 Dyson says Have you seen Year Million on Disney Plus? 0.84

01:58:35.000 It explores what it's like to be human a million years from now.

01:58:38.000 It's narrated by Morpheus.

01:58:40.000 It explores the evolution of the metaverse, uploading our consciousness to the cloud, living in a computer.

01:58:46.000 Pretty interesting if you want to see how far the rabbit hole goes.

01:58:49.000 No, I haven't seen that.

01:58:53.000 Blungus says, People say America isn't like the dictatorial third world.

01:58:58.000 Just look at the state of our populace.

01:59:00.000 This is a population of brutish consumers ruled by big tech, and it's coming to your area.

01:59:07.000 That's great.

01:59:08.000 Really, really fresh.

01:59:10.000 Baghdad Groyper says, When it comes to big tech, prepare for the worst.

01:59:29.000 Esoteric Drifter says, Don't know if you got the chance to check out the opening statements of Charlottesville trial, but have to wish those guys luck.

01:59:36.000 I don't.

01:59:37.000 Be interesting to see how the self representation works out.

01:59:40.000 Was wild.

01:59:41.000 Yeah, I listened to it for like 15 minutes.

01:59:45.000 I listened to Chris Cantwell's opening statement for like 15 minutes, and then I just couldn't take it anymore.

01:59:51.000 I was like, Why would I listen to this when I could be not listening to this?

01:59:54.000 Because this is awful.

01:59:57.000 I was like, Oh, wait a second.

01:59:59.000 I really don't want this or need this in my life. 0.98

02:00:01.000 Because that guy's insane. 0.98

02:00:03.000 He's another one. 1.00

02:00:06.000 Another off the gooper.

02:00:08.000 But yeah, I don't really feel too bad.

02:00:10.000 I mean, what's happening to them isn't fair.

02:00:13.000 I'm not saying it's fair, it's horrible.

02:00:15.000 But they would not be wishing me well if I were in the same situation.

02:00:21.000 So I don't wish them any luck. 0.99

02:00:23.000 Blue Ridge Groypers' White Pill. 0.99

02:00:39.000 Jack Blixby says, Let's be real.

02:00:41.000 All the real brave first responders in New York City died of asbestos poisoning and cancer five to nine years after 9 11 when the buildings owned by Larry Silverstein were blown up.

02:00:51.000 Christ is king.

02:00:54.000 Yeah, that's great. 0.60

02:00:59.000 General Cavy says, Nick, in regards to EMF, try looking at Lamb's clothing.

02:01:04.000 It has a Faraday cage lining.

02:01:07.000 Also, look up scientists Royal Rifle and Stanley Meyer.

02:01:10.000 They have made discoveries that were suppressed, and I believe their technology has been refit for evil purposes.

02:01:17.000 2D Stan's machine split H2O at the same frequency as 5G.

02:01:23.000 Rife's tech would kill Big Pharma.

02:01:38.000 Love the show. 1.00

02:01:39.000 It's a good idea.

02:01:41.000 Epic Guy says, You're like Darth Vader.

02:01:43.000 You have to be made constantly uncomfortable to be on top of your game.

02:01:46.000 You know, I love when I say things and then you repeat those things back to me.

02:01:51.000 That's really beneficial for everybody.

02:01:53.000 When I say something and everyone knows I say it and then you just repeat it back to me.

02:02:00.000 Oh, I'm like Darth Vader.

02:02:01.000 And yeah, I think I said that.

02:02:03.000 I think I've said that many times.

02:02:05.000 I think I've made that observation many times.

02:02:08.000 And I know that I did.

02:02:09.000 And you heard that from me.

02:02:11.000 And now you're repeating it back to me like it's your own observation. 0.99

02:02:14.000 I mean, what the fuck is that? 0.99

02:02:17.000 Desert Fox says, every show is a good show, Nick. 0.99

02:02:19.000 Thank you and Zoomer Dev for building a great platform.

02:02:22.000 It's a big white pill in an otherwise shitty year.

02:02:24.000 I agree.

02:02:25.000 Thanks.

02:02:26.000 Marsin also says, metaverse tech seems cool, but cannot be divorced from the context of further virus and climate lockdowns.

02:02:33.000 Stay home and see friends and family virtually.

02:02:36.000 Wish technology opened new frontiers instead of keeping people inside.

02:02:39.000 Thanks and God bless.

02:02:41.000 True.

02:02:43.000 Esoteric Drifters says, Citizens United was grassroots boomer right wingers trying to get their video on giant corporation streaming services that control the system.

02:02:51.000 Is so great the little guy was painted as a corporation.

02:02:56.000 Based Koobs's I'm with you on keeping the family together.

02:02:59.000 Family is everything. 1.00

02:03:00.000 Mexicans don't move out until they're married. 1.00

02:03:03.000 Yeah, same with Italians. 0.98

02:03:05.000 That's how it should be. 1.00

02:03:07.000 Olden Groyp versus went to your city, extremely based, no blacks in the downtown area compared to my own. 0.96

02:03:15.000 What is this? 0.80

02:03:16.000 AI's was decent, got pep.

02:03:18.000 Oh, Al's. 0.63

02:03:19.000 Al's.

02:03:20.000 Al's was decent, got peppers by mistake, so slightly underwhelming.

02:03:24.000 Decent.

02:03:26.000 Listen, Al's beef is phenomenal.

02:03:29.000 Al's beef, Portillo's.

02:03:31.000 The chains are very good. 1.00

02:03:34.000 I'm surprised you didn't see any blacks in downtown. 1.00

02:03:36.000 They seem to be all over the place lately. 1.00

02:03:40.000 But yeah, compared to other cities, maybe not so much.

02:03:43.000 There's not as many homeless in Chicago.

02:03:44.000 You would really be surprised.

02:03:47.000 Because you go to Boston, D.C., Miami, Tampa, L.A., Dallas, Austin, Houston.

02:03:54.000 You go to any Vegas, Denver.

02:03:57.000 There's homeless everywhere.

02:04:00.000 In like every major city.

02:04:02.000 But in Chicago, you really don't see that much of it.

02:04:06.000 They're under some bridges, but they're not like they are in D.C. In D.C., they're just hanging out everywhere and they're feral.

02:04:14.000 Not like Chicago.

02:04:16.000 Chicago, they're pretty rare, relatively speaking.

02:04:21.000 So it's a relatively clean city. 1.00

02:04:24.000 I'm surprised you didn't see a lot of blacks, though, like I said, because lately they've been downtown, wilding out. 1.00

02:04:31.000 But. 1.00

02:04:32.000 Yeah, I don't know what you mean.

02:04:35.000 Alice was underwhelming.

02:04:36.000 I don't know what you're talking about. 0.97

02:04:38.000 Ridiculous TV says, How do I deal with rejection from a girl? 0.93

02:04:42.000 I don't know. 0.77

02:04:42.000 That's never happened to me. 0.77

02:04:47.000 So it's a tough one.

02:04:49.000 It's a tough one.

02:04:50.000 You just got to.

02:04:53.000 I don't know.

02:04:53.000 You're asking the wrong person.

02:04:55.000 You're asking the wrong person.

02:04:58.000 I don't think I've ever. 0.93

02:04:59.000 Well, I asked a girl out a few times, and every time it worked. 0.57

02:05:04.000 So.

02:05:06.000 And by the way, before people say, yeah, I know, so by the way, whatever, it's like happened twice, okay?

02:05:14.000 The delegate dance, a couple of times for prom, and then one other time, okay?

02:05:21.000 One other time, and that was it.

02:05:25.000 And yeah, and in every case, they were like, sure.

02:05:29.000 It didn't go super well any of the times because I was very uncomfortable.

02:05:33.000 I was very like,.

02:05:36.000 Embarrassed, kind of mortified. 1.00

02:05:38.000 Not mortified because it's like, oh no, it's a girl. 1.00

02:05:41.000 It was more like, I'm embarrassed that I'm a part of this.

02:05:44.000 I'm embarrassed that I'm party to this display.

02:05:50.000 I remember the delegate day.

02:05:52.000 I'm not even going to get into that.

02:05:53.000 But I was just like, I was mortified.

02:05:57.000 And same with all the other times.

02:05:58.000 So, anyway, so I don't know.

02:06:02.000 I don't know.

02:06:03.000 I mean, I've experienced the sort of unrequited crush or affection or something.

02:06:10.000 But honestly, you just got to get over it.

02:06:14.000 I know that's not great advice, but.

02:06:16.000 There's no, with a lot of things, there's no secret, there's no life hack.

02:06:20.000 You just, you know, you just have to cope with it.

02:06:22.000 You just have to find ways to cope.

02:06:24.000 So just don't think about it.

02:06:26.000 Literally, just don't think about it.

02:06:28.000 There are a lot of things in this life that you just can't think about.

02:06:32.000 Because if you did, you would be miserable and paralyzed and unable to go on.

02:06:37.000 So there are some things in life you just can't dwell too much on, or, you know, you will not, you're going to be dysfunctional.

02:06:44.000 So I would just try to distract yourself, throw yourself into your work, do something else.

02:06:51.000 Because things like that, whoops, they feel bad.

02:06:55.000 And if you dwell too much, if you fall into this sort of negative feedback loop, this kind of bad pattern of thinking, it's inescapable.

02:07:04.000 And it reinforces negativity, it reinforces dysfunctional behaviors.

02:07:10.000 It's not good.

02:07:10.000 And all you have to do is just literally just stop thinking about it.

02:07:16.000 Just out of sight, out of mind, look the other way.

02:07:18.000 Just try your best to distract yourself with something else.

02:07:21.000 Maybe ask another girl out or you go to work, do something else.

02:07:25.000 You've got to take your mind off it because the more you think about it, it's just going to feel bad.

02:07:30.000 It's just going to feel bad.

02:07:31.000 And it could go on for a long time.

02:07:33.000 So, Tyler Venturas, is your monologue just now on family and the importance of community is what makes your show one of a kind?

02:07:40.000 I have many friends trying to recreate the college experience long after it's over.

02:07:44.000 It isn't good for them financially or spiritually.

02:07:47.000 And it just doesn't even work.

02:07:49.000 It's a cope.

02:07:51.000 Everybody knows that.

02:07:51.000 It's all masking.

02:07:53.000 So, it's not good in any way.

02:07:57.000 Beardson says, I think whether you should live with your parents depends on how you and your parents are.

02:08:01.000 For me, it's difficult to live with them because I always feel pressured and overcared for as if I am a child.

02:08:07.000 For you, it might be different because you just have a different relationship with your parents.

02:08:12.000 Yeah, I agree, because some parents, you know, there's a lot of dysfunction.

02:08:17.000 DB Network says, Hey, Nikki, it's me, Joe the Boomer.

02:08:19.000 When we understand that the marital act is a sacred thing shared between a husband and wife, united through God, it becomes very clear that premarital fornication is a satanic sacrament and an affront against God the Father. 0.79

02:08:31.000 Very true.

02:08:32.000 And that's what the devil does he inverts things that are holy.

02:08:37.000 And I've noticed that even in my life.

02:08:39.000 There are things that are like there's parallels.

02:08:44.000 And you notice this in your life.

02:08:45.000 You don't have to think very hard, but that's what the devil does he inverts, he takes things that are biblical, takes things that are sacramental, and he inverts them and twists them, like you said.

02:09:00.000 And you get the sort of evil inverse of what you're told to do in the Bible.

02:09:05.000 The world is full of things like this.

02:09:07.000 So that's what the devil does.

02:09:09.000 Very, very important to be cognizant of that.

02:09:12.000 Beardson says If anything, my parents are more liberal than I am on personal things.

02:09:16.000 My dad thinks I should have sex before marriage and that I'm limiting myself by trying to find a girl in the church.

02:09:22.000 Yeah, in that case, that's not good, you know? 1.00

02:09:25.000 So you're right.

02:09:25.000 I mean, again, all this goes without saying that in the modern day, it's not what it used to be.

02:09:34.000 So. 1.00

02:09:35.000 What I mean to say is, Gen X boomers, they may not have your best interests in mind because they grew up very corrupt. 1.00

02:09:41.000 Monkey Respector says, Hey, Nick, what you described with multi generational households is exactly what I'm doing. 1.00

02:09:47.000 That's so interesting.

02:09:47.000 Oh, really?

02:09:49.000 I've been living with my parents for three years since getting a decent job after school.

02:09:52.000 I've been saving all my money, investing in crypto, and soon hope to buy a home.

02:09:55.000 Better than being alone and broke.

02:10:01.000 Congratulations.

02:10:02.000 Tyler says, Moving back home with my parents after college was an adjustment.

02:10:07.000 I now see it as beneficial for me in many ways.

02:10:09.000 I'm not sure why ditching your family for a cubicle in the city that drives you into debt is seen as independence.

02:10:14.000 Yeah, it's great.

02:10:15.000 And Morton Trump says today overheard a customer discussing with one of my employees that she's so accustomed to wearing a mask that she now feels dirty and gross being out in public without one.

02:10:25.000 Really made me think of how sad it is that so many people have a similar psychosis for the rest of their lives until the TV tells them they don't need the mask anymore.

02:10:32.000 Yeah, do you feel that way?

02:10:35.000 Thanks for the super chat.

02:10:36.000 That's so true.

02:11:50.000 Honestly, got me thinking and looking towards getting an online degree instead of moving out next semester.

02:11:55.000 There you go.

02:11:56.000 Overman says, I found out about you last year, so I tried Googling articles about you.

02:12:02.000 And I stumbled across this Vice article written by Will Nardi where he explains the origin story.

02:12:06.000 Nick Flunces, that article becomes sacred in the future.

02:12:09.000 I don't know about sacred, but yeah, it'll be something.

02:12:12.000 Tyler says, exact quote from the Vice article about.

02:12:16.000 The night from Will Nardi.

02:12:45.000 Yeah.

02:12:53.000 I don't think you suggested otherwise, but whatever, bro.

02:12:59.000 I remember it too.

02:13:00.000 I remember it well.

02:13:01.000 I remember we had to walk around the whole restaurant in the rain because we parked behind and we had to walk on those stones across the patio.

02:13:11.000 And I remember everything about it.

02:14:16.000 I do.

02:14:19.000 I didn't trust him at first.

02:14:21.000 I still don't really trust him, honestly.

02:14:23.000 But I think he is trustworthy.

02:14:25.000 But I don't trust anybody.

02:14:28.000 But he's a brilliant guy, and, you know, I think that his conversion is sincere.

02:14:33.000 I mean, he's always been Catholic, but I think his, you know, coming to practice the faith, I think that's sincere to the extent that I can see.

02:14:42.000 So, yeah, I do like him.

02:14:44.000 I think he's sincere.

02:14:46.000 He's the flawed person, as we all are, but, you know, he really surprised me because I've known him for a couple of years now, and I was very, very skeptical and very hesitant at first.

02:15:28.000 I just think it's really funny that there's someone actually named Beardson.
