00:00:29.000O hear the angel voices, O night divine.
00:00:40.000O night when Christ was born O night O holy night O night divine!
00:01:05.000So let my light of the stars sweetly gleaming, Here came the wise men from Orientland.
00:01:21.000The King of kings laid us divine, Oh, Hear the angel voices,
00:01:48.000O night divine, O night when Christ was born.
00:02:00.000O night, O holy night, O night divine.
00:02:22.000Silver bells, silver bells, silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city.
00:02:34.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.
00:02:51.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:02:56.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:04:35.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:04:39.000We're being slowly poisoned and in some cases quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:04:46.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:04:53.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:05:01.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:05:04.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God And to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:05:18.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:05:21.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:05:26.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:05:32.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:05:36.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:05:42.000I want to be a dictator. - And you know why I want to be a dictator?
00:06:17.000I want a wall and I want to drill, drill, drill.
00:06:20.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden glooming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:06:37.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:06:52.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:07:02.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty, and of course defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:07:32.000America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.
00:07:44.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
00:18:59.000Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.
00:25:22.000My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs My love has got no power, he's got his strong beliefs My love has got no fame, he's got his strong beliefs My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs Want more and more, people just want more and more Freedom and love, what he's looking for Want more and more
00:25:52.000People just want more and more Freedom and love, what he's looking for Free from desire My ancestors purified Free from desire
00:26:11.000The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead. the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.
00:32:18.000The first novel, the angels did say, Was to certain poor shepherds In fields as they lay In fields where they lay They were keeping their sheep On
00:32:48.000a cold winter's night That was so deep Born is the King of Israel.
00:33:18.000The shepherds looked up and they saw a bright star.
00:33:29.000Shining there in the east, beyond and far.
00:33:39.000And to the dark and dark it gave a great light.
00:33:49.000And so it continued through day and through night.
00:34:48.000I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play And mild and sweet their songs repeat Of peace on earth, goodwill to me And the bells are ringing.
00:35:40.000And in despair I bowed my There is no peace on earth, I said For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth,
00:36:02.000good will to men But the bells ring in Like a choir singing The
00:37:13.000world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chance of life A peace on earth, goodwill to men And the best they'll ring in Like a choir that's the end You
00:37:59.000hear the bells every year Like the angels singin' He's
00:38:43.000All in love, good will to men Silver Bells, Silver Bells, Silver Bells Silver Bells It's Christmas time in the city.
00:40:54.000Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
00:46:19.000Can I just say, are you trusting Brian Adams?
00:46:23.000Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
00:46:47.000The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.
00:46:58.000The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.
00:47:03.000For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interest, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind.
00:47:13.000Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven't seen before.
00:47:21.000This is not simply another four-year election.
00:47:24.000This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government.
00:47:37.000The political establishment That is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration, and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
00:47:56.000The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world.
00:48:07.000It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
00:48:24.000This is a struggle for the survival of our nation, and this will be our last chance to save it.
00:48:33.000This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system, and our system is rigged.
00:54:45.000It's been a long year and a lot has happened.
00:54:49.000We're going to be going over everything and the biggest stories of the year and give my outlook on next year, sort of a tradition on the show.
00:55:02.000I was going through my channel over the last year, looking at all the big stories, and And I did a show at the beginning of this year, I think.
00:55:14.000It was either end of last year, beginning of this year.
00:55:21.000So tonight we're going to go back and talk about everything that happened in 2024 and forecast and give an outlook for 2025. So it's going to be a good show today.
00:58:25.000We'll get into the big news that everybody's talking about.
00:58:29.000Which is on my last show that I did on Wednesday.
00:58:33.000During the show, during the Super Chats, somebody came to the studio with a gun and a crossbow and gasoline to kill me and burn my house down.
00:58:50.000And yes, it happened in the middle of the show.
00:58:54.000I was reading the Super Chats, and you might have seen it.
00:58:58.000I retweeted the clip on my Twitter, but as I was working through the Super Chats, I saw on my security camera that someone was outside with a gun.
00:59:10.000And I tried my best to keep my composure.
00:59:13.000I didn't read every Super Chat, but I got to almost all of them.
00:59:17.000And I tried to wrap up my show as quickly as possible to figure out what I was going to do.
00:59:42.000He called the police when he saw the guy.
00:59:44.000Cops showed up very quickly, within a couple of minutes.
00:59:48.000And I was actually getting ready to go outside and meet with the police to give a statement and help them create a report about what happened.
00:59:59.000And while I was getting changed, I was changing into a sweatshirt and a jacket to go outside.
01:00:43.000We came out with a report the following morning and we learned that the person who showed up to my house had already committed a triple homicide in southern Illinois.
01:02:10.000We haven't uncovered any social media.
01:02:13.000We can only presume he parked his car outside my house, walked to my front door, called my name, ran around my house a few times with a pistol drawn, not leaving too much to the imagination.
01:02:27.000He was probably here with the intention of Killing me, adding me to the list.
01:02:33.000I would imagine it's politically motivated, but who knows?
01:02:37.000Many people have pointed out, and I think this makes sense, this appears to be a Luigi Mangione copycat.
01:02:45.000And I'm not the first person to say this.
01:02:48.000Tim Pool said that and other people said it as well.
01:02:51.000But he showed up to my place with a motorcycle helmet on and a backpack and a jacket and crossbow.
01:03:01.000And initially I thought, why a motorcycle helmet?
01:03:05.000And then I thought, maybe that's part of the costume.
01:03:41.000There's been a lot of shenanigans going on around here ever since I got doxed, ever since the election, and we'll get into that when we go over our year in review.
01:03:51.000But I've had a lot of weird stuff going on here, so this is really just the latest in a long story.
01:04:28.000People miss that detail, maybe deliberately.
01:04:32.000So I appreciate everybody that contributed money and people that have been sending me messages and trying to help me with this legal case I'm trying to build and other things.
01:04:42.000I really appreciate the outpouring of support.
01:04:45.000It's nice to know people care about me and that I'm alive, but I am, and so the show must go on.
01:04:53.000One other thing though, so I covered most of this.
01:04:56.000I did a Twitter space on Saturday, I think it was.
01:05:03.000So I did a Twitter space on, it was either Friday or Saturday, and I gave all the details about the whole situation.
01:05:51.000And I think we all know why the media refuses to, A, cover it, or B, talk about the fact that I was targeted.
01:06:00.000And that obvious reason is because I am the victim in this situation.
01:06:07.000And this is a crime that could not and would not have been committed or conspired to be committed if I had not been doxed.
01:06:20.000And if that had not been amplified and made the punchline of a joke by the media and social media for two months, I suppose about a month and a half.
01:06:33.000And for that reason, now that the media has made me the villain of a story about the election and something I tweeted during the election— I mean, they really have incited violence against me by amplifying pictures and pictures of my residents, personal information, but also downplaying and making light of threats made against me.
01:07:31.000I was debating whether I would post the security camera footage of it, but I figured the media is scrubbing any mention of me from the story.
01:07:42.000So I posted the videos right away, and people said, oh, well, this guy, and understand, he was in southern Illinois two hours away.
01:07:52.000like, I don't know how many miles, maybe 100, 200 miles away, whatever.
01:07:56.000This guy was in a completely different part of the state, and he didn't live in this neighborhood.
01:08:02.000He lived, we don't know where he lived.
01:08:09.000I saw people on social media saying first, well, that wasn't the same guy.
01:08:17.000They said the guy outside my house with the gun and the motorcycle helmet wasn't the same guy from the triple homicide.
01:08:24.000Then they said, OK, well, it is the guy, but he was trying different houses running from police, and mine coincidentally was one of them.
01:08:36.000Then, when I posted the video of him calling my name, they said, well, he found the name by going through my mail.
01:08:44.000Then, when I posted the videos of him going around the whole house and flipping off the camera and so on, they said, well, I staged the video.
01:08:54.000And now finally that I put all the evidence out there of the police there reading his name from the checkbook that they recovered from his backpack, which he discarded in my yard, and then shooting him in the alley, well, now they just refuse to acknowledge that he was here to kill me.
01:09:11.000Now they're just ignoring it entirely.
01:09:14.000So that's the part that I'm furious about.
01:09:32.000It's tragic that he came here and put people in danger.
01:09:35.000There's families that live here in this neighborhood.
01:09:38.000It's a very sad story all the way around.
01:09:45.000At the same time, there's a reason for this, and I'll give you two reasons right here.
01:09:51.000One, people posted and amplified my docs and made light of it.
01:09:57.000Two, people have been glorifying another killer for about a month.
01:10:03.000People have been heaping praise and, I would argue, idolizing and hero-worshiping An assassin in Manhattan who killed the healthcare CEO. And I said when that happened, vindicated on this.
01:10:56.000And I imagine that is not completely unrelated to, you know, what maybe would have been just a regular killing or maybe it wouldn't have happened anyway.
01:11:06.000But certainly him arriving at my door in this costume had a lot to do with that.
01:11:12.000So that is why this is obviously operative.
01:11:42.000And he was here to kill me arguably as a form of terrorism, as a political assassination.
01:11:48.000And this should be the biggest story in the country right now if for no other reason than that this is about escalating political violence in the country.
01:11:58.000And for obvious reasons, the media doesn't want to talk about it.
01:12:02.000The right wing has no sympathy for me.
01:12:13.000We have fortunately, thanks to you guys, been able to raise a considerable amount of money since this has happened.
01:12:21.000It is going to go to my security, and as I said on Twitter, and I mean this, I'm going to be pursuing legal options to go after the people that doxed me.
01:12:34.000Fortunately, there was a statute passed actually just this year in January, which makes doxing a civil liability.
01:12:43.000You can be pursued for damages in a civil court.
01:12:48.000But if somebody doxes you, and they don't even have to be in Illinois, they just have to dox somebody in Illinois.
01:12:55.000And I think this needs to be like a landmark situation, right?
01:13:02.000Because the way things are going with drones, AI, political radicalism, the kinds of things we're seeing with all these different wars on every continent, this is going to be a big problem if public figures are going to be doxed.
01:13:17.000And the reason that we all know why people are being doxed, it is a form of intimidation.
01:13:28.000This is a form of soft political repression.
01:13:37.000I said this on my Twitter space and I want to bring it back to this and then it's actually a perfect segue into the year in review because I don't want to spend the whole show talking about what happened last week.
01:13:55.000I'm not a regular Berwyn resident where someone coincidentally landed here.
01:14:01.000I'm a high-profile political figure who was doxed for a post that I made.
01:14:07.000This was amplified and I was attacked.
01:14:10.000It was hosted on Twitter until last week.
01:14:15.000Until someone had to show up with a gun before they took it seriously.
01:14:20.000Now it's being swept under the rug and nobody's talking about it because of the kind of political person that I am.
01:14:27.000And what kind of political person am I? Well, I'm not just any Berwyn resident and I'm not just any political streamer or political figure or even for that matter any right winger.
01:14:42.000I am probably the biggest independent political live streamer in the country that is a nationalist that is talking about the subversion of our country by foreign governments and foreign intelligence.
01:15:05.000You know that if someone like Mike Benz or Ashley Sinclair or Ben Shapiro, if one of them were doxxed on Twitter and they're all friends with Elon Musk...
01:15:21.000X would not allow their private residents to get 16 million views on a single post before it was taken down.
01:15:31.000Like X allowed for that to happen to me.
01:15:36.000The reason I bring that up, and I like Ashley.
01:15:43.000The reason I bring that up is to demonstrate that there is...
01:15:48.000An element of negligence here, of intentional negligence, and it is not completely independent from what I just described, which is what makes me distinct and unique from other right-wingers.
01:16:03.000Why is it that I am singled out, targeted, and the right wing does not circle the wagons?
01:16:32.000In an indirect way, they support the type of lynch mob activity that has been directed against me, not just since November, but for as long as I've been doing this for the past eight years.
01:16:49.000That is coming from the left, obviously.
01:16:51.000It's also coming from the right, and it's been going on for as long as I've been doing this.
01:16:57.000And that exists, again, it is intentional and it is a soft form of political repression, which is to say that as long as you color inside the lines, as long as you support Israel, as long as you support some form of multiracialism, some form of feminism, as long as you support the stuff that everybody else supports, they have your back.
01:17:27.000And you are insulated from the worst of it.
01:17:30.000But if you're somebody like myself, and you dare to step outside the lines on a few key issues, which you know very well, well then all of a sudden those protections, those civil rights, access to banking services or platforms, the industry itself, all of a sudden is gone.
01:17:55.000And so that makes this, this is in a sense, a civil rights issue.
01:18:02.000If I am not allowed to express myself politically without a lynch mob showing up to my front door to kill me, then we don't have civil rights.
01:18:36.000I speak on the show and the subject matter is politics.
01:18:40.000And if someone like myself can't talk about politics without being debanked, without being doxed, and the dox hosted on Twitter and receiving millions of views...
01:18:51.000And the media lying about me and vilifying me and ultimately culminating in this final act, which is someone showing up to kill me and them sweeping it under the rug because they prefer that they succeed in doing this.
01:19:10.000If I can't talk without all of that happening, then nobody has free speech.
01:19:17.000I'm just the person that took it all the way.
01:19:21.000I'm just the person that says the most inconvenient things all of the time.
01:19:29.000I'm the one who says those things in spite of every sanction, every form of ostracism, every penalty, every form of punishment.
01:19:42.000And I've done it in spite of all of that.
01:19:47.000On that train, the final destination is what you saw last week, is somebody showing up and trying to kill me, and the media sweeping it under the rug.
01:20:00.000Because they want that person to succeed.
01:20:37.000Mark Andreessen, who is the co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm in Silicon Valley, he's been highly engaged in the Trump campaign and he's been making the rounds talking about the election.
01:21:08.000I was banned from PayPal in 2017 or 2018. And I know people like Joe Biggs and Lauren Witzke and others who were debanked for about as long as that.
01:21:20.000It used to be the case that you were debanked for being a white nationalist or for being called one by Media Matters or by the ADL. Well, now Mark Andreessen, who is a super rich Silicon Valley venture capitalist, he goes on Joe Rogan to talk about debanking and he's complaining about crypto gambling.
01:21:44.000He's complaining that weed dispensaries and crypto gambling startups, they are the victims of debanking.
01:21:54.000And similarly, on the X platform, now Elon Musk is talking about free speech with an important corollary.
01:22:03.000He says free speech is not freedom of reach.
01:22:06.000Everyone should have free speech, but not everybody gets to reach tens of millions of people on the timeline.
01:22:15.000They will be negatively affected by the algorithm.
01:22:20.000And what I'm getting at here is it seems almost like there is this fake victory that people are talking about.
01:22:37.000Venture capitalists are interested in reversing the debanking that has occurred.
01:22:43.000But If you have freedom of speech but no freedom of reach, you actually don't have freedom of speech.
01:22:51.000And it turns out that it doesn't matter if crypto gambling, if you could do rug pulls on shit coins, it doesn't matter if those people are debanked.
01:22:59.000It matters if political extremists are debanked.
01:23:03.000And ultimately, the victory is not about common sense conservatism, which is what this new Trump election represents.
01:23:11.000It's about a true political alternative.
01:23:16.000Is that not what civil rights are for?
01:23:18.000Is free speech and civil rights are democratic process?
01:23:23.000Is it not for a true political alternative rather than retrenching the mainstream in a different form?
01:23:33.000So this is a very important concept that people need to understand, which is they are very interested in convincing you that our problems have been solved, but they haven't.
01:23:57.000If 90% of Republicans, which are for our purposes here, half the country, I don't know what maybe 30% of the country identifies as conservative or Republican, but if 90% of the right wing half of the country. but if 90% of the right wing half of the the opposition believes the elections are rigged, that means they reject the legitimacy of the government.
01:24:23.000That means they reject the authority of the state to rule.
01:24:29.000For example, it's a big problem if the National Guard or the military is comprised of people that are inclined to be more politically conservative or vote Republican, and they don't believe that the elections have any integrity.
01:24:47.000It's a problem if law enforcement or elected officials don't believe that.
01:24:53.000It's a problem if 70 million people believe that.
01:24:58.000Because if 70 million people, including a number of police officers, including a number of the military, if they believe that the Constitution is not being honored and therefore the government has forfeited its legitimacy, that destabilizes the entire country.
01:25:15.000And it actually compromises the state.
01:25:18.000It compromises the state's ability to rule.
01:25:22.000And that is why for the past four years, there has been a compromise between the system and the Trump movement.
01:25:31.000And you saw it in November, which is that if they allow Trump to win, then everybody comes right back onto the plantation.
01:25:42.000Everybody willingly gets right back onto the hamster wheel because if Trump can win, then it means the elections are fair.
01:25:52.000And if the elections are fair, then the government is legitimate.
01:25:57.000And if the government is legitimate, then we should only...
01:26:02.000Be preoccupied with voting and electioneering and campaigning.
01:26:07.000And we should be participating in the systems rather than trying to build new ones.
01:26:16.000That is what has been taking place over the past four years.
01:26:21.000And that is why they've been so interested in convincing you that there was some great big victory.
01:26:26.000But as long as people like myself, for example, on Twitter, I'm deprived of a checkmark on Twitter.
01:26:36.000As long as people like me are banned on YouTube and by proxy, you know, Candace Owens says she can't interview me anywhere, anytime because I'm banned on YouTube.
01:26:45.000And if I were on her show, her show would get banned.
01:26:49.000And as long as people like me, through censorship, through algorithmic de-boosting, as long as people like me are gatekept from even the potential, even the opportunity of reaching a massive or a mainstream audience, then it's not quite as free as it might appear to be on the outside.
01:27:15.000And as long as anybody who represents a genuine alternative is subject to the same sort of rules, then there hasn't been some great political revolution or triumph.
01:27:56.000You all see what I'm talking about, which is that...
01:28:00.000While there is an outside appearance, while there is apparently a victory for the people or the populace or something like that taking place, in many ways the rules don't seem to have changed at all.
01:28:17.000And when I get a bank account back and when I am freed from the algorithmic manipulation and when I am entitled to the same protections from being doxxed or from being attacked at my home as everybody else, well, then I am the benchmark.
01:28:37.000Until that point, I don't think anything has materially changed.
01:28:40.000I think things are getting better, but I don't think they've materially changed.
01:28:45.000So anyway, that's the significance of what has been going on, and it's very important to lay all of that out because it would be easy to turn this into a victim narrative and say, oh, boo-hoo, the left is really mean.
01:28:59.000I mean, look— Politics is a deadly game.
01:29:55.000So, just like when I got banned on the social platforms, I had to make my own platform.
01:30:01.000Just like when I got put on the no-fly list and had my funds frozen, I had to lawyer up and do what I had to do there.
01:30:09.000Just like when there's people doxing me and people coming here with a gun outside my house, we have to meet that challenge as well.
01:30:16.000This is an always escalating challenge.
01:30:19.000Always increasing, never-ending battle, ultimately until we either win the victory or I die trying.
01:30:30.000And that is the brutal truth about all of this.
01:30:36.000As long as I am pushing a genuine radicalism, as long as I am pushing a genuine alternative, as long as I am a challenger, they consider me a mortal enemy.
01:31:49.000Ideas don't create companies and media and arguments and things like that.
01:31:56.000As long as people are the vessels for ideas, well, then we have to play politics and that involves the personalities and the particular circumstances of the people in it.
01:32:20.000A struggle for power and about whether we're going to have American sovereignty.
01:32:24.000It doesn't come without a cost because there are interested parties.
01:32:29.000There are people that want to control us.
01:32:32.000There are people that want to control our country.
01:32:34.000And as long as we want to free ourselves and retake our sovereignty, they're going to have a problem with that.
01:32:43.000And that's where all the details come in.
01:32:46.000That's where all of the drama and all the other stuff, the petty stuff and the little arguments and the gossip and all this other stuff comes in, the reputational slander, the attacks, the silencing, the legal crap, all that tedium.
01:33:03.000It's the equivalent of logistics in a war.
01:33:08.000So, I just hope everybody understands that that is what we're dealing with.
01:33:13.000But anyway, like I said, I don't want to spend the whole show talking about that, but it is a little reality check about what we're really here, what we really represent today.
01:33:25.000I want to get into our year in review for 2024. We'll talk a little bit about what we can expect coming in 2025. And I want to break it down.
01:33:36.000We're going to talk about the big news stories of 2024. I also want to talk about me and this show in 2024 and the America First movement.
01:33:47.000And then we'll talk about So first, I want to talk a little bit about the America First movement in this year.
01:35:13.000Off of DLive, I had to actually build one because no other one existed at the time.
01:35:18.000I had to find a way to make money since I was banned from all payment processors, virtually made $0 for 18 months, 2 years.
01:35:30.000And I had to remedy the problems that I was getting from the federal government.
01:35:34.000I had to get my assets back and I had to get the ability to fly.
01:35:38.000I was totally hamstringing my ability to do this show and to orchestrate this entire movement.
01:35:45.000And I would say that 2024, in retrospect, this was the year that, due to circumstances changing politically and But also just due to perseverance, we overcame almost all of those obstacles finally.
01:36:04.000But I was always aware and extremely conscious of that.
01:36:09.000We really had a chapter of this show and of this movement from 2017 until 2021 when we faced incidental censorship, political pressure, things like that.
01:36:24.000But we're able to find pockets and find ways to thrive in spite of them.
01:36:30.000After January 6th in 2021, we were nuked.
01:37:23.000Not only did I get unbanned on Twitter, but I gained, I think the count now is 330,000 followers in seven months, which not everybody can do.
01:38:57.000We had a lot of big collaborations with Cheezer, Aiden Ross, Andrew and Tristan Tate, and a lot of other big collaborations actually are still planned for 2025. I would have done a little bit more traveling this year, but I was pretty locked in for the election.
01:39:16.000We had some other issues this year, as you know.
01:39:23.000But you know, that is part of what I've been telling you for the past 45 minutes.
01:39:29.000The bigger that we are, the more that we grow, the more opposition that we face.
01:39:34.000And this year has been filled with a lot of crap like that.
01:39:39.000We sold 2,000 tickets for AFPAC 4. It's going to be our biggest, most exciting conference ever.
01:39:46.000And they lock the doors for the venue the night before it's supposed to happen.
01:39:51.000I mean, that's just like bullshit, you know?
01:39:54.000That just shouldn't be allowed to happen, but...
01:39:58.000As you know, we're engaged in litigation with them to get our money back, and more on that when we get into our outlook for 2025. That was really the big hiccup, I would say, of 2024. Last year when we did our Christmas stream, I promised you a studio, a documentary, AFPAC 4. Studio we have.
01:42:02.000We're going to have to kind of get back into a different mode.
01:42:05.000And I would say, maybe a little preview before we get into some of the news and then 2025...
01:42:14.000There was a particular way that we were doing things in that first chapter of this show from 2017 to 2021 when we had access to the platforms.
01:42:29.000There was a word we used to throw around.
01:42:32.000We used to talk about optics, things like that.
01:42:36.000Then when we got shut down, it was a different ballgame.
01:42:40.000When you're in the underground, when you're on Telegram, cozy, when you're really forced to make things happen with your back against the wall like that, it is a different set of rules.
01:42:52.000We certainly leaned into some different themes and we embraced being the shadow.
01:42:59.000We embraced being the underground because we were.
01:43:06.000Rebel group against the Biden administration.
01:43:11.000Now that Trump is back in office, now that the political climate is starting to thaw, Twitter has been liberalized, social media seems to be turning a corner.
01:43:21.000Now I think we once again are playing a game that is more similar to the one that we were playing in the first four years of the show.
01:43:58.000Being in the opposition, and not only the opposition, but the underground bunker opposition.
01:44:04.000It's a different ballgame than being out there in the sunlight.
01:44:07.000They say sunlight's the best disinfectant.
01:44:10.000It's like, okay, well, our eyes have to adjust.
01:44:12.000We've been in a fallout shelter being shelled by enemy forces for what feels like a thousand years with vaccine mandates and the DOJ breathing down our necks and capital riders being arrested and things like that.
01:44:29.000So you got to give us a minute to get ourselves decent.
01:45:10.000And in hindsight, in retrospect, and I think I predicted this at the time too, 2024 was effectively predetermined ever since October 7th, 2023. At the tail end of 2023, you had the unprecedented surprise attack on Israel by Hamas, which changed the world.
01:45:34.000And in doing so, it changed the United States.
01:45:39.000As you know, the United States is controlled as a matter of fact and not opinion or conspiracy theory by a Jewish oligarchy.
01:45:50.000And we can quibble about the percentages and relative influence of various factions, but certainly it goes without saying that that is one of the primary elements at the elite level of American society.
01:46:10.000And what happened on October 7th not only irreversibly altered the state of Israel and the region, but it cast a long shadow on the United States and in particular our politics.
01:46:22.000And that has everything to do with the fact that the people most affected by the October 7th attack were the Jewish people.
01:46:32.000As it happens, since we have a Jewish elite, the American elite were deeply affected by what they saw.
01:46:40.000And so a major political realignment occurred at the tail end of 2023, which defined 2024. And the way the conflict has played out in the Middle East has deeply affected the way the election played out in the United States and all of the particular events in the election.
01:47:33.000And seems unthinkable ever since the debate or the assassination attempt.
01:47:38.000Not only were people running, but very high-level people, donors, influencers, Republican Party officials, believed that it was actually competitive.
01:47:50.000That Trump might not have been the nominee.
01:47:58.000who in this cycle gave nearly $300 million to Donald Trump, was actually a host for Ron DeSantis' presidential candidacy announcement on Twitter spaces last year.
01:48:13.000And he was not only hosting Ron DeSantis, but co-hosting with David Sachs, who has also emerged as a major donor and booster for Donald Trump and was recently named as the czar in the White House for AI and cryptocurrency.
01:48:33.000It's important to consider that this election, which was determined in large part by a new oligarchy, by a new Silicon Valley elite, made up not of Mark Zuckerberg and Reid Hoffman made up not of Mark Zuckerberg and Reid Hoffman and others,
01:48:54.000but of little tech, of venture capitalists, of people like Palmer Luckey and Jacob Helberg and Elon Musk.
01:49:04.000But people that historically we don't actually consider as a part of the FANG companies or the usual suspects in big tech, they were always going to be the determinative factor in the election, which they turned out to be.
01:49:21.000What is critical, though, is that last year, when they began to intervene in the election, they were not Trump loyalists.
01:49:31.000They were not necessarily even ideologically aligned with Trump.
01:49:37.000As a matter of fact, it was maybe the opposite.
01:49:41.000The little tech oligarchs who determined the course of this election, who were always going to determine the course of this election.
01:49:50.000As a matter of fact, a year ago, they were supporting Trump's biggest challenger.
01:50:03.000And they were more ideologically aligned with him than they are or ever were with Trump.
01:50:11.000And this was true going into this year.
01:50:16.000Going into 2024, I'll remind you, in January 2024, the Republicans had an Iowa caucus.
01:50:25.000And there were expectations that Ron DeSantis might win.
01:50:30.000There were expectations that Nikki Haley might win the New Hampshire primary, which took place a couple of weeks later.
01:50:40.000There were expectations that even if she hadn't won in New Hampshire, she might win in South Carolina.
01:50:46.000These were not the expectations of people like us.
01:50:49.000We knew Trump was going to win, and I supported Trump at that point, over DeSantis, certainly, and absolutely over Haley.
01:50:59.000The people that expected or wanted DeSantis or Haley to win were the donors.
01:51:09.000Notable, high-profile, super-mega-donors like Miriam Adelson, who was in the corner of DeSantis and then Haley.
01:51:18.000Ken Griffin, Wall Street Citadel manager, who initially wanted DeSantis and then Haley, before they both eventually supported Trump, as well as many others.
01:51:36.000The donors were behind DeSantis and Haley.
01:51:40.000And when we saw those presidential debates, it was a contest of who could support Israel more.
01:51:46.000We know why they supported DeSantis and Haley.
01:51:50.000It is because DeSantis, being from Florida, which is like the capital of Mossad, it's like Israel's second capital, and Nikki Haley being a neocon, We knew that both of them having a close relationship with the Adelsons,
01:52:08.000both of them advocating for war with Iran in the past, both of them advocating for the embassy move to Jerusalem, we knew that both of them were more reliable suzerains, more reliable servants of the Israel lobby than Trump.
01:52:26.000They were not nationalists, had no call to personality, and Not independent in any way.
01:52:35.000And so we know that was the donor's preference.
01:52:37.000And it was that story that defined the first half of the year.
01:52:43.000When Trump emerged victorious in the primary, around March and April is when it became official, there were a couple of interesting developments that happened one after the other, and they were these.
01:52:57.000Iran bombed Israel for the first time ever in history.
01:53:03.000On April 1st, Iran bombed Israel with drones, ballistic and cruise missiles.
01:53:12.000It was shortly after this that the Republicans in Congress who up until that point since October of 2023 before October 7th from then until the bombing of Israel had resisted passing an omnibus spending bill because they wanted restrictions on immigration and they didn't want to hand over money to Ukraine.
01:53:36.000But once Israel was bombed they dropped their opposition.
01:53:40.000Shortly after this, Nikki Haley endorsed Trump, and she visited Israel, allegedly on his behalf.
01:53:49.000And this was part of a deal for Miriam Adelson to give money to Trump.
01:54:00.000Trump said she'd be on the team, and Miriam Adelson signaled for the first time that she would be putting her money behind Trump.
01:54:10.000And so what happened in a word is that after the primary was over, it was time for the pro-Israel donors to get serious.
01:54:20.000The pro-Israel donors need a Republican in the White House because a Republican will not even make the gesture, will not even pretend to restrain Israel or to withhold their aid money or attach conditions to it because a Republican administration will not even go through the motions of conducting diplomacy with the Palestinians or with Iran or with any other country.
01:54:48.000And so when Israel got attacked, it was time for all other considerations to go out the window.
01:54:55.000Immigration, Ukraine, any donor hangups about Trump, Trump was the nominee, could not be defeated.
01:55:03.000And so it's time to shut up and get behind him because he would be the Republican and he would deliver for Israel.
01:55:11.000And then what we saw ever since was really spectacular.
01:55:15.000And I've pointed this out throughout the year.
01:55:18.000This is when I started to get really a lot of backlash.
01:55:23.000I said right around this time that that was a big problem for me that Nikki Haley endorsed Trump.
01:55:30.000In case people don't know, Nikki Haley is not on our side.
01:56:05.000I had been putting all the evidence out on this show since October 7th that this was coming.
01:56:11.000Like I said, October 7th dictated the course of 2024 because the events on October 7th demanded a huge outpouring of support for the Republicans so that they could get a friend in the White House.
01:56:46.000And then it was the coalescence of Little Tech around the same time.
01:56:50.000It was Jacob Hellberg in March who was the first out of the Little Tech donors to give the maximum contribution to the joint fundraising committee.
01:57:04.000That was soon followed by a fundraiser at David Sacks House in the summer, which was connected by J.D. Vance before he was named vice president.
01:57:16.000And I had pointed out throughout the year, it seemed all of a sudden that the New York Times was a little bit more friendly to Donald Trump and a little bit more critical of Joe Biden.
01:57:26.000It seemed to have started right around Joe Biden's press conference addressing the special counsel which declined to pursue charges against him.
01:57:34.000Right around the time when Biden criticized Israel's conduct in the war.
01:57:40.000And so all of a sudden, the media was pulling their punches on Trump.
01:57:46.000Miriam Adelson decided she was going to cut a check after all.
01:57:51.000Nikki Haley finally endorsed Trump again, even though she had realistically been campaigning against him since 2018. And so the deck was stacked.
01:58:05.000You have the presidential debate between Trump and Joe Biden.
01:58:10.000New York Times editorial board the next day said it was time for him to go.
01:58:15.000The Trump assassination attempt, RNC. And there was a surge for Kamala back in August.
01:58:24.000But ultimately, it was made clear from the very beginning that a Trump landslide would be the outcome.
01:58:31.000And the path was paved by Elon's acquisition of X in 2022. It was paved by his intercession in politics behind Ron DeSantis in 2023 with his allies.
01:58:45.000And then finally, when they overcame whatever hangups they had and supported Trump when it was clear that he would be the victor, After the first half of this year, now he is the president.
01:58:59.000Concurrently, throughout all of this, Israel has pursued this expansionist, aggressive policy in the Middle East, decimating Hamas, opening up a front against Hezbollah in Lebanon, bringing down the Assad government,
01:59:14.000and antagonizing iran creating a pattern creating a tempo which they will be eager to exploit when trump is in office to escalate to the point where they can directly strike iran's nuclear program and totally reshape the middle east which will be under their control and so in a word this past year 2024 24, Or, you know,
01:59:40.000Although, in some ways, it was good for America first and for us.
01:59:45.000We've seen the proliferation of our ideas.
01:59:47.000People are becoming more aware about Israel and our relationship with them and about Jewish power.
01:59:53.000At the same time, they have been ascendant.
01:59:58.000All of these pro-Israel military technology contractors...
02:00:04.000Like SpaceX and Anduril and Palantir and the people that run them, the Founders Fund, the PayPal Mafia, Y Combinator, Little Tech, VC, whatever you want to call this new gang of oligarchs, they are all aligned with Israel and they are all now getting jobs in the White House.
02:00:25.000It was just reported today that the managing partner of Andreessen Horowitz will be running the Office of Personnel.
02:00:34.000And for those that don't know, Andreessen Horowitz is one of the big, like we talked about earlier, venture capital firms with deep ties to Israel and pro-Israel conservative politics.
02:00:47.000Now, in the interceding years between the first Trump term and the second Trump term, there was a dream that John McEntee, Who was controlling that same office of personnel at the end of the first Trump term.
02:01:04.000The dream was that he, leading Project 2025 with the Heritage Foundation, was creating with his allies in the administration from the first term, creating a database of thousands of America First Trump loyalists who would fill up the second term and deliver a nationalist agenda.
02:01:26.000That was the goal, that with Trump in office, he would bring with him McEntee, a key lieutenant, who would fill up the rest of the positions with loyalist America firsters, and they would color the administration.
02:01:43.000They would define the character of a second Trump administration.
02:01:54.000And instead, we have got something completely different.
02:01:58.000Instead, Elon Musk came in with $300 million and all of the Wall Street and Silicon Valley donors like Bill Ackman and Helberg and Sachs and...
02:02:16.000They literally backed up a dump truck full of cash into the Trump campaign.
02:02:22.000And ever since, they have dictated policy and personnel.
02:02:27.000That is why Project 2025 was disavowed.
02:02:30.000And that is why now the people that are running the administration are coming from Florida.
02:02:36.000It's coming from Susie Wiles' playbook.
02:02:41.000And the people that are getting all these other positions, they're coming from Silicon Valley.
02:02:48.000Now instead of John McEntee running personnel, you have Scott Cooper from Andreessen Horowitz.
02:02:56.000Now instead of Hope Hicks as the chief of staff or somebody like that, now you've got Susie Wiles.
02:03:03.000And now instead of having a truly America first administration, you're getting what we have heard about and seen since the election, which is common sense conservatism.
02:03:14.000They're talking about opening up the H-1B visa caps so that we can import more high skilled Indian labor.
02:03:22.000Tom Holman is saying, as a matter of fact, it won't be mass deportations.
02:03:27.000It'll be targeted at violent criminals only.
02:03:32.000They're openly discussing the possibilities of airstrikes against Iran's nuclear program.
02:03:38.000And you have even members like the Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, who are ideologically not in favor of tariffs, only see them as a negotiating tool rather than part and parcel of a sound economic strategy.
02:03:57.000This is not an America first administration.
02:04:00.000This administration, if you're looking purely at the appointments, if you're looking at the personnel, the flesh and blood people, and their networks, and who they are, what they're really about, you will figure out the character of this administration.
02:04:17.000It has been captured by a new generation of defense contractors with somehow even deeper ties to the state of Israel.
02:05:03.000The Republicans are already, I hate to tell you, looking forward to 2026, the midterms.
02:05:12.000And if Republicans are already thinking about the midterms, that means they're not thinking about rocking the boat with anything controversial like rounding up illegal immigrants that have been here their entire lives and are working hard and just trying to make a living.
02:05:29.000They're not about to round up all those people and ship them back over the border.
02:05:36.000We're talking about the smallest house majority in American history.
02:05:42.000And they're going to want to retain it or expand it, and in the meantime, they're going to have to work with it.
02:05:47.000And that actually does not entail anything extraordinary, if this recent omnibus bill is any evidence of that.
02:05:56.000We are probably going to be looking at more war in Ukraine.
02:06:01.000Contrary to what Trump ran on and what people expected, according to his national security advisor Mike Waltz, they say they're working hand in glove with the Biden administration.
02:06:12.000I imagine the policies are going to be quite similar.
02:06:16.000And in the Middle East conflict, Netanyahu is going to get what he paid for, which is to bring the fight to Iran and decapitate that regime, just like they have with Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen, Hezbollah, and up until recently, Afghanistan.
02:06:36.000They're going to get what they paid for, which is a systematic break in the balance of power in the Middle East.
02:06:46.000Our role in the next four years is going to be the opposition within the right wing.
02:06:53.000And so the name of the game for us, and this is what I've been obsessed with, is institutionalization.
02:07:01.000I recognize that I am an eccentric personality and I have a talent at...
02:07:11.000I also have a talent at making a cult-like following of people that hate me and want to kill me and not like me.
02:07:20.000So, this America First movement, as much as people don't love this, it does need to be something above and beyond me.
02:07:33.000I may be the beating heart of it, and I may be the stomach and the brain and the engine and the face of it, but it needs to exist outside of me independently as an institution, as an institution.
02:07:51.000And we have to start thinking institutionally.
02:08:07.000We're really going to need to be smart if we're going to compete with people that have vastly more resources and that have been doing this a lot longer than we have.
02:08:18.000But the goal next year and in the next four years is to recreate many of the different organs of the institution, which is Conservatism, Inc., If conservatism has book publishers, we need to have a book publisher.
