00:00:37.000And our featured story tonight is about Donald Trump's planned rally for tomorrow, the one year anniversary of the 1 6 Capitol insurrection, which has been canceled apparently at the behest of Representative Lindsey Graham from South Carolina.
00:00:57.000So, it was announced a few weeks ago that the former president Donald Trump was going to give an address, a speech.
00:01:04.000From Mar a Lago in Florida tomorrow, one year after the Capitol.
00:01:10.000And nobody knew what he was going to talk about, actually.
00:01:13.000I was curious to see what was going to be discussed.
00:01:17.000But earlier this week, he announced with a press release that the event is canceled and he will not be giving a speech on the one year anniversary.
00:01:28.000Instead, what he'll be doing is talking about whatever it was he was going to talk about tomorrow at a rally in Arizona on January 15th.
00:01:39.000Next week or a week and a half from now, which is lame and it sucks.
00:01:46.000And honestly, this is my opinion on Trump at this point, and we'll get into this a little bit more later on in the show.
00:01:55.000Trump still has the support of most of the GOP, he is still the presumptive nominee in 2024 if he decides to run and the leader of the party.
00:02:05.000But that being said, he is disappointing.
00:03:06.000We'll also be talking tonight about an article which I read today about Elijah Schaefer.
00:03:13.000Elijah Schaefer is a host on The Blaze, and he's been catching some controversy lately.
00:03:21.000Last time he caught some flack for having me on his show, both of his shows, Slightly Offensive and You Are Here, which are both on The Blaze.
00:03:31.000And now he's in trouble because he talked about how the Zionist Organization of America sponsors the ACU, which puts on the CPAC conference.
00:03:42.000And I read a hit piece about him today in Mediaite.
00:05:41.000I believe that by the end of tonight, we will be halfway sold out, which is pretty incredible because it's $150.
00:05:50.000That's not, it's a little bit steep, but that's what it costs to put on a conference of this size.
00:05:56.000We're nearly halfway sold out, and the tickets have been on sale for less than 72 hours, which is pretty impressive because this is going to be.
00:06:05.000I said this yesterday, there has never been a gathering of dissident right wing young people bigger than this AFPAC 3 conference, which we are putting on.
00:06:18.000What we're going to do in February, unprecedented.
00:06:22.000Unprecedented in the history of American politics.
00:06:26.000Never before has there been a larger gathering of America First dissident young right wing people.
00:06:34.000Because we're going over the numbers this week.
00:06:37.000And I said, you know, even in the heyday of the alt right, which we're not alt right, but the alt right was another right wing political movement, you know, just as a point of comparison, even in their heyday, they didn't come close, didn't even approach the size and scale of the conference that we're putting on this February.
00:06:57.000It will be comparable to Turning Point USA, it will be comparable to any other mainstream major right wing organization.
00:07:05.000And, you know, the difference is this Turning Point USA.
00:07:08.000Last year brought in $43 million and they paid people to go to their conference.
00:07:15.000And they had every congressman and every Fox News pundit and all that.
00:07:20.000We're going to have a comparable sized event with a fraction of the budget.
00:09:30.000It's really a promising future for this movement.
00:09:32.000I told you at the beginning of the year, which was two days ago, that this is going to be an awesome year, and it really is all falling into place.
00:09:42.000God willing, we'll have the best year yet.
00:10:01.000And we're thinking about giving something away.
00:10:03.000Like, if you buy them before February, we're going to give you something.
00:10:07.000Because I know all these Zoom, and it is all young people.
00:10:10.000It's like, it's a blessing, and then there's some downsides because not only is it going to be a huge conference, but it's all going to be young people.
00:10:19.000You know, not for nothing, but you go to some of these other dissident conferences, and they're way smaller, and it's all old people.
00:10:26.000It's all boomers, which, I mean, that's okay.
00:10:30.000But, you know, some of these conferences you go to, and it's like 300 old guys.
00:10:34.000And they're all like, you know, neo Confederates.
00:10:37.000They're all like sons of Dixie, which is fine, which is fine.
00:10:41.000I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.
00:10:43.000But when you go to America First conferences, it's young.
00:10:47.000They're young people, which is promising because that means that they're the future.
00:10:53.000They're my age or younger or slightly older.
00:10:56.000And that means they're in college or becoming professionals.
00:11:11.000And you go to this thing and it's like, whoa, like a lot of young people and they're all like on the same page, professing the right thing.
00:11:21.000But the downside is that these kids, they're like, yeah, I'll buy it later.
00:11:26.000It's like, no, come on, plan ahead, plan ahead.
00:15:32.000Here's what it says it says, Blaze TV host Elijah Schaefer decried foreign influence.
00:15:39.000In U.S. politics, while calling out the non existent Zionist Movement of America for sponsoring the annual CPAC conference, in addition to blaming Israel and other countries for exploiting the greed of Americans.
00:15:54.000So, in this article, they point out that Elijah called it the Zionist Movement of America, when clearly what he meant is the Zionist Organization of America.
00:16:06.000It's the ZOA, that's the organization, and he misspoke and called it the Zionist Movement of America.
00:16:58.000It says During Tuesday's episode of The Blazes, You Are Here, although Schaefer called out other countries, including Qatar, China, Russia, for influencing U.S. politics, by including the Jewish state of Israel in his rant about foreign influence, he echoed the anti Semitic trope.
00:17:17.000Of Jewish and Israeli control of U.S. policy.
00:17:29.000It says Elijah Schaefer decried foreign influence in U.S. politics while simultaneously calling out the Zionist Organization of America.
00:17:40.000During Tuesday's episode of The Blaze, you are here.
00:17:43.000Although he called out other countries such as Qatar, China, and Russia for influencing U.S. politics, By including the state of Israel in his rant about foreign influence, he was echoing an anti Semitic trope about Jews influencing American foreign policy.
00:18:03.000So let me get this straight Elijah Schaefer goes on his show and says, What's the deal with foreign influence of American politics?
00:18:11.000Yeah, I'm sick of Russia and China and Qatar and Israel influencing our foreign policy.
00:18:37.000Well, you know, you can call out the foreign influence of China and the influence of Russia and of Qatar and Iran and Saudi Arabia and NATO, but he included Israel on that list.
00:18:49.000And to say that Israel influences American politics is invoking an age old anti Semitic trope.
00:19:17.000It says organizations similar to the non existent, snarky, non existent Zionist movement of America that actually exist include the American Zionist Movement and the Zionist Organization of America.
00:19:31.000With the former being a group that works with both sides of the political aisle and the latter being on the right.
00:19:36.000So, this article is so bitchy and snarky.
00:19:39.000It's like organizations similar to the non existent Zionist Movement of America, which doesn't exist, dummy, but organizations like it, such as the American Zionist Movement, really?
00:19:55.000You know, they're going to call them out and say, hey, idiot, it's not the Zionist Movement of America, it's the American Zionist Movement, okay?
00:20:09.000It says, in addition to supporting Zionism, both organizations seek to support the Jewish people, not only in Israel, but also in the United States.
00:20:17.000In such was as combating anti Semitism, that's his bad writing.
00:20:22.000Neither organization has ever been a sponsor at CPAC.
00:20:26.000After talking about the time he refused $10,000 from Qatar, though he said he initially considered it, Schaefer talked about the time he went to CPAC.
00:20:36.000And it was like CPAC presented by the Zionist Movement of America.
00:20:40.000And I'm like, why is the group whose sole interest is the success of Israel the biggest supporter of American conservative politics?
00:20:56.000It does seem super off that an organization whose sole interest is that of a foreign country would be the biggest patron of American conservative politics.
00:21:09.000Yeah, that does seem a little off, doesn't it?
00:21:15.000He continued, quote, like, I was like, why is the biggest group not Patriots of America, or like Heritage Foundation, or For a Better Country, or the Claremont Institute, or just something?
00:21:27.000I'm like, why is it a foreign country who wants their country to be the best is the one promoting and funding our politicians and our groups?
00:21:38.000Yeah, that's a valid question, I think.
00:23:50.000And I think that, you know, something, any American and any Christian and any conservative and any nationalist and any patriot who heard that would agree with it.
00:24:01.000We're not allowed to say things like that.
00:24:04.000You're not allowed to say that on Fox News.
00:24:06.000You're not allowed to say that at Breitbart if Steve Bannon has something to say about it, or Daily Wire or Prager or any of them.
00:24:16.000And you're not allowed to say that because the people that run those media organizations know that Americans will agree.
00:24:23.000And they know that if a politician or a pundit or a leader with that message could put that out there without being censored or blacklisted, that person would become.
00:24:37.000And if that person became the president, all this foreign influence, all the lobbying, all the global special interests would be brought to heel.
00:24:47.000And they would be kicked out and jettisoned from this country back to their home where they belong.
00:24:53.000And all the money and all the special favors and the quid pro quo would dry up, which is what these organizations thrive on.
00:25:01.000That's why, because Elijah said this, something which is totally right, something which is right on the money, and everyone would agree with.
00:25:10.000Is triggering alarm bells at Mediaite.
00:26:33.000So that means that there is an open invitation to the delegations, the diplomatic, financial, and other interests, and representatives of foreign countries can come here.
00:26:45.000And they can lobby our government to use the wealth and power of our nation to benefit the people in their homes.
00:26:56.000This is just a great big pile of cash, and it's our military.
00:27:02.000And Israel knows that they could spend a little bit of their money on lobbying here.
00:27:06.000They pay for CPAC, they pay for this, they pay for that, they pay for AIPAC, they pay for this one and that one's campaign.
00:27:14.000And they know that Congress is going to loot.
00:27:19.000Loot the tax revenue of the American government and give it to their country in the form of missile defense and military aid and all the rest.
00:28:16.000Why am I banned on Facebook, Twitter, everything?
00:28:19.000Why am I barred from the Republican Party?
00:28:22.000Why does Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority League, Minority leader, call a meeting with Paul Gosar because he heard a rumor that Representative Gosar might have a fundraiser with me.
00:28:35.000It's not because I made a joke on my show in January 2020 about cookies.
00:28:40.000It's not because I've said offensive things or swear words.
00:28:44.000It's because I'm not down with the foreign influence in the conservative movement that comes from Israel, like everybody else is.
00:28:51.000Like everybody else is compromised on that issue.
00:29:01.000And this is why we have to stand up and call it out for what it is.
00:29:07.000For so long, the reason that they've been able to suppress this is with fear because people know that if you speak out on this issue, your career's over, boom, gone, you're Nick Fuentes.
00:29:17.000You're kicked out of CPAC, you're treated like dirt, you're treated like you're radioactive.
00:29:22.000You know, some Koch brother alum working for Marjorie Taylor Greene will tell you, we can't work with you because you're radioactive.
00:29:30.000You know, Jewish space lasers, but I'm radioactive from a Koch brother, chief of staff or legislative assistant.
00:29:39.000And everybody looks at the cautionary tales and goes, Oh boy, I don't want to end up like that.
00:30:22.000If somebody like me steps up and survives, and I still have a career, and I still make money, and I'm still alive and breathing saying this stuff, then it becomes contagious, and people start to say, hmm.
00:31:40.000And that needs to exist so that there is a place for people to go when they get called out and hunted down like runaway slaves by people like this.
00:31:58.000Away from these people, they're going to hunt you down and catalog everything you say and dig up all the skeletons in your closet because you called out the wrong country.
00:32:08.000And people need to have the courage of their convictions and calling that what it is.
00:32:20.000You remember I was on Twitter space a few weeks ago with Yoram Hazoni's son.
00:32:28.000Yoram Hazoni, who is a Jewish Israeli Zionist who's hosting a national conservatism conference in America.
00:32:36.000Yoram Hazoni's son, who lives in Israel, is on there calling me an anti Semite and the usual stuff.
00:32:42.000And I'm on there with the guy from Claremont, and I'm on there with the guy from OAN and from American Moment.
00:32:48.000Or whatever, all these think tanks who can even keep track of them all.
00:32:53.000And they go, Nick, what do you think about the fact that your career basically has a very low ceiling because of what you've said about controversial things you've said in your past?
00:33:02.000I mean, that's the kind of level of character that these people bring to the table.
00:33:07.000Now, I'm sorry, if we're going to make America great again, we need a new class of leadership.
00:33:15.000And leadership starts with moral conviction and moral courage.
00:33:32.000We need people that are true believers, true lovers of God and of Jesus Christ.
00:33:39.000That is who we need leading the country.
00:33:41.000How can we expect everything else in the country to get better, the institutions and the people, if the leaders that are supposed to be the vanguard for this transition aren't good themselves?
00:33:51.000We're going to elect a bunch of clever people that are going to find ways to manipulate phrases and words and take the right money from the right foreign interest lobby and only compromise a little bit.
00:34:10.000So, and the difference between me and those people, and I don't want to lump Elijah in with me because, I mean, he's going to catch a lot of flack for this, I'm sure.
00:34:21.000And like Michelle Malkin, like John Miller, and like Elijah Schaefer, and like Vince James.
00:34:27.000We need people like Wendy Rogers, and Paul Gosar, and Steve Franson, Jaden McNeil, and everybody in this thing.
00:34:36.000And courage is contagious, and we need it to spread.
00:34:39.000And we need people like that to step up and say, you know what?
00:34:42.000You can fire me, you can blacklist me, you can call me an anti-Semite, you can kick me out of your cocktail parties, you can shoot me and kill me dead.
00:35:48.000Not because we're going to get something from it, not even because we think we're going to succeed, but because it's the right thing to do.
00:36:29.000And that should be a beacon of hope that within, because Elijah, he was skeptical of us for some time, and he, I think, was a lot more of a conventional kind of a guy.
00:36:40.000But for him to stand up and say that, which took real balls and real courage, and God bless him, It's like, you know what?
00:37:00.000That's why they're doing everything in their power to shut it down, whether it be on Twitter, Facebook, the FBI, Getter, doesn't matter, but they can't stop it.
00:39:28.000And he put out this big, long press release and said something like, oh, you know, the real focus should be on the 2020 election and blah, blah, blah.
00:39:48.000It says, quote, former President Donald Trump's announcement Tuesday evening that he would cancel a previously planned press conference is good news for Senate Republicans who earlier in the day openly fretted that he would pull their party back into debating his false election claims.
00:40:08.000It also ensures that Republicans won't have to keep one eye on the TV on the anniversary of the Capitol attack, nor will they face a deluge of questions about Trump in the immediately following days.
00:40:22.000Senator Shelley Moore Capito said, I don't think that's a good idea when asked about the press conference.
00:40:29.000She said, I guess it depends on what he's going to say, but early assumptions are that it's going to be an aggressive statement.
00:40:35.000I just don't think that's a good idea.
00:40:37.000Similarly, Senator Joni Ernst said, Said she wanted to stay focused on congressional activities.
00:40:43.000And Senator Pat Toomey, who voted to convict Trump over his role on the 6th, said the event wasn't a, quote, terribly good idea, but what am I going to do about it?
00:40:54.000Those were the members who decided to even talk about it.
00:40:57.000Even as the former president continues to defend the rioters who attacked the Capitol, Senate Republicans largely prefer to ignore him, still seeing scant purpose in provoking a prickly Trump even a year after he's left office.
00:41:11.000In interviews on Tuesday, several declined to comment and instead said their attention is on moving forward.
00:41:17.000Senate Republicans opting not to discuss Trump's latest grievances highlights the ongoing tension within the GOP over how much attention to give the former president, especially as he continues to falsely state that the 2020 election was stolen.
00:41:31.000While many Senate Republicans condemned Trump in the immediate aftermath of the attack, when pro Trump rioters stormed the Capitol, he still holds substantial sway over the party, particularly in GOP primaries.
00:41:44.000John Cornyn from Texas said, It's a free country.
00:41:47.000You're entitled to say whatever you want to say, subject to some limitations, but I think the country has moved on.
00:41:53.000I think we ought to focus our efforts on getting things done for the American people and not re litigating issues that have already been decided.
00:42:01.000In addition to talking about the election, Trump also expected to decry the House Select Committee investigation into January 6th.
00:42:09.000In a statement announcing he was canceling the rally, Trump blamed the committee for his decision and said he would discuss many of these important topics.
00:42:17.000At his rally in Arizona on January 15th.
00:42:26.000And it sucks because, in large part, because five years ago, this would have been Trump's bread and butter.
00:42:34.000You know, like he was convinced not to do this by the Republican Party, he was convinced not to do this by Lindsey Graham, the worst senator in Congress.
00:42:47.000He was convinced not to do this by Mitch McConnell.
00:43:09.000I imagine he canceled maybe because of the midterms, maybe because he's afraid that the House Select Committee might indict him.
00:43:18.000Really, I don't know what it is, but this is not the same Trump that we had five years ago.
00:43:25.000Five years ago, Trump would have dared them to try to stop him.
00:43:29.000You know, you remember this was the best moment, I think, in the early primary days, and the first Fox News.
00:43:36.000GOP primary debate, August 2015, he had been saying, you know, look, if I don't win the nomination for president, Republican nomination for president, then I'll just run third party.
00:43:49.000And they were like, no, no, no, you can't do that.
00:43:50.000If you run third party, you'll split the vote and then Hillary Clinton will be president.
00:44:11.000I'm going to win because, you know, you guys are all controlled opposition and I'd like to run as the Republican or I'll run as something else.
00:44:19.000And in that first debate, they called him out in front of everybody, all the, what was it, 10 or 15 candidates.
00:44:27.000I said, Raise your hand if you think, if you plan on running third party if you don't win the nomination.
00:44:33.000Trump, you know, alone raises his hand.
00:44:35.000And it's like, that's the kind of stuff that he was known for doing.
00:44:44.000Zionism, it wasn't, whatever it is now, whatever it's turned into, I don't even know.
00:44:51.000This thing about RFK coming back and JFK coming back to life, like Guantanamo Bay and like executions, like whatever the hell it is now, that was never the initial appeal.
00:45:07.000The initial appeal of Trump was that he was going into the establishment of the GOP and taking on the establishment of the left.
00:45:16.000And calling them out for what they are and doing things that were bold and disruptive.
00:45:22.000And this is like a purely political move, like a calculated, cynical political play for the midterms.
00:45:30.000It's a safe, conservative play to try to salvage some election that's going to happen in a few months.
00:45:39.000And it's like, look at the bigger picture, man.
00:45:42.000The election was stolen from you, they stole it from you in five states.
00:45:49.000They rigged the media, they rigged the polls, they rigged social media, they rigged the ballots, they rigged the whole process of certifying the elections and everything from top to bottom.
00:46:11.000Then, when Trump tried to fight it, they conspired to undermine that effort.
00:46:16.000The FBI coordinated a false flag attack on the Capitol to create a blood libel against him and his supporters, impeach him, and bar him from running for office again.
00:46:30.000It's a one year anniversary of those obscene events.
00:46:33.000And instead of standing in opposition to this illegitimate regime as the president in exile and speaking for his supporters and for the people that want America to be sovereign, he backs down.
00:46:48.000And makes a calculated safe political play to salvage our chances that the rigged election that's going to happen in a few months makes sense.
00:47:52.000They want to buy back into the political process, which is fake and which is rigged and controlled, and forget about everything that happened in the past five years.
00:48:03.000They want to move on not just from the 6th, not just from the 3rd.
00:48:07.000They want to move on from November 8th, 2016.
00:48:10.000They want to move on from all the events of the past five years.
00:49:03.000They were like, well, you know, We're going to do all this shady business in the primary.
00:49:07.000And he was like, Oh, okay, well, you know, if you cheat me out of the primary, if it's not fair, I'll just run third party and you don't get anything.
00:49:15.000And they're like, No, no, no, you can't do that.
00:51:07.000So instead, what we're going to get tomorrow is while these Republicans are saying it's time to move on, time to move on.
00:51:14.000Yeah, well, it's just us that has to move on, because tomorrow we're going to get Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi giving a speech from the Capitol about this.
00:52:32.000And so, the only speech that'll be given tomorrow is from the perspective of this illegitimate regime that says the election claims were a lie, there was a terrorist attack on the Capitol, it was caused by disinformation, and et cetera, et cetera, which is why we need what?
00:52:47.000Censorship and a new war on terror against our own people.
00:52:52.000And no one's going to be out there representing us to say otherwise.
00:52:58.000It should have been a no brainer, but we got convinced by Lindsey Graham that we'd be better off rolling the dice again with another midterm.
00:53:06.000You know, because that always works out so well.
00:53:08.000That's always a surefire way for us to get the things that we want.
00:55:39.000How did they not have a competent platform?
00:55:42.000How is it not as competent as Gab, which does not have $75 million, or Cozy TV, which doesn't have, we don't even have $10 million, we don't even have a million behind this platform specifically.
00:55:55.000Well, it's because they're probably spending all their money on this, bribing people to join their platform.
00:58:42.000But there's a lot of, and Andrew Anglin writes about this there's a lot of guys that they want their girlfriend to be their mom.
00:58:51.000They appoint their girlfriend to boss them around and tell them what to do and do their chores and give them head pats and get validation and approval.
00:59:30.000But, you know, my dad was the patriarch of the family growing up.
00:59:35.000I'll be the patriarch of the family, a transition will be made.
00:59:40.000But this, like, you know, because it's very common these days, the domineering mom and guys just let their moms walk all over them, and then let their girlfriends walk all over them, and then let their wives walk all over them, and then their wives walk all over the family, and you get generation after generation of these pussy boys, and it's no good.
01:01:24.000It's a mistake because of no fault divorce and all these laws that benefit women, but it's not wrong in itself.
01:01:31.000It's not wrong because of the so called dysfunction.
01:01:34.000No, people should basically be getting married young to random strangers and then just making it work.
01:01:41.000Like, that's basically what it should be.
01:01:43.000This gay business of like a dating life or a sex life, this like, you know, I'm going to date for a thousand years and go on cutesy little dates and get my heart broken and fall in love a hundred billion times before I meet Mr. Wright or Mrs. Wright and settle down and do the whatever.
01:03:00.000But I'm saying, understand what I'm saying here.
01:03:03.000I'm saying there's nothing in itself wrong with getting married to someone you don't even necessarily fully know.
01:03:14.000And what I mean by that is you don't need to go through a five year courtship, you don't need to date around, you don't need to sleep around.
01:03:21.000You really just need to pull the trigger and then make it work.
01:03:26.000Like, there's nothing, I'm saying there's nothing, I'm not saying you need to do that.
01:03:44.000But yeah, so this idea that, like, I would be the boyfriend to me is so gay.
01:03:49.000And I can't tell you how angry it makes me.
01:03:53.000Could you imagine some girl is like, my boyfriend's coming over, and then I show up and I'm like, hi, hi, honey, let's go, the car's running, let's go out to dinner.
01:04:51.000You really should just sort of be non exclusive courting and then you propose to somebody.
01:04:57.000As somebody with no experience with women, as someone with zero romantic or sexual experience, with anybody, people have been saying, he keeps saying with women, and that's supposed to be a wink that it's like, oh, but with guys.
01:12:46.000Or, you know, people always telling me, Nick, you're great, but you really got to stop with the women thing or this thing or that thing or the other thing.
01:12:52.000It's like people like the show because it's because I say that stuff.
01:12:55.000Because everyone's thinking it, but nobody wants to say it.
01:13:25.000I promise you, I'm trying not to talk about it every night, but somehow, somehow, I just steer it back in that direction every single night.
01:13:35.000So, you know, it's not deliberate, but it just always seems to end up there.
01:14:07.000Because I would be non exclusively talking to some of them and just picking one basically with a coin toss and saying, okay, make me some pork chops.
01:21:17.000I don't really know the lore, but I know that there's a lot of songs from that on TikTok.
01:21:23.000And I've seen cringe compilations where young kids do like, Songs from Five Nights at Freddy's at school, but I don't really know what it is.
01:27:16.000You know, when all is said and done and the story of your life is told, no one is going to care about which women paid attention to you.
01:27:24.000But building things, the work that you do, you know, creative pursuits, business, you know, that's a legacy.
01:27:34.000And if you have family and children, you know, that's part of that.
01:27:37.000But this, like, because that's what I see all the time it's just this, like, endless pursuit of female approval, female attention, doing this for women.
01:31:21.000No, no, we don't have the rights to it, but I'm glad to hear you got a lot out of it.
