00:00:06.000Will have passed comprehensive immigration reform.
00:00:09.000I hope we have a president who honors treaty rights and tribal sovereignty.
00:00:13.000A year from now, I want to see the kids playing on the playground.
00:00:17.000I take pride in my job and helping our customers.
00:00:21.000But next year, I want to do it with I hope we have a president who honors treaty rights and tribal sovereignty.
00:00:28.000A year from now, I want to see the kids playing on the playground.
00:00:32.000I take pride in my job and helping our customers.
00:00:36.000But next year, I want to do it without wearing a mask or gloves.
00:00:41.000I hope that we are all celebrating landmark legislation that the Biden Harris administration have shepherded through Congress and signed into law.
00:00:50.000This time next year, Harris will again be able to look forward to the day where we can send our children to school without fear of gun violence.
00:01:01.000This time next year, I hope that this country realizes that we have, in fact, reclaimed the soul of America.
00:01:42.000You might know me as a guy who ran for president talking about math and the future.
00:01:47.000Unfortunately for all of us, that future is now.
00:01:50.000The pandemic has accelerated everything.
00:01:52.000If you're like me and my wife, Evelyn, you don't know if your child's school is going to reopen this fall.
00:01:58.00072% of Americans believe that this is the worst time we have ever experienced.
00:02:03.000And 42% of the jobs that have been lost, millions of jobs, will never return.
00:02:08.000We are in a deep, dark hole, and we need leaders who will help us dig out.
00:02:12.000I know many politicians promise and then fail to deliver.
00:02:16.000If you voted for Trump or didn't vote at all back in 2016, I get it.
00:02:21.000Many of us have gotten tired of our leaders seeming far removed from our everyday lives, and we despair that our government will ever rise to the challenges of our time.
00:02:29.000But we must give this country, our country, a chance to recover.
00:02:34.000And recovery is only possible with a change of leadership and new ideas.
00:02:38.000Bold and innovative policies that will get help into your hands in the midst of this crisis are now possible.
00:02:44.000But we need your help to turn the page for our country in 75 days.
00:02:49.000We are here tonight to celebrate Joe Biden's nomination as a Democratic candidate for president.
00:02:54.000I have gotten to know both Joe and Kamala on the trail over the past year.
00:02:58.000The way you really get to know a person when the cameras are off, the crowds are gone, it's just you and them.
00:03:03.000They're real people, they understand the problems we face.
00:03:07.000They are parents and patriots who want the best for us and our country, and if we give them the chance, they will fight for us and our families every single day.
00:03:17.000But I ask you tonight to join me to help Joe and Kamala fight for the promise of America, turn the page for our country, and lead us forward to a future we'll actually be proud to leave to our children.
00:03:29.000And now I'd like to turn it over to a great Democrat who'll be with us throughout the evening.
00:03:32.000Between the two of us, we have 11 Emmys.
00:04:21.000Good evening, America, and welcome to the fourth night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention, Uniting America.
00:04:30.000Okay, these last few nights have been going so well, we decided to add a fifth night where we will just play Michelle Obama's speech on a loop.
00:04:41.000I first met Joe Biden when I was doing my show, Veep.
00:04:45.000I played the vice president, and he was.
00:04:47.000In fact, the vice president, and we hit it off immediately.
00:04:51.000Soon after, I was asked to be on the cover of a magazine.
00:05:03.000Well, it turns out it was for Arrive, the official onboard magazine of Amtrak, which nobody ever reads, even though it's free.
00:05:15.000And the day it came out, my phone rang.
00:05:18.000And it was the vice president telling me he loved the cover and the whole article, and that it was one of the best issues of Arrive he had ever read.
00:05:28.000And that is just one of the many reasons that I wanted to be here tonight for Joe.
00:05:33.000And to remind you that Joe Biden not only knows how to read, but also he reads everything.
00:05:42.000You know, I am no policy expert, and I certainly don't pretend to be one, but I have a gut feeling about fairness and what's right.
00:05:51.000And that is why I am so excited that just in a little while, we're going to hear from Joe Biden about his plans for America plans for a strong economy that helps working people and small businesses, not just billionaires.
00:06:03.000And plans to raise the wages for the nurses and teachers and grocery workers that are getting us through this crisis.
00:06:43.000We order a pizza when the pizza requires 60 to 90 minutes for delivery, and we do that exactly 60 minutes before the convention that I've been hosting for the past three days begins, which we all know.
00:06:57.000So, not a lot of thought being put into that.
00:09:03.000I'm Sister Simone Campbell, Executive Director of Network and Leader of Nuns on the Bus.
00:09:09.000Tonight marks an important next chapter in our story of who we will become as a nation.
00:09:15.000So I speak to you with a sense of urgency and hope, knowing the difficult work ahead, but grounded in my faith.
00:09:23.000The very first paragraph of the scripture that informs the three Abrahamic traditions tells us the Divine Spirit breathed over the waters of chaos and brought forth a new creation.
00:09:36.000Encouraged by this promise that a new creation can come from chaos, let us pray.
00:09:43.000O divine spirit, is she even Christian?
00:09:45.000That's like such a Jewish interpretation of.
00:09:52.000And you're preaching the unity of all of your creation.
00:09:57.000A vision of who we are as a people grounded in community and care for all, especially the most marginalized.
00:10:05.000A vision that cares for our earth and heals the planet.
00:10:10.000A vision that ends structural racism, bigotry, and sexism so rife now in our nation and in our history.
00:10:19.000A vision that ensures hungry people are fed, children are nourished, immigrants are welcomed.
00:10:26.000O Spirit, breathe in us and our leaders a new resolve that, committed to this new American promise, we will work together to build a national community grounded in healing, fearlessly based on truth.
00:10:42.000And living out of a sense of shared responsibility.
00:10:47.000In the name of all that is holy, O Spirit, bring out of this time of global and national chaos a new creation, a new community that can, with your help, realize this new promise that we affirm tonight.
00:11:03.000And so, with profound hope, let we the people say, Amen.
00:11:18.000People of faith have long led change, from abolition and women's suffrage to the labor movement and the struggle for civil rights.
00:11:25.000Joe Biden will continue that progressive march towards justice.
00:11:29.000Inspired by respect for the dignity of all people, people Joe believes were made in the image of God.
00:11:34.000Joe learned that from his parents and the nuns and priests right here in Delaware who taught him and inspired in him a passion for justice.
00:11:42.000I'm Senator Chris Coons of Delaware, and I want to tell you about my friend Joe Biden.
00:11:47.000His faith is strong and it's personal and private.
00:11:50.000For Joe, faith isn't a prop or a political tool.
00:11:53.000I've known Joe about 30 years and I've seen his faith in action.
00:11:57.000Joe knows the power of prayer and I've seen him in moments of joy and triumph of loss and despair turn to God for strength.
00:12:06.000Joe's comforted me in my toughest moments as he has so many others.
00:12:10.000I'll never forget how Joe took the time to offer me words of comfort as my father lay in hospice.
00:12:16.000Time and again, I've seen him stop everything and listen really listen.
00:12:20.000To someone who needs a shoulder to cry on or a partner in prayer.
00:12:24.000That compassion, that empathy is part of his character.
00:12:28.000More than anything, Joe's a man of faith and conscience.
00:12:31.000He'll be a president for Americans of all faiths, as well as people of conscience who practice no particular faith.
00:12:38.000Joe's faith is really about our future, about a world with less suffering and more justice, where we're better stewards of creation, where we have a more just immigration policy, and where we call out and confront the original sins of this nation, the sins of slavery and racism.
00:12:53.000Joe knows these are central issues in this election, and for him, they're rooted in faith.
00:12:59.000Joe knows that it's faith that sustains so many ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things nurses who brave infection, firefighters who run into burning buildings, teachers working overtime, especially now.
00:13:11.000They all deserve a servant leader who knows the dignity of work, who sees them, respects them, fights for them.
00:13:19.000We need a president who brings people of all faiths together to tackle our challenges, rebuild our country, and restore our humanity.
00:13:27.000Someone who knows we're called to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God.
00:14:09.000You may remember, after Barack and Michelle and I were there, my family, I came back on that Sunday, the regular service, because I had just lost my son.
00:14:21.000And I wanted some hope because what you all did was astounding.
00:15:11.000I find the one thing it gives me, and I'm not trying to process that, I'm not trying to convince you to share my religious views.
00:15:20.000But for me, it's important because it gives me some reason to have hope and purpose.
00:15:32.000Just remember Joe Biden goes to church so regularly that he doesn't even need tear gas and a bunch of federalized troops to help him get there.
00:15:43.000No one bought heart for your right to vote than John Lewis.
00:15:47.000Here to speak about him and his legacy, we have one of our great mayors, Atlanta's Keisha Lance Bottoms.
00:16:08.000My husband, on the other hand, is still having many of the lingering side effects that people talk about, but all in all, our family's doing great.
00:16:16.000Well, I'm glad to hear it, but boy, I think a lot of Americans are going to be dealing with that for a long time.
00:16:23.000Hey, Mayor, I wanted to ask you something.
00:16:50.000Over 40 states now allow some form of early voting.
00:16:54.000Okay, stay safe, Mayor, and I turn it over to you.
00:17:01.000Well, thank you, Julia, and good evening.
00:17:04.000I'm Keisha Lance Bottoms, a mother of four, and Mayor of Atlanta, Georgia, cradle of the civil rights movement, and like so many other cities, a place where the struggle for human dignity continues.
00:17:20.000I'm proud to have grown up in this city.
00:17:22.000Educated in its public schools and blessed to have known our hometown heroes like Dr. Joseph Lowry, Dr. C.T. Vivian, and our teacher, our friend, our conscience, our congressman, John Lewis.
00:17:39.000He walked gently amongst us, not as a distant icon, but as a God fearing man who did what he could to fulfill the as yet unfulfilled promise of America.
00:17:55.000People often think that they can't make a difference, like our civil rights icons.
00:18:01.000But every person in the movement mattered.
00:18:04.000Those who made the sandwiches, swept the church floors, stuffed the envelopes.
00:18:11.000They too changed America, and so can we.
00:18:16.000The baton has now been passed to each of us.
00:18:20.000We've cried out for justice, we have gathered in our streets to demand change.
00:18:26.000And now we must pass on the gift John Lewis sacrificed to give us.
00:18:38.000In his parting essay written to us, Congressman Lewis expressed his pride in the activism that has swept our country.
00:18:48.000And he reminded us that if we fail to exercise our right to vote, we can lose it.
00:18:56.000There are those who are disgracefully using this pandemic to spread misinformation and interfere with voting, forcing many in 2020 to still risk their lives to exercise their sacred right to vote.
00:19:15.000A right that has already been used in the blood, sweat, tears, and lives of so many.
00:21:41.000The power of spirituality and humility and the willingness to suffer rather than to inflict suffering.
00:21:52.000One of the things that John has taught us is that, yeah, you may have to sacrifice, but if you're sacrificing for a cause, something bigger than you, bigger than you, and you really believe in it, Then you will have people following you.
00:22:14.000We do not get meaningful legislation out of this Congress.
00:22:17.000We will march through the South, through the streets of Jackson, through the streets of Danville, through the streets of Cambridge, through the streets of Bernie.
00:22:33.000I think he is the singular figure that has tried to carry out the work of our nonviolent campaigns into the halls of Congress.
00:22:44.000From day one, John Lewis was a role model for the members of Congress, whether they were freshmen or here a long time, because he brought with him a kind of heft, a weightiness of purpose.
00:22:59.000I got arrested a few times during the 60s.
00:23:07.000And since I've been in Congress another five times, the means by which we struggle must be consistent with the end we seek.
00:23:16.000Someone who has navigated thorny issues of policy not by castigating alone, but by also encouraging people to be better than they think they can be.
00:23:27.000Today, we are considering a fair housing measure which not only protects our nation's minorities.
00:23:33.000Sorry, I'm just going off on Twitter about John Lewis.
00:23:35.000Disabilities and families with children.
00:29:10.000Especially these songs, like, say what you will, but even in the 60s and 70s when they made a lot of that political, like, activist type music, it still stands at the test of time as objectively having artistic merit.
00:32:58.000That's kind of how they try to make them out to be.
00:33:03.000It's always funny when they choose these total milquetoast goofballs as their right wing fascist boogeymen like, I don't know, Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio.
00:33:18.000Yeah, Pence actually just seems like a nice guy, so that's particularly important.
00:33:24.000That have given us slavery, segregation, and systemic discrimination.
00:33:28.000I like that Mike Pence triggers faggots and degenerates.
00:33:31.000I mean, it's kind of a nice balance because Trump triggers blacks and Mexicans and Muslims, and Mike Pence triggers women and gay people and trans people.
00:33:42.000Because, you know, particularly it's like fags and fag hags that are always reeing about Pence.
00:33:52.000Well, I'm a girl and I'm going to kiss.
00:33:54.000Girl, and you know, I'm gonna stick it to you.
00:33:56.000So it's like a night you get nice coverage with the both of them on the ticket, yeah.
00:34:01.000Justice can be elusive and change in America.
00:34:04.000Yeah, the election was pretty funny and provisional for that reason.
00:34:07.000You had them talking about Pence believes in electrocuting gay people, and you look at what it actually was, and he supported some form of conversion therapy, or he I think he funded it at some point, but it didn't have anything to do with like electroshock therapy.
00:34:25.000They actually really want to be ruled over by tyrannical right wing dictators so that they can feel as if they're in Dumbledore's army fighting against Voldemort.
00:34:37.000And it's funny from our perspective looking at it because it's like, well, that would be base, but it's kind of not what you guys control like every institution but the executive branch and the senate, even then.
00:34:58.000I forget who coined it and what the term was, but somebody said it's like they're nostalgic for a future that didn't happen or something to that effect.
00:35:08.000Somebody had a clever phrase for it, but it's sort of like this envy or this longing, this desperation for a possibility or a future that never took place, which is kind of.
00:35:37.000Well, it's enjoyable, too, because I don't know if they really understand it in these terms, but it's enjoyable for them in part because they face no substantial consequences for their quote unquote dissent.
00:35:53.000You go out and you dress up as one of the handmaidens from The Handmaiden's Tale.
00:35:57.000Oh, Trump's, you know, Mike Pence hates gay people or whatever.
00:36:02.000But, like, if they were living under the type of regime that they LARP about living under, that they fantasize about living under, yeah, they would, these people would crack in a minute.
00:37:06.000Like, especially with like the black dudes who say a bunch of anti Semitic stuff, they all so quickly crack under pressure and they just totally backtrack.
00:40:22.000Someone, uh, yeah, I don't remember who it was, but someone tweeted out recently that like the only funny groups are black men and white men, and it's, it's, That's kind of pretty true.
00:41:40.000It's like how many abortions she's had in her eyes.
00:41:42.000You create it's like when you're creating a video game character and you have the option for like eye width, and you're like, I'm just gonna max it out and try to look like a hammerhead shark and just have that be my character.
00:43:50.000Well, the other angle to this, too, is that Brian Colphage, so he amassed the third largest donor list in conservative politics, second only to, you know, first Trump, second Ted Cruz.
00:44:02.000And so he had plans to start a political consulting firm renting out that list, which he had an arrangement.
00:45:15.000At least with us, we obviously produce something.
00:45:18.000We produce a stream every night, and it's content, it's entertainment, and it's very transparent about how it works.
00:45:25.000You pay a few bucks, you get the Super Chat read, right?
00:45:28.000But these guys, it's like they don't have an engaged following, they don't produce anything.
00:45:34.000It's literally just a giant wealth transfer where they just scam gullible boomers with email lists and Teespring campaigns and ads and whatever.
00:45:45.000They just fly around the country, going to D.C. and Florida and wherever at goofy parties that they throw for their shell corporations or shell projects or whatever, funneling it around.
00:45:58.000And it's just this giant, like, fake industry.
00:46:00.000They produce nothing and they just scam everyone, you know, with all those tactics.
00:47:17.000I mean, that's the thing is like the donors that are paying us to say things are anonymous super chatters that are paying us to keep saying what we're already saying.
00:47:28.000I know Nick might not always feel that way, you know, when he's five Polish American Groyper super chats deep.
00:47:34.000But, you know, the fact that we don't have to reach out to, you know, various entities and individuals out there that maybe would be open to giving us money with strings attached is great.
00:51:47.000It's so weird how these ethnicities, they all talk in a very idiosyncratic way.
00:51:52.000Even in the second, third, or so on down the generations, you'll have someone who's not an immigrant, doesn't speak their quote unquote native language, doesn't even speak with an accent.
00:52:03.000Indians have a very idiosyncratic way of speaking English.
00:52:08.000Same with Chinese, same with Arabs, blacks, obviously, Hispanics.
00:52:15.000I feel like a lot of Indians have that.
00:52:19.000As a doctor who swore an oath, And as an American who loves my country, I can tell you that Joe Biden is the man I trust to look out for my family and the leader I know will heal this nation.
00:52:34.000Some of the things in one language that are considered like disrespectful, like raising, like the way you use tone and how quickly you speak, even like body language and gestures.
00:52:50.000In one culture, those things can be, those things vary wildly among cultures.
00:52:55.000So the fact that you're cramming so many people from different backgrounds together means that even if like you're like, oh, these people are so rude.
00:53:37.000The volume of daily interactions in a country like this with 400 million people.
00:53:43.000And just statistically speaking, you know, that, like you said, you can't even understand each other on such a fundamental level, just basic verbal communication.
00:53:55.000Like the kinds of systemic problems that are bound to happen at that point?
00:54:00.000I mean, we can all strive towards or work towards mutual understanding, but just statistically speaking, there is so much interaction happening and it's required at such a high level.
00:54:10.000You know, in terms of sophisticated interactions and the volume of transactions, that, you know, the odds of so many of those breaking down and then like the whole country breaks down with it, it's like, why even try?
00:54:55.000My story, the part where I ran for office, and it devolves into a cacophony.
00:55:00.000It's just like people misreading each other, not caring about each other, not looking out for one another, screwing each other over in business deals.
00:59:38.000You know what's wild to think about, though?
00:59:41.000Whenever I see depictions of Intact black families, it's really staggering to think that that represents 25% of black people in the country.
00:59:50.000Like, I know we all know that statistic, but it's pretty striking when you see those representations, like in sitcoms or TV shows, like when you see the Huxtables and, you know, the Cosby show, or you see Family Matters, or you watch Blackish, which is another popular show, and you see like a well to do, upper middle class black.
01:00:13.000Family with black father, mother, and kids.
01:00:16.000It's like that represents fully 25, you know, 30 to 25% of the population of black people, you know, and the vast majority, yeah, single mothers, you know, which is sad.
01:01:19.000Obligation to take care of our military members during this pandemic for sure.
01:01:26.000It's the important thing to keep in mind however far left on cultural issues the Democratic Party has gone, its affirmation of American imperialism, of empire, of basically foreign warmongering and pro Israel stuff, like that has remained steadfast, notwithstanding the.
01:01:51.000Complaints of and protests of the likes of Ilhan Omar and so forth.
01:01:56.000It's uh, all right, that's the thing is like, yeah, it's not, it's just a future where brown people for in foreign countries are going to continue to get drone strikes like brown children, while over here, you know, the same politicians are going to lecture us for uh, you know, for opposing immigration.
01:02:13.000Good enough, they had to pander up, they had to make sure we all saw her leg.
01:02:18.000You all got to see the peg legs, right?
01:05:01.000You should only see her when you're driving through Indian territory and she's got super long hair and she gives you the thousand yard stare with that sagging, frowning expression that all Native Americans have.
01:05:15.000And then the single teardrop rolls down her cheek as you throw a styrofoam cup on the ground.
01:05:22.000You go into the teepee and she has like a stone and she's grinding corn.
01:09:13.000But we also know America is at its best.
01:09:15.000I think what it is, and I'm not defending it because you definitely shouldn't happen, but it's like a bunch of dudes just get crowded around each other.
01:15:53.000Of course, he's got a CD collection on the bookshelf.
01:15:57.000And my faith is reflected in those young people.
01:16:03.000I just want to say the way that's not a part of the millennial conversation and incorporating ideas and a few urgents have started in the campaign that they're running and the administration that they're going to lead.
01:16:12.000And I often think some people who say they don't know if they're going to vote or not are saying that from a point of privilege that a lot of Americans don't have.
01:16:19.000There are so many things for lots of folks who live life on the margins that this election is going to decide.
01:16:25.000And maybe it's not a life or death issue for you.
01:21:30.000To raise taxes on the men and make college more affordable.
01:21:34.000and investing in American research and development so that the products of tomorrow are made today by American workers.
01:21:42.000You know, growing up, I was taught to believe that America is the greatest country in the world, not because we won the Second World War, but because of why we fought it for freedom, democracy, and equality.
01:21:56.000My favorite childhood book was called Johnny Tremaine, about a Boston boy who joins the Sons of Liberty at the dawn of the American Revolution.
01:22:05.000At the end of the book, Johnny stands on Lexington Commons and sees a nation that is, quote, green with spring, dreaming of the future.
01:22:18.000And that's the America we are in danger of losing under this president.
01:22:22.000So let's put an end to this whole sorry chapter in American history and elect leaders who will bring integrity and stability, sanity and competence back to the White House.
01:22:33.000The more they're apocalyptic about Trump, the more I want to vote for Trump.
01:28:05.000He's probably like, No, I won't speak at your Zog convention, Grandpa.
01:28:12.000He was at the National Justice Party in August.
01:28:14.000He thought we were calling something sort of to, like, discuss, you know, whether or not we wanted him to, but really we were calling it to be like, Get in that race.
01:29:18.000She looked like she would have, like, some kind of an issue.
01:29:22.000Because the social injustices right now, racial inequality, Quality, but also because like a rare black couple that's the same shade as one another.
01:32:18.000This year, we're going to elect a president who's honest.
01:32:21.000Experienced and intelligent, a president who actually believes in the rule of law, who will restore dignity and normalcy to the White House.
01:32:30.000This lady's gonna burn in hell for this, like legit, you know.
01:37:52.000Have to change and they have to change right now.
01:37:57.000The way he said it was like so guttural.
01:38:01.000It was the most powerful delivery I've ever heard from a politician because usually politicians have to be very polished and you know, like sort of what's that?
01:38:13.000I said like, yeah, civil and refined, right?
01:38:18.000Polished and sort of like for mass appeal.
01:38:21.000And the way he said right now, it was so charged.
01:39:07.000So, typically the nominee doesn't show up until the fourth day, but he came out on the first day, on the Monday, and nobody was expecting it.
01:39:17.000But I don't know if you remember, it started playing We Are the Champions, and the smoke billowed in, and that is like bright light, and Trump, like the silhouette of Trump, emerged from the back, and the whole place just went crazy.
01:39:33.000And I remember seeing that and just screaming.
01:40:11.000That was like one of the best memories of the election.
01:40:13.000And then you watch this shit, and it's like four days of commercials, and now Joe Biden's going to come out and speak for, you know, five minutes.
01:40:23.000I'm waiting to see how he fucks it up.
01:40:29.000I'm looking forward to this, unless it's pre recorded.
01:42:02.000I only think we're halfway done with this.
01:42:08.000They're just now talking about the kid dying.
01:42:11.000And expanded into joy when his early Senate career had built this beautiful family, this circle of trust, and then the extra gift of Ashley.
01:42:25.000Yeah, this was the I'm gonna play the entrance capital and or a public service of your television provider C SPAN.
01:42:34.000It's kind of sad to think about, like, if Joe Biden was a conservative, like, how important he would be as a person in the United States, like, how valuable he would be to you and I.
01:44:09.000And always holding in his heart the struggles of his family and every family, always fighting to make his country whole.
01:44:19.000It's a very rare quality to bring your empathy skills to the process of governing.
01:44:25.000Joe Biden never forgets that that's the point of moving the wheels of government.
01:44:31.000He will keep his word, he will reach out and hear what other people have to say.
01:44:39.000To have somebody who believes in what's best in us, somebody like Joe Biden, who actually believes in the American idea, that's the kind of person who I want in the White House.
01:48:55.000You know, all elections are important.
01:48:58.000We know in our bones this one is more consequential.
01:49:02.000As many have said, America is at an inflection point, a time of real peril, but also of extraordinary possibilities.
01:49:11.000We can choose a path of becoming angrier, less hopeful, more divided, a path of shadow and suspicion, or we can choose a different path and together take this chance to heal, to reform, to unite, a path of hope and light.
01:50:02.000Just judge this president on the facts.
01:50:05.000Five million Americans infected by COVID-19.
01:50:09.000More than 170,000 Americans have died.
01:50:13.000By far the worst performance of any nation on earth.
01:50:17.000More than 50 million people have filed for unemployment this year.
01:50:22.000More than 10 million people are going to lose their health insurance this year.
01:50:27.000Nearly one in six small businesses have closed this year.
01:50:31.000And this president, if he's reelected, you know what will happen.
01:50:37.000Cases and deaths will remain far too high.
01:50:40.000More mom and pop businesses will close their doors, and this time for good.
01:50:45.000Working families will struggle to get by.
01:50:48.000And yet, the wealthiest 1% will get tens of billions of dollars in new tax breaks.
01:50:55.000And the assault on the Affordable Care Act will continue until it's destroyed, taking insurance away from more than 20 million people, including more than 15 million people on Medicaid.
01:51:07.000did, and getting rid of the protections that President Obama worked so hard to get passed for people who have 100 million more people who have pre-existing conditions.
01:51:20.000And speaking of President Obama, a man I was honored to serve alongside for eight years as Vice President, let me take this moment to say something we don't say nearly enough.
01:53:34.000If I'm your president on day one, we'll implement the national strategy I've been laying out since March, we'll develop and deploy rapid tests with results available immediately.
01:53:49.000We'll make the medical supplies and protective equipment that our country needs, and we'll make them here in America so we will never again be at the mercy of China or other foreign countries in order to protect our own people.
01:54:03.000We'll make sure our schools have the resources they need to be open, safe, and effective.
01:55:41.000First, your loved one may have heard the cold feel of death.
01:55:45.000They'll never leave your heart, they'll always be with you, you'll always hear them.
01:55:52.000And second, I found the best way through pain and loss and grief is to find purpose.
01:56:00.000As God's children, each of us have a purpose in our lives.
01:56:05.000We have a great purpose as a nation to open the doors of opportunity to all Americans, to save our democracy, to be a light to the world once again, and finally to live up to and make real the words written in the sacred documents that founded this nation that all men and women are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among them, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
01:56:36.000You know, my dad was an honorable, decent man.
01:56:40.000He got knocked down a few times, pretty hard, but he always got back up.
01:56:45.000He worked hard, and he built a great middle-class life for our family.
01:56:50.000He used to say, Joey, I don't expect the government to solve my problems, but I sure in hell expect them to understand them.
01:56:58.000And then he'd say, Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck.
01:57:20.000That's why my economic plan is all about jobs, dignity, respect, and community.
01:57:27.000Together we can and will rebuild our economy.
01:57:30.000And when we do, we'll not only build back, we'll build back better.
01:57:35.000With modern roads, bridges, highways, broadband, ports, and airports.
01:57:40.000As a new foundation for economic growth with pipes that transport clean water to every community, with five million new manufacturing and technology jobs, so the future is made in America.
01:57:54.000With a health care system that lowers premiums, deductibles, drug prices, by building on the Affordable Care Act he's trying to rip away.
01:58:03.000With an education system that trains our people for the best jobs of the 21st century.
01:58:08.000There's not a single thing American workers can't do.
01:58:13.000And where cost doesn't prevent young people from going to college and student debt doesn't crush them when they get out.
01:58:22.000With a child care and elder care system that makes it possible for parents to go to work and for the elderly to stay in their homes with dignity.
01:58:33.000With an immigration system that powers our economy and reflects our values.
01:58:39.000And with newly empowered labor unions, they're the ones that built the middle class.
01:59:01.000We can and we will deal with climate change.
01:59:04.000It's not only a crisis, it's an enormous opportunity.
01:59:09.000An opportunity for America to lead the world in clean energy and create millions of new good paying jobs in the process.
01:59:18.000And we can pay for these investments by ending loopholes, unnecessary loopholes, and the president's $1.3 trillion tax giveaway to the wealthiest 1%.
01:59:28.000And the biggest, most profitable corporations, some of which do not pay any tax at all.
01:59:36.000Because we don't need a tax code that rewards wealth more than it rewards work.
01:59:43.000I'm not looking to punish anyone, far from it.
01:59:47.000But it's long past time the wealthiest people and the biggest corporations in this country paid their fair share.
01:59:55.000And for our seniors, Social Security is a sacred obligation, a sacred promise made.
02:00:03.000They paid for the current president's.
02:01:28.000She knows about all the obstacles thrown in the way of so many in our country women, black women, black Americans, South Asian Americans, immigrants.
02:01:41.000But she's overcome every obstacle she's ever faced.
02:01:46.000No one's been tougher on the big banks and the gun lobby.
02:01:50.000No one's been tougher in calling out the current administration for its extremism, its failure to follow the law, its failure to simply tell the truth.
02:02:02.000Kamala and I both draw on more families.
02:03:14.000You're in Iraq, a decorated Iraqi war veteran.
02:03:19.000So I take very personally and the profound responsibility of serving as commander in chief.
02:03:27.000I'll be a president who will stand with our allies and friends and make it clear to our adversaries the days of cozying up to dictators is over.
02:03:37.000Under President Biden, America will not turn a blind eye to Russian bounties on the heads of American soldiers.
02:03:45.000Nor will I put up with foreign interference on our most sacred democratic exercise, voting.
02:03:53.000And I'll always stand for our values of human rights and dignity.
02:04:00.000I work in common purpose for a more secure, peaceful, and prosperous world.
02:04:08.000History has thrust one more urgent task on us.
02:04:14.000Will we be the generation that finally wipes out the stain of racism from our national character?
02:06:16.000Maybe George Floyd's murder was a breaking point.
02:06:21.000Maybe John Lewis is passing the inspiration.
02:06:24.000But however it's come to be, however it's happened, America's ready, in John's words, to lay down, quote, the heavy burden of hate at last and to end the hard work of rooting out.
02:07:16.000The defining feature of America, everything is possible.
02:07:21.000That in America, everyone, and I mean everyone, should be given an opportunity to go as far as their dreams and God given ability will take them.
02:07:33.000In times as challenging as these, I believe there's only one way forward as a united America, a united America, united in our pursuit of a more perfect union, united.
02:07:47.000In our dream of a better future for us and for our children, united in our determination to make the coming years bright.
02:09:03.000May history be able to say that the end of this chapter of American darkness began here tonight as love and hope and light join in the battle for the soul of the nation.
02:09:16.000And this is a battle we will win and we'll do it together.
02:12:10.000But, I mean, we see, I don't know, some people here seem enthusiastic about Biden, but he strikes me as a little better than Hillary, but in terms of enthusiasm, I just don't see it, right?
02:12:23.000And again, one of, if not the most significant factors in Trump's victory in 2016 was low voter turnout for Hillary.
02:12:31.000So I don't know if Biden really remedies that.
02:12:37.000They have mail in, though, so they can just cheat.
02:13:30.000I don't think I'm gonna do the RNC except for the last day because it's all you know, what like Nikki Haley and Tim Scott and women and blacks, the usual.
02:13:43.000Yeah, you've already tortured yourself enough this week.
02:13:46.000Yeah, I don't know if I can handle more convention.
02:13:53.000Poor people of Iowa, so psy-oped at this point by the Democrats.
02:15:48.000I could see that I could see this appealing to suburban women, particularly suburban white women.
02:15:52.000And that is a demographic, a key demographic that Trump needs to maybe not win entirely, but ensure that the Democrats don't win a very large amount of.
02:16:05.000But yeah, this just gives off like a white liberal vibe.
02:16:31.000I thought the whole convention was just basically unwatchable from start to finish.
02:16:35.000And not even because I disagreed with it, but just because, you know, and obviously there were obstacles because of the pandemic and everything, but it was just dry, boring, not compelling.
02:16:50.000After four days, literally eight hours of watching all Democratic programming, I really don't have an idea of like a coherent vision, like a coherent positive vision for why anybody would vote for Joe Biden.
02:19:40.000Yeah, I don't have it on hand, I can Google it, but yeah, I mean, look, compared to the left overall, he is a moderate.
02:19:48.000Yeah, he's insane by you know traditional American standards.
02:19:52.000He is totally, you know, totally subversive, but yeah, well, it's all relative, but I mean, he's probably the most progressive candidate in history.
02:20:03.000But you know, like you said, it's just a sign of the times that given the direction of the left, that I mean, on a technical level, he is a moderate.
02:20:34.000As we conclude this convention from the safety of our homes, we pray for a national home where security is.
02:20:42.000Dignity and prosperity abound in our hearts.
02:20:47.000Oh Lord, our guardian who neither slumbers nor sleeps, awaken us to the tireless task of perfecting our home in this great land built on foundations of freedom, justice, and equality.
02:24:06.000Four days ago, we came together to begin a historic convention, a convention across America.
02:24:13.000Since then, we've traveled all across this country, hearing from real people who are ready for something different, something better.
02:24:21.000We said this convention was for everyone, and we really meant it.
02:24:26.000It would take all of us to solve the big challenges we are facing, but if we've seen anything these last four days, it's that Americans are up to the task.
02:24:37.000So if you came here uncertain, I hope you're leaving resolved.
02:24:41.000And if you came here resolved, I hope you're leaving fired up and ready to elect Joe Biden as our president and Kamala Harris as our vice president and get out to vote for Democrats everywhere.
02:24:56.000There being no further business to come before this convention, I now declare the 48th Democratic National Convention to be adjourned.
02:27:11.000Big business, elite media, and major donors are lining up behind the campaign of my opponent because they know she will keep our rigged system in place.
02:31:21.000You know, that's why last night and tonight, it's not like I'm trying to vicariously relive the 2016 election.
02:31:28.000Don't get me wrong, it's fun, it's nostalgic.
02:31:31.000You know, I get a kick out of watching this speech, and it's the greatest hits, and it's this classic thing.
02:31:37.000And, you know, I am reminiscing a little bit.
02:31:40.000But the reason why I'm showing this to you yesterday and tonight is to show you the stark contrast of, you know, not even just the difference between the GOP and the DNC.
02:31:52.000Or between the Republicans and the Democrats, but to show you the difference between Trump and everything else, between Trump and everybody else.
02:32:00.000You know, what we've just seen for the past four days is politics as usual and our future.
02:32:07.000That's what the GOP convention will look like, largely next week.
02:32:10.000Nikki Haley and Tim Scott and all the usual suspects.
02:32:15.000And then it'll be Trump on Thursday, and that'll be different.
02:32:26.000You know, and as I said earlier, this is why I'm going all in for Trump in 2020, just like in 2016.
02:32:34.000And, you know, honestly, even if it was a normal Republican, it'd still probably be marginally better than the Democrats, but it's definitely, we can never forget that this is a remarkable and tremendous opportunity.
02:32:47.000You know, for all the people that are saying they're trying to black pill on Trump, they're trying to dissuade you from supporting Trump, oh, that's so 2016, oh, Trump didn't fulfill his promises.
02:32:58.000You know, you got to keep in mind that.
02:33:00.000Number one, you have to hedge your expectations because it's politics, of course.
02:33:05.000But number two, you have to keep in mind this world historical moment that we are still living through, which is the Trump Revolution.
02:33:11.000And even if it doesn't feel the same as 16, even if it doesn't have the same promise or maybe the same naivete about what's possible, it still is a world historical moment and an opportunity for us.
02:33:25.000Because you've got a lot of people out there that think, oh, well, you know, because Trump didn't like create deportation squads and build a 100 foot wall and blah, blah, blah.
02:33:35.000In four years, that you know, it's all over.
02:33:37.000It doesn't matter if you vote for Biden.
02:33:39.000All you have to do is look at stuff like this or even Trump in the past few weeks to know that that's not the case.
02:33:46.000You know, so you got to trust the plan, got to trust the plan, got to keep going.
02:33:53.000We got to vote for Trump, and you know, and it only reassures me when we watch a Democratic convention because keep in mind that's our future, and it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
02:34:07.000When the Democratic Party is the monoparty alone that controls everything and is out to get us?
02:34:13.000I mean, Joe Biden literally named us in the Charlottesville thing, literally named us as evil villains, the boogeyman, the target.
02:34:23.000Like, what do you think is going to happen when the Democratic takeover occurs?
02:34:28.000You know, and I understand the GOP is not like representing us.
02:34:42.000The Democratic Party uniquely represents an existential threat to this movement in a way that the GOP does not necessarily represent.
02:34:52.000So I'm under no illusions about the fact that the GOP voted to amend the appropriations bill to get the Confederate military base names changed, or that the GOP stonewalled Donald Trump to get funding for the wall, or that the GOP put in place Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, who not infrequently vote with the Democrats on a variety of social issues.
02:35:15.000I'm under no illusions about the shortfalls, the failings, the corruption on allegedly our own side, the GOP, but it's not really about that.
02:35:29.000And once they get in power, they'll be in power forever.
02:35:31.000And their first priority is literally to kill, jail, censor, imprison all of us specifically as a movement.
02:35:39.000Four more years of Trump, and don't get me wrong, it's not like we're going to have an easy job.
02:35:44.000But we're not going to have the federal government colluding directly with big tech and everybody else directly to red flag us, put us in jail, all the rest in the same way.
02:35:56.000And more than that, there's tremendous opportunities with Trump in the White House.
02:36:02.000I'm just going to say there's Groypers everywhere.
02:36:05.000And you could take that for what you will, but Trump gets another term.
02:36:11.000And there only have been more and more Groypers in certain places.
02:36:15.000Now, I don't want to say where they are, but.
02:36:18.000Those opportunities evaporate if we don't have a Republican in office.
02:36:23.000So I want people to just keep that in mind.
02:36:25.000So, you know, we watch this and it's, yeah, it's good memories and everything, but it's also, you know, it's also a reminder about what the choice is.
02:42:02.000And if that's not going to happen, then.
02:42:05.000We're going to take our ball and go home, and we can't be that way.
02:42:08.000We have to look at that and not be under any illusions about what we're getting with Trump or even what the 2020 election and the dynamics surrounding it is.
02:42:18.000But we have to look back and look at the possible.
02:42:22.000What I see in this is that the American people gave a nationalist a mandate to lead.
02:42:28.000And whatever you think about how that's been done, you know my opinion.
02:42:33.000Legal immigration cut in half, 300 miles of border wall completed.
02:42:37.000They're talking about withdrawing from Afghanistan and Iraq.
02:42:40.000And I'll believe it when I see it, but there's already been dramatic troop reductions in both countries.
02:42:45.000Renewed and a better trade deal that came out of NAFTA, the USMCA, trade deal with China, tariffs on every major country.
02:42:54.000You know, there's a lot to be proud of there, but whatever your opinion is on that, the attitude has to be you look at the 2016 election and should be inspired, maybe not in Trump as a man or as a politician or in his record, but about what is possible.
02:43:08.000With the right approach, with the right message, with the right spokesman, the right timing, with opportunism, you know, the potential is there.
02:43:17.000We just have to build upon what was done in 16.
02:43:20.000And that includes Trump now, and it will exclude Trump when Trump leaves office, you know, or it might not include or include to a lesser extent the person of Trump when he leaves office.
02:43:30.000But that's how we have to be thinking about this election.
02:43:34.000So, but I know we're all back on the MAGA train.
02:43:38.000I know we're all back on the MAGA train.
02:48:38.000It's dark days with George Floyd, it's dark days with COVID, it's even in some ways dark days with this election, which we very well may lose.
02:48:47.000That's why we have to remember the inspiration.
02:54:49.000That Trump gave us the power of belief.
02:54:52.000That is why he's so important in the grand scheme of things.
02:54:55.000That is why he is an avatar as an avatar.
02:54:59.000Is so important because at a time when everybody thought it was all over and this country was finished and decline was inevitable, he demonstrated, he didn't just convince us, but he demonstrated that there was a reason to still believe in our country, in America, in our people.
02:55:50.000You know, it's a variety of things, but some people just can never be on board with that because their personality almost necessitates losing.
02:56:00.000It's like an addiction, it's the power of attraction almost to loss, you know, to defeat.
02:56:06.000If we're going to win, we can't have that.
02:56:18.000It doesn't mean to not be practical and to not understand the full scope and the severity and the urgency of the moment and the danger of what we're in.
02:56:28.000But it does mean that if we have to win, we have to attract winning.
02:56:32.000We have to gravitate towards, we have to be thinking about, we have to believe in.
02:56:39.000I don't want that to sound corny, but it's true.
02:56:42.000Nobody that's great or does anything becomes great by saying, you know, we're all going to lose and everything's fucked and, you know, that guy's a con artist and that one's terrible and whatever.
02:57:07.000Even the most ardent pessimists, when they saw Trump, We rallied as a people, you know, in one concentrated direction and achieved something impossible.
02:57:18.000Like that in itself, that is that it happened in itself is what is inspiring.
02:57:24.000You know, and to relive it, to recapture that energy just reminds us what's possible.
02:57:29.000So, anyway, but we're going to move on.
02:57:33.000But we have to read our super chats, you know.
02:57:37.000I'll put this on in the background while we read our super chats.
03:00:20.000You know, so a lot of people have it in their heads.
03:00:23.000It's like if somebody attacks you, In a way that's like unethical or immoral or shows that they're dishonest, if you don't like that or if you like respond to that, like, oh, it's all just drama.
03:00:37.000Somebody that purports to be Catholic but spreads calumny about other people, you know, carelessly and recklessly spreads lies, you know, accuses people of being a fake Catholic or whatever, like, yeah, that kind of affects my opinion of you.
03:00:52.000You know, I had a high opinion of this guy that he, you know, I was told that he was a good Catholic author and like a, A devout Catholic, and so on.
03:01:02.000And like I said, he was nice and polite, and I'm thinking, we're on the same page.
03:01:07.000You know, we're both traditional Catholics, right?
03:01:10.000We're both conservative, we're both pro Trump, whatever.
03:01:14.000And it's this guy that is going to then turn around and start retweeting all these bad faith actors that are calling me all sorts of names and spreading lies and so on.
03:01:37.000I get attacked all day long by people that are jealous of me, jealous of me because I have the biggest show out of anybody in the dissident right, one of the biggest internet shows, period, when it comes to live streaming.
03:01:50.000And that's not supposed to be, you know, it's like whatever, but that's what it is.
03:01:54.000You know, all these alt right people or a lot of people that suddenly have an axe to grind with me, it's because it's the most successful movement.
03:02:03.000On the so called dissident right that exists.
03:02:05.000People like Bronze Age Pervert and Kantbot and Logo and even people like Richard Spencer or JF or James Alsop.
03:02:45.000Jake says, If you had a son and he did not want to go to college but wanted to become an epic, Gamer and political commentator like his father, would you encourage or discourage him from doing so?
03:03:52.000So, you know, what I would want for my kids is something that's Practical and something that's going to maximize their talents and their potential.
03:04:02.000In my case, this is the right way to go.
03:04:41.000But I don't know what I'll want for my kids.
03:04:42.000I guess it'll depend on a lot of variables.
03:04:46.000Big Globe says James Alsop acts like you can't get into the GOP as if this Nibba didn't give a speech at a Trump rally, was president of the CR, and had a position within his local GOP.
03:04:59.000Is people like that are always saying, oh, you know, you guys are trying to infiltrate the GOP.
03:05:04.000And that's not explicitly what we're trying to do or like exclusively what we're trying to do, but we are successfully doing that at every level.
03:05:16.000I feel like I've never said this, but for all the haters and people that don't like us that say, oh, you know, you guys are trying to infiltrate the GOP, good luck with that.
03:05:49.000And, you know, for obvious reasons, I can't get into details, but I will just tell you in a blanket statement Groypers, America Firsters, people that watch this show are present.
03:06:02.000At every level, in every area of the conservative movement, every aspect of it, we have friends.
03:06:11.000And, you know, and like I said, I almost don't even want to say that because the extent of our subversion is going so well.
03:06:22.000And even in the past few years, it has become so successful and is moving ahead at a speed that I thought was impossible.
03:06:31.000You know, and obviously, you know, it's not as simple as infiltrating the GOP, it's about creating a network.
03:06:40.000It's about creating a network of people with resources and influence and know how.
03:06:45.000It's about slowly creating a network that is to a degree independent and self sufficient so that we can affect change from the outside, essentially, from outside the proper beltway or the mainstream.
03:07:05.000You know, you are going to need people from a lot of different fields with a lot of different skill sets.
03:07:12.000With a lot of different jobs and things like that.
03:07:16.000And anyway, I'm not going to explain to you the whole plan and the extent of everything that's happening behind the scenes, but I just should say, just straight up, and I think it's all that needs to be said for anybody that says, oh, you think you're going to do that, we're doing that.
03:07:45.000I mean, we literally are at every level.
03:07:48.000And I started to think to myself, because I feel like only I know the extent of the infiltration because I'm connected to everybody that's infiltrating for the most part.
03:08:16.000That's not even really, that's basically like a straw man because it doesn't constitute really the nature of what we're doing or the extent of what we're doing.
03:08:24.000But if that's going to be it, like, but we're successfully doing that and to great effect.
03:08:46.000If he wasn't making YouTube videos about white nationalism and if he wasn't doing speeches at the Greg Johnson Conference and Amran and whatever, he would have been in the GOP.
03:09:02.000I never tried to become a GOP chair or whatever because my role is different.
03:09:07.000Part of infiltration is that it happens covertly.
03:09:11.000People that announce their intention to subvert typically are not going to be the ones that should be subverting under their own name and face, right?
03:09:19.000So he's like, wait a second, I couldn't rise through the ranks in the GOP with my WN YouTube channel?
03:09:27.000And nobody, that was never the argument.
03:09:29.000The argument is that if you create content, if you create America First content with a palatable message, you can win over people on the inside and you can win over young people who will climb the ladder and they'll start out at the bottom and rise to the top.
03:09:42.000And those people without the fucking YouTube channel will then become the GOP or will then become lawyers or accountants or doctors, whatever it is.
03:09:51.000People with children, respected members of the community, people that are playing close to the chest, and then in 20 years you've got a million man army of America Firsters and Groypers.
03:10:10.000He just does not have the processing power.
03:10:14.000He does not have the mental faculties to even begin to understand what we're doing, much less, you know, effectively be a part of it.
03:10:22.000So, anyway, but why talk about losers?
03:10:26.000Cold Cheese says, Haven't been able to catch a stream this week until now, but I wouldn't have been able to watch the convention if it wasn't for your commentary.
03:10:56.000Wondered if you can think of an ideal or belief to answer other than geographical proximity.
03:11:01.000I can think of nothing I have in common with BLM, Antifa, Democratic Socialist Left.
03:11:06.000Well, and I've said this for a long time.
03:11:10.000The message can never be unity because this country is never going to come together again.
03:11:18.000There are really, realistically, like three options.
03:11:23.000You know, we win and we dominate the other side, they win and they dominate our side, or we separate.
03:11:33.000I mean, when you have a conflict of two large groups of people diametrically opposed, Where there can be no middle ground or consensus or anything, what other options do you have?
03:12:02.000If you understand the premise, which is that you've got these two differentiated sides with mutually exclusive and opposite objectives, you know, it's just about systems.
03:12:13.000How does that system result in, like, you know, peace or cooperation or cohesion?
03:12:20.000You know, this idea that we're all going to bring the country together and unite and rally around the flag, it's not going to happen.
03:12:26.000We can rally our side around a leader, and they can rally their side around a leader.
03:12:32.000In order to do that, they have to make an appeal to the whole nation because it's a part of some people's value system.
03:12:38.000In other words, while it may not be plausible to unite the entire country, it might be necessary, at least in your rhetoric, to make an appeal.
03:12:47.000To the entire country, as though you're trying to unite the entire country, because some people in their value system they value the idea of universality and universal cooperation.
03:12:59.000In other words, you might make a pitch that you're trying to unite the whole country because that will convince people in your own camp that you're worthy of rallying around, but it's only going to convince the people in your camp, in which case it's worthwhile to do.
03:13:13.000But let's not be under any illusions, that's not going to happen.
03:13:16.000You might say that because People like to hear that on both sides, and that makes them more comfortable rallying around a leader.
03:13:24.000But in practice, in effect, it will never happen that both sides will rally around one leader with one set of values because you have, like I said, these two differentiated and distinct groups with opposite objectives.
03:13:39.000It has to be empowering our side against the other side, empowering our institutions and our people against their institutions and their people.
03:15:12.000I think Trump outlines a lot of it, which is shutting down immigration, which is protecting our workers, ending foreign wars, protecting the Second Amendment, and even a step further than that, I think Victor Orban actually laid out something even better.
03:15:31.000In one of his speeches, I think back in 2018, he gave some speech at a college where he laid out the tenets of Christian nationalism.
03:15:41.000And that is the traditional family and specifically fertility rates, pronatal policy, and its immigration restriction.
03:15:48.000It is protecting our strategic resources and protecting the identity of America, protecting the historic identity of the country.
03:15:57.000That will rally the country, or that will rally our side.
03:16:02.000And a lot of it is, you know, you have to understand that politics is about building coalitions of tens of millions of people.
03:16:08.000So, you know, a lot of it is going to have to be sometimes implicit or general or, you know, generic or something like that, but that's okay.
03:19:19.000If you sent it on DLive yesterday, there was a problem.
03:19:22.000But I read all the super chats on my birthday, so I don't know what you're talking about.
03:19:27.000Midnight Based says, Smoke fills the skies and ash falls like rain, which means it's once again time for the fifth annual California Cookoff 2020.
03:19:36.000Which meat will you be preparing, Nick?
03:21:42.000This is an America First administration, yet we recognize the sovereignty over the Golan Heights before we build 100 miles of border wall.
03:21:50.000We call the IRGC a terrorist group before we pull troops out of Iraq.
03:21:55.000We move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem before we get an infrastructure bill.
03:22:00.000We let Bibi Netanyahu go through with the largest expansion of illegal civilian settlements in history before we have some kind of respectable rapprochement with Russia or a trade deal with China.
03:22:15.000And I talked about this extensively last year the illegal spying that the Israelis got busted for over the White House, Sheldon Adelson.
03:22:23.000And his support for the 2016 campaign and the influence it has on the administration.
03:22:29.000You know, in this show, I have done nothing but get heat from people for talking about this.
03:22:35.000Throughout the Groyper Wars, do you know how many people texted me and said, you know, I could support the Groyper's if you just stop talking about Israel?
03:22:43.000This Groyper stuff is great, you just can't talk about Israel.
03:22:46.000I had people come up to me in DC during AFPAC saying, you need to drop the Groyper's and this Israel stuff, or you'll never have a career.
03:23:54.000And she may, and it's a pretty strong Democrat district.
03:23:58.000I think they went 20 points for Clinton at 16, but nevertheless.
03:24:02.000You know, maybe she stands a chance of winning a congressional seat in 2020.
03:24:06.000And, you know, the possibility that she'll be a voice about big tech or that she'll be a voice against mass immigration, those are two things right out of the gate that you could say would be something necessary in Congress.
03:24:20.000You know, are we thrilled with the idea that people like, you know, Ron DeSantis, who's one of the best Republicans in the country on immigration, he also happens to be a hardcore Zionist?
03:24:33.000You know, we have to be able to look at things in a way that is nuanced.
03:24:36.000We have to be able to parse out the good from the bad.
03:24:40.000And some people are incapable of doing that.
03:24:42.000They think that politics is something where your niche interests are going to be totally appealed to.
03:24:52.000Your niche ideology or what you want has to be totally pandered to.
03:24:57.000And if it's not, then we can have nothing.
03:25:48.000I read stuff like that, I just have to roll my eyes, really?
03:25:51.000You know, it's like some dissident right winger who's been totally blacklisted, who, you know, handcuffed herself to Twitter headquarters and is, you know, has been on, literally has been on this show.
03:26:02.000She's literally been on this show and gives me a hug.
03:26:06.000And the media says, Nick's anti Semitic.
03:27:14.000You know, you do an interview, and the interview could be an hour or two hours, and then they edit it however they like with whatever context, music, narration, whatever parts of it they want.
03:27:25.000You know, so I don't know if you thought about that for two seconds or not.
03:27:31.000Fred Groifson says, not wearing a nun, not wearing a habit, proceeds to talk about Abrahamic traditions.
03:29:12.000You know, it's like I don't even know how many years into hell world and people are still dramatic.
03:29:20.000In a nation where, in a society where, you know, in a society where, you know, I don't get an equal amount of chocolate chips in every chocolate chip cookie.
03:31:40.000I would probably say Martin Luther because he's had a much worse effect.
03:31:46.000R.A. says, What you said about the group chat being the last safe space for the bros feels so true right now during this convention.
03:31:53.000Nibbus will post stale memes about games for days, but edgy jokes about Biden and everyone loved just a few weeks ago are now met with radio silence.
03:32:03.000Not trying to sound like Jocko, but this total pussification is cancer.
03:32:07.000It's not pussification entirely, although that is true.
03:32:12.000But it's like this constant shucking and jiving for women, which is what it is.
03:32:18.000You know, women in the group chat is just.
03:32:24.000You know, there is a component of being a man which is like legitimately having reason.
03:32:32.000And that means not, you know, not processing things with emotions, but processing things with your faculties, with your reason, which women are almost incapable of doing for the most part.
03:32:43.000In other words, when you hear something that's insensitive or something, I mean, you process it logically with reason, you know?
03:32:50.000You can approach it from a variety of different angles and many of them impersonal.
03:32:56.000And women are almost totally incapable of doing that.
03:33:00.000And men who are trying to appeal to women don't do that.
03:33:03.000You know, so you have to have the male only space where just men, where men can be men.
03:35:01.000You know, to really discuss what it means to be a man and sort of what animates a man, the more sort of primitive aspects of it, you just can't talk about anymore.
03:35:12.000Certain things which I don't want to talk about.
03:35:15.000You know, like to some extent, being a man is having it in you to like slit somebody's throat, you know, or bludgeon somebody to death with a rock or something like that.
03:35:26.000And I'm not saying that in like a macho, tough way.
03:35:30.000I'm saying that in a way like not having the, not being so socialized that something like that you would respond like, ew, you know, or something like that.
03:35:42.000And even when it comes to women, you know, the proper way that a man should regard a woman is, is, You know, something more than chauvinism, okay?
03:35:54.000Not in a way that's like abusive, but that's like, to me, the natural masculine dynamic.
03:36:02.000What you have now is this sort of like girly, romantic, respectful, you know, and there's like nothing that is properly like masculine or manly about that.
03:36:13.000That's like a guy, you know, you're a guy.
03:38:25.000Jesse Winfrey says, the three stooges were Jewish, were they?
03:38:30.000Yamato Empress says, Nick, why are you carrying the entire white race on your back when Rudyard Kipling was the one who was supposed to do that job?
03:41:40.000I said, You'll never guess what Paul Gottfried said to me.
03:41:44.000He said, After 40 years of fighting these conning cockroaches who've ruined my life, I think I'm finally starting to hate them more than you.
03:41:55.000And somebody said, I'm like, What did he mean by this?
03:44:21.000A lot of political entertainment or political like art is topical, it's policy, it's current events.
03:44:29.000And the philosophy that is the foundation for those things is timeless and is expressed in ways that are personal and relatable and transcendent and universal.
03:44:43.000And it's those aspects of it that art has to capture.
03:44:47.000In other words, you know, you can't make a movie about.
03:44:54.000But you can make a movie about how family is fulfilling.
03:44:59.000And you can make a movie about, you know, who knows what, but about relationships and the relationship of a child and his mother, a child and his father, and, you know, the meaning that's inside of that, you know, the intrinsic meaning in that, or the sanctity of that.
03:45:17.000You can make a movie where the theme is that, but the plot is not that.
03:46:05.000But it's implicit in, you know, white men being the first order.
03:46:10.000And the hero is a girl Jedi and a black stormtrooper and some Asian girl and some fag, you know?
03:46:18.000And like, and it's a story about freedom loving, you know, equality loving, excuse me, ragtag youthful democratic rebels against an autocratic white empire.
03:46:30.000You know, it's like, That's how you have to think about it.
03:46:34.000Some people don't possess that higher level thinking, though.
03:46:41.000But an artist, you know, that's what makes somebody an artist that translation of a message into a sort of universal medium, which is, you know, in other words, people can look at a painting or listen to music or watch a movie and it evokes, and it, you know, it's like targeted, it evokes an emotion or a Complex feeling, a complex sort of reaction,
03:47:11.000and you know that that is the skill of the artist.
03:47:14.000It's a trend, is to you know create something through the artistic medium to evoke those things.
03:47:21.000Anybody like me, anybody can just say, like, here's the way it is, here's the deal.
03:47:26.000Maybe not anybody could do that, but it's a different skill set, it's a totally different skill set.
03:47:30.000I don't have that like artistic ability, you know.
03:47:40.000Yamato says, even though America is one of the most racially diverse countries in the world, the amount of racial diversity in these ads is so forced, it's impossible to not notice that it's artificially manufactured.
03:47:56.000It's impossible for this to be natural.
03:47:59.000Well, in the future, maybe that's not the case, but certainly for now it is.
03:48:05.000R.A. says, L.M.A.O., bruh, Hunter Biden sleeps with his dead brother's widow and they went public with the relationship right after the funeral and quietly broke up in April around when Biden announced his run.
03:48:16.000Also, he allegedly did some stuff that Kathy Zhu likes.
03:50:41.000Governments, money, press, television, all these things you say are against us.
03:50:45.000And you're right, and I don't underrate them, but I don't despair, and you shouldn't either, because you, like I, have read a thing of history.
03:51:55.000I don't know the exact days, but I know that the national file, the official event was in between the Alex Jones event and the AFPAC event.
03:52:04.000And I wasn't invited to speak there for whatever reason.
03:52:08.000No shade, but I just wasn't invited to speak.
03:52:11.000And I was actually relieved because I said, you know.
03:52:14.000I gotta speak at this thing and this other thing.
03:52:16.000I was like, I kinda just wanna mingle or whatever.
03:52:19.000So they had this big national file event, and Gav McGinnis was there, and Owen Schreuer was there, and, you know, all the usual suspects were there.
03:52:30.000And again, not a diss to anybody, but nobody was really paying attention to the speeches.
03:52:37.000There were maybe, I don't know, 100, 200 people there, and everybody was mingling, eating hors d'oeuvres, and, you know, there was a cash bar and whatever.
03:52:48.000You know, people were giving speeches.
03:52:50.000Nobody was really paying attention, though, to the stage because everybody was just kind of, it was this nighttime event, so nobody was really seated.
03:53:34.000And I start speaking, and the whole room is just silent.
03:53:38.000You know, all of a sudden, everybody's listening.
03:53:41.000And I'm giving the speech, and I'm, you know, and I'm getting fired up totally off the cuff.
03:53:46.000You know, I'm just, it was like a rally, you know?
03:53:50.000But the crowd is electric, and I'm talking about, that's where my intro music comes from when I say, You know, it's not cool to shill for big business.
03:54:01.000It's not cool to shill for Israel, you know?
03:54:05.000And then I had that line where I said, But what did I say?
03:54:09.000We're gonna go and we're gonna, whether we win or we lose, we're gonna take the Koch Brother funded machine and smash it into so many pieces.
03:55:20.000All people I know, Groypers and whatnot, just mobbing the entire, that like, you know, five block area where the convention is.
03:55:30.000I remember there was like a parade of us walking down the street, and Alex Sears, that gay little rider from Daily Wire, He passed by, and you know, we were walking towards the convention center, and he just sort of like passed by.
03:55:44.000He literally had to get on the street and walk next to us because we were taking up the whole sidewalk.
03:55:50.000I turned and I said, Wait a minute, is that Alex Sears?
03:55:53.000Because that guy got me kicked out last year.
03:55:56.000He saw me in the exhibition hall, and he told the security guard, That's Nick Felentz, he shouldn't be here.
03:56:03.000So I turned, he didn't even put his head down, and he kind of like slinked away out of the street.
03:56:09.000I turned around and I said, Hey, is that Alex Sears?
03:56:47.000And what's very real is when they feel us in person, when they feel the energy, you know, they feel the zealotry, belief of the Groypers in America First.
03:56:59.000Don't notice me, don't look at me, what will happen to me?
04:00:34.0001,000 miles of that is natural barriers.
04:00:36.000So, out of the thousand that he promised to build a wall for, 300 miles had been built.
04:00:42.000300 miles are under construction, 300 additional miles, and there's money allocated for another 150 miles on top of that.
04:00:52.000That's where we are with the border wall.
04:00:54.000He said that in the coming weeks, we could be looking at taxing remittances from Mexico to pay for it.
04:01:02.000He says that by the election, we're going to have 400 miles of wall built, that we're going to tax remittances, pull out of Afghanistan, pull out of Iraq.
04:01:11.000And who knows, you know, the promised stuff, we cannot count our eggs before they hatch.
04:01:16.000We cannot count our eggs before they hatch.
04:01:18.000But given that so much has been done in the past few months, it seems much more likely.
04:01:24.000Because in the past few months, think about what we've gotten.
04:01:26.000We've gotten an executive order which cuts these temporary work visas off almost completely, closed off the borders, north and south almost completely, cut green cards substantially.
04:01:39.000That's all been done in the past few months.
04:01:41.000We've gotten economic stimulus, and maybe not as good as it could have been, but we've gotten it.
04:01:46.000Legal immigration has been cut in half.
04:01:49.000We're moving ahead with 10 miles per day.
04:02:33.000Like, I mean, a lot has happened in the past few months.
04:02:36.000The presence in Afghanistan is already down to 8,000 troops.
04:02:41.000With what the past three months have looked like, I think it's within the realm of possibility that you'll get remittances taxed and troops are drawn by the election.
04:04:04.000Minnesota, I saw a poll today that said they were tied in Minnesota.
04:04:09.000So the thing is, Trump has to win, you know, the usual Republican states, plus the swing states of Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, and Iowa, which I think he's on track to win, plus obviously Georgia, Texas.
04:04:29.000And then all he has to win on top of that is one Midwestern state.
04:04:33.000And Arizona, I don't believe, is going to go blue.
04:04:35.000Florida, North Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana, I don't think they're going to go blue.
04:04:41.000So, with all that in mind, he only needs to win either Pennsylvania or Michigan or Wisconsin or Minnesota.
04:04:53.000So, the odds that he loses all four, I think, is unlikely.
04:04:58.000That's why I think he's got a good chance because he demonstrated in 16 what was possible.
04:05:03.000And who knows, maybe he'll have the same states that he had in 16 in 2020, but at the bare minimum, you have to expect that he'll have that base.
04:05:14.000And then the Midwestern states, he's only got to retain one to win.
04:05:18.000So, thinking about it that way, I'm more confident in his chances.
04:08:05.000If he wins in 2020, it'll be political violence, no doubt.
04:08:09.000It'll probably be like Portland in every major city.
04:08:12.000R.A. says Nothing captures the feeling of creeping dread better than seeing Nick get frustrated with super chatters early in the show and then realizing he's getting closer to your own super chat.
04:08:23.000It's like being the guy in The Sopranos who runs the bar at Tony's Club and randomly gets beaten by Tony.
04:08:28.000Yeah, it is like that television show.
04:08:30.000But yeah, I can only imagine the dread of a super chat of the nose.
04:08:35.000I'm in a bad mood and I'm approaching your chat.
04:08:39.000Amazing Llama says, Thanks for the show.
