00:00:19.000The boomer generation and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
00:00:23.000Americanism, not globalism, will be our freedom!
00:19:27.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Wednesday for a normal show.
00:19:32.000I know yesterday we were watching the Trump rally.
00:19:36.000Had a little bit of technical difficulties.
00:19:38.000I know a lot of people said they didn't mind the lag, but it was deeply concerning for me.
00:19:43.000So last night was a very disappointing show.
00:19:45.000Last night, very frustrating show, not happy.
00:19:48.000But tonight, but tonight, I'm actually excited to be back.
00:19:53.000Yesterday was sad, disappointing, discouraging, but tonight is epic, based, white pill.
00:19:59.000We got big white pills we're talking about tonight.
00:20:01.000Our feature story will be about the Black Reparations Hearing, which is being held in the House Judiciary Committee today.
00:20:08.000That'll be our big story and, you know, we're gonna give our opinion about that.
00:20:12.000And of course, we have to affirm tonight that we are believers in total equality, just in case that's ambiguous, in case anybody's wondering.
00:20:21.000Have to affirm at the top of the show, we are campus conservatives, Afro-Latinos.
00:20:29.000Now that said, we're going to be talking about reparations and the interesting thing about reparations is it's actually not equal because some people get paid the money and other people have to pay the money.
00:20:41.000So, as believers in total equality, we have to point out some problems with this proposal.
00:20:50.000It was a very heated conversation in Congress today.
00:20:54.000They had actors, athletes, activists, politicians, all kinds of people all there to discuss the great and the big question, how much more money?
00:21:05.000How much more can we do to the freed slaves?
00:21:09.000And a very important conversation to be had on Juneteenth of all days.
00:21:14.000I never heard of this holiday before, but apparently today is something they call Juneteenth.
00:23:14.000The 1965, the 1990 Immigration Acts, tomorrow.
00:23:18.000If they did it yesterday, and they did everything that isn't even feasible politically, it still wouldn't be enough.
00:23:24.000Like, understand, we'd still be in roughly the same boat maybe ten years later.
00:23:29.000Then we're already headed for with the current immigration program.
00:23:33.000So the priority right now is the free internet.
00:23:35.000The priority right now is to maintain our ability to speak freely, share our ideas, network, raise money online to build an infrastructure which can talk about these issues, spread them, maybe there'll be some kind of political solution in the future with the relevant facts in mind.
00:23:51.000To that end, we have said that the number one way to beat tech censorship
00:23:58.000For people that don't know, little reviewer again, we've talked about this many times, but Section 230 is an amendment to the 1996 Communications Decency Act.
00:24:08.000And what Section 230 says, and we've been over this many times, so forgive me if you've heard this before,
00:24:14.000But Section 230 basically says that insofar as a platform is neutral, they get legal immunity from all kinds of problems.
00:24:22.000It spares them from a lot of legal challenges that would arise from being such massive platforms where crimes are committed or they use the platform as an accessory in a crime or something like that.
00:24:33.000So again, Section 230 says insofar as they are politically neutral, insofar as they are not publishers, they get this blanket legal immunity, which is a great deal.
00:24:43.000Josh Hawley's bill, which he introduced to the Senate today, basically destroys that, blows it up, and it's genius.
00:24:53.000Basically, these companies don't have the immunity anymore.
00:24:57.000However, they can apply to the FCC to keep their immunity from Section 230, so long as they disclose all of their processes pertaining to banning, suspension, shadow banning, things like this.
00:25:11.000In other words, if they go to the FCC and confirm
00:25:14.000And they get the government to confirm that they are being politically neutral and not being biased against conservatives, then they retain the immunity.
00:25:22.000Otherwise, they don't get the immunity and their business model is destroyed.
00:25:27.000Additionally, this is a third part, which is genius.
00:25:29.000The first part is the immunity goes away.
00:25:31.000The second part is, well, they can't apply for it if they disclose their processes.
00:25:36.000The third part, which is perhaps the best part, is that it's totally dependent on
00:28:07.000I've had fun engaging with the posts there.
00:28:10.000And like I said, we'll see how it goes.
00:28:11.000I don't imagine we'll be on there for very long.
00:28:14.000I don't imagine that, you know, they'll allow the Nicker Nation to grow much farther than it already has because Reddit is maybe the most paused out of all.
00:28:39.000So we're on Reddit, and that's our Nicker Nation for people who want to join, and also I started today a Telegram channel, and this is something which a lot of people are jumping on board after the Facebook purge, you remember?
00:28:52.000I was in late May, I believe, when Alex Jones, Loomer, Milo, Paul Joseph Watson, a few others all got canned from Facebook, and they all went on Telegram, because the last, like, refuge that they had was Instagram and Facebook.
00:29:06.000So they all started Telegram channels.
00:29:28.000I don't know, I mean, I'm on so many social media, it's such a hassle to keep up with all of it.
00:29:32.000I'll probably be posting things on there that I don't want to put on Twitter.
00:29:35.000I'll probably be posting things on there that are less ironic, a little bit more serious, or less consequential, less important, so it should be fun.
00:29:44.000And in any case, that'll be a backup in case everything goes down.
00:29:47.000That'll be the reserve for the Knicker Nation in case we get kicked off.
00:29:52.000Again, knock on wood, we've been okay so far, but that'll be the place that you can go for updates, things like that.
00:29:58.000I'll be posting updates about everything for the show there, so do check that out.
00:30:02.000And with that out of the way, that's just some housekeeping things, just some more ways you can keep up with the life of Nick, with
00:30:39.000You know, I decided to leave it up because people always complain if I take things down, but it was just painful to watch, and I know a lot of people felt the same way.
00:30:48.000I talked to a lot of people, civilian-type people who aren't really into politics.
00:30:52.000I talked to my friends in DC, and really the reaction was uniform.
00:31:24.000And to me, the biggest problem with the rally was just the loss of focus.
00:31:29.000You know, as I really sat back after the show and thought about it, and I was thinking about it today...
00:31:34.000To me, what was most striking about the rally is that the message was literally no different than any other Republican who might be running.
00:31:42.000Who might have been running in 16, or if they won in 16, might be running in 2020.
00:31:46.000It would be no different than Marco Rubio, no different than Donald Trump.
00:31:54.000In the first place, if you remember the 2016 campaign announcement, it was about how we were getting killed on trade and on foreign policy and on immigration.
00:32:04.000And if you remember, in the days after his campaign announcement, which was, again, almost four years to the date, 2015, I forget the exact date, but it was in June,
00:33:19.000Flanderization refers to the character Flanders from The Simpsons, and it describes when a character in a television show starts out as maybe funny or quirky or notable or something, but soon their quirks, their notable characteristics become a caricature, cartoonish, which I guess makes sense for something like The Simpsons, but to the point where it's so exaggerated it lost
00:33:43.000Any sort of magic that it had originally.
00:33:45.000I feel the same has happened with Donald Trump.
00:33:47.000When he announced in 2015, there was this charm about it.
00:33:54.000But at the end of the day, it was about the issues.
00:33:56.000It was about making America great again.
00:33:59.000To me, the campaign last night had all of this sort of goofy, silly, obnoxious Trump character, but without the substance.
00:34:07.000Additionally, it was all revolving around Trump, Make America Great Again, this limited universe talking about the 33,000 emails, and the debates, and the 2016 campaign.
00:34:18.000It was like this totally self-contained universe.
00:34:21.000And so to me, I saw that rally last night, and I know I beat the hell out of it yesterday.
00:34:28.000The five MAGA-pedes that are still around, who are still unironic Trump worshippers, watching the show or on Twitter, were not happy about it.
00:34:37.000And I beat it up last night, but the more that I think about it over the last 24 hours, the more I realize it's the Democrats' race to lose.
00:34:48.000They say that's blackmailing, but from what I saw last night, that display, that presentation, it did not get rid of any of my concerns that I had going into the 2020 election.
00:34:58.000So, and like I said last night, who knows?
00:37:10.000The CDA protects online platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube from liability for the content users post.
00:37:16.000However, companies will be able to earn immunity from the crackdown if they submit to audits every two years to prove their algorithms and content removal practices are politically neutral.
00:38:17.000You know, so he's really a one to watch.
00:38:20.000So he says that they're getting a sweetheart deal.
00:38:22.000They're exempt from traditional publisher liability.
00:38:25.000Only companies with more than 30 million active monthly users in America, more than 300 million active monthly users worldwide, or more than 500 million dollars in global annual revenue would have to comply.
00:38:36.000That's only Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, the like.
00:38:53.000The article says, however, these companies could earn immunity through external audits wherein they would have to prove to the Federal Trade Commission their algorithms and content removal practices are politically neutral.
00:39:05.000Immunity certification would require a supermajority vote by the FTC.
00:39:10.000Companies would have to reapply every two years.
00:40:21.000They could only re-earn it if they go to the FTC and they prove
00:40:26.000This is what it's about, that they're not targeting conservatives.
00:40:29.000They have to go and, you know, one example would be YouTube would have to go to the FTC and explain and show their process for content removal, for banning, for suspensions, demonetization, and they'll have to prove and get a supermajority in the FTC to approve them that they're not exhibiting political bias, that they didn't go after Steven Crowder because he's a conservative.
00:40:49.000And this is huge, because the biggest problem to me is we all know that there's a double standard going on.
00:40:55.000We all know that they're targeting conservatives.
00:40:58.000It's been demonstrated time and time again, as much as the left likes to deny it, as much as they like to pretend, oh, they took out Louis Farrakhan.
00:41:06.000You know, they took out 10 different conservatives off Facebook, but oh, they also took out Louis Farrakhan also, so it's equal.
00:41:13.000You know, our Twitter will take out all the blue check marks on the right, they'll take out all the major conservative accounts, shadowban everybody on the right, but they take out like two Antifa accounts and it's equal, right?
00:41:24.000So we all know that there's a double standard.
00:41:43.000Instead of just complaining about it, we could submit that to the FTC and they could get their immunity removed and their company is out of business.
00:42:55.000It says, Americans for Prosperity, a policy group funded by the Koch family, the Koch brothers, issued a statement this week in anticipation of the bill saying, quote, eroding the crucial protections that exist under Section 230 creates a scenario where government has the ability to police your speech and determine what you can or cannot say online.
00:43:18.000Senator Hawley has argued that some tech platforms have become too powerful, but legislation like this would only cement the market dominance of today's largest firms.
00:43:37.000Americans for Prosperity, Koch brother founded and funded organization, which is ostensibly people say conservative because they're libertarian, right?
00:43:46.000Additionally, do you know who runs American for Prosperity?
00:43:49.000Americans for Prosperity, that activist group.
00:43:52.000A man by the name of Timothy Phillips, father of Cabot Phillips, who is a bigwig at Campus Reform, which is a part of Leadership Institute and Turning Point USA and all these other groups.
00:44:16.000I mean this makes sure that the right wing, that American nationalism, all these sort of dissident movements going against the status quo are maintained in perpetuity.
00:44:25.000Their ability to share content online, to utilize mass communication, mass media to push our message,
00:44:32.000Decentralized, we don't have to get on network television or radio show or major print publication to get it out there.
00:44:38.000So understand at once, we know that this is huge.
00:44:43.000And then on top of that, which is beautiful, by virtue of us knowing that this is the best thing that can happen, we see by who is opposing it, who our enemies are.
00:44:51.000And this should remind you, if you're a part of Turning Point, you're a part of Campus Reform, any one of these groups,
00:45:22.000You know, you have dissident right-wing people, previously alt-right people in like 2016.
00:45:27.000Who would utilize College Republican Campus Charter or Young Americans for Liberty Campus Group or whatever might utilize that as a vehicle to mobilize support for their preferred ideology.
00:45:41.000You can kind of make it what you want and that's fine, but you should never forget Turning Point USA, Campus Reform, all these different groups, Americans for Prosperity, the RNC, you know, all these different groups, they are against you.
00:46:40.000Our job is to go in all these different controlled opposition groups and rip them to pieces.
00:46:45.000And you know, maybe there's stuff that's salvageable, right?
00:46:48.000Maybe there's infrastructure, donors, people that are salvageable.
00:46:52.000But right now, my mission in 2019, our mission has to be to search out and find
00:46:57.000A Koch brother funded organization like Americans for Prosperity and say you're not funding this bill, or rather you're not backing this bill, you're opposing this bill.
00:47:05.000They say they're going to back establishment Democrats in 2020.
00:47:10.000You're our enemy and we have to fight you tooth and nail now.
00:47:12.000We're going to do everything in our power.
00:47:14.000And the beautiful thing is, somebody like me, we're not tethered to the system.
00:47:22.000They rely on people who have a lot to lose.
00:47:25.000Somebody who is inside the system really cannot oppose the system because the minute that they step outside of the lines that were created by the big business or the lobby or whatever, well they get fired.
00:47:37.000They get disposed of very quickly and they're untouchable and
00:47:40.000You know, they don't have anywhere to go.
00:47:41.000But now that we're building up the Knicker Nation and you see some other institutions that are being built up, things like American Renaissance, VDARE, American Identity Movement, people that have been living and thriving on the outside, on the margins, you know, in the dark alleyways of conservative media or in the conservative movement, we can actually do a lot of damage because we're already radioactive.
00:48:32.000And so that should be encouraging, I think, to a lot of people that say the boomer Trump campaign, it kind of ties into what we were saying at the top of the show about the Trump rally.
00:48:41.000Which is that a lot of people have this feeling that Trump is sunsetting.
00:48:45.000Either he won't win re-election or if he does, that magic, that spirit of 16, that insurgent energy, focus on the issues is gone and therefore with him dies our prospects in politics.
00:48:58.000With him dies our prospects to have any kind of a future getting elected office or making any kind of substantive change within government.
00:49:06.000I think Josh Hawley proves that that's not true.
00:49:15.000Josh Hawley doesn't get out of office until 2024, or rather won't be up for re-election then.
00:49:20.000And so I look across the board, even people like Mike Braun in Indiana, and all the new senators and congressmen that have cropped up, not all of them, but a good number of the new class of congressmen that was elected on the Republican side in 18, they're a lot more based than the people that left.
00:49:35.000You know, I've said it before, I'll say it again,
00:49:47.000So what represents the people that are being left behind is cucks, sellouts, big business shills, neocon, Israeli first shills, and the new class.
00:49:55.000Josh Hawley, Mike Braun, people like this, people like Matt Gaetz in Florida.
00:50:00.000These people are more based in Red Pill than Trump, and not only are they more based in Red Pill, Ron DeSantis, they're more competent, they're more well-spoken, they're able to articulate an alternative vision, not just for America, but for conservatism.
00:50:13.000So I see this bill, and maybe that should give you a white pill.
00:50:15.000People always telling me, Nick, the show's gotten too depressing.
00:50:48.000How did most people watching this show come to their current views?
00:50:52.000How did you come to your views that you would even be able to watch a show like this?
00:50:56.000Most people, I imagine, 10 years ago, myself included, would watch a show like this, where we make the kind of jokes that we do, and we raise the kind of issues that we do, and talk about the certain facts that we do, and they'd immediately be offended.
00:52:01.000And I don't like to use that phrase, it's a little tired, but it is true.
00:52:04.000And so we have this possibility that we could lose all future generations because they control the means of dispersing and creating information.
00:52:13.000If we secure the internet, if we secure a future for the internet and, you know, children being on 4chan, well then we don't have that problem.
00:52:21.000Then at least we are able to create some form of a resistance.
00:52:25.000There will be some beacon of light and
00:52:27.000Maybe it's shadow banned, maybe it's hard to find, maybe it's not as big as John Oliver and Joe Rogan and all these other people, but it'll be there!
00:52:35.000And if you're looking for it, you'll find it!
00:52:36.000And if you'll find it, you'll be in the cause, and you'll be with us, and the cause doesn't die.
00:52:41.000So that's why this stuff is so critical, it's so important.
00:53:01.000The capacity to create the movement that we need, if you understand.
00:53:05.000So, I cannot tell you how big of a white pill that is.
00:53:08.000Hopefully it gets passed, or better yet, even if it doesn't get passed, hopefully by virtue of us threatening this, this will create a deterrent to implement abusive policies in the future on the part of YouTube, Facebook, others.
00:53:21.000You know, Hawley introduced that bill about YouTube's algorithms for recommending videos including children.
00:53:27.000You remember we talked about this a few weeks ago.
00:53:30.000I don't even think it passed, but by virtue of that being in the Senate and Hawley talking about it and raising awareness about the issue, YouTube is already changing their algorithms without the law even having
00:53:42.000It's not a black pill in the sense that it makes you depressed.
00:53:44.000It's not a black pill in the sense that
00:54:07.000It's something that weighs heavily on your soul and makes you miserable.
00:54:11.000It's a black pill in a bit of a different way.
00:54:13.000And so we're talking tonight about this debate over slavery reparations that was had in the House Judiciary Committee today.
00:54:20.000And I'll read you a little excerpt here.
00:54:24.000Give you a little background about it.
00:54:27.000The question of slavery reparations for black Americans was the subject of a fiery and emotional House Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday as Democrats called for measures to address America's original sin, while Republicans described such payments as an injustice and almost certainly unconstitutional.
00:54:45.000I love how Republicans' objection to reparations from slavery is the Constitution.
00:55:03.000It says, the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Subcommittee held the hearing on H.R.
00:55:08.00040, a bill by Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democrat from Texas, to set up a commission to study and develop a response to the question of reparations for slavery.
00:55:19.000So we do have to acknowledge it's not a bill that would create reparations.
00:55:22.000It's just a subcommittee just simply to study the idea that we could have reparations for slavery.
00:55:29.000There were some people who were speaking out against this.
00:55:37.000Collette writer Coleman Hughes said that while he believed the failure to pay reparations directly to freed slaves after the Civil War to be one of the greatest injustices ever perpetrated by the U.S.
00:55:48.000government, he asked whether, quote, our desire to fix the past compromises our ability to fix the present.
00:55:54.000He says, quote, Black people don't need another apology.
00:55:57.000We need safer neighborhoods and better schools.
00:55:59.000We need a less punitive criminal justice system.
00:56:02.000None of these things can be achieved with reparations for slavery.
00:56:06.000Representative Jerry Nadler said that, quote, most serious reparations models proposed to date have focused on restorative community-based programs of employment, health care, housing, and education initiatives.
00:56:17.000Writing wrongs that cannot be fixed by checks alone.
00:56:20.000The New York Times cited estimates by experts that said that reparation policies could cost several trillion dollars.
00:56:27.000And you know, to me it's pretty fascinating about this whole conversation, the whole debate.
00:57:13.000Nobody watching the show has owned slaves.
00:57:16.000No black person alive has been a slave, right?
00:57:19.000So why should that be our responsibility?
00:57:22.000Going beyond that, for people to describe collective responsibility to America, this was one of the arguments made by one of the activists,
00:57:30.000At the hearing today they said, well, I think it was Todd Nahizi Coates, I don't know how to pronounce this goofy name from the Atlantic, but he said something to the effect that, well, in America we have the social contract and while you might not be individually responsible, we are collectively responsible because of the Constitution or, I don't know, America.
00:57:49.000Give, give me, give me money because give me money, right?
00:58:06.000However, the descendants of slaves, or rather the slaves' ancestors, or black people's ancestors who were slaves, were victimized by the government, oppressed by the government.
00:58:16.000The government, as this sort of collective construct, is on the hook for the reparations.
00:58:41.000It's only when we do bad things, only when it's slavery or, you know, hate crimes and things like that, but it never goes in the other direction of Western medicine, philosophy, mathematics, landing on the moon, you know, things like this, things of this nature.
00:58:53.000So, I don't know, as long as we're talking about collective responsibility for wrongdoing, why don't we talk about collective responsibility for innovation?
00:59:01.000Why don't we talk about collective responsibility for discovery?
00:59:05.000For charity, for all these other things.
00:59:08.000I don't think there's any other nation in the history of the world as charitable as America.
00:59:14.000What other empires in the history of the world voluntarily gave up their empires to movements that declared sovereignty for their own nations?
01:01:06.000If you do talk about what's good for white people, on either side you're condemned as a white nationalist, a white supremacist, a neo-Nazi.
01:01:14.000We can't talk about what's good for white people.
01:01:16.000We white people cannot be self-interested political actors.
01:01:20.000The very idea of us expressing a racial self-interest, even the idea of a white racial self-interest, the words sound reprehensible, inappropriate, toxic in a political environment for a white person to say, I am white and I want this as a white man.
01:01:37.000And it's funny because people say, well, that's because the white race doesn't exist.
01:01:41.000This is the argument we hear from a lot of, you know, certain people in media, certain, you know, what kind of people in media.
01:01:47.000They'll say, well, white people don't exist, or white people don't need this, or white people, everybody should give it up.
01:01:54.000And I find it fascinating because by virtue of, I think, black people talking in these terms, they've almost created a white identity, right?
01:02:02.000For all the people to think that, well, I don't know, this concept of white identity politics
01:02:06.000It's a little silly or it's artificial or something.
01:02:09.000We've had E. Michael Jones on the show and he's contested the idea of a white identity.
01:02:14.000Well, they've created the idea of white identity in a negative propositional sense.
01:02:20.000When blacks are demanding reparations, are they demanding them from WASPs?
01:02:25.000Will you ever hear a black writer at the Atlantic say that, well, the only people that are going to be paying the tax for reparations are people descended from the Mayflower?
01:02:34.000Or from the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria?
01:03:20.000Either everybody gets to play this way, or nobody gets to play this way.
01:03:25.000Either everybody gets to say, this is good for black people, this is good for Mexicans, this is good for white people, and I would be fine with that, honestly.
01:03:32.000I think that's the only way a multiracial country can govern itself, if you want to know the truth.
01:03:48.000But I'm getting really tired of this double standard, this expectation that white people are supposed to think in terms of this post-historical, post-racial mentality that, well, we have given up our ancestry.
01:04:01.000And I talk to a lot of my peers, or a lot of people online even,
01:04:04.000Who cares if the white race goes away?
01:04:06.000Who cares if white people are on the decline in the country?
01:04:27.000You know, you just look what happened with Jussie Smollett.
01:04:29.000You look at what happened with those cops in Tennessee.
01:04:33.000In Memphis, we talked about the story last week, where you had somebody who had an armed car robbery, rammed his car into police officers, and the whole community was rioting against the police for shooting this individual.
01:05:18.000So, we can take this to its logical conclusion and show how it's absurd, but to me, even having the conversation shows you what's wrong with the country, why this is not going to work.
01:05:29.000And you have to ask yourself, where does it end?
01:06:06.000Colman Hughes, who conservatives might hold up and say, well, here's somebody reasonable where he says this, uh, this fixation on the past compromises our ability to fix the present and this kind of stuff.
01:06:18.000Well, they're still saying things like, well, we need, we still need programs.
01:07:00.000Why is there still this fixation on slavery, reparations, all this kind of stuff?
01:07:05.000The problem that nobody wants to talk about, and deep down the root of all this, is the problem with the fact that blacks are not excelling in this society.
01:07:52.000This is the rest of the life of the United States of America, explaining away these disparities in a multiracial country.
01:07:58.000Because you're going to have a lot of people from a lot of different places, and they're all going to have beef about, why are we not right here?
01:08:06.000Well, why are they doing better than us?
01:08:10.000It's a free country, inequality, lots of groups, this is the inevitable result.
01:08:14.000And unless and until we can get some kind of a handle on this, unless and until we can find some explanation or we can find some program or some policy that deals with this underlying reality which is tribalism, envy, inequality, this country is going to go to hell very quickly.
01:08:30.000Because I'll tell you what, reparations are not going to solve the problem.
01:08:34.000Does anybody really believe that if we just said, you know what, we will sign on to the maximum reparations program, find me the most radical black activist, the most radical reparations proposal, the biggest check, the biggest sum of money, the biggest government program, we'll sign it.
01:08:50.000Does anybody really believe, does anybody really believe that in 50 or 100 years or anytime soon, that this gap is going to narrow enough that we're going to hear the end of it?
01:09:03.000And so, really, it's just this bottomless pit, this vacuum, which does not end in any other way than, I guess, the slavery of the white man, in a way.
01:09:11.000I mean, what does a reparation look like?
01:09:35.000Well, I mean, in some cases they were brought, but, you know, in many cases with immigrants or recent arrivals, you know, people that came here or they were brought here and stayed and you're here and you're in it.
01:09:45.000And so you either like the way it is, and this is the way it goes, or maybe you should just find somewhere else to live.
01:09:51.000Because, you know, I'll tell you, there's a place where there's no redlining.
01:09:54.000There's a place where there's no predatory loan practices.
01:09:58.000There's a place where there's no systemic racism, mass incarceration.
01:10:14.000We have to figure out how to all get along together because no other solution is tolerated in public discourse, right?
01:10:21.000Insofar as this is the demographic reality, and insofar as the political conversation is not ready for certain other proposals,
01:10:31.000The reality right now is that we have to figure out how we're going to bring together a nation of 60% whites, 14% blacks, 20% Hispanics, 7% Asians, whatever the numbers are.
01:10:41.000We're going to have to figure out how are we all going to live together.
01:10:45.000This kind of racial animosity, injustice...
01:10:48.000You know, grievance politics, this is a path to things getting out of control very quickly.
01:10:53.000And so I'm saying this as somebody, I'm not saying this as anything other than a warning to people.
01:10:58.000You know, I do not shoot the messenger here.
01:11:00.000I am coming before you humbly, humble mug merchant, and I am here to tell you that unless and until people are comfortable talking about uncomfortable truths and uncomfortable facts,
01:11:27.000It's also funny, I see this and it's so funny because you see Donald Trump in the re-election rally and his entire re-election bid has been about winning over blacks and Hispanics and so a little bit of an auxiliary note there, a little bit of a tertiary note there.
01:11:43.000Is that Republicans trying to vie for non-white votes?
01:11:47.000I think it's absurd when you look at stuff like this, right?
01:11:50.000How do you win the black vote when we're promising like this sort of milquetoast criminal justice reform and the Democrats are promising reparations?
01:11:58.000Democrats are literally promising free money.
01:12:01.000So that's a little bit of like a post script there.
01:12:03.000That's a little bit of a addendum there to this whole story about identity politics.
01:12:08.000What a tough thing it is for the country and how we have to choose sides.
01:12:11.000But beyond that, Republicans trying to pander and do this, we all salute the same flag, we all believe in the same God, you know, except for when we don't.
01:12:20.000You'll never be able to compete unless you're willing to offer a bigger check.
01:12:23.000And that's what it comes down to, right?
01:12:24.000So anyway, that's the reparation stuff.
01:12:35.000That would be the worst thing that could ever happen to racial relations in this country.
01:12:39.000You know, white and black people in the same city, there's a little bit of friction, you know, naturally, I think, because tribalism is real.
01:12:46.000Now think about all these different races living together, but one group is working and paying all the other groups.
01:12:52.000Think about the animosity that results from that.
01:12:54.000So maybe, I don't know, maybe, you know, so maybe that's a bad thing.
01:12:58.000Maybe that's a really bad thing, right?
01:13:00.000You know, all these different groups of people living together in one country, and they're very different, believe different things, have different mannerisms, customs, and all that.
01:13:07.000There's a natural level of friction with that.
01:13:09.000Now imagine one group is paying all the other groups.
01:13:13.000One group is working and wages are stagnant and, you know, taxes are getting higher and cost of living is getting higher and their taxes go up.
01:13:22.000They have to pay a little bit more and other people get a little bit more.
01:13:26.000Now imagine the racial dynamics there.
01:13:28.000Is that a recipe for a nation living in harmony?
01:13:38.000It feels like race relations, you know, they got bad for obvious reasons during the Civil Rights Movement, and then they got better for a long time, and then they got really bad all of a sudden.
01:14:17.000This is my sincere internal community guidelines, if you will, my code of ethics, code of guidelines, community code of guidelines in my heart, where I say I believe in total equality.
01:14:28.000I could not fathom if somebody watched this show and walked away with some, you know, separatist or supremacist ideology.
01:17:29.000so uh so yeah i think he's right probably not in this election but it will be in the future and in any case texas is only that will be like sealing the deal so for people would say oh well texas hasn't gone blue we're good we're all right remember texas is like this is when it's over this is when the damn breaks and it's game over so i wouldn't that that wouldn't be the benchmark for me
01:17:52.000Luke Grizz says, hey Nick would you do a college speaking event perhaps with the travel expense and hotel we're covered?
01:17:57.000Well yeah that would have to happen right?
01:18:00.000I'm not gonna fly myself out and pay for a hotel to work, right?
01:18:54.000tyrone says thanks for making my waging less hellish nick oh you're welcome big guy glad you enjoy marcus says can your gta 5 stream be understood as a sort of manifesto i don't know what you're talking about bro it's just a game just a game uh not too serious just a fun goofy little gaming stream that we do occasionally for fun and not in a serious way at all
01:19:16.000Nick Corbin says America is just a placeholder for timeless ideas.
01:26:57.000I get my computer, and I set up my computer, and I have somebody telling me, well, you don't want to do this, you want to do this to take care of it.
01:27:04.000What if I just started taking a, I don't know, a USB plug and started jamming it into the HDMI port?
01:28:51.000But if not that, I would probably say Last Call is an anthem for the show.
01:28:55.000I would say Stronger is an anthem for the show.
01:29:01.000Mmm Homecoming is a good anthem for the show because I'm out of Chicago and also it's a it's a story about a young guy Who makes it big in show business and he then he can't come back home Because he's ostracized from the community because he went to Charlottesville.
01:29:16.000I think that's what that one's about or Glory champion champions the other song You know, there's a lot don't like point one.
01:29:25.000I mean, there's so many that's really the soundtrack to the America first experience I would say
01:32:51.000So when I feel something, when I say something, you just get the message and you just have to read it and move on with your life, you know?
01:33:20.000It's t.me slash Nick J Fuentes one if you want to join up But I may do I may open up another channel where it's a discussion.
01:33:28.000Somebody told me about this I don't really know how to use telegram that well because I only just got it recently but
01:33:35.000You have a channel where it's just me talking and then there's another kind of channel It's like a discussion channel, I guess where you interact.
01:33:42.000So maybe I'll do that and I really look forward to talking about you guys.
01:34:45.000I went back and I was looking at old pictures of myself.
01:34:47.000And not that I look totally different now, but I was just a little bit more angular, a little bit more... And now I look in the mirror, I don't even recognize myself.
01:35:07.000We just can't get enough of that stuff.
01:35:08.000It's slipping through my fingers, always.
01:35:10.000I'm looking in the mirror, it's slipping through my hands.
01:35:13.000Aging before my very eyes and pretty soon you're just and then you just decay and then you're gone, you know, so So, yeah, so maybe no more Big Macs maybe it's time to embrace the salad It's time to embrace the salad the running.
01:36:56.000People are telling me, get on Riot, get on Riot.
01:36:58.000I tried to get on Riot, and it's just so... I get on there and it melted my brain.
01:37:03.000I'm like, what am I, like, building a computer from scratch here?
01:37:05.000I get on Riot and it's like, you have a community, but also you could start a server, and it's like, here's our vector infrastructure, and I'm like, what am I, what am I doing?
01:37:21.000On Discord, say what you will, it's run by furries, but at the very least you click the plus sign, you start a server, it's pretty straightforward.
01:37:29.000But this, this, I download this Riot app and it's like, I felt like it's the 1990s and it's just straight, you know, code on a, on a page.
01:37:37.000I felt like Mark Zuckerberg writing out equations on the window at Harvard.
01:40:03.000Yeah, so, look, on Reddit, this is some of the fun times we have on Reddit.
01:40:08.000Somebody posted inside my subreddit a screenshot from the Chapo Trap House subreddit, where somebody claiming to be from my high school was saying, oh, I had the honor of going to high school with Nick Fuentes, and here's all the things that he did.
01:40:21.000And he listed one thing that he noted was,
01:40:26.000that uh well when nick was student council president he canceled the king of hearts dance one of the dances and he replaced it with this other thing that lost eight thousand dollars for the school and i i commented so i went in on my own subreddit to address each of the accusations because there were a number of others and i went through and i said well this one's wrong because of x this one's not true because of that i said well this one is actually 100 true and it's hilarious story i said if you super chat 20 i'll tell the story
01:40:55.000So I guess I have to tell the story now.
01:40:56.000So, back when I was in high school... This is a tough story, but it is pretty hilarious.
01:41:02.000Back when I... I don't know if it's really not even that funny.
01:41:26.000That wasn't really how it worked in practice at our school anyway, but that's just what they called it for a long time.
01:41:32.000And so my senior year I was a student council president.
01:41:35.000I was very popular because I'm handsome and charismatic and really I was beloved by the community until I went to Charlottesville and tarnished my reputation.
01:43:04.000That was the worst weekend ever, because this guy, he just, the guy who was running student council, he really beat the hell out of us for it.
01:43:14.000We were, I didn't, you know, look, it wasn't my decision.
01:43:17.000I said we should have done a different thing, and it was never, look, as president of student council, I have to say, I have to blame the Congress for this, I have to blame the media, I have to blame
01:44:12.000Because student council, even though I was in student council for years, and I was the second vice president, then I was the vice president, then I was the president, I didn't get the student council scholarship.
01:44:23.000Every year, they give the student council scholarship to the student council president.
01:45:18.000Can't believe, I still can't get over that that happened, but you know, that's a long history of me getting screwed over by the man, right?
01:46:16.000And honestly, I feel that the faster you drive, the safer it is.
01:46:21.000And my school of thought on this is, you can't get hit by a crazy driver if you're the crazy driver, right?
01:46:27.000I mean, you can't get blasted from behind by somebody who's driving totally recklessly if you're the one driving completely recklessly and going as fast as possible.
01:46:38.000I think the best defensive driving is offensive driving.
01:46:42.000If you're just constantly looking around and swerving and doing crazy maneuvers, it's like, well, the people that are going to die in the accident will be the other people and not me.
01:49:09.000Announces how much do you want to bet Democrats will still vote no and not explain their positions like voter ID We all know they don't want it vote no on what vote no on text censorship
01:49:49.000Doctor says, let this be known as a black listener of your good work.
01:49:53.000If the Democrats were to ever succeed with reparations, I will give my cut of the money in full to the descendants of my ancestors' slave masters.
01:50:10.000I don't know if I would go all the way but certainly I think That would be appreciated by by the white man if we got the reparations back right?
01:50:19.000Underscore says Nick bowtie pasta sucks rotini gang rise up Bowtie pasta is good actually so
01:52:28.000Peanut R. Buckles says, Telegram is great and all, but when are we going to get the Knicker dating network where the 96% compete for the 4%?
01:53:08.000Welcome to the true white race, of course.
01:53:12.000Brandon Hanson says, Is Tucker Carlson the man to reach the older conservatives like Gen X and maybe some boomers?
01:53:18.000Like his debate against Charlie Kirk, can he use his inside the establishment credibility to turn people to the nationalist side?
01:53:26.000Well, yeah, he's definitely going to be instrumental.
01:53:29.000Turning the tide I think for older people and really for everybody.
01:53:33.000He's I think one of the biggest What would you say he's one of the Like the biggest conservative pundits to come out in favor of this sort of nationalist populist agenda that isn't the president he's like the only enduring media fixture who is presenting a viable and articulate alternative to a
01:56:50.000EWG says, if immediately stopping all welfare is racist because it hurts blacks, the introduction and continuation of welfare is necessarily a form of reparation.
01:58:29.000Not a lot of downsides for me individually.
01:58:32.000Deep Springs says you should have voted for Ted Cruz.
01:58:34.000I heard whispers that he's a massive iCarly fan and was going to appoint Drake from Drake and Josh to Secretary of State and Josh from Drake and Josh to Secretary of PP.
01:58:48.000I didn't I guess I didn't see that in his platform didn't see that white paper Well, I regret voting for Donald Trump now, I guess I should have remained in the cruise crew I didn't know that he was a staunch Drake and Josh advocate But thank you for that Jack says go to order a team or go to order a t-bell
01:59:06.000Usually I get, um, well what do I usually get?
01:59:10.000I usually get a Crunchwrap or I get a Dorito, Loco, Taco.
02:02:36.000I have been following along the Kek prophecy Can anybody tell me what the the shining bolt was the shining bolts in the night, but it will not kill What was that all about?
02:02:45.000Cuz everybody agrees the island drifts away the two Whatever's the two houses become one or whatever, you know, whatever.
02:02:53.000It said the three branches become one So what's the shining bolt the clay?
02:02:59.000Something star gorging itself on clay.
02:05:16.000Chicago, I find Chicago drivers to be good.
02:05:18.000I've had a couple of close calls on the Stevenson.
02:05:21.000I've been driving around on the Stevenson a lot lately, but you know, go on the Eisenhower, I don't have any problems.
02:05:27.000I don't have any problems for the most part.
02:05:29.000Maybe it's just my suburban area that it's mostly safe driving, but once you get on the expressway, once you get in downtown, it's a little bit more rough I guess.
02:05:39.000Jack Shepard says, see you at LALA this year?
02:08:09.000You could still find it but I switched phones and I had a Google Authenticator on the wallet and so I lost access to it.
02:08:16.000So I transferred it but I never changed the name and by that time
02:08:21.000I don't know, there was some complication why I didn't put it back up, but I don't know, maybe I'll put it up again in the future.
02:08:26.000I have all kinds of wallets, don't get me wrong, but it's just been, we've been focusing on the Super Chats lately, but sure, sure, whatever, whatever, I'll put it back up.
02:08:36.000Goodtimes says, how is Kissinger still alive?
