00:00:46.000We'll also be talking tonight about the anti COVID lockdown protests in Europe, which we were going to cover yesterday, but we ran out of time because I went off way too much about GameStop and all of that and the Netflix movie.
00:01:03.000So we're going to be talking about that tonight.
00:01:05.000Major, major anti lockdown protests in the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland.
00:01:21.000Before we get into everything, though, remember to check us out on Telegram at t.meslash nickjfuentes.
00:01:29.000And check out our updates channel on Telegram, which will tell you exactly when the show goes live and any other information about the show.
00:03:39.000You have all these freedom fighters in these anti American countries like Venezuela and Iran and Russia and China, and they're all spooks, okay?
00:03:50.000They're all totally astroturfed by the CIA, they're all from the American regime, they're from NATO.
00:04:20.000But as they're sentencing this guy to jail time, he's behind this glass wall where they're imprisoning him while they're doing the sentencing.
00:04:30.000And his wife is on the other side watching this.
00:05:08.000Everybody who is at the Capitol on January 6th is getting, you know, they're getting their houses raided, they're getting arrested, they're talking about sedition charges, which carries a sentence of 20 years.
00:05:21.000And people are getting surveilled and audited, and there's informants everywhere.
00:05:27.000And basically, the American regime is coming down so hard on Trump supporters and political dissenters in this country, which I am familiar with, and all my friends like Baked Alaska and others are familiar with, and maybe a lot of you are familiar with.
00:05:43.000We are being crushed under the boot of the intelligence community, of NATO and the Biden administration, and all this stuff.
00:05:54.000And then you go on Twitter.com where they just banned the president three weeks ago and they're taking out all the QAnon people and all the Trump supporters.
00:06:04.000You go on Twitter.com and everybody's crying and everybody's so upset about a political dissident in Russia being sentenced to jail time.
00:06:17.000And I put out a tweet about this just before I went live on the show.
00:06:23.000The American regime, the American media, and the State Department, and the Biden administration, and all these proxies on social media are going to cry bloody murder over people like Alexei Navalny and other political dissidents in the backwards countries like Venezuela, Russia, China, or Belarus, or Iran, or whatever.
00:06:47.000And then they're going to turn around and persecute political dissidents at home to an extent way greater than in any of the countries that I just described, right?
00:06:57.000You know, they're going to get on Twitter and, oh, Alexei Navalny, what a brave freedom fighter.0.54
00:07:03.000Yeah, but bring sedition charges against those boomers at the Trump rally on the 6th.0.78
00:08:08.000America is an open society where we have a free press and freedom of speech and civil liberties and all of this.
00:08:15.000And that means that we get to wag our finger in everybody's face and we get to say, we get to condemn the military coup in Myanmar and we can condemn the fake elections in Belarus and we can condemn the sentencing of Alexei Navalny because we are a free and open society.
00:08:34.000And you're a backwards, repressive, totalitarian country.
00:08:39.000China and Russia and, right, all these other regimes.
00:08:43.000And I'm simply telling you that that is obviously, obviously a farce.
00:08:50.000The foundation of that moral authority doesn't exist anymore because we're not an open society.
00:09:21.000We're going into these countries and putting them on blast because they don't have an open internet in China or Iran when we have Google and Facebook.
00:09:31.000We're going to go into Belarus and Russia and complain about political prisoners while we're torturing Julian Assange?
00:09:37.000And Edward Snowden has political asylum in Russia?
00:10:34.000So tonight, I want to talk about these anti lockdown protests in Europe and kind of tie it in with what we talked about yesterday, which is the GameStop stock market thing.
00:11:17.000Robinhood and these other brokerages, when they restricted the buying of GameStop and AMC and Bed Bath Beyond and Blackberry and Nokia and others, they obviously destroyed the momentum.
00:11:35.000And I'm sure that, you know, not only did they bring the price down, which is bad enough, they bring the price down and then people panic sell and obviously they can't buy and then they forget about it by the time the trading is now unrestricted.
00:11:51.000Last week, they kill the price and they kill the momentum, and then all the shorts settle their positions.
00:11:59.000So, the whole basis for pumping up GameStop and AMC and all those stocks was that the shorts would be forced to buy at a very inflated price.
00:12:09.000Well, not only do you kill the momentum when you restrict the trading because people obviously can't buy and drive the price up, but then people panic sell, so the momentum's gone, the price goes down, it's this like spiral effect.
00:12:22.000But what's more is now that the price plummets, all the shorts settle.
00:12:26.000So when they open the trading back up, there's no momentum and there's no shorts to squeeze.
00:12:53.000But we're tying that into what's happening in Europe, and I'll read you the report.
00:12:57.000I postulated yesterday, you could go, well, I think it's on BitChute or YouTube or something, but if you caught the show yesterday, I went into my theory about how the Wall Street bets phenomenon was basically a distraction from the lockdown.
00:13:13.000And I made my whole case yesterday, but just to refresh you, it's simple.
00:13:18.000The economy has been destroyed in the past year.
00:13:23.000Has a lot of systemic problems, even when things are good and when things are bad.
00:13:28.000Systemic problems like high cost of living, housing costs a lot.
00:13:36.000I mean, there are a lot of systemic problems that transcend the usual metrics like the unemployment rate or the GDP growth, things like that.
00:13:45.000But the Trump economy, which was so good last year, and at least people were making money and they had jobs, it was a good job market, all of that.
00:13:53.000At least things were kind of going in the right direction.
00:13:56.000That was destroyed by the COVID lockdown.
00:13:59.000And that's why the economy is really bad right now.
00:14:07.000And I think that there was a lot of economic resentment right now, a lot of economic frustration because of that.
00:14:15.000And basically, Wall Street Bets and this GameStop thing is siphoning that energy in a basically fruitless direction.
00:14:23.000It's taking all of this real rage, which is totally legitimate, you know, it's totally righteous, and it's being directed at buying stocks.
00:14:33.000You know, you're mad about the economy.
00:14:36.000You're mad because you're uncomfortable and you're out of a job or your hours were cut or your benefits were cut or you're going broke or whatever.
00:14:44.000Well, you know what you could do to stick it to the man?
00:14:49.000You know, like to me, that's in some ways people say, well, that's good because hedge funds are losing money, but it's.
00:14:57.000Compared to what is possible with that resentment, it's really not the optimal thing to do.
00:15:03.000What people should be doing is directing that animosity towards the government and towards the people that are in favor of the COVID lockdown because that is the source of the economic pain for the past year.
00:15:16.000And to me, the counterexample is what's happening in Europe.
00:15:40.000This is from The Guardian about what's going on over there.
00:15:43.000It says, Police have dispersed or detained hundreds of protesters against COVID lockdowns in Hungary, Austria, and Belgium as continuing quarantine regimes across Europe chafed against the economic and social toll of nearly a year of restrictions on businesses, travel, and community life.
00:16:02.000Police in Brussels said on Sunday that they had arrested scores of people in an attempt to prevent two banned demonstrations against measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
00:16:15.000This is a statement from the police in Belgium.
00:16:18.000They say we are above 200 arrested at the moment.
00:16:22.000Belgium's neighbor, the Netherlands, was rocked by anti curfew riots last week, but protesters took a different tack on Sunday under the rallying call of drinking coffee together.
00:16:33.000Around 400 people dispersed peacefully in the central Dutch city after gathering for an authorized demonstration at a community center.
00:16:42.000In Amsterdam, a heavy police presence thwarted a mainly peaceful but unauthorized demonstration.
00:16:48.000Around 5,000 people defied a ban to march in Vienna in protest against a curfew and lockdown.
00:16:55.000The march was organized by the far right FPOE party, and many participants ignored government regulations on mask wearing and the need to keep minimum distances from each other.
00:17:06.000Police also dispersed protesters at a Sunday demonstration in Budapest, where workers in the country's struggling hospitality sector demanded civil disobedience and a rethinking of lockdown restrictions.
00:17:19.000Organizers of the demonstration at a central square in Hungary's capital called for restaurateurs to break pandemic rules by opening their businesses to customers on Monday in defiance of strict pandemic measures, limiting restaurants and cafes to takeout service.
00:17:35.000So, this is not something that is a purely right wing phenomenon.
00:17:41.000This is happening throughout Europe, and it seems to be happening throughout the world because there were even comparable demonstrations happening in Canada recently as well.
00:17:52.000And so I look around the world at Canada, which is far more liberal.
00:17:56.000I look at the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Hungary, Poland, Italy.
00:18:01.000They're having major anti lockdown demonstrations, in some cases, riots.
00:18:06.000And in a lot of these countries, it's the full spectrum everything from civil disobedience, authorized demonstrations with the proper permits, all the way through to totally unauthorized riots that are violent and like pushing the government to the brink of collapse.
00:19:45.000You know, I keep stressing the economy, but it's much more than that, too.
00:19:49.000In some ways, the social disruption is far worse and far more catastrophic.
00:19:54.000We did a story about this last week about the surge in teen and even preteen suicides.
00:20:03.000Because of the school lockdowns, you've got all these kids that they don't go to school, they don't have extracurriculars, they can't go to recreational events, sporting events, and they're killing themselves because the quality of life is so bad, being kept inside all day on TikTok and on Zoom and whatever.
00:20:22.000So, in a lot of ways, the social disruption and the despair and misery that that's brought on is far more disruptive and calamitous and catastrophic than even the economic disruption.
00:20:36.000Nevertheless, How are people responding to it?
00:20:41.000In Europe and Canada, they're going outside their houses and they're demanding a return to normal life, which is to me, honestly, kind of surprising.
00:20:50.000Because the narrative for a long time, about like since 2016, since the Trump election and Brexit and some of these other events, was that the populist energy is really taking over in America, maybe has the best chance at succeeding in America.
00:21:08.000But then I look at Europe, and that's where they're protesting the lockdowns.
00:21:12.000That's where they're considering restrictions on social media companies.
00:21:16.000You know, it seems like maybe that's where it's happening.
00:21:19.000And in America, we're like buying stocks.
00:21:23.000And what's really important, I think maybe the most important takeaway is this this lockdown is never going to end.
00:21:31.000There is no natural conclusion to the lockdown.
00:21:36.000Now, that doesn't mean that it's not possible for the lockdown to end, but it means that.
00:21:42.000On this current trajectory, it won't end by itself.
00:21:45.000People think, and I think largely people in America are under the impression, which is wrong, that if we just grin and bear it, if we just wait it out, well, we'll wait for it to resolve itself.
00:21:58.000The government will lift the restrictions and then we'll go back to our normal lives.
00:22:02.000And that is what is keeping a lid on everything this wrong and incorrect expectation or presumption that if we just wait, the government will lift it in like a reasonable amount of time.
00:22:15.000People think like, Well, how much longer can this go on?
00:22:49.000I mean, as long as they're in control of the lockdown, as long as the lockdown persists, they are in control of all economic and social activity in America.
00:22:59.000As long as the lockdown persists, they have unprecedented power against Americans, unprecedented power to abridge civil liberties, to investigate, to use and weaponize the surveillance state.
00:23:12.000Biden, in his COVID executive orders last week, imposed criminal penalties on people that don't wear masks on interstate transportation.
00:23:22.000That's the kind of authority that's opened up now.
00:23:24.000They can track you using Bluetooth on your phone, and you can't turn it off because it's built into the operating system on all Android and Apple phones now with Bluetooth.
00:23:35.000Now, they could already track you in other ways, but this is far more pervasive.
00:23:40.000It's far easier for law enforcement to access, and this was done under the guise of contact tracing for COVID.
00:23:49.000These are just a couple of examples of the unprecedented expansion of government authority because of COVID.
00:23:56.000The point being is, they're not going to give that up.
00:24:00.000In fact, they have every incentive to not end this in a timely fashion or really ever at all.
00:24:06.000The masks, contact tracing, testing, social distancing, lockdown, it will never end by itself.
00:24:14.000And the countries where they're going to get out in the streets, the countries where they're going to open their businesses and dare the government to shut them down and mask, those are the countries where the lockdown will end.
00:24:26.000Those are the countries where the lockdown will be expedited and it will be enforced in a reasonable way.
00:24:32.000The countries that don't do that are just going to get screwed.
00:24:36.000And unfortunately, the government is in a position to maintain this forever.
00:24:44.000What I mean by this is look at some of the resistance efforts in Europe.
00:24:51.000What they proposed, for example, in Budapest is that restaurants and cafes open in spite of the government lockdown.
00:24:59.000Well, in order for restaurants and cafes to open against the wishes of the government, they have to be in business.
00:25:07.000They have to be able to pay staff to open, they have to be able to pay for supplies and all of that.
00:25:13.000Well, a lot of businesses in America, their days are numbered.
00:25:16.000They're going out of business every day.
00:25:18.000So, as far as our ability to even mount a resistance against the government, the clock is ticking because pretty soon the only businesses that will remain solvent are the ones that are dependent on the government.
00:25:32.000The ones that are dependent on government aid, the ones that are dependent on the government giving them the green light.
00:25:37.000And maybe the government will string them along just long enough with 25% occupancy restrictions and social distancing and limiting four or six people to a table at a restaurant or things like that.
00:25:50.000But these businesses are going to lose the ability to resist because they're losing their independence.
00:25:57.000You and I, and the businesses, and every other private entity.
00:26:02.000We are losing our independence, we're losing our economic power, and therefore we are losing our ability to resist the government's mandates.
00:26:10.000You know, maybe this is by design, but that is just a very convenient side effect of all of this for the people that are perpetrating the lockdown.
00:26:22.000I would never expect that the anti lockdown revolution would start in the Netherlands of all places, because I think of the Netherlands as socially liberal, like the epitome of.
00:26:53.000But, you know, I think about Northern Europe.
00:26:57.000And I'm thinking, oh, these people are way more cucked than America.
00:27:00.000In America, we have guns and we have Trump and all this.
00:27:04.000I mean, not anymore, but it's the country that elected Trump.
00:27:07.000So it's actually a bit of a shock to me that it's going on over there, but I think it's one of these moments where we have to take a look at what's going on there and think seriously about your future under this lockdown.
00:27:21.000This is something that it is not pie in the sky.
00:27:23.000I am not talking about something abstract.
00:27:26.000Usually, when we talk about doom and gloom on the show, people don't think of it with enough urgency because they think, oh, well, that's in the long term, and therefore it's kind of intangible.
00:27:38.000When I talk about demographic change and whites becoming a minority, for a lot of people, it is really intangible for them to imagine this.
00:27:49.000It's something that's way off into the future, it's something that they have no experience with.
00:27:54.000And therefore, it's not making them uncomfortable enough to feel a sense of urgency.
00:28:00.000But of course, a lockdown is affecting each and every, literally every single one of us, in an extremely intimate and negative way.
00:28:09.000If you're someone going to school, it's totally destroyed your social life.
00:28:14.000If you're a college student, it's destroyed your social life.
00:28:18.000If you're an adult in the workforce, it's probably destroyed your wages.
00:28:22.000If you're a business owner, it's destroyed your business.
00:28:42.000And what are the costs of resisting versus endless lockdown?
00:28:47.000People have to start weighing that in their minds.
00:28:49.000Clearly, that's what they're doing in Europe.
00:28:51.000And they're thinking to themselves well, look, if we all resist this together, Well, they can't shut down every single business.
00:28:58.000They can't arrest every person in the Netherlands.
00:29:01.000They can't arrest every person in Hungary.
00:29:03.000So, if we all push back, obviously then the social cost is reduced.
00:29:08.000But what's more is if we all push back, the potential consequences are less severe than the consequences of inaction and indefinite lockdown.
00:29:18.000People in America got to start thinking like that.
00:29:33.000They'll get mad, but they basically just go along with it.
00:29:37.000And it's time for people to start to organize.
00:29:39.000The only problem is, you know, like China or like Russia, very difficult to organize because what they did from the very beginning of the COVID lockdown was they branded anybody that was against a lockdown or didn't think the virus was severe as spreading misinformation.
00:29:58.000That was one of the first things they did last year Facebook and Twitter and Google.
00:30:04.000They all got together and reformed their community guidelines to say if you don't think the virus is severe, or you post content that says that the virus isn't severe, or the death rate isn't what they're saying it is, or the lockdowns are not as efficacious as they say they are, that's misinformation and you're banned.
00:30:24.000So that makes it a lot more difficult.
00:30:26.000But nevertheless, we got to figure it out because this is not good.
00:31:09.000Those are not the big populist issues anymore.
00:31:11.000That doesn't mean that immigration is not still a big deal.
00:31:14.000It doesn't mean that trade is not a big deal.
00:31:17.000But it does mean that as far as the political scene goes and like priorities and urgency goes, those are no longer the most salient populist issues or nationalist America first issues.
00:31:28.000Clearly, and I've been saying this actually for a long time, but clearly now more than ever, the main issues facing populists are the COVID lockdown and big tech.
00:31:39.000Without a doubt, without a question, those are the two populist issues of our time.
00:31:48.000It is COVID lockdown, big tech censorship, and election fraud.
00:31:52.000If not the most politically important issues, those are the most urgent existential threats to a populist movement and to the American people right now.
00:32:07.000Those are the issues that will animate a populist movement in America in this decade.
00:32:13.000So it's not to say that we don't care about immigration.0.91
00:32:16.000Look, if I became president in 2024, I would ban all immigration on day one.
00:32:21.000Still, but as far as priority and urgency goes, obviously big tech is more pressing now.
00:32:28.000You know, you can't have an anti immigration movement if you can't have political movements.
00:32:35.000You can't have anti immigration policy if the votes don't count and you can't get elected.
00:32:42.000You can't have anything if you can't make money or organize or talk to each other because the government is order 66, the whole planet with COVID lockdown.
00:32:52.000So, These are now the three pillars of America First populism.
00:32:58.000It's a very important thing to set out for people watching and just in general to set the tone now.
00:33:05.000And it's not like, oh, we're embracing a fad.0.90
00:33:08.000It's like, look, the landscape has changed.0.94
00:33:12.000I've actually been talking about big tech for a long time.
00:33:15.000I've been talking about COVID lockdown for a long time, but obviously, COVID is only a year old, and election fraud only happened on November 3rd.
00:33:23.000If 2016 set the stage for the period from 2016 to 2021, after the Capitol siege or after the November 3rd election, the three issues now are COVID lockdown, big tech censorship, and election fraud.
00:33:40.000And those are going to be the big three.
00:33:42.000Those are three populist issues that I think are going to unite a lot of the country.
00:33:48.000And certainly, these are three practical problems for any kind of resistance in America.
00:33:54.000And that is actually a nice segue into our featured story, which is the Ron DeSantis speech today.
00:35:11.000For those that don't know, Ron DeSantis is hands down the best governor in America by far, on like every issue.
00:35:18.000Florida is probably the best state in America as far as COVID lockdown goes.
00:35:24.000Not only do they not have a mask mandate, but as governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis banned mask mandates in Florida.
00:35:33.000So, in other words, not only is there no mask mandate in the state of Florida, but municipal governments and like towns and villages and cities cannot impose mask mandates.
00:36:03.000Last year, when the BLM riots were tearing through America, he passed a law, and I don't know all the specifics of it, but it basically says that if a riot is declared within a certain distance of you, It really is liberal with how you can defend yourself with lethal force.
00:36:21.000It says something like if a riot is declared within a mile of you, you have really a lot of latitude as far as killing people if you feel threatened.
00:36:32.000Now, that's not precise, but it's something to that effect.
00:36:37.000So it's a really good law that protects people.
00:36:39.000I remember when I was flying back from Miami after New Year's Eve, I was talking to these black people because we were all on the wait list.
00:36:49.000Because we all missed our flights, and we were all put on the wait list to get on the next flight to Chicago, and everyone flying back to Chicago who missed their flight was black, except for me.
00:36:59.000And they were actually talking about that law.
00:37:01.000They're like, shit, I'm not trying anything in Florida.
00:37:06.000And one black guy was saying that he heard a story where somebody tried to steal a guy's car, and the guy that owned the car was chasing him with a gun, and the guy, the would be carjacker, Killed the guy that was pursuing him, and that was legal because he ran away.
00:37:30.000And the guy that was, you know, the guy who owned the car was pursuing him, and the car burglar was able to stand his ground.
00:37:40.000And, like, that was a stand your ground law thing, but they were also talking about the riots, and they said, look, self defense is so strong in the state, you shouldn't try anything.
00:37:48.000And to me, I was like, okay, that's pretty based, you know?
00:38:05.000And I feel like he passed a law about sanctuary cities, one of the only states in the country to go after sanctuary cities.
00:38:13.000He did pass a very cringe law that goes against BDS in public schools, which is really cringe.
00:38:21.000But outside of that, he's really good on just about every other issue.
00:38:27.000And this is what he had to say about tech censorship.
00:38:29.000I'll read you the report about his press conference.
00:38:32.000It says, Citing discrimination against conservatives, Governor Ron DeSantis and GOP legislative leaders said Tuesday they will back a bill to punish five big tech companies Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Twitter that they believe wield too much power over the modern day public square.
00:38:53.000DeSantis said, As these companies have grown and their influence has expanded, big tech has come to look more like Big Brother with each passing day.
00:39:09.000These companies, but it's directionally very good.
00:39:13.000These companies exert monopoly power over a centrally important forum in the public discourse and the access of information that Floridians rely upon.
00:39:22.000The move comes after former President Trump, a key ally of the governor, was banned from Twitter and Facebook after the January 6th storming of the U.S. Capitol.
00:39:32.000DeSantis cited what happened to Trump as one reason for the legislation, but didn't acknowledge Trump's role in the riot.
00:39:38.000DeSantis Was asked by a reporter if he agreed with Trump's claim that the election was stolen from him, but the governor didn't answer the question.
00:39:46.000The bill hasn't been filed, but DeSantis said it would require the companies to give users advance notice before removing them from their platform.
00:39:55.000The companies would be barred from changing the rules and standards of their platforms too often.
00:40:00.000If the companies violate the new rules, the legislation would allow users to more easily sue the companies, as well as empower the attorney general to seek action against them under the state's deceptive and unfair practices law.
00:40:13.000In addition, the bill would target big tech's influence on elections.
00:40:17.000Companies that remove a candidate for office from their platform would receive $100,000 fines each day until the candidate's access is restored.
00:40:27.000Any promotion of one candidate over another would require disclosure of that under Florida's campaign contribution transparency requirements.
00:40:36.000The use of algorithms to boost or suppress political content would also be banned.
00:40:41.000DeSantis said The message is loud and clear when it comes to elections in Florida, big tech should stay out of it.
00:40:47.000DeSantis has previously said big tech censorship of conservatives was his top legislative priority and cited the shutdown of Parlor as particularly disturbing.
00:40:58.000Amazon and Apple ended access to the platform, which was shut down for a time after the January 6th storming of the Capitol.
00:41:05.000DeSantis was flanked by the Lieutenant Governor and legislative leaders, House Speaker Chris Sprouls and Senate President Wilton Simpson, as well as the sponsors of the bill in each chamber, Representative Blaze. Ingoglia and Senator Danny Burgess, an indication of the support the measure will have among Republicans.
00:41:27.000Sprouls noted the firms have the ability to use mystery algorithms to promote or downplay certain posts and have an enormous influence on the modern day public square.
00:41:37.000Their influence has become so pervasive, he said, the companies have surpassed the big monopolies of the early 20th century, such as Standard Oil, which were broken up under the federal antitrust laws.
00:41:50.000Sprouls said, No one elects these companies to pull the strings of American life, yet they act like the five wizards of Oz.
00:41:58.000Today we begin to pull back the curtain.
00:42:02.000And, you know, I don't have enough good things to say about this press conference.
00:42:07.000This is probably the biggest white pill, in my opinion, on big tech censorship of the past five years.
00:42:15.000Because this is the most serious approach to big tech censorship out of any elected official.
00:42:24.000Since all this stuff started when Trump started to run for office in 2015.
00:43:00.000But all of these provisions, this to me looks and sounds like the most serious attempt to fix this yet.
00:43:08.000Because it is targeted, you know, there's enforcement mechanisms and empowers the state and the attorney general.
00:43:15.000It's weaponizing election laws, which is a very creative and brilliant way to go about the problem.
00:43:21.000Because, of course, private companies, for example, disallowing one candidate to use their platform, but allowing the other candidate or even elevating the other candidate on the platform, that constitutes election interference.
00:43:34.000That's at the bare minimum an in kind contribution to another candidate.
00:43:39.000So, to get election officials involved with that, to get consumer protection involved in that, I mean, all the different angles, and there are a series of different attack vectors on this issue in this legislation.
00:44:33.000And in a lot of ways, DeSantis is not Trump like in the sense that he doesn't have the excitement of Trump, he's not this sort of like dark horse.
00:44:42.000Black swan, kind of a candidate like Trump is, potentially for president, some have suggested, or just as a political actor.
00:44:51.000Ron DeSantis is definitely more conventional, but everything that I've seen from him, it's always on the money.
00:45:17.000They're complaining about Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump, you know?
00:45:21.000So he's spearheading this, and he says it's a priority for him, and he's only a state official.
00:45:27.000So I love what I'm hearing from Ron DeSantis.
00:45:30.000I think this is awesome, and this is where Republicans need to be.
00:45:34.000This is real leadership, this is real courage.
00:45:37.000He is the model for what all Republicans, what people, I should say, America firsters, should expect from Republican officials for the next four years.
00:45:47.000I will not vote for somebody like Ted Cruz because Ted Cruz does not sound like Ron DeSantis.
00:45:52.000Ted Cruz sounds like John McCain, you know, to me in a lot of ways.
00:46:36.000He's really living the dream over there.
00:46:39.000To me, Ron DeSantis is like the model of what everybody should be expecting from Republicans in the midterms and 24, or even people that are not even elected officials.
00:46:49.000This is what people should be talking about.
00:47:27.000Say that that's a lesser position, but it's a national issue, and there are no national officials that are talking about it.
00:47:33.000So I think we can expect a lot of good things from Ron DeSantis.
00:47:39.000And by the way, I'm not like shilling him.
00:47:41.000I feel like I sound like I'm shilling him.
00:47:44.000You know, I'm not in touch with him, I'm not in touch with his people or anything.
00:47:49.000You know, I don't have any like skin in the game with him, but I know that a lot of people are feeling despair, obviously, and feeling like there's no direction, there's no path forward, there's no vision.
00:48:02.000And it is so white pilling and encouraging just two weeks after the inauguration to see a guy who really seems to have it figured out.
00:48:09.000I mean, clearly he's got a good staff because this is the kind of stuff that a staff puts together this press conference, this legislative package.
00:48:19.000He seems to, you know, he's good or he knows how to pick a good staff.
00:48:27.000And like I said, it's the right issue, it's the right message, it's the right time, it's the right approach.
00:48:34.000And it cannot be overstated what a white pill that is in a time like this.
00:48:39.000Because just when you thought the other week, it's like, wow.
00:48:42.000I mean, I said this yesterday Ted Cruz is throwing Trump under the bus, and everyone's throwing Marjorie Taylor Greene under the bus.
00:48:49.000I'm thinking, yeah, okay, so not only do we get totally crushed by the Democrats and the Biden administration, but now the Republicans are going to screw us all over.
00:48:59.000And, you know, they're going to continue to try that.
00:49:03.000We've got Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress, we've got Paul Gosar, we've got Ron DeSantis.
00:49:09.000It seems like there is going to be a continuation of what we've seen for the past four years that there is America first within the GOP after Trump.
00:49:21.000And that's all we need are a few people.
00:49:56.000They're competent, maybe even more competent than Trump.
00:50:00.000What's so exciting about this is not only is DeSantis pushing this message, but this is way better than anything that happened under the Trump administration.
00:50:09.000This is way better than anything that came out of the Trump White House as far as big tech censorship goes.
00:50:15.000Obviously, DeSantis isn't the president, but it shows what he's capable of.
00:50:19.000And it shows that there are Republicans that care about this stuff and maybe can do even more to fix it than Trump, who is in the White House.
00:50:28.000That shows what I've been saying for years, okay, vindicated on something else.
00:50:34.000It shows that building upon the Trump revolution is viable.
00:50:41.000It shows that there is a future after Trump, and it's people that are pro Trump, pro America first.
00:50:48.000And taking what he did and not saying, oh, you know, we're going to poo-poo Trump and say, oh, he's evil.
00:51:54.000I don't think it's too early to start speculating, and I think you'd have to count Ron DeSantis as like he would be my front runner, and it doesn't mean anything now because it's four years away, and a lot can change in four years.
00:52:12.000But four years out, and assuming that Trump is kind of in limbo right now, I'd say Ron DeSantis would be the runner up to Trump, and without Trump, number one, right?
00:52:23.000It doesn't mean much because, like I said, still a lot of game left.
00:53:38.000So hopefully it can give us some legal recourse against these big tech companies because if we don't start fighting back, it is going to be a massacre in the next decade.
00:53:50.000I mean, we are going to get slaughtered.
00:53:53.000If we don't have any legal tools, if we don't have any legal recourse or anybody in government passing things like this, We are basically just going to get raped to death by big tech.
00:54:03.000And I know that's like a crass thing to say, but it's just true.
00:54:06.000I mean, we are going to get absolutely annihilated by Facebook, Google.
00:54:11.000They are an existential threat to what we're doing if we don't get the federal government or state governments to begin intervening and protecting.
00:54:20.000And those are the only institutions that can do anything.
00:54:23.000Those are the only institutions because, as evidenced by Parler, try going up against the big tech companies in any other way.
00:54:31.000And you run up against a pretty big problem.
00:55:30.000Or like a foreign government, but that's pretty dicey too.
00:55:33.000So if it's going to come from somewhere, it'll come from the government.
00:55:36.000If it's going to come from the government, it's going to come from solid America First Republican officials like DeSantis or Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gossard, Donald Trump, you know, somebody like that.
00:56:55.000You know, that is not the kind of people that we need to fight intergenerationally.
00:57:01.000That's not the kind of thinking that is going to get us to the promised land here.
00:57:06.000So, anyway, not to get too off topic or off track, but it's really important to look at things like this because we always got to be looking for the next thing.
00:57:18.000We always got to be looking for the next evolution, the next step, the next incremental move or revolutionary move, you know, when those opportunities present themselves.
00:57:27.000But, After the schlonging, the shellacking, what would Trump say?
00:57:35.000After what we've put up with for the past month or so, it's nice to see that there's a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel here, potentially, with something like this.
00:57:46.000At the bare minimum, it shows that there's a path forward, perhaps.
00:58:17.000We'll crack a bubbly and we'll take a look.1.00
00:58:20.000We've got Diligent who says they really had a nigga saying Reddit was right for once.0.97
00:58:26.000Yeah, and it turned out not to be true.0.91
00:58:28.000Reddit is never right, and they were wrong.
00:58:32.000Speczo says, I watched every Star Wars movie for the first time ever over the last week, and my opinion of which ones were the best and worst caused more controversy than anything I ever said about race or religion on Mandalorian.
00:58:49.000My favorite is, of course, Revenge of the Sith, and this is the only correct answer.
00:58:54.000I'm not memeing, I'm not being like, that's the only right answer.
00:58:59.000No, like, that is the only right answer, and it's not up for debate, and I'm not being Funny, and I don't care if you disagree, you're wrong.
00:59:10.000Revenge of the Sith is the best one, hands down.
00:59:13.000It is better than Empire Strikes Back.
00:59:38.000Who watched it when you were 10 years old and you're, you know, ancient baby boomer?
00:59:42.000You rode your bike to the local theater and you, you know, you watch it with your best buddy named Gus and you got, you know, I don't know.
00:59:50.000You went to the, what did people do in the 80s?
01:00:48.000Being like that unironically about anything is super cringe.
01:00:52.000When I do it, I'm kind of ironically appropriating it.0.95
01:00:57.000I'm ironically repurposing the cultural artifacts of the Zoomer generation, which is the most based online, extremely online, white male generation.1.00
01:01:54.000But my dad will do this all the time where we'll be talking about something and then he'll smile and he'll sing the chorus of an ancient boomer song that is thematically similar to what we're talking about.
01:04:00.000It came from a place of frustration about his failures and ignorance on the details.
01:04:05.000But a silver lining is that you gave a strong response to key points against Trump.
01:04:10.000Well, you know, look, the super chats where you disagree with me, honestly, they're some of the better ones because it's way more interesting than when people say, no offense.
01:04:22.000Not that they don't appreciate it, but it's more interesting than when people say for the.
01:05:12.000I'm glad you didn't take it personally.
01:05:14.000It's good because, like you said, it catalyzes, you know, some strong arguments for people that may feel similarly, you know, if you felt that way.
01:05:51.000My car is slipping and sliding all over the place because I got these shitty tires that these dummies put on my car.
01:06:00.000You know, it's like I never had a problem with my car, never had a problem with.0.76
01:06:04.000Like hydroplaning or anything like that, I get these new tires, and now every time it rains, I'm like flying around, and I'm a really good driver, so it's never a problem.
01:06:18.000So it's a big pain in the ass in the winter.
01:06:20.000It's really, you know, it's real, real rear wheel drive with these shitty tires, and I'm like just giving the massage or whoever an excuse to kill me.
01:06:31.000I'm just not going to drive anymore, I guess, after I said that, right?
01:06:37.000I'm going to get new tires tonight, right?
01:06:39.000But so, if I explode in a car accident, you know it was the feds that killed David Perdue's kid.
01:06:48.000You remember that during the Georgia thing?
01:07:56.000Groyper Savants says, Do you think that most political ideology comes from a secularization of a religious worldview?
01:08:04.000For instance, liberalism from Protestantism, communism from Judaism, fascism from Catholicism, or is this just a stupid idea that I've been playing with?
01:08:18.000Ideology was born of the Enlightenment.
01:08:23.000You didn't have ideology before the Enlightenment.
01:08:26.000There was no ideology before the Enlightenment.
01:08:29.000And maybe this had to do with the printing press, and maybe this had to do.
01:08:32.000I mean, in a lot of ways, you can't attribute ideology entirely to secularism because it also coincided with the printing press, and the printing press begot secularism.
01:08:53.000And I think Burnham wrote about this, and I think Sam Francis wrote about this as well.
01:08:57.000So I was reading something the other day from some medievalist who said, Oh, you know, you didn't have ideology before the Enlightenment.
01:09:07.000Well, you also didn't have the printing press until like printing press, and then you get the Reformation, and then you get the Enlightenment.
01:09:18.000In any case, ideology is born of the Enlightenment, born during the time of the Enlightenment.
01:09:25.000And yes, it is true that there are, I think, similarities, which there's no coincidence with Bolshevism and Judaism, liberalism and Protestantism, and Catholicism.
01:09:38.000And I don't know if Catholicism is totally fascist, but certainly there are some similarities.
01:11:05.000And of course, Mediterranean people, Catholics are more communal, and obviously, there's something that is similar between the idea of a papacy and the idea of like a leader, you know, Il Duce or something like that.
01:11:21.000So, I haven't done a lot of time to flesh that idea out, but I think you're onto something there.
01:11:27.000I think it's true that people, I think, have certain attributes.
01:11:33.000Their societies develop in a certain way, basically, because of their biology.
01:11:37.000You know, their culture comes from their biology.
01:11:40.000Their culture creates these sort of political conditions that they live in or political movements that they live in.
01:11:46.000And if they're not expressed in religious terms, they're expressed in secular terms.
01:11:51.000If they're not expressed in religious values, they're expressed in secular values.
01:11:56.000If you're religious, individualism expresses itself in Protestantism, an individual interpretation of the Bible, an individual relationship with God.
01:12:05.000And that's obviously individualism begets then liberalism and all of that.
01:12:13.000It's analogous to Catholicism and how that would manifest then in fascism or communitarianism or something like that.
01:12:21.000So, yeah, there's a lot of truth to that.0.88
01:13:49.000Real victim of the culture wars, right?
01:13:53.000Baguette Groyper says, It's so relatable to hear how Nick lost all his friends because of the show, because I lost mine in the exact same way, except my show was in the middle of ninth grade history class with 2016 Sargon talking points.
01:14:23.000Is it really, you know, it's similar to going to Charlottesville and like dropping out of college to do an internet show based on America First?
01:14:33.000And like, it's definitely not the same.
01:14:37.000Yeah, I'll give you, it might be similar, but people are like, wow, he's just like me.
01:15:51.000And maybe I'm wrong because I don't know him that well.
01:15:54.000And he's never reached out to me and he unfollowed me on Twitter.0.99
01:15:56.000So he doesn't even want to get a chance to know me or get a chance to introduce himself to me, which is a big mistake on his part because I have an army of Zoomers here.0.98
01:16:07.000My impression is that he does not have the moral character to do this job because that's what is required here integrity, courage, guts.
01:16:16.000And he strikes me as somebody who, when he does something good, he's being pushed in that direction by one of the good people talking to him.
01:16:23.000But otherwise, he is just basically somebody with unexceptional character who is doing what he thinks is popular and, you know, really good with the cameras and really good at talking, and he's a self promoter and all of that.
01:16:38.000But doesn't seem like he really cares that much and doesn't seem like a real fighter.
01:16:46.000He seems like somebody who wants to play a fighter on TV.
01:18:08.000I take a stand for what I believe in, even when it costs me.
01:18:12.000And Matt Gaetz, when has he paid a price?
01:18:14.000Michelle Malkin, America first, even when she had to pay a price and she got blacklisted and fired from YAF and everything.
01:18:23.000You know, real leadership, real guts, and there's no shortage of opportunities to show leadership these days, and I don't see it.
01:18:31.000I see a guy who's there to say the right thing at the right time to get the acclaim, and that's just not going to cut it.
01:18:38.000Now, maybe I'm wrong, and I hope he proves me wrong because we need people, and it would be great if he would demonstrate that I'm wrong on all of that, but that's my impression, and I can't shake it.
01:20:46.000You think Chapo Trap House people who are like hardcore shit libs and think you're a Nazi, you think that they're prime candidates to become alt right in your dreams?
01:20:57.000I just don't think it happens to a great degree.
01:21:03.000It is much less likely to happen than normal conservatives coming to our side, coming to the side of America first, or something that is a little bit more out there, you know?
01:21:16.000Like Bernie bros who are hardcore shitlibs or like Trump supporters who support building a wall on the southern border and all this kind of stuff?
01:21:37.000You know, being pandering and appealing to some of these conventional and traditional conservative bases.
01:21:45.000I know it's not so exciting to do this like Ted Cruz kind of shtick, but it's probably where we're going to get the easiest and most massive support as opposed to trying to make this realignment happen.
01:22:22.000The people that hate me the most, without exception, are people that tried really hard to be my friend and then I just didn't want anything to do with them.
01:22:33.000Like Spencer, you know, I just talked about him a moment ago.
01:22:37.000He is somebody that we feuded throughout 2017, and then he wanted to be my friend again in 2018.
01:22:45.000You know, and I was like, well, I'll stop like attacking you.
01:22:48.000You know, like I won't, like, okay, truce, right?
01:22:52.000And then he started stuff up again, you know, and then I was like, okay, fuck this guy.
01:22:57.000You know, I mean, I thought we had a truce, and then he starts attacking me.
01:23:01.000And then he's texting me and he's like, hey, we should get together.
01:24:49.000The real opposite of love is indifference.
01:24:52.000So people that love you, Oh, they very easily and quickly go over to hate because it's not really the opposite.
01:25:00.000They care about you, they're obsessed with you, and it goes from positive to negative as opposed to just not caring.
01:25:07.000And that's why, invariably, the people that are so invested in hating me are the people that loved me, but for whatever reason, you know, they weren't cool enough or whatever.
01:25:16.000They weren't cool or smart, or maybe they were feds or whatever.
01:25:23.000It's what happens when you're, look, when you're a force of nature like me, that's just what happens.
01:25:29.000And I don't mean to say that to come off any kind of way.
01:25:33.000I just mean that when you are somebody that is really making a difference, and maybe not even making a difference, but you're really sort of like a forceful personality, you polarize people.
01:27:40.000I think it's in some ways a little bit risky, but we're really doing our due diligence, extreme everything to make sure this goes off really well.
01:28:42.000It's going to be a real, I think, symbolic sort of a moment where, in the aftermath of Trump, you know, sort of taking a step back, and it's the Biden administration, there's this lack of direction, this lack of leadership.
01:28:56.000You've got CPAC putting up these very lame, boring people with no excitement, and then you've got AFPAC.
01:31:36.000Hydro says, Could the whole GameStop thing be hedge fund versus hedge fund competition thing rather than simply a normie versus hedge fund thing?
01:31:46.000Maybe millennial hedge funds were squeezing some money from boomer hedge funds.
01:33:36.000Jeff says the protests we had in Germany all over last year were just a gathering of boomers without a deeper political understanding, led by crazy libertarians and people who believe in totally insane conspiracy theories.0.87
01:33:49.000Don't see a chance for success here.0.72
01:33:50.000Well, yeah, I mean, Germany is totally paused.
01:33:55.000John says, after 9 11, the next decade of politics revolved around terrorism.
01:33:59.000Thank you for making the COVID lockdowns the number one AF issue.
01:34:03.000No one will care about immigration or Israel if businesses are closed, kids can't go to school, and everyone has to wear masks.
01:34:09.000Well, and it's something that can unite a broad political coalition because it's something that's non ideological and it's something that transcends class and race and everything.
01:34:53.000Babe and Baby says a year into the pandemic, multiple vaccines being administered.
01:34:57.000To millions of Americans and COVID numbers seeming to be subsiding, yet now Fauci and others are calling for people to wear multiple masks.
01:37:12.000Display names as I'm not saying Cruz is great, but he voted against some awful bills, including the 2018 omnibus and the December globalist stimulus that Trump disgracefully signed.
01:37:24.000How could you vote for Trump but not Cruz?
01:37:26.000I think we shouldn't vote for anyone who voted for the stimulus andor overturning Trump's veto.
01:41:42.000The guy's a private person his whole life.
01:41:45.000Not only does he get thrust into the presidency of the United States, but with everything bearing down against him, not just the conventional opposition, but his own party, his own people, his own family, Jared Kushner and Ivanka, and his staff, and saboteurs throughout the White House, and his own party, and Republican legislative leaders who thwarted him at every turn.
01:42:07.000So he's playing on God mode, he's playing on expert hardcore mode, and he's got no experience.
01:42:12.000And people say, well, he didn't do a very good job, so he's the same as Ted Cruz.
01:42:17.000Ted Cruz is a Harvard educated lawyer who is in the Senate.
01:42:24.000And you're condemning Trump for something he doesn't even play the same role in the legislative process that Ted Cruz does.
01:42:33.000Ted Cruz actually has to vote for this stuff.
01:42:53.000He dared Republicans to veto a bill that did not include an override of Section 230 or an elimination of Section 230.
01:43:00.000He dared them to override the bill that contained provisions that blocked the withdrawal from Afghanistan and which had the removal of Confederate names from the bases.
01:45:33.000Donald Trump, you know, even though in a lot of ways he was captured by the interests, captured by the usual suspects, Israel Lobby and Club for Growth and the Energy Lobby and agriculture and all that, nevertheless, Trump ran as a big government Republican.0.78
01:45:50.000He ran as somebody that said, we're going to use the state to benefit the people, use the state to protect American workers from foreign competition, use the state to protect American workers from From migrant workers from south of the border.
01:46:04.000We're going to use the state to provide people with health care and withdraw troops, you know, in some ways.0.72
01:46:12.000You know, whereas Cruz would say, don't use the state to protect Americans, use the state to fight foreign wars.
01:47:13.000It doesn't look cool because the animation is not realistic.
01:47:17.000You know, there's something about the animation which, you know, it's something that is hard to articulate.
01:47:26.000But watching two people fight with lightsabers that are real and doing real acrobatics and things compared to watching two cartoon people cartoonishly flipping around.
01:53:14.000Yeah, and I'm, I'm so anti scientific for doubting it.
01:53:18.000And all these people, I'm getting a little defensive because everybody's always like, oh, you don't believe in like, you think that like the earth is hollow and like that the, That the sun revolves around the earth and you don't believe in dinosaurs?
01:57:34.000Black Laser says, I always tell people if they disagree with me or disagree with you or they think you are a fraud that they can always expose you by sending a $5 super chat, calling you out.
01:57:46.000They dodge by saying you're either going to be mean or purity spiral out of it.
01:59:46.000But this like totally weird jazz soundtrack, which is bizarre, and young Jodie Foster and Robert De Niro, and the texture of that movie, it's superior to Drive in every way, in my opinion.
02:00:02.000I like Drive, but I think it's overrated.
02:00:04.000Everybody raves about Drive on our side of Twitter.
02:02:02.000I'm at the point where I almost don't even oppose China or Russia or any of these countries because the American regime is the enemy of the American people.
02:02:15.000And insofar as the power of the American regime is diminished relative to these other powers, that is a good thing for us.0.55
02:02:26.000If the American regime's ability to project power in the world is diminished, Decreases relatively, that is a good thing for us.0.83
02:02:36.000On what grounds should I oppose China?
02:02:40.000And the Biden administration is now pivoting to oppose China.
02:02:45.000Everyone calls him Beijing Biden, but they are adjusting their security posture against China.0.89
02:02:52.000So it's not to say the Chinese aren't infiltrating our government, but.0.97
02:02:58.000You know, when you look at Russia, when you look at China, it's a matter of lesser of two evils.0.93
02:03:07.000The American regime is the biggest threat to the American people.0.53
02:03:12.000And insofar as they have unmitigated ability to project power globally, that's a problem for us because then they control the global institutions.
02:03:25.000They can project power across the globe, except for in these countries like Russia and China.
02:03:34.000For American dissidents, if China had an umbrella of protection in the Pacific theater.
02:03:43.000You know, if you could move to a country in the Pacific or in East Asia and be under the umbrella of Chinese hegemony and not have to fear the arm of the American regime, that's a good thing.
02:03:58.000And if the Chinese or the Russians could build up certain systems, whether it be technology or otherwise, Where you can exist being blacklisted from the American system, that's a good thing for American dissidents.
02:04:13.000What if there were no social media companies, no payment processors, if there was no financial system outside of the American system?
02:04:24.000If you were an American dissident, you would be screwed.
02:04:28.000I mean, where would Edward Snowden go?
02:04:30.000And where would Telegram be headquartered?
02:04:33.000And where would Tencent be headquartered?
02:04:35.000Where would all these different things be?
02:04:38.000If the American regime ruled the world.
02:05:56.000And it's the American administration that's prosecuting all these people.
02:06:00.000It'll be the American IRS that's going to go after conservative nonprofits and audit conservative leaders.
02:06:08.000It's going to be the American regime that puts up an agency of misinformation and anti racism and all this.0.64
02:06:15.000And it's going to be American law enforcement that's going to persecute all this stuff or prosecute all this stuff, not China.
02:06:22.000China, as far as I'm concerned, has nothing to do with it.
02:06:25.000And same with Russia and same with Iran and any of these countries.0.92
02:06:29.000I honestly could not be bothered about Uyghurs or the elections in Belarus or Ukrainian sovereignty or Navalny or any of this shit because we are being persecuted by the regime that occupies this country first and foremost.
02:07:01.000Why should we be concerned about China?0.97
02:07:03.000China, we have got a regime that is flying the flag of gay and trans and BLM in American embassies, but we should be worried about China.0.92
02:08:03.000Huey Long, respecter, says, Remember last summer when Matt Gaetz was arguing with a black senator about Gaetz having a black son while BLM was burning down our cities?
02:08:13.000He's at best a fool that is easily distracted.
02:08:15.000Yeah, I did forget about that, but you're right.0.99
02:08:19.000Baguette Groyper says, I have an IQ of 90 and was unironically comparing acting as a class retard to being the leader of America first.
02:09:13.000Now, we're not against the scientific method and we're not against the natural sciences, but we're against natural science and materialism as an ideology.
02:09:50.000I'm not anti science, I'm against these.
02:09:53.000The dogmatic positions of academics who basically, you know, are not, their credentials mean nothing because these universities are terrible.
02:10:04.000And either way, their research is bullshit.
02:10:08.000Alltype has a really good paper about this, about how research is basically junk.
02:10:13.000And, you know, all this research is being pumped out.
02:10:56.000And when they say we believe in science, what does that mean?
02:11:00.000Does that mean that they really have a scientific disposition?
02:11:03.000Does that mean that they read about race and IQ?
02:11:05.000Does that mean that they read about all that?
02:11:09.000Or does it mean that they accept dogmatically what they're told by pop scientists on TV about climate change, about these kinds of things, these globalist agendas?
02:11:26.000People that say that just don't understand the criticism of science.
02:11:30.000We're pro science, but what are we really talking about here?
02:11:33.000Are we talking about an atheist worldview being pushed by globalist bureaucrats, credentialist bureaucrats, or are we talking about science, right?
02:14:33.000Kevin Bro says Yang was the only Democrat sympathetic to anyone right of center, often centering the slander of right wing extremism as a misplaced anger at one's economic despair.
02:14:43.000When critical race theory became the staple of the Democratic primary, he called Trump a white supremacist and now supports BLM.
02:15:26.000And then the minute that they got on his case because white people supported him, white conservatives, white nationalists are supporting your campaign.
02:16:14.000Fat Gay Retard says, sincere apologies if this has been asked a million times, but since the website seems to be down, how do we watch or subscribe for missed shows?0.86
02:16:23.000Well, you're just going to have to wait, actually.0.52
02:16:27.000Sneaky says the belt, yoba, and knicker.
02:16:55.000Yeah, it came out in 2001, but it was a big movie.
02:16:59.000It was a big movie, and even though I was born in 98, people were still watching Shrek in 2004.
02:17:04.000And Shrek 2 came out, and arguably, Shrek 2 was bigger than Shrek 1.
02:17:10.000And Shrek 2 came out later, and the video game, which I had on PlayStation 2, we all played, and we all watched Shrek 2.
02:17:17.000And I had a Shrek the third birthday party in sixth grade.
02:17:21.000And, you know, people like Braylon Levine are big Shrek fans, and all the TikTok people are big on Shrek.0.97
02:17:28.000Shrek is a big meme for Zoomers, it's a cultural artifact from the early 2000s.
02:17:33.000You are a 90s kid, you are literally a 90s kid.
02:17:36.000Stick to Cat Dog and what you know best.
02:17:38.000We get, maybe you can have Shrek, we can share Shrek, but you get Cat Dog, and we don't.
02:17:45.000Okay, we get SpongeBob and we get Shrek and we get Star Wars, and you could have Cat Dog and you could have Courage the Cowardly Dog and, you know, Dexter's Laboratory, whatever, Samurai Jack.
02:17:58.000Okay, you could have Even Stevens and Phil of the Future.
02:22:31.000And the American regime is an adversary of American dissidents.0.53
02:22:35.000Now, that is not to say that China is our friend, but it is to say that I am not about to tag team with the fucking American regime that is bringing.
02:22:45.000Hell to our doorstep, literally, to take on China.
02:22:49.000Hey, you know, the FBI might break my door in and break all my shit and kill my dog and take all my money and, you know, kill my family and throw me in jail.
02:24:21.000They are going to keep up the defense posture and this recalibrated national security apparatus.
02:24:26.000They're completing and fulfilling Obama's pivot to Asia.
02:24:29.000They brought in the Obama era officials that drafted the pivot to Asia, which wasn't very successful, but they're putting them in with Biden.
02:25:57.000That runs the internet, American Hollywood and media that runs the world until very, very recently.
02:26:03.000And insofar as our personal enemies are in charge of America, they're not only in charge of the national security apparatus and the intelligence agencies and big tech and the Ivy League schools and the bureaucracy and the permanent state and the parties and so on, but that power apparatus runs the global institutions.
02:26:26.000That power apparatus Look up what an extradition treaty is.
02:26:30.000That power apparatus has a pull in every embassy around the world, except for a dozen former communist countries like Venezuela, or current communist countries Venezuela and Cuba and Russia and Kazakhstan and Belarus and Uzbekistan and Iran and China and North Korea.
02:26:51.000And insofar as our enemies run the global system, they can not only destroy us here, but they could destroy us anywhere in the globe.
02:27:02.000And there's nowhere to escape to, and there's no alternate system.0.76
02:27:06.000So, as long as whoever it is China, Russia, Iran, it really doesn't matter as long as these powers are rising relative to American power, it is a benefit to American dissidents.
02:27:20.000Edward Snowden was able to get political asylum in Russia.
02:27:26.000If it was the 1990s and Russia was totally chaotic and totally vulnerable, and it was under Boris Yeltsin.
02:27:33.000Do you think Edward Snowden could seek political asylum in Russia?
02:27:37.000Because America would put their big, disgusting Jewish thumbs in Russia's eyes and they would say, Meh, you know, give us Edward Snowden back or we're going to rape your country to death.0.74
02:29:01.000And, you know, that's not totally outside the realm of possibility.
02:29:05.000Nobody's talking about that, getting banned from 5G, but you understand what I'm saying.0.88
02:29:11.000Yeah, let's beat the Chinese system so that America can lead the system and we can remain unwelcome from the American led system run by people like Stacey Abrams and Kamala Harris and P. Buttigieg, right?0.97
02:30:40.000And insofar as it's doing that, it is good when the American regime is diminished in its global posture.
02:30:47.000Because, you know, any other country, any other country filling that vacuum would be people that it is their priority to destroy us because political dissent is a challenge to their rule in America.
02:31:02.000I'm explaining to you just a very basic.
02:31:05.000Phenomenon about political power and how this works in the world.
02:31:09.000I'm not trying to oppose the government.
02:31:11.000I'm not trying to oppose the American government.
02:31:14.000Let the record show that I'm not sponsored by foreign entities.
02:31:18.000I'm not involved with foreign entities at all.
02:31:21.000But I'm saying that the American regime persecutes American dissidents.
02:31:26.000It is just a descriptive fact that as America's rivals rise up, this is just descriptive, American dissidents are able to seek refuge in alternate.
02:31:37.000Global systems like a Chinese alternative economic system or something like that.
02:33:14.000Hardcore iron noobs, his war with China will be nothing but a meat grinder, and they'll be happy to send every patriotic fighting age male ad at that is no accident.0.59
