America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - Disney Rapes Star Wars | America First Ep. 72

00:00:01.000 Good evening, everybody.

00:00:02.000 You are watching America First.

00:00:04.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes, and we have a great show for you tonight.

00:00:10.000 Nothing to talk about, nothing in the news today.

00:00:12.000 Usually we say we have a lot of great stories.

00:00:17.000 Not a lot of great stories, not any stories, actually, at all.

00:00:20.000 I'm watching the news today.

00:00:22.000 We have the tax bill passes, which we've been talking about that for years, I feel like, for weeks at the least, talking about.

00:00:34.000 The House tax bill, the Senate tax bill, it's got clearance to go into the conference committee, and Bob Corker and Rubio are on board, and it's expected to be passed, and now it's passed.

00:00:46.000 Oh, but there's a couple of things that contradict the Senate rule, so it'll have to be voted on in the House again.

00:00:54.000 And so that happened.

00:00:57.000 There was a train derailment yesterday.

00:00:58.000 There was another missile, the same stuff in the Middle East, so it's the same stuff.

00:01:04.000 Same shoes, different socks, but.

00:01:07.000 But here is something newsworthy.

00:01:09.000 Here is what we have to talk about tonight.

00:01:13.000 The only thing, the only thing that we have to talk about tonight, and that is Star Wars The Last Jedi.

00:01:20.000 Folks, you warned me.

00:01:22.000 I was warned by my viewers.

00:01:25.000 I was warned by my friends.

00:01:27.000 I was warned by many people, e friends and regular friends alike, not to see the movie, that it wasn't going to be good.

00:01:37.000 And I did not.

00:01:38.000 Heed the warning.

00:01:39.000 Now, I was going to go whether it was good or not.

00:01:41.000 I basically took everybody's word for it that it was going to be awful.

00:01:45.000 You know, there was that disparity between the critics' scores of the movie and the audience score of the movie.

00:01:51.000 I believe the audience scored it at 55% said it was good on Rotten Tomatoes, compared to something like 93% from the critics.

00:02:03.000 And I went into it knowing essentially that everybody, it was almost universally panned, not only by people in the movement, not only by people in the right, but I mean, just moviegoers in general, but it's Star Wars.

00:02:15.000 It was my childhood.

00:02:17.000 You got to go just to see what happens.

00:02:19.000 You got to go just to see what's going to happen.

00:02:21.000 I mean, Force Awakens was terrible.

00:02:24.000 Rogue One was terrible, in my opinion.

00:02:26.000 And I expected, I didn't have, you know, very high expectations for episode eight, but you want to go to see what happens.

00:02:32.000 And I saw it this afternoon.

00:02:34.000 And here's another thing before I get into it.

00:02:36.000 Okay, so I'm driving to the theater, and not a lot of people in the parking lot, but you have people that are driving just.

00:02:45.000 All across, driving over the parking spaces, and I don't know why, but that just really makes me mad.

00:02:52.000 There's an order to things.

00:02:54.000 It should be like streets.

00:02:55.000 It should be very easy for everybody, at least polite and considerate, that you go and you take a right, you know, when you're supposed to go down your lane and you go by the lanes.

00:03:04.000 You don't just, yeah, I'll just cut right across the whole thing.

00:03:06.000 So, anyway, then I go into the movie theater, and there's, I guess, this kid in front of me who must have had autism or something.

00:03:15.000 I don't know if he was actually autistic or if he had ADD or.

00:03:18.000 What was going on there?

00:03:20.000 But the kid in front of me, he had this little bespectacled little buddy in front of me, like directly in front of me, and the whole time jumping out of his seat, yelling, whispering to his dad.

00:03:32.000 And I'm sitting there, like, you know, at the very least, I'm not enjoying the movie, but at the very least, I would like to have a chance to enjoy the movie by watching it without interruption from this little guy.

00:03:45.000 And the dad doesn't even say anything, not even.

00:03:49.000 I mean, every now and again he says, be quiet.

00:03:51.000 But how about stop talking?

00:03:53.000 Not be quiet.

00:03:54.000 You shouldn't be talking.

00:03:56.000 So, on top of the fact that it wasn't a great movie, the experience was not great.

00:04:03.000 Maybe I'm just a complainer, maybe that's just me, but that was the atmosphere.

00:04:08.000 Now, to the movie, to the analysis, there will be spoilers about the movie.

00:04:13.000 If people are going to watch the Star Wars episode of this show and think, you know, we're not going to talk about things that go on, there are going to be spoilers.

00:04:22.000 But nobody should see the movie anyway, okay?

00:04:25.000 Nobody should be seeing any movies anyway.

00:04:28.000 So, you shouldn't even be upset if you haven't seen it if I spoil it for you.

00:04:31.000 So, I go in, I watch the movie, and the movie picks up where Force Awakens left off, where you have the Resistance versus the New Order, where the Resistance is like the Rebels from the original trilogy.

00:04:47.000 The New Order is like the Empire.

00:04:50.000 And the whole movie essentially is this cat and mouse thing.

00:04:54.000 I'm expecting, and I think people come into it with the expectation that there will be.

00:05:00.000 Plot that there will be like you start out somewhere and you end up somewhere after trial, and there will be character development.

00:05:10.000 Star Wars did this really cool thing where they scrapped all that and they just said, Let's just have a bunch of action sequences.

00:05:17.000 Let's just start out with a big action sequence, and then a bunch of stuff will happen, and people will be dead, and we'll end with the big action sequence.

00:05:26.000 I mean, you really, there really wasn't much growth here.

00:05:29.000 You start out with the resistance versus the new order.

00:05:33.000 And I don't know, how did it start out?

00:05:35.000 They were, you know, the resistance was discovered by the New Order.

00:05:39.000 Their base was uncovered and they're under attack and they have to escape.

00:05:44.000 And they escape, but uh oh, the New Order followed them and now they ran out of fuel.

00:05:50.000 So they're just in a stalemate, chasing each other very slowly through space.

00:05:55.000 And then they mount a daring second escape and they get to another base, but uh oh, the New Order follows them there too.

00:06:04.000 And they have to escape from there.

00:06:06.000 And they do.

00:06:07.000 And that was the whole movie we're trying to escape.

00:06:11.000 They found us.

00:06:12.000 We have to escape.

00:06:13.000 They found us again and again.

00:06:16.000 But then they end up and they escape and everybody's okay.

00:06:18.000 So, I mean, that's the summary of the plot, essentially, is this cat and mouse game.

00:06:24.000 And I'm thinking back while I'm watching it to the first trilogy and I'm thinking, is that, did this happen in the first trilogy?

00:06:31.000 No.

00:06:32.000 Did this happen in the prequel trilogy?

00:06:34.000 No.

00:06:35.000 In both of these movies, there was plot.

00:06:37.000 There were.

00:06:38.000 Things going on.

00:06:39.000 There was, you know, Luke was training and the Death Star was being rebuilt and the Death Star was destroyed.

00:06:46.000 And, you know, you had Boba Fett who was tasked to go out and find these people.

00:06:50.000 And in this movie, it was, excuse me, it was just, I don't know, just really didn't form a coherent whole for me.

00:06:57.000 But on top of that, you have the entire movie is just the social justice movie.

00:07:04.000 And this is why it's so important.

00:07:06.000 This is the why we're talking about this.

00:07:08.000 When you look at the narrative that's in this movie, And you consider how many people will watch this movie, not just this weekend, but over the course of the year and over the course of the next 20 years, and how impactful movies like this and others will be in the lives, not of us, doesn't matter so much with people like me and people like you, but with children, with children in particular.

00:07:33.000 You have to realize that when Disney goes out and they buy Marvel and they buy Lucasfilm or LucasArts and they buy up all of the entertainment for children and they have Pixar and they have everything, and you consider that your youngest children, and we're talking toddlers up through like middle and high school, their sole source of knowledge for the most part outside of school and their parents is culture, is media.

00:08:02.000 For things outside of their experience, Their perspective is wholly dependent on pop culture, on media, on movies, television.

00:08:13.000 You know, think about what the programming is on the Disney Channel.

00:08:17.000 Think about the sitcoms that are on the Disney Channel and what they teach, what they purport to teach.

00:08:22.000 Things like conflict resolution, things like tolerance, how to share.

00:08:27.000 I mean, most kids, when they're watching television, whether it's educational or otherwise, when they're watching hours of television or they're watching a movie, what they are doing is they are internalizing.

00:08:40.000 Patterns and models of behavior.

00:08:42.000 They're internalizing perspectives about the world.

00:08:46.000 And it's very subconscious.

00:08:47.000 You don't have to go very Alex Jones like there's back masking or anything like that, like it's deliberate that they're putting subliminal messages, but simply that when children sit down in front of the television or in front of the movie screen, subconsciously they are internalizing what they see on the screen.

00:09:06.000 The models of behavior, the patterns of behavior, the perspectives, the lens through which they see these things.

00:09:13.000 And that's why this is important.

00:09:14.000 That's why we talk about this.

00:09:15.000 If it was, you know, if we were talking about an adult movie, it would not matter.

00:09:20.000 If we were talking about like a very obscure, like rated R action movie like Sicario or something like that, we wouldn't be talking about it because, you know, that's a movie for adults and it's entertainment and people go and they watch a movie and they come home and that's it.

00:09:37.000 But when we talk about these big blockbusters, the big Disney movies, the big Marvel movies, the big Star Wars movies, These are the blockbusters.

00:09:46.000 These are the ones that everybody's going to see.

00:09:48.000 This is the common culture, the common American experience where, in 10 or 15 years, when these kids are grown up, that's how they'll relate to each other and to the world and how they themselves will interact with other things, that frame of reference.

00:10:04.000 When they go into the workplace or in high school or in college, they'll think back to Hannah Montana.

00:10:10.000 They'll think back to Drake and Josh.

00:10:12.000 When they make decisions, when they think what they want to do with their life, they'll think of, Their heroes, their role models from the movies, from culture.

00:10:21.000 And that's why it's important.

00:10:22.000 So, Star Wars, one of the biggest movies of the year, one of the biggest box offices of the year.

00:10:28.000 And we have here in this movie something that is just saturated, something that is just overflowing with narrative, overflowing with subtext about politics and about ideology.

00:10:42.000 Very, very troubling stuff.

00:10:44.000 And the first most noticeable thing that I see in this movie is. 1.00

00:10:50.000 Anti white. 0.99

00:10:51.000 And I know, you know, that's kind of our thing on this show. 0.79

00:10:53.000 We talk about anti white. 0.97

00:10:55.000 But it really couldn't be made more apparent that in the Star Wars universe, in the new sequel trilogy, this is not a universe that is welcoming to white people. 0.92

00:11:06.000 This movie going experience is not meant to be comfortable for white people. 0.60

00:11:11.000 It's not meant to be welcoming to white people. 0.74

00:11:13.000 It's not even meant to be nice or tolerant of white people.

00:11:17.000 You watch this movie and the resistance, the good guys, Every other background character, every other extra in this movie is either black or Asian or a woman. 0.89

00:11:31.000 I should say it's not friendly to white men. 0.62

00:11:33.000 Because in every frame, when you're cutting to when the woman's giving her big speech, the rebel alliance or the resistance is full of black men and black women and women. 0.94

00:11:44.000 And when they're cutting through the different people that are flying the fighter jets, the space fighters, whatever you want to call it, it's blacks, it's women, it's minorities, and it's aliens. 0.91

00:11:56.000 And who are the bad guys? 0.89

00:11:57.000 The bad guys in the movie, the New Order, it's all white guys. 0.95

00:12:00.000 It's all angry. 0.99

00:12:02.000 Not only is it white guys, But it's all angry white males. 0.92

00:12:05.000 You look at the resistance, the good guys, the heroes, and it's women. 0.94

00:12:09.000 It's Rey, the woman Jedi.

00:12:11.000 It's Princess Leia, the woman general. 0.93

00:12:14.000 It's her purple haired feminist successor, who's the general, the woman. 0.95

00:12:18.000 It's Rose, the Asian woman, who's the daring technician. 1.00

00:12:22.000 And a bunch of black people. 0.76

00:12:24.000 And ostensibly, I think he's Portuguese, is Poe Dammer, and the one white type character. 0.97

00:12:32.000 And then the evil guys, the bad guys. 0.99

00:12:35.000 The Empire, the New Order, they're villains.

00:12:38.000 Who is it? 1.00

00:12:39.000 It's all white men. 1.00

00:12:40.000 It's General Hucks, who's an angry, pathetic, weaselly white man. 1.00

00:12:46.000 Kylo Ren, who's an angry, juvenile white man. 1.00

00:12:51.000 Supreme Leader Snoke, who's an angry, old white man.

00:12:56.000 And you see right off the bat the subconscious messaging in there for any child that's watching this movie.

00:13:02.000 What is the subconscious messaging in this movie?

00:13:05.000 You don't have to, you know, we're not coming up with a conspiracy here.

00:13:09.000 But children sit in front of this television and they watch this movie.

00:13:13.000 And this is an important movie.

00:13:15.000 It's a big movie.

00:13:16.000 They look forward to it.

00:13:17.000 It's their action figures, it's their Legos, it's what they talk about with their friends.

00:13:21.000 And the villain is the angry white male that we hear so much about in media.

00:13:27.000 And the heroes are the diverse cast of based women and based black people.

00:13:33.000 And isn't that great? 0.85

00:13:35.000 So that's number one.

00:13:36.000 That's number one.

00:13:37.000 The diversity, I think, is meant to make.

00:13:39.000 White people feel uncomfortable, and white people are the ones that are going to patronize this movie.

00:13:44.000 Number two, with regards to the anti white agenda in this movie, is Luke Skywalker, the character of Luke Skywalker.

00:13:51.000 Now, he comes on the scene, and he wasn't in Force Awakens.

00:13:56.000 He only appeared at the very end of Force Awakens for literally like a frame, and he doesn't even say anything.

00:14:03.000 This one, he's much more prominent.

00:14:06.000 Ray, who's the female Jedi, she goes to find him, she discovers him.

00:14:10.000 That's where they leave off after episode seven, Force Awakens.

00:14:14.000 And she wants him to go and save the Resistance and go and be the hero.

00:14:19.000 And she wants him to train her in the ways of the Force.

00:14:22.000 And it's very interesting what they did with the Luke Skywalker character.

00:14:25.000 And this is something that Mark Hamill, the actor, was not happy about.

00:14:30.000 If you watch in all the interviews of Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy and in this trilogy, he was pissed about how the director wrote Luke Skywalker in this new trilogy.

00:14:43.000 He wrote him in as a bitter hermit who is angry. 0.99

00:14:47.000 Who wants the Jedi to end, who is in a lot of ways kind of incompetent and kind of stupid. 0.98

00:14:54.000 And it represents a lot of things, I think, for our culture, which is that Luke Skywalker was the visage of hope and of optimism, and he was a strong warrior. 0.98

00:15:07.000 You know, if you recall in the original trilogy, you had this real hero's journey where he started out and he was just a farmer's kid, kind of a dopey, happy go lucky kind of a kid.

00:15:18.000 He discovers he has these talents.

00:15:20.000 He's marked for greatness.

00:15:22.000 He fits into this big puzzle.

00:15:23.000 He's the son of the most hated man in the galaxy.

00:15:27.000 Through all kinds of trial and strife, training with Yoda, fighting Darth Vader, he becomes a warrior.

00:15:34.000 He becomes a true Jedi master.

00:15:36.000 And he becomes who he is, who he was meant to be.

00:15:39.000 And he fulfills his obligation as his grand story.

00:15:42.000 He brings balance to the whole galaxy, defeats the Empire.

00:15:46.000 You know, this is a powerful character.

00:15:46.000 It's great.

00:15:49.000 This is a powerful mythology.

00:15:52.000 It's a powerful legend.

00:15:54.000 And he talks about that in this new movie.

00:15:56.000 And in this new movie, they reevaluate that.

00:15:58.000 They take that really great story.

00:16:01.000 About Luke Skywalker being pure of heart and he converts Darth Vader and he's a great warrior.

00:16:07.000 He brings balance to the Force.

00:16:09.000 And they take that great story and they cast doubt on that.

00:16:13.000 They put that in the shadow of doubt.

00:16:15.000 And they have Luke Skywalker in this new movie saying, actually, the Jedi Order, the Jedi who are cool and the good guys and you dress up like them for Halloween, actually, they're terrible. 0.76

00:16:29.000 They're a failure. 1.00

00:16:30.000 They're losers. 1.00

00:16:31.000 They made mistakes. 1.00

00:16:32.000 They were arrogant. 0.57

00:16:34.000 They were not all they were cracked up to be.

00:16:36.000 And Luke Skywalker is nothing but a legend.

00:16:39.000 He's not all he was cracked up to be.

00:16:41.000 He's actually just another man, probably worse, and probably caused more harm than good.

00:16:49.000 And what does that say?

00:16:50.000 What is the message?

00:16:51.000 What is the subtext for any child that's watching this?

00:16:55.000 All those stories that we heard about the white man, all those stories that we heard about the legends of how great we were, our mythology, our heroes for our country.

00:17:06.000 Not all it's cracked up to be.

00:17:08.000 Actually, it was, if you actually look at it, it's the well, actually narrative.

00:17:13.000 It's the Howard's Inn narrative.

00:17:15.000 Actually, if you look at it this way, it was evil.

00:17:19.000 It was bad.

00:17:20.000 It was a failure.

00:17:21.000 It was just a legend.

00:17:22.000 Nothing more.

00:17:23.000 A nice little fantasy people told themselves to feel good about themselves.

00:17:27.000 That's what this movie says about Luke Skywalker.

00:17:31.000 And that's what it says to white people, white men in particular.

00:17:34.000 And it's up to people like Ray. 0.82

00:17:36.000 A woman and Finn, the black stormtrooper, that no, they're actually the real deal.

00:17:43.000 Luke Skywalker, he was a legend.

00:17:45.000 His time is over.

00:17:47.000 Now it's time for Ray and Finn.

00:17:49.000 They're real, they're true, they have morals. 0.92

00:17:52.000 But that old white stuff, yeah, forget it. 0.56

00:17:54.000 So that's the anti white, the diversity stuff. 0.70

00:17:58.000 That was pretty noticeable compared to some of the other stuff. 0.70

00:18:03.000 This is sort of in line with the anti white stuff. 0.89

00:18:05.000 There was also this scene which really stuck out to me. 0.88

00:18:09.000 Stuck out like a sore thumb, where I didn't really notice outside of the obvious forced diversity.

00:18:15.000 I didn't really pick up on the narrative until this scene.

00:18:20.000 Towards the middle, Luke Skywalker says, You know what, Ray?

00:18:24.000 You don't know what you're doing.

00:18:25.000 Get off of my island. 0.97

00:18:27.000 I can't deal with you anymore. 0.85

00:18:29.000 So she goes away.

00:18:30.000 And Luke Skywalker says, It's time.

00:18:33.000 I'm going to end the Jedi.

00:18:34.000 I've made a terrible mistake.

00:18:36.000 I trained Han Solo's kid, and he turned into Kylo Ren, and it went very terribly.

00:18:41.000 Now I have to take it upon myself and end the Jedi Order.

00:18:45.000 So he's on this island all by himself, and this is an ancient Jedi island where they have the ancient Jedi texts, the ancient Jedi structures and temples and everything, and that's where the Jedi were trained.

00:19:00.000 And he goes over to where the temple is, he goes to where the sacred texts are, and he goes to light it on fire.

00:19:05.000 He goes to burn all of the sacred traditions, the sacred and esoteric traditions of the Jedi.

00:19:12.000 He says they're not worth anything anymore.

00:19:15.000 We have to destroy them. 0.82

00:19:17.000 But then he has a moment of doubt. 0.79

00:19:18.000 He says, Actually, I don't know.

00:19:20.000 And then Yoda appears.

00:19:21.000 Yoda appears in ghost form and he forces Luke's hand and he burns it down himself.

00:19:27.000 And he says, You know, Luke, all those sacred texts, all those traditions that you cared so much about that are now burning in front of us, did you even read any of those books?

00:19:37.000 Did you even read any of those books?

00:19:39.000 They weren't real page turners.

00:19:42.000 And right when he said that, I thought, Wow, how explicit, how overt can you be that you have Yoda from the original trilogy and he is the wise Jedi Master?

00:19:55.000 He is.

00:19:56.000 He's the elder, the wise one.

00:19:58.000 He's in all the movies, the smartest one, the most powerful one.

00:20:02.000 And he appears there to burn down, to set on fire the ancient text, to set on fire the ancient temple, to burn the traditions.

00:20:13.000 And then when Luke Skywalker says, You know, what are you doing?

00:20:17.000 I am having some second thoughts about this.

00:20:20.000 Yoda comes at him with this snark, with this like generation, I guess, generation Y, this millennial snark of.

00:20:31.000 You probably didn't even read the books.

00:20:32.000 They were real page turners, huh?

00:20:35.000 I mean, that sounds like something straight out of BuzzFeed.

00:20:38.000 That sounds like something straight out of MTV. 0.50

00:20:40.000 You know, you're telling these people, actually, you know, our country was 80% white, and then it actually became 90% white through immigration and through our own fertility rate.

00:20:51.000 And they say, we don't care.

00:20:53.000 We don't care about the traditions.

00:20:55.000 We don't care about the facts.

00:20:56.000 We don't care about the history.

00:20:59.000 Did you even read any of that?

00:21:00.000 It's not even like a real page turner.

00:21:01.000 I mean, you could think of what.

00:21:04.000 Yoda did in this movie is essentially what the media is doing to the Bible.

00:21:09.000 They're setting it on fire and they're saying, it's a bunch of old books.

00:21:13.000 Did you even read the old books?

00:21:16.000 Did you even, you know, they're really boring.

00:21:18.000 Why even bother reading them?

00:21:20.000 Right?

00:21:21.000 And then he goes on to say, not only should we not read these books or care about them because they're boring and, you know, nobody reads them anymore, but then he also says, he also says about the ancient traditions, about the ancient books.

00:21:36.000 He says that actually, we don't need them anyway.

00:21:39.000 We don't need the traditions because Ray, the woman, she's already got them in her.

00:21:44.000 She just feels it.

00:21:45.000 She just kind of, even though she didn't receive any training, even though she received no formal training, she didn't go through a rite of passage, no initiation, no mentorship, because of her feelings, because I guess she's like empowered and she's a woman, she already knows everything she needs to know.

00:22:05.000 She doesn't need to read the books.

00:22:07.000 She doesn't need to go through the rite of passage.

00:22:09.000 She doesn't need to be initiated.

00:22:10.000 She doesn't need the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next.

00:22:15.000 Actually, forget it. 1.00

00:22:16.000 The Jedi Order, the Force, it's this hippie dippy kind of do what you want, feel what you want, and we can burn the books, and the women can lead the way with their feelings. 0.88

00:22:27.000 And I saw this scene and I thought, okay, so it's very obvious the narrative. 0.68

00:22:32.000 It's very obvious what the subtext is here for the kids, which is literally burn the books.

00:22:39.000 Tradition doesn't matter.

00:22:40.000 What's old doesn't matter. 0.77

00:22:42.000 It's old, it's silly, it's not interesting, it's boring, and it was inside of us all along.

00:22:48.000 I mean, think of it. 0.94

00:22:49.000 Think of the parallel between this scene in Star Wars, if you've seen it, and what has happened to Christianity. 0.66

00:22:56.000 What they do in Star Wars is they burn the texts, they burn the tradition, they burn the temple, and they say the Jedi Order was within us all along. 0.66

00:23:05.000 The Jedi Order was the friends we made along the way, not the books and everything.

00:23:09.000 And what have they done to Christianity? 0.54

00:23:11.000 They burned the Bible, they burned the church, they burned the Latin Vulgate, they burned the clergy, they burned everything, and they said Jesus Christ was just this feeling of kindness all along.

00:23:22.000 I mean, it's the same thing.

00:23:24.000 It's the same thing.

00:23:25.000 So it's not projection to say that this is a very serious philosophical message that our kids are getting, that the youth is getting through movies like this.

00:23:35.000 When they see, you know, that, and even it's an old movie, too, the old movie even lore.

00:23:42.000 Is being set on fire. 0.99

00:23:44.000 And in a more symbolic way, tradition is being set on fire to give way to this universalist, humanist spirit, secular humanist spirit of don't be an asshole, Reddit logic. 0.99

00:23:57.000 So there was that. 0.99

00:23:58.000 That scene was very striking.

00:24:00.000 And then overall, overall in the movie, this is another subtle thing which I don't think a lot of people caught, but the snark of the movie, this like cheap and silly humor throughout the movie, it started out with this horrible joke.

00:24:16.000 In the beginning of the movie, and I don't even want to like reenact it because it made my skin crawl, it made me uncomfortable to be in the theater.

00:24:26.000 It starts out with this cringe joke, and it just continues throughout the whole movie these cringy, just cheap, lame, like self aware, ironic jokes.

00:24:37.000 And it just takes away not only does it take away from like the experience, but it takes away from the quality of the movie.

00:24:44.000 It takes away from, I think, everything when you cheapen the experience with that kind of humor.

00:24:50.000 Star Wars should take itself seriously.

00:24:53.000 You know, it's a good movie.

00:24:54.000 It's a movie that a lot of people love and it's fun and it's great.

00:24:59.000 And you didn't have that in the original trilogy.

00:25:01.000 In the original trilogy, they were more concerned with telling a story than they were with like reminding everybody that it's a movie, reminding everybody that, you know, actually we're cool and self aware and ironic and this is just like a silly little movie.

00:25:17.000 And there's a lot to be said about that.

00:25:19.000 There's a lot to be said for.

00:25:21.000 Taking yourself seriously.

00:25:23.000 You know, one of the things that Marvel, or rather DC, got right with their Batman vs. Superman movie was that that was a superhero movie that took itself seriously.

00:25:33.000 Dark Knight, even, that was a movie that took itself seriously.

00:25:37.000 If you compare, for example, Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight movie with any Marvel movie like Iron Man or Captain America or Avengers, the Dark Knight, people consider it like a very good movie outside of just the context of the comic books and liking the brand.

00:25:54.000 Because it took itself seriously.

00:25:56.000 It said these are serious characters with serious motivations, and there's really something to be dissected here.

00:26:03.000 This is an important and interesting mythology, and we could make a statement with this.

00:26:07.000 We could go with this and tell a really profound story versus Marvel, which says, We're going to blow stuff up.

00:26:15.000 Oh, look, isn't this funny?

00:26:16.000 Isn't this cool?

00:26:17.000 LOL, we're all in tights.

00:26:18.000 We're just goofy superheroes.

00:26:20.000 And that's kind of what Star Wars 8 was with this cheap. 0.96

00:26:25.000 And silly and snarky humor. 0.71

00:26:27.000 And that is something that millennials do. 0.99

00:26:30.000 And millennials kind of invented this. 0.93

00:26:32.000 Generation Z does this as well. 0.99

00:26:33.000 But millennials invented this, which is they suck the life, they suck the importance, the gravitas out of everything. 0.98

00:26:43.000 Everything is snarky, everything is ironic, everything is cheap. 0.97

00:26:48.000 That's why we have no cathedrals, that's why we have no presidents anymore, no leaders in the country anymore, you know, outside of Donald Trump. 0.90

00:26:55.000 And And even our celebrities are these plebs, are these snarky plebs. 0.83

00:27:02.000 I mean, it's a generation that just does not take anything seriously. 1.00

00:27:06.000 Everything is just a big joke. 0.51

00:27:07.000 And that may sound like a very superficial, kind of an asinine point, but really think about it.

00:27:13.000 Like, they can't even, you're making this movie, you're making this Star Wars movie, and they can't even commit to the Star Wars story.

00:27:22.000 They can't even commit to saying, we're going to tell a really good Star Wars story and we're going to give the fans what they want without every one of the characters at one point or another saying, like, turning and breaking the fourth wall and saying, LOL, isn't this all just silly?

00:27:37.000 Isn't this all just a joke? 0.56

00:27:39.000 Isn't this all just a goofy, silly thing? 0.58

00:27:42.000 I mean, later on in the movie, I'll give you an example.

00:27:46.000 Luke Skywalker meets Princess Leia, his twin sister, for the first time in like generations.

00:27:55.000 You know, he goes into exile after he trains his sister's kid, and the kid kills his dad, and he goes to the dark side, and you know, it's a big family affair.

00:28:06.000 He causes a lot of trouble.

00:28:07.000 And so there's this long time, so many things have happened since they've seen each other.

00:28:12.000 Princess Leia's husband dies, Han Solo dies, and it's been a long time, and there's politics and so many things.

00:28:20.000 And he finally sees her for the first time, and she says, Wait, I know what you're going to say.

00:28:26.000 I got a new haircut.

00:28:27.000 And it's like, Come on. 0.97

00:28:29.000 I mean, it just sucks all the life.

00:28:32.000 Anybody who would have committed to the movie, anybody who suspends their disbelief for a moment to partake in the movie and to invest in the characters, it's all gone.

00:28:42.000 It's all lost with that joke.

00:28:44.000 Because it's like, You know, these family members, all these things happen.

00:28:48.000 They meet each other for the first time and they don't embrace like human beings would.

00:28:53.000 They don't show vulnerability.

00:28:55.000 There's no tears.

00:28:56.000 There's no emotions.

00:28:57.000 It's, hey, I got a new haircut.

00:29:00.000 LOL.

00:29:00.000 I mean, that's, and that's what this generation is with religion, with culture, with architecture, with art.

00:29:09.000 It's just taking a big fat dump on everything and then laughing at it.

00:29:13.000 And that's this generation. 0.88

00:29:14.000 So, There was that.

00:29:17.000 That was something throughout the movie, and even in the last one.

00:29:20.000 I couldn't quite put my finger on it with the last one.

00:29:22.000 I noticed the same thing, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

00:29:25.000 I definitely got it with this one, where I said, you know, it's not taking itself seriously, and nobody takes themselves seriously. 1.00

00:29:32.000 And then you have the feminism. 1.00

00:29:35.000 That is really what's at the core of this movie, and fundamentally what's at the core of every movie nowadays is girl power. 0.70

00:29:43.000 And this is the thing that I took the most issue with, which is the successor to Luke Skywalker. 0.76

00:29:49.000 The successor to Anakin Skywalker is supposed to be Rey, this woman who she comes onto the scene and she knows how to do everything, right?

00:30:00.000 I mean, that's what the Star Wars story is about. 0.83

00:30:03.000 There's no hero arc, there's no character development because she starts out perfectly capable, perfectly skilled. 0.73

00:30:11.000 She's smarter than Luke Skywalker, she's smarter than Yoda.

00:30:14.000 Hey, maybe this wacky girl knows a thing that us fuddy duddies just don't.

00:30:21.000 And that's the most problematic part about this movie is that fundamentally it is just paying lip service.

00:30:27.000 It is just the most overbearing, over the top propaganda for this girl power feminist thing, where you have the whole storyline, the whole trilogy revolves around this girl Jedi who she gets discovered by Finn in the first movie, and she's tougher than Finn.

00:30:44.000 She beats the hell out of all the bad guys, and Finn is cowering like a little girl. 0.64

00:30:48.000 She's already tough.

00:30:52.000 She gets in the Millennium Falcon in the first one, and she's already so gifted.

00:30:57.000 She can fly it better than Han Solo.

00:30:59.000 She can fly it better than everybody.

00:31:01.000 Already, she's the best at that.

00:31:03.000 Then she discovers she's a force user and she's already better with the lightsaber than Kylo Ren.

00:31:08.000 She beats him.

00:31:10.000 And then in this movie, she meets Luke Skywalker and she says, Please train me.

00:31:15.000 And he's like, No, I can't do it.

00:31:16.000 Finally, she convinces him and she's just so powerful, so powerful with the force and with the lightsaber that Luke refuses to train her again because the power of this woman is like galaxy stopping.

00:31:32.000 She's so tough, she's so good at it.

00:31:36.000 And then she takes off and she says, You know what?

00:31:38.000 There's nothing left for me here to learn.

00:31:40.000 I'm going to do what I know is best.

00:31:43.000 And Luke warns her and says, It's not what you think it is.

00:31:46.000 But she's too smart and she goes in and actually turns out pretty much okay.

00:31:51.000 Like she goes in to General or Supreme Leader Snoke's ship and she thinks she's going to turn Kylo Ren and she's going to do this big thing.

00:32:01.000 It doesn't quite work out.

00:32:02.000 Like she was kind of wrong.

00:32:03.000 She got tricked a little bit, but it doesn't matter because she's so powerful that it works anyway.

00:32:08.000 She convinces Kylo Ren.

00:32:10.000 To save her in the end, and it turns out okay.

00:32:13.000 And then Yoda appears to Luke Skywalker and says, You know, actually, we can learn a thing or two from her.

00:32:19.000 She's the one that we need to care about.

00:32:21.000 And so that's the plot of the movie it's this woman who, you know, she's just head and shoulders better than the men, she's head and shoulders better than tradition.

00:32:31.000 She's got it all figured out. 0.98

00:32:33.000 She's the dangerous woman. 1.00

00:32:35.000 And then throughout the movie, you have General Princess Leia, and she's the badass commander woman. 1.00

00:32:41.000 When she goes away, she's succeeded by another woman in the chain of command. 0.78

00:32:45.000 And she gives this very, you know, feminist lecture to Poe Dameron and saying basically, mischief, troublemaking, risk taking, all the things that are masculine, we can't have it in the resistance.

00:32:59.000 It has no place here. 0.88

00:33:01.000 And then you have Rose, the Chinese character, the Chinese woman, and she's tough and smart.

00:33:05.000 And that was just a completely unnecessary storyline.

00:33:09.000 And the takeaway from this movie, I think at the Core of it is it's this feminist dogma, and this is every movie now.

00:33:16.000 Women being pushed to the front and being told, You are men, you win, and you're tough, and you're smart, and you're great, and you should be like men, and you're better than men, and you are men.

00:33:30.000 And that's the most damaging thing of all.

00:33:31.000 You could excuse, I think you could excuse everything else as maybe that's projection, maybe it's not happening, maybe it doesn't even matter that much.

00:33:40.000 But that you have little boys and girls watching this, and it's fundamentally changing their perception of.

00:33:46.000 Of what is a man and what is a woman, and that you cannot have.

00:33:50.000 You never had this 20, 30 years ago. 0.98

00:33:53.000 You didn't have this narrative where it was necessary that, oh, actually, the woman is just tougher and smarter.

00:34:00.000 Oh, actually, it turns out in an ironic and funny twist, the woman is cooler and tougher than the boys.

00:34:06.000 You didn't have that 20 or 30 years ago in any movie.

00:34:10.000 Men were men and women were women.

00:34:12.000 And it's telling that in this movie, Rey, the Jedi, She doesn't prevail because of her femininity. 0.55

00:34:19.000 It would be one thing if that were the case. 0.96

00:34:21.000 I mean, we're qualifying this with all kinds of, even if it were this way, even if it were that way, because it's so toxic. 0.93

00:34:28.000 Even if, you know, she was the hero, but if she became the hero because she was feminine and she was modest and coy and, you know, all the things that women should be, you could excuse it. 0.86

00:34:40.000 But she's the hero because she's gritty, because she's nasty, she's mean, and she's just like Luke Skywalker, but, you know, even better. 0.93

00:34:51.000 And that's what the youngsters are picking up is that this is what the woman is supposed to be. 0.73

00:34:55.000 You know, what does that say for the young boy that's watching it, who they're trying to find a role model in this movie and they can't find one?

00:35:03.000 For the young white male that's watching this movie, can they find a role model here?

00:35:07.000 Maybe Kylo Ren, is that the kind of person?

00:35:09.000 You know, I guess they're creating a self fulfilling prophecy with that one.

00:35:13.000 Or they're going to have to look up to mommy, to feminist based Jedi warrior Rey, or based black Jedi. 1.00

00:35:24.000 And what are the women going to look up to? 1.00

00:35:26.000 That's. 1.00

00:35:27.000 That's their model for behavior.

00:35:29.000 They're going to model their patterns of behavior off of Rey.

00:35:32.000 They're not going to act pleasant and coy and kind of modest and shy and cute.

00:35:39.000 No, they're going to be tough.

00:35:40.000 They got to be Jedi.

00:35:41.000 They got to be superheroes.

00:35:42.000 They got to be like Wonder Woman.

00:35:44.000 They got to be like Rey.

00:35:45.000 They got to be like that cool Zendaya girl in Spider Man.

00:35:52.000 And that's an issue.

00:35:52.000 We can't have it.

00:35:53.000 We have to have men and women.

00:35:55.000 So that's Star Wars.

00:35:58.000 I don't know.

00:35:59.000 I'm just very disappointed.

00:36:01.000 Why can we not have, we cannot have like one thing?

00:36:04.000 There's not one thing that is safe anymore from politics.

00:36:09.000 You can't have your late night shows.

00:36:11.000 You can't have your regular television shows.

00:36:13.000 You can't have comedy shows, comedy specials, and you can't have Star Wars.

00:36:21.000 You know, it was one of my favorite movies, favorite series, and they take it and not only do they change it and use it for their ends, but they pervert it.

00:36:29.000 They take all the old stuff.

00:36:31.000 They exhume the corpse of the old movie, the old franchise, and then they rape it. 0.86

00:36:38.000 And then they take it out of the ground and they rape it and they say, Watch this. 0.92

00:36:43.000 Watch what I'm about to do.

00:36:44.000 And they drag it up out of the earth.

00:36:46.000 They desecrate it.

00:36:48.000 And we're supposed to give money for that and cheer for it and buy the action figures.

00:36:52.000 And that's just a really sick thing. 0.98

00:36:55.000 It's kind of like in Spain.

00:36:56.000 You know that famous picture from when the communists were running Spain and they exhumed the corpse of the nun?

00:37:02.000 And they put it on display to mock Catholics. 0.81

00:37:05.000 I mean, that's essentially what we have in a very clown world, postmodern sense. 0.81

00:37:11.000 I mean, that's essentially happening on a different scale, in a different sector, I guess, of culture.

00:37:17.000 But that's what's happening they exhume the old culture, the old things that we value, and they desecrate it.

00:37:23.000 You know, take, for example, I was thinking about this on my way to see Star Wars.

00:37:28.000 If you've ever seen the Quentin Tarantino movie, Hateful Eight, in the movie Hateful Eight, which is directed by Quentin Tarantino, it's this old Western movie.

00:37:36.000 I forget exactly what happened, but you have this black cowboy, and he ends up forcing some white racist, because it takes place in Civil War times. 0.98

00:37:47.000 He ends up forcing some white racist to suck him off, and then he kills him. 0.99

00:37:52.000 And I'm thinking to myself, and sorry for the vulgar language. 1.00

00:37:55.000 Maybe I should have said to perform oral sex or perform fellatio on him. 1.00

00:38:00.000 Sorry for the. 1.00

00:38:01.000 I guess that's just.

00:38:03.000 Alan just kind of came right out. 1.00

00:38:06.000 In the movie, Samuel L. Jackson forces some white racist to do some kind of humiliating sexual act on him before he kills them. 0.99

00:38:16.000 And he's using that to taunt the kid's dad. 0.98

00:38:19.000 And I'm thinking to myself, if the roles were reversed, you would have a race war. 0.90

00:38:24.000 If a movie came out where you had a black guy doing that to a white guy, and that was supposed to humiliate somebody, they would burn the theater down. 0.67

00:38:35.000 There would be boycotts. 0.94

00:38:37.000 The director would never work again.

00:38:38.000 The actors would never work again.

00:38:40.000 There would be legislation passed.

00:38:42.000 It would cost somebody an election. 1.00

00:38:45.000 And we see in every movie, whether it's Django Unchained, Hateful Age, Star Wars, Spider Man, Ghostbusters, what's the next movie that they're remaking with All Women? 0.94

00:38:57.000 There's another one that they're doing that with, and it escapes me right now.

00:39:01.000 But we really have to have a conversation about it.

00:39:04.000 They're not a conversation.

00:39:06.000 We have to take action about it.

00:39:08.000 We have to stop going to the movies. 0.98

00:39:09.000 People say, Nick, you're being hypocritical. 0.88

00:39:12.000 I got into the movie today for free. 0.84

00:39:13.000 So it doesn't quite count.

00:39:15.000 But we have to take action because.

00:39:18.000 This culture stuff, the movies, the music, the television shows, this is very important stuff, probably among the most important stuff, minus like immigration policy and maybe like Federal Reserve policy.

00:39:32.000 This is up there because this is shaping the predisposition, the temperament of the next generation.

00:39:39.000 So, you know, you think about if Disney is shaping people's subconscious minds, the voters of the subconscious minds of the voters 20 or 30 years from now, the next generation.

00:39:50.000 Those people are going to have to be deprogrammed as a result. 0.99

00:39:54.000 All the people that we're trying to deprogram and decondition today, we have to do that because 20 years ago, their kindergarten teacher told them something stupid and they watched a stupid movie and their parents told them some goofy story. 0.62

00:40:07.000 I mean, to a really significant extent, a lot of what we have to do, a lot of our effort today in changing the minds of voters and changing the minds of people is the result of conditioning that happened subconsciously a long time ago. 0.92

00:40:23.000 And in the 90s, when we were passing entitlement reform and we were having a real ball in the Congress and in the political world, on the other side, there was a real hard propaganda campaign to condition and change the way people feel fundamentally about the world, about their country, about their identity.

00:40:43.000 And we are still dealing with the repercussions.

00:40:45.000 As a result, we have to seriously think about what the culture is today and what it should be in the future.

00:40:52.000 So.

00:40:53.000 That's Star Wars.

00:40:54.000 There it is.

00:40:55.000 Bad movie.

00:40:56.000 Two thumbs down.

00:40:57.000 Don't see it.

00:40:57.000 Don't let your kids anywhere near that stuff.

00:41:01.000 And there's just no escape.

00:41:02.000 There's no escape.

00:41:04.000 I watch the trailers these days for the movies, and without fail, pay attention to this. 0.70

00:41:09.000 The next time you go see a movie, or the next time you see a big movie trailer in the YouTube top trending videos, watch for this because it feels like every movie nowadays, female lead.

00:41:21.000 And not only a female lead, but a female action lead.

00:41:24.000 You know, there's that new robot movie.

00:41:26.000 Excuse me, coming out.

00:41:27.000 There's that new movie where Natalie Portman goes into the alien force field and she's the only one that can do it.

00:41:33.000 There's that new movie coming out about the Washington Post, and that's really on the nose there, where it's the head, it's Helen Mirren.

00:41:40.000 She's the head of the Washington Post and she takes on the president and she's tough.

00:41:46.000 And how many times are we going to do this?

00:41:48.000 How many times are we going to do that before we wake up and realize what the consequences are for our children, what the consequences are for our youngest, our most vulnerable, our most impressionable?

00:42:01.000 Yeah, I think in a lot of ways, the drug stuff is less harmful than this stuff.

00:42:07.000 In a lot of ways.

00:42:08.000 I would rather them.

00:42:09.000 And, you know, people talk about hip hop a lot and rap music.

00:42:13.000 And I admit that rap is degenerate, you know, in terms of the themes.

00:42:16.000 But if you think about it, rap music still has the lid on.

00:42:20.000 They still have, they still understand how the world works.

00:42:24.000 It's still pretty organic, it's still pretty natural.

00:42:27.000 You listen to a rap song and the men are aggressive and the women are, you know, women.

00:42:33.000 And there's some dysfunctional ways that they treat women and dysfunctional ways that they abuse substances.

00:42:40.000 But fundamentally, the paradigm is sound.

00:42:43.000 And that's not, I'm not trying to like defend it.

00:42:45.000 I'm not trying to say that. 0.68

00:42:46.000 I'm just trying to draw a contrast to say that if you look at the most vulgar rap music where like any regular Christian could take issue with rap music, that is probably less harmful, less game changing than this over the top feminist propaganda. 0.99

00:43:02.000 Because the worst that'll happen with the rap music is you'll have kids smoking pot. 0.98

00:43:08.000 And that's not a good thing, that's a very harmful thing.

00:43:10.000 But you have kids watching the Star Wars because nobody finds any issue with it, nobody makes an issue about it. 0.96

00:43:18.000 Nobody's going to make a big stink about Star Wars because of the female lead.

00:43:21.000 And as a result, people will go into it thinking that's a wholesome and good and cool thing to watch.

00:43:27.000 And they'll grow up and their conception of themselves, the nature of who they are, what it means to be a woman, what it means to be a man, what it means to be dating, what it means to interact with men and women, what that relationship is supposed to look like, how it's supposed to complement one with the other.

00:43:45.000 To mess with that is like the most destructive message, the most destructive and pernicious thing.

00:43:53.000 That you could instruct a child in.

00:43:56.000 And I just, I only draw that contrast because the one is so obviously offensive.

00:44:00.000 The one is so, I mean, you don't have to be like a Christian, uptight, extreme Catholic, hardcore traditionalist conservative to say that rap music probably shouldn't be listened to by children.

00:44:13.000 But with the Star Wars stuff where it's marketed towards children, it's attended by children, it's, you know, I mean, that's what children consume, and nobody seems to see the damage there, which is probably far worse.

00:44:26.000 So, super chats.

00:44:29.000 Let's get into these super chats.

00:44:30.000 I've rambled on long enough about that stuff, and people are probably thinking this crank is probably just an incel.

00:44:39.000 This crank is an involuntary celibate who's never touched a woman, who's probably a virgin, and that's why he has a problem with gender roles being redefined on the basis of the prejudices of Hollywood producers.

00:44:53.000 And we know who those people are, right? 0.59

00:44:55.000 I mean, no, not to, you know, I go.

00:44:58.000 We're going to do super chats and then I ramble on more.

00:45:01.000 But here's why it's important.

00:45:03.000 And I laid it out the other day.

00:45:05.000 The reason the West is failing is because the people are not good.

00:45:09.000 The quality of the people are not good.

00:45:12.000 And why is that? 0.96

00:45:13.000 Aside from immigration, we look at even our own people.

00:45:16.000 Why is our fertility rate so low?

00:45:18.000 It's because we don't have families.

00:45:21.000 And when we do have families, they're not strong families.

00:45:24.000 Why don't we have families?

00:45:25.000 Why don't we have strong families?

00:45:27.000 Because the people that have been brought up.

00:45:29.000 Are weak and not virtuous and very confused and dissonant people. 0.94

00:45:36.000 And a big part of that is because we don't know how to relate to the opposite sex and we don't know who we are anymore. 1.00

00:45:42.000 You can't have a functional marriage if you don't have women being women and men being men. 0.97

00:45:48.000 You don't have functional dating, courtship relationships if you have women thinking they're men and they can go out and put out and they can have 10 different sexual partners before they get married, before the age of 25. 0.97

00:46:02.000 If they're in college, If they have an idea that they're going to be the breadwinner, you cannot have a functional relationship, a functional, coherent relationship between men and women if that is the program. 0.91

00:46:15.000 And when that doesn't happen, you don't have families.

00:46:17.000 And when you don't have families, you don't have kids.

00:46:20.000 And when you don't have families, you have very broken and sad and dispirited people.

00:46:24.000 And so it's all connected.

00:46:27.000 That's why we have to instruct our children in the correct, the natural, the organic order. 0.61

00:46:34.000 That's all there is to it, you know, and that's not to take a detour, but that's why I have a big problem with the racialism alone. 0.57

00:46:42.000 Racialism is a part of it to an extent, but we have to come to grips with what's at the core of the problem. 0.84

00:46:50.000 Immigration, lack of racial identity, that is a symptom. 0.69

00:46:54.000 The core of the problem, the crux of the problem, is that these traditions, this sense of identity, and fundamentally in a very religious, metaphysical sense, we have lost our way of what is intended for us to be. 0.99

00:47:08.000 But we'll get into our super chats.

00:47:10.000 We'll see what we have.

00:47:11.000 And it looks like we have lots of donations for the Christian Appalachian Project.

00:47:15.000 Tonight, which is very nice.

00:47:18.000 Carl Ritzenfeller says, What is your biggest problem with Cenk Uger?

00:47:26.000 I don't know.

00:47:27.000 I don't really think about Cenk Uger.

00:47:29.000 I don't watch him.

00:47:29.000 I don't really think about him.

00:47:31.000 I mean, this is just your typical blowhard. 0.91

00:47:34.000 I mean, I think that's the best word to describe him. 0.97

00:47:37.000 I mean, this is not an intelligent person by any stretch.

00:47:41.000 This is not a respectable person.

00:47:45.000 This is a person who gives no due respect to.

00:47:49.000 His profession and the topic, the subject of his profession, which is politics.

00:47:53.000 Politics, I think, requires respect.

00:47:56.000 It requires a certain mindset to approach it, a certain humility, because it's a very complex art.

00:48:04.000 There are a lot of different aspects to it, there's a lot of history to it, and nobody knows everything about it.

00:48:10.000 And even old people, even people who have read thousands of volumes, struggle to find the proper perspective for politics and history.

00:48:19.000 And fundamentally, I have a big problem with people who approach it with this.

00:48:24.000 Sort of frivolous with this frivolity, with this, what's the word I'm looking for?

00:48:34.000 Trivial, with this kind of trivial mindset.

00:48:36.000 It's all just, I don't know, none of it really matters. 0.90

00:48:39.000 We can just be goofy and silly and funny about it. 0.78

00:48:42.000 And there is certainly a place for memeing and there's a place for joking, but you look at his analysis and it's just so, it's like a bonehead analysis.

00:48:51.000 And people like that I just have no respect for in this field.

00:48:54.000 People ask me all the time, Nick, what podcast do you listen to?

00:48:57.000 Nick, what.

00:48:58.000 Content do you watch?

00:48:59.000 And I don't watch the content or the podcast by most people because it is just reheated.

00:49:05.000 It is just reheated, prepackaged, like TV dinner tier stuff.

00:49:12.000 And that's why I don't consume any content.

00:49:14.000 I read the news and then I read the perspectives of people from 200 years ago.

00:49:19.000 And that's what I think a lot of people should do.

00:49:21.000 I do this show because I thought there was a niche for this kind of content where if you don't want that pre chewed, regurgitated stuff, you can watch this show.

00:49:33.000 I guess that's my biggest problem with him is that whole mindset, this whole class of depth groveler pundits who, you know, they're going to spoon feed you this information and with the worst takes.

00:49:47.000 Gahul2 says, I tried to warn you, Nick, but you wouldn't listen.

00:49:51.000 Space, Superman, Leia, and Luke dead.

00:49:53.000 Also, go to 8chan.net slash TV for the full torrent and discussion.

00:49:58.000 Yeah, I didn't believe you, but in fairness, it was pretty unbelievable.

00:50:02.000 You had this scene in the movie.

00:50:05.000 You had this scene in Star Wars where Princess Leia, she's on the bridge of the Resistance cruiser, and Kylo Ren is not able to shoot her down.

00:50:14.000 He's flying in his speeder, you know, and he's going to blow up his mom.

00:50:20.000 Princess Leia is Kylo Ren's mom.

00:50:22.000 And she's in the bridge of the ship.

00:50:24.000 She's overlooking the space battle, this big cruiser, and he's in his little fighter, and he's about to shoot her, but he's like, I can't do it.

00:50:30.000 I can't kill mommy.

00:50:32.000 And he flies away, but these other TIE fighters shoot her.

00:50:35.000 And the whole bridge explodes into space, into outer space where there's no, it's a vacuum, there's no oxygen.

00:50:43.000 And she goes flying out into space and she kind of hangs out there for a few minutes and then she awakens.

00:50:50.000 She's in the middle of outer space without a helmet.

00:50:54.000 She should like not be alive, but she wakes up and then using the force, she flies back into the ship.

00:51:02.000 This is like a cartoon.

00:51:04.000 I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

00:51:06.000 And that's why I didn't believe this guy who spoiled it.

00:51:10.000 And it was unnecessary.

00:51:12.000 That didn't need to happen.

00:51:14.000 They could have blown up the bridge. 0.95

00:51:16.000 She could have conveniently escaped at the last minute.

00:51:18.000 They didn't have to do that.

00:51:20.000 But why did they do that? 1.00

00:51:21.000 Because women are smart and they're tough and they're good force users and they're magical. 1.00

00:51:27.000 That was why. 0.97

00:51:28.000 Because there's something special about her.

00:51:30.000 There's something special and miraculous about her.

00:51:34.000 And so she flew.

00:51:35.000 I mean, what an absurd, preposterous movie.

00:51:39.000 And yeah, and then Luke Skywalker, what a joke.

00:51:41.000 He He holograms himself from like another planet.

00:51:45.000 Are you kidding me?

00:51:46.000 What a just a preposterous movie.

00:51:48.000 Not only that, but they just reuse everything from the trilogy.

00:51:52.000 I wish they created something new.

00:51:54.000 Say what you will about the prequels, but they created a really cool new universe for the Star Wars, or a cool new, I guess, era for the Star Wars universe, where you had the Confederacy of Independent Systems, you had Palpatine, you had.

00:52:12.000 The Jedi Council, you had Coruscant, you had the Battle Droids, the Droid Army versus the Clone Army, you had the Clone Factory, you had that arena on Geonosis where they had to fight all those cool monsters.

00:52:25.000 They went on Kamino, there was Django Fett, Boba Fett's dad, and he had the two guns and a jetpack.

00:52:31.000 You had Darth Maul, you had those cool fighters from Naboo, Gungans, Revenge of the Sith, you had all kinds of planets, and Jedi War. 0.99

00:52:40.000 I mean, say what you will, but it was cool, it was new, it was fresh, and This new one, it's just like, it's the same shit. 0.96

00:52:50.000 TIE fighters, ATATs, Star Destroyers. 0.98

00:52:54.000 I mean, it's the same thing.

00:52:56.000 And so that, it's just very disappointing.

00:53:00.000 Why would you do that? 1.00

00:53:00.000 It's just stupid. 1.00

00:53:01.000 Why would you? 1.00

00:53:02.000 I guess maybe it's safer, but it's just very disappointing.

00:53:06.000 You would think if you had the prequel, it's all different.

00:53:09.000 And then the original trilogy, it's different than that.

00:53:12.000 You'd think the sequel would reinvent and it'd be a new universe.

00:53:15.000 But it's like, no, they just decided to make the old trilogy, but.

00:53:19.000 With the social justice narrative and change it up a little bit.

00:53:22.000 So, goofy.

00:53:25.000 Simon Skolis says, I haven't given any shekels for over a week, so here you go.

00:53:30.000 Let's all try to help our fellow Americans that don't get much coverage or sympathy.

00:53:34.000 Well, we appreciate it, Simon.

00:53:36.000 Much appreciated.

00:53:38.000 William Burns says, Poe Dameron is a terrible name.

00:53:41.000 Mikhail O'Ren is the best part of the movie.

00:53:44.000 I agree. 1.00

00:53:45.000 And Poe, I hear, is gay anyway. 0.97

00:53:46.000 So, in the resistance, you have the based black stormtrooper who's probably going to race mix with the based Woman Jedi, Rey. 0.97

00:53:56.000 You have Princess Leia, the based woman. 0.93

00:53:58.000 You have the feminist who killed herself in this movie. 0.99

00:54:01.000 You have the Chinese character, Rose, who is more annoying than Jar Jar Binks and the Ewoks put together. 0.99

00:54:09.000 You have, I mean, there's, and then the one white male, white male, is Poe, and he's going to be a homosexual. 0.99

00:54:15.000 So the only white male in this movie, the only prominent white male in this movie are all the bad guys. 0.65

00:54:21.000 What does that tell you?

00:54:23.000 And Kylo Ren happens to be pretty cool, so.

00:54:26.000 I just wish he didn't smash the mask.

00:54:28.000 The mask was cool because he doesn't have a good haircut.

00:54:31.000 The haircut makes him look like an emo millennial, and I don't like it.

00:54:37.000 Gary Oak with the single shekel.

00:54:39.000 Thank you.

00:54:40.000 Simon Scola, this is some Stefan Molyneux level film analysis.

00:54:44.000 Well, thank you.

00:54:45.000 I got to say, Richard Spencer, we don't see eye to eye on everything, but his video about Star Wars 8 was right on the money.

00:54:53.000 I was thinking everything that he said in his film reviewslash analysis.

00:54:59.000 And I will say that that's an area where he shines.

00:55:02.000 I know he got a degree.

00:55:04.000 In, I believe it was literature, art, and music, English literature, art, and music from Duke.

00:55:11.000 And then he went to the University of Chicago.

00:55:13.000 I'm not sure which school he went to first, but that's what he has a degree in.

00:55:17.000 And in fairness, I mean, he had a very sound and a very nuanced take on Star Wars.

00:55:23.000 He noticed everything and more that I noticed.

00:55:26.000 So, very good video.

00:55:28.000 I encourage everybody to watch that as well.

00:55:34.000 Well, thank you so much.

00:55:34.000 Kids.

00:55:35.000 Very generous.

00:55:36.000 We appreciate you.

00:55:37.000 I know it's difficult in the holiday season because you got to buy gifts.

00:55:41.000 And you know, well, I'll save that rant for after we get to the super chats.

00:55:46.000 Do you see how I am, though?

00:55:47.000 Do you see how I start saying something and it just triggers a massive complaint?

00:55:53.000 I'm a very negative person.

00:55:55.000 I have to change that.

00:55:56.000 I have to change that about myself.

00:55:58.000 That's my New Year's resolution for 2018.

00:56:00.000 Stop being so negative.

00:56:03.000 I get it from, I guess, I get it from my.

00:56:05.000 Family, a little bit.

00:56:06.000 They're going to be very offended by that after.

00:56:08.000 They're going to be like, You're calling us negative.

00:56:10.000 But there is kind of this, like, I don't know, kind of a dread in my family.

00:56:16.000 Like an ironic and funny dread where we poke fun at it.

00:56:19.000 But it is kind of a pessimism there.

00:56:24.000 I think it's better to be pessimistic, but that'll be my New Year's resolution.

00:56:30.000 Try and see the good in things, right? 0.85

00:56:32.000 Problematic White Knight says, The Jews did this to Star Wars.

00:56:37.000 Well, you know, I.

00:56:38.000 I disagree. 0.98

00:56:39.000 I don't think it was the Jews. 1.00

00:56:40.000 I think it was the rootless international clique who did this. 0.99

00:56:44.000 It was not the Jews. 0.79

00:56:46.000 It was the international, it was the transnational rootless elite who were responsible for this, not the Jews. 0.54

00:56:54.000 And it's this hostile foreign international influence in media, in government, in Hollywood that is doing this because it's people that don't care about the people in our country or about the traditions of the country. 0.72

00:57:09.000 Only somebody.

00:57:10.000 Who is detached from the country would so readily discard everything that it means to be an American.

00:57:16.000 I mean, that's what we talk about when we say foreign and international.

00:57:21.000 You know, you imagine that in your hometown, you know what makes your hometown great and you know what you love about your hometown.

00:57:31.000 It's not perfect, granted.

00:57:33.000 It may be a little silly, it may be a little goofy, and, you know, it has its flaws, but it's your home, it's your hometown.

00:57:40.000 And regardless of what it is, you love driving down the main street.

00:57:43.000 Thoroughfare and looking at the sites, and you have your special locations in a way that a foreigner just would not, in a way that somebody who wasn't from your hometown wouldn't understand.

00:57:56.000 You know, I live in kind of a small town compared to Chicago, and I drive down the main thoroughfare and I look at the trees and I look at the houses and I look at the place where I grew up and I say, This is a very special place.

00:58:09.000 And, you know, that's kind of how it is with our country.

00:58:12.000 People that are here in this country.

00:58:14.000 Want to preserve what it is.

00:58:16.000 We know what's special about it.

00:58:17.000 We know what we like about it.

00:58:19.000 And you have elements in this country that are in control of this country that don't have that same affection for it. 0.95

00:58:25.000 They don't have that same oikophilia. 0.76

00:58:28.000 That's a term that was coined by Roger Scruton, which means a love, I believe, for the familiar, which is what he called it, or a love for home. 0.93

00:58:36.000 And these foreign actors don't have that, and that's why they don't understand it, and that's why they're so quick to throw out what it means, to smash the pillars on which the country was built, because they say, I don't see anything of value here, gone. 0.69

00:58:51.000 Whereas we have some kind of affectionate and sentimental attachment, which is evolutionarily there for a reason. 0.56

00:58:57.000 They don't, and they say, let's get rid of it, let's do this cool progressive thing. 0.98

00:59:03.000 William Burns said, The Jedi are hypocrites, and their ethos is about denying their own humanity. 0.99

00:59:10.000 Can't marry, can't have kids, or have any emotions. 0.99

00:59:13.000 The Sith accept the flaws in people and use their suffering, pain, anguish, fear to give themselves power.

00:59:21.000 That's a real fedora tip for you, my friend William.

00:59:27.000 That's literally the Satanist doctrine there.

00:59:36.000 You're defending the Sith in a very fedora tipping kind of a way, but that's actually kind of like Anton LaVey Church of Satan stuff.

00:59:43.000 I disagree.

00:59:44.000 I like the Jedi.

00:59:44.000 I disagree.

00:59:45.000 I believe in the Jedi.

00:59:46.000 Maybe that's because I'm more of a Dionysian spirit, more of a mystical kind of a person.

00:59:54.000 I think there are two kinds of people in that sense where there are people that are more mystical, there are people that are more romantic, more idealistic, and not necessarily.

01:00:05.000 In that they are quixotic, big difference, but they're idealistic.

01:00:09.000 They believe in ideals, which is different than what we get in our head when we think of idealists.

01:00:14.000 When we think of idealists, we think of naive, we think of people, we think of utopians.

01:00:19.000 I'm neither of those things.

01:00:20.000 I'm an idealist.

01:00:21.000 I believe in ideal forms, things to strive for.

01:00:25.000 And there are people like that.

01:00:27.000 And then there are people like this gentleman who are not like that, who are more mechanically rationalistic minded.

01:00:36.000 And that's just a pretty axiomatic difference between personalities.

01:00:40.000 So, if that's what you think, but that's kind of a Satanist thing, be careful, bucko.

01:00:45.000 You may be on the road to ruin.

01:00:48.000 Charles Heiston says new movies are left blue pills.

01:00:53.000 Just watch the old films.

01:00:54.000 Yeah, you got to just stick to the original trilogy.

01:00:57.000 And old movies in general are very good.

01:01:01.000 Simon Skola says the capital of Israel should be a nuclear crater.

01:01:04.000 I don't know what.

01:01:05.000 I don't know what you mean by that.

01:01:06.000 You have that in quotes like somebody else said that.

01:01:09.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:01:11.000 Dominic Liberatore says Boss Baby was pretty good. 1.00

01:01:15.000 Dog moms were BTFO'd nicely. 1.00

01:01:17.000 You'd probably like the Angry Birds movie. 0.92

01:01:19.000 Yeah, I saw Stefan Molyneux's analysis of that where it's actually an anti immigration movie.

01:01:26.000 I didn't see it just on principle.

01:01:27.000 I won't see that movie.

01:01:28.000 I won't watch the emoji movie, but I understand the subtext.

01:01:33.000 Boss Baby was a fine movie.

01:01:36.000 Perfect movie, in my opinion.

01:01:38.000 No better.

01:01:39.000 There is no better movie of this year or any other year.

01:01:44.000 Devrin Shekelstein says, You've inspired me to intern at my local GOP office and establish a young Republicans club at my high school.

01:01:51.000 Keep up the good work, you Castizo.

01:01:54.000 Well, I am glad to hear that.

01:01:56.000 It makes me, it's very fulfilling.

01:01:59.000 I know that's cliched.

01:02:00.000 I never understood that as a young man when people would talk about if their work was fulfilling. 0.97

01:02:05.000 I always thought they were full of shit, to be honest, when people said, It's fulfilling for me, because I never really, I didn't really understand what that meant. 0.96

01:02:13.000 Um, As I was a selfish teenager, as we all were once. 0.99

01:02:17.000 But now that I'm working, now that I'm doing this show, and it's not easy, believe me.

01:02:22.000 I, more days than not, I don't want to do this show because, you know, you're tired or you're doing something else and you got to go through the whole ordeal and you got to deal with technology and trolls and everything else.

01:02:35.000 And so you do it every night, but you do it every night because you believe in it.

01:02:38.000 You work your ass off because you believe in it.

01:02:40.000 You believe in yourself.

01:02:41.000 You believe in the cause.

01:02:43.000 You have an obligation.

01:02:44.000 And when people say that they're changed by it, they're inspired by it, and they're going out and they're doing something because of it, I mean, It does.

01:02:52.000 It makes it worth it, you know?

01:02:54.000 And so I understand that now.

01:02:55.000 So I appreciate you saying that and thank you.

01:02:59.000 Alex F says When will you reveal?

01:03:02.000 Oh.

01:03:09.000 What just happened there?

01:03:11.000 Looks like we went offline for a moment there.

01:03:15.000 It looks like we're still offline.

01:03:44.000 Awesome.

01:04:16.000 Hmm, hmm, hmm.

01:04:24.000 All right, so we're back.

01:04:27.000 That was convenient.

01:04:29.000 Gotta love that.

01:04:30.000 Nope.

01:04:31.000 And we're gone.

01:04:33.000 And we're gone again.

01:04:35.000 Awesome.
