00:00:07.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Thursday.
00:00:12.000We've got a lot to talk about, lots to get into this evening, although it is another slow news day, regrettably.
00:00:20.000I'm waiting for something else to happen.
00:00:22.000I thought this Ahmaud Arbery thing was going to be big and exciting and Trayvon level, but when's the last time we even heard anything about this damn case?
00:01:38.000Like I said, we'll go into what's in it.
00:01:40.000And to me, the big story is not so much the proposal itself, but it's the fact that Republicans have already shot it down.
00:01:49.000And trust me, I don't like this stimulus proposal.
00:01:51.000I think it's a Democrat wish list in terms of it gives money for illegal aliens, it has all kinds of provisions pertaining to things that aren't even relevant to the coronavirus.
00:02:02.000So it's a total political play, and that's what Congress is all about political plays.
00:02:07.000But what is noteworthy is that the Republicans are not offering any alternative.
00:02:12.000And that's what I want to talk about tonight.
00:02:14.000It's not, I mean, we'll go over the stimulus proposal and what's in it and all that.
00:02:19.000But why it is significant is not so much what's in the Democrat bill, but the fact that there is nothing on the Republican side.
00:02:27.000We are being plunged into the worst, and we've talked about this for the past couple weeks and beyond.
00:02:33.000We are being plunged into the worst recession in American history where all these jobs, 20 million jobs, have evaporated.
00:02:42.000They say that the unemployment rate could go past 20%.
00:02:46.000Before this is all said and done, how many small businesses are going bankrupt?
00:02:52.000I think we'll see a lot of that this summer.
00:02:54.000And the Republicans are getting frugal with the tax money.
00:02:58.000They're saying, well, we don't need another stimulus.
00:03:00.000We've spent too much already, so we're going to wait and see how it goes.
00:03:16.000We'll also be talking tonight about Nathan Bedford Forrest.
00:03:20.000Who in Memphis, Tennessee is having his and his wife's remains exhumed.
00:03:27.000They were buried in a state park, which is now under private ownership.
00:03:33.000This Nathan Bedford Forrest is a Confederate general, Confederate leader, later on involved with the Ku Klux Klan.
00:03:41.000And as a result of activism from the usual suspects who we know, he is now having his dead body and the dead body of his wife exhumed from the state park, their monument taken down, and all of that is being moved.
00:03:57.000It's nothing new that we haven't seen before, you know, not a really groundbreaking development in itself, but part of the much bigger trend of what we're seeing across the country and what we've been seeing for the past five or six years.
00:04:09.000You know, if you've been watching the show long enough, you know that I was at Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017, and the reason for that rally was to protest the removal of the Confederate monuments.
00:04:22.000So this is something that, you know, we tried, or at least I tried, I did my part trying to resist this cultural transformation, but.
00:04:30.000It seems like it's only accelerated since Charlottesville.
00:04:33.000I think we've seen, and I don't have the numbers on this, but probably more Confederate statues, more Confederate war memorials.
00:04:41.000The Confederate battle flag has, these things have been taken down and removed from the public square at a faster rate and in greater numbers since that rally, which, you know, I'm not saying the rally was not a success for a variety of reasons, but I think that this is a problem which is definitely worsening.
00:05:04.000And we're seeing it all over the place, not just with the statues, but in every other way, with flags, holidays, all kinds of things.
00:05:11.000We're seeing that our history, our heritage is being erased, in some cases, literally exhumed, in other cases, figuratively exhumed and transferred or desecrated or whatever.
00:06:40.000Even last week with Ahmaud Arbery, that lasted 10 seconds before that narrative collapsed.
00:06:46.000Anyway, so before we get into the news, though, tonight, I do just want to mention so we're going to go over the merch stuff and all that, but I don't know if you guys saw this, but yesterday, Dan Crenshaw did a webinar.
00:07:09.000He did a Zoom call that was a webinar.
00:07:12.000I wasn't there for it, but I know Cassandra Fairbanks was covering it.
00:07:15.000I know a number of Groypers got in there.
00:07:18.000And Representative Dan Crenshaw, you know, iPatch, who we've had a problem with for some time, he did this webinar last night on Zoom where he did some kind of a talk about his life or something.
00:07:30.000And then he took questions from the audience.
00:08:09.000Cassandra tweeted out the clip, she clipped it up last night.
00:08:14.000And so, somebody basically asks about mass immigration and the 1965 Immigration Act in particular.
00:08:21.000And his response is what you would expect.
00:08:24.000You know, he says something to the effect of, Well, white people are not going to do the jobs that immigrants are doing, which is the biggest myth I've ever heard.
00:08:33.000That's probably the biggest and most pervasive immigration myth that there is.
00:08:38.000That if we didn't have immigrants, well, these jobs wouldn't get done.
00:08:44.000The reason that the immigrants are taking the jobs is because they're taking them at much lower wages than Americans.
00:08:51.000It's not that Americans won't do these jobs, it's that Americans won't do these jobs at these cutthroat rates that firms and corporations and farms are paying the immigrants.
00:09:02.000You know, for example, illegal immigration is the most obvious case.
00:09:06.000If you're an illegal immigrant, you don't even have to play by the same rules.
00:09:14.000Probably they're doing shortcuts on regulations.
00:09:17.000So, in that case, it's legally impossible for average Americans, white Americans, to compete with immigrants.
00:09:24.000But then, even take into account the legal immigrants, and the whole reason they're being brought over is so that they could slash the wages, cut the costs.
00:09:32.000And often, what you'll find is the immigrants will supplement that with welfare.
00:09:35.000So, it's really not, it's actually really not that fair.
00:09:38.000It's really actually not like a small government like pro free market solution because the people that are coming here for these jobs often end up dependent and reliant on government to supplement their income.
00:09:49.000And the firms that hire them at these rates know that.
00:09:52.000And they know that whites and college kids and high schoolers and Native Americans are not going to play that same game.
00:09:59.000Anyway, so his answer was a lot of that and a lot of what you would expect from a Dan Crenshaw conservative.
00:10:07.000But what was most amazing to me is he didn't even know what the 1965 Immigration Act is.
00:10:14.000He said, I'm not familiar with the 1965 Heart Cellar Immigration Act.
00:11:16.000And it just goes to show not only are these people totally corrupt, obviously.
00:11:21.000You know, Dan Crenshaw does not care about Americans.
00:11:24.000Dan Crenshaw is not actually conservative.
00:11:27.000I don't think Dan Crenshaw's honest about a single thing that comes out of his mouth.
00:11:32.000Because just a few years ago, he could go on his Facebook and he's talking about how Donald Trump is Islamophobic.
00:11:42.000And Christians are hypocrites, and Christian extremists are just as bad as Muslims, and Donald Trump is an idiot.
00:11:49.000This is a Facebook post from Dan Crenshaw just a few years ago, and now he's one of the big Trump supporters and total conservative Christian right wing Texan.
00:12:35.000I don't even know if it's an at least, but there are actors in this country that are corrupt or malicious, but at least they know where they stand.
00:13:39.000He also says in the Zoom call that he doesn't even think immigration is that important.
00:13:46.000Replacing the American population, inviting in 60 million people in 60 years, not a big deal when we got things to worry about like the carried interest provision and foreign aid and the embassy in Jerusalem, right?
00:13:58.000The embassy in Israel is a far greater priority than bringing in 60 million people to America.
00:14:08.000You understand at this point, but it's just so incredible.
00:14:11.000We don't even get the benefit of respectable adversaries.
00:14:16.000Because I feel like there is, and I don't know if this exists, but there is this idea of an honorable conflict where you're engaged in a conflict, and even if it gets dirty, but it's a war, and you respect the other side and they respect you, and there's this element of honor, there's this element of a mutual respect that even though.
00:14:38.000Your adversaries, and you know, you hate what they love and they hate what you love.
00:14:42.000There's this respect for the combat, for the engagement, for other warriors.
00:14:48.000I just can't say that about these people.
00:14:51.000None of our adversaries are even respectable.
00:14:54.000I can't even say a single nice thing about them.
00:14:57.000Because it would be one thing if we were fighting, you know, you look at like a Malcolm X type character, or there are all kinds of leaders going back in American history who you could say you don't agree with, but you could say that they're honorable.
00:15:10.000You know, for example, if you look at the founding fathers and some of the debates and conflicts that happened between like John Adams and Hamilton and Jefferson and, you know, Franklin, all the different founding fathers competing and debating about what they wanted.
00:15:24.000Obviously, they're all on the same page in the capacity that they're all Americans, so it's a little different, but, you know, they respect each other.
00:15:32.000Who are our adversaries like Charlie Kirk, Dan Crenshaw, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh?
00:15:38.000They are all just totally dishonorable, sniveling.
00:16:18.000Because I feel like it is almost a uniquely European attribute to be concerned with.
00:16:23.000Honor and respect and respecting combat and warfare and things like that, you know.
00:16:30.000And it's a uniquely non European trait, let's say, to be sort of duplicitous and deceitful and underhanded and using tricks, using tricks, you know, filled with hatred and all that.
00:16:44.000So, anyway, so I saw that Zoom call the other day and I just said, yeah, that's our hero, American hero, Dan Crenshaw.
00:18:37.000These are the people that are driving the country into the ground.
00:18:39.000You know, this Dan Crenshaw, totally unlikable, very weird, disjointed.
00:18:44.000And you could tell, even when he talks to some of these people, the guy, he's a weird guy.
00:18:49.000You know, I don't think he can get along with a lot of people and doesn't even know what the Hart Seller Act is.
00:18:55.000Like, we're not asking much, Dan Crenshaw, but at least if you're going to fuck our country up forever, you know, at least you kind of know what you're doing, right?
00:20:05.000We are now, what, a little bit more than a week in with our new website.
00:20:08.000If you go to nicholasjfuentes.com, it's five bucks per month.
00:20:13.000And you get the whole catalog of America First videos, every episode of the show, every episode of the show on RSBN.
00:20:21.000Content going back to when I was in high school, speeches, debates, commentary streams, gaming streams, some things that were never even released.
00:21:02.000Like, Ben Shapiro is the kind of guy who goes to the March for Life rally and does four, four ad reads during a live taping of his podcast at the March for Life.
00:21:15.000Gotta squeeze out, squeeze out every last dollar, right?
00:21:30.000Like, even he could tell it was a little much.
00:21:33.000Okay, last ad read, guys, life insurance, you know, like that's who he is.
00:21:38.000Charlie Kirk, who files a DMCA claim on the video that I link under his tweet, where in the tweet he says, I'm in favor of a total shutdown on temporary work visas.
00:22:08.000That's not like your dipshit neighbor who doesn't know anything.
00:22:11.000That's a sitting U.S. congressman who many are speculating simply because of this caricature of G.I. Joe with the eye patch could run for the White House one day.
00:22:32.000It would really take a lot of time, but I just want to convey that.
00:22:36.000I'm not just like, you know, because there are people who I disagree with, but whom I respect, but these are not, you know, these are not winners.
00:22:44.000Look at who is arrayed against us like Rob Smith, right?
00:22:48.000Charlie Kirk, Benny Johnson, Dan Crenshaw, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh.
00:23:34.000It says the remains of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife will be removed.
00:23:39.000From a Memphis park where a monument of him once stood.
00:23:42.000Now, keep in mind, this is the remains.
00:23:44.000This is their dead bodies, not a statue.
00:23:47.000The decision to move their remains came after the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a nonprofit organization of male descendants of Confederate veterans, agreed to drop a pending lawsuit against park owners.
00:23:59.000Forrest, who was a slave trader and early Ku Klux Klan leader, and his wife, Mary Ann, had their graves at Health Sciences Park, where a monument to Forrest used to be.
00:24:10.000City leaders voted in 2013 to change the name of three parks that honored Confederate figures in Memphis.
00:24:16.000Then, in 2015, they voted to move the forest statue.
00:24:19.000To proceed with the removal, they sought a waiver from the Tennessee Heritage Protection Act, a law that governs the removal, relocation, or renaming of memorials on public property.
00:24:29.000But the Tennessee Historical Commission denied the city's request.
00:24:33.000The denial led the city council to pass legislation allowing it to sell parkland to Memphis Green Space, a nonprofit that provides park based recreation to the city.
00:24:44.000The nonprofit took down Forest Monument.
00:24:47.000In December 2017, as well as a statue of Confederate President Jefferson Davis.
00:24:52.000So, if you're understanding this correctly, the city tried to remove the statue.
00:24:58.000Under Tennessee state law, they can't because the law protects these heritage sites, protects these war memorials.
00:25:06.000So, the city simply sold off the park, and now that the park is privately owned, they can legally and lawfully remove the statue.
00:28:38.000Kicking them out of history, you know, we are disowning them as our ancestors, part of our collective experience in the country, our collective myth and story as a nation.
00:28:48.000That's not who we are because they were a little bit too far.
00:28:52.000But of course, the question is what is the limiting principle?
00:28:55.000Because the same things that can be said about Nathan Bedford Forrest can be said about every single one of the founding fathers and actually can be said about every single president prior to maybe Jimmy Carter.
00:29:10.000You know, Harry Truman, which was as recent as what, 1952, held some of the same beliefs as the founding fathers and everybody else on race.
00:29:21.000Abraham Lincoln was an abolitionist, but why?
00:29:24.000Abraham Lincoln did not want to achieve an end to slavery so that blacks and whites could live in equality together on the same continent within the same country.
00:30:37.000And look at the evidence that we've built up just in the last two or three weeks on the show if you've been watching.
00:30:42.000Two weeks ago, we talked about Stacey Abrams, who ran for governor in Georgia in 2018, and she almost won.
00:30:49.000And she said, She was caught on a hot mic in, I think, 2013 or 2014, saying that it would be dangerous for a white conservative minority government to control the South.
00:31:02.000You had the 1619 Project, which we covered last week, which was a series of essays in the New York Times, saying that we're going to rewrite history and redefine American history so that we can start American history not at independence in 1776, but in 1619 when the first slave ships arrived.
00:31:21.000And we're going to tell the story of America from 1619 on.
00:31:24.000And then you see this story where they say we're going to exhume the dead bodies, the remains of Nathan Bedford Forrest in a state park in Memphis, Tennessee, because that's not who we are anymore.
00:31:57.000They have a problem with white Americans.
00:32:00.000And they have a problem with American history.
00:32:03.000That's why everything that we've seen up to this point in the past two weeks that we've covered, but you could go back for 50 years, go all the way back to civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr., and these were radicals.
00:32:36.000And we can choose to ignore that, and we can choose to pretend that this racial conflict doesn't exist, that this racial agenda doesn't exist, the racial grievance isn't there, but clearly it is.
00:32:50.000And one of the reasons they said why they removed the monuments to Jefferson Davis and Nathan Bedford Forrest is because they kept getting vandalized.
00:32:59.000And that to me is almost that, that almost proves that you're already past the point of no return in the sense that our history and our people don't die when it's put in the law, right?
00:33:11.000When it's put on the books, that they say, well, now we're officially going to remove the statue, now we're officially going to exhume the remains or repeal this law, whatever.
00:33:20.000It begins when the population turns against that myth, that history of our country, which is already underway.
00:33:29.000They already don't respect this country.
00:34:57.000And that's because really, there weren't major differences.
00:35:01.000And that is, I think, maybe the hardest part that people have to come to terms with.
00:35:06.000Is everything that you want to believe out of comfort is probably not true about our country.
00:35:12.000You know, conservatives, the reason that they're able to have this, you know, they're able to prevent cognitive dissonance on this subject, and they're able to say, well, that's Nathan Bedford Forrest, but this is George Washington, is because they are either ignorant or they're being dishonest about who our ancestors were and what our country was.
00:35:33.000Because our country was not, in 1776, a modern, diverse country with momentum.
00:35:39.000It wasn't, it was a white, Christian country.
00:35:44.000And white, meaning English, wasn't it?
00:35:46.000It wasn't even Southern or Eastern Europeans yet.
00:36:37.000And by the way, this is not dissimilar from what people believed even 30, 40, 50 years ago.
00:36:44.000And that's what people have to realize just in the last 30 years, And really, maybe even more recent than that.
00:36:50.000It's been underway for a long time, but I'm talking about the consensus.
00:36:54.000In the past two or three decades, a radical, revolutionary consensus has been forged by mass media, by academia, by the culture making institutions, which is wildly different than anything that came before.
00:37:10.000And this is the lens through which we're looking at all of this, which is wrong, which is totally wrong.
00:37:16.000We're looking at our history through the lens of what the UN and MLK and all these.
00:37:22.000Communists and Jewish intellectuals want us to see.
00:38:02.000If Abraham Lincoln were alive in the 1960s, he would not be happy.
00:38:06.000He would not be happy with what was going on then.
00:38:10.000And the same is true with the founding fathers.
00:38:11.000Do you think that if they walked through the time machine, they would say, you know, wow, you guys figured out what we secretly wanted all along?
00:38:18.000Even though we wrote about maintaining this, you know, white Christian country, which belongs to a common ancestor, sharing the same customs and mannerisms and God and all the rest.
00:38:28.000They would walk through the time machine and they'd say, even though we wrote all that, secretly we were progressives.
00:38:34.000Secretly we were radical liberal progressives.
00:38:41.000I love driving through the city and seeing urban blight and decay and seeing people getting raped and stabbed and murdered and addicted to drugs and men kissing and guys with wigs on and you can't call them he or anything like that.
00:38:55.000They would walk through the time machine and say, wow, great job, everybody.
00:39:11.000When are people going to wake up and see that?
00:39:13.000They want to make it about, you know, it's Donald Trump or it's about Republican and Democrat or, you know, it's about those Democrat racists versus us, like libertarians.
00:39:23.000I don't even know what they're trying to peddle anymore to get away from the obvious.
00:39:29.000How long until everything that we knew and loved about our country is destroyed so they can be paved over by, you know, this globalist elite pandering to our new demographic?
00:39:52.000R.E. Rubenberg, you know, R.E. Goldstein will just bulldoze the Lincoln Memorial and we'll build up a giant statue of Barack Obama stepping on a white racist.
00:41:49.000Or you go back even further than that to like Peter the Great and There are leaders in every country because all these leaders didn't live by this paradigm that we do now.
00:41:59.000But it's only in these white countries that that is being used as a pretext to bulldoze a people, to bulldoze a nation, to bulldoze an entire civilization.
00:42:09.000And we're along for the ride because of the moral high ground or something.
00:42:13.000We're along for the ride while this foreign and hostile force destroys everything we love and our ancestors and all that because, well, You know, we don't want to be called racist.
00:42:25.000Well, I guess we'll just, you know, we'll just let this happen because to oppose that would be wrong.
00:42:55.000And that doesn't mean we don't like people of another.
00:42:58.000Culture or whatever, but you come here and you respect this heritage.
00:43:02.000You respect our culture for what it is.
00:43:04.000My ancestors came here in the 20th century.
00:43:07.000My ancestors weren't even here for the Civil War.
00:43:10.000And actually, you know, a lot of my ancestors face discrimination as Irish or Italians or Mexicans, but you don't see me out there saying, you know, well, that's good.
00:43:19.000Take down the civil rights monuments because, you know, I'm offended by this.
00:43:23.000In some historical sense, obviously, you know, my ancestors participated in the history of the country.
00:43:29.000They fought in World War II and Vietnam and built up the city of Chicago and so on.
00:43:34.000But you also have to respect the country that you arrived in and the people that were there when you arrived in it and their descendants and all the rest.
00:43:45.000This country is being looted and pillaged and invaded and vandalized, and it's no respect.
00:43:50.000That's why some people say, oh, you're like a Mexican white nationalist, or you think you conform to the people that founded the country at the Mayflower?
00:44:30.000It's kind of lame, but it needs to be talked about.
00:44:34.000So there have been three phases for the coronavirus relief from the Congress so far, totaling something like $3 trillion.
00:44:44.000The third phase was the biggest phase, that was the $2.1 trillion stimulus.
00:44:49.000And there were measures that came before that which aimed to make testing free and make accommodations for sick leave and things like that.
00:44:58.000But the last phase, the third phase, was the $2.1 trillion, and that was the $1,200 cash payments for individuals.
00:45:08.000That was the big bailout for the cruise line and the airlines and the hotels and all that, the Wall Street bailout, and the $4 trillion in quantitative easing from the Federal Reserve.
00:45:20.000So since that has happened, there has been no stimulus.
00:45:24.000Except for the Congress approved some more money for the PPP, the payroll protection program.
00:45:32.000Except for that supplementary fund that was added to the existing PPP program, there's been no stimulus since then.
00:45:39.000And that was, I think, in March that that passed.
00:45:43.000So Republicans now are saying no more stimulus until further notice.
00:45:49.000And this is their plan it says, quote, House Democrats released their latest bill on Tuesday designed to blunt the coronavirus pandemic's.
00:45:57.000Devastating effects on the economy and health care system.
00:46:00.000Party leaders expect to vote on the more than 1,800 page package on Friday, along with a plan to allow proxy voting on legislation during the crisis.
00:46:09.000House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday said Congress had a momentous opportunity to meet people's needs, contending that, quote, not acting is the most expensive course as the GOP grows weary of taxpayer spending.
00:46:23.000It includes, according to a summary, nearly $1 trillion in relief for state and local governments.
00:46:29.000A second round of direct payments of $1,200 per person and up to $6,000 for a household.
00:46:36.000About $200 billion for hazard pay for essential workers who face heightened health risks during the crisis.
00:46:42.000$75 billion for coronavirus testing and contact tracing.
00:46:47.000An extension of the $600 per week federal unemployment insurance benefit through January.
00:46:53.000$175 billion in rent, mortgage, and utility assistance.
00:46:58.000Subsidies and a special Affordable Care Act enrollment period to people who lose their employment sponsored health coverage.
00:47:04.000More money for SNAP, which is food stamps, measures designed to buoy small businesses, buoy, boy, how do you pronounce that?
00:47:15.000To buoy small businesses and help them keep employees on payroll, such as $10 billion in emergency disaster assistance grants and a strengthened employee retention tax credit, money for election safety during the pandemic, and relief for the U.S. Postal Service.
00:47:31.000And to me, I think this package is no good.
00:47:39.000It includes funding for like marijuana dispensaries, like all kinds of things that are not even relevant to the coronavirus.
00:47:48.000You know, this is just what they list in the broad strokes, the big ticket items for coronavirus relief.
00:47:55.000But there's a lot of bad stuff in there.
00:47:58.000That being said, the Republican response to this has been that we're not doing any more money.
00:48:04.000And to me, that is actually way worse, almost.
00:48:08.000Not that I'm in favor of the Democratic bill.
00:48:11.000This is obviously a naked political play, a power play that they're making, which is to say that Republicans have abdicated their responsibility to help the American people financially.
00:48:23.000So the Democrats have picked up where the Republicans left off, and now they can say, We are the ones trying to help the American people.
00:48:30.000We are the ones that want to give more money to Americans that are suffering, while Republicans grumble about the debt and cross their arms and say, That's too much spending and so on.
00:48:42.000And honestly, it couldn't be a bigger disappointment because what we've been talking about for the past few weeks is that this economic crisis is going to be the worst in American history, maybe worse than the Great Depression.
00:48:58.000You know, understand this did not happen because of the coronavirus, it happened because of the shutdown, which happened as a response to the coronavirus, but a government response, no less.
00:49:10.000The government said, you cannot do business.
00:49:52.000And this is because it is illegal in most states for businesses to operate and therefore for people to work and get paid and then go out and buy things.
00:50:02.000And so, if that's the case, if the government's going to say, well, you can't go outside because of this public health emergency, we are essentially going to make you unemployed, then it is the government's responsibility to make up the difference.
00:50:15.000And maybe, if not make up the difference totally, obviously the government can't ascertain how much everybody was being paid and.
00:50:22.000Who got laid off because of coronavirus?
00:50:25.000And, you know, it's not going to be perfect, but the government has to do something to prop up the economy.
00:50:31.000You cannot shut down the economy indefinitely because, understand, you shut down the economy and people can't get paid.
00:50:38.000People can't get paid, they stop working.
00:50:40.000People stop working, things stop being produced.
00:50:43.000You end up with a situation where you have no products and nobody has any money to buy the products that aren't being produced.
00:50:50.000This is like what's happening with meat right now.
00:50:54.000I saw last week one in five Wendy's locations in the country are without beef.
00:51:00.000They're running all kinds of promotions on social media, promoting these deals on their chicken nuggets and on their chicken sandwiches because they have no beef.
00:51:09.000And nobody's making the beef because people are being sent home, so it's not being produced.
00:51:15.000And in some cases, people are unable to afford groceries because they can't have jobs, because they got laid off, because their businesses have been closed because of the shutdown.
00:51:23.000And the government's going to throw up their arms and say, well, we can't borrow any more money, so you're out of luck, right?
00:51:29.000That's what the Republicans are telling us.
00:52:00.000Man, I was reminiscing about my glory days when.
00:52:04.000I had to sell off all my assets and liquidate my retirement and my savings so that I could buy groceries because the government said my business couldn't open because of a virus.
00:56:28.000So it's not just the tax revenue, but it's also all the capacity to borrow is underwritten by the taxpayer.
00:56:33.000And so So, to get elected, a business might say, I'll pay you $10 million to get into office.
00:56:40.000I'll pay this many congressmen $10 million to get elected.
00:56:43.000And if those congressmen can influence the budgetary process a little bit, that can accrue billions or trillions of dollars over the course of decades to contractors and different industries and all kinds of firms, businesses across the landscape in the economy.
00:57:04.000And so we have to believe this nonsense.
00:57:08.000That's ultimately what fiscal conservatism comes down to the American taxpayer can never see a dime of that.
00:57:15.000The American taxpayer, for the most part, you know, your welfare bums, your poor, whatever, and the super rich that rigged the game, they're going to get the money.
00:57:25.000But they can never let the middle class in on this secret that none of it matters.
00:57:29.000They can never let the middle class in on the secret that it's free money, everything's for sale, they've just got buckets of cash they're looking to give away.
00:57:37.000Because the minute that the middle class gets wise to that, well, then they're going to demand a little piece of that.
00:58:10.000Because they need us to be the workers.
00:58:14.000We need to work so that other people can eat.
00:58:18.000And that paradigm cannot be disrupted.
00:58:20.000That is fundamentally what underlies, I think, a lot of the anxiety about UBI and any kind of benefit to the middle class.
00:58:29.000Because once we stop running on the hamster wheel, then all the benefits are going to shut down, right?
00:58:36.000Once we sort of step off the plantation, then it's like, well, hey, who's going to.
00:58:41.000Who's going to be the tax livestock that we're going to carve up to feed all the important people, right?
00:58:46.000And all the voters, all the immigrants, all of the honor roll students in the south side of Chicago, who's going to pay for them all of a sudden?
00:58:55.000I think that's fundamentally what we're coming down to.
00:58:57.000And that's, by the way, why I supported Yang Gang.
00:59:00.000It was a big reason why I supported it back the other year.
00:59:03.000It was this radical idea that a politician would run for office and say, I'm going to help you.
00:59:09.000I am going to make your life better in a way that is tangible.
00:59:12.000And I said, there's something very liberating, there's something very refreshing about that idea that a politician would say, Hi, vote for me and I will make your life better.
01:00:01.000We destroyed their economic prospects.
01:00:03.000We've disrupted their plans for the year.
01:00:05.000And all you're going to get is a $1,200 check.
01:00:07.000You're not getting another dime out of us because all that money has to go to Raytheon and Lockheed Martin and it has to go to United and it has to go to Southwest and all the major industries.
01:00:36.000I remember when I was in high school, Milton Friedman, there was a Milton Friedman video on YouTube, and some woman said, All these millionaires and billionaires, what are they going to do with all their money?
01:00:46.000And Friedman said, Well, what do you think rich people do?
01:01:05.000Increasing wages or creating new jobs or anything like that?
01:01:08.000Or is it going towards stock buybacks and other conspicuous consumption, other ridiculous things?
01:01:16.000That's not to say that none of it is going out and distributed towards the economy, but how much of that is really going through the economy?
01:01:23.000If you look at the velocity of money, it's been going down every year for 30 years.
01:01:29.000The velocity of money, meaning how much money is being spent and moving around, what does that tell you?
01:02:30.000You know, they get a better starting position and better weapons.
01:02:33.000And no, we have to play the hard way where we never actually fight for the things we want, where we only, you know, we're going to get a little bit at a time and we give away huge benefits to the other side.
01:02:44.000That's just a respectable way to do politics.
01:03:35.000Show up to the Capitol with your gay flags and signs?
01:03:39.000You know, you have like conservatives waving like a gay pride flag, but it has an AR 15 on it, and that's like, I don't know, supposed to be inclusive or something.
01:03:49.000Hey, give us, reopen this country right now.
01:03:53.000You know, you're waving something like, might as well just wave a flag.
01:06:54.000I lived in a country that was totally broken through no fault of my own, but now that I'm in a country that already works, I'm just gonna gel and blend right in.
01:09:40.000Jordan B says, Watch the Hotep debate.
01:09:42.000It's amazing how in the weeds they get about everything when all Arbery had to do was not steal, not run, and don't try to take men's guns from their hands.
01:10:13.000I mean, there's other ways it's significant, but if you want to litigate that case, that's all you need to know.
01:10:19.000Polish American says, Bruh, I want to get into politics, but I am disheartened by the average political science income.
01:10:25.000Thoughts on degrees and in ways for DC?
01:10:30.000You know, I would say that it's really what you make it.
01:10:32.000You can't really look at average income because, you know, when you're looking at average, obviously average is across the age spectrum, across a variety of skill sets, and Political science can be applied to a lot of different things.
01:10:46.000You're not going to become a political scientist.
01:10:48.000You're going to work a political science job.
01:10:50.000And depending on what you do, the way that you get rich, really, in any profession, you know, from my imagination, I have only worked in one profession, obviously, but what I imagine is that, as with anything, you know, you work a job, you build up experience, you build up a network, and then you launch your own venture.
01:11:08.000I think that's really the only way to get rich.
01:11:10.000Unless you become like a lawyer or a doctor, you know, or something like that.
01:11:14.000But even in those cases, how does a doctor or a lawyer really make crazy money?
01:11:17.000They become a partner, they start their own practice.
01:11:21.000I'm not a total expert, but that's to me, it seems to me that that is the way that you become rich, is you have to make your own venture, whatever it is.
01:11:28.000I don't think anybody gets to be an insanely wealthy person just off a salary, unless you're a super high level, like an accountant or a vice president or a manager, you know, something like that.
01:11:38.000So I think it's generally the case across a lot of these fields that it really comes down to what you make it.
01:11:44.000I would not put too much stake into that because there are people with political science degrees that make insane money, and there are people that work on like campaigns and they make no money, you know?
01:11:54.000It all kind of depends on what you're willing to do.
01:11:57.000You know, like with YouTube, you know, there are people on YouTube that make millions of dollars.
01:12:03.000There are people on YouTube that make nothing.
01:12:06.000And, you know, it all depends on the individual.
01:12:10.000It all depends on, you know, what you're up to, how smart are you, how hard you work, that kind of thing.
01:12:16.000So I think political science is a good degree, very versatile.
01:12:20.000But I would recommend something more substantial.
01:12:22.000If you're going to get into politics, political science degree is right.
01:12:27.000If you want to make money, you know, there's not, well, there's money in politics, but it's easier to make money doing other things, you know.
01:14:22.000So, yeah, if he wants to do an interview, I'm game for that.
01:14:27.000But with regards to the Groyper Wars, no, the Groyper Wars is never about church, the Groyper Wars is about politics.
01:14:33.000Yamato says that even though Asians vote mostly Democrat, many of them still despise affirmative action.
01:14:38.000So, do you think race realism is still a good way of getting at least some of them on our side?
01:14:43.000I think that might be one avenue, sure.
01:14:46.000Big Grillin says, Last week I blocked all the porn streaming sites on my home router, and now my roommate is complaining the internet is having issues.
01:15:10.000I understand what you're doing, but, you know, it's like if it's your roommate, doesn't he kind of have a prerogative to do what he wants?
01:15:17.000I'm not trying to be libertarian here, but it's like.
01:15:20.000If I were paying for internet and, like, you know, let's say my roommate was a Democrat and he was like, I'm, you know, banning Daily Wire, I'd be like, what the fuck?
01:16:32.000I love how, like, you know, I get totally murdered in the media all the time about opposing interracial, and then people are like, he's got an interracial couple on his.
01:16:58.000Novacore says conservatives are really defending the rights of armed black militia to intimidate the neighborhood, but will condemn McMichael's open carry.
01:17:33.000I can't say, I can't promise you I'll check out the app.
01:17:36.000You know, the thing is, when you buy a Super Chat or you buy a merch item, you only buy the characters in the Super Chat or the items in the shop.
01:17:45.000You don't actually buy, you know, a demo.
01:17:50.000So I'm not saying that's what you're suggesting.
01:23:47.000Some people, they really do fall into the trap of believing that, like, their favorite celebrity or e celebrity, whatever, their favorite character is like, whoa.
01:23:59.000And it's like, I'm just a regular guy.
01:24:50.000Somebody emailed me years ago and they said, Hey, Nick, I really love your show and what you're doing is amazing and I just admire you so much and I want to do anything I can help.
01:25:02.000Is there any way that I can get involved?
01:25:04.000Is there anything I can do to help you?
01:25:31.000But I was like, oh, okay, well, if you're so eager to help, I said, why don't you timestamp my videos?
01:25:39.000I said, I think it's really good when I have timestamps on my videos, timestamping all the different subjects I'm talking about.
01:25:47.000At 15 minutes, he starts talking about.
01:25:49.000You know, Nathan Bedford Forrest at 30 minutes, he starts talking about the stimulus.
01:25:53.000If you could do that for all my shows, that'd be really good.
01:25:56.000Never heard from him, never got a reply.
01:26:00.000I think he, I think he clipped, I think, or rather, I think he timestamped like three videos and then he just quit and I never heard from him again.
01:26:06.000It was one, he either ghosted me completely or never replied, I should say, or he clipped like three and then stopped and I never heard from him again.
01:26:14.000So, so what he wanted to hear was, do you want to co host the show?
01:27:40.000Kurt Roman says, I went to visit the ruins of Washington's presidential house in Philadelphia and noticed that less than half of the exhibits were about his time there while in office.
01:27:50.000The rest is dedicated to his slaves and their stories.
01:27:54.000Even had a full movie playing of what life as Washington's slave was like.
01:29:19.000That's a good, that's a wise thing to do.
01:29:23.000You know, gold, I would say throw a little in like the SP 500.
01:29:26.000I'm not giving investment advice, but, you know, SP 500, I think something like that will be fruitful over probably a longer term, you know, as a longer term investment.
01:29:39.000Entropy Gang says people did some investigating about Colfax and found that it's running on a server in Chicago.
01:30:11.000There's plenty of simping by non whites.
01:30:14.000This is not as visible, but it happens.
01:30:17.000Yamato says, almost every country in the Far East has achieved 10 times more in the past 60 years than just about every country in the global south.
01:30:45.000Well, actually, according to this study, what study is going to explain away how every majority African country in the world is poor and all these East Asian countries are thriving?
01:30:57.000You know, Japan had nuclear bombs dropped on it and it's more well off than Haiti and Mexico.
01:31:03.000And Brazil and Argentina and Chile and everything else, right?
01:31:07.000Japan, which only westernized in 1848, right?
01:31:48.000If what everyone was saying is true, that everyone in the world is equal, it's just a matter of these historic things or whatever, then man, Africa just hit the fucking jackpot.
01:31:58.000You know, they were just as smart and just as capable as anybody else, and then we just gave them all this technology?
01:32:05.000Shouldn't they have taken that and turned Africa into.
01:32:09.000You know, new Europe, neo Europe, or, you know, some kind of advanced civilization.
01:32:14.000Not only did they not use the technology, we come there and, you know, not that it was totally humane, but we have built up all the infrastructure.
01:32:47.000You know, even when I was like a free market guy, I remember watching Milton Friedman, and Milton Friedman said he was talking about the benefits of colonialism.
01:32:54.000And he said, in some parts of Africa, when we arrived there, they hadn't discovered the wheel yet.
01:32:59.000And, you know, over time, I just kind of put two and two together, and I was like, wait a minute.
01:33:04.000At first, I was like, well, you could forgive white people for being racist back in the day, because could you imagine coming into Africa?
01:33:14.000In the 19th century, with trains and automobiles and electricity and the telephone, and maybe some of this was early 20th century, but you get the point.
01:33:24.000On the cusp of that, we are in the middle of the second industrial revolution, and you show up to someplace and they don't have the wheel yet.
01:33:32.000That's like the first thing on the technology tree is the wheel.
01:33:35.000And so, my first thought is, well, you could be forgiven if you were alive back then and that's all you knew was Europe, and then you show up one place and they don't know anything.
01:33:44.000Like, yeah, I mean, It's not right, but it makes sense.
01:38:19.000Entropy Gangs has been trying to red pill a conservative buddy from high school, but he keeps sending me the boomer memes with Clint Eastwood smoking a cig while saying shit like, If your dad is a liberal, don't forget to wish him a happy Mother's Day.
01:39:45.000But then I explored more and I talked to other young people and I got on like 4chan and started reading new books and new authors and.
01:39:54.000Met people in college and I got turned on to new ideas.
01:39:59.000So, the idea that an 18 year old would be sending around some unironic impact text, Clint Eastwood meme, like that, it's beyond belief that this is the case.
01:40:11.000I expect that from my parents, not from my peers or from my juniors.
01:40:17.000So, yeah, people like that are maybe beyond hope.
01:40:20.000And those are people, the problem is, those are normies.
01:40:23.000It really comes down to an internet thing.
01:40:25.000It's like, to what extent are you online?
01:40:27.000Because I'd probably still be laughing at that shit if I didn't have friends on the internet.
01:40:31.000If I didn't get on Twitter and befriend Beardson Beardley and Paul Town and Comrade Stump and Sean and all these different people.
01:40:44.000Because when I was libertarian, I was cringe and I liked cringe memes.
01:40:49.000And then I got online and I met other extremely online people who were into gaming and were into meme culture and Chan culture and boards and anime.
01:41:01.000I think that's the real distinction are you on the internet or are you not?
01:41:06.000Are you a total internet normie like these people where they get a little taste because of their turning point activism or are you a real gamer?
01:41:16.000And that's the thing, that is the real difference.
01:41:32.000And it's like an amalgamation, obviously, of like rap, anime, gaming, social media stuff like Instagram, Twitter, meme pages, YouTube drama, YouTube content.
01:41:45.000Like it's an amalgamation of all these different cultural artifacts coming together.
01:41:50.000And, you know, if people don't have that consciousness, even on a very basic level, they're going to come up with these memes, like you just said, where they misinterpret Joker, you know, where they're doing a meme of Joker from the movie Joker walking down the stairs and they confuse that with the clown meme.
01:42:07.000And they're like, oh, Nancy Pelosi walking into the House of Representatives as Joker.
01:43:42.000Entropy Gang says he also sent a text screenshot where he said excellent, just like Trump's black unemployment numbers, and says based right after.
01:43:50.000Bruh, that's even worse, is now they're trying to co opt our stuff.
01:45:33.000So, I appreciate the ninjit, but you know, if you want to switch over to entropy, it's you know, it's gonna get more bang for your buck, or at least I will.
01:45:41.000Epic Swag Gamer says, Your opinion on circumcision?
01:54:03.000Anand says, Meme culture truly is a cat and mouse game of normies finding memes and ruining them and then making fresh memes to replace them.
01:54:46.000I would rush to shower, rush to the bus, and then I would just eat my lunch in second period.
01:54:52.000I'd just get working on my lunch and eat that throughout the day.
01:54:56.000I'd start in second period and work my way through my lunch so that by the lunch period, all I had left to eat was my sandwich or whatever the main course was, the entree.
