00:00:00.000But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.
00:05:08.000And people don't realize what they have.
00:05:13.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.
00:05:27.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
00:05:33.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
00:07:11.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
00:07:16.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
00:07:22.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
00:07:30.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
00:07:38.000People have got to start to get courageous.
00:07:40.000And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God and to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.
00:07:55.000And the alternative is that there will be no country.
00:07:58.000Is it really only as big as low gas prices?
00:08:02.000Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?
00:08:09.000It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.
00:08:13.000It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.
00:08:42.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:08:47.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.
00:09:02.000And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.
00:09:12.000I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Greupel Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement, who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.
00:09:43.000America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.
00:09:54.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
00:14:49.000because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.
00:16:46.000Lawrence, I found something really interesting.
00:16:58.000In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire Americans.
00:17:06.000But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.
00:17:24.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
00:17:32.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
00:17:42.000And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
00:20:20.000I should have supported Groyper War II. Some
00:26:18.000of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
00:31:57.000Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.
00:32:09.000The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exists for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.
00:32:20.000The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.
00:32:24.000For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interest, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind.
00:32:34.000Our campaign represents a true existential This is not simply another four-year election.
00:32:46.000This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we, the people, reclaim control over our government.
00:32:58.000The political establishment that is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration.
00:33:10.000And economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry.
00:33:17.000The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world.
00:33:28.000It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth.
00:33:38.000And put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.
00:33:45.000This is a struggle for the survival of our nation.
00:33:50.000And this will be our last chance to save it.
00:33:54.000This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy, but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests.
00:34:05.000We're rigging the system, and our system is rigged.
00:37:11.000I don't want to be anyone Action has come.
00:37:27.000As long as we are led by politicians who will not put America first, then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America with respect, the respect that then we can be assured that other nations will not treat America
00:37:46.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:38:16.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:38:46.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:39:16.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:39:46.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:40:16.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:40:46.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:41:16.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:41:46.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:42:16.000The end of the day is the end of the day.
00:43:21.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
00:43:26.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.

00:44:22.000Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, we're all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.
00:52:45.000Why wouldn't you dedicate yourself to public service?
00:52:48.000Because I think it's a very mean life.
00:52:50.000I would love and I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life.
00:52:55.000And I also see it as somebody with strong views and somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be rife, but may be unpopular, wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.
00:53:11.000And that's a sad commentary for the political process.
00:53:14.000And if you have a minute, why don't we go?
00:54:55.000but he would staple green cards I cannot support this.
00:55:01.000And I will not encourage my followers to turn out in November to vote for this or campaign for this.
00:55:09.000It is not an unreasonable demand to say that we will not vote for a candidate that promises to import more legal immigrants.
00:55:19.000And it is not unreasonable because for the first time in 20 years, it is the majority opinion that there are too many legal immigrants coming into the country.
00:55:52.000And Americans need to get used to saying that.
00:55:54.000Native Americans never get what they ask for because they're always telling themselves and negotiating with themselves, telling us, It's good enough.
00:56:02.000We need to hear the words immigration moratorium.
00:59:53.000I want a wall And I want to drill, drill, drill Power Power Power Power Power Power Power My love has got no power He's got his strong beliefs My love has got no fame He's got his strong beliefs My love has got no money
01:00:21.000He's got his strong beliefs Want more and more People just want more and more Freedom and love What he's looking for Want more and more People just want more and more Freedom and love What he's looking for Free from desire My insensis purify Free from desire My insensis purify Free from desire
01:00:49.000My insensis purify Free from desire Na na na na na na na na na na To the top Teddy on my chest Nigga, I'm trying to Slip those in the vip I got one of the blitz I got one of the vibes I cut both and I see lies They go fucking lies Bitch, you know this kid is saying You can fucking die
01:07:03.000And people don't realize what they have.
01:07:08.000And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it, it's all gone down the drain.
01:07:23.000Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.
01:07:28.000We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.
01:09:07.000This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.
01:09:11.000We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.
01:09:18.000And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.
01:09:25.000People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.
01:09:33.000People have got to start to get courageous.

01:11:49.000These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.
01:15:57.000And we want people that can burn really more than anybody.
01:16:01.000But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the real world.
01:16:09.000The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.
01:16:16.000The mission is to create a Christian future in our time.
01:16:21.000The only way we're gonna do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do, The only way that we're going to make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian.
01:16:45.000Because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us.

01:28:11.000from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.
01:33:35.000Can I just say, are you trusting Brian Adams?
01:33:53.000Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.

01:45:16.000My own narrative is not one of some sudden, booming bolt of lightning out of the blue.
01:45:21.000It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.

01:46:16.000Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, we're all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.
01:54:38.000Come to my block, come and see how we living, we chilling with black Why wouldn't you dedicate yourself to public service?
01:54:43.000Because I think it's a very mean life.
01:54:45.000I would love and I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life.

01:55:09.000And if you have a minute, why don't we go?
01:56:32.000In 2016, Donald Trump vowed that the United States would buy and, more importantly, hire American.
01:56:39.000But in June of 2024, during the All In podcast hosted by his donor, David Sachs, he committed that he would not only expand work visas, but he would staple green cards to them.

02:15:16.000Featured story tonight, we're talking about the Ukraine summit, which was held today in Saudi Arabia between representatives from the United States and Russia.
02:15:35.000The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, said it was a good meeting.
02:15:40.000Marco Rubio, our Secretary of State, as well as Mike Waltz, National Security Advisor, they said it went well.
02:15:47.000And they've laid out a four-step roadmap for how the United States and Russia are going to resume diplomacy and hopefully bring an end to the war.
02:16:01.000They have to pick up where they left off and resume a diplomatic communication because that's where we are right now is that they're just not talking at all.
02:16:13.000And the United States is treating Russia as though they are a pariah state.
02:17:02.000And if you saw the press conference today, Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, and he went through some of the wasteful spending that Doge is uncovering.
02:17:12.000And to me, all of this is just so, like, cuck-servative coded.
02:17:19.000This is what Rand Paul does every year.
02:17:23.000This is what the budget hawks, the fiscal conservatives, they always and they love to do this.
02:17:30.000They go through item by item the most ridiculous cases of wasteful government spending.
02:17:37.000So Trump does a press conference at Mar-a-Lago and line by line he goes over each item.
02:17:44.000$15 million for transgender surgery in Colombia, $50 million for...
02:17:51.000Underwater, basket weaving in Mozambique, that kind of thing.
02:17:57.000And I put this on Twitter, and everybody's on my case about it.
02:18:03.000The replies are always AIDS on Twitter.
02:18:06.000But I said on Twitter about this press conference, about what Trump said, does nobody who supports this know how to do math?
02:18:58.000And people say, well, gotta start somewhere.
02:19:03.000Well, should we let the fraud continue?
02:19:06.000Let's say that we elected Trump even for that reason, and we didn't, but let's say we did.
02:19:14.000If anybody were really serious about You would go to the biggest line items in the budget, which are entitlements, coming in at $5 trillion, and then defense, which is just under $1 trillion.
02:19:34.000So between entitlements and defense, that's the vast majority of the spending.
02:19:42.000The non-defense, non-entitlement, or discretionary spending, Is less than 10% of the whole budget.
02:19:50.000And you've got Elon and Doge coming in and taking a sledgehammer to it and causing all these disruptions.
02:20:05.000So they're now going in to the Social Security Administration, which is pretty bold and politically risky.
02:20:16.000And Elon and Trump are saying that there are millions of people in the Social Security program who are over 200 years old.
02:20:26.000And that's supposed to suggest that those people are getting payments.
02:20:31.000So they're posting, and I've seen this on Twitter, they're posting these numbers that there are potentially millions of people that are in the Social Security program in the records of the...
02:20:44.000Social Security Administration, who are over the age of 120 years old, the implication being that they're getting a monthly payment from the government.
02:20:55.000So the press has fact-checked that, and it turns out that Social Security is automatically suspended for anybody over the age of 115. So what they're posting is just not true.
02:23:01.000But this is a genre of content where black people will listen to rock music, and maybe it's real, maybe it's not, but they say they've never heard it before, and they listen to a famous rock song, and they get really into it, and they really like it, and white people love this.
02:24:10.000Any white person, pick your favorite rock song, and you can find a video on YouTube of a black person pretending to have never heard it and listening to it for the first time and really enjoying it.
02:24:22.000And these videos have millions of views.
02:24:42.000And I was thinking to myself, why is it that white people do like that?
02:24:48.000I was thinking, why is it that when we see a black person with like a do-rag on, Because that was another one.
02:24:56.000It was two black guys and they have a do-rag on and they're really getting into it.
02:25:00.000And you ask yourself, why is it that we as white people like to watch black people enjoy our culture?
02:25:10.000And I was thinking, contrary to a lot of the racialists, Or race idolaters on the right, and this is going to be, maybe a lot of people aren't going to agree with this to watch the show, but I'm going to say it because this is what I feel, and it's true.
02:25:26.000You know me, I'm a Catholic, and I am a white nationalist.
02:25:30.000I think America should be a white country, but I don't hate the other races.
02:25:34.000I don't think they're less than human, and I wouldn't even strictly say that I'm a white supremacist.
02:25:43.000I think the white people are certainly exceptional at a lot of things, maybe most things, but I think that there's an inherent equality that we all have.
02:25:52.000Anyway, and this is distinct from other people on the right, and I see this more and more, people that are genuine race idolaters.
02:26:32.000But I think about the reason that white people like to see black people enjoy the music.
02:26:38.000And I think there is something fundamental.
02:26:42.000There is something within all of us that we do actually long for a universal community of human beings.
02:26:52.000And obviously I think that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have borders.
02:26:58.000And that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have distinct racial communities within the world.
02:27:03.000But I think that when you see videos like that, there is something about that that makes you feel good.
02:27:10.000There is something about that where you actually like that they appreciate our culture.
02:27:16.000And vice versa, black people like when white people appreciate their culture.
02:27:21.000I think it does betray the fact that on a deep level, we do actually.
02:27:30.000We do actually have this universal human experience, and we actually do like to share.
02:27:36.000There is this innate human desire to share with other people, our culture, things about ourselves, just like we have a desire to share within a racial community, but also between racial communities.
02:27:50.000And I was thinking that at the same time, at the same time that I saw that, I was also thinking about the Trevor Noah video.
02:28:00.000I don't know if you guys saw this, but it was actually really surprising.
02:28:06.000Trevor Noah is the South African black host of The Daily Show.
02:28:10.000He took over for Jon Stewart some years ago.
02:28:24.000But he was on this talk show with these two black women, and they were more insufferable than him.
02:28:29.000But he said on the show that as Jim Crow and segregation and racism was on its way out, he said America automatically embraced racial integration.
02:28:44.000And he said that that was really a false dichotomy that was presented, that you either had segregation and cruelty and abuse.
02:28:54.000And animosity towards the black people.
02:28:58.000But then the only other course besides that was racial integration, which is that blacks and whites would be forced to live together, forced to integrate, and that's just how it has to be.
02:29:13.000He said, and is there something to be said for the fact that black people can relate to other black people more than they relate to white people or even more specifically that Africans from Africa can relate to other Africans and communicate with each other in their own way and understand and is there something to be said for the fact that black people can relate to Even more specifically, that Africans from Africa can relate to other Africans and communicate with each other in their own way and understand each other in a deeper level.
02:29:34.000The word he's looking for is familiarity.
02:30:57.000There will always be a lack of familiarity.
02:30:59.000There will always be a sense of alienation between the races.
02:31:04.000And so that is what Trevor Noah is saying.
02:31:08.000At the same time, it doesn't mean we have to eradicate each other.
02:31:12.000At the same time, it doesn't mean we have to subjugate each other.
02:31:16.000And I think that is towards a racial politics where there are distinct racial communities in the world and in the country, and that the relationship between the communities is just simply managed.
02:31:32.000And there can be times when there is more harmony between the races and less harmony, and certainly there will be conflict and there will be times of relative peace.
02:31:43.000But I think that's where things need to go, this idea that there is sameness.
02:31:51.000We're human, and our humanness and our innate urge for universal community, it makes us want to share with each other and in some cases come together.
02:32:02.000At the same time, that same human nature also turns inwardly.
02:32:07.000And at the same time that we want a universal community, we feel more comfortable within our own racial community most of the time.
02:32:16.000And so maybe we can come together in certain common spaces, certain public spaces, like in a government building or in a church or a public square.
02:32:30.000But maybe we retreat to our separate corners in our neighborhoods and playgrounds and schools and things like that.
02:32:37.000And sort of like, how do you synthesize those two positions?
02:32:40.000Because, you know, I would say that, and it's not to say that, oh, it's just I'm in the middle, but I'm not someone who is so racist that says...
02:32:53.000I could never be a Christian because black people are inferior.
02:32:56.000Because there are people that believe that.
02:33:09.000But I'm also not on the other side where I say race means nothing.
02:33:13.000And America should become all brown people.
02:33:17.000And I want brown people in my neighborhood.
02:33:18.000Because it's like, you know, I want to live in a white neighborhood.
02:33:24.000When I get married and have a family or if I decide to do that, I want to raise my kids in a white neighborhood and I want the people to be white.
02:33:33.000And even more particularly, I don't even want to live in the South.
02:33:37.000I want to live in the Midwest or among American ethnics because people that are Italian and Irish that live in Boston or Chicago or New York are different than people that are German.
02:33:51.000And English that live in Naperville, who live in like Springfield, Illinois.
02:34:00.000So, so anyway, so those are just some thoughts I've had about race, but I think that's sort of the future.
02:34:09.000And it reminds me of what I think Sam Francis, it was either Sam Francis or Pat Buchanan, but they said about race, they said, it's not everything, but it isn't nothing.
02:36:14.000So that's just some shower thoughts for you.
02:36:17.000Literally, I was literally in the shower for like 90 minutes clipping that.
02:36:21.000I was in the shower for like 90 minutes like on my phone and then someone sent that to me and I spent like 30 or 40 minutes looking at black people reacting to that song and like finding the best clip and trimming it up to post on Twitter.
02:37:51.000And I've said this for a very, very long time.
02:37:53.000I've been doing this show for eight years.
02:37:55.000And for eight years, I've been saying the debt is a bigger problem than you think.
02:38:00.000Because there are a lot of people that subscribe to modern monetary theory.
02:38:04.000There's a lot of people that think the debt is like theoretical.
02:38:08.000And lately we're seeing that is not true.
02:38:11.000Because now that we have this persistent inflation, and the inflation is unanchored from the Federal Reserve's actions on interest rates recently, now that we have interest rates that are above zero for really like the first time in 20 years, the chickens are coming home to roost.
02:38:33.000The debt has been accumulating for all this time.
02:38:36.000Trillions are being added to the debt every year.
02:38:39.000The debt is now north of $30 trillion.
02:38:41.000And again, for 20 years, that didn't matter because interest rates were zero since the housing bust in 2006. Now that interest rates are coming up because inflation is coming up, now we're paying a ton of interest on that debt.
02:38:57.000And if the interest remains high to combat inflation and the deficits keep going up or they stay high and the debt keeps growing, the interest keeps climbing along with the other liabilities and you get into a situation where the government is functionally bankrupt.
02:39:16.000And I've been saying it for a long time.
02:39:18.000And so I do actually support what Doge is doing in principle.
02:39:24.000When Doge goes into the federal departments and agencies and they're looking for waste, fraud and abuse to cut and they're firing personnel.
02:39:42.000I think that is responsible, which is to say it is making the country solvent and it is putting us in a better economic position.
02:39:52.000But I also support it for political reasons because at the same time, and this is another way to think about it, maybe this is the real reason.
02:39:59.000When you retire, this is what they say.
02:40:02.000When you retire all government employees, that's the neoreactionary terminology for this, not only are you saving money and there's a cost savings, but you're also removing all of these personnel who have a distinct interest.
02:40:21.000the bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., the permanent civil service that works in the departments and agencies, they do not get replaced from one administration to the next.
02:40:34.000So you have people in the Department of Education, in the USAID, the Foreign Service, the State Department, Department of Energy.
02:40:41.000They've been working these government jobs for decades.
02:40:46.000And as such, as government workers, they've become a unique class, distinct from the private sector, even distinct from what we conventionally think of as the political system.
02:41:01.000Their politics is bound up with their interest as a class.
02:41:06.000They will never vote for shrinking government because that means losing their job.
02:41:10.000Their class interest is a political interest.
02:41:14.000And so they start to develop all these other political ideas.
02:41:17.000Like, for example, the State Department favors a massive footprint of the United States all around the world because that means that they're in business.
02:41:28.000Their economic class interest is their political interest.
02:41:32.000Now, this is a problem because they control the political system.
02:41:36.000So you have this political class running the political system, and their politics is protecting the political system.
02:41:46.000So the purpose of the system is no longer to, let's say, for example, educate Americans or have cheap energy or Influence the other countries in America's interest.
02:42:04.000The purpose of the system becomes to perpetuate the system itself.
02:42:36.000They are really not serious about cutting the deficit.
02:42:40.000Because, and everybody knows this, anybody that just looks at the numbers, the federal expenditures are almost all, 90% of it, is two things.
02:43:15.000Congress can't come in and cut those year over year like they could when they're appropriating money for the federal departments and agencies.
02:43:28.000Mandatory meaning you have to appropriate that money as opposed to discretionary spending where it is at Congress's discretion whether they will appropriate or not, whether they will fund or whether they will cut.
02:43:41.000So the vast majority of it, the majority of it is entitlements, mandatory spending that they can't touch.
02:43:49.000And then within discretionary spending, the...
02:43:52.000The stuff that they can touch, the majority of that is defense.
02:44:47.000That is what they're going in and gutting and they want to close down the Department of Education and they're gutting the Department of Energy and they're gutting the State Department and they're gutting and it's nice and it's good.
02:44:59.000Like I said, for the aforementioned reasons, I support it more for the political reasons than anything in this case.
02:45:06.000But in terms of the cost savings, how substantial will that really be in the long term?
02:45:16.000It's especially not significant when you consider that the source of future spending, future liabilities, it's all coming from entitlements, interest on the debt, and defense.
02:45:31.000So presently, those are the big expenditures.
02:45:34.000In the future, those are the big expenditures.
02:45:37.000And the big problem that nobody wants to talk about is in particular the unfunded liabilities, which are all of these retirees.
02:45:46.000All these people that will retire at the age of 65, they're going to live to be 100 or 90 or whatever, especially with life extension, and they're going to be collecting Social Security and Medicare for 40 years.
02:46:02.000And there's going to be more old people than young people.
02:46:06.000The old people are going to cost more to take care of in retirement and healthcare benefits than young people are putting into.
02:46:56.000When, and we talked a little bit about this last night, so I don't want to spend too much time on it tonight.
02:47:02.000But when I see Trump out there reading out the list of wasteful government programs and government spending, I'm thinking to myself, Is this really why we fought the whole battle?
02:47:15.000Again, I said this all last night, but we've been fighting for 10 years.
02:47:53.000We fought for 10 years and all this for austerity, for fiscal conservatism, for Doge to go in and fight waste, fraud, and abuse.
02:48:07.000Like the Democrats in the 90s, that's what it was all for?
02:48:11.000Because when I signed up, when I was 18 years old, when I was in college, I signed up to roll back illegal immigration, to get the United States out of the Middle East in the Iraq War, to stop free trade and build factories in America.
02:48:28.000That's what it was about to me 10 years ago.
02:48:31.000It was about nationalism, it was about patriotism, free speech.
02:48:36.000Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, things like that.
02:49:31.000Consider something like illegal immigration.
02:49:34.000On average, on net, one illegal immigrant costs the government in benefits and in-kind transfers.
02:49:44.000If you quantify how much the government spends on net on an individual illegal immigrant over their lifetime, it's like $127,000 for every single one.
02:50:12.000That's trillions of dollars for those people.
02:50:15.000That's like, what, one, two trillion dollars or something like this?
02:50:19.000And that's just the amount of people that came in under Biden.
02:50:22.000That's not counting the children that they'll have who will assuredly take on as many benefits or roughly the same.
02:50:30.000That's not counting people from previous administrations that came in.
02:50:34.000If we have an illegal immigrant population of 40 or 50 million people, that's a considerable amount of money.
02:50:41.000And that's not taking into account all kinds of other economic costs that are involved.
02:50:46.000So if the priority were deporting illegal immigrants, not only do you solve a major problem that is not economic in nature, But the knock-on effect, the second-order effect, is that you actually save money in the long run.
02:52:00.000I don't think we're even getting that.
02:52:02.000I mean, there's a negotiation right now within the Republican Party between the Senate and the House about what they're going to include in budget reconciliation.
02:52:11.000I don't see anything in there for Subsidies.
02:52:14.000I don't see anything in there for any kind of other actions that would foster industry in America.
02:53:14.000I support getting young people involved in government.
02:53:16.000You know, so it's not that I'm against it necessarily.
02:53:19.000It's just that I think it's maybe misdirected in some ways.
02:53:26.000And this is a story from the Associated Press.
02:53:29.000There's also just a lot of crap coming out of there.
02:53:32.000Elon is going around saying that they're tackling Social Security.
02:53:35.000They're going to find all this waste, fraud, and abuse, and they're going to cut all that.
02:53:39.000They're not actually going to fundamentally change how Social Security is administered.
02:53:42.000They're going to find waste, fraud, and abuse, and there's going to be all these cuts.
02:53:47.000And to bolster that argument, they say, well, we're going through the data, and we found that there are like 10 million people over the age of 120 who are obviously dead, but they're still considered in Social Security.
02:54:05.000And I suppose the implication, what we're supposed to believe when we hear that, is that all those people are receiving benefits, which would be pretty ridiculous if people that are 250 years old are getting Social Security.
02:54:18.000Well, there's a report out from AP that says that's not true at all, actually.
02:54:34.000They're obviously fraudulent or incompetent.
02:54:37.000He said, if you take all those millions of people off Social Security, all of a sudden we have a very powerful Social Security with people that are 80, 70, and 90, but not 200. He said there's one person in the system listed as 360 years old.
02:54:54.000A July 2024 report from Social Security's Inspector General states that from fiscal years 2015 through 2022, the agency paid out almost $8.6 trillion in benefits, including $71.8 billion, or less than 1% in improper payments.
02:55:33.000It says most of the erroneous payments were overpayments to living people rather than to dead people.
02:55:40.000In addition, in early January, the Treasury clawed back more than $31 million in a variety of federal payments that improperly went to dead people.
02:55:50.000The money was reclaimed as part of a five-month pilot program after Congress gave the Treasury Department temporary access to the Social Security Administration's full death master file for three years as part of the Omnibus Appropriations Bill in 2021. The SSA maintains the most complete federal database of individuals who have died,
02:56:10.000and the file contains more than 142 million records going back to 1899. Part of the confusion comes from Social Security software system based on the COBOL programming language, which has a lack of date type.
02:56:26.000This means that some entries with missing or incomplete birth dates will default to a reference point of more than 150 years ago.
02:56:33.000Additionally, a series of reports from the SSA's Inspector General in March 2023 and July 24 State that the agency has not established a new system to properly annotate death information in its database, which included roughly 19 million Social Security numbers of people born in 1920 or earlier or not marked as deceased.
02:56:55.000This does not mean, however, that they were receiving benefits.
02:56:59.000A July 2023 Social Security Office of the Inspector General report states that almost none of the number holders discussed in the report So in other words, they're going around with these numbers saying, well, there's 10 million people in the database that are over 120 years old.
02:57:29.000And again, the implication is those people are getting benefits.
02:57:33.000But we have all these reports going back 10 years that say, The reason that that appears this way is because of a programming language in the database that they have, which improperly marks the year that they were born.
02:57:48.000It says that most of the waste is accruing to overpaying people rather than going dead people, and that the system automatically stops payments to people that are over the age of 115 anyway.
02:59:08.000Interest rates go down because of the laws of supply and demand.
02:59:12.000Bring the interest rates down, and this is what they're really after.
02:59:16.000They want interest rates to go way, way low again because low interest rates is what powers speculation on technology.
02:59:25.000Low interest rates is what fuels venture capitalism.
02:59:29.000When someone like Mark Andreessen or Sean McGuire is looking to spend billions of dollars on these super risky potential tech unicorns, you know, the next Uber, the next Airbnb, the next whatever, it's very risky.
02:59:45.000So when you're looking for these super, super risky tech companies, you want to invest in as many as you can.
02:59:53.000You want to get all that coverage in the event that one of them pops off.
02:59:57.000And if you're loaning out all that money, you need the money to be free to borrow.
03:00:02.000If you're borrowing all these billions of dollars to invest in all these super risky speculative tech companies, the money can't be super expensive to borrow.
03:00:12.000Because if the interest rates are high and it costs a lot to borrow money, then you can't invest in risky projects or as many of them.
03:00:24.000And you have to be a lot more conservative.
03:00:26.000And when that tightening occurs, it's the tech industry.
03:01:37.000Everything that Elon is doing is for that.
03:01:39.000And to answer a lot of these questions and find efficiencies and, you know, have these breakthroughs to get us to Mars, they need AI to be able to innovate.
03:01:49.000So this is the crazy strategy, and it's like in reality what we need the government to do.
03:01:57.000It's not to just give free money to venture capitalists to just pump it into their cronies' startups.
03:02:04.000It's for the government to have that power.
03:02:06.000It's for the government to make targeted investments.
03:02:09.000It's for the government to build up the labor force, for the government to put up trade barriers and protect trade, especially against China.
03:02:19.000As opposed to what they're doing right now.
03:02:21.000It's for the government to create a society that's more conducive to innovation.
03:02:25.000I mean, because the way it is right now, what they seem to be forgetting is that in 100 years, we're not going to have a country if you don't have law and order and some degree of homogeneity.
03:02:39.000If the country is just 10,000% diversity and it's a constant ethnic war and the people are low IQ. Or, you know, they have these cultures which are not conducive to the way of life that we have.
03:02:54.000It's, you're going to kill the golden goose, so to speak.
03:02:58.000So I think the, you know, this accelerationist approach where it's like, hey, we're screwed.
03:03:04.000Let's just pour as much, print as much money, pour it into tech, get technology to.
03:03:11.000Like, they take priority in allocation of resources.
03:03:31.000That is the whole-of-government approach that's being undertaken.
03:03:34.000And that's when he realized that that is how the election was a sham.
03:03:42.000And what currently animates the White House is this distinct business interest.
03:03:48.000It's a distinct interest of one sector of the economy.
03:03:52.000And they have this ideology that they're going to get all the free money and they're going to build AI and they're going to become like gods and they're going to fix everything.
03:04:01.000And like, they got Trump in office so that they could do that, so they could get in there and make it happen.
03:04:09.000People voted on inflation, immigration, stuff like that.
03:04:13.000And that's why I was trying to tell people throughout the election, like, look, you think this is one thing, but really it's something else.
03:04:22.000Elon did not give Trump $300 million to deport illegals.
03:04:27.000He gave Trump $300 million to get the administrative state off of his neck at Tesla and SpaceX to get competitive procurement.
03:04:36.000For SpaceX and Palantir and for XAI to relax safety and environment regulations on his companies, to secure the supply chains for his batteries, and for other electronics with lithium and cobalt and nickel and rare earths and things like that.
03:04:57.000And that's why all the other tech people supported it too.
03:05:00.000And that's why they placed all these personnel.
03:05:03.000That's why they have all these influential.
03:05:05.000AI, crypto, and other czars in the government, these unofficial positions who are now advising everybody in government.
03:05:17.000So I just disagree with the whole direction of this thing.
03:05:22.000And what needs to emerge is a kind of forceful right-wing opposition to this technocratic idea.
03:05:31.000It's like a technological technocratic.
03:05:36.000And we need to push back against that and have a faction that says the social order of America takes precedence.
03:05:46.000The spiritual, moral, and social order of America takes precedence over some of these economic factors or perceived what they really are financial interests rather than economic factors.
03:06:04.000And we'll talk about some of the developments on that front.
03:06:09.000So it looks like there's been a big breakthrough.
03:06:11.000You know, last week we covered the phone call between Trump and Putin.
03:06:16.000Last week Trump spoke on the phone with the Russian president for an hour and a half.
03:06:21.000And at the same time, the Secretary of Defense gave a press conference and gave some key concessions.
03:06:27.000And what's happening is two things here.
03:06:30.000On the one hand, there is a warming of relations.
03:06:34.000Under the Biden administration, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, of course, Russia was completely severed and isolated from the international – I should say from the Western-led international system.
03:06:47.000We put sanctions on them, put sanctions on their personnel, financial sanctions, seized their assets, cut them off from the SWIFT payment system.
03:06:57.000And of course we're selling Ukraine weapons to kill the Russians and we're condemning them in the United Nations and kicking them out of supranational bodies and our companies are boycotting them and they're getting sanctioned at the Olympics and things like that.
03:07:12.000They're being treated like a pariah state.
03:07:15.000And there is no diplomatic relationship any longer between Washington and Moscow.
03:07:20.000And that's a problem because we're in a war with Moscow.
03:07:25.000And it's counterintuitive, but when you're in a war with another country, that's actually when you need a diplomatic relationship.
03:07:32.000Because that's how you negotiate an end to the war.
03:07:37.000That's also, by the way, how you negotiate other things.
03:07:43.000That's how you coordinate, in this very peculiar conflict, the rules of engagement.
03:07:49.000If the United States is giving weapons to Ukraine to kill Russians...
03:07:53.000It puts us in a situation where there could be miscalculations.
03:08:00.000What happens if a Russian missile comes at Ukraine and we don't know if there's a nuclear warhead on it?
03:08:07.000What happens if a weapon goes towards Ukraine and we think it's going to hit Poland?
03:08:37.000This is what leads to a nuclear war, especially when you have two nuclear superpowers which are engaged in a proxy war, which is increasingly a very direct shooting hot war.
03:08:49.000So you need a diplomatic relationship for rules of engagement to avert miscalculations and also so that you can expedite the end of the war with negotiations.
03:09:00.000That doesn't happen when you have a fanatical ideological regime like we had under Biden where we said, well, like Russia's not a democracy or whatever.
03:09:09.000So the only outcome is like they're going to be defeated utterly.
03:09:15.000And it's like, what do you think is going to happen?
03:09:17.000You think you're going to wipe Russia off the map?
03:09:19.000How do you think that's going to play out?
03:09:21.000I mean, seriously, you think we're going to overthrow Putin?
03:09:25.000We're not going to talk to Moscow until Ukraine takes back their territories or Putin's thrown out of office or Russia ceases to exist or we're in a war with them and destroy the whole world?
03:09:36.000Like, what exactly is the intended outcome?
03:09:42.000It was a very positive development last week that Trump and Putin spoke on the phone.
03:09:47.000And not only did they begin to thaw those relations by talking again, but Trump also gave up some, I don't know if they're concessions, but created a starting point for a negotiation.
03:09:59.000He said, look, Ukraine is never getting those territories back.
03:10:04.000Ukraine's also never joining NATO. And America will not have a military presence in Ukraine.
03:10:11.000All of those things would be non-starters for Russia in a negotiation.
03:10:15.000Russia would never accept any of those things.
03:12:19.000It says, quote, Following a high-level meeting between U.S. and Russian officials, the State Department said Washington and Moscow will begin taking steps to normalize the diplomatic relationship between the two superpowers.
03:12:32.000U.S.-Russian diplomacy sank during the first Trump administration, and Joe Biden cut nearly all contact with Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
03:12:41.000Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, and Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff met with a Russian delegation led by Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday.
03:12:53.000During a press conference after the meeting, Rubio said the parties agreed on four points.
03:13:43.000said the last thing we agreed to is that while our teams are working on all this, the five of us that...
03:13:49.000We're here today are going to remain engaged in the process to make sure it's moving along in a productive way.
03:13:55.000While Tuesday's talks were the first significant effort aimed at ending the war in Ukraine since April 2022, Trump's effort to engage with Russia has been condemned by much of the political class in the West.
03:14:08.000Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has said he will refuse to abide by any agreement inked between the U.S. and Russia.
03:14:18.000You love to see that he thinks that he's going to stand in the way.
03:14:24.000But this is a very positive development, and this is consistent with what the Trump administration really is, which is that they are, to the core, China hawks.
03:14:36.000More than anything, what Silicon Valley and the Bannonites, Trump crew, What they all have in common, Mike Waltz, Elbridge Colby, Rubio, they're all China hawks.
03:15:46.000Even during the communist days, the United States engaged in a trilateral diplomacy between Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China.
03:15:55.000And so the big geopolitical transition that is taking place in this century, of course, it goes without saying, is the rise of China.
03:16:04.000It's a nation of a billion people with a purchasing power that is greater than the United States, industrial capacity that has already exceeded the United States.
03:16:28.000It's going to become far bigger than ours in the coming years.
03:16:32.000And China will compete with the United States for hegemony in the region, in Asia.
03:16:37.000And then, because of the Belt and Road Initiative, they will compete for global hegemony with the United States.
03:16:45.000They're building ports, bridges, highways, cables, all kinds of infrastructure, which has dual use, commercial use, and could be converted to military use.
03:17:00.000In every continent in the world, nearly every country on the planet is involved in Belt and Road and is receiving Chinese credit in some form.
03:17:08.000And so this is the great global competition.
03:17:20.000Now, if China is the priority, you know, when Obama inaugurated this pivot to Asia, shifting our focus away from counterterrorism in the Middle East, Shifting away from countering Russia and Europe towards the Pacific, if that was a change inaugurated by Obama,
03:17:38.000continued under Trump, continued under Biden, will continue under this administration during a very critical period, it would follow then that not only can we not be involved in Ukraine fighting this war when we need to be countering China, it's the opposite.
03:17:54.000We actually should be working with Russia.
03:17:58.000If Russia is a strategic asset to China, we should be working to wrest that from China rather than the opposite, which is driving Russia into China's arms.
03:18:12.000And what we've done in the Ukraine war is exactly that.
03:18:16.000We have pushed Russia into strategic cooperation with China, where Russia is providing China with oil and advanced technology and military equipment.
03:18:26.000And in exchange, China is, they're buying it.
03:18:29.000And they're making up for what Russia was receiving from the United States.
03:18:34.000And this is like the nightmare coalition.
03:18:37.000To have Russia, China, Iran, and the African countries working together, this is a recipe for disaster.
03:18:46.000Because the future of competition between the U.S. and China, among other things, Like shipbuilding and espionage and these industries of the future, at its core, eventually will become a war about minerals, a war about raw materials.
03:19:04.000Because in order to build these technologies of the future, the electronics, the optics, the batteries, electric vehicles, drones, Because it's really a battery revolution, which is driving the drone revolution, driving a lot of these things.
03:19:23.000You're going to need the raw materials that China has, that Africa has, that Russia has, that are in Central Asia, that are in Kazakhstan, that are in the Middle East, that are in Afghanistan, that are in the Congo.
03:19:39.000And if Russia and China are working together, and if they control Central Asia, if they control the Indo-Pacific...
03:19:45.000If China becomes the hegemon of the Pacific, and if they use their credit to buy off Africa and Latin America, very quickly we find ourselves in a precarious situation where we are on the back foot.
03:19:59.000So when Rubio says we're talking about bringing an end to the war and then talking about geopolitical and economic cooperation in the aftermath, this is what he is talking about.
03:20:11.000This is what Trump was talking about years ago.
03:20:14.000This is what should have been the strategic thinking in the beginning of the 21st century for people that were prescient.
03:20:24.000So that's where all of this is headed.
03:20:28.000They're prioritizing China over Russia, over Iran, and other conflicts in the Middle East.
03:20:39.000They want to put all our resources into Taiwan.
03:20:43.000They believe that China will invade Taiwan.
03:20:46.000They believe that China is unconcerned at the prospect that the United States would intervene directly to defend Taiwan.
03:20:56.000So China believes that they could go in and take it.
03:20:58.000And Taiwan will not be able to repel the attack and the United States won't intervene on their behalf.
03:21:04.000And China believes, and American planners believe, that if China is successful in doing that, then the Philippines is next, Vietnam is next.
03:21:13.000The dominoes start to fall, and then China, or rather the Pacific, becomes China's playground.
03:21:19.000And the most important shipping, all the commerce, all the population, Asia being increasingly the most important region in the world, will then be controlled by China.
03:21:30.000And subsequently, consequently, China will rule the 21st century, or the latter half of it.
03:21:46.000We need to bolster our existing Quad allies, Japan, India, Australia.
03:21:51.000We have to continue to bolster the security of Taiwan.
03:21:56.000We need to continue to build naval bases in Indonesia and Philippines and keep up the island chain around China and then cut off that land-based Silk Road.
03:22:11.000Economic belt that would run through Central Asia and Russia.
03:22:20.000So it is about pulling Russia from China's orbit.
03:22:27.000And, you know, that does put Putin in a good position because then he gets to play China and the United States off of each other for his benefit.
03:22:34.000And this is really the birth of, like, a truly multipolar world order.
03:22:40.000Where different poles are not aligned.
03:26:10.000But your neighborhood is all Mexicans now.
03:26:13.000I don't think that was really the victory you thought it was.
03:26:16.000So do we want to win so more of that can happen?
03:26:18.000Or maybe we do a tactical loss and then there's a period of civil unrest.
03:26:24.000You know, barbarian units are spawning in, barbarian pikemen, barbarian warriors are spawning and attacking your cities, pillaging your tile improvements, capturing your workers.
03:26:40.000And there's a period of civil unrest where you change your ideology and culture tree and you transition from Jewish control to something else.
03:26:49.000So there's many schools of thought on what's really good for, strictly speaking, we, us, the people here.
03:26:57.000But what's good for the American state, that is the right approach.
03:27:01.000If you're playing on the chessboard, the right approach is pry Russia.
03:27:59.000The American Revolution had great guys, great thinkers, great generals.
03:28:05.000Militia with fighting spirit and everything.
03:28:07.000But if they didn't have the French Navy coming in, if they didn't play a great power off of the imperial government, it wouldn't have happened.
03:28:18.000And this has been my thinking for a long time on this.
03:28:20.000People say, how is that America first?
03:28:22.000It's like, you don't know the history of America.
03:28:26.000And it's not to say like, hey, let's take Chinese money to like beat Republicans.
03:28:29.000I'm not saying that, but I'm saying like...
03:28:32.000Having other powers able to influence America, maybe not the worst thing.
03:28:38.000Because right now, another country is influencing America.
03:28:41.000It's not like that would be different.
03:28:43.000It's just that our country is controlled by Israel and Jews.
03:35:56.000I'm trying to watch a four-hour video about the Hundred Years War, and every five minutes, two-minute ad, and you've got to skip it twice.
03:36:05.000You've got to watch the clock, which the rate at which the clock expires is deceptively fast or slow.
03:36:11.000You have to be on top of it, watch it, and there's this narrow window where you could skip, and you skip it, and then it triggers another quick time event, and you've got to press it again.
03:37:24.000That'll make those assholes get up and get the remote on the coffee table and it'll be so fucking annoying they'll have to give us 18 bucks a month.
03:37:32.000That was literally the thought process.
03:41:02.000They strategically avoid third-rail commentary while serving as a filtering mechanism to prevent people from gravitating toward more extreme causes.
03:47:29.000It's dreadful and blackpilling and depressing.
03:47:34.000second post down on my ex-accounted amshiakin you may enjoy it is a gas chamber oh fuck off fresh garbage five cent ten dollars loneliness has followed me my whole life everywhere in cars and bars sidewalks stores everywhere there's no escape i'm god's lonely man that's such like a pick me incel quote but it's so true That's such like an incel pick-me, like, I'm the lonely guy, but it's so true.
03:47:56.000Like, yeah, I really am the taxi driver.
03:48:30.000If so, please organize a Groyper meetup Based Mood said $5 What are your thoughts on Steph winning All-Star MVP over Tatum When Tatum dropped more points for Team Shaq than Curry at NBA All-Star Weekend Dude, shut up Zigzag Groyper sent $10 Hey.
03:51:36.000But the older I get, everybody's bothering me, and I'm picking fights with everybody, and it's like, not to publicly doubt myself, but I'm like, damn.
03:51:45.000But at the same time, I'm right about everything, so I'm justified, but it's like, you know, maybe I just got to be diplomatic for the sake of the movement.
03:53:56.000So if you go and say, oh, I'll just take your price, then you're going to end up paying more.
03:54:03.000So I think it sort of depends on the custom.
03:54:07.000Other stuff that you buy, like a super expensive concert ticket or you go to Balenciaga and buy a pair of shoes, you've got to pay full price.
03:56:45.000I mean, what we would like is for H.R. 2 to be included in this upcoming budget bill, its immigration policy, and we'd like included in that is nationwide E-Verify.
03:56:58.000The problem is the interest will never go for that, and they always carve out these exceptions, like in Florida.
03:57:04.000In Florida, they did an executive order for E-Verify.
03:57:07.000Except they said that if you have a company with fewer than 25 employees, you are accepted from the executive order.
03:57:20.000So what do you think all these companies did?
03:57:22.000They used that loophole, and they started a bunch of corporations with fewer than 25, and they're all under a big corporation.
03:57:29.000They're all owned by the same person or whatever, but they do everything they can to get through the loophole, and now it's not effective.
03:57:38.000So, yeah, I mean, I think that's a real possibility, but that's just not even something they're talking about.
03:57:46.000They won't even say E-Verify because they know they'll never get it.
03:57:49.000Like Vance would say, we'll make it harder for them to employ, but he wouldn't say E-Verify because if he said E-Verify, he'd be expected to make good on that and he knows they're not going to get it.
03:57:59.000So they just make this vague promise, we're just going to make it harder for them to employ.
03:58:03.000Okay, well, it's also super profitable to employ illegals, so if the firms can do it, they will.
03:58:09.000If they can get away with it, they will. - Perseus sent $5.
03:58:12.000Regardless of what kind of admin we get, it best we will get half measures.
03:59:46.000Yeah, I vaguely remember it because that was the major city in Joe Kent's district when he was running, but I don't know anything about it other than that.
04:05:36.000He who uses a palantir may look into the future and see what is to come, but he may also be deceived by the will of Sauron, for the dark Lord can manipulate what is seen.
04:05:49.000Is Trump being compromised by Doge behavior, especially Doge security breaches via big balls, leading to a real impeachment in J.D. Vance presidency if he ever decides to put Israel second?
04:10:03.000world and I don't even like Israel they are just playing the game better than our leaders lol yeah anti-semitic at $10 the monologue you have regarding a multi-ethnic country with mono ethnic communities it could work but it cannot be democracy we need Rhodesia 2.0 It should be like Rhodesia!
04:13:14.000You see, if a 26-year-old live streamer without a security clearance had a better idea of when China would invade than, like, the NSA or, like, the Department of Defense.
04:13:27.000You know, I think China would be in real trouble, actually.
04:15:54.000Anybody that has any notoriety asks themselves that because you do – the only reason people become famous is because they want to be famous, because they're really into themselves.
04:16:04.000They want to assert themselves and impress themselves upon the world and exert and everything like that.
04:16:13.000But then you do, and it becomes such a – Practical encumbrance.
