00:00:06.000There must be a real great reset in the Republican Party!
00:00:15.000And that real great reset should take the donors and take the global special interests out of the GOP, and in its place should be us, the American people!
00:00:29.000The new Republican Party must be America first!
00:00:35.000America First means finally an end to these Middle Eastern wars that do not benefit us.
00:00:44.000America First means an end to this mass immigration, this invasion of our country by foreigners.
00:00:55.000As President Trump said in his inaugural address, from this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
00:04:05.000All of the billionaires and the top politicians in the world get together and they plan out our lives.
00:04:11.000And you have to ask yourself, who are they really serving?
00:04:14.000It is about the forces of evil versus the people of Jesus Christ.
00:04:21.000And if there's anything that the globalist establishment has to fear, it is Christian patriotic young men!
00:04:32.000They can't live in their gated communities.
00:04:35.000They can't live at the top of their high-rise luxury apartments without us!
00:04:42.000And if they continue to take away our rights and destroy our way of life, then we will shut the country down!
00:04:54.000It is us, the nationalists, people that are authentically and truly opposed to the globalist world order that are the ones doing any kind of resisting.
00:05:03.000It is now a new chapter in American history.
00:05:06.000I think everybody's starting to see that we are actually the real resistance, truly.
00:21:53.000This little boy, Cash Gernon, was murdered, dragged out of his bed, in the middle of the night, in his home, and murdered outside his house in the street by a black man because he was white.
00:22:07.000That black guy killed a white boy because he was white.
00:22:10.000And this black guy hated white people.
00:23:31.000They perpetrated the Holocaust against Jews.
00:23:34.000And that was, by far and away, the most obscene, worst genocide ever in the history of the world.
00:23:39.000And then, when all was said and done, white people were racist to the Muslims that blew up the World Trade Center.
00:23:46.000White people are racist to black criminals and the police.
00:23:50.000Basically, people are bred from cradle until grave thinking that white people are uniquely evil people.
00:23:57.000White people bear a special guilt for all the problems of this country, all the problems of every other group, and really, like, all the problems of humanity.
00:24:08.000And that's a guilt that is ancestral, it's not individual, everyone has it, and you can never overcome it.
00:24:15.000There's no clear way, discernibly, that you can ever overcome it and ever achieve equality with these non-white people.
00:24:25.000And it's as a consequence of this that these things are becoming more and more common.
00:24:33.000And when white people are dehumanized, black people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human.
00:24:42.000And other people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human.
00:24:46.000How much do you want to bet that this, uh, whatever his name is, Darren Brown, whatever, was radicalized by the media into thinking that white people are racist and responsible for his suffering, not just as a black man, but as a gay man too.
00:25:03.000And that he committed this crime in retaliation for that perceived prejudice, perceived hatred against him.
00:25:10.000That's the consequence of all this anti-white hatred and dehumanization in the media, education system, and it's even enshrined in the law systematically through the government.
00:25:20.000I mean, what do you think affirmative action is?
00:25:23.000And a lot of white people don't want to talk about it now.
00:25:27.000They want to pretend that that's not the case because
00:25:31.000Honestly, I think a lot of white people think that it's beneath them.
00:25:34.000I think that white people think that it's our job to be better, to strive towards a post-racial society, that we ought not to notice race, and we should try not to notice race, that it's a good thing to aspire to, to not notice race.
00:25:49.000I think that white people are under the impression that to be cognizant of race, and to mention it and act like it matters, is beneath us, like it's backwards, it's regressive, it's primitive.
00:26:03.000And a big part of that, too, is because white people have, I think, internalized a lot of what the media says about us, which is that, well, we're on top of the world, so what do we really have to complain about?
00:26:28.000And in a lot of ways, it already isn't a white country anymore.
00:26:31.000And as the percentage and proportion of white people diminishes in America relative to non-white people, it's going to become more and more of a problem for white people that non-white people don't like us.
00:27:08.000People are very comfortable talking about racism against blacks or other non-whites, but nobody talks about the distrust, nobody talks about the resentment that non-white people have for white people in the country.
00:27:20.000And it's not everybody, but it is a lot of people, and everyone knows that.
00:27:25.000As the population becomes less and less white, and as the people in charge of the country, and the people enforcing the laws of the people of the country, in charge of the country, become less and less white, that's going to matter a lot more.
00:28:07.000How is it that everything is so good, but yet everybody wants to die?
00:28:14.000Everything is so great, or we're supposed to believe.
00:28:17.000Everything is flashy, bright colors, and stimulating, energetic music, and all of this, and parties, and you name it.
00:28:27.000Wealth, riches, opportunity, and recreation, but yet everybody is literally killing themselves, directly or indirectly.
00:28:39.000And we really are just a collection of atoms,
00:28:43.000If we're all just carbon walking around, you know what you are?
00:29:20.000All the material wealth, all the diversions and distractions, recreation, everything I've just described cannot fill the hole in the heart of man that has been left by God.
00:29:33.000Communion with a Heavenly Father, and an explanation for it all.
00:29:39.000An explanation for why we're here, what we're doing here, where we're going.
00:29:45.000All of that taken together, and the biggest excesses of all of it, does not even come close to justifying mankind's existence in his heart of hearts.
00:29:58.000And that is why people are killing themselves.
00:30:18.000The people who run our federal government, they hate you.
00:43:31.000Forty billion dollars sent from the United States to Ukraine.
00:43:37.000Which, if you recall, that's actually seven billion dollars more than what we reported, I think, last week or the week before.
00:43:45.000Which brings the total to nearly $60 billion in American military aid to Ukraine since the war has started.
00:43:55.000And it's pretty interesting because, you know, we're talking about both of these things on the same night at the same time that inflation is 8% and unemployment
00:44:04.000Officially, the numbers are much lower than what it actually is.
00:44:08.000It's really 25% if you consider the workforce participation rate.
00:44:13.000At the same time that you've got stagflation, shrinkflation, you've got record high unemployment, worker shortages, we're also sending $40 billion to another country to fight a war that they can't possibly win.
00:44:29.000So the two things are kind of related, but we'll get into all that.
00:49:11.000And calculated that if you add up all the aid up until this point you're hitting 47 close to 50 billion dollars in aid to Ukraine since this whole thing started.
00:49:23.000Which is crazy because 50 billion dollars is a lot of money.
00:49:28.000It may not sound like it because our government spends trillions and especially in the past two years since the pandemic our government's been spending trillions.
00:49:54.000Trump's border wall, if he got everything he wanted back in 2018 when he released the blueprint for it and the budget proposal for it, it would have cost $17 billion to build the wall and about $22 billion to fund the wall plus additional border security, ICE agents, that kind of thing.
00:50:15.000So we have sent, with the 33 billion that the Biden admin requested a couple weeks ago, we would have been at 50 cumulatively, which is, if you do the math, then more than twice as much as a permanent border wall and border security would have cost.
00:50:31.000And then I also compared it to the COVID stimulus.
00:50:35.000The COVID stimulus, the second round of it back in 2020 amounted to something like $3 trillion.
00:50:41.000But the $1,000 cash payments to all Americans, that portion of it only cost $250 billion.
00:50:47.000So you could send $200 to every American that received $1,000 from the first COVID stimulus with $50 billion.
00:51:01.000Instead of sending $50 billion to Ukraine, the government could have given $200 to every American earning between, what was it, $15,000 and $100,000 or something like that.
00:51:15.000I forget what the exact qualifications were.
00:51:18.000And that's not to say, by the way, that $200 makes a crazy difference, but it is to give you an idea of the scale.
00:51:24.000The government paid $200 to tens of millions of people, I think more than 100 million people.
00:51:30.000That's how far that kind of money can go.
00:51:34.000So Biden requested $33 billion a couple weeks ago.
00:51:37.000Now, the Congress passed $40 billion in aid, which brings the total to more than $50 billion.
00:51:47.000That says, quote, the Democratic-led House of Representatives voted 368 to 57, so almost nobody voted against this, on Tuesday evening to pass a roughly $40 billion bill to deliver aid to Ukraine as it continues to face Russia's brutal assault.
00:52:05.000All 57 votes in opposition were from Republicans, which is interesting.
00:52:10.000Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said earlier in the day on Tuesday that after the House approved the package, the Senate will move swiftly to get the measure passed and sent to Biden's desk.
00:52:21.000Aid to Ukraine has been a rare bright spot of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill, with Democrats and Republicans largely rallying around a call to help the nation as it faces Russia's attack.
00:52:33.000Lawmakers unveiled bill taxed earlier in the day ahead of the House vote.
00:52:37.000The legislation the House approved provides funding for a long list of priorities including military and humanitarian assistance.
00:52:44.000The bill includes an increase in presidential drawdown authority funding from the $5 billion in the Biden administration originally requested to $11 billion.
00:52:53.000Presidential Drawdown Authority funding allows the administration to send military equipment and weapons from U.S.
00:53:00.000This has been one of the main ways the administration has provided Ukrainians with military equipment quickly over the past 75 days over the conflict in Ukraine.
00:53:08.000In the Ukraine aid supplemental that was signed into law in mid-March, $3 billion in this kind of funding was included.
00:53:15.000The Biden admin has been using that funding to provide military assistance to Ukraine in a series of Presidential Drawdown Authority packages.
00:53:23.000The bill also provides $6 billion in Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funding, and the details really aren't important.
00:53:32.000The figure that matters is $40 billion, and that's in addition to the $16 billion earlier this year, and the $150 million earlier, and the $3 billion before that.
00:53:44.000We're talking about close to $60 billion in foreign aid to Ukraine.
00:53:51.000And this was passed in an emergency fashion, bipartisan, because if this did not get passed, Ukraine would have ran out of money, like this week.
00:54:16.000It said that Russia was going to declare either an end to the war on, I think, May 9th or May 7th or something, or they were going to either formally declare war or finish the war.
00:55:03.000I think one of the big takeaways here, which is interesting, is that it's only Republicans, and these specific types of Republicans, which are voting against foreign aid to Ukraine.
00:55:16.000I know I've said this on the show before, but I just don't understand the cognitive dissonance that 20 years ago, Democrats were against American empire, against American wars.
00:55:27.00050 years ago, 20 years ago, since Vietnam,
00:55:32.000Democrats were supposed to be against American Empire, against proxy wars, against nuclear war.
00:55:40.000Now it seems like Democrats are literally the party of nuclear war.
00:55:44.000They're the party of double down and never back down, and war against autocracy, and this arms race with missiles, and you name it.
00:55:56.000And it's actually just a small contingent of Republicans that are going against that.
00:56:01.000And that's even a little bit disappointing.
00:56:04.000It's interesting that they flipped, that the sort of anti-war faction, which was small in the Democratic Party, honestly, at one point, it flipped from the left to the right, and now you've got a small anti-war faction on the right.
00:56:18.000But they're all, generally speaking, still for it.
00:56:21.000Most Republicans, and of course all the Democrats, literally every single Democrat is still for it.
00:57:35.000If you're talking about public policy, two, maybe three things.
00:57:40.000We know that Trump broke from the establishment in 2015 and ran against, as we know, not just Clinton, but really ran against the entire party, which had coalesced against him.
00:57:52.000And the main breaks from the GOP were what caused this sort of revolutionary phenomenon, this revolutionary, different, unprecedented historical movement.
00:58:01.000It was three, at least two, maybe three things.
00:58:04.000And that was immigration, obviously, and foreign policy.
00:58:10.000Those were the, and you could say trade was maybe a third one, and that was mentioned in the Post.
00:58:16.000But those were really the three, two or three core things.
00:58:19.000Really though, immigration and foreign policy, I think would be the two biggest ones.
00:58:26.000And I remember when Trump ran for office, he wanted the rapprochement with Russia, specifically.
00:58:34.000He also said the Iraq War was a mistake, which is something that Republicans hadn't said.
00:58:39.000And even attack Clinton and Obama for wanting to continue all of that.
00:58:46.000Well, fast forward six years after the Trump Revolution when there was actually an anti-war president.
00:58:52.000Believe it or not, despite what some have said, he put John Bolton in the cabinet and the Pentagon did a lot of shady things, but we did, in fact, have an anti-war president.
00:59:05.000And as president, he is the effective and the de facto leader of the party.
00:59:10.000I don't know if you know that, but the sitting president is, in an official, formal capacity, the leader of the Republican Party.
00:59:17.000Or any party, if they are the president.
00:59:19.000So you have the leader of a major party, obviously, and the president of the United States, anti-war.
01:01:13.000He was a never-Trumper, liberal, token black, GOP apparatchik.
01:01:19.000And he was against Trump in the election.
01:01:22.000Then Trump gets in office, the White House is taken over by rhinos, and now every weekend that guy's in Trump Hotel with a MAGA hat on saying that Trumpism is really about low taxes and all that kind of stuff.
01:01:34.000And for a couple years now, and I've spoken on this on the show for a long time, it's almost like the MAGA movement itself is
01:01:43.000Trump is not carrying on the legacy of Trump.
01:01:46.000I know it's not a hot take, but telling us specifically, Trump disagrees with you.
01:02:14.000The World Trade Center fell under your brother.
01:02:16.000And now, he says Trumpism is about having a big military, and nothing about non-intervention, nothing about being America first in foreign policy.
01:02:27.000That is why what we're doing is so essential.
01:02:30.000And where you do see the holdouts, where you see those Republicans voting against the House package, and even the Republicans that are breaking away from the bipartisan consensus on the conflict in Ukraine, where you even see any Republicans going against this is those that profess the real America First platform, the real America First foreign policy in this case.
01:02:58.000I know I go further than anybody on this, which I'm proud of.
01:03:32.000I think that's only going to bring death and destruction and misery.
01:03:36.000And if you look at the real effect of it, liberalism to the rest of the world, which I do not want.
01:03:41.000I'm proud of the fact that I'm more extreme on that than anybody.
01:03:44.000But even where you see people, at the minimum, breaking from the consensus, it's coming from the America First congressmen.
01:03:51.000It's coming from people like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
01:03:54.000It's coming from people like Paul Gosar.
01:03:56.000It's coming from Matt Gaetz, Madison Cawthorn.
01:04:01.000It's coming from those congressmen, or congresswomen.
01:04:05.000And God bless them, because they're the only ones standing up to it.
01:04:10.000And that's the thing, the pro-war momentum in Washington DC, that's one of the most powerful, as you know, for 60 years, 60 years plus, that's been one of the most powerful factions or forces in American politics, is the pro-war lobby.
01:04:26.000The National Security Council, the Military-Industrial Complex, the Pentagon, the DoD, even these think tanks like the Brookings Institute and the Atlantic Council, NATO itself obviously, and the leadership over there in Europe,
01:04:41.000It's been one of the most pernicious and influential lobbies in America.
01:04:46.000That is why we have to foster a true America First wing of the Republican Party.
01:04:52.000It all will have been for naught, Trump running and winning, anti-war and so on, if we're just going to throw it away now in this proxy war with Ukraine and sort of claw and allow the neocons to claw back a pro-war, pro-empire consensus.
01:05:21.000It's not great optics that you've got 17% real inflation and we're sending 50 billion, 60 billion dollars to Ukraine.
01:05:30.000I think that's kind of an obvious take.
01:05:33.000And it's more just like an attack on maybe something like hypocrisy.
01:05:37.000But I want to get to the values of it.
01:05:39.000What this really shows, if you're looking at the sort of longer arc of American politics, is that there was an anti-war movement in America, which had someone in the White House, we had an anti-war president, now we have a pro-war president.
01:05:54.000We did have a large grassroots populist anti-war movement led by Donald Trump.
01:06:01.000Now, it almost seems like Donald Trump and the rest of the GOP are sort of redirecting that movement back towards war.
01:06:10.000And the Republican electorate, the Republican constituency, they too seem to be supportive of all of this intervention in Ukraine, whether it be direct or indirect.
01:06:27.000Because we've got a lot of problems internally in America, but I've already laid out for you the crisis that we're talking about in this century.
01:06:54.000That's what absolute means, in case you don't know what I mean by that.
01:06:57.000But they are declining in relative terms, meaning that if you take a percentage of global firepower of every country, well, China is rising at a faster rate than America.
01:07:09.000And so the relative power of America, the power of America relative to the power of all the other countries is going down.
01:07:16.000So that's the crisis of this century, and that's something that just cannot be stopped.
01:07:20.000Because China is a developing country, and we are a developed country, because China is in a sense catching up over 500 years, and there's a lot of factors for this, Russia is recovering from the dismemberment of the Soviet Union, and on and on.
01:07:35.000This is something which is inevitable.
01:07:37.000It's not to say America is failing, it's just to say that the global balance of power is going to change.
01:08:12.000They recovered from the 10 years of liberalization and vulture capitalism.
01:08:18.000And under a new autocrat who's consolidated power now,
01:08:24.000Not as powerful as they were 50 years ago, but they're more powerful than they were 30 years ago.
01:08:28.000These are trends which really cannot be compensated for by marginally better governance in America.
01:08:35.000So, the relative American decline is baked in.
01:08:39.000And with that comes a receding American periphery.
01:08:42.000And that is a very dangerous prospect.
01:08:45.000Because you can see in Ukraine, we're talking about using nukes.
01:08:50.000And it's kind of common sense, but like the higher the frequency of conversations about war with Russia and nuclear war and tactical nukes being used on the European continent, probably the less safe the world is.
01:09:03.000And if you think it's bad now, I mean this Ukrainian thing has forever changed the world.
01:09:07.000It's a world historical moment, one of the most significant things to happen this century.
01:09:12.000Just wait until that showdown with China over Taiwan, which will be extremely similar.
01:09:34.000There were a lot of respects in which he was important.
01:09:36.000But at least one of the respects in which he was very important is because he was bringing a de-escalatory pressure to this very dangerous situation.
01:09:46.000That is one among many reasons why he was so miraculous and important.
01:09:52.000Because if we're going to have 10 to 20 more years of Bidens and of the kinds of people running the Pentagon and DoD now without any kind of accountability, without any civilian leadership reining them in, it is all but certain just based on probability that we will see a great power conflict in this century and it's going to be devastating.
01:10:49.000And some have suggested that America continues to supply Ukraine with these materials because they just want to make it more costly for Russia.
01:11:00.000But again, that is colored with a very particular kind of imperial mindset.
01:11:11.000We should be trying to use countries like Russia or India
01:11:18.000To counter the rise in China, like that would be a more sensible, even if you were a little bit more of a realist as opposed to like a non-interventionist, that would be the more sensible approach.
01:11:29.000Marjorie Taylor Greene had a great tweet about this today.
01:11:32.000She talked about how the Biden administration is pushing India away and alienating them.
01:11:37.000India is not participating in our sanctions against Russia.
01:11:40.000We should be inviting them in because India on the continent with China, this is a country of a billion English speakers, like she said, and, you know, closer in alignment with our values and historically have a better relationship with them.
01:11:57.000And of course, India is one way to check Chinese power.
01:12:01.000That's going to be diplomacy for the next 100 years, is India and China and Russia, America and continental Europe, specifically looking at Asia, looking at the Eurasian continent.
01:12:15.000For us to be doing these kinds of things, it's not sensible and there's only this, like I said, this very small contingent, which seems to no longer even include Trump anymore, who is still carrying on the anti-war
01:12:27.000Legacy that part of the Trump revolution from 16.
01:12:30.000That's that's why it's so important that we're out here that you know People say why do you support Russia?
01:12:35.000This is why because if there's not me Pulling everyone here if there's not this America first faction in Congress if there's not people speaking out about it on Twitter You know a Tucker Carlson on his show who has been incredibly courageous about this and he I think he has been more What would the word be?
01:12:53.000If I'm the most heterodox on this, he's probably right there as much as he can be on Fox News.
01:13:02.000And obviously with a much bigger platform, so God bless him.
01:13:06.000But this is the conversation that needs to happen.
01:13:09.000In 2024, what is going to be the color of the Trump Revolution?
01:13:14.000Is it going to be this Peter Thiel network?
01:13:17.000Is it going to be industrial policy and multiracial working class populism?
01:13:25.000MAGA grifters and these sort of this cadre of deadbeats used to hang out at Trump Hotel.
01:13:31.000Some of them I like, but some of them are totally corrupt.
01:13:34.000Or is it going to be the true America First faction, which is Christ is King and America First, and talks about immigration moratorium, an end to this sort of pro-war military-industrial complex guided foreign policy,
01:14:14.000That is the big mission, that's the big fight of the next two years, is we need the true America First coalition.
01:14:22.000If Trump runs, we need that true America First coalition to be the one that defines his next candidacy and his, hopefully, next administration.
01:14:32.000That's the big picture over the next six years.
01:17:00.000When Donald Trump ran, what I'm trying to say is when Donald Trump ran, he articulated a real solid alternative and really attacked the core of the pro-war worldview.
01:17:13.000He didn't say, we're fighting the war in Iraq while things are going on.
01:17:16.000He said the war in Iraq was a mistake.
01:17:19.000We've been in there 20 years and we haven't gotten anything.
01:17:24.000It cost six trillion dollars and we don't have it.
01:17:28.000That's different than saying, uh, let's talk about, and it's not, I'm not trying to mock people that say that, like I said, I think it's effective rhetoric.
01:17:35.000But we've got to have somebody articulate a real anti-war alternative, a real America-first foreign policy.
01:17:43.000I'm sorry, but saying like, uh, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else, that's, that's not actually like a real America-first foreign policy.
01:17:50.000And I miss that about Trump, because that's what Trump did.
01:17:54.000And now Trump doesn't even talk about that.
01:17:55.000And now, you know, I'm not even hearing that from really... I'm hearing it from Tucker.
01:18:00.000I'm hearing it from Marjorie Taylor Greene.
01:18:02.000Like I said, I'm hearing it from these kinds of people.
01:18:17.000But God bless Tucker and the America First people for saying, in some sense, as much as they can, or saying something a little bit different.
01:18:24.000But I really liked the sort of forceful Trump messaging where he said, the war in Iraq was a mistake.
01:18:31.000Similarly, I want to hear somebody say, proxy war against Russia is a mistake.
01:19:12.000This is a testament to just how much maybe people took for granted what the significance of the Trump revolution was and how much the consequences of it have been degraded over time.
01:19:24.000And that's how much work we need to do.
01:19:25.000We need Trump to once again be the anti-war leader.
01:19:28.000We need Trump as a leader of the GOP to be an anti-war, not necessarily anti-war, but America first on foreign policy.
01:19:36.000We need him to once again articulate that America first idea.
01:19:42.000In contradistinction to the bipartisan consensus that he did in 2016.
01:19:47.000And we need him to do that in 2024 if he runs.
01:19:49.000Because otherwise, it's not going to go well.
01:22:26.000And I'm a little bit maybe more like libertarian on this, I guess, because I used to be a libertarian, so I have maybe like somewhat of a libertarian streak on this.
01:22:37.000But we're in a system which is just not sustainable.
01:22:40.000And because of that, what I'm trying to get at here, I'm not going to explain the full complexities of the system, but we may do a deep dive on that on a show in the future, but the point is this.
01:22:53.000They have been rewiring and changing how they even calculate these numbers because of this.
01:23:00.000A big reason why people perceive the system to be sustainable or working or something is because the numbers that they use when they talk about inflation or unemployment or any of this stuff just keep changing over time.
01:23:15.000And so while the situation has been getting worse and worse, they keep changing how they quantify all of this and how they analyze all of this so that it doesn't look like it's getting as bad as it is.
01:23:26.000And so the big story tonight is that real inflation, or rather the official inflation number that the government puts out is 8.3%.
01:23:37.000Which even according to the government numbers is very high.
01:23:46.000And what they say is really, really bad.
01:23:50.000What it actually is, and think about it like this, they say inflation today is 8.3%.
01:23:58.000They say that's higher than it's ever been in 40 years, which implies that 40 years ago inflation was 8.3% or more.
01:24:07.000But in the 1980s, when the reported inflation was 8.3%, they calculated inflation in a different way.
01:24:18.000So to say inflation is 8.3% today and it was 8.3% in the 80s, it's apples and oranges, because how they got that figure in the 80s is different than how they got that figure in 2022.
01:24:28.000If you use, and I looked up, there's a website, it's called, I think, Shadow Government Statistics.
01:24:35.000If you use the same metric that they used to measure inflation in the 80s when they got that 8% number 40 years ago, to measure today's inflation, our inflation is actually 17%.
01:24:47.000So it's actually twice as high as it was 40 years ago.
01:24:53.000Even though the recorded inflation, even though the measured inflation is the same reported number as it was 40 years ago, well they changed how they reached that number.
01:25:05.000So it's a 40-year high with all this sort of trickery that's being used, this statistical trickery.
01:25:12.000But if you're using the same standard, that's how you have to measure, that's how you compare two things.
01:25:39.000You know, I know a lot of the people watching this are young and don't understand, but inflation is more destructive than any other force in the economy.
01:25:49.000I was, like I said, I was a libertarian in high school, and the soundness of money is something that libertarians focus a lot on.
01:25:55.000It's something, actually, that maybe nationalists are not too good on.
01:25:59.000Libertarians are very good on this stuff.
01:26:01.000The soundness of the money is maybe one of the most critical things, maybe just shy of demography.
01:26:08.000I know we always say demographics is destiny, and I think demographics is more important than money, but money is maybe like right up there.
01:26:15.000If demographics is number one, money is like number three.
01:26:51.000Hitler came about because of a monetary crisis.
01:26:53.000Governments have fallen, societies have collapsed because of monetary crises.
01:26:59.000And that's what we're in right now, is a monetary crisis.
01:27:02.000And I was going to get into, so the soundness of the money is important.
01:27:05.000And for the younger viewers watching, we just got our new numbers from SimilarWeb.
01:27:11.000I guess like 30% of the people that watch the show are like under the age of 25.
01:27:18.000What inflation in effect does is steals the value of your money.
01:27:21.000You have, and I know I'm being a little remedial here, but some people need this.
01:27:26.000You know, if I have so much money in the bank and inflation is 17%, that means that it's almost like I lost 17% of my money in a given year.
01:27:36.000If I have $100 today and inflation is 17% over the next year,
01:27:42.000That means that the buying power of the dollar has gone down 17%.
01:27:46.000That means that even though I'll still have that $100 in the bank a year from now, it will buy 17% less.
01:27:52.000Meaning that I effectively have $83 in real terms.
01:28:34.000I mean, normally you invest, you take your capital, you take your cash, and you convert it into something that will retain its value when the dollar does not.
01:28:53.000And so there's almost really like nothing you can do.
01:28:55.000Even if you were to invest in the stock market, let's say over 5 years you invest in the S&P 500, on average, the S&P 500 has an annualized average return of about, what is it, 7 or 8%.
01:29:08.000And the longer it is, the higher that annualized average goes up.
01:29:12.000So if I put my $100, instead of just leaving it in the bank and inflation eats away at the value of that cash, if I take that cash and put it in an S&P 500 index fund,
01:29:23.000The annualized rate of return on average for a year over the course of 5 or 7 or 10 years is something like 7-8%.
01:29:32.000It can get higher the longer the time frame is.
01:29:35.000So you're gaining over 5 years an average of 7% return year over year.
01:29:41.000And then it's compounded of course if you're reinvesting that.
01:29:46.000And so if inflation is 8 or 17 percent, whatever the number is, that means that even if you put it in like a, you know, putting it in an index fund, that's a relatively conservative investment, but it's still stocks.
01:29:58.000Even if you're putting it in something like that, which is reliable and investing for dummies, you're still going to lose money.
01:30:03.000So there's, when inflation is that high, there's almost nothing you could do to protect the value of your money.
01:30:09.000There's almost nothing you could do to protect your wealth.
01:30:12.000You put some say in gold and silver, some say in Bitcoin.
01:30:32.000In 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic happened and they shut everything down, the government printed a lot of money and they started giving it away.
01:30:41.000And they started giving it away to people and businesses.
01:30:44.000And in a sense, they were financing the economy in 2020.
01:30:48.000They were propping up the economy in 2020 by borrowing from the future.
01:30:55.000And so what they do is they print all this money, the money goes out there, and people are able to still buy and sell things.
01:31:03.000All the businesses are shut down, all the trade is shut down, so everyone is still buying things and prices aren't really going up.
01:31:11.000You know, the money supply's been increased, but this hasn't really been felt yet.
01:31:17.000So people are still buying, even though things aren't really being made anymore.
01:31:21.000And then of course as time goes on, now we're starting to see these big time shortages and other disruptions and it turns out it's not quite as simple as just reopening the economy.
01:31:35.000And so now as the economy picks back up again, now we're feeling the effects of doubling the money supply in 2020 to keep the economy afloat.
01:31:48.000And as a consequence of doubling the money supply, now the money is worth a lot less.
01:32:26.000That credit binge that we went on for the past 16 years, and in particular the kind of inflationary activities over the past two years, now we're going to be paying for it for the next, like, 20 years.
01:33:47.000Your utilities, energy, gas, car payment, all of it.
01:33:53.000And this is the article that goes into this a little bit.
01:33:56.000It says, quote, inflation cooled on an annual basis for the first time in months, but rose more than expected as supply chain constraints, the Russian war, and strong consumer demand continue to keep consumer prices running near a 40-year high.
01:34:09.000The Labor Department said Wednesday that the Consumer Price Index, a broad measure of the price for everyday goods, including gasoline, groceries, rent, rose 8.3% in April from a year ago, below the 8.5% year-over-year surge recorded in March.
01:34:26.000Prices jumped 0.3% in the one-month period from March.
01:34:30.000Those figures were both higher than the 8.1% headline figure and 0.2% monthly gain forecast by Refinitiv economists.
01:34:39.000So-called core prices, which exclude more volatile measurements of food and energy, climbed 6.2% in April from the previous year.
01:34:47.000The slight slowdown in inflation last month came as energy prices declined 2.7%, driven by a 6% drop in gasoline.
01:34:54.000Still, price increases are widespread.
01:34:56.000Food prices have jumped 1% over the month, marking the 17th consecutive monthly increase for that index.
01:35:02.000The largest monthly increases were in dairy, meat, poultry, fish, and eggs.
01:35:08.000Shelter, which accounts for about one-third of the CPI, also rose by 0.5%.
01:35:13.000The gauges climbed 5.1% on a yearly basis, the fastest gain since 1991.
01:35:19.000Airline fares also surged as more people began to travel.
01:35:22.000Prices soared 18.6% in the one-month period and are up 33% over the past year.
01:35:28.000That is the steepest one-month increase since the inception of the report in 1963.
01:35:34.000Rising inflation is eating away at the strong wage gains that American workers have seen in recent months.
01:35:39.000Real average hourly earnings decreased 0.1% in March from the previous month as the inflation increase eroded the 0.3% total wage gain, according to the Label Department.
01:35:49.000On an annual basis, real earnings actually dropped 2.6% in April.
01:35:55.000So, we're two years into the pandemic.
01:35:58.000One year into the Biden administration.
01:39:26.000I'm saying a real change in management.
01:39:29.000I'm saying a real change in leadership and a real change in direction.
01:39:32.000It never happens when things are going really well.
01:39:34.000In fact, it doesn't happen when things are even going okay or fine.
01:39:38.000It happens when things are going badly.
01:39:41.000Because, of course, it's all about a cost-benefit analysis.
01:39:45.000When people live acceptable lives, the cost for going against the society that provides the benefits of living in a society is too high.
01:39:56.000Most people for the past 60 years are able to live in temperature... I keep coming back to temperature because I'm sweating my ass off.
01:40:04.000That's got nothing to do with any of this, by the way.
01:40:06.000I can't blame the White House for the AC being broken, but
01:40:11.000When people live in air-conditioned places, climate-controlled rooms, and when they eat whatever they want cheaply, and when they get their cheap gas, and when they are not getting shot and stabbed and held up, and when the traffic's not bad because the shooting's on the highway, and when everything's going well,
01:40:31.000And everyone can have as much as they want or need, reasonably.
01:40:34.000And everyone's able to live a pretty nice life.
01:40:38.000The cost of going against society and losing all of that is just too high.
01:40:42.000The society, which is governed by the sovereign, the government, is providing benefits to them which they don't really want to give up.
01:40:49.000And that is what is entailed by going against the regime.
01:40:53.000The regime is the sovereign, the sovereign governs the society, the society provides benefits to people, and the benefits are pretty damn good.
01:40:59.000The benefits, even though you might take them for granted and not see them every day, they're pretty good.
01:41:04.000America's pretty good, by and large, and has been for a long time.
01:41:07.000But that's not going to be the case forever.
01:41:10.000And in fact, it's not going to be the case a year or two from now.
01:41:14.000And when that happens, this cost-benefit analysis changes.
01:41:18.000And suddenly, when people aren't getting the benefits from society that they took for granted, when suddenly there's a rolling brownout,
01:41:26.000And they lose electricity for a few days.
01:41:28.000And suddenly when it becomes a lot more expensive to fill up their car.
01:41:31.000And suddenly when there's a lot more traffic because people are getting shot on the highway.
01:41:34.000And suddenly when their kid gets killed by a black.
01:41:37.000Suddenly when illegal immigrants pour into their neighborhood and set up a tent village and they smell like shit and there's crime and all the associated problems that go with that.
01:43:15.000What is bad for the system is good for us.
01:43:18.000What is bad for the system is good for us.
01:43:21.000NATO and America being humiliated and defeated in Ukraine is bad for them and good for us.
01:43:27.000An unprecedented refugee crisis in Europe, which is going to cause all kinds of ethnic strife and conflict and lead to a surge in rising populism, bad for the system, good for us.
01:43:41.000When black crime in the city of Chicago or elsewhere surges, when cops walk off and the cities aren't safe, bad for the system, good for us.
01:43:51.000Now it's not to say that I'm cheerleading decline.
01:43:54.000I wish this stuff wasn't happening, but it is happening because the regime is pushing policies and a worldview which creates calamity.
01:44:04.000And insofar as they are in control of these institutions and people are too comfortable to upset that, these calamities are going to be a necessary part of the process of reversing the policies that created these things.
01:44:43.000And then they sabotaged him, and they backstabbed him, and they infiltrated his White House.
01:44:50.000They disobeyed his orders, and then they impeached him, and then they stole the election, and they threw him out of office, and they put in place a mental retard.
01:45:02.000We tried to speak out about it, and then they banned us from everything.
01:45:05.000We tried to build our alternatives, then they froze our bank accounts or prevented us from processing credit cards to make it a profitable business.
01:45:15.000They are in control of all the institutions and it is such an asymmetry in power that there's really nothing we can do to compete.
01:45:23.000And so they will persist with a fundamentally flawed and unsustainable world which will create hardship and strife and calamity until such a calamity happens that defections will begin
01:45:38.000Citizen defections and regime defections will begin and finally there will be a course correction.
01:46:36.000Because I do believe that we do need to try and build a parallel society that will be ready when something happens, but I think that inevitably there will be calamity.
01:47:21.000Things could be so flipped upside down on their head that some radical change in direction can occur.
01:47:27.000That's always when America First is inevitable as men.
01:47:30.000As things get worse, people look to alternatives, and the people on the fringes become, obviously, the choice to run things.
01:47:40.000And when that intersection happens at some point in the future, we're using abstract points, things were good then, they will be worse later, and they will be worse after that.
01:47:52.000When things are really good, people are not really so open to things that are abrasive and offensive and heterodox.
01:47:59.000When things are as worse as they can be, people will be very willing to embrace alternatives.
01:48:04.000Because if the system is mainstream and the mainstream is failing, they'll look to the alternative.
01:48:57.000I wish we could all live great, happy, healthy lives forever.
01:48:59.000But that's why I have been doing a show for five years, getting punished by the government and the banks and having personal problems and so on.
01:49:06.000Five years ago, I said, I see the writing on the wall, we're headed for collapse, we're headed for calamity, and that's why I started this crazy internet show to tell people what's up.
01:49:19.000Because I knew it was going to be bad, it is bad, and we want things to be better.
01:49:24.000But it may have to get worse before it gets better.
01:49:26.000Hopefully not too bad, I don't want it to get bad, I wish it never did, but...
01:49:35.000The money, the fiscal policy, the global government, the NATO military-industrial complex...
01:49:44.000The progressive takeover of the social and entertainment institutions, the corruption, the foreign interest lobbies, it was always going to happen.
01:50:00.000But anybody that's been looking at any of this stuff for any amount of time over the past 20 years, 30 years,
01:50:07.000Whether it be Alex Jones, or me, or Tucker, or Trump, or anybody, they've all seen where this is headed, and it's nowhere good.
01:50:16.000And we tried to change it, and the change seems to be being resisted on a level that, logistically, we just can't compete with at this moment.
01:50:25.000But that's why a total change in the dynamic will be required in the future to change those odds, and to change that calculus in the minds of the citizenry, in the minds of the people.
01:51:28.000And I think that's why there are a lot of liberals because liberalism appeals to our
01:51:33.000It's wrong, but a certain idealism, a disordered sort of idealism.
01:51:39.000Liberalism appeals to our empathy and liberalism appeals to our emotions, obviously, and our sense of fairness and universalism and justice.
01:51:51.000Liberalism has a lot of false promises.
01:51:56.000I wish we could have... I wish that we could have heaven on earth.
01:52:00.000That is ultimately the promise of liberalism, is that progress is real, progress can happen, people can get better through education and through material...
01:53:09.000It's very easy to be gaslit because there's such a social consensus around these liberal premises.
01:53:16.000There's like this consensus that, you know, women's rights are awesome and abortion is cool and gay people are just like us and blacks and whites can hold hands and, you know, be best friends all the time forever and all of these, all of these things
01:53:42.000It's sometimes hard to know they're wrong when everybody's saying otherwise.
01:53:46.000We may think about it and think, of course that's wrong, but if everyone else is saying it's right, could I just be the only one that's right?
01:53:58.000And when we see things collapsing, it's horrible, but it's also somewhat of a vindication, and it's almost like a proof of our whole worldview.
01:54:06.000If we were wrong, things would be going fine.
01:54:08.000If we were, if I was some kind of grifter, because what they say is like, oh Alex Jones and people like him, they make money off of fear.
01:54:19.000Why would somebody be some kind of rabble rouser, political extremist?
01:54:23.000Well, they say because of some kind of personal failing, some kind of personality flaw, some deep-seated character flaw, or they say it's for cynical, superficial reasons like greed, right?
01:54:38.000Because how else would you explain it?
01:54:40.000When you see somebody like Alex Jones, who goes through so much, and is banned from so much, and they would say, well, what would possessive person to do that unless they had sincere convictions?
01:54:49.000Oh, well, something went wrong in his childhood, or he just wants money.
01:55:06.000They'll try to take the wind out of our sails by saying like, in other words, no one could possibly sincerely believe that there's anything wrong with the system.
01:55:14.000The only reason people might think there's something wrong with something that's obviously good is because they're evil or broken or greedy.
01:55:53.000And why is the world more violent, and less safe, and more evil than it was 20 years ago?
01:55:58.00030 years ago, 50 years ago, 60 years ago, why is everything so much worse?
01:56:03.000It's because you're wrong, and we're right.
01:56:06.000And eventually, people are going to start to hear that message because they're going to be looking for it.
01:56:11.000When people are hungry, and when people are tired, and when people are pissed off, they're going to be looking for the people for 50 years that have been saying, this cannot go on forever.
01:56:44.000We're not in a biblical sense, but we're the ones that see what's coming.
01:56:48.000We are the ones that, prophets of doom, we're the ones that see the calamity on the horizon.
01:56:53.000And therefore, we're going to be the ones that will have a chance, will have a fighting chance to inherit the society when things do come undone.
01:57:02.000We'll be there and we got to be ready.
01:57:11.000The worst things get, the more Black Swan events happen, the more
01:57:16.000The more unforeseen, strange, unpredictable things will happen, and as they increase in frequency, the dynamic will fundamentally change, and there will be an opportunity, and we have got to be ready.
02:01:03.000So he's like, you know, you gotta, you gotta stop this insult thing and, you know, you gotta start working out and... And I'm like, yeah, he's right, he's right.
02:01:15.000If I'm gonna be the leader, I have to be a role model.
02:01:55.000I wish I could just be, you know, something with a little bit less restriction and lighter obligation, but that's what I've been called to do.
02:02:06.000It would be much easier if I didn't do that.
02:02:24.000That's a price I have to pay to be a leader and to actually create change.
02:02:30.000And he's, you know, so he's right about that.
02:02:32.000So, yeah, I've accepted there are some things that are going to have to change as I mature and as this show matures and as this matures into a political movement.
02:02:41.000You know, a lot of people are very critical of me, but you got to keep in mind I'm 23 years old.
02:02:44.000I haven't been around for a long time.
02:02:46.000It's not an excuse, but it is to say that you have to give time for a situation to evolve.
02:02:52.000And I think I recognize that, you know, it's time for America first to level up.
02:02:58.000And if the state is me, you know, what is the quote by Louis XIV?
02:05:07.000Don't get me wrong I'm still right about all that stuff, but I just can't do it because I have to be a leader.
02:05:12.000That's all If I weren't the leader, I would still believe all those things and still be pushing all those things Still an incel by the way, but I
02:06:19.000If I could get air conditioning back, I don't know if I could do like a long stream without air conditioning, but if I could get that going then yeah, I would love to do something like that.
02:06:29.000Maybe do like a 12-hour stream, fasting, maybe like do a rosary stream with Baked Alaska or something.
02:07:38.000At one point in time I said that Trump getting cheated out and losing and Biden winning and Trump coming back and winning, I said that may prove to be the best possible outcome.
02:07:51.000There's one trajectory where it could be better, and you could see, like, you get a dark MAGA, a vengeful Trump comes in harder than ever before, makes a revolutionary change necessary because the Biden admin's a failure, and, you know, creates these sort of revolutionary preconditions.
02:08:06.000That's what I meant, is that Trump losing in that way, in an illegitimate way, could create the conditions and set the stage for
02:08:20.000I also said that I had been told by some people, some political people, that when Biden, when the opposition party wins, or rather the opposition media always does better.
02:08:44.000You know, CNN had their best ratings ever the past four years under Trump.
02:08:49.000And under Obama, that's when talk radio and all that stuff flourished.
02:08:52.000That's what produced the Milos, the Breitbart, the Shapiro, all that kind of stuff.
02:08:58.000And so some people are saying, you know, it may be better for you if Biden wins.
02:09:02.000Because if Biden wins, opposition media will do well and people look to guys like you.
02:09:06.000And I think there is some truth in that, but then you have this... but that's... but honestly that is sort of a dated mentality because of course now it's a different game.
02:09:15.000That may have been true under Obama or Trump, but it's not true now because now they're prosecuting their enemies, they're investigating their enemies, they're censoring their enemies.
02:09:25.000So that may be... that may have been true over the past 40 years, 30 years, but it's a different dynamic now because you have this censorship component, this persecution component.
02:12:07.000That's why I've always said that we have not changed all since pyramids We had a Pharaoh and the priests and then like a billion slaves farmers and slaves.
02:12:18.000I Think that you know, most people are Pyramid builders and That's just kind of how the human race is
02:14:28.000Just thought you and everyone should know that Simon follows softcore porn anime.
02:14:44.000Well, we are Trump loyalists, but yeah, we're trying to put, well, Trump is really like this phenomenon that we need to push in the right direction.
02:15:03.000It's, in some sense, I mean, I'm loyal to Trump, but also we need to
02:15:09.000It is kind of a complicated equation, I guess.
02:16:42.000But basically there's like, all that I remember is there was like three sort of cultures in Libya.
02:16:48.000That's what my research essay was about and how like the ongoing civil war is really a consequence of that and only Muammar Gaddafi could unite all of them.
02:17:10.000Phoenicians and Carthage was in Tunis.
02:17:20.000Yes, I don't even, I don't even remember.
02:17:22.000I'm not even gonna try and impress you because I don't even remember what my essay was about.
02:17:25.000I don't remember anything from that class.
02:17:28.000Because a lot of it was just sort of explaining like why African politics doesn't work.
02:17:34.000And they never really gave the correct answer.
02:17:36.000It's like, well, it doesn't work because, you know, they just are always having revolutions and, you know, talking about how different African countries are in different stages in democracy and how they're trying to have democracy.
02:17:50.000Bedouin, yeah, the Bedouin tribes in the South.
02:19:36.000There's nothing good that can come from sinning.
02:19:38.000Like, if you go out there and sin, like, you know, that's not, in the truest sense, that's not gonna... If you have to sin to win, it's not a real victory, is what I'm saying.
02:19:51.000Some people sin to get rich and famous, and guess what?
02:19:58.000If you die an unrepentant sinner, you die and go to hell, you know what I mean?
02:20:03.000So that's not really a victory at all so I think that you can there are certain things that you can kind of be flexible with like when it comes to conservatism like I don't I'm not gonna kill America because of the Constitution says we have to play by certain rules but I don't think that we it's like ever a policy to say we need to sin and break and not be Christian in order to win I would I think that's completely wrong so
02:20:35.000Hicks sent $3, 5% to your church, 5% to charity, 5% to Nick.
02:21:44.000Well and then she turned out to be crazy, then she turned out to be like 30 years old and like just got out of a 10 year relationship and she was like totally insane.
02:21:51.000Is that, are we thinking of the same one or a different one?
02:21:54.000Because I remember everybody got mad at me because I spurred doubt about that.
02:21:57.000I was like, don't, don't talk to me like that.
02:21:59.000Don't, don't proposition me like that.
02:22:01.000And everybody's like, wow, Nick, Nick Fuentes spurts out over girl asking him out and then she turned out to be fucking insane.
02:22:09.000Then she turned out to be like on antidepressants and like a total crazy.
02:25:20.000Well, I mean, there is no white preservation if we're all burning in hell, so... How's that preserving white people if we're all...
02:25:44.000We're all incurring the wrath of God in this life and the next.
02:25:47.000I don't think that's good for white well-being, actually.
02:25:52.000I'm glad that that distinction has arisen because now people can see
02:25:58.000You know, what we are about at the end of the day is Christianity.
02:26:02.000And I do believe in white identity politics, but of course I believe in God more.
02:26:08.000And, you know, that precludes us from the kinds of things they accuse us of being, which is like, we want to kill people or genocide people.
02:26:39.000Well, I think they want to do that, but I think they may have trouble implementing it.
02:26:44.000But I think that that is what they want to do because that is how they completely control the use of money.
02:26:56.000If all the money is digital, that means that they will control all of it.
02:27:00.000That means all... Like, think about that.
02:27:02.000That is how they eliminate cash and crypto.
02:27:05.000If all the money is just on a digital centralized ledger in a bank or some financial firm, if you can't hold your money digitally, privately, independently, that means that private and public institutions control all the money.
02:27:37.000Cryptocurrency you can have because if you know anything about Bitcoin as an example, it's built on the blockchain and the blockchain
02:27:47.000Allows people to hold digital money privately because the blockchain is so large that no institution can manipulate the ledger because the ledger is maintained by an insurmountable amount of computing power, right?
02:28:01.000That's why cryptocurrency is such a revolutionary thing and why I support it deeply.
02:28:08.000When they introduced central bank digital currencies,
02:28:11.000Of course you cannot hold digital money privately.
02:28:14.000You can't like have that money on your computer.
02:28:16.000That money has to be recorded somewhere in a bank account or in some kind of maybe some kind of government account.
02:28:22.000How are people going to have their money?
02:29:06.000That's why I have lots and lots of crypto.
02:29:11.000Because once you get rid of cash, cash is like the only way now you go and you can buy things and there's like a name is recorded, a location is recorded, just reported to the IRS by the business.
02:29:23.000You know or when it's person-to-person it isn't even recorded, it may be recorded by the IRS.
02:29:29.000But if it's all digital, the FBI can see it all.
02:32:08.000The question is, who or what is most likely to deliver us an America First victory?
02:32:13.000Is it the guy that got screwed over and did it once and who the whole media hates, who the regime tried to destroy because he was so successful?
02:32:19.000Because he won Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania because he named the globalist, etc, etc, etc?
02:32:25.000The guy that is now, you know, maybe vengeful against the Israel lobby?
02:32:29.000The guy that learned his mistakes with personnel and corrected in the last year?
02:32:33.000The guy who we know will have a good staff, or is it going to be the guy that is none of those things?
02:32:37.000The guy that has none of that going on?
02:32:38.000That's the question that matters, not what does so-and-so have to do.
02:32:42.000It's about which is the inferior option.
02:32:44.000DeSantis is clearly the inferior option for all those reasons.
02:33:17.000I find myself saying things that my dad says these days.
02:33:24.000and you know and I know that I think everybody kind of goes through that to some extent but I find as I get older I find myself like becoming my dad in a lot in certain ways me and my dad are very different in some respects but you know I'm still his son so I still I'm becoming I'm becoming my old man but yeah thanks we have sort of a different temperament he's a little bit more laid-back but maybe for the better
02:36:11.000I tell you how that whole week transpired.
02:36:14.000Because that was my first big moment when I was like, because I started my show on February 17 and that was like my first big story when I was like, I figured something out that nobody else did.
02:37:58.000In both senses of the word in the sense that I'm immortal and fallible and all that and I'm You know, but I'm also a man and You know, so I know a lot of people look at me as
02:38:14.000Is the internet personality, but I'm a guy and I'm a guy that's growing up I'm a guy that grew up doing this I'm a guy that grew up I was 18 when I did this and I'm growing up doing this and it's very difficult I've done incredibly well because I'm a genius and have great instincts and I'm extremely talented extreme amount of raw talent and basically great moral conscience and just just all around a terrific guy that no one else could say the same if they're in my situation, but I'm still a guy that's growing up and
02:38:43.000You know, America First just has never stagnated because I've always been growing.
02:38:47.000I'm not the same guy now that I was last year.
02:38:49.000I'm not the same guy last year that I was the year before that.
02:38:52.000And I'm not every day going to come on the show and say, Hi!
02:39:12.000And it's grown into a real political movement.
02:39:14.000And now that we really are getting ambitious, now it has to really mature and evolve.
02:39:18.000And I don't want to lose the secret ingredient.
02:39:23.000I don't want to lose that sort of X factor that got us here.
02:39:27.000So it's a delicate thing, because you want to refine.
02:39:30.000You want to discharge the things that are holding you back, but without
02:39:35.000Without you know, you want to not throw the baby out the bathwater you want to discharge maybe the more self-indulgent maybe juvenile things that while retaining these the authenticity the realness the
02:39:51.000The ingredients the goddess and that's sort of a tricky thing It's a tricky thing to maintain because a big part of my appeal is that I'm controversial and I'm outrageous and all that but of course it's At the same time my success is because I'm ruthlessly pragmatic ruthlessly practical and
02:40:09.000And also ambitious and have a mind towards building a movement and building infrastructure.
02:40:14.000And so it's just where do you find where do you find that balance?
02:40:16.000Where do you find where do you find the perfect ratio the perfect ratio of?
02:40:22.000You know my sort of what would you say impishness?
02:40:29.000Sweet spot of impishness and innovation and eccentricity and differentiation but also with the pragmatism and the maturity That is worthy of our ambitions and that's sort of a thing that I've been working out for as long as I've been doing this and it's something that's always It's something that's always happening.
02:40:47.000So And you know Milo gives good a lot of people give me advice on that stuff and I've been thinking a lot along the same lines So anyway
02:40:58.000Yeah, I talked to him the other day and he said that, but anyway.
02:41:05.000Hicks sent $3, but don't get it twisted.
02:41:08.000I may have to change to be more professional in the future, but I will always be the same guy deep down.
02:41:13.000I'll always be Nick, said by you a long time ago.
02:41:55.000So anyway, I'm not, it's not a concession, it's not a concession or anything, but it's just to say that I've always said that.
02:42:03.000I'm the same guy, but I'm always, you know, people say, you're working out now?
02:42:06.000It's like, well, you know, a lot of the things I say on my show, I say to be provocative or funny or whatever, but at the end of the day, I still do ruthlessly want to win for America first, and I'm going to, and I will not let anything stand in the way.
02:46:54.000I'm not gonna speak on any inside info or anything like that, but what is going on is that, well I'm not gonna get into insider info, but if you know what's going on with
02:47:10.000If you read that article, you kind of understand what happened with personnel in 2020, and there'll probably be more of that in 2024 if Trump gets in.
