Donald Trump is the next president of the United States, and he's running for re-election on the platform of being a Christian and standing up for the American people. President Trump has been a long time supporter of President Obama, and the two have been friends since their days growing up together in Queens, New York City. Trump has also been a supporter of many other candidates, including Hillary Clinton and Ted Cruz, who are both running for president in 2020. Trump is a devout Christian and has been in the public eye for years. He is also an avid worshipper of the Lord and believes that God is on our side in this election, and that God has already won the election. He has been on the campaign trail supporting President Trump since the beginning of the campaign and has stood by his side throughout the entire process. He also has been an avid supporter of Hillary Clinton since she was a young girl growing up in Queens and is now running for President and is a fierce supporter of the Trump campaign. New York is the first major U.S. city to require proof of vaccination for indoor activities, including going to the gym, and it s also the first city to mandate proof of a single dose of C.O.V.D. (Coconut Oil Vaping) in public places, including restaurants, parks, and public places in order to be allowed to go to those places with a mask on. I think this is going to be a big deal.

00:10:42.000The mayor also just announced the city will start requiring proof of COVID vaccination for a range of indoor activities, including going to a restaurant or to the gym.
00:11:39.000I'm not going to Walgreens to get an mRNA, non-FDA approved, and even if it was, experimental vaccine that goes inside your cells and manipulates your DNA to start producing spiked proteins which are killing babies and giving people heart attacks.
00:12:03.000Because I'm afraid of the flu, which kills like .00013%.
00:12:42.000People get a small taste of what they used to have, the hard lockdown comes back, and then people are more desperate to do what they're told in order to get full normalcy.
00:12:55.000And they're already talking about that in Iceland.
00:12:57.000They say in Iceland it's a 15-year lockdown plan.
00:13:03.000And they're talking about that with the vaccines.
00:13:05.000Regular, every six months, booster shots.
00:13:10.000Booster shots, vaccinations for COVID.
00:13:14.000So you're gonna get your two shots, and then get sick, and then you gotta get a third shot, and then, you know, you just get a shot every six months or something.
00:13:25.000And that's with the 15-year lockdown plan, and that's with the masks, and the plexiglass, and the lockdown, and the vaccine passport.
00:13:33.000I think the endgame is the vaccine passport.
00:13:35.000When all of this is said and done, there will be no independent businesses left.
00:13:40.000There will be no public institution, public or private institution that is open to the public that will not be controlled by the state, that will not be controlled by bureaucrats.
00:13:51.000There's not going to be one place that you could go to outside
00:13:55.000Where other people gather that will not be restricted based on vaccination status or some other arbitrary thing.
00:14:04.000And if they announced it tomorrow that that's what they were doing, people would resist it.
00:14:09.000And the only way to stop this, by the way, is to stop it where it is.
00:15:16.000There's a chance we could have earned that outcome.
00:15:18.000We are continuing to wage our war against the mask mandate.
00:15:23.000I'm a big believer in just making everybody's life harder.
00:15:26.000You don't have to get fired over this stuff, but just make everybody's life difficult.
00:15:30.000Don't let the CDC guidelines be an imposition on you.
00:15:35.000Let it be an imposition on the people that have to enforce it.
00:15:39.000You know, let the people that work at these places of business remind you five times when you're in a store or wherever to put your mask back on and put it on over your nose and do this and that, right?
00:15:54.000Go into one of these stores when they reimpose the mask mandate and get in a confrontation with a worker and get in a shouting match and get kicked out.
00:16:39.000Make them go to their therapist, and get on antidepressants, and cry.
00:16:44.000Because you walked into Target and ruined their whole day.
00:16:47.000Because gas is $4, and they don't know how they're going to pay their rent, and their relationship with their parents is bad, and they're getting used, and Tinder hookups, and then they gotta go to Target, and they gotta deal with some smug right-wing asshole not wearing their mask.
00:17:02.000And let those people go off the rails.
00:17:04.000And let the whole fucking system go off the rails.
00:17:17.000So, to every rhino, every lying journalist, every carjacker, gangbanger, illegal immigrant, every OnlyFans whore, every mobbed-up politician and pundit on the payroll of some Middle Eastern country, to the people that have looted our wealth, addicted our youth to drugs, thrown open our borders to invaders from all over the world,
00:17:43.000To the corrupt that have sold out our country and our people, we are coming for you.
00:25:29.000That's how it expresses itself in education.
00:25:32.000That's how it expresses itself in the military, in the private sector, in the federal government.
00:25:37.000What's happening in our schools and our military and our government is simpler and easier to recognize than that.
00:25:43.000You could also say that it's just anti-white.
00:25:47.000So, anti-white racism is exploding across the country.
00:25:50.000Obviously, no one wants to say it, but it's right in your face every single day.
00:25:53.000When you say the military is practicing critical race theory, what actually does that mean?
00:26:00.000There might be a small handful of experts who could tell you exactly what that means.
00:26:05.000Because we've been tied up in some pointless debate about a concept that nobody can actually define.
00:26:09.000Maybe on a technical academic level, you could say that that curriculum was inspired by critical race theory, which is a Marxist school of thought from certain academic institutions.
00:26:22.000The race hate, and that's what it is, has oozed from the universities, and it has infected the entire country, including at the very highest levels.
00:28:28.000I believe she was working for Campus Reform at the time, and at the conclusion of the interview, she said, OK, and one last question, do you think you'd like to take a trip to Israel?
00:29:28.000I think one day, maybe a couple of hours before the show began, I said, how about America first?
00:29:36.000There's a lot of opportunities that I could have shilled, or sold out, or cut corners, or whatever, but I think, above all else, the belief for the show was, if you produce a good, honest show, then that's more valuable than cutting corners.
00:29:49.000People see what I have, and they say, I want that, I want to be, I want to have an e-celebrity thing, I want to have a show, I want to have fans.
00:29:58.000Uh, but are they prepared to do it every night without getting any significant traction?
00:30:02.000For almost, uh, two years, there was no real progress.
00:30:03.000It wasn't like it was this overnight success.
00:30:09.000Good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good
00:30:46.000Because the first year that I did this show, I had a small pumpkin, like one of those tiny ones.
00:30:52.000And as the years have gone on, every year, it gets bigger and bigger.
00:30:57.000Years ago, America First wasn't what it was.
00:31:00.000It was just this not really popular show, and it was the alt-right.
00:31:03.000But I came into the scene, and everybody said, you can't do that, you can't say that, Richard Spencer's the biggest, you can't beat these guys, who the fuck do you think you are?
00:31:12.000And I came in and have defined a new generation of the dissident right.
00:32:29.000His biggest social media platform is gone.
00:32:31.000He's banned from all streaming services.
00:32:33.000I mean, they thought they were going to throttle me in the crib years ago.
00:32:38.000When Media Matters was writing hit pieces about me, Right-Wing Lodge, Jared Holt, when they banned me from PayPal, when they banned me from YouTube, when Charlie Kirk called me a Holocaust denier, when they, oh, he said the N-word, he said this, he said that.
00:32:50.000But, in spite of everything, even when the situation appeared hopeless, when the chips were down, personal crisis, professional crisis, constant rug pulls, constant attacks, but we survived, right?
00:33:19.000But we're the ones that are on the front lines moving the Overton window.
00:33:23.000We're the ones changing the conversation.
00:33:26.000And we did it, and we didn't get any accolades, and we didn't get any credit, and they didn't write glowing articles about us in all these bad think tank magazines.
00:36:27.000There should be a real great reset in the Republican Party!
00:36:30.000And 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!
00:36:44.000The new Republican Party must be America first!
00:36:50.000America First needs, finally, an end to these Middle Eastern wars that do not benefit us!
00:36:59.000America First needs an end to this mass immigration, this invasion of our country by foreigners!
00:37:10.000As President Trump said in his inaugural address, from this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
00:40:19.000All of the billionaires and the top politicians in the world get together and they plan out our lives.
00:40:25.000And you have to ask yourself, who are they really serving?
00:40:28.000It is about the forces of evil versus the people of Jesus Christ.
00:40:35.000And if there's anything that the globalist establishment has to fear, it is Christian patriotic young men!
00:40:45.000They can't live in their gated communities.
00:40:48.000They can't live at the top of their high-rise luxury apartments without us!
00:40:56.000And if they continue to take away our rights and destroy our way of life, then we will shut the country down!
00:41:08.000It 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.
00:41:17.000It is now a new chapter in American history.
00:41:20.000I think everybody's starting to see that we are actually the real resistance, truly.
00:52:52.000They prescribed poison to us from the pharmaceutical companies.
00:52:57.000They're poisoning us with the seed oils that we're eating, the high fructose corn syrup.
00:53:02.000They're poisoning the water with heavy metals, which is in the tap water.
00:53:07.000They're poisoning us with what's on television and out of Hollywood and pornography.
00:53:13.000They're poisoning us in every way that you can imagine, but we're supposed to believe now, suddenly, they care so much about our public health.
00:53:45.000If we are faced with the question about whether or not we will get the vaccine and surrender and capitulate to the system, a devil-worshipping system that hates us and hate our country, the answer has to be always no.
00:54:40.000But as soon as people start playing games, I stop.
00:58:37.000This 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.
00:58:51.000That black guy killed a white boy because he was white.
00:58:55.000And this black guy hated white people.
01:00:15.000They perpetrated the Holocaust against Jews.
01:00:19.000And that was, by far and away, the most obscene, worst genocide ever in the history of the world.
01:00:24.000And then, when all was said and done, white people were racist to the Muslims that blew up the World Trade Center.
01:00:30.000White people are racist to black criminals and the police.
01:00:34.000Basically, people are bred from cradle until grave thinking that white people are uniquely evil people.
01:00:42.000White 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.
01:00:52.000And that's a guilt that is ancestral, it's not individual, everyone has it, and you can never overcome it.
01:01:00.000There's no clear way, discernibly, that you can ever overcome it and ever achieve equality with these non-white people.
01:01:09.000And it's as a consequence of this that these things are becoming more and more common.
01:01:18.000And when white people are dehumanized, black people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human.
01:01:26.000And other people are going to start killing white people because they see them as less than human.
01:01:31.000How 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.
01:01:47.000And that he committed this crime in retaliation for that perceived prejudice, perceived hatred against him.
01:01:54.000That'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.
01:02:04.000I mean, what do you think affirmative action is?
01:02:08.000And a lot of white people don't want to talk about it now.
01:02:12.000They want to pretend that that's not the case because
01:02:15.000Honestly, I think a lot of white people think that it's beneath them.
01:02:18.000I 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.
01:02:33.000I 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.
01:02:47.000And 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?
01:03:12.000And in a lot of ways it already isn't a white country anymore.
01:03:16.000And 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.
01:03:52.000People 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.
01:04:04.000And it's not everybody, but it is a lot of people, and everyone knows that.
01:04:09.000As 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.
01:11:50.000I'd like to propose a toast to our people.
01:11:56.000I'd like to propose a toast to the Voipers, to White Boy Summer, White Boy Century, to the reaction and the reclamation of the United States.
01:20:18.000From the previous dreams Millions of people try To get on the scene And everyone's selling their souls Everyone's selling their Everyone's saying they won't But they sleepwalking, dead eyes closed
01:24:44.000So, to every rhino, every lying journalist, every carjacker, gangbanger, illegal immigrant, every OnlyFans whore, every mobbed-up politician and pundit on the payroll of some Middle Eastern country, to the people that have looted our wealth, addicted our youth to drugs, thrown open our borders to invaders from all over the world,
01:25:10.000To the corrupt that have sold out our country and our people, we are coming for you.
01:42:12.000They prescribed poison to us from the pharmaceutical companies.
01:42:17.000They're poisoning us with the seed oils that we're eating, the high fructose corn syrup.
01:42:23.000They're poisoning the water with heavy metals, which is in the tap water.
01:42:28.000They're poisoning us with what's on television and out of Hollywood and pornography.
01:42:34.000They're poisoning us in every way that you can imagine, but we're supposed to believe now, suddenly, they care so much about our public health.
01:43:06.000We are faced with the question about whether or not we will get the vaccine and surrender and capitulate to the system, a devil-worshipping system that hates us and hate our country.
01:43:44.000There must be a real great reset in the Republican Party!
01:43:47.000And 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!
01:44:01.000The new Republican Party must be America First!
01:44:07.000America First means finally an end to these Middle Eastern wars that do not benefit us!
01:44:14.000America First means an end to this mass immigration, this invasion of our country by foreigners!
01:44:27.000As President Trump said in his inaugural address, from this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.
02:09:40.000Our featured story tonight is about a January 6th defendant who was acquitted on four charges in relation to the January 6th Capitol riot.
02:09:53.000And this is the first time there's been any kind of acquittal.
02:09:57.000And so if you've been following the cases ever since January 6th, it fits a very familiar pattern, as it always does with the federal law enforcement.
02:10:07.000They've charged about 800 people, people for trespassing, obstruction of justice, going all the way up to
02:10:17.000Conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding of Congress, which are felonies.
02:10:22.000So you have 800 people that have been charged with lots of different kinds of charges.
02:10:28.000The most common one, though, is trespassing.
02:10:30.000And people have been charged for being unlawfully inside the Capitol or on restricted Capitol grounds.
02:10:37.000But there have been more serious charges, too.
02:10:40.000Ever since January 6th, though, most people that have been charged are just taking plea deals.
02:10:47.000And so the federal government will say, listen, if we take this to court, we're going to win, we're going to kick your ass, and we're going to throw you to jail forever.
02:10:56.000We're going to throw you to jail for a really long time.
02:10:58.000They say, or, we could knock off some of these charges, we'll recommend a shorter sentence, but you have to plead guilty to one of the charges.
02:11:07.000And so about 200 out of the 800 that have been charged have pled guilty as a result of taking these plea deals.
02:11:15.000And then it doesn't go to court, it's just a sentencing, and the federal government will recommend a lighter sentence than they would have gotten if it went to trial, and then they were found guilty after a trial.
02:11:28.000So this is actually a very rare case where one of these things actually went to a trial and then it's the first time that a guy got acquitted, but it gets even better than that.
02:11:38.000He was charged for four things, acquitted on everything, and in particular he was acquitted on trespassing because he was able to make a case to the judge that he really believed that he was allowed to be inside the Capitol.
02:11:55.000And so the defense put up an argument and they said, look, the cops waved these people in.
02:12:24.000But the legal standard in the United States is a person has to be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
02:12:30.000And so they were able to prove in the case there's a reasonable doubt as to whether or not any crimes were committed because of the conduct of the police.
02:12:40.000And if the police are waving them in, there's a question.
02:12:56.000Because again, so far one quarter of all the cases are guilty pleas.
02:13:00.000And for the most part, those are plea deals.
02:13:04.000And we'll talk about that more later on in the show, but suffice to say this has serious consequences for all the other cases that have yet to go to trial.
02:13:13.000If this guy was able to prove, and this is the standard, that there's a reasonable doubt about whether or not people are actually in the Capitol unlawfully, it really changes the whole story.
02:13:24.000And that's going to change the game for a lot of people that have been charged with trespassing.
02:13:28.000Not for everybody, but for a lot of people.
02:13:31.000So, huge white pill, really big story.
02:13:46.000After the Russian invasion of Ukraine began back in February, the United States imposed unprecedented sanctions against Russia and the Russian banking system, seized its foreign currency reserves, disallowed Russia from buying euros or US dollars, and so the ruble was trading, I believe it was around 80,
02:14:08.00080-84 rubles to the dollar before the invasion and then at the peak of this sanctions regime it was trading at 150-160 rubles for a dollar.
02:14:18.000So you could say the value went down by half.
02:14:21.000Lost 50% of its value in a matter of a week.
02:14:25.000Well now the ruble is basically where it was before and I read it was so funny
02:14:30.000There was a Fox News article about this and it said that the ruble had recovered some of the value that it lost after the invasion.
02:14:39.000And I think you could get one more ruble per dollar before the invasion than you could now.
02:14:45.000So I think it was at 80 before, now it's at like 81.
02:14:49.000Again, I didn't look at the numbers before I went live, but I saw it earlier.
02:14:54.000It was 84 before the invasion, it's 85 now.
02:14:58.000And I'm reading on Fox News and they say, well it's recovered some of its value.
02:16:39.000The purpose of the sanctions is to, you know, it's supposed to hurt them a little bit and then they come back, but then it's really going to hurt them later, at some point later.
02:17:08.000But honestly, I mean, at a certain point,
02:17:13.000You know, when I come on the show and I have the Russian flag and I have the Z and I say, yeah, go Russia, go Putin, a lot of people go, okay, is this guy for real?
02:17:39.000But here you are a month later and you see, these are just blatant lies.
02:17:44.000The Western media comes out and says, we tried to destroy the Russian economy, it didn't work, but that just goes to show that it's working?
02:17:51.000I mean, there's no question anymore as to who's being reasonable here on this conflict.
02:19:46.000It's like my least favorite thing ever.
02:19:50.000And so I was texting one of the interns today and he's like, hey can we jump on a call and I just like stopped responding and he's like, Nick when you bring up a phone call and he put the gif of the black guy pieces out
02:20:05.000I'm like, listen man, like I just can't, I can't talk on the phone.
02:20:31.000Like I can't because I pace I pace around my house and I do stuff and then I'm on my phone and hey you ever do this you're on the phone and well you're on speakerphone and you're scrolling social media and you'll see like a video you want to watch and you're like okay well I gotta like save that for after the call so you're like accumulating content that you want you'd like thinking of things you're doing things you're like I just have all that I'm amassing all these activities I need to do
02:24:03.000I will say though, and I'll get into that, but I also want to say before I really get into the currency and the state of the Russian economy, the disinformation is like, it's never been as bad as it is now.
02:24:19.000There's been a slow and steady effort by Big Tech to shut down the conversation with censorship and in the way that they curate information.
02:24:29.000Because there was a time, I remember back in 2014, 15, and 16, when you could look for news and you would find
02:24:37.000You would find mainstream news from mainstream media outlets, very large, very well-funded legacy media outlets like the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC, and so on.
02:24:49.000And you would find those so-called credible sources from the establishment, but equally you could also find alternative news sources and you could find alternative sources of information.
02:25:03.000And so you could find information on forums, and you could find information from independent journalists, you could find information from basically people that are not institutional.
02:25:13.000People that are not New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, NBC, and so on.
02:25:20.000And over time, of course, the media landscape has gradually changed.
02:25:27.000The first is obvious, it's censorship.
02:25:29.000The latter kinds of people, the independent journalists, the alternative kinds of people, people that are saying things that are against the mainstream, those people have simply been silenced.
02:25:40.000They have been removed from the conversation.
02:25:42.000They have been banned from Twitter, banned from YouTube, banned from Facebook.
02:25:47.000Where they do remain, their growth is throttled.
02:25:50.000They're not allowed to spread their message in the same viral way that the institutional outlets are.
02:25:56.000And then the other way that it's changed, and that's sort of a nice segue, is they've changed how the information is curated.
02:26:05.000And what I mean by this is, if you go onto YouTube now and you search up Russia-Ukraine war, you are not going to get anything other than NBC, CBS, CNN, New York Times.
02:26:21.000That's all you're going to get and nothing else.
02:26:25.000And they are curating now, so in the case of YouTube, they will curate the search results based on keyword.
02:26:32.000So if you're looking up anything that's actually important, like the vaccine, or the pandemic, or the war in Ukraine, or election fraud, if it's newsworthy and it's one of these important topics where it's actually contentious about what's going on,
02:26:48.000They curate the results, and this is all done... some of it's manual, clearly, and some of it's algorithmic.
02:26:56.000It's all the mainstream establishment narrative, and it's also all the legacy institutional news media.
02:27:04.000So, you look up Russia-Ukraine war, all the information you're going to get is how Russia is evil, and they're actually losing the war, and you're going to get it from the same sources.
02:27:14.000And the same thing goes for Facebook and Twitter.
02:27:16.000When you log on to Facebook and Twitter, what populates your feed, again, it's already filtered because some people are just not on the platform anymore.
02:27:26.000So, you log on and it's already been determined what kind of opinions are tolerated because so many people are just not even allowed to participate.
02:27:37.000Then, you know, once you get through the people that are not even allowed to post, in terms of who is allowed to post, they will curate the timeline that you see.
02:27:46.000And so when you get on the Facebook, the TikTok, the Reddit, the Twitter timeline, it will once again, after everyone's been banned, still there'll be a process of curation through an algorithm.
02:28:01.000The things that show up on your feed are determined by, manually and algorithmically, by the people that run Twitter.
02:28:08.000And so all you're going to see on the Twitter timeline, you're not going to hear the other side, you're not going to hear from an independent journalist, you're only going to hear from... And I think everybody understands that, everyone has a basic understanding of that, but...
02:28:25.000But also you don't realize, in terms of the severity of the gravity of what a problem that is, until you're in it.
02:28:32.000Because I want to look for information about the Russia-Ukraine war, and you go on YouTube, the biggest video platform in the world, 2 billion active users, and you can't find anything.
02:29:05.000And so now, going on YouTube is no different than flipping on the TV.
02:29:09.000And in the same way that you get a limited, curated, controlled number of options, you can't go on television and select, you know, Alex Jones TV.
02:29:19.000Or Nick Fuentes TV, you get Fox, CNN, and MSNBC.
02:29:24.000The same way you go on YouTube, and that's all you get there too.
02:29:28.000You go on Google, and you try and search something, and again, the search engine Google, it's like you're flipping through the TV channels.
02:29:36.000And yeah, you can still, if you know where to look, you can still find the right information.
02:29:41.000But 90% of people don't know where to look and they're not going to search for it.
02:29:46.000And all 90% of people are ever going to see is their curated Twitter timeline, the things that they search on YouTube, the first two pages of results, the first two pages of Google search results.
02:30:46.000Russia's a dictatorship and key to the control
02:30:50.000That the dictator has over the country is his control of information and he has to use his state-run media to lie to the people to manipulate them into supporting his evil agenda.
02:31:02.000And they say that's the reason we won't allow Russian state media in our social media.
02:31:09.000And then you look at American news media.
02:31:12.000And the big headline today, like I said, from Reuters is that
02:31:17.000The ruble has made a full recovery, but that only shows how weak the Russian economy is.
02:31:25.000And as you know, for the past 5-6 weeks, Russia has been under the worst sanctions that have ever been imposed on a major world country in history.
02:31:36.000And in spite of this, its stock market is booming, its currency has recovered, food and energy prices are stable.
02:31:56.000Foreign currency reserves seized, unable to trade their currency for the reserve currency, for the reference currency, the US dollar, or even the euro for that matter.
02:32:07.000And yet the Russian economy is not only not failing, it's doing fine.
02:32:18.000And this is a very big problem for the West, because they're out there doubling, tripling, quadrupling down, saying, we stand up to dictators, they know the stakes in this war, and what is lost if Russia is able to thumb their nose at the West and take what they want.
02:32:31.000And they're saying, we're standing up, and they've painted him out to be Hitler.
02:32:34.000I mean, they can't let Hitler win, yet the sanctions aren't working, and they can't go to war.
02:32:39.000So then they go and Reuters, and they say things like, oh, the sanctions aren't working?
02:32:43.000Well, actually, it means they're working.
02:33:01.000It's counterintuitive, but wouldn't you know, it actually shows how weak they are.
02:33:07.000It says after shedding 45% of its value against the dollar in the two weeks after Russia invaded Ukraine the currency has bounced back and is now trading just below its pre-war level.
02:33:19.000But the tools that have been used to prop up the ruble make it look like a Potemkin currency.
02:33:25.000Like the fake facades ordered by the eponymous prince to fool Empress Catherine II into thinking Russian villages were prosperous.
02:33:36.000And that's, if you have ever heard of the phrase, the Potemkin Village.
02:33:41.000It's this old expression about Russia where the Russian Emperor is going to visit a village and the village is really shitty, so the guy makes a fake village that looks like it's thriving.
02:33:53.000And anyway, I don't know if that analogy is lost on people or not, but I don't think they do a good job explaining it here.
02:34:02.000They're saying, well, the currency is strong, but it just looks strong.
02:34:07.000Even though it's trading at the same rate, and even though the stock market's good, well, it just looks like it's doing fine, but it's not.
02:34:25.000It'd be one thing if they were saying one thing and it was something else, but it is what it is.
02:34:33.000Well, they said, well, uh, no, it's just fake.
02:34:36.000It says, since February 24th, the day the Russian invasion began, the Central Bank has raised its key interest rate from 9.5% to 20%, slapped capital controls on much of the economy, and forced Russian exporters to convert their foreign currency revenues into rubles.
02:34:52.000Meanwhile, President Vladimir Putin is trying to make buyers of Russian gas and oil pay in rubles.
02:34:59.000The efforts to shore up the ruble are in line with one of Putin's key beliefs.
02:35:03.000The humiliation of the steep devaluations of the 1990s helps explain why a stable currency has been a key element of policy since he came to power 20 years ago.
02:35:14.000The Central Bank Chief's relative independence has been respected because she has been a fierce guardian of the currency's stability.
02:35:22.000Yet the ruble remains at the mercy of any Western embargo on Russian oil and gas.
02:35:27.000The punitive 20% policy rate will further hurt an economy that the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
02:35:34.000Expects to shrink 10% this year just on the basis of sanctions already taken.
02:35:39.000High interest rates will deter investment.
02:35:41.000Trade restrictions will send imported prices higher.
02:35:44.000And Russians may find they have little use for a stable ruble in their fast closing economy.
02:35:49.000Sanctions are likely to last longer than analysts seem to expect when they cheer at the smallest indication of a possible compromise between Moscow and Kiev.
02:35:58.000But even if they were lifted, the ruble would come crashing down to reality.
02:36:03.000One of the reasons its exchange rate has recovered is that trading has been particularly thin in the last few weeks.
02:36:09.000If price discovery were to work unrestrained in a freer market, the ruble would reveal the real scale of the economic hole in which Russia finds itself.
02:36:20.000What they're essentially saying is that because the Russian Central Bank is pursuing extraordinary measures to shore up its currency, well that invalidates the recovery.
02:36:33.000But of course, extraordinary measures have been taken by the West.
02:36:41.000In a completely controlled situation, in a normal situation, if the central bank took dramatic moves, well, actually that they had to do these things shows that the Russian economy is weak.
02:37:23.000You know, I mean, they're saying that because of the Russian sanctions that we've imposed on Russia, we are going to enter a recession next year.
02:37:32.000And you see the results of high or rather low interest rates and the quantitative easing from our central bank.
02:37:39.000What is our Federal Reserve doing right now?
02:37:42.000They're having to raise interest rates rapidly, but in such a way that doesn't blow up the debt bubble that our economy is based on.
02:37:50.000And then they go to Russia and say, 20% interest rates?
02:37:55.000Your economy is not going to grow very much.
02:37:57.000And all of our asset prices are ballooning because we have zero interest rates and because we doubled the money supply in the span of two years.
02:38:07.000So a lot of it comes from this disposition that cheap money, irresponsible lending is the only way to grow the economy.
02:38:18.000So it's almost sort of mixing like our ridiculous monetary policy, but also with this giant cope about Russia.
02:38:25.000Any way that you cut it, Russia is surviving the crisis.
02:38:29.000And all that you need to look at is the actual material conditions on the ground.
02:38:34.000When we talk about economy, what matters is goods and services.
02:38:38.000What matters is raw materials, raw materials, industry, manufacturing, and then completed goods.
02:38:47.000The job of the Russian economy at this point is to provide all the needs of the Russian citizens, all the goods and services that they require with minimal dependence on the West, which they can do.
02:39:01.000Russia is a nation of titanium, and nickel, and oil, and natural gas, and wheat, and fertilizer.
02:39:09.000And so the things that the Russian economy needs, the main ingredients, the essential goods and services, Russia has.
02:39:18.000Russia is minimally dependent on the West.
02:39:22.000They're dependent on the Western financial system for global trade in the way that every other country is.
02:39:27.000But unlike every other country, they're not totally dependent on global trade.
02:39:33.000The things that they export, these are things that cannot be replaced easily or even at all.
02:39:39.000If anything, it's the reverse and I've said this for the past two weeks.
02:39:43.000It's the West which is dependent on the Russian economy.
02:39:45.000The United States doesn't make the things that Russia makes.
02:39:49.000The European continent does not make the things that Russia makes.
02:39:53.000The European economy and the American economy are dependent on Russia more than Russia is dependent on it.
02:39:59.000The American and the European economy is more dependent on trade and on globalization than the Russian economy is.
02:40:08.000If the global economy did to the United States and Europe what the United States and Europe are doing to Russia, the United States and Europe would not survive.
02:40:17.000And you look at Russia, they say, well Russia's this, they're the 11th largest economy, they're smaller than Texas, they have a very low GDP per capita, and yet ostracizing them from the international trade system, just one country, which they brag and say, oh it's so small, they're so puny, ostracizing just that one small country,
02:40:38.000Is having a profound inflationary effect across the entire world.
02:40:42.000They're talking about a global food shortage, 50% price spikes on food in Germany, 7% inflation in Germany already.
02:40:50.000They're telling people you're not going to be able to heat your house, wear a sweater inside, ride your bike to work, and so on.
02:40:57.000In the United States, this came out today.
02:41:01.000Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that there is an increased chance that we're going to enter a recession next year as a direct result of our sanctions on Russia.
02:41:14.000They say that there's a 10% chance or higher of a 10% greater chance that we'll have a recession next year because of the sanctions that we imposed on Russia.
02:41:26.000Everything that we have done to Russia, banned their central banks from the international system, seized their foreign currency reserves, $600 billion in foreign currency, banned them from trading the ruble for dollars and euros, which is catastrophic.
02:41:42.000We've pulled all the major Western companies out of Russia.
02:41:46.000Forced them to, or the people demanded that they pull out.
02:43:10.000The act of placing the sanctions upon Russia, we're acting on them, is hurting us more than them.
02:43:18.000And then the Western media has the audacity to publish articles where they say the Russian economy is doing fine.
02:43:24.000Well, that just goes to show that they're really weak because they had to do all these tricks to survive.
02:43:33.000And if they had to do tricks to survive, well, it's definitely working.
02:43:39.000Meanwhile at home, you're going to pay 30% more for food.
02:43:43.000Meanwhile at home, farmers are paying at least 15% more for everything involved in farming.
02:43:50.000They're having to pay more for fertilizer, they're having to pay more for everything.
02:43:57.000And so in some sense, you know, we've talked about the sanctions already and we've talked about the fact that this is a major crisis because by every metric the sanctions simply are not working.
02:44:08.000The goal of the sanctions is to do the following.
02:44:12.000The goal of the targeted sanctions on the Russian regime, as I've said, is to cause a palace coup.
02:44:17.000They want the oligarchs stripped of their yachts and their luxury properties and so on.
02:44:23.000They want the oligarchs in the court of Vladimir Putin to revolt.
02:44:28.000And they're not talking about necessarily regime change, but removing Putin himself.
02:44:34.000And so not changing the government, not changing the regime, but just changing the guy.
02:44:59.000The other goal is they want to starve Russia, they want to destroy the Russian economy, and they want Russian people to be materially so much worse off that they will demand an end to the war or regime change.
02:45:11.000So they will take to the streets because they're hungry, and they're poor, and they're not getting enough stuff.
02:45:19.000And then lastly, the goal is to starve the Russian government of cash so that even if Putin remains, and even if the people still have food and energy, well they just won't have the money to pay for the war.
02:45:31.000And Putin or no Putin, people on the streets or not, they just won't have the money to continue the war and they'll have to end it.
02:45:38.000But none of these things are working, no matter how you measure it.
02:46:29.000They produce the stuff, Europe buys it.
02:46:31.000So, if Europe says, we're not going to buy your food and energy...
02:46:35.000I mean, in what way, in what conceivable way is this going to hurt the Russians?
02:46:38.000They say, oh, okay, well, I guess we have all this food and energy now.
02:46:43.000Meanwhile, they're being told in the European Union, hey, remember, put on a sweater if it gets cold, because there's no heat, because there's no gas, because we get all our gas from Russia.
02:46:51.000And hey, maybe try eating lentils instead of meats, because there's no meat.
02:47:42.000When they have a deficit, they pay for it themselves.
02:47:45.000They have reserves and then they pay for the deficit.
02:47:49.000So the idea that the Russian economy will run out of money or something, well in the first place it's not going to happen because the Europeans need the gas.
02:47:58.000They're not going to get the gas from America in liquefied form.
02:48:01.000They're not going to get it from Finland or the Scandinavian countries.
02:48:24.000And if they're not going to get it from Russia they have to buy them and they don't have money either because every European Union country has between a 150 and 200 percent debt to GDP ratio and is running a deficit and is already experiencing record high inflation.
02:48:42.000So you take all that together the sanctions are not working.
02:49:39.000And Reuters, if you don't know, Reuters with Associated Press, they're on a different level.
02:49:43.000If you know how the news ecosystem works, Reuters and Associated Press, they write the stories and every other paper picks them up from Reuters and Associated Press.
02:49:53.000So, Reuters is one of the most important Western news agencies in the world.
02:49:57.000It is more important, you could say, than the New York Times and the Washington Post, in a certain sense.
02:50:36.000I mean, that is just a straight-up lie.
02:50:39.000And so, you know, we think about Russia as a country where media is controlled, and media serves the interest of the state, and they take their liberties with the truth to serve their agenda.
02:51:43.000You know the headline would be, Russian economy in shambles, Putin crippled, running out of cash.
02:51:49.000They can't report that because it's not true.
02:51:51.000What is true is that the ruble recovered, the stock market's booming, prices have stabilized in Russia, and they would not report that if they didn't have to.
02:52:02.000So the way they report that is saying, hey listen, yeah we know.
02:52:08.000We know it's fine in Russia, but you know, listen.
02:52:33.000It may look like they're doing fine, but actually that just goes to show everything's going according to plan.
02:52:39.000And again, they would not report, hey, this, but this, if it wasn't so obvious and if it wasn't so apparent that they had to acknowledge it.
02:53:18.000But again, if you needed any evidence that we're in the right here, because again, I said at the top of the show, it might have been hard to believe maybe a month ago that I was 100% right about all this and I basically knew better than everybody.
02:53:32.000But in case you needed any proof, here we are six weeks into it.
02:55:02.000It really, and it's got nothing to do with Ukraine.
02:55:05.000It's got to do with power projection and whether Washington and NATO has the ability through deterrence and through soft power to control the periphery of their declared borders.
02:55:20.000That's kind of a, you know, that's kind of a complicated sentence there.
02:55:24.000It's sort of a complicated construction, but what I mean by this is
02:55:29.000The United States says, like, well, we get to determine what happens in Ukraine, right?
02:55:33.000I mean, yeah, Ukraine's going to be part of NATO.
02:55:55.000We can determine what happens in any country, no matter how close to a rival power, even if it's a country in close proximity to Russia that does not enjoy a security guarantee.
02:56:17.000And American influence and power in the world is derived from its military and its financial strength, specifically its Navy, as well as its Air Force.
02:56:27.000But also, American power expresses itself in the form of threats and in the form of soft power.
02:56:35.000Yeah, we've got the biggest military, we spend $800 billion because we can, because we have the biggest economy, and we run the seas, and we run international trade, and we have the currency.
02:56:45.000But we can influence what happens in foreign countries, not just because we can invade, but it's a fact that because we can invade, we can threaten, and the threat is good enough.
02:57:29.000We don't want to go to war with Russia.
02:57:31.000So, again, on some sense, part of the American periphery, part of the sort of large umbrella and these concentric circles of American influence, the furthest part of it that we stretch out and can control
02:59:19.000Hey America's not going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine so America won't go to war with China over Taiwan and it won't go to war with Iran over whatever country is there whatever you know if that's going to be they have a base in Syria or there have a presence in Lebanon or something.
02:59:37.000It sends a message to the world that America's promises aren't good.
02:59:42.000America's security guarantee, its soft power isn't good.
02:59:45.000Unless America really wants to defend you, probably their commitments aren't very good.
02:59:52.000And so what's at stake, then, is something like America's credibility.
02:59:56.000And this maneuver undermines America's soft power and its promises and guarantees to the outermost periphery of American empire.
03:00:06.000And it basically draws a hard line and says, American liberalization, American democratization stops here.
03:00:13.000It started in 91, it expanded everywhere, wherever America wanted it, and no one could say no.
03:00:20.000And in February 2022, Putin said no, it stops here.
03:00:58.000And if they win, and America backs off, and Putin determines the peace here, if he dictates terms in Ukraine, and Ukraine is precluded from joining NATO, they're neutralized, they're demilitarized, if they recognize the annexation of Crimea, the separatist regions in Donbass, maybe the creation of Novorossiya,
03:01:21.000That sends a message to the world that America don't make the rules anymore.
03:01:25.000America's not in charge of the whole world anymore.
03:01:28.000All it takes is one person to stand up.
03:01:31.000This is like, this is the equivalent of Putin going into the prison and punching the biggest guy in the prison yard.
03:01:38.000And saying, yeah, you can't mess with me.
03:01:41.000And that sends a message to everybody else.
03:01:43.000Hey, there's a new pecking order here.
03:02:59.000It does have a serious military, and they've had material military support from the West now for eight years.
03:03:05.000Or I should say, lethal support for only about four years, but non-lethal and lethal support for eight years.
03:03:13.000And Russia came in, and despite everything, they're going to dictate what happens in, like, a major country in Europe.
03:03:19.000With major battles and wars, and again, everybody against them, nobody approving of this, and without the United States' permission, they're going to stick their hand in, and it's going to stay there for months under all the pressure, and it's going to come out unscathed, and they're going to swallow up a little bit of territory that they took from the West.
03:03:39.000And then it's a totally different world and we wake up and there's a new country made out of Ukraine.
03:04:26.000So impotently they talk about sanctions, sanctions, we have to do more, war crimes, chemical weapons, and this is squealing, this is squealing and crying out of a dying empire.
03:04:39.000It's just like they're just getting their shit pushed in and they're screaming and wailing and crying, but it's all gonna be over soon.
03:04:48.000You know, more sanctions, buka, civilians, women and children, chemical weapons, and Putin's like, shh, shh, shh.
03:06:04.000That's why you see these lies, and they gotta get all of us on board, because we're gonna eat the cost, and we gotta support this war, and they like to rally around the flag.
03:06:12.000It's also a midterm, so that's, in some sense, a part of it.
03:06:16.000So they want us to rally around the flag against Putin for these higher values.
03:06:20.000We're also going to blame the economic pain on that.
03:06:22.000Oh, everything sucks, but Putin, it's Putin.
03:07:57.000They've charged people for trespassing in the Capitol.
03:08:01.000People have been on restricted grounds on the Capitol.
03:08:04.000So if not inside, well, they're on the steps or they're on a platform they shouldn't have been on.
03:08:11.000And that goes all the way up to very serious felony charges like seditious conspiracy or conspiracy to disrupt the proceeding of Congress, which carry 20 year maximum sentences.
03:08:23.000So you have 800 plus people charged, lots of different kinds of charges.
03:10:19.000They'll talk to the lawyers, and they'll say, so here's what we're gonna do.
03:10:23.000You're gonna plead guilty to this, that, and the other, and we won't add this charge, or we won't charge you with this, you know, we'll drop one of these charges, and we'll recommend, and they'll give you a sweet deal, but then you gotta work for us.
03:10:36.000You're gonna plead guilty, we're gonna cut your sentence, we're gonna knock some charges off, we won't charge you with something, and you gotta do this, and you gotta wear a wire, and you gotta go to work for us, now you're an employee of the federal government.
03:10:59.000You know, if organized crime, if you have a debt with them or, you know, they have a score to settle with you, they make you work for them.
03:11:06.000And they say, hey, well, if you don't work for us, we'll kill you.
03:11:57.000Again, they get the charges knocked off.
03:11:59.000And the Feds get to say, listen, we have 200 convictions.
03:12:03.000And this carries a real weight because if they're claiming there's this big conspiracy going on with January 6th, they could say, look, we've got 200 people that pled guilty.
03:12:11.000We have 200 people that didn't even go to trial.
03:12:17.000What's more is, if they have 200 people, you know, where it's not going to trial, where they get a deal, who knows what they're trading in exchange for that deal?
03:13:17.000He went to trial, and the judge acquitted him on all four charges, found him innocent.
03:13:22.000This is a guy who was inside the Capitol, but the defense argued that because there was this ambiguous conduct from the police, the defendant argues that the police waved him in, they allowed him to enter the Capitol, and so in his mind, he wasn't committing a crime.
03:13:38.000He wasn't, if law enforcement is letting you in, you really can't then call that trespassing.
03:13:43.000That's even according to the statute, I believe.
03:13:46.000in particular, but in a lot of states to be trespassed, you have to be informed you're trespassing.
03:13:53.000You know, and I know like in Florida, because I was trespassed in Florida, when you go to a place in Florida, they have to tell you verbally or in a written way, the police have to say, you are trespassed, you cannot return if you do your trespassing.
03:15:27.000Martin claimed that he thought the police had allowed him into an entrance near the Capitol Rotunda on January 6th.
03:15:34.000McFadden said that based on video of the scene, that assertion was at least plausible.
03:15:41.000And that prosecutors failed to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.
03:15:45.000So he didn't even say, okay, well the cops said you could come in so it's fine.
03:15:48.000He said it's plausible that a person might believe that they were allowed in if the police let them and that's a reasonable doubt.
03:15:58.000So this is the judge, an appointee of Trump.
03:16:01.000He says, people were streaming by and the officers made no attempt to stop them.
03:16:07.000Prosecutors argued that broken windows and blaring alarms should have alerted Martin that he did not have permission to enter.
03:16:13.000But McFadden said the sheer size of the crowd coupled with the conduct of the police undermined that evidence.
03:16:19.000The ruling is a blow to the Justice Department and seems likely to elevate similar defenses from hundreds of other members of the mob who have claimed that they did not know they weren't permitted inside the Capitol and believe that officers had approved their presence.
03:16:33.000Martin, who became the first January 6th defendant to testify in his own defense, said he believed that an officer waved him into the rotunda lobby at about 3 p.m.
03:16:43.000McFadden said that he did not believe that, but that the way the officer briefly interrupted the flow of people and then stepped back to allow it to resume could have given Martin that impression.
03:16:57.000The judge said, I do think the defendant reasonably believed the officers allowed him into the Capitol.
03:17:02.000McFadden stressed that he wasn't criticizing the officers, who he said were outnumbered.
03:17:07.000He said, I think they acted responsibly and reasonably throughout.
03:17:10.000However, the verdict could be viewed as a message from McFadden to prosecutors that pursuing criminal charges against nearly every demonstrator who entered the Capitol was unwise and that resources should have been trained more intensely
03:17:25.000Which is a really important statement.
03:17:27.000So he says, if you just went in, he said that's about as minimal and non-serious, comparably, as you can imagine.
03:17:50.000So he's essentially acquitting, when the judge says that, that's almost an acquittal of everybody.
03:18:16.000People that actually broke stuff, people that actually punched the cops, people that actually were, you know, buying guns and putting strike groups in place and doing all this other stuff.
03:18:27.000That's... and he doesn't have that jurisdiction obviously, but that he said that,
03:18:37.000It says Martin faced charges of... Hang on, where am I?
03:18:45.000Martin faced charges of entering and remaining in a restricted area set up for a Secret Service protectee, which would be the inauguration part of the Capitol, because the inauguration was going to happen three weeks later.
03:18:59.000Disorderly conduct in such an area, disorderly conduct on the Capitol grounds, and parading or demonstrating in the Capitol.
03:19:06.000The judge said that after Martin went inside, he generally milled around and stayed away from areas in the rotunda where some demonstrators were taunting and skirmishing with police.
03:19:16.000McFadden said he seemed quite quiet and orderly.
03:19:22.000McFadden also said that while Martin was in the Capitol, he spent much of the time making videos with his phone, which the judge said wasn't much different than what members of the press were doing.
03:19:31.000McFadden called the first charge against Martin, knowingly entering in and remaining in a restricted area, a close call.
03:19:38.000The judge added, but under our system of justice, close calls go to the defendant.
03:19:43.000McFadden's verdict is the latest in a series of rulings from the Trump-appointed judge that have disappointed prosecutors and broken sharply from colleagues on the U.S.
03:22:26.000I mean, these cops, they're going to let everyone in the Capitol, they're going to fist bump them and everything, and then they're going to hunt these people down and throw them in jail and beat them up in jail and turn ordinary people into terrorists.
03:22:47.000This is a disaster for the Feds because if a lot of people start to say, I'll take my chances in a trial, you can bet a lot of them are going to still be found guilty and have higher prison sentences than they otherwise would have.
03:23:03.000And what is that going to do for the narrative?
03:23:05.000And what is that going to do for the credibility of the DOJ?
03:23:07.000They're going out there saying this is a terrorist campaign, this is open and shut, no one can support this, and you're going to have some people are going to be found guilty, and some people are going to get acquitted, and some are going to be guilty, and some are going to be acquitted.
03:23:21.000It's not going to be as rock solid as they thought.
03:23:23.000And the Feds don't like to go to trial, and they definitely don't like to lose.
03:23:27.000So, certainly when they approach people at plea deals, they're going to find a lot of guys who are going to say, you know what?
03:23:42.000And so, you know, a lot of these plea deals, maybe they're not going to happen if defendants are given the idea that there's hope that they could win in a trial.
03:23:53.000And so it's going to have to change their calculus.
03:23:56.000They were talking about expanding the investigation of people that weren't even in the Capitol.
03:24:00.000They're certainly not going to do that now, and if anything, they'll have to be shrinking the pool of people that they're prosecuting, not expanding it.
03:24:10.000So this is a huge win, and of course it's totally legitimate.
03:24:32.000I wore a suit because I thought I'm going to go to the Trump rally, I'm going to go back to my hotel, and then that's it.
03:24:38.000We're going to party, we're going to go home the next day, and then we'll say, well, Stop the Steal was fun, we lost, let's gear up for the next battle.
03:24:50.000You know what my plans were on January 6th?
03:24:52.000I was going to get dinner with a couple of friends of mine.
03:24:57.000You know, I wasn't even planning to go to the Capitol, but Trump was there on the stage at the Ellipse, and he said, hey, we're all going to go now to the Capitol.
03:25:39.000But my plans that day were to go and get dinner.
03:25:41.000I was going to go and do something with InfoWars.
03:25:43.000We were going to go and shoot an interview or something.
03:25:46.000I was going to go and shoot an interview for a mini-documentary.
03:25:50.000You know, I had plans that whole night.
03:25:52.000The plan wasn't like, occupy the Capitol.
03:25:55.000The plan was go to the rally and then see a bunch of people that were in town and work on other projects because it's over, you know?
03:26:03.000And so anyway, so suffice to say, there was no broad insurrection.
03:26:08.000You know, were there people that planned to breach the Capitol?
03:26:11.000Well, clearly it seems that that was happening, which I didn't know about.
03:26:16.000It seems like some of these groups, like the Oath Keepers,
03:26:19.000And maybe some of the Proud Boys, based on what's been revealed in some of these indictments of Enrique Tarrio and Stuart Rhodes, what's been revealed in just the past few months, it seems like, okay, maybe it was a little more complicated than we thought.
03:26:34.000But as far as most people that were there, listen, there was a Trump rally on the Ellipse.
03:26:38.000The President held the rally with half a million of his supporters, and then people went to the Capitol.
03:26:44.000You know, were there some groups that planned to do more?
03:26:47.000I mean, it seems, according to these indictments, that happened.
03:26:50.000But I think most of these people were there and they perceived it as part of the Ellipse rally and part of a protest.
03:26:58.000And some of them who went inside thought, hey, this is just part of the demonstration.
03:27:04.000You know, some might argue, well, how could you think that?
03:27:07.000Well, when the cops are waving you in, I think you can make the argument that's part of it.
03:27:12.000So, this is all legitimate, and we're finally getting some clarity here, and, you know, they wanted a full investigation, okay, you got it.
03:27:20.000I think we have a very good idea now of what happened.
03:27:23.000It seems like there were some militia groups that planned some things, but by and large, everybody else was there for a protest, and some of them got... I got a hair in my mouth.
03:30:01.000Foy says hi, I'm Nick Fuentes and I'm here to remind you that Popeye's Spicy Chicken Sandwiches are still one of the best rated, most affordable chicken sandwiches you can find.
03:31:24.000But it's for whatever reason, and I'm not making this up, it's like it's an all-white neighborhood, there's a whole stretch of all these chains, and no other chain has all black people working there except the Popeyes.
03:32:24.000I don't endorse that message at all actually.
03:32:31.000Let's see we've got Winston says on Valiant News before your show Tom said the original Japanese version of the Iron Chef was one of the best things to be broadcast.
03:34:12.000BrainsickBlaze says, did you know in Spider-Man 3 when Peter was getting fond fond by Venom's suit, he didn't struggle that much with the door.
03:34:24.000He opened it and closed relatively easily, but when he wasn't evil or somebody else had to struggle to open the door, so the Venom enhances Peter's aggression so much he no longer bothers about dealing with other life issues.
03:34:42.000Okay, I don't really... I don't even know what that means, but thanks.
03:34:47.000Utah, his thoughts on Duke and his friends.
03:38:19.000James says, the curated search results really hit me the other day when I googled, was Olenski installed and then searched the same thing on DuckDuckGo.
03:38:27.000The difference in results was astonishing.
03:38:31.000James says the cure... okay, it's duplicate.
03:38:36.000Spinefish has thoughts on Alex Wodoslawski.
03:38:39.000I don't know, I haven't talked to him in years.
03:38:42.000Kyle says, Nika, so I'm staying at an Airbnb and the host has a Ukraine flag outside.
03:38:47.000It turns out she also hosted some local Dem reps for a party or a meeting and man, the beta male pompous lib accolade energy was flowing aplenty.
03:39:57.000SLST says a great politician died a monarchist.
03:40:01.000I think you'll enjoy listening to this, okay?
03:40:04.000Eddie Van Grams is who are the most prominent examples of controlled opposition on the Republican conservative side.
03:40:10.000Dude, they're all they're all controlled opposition except for Trump and Tucker and end of list and anybody who's friends with me, but that's really it.
03:40:22.000ForTheGhosts says, what do you have to say when Mexicans say Viva La Raza?
03:40:27.000Mexican hatred of whites is absolutely real.
03:41:58.000Kel says, do you think America will collapse or at least some kind of change to the way America looks in the next couple of years and decades?
03:42:07.000No, I don't think it will collapse actually, but I think it will change dramatically.
03:42:12.000You know, this collapse stuff, it just ignores the reality of power.
03:42:18.000No, I don't think that there will be any semblance of a total collapse.
03:42:23.000And you look across the world at other anarchic countries and there's no collapse.
03:42:35.000There's a civil war in Syria, but there's no, there's no like collapse.
03:42:39.000Proxy war, civil war raging for a decade and, you know, what people are describing is happening is not happening.
03:42:46.000The only place where there's real sort of permanent state of anarchy is like Somalia, Libya, but I mean these are just extenuating circumstances.
03:42:55.000I don't, I don't think we'll see anything like that in America, but it will be different.
03:43:01.000Super Lionheart says, dollars with a Z. Yeah, let's go.
03:43:05.000Innate News says, free Yoba fuckswatters and let Nick fly.
03:45:23.000I remember one time I was in Miami and I missed my flight and I got put on the standby list and I was flying from Miami to Chicago okay so you can imagine the clientele there and I was on the standby list with like six other black people and so we would go from there were like five other flights to Chicago that night and we had to go from terminal to terminal
03:45:49.000Or from gate to gate, I should say, waiting for the plane to board and then seeing if we could get on if there was empty seats.
03:45:56.000And every time the black people would freak out.
03:46:36.000I mean they were literally saying we don't fuck around in Florida because everyone carries.
03:46:41.000And the police will not take your side.
03:46:45.000And they were saying like in Chicago, you can like do whatever you want.
03:46:48.000But they were literally saying in Florida, you know, we don't, we blacks don't mess around because white people shoot you and the cops don't care.
03:48:18.000There's something to the... That's why we created such a great society, I think, because we have those ingredients.
03:48:23.000But some of these groups, like I've noticed as time goes on, like they could just lie.
03:48:28.000Man, they could just talk and talk and talk and they just have no shame and they'll just lie to your face and just lie and lie and lie and you know.
03:49:51.000I got on the phone with one of these, somebody was doing work in my house or something, I was just shooting the shit with them, I forget who, some boomer, some friend of my parents, and they were telling me this story about like how they went to Wisconsin and they went to a gift shop and they saw a t-shirt and the t-shirt had a political joke on it and that was the story.
03:50:14.000The story was, I went to Wisconsin, I went in the store, they had a funny political shirt, he told me what the shirt was, and that was the story.
03:50:22.000He said, so I go to this gift shop, and they got a shirt, and hey, get this, it goes, uh, it goes, uh, Obama.
03:50:30.000It said something like, uh, what the fuck was it?
03:50:34.000It said something like, Obama, no job.
03:52:06.000And do you remember that video from the NATO Summit when he's walking with the group of the heads of state and he literally shoves the guy out of the way and pushes to the front and then he does this?
03:52:22.000Do you remember when he was at the NATO Summit and there's this picture where Merkel's in his face and he's just like, he's sitting back like this?
03:52:45.000I love that, you know, he would go to these world leaders, shake their hand, and he would do the yank.
03:52:50.000Which is what he would do in business.
03:52:51.000You know, if you ever watched, even before he became president, he's 6'3", he's a big guy, he would shake someone's hand and then he'd yank them.
03:53:01.000And that was supposed to be like a power move.
03:53:03.000He would grab them, and it was the grab and yank.
03:53:07.000And every time I saw that, I just got such a big kick out of that.
03:53:10.000And then they would start to maneuver.
03:53:13.000Then do you remember Macron squeezed his hand at the press conference?
03:53:17.000And then, the next time they met in Paris, Trump shook Macron's hand while shaking his wife's hand at the same time and wouldn't let go of either of them.
03:54:44.000At one point, you know, there's some things I didn't hear, some things I didn't hear, so I can't be held accountable for them, but what I love about him is he just goes all the way, and I just have to laugh out loud, you know.
03:54:55.000He just said he's so, he's so raunchy, so out there, and yeah, he's just, he's just brilliant.
03:55:02.000He's got such a great sense of humor, and
03:55:06.000and and just uh you know there's this like common sense brilliance he brings to the table he's not he's not flowery he's not uh but you know clearly he's a smart guy so i mean that's great content i really enjoyed and yeah a lot of the simp arguments people should be taking notes on some of this stuff you know i mean he he i feel like it's me him and jimbo that get it i feel like everybody else doesn't get it
03:57:49.000Okay, Catholic Goober says, leftists really think they're gonna be banned from using Amazon SmartFridge or have their Tesla shut off mid-drive.
03:57:57.000Yeah, sure, you're the real resistance.
