Tonight we discuss gay pride month, the Elton John biopic, and the reaction to the Trump administration's new trade deal with Mexico. We also discuss the impact of the proposed border tax on Mexico on the economy and the Mexican government's reaction to it. We also talk about the new immigration law that could affect the border patrol and immigration enforcement in the future. And we finish the show with a story about a gay kissing scene cut out of a new movie that is being made in Russia and the outrage that's going on around the world.

00:24:56.000I feel like we've seen that before, but no, it is officially beginning tomorrow and we'll be discussing tonight a pretty interesting story about this new film.
00:25:05.000That is coming out in Russia, so you guys may know this Elton John biopic came out in America And it didn't get very good reviews.
00:26:09.000And that'll be our feature for tonight.
00:26:12.000We'll also be talking about the reaction to President Trump's planned tariffs on Mexico.
00:26:18.000Of course, yesterday we did the whole show, or a big part of the show, on the announcement that was made to put a 5% tariff on all Mexican goods on June 5th, or rather on June 10th, that's going to go into effect.
00:26:32.000And so we'll talk about some of the reaction from manufacturers, from car companies, from the Mexican government,
00:26:37.000I have to say, I'm actually coming around to it a little bit.
00:26:41.000You know, yesterday I was a little bit down on the tariff announcement.
00:26:44.000I wasn't really pleased with it, and I explained why yesterday.
00:26:48.000You know, when we look at all the options available to the President in the law or personnel decisions that could be made if the law is not sufficient and so on,
00:26:58.000It's not the best way to go about the immigration problem, and I think a lot of people who are immigration hawks, in the know on these kinds of issues, are in agreement on that.
00:27:07.000But you know, as I see the reaction, and I guess this is predictable, you know, and I guess this is maybe why a lot of people came onto the Trump campaign from the beginning.
00:27:17.000It's the people that we hate, and how they're reacting to it, which to me says, you know, maybe it's not so bad after all.
00:27:23.000I see, you know, these big business Wall Street types freaking out about it.
00:27:43.000And this was my chief worry yesterday, is that last month, in April, we had this threat of tariffs on Mexico, and I said, and we went over the timeline, within a week of the announcement of the threat, it went from like, full, complete tariff on all Mexican goods, this week, to like,
00:28:04.000And I said, okay, well if it's a repeat of that, it's embarrassing.
00:28:07.000It's humiliating to see that kind of thing.
00:28:09.000But they have now rolled out a plan where they say that the tariffs will begin at 5% and they will increase rapidly to 25% by October of this year.
00:29:12.000Where, if you remember, I forget exactly when it started.
00:29:15.000It might have been during the government shutdown.
00:29:18.000This veteran started a GoFundMe project where he said, we will privately fund the construction of a border wall using this construction company in North Dakota and we will basically do it ourselves.
00:29:30.000And they set their funding goal at 1 billion dollars.
00:29:42.000And initially there were a lot of reports that this was fraudulent.
00:29:46.000You know there's a report that came out I think a week or two ago that said the person that started this GoFundMe bought a boat and bought a house and he was you know spending all this money on luxurious lavish goods and things and people are not happy.
00:29:59.000Turned out I guess a lot of that isn't true because they put up about a half mile of border wall
00:30:29.000But I have to tell you, it's just kind of disappointing.
00:30:30.000There's just not a whole lot going on, you know?
00:30:32.000I was gonna do... We were gonna talk about that shooting in Virginia, but we just don't know anything about that.
00:30:38.000You know, I guess that's sort of what's tough about this show, is when the news is breaking.
00:30:41.000You know, we did see this mass shooting down in Virginia Beach today, and I guess 11 people were shot, a lot of people injured, some dead.
00:30:50.000It was apparently this disgruntled municipal employee.
00:30:55.000And they don't really know much beyond that, but the shooter's dead.
00:30:57.000The situation is basically, uh, you know, neutralized.
00:31:02.000So I guess we'll have to talk about that on Monday when we have all the details, uh, and we'll see what that turns into.
00:31:07.000I guess we'll have to wait and see what the race of the shooter is and what weapon he used, uh, if we'll even be hearing about that in the news by Monday, right?
00:32:07.000But anyway, that's that's what I got going on by me sort of a rough start to the summer, you know But but anyway, we're gonna get into the news here.
00:32:14.000We'll get into don't really have any extended anecdotes or you know little things Usually I like the little stories, but don't really have much of that going on today.
00:32:23.000So we're gonna dive right in We'll be looking at this private border wall.
00:32:26.000Honestly, I just think it's it's kind of funny.
00:32:39.000It says, quote, former Kansas Secretary of State Chris Kobach, which we know we've talked about him before, and ex-White House chief strategist Steve Bannon unveiled a half-mile stretch of privately funded southern border wall on Friday.
00:32:52.000The two men appeared alongside other high-profile supporters of the We Build the Wall initiative, which is a private initiative to crowdfund the construction of border fencing in areas along the US-Mexico border in New Mexico.
00:33:06.000So, like I said, it's about seven million dollars, half a mile of wall built, and, you know, my problem with this is kind of just in principle it's a little bit silly that the people should have to privately fund the border wall.
00:33:19.000A lot of people look at this and they say, well that's American ingenuity, you know, the MAGA conservatives get stuff done and that's the beauty of America.
00:33:29.000I don't know if that is the beauty of America.
00:33:31.000Is the beauty of America that our government is so broken and dysfunctional that it can't even secure its own borders?
00:33:38.000And so private citizens, even though they're paying a quarter, a third of their income a year in federal taxes, have to go and contribute to a private fund to secure the border wall with their own money?
00:34:03.000Walls going up, you know, and Steve Bannon is there, and Chris Kobach, and... Well, I'll admit, it is an admirable effort.
00:34:10.000You know, if we can get a border barrier constructed, and it's able to make some kind of a difference, or at the very least, if it's able to humiliate Trump, and we'll talk about that angle in a moment, you know, I guess we can say that on their part, it shows that they are competent people.
00:34:26.000It shows that they are true America firsters.
00:34:29.000So I like that, you know, it shows that we have political operators in the country who can get things done.
00:34:33.000So on that front, you know, I'm not going to say that Steve Bannon and Chris Kobach are doing a bad thing, right?
00:34:39.000I'm not saying that it's a bad thing that Wall is going up or that...
00:34:44.000We have operators that are doing this kind of thing.
00:34:46.000That's a testament to the fact that, you know, probably Bannon and Kobach should be in the White House, right?
00:35:06.000...in campaign funds and, you know, countless hours of volunteer work and people voting, people getting the crap kicked out of them at the rallies and in manga hats and...
00:35:16.000And we were supposed to get the president to build the wall with taxpayer money.
00:35:21.000You know, because the taxpayer money, that's $4 trillion a year.
00:35:25.000So to take $17 billion out of $4 trillion, we believed, would have been an appropriate ask.
00:35:33.000We thought that would have been doable, right?
00:35:35.000We thought we'd be able to achieve that pretty simply, pretty easily.
00:35:39.000So to compare $17 billion out of $4 trillion from the public treasury, and we've got the president, we've got two majorities, we've got the Supreme Court, we thought that would have been enough, but lo and behold, we have to contribute now $80 to a GoFundMe campaign.
00:35:54.000They say if every person who voted for Donald Trump, every man, woman, and child, or not child, but you know, minor, 18-year-old, I guess you could say, who voted for Donald Trump in the election, all 63 million of them, if they all gave $80
00:36:07.000We could build a wall with this private fund.
00:36:12.000You know, we had to go out and do the vote and we had to campaign and now just give me $80 and vote for me in 2020 and then... I don't know.
00:36:19.000So it says something to me about the state of the country which is probably not good.
00:37:00.000So Chris Kobach and Steve Bannon outside the White House have built just about 50% of what the Trump administration has built in terms of new wall.
00:38:13.000you know they've raised 20 some million dollars that's kind of a long shot from 1 billion right i mean that that's a long ways away maybe the end game is not necessarily to even uh you know substantially increase the length of the wall it is not to fortify the border it is not actually what it says it is but maybe the silver lining there is
00:38:34.000If there's a privately constructed wall and they're raising funds and they're able to do it cheaply and they're able to do it quickly because it's private as opposed to trying to go through congress and get, you know, executive approval and fight in the courts and all this, maybe at the very least it'll be competition for the president so that, you know, if they end up building more privately funded wall than the government is able to,
00:38:57.000Then what does that say about the efficacy of the Trump administration?
00:39:00.000And then maybe that lights a fire under Trump's butt to say we have to get moving on a real wall.
00:39:06.000You know, not this replacement wall is actually new wall and, well, virtual wall with drones is new wall and we're building a, you know, an ethereal wall with spiritual energy.
00:39:17.000You know, that's what we're going to hear by the end of the year.
00:39:24.000You know, everything that we gained along the way, everything that we learned and gained as people along the way, the real border barrier is my tweets, which are, you know, all these constant finessing and redefining the words to make it such that we're succeeding on the border.
00:39:55.000You know, we spend, like, we spend, like, $50 billion a year in Afghanistan, and, you know, we can't muster, you know, more than $1 billion for a wall.
00:40:39.000Absent any other context of this announcement, we could say that this would be a pretty big deal because Mexico is our number one trading partner now.
00:40:48.000We are Mexico's number one trading partner, so it'd be hard to overstate the effects of this kind of a tariff regime.
00:40:55.000We have also a new announcement from the White House.
00:40:59.000It says, should the demands not be met, which of course is if Mexico does not solve the illegal immigration problem,
00:41:06.000And Trump amended it today also to say also the drug problem is a component there as well.
00:41:11.000The 5% tariff will go into effect on June 10th and then it will rise to 15% on August 1st to 20% on September 1st and then ultimately 25% on October 1st.
00:42:02.000You know, we talked about that last night, and we've talked about that before with the Syria strikes.
00:42:07.000There is a value in saying, we're gonna bomb you, and then bombing a country.
00:42:12.000Even if it doesn't have any strategic importance, even if it's violating national sovereignty, even if it, you know, betrays the spirit of non-interventionism, you know, people get very weird about that kind of thing.
00:42:23.000It has a value in itself to make a promise and to follow through on it.
00:42:29.000You know, if you want to get a good credit rating, if you want to get good interest rates or, you know, good rates on credit in the future, you get a credit card, you buy something, you pay it back,
00:42:41.000Just to prove to credit agencies, just to prove to lenders that yes, you're able to pay back your money.
00:42:46.000It's sort of a similar principle that applies when you're the president, when you're in government.
00:42:50.000So, when it comes to something like a tariff threat, which he made in April...
00:42:54.000He said, I'm going to put tariffs on Mexico next week if they don't solve immigration.
00:43:00.000And over the course of the week, this threat completely evaporated.
00:43:03.000It went from, well, we're going to tariff all goods a certain percentage until they fix immigration to, well, we may tariff at some point some goods if they don't fix the drug problem.
00:43:14.000And then ultimately, too, if they don't fix the drug problem, we'll put tariffs on cars next year.
00:43:20.000And then, you know, you've completely lost it.
00:43:25.000Not only do you not have the outcome that you want, not only does Mexico not take care of the immigration situation or the drug situation, but they don't take you seriously.
00:43:34.000So now when you come out and say, we're gonna have tariffs on Mexico, I think the proper response is to say, well, you know, we'll believe it when we see it.
00:43:41.000Is that going to be like the pullout from Syria, which was promised in December?
00:43:45.000Is that going to be like all the other promises that were made?
00:43:48.000Because if that's the case, then why should anybody take this seriously?
00:44:10.000And when I think you outline some clear and defined dates as opposed to, well, we'll do tariffs at some point, but you say this is the percentage, this is the date, I think people can take it more seriously.
00:44:33.000It says, quote, both the National Association of Manufacturers and the American Automotive Policy Council, which is a lobbying group representing automakers like Ford, General Motors, and Fiat Chrysler, both of those groups, NAM and AAPC, came out strongly against the tariffs which come as the United States-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement languages
00:44:53.000In Congress, according to an analysis from Deutsche Bank, some 35% of all U.S.
00:44:59.000auto parts consist of components manufactured abroad and Mexico's largest imports to its neighbors to the north are auto related.
00:45:06.000So basically the market is not happy about this.
00:45:10.000You see a lot of stock prices are going down.
00:45:12.000If you look at people like Jim Cramer, they're saying that this is going to be catastrophic for the market.
00:45:17.000Just about everybody on Wall Street is not happy with this announcement saying that this is exactly the wrong thing to do and, you know, it's causing a lot of activity.
00:45:26.000And so to me when I see that, I see, number one, if traders are taking it seriously, then we should probably take it seriously.
00:45:33.000And that doesn't necessarily mean that the tariff will go into effect, but it means simply that if they're taking it seriously, then the bluff has already succeeded.
00:45:42.000In the sense that if the important movers and shakers, the operators in the market, or the operators in government, are saying, okay, well he's serious this time.
00:45:50.000Because I don't recall this kind of activity happening when there was that sort of vague and ambiguous threat made in April, which I was concerned it was a repeat of that.
00:46:01.000So I think if they're reacting in this way, if they're not happy, they're freaking out, you see a lot of selling happening, then perhaps the Mexican government will take it seriously.
00:46:14.000It says, quote, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has pushed back at President Donald Trump's move to impose a blanket 5% tariff on all Mexican goods.
00:46:23.000In a pointed letter released Thursday, Lopez Obrador lashed out at Trump for what he described as the U.S.
00:46:29.000President's, quote, turning the United States overnight from a country of brotherly love for immigrants from around the world to a bolted space where they're stigmatizing
00:46:40.000It's so rich hearing this from the Mexican president.
00:47:06.000I actually like to see the tariffs now.
00:47:09.000You know, I didn't like the tariffs last night.
00:47:10.000I said it's an empty threat, and I was mad at Trump, and I've been mad at Trump for the past couple of weeks, but whenever you see a letter like this, I think you do have to remember who the alternative is in America.
00:47:22.000Who else is going to be doing what Trump is doing?
00:47:25.000Even the threat of the tariff, I like.
00:47:27.000That things are sort of moving and being shaken up.
00:47:30.000I like to see the Mexican president, you know,
00:47:34.000I like to see him saying things like, oh well it used to be a country of brotherly love and now you're stigmatizing immigrants and you're denying justice.
00:47:42.000Because isn't it so rich that Mexico abuses us for 50 years.
00:47:48.000Mexico sends us, as Trump famously said, the gangs, the murderers, the rapists.
00:48:13.000And it's not just the immigration, it's the drugs which they send across the border, and it is also the trade abuses, the trade deficits, and the abusive trade practices.
00:48:23.000And for them to turn around now and say, now that you're going to force us to take care of the border crisis, oh, now all of a sudden we're going to cry out.
00:48:30.000You know, Mexico cries out in pain as they strike you.
00:48:38.000So, you know, if that's the reaction from the Mexican president, if that's the reaction from Wall Street, I say perhaps maybe we have to take it a little bit more seriously.
00:48:46.000You know, if Mexico is, you know, kvetching about this, maybe they take it seriously.
00:48:51.000Maybe something will be done about it.
00:48:53.000And if we look at that timetable, if it is indeed implemented in the way, in the manner that they say it's going to be implemented,
00:49:00.000You know, and if we see a 5% tariff go down on June 10th, I'll say, okay, I'm happy with this.
00:49:08.000I think trade is something that is underutilized as a source of American power.
00:49:13.000You know, we've got the number one military.
00:49:14.000People forget we also have the number one economy by a long shot.
00:49:18.000And we can, and should, throw that weight around when it comes to trade.
00:49:22.000And not only do you use trade as a coercive tool to get other countries to do what you want, as we see in China, or as we see in the European Union, or as we see in Mexico, but also it's good for American manufacturing.
00:50:51.000The lowest it's been in like 20 years.
00:50:55.000So if there was any increase in consumer prices, while we've maintained 10 to 15 percent tariffs on over 200 billion dollars with Chinese goods, or tariffs on Canada or Canadian and Mexican steel and aluminum, or tariffs on European goods, we haven't really noticed, right?
00:51:46.000And not only that, but it makes American goods more competitive.
00:51:49.000You know, look, you've got a problem with Mexicans paying their tariff, or they're going to have trouble buying American manufactured goods.
00:52:00.000Support American and domestic production.
00:52:02.000I think that's actually ultimately a good thing, right?
00:52:05.000You should have tariffs on a lot of countries.
00:52:06.000And, you know, I've had people tell me, people from the inside, people in the government, who say, well, you know, really, Mexico isn't the most egregious player in terms of trade.
00:52:16.000China's really the ones that are abusive.
00:52:19.000Mexico, if you look at NAFTA, if you look at the the upcoming USMCA or general trade practices, it is not nearly as predatory as what other countries are doing.
00:52:28.000But nevertheless, I think, you know, these abuses that they have with us with drugs and immigration deserve to be punished, deserves to be punished.
00:52:35.000So, you know, look, like I said yesterday,
00:53:31.000Rain on your parade every time that we see a threat like this, or we see a report like this, it's because there's simply no follow-through.
00:53:37.000You know, Trump shut down the government for a month.
00:53:40.000And we said, no, keep the government shut down.
00:54:17.000We ended up in a worse place than we were before because we gave
00:54:20.000Immunity and we gave an increase to catch and release.
00:54:23.000So if Trump were to lay down the tariffs and go up to 25% and sustain it until Mexico did something meaningful to change the situation at the border, I would say epic.
00:54:45.000So that's the tariffs, but our feature story for tonight is actually about our favorite month of the year, June.
00:54:52.000Pride Month, and Cheeto Man himself has something to say about that.
00:54:58.000He tweeted out today to celebrate the beginning of Pride Month he wrote quote as we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great nation let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide
00:55:18.000Then punish, imprison, or even execute individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation.
00:55:24.000My administration has launched a global campaign to decriminalize homosexuality and invite all nations to join us in this effort.
00:55:37.000You know, our story is really about this thing happening in Russia, but just a bit of a word on the Pride Month in general.
00:55:43.000You know, look, we can do so much better in terms of the Republican Party with
00:55:47.000How we talk about these kinds of issues.
00:55:50.000It seems to me that the Republicans have basically relented on this issue, this issue in particular.
00:55:56.000Fortunately, on some of the other social issues like abortion, we're seeing, I think, a little bit of a revanchist spirit, a little bit more aggressive, much, much stronger than we've seen in the last 10 years, particularly on that issue.
00:56:08.000With LGBT, with the gay stuff, it seems like the Republicans have given up, and the de facto position is
00:56:16.000We're sort of like the Democrats, but a little bit less.
00:56:19.000If the Democrats are all about LGBT, we're like them, but a little bit less.
00:56:25.000We're for it, but a little bit less, but not as enthusiastic.
00:56:58.000The place to look is Viktor Orban, who instead of the sort of begrudging or reluctant, the sort of progressive light position on LGBT, his position is, we as a Christian nation have a right to uphold
00:57:29.000You know, sort of concede on those issues for the sake of, you know, prioritizing issues like immigration, trade, foreign policy, in the sense that if Trump took a more hardline conservative stance on that issue or on social issues like it, would that have been worth it to lose votes where you could get the working class or blue-collar white people or even liberals to come across the aisle on issues like trade, foreign policy, immigration where they're more amenable?
00:58:06.000He, you know, there's this sort of debate about whether did he support abortion in the past or whatever.
00:58:11.000But we were willing to overlook that because immigration is number one.
00:58:14.000And I still believe immigration is the number one priority, but I think that we are not really a strong nationalist conservative party unless we reorient the party on those social issues away from sort of this like losing defensive position of, you know, we're just trying to hold on to as much as the Democrats will allow us to have this sort of moderate right-wing position on gays and abortion and other things.
00:58:39.000We have to completely pivot and offer a completely alternative worldview which is
00:59:17.000You know, or you say we're gonna uphold traditional families.
00:59:20.000You know, something like that I would like to see.
00:59:21.000I think, you know, we should expect that from a Republican president.
00:59:25.000But nevertheless, that's the tweet and that inaugurates the beginning of the Gay Propaganda Month.
00:59:31.000We're gonna look at Russia here and what is going on there.
00:59:33.000I think it's actually kind of instructive about what the real agenda is here.
00:59:38.000So of course you've got this Elton John film Which has come out recently.
00:59:43.000I think no pun intended, which has come out recently in America I think it's already out and it's like I said at the top of the show.
00:59:49.000It wasn't a huge movie It wasn't a huge blockbuster hit, you know, and the critics were not pleased with it I read that they were not very happy with the film because I I didn't even know I didn't know was being released I didn't even know about it until it was like, you know, it was released the day of and
01:00:05.000But in Russia they're having some problems.
01:00:08.000According to Fox News, it says, quote, the Russian distributors of Elton John biopic, I don't know if I'm saying this is a biopic or biopic, I don't know, but the movie Rocketman have cut scenes depicting gay sex and drug taking, according to local film critics.
01:00:23.000At a Moscow preview of the film, which is due to be released across Russia next Thursday, up to five minutes of content had been cut and the closing credits amended to drop references to the children the British rock singer is raising with his partner David Furnish.
01:01:28.000That the local distributor has edited out certain scenes denying the audience the opportunity to see the film as it was intended is a sad reflection of the divided world we still live in and how it can still be so cruelly unaccepting of the love between two people.
01:01:42.000We believe in building bridges and open dialogue and will continue to push for the breaking down of barriers until all people are heard equally across the world.
01:01:50.000I like how aggressive it is, you know.
01:02:47.000It's about, you must submit to this neoliberal, global homo order.
01:02:52.000Because in Russia, are they censoring the film?
01:02:55.000Are they saying that a movie about a guy who's openly gay, you know, one of the biggest gay people in the world, one of the biggest gay celebrities, are saying, are they saying you can't show the film?
01:03:04.000Are they saying you cannot have a film with a gay man or whatever?
01:03:34.000Amnesty International is now going to take this up.
01:03:37.000The people that made the film, which I guess is to be expected, are outraged.
01:03:40.000We're going to have to break down barriers and so on.
01:03:42.000And it just goes to show that no country will be left alone, even if it's against your so-called culture.
01:03:48.000You know, we're okay with multiculturalism right up until you go against these, you know, what E. Michael Jones said, the shock troops, I guess you could say.
01:05:08.000I think Russia's laws, we can maybe put in place something like that in America.
01:05:12.000Maybe that's something, maybe that's a start.
01:05:15.000Maybe that's where we want to look at Russia as an example of a sensible, I think maybe a moderated opposition to this kind of propaganda.
01:05:22.000We're not saying, look, people want to be sick, people want to be degenerates, we're not totally okay with that, but we understand the state of things, we understand who has political power in the world, so all we're going to say is you just can't promote it to children.
01:05:37.000I think that's a great start because that's all the laws in Russia state.
01:05:40.000You know, the way people cry bloody murder about Russia and how they're homophobic and so forth, you would think that they're putting them to death like they are in Saudi Arabia and Iran.
01:05:51.000All they're saying is you just can't propagandize to children.
01:05:53.000I think that's like... what's wrong with that?
01:05:56.000You know, the way that you see... I saw there was an advertisement, and it might have been the United Kingdom or a European country, where it literally depicted a gay three-way between three different races.
01:06:06.000It was like a black guy, a white guy, some mystery meat brown guy, and they were all naked.
01:06:10.000This is on like a public advertisement in a subway, where you see... where there's children, where there's young people, where there's couples, you know, families.
01:06:18.000And maybe we just start off by saying you can't have that.
01:06:22.000But in Russia you see what kind of reaction that that provokes from NGOs, from the international community, the outrage.
01:06:29.000And you see that at the end of the day it was never really about sort of passive acceptance.
01:06:39.000It was always about you must be forced to submit and accept this way of life And your kids are going to accept that your kids may even be like that You know you look at there have been studies done in the United Kingdom where they show that in some schools Something like 20% of the children.
01:06:55.000This is like elementary schools identifies transgender now because of the introduction of this kind of propaganda so that has always been the agenda and
01:07:04.000And I think you could see it very clearly on display.
01:07:06.000So, we'll be watching throughout the month of June, throughout the Pride Month.
01:07:11.000It's sort of funny, while I was preparing this show, I thought to myself, you know, it's called Pride Month.
01:07:17.000Doesn't that kind of tell you something?
01:07:19.000Doesn't that... Isn't it sort of interesting how when we look at abortion, we look at all these different issues, homosexuality, it always comes with the trademarks of the devil?
01:07:33.000Has anybody pointed out all the biblical connotations of all these different social struggles?
01:07:38.000You know, with abortion, they think it's just sort of an accident that the Church of Satan, or the Temple of Satan, is in support of abortion.
01:07:46.000You know, I guess that's just a big coincidence, right?
01:07:49.000And the homosexuals appropriate the rainbow.
01:07:51.000Which, if you remember, this was pretty ominous to me when I realized this for the first time.
01:07:57.000If you've ever read the Bible before, what does the rainbow represent in the Bible?
01:08:01.000After God destroys the world with the flood, and Noah has the ark, and he starts all the animals again, and the human population over again, what does God say is symbolic of his promise, his covenant to Noah to never kill everyone again?
01:08:43.000You know, it's rainbows and it's pride month.
01:08:46.000The month where we are, you know, proud.
01:08:49.000That's the sin, that is, I believe, the gravest sin in the Bible, the root of all other sins, because you're living in rejection of God's law.
01:08:57.000You know, the person who is proud says, I know better, I am, you know, I am smarter, I know better, I have this knowledge of good and evil, and so I can ignore God's plan or God's laws or what's laid out in the Bible.
01:09:10.000And I can choose sin, and I don't even see sin.
01:09:14.000Does anybody think this is an accident?
01:09:16.000Doesn't anybody think that this is all just a big coincidence?
01:09:19.000Time and again, when we look at these things, which are the most heinous evils in these social struggles, you see, time and again, the symbolism.
01:09:28.000You see and hear the same themes, the same words, even from the Bible, from the religion.
01:09:49.000It is not yet June, and already we've got tweets from the President, we've got this battle going on.
01:09:56.000Over the film in Russia and and we'll keep an eye on it, but it's just it's reflective of where we are You know, we really are living in a pretty paused up society that that's the case But we're gonna take a look at our super chat here right up against the 45-minute mark here So we'll take a look and we'll see what you guys are saying about all this We would love to hear from the unwashed masses.
01:11:37.000I'll just be behind this desk, browsing poll, looking for stories when there's nothing to talk about, giving you the latest, reading the superchats.
01:11:50.000You know, no ice cream cones, no washing the car, no running through the sprinkler, no water balloon fights, no water gun fights, no Nerf gun fights, no wrestling, no smash, no smashing with your friends, Super Smash Brothers, none of that, nope, nope, just a working life for me, just documents, manila envelopes, papers,
01:12:50.000John Q Public says, Hey Nick, one reason for Italians being at the top of the totem pole that you haven't mentioned is that they're surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea with their long history of sea-related navigation, commerce, warfare, and engineering.
01:13:02.000Italians have built up a perennial tradition which I call their Mediterranean Sea.
01:13:09.000Their sea as in a body of water and their guile.
01:13:15.000Which, sorry kid, truth is the game was rigged from the start.
01:17:10.000I'm not saying necessarily you're going to use it for degenerate purposes, but you know, you could send things that, you know, if you were to text somebody a photo of you doing something embarrassing, like maybe you're making a funny face, you don't want that person to save that picture forever.
01:17:24.000And it's, you know, it's out there permanently.
01:17:27.000So things like Snapchat, Instagram, you know, the encrypted services is meant to signal
01:17:51.000People are finding out they don't like that very much because now you know the people that were on Facebook when they're in middle school are going up and they're like oh I said fag in middle school I said the n-word in middle school or I was just cringy in middle school and it's gonna hurt me later on so the uh you know
01:18:09.000The times are changing now, I think, to accommodate for that, where you get Snapchat, Instagram stories, you know, where it's disappearing messages.
01:18:16.000I think Facebook does something similar, moving towards something similar.
01:18:20.000Signal, the blockchain, I think is a step in that direction.
01:19:18.000I mean, you gotta... Again, you have to have a...
01:19:22.000Sense of perspective with this, right?
01:19:24.000I mean, ultimately, we can understand the predicament that the politicians are in these days, and we can also recognize that these things happen in degrees, right?
01:19:35.000You could say that, sure, the president gives lip service to the homosexual stuff, but very good on abortion, you know, and what would be preferable, right?
01:19:44.000A Democrat or a Republican in that case.
01:21:25.000You know, we could say that Sam Hyde's humor is funny because it is subtle, because it is implicit, you know, or it's over-the-top or whatever, but it's not just, uh, you know, trying to be shocking.
01:21:36.000It's not just trying to be controversial.
01:21:38.000You know, if you watch Million Dollar Extreme or World Peace, the genius of it is there is an underlying message, you know, or there is, uh, you know, there's there's a comedic
01:21:49.000I would say that's not the best way to articulate it, but you understand.
01:21:52.000It's not the same as you know somebody going on TRS and saying she boone and the n-word and somebody look you know this black bird looks like a rhombus You know maybe that was funny when you're in seventh grade.
01:22:03.000Maybe that was funny when you're 10 years old, but um This is not funny, and if you're if you're smart you kind of get this
01:22:12.000There's really not much else to be said there.
01:22:14.000It's just the NPC question continues to be among the most important questions.
01:22:24.000And NPC got acquired, you know, got taken over by MAGA people and it lost its meaning.
01:22:30.000But originally what the NPC meme meant
01:22:33.000Which to me is so true, is that the vast majority of people do not possess internal monologue.
01:22:39.000And even if they don't possess internal monologue, they're not like thinking, they're not, they're not really conscious, they're not really all the way there.
01:22:46.000Maybe it's an IQ thing, I don't really know what you would call it, but probably the majority of the population is just, they're just different, you know, they're just different.
01:22:54.000And they are perhaps sub-rational in some ways.
01:26:16.000That's how he planned to fund the border wall.
01:26:19.000If you read his white paper on immigration, I think it was in the white paper that he released during the campaign, he said, how are we gonna fund the border wall?
01:26:59.000I don't know I guess that's just the compromise you got to make that's the that's the deal with the devil you got to accept the Zionist backing or funding and you have to pass stuff like that to be effective you know maybe that's the deal that was made but I'm not privy to all the internal politics so I'll say I don't like that but I like other things that he does.
01:27:30.000Well, thanks Yeah, sorry to hear that.
01:27:32.000Sorry to hear that I Don't know what else to say, you know, the our Nordic brothers up north are Alpen it friends.
01:27:42.000That's a shame but that's a story across the world, you know, or at least across the Western world welfare state on the verge of collapse and
01:27:50.000And it's funny because, you know, people point to Sweden like it's working.
01:27:54.000Even people on our side will point to people who identify as socialists on our side.
01:27:58.000They'll say, well, what about the Scandinavian countries?
01:28:01.000That's the argument from everybody in favor of social democracy or an expanded state in the role of social welfare.
01:28:10.000People don't realize that, you know, in Sweden and Norway,
01:28:14.000In a lot of these Scandinavian countries they had to scale back their welfare programs substantially because of abuse, because of waste, because of, you know, a lot of problems they have, so...
01:29:24.000The only reason why somebody might oppose that is because, you know, well, you just have this irrational fear, phobia, homophobia, you know, or you have this irrational prejudice.
01:29:34.000And sure, yeah, a lot of people do, I think.
01:29:36.000A lot of people do, or are motivated by the obvious instinctual revulsion to homosexuality, but it's motivated, you know, that instinct, that intuition is there for a reason, you know?
01:29:52.000Yeah, they're getting on my nerves too, because it's everywhere and it's just so over the top, you know?
01:29:58.000Maybe if we could have frozen time in 2007, if we could have frozen that situation in 2007, where it's this sort of reluctant detente, where it's like, okay, we're not gonna beat the shit out of you.
01:30:11.000Okay, but we're not really happy with what you're doing.
01:30:14.000If we could freeze time, if we could turn back time and freeze it there, maybe that's unacceptable.
01:30:20.000I think everybody would say that would be where we would be okay with the situation.
01:30:28.000It went from there to open acceptance, and maybe that's a little too far for me.
01:30:33.000And then it turned into drag queens, drag queens everywhere, and fake nails, and wigs, and now it's males doing makeup, and everyone's, everyone's androgynous now.
01:30:42.000Now everybody's androgynous, and everybody's somewhere in the middle, and you know, and they're fluoridating the water, our precious bodily fluids, you know, and all this.
01:31:23.000Reddit says SJWs are livid over Street Fighter character designs.
01:31:27.000They say the female characters are too revealing.

01:40:48.000Yeah, but uh, if you don't have a good shot of going to heaven, what difference does it make?

01:42:11.000So I ended up binge watching six hours, probably longer, of all the movies, and the commercials make them longer, so.
01:42:20.000Yeah, pretty, uh, pretty, pretty much a bra moment, but, uh, you know, sometimes you gotta just binge watch the Hunger Games movies, you know?
01:42:52.000Well, I mean, my ancestors are from Mexico, you know?
01:42:56.000So maybe many generations down the line they were from Spain, but it's Mexican, you know?
01:43:02.000My father's half Mexican, his father's Mexican, and they're from Mexico, you know?
01:43:09.000Like five generations back they're from Mexico, but they're from well actually four generations back is from Texas You know I think it's my father's great-grandmother or my father's grandmother my father great-grandmother is from Texas And I think I don't know how long they were in Texas.
01:43:25.000There's no documentation You know I have never gone on like ancestry.com to see you know when people it's all just like
01:43:33.000We're not like Anglos where we keep here's the family history book and here's the dates and everything.
01:43:37.000It's all based on like half-remembered things I hear from my family.
01:43:41.000But I know that it was like at least four or five generations back that they were in Texas.
01:43:45.000I think they had been in Texas for a while and then of course they came from Mexico.
01:43:50.000Historically, you know, if you go way back they're from Mexico and then from Spain obviously hundreds of years ago.
01:44:57.000I don't know, but I guess it only covered Ireland, right?
01:44:59.000So not really, uh... Not really what we're talking about.
01:45:03.000A lot of people give me a hard time about the Roman stuff, but you know, I don't think Ireland ever had anything coming close to the Romans, but anyway.
01:45:10.000Sky says, hey Nick, could you give me some advice?
01:45:12.000I went to the doctor this morning and he said my knee growed.

01:49:46.000So, yeah, it's practice, but it's also just raw ability, just raw talent, you know?
01:50:45.000Video Game Snake says Orban is a money grubber sold out to the EU and betrayed Salvini in the EU Parliament when he tried to form a populist coalition only out for himself.

01:56:30.000Cassie Dillon awarded me a gift card to that bar, which I think I still have.
