America First - Nicholas J. Fuentes - GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IMMINENT??? Elon FORCES Republicans To CANCEL Budget Deal | America First Ep. 1438

00:00:02.000 Holy night, the stars are brightly shining.

00:00:09.000 It is the night of the dear Savior's birth.

00:00:17.000 Long may the world in sin and error piding, till he appeared and the soul felt its word.

00:00:32.000 A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious war.

00:00:47.000 Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices, O night divine, O night when Christ was born.

00:01:12.000 O night, O night divine.

00:01:19.000 Holy night, O night divine!

00:01:29.000 So let my light of the stars, sweetly gleaming, here came the wiser The King of kings laid us in lowly manger, in all our trials born to be our friend.

00:01:58.000 Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices, O night divine, O night when Christ was born.

00:02:23.000 O night, O holy night, O night divine.

00:02:49.000 Silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city.

00:02:56.000 And then nowadays, I am so upset that the things we did and the things we fought for and the boys that died for it.

00:03:11.000 it's all gone down the drain.

00:03:14.000 Our country's gone to hell in a handbasket.

00:03:19.000 We haven't got the country we had when I was raised.

00:03:23.000 Not at all.

00:03:24.000 Nobody will have the fun I have.

00:03:27.000 Nobody will have the opportunity I have.

00:03:31.000 It's just not the same.

00:03:34.000 Jesus is the way and the life and the King of Israel.

00:03:40.000 We just lead with love.

00:03:44.000 We're really at a crossroads here.

00:03:47.000 Look around you.

00:03:48.000 It's drag queens in schools. 1.00

00:03:50.000 It's 18-year-olds joining OnlyFans.

00:03:52.000 It's the filth on TikTok.

00:03:54.000 It's this country not having a border.

00:03:56.000 It's the idea that our kids and we, this generation, are never going to own anything.

00:04:03.000 Think about it.

00:04:04.000 Never making an income to support a family.

00:04:06.000 Never being able to have a family.

00:04:09.000 People being corrupted before they're even a teenager by things on their phone.

00:04:15.000 Sick addiction to technology.

00:04:18.000 The future is so bleak, but that has changed the calculation.

00:04:26.000 God is using me.

00:04:27.000 He's breaking me down, removing all of the, you know, richest person, all of this, so I can serve him.

00:04:35.000 I think they've been extremely unfair to you.

00:04:37.000 Who is they, though?

00:04:39.000 We can't tell you who they is, can we?

00:04:42.000 There is no future if we do nothing now.

00:04:45.000 There is nothing to lose.

00:04:47.000 People that are scrambling, trying to protect their ever-shrinking share of what they have are foolish.

00:04:55.000 It's all going.

00:04:56.000 It's all going away.

00:04:58.000 This country is being ripped apart and raped and looted.

00:05:02.000 We're being slowly poisoned and, in some cases, quickly murdered and assassinated.

00:05:09.000 And we're killing ourselves every day, inadvertently, with the kinds of things that we eat and breathe and drink and see.

00:05:16.000 People have got to start to radically begin to obey their conscience and tell the truth and do the right thing.

00:05:24.000 People have got to start to get courageous.

00:05:27.000 And this is the time for everybody to turn and look to God And to pray and to ask for strength and to ask for wisdom to get through this time and to transform and sanctify this country.

00:05:41.000 And the alternative is that there will be no country.

00:05:45.000 Is it really only as big as low gas prices?

00:05:49.000 Is it really only so big as bringing inflation and gas prices and the corporate tax rate back down?

00:05:56.000 It's not about waiting for someone to come in and change the policy and make it better.

00:05:59.000 It's a personal decision that we all have to make to become soldiers of Christ.

00:06:05.000 I want to be a dictator.

00:06:30.000 And you know why I want to be a dictator?

00:06:35.000 Because I want a wall, right?

00:06:40.000 I want a wall, and I want to drill, drill, drill.

00:06:43.000 My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.

00:07:00.000 It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.

00:07:15.000 And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.

00:07:22.000 Why are you called Mommy Malcolm?

00:07:25.000 I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Griper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement.

00:07:47.000 through an increasing amount of activism are really going to ensure the future America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics.

00:08:07.000 These interests have rigged our political and economic system for their exclusive benefit.

00:08:15.000 Believe me, it's for their benefit.

00:08:19.000 My message is that things have to change, and they have to change right now.

00:08:28.000 My sole and exclusive mission is to go to work for you.

00:08:35.000 It's time to deliver a victory for the American people.

00:08:40.000 We don't win anymore, but we are going to start winning again.

00:08:46.000 So to every parent who dreams for their child, and every child who dreams for their future, I say these words to you tonight.

00:08:59.000 I am with you, I will fight for you, and I will win for you.

00:09:06.000 I'm not supposed to be here tonight.

00:09:22.000 I'm supposed to be here.

00:09:23.000 I want this show for myself.

00:09:27.000 I'm doing drugs in our house.

00:09:33.000 My voice is nothing but I scream in the fire.

00:09:40.000 I stretch my hair but my cup just goes up.

00:09:46.000 I'm going to go to the bathroom.

00:10:43.000 Thank you.

00:11:13.000 Thank you.

00:11:43.000 O come, O come, Emmanuel, Emmanuel, to you.

00:12:05.000 To free your captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of Rejoice,

00:12:36.000 O Israel To you shall come, Emmanuel Captivum

00:13:08.000 solvii Israel Qui gemet in exilio Privatus defilio Gaude!

00:13:34.000 Thou dead, Emma, and you have.

00:13:42.000 Nasi tur pro ti Israel 0.96

00:13:49.000 Thank you.

00:14:19.000 Thank you.

00:14:35.000 how I do it Gaudet,

00:14:53.000 Gaudet, Emmanuel Gaudet, Emmanuel I need that joy,

00:15:21.000 joy, joy, joy down in my heart Down in my heart to stay I need that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart Down in my heart to stay Saying to me is like, this is probably pretty cool for you.

00:15:41.000 I'm like, yeah, it is.

00:15:43.000 I'm like, yeah, yeah, it is.

00:16:13.000 I'm like, yeah, yeah, it is.

00:16:43.000 Letting you down.

00:16:44.000 A new droiper war.

00:16:49.000 I do this shit for my brothers.

00:17:02.000 We do this shit for each other.

00:17:04.000 Let's go.

00:17:05.000 The courageous fallen!

00:17:06.000 The anguished fallen!

00:17:08.000 Their lives have meaning because we, the living, refuse to forget them!

00:17:12.000 And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us!

00:17:18.000 Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world!

00:17:24.000 My soldiers push forward!

00:17:26.000 My soldiers scream out!

00:17:28.000 My soldiers reach!

00:17:30.000 You can't go back to the past.

00:17:49.000 That's what people always say, isn't it?

00:17:51.000 They say, can we really go back?

00:17:52.000 And the answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right when you're left-wing, the answer is no.

00:17:59.000 We're never going back.

00:18:00.000 It's gone.

00:18:01.000 It's gone.

00:18:02.000 All of that is gone.

00:18:03.000 But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead.

00:18:08.000 Because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.

00:18:13.000 Jesus Christ is our present now.

00:18:16.000 And Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth.

00:18:21.000 We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet earth. 0.98

00:18:32.000 Come on.

00:18:33.000 We love everybody.

00:18:35.000 And we want people to confirm really more than anybody.

00:18:39.000 But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in real people. 0.79

00:18:49.000 The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.

00:18:54.000 The mission is to create a Christian future in our time.

00:18:59.000 The only way we're going to do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do.

00:19:07.000 The only way that we're going to make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian. 0.96

00:19:13.000 It's the only way.

00:19:14.000 We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.

00:19:19.000 We have to want it more than they do.

00:19:22.000 because if there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny, then nothing can stop us and nothing will.

00:19:36.000 Thank you.

00:20:42.000 This night we pray our lives will show history we have.

00:21:11.000 Each child still knows this night.

00:21:17.000 We pray our lives will show this dream he had.

00:21:25.000 His strong still knows this night only where our hearts here show.

00:21:36.000 His sweet hand, his strong still does.

00:21:52.000 His strong still does.

00:21:58.000 On his side, on his side, on his merry Christmas night. on his merry Christmas night.

00:22:18.000 On this Merry Christmas night.

00:22:27.000 On this Merry Christmas night.

00:22:57.000 On this Merry Christmas night.

00:23:27.000 On this Merry Christmas night.

00:23:57.000 On this Merry Christmas night.

00:24:09.000 Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:24:11.000 But the prettiest sight to see is the holly that will be on your own front door.

00:24:19.000 A pair of hop-along boots and a pistol that shoots is the wish of Barney and Ben.

00:24:24.000 Dozzle will talk and we'll go for a walk is the hope of Janice and Jen.

00:24:29.000 And mom and dad can hardly wait for school to start again.

00:24:33.000 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere you go.

00:24:41.000 There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well.

00:24:46.000 The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow.

00:24:49.000 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

00:24:54.000 Soon the bells will start.

00:24:58.000 And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing right within your heart.

00:25:07.000 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

00:25:25.000 Soon the bells will start.

00:25:28.000 And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you sing right within your heart.

00:25:37.000 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

00:25:40.000 Like Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas, Christmas.

00:25:46.000 My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs My love has got no power, he's got his strong beliefs My love has got no fame, he's got his strong beliefs My love has got no money, he's got his strong beliefs Want more and more, people just want more and more Freedom and love, what he's looking for

00:26:13.000 Want more and more, people just want more and more Freedom and love, what he's looking for What he's looking for.

00:26:21.000 Free from desire.

00:26:23.000 Mind and sense is purified.

00:26:26.000 Free from desire.

00:26:27.000 Mind and sense is purified.

00:26:29.000 Free from desire.

00:26:31.000 Mind and sense is purified.

00:26:33.000 Free from desire.

00:26:36.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:26:54.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.

00:27:00.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.

00:27:05.000 Treat the word impossible As nothing more than motivation.

00:27:11.000 The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say.

00:27:18.000 We must always remember that we share one home and one glorious destiny.

00:27:26.000 We all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

00:27:30.000 We all salute the same great American flag.

00:27:35.000 Our best days are yet to come.

00:27:59.000 I am officially running for president of the United States.

00:28:06.000 We need a leader.

00:28:10.000 I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.

00:28:23.000 It can be wonderful if you have smart people, but we have people that are stupid.

00:28:29.000 The American dream is dead, dead.

00:28:38.000 But if I get elected president, I will bring it back.

00:28:43.000 Bigger and better and stronger than ever before.

00:28:57.000 The American dream.

00:29:00.000 And we will make America great again.

00:29:37.000 We will make America great again.

00:29:45.000 And we will make America great again.

00:29:52.000 We will make America great again.

00:30:08.000 We want to make America great again.

00:32:28.000 The first Noel

00:32:45.000 The angels did say Was to certain poor shepherds In fields In fields As they lay In fields Where they lay In fields Where they lay They were keeping Their sheep On the fields Where they lay They were keeping Their sheep On the fields Where they lay

00:33:12.000 a cold winter's night That was so deep The

00:34:42.000 The King of Israel is the King of Israel.

00:35:12.000 I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play And mild and sweet their songs repeat Of peace on earth,

00:35:33.000 goodwill to men And the bells are ringing Like a choir they're singing In my heart I hear them Peace on earth,

00:35:59.000 goodwill to men And in despair I bowed my There is no peace on earth, I say.

00:36:17.000 For hate is strong and marks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men But the bells ring in Like a choir singing Does anybody hear this?

00:36:47.000 For hate is strong and marks Like a choir singing Does anybody hear this?

00:36:48.000 He's taller than a little to man Then ring the bells, no loud and deep God is not dead nor does he sleep The wrong shall fail, the right prevail

00:37:17.000 The peace on earth, good will to man Then ring the singing on its way The world revolved from night to day

00:37:39.000 A voice, a chime, a chant of life The peace on earth, good will to man And the bell bell ringing Do you hear the bells ringing?

00:38:03.000 Like a choir that's the end With our hearts we'll hear them Peace on earth, good will to man Do you hear the bells ringing?

00:38:27.000 Do you hear the bells ringing?

00:38:29.000 Like the angels singing.

00:38:35.000 Open up your heart and hear it.

00:38:40.000 Peace, honor, goodwill to know Peace, honor Peace, honor Peace, honor Peace, honor

00:39:05.000 Goodwill to know Peace, honor, honor Goodwill to know Peace, honor, goodwill to know goodwill to Silver bells, silver bells, silver bells.

00:39:31.000 It's Christmas time in the city.

00:39:35.000 It's Christmas time in the city.

00:40:05.000 It's Christmas time in the city.

00:40:35.000 It's Christmas time in the city.

00:41:05.000 It's Christmas time in the city.

00:41:18.000 Years from now, some of them may look back and ask themselves whether they've made the right choice, whether they've made the most of the opportunities they've been given.

00:41:29.000 Together we have the same mission.

00:41:33.000 Over the course of your life, You will find that things are not always fair.

00:41:38.000 You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted.

00:41:47.000 But you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight.

00:41:53.000 Never, ever, ever give up.

00:41:57.000 Don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right.

00:42:03.000 Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy.

00:42:09.000 And the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face.

00:42:15.000 In your hearts are inscribed the values of service, sacrifice, and devotion.

00:42:20.000 Now you must go forth into the world and turn your hopes and dreams into action.

00:42:28.000 America has always been the land of dreams because America is a nation of true believers.

00:42:35.000 When the pilgrims landed, At Plymouth, they prayed.

00:42:41.000 When the founders wrote the Declaration of Independence, they invoked our Creator four times.

00:42:49.000 Because in America, we don't worship government, we worship God.

00:42:54.000 It is why our currency proudly declares, in God we trust.

00:43:00.000 And it's why we proudly proclaim that we are one nation under God.

00:43:06.000 The story of America is the story of an adventure that began with deep faith, big dreams, and humble beginnings.

00:43:20.000 The next generation of American leaders.

00:43:23.000 Never, ever give up.

00:43:27.000 There'll be times in your life you'll want to quit.

00:43:31.000 Never quit.

00:43:32.000 Never stop fighting for what you believe in and for the people who care about you.

00:43:38.000 Carry yourself with dignity and pride.

00:43:42.000 Demand the best from yourself.

00:43:44.000 The more people tell you it's not possible, That it can't be done the more you should be absolutely determined to prove them wrong.

00:43:55.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

00:44:06.000 Relish the opportunity to be an outsider the more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong.

00:44:14.000 The more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

00:44:20.000 You must keep pushing forward.

00:44:23.000 And always have the courage to be yourself.

00:44:29.000 America is better when people put their faith into action.

00:44:35.000 Pray to God.

00:44:37.000 And follow his teachings.

00:44:39.000 Today, each of you begins a new chapter as well.

00:44:44.000 When your story goes from here, it will be defined by your vision, your perseverance, and your grit You will build a future where we have the courage to chase our dreams no matter what the cynics and the doubters have to say.

00:45:03.000 You will have the confidence to speak the hopes in your hearts and to express the love that stirs your souls.

00:45:12.000 As long as you have pride in your beliefs, courage in your convictions, and faith in God, Then you will not fail.

00:45:24.000 But as long as America remains true to its values, loyal to its citizens, and devoted to its creator, then our best days are yet to come.

00:45:39.000 *music*

00:46:08.000 *music* May God bless the United States of America.

00:46:18.000 And I just want to let you know that God blesses you.

00:46:23.000 And I want to just say you are special in every way.

00:46:29.000 God bless you and God bless America.

00:46:31.000 Thank you very much.

00:46:32.000 Thank you so much, everybody.

00:46:42.000 Can I just say, are you trusting Brian?

00:46:46.000 Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American people.

00:47:11.000 The Washington establishment and the financial and media corporations that fund it exist for only one reason, to protect and enrich itself.

00:47:22.000 The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election.

00:47:26.000 For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interest, they partner with these people that don't have your good in mind.

00:47:37.000 Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven't seen before.

00:47:45.000 This is not simply another four-year election.

00:47:48.000 This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government.

00:48:00.000 The political establishment That is trying to stop us is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals, massive illegal immigration, and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry. 0.72

00:48:19.000 The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico, China, and other countries all around the world.

00:48:30.000 It's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities.

00:48:48.000 This is a struggle for the survival of our nation and this will be our last chance to save it.

00:48:56.000 This election will determine whether we're a free nation or whether we have only the illusion of democracy but are in fact controlled by a small handful of global special interests rigging the system and our system is rigged.

00:49:10.000 This is reality.

00:49:12.000 You know it, they know it, I know it, and pretty much the whole world knows it.

00:49:19.000 The thing that said, take a look at what happened.

00:49:22.000 These are people who work hard, but no longer have a voice.

00:49:39.000 I am your voice.

00:49:42.000 I am your voice.

00:50:12.000 Just like the ones I used to know.

00:50:19.000 Where the treetops glisten and children listen to hear.

00:50:34.000 sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I have May your days

00:51:04.000 be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Like 1.00

00:51:37.000 the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten And children listen To hear sway bells in the smoke Of

00:52:10.000 a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your

00:52:40.000 Christmases beware To do what I hear when I need Said the night wind to the little land Do you see what I see?

00:53:11.000 Way up in the sky, little land.

00:53:16.000 Do you see what I see?

00:53:20.000 A star, a star Dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear?

00:53:47.000 Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy Do you hear what I hear?

00:53:56.000 A song, a song, high above the tree With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king Do you know what I know?

00:54:22.000 In your palace warm mighty king Do you know what I know?

00:54:31.000 A child, a child, shivers in the cold Let us bring him silver and gold Let us bring him silver and gold Said the king to the people everywhere Listen to what I say Pray for peace

00:55:01.000 people everywhere.

00:55:04.000 Listen to what I say.

00:55:09.000 The child, the child, sleeping in the night.

00:55:14.000 He will bring us goodness and light.

00:55:18.000 He will bring us goodness and love.

00:55:27.000 He will bring us goodness and love.

00:55:57.000 Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away.

00:56:07.000 This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.

00:56:15.000 Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away.

00:56:25.000 This year to save me from tears, I'll give it to someone special.

00:56:33.000 Special, special.

00:56:41.000 Once bitter and twice shy.

00:56:57.000 I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye.

00:57:02.000 Tell me, baby, do you recognize me?

00:57:06.000 Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me.

00:57:10.000 Happy Christmas.

00:57:12.000 I wrapped it up and sent it with a gift.

00:57:15.000 I love you.

00:57:18.000 I meant it.

00:57:20.000 Now I know what a fool I've been.

00:57:23.000 But if you kiss me now, I know you'd fool me again.

00:57:28.000 Last Christmas, I gave you my heart.

00:57:32.000 But the very next day, you give it away.

00:57:37.000 This year, to save me about two years, I'll give it to someone special.

00:57:44.000 Special Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day you gave it away.

00:57:55.000 Please hear, to save me your tears I'll give it to someone special, special Oh, oh, baby

00:58:09.000 Crying around friends with tired eyes I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice 1.00

00:58:31.000 My God, I thought you were someone to rely on Me, I guess I was a shoulder to cry on A face on a lover with a fire in his heart A man in the cover, but you told me a Ooh, ooh, ooh

00:58:52.000 ooh, now I've found the real love You'll never fool me again Last Christmas I gave you my heart But the very next day you gave it away For this year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special Last Christmas I gave you my heart I'll

00:59:46.000 give it to someone.

00:59:50.000 Special.

00:59:52.000 What's this?

00:59:53.000 What's this?

00:59:55.000 For so long Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

01:00:15.000 Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

01:00:45.000 The more that a broken system tells you that you're wrong, the more certain you should be that you must keep pushing ahead.

01:00:56.000 Because it's the outsiders who change the world and who make a real and lasting difference.

01:01:02.000 Nothing worth doing ever came easy.

01:01:06.000 Treat the word impossible as nothing more than motivation.

01:01:13.000 The future belongs to the people who follow their heart no matter what the critics say.

01:01:20.000 We must always remember that we share one home And one glorious destiny.

01:01:27.000 We all bleed the same red blood of patriots.

01:01:32.000 We all salute the same great American flag.

01:01:36.000 Our best days are yet to come.

01:01:40.000 Are you an instant?

01:02:22.000 My own narrative is not one of some sudden, looming bolt of lightning out of the blue.

01:02:27.000 It was a slow and steady, unrelenting stream of blips and blinks, glimmers and glares, low beams and high beams of light, some of which I did not want to see.

01:02:42.000 And then finally, a point of no return reckoning.

01:02:49.000 Why are you called Mommy Malcolm?

01:02:52.000 I think it was because I fiercely came out during the Griper Wars of 2019 when so many of these brave young men were on college campuses challenging the likes of Zio Schill, Dan Crenshaw, questioning him about his undying loyalty and, of course, defending Nick Fuentes and so many of the stars of the burgeoning America First movement who, through an increasing amount of activism, are really going to ensure the future and the success of that movement.

01:03:22.000 Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Donald Trump, were all cut from the same cloth, and that cloth is very, very large.

01:03:28.000 It's not too big, is it?

01:03:30.000 Hey.

01:03:34.000 Kill yourself.

01:03:36.000 It's wrong, isn't it?

01:03:47.000 It feels so right.

01:03:48.000 It's a deal.

01:03:49.000 I put together some really impressive deals.

01:03:57.000 I like that.

01:04:03.000 Go big or go home.

01:04:07.000 Donald Trump.

01:04:11.000 You know, you're really beautiful.

01:04:21.000 A woman who looks like that has to have an official set. 1.00

01:04:28.000 It's the done.

01:04:31.000 Oh, my God.

01:04:33.000 Hey, Donald.

01:04:38.000 I told you you were great, though.

01:04:40.000 Thank you very much.

01:04:41.000 I'm totally into special.

01:04:43.000 Listen, are you begging here?

01:04:48.000 Huh?

01:04:50.000 Are you?

01:04:52.000 What are you doing?

01:04:53.000 You're just mad.

01:04:55.000 I'm calling you this.

01:04:56.000 Look at this right here on the street.

01:04:56.000 No.

01:05:01.000 It's Donald Trump.

01:05:02.000 What are you, what?

01:05:03.000 What are you doing?

01:05:19.000 I wonder what Trump's game is this time.

01:05:25.000 Trump's got a new day.

01:05:26.000 Hey, come get a new deal.

01:05:27.000 What's your game, Donald?

01:05:32.000 Heard about Trump's new deal?

01:05:33.000 What?

01:05:34.000 Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump.

01:05:42.000 That's right.

01:05:44.000 Trump, there's a new game.

01:05:48.000 What is it?

01:05:49.000 Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. Mr. Trump. My new game is Trump. The game. Trump. The game.

01:06:02.000 This sounds like political presidential.

01:06:08.000 The game.

01:06:10.000 You said, though, that if you did run for president, you believe you'd win.

01:06:16.000 I like that.

01:06:19.000 I would say that I would have a hell of a chance of winning.

01:06:22.000 I wouldn't go in to lose.

01:06:23.000 I've never gone in to lose in my life.

01:06:26.000 I don't know how your audience was, but I think people are tired of seeing the United States ripped off.

01:06:32.000 That's the guy in the car, right?

01:06:34.000 - Mm-hmm.

01:06:35.000 - Thank you.

01:06:35.000 - That's me.

01:06:36.000 - I believe that.

01:06:38.000 - Okay, kids, make it fast.

01:06:39.000 I've got a play to do this.

01:06:40.000 - You've created a magazine.

01:06:41.000 Mr. Trump, you can do it.

01:06:43.000 - Scam.

01:06:44.000 - So good.

01:06:45.000 - Yeah.

01:06:46.000 - Excuse me, personal money.

01:06:51.000 - Excuse me, personal money.

01:06:52.000 - Down the hall.

01:06:53.000 - Yeah.

01:06:54.000 - It's not a great doctor.

01:06:58.000 I'm going to try it.

01:06:59.000 - I'm just like, man.

01:07:02.000 - Excuse me, personal money.

01:07:04.000 - Down the hall.

01:07:08.000 - Their male modeling wouldn't be what it is today.

01:07:22.000 - What it is today.

01:07:23.000 - Donald.

01:07:25.000 - Yeah.

01:07:26.000 - I think you'll like it. - I think you'll like it.

01:07:28.000 - What's this about a fight for the title?

01:07:29.000 - You gotta be losing money on this.

01:07:31.000 - If you want to really see something that said, take a look at what happened.

01:07:36.000 - I've been acting like power, my phone, - Hey.

01:07:51.000 - Why this beat so crazy?

01:07:52.000 - We will make America proud again.

01:07:53.000 - If you try to get our souls.

01:07:54.000 - You will rule.

01:07:55.000 - We will make America wealthy again.

01:07:56.000 - And yes, together, we will make America great again.

01:07:57.000 - I'm still not from a trench.

01:07:58.000 - Come to my block, come to see how we live and we chillin' with black. 1.00

01:07:59.000 - What?

01:08:00.000 - What?

01:08:01.000 - What is this about a fight for the title? - I'm still not from a trench.

01:08:03.000 - I'm still not from a trench. - I'm still not from a trench.

01:08:05.000 - I'm still not from a trench.

01:08:08.000 - I'm still not from a trench. - I'm still not from a trench.

01:08:10.000 - Together, we will make America great again.

01:08:14.000 - I'm still not from a trench.

01:08:15.000 - Come to my block, come to see how we live and we chillin' with black. 1.00

01:08:19.000 wouldn't you dedicate yourself to public service?

01:08:21.000 Because I think it's a very mean life.

01:08:23.000 I would love and I would dedicate my life to this country, but I see it as being a mean life.

01:08:29.000 And I also see it as somebody with strong views.

01:08:32.000 And somebody with the kind of views that are maybe a little bit unpopular, which may be right, but may be unpopular, wouldn't necessarily have a chance of getting elected against somebody with no great brain but a big smile.

01:08:44.000 And that's a sad commentary for the political process.

01:08:47.000 And if you have a minute, why don't we go?

01:08:53.000 Talk about it somewhere only we know.

01:08:58.000 This can be the end of everything.

01:09:03.000 So don't we go somewhere only we know.

01:09:09.000 Somewhere only we know.

01:09:16.000 I'm not supposed to be here tonight.

01:09:18.000 I'm supposed to be here.

01:09:20.000 I want this earth all by myself.

01:09:23.000 I'm doing drugs that I have.

01:09:29.000 My voice is nothing but I scream in love for help.

01:09:36.000 I stretch my hair but my coat just goes up.

01:09:42.000 I am just watching.

01:09:49.000 I hate my love.

01:10:04.000 It is all về happening forever. .

01:10:12.000 Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled Joyful, all ye nations, rise!

01:10:37.000 Join the triumph of the skies!

01:10:42.000 With angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem!

01:10:52.000 Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King Peace on earth And mercy

01:11:22.000 my God and sin Joyful all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies.

01:11:42.000 With angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem.

01:11:54.000 Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King Glory

01:12:14.000 to the newborn King Holy night All is calm

01:12:44.000 All is bright Round your magic Mother and child Holy infant So tender and mild Sing me, help me, give

01:13:10.000 Sleep in heavenly peace Silent night, holy night Shepherds cross all the night

01:13:36.000 God is sounding clear and warm God and hear the angels' song Rise, O Lord, and hear the angels' song

01:13:53.000 Redeemer Silent

01:14:25.000 night, holy night, Son of God, o'er our bright, Love is high in front of me,

01:14:47.000 With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord at all!

01:15:02.000 Jesus, Lord, at your birth.

01:15:37.000 the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow My lover's got no money He's got his strong beliefs My lover's got no power He's got his strong beliefs My lover's got no fame He's got his strong beliefs My lover's got no money He's got his strong beliefs One more and more People

01:16:08.000 just want more and more Freedom and love What he's looking for One more and more People just want more and more Freedom and love.

01:16:48.000 The Courageous Fallen The anguished fallen!

01:17:17.000 Their lives have meaning because we, the living, refuse to forget them!

01:17:21.000 And as we ride to certain death, we trust our successors to do the same for us!

01:17:27.000 Because my soldiers do not buckle or yield when faced with the cruelty of this world!

01:17:33.000 My soldiers push forward!

01:17:35.000 My soldiers scream out!

01:17:37.000 My soldiers reach!

01:17:39.000 You can't go back to the past.

01:17:59.000 That's what people always say, isn't it?

01:18:00.000 They say, can we really go back?

01:18:02.000 And the answer is, whether you're conservative or liberal, right when you're left wing, the answer is no.

01:18:08.000 We're never going back.

01:18:10.000 It's gone.

01:18:11.000 All of that is gone.

01:18:13.000 But I would call myself something like a Christian futurist instead.

01:18:17.000 Because Jesus Christ was our past before any of us were born or conceived.

01:18:23.000 Jesus Christ is our present now.

01:18:25.000 and Jesus Christ is our future after we die on earth.

01:18:30.000 We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet earth. 0.98

01:18:41.000 We want this century to be the most Christian century in the history of planet earth. 0.98

01:18:43.000 We love everybody.

01:18:44.000 And we want people that can burn, really more than anybody.

01:18:48.000 But this country can no longer be held hostage by a small minority that doesn't believe in the real world.

01:18:59.000 The mission of our movement is to make this country a Christian country.

01:19:03.000 The mission is to create a Christian future in our time.

01:19:08.000 The only way we're going to do it is not by infiltrating, not by subverting, not by lying, which is what a lot of people do.

01:19:16.000 The only way that we're going to make this happen is with the boldness of a real Christian. 0.96

01:19:22.000 It's the only way.

01:19:24.000 We have got to be willing to die for Jesus Christ.

01:19:29.000 We have to want it more than they do.

01:19:31.000 because there are thousands and millions and tens of millions and hundreds of millions of Christians ready to meet their final destiny.

01:19:41.000 Then nothing can stop us and nothing will.

01:19:45.000 Have yourself a merry little Christmas

01:20:14.000 Let your heart be light.

01:20:19.000 Next year all our troubles will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay 1.00

01:20:44.000 Next year all our troubles will be miles away

01:21:01.000 as in olden days, happy golden days of your faithful friends who were dear to us will be near to us once more.

01:21:27.000 Someday soon we all will be together If the fates allow Until then we'll have to muddle through somehow Give yourself

01:21:58.000 A merry little Christmas night.

01:22:08.000 Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say, throw gears away.

01:22:27.000 Christmas is here, bringing the cheer to young and old.

01:22:30.000 Ding, young and old, ding, dong, ding, dong, that is the song.

01:22:34.000 Wind, trickle, ring, all carol, ring.

01:22:36.000 One seems to hear words of the cheer from everywhere, filling the air.

01:22:41.000 Oh, how they come, raising the sun.

01:22:43.000 Oh, hear the dim, tell them your turn.

01:22:46.000 Hear, hear, hear, while people sing songs of the cheer.

01:22:49.000 Christmas is here.

01:22:50.000 Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas.

01:22:53.000 Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas.

01:22:55.000 One on this end, all without end, their jingle tongue to everyone.

01:23:00.000 Hark out the bells, sweet silver bells, all sing to say, throw cares away.

01:23:04.000 This Christmas is here, drinking a cheer, to young and old, ding and the ball, ding-a-ding-dong, that is our song.

01:23:11.000 With joyful ring, all caroling, one seems to hear words of the cheer from everywhere.

01:23:18.000 Oh, how they come, raise in the sun, for heaven's doom's a little turn.

01:23:23.000 In every word people sing, songs of good cheer, Christmas is here.

01:23:27.000 Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas.

01:23:30.000 Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas.

01:23:32.000 Dawn on this end, dawn without end, their jungle tongue to every home. 1.00

01:23:36.000 Dawn of this end, dawn without end, their joyful tongue to every home.

01:23:41.000 O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant. joyful and triumphant.

01:24:01.000 O come, ye faithful.

01:24:04.000 You'll come into Bethlehem.

01:24:13.000 You'll come into Bethlehem.

01:24:43.000 You'll come into Bethlehem.

01:24:52.000 America first.

01:24:55.000 The American people will come first once again.

01:25:02.000 With respect, the respect that we deserve.

01:25:13.000 From this day forward, it's going to be only America first. 0.99

01:25:26.000 America first.

01:29:36.000 Thank you. Thank you.

01:29:53.000 You are watching America First.

01:29:55.000 My name is Nicholas J. Fuentes.

01:29:56.000 We have a great show for you tonight.

01:29:58.000 Very excited to be back here with you tonight on Wednesday.

01:30:02.000 We have a lot to talk about tonight.

01:30:05.000 Lots to get into.

01:30:06.000 Big show.

01:30:07.000 Our featured story tonight.

01:30:09.000 We're talking all about the imminent government shutdown.

01:30:13.000 Huge news.

01:30:14.000 Republican-Democrat bipartisan deal that On a continuing resolution to fund the government until March has completely collapsed under pressure from Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

01:30:28.000 Now Congress is facing a Friday deadline to pass a bill to fund the government.

01:30:35.000 And there's a lot of details here.

01:30:39.000 We're going to talk tonight about what's in the bill that was struck down.

01:30:44.000 We're going to talk about why it was shut down.

01:30:47.000 This was a done deal.

01:30:49.000 Republicans and Democrats shook hands.

01:30:54.000 They were ready to do it.

01:30:55.000 But it was Donald Trump and Elon Musk that intervened at the last minute to force Republicans not to support the deal.

01:31:04.000 We'll talk about that.

01:31:06.000 And we'll also be talking tonight about the why.

01:31:10.000 And it seems that Trump would like to include in the deal something about the debt ceiling.

01:31:17.000 He wants to raise the debt ceiling before Biden leaves office.

01:31:22.000 And that actually wasn't even a part of the deal.

01:31:25.000 Wasn't even in it.

01:31:26.000 So Trump wants to restart negotiations over the debt ceiling as a part of this CR. That seems to be the big reason so that he won't have to do it in his administration in June 2025. So we're going to talk all about that.

01:31:44.000 It's...

01:31:45.000 Pretty boring, but we'll talk about it.

01:31:48.000 We're going to get into the politics behind it.

01:31:50.000 The big story is how it seems like this is not going to be the same, or I hope it won't be, as the last 10 years.

01:32:00.000 This has always been the story, which is that Trump has an initiative, and whether Congress is controlled by Republicans or not, Republicans fold.

01:32:12.000 They give Democrats everything they want because the Democrats control the media.

01:32:17.000 The Republicans know that without the ability to force a shutdown because they'd be blamed for any shutdown by the left-wing media that they have no leverage.

01:32:28.000 So whether they control the House or the Senate or both at the same time, regardless, they will be blamed for any budgetary shortfall.

01:32:41.000 And we saw this in Trump's first term repeatedly.

01:32:43.000 And we even saw this under the Biden administration when Republicans controlled the House.

01:32:49.000 So with the intervention of Trump and Elon, this is like the beginning of the beginning here.

01:32:56.000 And it's going to tell us a lot about the relationship between the executive and the legislative in the next four years, if anything changes at all.

01:33:07.000 So that is why it is interesting.

01:33:09.000 The details are not that interesting.

01:33:11.000 What is interesting is that it seems that Trump and Elon are trying to set the tone going into this second term.

01:33:20.000 And by that, I mean they are trying to dictate and set a new precedent in the relationship between this incoming Republican Congress and the executive branch.

01:33:32.000 They want to do it on their terms.

01:33:35.000 And that's actually a really good idea.

01:33:37.000 I support it.

01:33:38.000 So we'll talk all about that.

01:33:40.000 We'll also be talking about a brand new interview with the new apparent leader of Syria, Mohammed al-Julani, who is the leader of Hyatt Tahrir al-Sham, otherwise known as HTS. That is the group which took over Syria last week.

01:33:58.000 We don't actually know what this government is going to look like.

01:34:03.000 All the questions we asked after the fall of the Assad regime are still unanswered.

01:34:09.000 We're getting close to an answer, but we still don't know the fate of the autonomous administration of northeastern Syria.

01:34:17.000 We don't know what role Turkey will play in the shaping of the new government.

01:34:23.000 We don't know whether Russia will remain at their bases, although it appears they're removing all their assets, which is interesting because some super chatter last week said, of course, Russia is going to stay at the bases.

01:34:37.000 No, not of course.

01:34:38.000 And now they're pulling everything out.

01:34:41.000 So maybe not so much.

01:34:44.000 And then the biggest question of all is the character of the new regime.

01:34:49.000 The previous regime, the Assad government, was a Ba'athist state controlled by the Alawite minority.

01:34:58.000 Syria is a nation of Sunni Arabs, which was controlled by a socialist Arab nationalist dictatorship, which was ruled by a dynastic Alawite family, an elite officer class.

01:35:14.000 Alawites are a branch of Shiite Islam.

01:35:18.000 And they're not technically Shiites, but they are followers of Ali, who is one of the successors to Mohammed. 0.79

01:35:27.000 So he's considered part of that branch.

01:35:29.000 Alawites are considered part of that branch.

01:35:32.000 They are in the minority on Syria's west coast.

01:35:35.000 And so the previous regime was secular, authoritarian, socialist, and ruled by a dynastic ethnic religious minority.

01:35:46.000 This new group, which has taken over the capital, HTS, is Sunni Arab, and they are Salafist, meaning that they are Islamist.

01:35:55.000 They believe in Sharia law over the government.

01:35:58.000 Therefore, they are not socialist, Arab nationalist, and they are not secular.

01:36:05.000 Question is, will the character of the Syrian regime change completely?

01:36:09.000 Will it now look like the Taliban? 0.95

01:36:12.000 Will it now look like Saudi Arabia?

01:36:16.000 Or will it look more like Iraq?

01:36:19.000 Will it be democratic?

01:36:20.000 Will there be elections?

01:36:22.000 Will there be a constitution?

01:36:24.000 And if there are elections and if there is some kind of democratic process, will HTS remain in power?

01:36:32.000 And will its leader become the president?

01:36:34.000 That is the question.

01:36:35.000 And so we're starting to get some answers on that.

01:36:38.000 The leader of HTS, the group which is now in control of most of Syria, gave an interview to BBC. And it's really interesting.

01:36:47.000 Now, all of a sudden, he's wearing Western clothes.

01:36:52.000 And he says there will be a constitution.

01:36:54.000 And he's changed his name.

01:36:57.000 He's going by a different name now.

01:36:59.000 And he says that women are going to be educated, right? 0.67

01:37:05.000 And this is really interesting because right now the group that he leads is considered a terrorist group by the government of the United Kingdom.

01:37:14.000 BBC is state-run media in the UK. The UK government calls them a legally designated terrorist group.

01:37:22.000 So does the United States.

01:37:24.000 So does Iran. 0.96

01:37:26.000 So does Turkey. 0.91

01:37:27.000 So does Israel. 0.87

01:37:29.000 So does all of its neighbors.

01:37:30.000 And now it seems like they're on a press tour.

01:37:35.000 To rehabilitate the group.

01:37:37.000 And it's all very suspicious.

01:37:39.000 So if we have time we'll talk about that as well.

01:37:42.000 Should be a pretty good show.

01:37:45.000 Before we get into the news I want to remind you to smash the follow button on Rumble to get notified whenever I go live.

01:37:52.000 I've been pretty late these days but I told you, you know, look, it's the end of the year.

01:37:56.000 I am really—these are just for my participation points, okay?

01:38:01.000 I'm getting ready to take my break, and I'm coming back full—what is it?

01:38:07.000 Full steam?

01:38:07.000 Full speed?

01:38:08.000 Full speed ahead next month, probably around the time of the inauguration.

01:38:13.000 So these are just—this is just bonus content as far as I'm concerned.

01:38:16.000 But smash the follow button to get notified when I go live.

01:38:20.000 Also, smash the like button, leave a comment down below.

01:38:23.000 Let me know what you think about the show.

01:38:26.000 Tell me your thoughts.

01:38:28.000 And I think that's about it.

01:38:31.000 There is one other thing I wanted to show you before we get into the news.

01:38:36.000 We have a lot of stuff to get into.

01:38:37.000 We're going to talk a little bit about Congress.

01:38:40.000 We'll talk about Syria.

01:38:42.000 But I wanted to show you one other thing before we get into all that.

01:38:49.000 Lately, I've been complaining a lot about how it seems that the right wing is being deradicalized.

01:38:57.000 That's the word of the day.

01:38:58.000 This is the operative word.

01:39:02.000 Deradicalization.

01:39:03.000 The Trump movement used to be a radicalizing force.

01:39:10.000 Normies, normie conservatives were being radicalized by the Trump movement.

01:39:17.000 And by that I mean they were moving rightward.

01:39:21.000 They were becoming more right-wing.

01:39:23.000 And in particular, they were embracing a radical perspective on politics in general, denying the elections, rejecting legitimacy of the media, questioning the efficacy of our democratic institutions.

01:39:38.000 These are all characteristic of a far more radical politics.

01:39:44.000 And maybe the foundation of that radicalism is that it reframed politics.

01:39:50.000 The Trump movement reframed politics away from a right-left dialectic altogether and towards a pro-regime and anti-regime politics.

01:40:04.000 Trump was considered outside of the ruling elite, outside of the system and And by penetrating the system would transform it and change its fundamental characteristics.

01:40:19.000 That's what made it truly radical.

01:40:22.000 And I've been complaining a lot about how lately...

01:40:26.000 It is doing the opposite.

01:40:28.000 It is deradicalizing people.

01:40:30.000 If Trump used to make people not believe in the elections, now Trump is making people believe in the elections.

01:40:38.000 In 2020, 80% of Republicans thought the election was rigged.

01:40:43.000 In 2024, 100% of Republicans believe they weren't.

01:40:48.000 In 2020, probably 100% of Republicans believe the media was lying.

01:40:53.000 In 2024, that number is significantly lower based on things we've seen in the past six, nine months, and I've covered them on the show.

01:41:04.000 And anyway...

01:41:06.000 I pointed out that in this new era where Trump appears to be a de-radicalizing agent, which is actually counterproductive for our movement, I said that we're really the only ones left.

01:41:18.000 I and this movement, America First and the Groypers, we're really the only ones that are pushing the envelope.

01:41:23.000 We're the only ones that are actually ideologically right-wing.

01:41:29.000 We're not center-right.

01:41:30.000 We're not right-wing liberals.

01:41:33.000 We're truly reactionary and that's based on our traditional interpretation of Christianity, specifically Catholicism.

01:41:41.000 It is based on our social views regarding gender and sex.

01:41:47.000 It's based on our views about race and ethnicity as it pertains specifically to immigration and about the character of the government and whether it should be democratic and whether there should be qualifications for voting or who should be in elected office.

01:42:04.000 And anyway, I pointed out repeatedly, this is why we are indispensable.

01:42:09.000 This is why we are so valuable, because we're the only right-wing people left.

01:42:14.000 Everybody else has totally compromised in order to win this election.

01:42:19.000 Everybody is softening on...

01:42:22.000 Feminism, immigration, foreign policy, softening again on some of those institutional questions like the elections and the media. 0.97

01:42:32.000 They're softening on things like LGBT and abortion.

01:42:35.000 They're softening on things like religion.

01:42:38.000 And I wanted to show you something I saw today was so funny.

01:42:43.000 We haven't done an AFPAC in a minute.

01:42:45.000 We tried to do an AFPAC 4 in June.

01:42:47.000 We got shut down.

01:42:48.000 Hopefully we'll do another one soon.

01:42:50.000 But you have all these other events, and I saw a preview for one of them.

01:42:56.000 Today, and it's a James O'Keefe event.

01:43:01.000 James O'Keefe, he was the founder of Project Veritas.

01:43:05.000 He got kicked out.

01:43:06.000 That's a whole other story.

01:43:08.000 But James O'Keefe is an investigative journalist.

01:43:11.000 You may know him.

01:43:12.000 He popularized the hidden camera.

01:43:15.000 Honeypot interviews.

01:43:18.000 And anyway, so he's been hosting these parties lately.

01:43:22.000 I mean, they're really political conferences, but he calls them a party.

01:43:25.000 And I saw there was a preview for one.

01:43:28.000 I want to play the preview for you.

01:43:30.000 I want to give you a taste of this is what the conservative movement is like without the Groypers. 1.00

01:43:37.000 If there were no Groypers, if there was no Nick Fuentes, this would be it.

01:43:42.000 This is what you would have.

01:43:44.000 So I want to play this for you.

01:43:46.000 Let me just get this headphone in if I can.

01:43:53.000 And I'll play for you.

01:43:54.000 This is a trailer for his upcoming James O'Keefe party in Phoenix, Arizona.

01:44:03.000 Get a load of this.

01:44:04.000 I want you guys to watch.

01:44:05.000 This is what conservatism is like without the Groypers. 1.00

01:44:09.000 This is your average conservatism without Nick Fuentes and the Groipers. 0.99

01:44:14.000 This is your average conservatism without Nick Fuentes and the Groipers. 0.99

01:44:44.000 All right.

01:44:50.000 Alright.

01:44:50.000 Alright!

01:44:54.000 Dude!

01:44:57.000 Oh, man.

01:44:58.000 Isn't that great, you guys?

01:45:00.000 Isn't that great?

01:45:03.000 So this is your...

01:45:04.000 This is James O'Keefe.

01:45:07.000 He actually follows me.

01:45:11.000 Better do what you can to join me in Phoenix, Arizona.

01:45:15.000 It's going to be the party of the decade.

01:45:17.000 Which decade, by the way?

01:45:19.000 Which decade is that?

01:45:21.000 The 1980s?

01:45:23.000 Best party of the 1980s?

01:45:25.000 Because I think that decade is over.

01:45:28.000 I think that decade was over 35 years ago.

01:45:31.000 I think the 1980s was over a long time ago.

01:45:35.000 Maybe you didn't hear.

01:45:36.000 Maybe you haven't heard.

01:45:38.000 This party is for anyone who's been jailed, sued, fired, or condemned for telling the truth.

01:45:44.000 We are undefeated.

01:45:45.000 Hey, that's me!

01:45:46.000 All the above for telling the truth.

01:45:50.000 Tickets at JamesO'KeefeParty.com, AmFest 2024. Okay, now this is what...

01:46:01.000 The other day we did a segment like this.

01:46:03.000 I showed you a tweet by Joey Manarino and his wife saying, They felt the compulsion to tell everybody that European girls like black guys.

01:46:14.000 And they said, if you have a problem with that, well, you're an incel.

01:46:19.000 That was yesterday.

01:46:20.000 That was two of the biggest pro-Trump surrogates, James O'Keefe and Ada Lutcher.

01:46:27.000 They logged on yesterday.

01:46:28.000 They felt the need to tell everybody that black people should fly to Poland if they want to have sex with white people.

01:46:34.000 Nice.

01:46:35.000 Average conservative influencers.

01:46:37.000 Then today, we see this advertisement for the party, and from what I understand, this is a white and black backup dancer behind James O'Keefe, dressed up like Michael Jackson, doing a Michael Jackson dance.

01:46:54.000 For their rave party in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday.

01:47:01.000 We'll watch it one more time.

01:47:03.000 Watch it one more time.

01:47:04.000 This is, again, I want everybody to understand, this is in reality.

01:47:09.000 In real life.

01:47:11.000 Not a Trump TikTok edit.

01:47:14.000 Not something fake.

01:47:16.000 Not something fake that you see online.

01:47:18.000 This is what real conservatism looks like.

01:47:20.000 Without me and the Groypers, this is what it actually is. 1.00

01:47:25.000 Watch one more time.

01:47:27.000 Look at these moves.

01:47:29.000 I like this part.

01:47:30.000 I like this part.

01:47:31.000 When it says it doesn't matter who's wrong or right, and you have James O'Keefe between a white guy and a black guy getting between them saying, hey, break it up, you two. 0.50

01:47:42.000 Hey, let's stop this race war. 0.97

01:47:44.000 Break it up.

01:47:45.000 I guess that's a white and black guy ready to come to blows over the election or something. 0.98

01:47:52.000 James O'Keefe says, hey, stop.

01:47:54.000 Hey, he's holding his friend back.

01:47:57.000 Hey, come on now.

01:47:58.000 Hey, you stop too.

01:47:59.000 Hey, listen, guys, let's break this up.

01:48:03.000 And then, oh, yeah.

01:48:05.000 Then he goes in.

01:48:08.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:10.000 Oh, yeah.

01:48:13.000 Yes!

01:48:14.000 Oh, yeah!

01:48:15.000 That's clean!

01:48:17.000 A little spin.

01:48:18.000 Oh, yeah!

01:48:19.000 Alright.

01:48:20.000 Oh, I like that one.

01:48:23.000 A little hip thrust.

01:48:24.000 Yeah, dealing the cards.

01:48:27.000 A little cross arm action.

01:48:30.000 Throwing the leg up.

01:48:33.000 Good stuff, you guys.

01:48:34.000 This is great stuff.

01:48:35.000 This is how we win the culture war. 0.64

01:48:38.000 Now, this is counterculture.

01:48:40.000 I'm starting to hear that conservatism is the new punk rock, you guys.

01:48:45.000 I've been hearing a rumor that conservatism is the new punk rock.

01:48:49.000 You want to be a part of the real counterculture?

01:48:52.000 Get a wife, Jack, and dance to Michael Jackson and make America rave again. 0.94

01:49:00.000 What are we, dude?

01:49:01.000 The belt?

01:49:04.000 Tucked in.

01:49:05.000 I like how it's kind of...

01:49:07.000 You see how it kind of is...

01:49:11.000 Showing his belly there a little bit?

01:49:17.000 Man, what are we doing, you guys?

01:49:19.000 What are we doing?

01:49:23.000 What are we doing, you guys?

01:49:29.000 Who wants this?

01:49:30.000 Who asked for this?

01:49:32.000 This is the problem when old people run everything. 1.00

01:49:36.000 You want to know what the problem is?

01:49:39.000 The people that are funding youth politics are 100 years old.

01:49:46.000 The people that are giving money to Turning Point USA and James O'Keefe, when James O'Keefe goes to the Breakers and Vero Beach every year to raise money from the Jewish donors and the evangelical donors, when James O'Keefe goes to the Breakers every year, when he goes to Vero every year to raise all the money for his group, The donors are a thousand years old.

01:50:12.000 And to them, he is a young man.

01:50:15.000 I think he's in his 30s, maybe 40s.

01:50:18.000 So, you know, he is like a young guy.

01:50:21.000 But to them, he's a kid.

01:50:23.000 To the 100-year-old donors in Southern Florida, this guy's a teenager.

01:50:29.000 This guy's a baby. 0.70

01:50:31.000 But to us, he's a millennial Gen Xer who still believes that Michael Jackson's the coolest thing ever.

01:50:39.000 Who still believes that Michael Jackson is awesome.

01:50:42.000 Who's really into the 80s and 90s.

01:50:44.000 Who's really into stuff like that.

01:50:47.000 But I was actually born in 1998. That actually makes me one of the older Zoomers. 0.95

01:50:54.000 If not the eldest Zoomer. 0.85

01:50:58.000 And so I don't know what they or what James O'Keefe is thinking.

01:51:02.000 Nobody actually in this generation gives a shit about Michael Jackson other than Dalton Clotfelter.

01:51:09.000 Nobody actually cares or likes.

01:51:12.000 In other words, this is self-indulgent.

01:51:16.000 The idea that a bunch of teenagers who are raised by Fortnite and TikTok...

01:51:23.000 Are excited by a Michael Jackson dance in the year 2024 is so insane and delusional.

01:51:31.000 Only Khan Inc.

01:51:33.000 could come up with this.

01:51:33.000 Only con ink, only conservatives could think that this would be appealing.

01:51:39.000 So it's sort of a disaster.

01:51:48.000 Without the Groypers, without America First, this is what you have. 1.00

01:51:52.000 This is what you have to work with.

01:51:57.000 I think that's my favorite part.

01:52:02.000 And then it goes out.

01:52:04.000 I love how he grabs one, and then I like how he starts hopping.

01:52:12.000 Yeah, so...

01:52:15.000 This is why if you don't have America first, you have Ben Shapiro talking about wicked.

01:52:20.000 You have Dennis Prager talking about jacking off.

01:52:23.000 You have James O'Keefe doing the Michael Jackson dance.

01:52:26.000 And you have Joey Manorino talking about having sex with black men.

01:52:30.000 This is what your conservative movement is without the Groypers. 1.00

01:52:34.000 People want to complain about, we're too edgy.

01:52:38.000 Oh, you don't take anything seriously.

01:52:40.000 Right?

01:52:41.000 If it wasn't for our cultural impact, this is what we would have.

01:52:45.000 And I would even give a little bit of credit to guys like Gypsy Crusader. 1.00

01:52:50.000 I give credit to guys like Zerka.

01:52:53.000 And people criticize them for things, but...

01:52:58.000 Look, without that far-right element, it would be really fucking gay. 0.85

01:53:03.000 Without Groypers, without Wignats, I'll even extend an olive branch to the Wignats here. 1.00

01:53:09.000 Without the Wignats, without Daily Stormer, without Zerko, without Fresh and Fit, without Sneeko, this is as good as it gets.

01:53:19.000 This is as good as you're gonna get.

01:53:21.000 You're gonna have Charlie Kirk, Meat Canyon face, coming out and grinning at everybody.

01:53:28.000 With his Norwood 2000 going on.

01:53:31.000 You're going to have James O'Keefe dressed like Michael Jackson.

01:53:34.000 You're going to have Ben Shapiro giggling about Wicked.

01:53:37.000 This is what it would be without the goats.

01:53:40.000 So anyway, I just had to show you that.

01:53:42.000 I saw it today.

01:53:43.000 I couldn't resist.

01:53:43.000 And then the best part is the PowerPoint graphic at the very end.

01:53:49.000 Did I miss it?

01:53:51.000 Like, Con Inc.

01:53:53.000 has $2 billion.

01:53:54.000 This is the best they could do for graphics?

01:53:57.000 What is this, like Times New Roman?

01:54:00.000 I mean, seriously.

01:54:01.000 Who made this?

01:54:01.000 Whoever made this needs to be exterminated.

01:54:04.000 Like, not even fired.

01:54:05.000 They need to be fumigated. 0.99

01:54:07.000 Who was the graphic designer and what were they being paid?

01:54:11.000 How does James O'Keefe make millions and millions and millions of dollars?

01:54:16.000 And then they made a graphic like this.

01:54:18.000 They do an 80s video in somebody's basement.

01:54:21.000 No lighting?

01:54:22.000 Like, where's the lighting?

01:54:24.000 I could make a better music video than this and I have no budget.

01:54:28.000 No one knows about lighting here?

01:54:32.000 Oh my gosh.

01:54:35.000 And then they do this.

01:54:36.000 And then they do this PowerPoint slide.

01:54:38.000 They do like a keynote slide.

01:54:41.000 Times New Roman.

01:54:42.000 Come to our party today.

01:54:45.000 Purchase tickets at...

01:54:47.000 I mean, what is this?

01:54:48.000 Purchase tickets at www.18001999.com.

01:54:57.000 Everything about it's terrible.

01:54:58.000 No offense.

01:54:59.000 And look, James O'Keefe isn't even the worst one.

01:55:01.000 I don't hate James O'Keefe.

01:55:03.000 I don't really have a problem with him.

01:55:05.000 To be honest with you, he's one of the better ones, actually.

01:55:10.000 But he's got to let it go.

01:55:11.000 We got to stop with the LARP. This is their idea of cool.

01:55:15.000 Everybody criticizes me, but this is your average conservative's idea of aura.

01:55:21.000 In his mind, he was thinking, because he sings and he dances and he thinks that's really cool and he's really sniffing his own farts.

01:55:30.000 In his mind, this is really hip and cool.

01:55:34.000 It's got 6,000 views.

01:55:36.000 How is that even possible?

01:55:37.000 How is he getting away with it?

01:55:40.000 The craziest part about this video is that if James O'Keefe just put on regular glasses, no one in the...

01:55:52.000 Oh, because he's in disguise all the time.

01:55:55.000 James pulling those moves wasn't on my bingo card this year.

01:56:02.000 And then someone posted this.

01:56:05.000 Oh my God.

01:56:08.000 Sorry for the ear rape.

01:56:09.000 Then someone posted this in the comments.

01:56:13.000 The Bee Gees.

01:56:18.000 Yeah, I want to kill myself when I see this.

01:56:21.000 When I see this, it makes me want to commit suicide with a gun.

01:56:28.000 Boomers post shit like this and say, we're winning the culture. 0.99

01:56:32.000 Like, the worst thing that is happening that no one is talking about is that boomers are on Twitter. 0.91

01:56:38.000 In 2016, it was just us.

01:56:42.000 People were making a Sonnenrad spin and they were talking about Hyperborea.

01:56:48.000 And Holocaust denial.

01:56:50.000 And then your grandfather got on the internet and now they're posting this.

01:56:53.000 They're posting...

01:56:54.000 What do they used to call these?

01:56:55.000 There was a name for videos like this where they'd face swap onto dancing.

01:57:00.000 It's called like...

01:57:01.000 You know what I'm talking about?

01:57:03.000 What do they used to call them?

01:57:04.000 They've been around forever.

01:57:06.000 And now this is...

01:57:08.000 What if we put...

01:57:09.000 What if we put RFK Jr. and Trump on guys dancing?

01:57:15.000 What if we put Tucker on there too?

01:57:17.000 And JD Vance?

01:57:19.000 Wouldn't that be so funny?

01:57:23.000 This is so terrible.

01:57:29.000 So, I feel like no one is even talking about this, but our movement has been made gay.

01:57:37.000 The Trump movement, Trumpism, Trump conservative politics has been made really cringe.

01:57:45.000 You know, back 10 years ago, it didn't used to be like this.

01:57:48.000 Do you remember when Trump actually had like, let me see, what were some of the good ones?

01:57:55.000 You had stuff like this.

01:57:57.000 Like, this was actually good.

01:57:58.000 Trying to see if there are any other good ones that are recommended.

01:58:08.000 Yeah, and I was whipping around you Like, this was actually Keno.

01:58:13.000 We are going to make our country great again.

01:58:18.000 And what was the one where he's like, uh, he's in like a mech suit?

01:58:25.000 This is what Trump Keno used to be.

01:58:28.000 Where's the part where he gets a swastika suit or whatever?

01:58:36.000 *music* Like this is what it used to be.

01:58:43.000 This is what Trump Kino used to be like.

01:58:54.000 Like...

01:58:55.000 And then they turned it into this.

01:58:59.000 Okay.

01:59:00.000 See if you can spot the difference.

01:59:02.000 Spot the difference.

01:59:07.000 Or like Panther Den.

01:59:08.000 Remember Panther Den?

01:59:13.000 Did they get rid of it?

01:59:21.000 must have banned his channel or something it used to be this It used to be that, now it's this.

01:59:37.000 It's this, and it's this.

01:59:39.000 And this!

01:59:40.000 And this!

01:59:41.000 Oh my gosh!

01:59:43.000 Guys!

01:59:44.000 What else was really Keno back then?

01:59:49.000 I'm trying to remember who was actually Keno back in those days.

01:59:55.000 He had like Hitler's... 0.98

01:59:56.000 I wonder if they still have any of those.

01:59:58.000 If they do, they're not on YouTube.

02:00:09.000 I wonder if they're on YouTube.

02:00:19.000 Let me see.

02:00:20.000 Is it on Internet Archive?

02:00:24.000 It's like this is what used to be Kino back in the day.

02:00:27.000 Let me see if they have it.

02:00:32.000 And then I promise we'll move on to the news.

02:00:34.000 This is just a little casual section.

02:00:41.000 Dude, this is so scum.

02:00:46.000 Okay, I don't even know if this is the right one.

02:00:48.000 Whatever.

02:00:49.000 We don't need to put that on the screen the entire time.

02:00:51.000 I want to keep my Rumble channel.

02:00:54.000 What were some others like Downfall, TikTok edit...

02:01:03.000 I'm talking about...

02:01:04.000 This isn't even a good one.

02:01:16.000 Whatever.

02:01:17.000 There used to be...

02:01:17.000 Remember we used to have one we used to watch all the time?

02:01:20.000 Anyway, it used to be like that.

02:01:21.000 Now we get this.

02:01:22.000 Now you get this trash.

02:01:24.000 Oh my...

02:01:25.000 I can't...

02:01:26.000 It's hard to watch.

02:01:31.000 I think you get the point.

02:01:32.000 Yeah, boomers have taken over the movement. 0.97

02:01:42.000 They're posting trash.

02:01:44.000 And they're all verified, too.

02:01:46.000 You are smoking, James.

02:01:48.000 You have great dance moves, says this ancient boomer.

02:01:52.000 He's good.

02:01:53.000 She's really good.

02:01:57.000 good.

02:01:58.000 Oh, man.

02:02:09.000 Brutal.

02:02:13.000 So, So I reject this.

02:02:16.000 I reject what has happened to our movement.

02:02:20.000 It's terrible.

02:02:23.000 Anyway, alright, we're gonna move on, though.

02:02:25.000 I just can't.

02:02:27.000 I can't get over the Michael Jackson.

02:02:29.000 And he's been doing this for a long time.

02:02:31.000 It's not even the first time.

02:02:33.000 He did a conference a couple years ago, or maybe it was at Turning Point, and he did this interpretive dance of his life.

02:02:41.000 He did a one-man play of his life through interpretive dance.

02:02:45.000 I'm not making this up.

02:02:47.000 Where he reenacted being sued for And being undercover, and it was literally interpretive dance, like these elaborate costumes and sets, and this was a turning point, and the crowd went mild.

02:03:00.000 He was doing this, like, dance about being in Project Veritas, and everybody in the audience is like, this is great, James, good stuff.

02:03:14.000 Terrible.

02:03:15.000 Anyway, so I just wanted to throw out a little reminder.

02:03:19.000 This is what your movement looks like without the far right.

02:03:22.000 If you don't have the far right, and that is really what they made a conscious decision this year to discard the far right.

02:03:31.000 In 2016, the far right, they allowed the far right to be a part of the victory.

02:03:37.000 They had a very radical element for Chan, the alt-right, Breitbart, And they did amplify a lot of those things.

02:03:47.000 Remember Trump posted the Sheriff's Star and talked about Jewish banks and things like that.

02:03:53.000 Or I'm sorry, international banks.

02:03:56.000 They really did lean into the far right.

02:03:59.000 And we had legends, real legends like Sam Hyde and Anglin and Charles Johnson was a legend back in those days.

02:04:08.000 And now we have this slop.

02:04:11.000 Now you have slop and garbage.

02:04:13.000 People unironically standing Red Scare.

02:04:17.000 And you have Man's World Magazine and just metric ton of dog shit.

02:04:22.000 Those guys weren't funny in 2016. Now they have like a version of the far right which comes from Claremont Institute.

02:04:30.000 Now you have like a version of the far right which has been co-opted.

02:04:34.000 It's like Jack Posobiec and the BAP heads. 0.68

02:04:37.000 And those guys were never even funny back then.

02:04:40.000 Like they didn't have the energy with them back then.

02:04:42.000 Back then it was guys like Jeff and it was various other people.

02:04:49.000 But it wasn't so-called frog Twitter which has co-opted everything.

02:04:55.000 It's a very sad situation.

02:04:57.000 So anyway, I just wanted to show that.

02:05:00.000 With that out of the way, we're going to dive into the show.

02:05:03.000 We're going to get into our news for the night.

02:05:06.000 We're going to dive into the government shutdown first.

02:05:10.000 Super exciting stuff.

02:05:14.000 And I really don't want to get into it, but we have to.

02:05:21.000 So tonight our future story is about the imminent government shutdown.

02:05:25.000 There is a deadline on Friday for Congress to pass a spending bill or else the government runs out of money and will be forced to shut down.

02:05:37.000 Republicans and Democrats came to a deal earlier in the week to avert the shutdown.

02:05:42.000 It was ready to go.

02:05:44.000 It was going to sail through the House and then the Senate and it would have become law.

02:05:50.000 But it is a 1,500-page omnibus bill.

02:05:54.000 Omnibus meaning it combines 12 appropriations bills into one super-large bill that will fund the government through March.

02:06:03.000 There's three to four months of spending, but it's a lot of money.

02:06:07.000 And although initially they were putting together a package that would simply fund the government as part of a continuing resolution, what emerged a few days ago was a deal which included a ton of Totally unrelated provisions.

02:06:22.000 In other words, it didn't just fund the government and made a number of other random changes.

02:06:29.000 For example...

02:06:31.000 We'll get into all of them, but some quick examples.

02:06:34.000 It increases congressional pay by about 4%.

02:06:37.000 It appropriates money for the Washington Commanders to have a football stadium in D.C. It criminalizes AI pornography and provides for social media users to be able to take that down on the Internet.

02:06:55.000 All sorts of random things.

02:06:57.000 This is for a large appropriations bill.

02:07:00.000 Random things totally unrelated to spending and totally unrelated to each other thrown into the bill at the last minute to get it passed before Congress leaves and ends their session before the winter break and before Biden leaves office and a new Congress is sworn in in the first week of January.

02:07:23.000 So that was the plan.

02:07:25.000 Republicans and Democrats put out this bill.

02:07:29.000 It leaves committee earlier this week.

02:07:31.000 It's 1,500 pages.

02:07:33.000 It's got all this crap in there.

02:07:35.000 They're ready to go.

02:07:36.000 And then today, Elon Musk makes a big stink and says Republicans should not pass the bill.

02:07:45.000 It's filled with unnecessary spending.

02:07:47.000 It's filled with Gibbs for the Democrats and And then Trump jumped on the bandwagon and said Republicans should not pass and if they pass it, we will primary them.

02:07:58.000 He said instead we should pass a clean CR. Clean CR means a clean continuing resolution.

02:08:06.000 Clean means it just funds the government.

02:08:09.000 It doesn't do anything else.

02:08:11.000 It doesn't have any of these add-ons.

02:08:13.000 Trump comes in and says we don't want a bill with all the garbage.

02:08:16.000 We just want the funding.

02:08:18.000 And he introduced another negotiating point.

02:08:22.000 He said, I want the debt ceiling to be raised.

02:08:25.000 And more on that in a moment.

02:08:27.000 And so now where we stand is that it looks like the government may shut down.

02:08:33.000 The deadline is Friday.

02:08:34.000 They put out a 1500 bill today, which is apparently completely unacceptable to Trump and Elon Musk.

02:08:42.000 Elon and Trump are pressuring Republicans not to vote for it.

02:08:45.000 And now...

02:08:48.000 The Speaker, Mike Johnson, does not have the votes to pass it with Republicans.

02:08:52.000 He doesn't even have enough Republican support to pass it with mostly Democrats.

02:08:57.000 He does not have the votes.

02:09:00.000 And no one is coming to bail him out.

02:09:02.000 Democrats are not going to agree.

02:09:05.000 Many Republicans won't agree.

02:09:06.000 The Senate is not going to help.

02:09:10.000 And so now Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, is in a real jam because he can't please Trump and Elon.

02:09:16.000 He also can't please the Democrats.

02:09:18.000 The members are beholden to Trump and Elon on some level because they are publicly pressuring them.

02:09:25.000 And the deadline is in two days.

02:09:27.000 So now everybody is wondering what are the options for Mike Johnson considered passing a clean CR, but that is considered a non-starter in negotiations for the members.

02:09:41.000 They won't vote for that.

02:09:42.000 Republicans won't vote for that.

02:09:44.000 Democrats won't vote for that.

02:09:45.000 So if he can't pass the existing bill and if he can't pass a clean bill and if Trump is actually demanding negotiations renew on the debt ceiling, which would require more time, It seems like there's no deal that can satisfy anybody.

02:10:03.000 So we might be hurtling towards a government shutdown that Elon and Trump are actually calling for to last through the end of Biden's presidency and into the swearing-in of a new Congress in a couple of weeks.

02:10:15.000 And this is a story from the New York Times.

02:10:17.000 It says, quote...

02:10:19.000 A bipartisan spending deal to avert a shutdown is on life support today after President-elect Donald Trump condemned it, leaving lawmakers without a strategy to fund the government past a Friday night deadline.

02:10:33.000 Mr. Trump issued a scathing statement ordering Republicans not to support the sprawling bill, piling on to a barrage of criticism from Elon Musk, who spent Wednesday trashing the measure on social media and threatening any Republican who supported it with political ruin.

02:10:49.000 It was not clear how Mike Johnson planned to proceed as the package, which was stuffed with unrelated policy measures, as well as tens of billions of dollars in disaster and agricultural aid, appeared to be hemorrhaging support.

02:11:04.000 Some Republicans suggested he was mulling stripping the bill of everything but the spending extension and putting it to a vote, but the fate of such a measure was very much in doubt.

02:11:13.000 It began as a simple spending bill to keep government funds flowing past a midnight deadline into mid-March, but it emerged from bipartisan negotiations with $100 billion in disaster rate and dozens of other unrelated policies.

02:11:30.000 The bill appeared doomed when Mr. Trump weighed in late Wednesday afternoon saying lawmakers need to pass a temporary funding bill without Democrat giveaways and said it should be combined with an increase in the debt ceiling, which is the cap on how much money the United States is authorized to borrow to meet its financial obligations. which is the cap on how much money the United Just as conservative Republicans and Mr. Musk were railing against the bipartisan deal for adding too much spending to the national debt, Mr. Trump called for raising the debt ceiling,

02:11:59.000 insisting Republicans must increase it as part of the spending package so the borrowing limit would go up while President Biden is still in office. insisting Republicans must increase it as part of the spending The borrowing limit is expected to be reached sometime in January, and a failure to increase it would cause a default on the nation's debt.

02:12:16.000 Mr. Trump acknowledged he did not want to shoulder the responsibility for doing so.

02:12:21.000 So this is where we're at.

02:12:24.000 As usual, we did not have a budget this year.

02:12:28.000 We never have a budget.

02:12:29.000 Congress just appropriates money when they start to run out.

02:12:34.000 And every time they appropriate money, both sides use it as leverage over the other.

02:12:39.000 Without a continuing resolution to keep the money going, the government defaults and the Biden administration doesn't want, or rather they don't default, but they shut down.

02:12:51.000 The Biden administration doesn't want to shut down because they might be blamed for it.

02:12:56.000 Republicans don't want to shut down because Democrats control the media and there's a good chance they won't make people believe that It's the Republicans' fault.

02:13:05.000 And so all the time, this has been the story of the past 30, 40 years.

02:13:10.000 We've covered many government shutdowns on the show and close calls.

02:13:15.000 Whenever there's a debt ceiling negotiation, an omnibus bill, a NDAA bill, there's always one of these showdowns over appropriations.

02:13:26.000 And it always turns into this.

02:13:30.000 Where they need to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government, again, to get through to another deadline.

02:13:40.000 They will negotiate with each other.

02:13:42.000 They know it's imperative that they pass it.

02:13:45.000 And then what you get is an unreadable bill right before Congress leaves and ends the session.

02:13:53.000 And it's filled with a bunch of junk.

02:13:55.000 And we saw this when they raised the debt ceiling.

02:13:58.000 We saw this all throughout last year.

02:14:00.000 This is what got Kevin McCarthy overthrown back in October 2023. About a week before October 7th, McCarthy was overthrown because the exact same thing happened.

02:14:10.000 They were trying to put together these 12 appropriations bills around the same time, roughly speaking.

02:14:18.000 Republicans wanted immigration.

02:14:20.000 The Democrats wanted money for Ukraine.

02:14:24.000 The Democrats wouldn't give on immigration.

02:14:26.000 Republicans wouldn't give on Ukraine.

02:14:28.000 Kevin McCarthy tried to outmaneuver Republicans to get it to the Senate.

02:14:32.000 Republicans torpedoed it, and then they overthrew him.

02:14:35.000 And there was a complete gridlock until April of last year.

02:14:41.000 So for about six months...

02:14:43.000 Until finally when Iran bombed Israel, Republicans and Democrats gave up both of their demands, although really more the Republicans, and they decided to pass the funding for Ukraine separately, pass the funding for Israel separately, pass the spending bill separately, and then not do anything on immigration.

02:15:04.000 And that brings us to where we are now.

02:15:07.000 That spending bill from April, when they gave up, that basically brings us to where we are right now.

02:15:16.000 Before that, again, it was this six months negotiation going back to October.

02:15:21.000 Before that, it was the debt ceiling negotiation in May and June of 2023, when Marjorie Greene and others let us down and they raised the debt ceiling until January 2025. They suspended it indefinitely.

02:15:37.000 Until January 2025, when a new president and a new Congress would come in.

02:15:43.000 And at the time, we said that was a terrible decision.

02:15:46.000 They shouldn't have done it.

02:15:47.000 They got nothing in return.

02:15:49.000 But anyway, so they kick it down the road.

02:15:52.000 It happens every time.

02:15:53.000 And this time, they're coming out with this bill.

02:15:56.000 And the bill ties a few things together for political pressure.

02:16:00.000 It says in order to fund the government and critically in order to get hurricane relief to North Carolina, you need all of this pork barrel spending.

02:16:12.000 And really what they're doing is holding these things hostage.

02:16:15.000 They're saying that if you don't pass our pork barrel spending, then we will deprive North Carolina of disaster relief money.

02:16:23.000 And we will also shut the government down, creating a political liability.

02:16:28.000 So there's political pressure coming from two places.

02:16:31.000 And the pressure is whoever...

02:16:35.000 Whoever refuses to relent will be blamed for the shutdown.

02:16:40.000 And whoever is blamed for the shutdown will also be blamed for holding up the money to people that need it, to people who are impacted by the hurricanes in Florida and North Carolina earlier in the year.

02:16:53.000 So people especially, congressmen especially, don't want to be blamed.

02:16:57.000 Again, not only for not voting for it and causing a shutdown, which is already bad PR, but causing the shutdown which stalls or withholds indefinitely relief money for the victims of a natural disaster.

02:17:12.000 And that is how they get every member of Congress to pass a bill, which they didn't read.

02:17:18.000 It's 1,500 pages published.

02:17:21.000 Think about that for one moment.

02:17:23.000 It came out this week.

02:17:27.000 They needed to be passed by Friday.

02:17:30.000 So you tell me, who could read 1,500 pages in a matter of days?

02:17:37.000 Who is doing that?

02:17:38.000 Do you think the members are doing that?

02:17:41.000 Do you think it's even possible?

02:17:43.000 I seriously doubt it.

02:17:45.000 But that's what they do.

02:17:48.000 They go into the negotiations saying we're going to pass funding for the government.

02:17:52.000 They come out of negotiations a few days before the deadline and Congress closes for winter.

02:17:58.000 And they say, hey guys, yeah, actually the plan's changed.

02:18:02.000 It's now 1,500 pages.

02:18:03.000 It does about a dozen other things other than fund the government.

02:18:08.000 And if you don't pass it, then the government shuts down.

02:18:12.000 And not only that, but no one gets their relief money for the hurricane.

02:18:17.000 And if you are seen or accused of being the cause of that, well then, you might lose your seat.

02:18:26.000 You'll be blamed for all of it.

02:18:27.000 You'll be blamed for the shutdown and for withholding the money to people that lost their homes and need medical care because their house got washed away in a river surge in a hurricane, a storm surge in a hurricane.

02:18:41.000 This is how they do it.

02:18:43.000 This is how they do it every time.

02:18:44.000 And by the way, Maybe the biggest problem is what is not considered in the bill, which Trump pointed out.

02:18:51.000 Not only does the bill attach the hurricane relief money to these other things, many of which aren't even good, but it also doesn't address the debt ceiling.

02:19:01.000 And what happens in January, what is talked about in this article, what Trump posted on True Social, what I mentioned a moment ago, is the debt ceiling.

02:19:11.000 So for those who don't know...

02:19:14.000 The debt ceiling is this instrument that was imposed by the government in the last century.

02:19:20.000 It says that there is a limit to how much money the government can borrow.

02:19:25.000 Pretty intuitive.

02:19:26.000 It's a debt ceiling.

02:19:29.000 And the problem is this.

02:19:31.000 The government does not bring in enough money in tax receipts every year to pay its obligations.

02:19:40.000 We run a deficit year over year.

02:19:42.000 Lately, the deficits have exploded.

02:19:44.000 The deficits are in the trillions of dollars, and we've been adding trillions of dollars to the debt every year since the pandemic.

02:19:53.000 And even before then, but it really got out of control around the time of the pandemic.

02:19:59.000 And so we reached the debt ceiling.

02:20:02.000 Even though the money has been appropriated, meaning that Congress has authorized the use of the funds, they have not increased the amount of money that we can borrow to meet those obligations.

02:20:19.000 So, for example, last year, in 2023, Congress was authorized to spend so many trillions of dollars on But in order to spend them, we would have crossed the threshold of the borrowing limit set by a previous Congress.

02:20:37.000 And so we literally could not borrow the cash to pay for the obligations that Congress had already authorized.

02:20:47.000 So there had to be a negotiation in the Congress to increase the borrowing limit so we could borrow cash to keep funding or obligations for these appropriations, which had already been approved by the Congress.

02:21:03.000 And so they did that last June in May and June 2023.

02:21:08.000 There was a big negotiation over it.

02:21:10.000 And the reason it's a negotiation is because it is leverage.

02:21:14.000 The government shut down.

02:21:15.000 The debt ceiling is leverage.

02:21:17.000 If they don't raise the debt ceiling, then the government literally can't borrow money.

02:21:22.000 And if it can't borrow money, then it has no money to pay its obligations.

02:21:25.000 They have to wait for tax receipts to come in.

02:21:28.000 And that doesn't happen until the following April.

02:21:31.000 You don't get all the money until the end of the next tax season.

02:21:34.000 So what happens is the government defaults on its debt.

02:21:39.000 If the government doesn't have the money to pay for interest, if it doesn't have the money to pay for Medicare and Social Security, it starts to default.

02:21:47.000 It starts to break down.

02:21:49.000 And if the government defaults, there's a huge ripple effect in the economy.

02:21:54.000 There's a huge contraction.

02:21:55.000 It would be a major problem.

02:21:58.000 And theoretically, it's argued that it could be solved a monetary policy, but that would be extraordinary.

02:22:06.000 So this gives Congress and particularly the House of Representatives leverage.

02:22:11.000 The House of Representatives has the power of the purse under the Constitution.

02:22:15.000 All spending bills, all appropriations bills must originate in the House, which at the time Republicans controlled.

02:22:22.000 So last year during the summer, the Biden administration needed the House to pass legislation.

02:22:29.000 A bill to raise the debt ceiling so they could keep borrowing money to meet their obligations to avoid a default to crash the economy, which would be very bad for them.

02:22:41.000 This is where Republicans are in the driver's seat, or at least they should be.

02:22:44.000 And they should extract concessions and say, well, we were elected to control the House.

02:22:50.000 We were elected to control the purse strings.

02:22:53.000 And we believe the spending is irresponsible and out of control.

02:22:57.000 And if you want us to increase the debt ceiling, then we need a commitment to rein in the deficit spending.

02:23:02.000 That is what Republicans should have done.

02:23:05.000 Or they should have said, we want to extract other concessions.

02:23:09.000 In order for us to raise the debt ceiling, we want the capital tapes released.

02:23:13.000 We want border security.

02:23:17.000 Illegal immigration is causing a debt crisis in New York City, in Los Angeles, in Chicago, and for the federal government.

02:23:26.000 All these immigrants are coming in. 1.00

02:23:29.000 It's bankrupting the cities.

02:23:30.000 The cities need to be bailed out by the states.

02:23:32.000 The states need to be bailed out by the federal government.

02:23:36.000 It's not outside the realm of possibility that Republicans say, we're not going to raise a debt ceiling because we have a completely irresponsible illegal immigration policy which is driving the deficit.

02:23:49.000 They didn't do that.

02:23:50.000 They raised the debt ceiling, meaning that the government could borrow as much as it wanted until 2025, conveniently, when the next government comes to power, when the next Congress is seated in the first week of January, and when the next president, whether it was Trump or Biden, would be inaugurated on January 20th.

02:24:11.000 Republicans gave it up for nothing last year.

02:24:14.000 And so now that Trump has won the election, guess what happens in January?

02:24:18.000 He goes crashing into the debt ceiling.

02:24:21.000 The debt ceiling is reasserted in January.

02:24:23.000 They run out of money in July.

02:24:26.000 And what happens?

02:24:27.000 It sets Trump up for a brutal negotiation to raise the debt ceiling.

02:24:35.000 And this is what I've been talking about all year.

02:24:37.000 This is how politics actually works.

02:24:40.000 If you are optimistic about Trump and his second term and what might be possible, consider that there are three branches of government and the other two are not cooperative.

02:24:50.000 Honestly, three of them are not cooperative with the president because the executive branch is now a vast bureaucracy made up of departments and agencies which are run by rhinos that Trump will largely appoint and many who will turn over from the last administration.

02:25:06.000 And this is one of those battles where you see this on full display.

02:25:13.000 Trump is inaugurated in January and six months after his inauguration, he finds himself in a massive appropriations battle where Democrats and moderate Republicans have leverage.

02:25:25.000 They're all thinking about the midterm elections in 2026 and they're all thinking about an up and down vote on an appropriations bill.

02:25:34.000 And almost certainly the Democrats and moderate Republicans are going to say they oppose Trump's most radical policies or they want certain concessions for the Democrats.

02:25:47.000 And certainly they'll say that in the Senate.

02:25:50.000 So it puts Trump in a position where he's bent over a barrel here.

02:25:55.000 He needs them to raise the debt ceiling because his treasury needs to be able to borrow to meet their obligations.

02:26:02.000 But he needs to go through Congress, which is made up of Republican leadership, which is hostile to his agenda.

02:26:07.000 And where Democrats still have the power of the filibuster in the Senate and where Democrats still have like nearly 50 percent of the seats in the House.

02:26:18.000 Republicans will have the smallest majority in history in the House of Representatives in the next two years.

02:26:23.000 So Trump is saying now, hey, let's raise the debt ceiling while Biden is the president.

02:26:31.000 Why would we raise the debt ceiling for Biden in June 2023?

02:26:37.000 But why would we not do that for the incoming Trump administration in January?

02:26:42.000 In other words, why set the administration up to fail in a high-stakes negotiation, which will be bad politics?

02:26:50.000 And it's bad politics, one, because he's at the mercy of Congress, and two, it's bad politics because it creates this hypocrisy.

02:27:00.000 Trump ran on a platform of fiscal responsibility.

02:27:04.000 Well, how does that look if six months into his presidency he's raising the debt ceiling?

02:27:11.000 Doesn't that look like he can't get the debt under control?

02:27:14.000 Obviously, in practice, no president can undo our structural economic problems in six months.

02:27:21.000 And certainly they can't do it alone.

02:27:23.000 And yet, if he is forced to raise the debt ceiling with the Republican House and Senate in July, he will be attacked for it.

02:27:33.000 And they'll say, I thought Trump came in to solve the debt.

02:27:36.000 Here he is asking for more debt.

02:27:38.000 And Republicans might be reluctant to cooperate with him for that reason.

02:27:42.000 Suddenly, Mike Johnson might become a fiscal conservative.

02:27:47.000 Even though Kevin McCarthy, without even any concessions, raised the debt ceiling.

02:27:52.000 Maybe Mike Johnson suddenly says, now is the time for restraint.

02:27:56.000 Now is the time for austerity.

02:27:58.000 And all this does is circumscribe Trump's options as the president.

02:28:03.000 If Trump has priorities, this is where Mike Johnson gets to become a fiscal hawk and say, oh, I'm terribly sorry.

02:28:11.000 But we can't do what you want us to do because we have to get our spending in control in order to raise the debt ceiling and good conscience.

02:28:19.000 In order for us to allow you to borrow more money, first we need to do the responsible thing and make commitments to borrow less money in the future.

02:28:28.000 And all that does is handcuff the president. 0.77

02:28:30.000 That means that Biden got to spend as much money as he wanted.

02:28:34.000 He got to print money to give to Ukraine, print money to give to black people as COVID stimulus, and Which prioritize non-whites and women. 0.93

02:28:44.000 He got to print money for chips, print money for infrastructure.

02:28:47.000 He got to print money for all the good stuff and get all the glory and the credit.

02:28:51.000 And then when Trump comes into office, suddenly his so-called allies are going to want to tighten the belt and say, hey, not so fast.

02:29:02.000 Now is the time for austerity.

02:29:04.000 So Trump acutely understands the battle to come and Which is that in just seven months from now, not six months into his presidency, he's going to face this debt ceiling battle.

02:29:18.000 And actually in March, he's going to face another appropriations battle, which will come due around the same time, around May or June.

02:29:26.000 He's thinking ahead, saying, why would we give the Democrats all this stuff that they want?

02:29:33.000 In a continuing resolution when we won the mandate, why will we let Biden get one more victory?

02:29:39.000 Why will we let him and the Democrats ride off into the sunset and saddle Trump with this negotiation over the debt ceiling?

02:29:48.000 So Trump and Elon have intervened to sabotage the deal.

02:29:52.000 And here's how it works.

02:29:54.000 Mike Johnson was probably planning on passing the bill along party lines with Republicans or maybe with a lot of Democrats.

02:30:03.000 You have a Republican-controlled House.

02:30:05.000 You have a Democrat-controlled Senate.

02:30:08.000 Johnson made a deal with Schumer, the leader of the Senate, on this bill.

02:30:14.000 We pass the bill in the House, pass it in the Senate, it becomes law.

02:30:17.000 It's a done deal.

02:30:20.000 Well, since Trump started to launch a revolt and other Republicans started to revolt in the party, Mike Johnson considered invoking a special rule, which requires two-thirds of the vote, but he would get a good percentage of Republicans and then mostly Democrats to bypass the majority of Republicans and get it through the House to get to the Senate.

02:30:43.000 So in other words, instead of getting—instead of the Republican-controlled House passing the bill with most Republicans and Democrats, he would discount the objections of most Republicans, get a small fraction of them, and then all the Democrats to basically betray the Republicans, get it past them.

02:31:04.000 It requires a higher vote threshold, but if he can combine powers with the Democrats, he could get it through— And he could deliver it to Chuck Schumer, who will then deliver it to Biden for it to be signed.

02:31:17.000 That was his plan B. That's exactly what Kevin McCarthy did.

02:31:21.000 But with the intervention of Elon Musk and Trump on social media, now they don't even have enough Republican votes to do that.

02:31:28.000 Now that Elon is threatening to spotlight every Republican that votes for it, now they don't even have the Republican support.

02:31:36.000 With the majority of Democrats or all of them to get it through the House.

02:31:41.000 So now they have no votes.

02:31:42.000 And here's the problem.

02:31:44.000 They have no votes on the bill that they negotiated with the Democrats.

02:31:50.000 But they also have no votes on any other kind of bill.

02:31:54.000 They have no votes on a clean bill.

02:31:57.000 They have no votes on a bill that addresses the debt ceiling.

02:32:01.000 So there is no viable bill with the votes, and the deadline is on Friday.

02:32:07.000 And these are some of the things that are in it.

02:32:09.000 I'll just read to you a list of the provisions.

02:32:12.000 This is from the New York Times also.

02:32:14.000 It says, quote, The bill also provides full funding for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore that collapsed in March.

02:32:42.000 Lawmakers set aside $10 billion in direct assistance available to farmers who applied for a federal agricultural funding program.

02:32:51.000 In a legislative slate of hand reported by Bloomberg, the spending bill's drafters omitted that provision, this time positioning members for a 3.8% raise Or $6,600 for most members.

02:33:06.000 Tucked into the legislation is $250 million in emergency spending to increase access to childcare for working families.

02:33:14.000 $250 million for innovations to childcare facilities damaged by natural disasters.

02:33:20.000 It allows E15 ethanol to be sold year-round.

02:33:24.000 An additional $25 million to protect the residences of Supreme Court justices.

02:33:31.000 Requires vendors selling tickets to concert sports and other gatherings to disclose to consumers the total ticket price at the beginning of a transaction.

02:33:40.000 Transfers control of the Robert Kennedy Memorial Stadium from the federal government to the District of Columbia, paving the way for a Washington Commanders football stadium.

02:33:51.000 Criminalizes the publication of non-consensual intimate visual depictions including deep fake pornography and requiring social media platforms to have procedures in place to remove the content.

02:34:03.000 Increases new restrictions on pharmacy benefit managers.

02:34:07.000 Throws out a requirement the lawmakers buy healthcare coverage on an insurance exchange established by the ACA. So I actually don't know which of these is a give-me to the Democrats.

02:34:32.000 They're going out there and saying, this bill gives all this stuff to the Democrats.

02:34:38.000 None of this is really ideologically that bad, as far as I'm aware.

02:34:45.000 I understand why maybe Republicans don't want Democrats to get the credit for some of it or why some of it is not ideal.

02:34:52.000 People are complaining about the stadium.

02:34:55.000 Honestly, who cares?

02:34:57.000 I don't think that's the real objection.

02:34:59.000 Trump and Musk are saying the problem is all this pork.

02:35:03.000 The problem is it's too long and there's too much crap in there.

02:35:05.000 They do it every time.

02:35:08.000 They do that in every bill.

02:35:10.000 For some reason, they want to sabotage the process.

02:35:16.000 And I think that is maybe to start a negotiation over the debt ceiling.

02:35:23.000 Maybe it is to set a precedent with the Trump administration's role with Congress.

02:35:29.000 And I've said it before on the show, Congress remains one of the biggest obstacles to Trump's agenda.

02:35:35.000 This was the case throughout his first term.

02:35:37.000 Trump wanted a border wall.

02:35:40.000 Congress wouldn't give him the money.

02:35:41.000 He tried to take the money from the DOD, which Congress already authorized.

02:35:46.000 And then the courts challenged that use of the money.

02:35:50.000 They had to fight it through the courts.

02:35:51.000 It took years.

02:35:52.000 That's just one example.

02:35:54.000 But there were many others.

02:35:55.000 And so Congress delayed and stalled and sabotaged for years until Trump lost the House in 2018.

02:36:03.000 And then there was gridlock until the end and he couldn't get any major policy through Congress.

02:36:09.000 And so I almost wonder if this is more of a chess move, it's strategy, so that Trump and Elon will be in a stronger position to negotiate with Congress next year to reset that relationship.

02:36:24.000 Maybe that's the play.

02:36:26.000 Outside of that, I don't understand it.

02:36:30.000 Because the way it looks right now is that there will not be a deal.

02:36:33.000 And if there's no deal, there's going to be a government shutdown on Friday.

02:36:37.000 Right?

02:36:38.000 And if there's a government shutdown on Friday, Congress leaves for Christmas.

02:36:42.000 They come back and then the new Congress is seated and then maybe the thought process is they'll be able to pass a bill with a Republican House and Senate.

02:36:51.000 I guess that's the approach.

02:36:54.000 The new Congress will be seated the first week in January.

02:36:57.000 If it's a government shutdown, that's in three weeks.

02:37:01.000 So maybe that's the goal.

02:37:03.000 Wait for a Republican Senate to be seated and With 54 votes in the majority, or 53 plus one, wait for a new house to be seated, they'll retain their majority, then they don't have to negotiate with the Democrats.

02:37:19.000 Maybe that's the play.

02:37:20.000 And then they could start off with a huge spending bill, they could address the debt ceiling while Biden is still technically the president.

02:37:27.000 I think maybe that's the play.

02:37:31.000 Shut down the government for a few weeks in the lame duck.

02:37:31.000 Push it off.

02:37:34.000 New Congress comes in.

02:37:36.000 Pass the bill.

02:37:38.000 Then the ball is in Biden's court.

02:37:40.000 Republican House and Senate do whatever they want.

02:37:43.000 They do whatever Trump and Elon instruct them to do.

02:37:45.000 Lands on Biden's desk if he refuses.

02:37:48.000 Then he's the shutdown president.

02:37:52.000 And if he refuses, then ultimately they could just wait until January 20th and then Trump can sign whatever they pass.

02:37:58.000 I guess maybe that's the goal.

02:37:59.000 And then they could rewrite it and they could have the debt ceiling in there at the beginning or whatever other provision they want.

02:38:06.000 Either way, I love to see it because this is exactly the approach that we're going to need.

02:38:14.000 If Trump is going to achieve anything in the next four years, he needs to reset the relationship of the executive with the legislative because the biggest unspoken problem of American government is just how much power has been relinquished by the actual elected officials.

02:38:32.000 Congress actually has very little power.

02:38:35.000 It is the think tanks and the lobbyists and the Congressional staffers that are responsible for most of the legislation.

02:38:45.000 It is the departments and agencies inside the executive branch which actually interpret and enforce those laws.

02:38:53.000 And so we're at the point now where the president and the actual elected members of the Congress don't do very much.

02:39:03.000 And they do a lot, but considering the vast business, the sprawling federal government, they do very little in relation to the actual day-to-day activities of the state.

02:39:15.000 We have had the government change hands many times over the years.

02:39:19.000 The House, the Senate, the White House, and yet almost everything remains exactly the same.

02:39:24.000 Immigration, healthcare, foreign policy.

02:39:27.000 Many of these things remain the same and have momentum.

02:39:30.000 It doesn't matter who's in office.

02:39:32.000 And so if Trump can take full control of the executive, and if he can reset the relationship with Congress and exert some leadership there, it will be a true political revolution.

02:39:43.000 I hope he goes in that direction.

02:39:45.000 The only problem is, now that Elon Musk is behind Trump, this is becoming somewhat of a problem.

02:39:54.000 And let's remember, Elon Musk was not born in the United States of America.

02:39:59.000 Elon is an immigrant, right? 0.64

02:40:02.000 He is an immigrant.

02:40:03.000 He is a liberal.

02:40:04.000 And how much influence will he have over the government?

02:40:07.000 This legislation was torpedoed largely because of his reservations, his protest, which he posted all day on Twitter.

02:40:18.000 So is he just going to run the government now?

02:40:21.000 Is some immigrant tech oligarch, is he just solely in charge of the government now? 0.89

02:40:28.000 He's in charge of the Republicans, which control the House, Senate, and White House.

02:40:32.000 If he doesn't like it, it doesn't go.

02:40:35.000 And you might think that's an improvement over the last administration, over the old regime.

02:40:40.000 And maybe you're right.

02:40:41.000 Maybe it is an improvement.

02:40:43.000 But what happens when Elon advocates for expanding H-1B visas?

02:40:48.000 What happens when he advocates for stapling green cards to diplomas?

02:40:52.000 It's going to be a different story.

02:40:55.000 So I don't know that this is necessarily the best thing to happen.

02:41:01.000 But...

02:41:03.000 It does indicate that the Trump administration is at least serious about achieving its priorities in the next term because they're not going to be able to do anything if they're shackled to an uncooperative Republican majority.

02:41:16.000 But that's that.

02:41:17.000 I think that's all the time we have.

02:41:19.000 We're almost at, I think we're at about an hour and 15. So we're going to move on.

02:41:22.000 We're going to take a look at our super chats.

02:41:24.000 We'll see what you guys have to say.

02:41:26.000 About all this pretty boring stuff.

02:41:28.000 I'm not going to lie, but you know, it's like the end of the year.

02:41:31.000 So, so it is what it is, but, um, yeah, I don't know the appropriation stuff.

02:41:41.000 It always happens around this time of the year and it's important, but damn, is it boring.

02:41:51.000 I'm falling asleep talking about it.

02:41:53.000 Okay, but we're going to take a look at our super chats.

02:41:55.000 We'll see what you guys have to say about all this.

02:42:00.000 I'll get my headphones on.

02:42:06.000 Okay, let's take a look.

02:42:10.000 We'll see what you have to say about all this.

02:42:13.000 We actually have a super chat left over from yesterday.

02:42:17.000 It's so funny.

02:42:18.000 I literally ended the show last night.

02:42:21.000 And then I got this super chat.

02:42:23.000 Peter Bueno sent $300.

02:42:25.000 No message.

02:42:26.000 So thank you to Peter Bueno for the huge super chat.

02:42:31.000 That honestly sucks.

02:42:33.000 I apologize.

02:42:34.000 He literally sent it in the exact minute that I ended the show.

02:42:39.000 I like clicked go offline and then boom, the super chat came in.

02:42:44.000 That kind of sucks.

02:42:45.000 You sent 300 bucks.

02:42:46.000 I don't even read it.

02:42:47.000 So I wanted to make sure I read that.

02:42:50.000 Thank you for the big super chat.

02:42:52.000 I do appreciate it.

02:42:53.000 I apologize.

02:42:54.000 I didn't get it last night.

02:42:56.000 For future reference, though, if you want to send in a huge super chat, do a little earlier.

02:43:01.000 I feel bad, but it's not really my fault.

02:43:03.000 It's really your fault.

02:43:05.000 So I'm just giving you some advice, but I do appreciate it.

02:43:09.000 Big shout out.

02:43:12.000 But that's from yesterday.

02:43:13.000 So thank you for that.

02:43:50.000 Because he's owned by Jews? 1.00

02:43:52.000 Dr. Grow Iper sent $50.

02:43:53.000 Have you seen the gold check mark from Project Grow Iper?

02:43:55.000 America First is inevitable.

02:43:57.000 I did, yes.

02:44:00.000 Very cool.

02:44:01.000 I don't even know who's behind that account, but it looks like an interesting project.

02:44:05.000 Staten Island Grow, I percent $5.

02:44:08.000 Please, we need to know, what did Christine from Ohio send to the P.O. Box?

02:44:12.000 Okay.

02:44:15.000 True.

02:44:17.000 Thank you, man.

02:44:31.000 I appreciate it.

02:44:34.000 You know, I don't want to comment on their marriage.

02:44:36.000 That's personal.

02:44:38.000 And I like Candace.

02:44:39.000 I consider her an acquaintance.

02:44:41.000 I don't know if she would call me a friend, but I consider her an acquaintance at this point.

02:44:46.000 I don't want to talk badly about her family.

02:44:49.000 Look, you know I don't share those values.

02:44:52.000 I do not believe in race mixing. 1.00

02:44:56.000 And it's not because I don't like other races.

02:44:59.000 I find Candace Owens very attractive. 1.00

02:45:01.000 I find black women very attractive. 1.00

02:45:03.000 I find Asian women very attractive. 1.00

02:45:07.000 So it's not...

02:45:08.000 And you know many of my closest friends are Asian women. 0.99

02:45:13.000 Kathy Zhu, Michelle Malkin, Gina Bontempo, Gina Florio.

02:45:20.000 You know, and Asian women are super intelligent. 1.00

02:45:24.000 They're super smart.

02:45:25.000 They're super awesome.

02:45:28.000 But I wouldn't marry one because I want my kids to be white. 1.00

02:45:32.000 So, you know, it's just one of those things.

02:45:36.000 It's like, what do you value?

02:45:37.000 I don't know.

02:45:38.000 I mean, I guess some people don't value their race.

02:45:42.000 I do.

02:45:43.000 So, so it's not something I would do and I don't encourage it, but, you know, to each their own.

02:45:59.000 So, Hey, thank you for the big super chat, man.

02:46:20.000 Little dap for the holidays.

02:46:23.000 Dap completed.

02:46:24.000 Thank you, man.

02:46:36.000 I'm like, you got to get a load of this.

02:46:39.000 More breaking, more Irish politics analysis.

02:46:42.000 Staten Island Groyper sent $5.

02:46:43.000 Hawk Twa Girl or 100 Guys in One Day Girl. 0.50

02:46:47.000 Ooh, uh, definitely Hawk Tua.

02:46:50.000 $20.

02:46:51.000 I'm glad I can finally say that I've always thought Kilgore was a faggot twink rifter. 1.00

02:46:54.000 Imaging crashing out for some wart puss.

02:46:56.000 Some people just can't hang.

02:46:58.000 Superfan number one sent $20.

02:47:00.000 Got my first client since starting my business.

02:47:02.000 Here's your cut.

02:47:04.000 Great, thanks.

02:47:05.000 Cookie grow up or sent $5.

02:47:07.000 The next four years is going to be one backpedal after another, isn't it?

02:47:11.000 Yeah, it already has been, man.

02:47:13.000 What do you mean, what happened to him?

02:47:26.000 I mean, he's the same guy he always was.

02:47:28.000 He's an idiot dork.

02:47:30.000 He's an idiot sellout dork.

02:47:33.000 I mean, he literally told me, you know, this guy was a groiper, and he literally told me, You know, because he has a contract with Blaze.

02:47:43.000 He said, oh, I interviewed with the head of the Blaze.

02:47:45.000 He flew me out.

02:47:47.000 They called me into the boardroom.

02:47:48.000 They asked me about Israel.

02:47:49.000 And he told me how he lied through his teeth about Israel and took this, like, pragmatic position so that he could get a contract.

02:47:57.000 And now he just started believing it.

02:47:59.000 Whatever lies he told to get a job there, he just started believing it.

02:48:04.000 So nothing changed.

02:48:07.000 And...

02:48:09.000 You know, the other thing is they—these guys are just not intelligent.

02:48:12.000 Like, if you listen to Doyle and if you have your ear to the ground in the scene, he just copies what people like Darren Beattie say.

02:48:23.000 That's just what Darren Beattie, every like Jew apologist is saying the exact same stuff. 0.55

02:48:29.000 I'm sure he hangs out in those group chats.

02:48:32.000 He was groomed by them.

02:48:33.000 And so that's where he's getting his opinions.

02:48:36.000 He has no ideas.

02:48:37.000 He has no real thoughts.

02:48:39.000 So he just borrows from what people in the group chats are saying and the group chats are run by Jews. 0.91

02:48:44.000 So that's where you get these videos where he says, oh, no, no.

02:48:50.000 When Trump took $100 million from Miriam Adelson, that really doesn't mean anything at all.

02:48:56.000 That didn't come with strings attached.

02:48:59.000 And you go, really?

02:49:00.000 Well, what about Golan Heights?

02:49:02.000 What about Qasem Soleimani?

02:49:03.000 What about the JCPOA? And they say, what's the JCPOA? They say, who's Qasem Soleimani?

02:49:10.000 They say, oh, that's not real.

02:49:12.000 So, I mean, these are just dumb, ignorant losers, basically.

02:49:17.000 And they just never moved on past 2016.

02:49:19.000 Thank you.

02:49:23.000 Cool story.

02:50:11.000 Raise your hand if you became a Groyper because of Evan Kilgore and Morgan Ariel.

02:50:17.000 That's what I thought.

02:50:22.000 Get off my porch, Grover.

02:50:25.000 That is interesting.

02:50:36.000 Yep.

02:50:38.000 I hate questions like this.

02:50:53.000 Look, it's me.

02:50:55.000 It's all me.

02:50:56.000 People that do more prep don't do as good of a show as me because they just don't have it.

02:51:01.000 They're just not good talkers.

02:51:05.000 Some people are good at talking.

02:51:06.000 Some people are bad at talking.

02:51:08.000 I'm a good talker.

02:51:09.000 I'm a good extemporaneous speaker.

02:51:11.000 And you only get to put on a show that's entertaining like this if you have a natural ability and if you practice for thousands of hours from a very young age.

02:51:24.000 And that's me.

02:51:25.000 I'm him.

02:51:26.000 You know, I did extemporaneous speaking in high school.

02:51:30.000 I did speech teams, speech forensics.

02:51:33.000 And I was a star.

02:51:34.000 I was like first place.

02:51:36.000 I went on a run.

02:51:37.000 I won first place for like five weeks in a row.

02:51:42.000 And I didn't even give a shit.

02:51:43.000 I mean, I took it less seriously than anybody.

02:51:46.000 I just lied out of my ass in those speeches.

02:51:50.000 But I was the GOAT. I would just show up.

02:51:53.000 It was this event, so I'll just tell you about what a W I was.

02:52:00.000 If you don't know, Speech Forensics, that's what they call Speech Team, and they break it down into a bunch of different events.

02:52:08.000 You might be on the speech team, but everybody on the team does a different type of speech.

02:52:14.000 Some people will read poetry.

02:52:16.000 Some people will memorize a speech and give the same speech.

02:52:21.000 Some people will do all kinds of different things.

02:52:25.000 They'll write an original speech.

02:52:27.000 Some people memorize someone else's speech.

02:52:29.000 My event was called Extemporaneous Speaking.

02:52:32.000 I did two other...

02:52:33.000 I did a different event my freshman year.

02:52:35.000 I did a different event my sophomore year.

02:52:37.000 Junior year, I did Extemporaneous Speaking.

02:52:40.000 And in this event, you would go in, and it was different than any other event.

02:52:46.000 So you'd go to the tournament or whatever, and...

02:52:52.000 Everybody else would be practicing their speeches, memorizing, whatever.

02:52:57.000 For extemporaneous speakers, you would all meet in the library.

02:53:01.000 Every team member who was doing that event would meet in the library.

02:53:07.000 So all the extemp people from all the different schools, all the different teams would go to the library.

02:53:13.000 And you would get called up one by one and pull three slips of paper out of an envelope at random.

02:53:21.000 And the three slips of paper had a topic on them, a current events topic.

02:53:26.000 They were questions.

02:53:27.000 And you'd be able to pull three and you'd pick one.

02:53:30.000 And you would give a speech about that.

02:53:33.000 You'd have 45 minutes to prepare a speech that is seven minutes long.

02:53:40.000 That's why it's extemporaneous.

02:53:42.000 It's off the cuff.

02:53:43.000 So you go into the library.

02:53:44.000 They call you up one by one.

02:53:46.000 You pick out of a hat.

02:53:48.000 It's a blind draw.

02:53:48.000 And you get three.

02:53:50.000 And you get to pick the one that you're most prepared for.

02:53:53.000 Now, here's the catch.

02:53:55.000 Here's what makes you might think that sounds easy.

02:53:57.000 It's not.

02:53:58.000 Because every speech, you have to have six full citations.

02:54:06.000 Meaning, you have to have a publication.

02:54:09.000 You have to have the date and the quote.

02:54:11.000 And you couldn't use the internet.

02:54:13.000 So you had to sit at a table with no cards and a pen, and you'd actually have to bring a physical box of news stories that you had printed out in advance of the tournament.

02:54:25.000 You'd actually have to go on the internet, do research, print articles on fucking paper, and put them in a file, in like a filing box, inside of files, by category.

02:54:38.000 So one category might be healthcare, one might be the Middle East, one might be the economy.

02:54:44.000 And you'd know what your research was.

02:54:47.000 You'd have to go and pick these topics and you'd have to evaluate, which topic do I have the most research on?

02:54:54.000 And then you have to go and sit and And you get 45 minutes to prepare a seven-minute speech with six sources, meaning you have to pull these clippings and memorize the date, the publication, and the information.

02:55:11.000 So you'd have to say, you know, maybe one question was, talk about the rise of the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

02:55:21.000 You know, that was going on at the time in like 2014, 2015. You know, one of the questions would be like, what will the effect of the Houthi rebels coming to power in Yemen be?

02:55:32.000 And you'd have to say, well, the effect will be, one, this expands Iran's influence in the region. 0.76

02:55:38.000 Two, this is going to draw Saudi Arabia into the war.

02:55:43.000 And three, it's going to have an effect on oil prices.

02:55:45.000 And for each point, you need two citations.

02:55:48.000 You need to say, according to Associated Press on February 6, 2014, The Houthis gained control of Yemen after they overthrew the government, blah, blah, blah.

02:55:58.000 You have to memorize all that, write out a note card, and then memorize the speech.

02:56:03.000 And then, boom, you'd have to give the speech.

02:56:06.000 And I would literally show up, and I would just...

02:56:09.000 I hated speech team.

02:56:12.000 You know, the people were nice enough, but it was basically like theater, and I didn't like that.

02:56:17.000 All the people on the speech team were either girls or gay guys.

02:56:22.000 And I was really in my heart of hearts like a model UN guy.

02:56:26.000 I love model United Nations.

02:56:28.000 And model UN and speech had a huge rivalry.

02:56:31.000 So I didn't take it seriously.

02:56:33.000 I was like, fuck these people.

02:56:35.000 I thought this was about politics.

02:56:38.000 You know, when I signed up for speech team, I thought it was like a political thing and then it's like a theater thing.

02:56:45.000 So I picked the most political event.

02:56:47.000 And so I would show up and just raw dog it.

02:56:49.000 I would sit on the back of the bus, put my headphones in.

02:56:53.000 I go to the thing and then I would make a point to not practice.

02:56:57.000 I would literally sit there.

02:56:58.000 I'd write my note card and then I would just sit there and And I would just go over it in my head internally.

02:57:05.000 Everybody else would be like talking to the wall.

02:57:08.000 Everybody else, it was so fucking cringe.

02:57:11.000 Everybody else would be like, they would write out their speech and then they'd stand in the hallway in front of like a locker because it took place at like high schools.

02:57:19.000 And they would be giving the speech to the locker.

02:57:22.000 You'd literally walk up and down the hall and there'd be 25 people like giving a speech to the locker.

02:57:28.000 It's like that gif of the black guy talking to a brick wall. 0.79

02:57:30.000 They'd literally be there like, And they'd be giving a speech to the wall.

02:57:35.000 And I'm like, fuck that.

02:57:37.000 I'm raw-dogging it.

02:57:38.000 I'm not giving a speech to the wall.

02:57:42.000 I said, I'm going to stand there menacingly.

02:57:45.000 I'm going to stand there leering out the window with my arms folded.

02:57:50.000 And I wanted them to watch me not take it seriously.

02:57:55.000 Like, I wanted the supervisor to watch me not give a shit.

02:58:00.000 I wanted them to watch me and question, why is he not taking it seriously?

02:58:05.000 Why isn't he practicing?

02:58:06.000 So that I could go in and just be like, I don't need to practice.

02:58:11.000 This is stupid, you know?

02:58:13.000 And then I would go in and blow them all away.

02:58:17.000 I did no clippings.

02:58:18.000 My coach hated me because I never clipped anything.

02:58:22.000 She would be like, you gotta do more clippings.

02:58:25.000 I'm like, I don't need that.

02:58:26.000 I'll just use the same ones from last week.

02:58:30.000 And I remember there was one guy.

02:58:33.000 I beat him three weeks in a row.

02:58:36.000 Literally, I came first, he came second three weeks in a row.

02:58:41.000 And he was like...

02:58:43.000 The biggest try-hard ever.

02:58:46.000 These speech people, they took it really seriously.

02:58:49.000 They would basically cheat because they would come with these, like, elaborate, pre-written, like, preambles.

02:58:56.000 You know, it's like a basic five-paragraph structure, introduction, three points, conclusion.

02:59:02.000 And it was like a cliché.

02:59:04.000 They would all come in with these elaborate, pre-written introductions and And they would always relate it to like Greek mythology.

02:59:13.000 And they would all do these really like overly choreographed.

02:59:17.000 It was like a very particular style.

02:59:20.000 And they'd go in and be like, the Greek myth of Sisyphus.

02:59:23.000 He's pushing the boulder up.

02:59:25.000 That's kind of like how Barack Obama can't overcome Congress.

02:59:29.000 It was so fucking gay. 1.00

02:59:31.000 And I would come in there and I would give just the most off-the-wall...

02:59:38.000 One time I went in there, I actually lost because of this.

02:59:42.000 It was about Obama or something.

02:59:47.000 I forget what the actual topic was, but I came in and said something like, it was like a baseball analogy.

02:59:56.000 And I was like, well, Barack Obama could be forgiven for not understanding the rules of baseball, given that he was born in Kenya.

03:00:04.000 And you've got to keep in mind, that's not super edgy now, but back in those days, super edgy, and the judges were extremely liberal.

03:00:13.000 So I would go in and just say crazy shit like that, and this guy would come in week after week, And kept getting more desperate.

03:00:22.000 It was crazy because, you know, the way it works is you would go and you do three rounds, you know, where, you know, you and the other extent people, you go into a room and you give your speech.

03:00:36.000 Next guy comes in, gives his speech, sits down.

03:00:39.000 Next guy comes in, gives his speech, sits down.

03:00:41.000 You do three rounds like that.

03:00:43.000 They pick the top scorer.

03:00:45.000 Whoever had the highest average of the three rounds, the top seven or six, go to the final round.

03:00:54.000 You get one last round.

03:00:55.000 You write one more speech.

03:00:58.000 That's it.

03:00:59.000 Make or break, you know, sudden death, last round.

03:01:03.000 And I remember I watched his three speeches.

03:01:08.000 Week after week, I watched.

03:01:10.000 And each time in the finals round, he kept getting more and more desperate.

03:01:15.000 Like, the first time it was like a normal try-hard speech.

03:01:18.000 The next time he, like, sang in the speech...

03:01:23.000 He sang.

03:01:24.000 And I remember looking at the judge.

03:01:26.000 I was like, are you kidding?

03:01:27.000 Look at this idiot.

03:01:28.000 You can't sing in this event.

03:01:30.000 Wow.

03:01:31.000 He's having a hard time tonight.

03:01:34.000 And then, you know, the best part about it was at the end of the day, you would go to the auditorium for the award ceremony and they would do one event after the other.

03:01:47.000 I recognize maybe the story isn't that interesting anymore, but I'm going to plow ahead anyway.

03:01:53.000 And so we would go to the awards ceremony, and the way they do it is they talk about the finalists, you know, and then they call out in descending order the top-placed contenders, you know.

03:02:08.000 So they'll say, in seventh place, from whatever, so-and-so, come get your award, stand on the stage.

03:02:14.000 In sixth place, blah, blah, blah.

03:02:16.000 And so literally three weeks in a row, this guy, you know, it'd be like me and him.

03:02:20.000 They'd call third place, and then me and him would be there.

03:02:24.000 It's like, oh boy, who's going to get second?

03:02:26.000 And then, you know, presumptively, who then would be first?

03:02:30.000 And three weeks in a row, he heard his name called.

03:02:32.000 In second, this guy, and in first, me.

03:02:35.000 In second, this guy.

03:02:38.000 And I would be the...

03:02:41.000 Or rather, you didn't come down to the stage.

03:02:43.000 You were all on the stage, and they pulled you off, actually.

03:02:46.000 And three weeks in a row, I was the last guy standing.

03:02:50.000 So, anyway.

03:02:51.000 All this is to say, you may know me.

03:02:56.000 You may have been watching my show for a year, two years.

03:02:59.000 I've been Nick Fuentes since 2012, at least.

03:03:04.000 I've been Nick Fuentes since...

03:03:09.000 Yeah, probably 2012, maybe earlier.

03:03:12.000 And, you know, so it's not about the prep.

03:03:16.000 It's about who you are as a person.

03:03:20.000 If you're not, if you are not a real human being, you can never be a good broadcaster.

03:03:26.000 You know, there's like an innate talent and then there's just chutzpah.

03:03:31.000 There's like an X factor.

03:03:33.000 And if you don't have that, I don't think you can ever be a good broadcaster.

03:03:37.000 And then, you know, if you do have any ability, point is you have to practice it for a decade, you know.

03:03:44.000 I did Model UN, speech, radio, TV in high school.

03:03:48.000 I did all those things in high school for four years.

03:03:52.000 Every week, I did Model UN, which is public speaking.

03:03:56.000 Every other week, I did Speech Team, which is public speaking.

03:03:59.000 Every week, I did a radio show.

03:04:01.000 Two hours, public speaking.

03:04:03.000 My senior year, I did a TV show.

03:04:06.000 And then I've been doing this show for eight years.

03:04:09.000 So, you just have to love talking.

03:04:13.000 You just have to, and you know, really have a desire to be good at it.

03:04:19.000 No amount of preparation will do that for you.

03:04:23.000 No amount of pre-stream prep work.

03:04:26.000 How do you put together your notes?

03:04:28.000 How do you do your show prep?

03:04:31.000 As if I told you it would unlock the secrets, it wouldn't.

03:04:36.000 It wouldn't.

03:04:39.000 So...

03:04:42.000 How do you do your show prep?

03:04:44.000 Like, if I put my notes in front of you, you could do nothing with it.

03:04:47.000 You could do nothing with it.

03:04:50.000 I could give you my notes.

03:04:51.000 I could give you the best notes I've ever written.

03:04:53.000 You could do nothing with it.

03:04:55.000 Because it's not about the notes.

03:04:57.000 You know what I do for notes?

03:04:58.000 I take down two articles.

03:05:00.000 That's all.

03:05:01.000 When I pull up my Google Docs, it is two abridged news articles and That's it.

03:05:12.000 So, you know.

03:05:17.000 That's why I tell people not to do content because if you were meant to do content, you would know it because you would love it and you would be doing it your entire life.

03:05:30.000 And if you're not, then it's not for you.

03:05:34.000 It never was for you.

03:05:35.000 Unless you're someone who is a performer.

03:05:37.000 Unless you are a natural performer.

03:05:40.000 Unless you are someone who just never did it online on the internet.

03:05:45.000 But unless you are a natural born performer, like people think you're funny, people like you.

03:05:51.000 It's just not for you.

03:05:52.000 And it's not for everybody.

03:05:54.000 So it's not about, that's my lesson.

03:05:56.000 It's not about the prep.

03:05:58.000 It's about, you know, whether you're born for it.

03:06:02.000 And if you're born for it, you love it, you're drawn to it, you do it all the time.

03:06:06.000 I mean, I was really doing a show before I was even in front of a camera because I just like the performance and I like the dialogue and I love the subject matter.

03:06:17.000 So...

03:06:19.000 Yeah, so it's really, it's that simple.

03:06:21.000 I remember all my friends from grade school got degrees in sports broadcasting or sports management.

03:06:30.000 And it's like, hey, pal, you know, liking watching football doesn't qualify you to professionally talk about football on television.

03:06:40.000 Hate to break it to you.

03:06:43.000 But that's just a little resentment.

03:06:45.000 But anyway...

03:06:48.000 So that's the lesson.

03:06:49.000 And there's a lesson in that for anybody.

03:06:53.000 The sooner you find out, this may sound like super generic advice, but the sooner that you find out that thing that you love, then the sooner you know what to do with your life.

03:07:06.000 That's what I did.

03:07:07.000 I just decided I was going to do the thing I love and no one was going to tell me otherwise and I literally never looked back.

03:07:13.000 I remember throughout high school, I just loved politics and I loved talking about it.

03:07:19.000 And the only things I gave a shit about were the things that allowed me to do that.

03:07:23.000 So Model UN, reading books, speech team...

03:07:28.000 And consequently, those were the only things I gave a shit about.

03:07:33.000 I didn't do homework.

03:07:35.000 I didn't care about it.

03:07:36.000 I didn't care about marching band or my instrument.

03:07:39.000 I didn't care about anything like that.

03:07:40.000 My parents hated it.

03:07:42.000 Me and my dad were at war every day throughout high school because he'd be on my case.

03:07:47.000 Your fucking grades are terrible.

03:07:50.000 You got to do your homework.

03:07:52.000 And, uh, and I told him, I'm like, look, I'm like, clearly this is what I'm going to do with my life.

03:07:58.000 This is what I'm investing my time in.

03:08:01.000 I want to do politics and And I'm doing politics.

03:08:06.000 I'm like, yeah, yeah, whatever.

03:08:08.000 I'll do enough homework to graduate high school.

03:08:11.000 I said, but I'm going to...

03:08:12.000 And even in college.

03:08:13.000 In college, they were telling me, you got to take science classes.

03:08:17.000 You got to take fucking Spanish. 1.00

03:08:18.000 I said, I want to do politics.

03:08:20.000 I don't want to do gen eds.

03:08:21.000 And I did.

03:08:22.000 And I dropped out and I did politics.

03:08:25.000 Now I do politics.

03:08:27.000 So, now, granted, you also have to have an aptitude.

03:08:31.000 You have to also be really good at it.

03:08:32.000 If you're an idiot, it's not going to get you anywhere.

03:08:35.000 You should probably be a line cook. 0.93

03:08:36.000 You know, if you're some dumb idiot, you should be working some job with repeatable, simple tasks and adult supervision.

03:08:44.000 But if you have any kind of objectively real skill or aptitude and if you have a passion for something, you just have to decide to do that.

03:08:56.000 And I always figured if I just become really, really, really good at something, it will be valuable and people will pay for it.

03:09:03.000 That's why I was never hung up on the money.

03:09:05.000 I was never hung up on the other shit.

03:09:09.000 I just had a value mindset.

03:09:12.000 That's something that you'll learn about in investing or in business.

03:09:16.000 If you have value creation at the fore...

03:09:21.000 It's really hard to mess up.

03:09:23.000 Now, it's still important to get contracts right.

03:09:25.000 I've learned that the hard way.

03:09:27.000 It's still important to get personnel right, and I've learned that the hard way.

03:09:32.000 It's still important to get monetization and your business plan right, and I've learned that the hard way as well.

03:09:38.000 But what comes first is the value creation.

03:09:42.000 If you can create something of value by developing a skill, a product, whatever, then the other stuff is pretty accessible.

03:09:52.000 But that is, I think, what people lack.

03:09:55.000 Everybody wants to be rich.

03:09:57.000 Nobody wants to make value.

03:09:59.000 Everybody wants to get ahead quickly by making these little scams so that they could be lazy.

03:10:06.000 But that's not actually how to be successful.

03:10:10.000 I don't even I don't even work extremely hard.

03:10:13.000 I work pretty hard.

03:10:15.000 I work a lot.

03:10:16.000 I live and breathe this.

03:10:18.000 I don't even think of it as work.

03:10:20.000 But I've been successful almost entirely just because I just invested in a skill, developed it.

03:10:26.000 I just put it out there.

03:10:28.000 And I'm probably not even operating at 100% capacity.

03:10:32.000 So...

03:10:34.000 Moral of the story, be born really intelligent and with a skill and then develop it and you can do whatever you want.

03:10:45.000 That's the moral of the story, but people get caught up in this other stuff.

03:10:50.000 And, you know, they're important questions, but like, I don't know.

03:10:56.000 That's my overall advice to the youngsters.

03:10:59.000 Find out what you're good at, not Fortnite.

03:11:02.000 Some people have unironically said that to me.

03:11:04.000 I'm going to be a professional Fortnite player.

03:11:07.000 And to those people I say, well, are you playing Fortnite 12 hours a day?

03:11:12.000 No.

03:11:13.000 Are you playing competitive?

03:11:14.000 No.

03:11:14.000 Well, then you're not being serious.

03:11:17.000 So...

03:11:21.000 But really, the only people that can afford to be anything other than a wage slave are people that are obsessed.

03:11:28.000 People that have a black hole inside of them that can never be filled.

03:11:35.000 It's a pathological, self-destructive obsession.

03:11:39.000 And people think that's cool or they think it's enviable.

03:11:45.000 And it's really not.

03:11:48.000 People think they want that.

03:11:50.000 They don't.

03:11:52.000 You know, because most people, the vast majority of people are pathetic subhumans that just want to, and like, no, it's not pathetic, it's fine.

03:12:02.000 You know, but a lot of people really do just want a wife, Jack.

03:12:05.000 That's why people were so offended by my criticism, because a lot of people, at the end of the day...

03:12:11.000 They really are mediocre and they just want a wife, Jack. 0.85

03:12:14.000 They really just want to watch their stupid entertainment.

03:12:18.000 They want to have their stupid wife and they really just want to do their little thing. 0.95

03:12:26.000 They don't really want it badly.

03:12:29.000 They don't really have what it takes.

03:12:32.000 If they were in an environment like this, they would be utterly fucking pulverized and destroyed.

03:12:38.000 Because the pressure is too much.

03:12:40.000 The pressure of an extremely competitive environment, the sacrifices, it's just too much.

03:12:47.000 You know, because an ordinary person, they need other things and if they can't have them, they start to come apart.

03:12:55.000 And you have to be willing to sacrifice.

03:12:57.000 It has to be singular focus.

03:13:00.000 And people like that are going to be the innovators.

03:13:03.000 People like that are going to be the state of the art of the field.

03:13:10.000 Everybody else is just being told what to do.

03:13:13.000 That's just life, I guess.

03:13:14.000 But anyway, but that's that.

03:13:18.000 Canada potentially becoming a 51st state.

03:13:19.000 Don't mean to bring it all back to Whitejack.

03:13:20.000 Would inadvertently give U.S. citizenship to all the Indians living there, and they would just move here. 1.00

03:13:23.000 No thanks.

03:13:24.000 Well, I don't think that's actually a real proposition.

03:13:29.000 I think that's a joke.

03:13:32.000 So, well, what it really is is pressure.

03:13:35.000 What it really is is Trump is trying to pressure Trudeau To make a deal on things like fentanyl, things like trade.

03:13:46.000 So that's really, it's classic Trump.

03:13:50.000 This is classic like, it's like when Trump said, my button is bigger and mine actually works.

03:13:55.000 You know, it's the same deal.

03:13:57.000 So I wouldn't take that seriously.

03:13:59.000 Another food recommendation.

03:14:00.000 The Dearborn in downtown.

03:14:01.000 Their fish and chips are the best in the world.

03:14:03.000 The chef even beat the world famous Bobby Flay with that dish.

03:14:05.000 You'll thank me later.

03:14:08.000 Yeah, I don't know.

03:14:09.000 I'm not really into fish and chips.

03:14:10.000 I don't really like whitefish, to be honest.

03:14:14.000 So, maybe I'll do the coffee shop, but I don't know if I'm doing fish and chips.

03:14:20.000 Does St. Maximilian Colby's story conflict with your view of the Holocaust?

03:14:23.000 No. Elisa sent $100.

03:14:26.000 This ain't your grandfather's libertarian Zionism.

03:14:29.000 That's a famous book that's we've mocking con incorporated and perfectly describes James O'Keefe's parties.

03:14:29.000 We're gay.

03:14:35.000 It's a classic movie.

03:14:37.000 Thank you for the big super chat.

03:14:39.000 We love El Oso.

03:14:41.000 One of our goaded content creators, it does.

03:14:46.000 Well, and that's really, it distills the point because, you know, on the one hand they say, oh no, this is the Trump Republican Party.

03:14:57.000 We're not about Reagan.

03:14:58.000 Suddenly they all have the balls to criticize Reagan.

03:15:02.000 At the same time, the policies are basically the same.

03:15:07.000 Despite all the rhetoric, because that's really all it is, rhetoric about trade, rhetoric about immigration, rhetoric about foreign policy.

03:15:17.000 You're getting peace through strength.

03:15:20.000 You're getting tax cuts for the rich and corporations.

03:15:25.000 The tariffs are basically for show.

03:15:28.000 It's not like a real industrial policy.

03:15:31.000 It's not like a coherent, systematic revision of the free trade system.

03:15:39.000 The only thing that's actually meaningfully different is that they're socially liberal.

03:15:45.000 Have you noticed that?

03:15:46.000 Because the Reagan coalition had social conservatives.

03:15:50.000 The Reagan coalition was free market guys, cold warriors, foreign policy hawks, neocons, and social conservatives.

03:16:00.000 Those were the three factions.

03:16:02.000 Free market hawks and social conservatives, you still have the free market people.

03:16:10.000 Mike Johnson, when he talks about what a Republican is, it's individual rights, limited government, blah, blah, blah.

03:16:16.000 That's him.

03:16:18.000 The hawks are obviously there.

03:16:20.000 Rubio, Hegseth, Waltz.

03:16:23.000 The only thing that's missing is any social conservatism.

03:16:27.000 The only thing that's missing is they drop their opposition to gay marriage, basically abortion, feminism.

03:16:35.000 some.

03:16:37.000 It's literally, yeah, it's your...

03:16:37.000 So...

03:16:40.000 It's not your dad's Republican Party because we have Caitlyn Jenner now. 0.94

03:16:44.000 And that's literally it.

03:16:46.000 But thanks for the big super chat.

03:16:48.000 We love Bookcat.

03:16:50.000 We love L.O. So...

03:16:52.000 Is that actually real, though?

03:17:02.000 I mean, I saw that...

03:17:04.000 But, um, I don't think that's, was that, were those real tweets?

03:17:10.000 Someone posted that, but I don't know if that's legit, so I don't want to repeat that.

03:17:14.000 Got it.

03:17:22.000 Well, I don't think they're really the same people.

03:17:24.000 I mean, the people that are attacking us are not the James... 0.51

03:17:27.000 He doesn't really have, like, a crowd.

03:17:29.000 Those are really more, like, bad people.

03:17:31.000 But, I mean, hey, all the same.

03:17:34.000 Very true.

03:17:40.000 Yeah, good point.

03:17:42.000 genuinely who is he trying to appeal to with that black man polish women tweet his audience is all white guys did he think they'd be hyped up by the tweet what do you think manorino's play was I have no idea That's why I said, I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with you? 0.64

03:17:54.000 Just like, why?

03:17:57.000 I just don't know why.

03:17:59.000 So I don't know what the play was.

03:18:01.000 It's just weird.

03:18:03.000 Yeah, yeah.

03:21:38.000 I appreciate it.

03:21:40.000 Yeah, I should have told the cops, hey, yeah, I am a white supremacist, actually.

03:21:44.000 I should have tried to red pill him on race politics.

03:21:48.000 People are like, he's a cock.

03:21:49.000 He said he's Mexican.

03:21:51.000 It's like, no, you're right.
