00:01:57.000It's going to be a little bit of a heavy show.
00:02:00.000If this week wasn't heavy, tough enough for you.
00:02:03.000Wow, we've got some dark stories, some dark things happening with abortion.
00:02:09.000And you know, of course, That I'm pro life.
00:02:12.000I imagine most people that watch this show are pro life in just about the most extreme sense, but we've been dealing with this obviously for about 40 years now since Roe v. Wade, but I don't think I've ever seen some of the things that we're seeing today.
00:02:56.000You know, I think 10 years ago would have been some kind of Republican conservative parody to say that these people only stand for abortion, socialism, being against white people, being for open borders.
00:03:09.000But now, I mean, that's literally what the platform is.
00:03:14.000Into the 2020 election with a handful of declared candidates, and you take a look at each of their platforms, with one exception, Tulsi Gabbard.
00:03:22.000It's basically this far left party now.
00:03:25.000So we'll be talking about that in great detail.
00:03:27.000We'll be looking at what's happening in Virginia, what's happening in New York.
00:03:31.000We'll be looking at some of these proposals by people like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
00:03:40.000And it should be a pretty good show, should be a pretty exciting one.
00:03:45.000We may have to go off a little bit, as we always do.
00:03:48.000And we'll also be talking about a bill which was recently passed, as recently as a few hours ago, through the Senate, which condemns President Trump's withdrawal from Syria and Afghanistan.
00:04:24.000For some reason, I'm not sure why, but I got an email today that our Pepe style Peacekeeper sweatshirt has been pulled from gearbubble.com.
00:04:36.000I'm not sure what the reason for that is, but I got an email this morning saying, maybe it was last night, sometime since the show yesterday, I got an email from Gearbubble saying that the sweatshirt was pulled off the website for content issues.
00:04:49.000So I don't know if that's because it's Pepe.
00:04:51.000I don't know if that's because there's a gun.
00:04:55.000What the issue could possibly be, because everybody I know who's used Gear Bubble before says that you never have any issues like this, like with censorship or things like that.
00:05:07.000We were probably planning on pulling the sweatshirt around this time anyway, around the beginning of February, end of January, but I saw that it looks like the last people who ordered the sweatshirt were refunded.
00:05:21.000I'm not sure, but it said the information isn't totally.
00:05:26.000So I'm not really sure what's going on with that.
00:05:28.000I sent them an email this afternoon, hoping to hear back soon enough, but that's just an update.
00:05:33.000If you're wondering, if you went on the website, if you checked the link and you're wondering why that's not happening, that's what's going on.
00:05:48.000Maybe that's why they, you know, might want to pull it off.
00:05:51.000But it remains up to this day, so you can check that out also.
00:05:54.000But I believe that's everything in the way of housekeeping.
00:05:57.000It's been pretty smooth sailing so far.
00:06:01.000I know in the beginning of January, there was sort of a lot going on, a lot of different things happening, but we're pretty much all together now.
00:06:08.000I will say it's been a rough week, but we are coming out on the other side of it.
00:06:47.000Celebrate, get a little Taco Bell or Big Mac.
00:06:49.000It's been a while since I've been out there.
00:06:52.000But there was actually a pretty sad story.
00:06:53.000I guess yesterday there was this 18 year old kid in Iowa who died.
00:06:58.000They don't know why he was outside, what ended up happening to him, but some 18 year old kid was one of, I believe, five or eight casualties people that died due to weather related causes.
00:07:09.000And pretty sad to see such a young person, younger than me.
00:07:32.000But anyway, we're going to get right into the show.
00:07:34.000The first thing we're talking about tonight is the Senate bill.
00:07:39.000And I think it speaks a lot to what I talk about on the show.
00:07:42.000In a broader sense, what I want to talk about first is the fact that this is just the latest example of obstruction.
00:07:49.000For all the people that say, oh, Donald Trump doesn't want to.
00:07:52.000Keep any of his important promises on trade, on foreign policy, on immigration.
00:07:58.000There always seems to be this collective forgetting, this collective amnesia about maybe why that might be.
00:08:04.000Maybe the fact that every time he does something, tries to do something, attempts something, you have a judge that shuts it down.
00:08:10.000Some federal judge in Hawaii or California who effectively vetoes it for at least nine months, at least something like a year, until the Supreme Court can overturn it or put an injunction on their injunction or whatever.
00:08:25.000Which formerly led by Paul Ryan, and now you have the Senate with Mitch McConnell, was never willing to pass or prioritize anything in Trump's agenda, and so on and so on.
00:08:34.000And here's just the latest example of this, where people, I think, are rightly upset.
00:08:37.000I'm upset that the Syria withdrawal should have been completed by now.
00:08:41.000Remember, again, it was late December.
00:08:43.000The president said, We're getting everybody out of Syria, all 2,000, around 2,200, I guess.
00:08:49.000That's what they're willing to reveal.
00:08:51.000Troops in Syria would be gone in 30 days.
00:08:54.000Well, it has been 30 days, it's been more than 30 days, and they're still in there.
00:09:01.000After Lindsey Graham went to the White House, the timetable got moved to four months, and now they're just there forever.
00:09:06.000They're talking about a permanent base there.
00:09:08.000And now, in the latest move by the deep state, the Senate votes 68 to 23 a few hours ago to rebuke President Trump's proposed withdrawal, not only from Syria, but also, excuse me, from Afghanistan.
00:09:22.000And this comes in the wake not only of the announcement on Syria, but also the announcement about half of the troops being pulled out of Afghanistan.
00:09:30.000And also, promising talks that are being held between the Taliban, Afghan security forces, and the United States.
00:09:42.000We're about to conclude two of these foreign interventions, which have been fruitless and where there is no American interest, and the Senate votes overwhelmingly.
00:09:51.000The first time the Senate gets a supermajority, I guess, with the exception of some of these bills pertaining to Israel.
00:09:57.000I guess this one pertains to Israel also in some ways.
00:10:00.000The first time they get a supermajority not to secure the border, not to fix health care, not to get anybody confirmed in the cabinet.
00:10:09.000No, it is to keep us in Syria and Afghanistan.
00:10:12.000So, this is the first time also that Senate Republicans have broken from the president.
00:10:18.000Not really a good sign because the government shutdown was obviously very contentious.
00:10:23.000It bred a lot of resentment, I think, between Mitch McConnell and the president.
00:10:27.000We talked about this last week when we did a little autopsy on the government shutdown strategy, why it didn't work, why it ended early.
00:10:35.000And we saw that Mitch McConnell took a real beating from his colleagues in the Senate.
00:10:42.000From some of the aides present during some of those backdoor meetings at the conclusion of the shutdown, that Mitch McConnell said that we should have never done the shutdown in the first place.
00:11:02.000Number one, Marco Rubio goes out and says, Oh, well, look, I voted for this bill because it undermines one of our two biggest pillars in our foreign policy and strategy.
00:11:13.000You gotta wonder, what is the strategy?
00:11:15.000What is the strategy that we're just gonna be there forever?
00:11:18.000We're just gonna be in Syria and Afghanistan until the end of time?
00:11:22.000Until they can guarantee that ISIS and Al Qaeda will not reform.
00:12:42.000A lot of people don't think about it this way, but it's actually very simple why you see this happening, why Trump is on our side, but the Congress never is.
00:12:51.000To elect a sender, To elect a congressman costs a lot less than the benefit, monetary or otherwise, that is accrued from decisions made by senators and congresspeople.
00:13:03.000You know, if you're following that, basically it means this How much does it cost to put a senator from Rhode Island, for example, into the government in Washington, D.C.?
00:13:15.000How much does it cost to get a representative, a congressperson from Ohio, into office?
00:13:42.000And they wrote all kinds of memos in 1996 and in 1980 and 1956 talking about how they wanted some of these countries to go away.
00:13:51.000Now, it costs a lot of money to make those countries go away.
00:13:54.000If they were to do it themselves, if this lobby, if this international cabal, if this nation state, if they wanted to make a military power like Iraq go away, that's a multi trillion dollar undertaking that's going to take.
00:14:08.000Decades, so many years, not only that, but if you were to undertake that individually, you'd have all kinds of opposition from other countries, from allies, it would be a total disaster.
00:14:19.000So instead of spending multiple trillion dollars, tens of trillions of dollars, decades in the desert, having your allies go against you, having your enemies consolidate against you, what you can do instead, maybe, is fund a few elections in the United States.
00:14:36.000How much does it cost to run a presidential campaign?
00:14:44.000If a presidential campaign, national campaign for the highest office in the land is $1 billion, let's say that if that's the high watermark for what an election costs in America, and that's the highest one that there is, let's just say, for the sake of example, to give you an idea of scale, let's say you elected every single congressperson, let's say that country, that interest was going to put every elected representative, In the entire Congress, they were going to pay for their whole campaign,
00:15:14.000and it was the maximum that any campaign in America would cost.
00:15:17.000In other words, let's say they elected all, what is it, 538 representatives, 430, is it 438 or 436 congresspeople, 100 senators for a total of 538 about, you paid a billion dollars funding their full campaign, and that's probably in excess because nobody spends a billion dollars on a congressional campaign or a Senate campaign.
00:15:39.000But just to give you an idea of scale, even if you did that, it would be half a trillion dollars.
00:15:44.000As compared to $6 trillion that we spent on the Iraq War.
00:15:48.000There's something very wrong with that.
00:15:50.000There's something very wrong with the arithmetic there.
00:15:53.000That obviously, if you're put into Washington, D.C., and you have the power of the purse in the House of Representatives, you control on an annual basis $2 to $3 trillion of tax revenue.
00:16:04.000I think that's actually, I think those numbers are even older, something closer to $4 trillion in tax revenue these days.
00:16:10.000So the people that are, again, going to control $4 trillion of the public pot of tax revenue, and they control the law of the land and everything else.
00:16:18.000They can sometimes get elected for millions or tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, depending on the race, depending on the office.
00:16:26.000And obviously, people who have an interest in America doing certain things militarily or otherwise have an interest in that.
00:16:34.000And it's much more lucrative, much more cost effective to simply buy the Congress.
00:16:41.000That's why the Senate votes the way that it does.
00:16:43.000That's why the House of Representatives votes the way that it does.
00:16:47.000That's why the only other times we see a supermajority in the Senate lately is to authorize foreign aid for Israel.
00:16:54.000That's the reason that the supermajorities only come around when they're banning BDS from government contract workers, boycott, divest, and sanction of Israel.
00:17:03.000It's because Israel is very well organized and they know how the system works and they've got people in the system and they've got big money, not just from their own country, but from certain international benefactors, transnational benefactors in the major powerful cities in Europe and America in a way that the American people simply don't.
00:17:25.000No comparable infrastructure, no comparable funding from the American people.
00:17:31.000Imagine if everybody who was affected by illegal immigration or just legal immigration adversely got together, they formed a super PAC, they were able to raise millions or billions of dollars from businesses, from private contributions, from all over the place, and they represented a super PAC buying campaigns.
00:17:49.000I think you would see illegal immigration end very quickly.
00:17:52.000I think you'd see legal immigration end very quickly, but we don't organize in the same way.
00:17:56.000Big mistake, and that's why this system has got to go.
00:17:59.000It's totally controlled by money, it's totally broken.
00:18:01.000It makes no sense that that should be allowed to happen.
00:18:04.000When you have some degree of authoritarianism, when you can't be bought by money, and you're in some way, shape, or form, if it's a hereditary monarchy or something, or if it's a dictatorship, whatever it is, and your task, your interest is to execute the will of the people, as it is in Russia, for example, or in Turkey, or in China, where you've got authoritarian leaders, you've got Putin, you've got Erdogan, you've got Xi Jinping.
00:18:28.000In those examples, you've got a leader who is safe and secure in their power.
00:18:33.000They're more powerful than the foreign or moneyed interests.
00:18:37.000And in order to enhance their power and their clout, they've got to make their country great.
00:19:06.000I guess this is a theme we'll be exploring throughout 2020.
00:19:10.000As we see this battle happening between left wing people, progressives, the centrist, more establishment type candidates in 2020, we see sort of the same civil war that we saw in the Republican Party happen on the left.
00:19:24.000I think the major theme is noticing how drastically the party has changed, how radical they've become, how what they're proposing is radical by any objective standard.
00:19:34.000I mean, relatively speaking, of course, relative to Barack Obama, I guess it's marginally left, but relative to 10 years ago, relative to eight years ago, it's.
00:19:45.000So, we're going to start out talking about this new bill in Virginia.
00:19:49.000So, this new bill, I guess it was tabled in committee earlier this week, but it would remove, and this is according to CNN, it would quote, remove a number of restrictions currently in place regarding late term abortions, including doing away with the requirement that three physicians certify a third trimester abortion is necessary to prevent the woman's death or impairment of her mental or physical health.
00:20:11.000The third trimester lasts until 40 weeks.
00:20:14.000So, under the bill, and this went viral the other day, you had a.
00:20:18.000A delegate in the Virginia legislature who was defending the legislation.
00:20:22.000She was questioned by the committee and she was forced to admit basically that what the bill allows is for a baby.
00:20:30.000If a woman is, you know, if she's basically about to give birth, it allows for the baby to be aborted even imminently before it's being born.
00:20:39.000I mean, this is obviously infanticide.
00:20:41.000And you can notice how the abortion argument has slowly creeped over the last 40 to 50 years in the rhetoric, in the legislation, from an argument about rape.
00:20:52.000And incest and questioning the physical health of the mother.
00:20:56.000Whenever you talk about abortion, that's what comes up.
00:20:58.000If you're pro life, it's, well, how pro life are you?
00:21:02.000Would you say that a woman should be forced to carry a child, even if she's raped, even if it threatens her physical health?
00:21:10.000Less than 1% of the abortions are done for all of those reasons combined incest, rape, health of the mother, physical, meaning it would be fatal if she had the child.
00:21:21.000It started out with, you know, very early on if it's a mistake or whatever, and then gradually now we see how the rhetoric and the law has changed so that it's basically you're killing a baby.
00:21:55.000I think if you were to be a sensible person, you could understand where a person might come from, an ignorant and morally flawed person might come from, if they were to say that at conception, maybe that's not a baby yet.
00:22:08.000Maybe you could take the morning after pill, and if a fertilized egg is done away with, that doesn't constitute a murder.
00:22:15.000You could understand that because a fertilized egg is at the earliest stage.
00:22:20.000It doesn't resemble a child, it's not sentient, it doesn't feel, it doesn't have physical features.
00:22:25.000You could kind of get in that headspace where you say, I get where you're coming from on that.
00:22:29.000Again, I don't think that's the case, but you can understand that.
00:22:32.000It comes, I guess, in terms of degrees.
00:22:34.000Morally, it doesn't, but you can understand where they're coming from.
00:22:37.000But to say that you would perform an abortion a week before a baby is born, to me, is just so far out there.
00:22:44.000I can't imagine that people actually accept this, but that's in the bill.
00:22:48.000And notice the wording of the bill also.
00:22:50.000It allows for, again, and it totally liberalizes the process.
00:22:54.000So I guess before the requirement was that you had to have three physicians.
00:22:59.000Greenlight this as some sort of a check and a balance.
00:23:02.000It's already heinous, but they say you got to have three physicians check this and make sure and everything.
00:23:09.000And also, notice the language says, you know, they get rid of the requirement that three physicians certify a third trimester abortion is necessary to prevent the woman's death or impairment of her mental health.
00:23:22.000So that's a little bit different than saying if she's going to die or there's going to be profound physical complications that, you know, I don't really know how it all works down there.
00:23:33.000What kind of physical complication would result?
00:23:35.000But now they're saying even if you have a mental impairment, so I guess if you have mental distress because a child is going to be born, they can go in there and kill it.
00:23:44.000And they do it in the most gruesome way, too.
00:23:46.000I imagine if people were shown what an abortion procedure looks like, maybe they wouldn't be too gung ho about it.
00:23:52.000You know, they're marching in the streets.
00:23:57.000This is the next stage of feminism, they say.
00:23:59.000Do you know how the third trimester abortion, the late term abortion, is conducted?
00:24:04.000Normally, what they do, which is equally barbaric, Is they go into the womb with a, I guess, with tweezers or a scalpel or something.
00:24:13.000They start tearing the baby limb from limb, tear off its legs, literally grab a hold of it, break off a leg, break off the other leg, the arms, crush the torso, pull that out.
00:24:38.000They just like to say it's pro choice, it's feminism.
00:24:40.000I guess, I don't know which one is worse, but with the late term abortion, one of the ways they do, one of the ways they perform the abortion is they do a lethal injection.
00:24:49.000They inject either the baby's heart or the baby's brain with lethal drugs.
00:24:54.000They go into the womb, blast the baby in the head with lethal chemicals.
00:25:32.000And even better than that, I guess what's not, you know what I mean by better in an ironic sense, even better than that, they passed a similar bill in New York earlier this week, and their governor, Andrew Cuomo, directed the One World Trade Center and other landmarks to be lit in pink.
00:25:50.000On Tuesday, to celebrate the passage of their quote, Reproductive Health Act.
00:25:54.000That's what they call it now, reproductive health.
00:25:56.000You go in there, defenseless, the most vulnerable kind of human life there is.
00:26:01.000You go in there, rip it limb from limb, crush its torso, its organs, its heart, crush its skull, pull it out.
00:26:09.000They light up the World Trade Center in pink to celebrate, to celebrate the great victory that this is now in the state constitution, that this is now in the law, destigmatized, totally shameless.
00:26:23.000Is that what kind of society do we live in?
00:26:26.000And you look across the board at even people on the right wing who seem to not really care about this stuff so much.
00:26:32.000They don't really, you know, they talk about this kind of rhetoric and so on.
00:26:36.000But the vast majority of people in the GOP and the right wing are atheists or they're Jewish and they don't really care about this kind of stuff.
00:26:44.000But I think we really have to take time to reflect.
00:26:46.000Sure, we've got all kinds of wealth and the progressives never like to, they never fail to remind us how good we have it.
00:27:02.000Maybe 150 years ago, 200 years ago, we were a lot poorer and we didn't have technology and maybe we couldn't get around very easily.
00:27:10.000And Western medicine wasn't as developed as today.
00:27:13.000But I don't think we were killing babies as barbarically as we are today.
00:27:17.000I don't think we were lighting up buildings in celebration of the fact that we were exterminating babies, that we were committing infanticide.
00:27:25.000And then, even better, I guess, than that, you've got the governor.
00:27:31.000He had some pretty questionable comments about the bill, which were a little bit ambiguous.
00:27:36.000He came out to clarify them in defense of the comments, but he said, and he's a former pediatric neurologist, he was asked about the bill, particularly about this delegate, Tran, who said that they're done and they killed the baby.
00:27:52.000So this is Governor Northrum responding to the bill.
00:27:55.000He said, The consent of obviously the mother with consent of the physician, multiple physicians, by the way, And it's done in cases where there may be severe deformities or there may be a fetus that's not viable.
00:28:06.000So, in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen if the mother is in labor.
00:28:15.000He goes on to say the infant would be kept comfortable.
00:28:18.000The infant would be resuscitated if that's what the mother and the family desired.
00:28:22.000And then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother, almost implying that they would leave the newborn to die, that that would constitute.
00:28:33.000If the baby is delivered, is outside the womb, is resuscitated, I guess because they have deformities or they have a fetus that isn't viable, it's resuscitated.
00:28:45.000They put it out on a tray, and the physician and the mother have a conversation, the implication being I don't know what other implication there could be that they would make a decision as to whether or not they're going to allow the child to live.
00:28:57.000So at this point, I think we've clearly crossed the threshold from a so called abortion.
00:29:02.000A so called preventative measure, if that's what it is, and directly into a conversation about whether or not we're going to kill a newborn child.
00:30:03.000You see it on a lot of these left wing outlets like Slate and Salon, where they've got 10 year old, 8 year old little boys dressed up in drag makeup, paraded around in gay clubs for tips.
00:30:16.000And you've got, in some cases, criminals, murderers, rapists surrounding them.
00:30:20.000Some cases they're naked, which might betray the fact that something sinister is going on, something directly sinister, not just dressing somebody up as a girl, as a child, but maybe there's sexual abuse or whatever.
00:30:33.000You've got a very troubling thing, which I saw yesterday a little thread by my friend on Twitter by the name of Wyatt, which I retweeted, where you've got these gender reassignment surgeries, young children, prepubescent children giving hormone blocking drugs so that they can swap their gender.
00:30:51.000And then, if that's not enough, they go into surgery where.
00:31:14.000What's going on in Hollywood, what's going on in DC?
00:31:17.000This is a society which has no problem sacrificing children to the devil.
00:31:21.000I don't think if you were to imagine a society, a hypothetical, fictional society, That was controlled by the devil, that was controlled by Moloch or Satan or demonic forces, and you were to imagine what that society might look like.
00:31:36.000I don't think you would find too many differences between that society and our society, could you?
00:31:41.000You know, you imagine that any society built by the devil would be one that would be completely hostile to children, that would be sacrificing them in the most barbaric and horrific and ghastly ways.
00:31:51.000Is that so much different than our society?
00:33:41.000The country is controlled by evil people, evil, unacceptable things happening every day, and nobody seems to be serious about doing anything about it.
00:33:49.000They actively work and abet the people who are in charge and doing it for money or for clout or for whatever, but we have to put our foot down.
00:35:20.000I know nobody watching this show has that kind of money.
00:35:22.000We've got to get somebody who watches the show has that kind of money.
00:35:25.000But I guess if you're inheriting money that's over a billion dollars, the government goes in and takes 770 million if it's a billion, right?
00:35:51.000Warren, who has proposed a 2% wealth tax on people with a net worth greater than $50 million, and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, who has floated a 70% marginal income tax over 10%.
00:36:03.000And of course, I think it's kind of a nerdy sort of policy wonk that I am.
00:36:09.000I think it's interesting to talk about how these three things are different because a lot of people, I guess, don't really know the differences in these sort of monetary terms, economic terms.
00:36:19.000Fiscal versus monetary wealth, inheritance, whatever.
00:36:23.000But I guess they're all basically the same in terms of how much money they would allocate.
00:36:28.000It just varies in the way of where you're taxing the money.
00:36:31.000For example, the 98.8% Act by Bernie Sanders taxes the money at the end.
00:36:36.000So you accumulate all this money, you have all kinds of wealth, it's appraised, it's evaluated, and it's taxed before it's passed on to the next person in that generation or in that family at a very substantial amount.
00:36:52.000Elizabeth Warren is doing a 2% wealth tax.
00:36:55.000So it's about your net worth, your assets, how much you've accumulated on an annual basis.
00:37:00.000So as opposed to Bernie Sanders taxing, again, that big lump sum, taking it off the top at the end of your life, Elizabeth Warren is going to take a little bit.
00:37:08.000She's going to take a little bit off the top every year of your life in little amounts until you die.
00:37:13.000And then Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is taxing income.
00:37:17.000So, as opposed to your assets, you know, constantly taking off the assets, which I think is better.
00:37:23.000But Alexandria Ocasio Cortez says it should be income.
00:37:26.000So, if you have an income, you make that on an annual basis, I guess, as a salary or as in other forms.
00:37:32.000It's dependent largely on the tax code.
00:37:34.000Then they're taking 70% of everything over $10 million.
00:37:39.000And, you know, we don't really go too hard on socialism on this show.
00:37:54.000I hate the rich, not people who have earned money.
00:37:57.000You know, I don't hate somebody who starts a business, they build themselves up for nothing, and they, you know, have accumulated a nice sum of money.
00:38:05.000I guess I don't hate those kinds of rich people.
00:38:06.000But we see the kinds of millionaires, billionaires, people who made their money by, like, You know, you look at George Soros, for example, and he made how much money just betting on the British pound changing in price?
00:39:02.000But it's not hard to understand what incentive is created by doing that.
00:39:05.000If you say you're going to take away all the money of the wealthy, well, they're going to just blow it up in conspicuous consumption before they go.
00:39:13.000Conspicuous consumption, meaning Largely luxury goods.
00:39:16.000If you're Jeff Bezos, you're Bill Gates, you're getting up there in age, you're just going to start throwing that money all over the place.
00:39:22.000And I don't think that's really the best thing that you can do.
00:39:25.000It wouldn't achieve the desired result of having a big sum of money to go into the government coffers.
00:39:32.000You look at the income tax and the wealth tax, this is another example where the incentive is to put the money overseas.
00:39:39.000If your wealth is taxed, if your income is taxed, you just go somewhere else, or they have a lower income tax.
00:39:46.000And then, surprise, surprise, you don't get.
00:39:48.000The investment, you don't get the industry, and you also don't get the government revenue.
00:39:52.000I got into a big fight about this with Coach Redpill on the Ralph retort, which I ended up being vindicated on all counts, but it got to be a pretty nasty fight.
00:40:01.000But we were talking about the Trump tax plan, and I said, Well, you know, look, you look at the tax plan, it's basically good.
00:40:07.000You lower tax rates, and because of the Laffer curve, you tend to make more tax revenue.
00:40:12.000It does bring back jobs, it does bring back investment.
00:40:14.000And this guy was telling me, Oh, no, you cut the corporate tax rate, and you'll get less tax revenue, and it'll increase the debt.
00:40:20.000And the Laffer curve is just ridiculous.
00:40:22.000You couldn't tell me what the Laffer curve even was, but it proved out to be true.
00:40:26.000So, in an economic sense, this stuff is pretty ridiculous.
00:40:29.000It's probably not good for the country.
00:40:31.000But even on top of that, there are better ways to, I wouldn't say redistribute, but to change the economic outlook of the middle class, of lower class people, than to eat the rich.
00:40:42.000Eating the rich is something I think that is not only ineffective, but also immoral.
00:40:45.000You know, the way that you restructure the economy is by getting rid of entitlements.
00:40:50.000If you want to know the truth, we don't have to bring in more money.
00:40:54.000To keep feeding this beast and just find out every way that we can nickel and dime all these rich people and bankers and producers and everything else.
00:41:02.000The real way to do it is to stop increasing this vacuum, this black hole of people that are just wasting money.
00:41:08.000I think it's more now than 50% of government spending is mandatory spending, and it's spent on Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, welfare.
00:41:18.000And you know how much of that is abuse.
00:41:20.000You know how much of that is unearned.
00:41:22.000How much of that is not going towards working class, middle class people.
00:41:28.000Believe me, we see the kind of waste that happens, particularly in healthcare, but also in other areas.
00:41:33.000So, for all these people that are always saying, we've got to tax more, we've got to cut the military, this is just, this belies the real problem, which is the entitlements, which are just, again, the black hole where all the money is pouring into.
00:41:46.000So, I think if you take care of that, and then conversely, I think once you get rid of that, you can start to afford more things.
00:41:52.000Then you start taking measures like doing trade protection, reforming monetary policy, as we had on the author of Free Trade Doesn't Work, Ian Fletcher, talked about different aspects of monetary policy that could be changed.
00:42:04.000To have a more national, nationalist, economic nationalist system.
00:42:09.000We could have tax incentives for marriage, for having children, for all kinds of things.
00:42:14.000But the kind of proposals that they're making by Sanders, Warren, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, alongside infanticide, are things that are just going to ruin the country.
00:42:23.000Even when I was a libertarian, I understood this a little bit better, I think, than the average person, although it's not my number one priority anymore, is you understand the relationship between debt and immigration.
00:42:34.000However, you look at debt, this is also an existential threat to the country.
00:42:39.000Again, people seem to be very fixated on demographics and immigration for the right reasons.
00:42:44.000I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but they tend to do that sometimes at the expense of caring about other issues, which are also a priority.
00:42:52.000I think that, of course, the government should shut down the border, stop all immigration before doing anything else.
00:42:58.000However, that doesn't negate the reality that by 2070 or 2050, you're going to have interest on the debt, interest on our debt alone consuming half or almost all of our tax revenue.
00:43:10.000So, just the interest that we're paying on the debt that is sitting there accumulating is going to become so vast that we'll have half of tax revenue just going to the people that hold our treasury notes, which would be foreign holders of debt, domestic holders of debt, in many cases, China, although they hold a relatively small proportion compared to the American public.
00:43:29.000And that's something that becomes a national security threat.
00:43:32.000What happens when half the revenue is interest, and then you have what should be 70% or 100% of the revenue on entitlements, and then you still have a military?
00:43:41.000That you have to maintain, and that's discretionary.
00:43:47.000The value of the dollar will bottom out.
00:43:49.000We're heading towards a point where this system becomes unsustainable and eventually collapses.
00:43:54.000So, again, I'm not saying that's, you know, should take priority over immigration.
00:43:59.000Immigration contributes to that, but that's something that's a big issue.
00:44:02.000And the Democratic Party, the new platform, killing babies, running up the debt, you know, stealing money from people who produce, not good, not good.
00:44:11.000And remember, these are the people that are going to be in power basically forever.
00:44:15.000Once we get To the point where they're winning in Texas, where they're winning in Georgia, where they're winning in Florida, Arizona, reliably, New Mexico, whatever.
00:44:27.000They're killing the babies, abusing the children.
00:44:29.000That's a country we're going to live in.
00:44:31.000So, on that note, on that sobering note about whether or not you're really going to vote Democrat in 2020, you get a lot of people who say, Oh, Trump isn't doing sufficient progress on the wall.
00:47:44.000Hey, I got to protect my bottom line, everybody, all right?
00:47:48.000I know you like this idea of, you know, the national interest and all that, but Nick's got to protect his bottom line.
00:47:54.000I intend to get up there at one point.
00:47:56.000I don't want to get up there and have all my money stolen from me.
00:48:00.000No, but it's, look, it's just based on economic principle.
00:48:03.000I'm not a free market zealot, but, you know, look, these things just don't work.
00:48:07.000So just because you're against international capitalism and all that, Doesn't mean you have to be a retard and embrace socialism all the way through.
00:53:56.000Cloudstar says it's things like making infanticide acceptable, it's going to contribute to the mass suicides we'll be seeing from older women.
00:55:57.000It's very cold, I'll tell you that much.
00:55:59.000I just haven't been leaving the house.
00:56:01.000When you don't leave the house, you're not really that cold.
00:56:03.000So I really haven't been having too much trouble.
00:56:06.000And yeah, you've got to get smart on the government policy.
00:56:10.000You've just got to read the news, not difficult.
00:56:12.000Flannel Nationalism says, we see all the time the worn out arguments about the double standards of journalism, racism that others keep using as a sick epic roast of the lib lobs.
00:56:30.000Well, what I always do, don't get me wrong, double standards are great, and you should always push them because double standard is something that, I mean, it's an argument that to me is almost undeniable when you present to people.
00:56:43.000When you show that, Things and principles, morally in particular, are not being applied equally to different situations and people.
00:56:51.000It's almost a no brainer that people have an aversion to that.
00:56:54.000So, double standard is a very powerful rhetorical tool.
00:56:57.000Now, that said, the way that I look at a double standard is not to say, oh, look, they're so hypocritical.
00:57:02.000I say instead, no, they're not hypocritical.
00:57:04.000You just don't know what they really mean.
00:58:02.000Context to them as there are with all words.
00:58:05.000And so when people say, oh, it's just a double standard, they're attacking white people, don't they know that's racist?
00:58:10.000Well, no, because their definition of racism, their crusade is not against universal standards of conduct about racial and ethnic diversity.
00:58:19.000It's about harming the white man, it's about subverting and destroying traditional America built by white men.
00:58:24.000Of course, naturally, the same is true with sexism, the same is true with all those things.
00:58:30.000Now, double standards are an important rhetorical tool.
00:58:32.000To get to that point, and then you got to drive it home by going a little bit further and saying, Well, nobody is really a hypocrite in the sense that, well, I shouldn't say that.
00:58:41.000However, what I mean by that is to say that most people have a political ideology which is basically consistent, even if they don't have the language to articulate it, even if they are sort of morally confused, you know, deep down, the consistency is there.
00:58:58.000You just have to find it if you understand what I mean by that.
00:59:01.000So, you know, people might say, Oh, I'm against racial discrimination in theory.
00:59:06.000But what they really mean is they're against it, against non white people.
01:00:49.000The Democratic Party, which is sort of influenced heavily by a certain group of people, it seems like all they do is lie and sacrifice children.
01:00:57.000Does that remind you of a certain biblical character?
01:01:00.000That what they're most fond of is deception and murdering children, killing innocent children?
