00:01:06.000And I left the city at about 9 o'clock.
00:01:10.000And I mean, you know, I would tell you if, oh, I fell asleep or something else happened.
00:01:15.000But I leave at 9 o'clock thinking I get home at 9 30, start the show.
00:01:20.000Well, I leave at 9 o'clock and I get into traffic.
00:01:24.000And I'm thinking, you know, why is there traffic?
00:01:26.000It's 9 o'clock at night, it's the middle of the night practically.
00:01:31.000And it turns out they had shut down the entire highway, all four lanes of the highway for miles because there was.
00:01:40.000Wouldn't you know, a gang shooting from the ghetto in the west side on the highway?
00:01:47.000So the cops shut down the entire highway to investigate the shooting.
00:01:53.000And so the highway was backed up for miles from the west side all the way to the city and just didn't move.
00:02:03.000And apparently, the only way that people were getting off the highway, and this is what finally happened to me, is people had to get off on the one lane exit ramp.
00:02:13.000Where they had blocked off the highway.
00:02:16.000And the police had blocked off the entrance ramp, like two or three entrance ramps from where the shooting had occurred.
00:02:23.000So you had all of the traffic westbound out of Chicago being diverted onto a single exit ramp and then through a couple miles of frontage roads in the ghetto where the shooting happened before people were able to get back onto the highway.
00:02:40.000So, needless to say, all this four lanes of Traffic for hours are only getting through on this one exit ramp.
00:02:48.000I was literally in traffic for three hours last night.
00:05:32.000And our featured story tonight is about Arizona.
00:05:35.000In particular, an Arizona State Senate race between a very sweet grandmother who we all love, a patriot, America First Trump supporter, Wendy Rogers, and she is going up against in a Republican primary a woman named Kelly Townsend.
00:05:56.000And apparently, I didn't know this until this week, I have now taken center stage in the race because apparently Kelly Townsend claims to be.
00:06:07.000A Trump supporter, a conservative, a Republican.
00:06:10.000And obviously, Wendy Rogers is one of the most America first people in government, period.
00:06:18.000And so it's like, why is there a primary challenge?
00:07:21.000And it's about the fact that Wendy Rogers, by appearing at AFPAC 3 and speaking, conferred legitimacy upon this message and the message of this show.
00:07:35.000And just like the Republican establishment sent primary challengers into North Carolina to defeat Madison Cawthorne.
00:07:43.000In the same way that they sent a primary challenger to try to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kelly Townsend, like other rhinos, has been deployed in this district to target and attack Wendy Rogers because she spoke at AFPAC 3.
00:08:39.000We'll also be talking tonight about Vladimir Putin, and we have some new information about him from the U.S. intelligence agencies.
00:08:48.000And this is just another One of these things.
00:08:51.000Have you heard in the past few months that Vladimir Putin is sick?
00:08:56.000Because I remember for months this year, and it was all over the news, and it was in mainstream media, and it was on social media that Vladimir Putin has cancer.
00:11:26.000I woke up and I'm like, I do not want to get out of bed.
00:11:31.000But I woke up, took care of business, TCOB, you know.
00:11:35.000I woke up, got my stuff done, and then I just jumped back into bed, fell asleep, ordered a pizza, had some pizza because it's Friday, had some Pepsi, now I'm doing my show, had a cup of coffee.
00:11:50.000I ordered DoorDash before I went to bed.
00:11:52.000I got all this coffee, but I didn't want to drink it because I was going to sleep, so I stuffed it in the fridge, and then it was right there.
00:12:00.000Now I have all this coffee in the fridge, heated up whenever I want.
00:12:42.000That's enough for a year, let alone six or eight weeks.
00:12:48.000And I've been so busy with the premiere, and we're planning some other events, and we're planning some fundraisers, and we're working on the studio.
00:12:54.000And, you know, so I still had a lot of stuff to do today, but I got to relax a little bit, and I'm going to take a day off tomorrow, and then I'll have some things to do on Sunday.
00:13:24.000And our first story is about this Vladimir Putin and his health.
00:13:30.000And in case you haven't been following it, it's not being covered in the news anymore.
00:13:35.000I'm talking about the entire Ukraine war because it is going very, very badly for NATO.
00:13:42.000I'm sure if you've been following mainstream media, I have to for this show.
00:13:46.000I cover the news, so I have to watch the news.
00:13:50.000And they just don't talk about it anymore.
00:13:53.000When the war started back in February, March, of course, it dominated the coverage every hour of every day.
00:14:00.000I think BBC literally had an up to the minute news tracker for the war.
00:14:07.000And lately, they just don't talk about it.
00:14:09.000There was a time a couple months ago when they said, That the tide of the war was turning, and that the Russians were facing unprecedented resistance that they did not prepare for, and the casualties were in the tens of thousands, and they're losing generals, and they're losing.
00:14:27.000Do you remember the kind of coverage we were getting from Ukraine?
00:14:30.000People seriously thought that this piss country, Ukraine, was going to defeat the second largest conventional and nuclear military in the world.
00:14:41.000I mean, people really deluded themselves into believing this because the mainstream media told them that every day.
00:14:49.000And it wasn't just things like the ghost of Kiev.
00:14:51.000It went way beyond that for months, saying that Putin was changing his objectives.
00:15:00.000And so now they've got to settle for less in Donbass.
00:15:02.000And even in Donbass, it's not going well.
00:15:07.000And if you look into what's happening in Ukraine now, we are weeks away from the complete and total collapse of the Ukrainian armed forces.
00:15:22.000The Russians set out, they've accomplished what they set out to achieve, and that was not necessarily capturing Kiev, because it's not the 19th century anymore.
00:15:35.000The goal, which Vladimir Putin said on February 24th, was to destroy Ukraine's ability to make war, to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, as well as achieve the liberation of Luhansk and Donetsk in the Donbass.
00:15:54.000And almost all of that is nearly complete.
00:15:57.000The strategy which Russia has employed in Ukraine has been not to capture the capital and say, okay, we won.
00:16:05.000The goal has been to degrade and destroy the Ukrainian armed forces, which they've done.
00:16:12.000They have about a thousand soldiers being killed every day on the Ukrainian side.
00:16:19.000Donetsk and Luhansk have been all but liberated.
00:16:23.000There's just a handful of towns left in Donbass, a handful of major towns.
00:16:28.000And once that line breaks in Donbass, once Donbass is liberated completely, there's essentially no other fortified Ukrainian resistance until you get to Kiev, which is across the country from Donbass.
00:16:46.000And so some are saying that by October, Russia may capture Odessa or be on their way to capturing Odessa, which would completely cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea.
00:16:57.000And then Russia would be able to dictate the terms of the surrender and how.
00:17:01.000How much territory they want and what that arrangement will look like, if there will be referendums, if there will be independence, annexation.
00:17:08.000But this all could be over before the end of the year, within months maybe.
00:17:12.000And so, anyway, so they're not covering that anymore in the mainstream media because it's just, there's no way around it.
00:17:46.000Anyway, so the story I want to talk about tonight is about the CIA and about this other rumor that was going on, not just that Ukraine was winning the war, but alongside that, there was all this other propaganda for the past few months, which I heard a lot about, and I think people asked me to speculate even on the show.
00:18:04.000And the myth that went around for months is that Vladimir Putin was deathly sick.
00:18:10.000Some said with cancer, and some people said they don't know what was wrong with him.
00:18:15.000But this was in the media for months that Vladimir Putin was severely ill and was about to die and was undergoing surgeries.
00:18:23.000And people were taking clips from his speeches and pointing to his mannerisms as evidence that maybe he had Parkinson's or a brain tumor, these kinds of things.
00:18:35.000And just like all the coverage of Ukraine winning the war, coverage about Putin's health kind of just stopped at a certain point.
00:18:44.000And we haven't heard about it in a long time.
00:18:47.000Until this week, where a CIA agent confirmed to the public that that was all nonsense.
00:18:55.000Vladimir Putin is perfectly healthy and well.
00:18:59.000And they say that based on his appearances and based on intelligence, there's just no way that he's sick.
00:19:08.000It says, President Vladimir Putin is entirely too healthy, said CIA Director William Burns on Wednesday, dispelling speculation about the Russian leader's well being.
00:19:21.000He said at an Aspen security forum, There are a lot of rumors about President Putin's health, and as far as we can tell, he is entirely too healthy.
00:19:30.000It is not a formal intelligence judgment.
00:19:33.000The CIA chief's comments were later echoed by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who claimed on Thursday that the Russian leader is in good health.
00:19:41.000He said, quote, Ukrainian, U.S., and British would be media professionals have been spreading bogus stories about the president's health condition in recent months.
00:19:52.000The remarks by both Burns and Peskov come after a flurry of speculation in Western media and from officials about Putin being in poor health and purporting that he had undergone a cancer treatment and even survived an assassination attempt.
00:20:06.000Ukrainian officials have also participated in the conjecturing.
00:20:10.000In late June, Defense Intelligence Chief Kirill Budinov said, Claimed that Putin does not have a long life ahead of him, citing a supposed Ukrainian spy ring in the Kremlin.
00:20:21.000Moscow has repeatedly denied the claims of ill health.
00:20:26.000And, you know, this might seem like an innocuous thing, but this is all part of the information war that is being waged by the West as a part of the war against Russia.
00:20:39.000You know, modern war is not fought in the same way it was 200 years ago, where everybody puts on their country's colors and a uniform.
00:20:47.000And they stand in a line and they shoot at each other.
00:20:50.000Obviously, it's fought by 21st century means, which includes radar and intelligence and special forces.
00:20:59.000And a big part of it, too, is the formation of public opinion and the controlling of public opinion through mass media and through narratives that are promulgated by the mass media.
00:21:14.000And of course, the public's perception of the war and how the war is going and the different people in the war.
00:21:21.000That is actually part of the war itself, and in some ways is part of determining the outcome of the conflict, what people think about the conflict and the momentum in the conflict.
00:21:34.000And so, in the same way that the West is giving Ukraine these advanced missile systems and giving them anti tank and anti aircraft weapons, they're also giving support to Ukraine by filling up Western media with all these lies about how Putin is sick or unpopular, or he paid people to be at his rally.
00:21:56.000Or that there's this resistance happening among the oligarchs, that the billionaires that surround Putin are going to do some kind of palace coup because they don't like the war, which we've all heard all these different kinds of things ever since the war started.
00:22:14.000And it's not just that this is speculation that is incorrect, it's not like these are ideas and news stories getting out there that just turn out to be badly sourced or based on ignorance or hearsay.
00:22:35.000They're using media and information as a weapon, and you are the target.
00:22:41.000And the same way that they're trying to blow people up in Russia, the same way they're trying to use missiles to kill people in Russia, they're using fake narratives and fake stories, not things that they got wrong, not things that they didn't understand, not things that they thought were true but then were debunked.
00:22:58.000They're using lies and they're weaponizing narrative and information against the general public, and it's a war on your mind to sort of use you as an accessory in the conflict.
00:23:12.000And they've done this throughout the war.
00:23:13.000Do you remember, for example, it's amazing how the war's only been going on for about, what, four months, five months, which is not really a long time.
00:23:25.000And think about how many different things were.
00:23:28.000At one point, all over the media and generally agreed upon as fact and consensus and universally agreed to be true, then turned out to be wrong and then was completely forgotten about and memory hold.
00:23:43.000Five months, how many stories about the conflict in Ukraine have followed that pattern?
00:23:50.000Because I remember initially, like the first one was the ghost of Kiev.
00:24:36.000A lot of people just forgot about that.
00:24:39.000But in the Western media, it was everywhere saying that Russia was attacking nuclear power plants and blowing them up and trying to create a Chernobyl style nuclear disaster that would destroy all of Europe and Ukraine.
00:24:53.000And then that turned out to be a hoax.
00:25:44.000How much did we hear about that back in March and April?
00:25:47.000That Russia was going to do a chemical weapons attack, that they might consider the use of tactical nuclear weapons to defend Russia if they started losing.
00:26:04.000We made that up to galvanize support behind Ukraine.
00:26:07.000And so it's like there were at least a half dozen, maybe a dozen stories like this.
00:26:13.000So many, and people are hit with it so rapidly that you forget.
00:26:20.000And it's like over the course of the conflict, first we were told there was this ghost of Kiev, then we were told that Russia was trying to blow up a nuclear power plant, then we were told Russia was going to use chemical weapons, then we were told they were going to use a tactical nuke, then we were told that they were going to attack Poland, and it just didn't stop.
00:26:49.000This radical war hawk, even more extreme than Putin, is going to be acting president while he undergoes a surgery.
00:26:56.000It's being kept, there's a tight lid being kept on this in the inner circle, but the Ukrainians have a spy ring that brought us this information.
00:27:06.000And now, even the director of the CIA has come out and said, yeah, that's not true.
00:28:56.000Why is it that my show, if you look at from the start of the war until now, In retrospect, it has been more accurate.
00:29:05.000My coverage of it has been more accurate than NBC or CBS or any of the mainstream media because they're not just accidentally getting it wrong.
00:29:35.000Do you think it's possible that there exists a relationship which is not entirely public that exists between the national security apparatus, which would be DHS, CIA, the Pentagon, the DOD, the State Department?
00:29:50.000Do you think that the diplomatic, military, and intelligence arm of the government has a relationship with U.S. media, indirectly or directly?
00:30:05.000The media pushing CIA propaganda and pushing State Department, Defense Department propaganda is evidence of this.
00:30:15.000They're promulgating narratives in American media from the American government about a global conflict which America is involved in, where the American government has an interest in.
00:30:29.000And they're not doing that accidentally, they're doing that in a coordinated fashion.
00:30:35.000It's not one or another, it's all of them.
00:30:39.000Almost without fail and without introspection and without the interest, maybe, of the public or of the objective truth.
00:30:47.000In other words, you know, if you go out day after day and push Ghost of Kiev and nuclear power plants blowing up and Putin is sick and so on, if you're doing journalism, if you're not in bed with the government, if you're not just a mouthpiece for the U.S. interest in a global conflict in Ukraine, the U.S. government interest in a global conflict, is there not a moment where the one or all of the media looks back at the previous coverage and says,
00:31:14.000we got it wrong, or looks at the coverage of another media outlet and says, they're getting it wrong?
00:31:21.000Why is it that all of the mainstream media, every time, pushes the same wrong information and then moves on to the next wrong information?
00:31:30.000The very information that happens to be almost designed, it's got the fingerprints of the government all over it, by the interested parties in the American national security apparatus.
00:31:44.000And the question is if that kind of relationship exists, if that's the function of the media, then what does that say about other things?
00:31:53.000That the American government has an interest in.
00:31:56.000The American government has an interest in almost everything in oil, in the domestic political situation, in other foreign conflicts, in emerging political narratives about vaccines, about BLM, about election security, about all of it.
00:32:17.000And so this is really critical to understanding what's going on.
00:32:20.000A lot of people are just sort of not, they don't understand the depth of the problem because they're stuck on.
00:32:28.000The media is liberal, or the media is wrong, the media lies.
00:33:24.000And that's a view which is completely inadequate to understand why things are the way that they are.
00:33:34.000The government actively, the government is taking an active role in shaping public opinion through information through the US media.
00:33:46.000And that is a statement which sounds boring and mundane, but is very precise and describes the situation.
00:33:54.000The government is taking an active role in shaping opinion through disinformation using American media.
00:34:05.000And that has been the arrangement for decades.
00:34:08.000That has been the arrangement which brought us the war in Iraq.
00:34:12.000That is the arrangement which brought us the Obama administration.
00:34:16.000That is the arrangement which subverted at every level the Trump administration.
00:34:20.000That is what delivered the pandemic and almost everything.
00:34:25.000Almost everything that, and then the question would be, well, who is the government?
00:34:29.000Almost everything that is the policy objective of the permanent bureaucracy, which is the State Department workers, the Pentagon workers, the lobbyists in the revolving door, the regulators, the people that, not the politicians that sometimes come and go, but the people that they appoint and the people that they hire that work in the federal government and its army of bureaucrats that work in D.C. for 20, 30, 40 years, staffers, regulators,
00:35:35.000Taking the red pill at the minimum, at the most basic level, is realizing that the information that's being sent to us is controlled.
00:35:46.000Not that it's wrong, not that it's fake news, but that the information ecosystem, which you cannot get away from, which no one is immune to, is a constructed, created information environment.
00:36:01.000It is total narrative control, and that comes top down from the government.
00:36:06.000And once you realize that, that's the red pill.
00:36:09.000Then you wake up, in a sense, and you see that it's not just biased liberals on TV telling you what they think, but this is part and parcel of how American foreign and domestic policy works.
00:36:23.000And these are workers doing their job like the police or like the soldiers or like the IRS.
00:36:30.000And they just have a different job, which is to fight against your mind.
00:36:36.000That is what this tells us about everything because.
00:36:39.000You don't just keep getting it wrong on accident, and they all do it, and then none of them have introspection.
00:40:30.000I haven't had the pleasure to meet her yet, but I know a lot of Groypers that have, and it's nothing but nice things.
00:40:37.000And anyway, so we knew she was in this primary.
00:40:40.000We knew she was in this primary with Kelly Townsend, but it seems now that as time goes on, the primary challenge was motivated almost completely by Wendy Rogers' refusal to disavow me.
00:40:53.000That's now, this is now a state Senate race in Arizona, primary.
00:40:58.000Which is now almost entirely centered around this feud, this problem that Kelly Townsend has with me.
00:41:14.000It says, With less than two weeks to go until the primary election, and with scores of mail in ballots being returned each day, the race between the two pro Trump legislators now hinges largely on whether GOP voters will tolerate Rogers' embrace of Nick Fluentus.
00:41:32.000A 23 year old far right political commentator who the FBI has identified as a white supremacist and with an online following known as Groypers.
00:41:43.000I love that that's the FBI says he's a white supremacist.
00:42:00.000Who the FBI has identified as a white supremacist and with an online following known as Groypers.
00:42:07.000Townsend, who abandoned a nascent congressional bid in March to challenge her one time ally in their newly combined 7th Legislative District, has made Rogers' ties with Fuentes a key issue in the final weeks of the race.
00:42:21.000Townsend told Insider in a phone interview on Friday I was not familiar with who Nick Fuentes was.
00:42:28.000I went and watched a compilation video that someone showed me, and I was horrified.
00:42:34.000Which I can only imagine, you know, what she saw from my show.
00:42:38.000Townsend said she gave up one of the most coveted commodities in GOP politics today, a Trump endorsement, in order to run.
00:42:47.000It all began in late February of this year when Rogers, a perennial candidate who finally won a state Senate seat in 2020, delivered a video address before AFPAC, a gathering of white nationalists organized by Fuentes, which is obviously not true.
00:43:03.000We had plenty of black people and plenty of Mexicans and Chinese, plenty of Chinamen and Mexicans and.
00:43:12.000Blacks and people from all over, Polish, clearly not a white nationalist conference.
00:43:19.000Rogers greeted the audience as, quote, fellow patriots, while arguing for the use of a newly built set of gallows to make an example of these traitors who have betrayed our country.
00:43:31.000Her words, not mine, but I think it's based, and she's right.
00:43:36.000She said of Fuentes during her address, quote, I truly respect Nick because he's the most persecuted man in America.
00:44:12.000The article says Days later, Rogers was censured by the Arizona Senate for the violent rhetoric.
00:44:18.000Though the motion did not mention anti Semitism or white nationalism.
00:44:22.000Townsend, who said she missed the March 1st vote because her daughter had a medical issue, says she called Rogers that day and pleaded with her to denounce Fuentes directly.
00:44:32.000She says Rogers told her that she shouldn't have to do that.
00:44:36.000Townsend said, I was just begging her.
00:44:39.000I'm like, I need you to be strong, Wendy.
00:44:42.000I mean, don't you believe in the Bible?
00:44:45.000But Rogers wouldn't denounce Fuentes and still hasn't.
00:44:49.000Townsend said, I was just sick to my stomach.
00:44:58.000Can you imagine, like, a grown woman, a politician, awake at night crying because a Republican won't disavow somebody for making jokes on the internet?
00:46:07.000I mean, it's just inexcusable and it's ridiculous and it's embarrassing that voters would tolerate Republicans that are going to get so hung up on jokes on the internet.
00:46:19.000I've accepted that's the political reality that people are going to make mountains out of molehills about things that I say because of the nature of my message, because it's politically incorrect, and because it's the truth.
00:46:33.000But at some level, you got to put your foot down and say, just stop.
00:46:50.000I could understand this 10 years ago, but in 2022, take a look around.
00:46:57.000There's a lot more to cry about and pray about and put your hand on the Bible about than a 23 year old live streamer making jokes on the internet.
00:47:24.000It says at the time, Townsend was just over one month into a campaign for a U.S. House seat, currently held by retiring Democratic Representative Ann Kirkpatrick.
00:47:34.000She said that she had just gotten the Trump endorsement.
00:47:37.000She ended her congressional campaign days later and announced that she would instead run for reelection, challenging Rogers in her home Senate district.
00:47:44.000Which they now share as a result of redistricting.
00:47:49.000She said, I have to make the statement that this is not who we are, and I'm going to just run off my record and see what happens.
00:48:18.000Townsend released a statement in early March blaming her exit from the congressional primary on the fact that the Trump endorsement had not materialized.
00:48:25.000But she told Insider that a Trump aide told her that the former president would endorse her.
00:48:33.000Insider viewed a series of text messages between Townsend and Kurt Olson, a lawyer who worked on behalf of Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election, in which Olson seemingly confirmed that a Trump endorsement was coming.
00:48:46.000He said, He says, you know, it's done.
00:48:52.000But before the endorsement was published, Townsend announced her primary against Rogers, who was herself endorsed by Trump in November 2021.
00:49:02.000While Townsend says she didn't want to make Trump have to choose between the two of them, she also said she's disappointed in the former president for backing a candidate aligned with white nationalists and no longer wants his support.
00:49:16.000She said, I don't know that his endorsement is going to help me if he's unwilling to speak out against Nick Fuentes.
00:49:21.000Then why would I want an endorsement from somebody who can't do that?
00:49:25.000I'm like, don't you have a daughter in law or a son in law who's Jewish?
00:50:31.000Like, and I've heard from many people because I'm very connected in politics, and I've heard from many people trying to get the endorsement.
00:50:40.000Serious candidates for Senate, serious candidates for Congress.
00:51:16.000And it's about all these various people that are quite literally raising money to try and get in there and get one of these endorsements on Trump's behalf or on behalf of a candidate.
00:51:28.000And so I would bet you two bits Kelly Townsend was going to not win this congressional seat.
00:51:40.000Her district was merged with Wendy Rogers, like this.
00:51:45.000And so Kelly Townsend leaves the district to go run for Congress, and Wendy Rogers is going to take that Senate seat in the combined congressional district.
00:51:55.000Well, probably Townsend was not going to get that endorsement.
00:51:58.000She goes, Well, I was going to get it any day.
00:52:01.000I was going to get it any day and be a shoe in and win this Democrat incumbent seat.
00:52:07.000Oh, but I just dropped out right before I got it.
00:53:42.000I'll drop out and say that I dropped out because of my conscience.
00:53:46.000And I can't because I agree with Wendy Rogers and we're former allies on everything.
00:53:51.000I'll make up some fake issue and say, oh, you know, we agree on everything and she's got the Trump endorsement and she raised more money and so on.
00:53:59.000And I thought I was going to be in Congress, but I was going to lose.
00:54:03.000Oh, well, that Trump endorsement, I turned my back on it because of this Nick Fuentes thing.
00:54:09.000And even though I agree with Monday Rogers on everything and she's my friend, well, she just can't serve because it's about our conscience because of Nick Fuentes.
00:54:18.000So I would bet you money that, without a doubt, I would bet you a million dollars.
00:55:08.000You weren't going to get the Trump endorsement.
00:55:10.000You weren't going to win the incumbent seat.
00:55:14.000But to then bow out of the race and instead of just going home or doing something else, instead of saying, Well, I failed, try again in the next cycle, she's going to come back in the race and throw her friend under the bus and say, Oh, it's about our conscience.
00:55:41.000That is being used to leverage a political situation.
00:55:46.000That is being used to leverage the fact that the state party is attacking Wendy Rogers because she has guts and courage and stuck to her guns.
00:56:03.000She's stuck by the real, stated, nominal conservative principles of free speech and patriotism and being against cancel culture and so on.
00:56:14.000And she has now earned the ire of all of the rhinos in the state of Arizona, like Doug Ducey and everybody else.
00:56:22.000And so all that this is is Kelly Townshend cynically leveraging that unfavorable situation, which Wendy Rogers is in because she did the right thing.
00:56:32.000She did the right thing and has now found herself.
00:56:35.000Censured and a target and attacked by the state and the federal or the national party.
00:56:42.000And Kelly Townsend is cashing in on that.
00:56:45.000Rather than bow out, run again in two years, she's going to make up this shameless lie, make the race about me, which I don't even live in Arizona, so I don't really see how that's relevant.
00:57:14.000It's a lie and it's cynically exploiting a bad political situation on the side of the rhinos.
00:57:23.000And you know that probably she is getting some flavor of support.
00:57:28.000She is getting some degree of support or some kind of support, some type of support, obviously not monetary because she hasn't raised any money.
00:58:03.000He's been in Congress for like a decade, over a decade.
00:58:08.000So, anyway, but she's not getting the monetary support.
00:58:12.000But you know that she's probably being urged along to do this by particular groups that especially don't like me, and they especially don't like Wendy Rogers because she's refused to disavow me.
00:58:30.000It's messed up that you've got America First patriots out there that are trying to do the right thing, trying to spread the right message and advocate for the right causes.
00:58:42.000Wendy Rogers is one of the leaders on election fraud in Arizona.
00:59:14.000She said, nope, the Arizona Senate is in session.
00:59:18.000I need to be here to represent my constituents and vote.
00:59:21.000That's somebody who's in it for the right reasons.
00:59:24.000That's somebody who is out there speaking and advocating and in politics for the right reasons.
00:59:32.000And you compare that to not just the rhinos that are trying to attack her and attack me because we are truly America first, but it's also horrible that you have these cynical opportunists like Kelly Townsend that are going to work with the rhinos and leverage the situation to advance their own career because that's all that that is.
00:59:55.000She would rather reign in hell than serve in heaven.
00:59:58.000She would rather be a tool of the satanic rhinos, Kelly Townsend.
01:00:03.000She would rather be a pawn in the game of rhinos that hate God and hate Christ and hate America and beat Wendy Rogers because she won't disavow a patriot because she's actually principled so that she could get her state senate seat and continue on in politics rather than bow out gracefully and do the right thing.
01:00:57.000So I'll put some stuff out there because she really deserves our support for sticking by not even necessarily everything that I've said, because I know Wendy Rogers doesn't agree with everything I've said.
01:01:25.000Of course, she doesn't own everything that I say.
01:01:28.000But she's stuck by the principle of you don't attack and cancel your own.
01:01:33.000You don't let the left and the ADL and others dictate who the right can associate with.
01:01:39.000That should be a given, you know, and she understands that.
01:01:43.000And so does JD Vance, and so does Marjorie Taylor Greene, who spoke out and said that, you know, she said a little nice thing about us on Tim Pool the other day.
01:01:53.000And the same goes for Paul Gosar and for many people in politics.
01:01:59.000And people like that, we need to reciprocate and show our support because people like that are the real deal.
01:06:35.000So, I'm gonna hire the same guy to do the same production and make the same graphics and design the same logo, and then I'm gonna give the same speech.
01:06:45.000And it's like, okay, you did AFPAC 2 again.
01:09:03.000As long as we are getting something out of it, honestly, I mean, I'm not going to say it doesn't bother me completely, but you have to be pragmatic about it.
01:09:15.000JD Vance defended Marjorie Taylor Greene going to AFPAC.
01:09:22.000And as long as he did that, we're good.
01:10:07.000Yeah, they all do that, and almost all the time, that can give you some pause, but I think you've got to look at it against the whole record.
01:12:24.000You hear him talk, and regardless of what you think about his ideas, like he's brutal hearing him talk because he has like autism or something.
01:12:33.000And so he stutters and he rambles and.
01:12:38.000You know, he has some interesting things to say sometimes, but people will tolerate that because he's written an influential blog for 15 years and Peter Thiel loves him.
01:12:50.000You know, when Peter Thiel loves you and you've been blogging for 15 years and all that, you're the court philosopher of a big time deal, okay, then you can be a horrible speaker and speak somewhere.
01:13:01.000But, you know, if you're some kid and you're terrible and you have no state, there's no potential, there's no stage presence, you either got to get good fast or you got to find somebody else.
01:17:04.000But you don't have to come in here and say, oh, you know, I'm learning more that what you said about Sydney Watson not giving women attention will make them short circuit.
01:17:15.000Like, here you are bragging to me because you're paying attention to some girl that your active strategy of ignoring her is working and she's really worked up about it.
01:17:25.000You know, do you see the paradox there?
01:18:37.000This is why I genuinely have autism, because the things that I say have content.
01:18:42.000So much of what we say is a signal, and we're putting something out there to get something in return, to satisfy something that we can't even.
01:19:29.000Did you think it was funny or did you think that you would get a certain kind of feeling that you would feel a certain way after saying that?
01:19:37.000That saying that and presenting in a certain way would make you feel a certain way because you said that or because of the response you might get?
01:19:48.000So did you say it because you thought it was funny?
01:20:36.000Because every time I was dissatisfied with the result, every time I posted something about my negative feelings, people would reply and say, hey, if you ever need someone to talk to, hit me up.
01:20:49.000And I would never want to talk to them.
01:20:51.000I would never want, oh, hey, random, hey, some guy, hey, some guy that I, I would never want to hit up some random guy.
01:21:19.000And I rarely did it, but whenever I got that inclination, I used to think, like, what am I really, really, what am I trying to achieve here?
01:21:27.000What is the outcome that I don't want to see, that I don't like?
01:21:32.000Deep down, and subconsciously trying to achieve here.
01:21:36.000And then I realized that, you know, so much of communication is unconscious and not conscious.
01:21:42.000So much of our self expression is an unconscious calculation about how about the appearance we're putting on, sort of posturing, and then what we might get in return.
01:21:59.000The things that we say are posturing, the things that we say are posturing and telling other people this is what you should think about what we're thinking.
01:29:27.000I've gotten to know him a little bit better recently.
01:29:29.000Ever since all that drama, you know, I don't want to get into all that, but, you know, I called him up on the phone a few times, and, you know, we don't really talk that much.
01:29:38.000He, you know, we had never really talked so much before outside of gaming or whatever, but he's really a good kid.
01:31:22.000We're sort of like in a perpetual war against everybody.
01:31:27.000So I would just sort of add them to the list of people to sort of grope everywhere all the time, everywhere you see them.
01:31:33.000Like if you see him at SAS, if you see him at any events, if you see him on Twitter, you know, these are people that just should be perpetually groped until they submit and bend the knee.
01:31:42.000And once they do, you know, then we'll relent.
01:36:32.000American values hiring the oaf and then having the audio cut out and ideals not play is just too keck.
01:36:39.000I mean, you know, what more is there even to say at this point?
01:36:44.000I mean, seriously, what more is there even to say?
01:36:46.000And, you know, I don't want to attack that guy too much, you know.
01:36:50.000Because, you know, unlike the other loser, he just sort of, he, well, I mean, he flamed out twice, but he did his thing and then he went away.
01:37:02.000I just want these people to go away so I could focus on doing my job.
01:37:06.000But, you know, I guess people saw him at the event and the oaf is the one running their tech.
01:37:17.000I guess somebody saw that and literally took a picture of him there.
01:37:21.000I mean, so it, It's obvious what's going on there because they had all the same production.
01:37:27.000And I don't want to hit the guy too much because after he lied about me and did his usual feminine routine and shilled his cash app, he went away.
01:39:26.000Every business owner that I have talked to since that drama in May, they have, and I'm not exaggerating, I'm not making this up, they have all literally said the same thing.
01:40:18.000And so the thing is, in business, you get these personalities all the time.
01:40:24.000When you're in business, you get like, that's just the dynamic.
01:40:28.000When you hire people, you have to manage personalities.
01:40:33.000Any business owner, any leader of anything will tell you that.
01:40:37.000When you're not the top guy, like, I'm the big guy, but when you're the leader, when you're the responsible one, The responsible party, and you have to manage people.
01:40:49.000Everybody will tell you that that's the kind of mix you get.
01:40:52.000You'll have really good people, and you'll have kind of average people.
01:40:55.000And then there are people that are lazy, or they're deceitful, or they make excuses, or, you know, nothing's ever their fault.
01:41:10.000And anyway, and especially in politics, you get a lot of this because politics is like it's less of a real business than the private sector.
01:43:27.000AFPAC 3, which was our most technically sophisticated, biggest, best achievement ever, we did it without any of the people that have come out of the woodwork to say, Nick is a really mean boss.
01:43:40.000Nick is a really mean boss who sings in the car and watches Euphoria.
01:43:46.000I mean, we put on AFPAC 3 without any input or participation from any of them.
01:46:03.000Because here's a guy that he's a good looking, fit, well spoken young guy, and he went into the priesthood.
01:46:11.000And it's like, you know, I don't mean to sound like, I don't know if this is going to sound a certain way, but, you know, there's a guy who really could have had, like, as far as, like, he could have had a really nice material life.
01:46:37.000It takes a very that takes a level of piety that I don't have, that takes a level of commitment and sacrifice, which is just unbelievable, you know, which is just completely admirable.
01:46:52.000So, God bless him, you know, because I look at a guy like that and it's like you could become a U.S. Senator, you know, you could literally, if you wanted to, you could become a U.S. Senator.
01:47:02.000You could become whatever you want in America.
01:47:04.000And it's not to say that, like, but a priestly life is obviously a life of, and not an orthodoxy, you're not, you can still have a family in orthodoxy, but as a priest, obviously, your life is dedicated to prayer and service and holy orders.
01:47:24.000And so you look at a guy like that and it's just absolutely nothing but admiration.
01:47:28.000That is the most admirable thing a person can do.
01:52:19.000Because people can talk and talk, and they could say, oh, I don't like this, or I don't like that, or you're, wow, this is, you know, wow, this is such a bad scandal.
01:52:30.000And I always say, okay, let's see where we're at in a year.
01:53:49.000Hey, Nick, this recent, but not sure if you've seen a tweet from R. Spencer linking to a video of Sam Sainter, video of you writing letters to a secret gay lover.
01:53:57.000It all sounds fake, and Spencer is seething.
01:54:00.000I didn't see that, but yeah, that sounds about right, right?
02:01:05.000He tells the story on the stream where he's like, Oh, Nick made fun of my relatives that committed a murder suicide.
02:01:14.000And that makes me sound like an asshole.
02:01:17.000That makes me sound like the worst guy ever.
02:01:19.000He's like, I told him that my aunt and uncle were murdered, and then someone committed their murder, committed suicide, and then he laughed.
02:01:28.000And it's like, Look, now that sounds terrible, but you got to keep in mind, it was every Everything we asked this guy to do, he couldn't do it, couldn't do it on time, couldn't do it as well as we needed him to do it.
02:01:42.000And it was always literally every time.
02:03:50.000When somebody's out to get you, they will just say anything.
02:03:53.000If someone has, and it's not even like they're out to get me, there's resentment for whatever reason.
02:03:59.000His life is going badly, he blames it on me.
02:04:02.000He wasn't able to make as much money as he wanted doing as little work as he did, so he blames me.
02:04:08.000I didn't listen to his advice on certain things, and so he resented me for this.
02:04:15.000So then I'm going to, so I'm the villain.
02:04:17.000It's decided I'm the villain, I'm the bad guy, and then to get everybody to donate to the Cash App, it's going to be one turn.
02:04:23.000My aunt and uncle got killed, and then there was a suicide, and he laughed.
02:04:28.000And it's like, okay, well, as always, there's two sides to every story.
02:04:33.000And then he goes, they made, he refused to participate in the prayer.
02:04:40.000He laughed when we prayed, or something like this.
02:04:43.000And, you know, I don't know exactly what situation he's talking about, but you got to keep in mind, it's like, this is a very Catholic group, which is a good thing.
02:04:53.000But I can think of, there was like one time, During the white boy summer pool party on the 4th of July, which I think Simon was at.
02:06:52.000I'm the real human being that you see on the show.
02:06:54.000And you could take anything that I've said or done in my life or my career and make it out like it's this horrible thing.
02:07:01.000But, you know, and it's funny, they didn't come out and say, oh, Nick is doing drugs or, oh, Nick is, you know, banging hookers or banging e girls or something like that.
02:07:10.000They didn't come out and say something really, really, I mean,.
02:07:14.000You know, this is like two people who work for me at a very close level, and the worst they could do is like, you'd never believe he watched Euphoria.
02:07:57.000It's a shame because, you know, we really tolerated Simon and, you know, and he just repaid that with this just animosity that, frankly, I don't even really understand where it comes from.
02:10:50.000When you're in a position of leadership, you kind of understand human nature better because you're responsible for people and it's kind of like your job to understand people.
02:11:02.000And there's a real red pill in this about class and about society and about people is that somebody that is paid.
02:11:12.000And doesn't own property is completely different than a person who is a business owner and owns property.
02:11:21.000It just, you will understand that if you're a business owner.
02:11:25.000You will understand that if you own property.
02:13:18.000It's about what is seen and what is unseen.
02:13:21.000And when you're responsible, you have to deal with the unseen.
02:13:25.000When you're not responsible, you don't.
02:13:27.000And the same thing is true when you're a wagee.
02:13:29.000When you're a wagee, you apply for a job which presupposes a business and employment and investment and risk and capital and training and all these things an idea and entrepreneurship.
02:13:42.000When you apply for a job, the job's there.
02:13:54.000They show up, they enter a business which has been built.
02:13:58.000They go to a kitchen which has been built.
02:14:01.000They receive a training from a manager that has worked there, a training that's already been thought of, and they work with products that have been ordered.
02:14:09.000They know how much needs to be ordered, and from where to order, and how much they cost, and how much the prices should be.
02:14:14.000They show up and do what they're told, and they flip their burgers that are there, and they hang up their smock, and they go home to their rented apartment.
02:14:20.000It's like, now that is so different than, on the other end of the spectrum, somebody like Elon Musk, who knows everything about manufacturing.
02:14:29.000And everything about Tesla is and knows about batteries and knows about production and knows about factory lines and factories and permits and subsidies and tax incentives.
02:15:19.000And, you know, they may know a particular thing about their industry, but that is a real red pill about the distribution of the population.
02:15:32.000Because, you know, when I started investing in real estate and When I started hiring people and getting into this stuff, you just learn so much more by being the guy that your ass is on the line.
02:15:44.000When your ass is on the line, it's a totally different mindset than when your ass is not on the line.
02:16:09.000And then that's that relationship between the landlord and the tenant, or the business owner and the employee, or whoever the leader is in their team.
