In this episode of America First, host Nicholas J. Fuentes and co-hosts Dennis Prager, Adam Carolla, Ben Shapiro, and Groyper discuss the No Safe Spaces Live Stream, and why it s important to have a safe space in America.
00:01:50.000What we're doing today is a live stream to talk about the No Safe Spaces movie, but more broadly to talk about the thing that we're kind of all talking about all the time.
00:02:00.000And I don't mean just the four of us, I mean everybody.
00:02:02.000Really, in the United States and all over the world, this crushing attack on free speech that you guys see.
00:02:13.000In the corporate world, in academia, now in our political world, in the cultural sphere, everywhere, everyone seems to be afraid to say what they think.
00:02:22.000And I found, I think, the last three guys who aren't afraid to say what they think.
00:02:28.000Gentlemen, say something controversial right up top.
00:02:31.000Dennis, what's the most controversial thing?
00:03:34.000Are they undergoing the self revolution in Brazil?
00:03:38.000Don't you wonder why the left hate Brazil?
00:03:42.000We got 3% of the Africans who came here, plus in the last 30 years, 3 million Africans, 3 million blacks have come here, 1 million from the Caribbean, 2 million from Africa because they know how good it is for a black to live here.1.00
00:07:36.000And it encompasses the fact that your neighbor is probably not a garbage person.1.00
00:07:40.000I was talking the other day about the fact that in LA, the only thing that anybody seems to care about is planting these stupid ass lawn signs that say all of these dumb, tautological slogans that mean nothing like what they actually are supposed to mean.1.00
00:08:14.000Is that the person who lives next to you is a bad person.
00:08:16.000You're a good person, the person who lives next to you is a bad person, and it's sort of like this pagan Passover routine where instead of painting the blood on your lintel, you take the blood off your lintel.0.70
00:08:24.000I do like that the whole live chat is Groyper.0.90
00:12:36.000I cannot for the life of me understand why any of these propositions that biological men and women are different, that men and women generally have some differences, that America is an extraordinarily good place.
00:12:48.000And by the way, the best place in 2020 for any ethnically black person to live on planet Earth, by far.
00:12:53.000It is not close in terms of income, in terms of freedom, in terms of rights, in terms of legal protections.
00:13:00.000None of these should be controversial statements, but because the media have deemed anything they disagree with controversial, they become controversial.
00:13:07.000And this is why, and we all know this, right?
00:13:12.000When people actually listen to your show, they will come up to you after a show and they'll say, but wait, I thought that you were super controversial, right?
00:13:18.000I thought that you were super hateful.
00:13:34.000It's just because they've decided that if you disagree with the general kind of democratic left view of the world, then you are inherently controversial.
00:13:41.000For the record, I did not know that I was a right wing.
00:13:44.000Okay, we're at 700, 300 more downvotes.
00:14:11.000I want to thank our sponsors, the Young Americas Foundation, YAF, YAF, and the good people at the Capital Research Center who are helping us put this whole thing together.
00:14:20.000By the way, guys, you may be watching this on nosafespaces.com.
00:14:25.000That's actually the safest spot you're watching this on.
00:14:28.000You're watching this on DLive.TV slash the Jay Points.
00:14:30.000The last couple days, the guys who put the film together were trying.
00:14:44.000Facebook decided that they did not want to take, I think, roughly around $10,000 in advertising funds because they did not want people to see this movie.
00:14:54.000So if you're watching, you might be watching this on the Facebook page, but we're most likely watching on noSafespaces.com or on the NoSafespaces YouTube page, which that kind of.
00:20:33.000And that is, How, since there are a lot of college students watching, how should college students deal with this?
00:20:39.000Because a lot of college students are in a position where if they speak freely, they get graded down, they are socially ostracized, in some cases, they get kicked out of college.
00:28:53.000I want to jump back for a second to something that you said, Danica, about the story that you just showed.
00:28:58.000You talked about happiness, how happiness is actually related to this.
00:29:02.000That if you choose to live as a victim, you will actually be endlessly miserable.
00:29:07.000The people who are constantly talking about tolerance and diversity, if these things were true, it seems like you would be happy at the end of it.
00:32:06.000Because I grew up with these people, too.
00:32:09.000But I was starting to think about, and you're right, purpose, you know, happiness is empty calories, and purpose is like, you know, steak and potatoes kind of a metaphor.
00:32:20.000But I realized there's a reason why these folks may be unhappy.
00:33:47.000Even if you have a task as big as end racism, normal people have subtasks.
00:33:53.000Let's get early life checks, early life checks.
00:33:56.000So you can say, okay, look how far I've gone, right?
00:33:58.000You can turn around and when it comes to.
00:33:59.000Look, we're never going to end racism, but if you look at America in 2020 and you look at America in 1820, there's some fairly significant differences.
00:34:07.000The task of life is moving through these great achievements.
00:34:12.000And for the left, look back and say, look how far we've come.0.89
00:34:14.000But for the left, because they don't have those tasks, because all that lives out there is this miasmatic power that's supposed to jowl stout, like it's a windmill from Don Quixote.0.91
00:34:24.000There's no way to look back and say how much we've improved.0.53
00:34:26.000And so every Marxist essay about race, for example, begins with here's a terrible thing that happened in 1818.
00:34:31.000And now just fast forward 200 years to 2020.
00:35:16.000It's like this is all climate change.0.97
00:35:18.000It's like, well, if you'd clean up the damn forest, you probably wouldn't have this giant wildfire.
00:35:21.000But they don't want to do the tasks that are right in front of them because then they might not get to complain about the giant goal that they have, which is to quote unquote end climate change or something like that.0.98
00:35:33.000It's not just that the goal is wrong, they don't even want the subtasks toward achieving that goal.
00:35:37.000Well, also, think about the misery of you saying you're talking about sort of what you've done.
00:35:45.000And everything's compared to the past, you know?
00:35:47.000So it's like, imagine if you said, hey, I just got my report around racism.
00:35:52.000By the way, this conversation is whatever.
00:35:56.000But notice how nothing that they've said so far is actually in any way challenging the status quo.
00:36:02.000That's the point I want to, one of the points I want to drive home is the whole theme of this, whatever this is, is that all these people are canceled.
00:36:14.000And this is happening on Constitution Day.
00:38:43.000I watch 80s and 90s basketball games on YouTube when I'm doing cardio, and guess what?
00:38:47.000It's fun, and I know every shot that they hit, and the Jordan shrug, and everything else, and it reminds me of something.
00:38:52.000And I was even thinking this is what I said to you earlier I was even thinking that 10 years from now, if this continues to devolve, kids are going to watch those games from 30 years ago, 40 years ago, and go, whoa, not only did people play basketball games in places called arenas where people came, but white people and black people cheered together.
00:41:13.000And so when these other cultural things and political things start bleeding into our sports, I think the reaction is the last thing that was pure and sort of unstepped on.
00:43:46.000You can't have fake tribal affinity when serious issues are at stake.
00:43:49.000And what the left has said is that the issues that are at stake are so large and so powerful that we are not allowed to have fake tribal affinities anymore.
00:43:58.000You can't sit next to somebody who roots for the same team as you if you guys vote differently in the 2020 election.
00:44:03.000You shouldn't be allowed to be friends with that person.
00:44:05.000You shouldn't be allowed to talk about anything that's strategic.
00:44:44.000If multiracialism means you can't even be civil at the water cooler, that tells you there's something wrong with multiracialism, obviously.0.90
00:45:15.000I think that the left decided that the media was not enough anymore, that the media was not a powerful enough instrument with which to achieve their will.
00:45:23.000And so they took all of their soft instruments of power, Hollywood, It's like, oh, these people that literally can't even drink water together at the water cooler, let's move them into the same neighborhoods and the same schools and have them working in the same place.
00:45:37.000And, like, we're going to turn up the heat.
00:45:40.000Like, it's literally going to get hotter outside.
00:45:42.000And there's going to be limited resources, natural resources, but also monetary resources like jobs and money and public services.
00:45:52.000And, like, that sounds to me like a perfect situation.
00:45:56.000People that literally can't get together in the sports stadium.
00:46:12.000It's odd that you wouldn't want to fork out $200 or $1,000 if you got a couple kids to go to a game to have a bunch of people making $8 million a year lecture you about things.
00:47:09.000Yeah, so what do you think, as conservatives, how do we fight the culture war when it's already, I mean, it seems like it's already been lost at this point.
00:47:20.000I mean, the left has so much domination of our media and our sports.
00:47:27.000So, how do we even try to start that backlash in the culture war when it seems like there's just too much that they have under their control?
00:47:37.000Yeah, well, it's a great question because it's sort of an offshoot of what you were just talking about that it's not just you go to an NBA game and it's Black Lives Matter, but you open up Apple TV and there's a message of social justice.0.90
00:47:48.000Literally, you go to Uber Eats and they tell you to go to these black owned businesses.
00:47:53.000Lululemon was advertising resist capitalism.1.00
00:48:10.000But his question is sort of an offshoot of what Ben was saying, which is that once this thing has leaked to the world, they're socialists, but yet they buy products.
00:50:42.000And that's tough, especially when you're that age and you think your friends are everything you've got.
00:50:46.000You know, when I get that question, I'm going to give a little nod to what you do, Dennis.
00:50:51.000But I tell people, you're in college, you're not going to get somebody to necessarily read a book by Thomas Sowell, and you may not get somebody to spend hours researching all this stuff.
00:51:01.000But you could watch a Prager U video on some of this stuff, and there's some good ones that are pretty easily digestible that maybe is going to get the point across.
00:51:08.000I find, though, that the wake up sort of has to come on their own.
00:54:47.000You start leading your life, you start telling the truth, and you lead by example.
00:54:53.000They see you, they see your family, they see your grades, they see how you interact with other students or peers, they see how you conduct yourself, and then essentially you just are the person they would like to be.
00:55:07.000And by the way, you're the neighbor they would like to have because you're the decent person who picks up your dog poop when you're taking them for a walk, even when they crap on the lawn of the person you disagree with.
00:55:30.000And I totally agree that the first purpose in any conversation, the first thing you have to do is gauge whether the conversation is worth it.
00:55:36.000Because you only have so many breaths to expend on this planet.
00:55:38.000And when you're on your deathbed, you're really going to wonder whether that night that you spent arguing with the Karl Marx devotee carrying the Howard Zinn book was really worth it.
00:55:47.000That's going to be time that you want back.
00:55:48.000So what I've always said is that you have to determine who you're talking to.
00:55:51.000Some people are actually open to a conversation, and then great, have the conversation.
00:55:54.000Some people are really not open to the conversation.
00:55:57.000And the only reason to have a conversation is to sort of sharpen your skills, if you want to do that, maybe, make your arguments better.
00:56:04.000And sometimes the purpose of the conversation is you're having a conversation with somebody who is hard left because there's an audience for it.
00:56:10.000And there, that's kind of what Dennis does on a regular basis, or what I do on a regular basis, where you have to really debate them and bring out your tool set and go to work.
00:56:18.000But determining what kind of conversation it is is really crucial because you see so many people burning those empty calories, particularly on social media, on Facebook, on Twitter.
00:56:27.000It just eats your life, it really does.
00:56:28.000I mean, one of the best things I've done, Dave, Dave now takes social media Shabbos.
00:56:33.000But one of the best things that you can do, honestly, get off social media more hours a day.
00:59:57.000I saw it personally where I would try to come and speak at events, not just in campuses, but elsewhere, where people would shut us down and try to stop things.
01:00:05.000I looked at the time at some amazingly surprising campuses, certainly what was happening at Purdue under Mitch Daniels, but even the University of Chicago, Princeton, some other places that had some pretty eye opening policies.
01:00:18.000You know, everybody proclaims that they're for free speech, but unless you put some teeth behind it, and we really pushed the University of Wisconsin.
01:00:26.000And our regents to do just that years ago, well ahead of all this.
01:02:10.000I remember Bill Bennett years ago, Secretary Bennett, decades ago literally, warned that the left was going to take control of education, higher education, culture, and media.
01:02:22.000I wonder what young people are watching this.
01:03:03.000And particularly in a college experience, you should have exposure to all different ideas so that you can defend those ideas in the future.
01:05:38.000We walked them through how to do that, how you keep the law, but how you don't allow them to take things over because no one ever expected.
01:05:45.000And Paul Ryan and Scott Walker to me are the same, just like boring, generic, mild mannered white guys.
01:06:58.000I'm just entertaining myself at this point because I'm bored out of my mind.
01:07:02.000So the other side in this regard, that's their goal.
01:07:05.000I mean, if the state wants to use the state to get the things done that you want to get done, people on the right, they generally shy away from that.
01:07:12.000So there's an asymmetry in this battle, which is why.
01:07:51.000To the dignity that's born of hard work.
01:07:53.000A lot of people who are back in their homes working aren't every day figuring out new ways to get the government and government funded programs to drive their agenda.
01:08:03.000That's all the more reason, like, discussion for having right now.
01:09:59.000I would preface it, though, by saying before you speak out, raise your hand and ask your professor, your instructor, whoever it might be, if they believe in free speech.
01:10:10.000Get them on the record saying what they say about that.
01:10:13.000And then after they say, which overwhelmingly they're going to say, of course I do.
01:10:19.000You know, it's a basic tenet of higher education.
01:10:21.000Well, then say, well, then I should have a right to share my opinion.
01:10:24.000It doesn't guarantee that it'll be corrected, but at least it will put it in context as opposed to having a lot of these people say, Certainly in the presidential election, but we see it just in the discussion of the ideas.
01:10:36.000They're so blinded by their views and the belief that anyone is just wrong and evil and unjust.
01:10:45.000I've said for years the left is driven by anger.
01:10:48.000We need to be driven not by anger towards our opposition, but rather by this positive belief in the American people and sharing that.
01:10:57.000Reagan used to, we talked about Reagan's views.
01:10:59.000I would remember that, like the comrade's stomp videos.
01:11:01.000But I would start by asking that instructor, that professor, if they believe in free speech.
01:11:07.000Then at least you got something to fall back on.
01:11:09.000Do you think the universities can be turned around?
01:11:30.000Even UW Berkeley, we want a big, big deal there over free speech.
01:11:34.000So we can win in the courts if we have to.
01:11:37.000But I'd like to give support not only to our students, which is foremost.
01:11:41.000I'd like to find ways to provide support for professors, for educators, and even teachers in kindergarten through 12th grade, particularly in our high schools.
01:11:49.000Because I think there are more that aren't necessarily conservative, but I think there are more who at least acknowledge that the current system isn't fair.
01:11:57.000And if we can give them more support, let them know that they're not alone, that there is support for people who want to teach objectively.
01:12:08.000I need in higher ed and even in high school and junior high, I just need objective education.
01:12:13.000If people teach, Basic American history, world history, economics, and financial literacy, the world would change overnight.
01:12:20.000At least this country would change overnight over the next few years if our students were exposed to the truth, which I believe is on our side.
01:12:30.000Well, you've got your work cut out for you, but I suspect that you're going to be up to the challenge.
01:12:35.000Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, future GAF President Scott Walker, thanks for joining us on Council Con.
01:14:30.000Well, right now, obviously, there's not a lot happening on the comedy scene in clubs since everybody has been shut down thanks to COVID.
01:14:37.000There are some outside things happening, a lot of virtual shows, which is interesting because you still get the feedback live time just in the chat.
01:14:46.000Like, oh, that was really interesting.
01:16:02.000They're afraid of losing followers, of losing fans if they let their true opinion shine, which is so sad because that's the antithesis of.0.93
01:16:11.000Comedy, you guys were speaking earlier about you know speaking into your truth and this personal responsibility that we all need to embrace and bring to the table.
01:16:21.000And comics should absolutely like that's what the greats did, you know, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Lenny Bruce.
01:16:29.000These guys were out there putting their souls, yeah.
01:17:41.000And then everyone says to me, wait a minute, why would you say out loud you don't like your parents on a show that's Openly on the internet, and I go, because my parents would never watch a show I was on.
01:18:10.000I was talking about humor and the importance of humor and why we need to keep it and embrace it and have it in all of our lives.
01:18:16.000There were 17 people in the club, 300 people showed up to shout me down.
01:18:23.000Now, the good news is because I'm charming.
01:18:27.000I was able to kind of quell the audience.
01:18:29.000And I literally said to them, you know, you guys are spending a lot of money to come to this institution.
01:18:35.000And the fact that you are going to miss an opportunity to really get higher education, to be exposed to new ideas, to broaden your horizons, like, isn't that the point of why everybody's here?
01:18:47.000Like, why would you do that to yourselves?
01:18:51.000And don't you all also believe that everybody has a right to have their voice heard?
01:18:58.000And in fact, people came up after the show, thanked me for coming.
01:19:02.000Some people even wanted to join the group because they didn't even know what the group was about.
01:19:07.000They just heard their friends say, Oh, well, we can't let these people have this person come in.
01:19:11.000And they've had speakers before who'd been shouted down and couldn't even speak.
01:19:17.000So I felt that it was a huge victory on my part and a huge victory for free speech.
01:19:22.000And if we can have more sessions like that where we talk to people and we reach, not just try to reach their minds, but their hearts and get them to understand, as a student said, That once free speech goes, you know, it's going to be a domino effect with other things.
01:19:36.000Free speech doesn't mean you have to agree with what somebody else says.
01:19:39.000They don't believe in free speech.1.00
01:19:41.000Ask this bitch if I could say the N word.1.00
01:19:43.000Do you think she'd be okay with that?1.00
01:19:45.000Or if I was racist or sexist or typeface.
01:19:48.000I told you this once on your radio show, Adam.
01:19:50.000I used to do a joke that involved the N word, and it wasn't to be racially offensive or in a pejorative way.
01:19:57.000I was doing an impression to make fun of people that use words like that.
01:20:02.000And for about five years, I was just going to laugh.
01:20:04.000And then I remember one night I was on stage at Gotham Comedy Club in New York City, and the crowd kind of froze like all at the same time.
01:20:11.000And I remember in my head thinking, I'm never going to tell that joke again.
01:20:15.000And that's a pretty dangerous place for a comedian to be.
01:21:00.000I think it was in Fox News, wherein a company, I think a hair salon, put out an ad.
01:21:08.000We would like someone, you know, knows hair, knows how to and it's happy because it's important to our customers, and they were attacked for discriminating against the unhappy.
01:21:22.000You saw this case from USC where a professor has now been suspended because he was trying to explain how people use various filler words in various languages.
01:21:50.000I actually am optimistic about this part of the culture because the left is so humorless and so obnoxious that it's unbelievably boring, like crazily boring to the point where you see the whole.
01:22:08.000These are people who are certainly not on the political right and they're starting to get annoyed with it.
01:22:12.000And they should be annoyed with it because the left, I have a theory and that is that the left was always humorless, but I think Trump absolutely killed comedy.
01:23:06.000They've lost all capacity to even do humor to the point where you watch Seth Meyers and it is indistinguishable from watching Chris Cuomo or Don Lemon on CNN.
01:23:14.000And that's a real soft spot for these folks.
01:23:16.000I think that, like, when the best that you have to offer is Hannah Gadsby doing anti comedy, I think you're pretty much toast.
01:24:40.000We're missing out on opportunities for relationships, experiences, and opportunities just to grow and to engage with one another and to not be stuck in this.
01:24:52.000Thank you for adding nothing, nothing to this already useless convention.
01:24:58.000Before Tim Allen talks about censoring himself, and this is a guy.
01:25:27.000Because I enunciate, because I finished my sentences, because I happen to know who my father is.
01:25:32.000And my mother hated that joke, and my dad thought it was hysterical.
01:25:36.000My parents have been married 53 years.0.99
01:25:38.000And I think it's like, you know, for anybody to look at that and be like, you know, assume that, you know, all black people don't know who their fathers are, like that, screw you.0.98
01:25:46.000Like, how dare you make that assumption?0.92
01:25:49.000I know there are certain statistics out there, but that doesn't speak to everybody's experience.
01:26:45.000Well, you know, if you think about comedy, and so here's why.
01:26:49.000There's a, these are competing sort of notions being politically correct and left leaning in comedy because comedy is really mostly about stereotypes.
01:27:02.000Like, if you're making a joke about gay people or Jewish people, then you have to do stereotypes.0.99
01:27:09.000And I was explaining to my son, I can't make fucking jokes.0.99
01:27:21.000Stereotypes that don't work, then, like you go, oh, you know, when you're running late and you always get behind on the freeway, you get behind one of those German guys driving a Porsche, and it's like, that doesn't make sense to me.
01:27:34.000But you go, old lady or old Asian lady or whatever it is, and then all of a sudden we're back with the stereotypes.
01:27:40.000But if you can't do stereotypes, then there goes a lot of the jokes.
01:27:43.000And I said to my son, I said, here's how comedy and stereotypes work.
01:27:47.000I think you'll learn after this, I'm the world's worst dad.1.00
01:27:50.000I said, son, What if I told you you were going to compete in a spelling contest with an Indian kid?1.00
01:28:00.000You'd go, oh crap, I'm going to get slaughtered.1.00
01:28:03.000What if I told you that kid was American Indian?0.99
01:28:14.000And he laughed because he understood the stereotype of the Indian kid, obviously, who nails the spelling bee.
01:28:45.000The question basically is that there seems to be sort of an asymmetry in the way we fight this, that the left is constantly always fighting, always taking everybody out.
01:28:53.000And that if we're picking sides, our side kind of doesn't do it.
01:28:57.000When is the last time a bunch of people tried to take out a left wing comic?
01:29:55.000And we will stop doing these cancel tactics against folks that Media Matters likes as soon as Media Matters stops using these cancel tactics against folks on the right.
01:30:02.000Because the basic idea was going to be that there is this tremendous asymmetry where every time Tucker says something, Media Matters goes after his advertisers.
01:30:10.000If Dennis says something, people go after his advertisers.
01:30:12.000If I say something, people go after my advertisers.
01:30:15.000Advertisers believe that there is only pressure on one side, and so they've got to believe that there's pressure on both sides, or the left has to stop with this stuff.
01:30:21.000So I totally get the mutually assured destruction of it.
01:30:23.000And I think that there is something to the idea that you arm up with nuclear weapons to dissuade the other side from using nuclear weapons.
01:30:29.000You can't just kind of wait around hoping that the better angels of their nature kick in, because there are no better angels, unfortunately, of Media Matters nature.
01:31:13.000The entire right wing in media infrastructure is threatened with complete destruction because all the advertisers are going to be removed from them.
01:31:19.000My business partner and I have discussed this.
01:31:21.000I mean, if we have to go nuclear on the entire advertising industry because they're going to destroy everybody on the right, then we'll just make it unpalatable for them to advertise with anybody, period.
01:31:30.000And then we'll see how everybody likes this particular game because either everybody's going to play the game or nobody's going to play the game in the end.
01:31:35.000Yeah, Dennis, what do you make of the asymmetry?
01:31:37.000We really haven't talked about big tech too much, and obviously that's a huge part of this.
01:34:16.000So the people who help the fighters, and it's probably fair to say we're all fighters up here, so if you support our sponsors, if you support our foundations, whatever it might be, you are just as important as anything that we might do.
01:34:30.000Not everybody is cut out to be a fighter, but everyone is cut out not to do nothing.
01:34:40.000So, with that in mind, when we took a little break, when we showed some of the clips, we actually all kept talking about this stuff because this is what we do.
01:34:47.000And we sort of whittled the conversation down to what I think was sort of about hope at the end.
01:34:53.000You know, we're here in L.A., we're here in California.
01:35:20.000We'll take our tax dollars and the starter.
01:35:23.000We're going to go someplace where they don't waste our tax dollars on complete random nonsense that is antithetical to everything I value and believe in.
01:35:39.000One is that there will be a backlash to this.
01:35:41.000I think that the left has so overstepped its boundaries.
01:35:42.000They've become so censorious, so nasty, so unlivable that people will backlash to it.
01:35:48.000I think that one of the problems right now is because everything is channeled into the forum of a presidential election, and because President Trump is who President Trump is, he may not be the best vehicle for the backlash.
01:35:59.000Meaning you have to fight to get, for a lot of people, the backlash may not manifest as a vote for Trump.
01:36:05.000It may manifest as speaking out in their job, or it may manifest as getting involved in a private school as opposed to a public school or a charter school or something.
01:36:13.000Or homeschooling, which is the big thing, right?
01:36:15.000I mean, they're literally, this is the greatest moment for homeschooling in the history of the world, I mean, bar none.
01:36:20.000But I'm hopeful that there will be a backlash on the one hand.
01:36:23.000I'm also hopeful that the right is going to, at a certain point, consolidate and realize the battle we're in.
01:36:30.000This is all, this part of, you know, part of what we do, all of us, I think, is fighting the left.
01:36:35.000But part of it is trying to wake up the right to what the battle actually constitutes.
01:36:39.000And this is a really hard part of the battle.
01:36:41.000Because for a lot of people on the right, they think that what the battle really amounts to is, If I sign a check to my church and I give a little money here and I give a little money there, that's good enough.
01:36:50.000The left has militarized every component of the culture.
01:36:53.000And what that means is that we're going to have to start thinking, unfortunately, like the left does, in terms of how they use their market share.
01:36:59.000And so I think it's actually morally incumbent at this point to turn off the NBA.
01:37:02.000I think it's morally incumbent at this point not to watch the NFL.
01:37:05.000I think it is morally incumbent to take a look at how you're spending your money with corporations that actively seek the destruction of your value system.
01:37:13.000I'm not talking about people who just advertise on the other side.
01:37:16.000Everybody should be able to advertise.
01:37:17.000I'm talking about corporations that are actively promoting the idea that America is evil and putting out public statements suggesting that America is evil.
01:37:23.000You should not spend your dollars with them.
01:37:25.000And I think that as people awaken to the fact that the walls are closing in, they're going to start flexing their muscles in a way they simply have not.
01:37:32.000Because we're still operating on the right in a universe where there is a water cooler, and now the water cooler has been completely poisoned.
01:37:38.000And so when we wake up to that, I think that there is a lot of muscle that has not yet been flexed.
01:37:41.000And when that happens, I think that there could be something interesting that happens.
01:39:36.000So I think you're going to find a group.
01:39:39.000And in a way, Ben was sort of speaking about this vis a vis Los Angeles and California in general, which is okay, one group is going to go, screw it, have everything you want or think you want, but you really don't, abolish the police, have all the homeless people you want, just do whatever you want.
01:40:01.000Hand out drugs, do whatever, hand out food, hand out money, and then we will go over to this octagon over here known as Texas or Tennessee or Florida or wherever that is.
01:40:12.000And I think everyone who's moving toward the octagon sort of realizes the fate of the people that are moving into the safe spaces.
01:40:21.000It hasn't happened yet, but we all understand that.
01:40:25.000Notice, by the way, that this has 3,400 viewers.
01:47:04.000Vincent James with the Ninjagini, thanks a lot.
01:47:08.000Huge anus says, Could you imagine if Trump and Biden actually had that boxing match that Joe challenged him to back in 2018?
01:47:16.000I pictured Trump doing a quick eye poke, and as Biden reels back holding his face, Barron knocks the ref out, and Trump stone cold stuns Biden.0.98
01:49:01.000He is weird and he is unnatural, he's anti human.0.99
01:49:05.000Temple OS says little Benji looks like the kid who got to sit in the backyard with his dad and his friends while they smoke cigars and bullshit about politics.0.99
01:50:19.000Throb Schneider says, Augsmer is two super chats away from donning an oriental wig, binding his feet, and bringing you cake with a slice of cold pizza swapped in place of the inner frosting.
01:52:02.000Well, and maybe that's another component of it.
01:52:04.000Obviously, the questions in the QA were totally scripted.
01:52:09.000You know, they made sure that the only people that could do the QA were these three groups in those three schools that were hosting viewing parties Texas AM, what were the other two?
01:52:21.000A school in California, and then one other.
01:52:24.000And now, and literally one question each, one scripted question, right?
01:52:28.000So, yeah, and that's how they'll have to operate in perpetuity.
01:52:32.000They cannot open up a QA or any kind of open ended audience engagement ever again in the future, literally because of us, which is kind of funny.0.89
01:52:41.000The Groiber war continues to haunt them for the rest of their lives.
01:52:47.000Hater Times says Dennis Prager and Ben Shapiro think that the U.S. is the dumping ground for the world's poor.
01:53:00.000Andrew Claven, I'll say I like more than the others.
01:53:03.000Here's the thing about Daily Wire Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh and Andrew Clavin are all Christian and they're all basically socially conservative.
01:53:16.000They're all pretty socially conservative.
01:53:19.000Matt Walsh has recently been more woke about the race stuff, but if you really watch it, he's not that.
01:53:24.000He talks like he is, but he really isn't.0.59
01:53:28.000So the Daily Wire crowd is kind of an anomaly because Michael Knowles in particular and Matt Walsh are Catholic.
01:53:35.000And, like I said, they have these super socially conservative views, which are probably more aligned with us.
01:53:39.000It's just that all three of them combined are very cucked on race and obviously cucked on Israel and, you know, Jewish influence and things of that nature.
01:53:52.000So they're a part of the conservative establishment.
01:53:55.000I'm sure, or maybe, if Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh and Clavin were doing their own thing, I imagine maybe they'd probably be closer to us than a lot of people.
01:54:05.000But, of course, they work for somebody who's totally controlled and.
01:54:08.000So, they have to be totally controlled.
01:54:11.000You know, the substance of their content.
01:54:13.000Or then again, they could just be totally cucked.
01:54:15.000You know, they may not even be under the sway of Ben Shapiro.
01:54:20.000Maybe they just aren't that out there.
01:54:42.000That's why during Groyper Wars, I stressed you got to keep the firepower directed at Turning Point.
01:54:50.000Because last year, Turning Point was the epitome of everything that was wrong with Con Inc.
01:54:55.000It was hollow, it was inconsistent, it was this free market worship, it was liberal socially.
01:55:03.000You know, there were a lot of problems that were unique to Turning Point and that were really like emblematic of all the problems in Con Inc.
01:55:14.000It was not as cut and dry because, like I said, Daily Wire was good on maybe a third or maybe 40% of the issues.
01:55:23.000And more than that, they were smarter.
01:55:25.000Clavin, Walsh, and Michael Knowles say what you will, they're smarter than Charlie Kirk and like Rob Smith and the goofies at Turning Point.
01:55:33.000They're better at arguing, they're better at obfuscating, and they would engage.
01:55:37.000In Turning Point, they started doing the shady stuff where they would like cancel the QA or they'd divert the lines or whatever.
01:55:46.000And that backfired because what they should have done is just come up with a decent response to our questions.
01:55:52.000If they had just come up with a compelling answer, which is what they should have done from the get go, then they probably would have been better off.
01:56:00.000But instead, they started to do this funny business.
01:56:03.000And then everybody that might have been leaning is like, okay, well, if you've got nothing to hide, why are you messing with the QA?
01:56:35.000That's why during Groyper War, I cut it off after Charlie Kirk ended his tour.
01:56:40.000I declared victory in the Groyper War, which is a genius tactical decision on my part, after the final Culture War event, Turning Point Culture War Tour event in late November.0.70
01:57:39.000He tries to sound like us, but he isn't.0.96
01:57:42.000He tries to sound like he's woke about this race stuff, but he isn't.
01:57:46.000He doesn't think that multiracialism is inherently unworkable.
01:57:49.000He thinks that the problem with anti white is that if all these Jews and blacks and everyone else in media and entertainment is anti white, he thinks that will beget a racist counter reaction, or I guess a racist reaction.
01:58:06.000And he thinks that, like, that is problematic, that it will incite racism in the other direction.
01:58:12.000And the real problem, of course, is that bringing in massive groups of people who are dramatically different leads to conflict inevitably.
01:58:22.000In order to avoid the conflict, let's just stop the cause of the conflict, which is the mixing.0.61
01:58:29.000You know, but Matt Walsh, I mean, he'll call out the anti white stuff, but he doesn't believe in these group differences, he doesn't understand tribalism.0.93
01:58:39.000He doesn't believe that multiracialism is the problem.
01:58:42.000I mean, he believes at the end of the day that all of this is just a great big misunderstanding.
01:58:47.000And people like that, they might sound like us, like I said, they could talk the talk and they could use similar talking points, but they don't get it.
02:00:00.000Raul says, Dennis Prager's five chins.
02:00:03.000Also, I was opening up banned.video to watch Infowars, and right as it popped up, I saw your telegram message about you being on Alex Jones.
02:00:28.000And I'm not saying that just to say it.
02:00:31.000I mean, over time, I have really come to appreciate him and his personality and what he represents.
02:00:39.000He is like, he is the archetypal American.
02:00:43.000He is like an archetypal Texan American.
02:00:47.000And even when I'm on the interview, I don't know if you could tell, but I'm like giddy because I just get such a kick out of him and I think he's great.
02:01:39.000You know, there are, you know, I don't know how many black people watch America First, but I know maybe about a half dozen or a dozen black people that watch the show, that are super chattered, that I've met before.
02:01:56.000You know, and it's not like, look, I mean, this show isn't unironically like hating an entire group of people or anything like that.
02:02:03.000I mean, We talk about what goes on with race and with these different groups and all that.
02:02:08.000But I have to say, I mean, it's funny because everybody would have this perception about America First that, oh, this is like the white incel show.
02:02:54.000But, and to the point, what I'm getting at is Dennis Prager's actually kind of right.
02:02:58.000I mean, maybe Republican is the wrong word to use.
02:03:01.000He says, oh, you know, a happy person is Republican.
02:03:05.000Well, I would say that's not totally true.
02:03:07.000The people that watch this show generally are.
02:03:10.000Like that, because the kinds of things that this show embraces are the things that are good for people.
02:03:18.000I mean, if you're a Christian, the Bible and God's Word is like the instruction manual for human beings.
02:03:25.000If you're looking for how to live your life and what's good for you and how to have your soul and your flesh and all of that aligned and sort of healthy and going in the right direction, it's Christian, it's America first, it's everything we talk about on the show.0.97
02:04:46.000Like her joining the fray when she did as forcefully as she did completely changed the game.
02:04:55.000That was like in the Avengers when Thor, I know this is kind of cringe, but when Thor came out of nowhere, do you remember in, which one was that?
02:05:05.000In Infinity War, do you remember in the Battle of Wakanda when he comes out of nowhere and it's lightning everywhere?
02:05:10.000I know that's a very cringe, you know, Marvel, Boo, consumer, but that's like the magnitude of what happened.
02:05:56.000And the dominoes have been falling since the Groeper War and they haven't stopped.1.00
02:06:00.000It's not obviously, I mean, I don't think anything will match the energy of Groip War for a while, as that was like a once in a lifetime sort of event.0.98
02:06:08.000I mean, it was a really exceptional event in the history of this show.0.99
02:06:13.000We'll have more things like that in the future, but it's not always going to be like that, you know, because that was like crazy.
02:06:19.000But the dominoes have not stopped falling since last year.
02:06:23.000They continue to fall every day, of people joining and America First becoming more and more normalized, becoming more and more accepted, and people.
02:06:34.000Ignoring the blacklist, ignoring all of that.
02:06:39.000I mean, she really, and you know what?
02:06:42.000The reason that I say that is it's a testament to, like, it really is a testament to the fact that there are still people out there that really have heart and who care.0.99
02:06:54.000And that to me was so invigorating because at some point you feel like, oh, I'm just a big idiot.0.98
02:07:01.000I threw my life away to do America first, and it's a suicide mission.1.00
02:07:06.000I mean, me, just some college dropout going up against this entire conservative establishment, trying to do the right thing, trying to say the right thing, you know, making mistakes, whatever.
02:07:15.000I'm thinking, man, I just totally messed up.
02:07:17.000I should have been some kind of like snake, deceitful, and hid in the shadows and been Machiavellian or something.0.97
02:07:24.000I guess I was just this foolish, naive guy to think that, you know, that there would be any kind of support.0.83
02:07:30.000And Michelle throwing her weight behind it, it totally, like I said, it was like spiritually reinvigorating.0.56
02:07:36.000It's like, here's somebody who's on another level, a legend.
02:07:40.000Who comes out and says, you know what?
02:07:42.000I'm throwing in because we don't have time and we've got to start turning these things around and these guys are being unfairly attacked.
02:07:49.000It was like in Star Wars when Darth Vader sees his son being killed by the Emperor and he takes the Emperor.
02:07:55.000You know, the cringe, I know, like, you know, Reddit movie references, but like that's what happened.
02:08:05.000And that, like, that sacrifice, because it was, I mean, she got fired by Yaff and it caused problems, obviously.
02:08:11.000That sacrifice, that bold move, getting in there, I mean, it has made all the difference.
02:08:17.000And if everybody did that, that should like send a message.
02:08:21.000Everybody could look at me and Michelle and everybody in this thing, everybody in this thing, and look at all the good people who are, you know, like doing the right thing, no matter what the consequences, and being smart, but doing the right thing.
02:08:36.000And hopefully that's going to start to change hearts and minds.
02:08:39.000Hopefully people start to say, you know what, the time to fight is now, and it's time to do the right thing.
02:08:58.000Throb Schneider says Adam Carolla is mostly Italian.
02:09:01.000He has a Jewish step grandfather, which he would refer to as the guy who would wake him up by making Jewish sounds at him to wake him up during the night to correct his childhood bedwetting.0.82
02:17:53.000Gen Z Philosophy says, E. Michael Jones once made the excellent point that the ADL runs off the same guilt by association, subversive moral paradigm that inspired the Pharisees' hatred of Christ.0.79
02:18:12.000Subversive guilt by association, yeah.
02:18:16.000Says the only reason I could think of as to why Kareth Foster is considered a comedian is because Patrice O'Neill had her as co host for a short time on the Black Phillips show.0.71
02:18:26.000He would just constantly call her ideas dumb and berate her.
02:22:10.000Our stuff is way better, obviously, way more compelling, way more interesting.
02:22:15.000We match them and exceed them with a fraction of their subscriptions while being deplatformed, while being, you know, shadow banned, and with a fraction of the funding and being blacklisted.
02:22:27.000Like the list goes on and on, and we beat them.
02:23:15.000Literally the entire live chat was us the entire time.
02:23:19.000I funny says, why do modern conservatives and their supporters have such a defeatist mindset?
02:23:24.000We never play to win because they don't want to win.
02:23:27.000Who comprises the conservative movement?
02:23:29.000Atheists, Jews, homosexuals, at least as far as Capitol Hill staffers, bureaucrats, think tank types.0.77
02:23:38.000I mean, like everybody that constitutes the actual so called movement, this con inc, this machine that comprises like the Republican conservative industrial complex.0.98
02:23:50.000It's literally, and I'm telling you, you gotta believe me when I tell you it's atheists, Jews, and homosexuals.0.95
02:24:43.000It doesn't exist to advance right wing goals.0.97
02:24:47.000It exists so that the money keeps flowing, so that the donors keep paying and the think tanks, you know, keep churning out their crap.
02:24:56.000And, you know, people are floating around in these jobs in The Examiner and Red Alert and in consultancies, consultant companies, and in campaigns and whatever.
02:25:11.000It's like just a giant campus of, like I said, these millennial types who are fags and atheists and many of them Jewish who really couldn't give a shit.1.00
02:25:22.000I mean, they're living in DC, living it up, or they're living in LA, living it up, or they're living in New York City.1.00
02:25:28.000And what is meaningfully different between them and liberals?
02:26:21.000Anyway, Kevin Brose says BLM and the DNC are trying to kill white people and Christians, but Shapiro equates market boycotts as going full nuclear on the left.0.93
02:26:32.000As for Prager, we should live for freedom.0.65
02:26:34.000That's easy to say when you're a New York Times bestseller in a gated community.
02:26:38.000I'm certain those college students are blackpilled.0.96
02:26:42.000Well, and that summarizes it entirely.
02:26:45.000You know, and then like I just said, People like Ben Shapiro have nothing in common with us.
02:26:51.000People like Dennis Prager have nothing in common with us.
02:26:53.000They don't even have anything in common with Donald Trump.
02:26:56.000If these people were in the position of Donald Trump, they would be happy to collect the paycheck and streamline and everything, you know, streamline their operation and whatever.
02:27:06.000Donald Trump is somebody, I'm just watching him, that's why it made me think of it.
02:27:10.000Donald Trump is somebody who really cares about America, I think.
02:27:14.000And who knows, I mean, maybe it's an ego trip to be the president, but.
02:27:17.000I think he really does care about America.
02:27:19.000I think that he really is in the fashion of a George Washington or some kind of an elder statesman.
02:27:27.000He is somebody who has lived a long life and he's been in real estate and been in the private sector, obviously.
02:27:33.000And he's old and he's got the resources and he's seen a lot.
02:27:36.000And now that he's in a position where he's basically done it all, now he wants to do something great for America.
02:28:35.000Compared to the real problems that we face every day, the real problems is not an abridgment of our freedom or a restriction on our freedom.
02:28:43.000The real problems that we face every day are things like crime.
02:28:47.000It's being targeted by the government in the ways that they arbitrarily enforce code or laws or whatever.
02:29:40.000And then now that they're a millionaire, and like you said, they're in a big mansion and a gated community and whatever, now they're concerned with this sort of surrogate, made up fight, this LARP.
02:37:27.000I mean, like I said the other day, I was in high school watching all these people, watching Sam Hyde, watching Alex Jones, Gavin, Milo, all these types, and now it's like, now I'm hanging out with all of them.
02:40:21.000I would even say a little Gavin would be in there.
02:40:26.000But really, and it's not to say those are the only people I like, but as far as influencing my style, I think probably that you could see the most discernible influence from Sam Hyde.
02:40:38.000And everybody has been influenced by him in the right wing period.
02:40:42.000Anybody who's not a hardcore leftist who is funny has been influenced by Sam Hyde.
