00:00:37.000And so tonight we're celebrating the one year anniversary since the awesome riot at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, a glorious day which will echo down through the ages awesomely.
00:00:55.000And so tonight our featured and only story is about the January 6th incident.
00:01:03.000And we'll talk about what's gone on today.
00:01:05.000There's been remembrance events all over Washington, D.C.
00:01:11.000A speech by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, as well as Nancy Pelosi.
00:01:20.000So, we'll talk about the events of this January 6th in 2022, but we'll also be talking about the events of last January 6th and my reflections on the day one year after the fact.
00:05:18.000And it was funny because, you know, I'm looking at all of our logistics for this coming conference, and I'm looking at the space, and I'm looking at the stage, and I'm looking at all the aspects of it.
00:05:29.000And then I go back and look at AFPAC 2, and it's kind of crazy because AFPAC 2.
00:07:20.000And, you know, I'll start off and I'll just say a little bit.
00:07:25.000I didn't really prepare a statement or anything.
00:07:28.000And I figure I already talked about the 2021 year on New Year's Eve and a little bit earlier this week on Monday when I came back.
00:07:38.000And really, you know, my statement on New Year's was about the 6th, because the 6th last year is what defined all of 2021 for me.
00:07:47.000For really anybody in the right wing political scene, it changed everything.
00:07:51.000So it's funny how those things work out.
00:07:54.000It was situated perfectly at the beginning of my sort of professional business year of 2021.
00:08:03.000I just got back from vacation, and then the next day I flew out to D.C. for the Capitol.
00:08:10.000But I want to talk a little bit about my overall thoughts on what's gone on for the past year, and then we'll talk a little bit about specifically what happened today, because, like I said earlier, there was a speech by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, which I want to cover, and there were some other events.
00:08:27.000But before we get into the events, The 6th in 22.
00:08:33.000And, you know, first of all, I just want to clarify yes, I was there.
00:08:38.000You know, if you remember January 6th, it's important that we contextualize what was going on there because I think a lot of people forgot the shock and awe of the FBI investigation and all of the federal law enforcement consequences that came as a result of the 6th, I think overshadowed.
00:09:02.000It overshadowed what had happened before and overwhelmed people such that I think maybe they forgot a little bit.
00:09:08.000And it's important to remember before I say what I'm going to say, because I said this on Telegram, I'm going to say something a little controversial tonight.
00:09:15.000It's important that we understand what was going on.
00:09:18.000So, really, we have to take it all the way back to November 8th, 2016.
00:10:18.000And even long after we had walked like a mile to our buddy's car, we drove out of the district, we were holed up in Arlington, Virginia, and we got back and we were like, oh my gosh, I can't believe that just happened.
00:10:42.000And the reason why we have to go over this is to understand the significance today because we have to remember January 6th and not for the same reasons that the left is.
00:10:52.000I know there's the left and they say we have to remember January 6th and they're saying this partly, I think, because they're trying to distract from their failures and this is supposed to scare Democrats to vote for them again in the midterms.
00:11:07.000I think that's actually a plausible explanation.
00:11:10.000Of course, the other part of it is they're using this as a pretext to expand the jurisdiction of federal law enforcement and the intelligence community to target their political rivals.
00:11:20.000But even that, we have to talk, we have to go all the way back to understand why that's going on.
00:11:27.000But to counter that prioritization of the sixth, to counter this fixation on the sixth from the left, a lot of right wing people are saying, no, it wasn't a big deal.
00:11:40.000Was as bad as 9 11 or Pearl Harbor, then the right says, Oh, that's a joke.
00:11:45.000Of course, it wasn't because way more people died on 9 11 and Pearl Harbor plunged us into a war.
00:11:51.000And if the left says we have to remember the sixth, the right says, no, we don't.
00:12:49.000I don't regret a thing about my actions on January 6th, and I don't regret a thing, anything that I did leading up to it in the three months prior since November 3rd, 2020.
00:13:01.000And I don't regret anything that happened before that going all the way back to November 8th.
00:13:18.000These are the stories that we have to tell ourselves about ourselves.
00:13:23.000These are the stories we have to tell our children about ourselves.
00:13:27.000And this time, these are the stories that will shape the mythology of the new country that we're trying to create.
00:13:34.000And whether that is, don't take that to mean anything in particular.
00:13:37.000I'm not talking about, you know, a revolution or something, but I mean, when we make this country great again, when we take America back from these interloper, transnational occupiers, this is going to be a touchstone.
00:14:18.000There was politics before Donald Trump, before he announced he was running in the summer of 2015, and there's politics after that happened.
00:14:29.000We have to understand the significance of this.
00:14:32.000This is not a normal political moment.
00:14:35.000Donald Trump is not a normal politician.
00:14:37.000Joe Biden in this administration is not normal.
00:14:41.000We are in a very unique and particular time.
00:14:45.000And the reason for that is because Donald Trump did not run against the left, as we know, and the Democrats.
00:14:52.000He did not run as a conservative or as a Republican.
00:15:05.000But he ran independently, as we know, first against the Republican Party in the primary and defeated all the top Republicans, Ted Cruz among them, who's been in the news in the past 48 hours, as well as Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee, all of them.
00:15:23.000Governors, senators, representatives, other business people, a surgeon, right?
00:15:29.000First, he ran against the Republicans, and he said what?
00:15:32.000We're going to build a wall between America and Mexico.
00:16:16.000In this time, after eight years of Obama, eight years of Bush, eight years of Clinton, after the Reagan revolution and then, you know, the Bush interlude.
00:16:25.000And he said, make America great again, which means what?
00:16:29.000Implicit in this is three things in particular.
00:16:33.000It means America was great, is no longer great, and these things kind of work together, but that it's possible, and we're going to, this is the call to action, we're going to restore the former glory of America.
00:16:50.000As an independent against both parties.
00:16:52.000With those issues, immigration, which is related to demographics as well as the labor economy, free trade, which is really related to the financial and economic sovereignty of the nation.
00:17:06.000Who's controlling the means of production?
00:18:06.000And this is revolutionary because every other politician that came before and during and even now today is saying something like what we saw today from Biden and Kamala it's our democracy and we're a great country and this is who we are and, you know, all this kind of stuff.
00:19:43.000They blamed it on so called fake news.
00:19:45.000That's where the term originally came from.
00:19:47.000Facebook said that they were going to implement a feature that would mediate between media companies and Facebook users, and it would identify, Facebook would identify the so called real news and the fake news.
00:20:06.000And they said outlets like Infowars or The Gateway Pundit or Breitbart or others were fake news, spreading fake information, disinformation.
00:20:17.000Which tricked people into making the wrong decision, voting against the Republican Party, against the Democratic Party, against the current regime, and in favor of this revolutionary, basically, is what he is voting in favor of regime change.
00:20:33.000And so they said the next day, you know, we will never allow this to happen.
00:20:36.000And that's one of the first things they did.
00:20:39.000And then we knew what happened in the White House with the personnel.
00:20:43.000Ryan Priebus was in charge of the transition.
00:20:45.000He brought in a bunch of Republicans and Establishment figures, they filled the White House with saboteurs essentially who were going to sabotage the Trump agenda and were not loyal to him personally.
00:20:57.000And we saw over the past five years it was the media lies, it was the Russia hoax, the Mueller investigation, it was the impeachment, it was endless obstruction from his own officials, from Congress, resistance from his own party in Congress.
00:21:11.000And then in 2018, we lost to the Democrats and then they held it up.
00:21:18.000It's very important to establish this.
00:21:55.000And ever since then, the regime was retaliating and all aspects of it.
00:22:01.000Academia retaliated, big tech retaliated, the media, the permanent bureaucracy, the intelligence community, the billionaires.
00:22:09.000And they were all collaborating in different ways on different things.
00:22:13.000It was the Steele dossier, it was the Mueller thing, it was the impeachment with the call from Ukraine, it was the government shutdowns, media lies, and they were all coming together and lots of overlap and lots of.
00:22:27.000Collusion and collaboration between them.
00:22:30.000And after five years, they exhausted Trump.
00:22:34.000And after five years, honestly, Trump put up a pretty good fight.
00:22:39.000You know, after all was said and done, we had 500 miles of border wall.
00:22:45.000There were a few other things, the tax cut, which was not as exciting as we thought it would be.
00:22:52.000But they really fought tooth and nail to prevent Trump from making the kind of serious revolutionary change that he was promising.
00:22:59.0002016, and we all acknowledge this in the buildup to the 2020 election.
00:23:03.000I don't think anybody who was excited about Trump in 2016, who was in the know and who was participating in the Trump movement in a real way, I don't think anybody was really all that impressed or happy with the results after five years.
00:23:18.000And then the pandemic hits, of course, and things go on.
00:23:23.000And without going too much into 2020, because I mean, that was a little bit more recent, we lived through that.
00:23:29.000In 2020, they The real coup was against Donald Trump.
00:23:34.000After five years of undermining his legitimacy, after five years of sabotage and obstruction and wearing him down, they overthrew him with this hoax pandemic, fake mail and ballots, and a conspiracy to rig the election in five swing states in 2020.
00:23:52.000Trump was aware of this as early as June 2020, and people talked about it from then all the way on, talking about how the pandemic would affect the actual business of the election, which is to say, how people would vote on election day or before election day.
00:24:08.000People talked about the vulnerability of the voting machines and the possibility and likelihood of fraud if you have massive amounts of mail in ballots.
00:24:20.000And I know I was warning about it for months in the build up to the election, as were many other people Darren Beatty, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump himself, all sounding the alarm bells about pending fraud.
00:24:36.000And we even saw social media prime the pump.
00:24:39.000Prime the people's minds for what they were calling the red mirage, which is to say, they were telling people that it might look like Trump was going to win, or it might look like Trump effectively won the night of the election.
00:24:53.000But as the mail in ballots were counted, which are going to be a significant factor because of COVID, his lead would disappear and Biden would become president.
00:25:01.000And in the interim, social media would be actively censoring and moderating the information about the election online.
00:25:20.000They pumped the machines in Milwaukee and in Detroit and in Atlanta full of the mail in ballots, which were statistically, mathematically impossible.
00:25:29.000And then in the coming weeks, we saw them do the same in Pennsylvania and in Arizona and in Nevada.
00:25:34.000And within a few weeks, the election was stolen.
00:25:38.000And then we tried everything in our power to correct that.
00:25:41.000You know, we went through and we did the.
00:25:44.000The Texas case went all the way to the Supreme Court with 23 other states signing on to their briefing.
00:25:50.000And we went to the state capitals and protested, and we demanded that Republican state legislatures audit the ballot.
00:25:58.000And if they couldn't audit the ballot, that they appoint the representatives themselves.
00:26:02.000And we tried every legal mechanism to get the election investigated, scrutinized, audited, thwarted at every turn.
00:26:10.000We tried to get the Supreme Court to intervene and look into the improprieties.
00:26:17.000And then on January 6th, as we know, it was with the background of all of that that Donald Trump brought his supporters out 500,000 people, maybe a million, for his rally on the ellipse, which I attended in the front row.
00:26:31.000But I was beside Mike Lindell and Alex Jones and, you know, all the VIPs, all the big, you know, pro Trump people right there.
00:26:41.000And in my mind, I was thinking it was over.
00:26:44.000You know, the election results were about to be.
00:27:34.000The American people are being screwed over and raped and killed for decades.
00:27:39.000We're not in control of our government.
00:27:41.000We know we're not in control of our government.
00:27:44.000We know that it does not matter who we vote for, it does not matter who wins the elections.
00:27:50.000The people that win the elections are not in control.
00:27:54.000The people that vote in the elections are not in control.
00:27:58.000The people that are in charge of this country are the permanent bureaucrats that are appointed.
00:28:04.000By the elected officials and that work in government for decades, and they outlast Republicans, Democrats, presidents, senators, Congress, as well as the billionaires, the rich, the super wealthy corporations, and the banks that put up all the money for the campaigns for the politicians, as well as, on some level, the academics and the universities that churn out professionals that then go into work in the prestigious corporations,
00:28:34.000in the permanent bureaucratic class, or in the think tank scene where they're writing the laws for.
00:28:40.000The point is this this is not our country anymore.
00:28:44.000The people of America are no longer sovereign.
00:28:48.000And the people that are running the country the rich, the multinational corporations, the people from Harvard, Yale, MIT, Columbia, the permanent bureaucrats not only is it them that is in charge as opposed to us, they hate us.
00:29:06.000They're not of us, they're not like us, they're not from the places that we're from.
00:29:10.000They have formed a breakaway nation of their own.
00:29:15.000These people that live in New York City, these people that live in Washington, D.C., in Los Angeles, in the big coastal cities, and they all go to the same schools, and they're all part of the same families, and they all know each other.
00:29:27.000They have, over the past 30, 50, 100 years, formed something like a breakaway nation of their own.
00:29:36.000And this ruling elite, this separate nation, is not American in character.
00:29:42.000You really can't describe it as American at all.
00:31:27.000And that's why Trump cut through the whole Republican field, no matter what the media said, no matter what the Republicans said.
00:31:34.000That's why he cut down Hillary Clinton, even though they gave her a 93% chance of winning and all the media was behind her and so on.
00:31:41.000And that's why, even after five years, five years of sabotage, media lies, the impeachment, all of it, he still got 65 million votes and won the election in 2020.
00:32:48.000They stopped counting on election night.
00:32:50.000They picked up where they left off at 4 a.m., and they took literally suitcases of ballots from underneath the table and threw it on top and started counting those.
00:33:02.000And anybody that questioned it, anybody that scrutinized it, was censored, blacklisted, shut down, and not even our Republican representative said anything.
00:33:11.000The Supreme Court wouldn't even hear the case.
00:33:15.000And so, what I see on January 6th is 500,000 to a million patriots saying, you know what?
00:33:23.000We tried on November 8th, 2016, voting for Trump to come to Washington, D.C.
00:33:29.000Now we're going to come to Washington, D.C.
00:33:35.000There was a million MAGA one in November, a million MAGA two in December.
00:33:39.000He called his people for the third time to pressure our elected vice president, our, it was a Republican constituency, our elected vice president to do the right thing.
00:33:49.000Just one guy, one act of courage to set this thing straight and prevent this insurrection.
00:33:57.000And before the rally was even completed, Mike Pence had betrayed us.
00:34:01.000And then those people went to the Capitol.
00:34:03.000And for the first time, In who knows how long, maybe centuries, this rival nation, this regime, these parasites that have been sucking our blood and stealing our money and raping our kids for generations, finally we outnumbered them and we were on their front door and we surrounded them.
00:36:05.000I think it was a moment of exuberance after decades of being oppressed and dominated and spit on and stepped on by these rats in Washington, D.C. That's what I think it was.
00:36:18.000And to shy away from that, to subtract from that by coming up with these flimsy conspiracy theories about, oh, well, What about this boomer the night before?
00:36:36.000Or maybe he was just some idiot boomer.
00:36:38.000Either way, in my opinion, it really doesn't matter.
00:36:41.000I'd like to believe that the American people still have the balls to go to the Capitol and do what they did on January 6th.
00:36:48.000That's what I'd like to believe about January 6th.
00:36:52.000And those cops that got their asses kicked in the tunnel, maybe they should think about who they're really working for.
00:36:58.000When I see those images, those cops getting pushed around and the barricades blown up, and what happened in the tunnel and in the doorways, and they're getting smashed in the doors, I think, you know what?
00:37:08.000It's about time these people that enforce vaccine mandates on us and our kids and enforce mask mandates, and they did nothing while blacks burned down our city last year.
00:38:30.000It was awesome that something like that can still happen in America because you know what?
00:38:35.000Everybody wants to talk about how bad things are.
00:38:37.000Everybody wants to complain about how bad things are.
00:38:42.000And I'm not going to be the guy that says that violence is the answer or riots are the answer because I don't think that's the case.
00:38:48.000And I certainly would not encourage people to go out rioting and marauding again.
00:38:54.000But that being said, there is, I think, something to be said about the fact that we still live in a country where people can get fed up enough to carry out something like what happened on January 6th.
00:39:09.000That somewhere in this country, there are some people who are not just going to stand around like assholes on the Capitol lawn with picket signs and do chants and complain.
00:39:22.000It's not a strategy, it's not a tactic.
00:39:24.000I don't think they showed up to overthrow the government.
00:39:27.000But in that moment, it was really decades of corruption laid bare.
00:39:33.000The real insurrection, like Trump said, was on November 3rd.
00:39:41.000It's a republic of by and for the people and all that.
00:39:47.000And we believed it and we elected Trump and we thought that we were going to have the peaceful transfer of power back to the people and a real regime change and a real change in the way things are around here.
00:40:01.000They just lied and cheated and screwed us over.
00:40:05.000And they ripped up the ballots and they banned all the Twitter accounts and they just stopped covering it in the news.
00:40:11.000And they thought that, you know, after everything that had happened, they were just going to put Joe Biden in and he'd have that little black poet laureate give her a little slam poem.
00:40:20.000And that was going to be the closing of the chapter of the Trump Revolution.
00:40:26.000And that's why I think that was the only way that the Trump Revolution could have ended with the people with their president in our Capitol sending these scumbags in Washington, D.C., scurrying away literally in their underground tunnels.
00:40:41.000I think that was the only way that it could have ended.
00:40:43.000I don't think it was an insurrection attempt to overthrow the government.
00:42:06.000That's why I was shocked and awe at the inauguration, because they knew that if they would just allow people to gather and challenge the legitimacy of the election and surround the Capitol like that unpunished.
00:42:20.000Their reign would be very short lived after that.
00:42:31.000I think that, yeah, the federal government probably knew what was coming and they maybe instigated some of the violence and certainly they manipulated events to work in their favor.
00:42:41.000It could have been a grand conspiracy.
00:43:07.000Tell me that seeing hundreds of thousands of patriots, real people from all over the country in D.C., surrounding the Capitol, not as tourists, but surrounding the Capitol, demanding our country back.
00:43:22.000A sea of red hats, American flags, they're hanging from the balconies, they're hanging from the steps and all over the place, and they're pushing down the Capitol police, and all the congresspeople have evacuated.
00:43:37.000Tell me that that isn't an awesome thing.
00:43:39.000Patriotic, heroic sight to see, because that's what I saw.
00:43:44.000I saw in many ways the fulfillment of November 8th on January 6th.
00:43:52.000We won on November 8th, we won on November 3rd, and they thought that they could just rip up our ballots and say, What are you going to do about it?
00:46:32.000I would discourage anybody from being violent because I don't think that, in the grand scheme of things, in the long term, I don't think that's how we're going to achieve our political objectives.
00:47:35.000He was the one man, the one patriot who could do it, only one, and lead this revolution in 2016 when he came down the escalator.
00:47:45.000I salute all of his loyal people in his inner circle.
00:47:49.000And I don't want to name them because I don't want to get them in trouble, but they know who they are.
00:47:53.000Salute every patriot working within the administration throughout the Trump years to prevent the sabotage and carry on the mission and the mandate that Trump received on November 8th, 2016.
00:48:36.000We pray for them, those that are dealing with the worst of it.
00:48:41.000And we hope that more and more people, as time goes on, are going to wake up and see what's going on and feel as passionate as the people on that day in January 6th.
00:48:51.000A great day, a great day in human history, a great day in American history, a great day in human history, a great day in world history.
00:49:02.000And you just know one of the reasons, and okay, so monologue over.
00:49:05.000One of the reasons that you know why it was awesome is because everyone hates it.
00:49:10.000The left hates it, the right hates it.
00:49:12.000That's how you know it's a good thing.
00:49:15.000And I just hate all these people explaining it away.
00:50:09.000And I know this is now, we're now back to saying things which have been said before, but, you know, let's also not forget that this came less than a year.
00:50:20.000After nationwide blacks burned and destroyed how many cities?
00:52:22.000I was blowing tens of thousands of dollars of my own money on this paying security, hotels, flights, food, rental cars, megaphones you name it.
00:52:37.000And given speeches at the Capitol and the Governor's Mansion, and it was crazy.
00:52:52.000And it was supposed to be a nice sort of closing action to stop this deal.
00:52:56.000We were going to go watch a Trump rally, brace ourselves for the Biden administration.
00:53:01.000I wasn't even going to go to the Capitol building, but then, you know, Trump said, hey, we're going to peacefully protest, and, you know, we went with everybody else.
00:53:13.000You can't tell me that 500,000 people, after everything that characterized the Trump revolution, 500,000 Trump supporters surround the Capitol.
00:53:25.000They beat back the cops to even be on the complex.
00:53:29.000And you're telling me it was like one or two provocateurs.
00:54:08.000You know, there's all this gay moralizing, which was meant to shackle us and prevent us from telling the truth and doing what was necessary.
00:54:16.000Because have you ever noticed that they never have to play by the rules?
00:54:45.000And I'm not, I don't believe in democracy by any stretch.
00:54:49.000But it's what we have, and that's the part of the mythology of our country, and that's what they say, that's the morality, that's the basis upon which they attack us.
00:55:01.000And what's the bigger assault on the democracy?
00:55:03.000Half of the votes are mail in ballots that were submitted two weeks before the election and counted two weeks after the election?
00:55:10.000Or a riot that happened at the Capitol?
00:55:12.000You know, at what point do you say enough is enough?
00:55:16.000And the consequences for living under this regime are real.
00:55:20.000The lives destroyed, the drug overdoses, the cities destroyed, in some cases literally by black people, the businesses set on fire, the buildings that were burned to the ground, cars destroyed, the looting,
00:55:35.000the loss of business, the loss of revenue, the property values destroyed, the neighborhoods forever altered, people killed, suicide, as well as the cities in the interior of the country that have been gutted by venture capital and gutted by other predatory practices by the government and business.
00:55:54.000And the opioid epidemic and the foreign wars and the porn and the media and all of it.
00:56:00.000And we're just supposed to take it while our betters, we're supposed to just sit there and take it while these brilliant Jews from Columbia, Harvard, and Yale tell us, us Americans, what the real way to victory is going to be.
00:56:16.000No, I thought a little bit of an uprising moment, whatever you want to call it.
00:56:22.000No, I think that was kind of awesome, actually.
00:56:25.000Well, what we really have to do is be smart and pander more to Hispanics and elect Glenn Youngkin and go to school board meetings and complain.
00:56:37.000Yeah, let's put on our mom jeans and go to the school board meeting and say, hey, and another thing, I don't like this critical race theory.
00:56:47.000Yeah, no, I'll take the shitting on the floor of the Capitol, actually, instead.
00:56:52.000I'll take these pigs getting smacked across the face by patriots instead, actually.
00:56:59.000Not that I'm encouraging it, not that I'm encouraging it, but yeah, I mean, which one do you think is more of a fitting response to decades of oppression?
00:57:10.000Yeah, we're supposed to play by these rules that nobody else has to play by, right?
00:57:16.000We're supposed to play by the rules that nobody else has to respect.
01:03:45.000I mean, they tried to undermine his base of support because any man that can command the allegiance of tens of millions of people is a threat to their rule if he's not under their control.
01:04:16.000He could go into the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I would still vote for him.
01:04:20.000And that scares them because they rely, their primary tools, they rely on character assassination and scandal and rumors and the media and all this.
01:04:32.000And here's a guy that the first thing he did was say, you know what, the media is all fake.
01:05:00.000And once he won in 2016, they put together this regime to thwart him from making the change he promised and prevent him from holding office for another four years.
01:05:11.000So they began the social media censorship and the impeachment, all that.
01:05:17.000They tried to convince people that the Trump election didn't even happen in the first place.
01:05:21.000They said, oh, Well, the only reason he won is because he cheated with Russia or he lost the popular vote.
01:05:27.000You know, they undermine his credibility.
01:05:52.000You don't have a monopoly on the truth or morality or anything.
01:05:55.000Actually, You know, when they used to say this thing like alternative facts and post truth and all that, it's like, yeah, now we get to decide for ourselves.
01:07:32.000January 6th was like Pearl Harbor and 9 11 in the sense that these were two artificial catastrophes which the government had.
01:07:42.000Prior knowledge of or was involved in.
01:07:45.000Yeah, so Pearl Harbor, 9 11, and the 6 are all very similar because they were most likely either allowed to happen by the feds who knew about them in advance or the feds instigated and caused them in the first place.
01:07:59.000So, yes, there are similarities, but it is on that level of consequence and you have to think about it.
01:08:08.000It wasn't just a riot, it was not just a riot.
01:08:11.000It was a president, the sitting president, Leading an army of his supporters in the capital of America, saying that the elections are illegitimate.
01:08:59.000And understand the basis of sovereignty in America.
01:09:02.000The basis of sovereignty in America is this we have a declaration of independence, you know, we the people, government of, by, and for the people, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, all that.
01:09:16.000The idea of the republic is that the people create a government.
01:09:23.000And they confer on the government power.
01:09:30.000This is the Republican idea of sovereignty.
01:09:33.000Sovereignty means, and it's kind of a complicated political science term, but sovereignty basically means who has the right to rule in a sense, who's the sort of rightful ruler.
01:09:43.000The sovereign is that institution or that person that within them is the legitimate right.
01:09:54.000To rule and make decisions for the land.
01:09:57.000So, you know, you would say the sovereign of Great Britain or the UK is the queen, the monarch.
01:10:06.000She wields sovereignty, and the people are subjects.
01:10:11.000And, well, that's actually not so true in the UK because they have a little bit of it, you know, they believe in like the rule of law and stuff like that.
01:10:17.000But in like Russia, Russia would be a better example.
01:10:23.000The sovereign of the nation state gets to decide what goes on within its borders.
01:10:29.000And ultimately, what has to do with it, Carl Schmidt writes that sovereignty has to do with the ability to declare war, the ability to command people to fight and die in wars, and to delineate who is with us and who is them.
01:10:43.000Anyway, without getting too into the weeds, our Republican idea of sovereignty is that we, the people, rule America.
01:10:50.000It's our country, and any ruler that goes over us has to have our consent.
01:11:09.000That's why they call them reserved versus delegated powers.
01:11:13.000The Constitution delegates powers to the federal government.
01:11:17.000The Constitution creates the federal government and delegates powers to the federal government.
01:11:24.000So, this is how the sovereignty is transferred.
01:11:27.000The people have the sovereignty, the people elect through a democratic process a representative to represent their interests.
01:11:37.000And them, in lieu of them, the representatives draft, sign, ratify the Constitution.
01:11:44.000It is this document, the law, which creates the government and delegates its powers.
01:11:51.000And so the federal government's authority and its powers are not from itself, they're not within the government itself.
01:12:01.000The government's authority and legitimacy to rule does not come from itself.
01:12:08.000Congress doesn't get to make laws because it's Congress and Congress rules.
01:12:12.000Congress has delegated powers that come from the Constitution, which was ratified 300 years ago, or give or take, by the representatives of the founding people, the founding stock.
01:12:26.000And so, you know, this is an ongoing process.
01:12:30.000You know, so you've got your regular laws and then you've got the Constitution.
01:12:34.000Well, when we elect the president, we're engaging in a constitutional process.
01:12:38.000When we elect representatives and we Elect lawmakers, it's this living process of the people transferring their sovereignty, sort of conferring sovereignty upon the government through the intermediary of the Constitution and these elected representatives.
01:12:59.000So when Trump goes forward and says, well, the election was rigged, it thwarts this whole process.
01:13:09.000Because when Trump says, oh, well, the elections are rigged, well, that means the elected officials are illegitimate.
01:13:14.000If the elected officials are illegitimate, that means the authority of the government is illegitimate.
01:13:21.000It means that the government has no right to rule.
01:13:24.000It means that if Biden is inaugurated on January 20th and Trump says the election's rigged and people believe that, that means that his authority is not perceived as legitimate because it does not come from the Constitution, it does not come from the people.
01:13:39.000So they look at this guy and they say, This is a usurper.
01:13:47.000He may enforce the laws, and we may have to obey them because they'll threaten to shoot us otherwise.
01:13:52.000But we don't think he has the right to rule.
01:13:54.000We don't believe he's the rightful sovereign or acting as a sovereign.
01:14:00.000And so that is what scares them more than anything.
01:14:03.000Because if Trump goes forward and says, I don't concede, and this election is rigged, and there's 80 to 90% of the Republican Party behind him, well, the government has a problem.
01:14:15.000Because now, You know, 80 to 90% of the Republican Party is something like 20 to 30% of the American population.
01:14:23.000So if Trump takes us all the way, and if this persists, then 20 to 30% of the population believes the government's not legitimate.
01:14:31.000And if the government isn't legitimate, the only way that they're able to rule is with force.
01:14:39.000The only thing that their authority rests on is their ability to coerce people with the threat of violence.
01:14:46.000People are not going to obey the laws.
01:14:48.000And participate in the process and give fealty to the government because they think that the government rightfully is ruling, but under the constant and ever present threat, potentially, of violence from the state, which they could not outmatch.
01:15:07.000The problem is that the government cannot keep 30% of the population under its control by force.
01:15:15.000That would mean that the government, you know, if states, And if municipalities and sheriffs started to say, I don't recognize the government, I don't recognize the government, could the American military mobilize within America and force them to obey the government?
01:15:33.000And there's a lot of people in the military who would be sympathetic.
01:15:36.000And this theory is given credence by the fact that the first thing that the Biden administration did after the 6th was what?
01:15:44.000They rooted out anybody sympathetic to Trump, anybody that supports Trump, anybody that's a so called white nationalist, and kicked them out because they know this.
01:20:38.000It's like, Ray Epps, who fucking cares?
01:20:41.000You know, like, sorry, sorry, but it's like, I don't mean to say that to be disrespectful to the people that are doing great journalism on this because they're amazing and I respect them immensely.
01:20:52.000Darren Beatty at Revolver, everyone at Revolver, Tucker.
01:23:03.000Rather than it being some, like, lame, like, flimsy, oh, the feds did this, it's like, no, that should be the, the, The fulfillment of the Trump revolution.
01:23:33.000Because, and let me just ask you this how many boomers have you seen online, and how many boomers do you know that talk about stuff like that?
01:23:41.000How many, like, goofy, QAnon, whatever boomers do you see out there saying stuff like, we need to hang all these guys.
01:24:19.000So it's really six of one or half and a dozen of the other.
01:24:24.000Was Ray Epps one of the feds that was at the Capitol, or is he one of the psycho boomers that had a t shirt that said something like, you know, I don't know, some pun about Joe Biden or something?
01:26:10.000So, you know, I recognize from a legal point of view, you don't want to go out and say what I'm saying right now because the law enforcement is paying a lot of attention right now.
01:26:18.000But by the same token, it's just not the truth.
01:26:23.000It's just not the truth to say that the most compelling story that we could tell about the Sixth is that, oh, the Dems are trying to get us again.
01:27:03.000Not for nothing, but these politicians visiting the prisons and talking about the solitary confinement, a lot of them.
01:27:12.000You know, if the people that were in those prisons and inside the Capitol, if they just spent like 20 minutes telling these politicians about their real views, these politicians would slink away and say, Yeah, I don't want to talk about that.
01:27:43.000If one of the people in those prisons talked to Ted Cruz, that Ted Cruz would do a public press conference with someone like that, or I think after 10 or 15 or 20 minutes, somebody who was in one of those jails would say what they really think, and Ted Cruz would treat that person like they were radioactive because of what they were saying.
01:28:04.000And that goes for a lot of these politicians.
01:28:07.000You know, Baked Alaska, he filmed the video with Ray Epps.
01:28:50.000I imagine that a lot of people that were in the Capitol and in the prisons and all that, they probably agreed a lot with me in baked Alaska.
01:28:58.000But, you know, all these politicians wave the bloody shirt of all the people in the Capitol and they hate them.
01:29:06.000And if they punched a cop, they would easily condemn them too and call them terrorists like Ted Cruz did and say they should be arrested and charged and blah, blah, blah.
01:29:52.000You know, they talk about the American Revolution.
01:29:57.000It's like the American Revolution was a war.
01:29:59.000You know, the American Revolution started with subterfuge and guerrilla warfare and violence.
01:30:04.000And again, it's not to condone violence, but it is to say, like, we need to have a little bit more of a stomach for the kinds of things that are going to happen in this struggle.
01:32:13.000And anyway, to get back to the point I was making a moment ago.
01:32:17.000So, for all those reasons, it was an event with great magnitude, like 9 11, like Pearl Harbor.
01:32:24.000Not because it was a tragedy or because of the body count or what ensued.
01:32:30.000There are parallels in some ways, but it was a moment of great significance because it's unprecedented.
01:32:37.000Something like that has never happened since the Civil War.
01:32:41.000That a sitting president would challenge the claims of the election, draw out this cult following to D.C., and then this riot would happen.
01:32:51.000The events of the past five years are absolutely nuts.
01:32:55.000And we should memorialize them and not be ashamed of them and try and move on and get on to some normal Republican who's going to win suburban moms or something.
01:33:15.000How about a politician who's going to inspire young white men and unlock the genius, the genius, untapped potential of a generation of lost young white men without fathers, without role models, without structure?
01:35:14.000No, we didn't make America great again.
01:35:15.000We need, we need, we need, we need the American people to rise up.
01:35:23.000We need engineers and we need scientists and we need priests and we need doctors and we need programmers and we need artists and we need warriors.
01:35:36.000And we need leaders and officers, and that's what we need.
01:35:45.000We don't need gay bodybuilders kissing each other on some gay island, some floating sovereign island where some Jewish guy owns everything, which is what they want, led by some Straussian.
01:36:46.000And yeah, it's a lot of conflict on this issue.
01:36:51.000I know there's a lot of, you know, everybody's got an opinion on what went down, and there's these attempts to interpret and frame history and all of that.
01:42:59.000He doesn't take himself seriously enough to really try at what he's doing.
01:43:04.000He doesn't have enough respect for himself to respect his own endeavor and take pride in it.
01:43:12.000And maybe more than that, or less than that, I guess, but separately, just as a failure.
01:43:22.000But yeah, there's a lot of guys like that.
01:43:24.000Who I see online, and they're all, you know, they have a podcast or they're doing something creative, and they're like, they're just not serious about it.
01:43:39.000You're doing some goofy thing, which you don't take seriously, and you can't even pretend to take it seriously because it's not serious.
01:43:50.000But yeah, but the reason I, he was always, he always was tweeting about me, he was like obsessed with me, and he would be like, You know, talking with girls.
01:44:00.000Girls would complain about me, and then he would be replying to them, like, Yeah, he sucks.
01:46:55.000But I know these young people, people younger than me or my age, and they're just like, and I'm like, you know.
01:47:04.000And I'm always walking around like with this fire, and other people are walking around just like, you know, kicking their feet, and they're like, hmm, la la la.
01:50:10.000Big Globe says I was recently given a giant flat screen TV, and usually I watch AF on my phone, but I decided to put AF on my TV, and it was like you were literally in my living room.
01:51:37.000Well, maybe we'll catch him in another 20 years.
01:51:43.000I mean, if the guy, you know, he slanders me for 45 minutes when I'm not there, he won't engage with me online, he won't engage with me in person.
01:51:53.000We happen to run into each other by coincidence.
01:54:00.000Sean says, Did you hear about the Jewish Turning Point ambassador who got fired for hosting a degenerate party after a Groyper posted a video?
01:54:14.000I saw the Groyper video and I thought it was kind of funny.
01:54:19.000You know, I don't know what it is about those guys because he, I think, knows that CWC guy and that other one.
01:54:28.000I don't know what it is with them in these corny intros.
01:54:30.000You know, like that guy, Nick Torres, who I met and he's a nice enough guy.
01:54:37.000But he, for those of you that don't know, it's like this Nick guy, CWC, this other guy in Phoenix, this guy with the mustache who did the expose.
01:54:47.000I think they're all in the same circles or something.
01:54:50.000They're definitely out doing something similar.
01:54:53.000Because Nick Torres, he was running for office in Orange County.
01:56:08.000So, some constructive criticism there.
01:56:10.000Nice guy, but I don't know what that's all about.
01:56:12.000This is your Monday morning quarterback.
01:56:15.000They all start out the same way Monday morning quarterback.
01:56:19.000And then, so this guy, so they reminded me of that because this guy, at the Turning Point America Fest event in Phoenix in December, there was this party that was hosted by Lance Videos and Joe Basraoui, who are Turning Point influencers.
01:56:42.000And apparently, there were all these problems, which I never heard about before.
01:56:45.000Apparently, there was underage drinking, and there were like slutty girls dancing in cages and on stage, and like they oversold the venue, and like 500 people couldn't even get in and bought tickets and just went home.
01:57:00.000There were all these problems, and that's really neither here nor there.
01:57:06.000This guy makes this Groyper in an America First hat with a mustache.
01:57:10.000He makes this video on Instagram exposing what went on.
01:57:13.000It's actually a really well made video.
02:04:27.000Now, that entails a much more difficult life because I don't know how the regulations work in Canada if you're able to get a job or go out to eat and things like that without a vax, but.
02:04:39.000Yeah, I mean, I've been encouraging people if you have to, get fired, get expelled, don't go to college, figure it out.
02:04:46.000But I don't know what advice I could give you other than that.
02:04:50.000I mean, it's a pretty binary decision.
02:04:52.000You either get the vaccine, go to college, or you don't, and you don't.
02:06:05.000MacMan says, Is there a cooler phrase we can use for this other than happy anniversary?
02:06:10.000I felt kind of awkward and weird saying it at work today.
02:06:14.000I don't know, just happy 1 6, like happy 4th of July, happy 6th of January, or something.
02:06:21.000Optics Zoomer says, Can you elaborate specifically on the statistical mathematical impossibility of the 2020 election, like if it was observed in 2016 and where to find more information about it?
02:06:35.000You know who did the statistical analysis was Matt Brainerd.
02:06:43.000And there's a variety of things that they did.
02:06:46.000I mean, for starters, there were parts of Milwaukee where more than 100% of the population in certain They had votes for more than 100% of the people that lived in the wards in the city, in certain parts of it.
02:07:04.000In more than 90 wards in Milwaukee, they had more than 90% turnout.
02:09:16.000Bloopy Bloiper says not only is it pushing people to their limits, it shows what people are willing to do for a leader, what people will do in support of someone they believe in.
02:11:11.000Kyle says, I've been putting a lot of time into Ray Epps and I never thought about how they could use this to force us away from the rage and patriotism that existed on that day.
02:11:20.000So thank you for putting it in perspective.
02:11:25.000I 100% believe it's legit, but I just don't love the narrative.
02:11:33.000And I think it's a weak pivot, in my opinion.
02:11:35.000It's something that people should talk about, but I think people should also say it was cool.
02:11:40.000VMI says I wasted over a decade of my life serving the machine in its pointless and illegal wars, but I can say with pride that it was an honor for my dad and I to have been part of all three Stop the Steal rallies in D.C. Participating in the rallies was the only true service I've done for the nation.
02:14:34.000They're waiting to see if we will rise to the occasion and if we will show the whole world that America is still free and independent and strong.
02:17:28.000I mean, I don't know anyone else who's saying this.
02:17:32.000Chris says, Do you think it would be beneficial as a Christian American Middle Easterner to run for office and openly go after the white male vote?
02:20:46.000Well, if you're a good graphical artist, then you can join our intern team, or you can make fan art, propaganda, things like that.
02:20:56.000But we need people to make propaganda, so.
02:20:59.000Maybe we'll do another round of internship applications if people are interested.
02:21:04.000Justin Times says if Trump went out and said, we need reinforcements at the Capitol, me and my dozen friends would have instantly dropped what we were doing and drove there.
02:21:15.000If Trump said something like, don't leave the Capitol, I'm going there, and I'm calling on all my supporters to defend democracy, I mean, let's game that out.
02:21:26.000You know that at least a million people.
02:21:30.000Would hear that on the radio or on their phone and turn their car around and head to Washington, D.C.
02:21:36.000And it's like, yeah, what would happen?
02:21:39.000No one knows, but it's kind of interesting to think about.
02:25:27.000Mendy says, I appreciate your thoughts, Nick, but I'm going to have to get the vax because I feel like if I get jabbed, nothing will happen to me.
