00:43:19.000Very excited to be back with you here tonight on Wednesday.
00:43:23.000And we've got a lot to talk about, lots to get into this evening.
00:43:28.000We are continuing our coverage of the George Floyd crisis in America.
00:43:34.000Monday, we talked about the whole situation with the riots and with the initial police incident.
00:43:42.000Yesterday, we talked about legislation proposed by the Democrats and an executive order.
00:43:47.000Which is being drafted by the president.
00:43:49.000And today we are talking about the Confederate monuments.
00:43:54.000Confederate monuments and names, which you might have seen this on Twitter or in the news.
00:43:59.000It's really a problem which is all across the board when it comes to American heritage.
00:44:05.000Statues of Christopher Columbus are coming down, statues of Confederate generals are coming down.
00:44:12.000And the big news today is that the president has rejected a call from liberals and from Black Lives Matter to rename.
00:44:20.000US military bases that are named after Confederate generals.
00:44:24.000So, tonight I want to talk about and go over everything that's happening in the country, a real thorough examination of what is happening culturally as a result of the George Floyd protests and Black Lives Matter.
00:44:38.000We've been talking a lot about the riots and the destruction to property and the damage to businesses or changes in legislation, but tonight we're going to be talking about the cultural transformation that's taking place as a result of the protests.
00:44:53.000So that's going to be our main story, and I'll give you my takeaway, my conclusions about all this.
00:45:26.000About a new proposal in Kentucky by the governor of Kentucky to give all black people in the state free health care.
00:45:37.000So, you know, if it wasn't enough, like we talked about yesterday, the $10 trillion that has been given to Black Lives Matter by Bank of America and NBC and Nike, and actually, I don't know if NBC gave any money, but I mean, you get the picture.
00:45:54.000If it wasn't enough that there were all these private donations as it is, To the how many different equity funds and equality and Black Lives Matter organizations.
00:46:05.000Now, the state of Kentucky is going to give every single 100% of the black population free health insurance.
00:46:13.000So, talk about that proposal, what's in it, what that's all about.
00:46:17.000I'm a little surprised that it happened in Kentucky.
00:46:20.000I know they've got a Democratic governor, but you would expect that even in the southern states or more conservative states, that even when they get a Democratic governor or senator or congressman, That at the bare minimum, they're going to be a little bit more conservative than your average Democrat.
00:46:47.000This cultural stuff is stuff that I've been talking about for years, particularly the renaming of buildings and monuments and holidays and military bases and the destruction or removal of statues and plaques and things like that.
00:47:03.000We've been talking about the significance of that on this show for years.
00:47:07.000And I, of course, have a bit of a special insight.
00:47:10.000It's part of my origin story because I, of course, was at Charlottesville.
00:47:15.000And it's very interesting to see that everybody three years ago that was against Charlottesville now seems to curiously be okay with the erasure of the traditional American nation.
00:47:28.000Its heritage, its culture, its holidays, heroes, myths, customs, and so on.
00:47:42.000I was there then, and I'm here now, and I'm saying the same thing.
00:47:46.000We want to keep America the way that it is.
00:47:50.000And one of the angles that I want to talk about tonight, specifically on this issue, is conservative ink and mainstream conservatives.
00:47:57.000Because what's fascinating about this issue is that I believe across the board, what makes you a conservative is your proclivity or your opinions to keep these statues and these names and these memorials standing.
00:48:14.000I think that that may be one of the only defining things that makes you a conservative.
00:48:19.000I mean, what does it mean to be a conservative?
00:48:23.000And if you're not conserving the country's culture, if you're not conserving the country's memorials, its heritage, even its history, you cannot call yourself a conservative.
00:48:35.000And, you know, like I said, the dimension I want to get into tonight is that a lot of these mainstream conservatives have basically outed themselves for all to see as cultural leftists, if they haven't already.
00:48:47.000Because when a lot of these people see the statues going down or the names being changed or so on, they cheer it on alongside the left.
00:48:56.000They only say that in actuality, the Confederates and the evil people in our history were just Democrats.
00:49:04.000So they're in favor of the destruction of our culture for partisan or ideological reasons.
00:49:26.000That's why I may be a minute late because I was just scarfing down a giant meal.
00:49:32.000So my apologies if I'm burping a little bit.
00:49:35.000If I'm a little bit, there's a little bit of gas, right?
00:49:39.000Is it gas when you burp or is it only gas when it comes out the other end?
00:49:42.000Anyway, so that's going to be our show.
00:49:45.000But before we dive into that, there is one thing I wanted to talk about.
00:49:48.000I think everybody's seen this on Twitter and it's epic Ice Cube.
00:49:53.000The rapper has been going off on the timeline today and yesterday, and he's been posting pictures and memes from the black Israelites.
00:50:04.000I'm not a supporter of the black Israelites, I think they're pretty cringe in a lot of ways.
00:50:10.000Some people think they're based for certain reasons, but they're also very anti white.
00:50:15.000But Ice Cube has been posting to his millions of followers on Twitter all these memes about the black cube, and about Saturn, and about the Star of David, and about Jewish power and a lot of these things.
00:50:29.000And I'm sure probably many of you have seen it on Twitter.
00:50:34.000And to me, I see things like that and I kind of roll my eyes and it's fun and it's silly and, you know, it's fun to meme about those kinds of things.
00:50:45.000And on some level, maybe it's good that Ice Cube is posting these memes and maybe there's an awakening.
00:50:50.000You know, maybe for some people, they're seeing this stuff and they're doing the Google searches and they're finding out.
00:50:58.000But largely, I see Ice Cube posting this stuff, and I roll my eyes and I say, whatever, it's stupid, whatever.
00:51:06.000But the reason why I want to talk about it a little bit tonight is because Ben Shapiro has taken umbrage, has taken offense to all of this, which I was a little surprised at because you see this pretty often, I think, on Twitter.
00:51:20.000You see these, usually it's like black celebrities, but sometimes it's even white celebrities or famous people.
00:51:28.000Sometimes they engage with Conspiracy theories.
00:51:31.000Sometimes they engage with esoteric ideas or sometimes right wing ideas.
00:51:36.000You know, Kanye West, for example, becoming Christian, or Kanye West even talking about China and their colonial ambitions in Africa.
00:51:45.000Kanye talking about like how the shuttle crash wasn't real and things like that.
00:51:51.000But what makes this a little bit different is that Ben Shapiro replies to this tweet and he's calling all of this stuff, all this propaganda, these memes from Ice Cube, anti Semitic.
00:52:03.000And that to me was hilarious to see Ben Shapiro.
00:52:05.000He went off on a show today and he went off on Twitter saying, Ice Cube is being anti Semitic.
00:52:15.000And even more than that, and this was what was really shocking to me, is I saw Ben Shapiro outrage and I thought that was pretty funny.
00:52:22.000But then the other thing that I noticed is that if you go to Ice Cube's Wikipedia page, they've updated his page to call him in the first paragraph, in the short summary at the top of the page, to say, Who is this person?
00:53:10.000And even he posts memes, which I think a lot of people see as unserious or silly.
00:53:17.000I don't think he's joking, but nevertheless, people might see them as out there, maybe weird, bizarre.
00:53:23.000But yet they're drawing condemnation from high level Jews in the country, even to the extent that they will update his Wikipedia page to say that he is an anti Semitic conspiracy theorist.
00:53:46.000And because he posts a few pictures that some people don't like on Twitter.com, now, according to his Wikipedia page, he's an anti Semitic conspiracy theorist.
00:53:59.000And I see that, and to me, that says it all, and it should say it all for everybody that doesn't know what's going on.
00:54:06.000Doesn't it seem a little bit weird that Ice Cube would post memes about the Black Cube, about the Star of David, about aliens and Egyptians and this kind of stuff?
00:54:20.000And people like Ben Shapiro and ADL and SPLC and other assorted characters from the Jewish community get so upset that they go in and edit his Wikipedia page.
00:54:30.000Not only do they do that, but they can do that.
00:54:34.000Doesn't that find, doesn't anybody find that a little bit strange?
00:55:30.000And we talk about Kabbalah and some of these things, some of these esoteric theories.
00:55:36.000And I just find it very telling that there is such a strong and quick reaction from certain elements.
00:55:44.000I think it says a lot about what's happening in the country.
00:55:46.000So, like I said, I don't want to talk too much about that because it is kind of silly and not totally newsworthy, but you just have to ask yourself what does Ben Shapiro have to hide?
00:56:07.000But to any average person, to any normal person, they would look at that and say, oh, crazy, silly, fun, you know, whatever.
00:56:16.000And it gets back to something I think I've been talking about for the past few weeks.
00:56:20.000I think I've said this at various points over the past few months, which is to say that the only people that really know what's going on is us and the other side.
00:57:23.000They might engage in these struggles, engage in these battles, but they really don't know what they're about.
00:57:28.000They really don't see what's happening in front of them.
00:57:31.000I think about Charlie Kirk or Chunk Uyghur or, you know, this big collective in the middle.
00:57:37.000Of the uninitiated who don't really know.
00:57:41.000And the only two sides in everything that goes on in this country that really know what's up it's us and it's these transnational, rootless, globalist, vampiric types.
00:57:54.000So I just find that very funny when I see something like this with Ice Cube.
00:57:58.000A lot of normies might be saying what I've just said.
00:58:44.000It also is kind of coincidental that his name is Ice Cube and he posts the black cube inside the star.
00:58:51.000But like I said, we're going to dive into what's happening in Kentucky, and I'll read you this is a report from The Hill about what's going on about summarizing this new program.
00:59:02.000Like I said at the top of the show, the governor Bashir of Kentucky has announced that the state of Kentucky is now going to give free health insurance to all the black people in the state of Kentucky.
00:59:18.000They'll either be giving them Medicaid or setting them up with private insurers.
00:59:25.000It says, quote, Governor Andy Bashir on Monday announced the state will begin working towards correcting inequalities in health care coverage across the state.
00:59:34.000During his daily updates in Frankfurt in the last three months, Bashir has given a breakdown of the racial makeup of the state's coronavirus cases.
00:59:42.000Throughout the crisis, cases involving black patients have outpaced the state's black population.
00:59:48.000The governor said, quote, we are going to begin an effort to cover 100% of our individuals in our black and African American communities.
00:59:57.000We're going to be putting dollars behind it.
01:00:00.000Bashir also announced plans to introduce a new online training program for law enforcement officers in light of both local and national unrest following a series of deaths of unarmed black people at the hands of police officers.
01:00:13.000The program will focus on implicit bias, use of force, civil rights laws, community relationships, and other topics.
01:00:22.000This is in Kentucky, not California, not New York, not Massachusetts.
01:00:28.000And the new program is going to Seek to ensure 100% of black people in the state of Kentucky.
01:00:34.000And this is more to what I've been saying essentially for the past two days, which is the end game of all of this is takeover.
01:00:44.000You know, when they talk about Black Lives Matter and they talk about I can't breathe and white silence is violence, this is all a giant show.
01:00:57.000And people that read into it at a surface level, people that are looking at this and taking it at face value, It's like when a little kid cries and throws a temper tantrum, and you sort of buy into what a little child says.
01:01:13.000And much like a little child, these are people that will say and do and create any kind of rhetoric necessary to get what they want.
01:01:21.000And when we look at Black Lives Matter, or even just blacks generally in this country, or Democrats, whoever you want to say, the end game is taking your money and giving it to themselves.
01:01:36.000And that goes for blacks, and that goes for liberals, and that goes for all of these people that are in support of this.
01:01:43.000This is what it amounts to a giant shakedown.
01:01:47.000What does health insurance have to do with police brutality?
01:01:52.000Because, arguably, and again, nominally, in name only, these demonstrations have been about George Floyd.
01:02:00.000Allegedly, these demonstrations, the rioting, the looting, even the some peaceful protests, have been about George Floyd, somebody who, again, allegedly, Died from police brutality.
01:02:12.000Even though he was a criminal, even though he was committing a crime, even though he was resisting arrest, the complaint, the injustice that everybody is up in arms about is the fact that a police officer used excessive force against a black man.
01:02:27.000So, why then are we giving free insurance to black people in the state of Kentucky?
01:02:32.000Why then is Bank of America giving $1 billion to Black Lives Matter?
01:02:39.000Why then are they talking about defunding the police and taking that money and investing it in?
01:02:44.000Free money and social programs for black people.
01:02:47.000What does any of that have to do with police brutality?
01:02:51.000It has nothing to do with police brutality.
01:02:55.000And everything that they're arguing, even about cops, isn't true.
01:02:59.000But if it was, these are not solutions for those problems.
01:03:03.000What things like George Floyd and Trayvon Martin and even slavery, Jim Crow, the constant agitation and propagandizing about those things is not supposed to correct any real problem.
01:03:17.000It's not supposed to even diagnose a real problem.
01:03:21.000The point is to make white people feel bad.
01:03:25.000The point is to create a political impetus so that they can loot the coffers of the government and take over the country.
01:03:35.000We're going to get into the next part of that with the cultural takeover, with the statues and monuments and names and so on.
01:03:41.000But I look at what's happening with health care and I think to myself, well, if blacks aren't insured and if they don't have health care, who's going to pay for it?
01:03:52.000Well, necessarily, if the black people that don't have health care, Because they can't afford it, they are getting free health care from the government.
01:04:02.000Well, the government doesn't have any money itself, it has to tax people.
01:04:07.000So, where's the government getting the money to pay for the black people's health insurance?
01:04:12.000Right, they're getting it from the white people.
01:04:16.000And what do you think reparations are that they're demanding?
01:04:19.000That is one of the chief demands of Black Lives Matter reparations.
01:04:23.000Where would the reparations come from?
01:04:26.000Blacks cannot pay for their own reparations.
01:04:29.000And I don't think it would be reasonable to say that Hispanics or Asians would pay for them either.
01:04:33.000The reparations will come from the white people.
01:04:36.000And when you look at all these threads on Twitter and all these posts on Instagram demanding that white people show that they're not complicit in racism, that they have to be anti racist, what's the call to action?
01:04:49.000Give more money to Black Lives Matter.
01:04:52.000You white people, put your money where your mouth is.
01:04:55.000Give money to black creators, black businesses, Black Lives Matter, black people.
01:05:41.000This is what I've been trying to get at for so many years, in which I think a lot of people are starting to wake up to.
01:05:47.000We had an inflection point maybe 60 years ago in world history, in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
01:05:55.000And a lot of people think that that event, people think that that time period was about de escalating racism or de escalating white supremacy, pausing, stopping, halting.
01:06:08.000Ceasing colonialism, abuse of black people by white people.
01:06:15.000We are not in the process of impeding white supremacy.
01:06:19.000We're in the process of reversing white supremacy.
01:06:24.000We didn't hit the brakes, we put it in reverse and we went in the other direction, which is to say that instead of no domination and no colonialism and no conquest and no hatred and bigotry, instead it's rather than having whites doing this to non whites, we're going to have non whites now doing it to whites.
01:06:43.000So instead of saying, well, now that the colonialism is over and now that the Jim Crow laws have been repealed and now that racism has been eradicated, we're going to live in harmony.
01:07:23.000Because it's hard for me to read into these dramatic changes or demands anything other than that.
01:07:30.000What does giving free health insurance to all the blacks in Kentucky have to do with George Floyd taking fentanyl, using counterfeit money, and then dying in an altercation with police?
01:07:43.000And that also, by the way, has nothing to do with any of the other black people in this country or any of the other so called structural inequalities or wealth gaps or anything like that.
01:08:06.000And it's just like we talked about on Monday.
01:08:09.000There is no systemic racism in this country against black people.
01:08:13.000There are no systemic inequalities or disadvantages in this country against non white people.
01:08:20.000The only systemic disadvantages in this country are for white people.
01:08:25.000It's the only variety that you'll find.
01:08:29.000What do you call this other than a systemic advantage?
01:08:33.000You're black, and the governor is promising that he'll insure you.
01:08:37.000Personally, and the government's going to pay for it.
01:08:40.000What else do you call that other than a systemic advantage?
01:08:44.000And think about even things like affirmative action, which we've discussed.
01:08:48.000When a university, a business, the government says, insofar as you're black, we will hire you over an equally or more qualified white candidate, that is a systemic advantage.
01:09:00.000And think about what it would be like to be a black person.
01:09:26.000Are we seriously going to pretend like these people that are looting, literally looting, looting the stores, breaking the windows and taking things?
01:09:34.000You know, forget the free health care.
01:11:27.000I don't live in Chicago, but I live in Cook County, Illinois.
01:11:31.000And in this state and in this county and in the city 20 minutes east, the tax burden is exorbitant.
01:11:38.000And where do you think it all goes to?
01:11:40.000Where do you think all this money, a lot of that money, is going to?
01:11:45.000What do you call that other than a reparation, other than redistribution?
01:11:50.000And this is the big problem, by the way, with multiracialism.
01:11:53.000This is the big problem when we have distinct and separate and self interested tribes living together in the same country.
01:12:01.000This is invariably the problem that you run into, which is to say that when all the people are living together under one government, different tribes, different peoples, and they identify that way and they are distinct and searching for their own advantage, there will be tallying.
01:12:18.000People will take notice of who's drawing the short end of the stick.
01:12:24.000You know, all these different groups are looking over and they're trying to see who's getting what, which schools are getting funded, who's getting these benefits, who's paying the most, and so on.
01:12:35.000That's one of the major destabilizing forces when you have a country with all this ethnic and racial diversity, which is to say that these people are not on the same page.
01:13:07.000And what's happening in Kentucky is just one element of that this economic element, which is probably the least pressing and the least concerning to me because money is just money.
01:13:44.000And there were obviously other tragedies.
01:13:45.000But the point being is that when we're looking at reparations or free health care, this to me is something which is a big deal and it's indicative of what's going on, but it is not our number one priority.
01:13:57.000To me, my much bigger concern is the next part of the show.
01:14:01.000And our featured story, which is the Confederate monuments, the Confederate names of military bases, the statues of Christopher Columbus.
01:14:10.000And so, concurrently with everything that we've been seeing over the last three weeks, which has been very visible in the news, and that's the looting, the arson, the violence, the protests, all of that, simultaneously, alongside all of this, you have had a sustained effort to accelerate the destruction of American culture.
01:14:31.000And that has come in the form of, as I said, Confederate monuments all across the country, memorials, plaques to Confederate generals or Confederate soldiers, statues of Christopher Columbus.
01:14:42.000And the latest demand that has been made is that the United States government should rename all of the U.S. military bases that bear the names of Confederate generals.
01:14:53.000Thankfully, the President, Donald Trump, has rejected these calls, and I'll read you an article about this.
01:15:01.000It says President Trump said Wednesday that he will not even consider renaming Army bases that were named for Confederate military leaders after top Pentagon officials indicated recently that they were open to the idea.
01:15:13.000In a series of tweets, Trump argued that the bases have become part of U.S. history and should not be tampered with.
01:15:20.000He tweeted, quote, These monumental and very powerful bases have become part of a great American heritage and a history of winning, victory, and freedom.
01:15:29.000He tweeted, adding that heroes who won two world wars were trained on the hallowed grounds of those bases.
01:15:35.000He said, Therefore, my administration will not even consider the renaming of these magnificent and fabled military installations.
01:15:43.000Trump's tweets came two days after an Army spokesman, Said Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy and Defense Secretary Mark Esper were open to renaming the bases.
01:15:54.000The authority for naming and renaming bases rests with the Army, but it's unlikely officials would proceed without Trump's approval.
01:16:01.000There are 10 bases around the country named for Confederate military officers, which include Fort Lee, Fort Hood, Fort Benning, Fort Gordon, Fort Bragg, Fort Polk, Fort Pickett, Fort AP Hill, Fort Rucker, and Camp Beauregard.
01:16:19.000The stance the Army announced Monday marked a reversal from as recently as February when the service told Task and Purpose that it had no plans to change the name of any base, including those named after Confederate military officers.
01:16:34.000The about face came amid nationwide protests over police brutality and racial injustice sparked by the death of George Floyd.
01:16:41.000Protesters and state governments have moved to bring down multiple Confederate statues and monuments since Floyd's death.
01:16:47.000And on Wednesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi reiterated her call for nearly a dozen Confederate statues.
01:16:53.000To be removed from the halls of Congress.
01:16:56.000And so I look at this initial call to change the names of these bases, and Nancy Pelosi calling for the monuments to be removed in the Capitol.
01:17:07.000And again, I'm thinking just like with healthcare, and this is something you have to ask yourself, and I think everybody should ask themselves what do the names of military bases have to do with George Floyd?
01:17:23.000What does that have to do with police brutality?
01:17:25.000What does it have to do with a chokehold?
01:17:28.000With the use of excessive force, it has nothing to do with that.
01:17:32.000And yet, this is one of the most pressing and highest priority demands of Black Lives Matter and of these protesters and everybody else involved.
01:17:41.000And you have to ask yourself if it's not then about George Floyd, if it has nothing to do with police brutality or crime or law enforcement, what does it have to do with?
01:17:52.000Why are they calling for these monuments to be removed?
01:17:56.000They say that they're calling for these monuments and for the names to be changed.
01:18:00.000For the monuments to be removed and for the names to be changed because they represent racism or something like that.
01:18:07.000But we know that these monuments and these names are part of our American history.
01:18:13.000And to me, this is really what it comes down to.
01:18:16.000This is really actually what it's about.
01:18:19.000It comes down to the question of what actually is America.
01:18:24.000Because in the statements by the army and military officials who said that they would be open to changing the names or open to taking down the statues or dishonoring the Confederate generals, they say that those Confederates were traitors, that they opposed.
01:18:40.000The American government, that they oppose the Constitution.
01:18:45.000And so they say that we should not respect, we should not honor, we should not memorialize these people because they betrayed the Constitution.
01:18:54.000But we have to ask ourselves what is America?
01:19:30.000Not the Americans at any given point, but the descendants of the Americans.
01:19:37.000That America is a collection of people that descend from the settlers initially back before the Constitution.
01:19:45.000Was even considered before the Revolution even happened, before the Declaration of Independence, that America is a people descended from settlers and pioneers and industrialists and soldiers and veterans and even Confederate soldiers and generals and others.
01:20:49.000A lot of people would argue that because Trayvon Martin and George Floyd are United States citizens and nominally Americans, that there are more Americans than the great heroes in American history.
01:21:04.000And I would say that's simply not true.
01:21:07.000And it's not true because being an American is more than the paperwork and the name and living on the land, it means something deeper.
01:21:15.000And it's not just the military bases, which I'm glad that those didn't get renamed.
01:21:20.000But that is only one part of a much broader cultural revolution that's accelerating because of the George Floyd protests.
01:21:27.000This is just a short list of some of the monuments which are already in the process of or have already been taken down because of the protests.
01:21:36.000In Louisville, Kentucky, the John Breckinridge Castleman Monument was removed on Monday, according to a statement by Mayor Greg Fisher.
01:21:45.000This is a report from Jacksonville, Florida.
01:21:48.000It says Cruz and Heming Park in downtown Jacksonville took down a 122 year old statue and plaque.
01:21:57.000During a peaceful protest on Tuesday on the steps of City Hall, Mayor Lenny Curry announced that all Confederate monuments citywide will be removed.
01:22:05.000That includes three monuments and eight historical markers.
01:22:09.000In Birmingham, Alabama, demonstrators at Lynn Park attempted to remove a 115 year old monument during a protest on May 31st.
01:22:17.000Mayor Randall Woodfinn arrived at the scene and told the demonstrators he would, quote, finish the job for them.
01:22:25.000About 54 miles west at the University of Alabama, the Board of Trustees and the university's president authorized the removal of three plaques on the campus that commemorate University of Alabama students who served in the Confederate Army.
01:22:38.000And members of the Student Cadet Corps involved in the defending of the campus.
01:22:43.000In Montgomery, Alabama, demonstrators tore down a statue of General Robert E. Lee that stood in front of Lee High School.
01:22:50.000In Mobile, Alabama, the city removed the statue of Confederate Admiral Raphael Semmes.
01:22:56.000In Alexandria, Virginia, crews in historic Old Town Alexandria removed a bronze statue of a Confederate soldier named Appomattox last Tuesday morning.
01:23:06.000The memorial was erected in 1889 to honor Confederate soldiers from the Virginia city.
01:23:12.000Alexandria Mayor Justin Wilson tweeted photos of the statue's removal, and he said that Alexandria, like all great cities, is constantly changing and evolving.
01:23:21.000And on top of that, to make matters better, statues even of Christopher Columbus were damaged in Minnesota, Boston, and Richmond, Virginia.
01:23:30.000Outside the state capitol in St. Paul, Minnesota, a 10 foot bronze sculpture of Columbus came toppling down on Wednesday afternoon after a group of protesters tied ropes around the statue's neck and yanked it down from its pedestal.
01:23:44.000The demonstrators kicked the head of the statue, which was dedicated in 1931, and danced around it.
01:23:51.000This is what's happening all across the country symbols, statues, holidays, memorials, plaques, names.
01:23:58.000They're all being changed or destroyed or removed or toppled by mobs, or in many cases by state and city governments.
01:24:07.000This is typically the behavior that you see during revolutions a change in a regime, a change in the guard.
01:24:15.000Typically, this also happens during a war to demoralize a people.
01:24:19.000An invading army will destroy their heritage.
01:24:22.000And this is the equivalent of what's happening in our own country.
01:24:26.000It's nothing short of the erasure of the traditional American nation.
01:24:31.000People that represent the best of America, people like Robert E. Lee, who was a great man and a great general, and who was loyal to his home.
01:24:40.000And I think at one point he even said that he disagreed with the cause of slavery, but he fought for his people in the South.
01:24:46.000These symbols, names, heroes that represent the best of America, what it means to be an American, are being destroyed and toppled and taken down by, honestly, frankly, people who represent the worst of what it means to be an American.
01:25:04.000Easily, when you look at some of these characters in St. Paul or elsewhere in the country, in Minneapolis.
01:25:10.000And what's fascinating to me is that a lot of people think that this is a left wing phenomenon, that these are left wing protesters or left wing governments taking these things down.
01:25:23.000But clearly, this is not the case because actually, a lot of conservatives agree with it.
01:25:29.000Politicians like Nikki Haley, pundits like Dinesh D'Souza, they say that it's actually right to vilify our ancestors.
01:25:37.000It's right, it's just to take down Confederate statues, to rename things that are named after Confederate generals or soldiers or other assorted bad characters, bad apples in American history.
01:25:52.000And what do you think the people in conservative ink and mainstream conservatism that want to go along with this, that see nothing wrong with this, people like Dinesh D'Souza and Nikki Haley or Ben Shapiro, what do they have in common with the protesters?
01:26:09.000What do they have in common with Black Lives Matter?
01:26:12.000What do they have in common with La Raza?
01:26:14.000What do they have in common with the Native Americans?
01:26:17.000What they have in common is that they are outsiders.
01:26:23.000If they are not real foreigners, you know, even if they have their piece of paper and they speak English and they watch Netflix and they believe in the Constitution, they are spiritual foreigners in these lands.
01:26:38.000Dinesh D'Souza himself is an immigrant.
01:26:41.000And he is one of the loudest voices in conservative ink, in mainstream conservatism.
01:26:47.000And he says that it's perfectly okay to villainize Robert E. Lee.
01:26:51.000It's perfectly okay to demonize the Confederates and a number of people in American history because they were Democrats, because they were socialists.
01:27:02.000He's coming at it from some kind of ideological plane.
01:27:07.000And that's because he has no connection to those people.
01:27:11.000To the story of America, no connection to the real fabric of Americans.
01:27:18.000And the same is true with Nikki Haley.
01:27:20.000I think it is not insignificant that Nikki Haley's real name is Nimrada.
01:27:27.000And maybe that has something to do with the fact why she sees the Confederate flag not as a symbol of heritage, but a symbol of racism against non whites.
01:27:36.000Maybe that's why some conservatives aren't losing any sleep or even upset about the destruction of our heritage, because it's not their heritage.
01:27:57.000That's America that's about equality, an America that's about tolerance, and a country that's about immigration and accepting differences and accepting the world's poor.
01:28:08.000The real America is a country that's about greatness, it's a country about being exceptional, a country that's about Jesus Christ and virtue, a country that came from English settlers.
01:28:21.000And so when I see this issue of statues and generals and monuments, you can tell very quickly who is with us and who is against us by what their take is on the statues, what their take is on the names, and all these different things.
01:28:34.000Do they see value in the heritage, in the culture, the historic American nation?
01:28:42.000Even if they weren't a part of it, even if maybe in some ideological way they don't agree with, do they see it as an expression of themselves, even if it's adopted, or do they not?
01:28:53.000Or are they completely apathetic or outright hostile to it?
01:29:25.000What they say they're about is police brutality and defunding police and so on.
01:29:30.000And if what they're saying is what they're about, then what does Christopher Columbus have to do with any of that?
01:29:35.000Christopher Columbus was an explorer from 500 years ago who discovered America.
01:29:42.000So, according to what they say they're about and what people are sympathizing with the protesters on the basis of, it has nothing to do with that.
01:29:49.000Even if I were to say, well, I believe that black people matter and I'm against people getting arbitrary killed by the police, what does that have to do with taking down a statue of Christopher Columbus?
01:29:58.000I'll tell you what it has to do with it has to do with the conquest of this nation from the inside by spiritual foreigners.
01:30:07.000What Christopher Columbus has in common with the Confederates and with Donald Trump and with the police and with everything else is that he is a part of the established traditional American nation, the established order of this country.
01:30:24.000And when these people go against the police and the laws in this country and the institutions of this country and the people that make the laws and the people that descend from the progenitors of this country, that is the common thread that unites their grievance.
01:30:39.000Against all these different people and things and places and names and so on.
01:30:50.000What they really care about is taking over the country.
01:30:53.000They want to erect new statues of people like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, George Floyd, and Trayvon Martin.
01:31:01.000And they want their streets named after Black Lives Matter, or Vladimir Lenin, or Nelson Mandela, or Barack Obama instead of the usual suspects.
01:31:36.000And a lot of people would like to lead you to believe, and some people say that this is a cultural revolution, but they'd like you to believe that this has something to do with.
01:32:58.000Do you support, defend, and want to preserve the traditional American nation, or are you part of the revolution, a new progressive, multiracial, black, revolutionary vision of America that started 60 years ago?
01:33:13.000And I can tell you that there are a lot of conservatives and Republicans that line up on the other side.
01:33:21.000They'll line up on the other side, and even if they're not as militant, even if they're not as irrational or as aggressive, they are complicit in it.
01:33:29.000And people like Nikki Haley and people like Dinesh D'Souza and Ben Shapiro come to mind.
01:33:35.000Ben Shapiro said at one point, I don't give a good damn about the browning of America.
01:33:40.000And what he was referring to is the fact that America will become less white over time due to mass immigration.
01:33:49.000He doesn't care that the racial demographics of this country are changing and changing in that specific way.
01:33:55.000When I look at what's happening in Minneapolis and I look at what's happening all across the country, Chicago and LA and New York, And DC and Seattle, I actually care a great deal about the Browning of America.
01:34:17.000And it specifically and especially matters to me when I see what this Browning entails, what these Browns are up to in all these different places.
01:34:28.000Is that a desirable change that we're going to see?
01:34:32.000I'll tell you, I saw a lot of protests in the places where the Browning of America is well underway.
01:34:38.000I saw a lot of rioting and a lot of looting.
01:34:41.000I did not see so much rioting and looting in the places where the Browning of America is not happening, like in Idaho or South Dakota or Wyoming or Montana, for that matter.
01:34:53.000That's what Black Lives Matter is about.
01:34:55.000That's what the whole agenda is about.
01:34:57.000This is what we've been fighting for years.
01:35:00.000And I think people are finally starting to wake up to the real conflict that we're engaged in.
01:35:05.000It is a real war for the future of America, whether or not it will be a Unbroken descendant and unbroken chain from the settlement of this country 400 years ago, or whether it is going to be a new country, a completely different country with a different standard of living and different expectations and different rules and different rulers and a different regime.
01:35:44.000And I saw some of them, but overall, overall, it was a demonstration by people that did not want to see our people replaced, our monuments, our heritage, and our culture destroyed, and our country taken over from the inside.
01:35:58.000I was actually somewhat prescient in some ways.
01:36:01.000Now, granted, I'm not going to be the great apologist for some of the things that were said, done, or the people that were there, but nevertheless, I think in some ways it explains maybe the whole character arc or the arc of this show and of myself.
01:36:16.000People that have been watching this show for a long time have been wise to this for a while.
01:36:19.000And now it's all finally coming to fruition.
01:36:26.000Some of them are, and they're coming to it slowly, but they're starting to realize.
01:36:29.000So that's what's happening with the statues.
01:36:32.000It's not going to last very much longer.
01:36:35.000You know that the minute a Democratic president gets into office, the military base names will change, the holidays change, the statues are gone, and it's over.
01:36:47.000And the bad news is that it doesn't stop with.
01:36:51.000These things that they're talking about now.
01:36:53.000You know, some conservatives say, well, we only are against Robert E. Lee, and we're only against the socialists or the racists or so on.
01:37:03.000And I've said this before, and I don't know why people don't realize this, but George Washington was a slave owner too.
01:37:09.000Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner as well.
01:37:12.000And so if you think it stops with Robert E. Lee and Christopher Columbus, you're wrong.
01:37:17.000They're not going to stop until the whole city of Washington, D.C., And all the statues and all the monuments and the holidays and everything has changed.
01:37:26.000It starts with these most extreme expressions, or maybe the most disagreeable to these groups.
01:37:42.000But I can tell you, it won't end with the Robert E. Lee statues.
01:37:45.000Watch, and you'll see in the next five to ten years, they'll be calling for Washington to go down, and they'll be calling for Lincoln, and they'll be calling for the whole thing to go down.
01:37:54.000And pretty soon, this will be a country that doesn't speak English.
01:37:57.000This will be a country with no constitution.
01:37:59.000With no discernible heritage, nothing older than 100 years old, and our country will be something entirely different.
01:38:05.000We'll have replaced it piece by piece until it's a completely different whole.
01:38:13.000They want to pick and choose, well, this part I like and this part I don't, and so on, not realizing that there's a systemic and sustained and totalizing effort underway to replace it all.
01:38:24.000So that's what's going on with the monuments, but we're going to move on.
01:38:27.000We're going to take a look at our super chats.
01:38:40.000If this were happening in any other country, those people would be shot.
01:38:44.000And I think that it is a more appropriate way to look at these things that memorials and statues should be protected with lethal force because they're not just statues.
01:38:54.000When people say it's just property, maybe that's true when you're looting a Wendy's, but that's not the case when you're talking about monuments.
01:39:01.000That's not the case when you're talking about statues or war memorials.
01:41:07.000Jordan B says, Do you think the time period we're entering will be more or less tumultuous than the 60s era?
01:41:13.000Whenever I try to talk, To normies about what's coming, they come back with the 60s had political violence and bombings, but past eras don't feel as stratified by race.
01:41:28.000You know, in the 1960s and 70s, that was relatively new, and most people were on the side of traditional America.
01:41:35.000You know, when you're looking at the demographics of the 60s and 70s, not just because they're white, but also because of people that lived through World War II and, you know, some of these great American struggles, it was a different demographic.
01:41:52.000So when people talk about the 60s and 70s and they talk about the tumults that happened then, I think that what we're going to see in this century will be worse.
01:43:10.000Pigorino says, crazy how NASCAR banned Confederate flags from their events when I could probably count on two hands how many liberals have actually gone to a race.
01:43:19.000Well, you understand it's not about that.
01:43:21.000It's not about whether or not it's going to appease the liberals at the races, it's whether or not they're going to appease the liberals on social media or probably the liberals that run the company or participate in the company.
01:43:36.000A lot of these conservative institutions think that by, you know, kowtowing to the left that they're going to save themselves, but they only alienate their own people.
01:45:17.000You know, the idea that these statues have any bearing on black people or flags, flying a Confederate flag, there are a lot of things that are offensive to me.
01:45:28.000And it should be taken down because it's objectively offensive to God as well.
01:45:32.000But, you know, to pretend that these flags, you know, or the MLK memorial, that if I walk past that, it ruins my day, that that's oppressing me, I mean, it's ridiculous.
01:45:44.000I don't want to see it, but that's an expression of my worldview and my value system.
01:45:48.000And that, you know, that betrays what it's really about.
01:45:55.000It's about the monuments and the names and all these different things reflecting the value system of the country, reflecting the values and the worldview of the country.
01:46:06.000I don't want the gay flags down because they make me so mad, and they do on some level, but I'm an adult.
01:46:13.000But the reason why I want to see them taken down or the MLK statue destroyed is because these things reflect an ideology and a tribe and a regime.
01:46:25.000That is hostile and opposed to my country.
01:47:07.000That's how I justify it to myself that when you're on that level and the, what would you even call it, the public outrage is so intense and so universal, I imagine that it's just the cost of doing business.
01:47:30.000And it is disappointing, but somebody like PewDiePie, I doubt he'd want to sacrifice his whole career, some Pyrrhic victory saying, Well, I didn't post anything for BLM.
01:47:40.000Because you know that he would get, I mean, he would get railed if he didn't say anything.
01:47:45.000Everybody's been bullied and pressured and everything into doing some form of activism or some form of political posting about this.
01:49:06.000Interdimensional Harmony says Millennial Matt spotted leading the Groypers to the Kentucky governor's mansion with signs demanding the reparations.
01:49:14.000Free healthcare for all trans black women.
01:49:20.000Made in America says, Damn, you probably saw it if you were on his wiki, but it now says that in 2015, Ice Cube allegedly asked his entourage to stomp on a rabbi.
01:52:21.000He says this has been set up for a while, but the mainstreaming of critical race theory and the normie consciousness in the space of a week is shocking to me.
01:52:29.000One of those weeks where decades happen.
01:52:34.000I mean, it went from like a pretty average, like, well, we all know the way things were, the status quo on racism, to everybody has moved into far left BLM, like Tumblr activist, like, race politics.
01:52:50.000In a matter of a week, you've got high schoolers, like high school normies, saying white silence is violence.
01:52:58.000It's not enough to be, you know, not racist.
01:53:01.000You have to be an anti racist, and you have to look at this literature and.
01:53:05.000You need to support black causes and black bodies and blah, blah, blah.
01:53:09.000It's incredible the extent to which the far left has just been, you know, that's now the left, and that's now even the people in the middle.
01:53:17.000People have totally moved on this issue.
01:55:36.000Well, you know, the reason why the rule of law is important is because, as evidenced by Civilization 6, the first civic that you unlock is rule of law.
01:55:45.000As evidenced by the fact that the first technologies in the technology tree in Civ 5.
01:55:51.000Our ceremonial burial and the written word and all that, right?
01:57:09.000Temple OS says, Last night's show you mentioned Stalin.
01:57:13.000I always felt conflicted growing up with American education and a Soviet father at home who always argued Stalin was a great leader and that it wasn't even close to 20 million.
01:57:24.000You know, I have always been fascinated by Stalin and by the Soviet Union.
01:57:28.000And I have to tell you, you know, even notwithstanding any of the deaths, you know, whether there were lots or a few deaths, I mean, You just have to look at some of the attributes, some of the achievements.
01:57:44.000You know, the Soviet Union was the second country in the world to develop a nuclear bomb.
01:58:28.000I mean that the Soviet regime had total control, obviously, over the country, over the Soviet empire, and within the regime, Stalin had totalitarian control over the party and over the government.
01:58:44.000And, you know, we can say that the rapid industrialization of Russia, the creation of this imposing army, the biggest nuclear arsenal in the world, you know, the defeat of Adolf Hitler and the Axis, this is an accomplishment.
01:59:02.000And we, as intellectuals, we, as intelligent people, we can have nuance and say that, you know, somebody can be a terrible person, but also a very awesome person.
01:59:25.000Some people are like, Stalin, monster.
01:59:28.000People say that about a lot of people.
01:59:30.000People say that about a lot of people.
01:59:32.000This person was a monster because of what they did, but you might say, look at what they did for the economy.
01:59:38.000You might say that as bad as somebody could be, maybe even the worst, that they brought the economy back, that they made people proud of their country again.
02:02:20.000Curious for your take if you have one.
02:02:22.000No, I didn't see the video, but you can't rise above that dialectic.
02:02:26.000You can't rise above that because that's the reality, okay?
02:02:30.000And I know a lot of academics and intellectuals, you know, try to be really clever and come up with ways to evade reality, but, you know, whether or not you believe race is real, whether or not you believe race is salient, The people that are out there protesting believe that it is.
02:02:47.000You know, if you believe it's a construct or that it is not deterministic, it doesn't matter.
02:02:53.000They're going after us because we're white.
02:02:56.000They're rallying non white people based on racial grievance.
02:03:01.000So, honestly, all this intellectual stuff, dialectics and all that, you know, it doesn't really matter.
02:05:02.000Everybody I've known that ever rode a motorcycle has gotten into a crash.
02:05:08.000A lot of people in my family rode motorcycles and they all got in accidents.
02:05:15.000Not something that's very wise, but if you do have one, I guess it's better to maybe some people think it's better to live life on the edge or something.
02:05:24.000But if you're talking about a motorcycle, you better take care of yourself, big guy.
02:10:51.000Last time I checked, he works for Ben Shapiro.
02:10:53.000Whoa, that guy that works for Ben Shapiro, that guy that's okay with blacklisting America Firsters, that won't debate them, that won't engage with them, that guy that says he wants to hang racists, that guy that says racists should get the death penalty.
02:11:08.000Whoa, he said something based about George Floyd.
02:11:59.000Silvio with a big super chat, thank you so much.
02:12:01.000He says seeing hordes of contemptible, worthless, sniveling bottom feeders wrenching down memorials of some of the most honorable war heroes in American history is really sickening.
02:12:13.000Most people couldn't hope to be 5% the man someone like Robert E. Lee was.
02:12:51.000That's the real red pill, I think, is how far we have decayed, how far we have devolved as mankind, really.
02:13:00.000Because you look at how the ancients were, you look at how we were a thousand years ago, 500 years ago, even 100 years ago, and it's not comparable.
02:13:11.000Robert says conservatives talk trash about China, but they have no immigration at all, don't sell out their own workers and people.
02:13:18.000I take that system over what joke we have right now.
02:14:14.000So, well, conservatives talk trash about China.
02:14:17.000I mean, some of them are talking trash about China because they're totalitarian.
02:14:21.000I talk trash about China because they're our enemy.
02:14:25.000And, you know, I don't care what government they have, they are predatory towards our country.
02:14:32.000So, and I would say that it's even their system is wrong.
02:14:35.000Their system is godless and totalitarian.
02:14:39.000And, you know, they're maybe on the other end of the spectrum.
02:14:42.000So I don't know if I'd say, oh, China's like the best system ever, just because comparatively, it seems like things are going better in some areas there than here.
02:14:54.000Dresden Burns says, well, the left is raising our monuments.
02:16:02.000Starcraft says, Love when BLM people feign shock and horror when there's a new video out of them getting hit by a car or beaten and pepper sprayed by a cop.
02:16:11.000Going on Twitter and just replying based to the clips is so therapeutic.
02:16:15.000What else is a guy to do when we get BTFO in every other possible way?
02:18:10.000Even when it's in the background, it's almost like a radio frequency.
02:18:14.000I can't help but think it's like screwing up your brain, calcifying your brain.
02:18:19.000Because literally, my dad will have it on in the background.
02:18:22.000I won't even be watching it, I'll be in the other room, but he'll turn it off and it'll be like, I'll be like, like, startled, like, well, where am I?
02:19:03.000Jay Rock, everybody, when I was a kid, this used to piss me off so much.
02:19:07.000Everybody used to tell me, well, you're going to have to start to like sports because if you're ever going to be successful, that's what people watch.
02:19:15.000That's what people used to say to me because I hated sports and I never watched them.
02:19:19.000I was like one of the only kids in my school that didn't watch sports.
02:19:23.000And everybody always used to tell me, you're going to have to watch sports, you're going to have to know something about sports.
02:19:31.000Because that's how business deals are made.
02:20:42.000Because you think about in Star Wars 3, Anakin kills all the younglings, and the younglings are like six to eight years old or something, right?
02:20:56.000So when you think about Anakin Skywalker, he goes into the Jedi Temple at the 501st and he kills all the Jedi, but he kills the younglings.
02:21:03.000When I was a kid, I was like, maybe he just didn't register.
02:21:07.000I didn't really think about it that much.
02:21:08.000But now that I think about it, that's like the equivalent of a mass shooting at an elementary school, right?
02:21:23.000And I was talking with the boys about Star Wars the other day, and somebody brought up they're like, Disney would never do something like that.
02:21:32.000Nothing on that level would ever show up in a Disney movie.
02:31:50.000I guess as we just go through, I'm not thinking of the word, as we go through the ruins of our country, post apocalyptic, non white wasteland, Big Sean, Matt, you know, the AZ crew, Baked Alaska, Jaden, Patrick, Party Goy with Wojak, and we'll be walking around among the ghouls and the raiders.
02:37:32.000I mean, I think whether or not we're screwed doesn't have anything to do with like Netflix taking movies off the platform, but I mean, it does show the trajectory of everything, of all of our cultural institutions.
02:37:46.000I mean, everything's being erased, even classics, even.
02:37:50.000Things that are innocuous, like Gone with the Wind.
02:43:11.000Dang Greekoid says, Although you have a no holds barred style when it comes to super chats, I find it pretty cool that you remember and differentiate all your super chatters and the history of what they say.
