00:00:12.000We're doing a lot of content this week.
00:00:14.000Today, we had the launch of America First World Report, our weekly foreign affairs podcast for our makers' support, America First Premium members.
00:00:25.000Now, this episode came out this afternoon.
00:00:28.000I recorded it in the morning, and I was having a lot of trouble editing it.
00:00:32.000I was having a lot of trouble with the.
00:00:35.000We had to go through the old Audacity program again and install MP3 encoder libraries, you know, all kinds of things.
00:01:08.000A lot of people have listened to it, and you can check that out.
00:01:11.000Remember, if you sign up for the America First Premium Membership on Maker Support, you get that and our forthcoming America First 2018 Election HQ podcast, which that's a mouthful.
00:01:23.000You might have to shorten up that title there.
00:01:25.000That one comes out on Thursday, and that'll be weekly and exclusive as well.
00:02:11.000But today on America First, we're going to be talking about all kinds of things going on.
00:02:15.000We're going to be talking about the U.S. Commerce Secretary and the Commerce Department, which has now introduced a question on the 2020 Census, which will ask people, which will ask respondents what their citizenship status is.
00:02:29.000And we'll talk about why that's a big deal, why that's important.
00:02:32.000We're going to talk about other ways that President Trump could fund the wall, possible four dimensional explanations.
00:02:41.000Who found a real golden nugget here about the budget process, which may explain why we are seeing the calculus that we're seeing from the president, as well as some other ways that he's looking into that he hinted at earlier in the week, at how he could get his border wall funding outside of the omnibus appropriations, which were paltry and exclusive to fencing.
00:03:04.000And then, last but not least, we have to talk about this Supreme Court judge, an appointee by Gerald Ford, who's talking about repealing the Second Amendment.
00:03:15.000And why he said that and what that's going to mean for the country.
00:03:18.000I got to say, this may be a spoiler alert.
00:03:20.000Maybe you guys know this already, but that's kind of a big gift to Republicans that we have the Supreme Court judge going out there and saying basically what all the left wing people are thinking, which is, we're going to take your guns.
00:03:33.000Which, when you understand the effect that that kind of anti gun and pro gun control rhetoric has in swing states, in red states for white working class people, you understand why this is just a strategic blunder for the Democratic Party to be pushing this.
00:05:21.000And it turns out that when we're looking at the budget process, there are very specific, very arcane rules in the Senate that apply to how a budget is passed in the Congress, how appropriations bills are passed.
00:05:36.000And this friend of mine, he found a very specific nugget of information, which is very critical as to why this budgetary process, why this appropriations process went the way it did.
00:05:47.000There's a very little known rule that stipulates that says that in the budgetary process, you can once a year, for one bill a year, you can pass an appropriations bill in the Senate with a simple majority.
00:06:04.000And you understand that this is a very big thing because the Republican Party has.
00:06:12.000Republicans currently control the Senate with 51 votes.
00:06:16.000And they have the tiebreaker, which is Mike Pence, and he serves as the president of that chamber of the Congress.
00:06:21.000But just in terms of regular senators, we have exactly a simple majority since the special election in Alabama, which unseated Jeff Sessions and put in place Doug Jones.
00:06:34.000And if you understand how the Senate works, for whatever reason, I think it happens to be unconstitutional.
00:06:39.000But for whatever reason, we have evolved in the Senate now where major legislation requires 60 votes.
00:06:46.000Where if you're looking at confirmations, if you're looking at major budgetary items, if you're looking at many of the bills passed in the Senate, although the Constitution says that you only have to pass a certain set of items with a supermajority, which is 60 votes currently, for some reason we do just about everything in the Senate with a 60 vote supermajority.
00:07:06.000And so you understand that this rule in the appropriations process and the budget reconciliation rules.
00:07:12.000Is very critical because if the Republicans can pass one bill per year with a simple majority of 51 votes, that's a real game changer.
00:07:21.000Because if you imagine that we've already used that, or if you imagine that we're trying to jam through a bill that is unpopular with the Democrats, that will never get nine Democrats to break away from their party and vote on it, a 51 vote simple majority on a major piece of appropriations legislation is going to change the dynamic.
00:07:41.000It's going to change what's possible in terms of what you can pass, what you can put in a bill, what you can put in a bill.
00:08:11.000So here is a chart of when this rule was invoked over the past years of the Trump administration.
00:08:18.000We saw this budget reconciliation rule invoked when we were trying to repeal Obamacare last summer.
00:08:25.000If you recall, I think it was in late summer, early fall of 2017, Republicans were racing, they were rushing to get their Obamacare legislation passed before September 30th.
00:08:39.000And the reason being was because on September 30th, 2017, that was the end of the fiscal year 2017, and they could no longer use that rule without it expiring for 2018.
00:08:51.000If they used it after September 30th, they've spent it, and now they don't have it for 2018 when they still had it in 2017.
00:09:00.000They tried so hard to get their health care legislation put to a vote before September 30th so they could invoke this simple majority rule, their one time go around for the year of invoking a simple majority in the Senate to pass the OCARE rule.
00:09:15.000And of course, it didn't end up working.
00:09:17.000John McCain came in, he went like this, as President Trump said.
00:09:20.000Everybody thought he was going to do this, but he went like that.
00:09:24.000So their 2017 use of this budget reconciliation rule failed.
00:09:28.000They went in there, they tried to repeal Obamacare with a simple majority because, of course, They could never get nine Democrats to sign off and vote on a repeal of Obamacare, so they invoked this rule to pass it with a simple majority.
00:09:40.000They couldn't do it because so many Republicans, John McCain included, turned it down that it failed anyway, and so they wasted it essentially on Obamacare.
00:09:50.000In 2018, in the fiscal year 2018, even though the tax cut was passed in December of 2017, this was in fiscal year 2018, which started in the fall of 2017, and that's how the fiscal year works, as it starts a little bit earlier.
00:10:08.000So, when they invoked the budget reconciliation rule to use a simple majority to pass appropriations legislation in 2018, they used it in December to pass the tax cuts.
00:10:19.000And so that's why, when we saw this omnibus spending bill, when the Democrats shut down the government over DACA recipients, when the government shut down again, trying to get a stopgap measure passed, but Rand Paul wouldn't let it go through because it raised spending caps and it raised the debt ceiling.
00:10:34.000And finally, we had to compromise on March 23rd to meet our deadline and pass the omnibus spending bill to fund the government.
00:10:41.000Through this fiscal year, through to September 30th, that's why we couldn't use a simple majority because we had already spent our one time budget reconciliation rule, and that's why we needed Democrats.
00:11:14.000That we blame the Republican Party for this.
00:11:16.000Because you notice that Donald Trump, if you read the Constitution, the president, the executive branch, is not in charge of the agenda of the legislature.
00:11:26.000The president is not in charge of which bills get brought to the floor, on what schedule, which bills get a vote, which amendments get a vote, and so on and so forth.
00:11:35.000That's Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House.
00:11:37.000That's Mitch McConnell, the majority leader in the Senate.
00:11:40.000And they allowed this budget reconciliation rule the one time that we could have had 51 votes.
00:11:47.000And whipped the votes and gotten a purely Republican appropriations bill.
00:11:54.000Even though the Republicans elected Donald Trump to build a wall, to build a physical barrier between the United States and Mexico to stop the invasion of our country, not just by illegal immigrants, but by legal immigrants, to stop the invasion of the country by the third world, where people in Mexico, people in Africa, people in China even, you look at illegal immigrant crossings.
00:12:20.000So, to stop the invasion from the third world of people who don't speak our language, don't share our values, don't share our God, and all the rest, and instead of using it to do good on that mandate, we spent it on tax cuts.
00:12:35.000And that's why we blame Paul Ryan for the omnibus spending bill.
00:12:39.000And here gives credence to the idea that there is some hope still.
00:12:43.000This omnibus spending bill, which was passed last week, it funds the government, it has appropriations for the government.
00:12:51.000Through to September 30th, through the end of this fiscal year.
00:12:55.000Afterwards, we get another go around for fiscal year 2019.
00:12:59.000We get another vote with a simple majority.
00:13:02.000Four weeks out from the 2018 election, September 30th, the beginning of October, we will have an opportunity to pass funding for the wall, complete funding for the wall, $18 billion for the wall, an additional $7 to $12 for the rest of border agents, border patrol, and all of that good stuff.
00:13:25.000And so I think that's a big white pill here.
00:13:26.000I think this tells us this rule tells us a lot about the physiognomy, tells us a lot about the process of why the omnibus spending bill was the way it was, why the legislative agenda is the way it is, how this reflects on Paul Ryan instead of the president.
00:13:42.000And it also gives us a glimpse into the future.
00:13:44.000It shows us what is possible here if we can lead in the legislature, if the president can whip the legislature into shape and lead his party.
00:14:00.000People are still very much upset about it.
00:14:03.000People are very angry about the fact that this monumental $1.3 trillion spending bill got passed, and it was a slap in the face.
00:14:11.000I mean, we talked about it yesterday how the provisions, the language in there were so restrictive.
00:14:17.000It was basically a middle finger to Donald Trump and his base.
00:14:19.000So we're trying to show people that the people that are doing the screwing here.
00:14:25.000In terms of the Trump's voter base and people who wanted a wall, the people that are doing the screwing, you know, when Donald Trump said, Somebody's doing the raping, Don, who's doing the raping?
00:14:35.000The people that are doing the raping, it's not Trump, it's Paul Ryan, it's Mitch McConnell, it's the GOP establishment.
00:14:41.000And to an extent, Trump bears responsibility, but you have to look at the bigger picture.
00:14:45.000Additionally, we saw another encouraging sign here over the weekend.
00:14:51.000We saw President Trump tweet suggesting that we could possibly fund the border wall.
00:14:58.000President Trump, by signing the omnibus spending bill, gave $700 billion to the Defense Department for national security.
00:15:05.000And he tweeted out over the weekend that the military is rich, the wall is a national security issue, maybe we fund the wall through national security.
00:15:14.000And so many people didn't really know what to make of that because the following tweet was something to the effect that we'll use the $1.6 billion we got from the omnibus bill and we'll do what we can with it.
00:15:24.000So people thought, well, he alluded to the fact.
00:15:27.000That he could fund the border wall with this big military budget in one tweet, but then in the next tweet he said, Well, we'll have to do what we can with the appropriations for fencing that we got in the omnibus bill.
00:15:43.000And then we saw The Hill reported this afternoon that apparently President Trump is actively looking into getting the Defense Department to fund the wall.
00:15:51.000And I'll read you a little excerpt here from that report here from The Hill, which says that President Trump is privately pushing for the Pentagon to pay for his proposed border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
00:16:03.000The Washington Post reports that Trump made the suggestion to several advisors last week, saying it was a national security issue that the wall be funded.
00:16:13.000Trump reportedly told Speaker Paul Ryan in a meeting last week that the military should pay for the wall.
00:16:18.000Ryan offered little reaction to the idea, while senior Capitol Hill officials called its prospects unlikely.
00:16:25.000So we're seeing a little bit of pushback.
00:16:28.000The advisors are maybe not so keen on it, but I think there is a little bit of an encouraging sign here that President Trump is going to find a way for the wall.
00:16:37.000There are a number of ways we could do it, and I will say I continue to see conspiracy theories on my timeline.
00:16:45.000About the omnibus bill, that well, he could move the money around.
00:16:48.000He could do something like Nixon, where he could stop the funding or he could move it over here.
00:16:53.000It doesn't have the force of law because it's not a budget, so he could spend the money differently.
00:16:57.000And all of that is basically not true.
00:16:59.000Many senators, many congressmen have tweeted about it, many journalists have tweeted about it that that's simply not true.
00:17:05.000When Congress passes a bill and they sign into law where appropriations are to be spent, remember, Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution says that the legislature, particularly the House, has the power of the purse.
00:17:19.000So, the president doesn't get to decide with too much discretion where the money's spent.
00:17:23.000I mean, to an extent, because he is the enforcer of the law and the different agencies discharge the actual money, there's some leeway, but there's not enough wiggle room where he can go against and completely violate the law and then be moving vast sums of money.
00:17:39.000Basically, what is said in the omnibus spending bill goes as far as appropriations because they constitutionally have jurisdiction over the budget.
00:17:48.000That said, President Trump could find a way to use the military to fund.
00:17:53.000I think there's definitely a precedent there.
00:17:55.000I don't see any legal barriers to using that money.
00:17:58.000As far as I'm concerned, the language in the omnibus spending bill that prevented money from going to a concrete border wall was particular to the $1.6 billion allotted to immigration and customs.
00:18:11.000I think if anybody could do it, it's President Trump.
00:18:13.000I imagine that maybe we could get some money.
00:18:16.000We could get some money redirected from defense into building a wall or as a part of a defensive project, if that's a national security concern.
00:18:25.000And then maybe the rest will come on September 30th.
00:18:27.000But I think we're definitely seeing that there is light at the end of the tunnel here.
00:18:31.000I know a lot of people were skeptical at first, and we tend to see this over and over and over again with the president, which is one day it's like 9 11.
00:18:41.000Trump says DACA is going to be passed and we're not going to ask for anything in return, and everybody's off the Trump train.
00:19:10.000And then within the week, it turns out that actually there's another maneuver, there's another machination going on that's been in the works already.
00:19:18.000And so we've seen this process play out time and time again.
00:19:31.000And we saw there was a quarter of a billion dollars going to the OIG.
00:19:34.000And we saw that there was language in there which made it so that no money could be used to restrict the OIG.
00:19:40.000And then we learn that President Trump just the next day says, actually, you know, that $700 billion, you know, the biggest military budget we've ever appropriated in our country's history?
00:19:49.000Actually, we may be able to use that for the wall after all.
00:19:52.000And then we find out the next week that actually there are rules that would allow for greater funding on September 30th in the next fiscal year and all the rest.
00:20:00.000So I think that we see day in and day out, whether it's DACA, Omnibus, Iran, Syria, I think we see that as we monitor these discouraging situations, these black pill situations, We see that it always corrects its course eventually.
00:20:15.000And so we'll keep an eye on that as we go along.
00:20:17.000The next big thing that we saw, another big positive step here, is the census, which the Commerce Department announced yesterday that in the 2020 census, they will begin asking when you get your little envelope in the mail asking you all kinds of different questions, they will begin asking about citizenship status.
00:20:38.000And a lot of people, I don't think they understand the consequences of this.
00:20:43.000So, on the 2020 census, they're going to ask basically, are you an illegal immigrant or not?
00:20:48.000And people might think, well, that's a good way to get illegal immigrant numbers, to get some kind of an accurate idea of how many illegals are in the country or something to that effect.
00:20:57.000But why are people freaking out about it?
00:20:59.000Why is there a lawsuit now that California is waging against the Trump administration to get this question off of the census?
00:21:08.000And the reason being has a lot to do with how seats in the House of Representatives are allotted per state.
00:21:16.000And many people who are good on their civics understand this.
00:21:19.000The census is given every 10 years, and this assesses the population of the United States.
00:21:24.000It assesses, you know, how many people are in the country, how many people are in different states, their gender, their race, religion, and all the rest.
00:21:50.000We know that the bicameral Congress that we have, the bicameral, meaning you have two chambers of our Congress, the House of Representatives and the Senate.
00:22:00.000The Senate formerly was the House of the States.
00:22:03.000It was the chamber where the state's interests were represented, where you have two representatives from each state, no matter what size.
00:22:10.000And then the House of Representatives is the House of the People, where you have many different representatives.
00:22:16.000You have a lot more representatives because for any given amount of people, you have a representative to represent.
00:22:24.000And so when you take the census every 10 years, this is used to determine how many, you know, because you're determining how many people there are, you're determining proportionally how many electoral votes that state gets, how many seats in the House of Representatives that state gets, and then additionally, and another component of it, is how much federal funding that state gets based on its size and based on other things about the kinds of people that are living there, income and other things like that.
00:22:51.000And so, of course, we understand, once you understand how big of a role the census plays.
00:22:57.000In presidential elections, in power, in the Congress, suddenly you start to understand why it's important that we ask about citizenship on the census.
00:23:06.000Because remember, if you have 12 to God knows how many illegal immigrants in the country, they've been saying 12 million for years.
00:23:14.000Some people say it could be as big as 45 million illegal immigrants.
00:23:25.000When you have an open border, when you have a policy of immigration where we don't enforce the rules, There's no barrier between the US and Mexico, and people can basically come in.
00:23:35.000Or if they come in on a visa, they just hang out here and they overstay.
00:23:38.000I mean, we really have no idea the scope of how many people are in here.
00:23:42.000It could be 12, it could be 42 million.
00:23:45.000And then you understand why it's important that if you have 42 million people, up to 42 could be as small as 12 million people saying, yeah, I'm Hispanic, you know, resident in the United States in California.
00:23:59.000And California is allotted the most electoral votes in a presidential election.
00:24:04.000And they're allotted the most seats in the House of Representatives.
00:24:07.000And they get the most federal funding.
00:24:09.000Well, then you understand why it becomes absolutely critical that illegal immigrants don't partake in the census or they answer that they're an illegal immigrant.
00:24:18.000And so now you understand why California is trying to sue the Trump administration to get this question off of the census.
00:24:26.000Because California knows, and many of these left wing states know, that if on the census they ask about legal residency, they ask about citizenship, they know they're going to get seats removed, they know they're going to get electoral votes removed.
00:24:40.000A conspicuous way, a subtle and implicit way of telling the world just how much illegal immigrants are interfering in our government.
00:24:49.000You know, I mean, this kind of goes to the stuff we were talking about last week, where people are so concerned about foreign interference in our election.
00:24:57.000And here you have a state government in California, which is suing the Trump administration essentially so that they can keep foreign influence in the government.
00:25:07.000They're essentially what they're doing in effect, effectively.
00:25:11.000In effect, is suing our sovereign central federal government so that they can continue to allow foreign agents, being illegal immigrants, citizens of foreign lands, to continue to control how taxpayer money is spent, to continue to influence presidential elections, who leads the country, to continue to control the House of Representatives and what bills get passed into law.
00:25:35.000And I think that tells you everything you need to know about the state of the country today, about the state of illegal immigration, about the state of enforcement.
00:25:42.000And I think it's a first step into getting these people out of here, recognizing what a problem it is.
00:25:47.000And I don't think we talk about it enough on the show.
00:25:50.000But we have to deport all the illegal immigrants, folks.
00:25:53.000I mean, to bring it up now because it's a timely issue, I think we really have to make the case clear here that once you understand just how pernicious the influence of these people is in the country, and we're not saying they're all bad people, right?
00:26:06.000We're not saying that every illegal immigrant is an evil person.
00:26:11.000In fact, many of them are good people.
00:26:13.000Probably most of them are okay people at the very least.
00:26:16.000At the very least, at the bare bottom least, we could say that they are self-interested people who are doing what's best for themselves.
00:26:24.000And I don't think anybody could really fault them for that.
00:26:26.000If you live in Mexico and it's a shithole, like President Trump said, if it's just drug crime and violence and gang violence and it's poverty and famine and drought and you're working in the fields, of course you're going to come to the United States.
00:26:52.000But if you look at it on the individual scale, these people are not so bad if they have a sick kid and they're going to do whatever it takes to get them treatment.
00:27:01.000And people might say that's humanizing them or whatever, but understand what I'm about to say next.
00:27:05.000Regardless of that fact, they all have to go back.
00:27:08.000Every single one of them babies, children, teenagers, adults, the elderly, the sick they all have to go back.
00:27:16.000Because once you start looking at every facet, once you start, and we talk about illegal immigration a lot on this show, when you look at the crime, When you look at the drugs, when you look at the rapes, the violence, you look at the fiscal situation where they're just leeching off of the public dole.
00:27:32.000If it's not welfare, if it's not Social Security, it's in the form of public schooling.
00:27:53.000We have a problem if any foreign actor comes into the country and votes not in the interest of the American people and the American sovereign land.
00:28:02.000But in the interest of their people back home and their country back home.
00:28:06.000So, and if it's not all of that, it's cultural where they come in and they don't speak a language and they don't assimilate and all the rest.
00:28:12.000And so, once we look at every facet, every individual part, where they bring all these different plagues upon the country, and what do we get in exchange?
00:28:23.000In exchange, we get McDonald's gets to hire somebody instead of $7.30 an hour, they get to hire somebody for $5.20 an hour, right?
00:28:32.000Or for your landscaping, or For your, you know, whatever service you have on your home, you get to pay a much cheaper rate.
00:28:38.000What we're essentially getting in exchange for influencing our election, transforming our culture and the texture of life, leeching off of the public dole, it's arguable if the benefit that they contribute outweighs the welfare and the public services they receive.
00:28:53.000And you look at the crime, the violence, the rapes that just shouldn't even be happening when the people are coming here illegally.
00:29:00.000And those are all the cons, and the benefit is the gross domestic product goes up a little bit.
00:29:05.000That number at the end of the year, which says, Oh, you know, our country produced this much, this amount of money and resources.
00:29:13.000We produced this much, you know, this many raw materials.
00:29:17.000I think the cons very much outweighed the pros.
00:29:20.000And if all of that isn't convincing, at the very least, it's about rule of law.
00:29:23.000And we look at two very good examples here from today where we look at the census and we see California is defending foreign interference in the election and Democrats couldn't give a hoot about that.
00:29:33.000And all these really Honest Republicans were saying, you know, I'm a Republican, but I care deeply about Russian interference in the election.
00:29:46.000They don't give a holler about the interference in our elections in that regard.
00:29:51.000But then we have another couple of great stories here from Fox News and from Breaking 911 about these wonderful people coming across the border.
00:30:00.000You had this week a twice deported illegal immigrant, twice deported.
00:31:09.000Imagine for a moment, if we can even wrap our heads around that level of empathy for the American people.
00:31:15.000Instead of immigrants, imagine for one second what if that's your daughter?
00:31:19.000What if that's your sister, your niece, granddaughter?
00:31:25.000Imagine, you know, the happiest day of your life, your mother gives birth to, or your wife rather, gives birth to a beautiful baby girl and you raise that girl and she's coming of age and she gets raped.
00:31:37.000She gets brutally raped, has sex with somebody who should have never been in the country in the first place.
00:31:44.000Not only should have never been in the country, but wasn't in the country.
00:31:48.000He got kicked out once, he got kicked out twice, and yet he came back.
00:31:53.000And yet he came back because we don't have a wall, because we're not serious about immigration.
00:31:57.000And we always hear this kind of talk, whether it's terrorist attacks in Europe, whether it's drug crimes, whether it's an opioid epidemic in the United States or rapes by illegal immigrants.
00:32:07.000We always hear the same refrain, which is, oh, it's only this case.
00:32:12.000Actually, if you look at the percentage, actually, if you look at it this way, and what they do is they make it so that these individual cases are just another statistic.
00:32:20.000When we see American citizens, That pay taxes, that are doing the right thing, that are following the law, that go to work every day, and they're good Americans, and they salute the flag, and they wave the flag, and they sing the national anthem, and they served in the armed forces.
00:32:36.000And the sons and daughters of those people are getting raped by foreigners.
00:32:40.000They're literally, not even as a rhetorical device, getting raped by foreigners who should never even be in the country.
00:32:47.000That tells you everything you need to know about the politicians that run this place.
00:32:52.000It tells you everything you need to know about the media.
00:32:55.000About the lobbyists, about the politicians, about just about everybody that this is allowed to transpire every day in the United States.
00:33:04.000If we don't get that right, if we don't get the fundamentals right, that our government cannot protect its own people, refuses, we can do it.
00:33:25.000Pakistan, we can go and defend South Korea and Japan and Germany and Poland.
00:33:30.000So don't get me wrong, we are more than capable with our huge military and technology and funding and tentacles across the world to defend our own country, our own people, our own borders.
00:34:35.000You know, people say, why should we let people in from Europe but not people in from Central and South America?
00:34:40.000Well, you know, to be fair, I don't think the Europeans are smuggling over, you know, designer or pharmaceutical opioids like the Chinese, or they're not bringing over black tar heroin like the Salvadorians and the Guatemalans.
00:34:53.000I don't think that's happening when we're bringing over the high IQ, high educated democratic people of Western Europe.
00:35:03.000It just keeps going in the clown country.
00:35:06.000And we have to laugh because if we didn't laugh, we would have to be crying because it's just so a broken system.
00:35:12.000But we can change it, but we can change it.
00:35:15.000The last thing we got to talk about here, the last big development here, which is another encouraging thing.
00:35:19.000We had an encouraging first story, pretty pessimistic, dark middle story.
00:35:24.000And now we got another encouraging story here where a former Supreme Court Justice, John Paul Stevens, who was nominated by Gerald Ford, a real winner, he advocated for repealing the Second Amendment today.
00:35:39.000And, you know, a lot of people were outraged about this.
00:35:42.000There were kind of two reactions to this.
00:35:45.000Where the one reaction was, you know, how could he say this?
00:35:48.000You're going to start a civil war and all the rest.
00:35:51.000And certainly this conforms to what we've been saying on the show all along since the Parkland shooting in February, what we've been talking about with gun violence all week last week, which is to say that they are not for common sense gun reform.
00:36:05.000To beat you over the head with this because it's important, the left does not want common sense gun reform.
00:36:12.000They may come to the table and say, we just want background checks.
00:36:16.000We just want stronger background checks.
00:36:17.000We want to close the gun show loophole.
00:36:20.000We want to raise the age of when you can buy a semi automatic rifle.
00:36:23.000We want to ban high capacity magazines.
00:36:27.000They will come to you with this collection, this assortment of regulations, which in isolation, everyone, you could understand the case that's made for that.
00:36:35.000You could understand the case that's made for this or for that.
00:36:38.000Some people would contest all of them, but I think most moderate people on the gun issue could say, yeah, maybe we could strengthen background checks.
00:36:48.000Maybe there's room for compromise there.
00:36:51.000But you understand that when they come to you with this kind of stuff, and I was there in the rally where they, you know, there's this one guy, reasonable enough guy, and he came with the sign that said, you know, here's 21 different things we could do.
00:37:01.000And I said, okay, that I could understand.
00:37:04.000And you understand that when they come with these signs, when they come with these promises and these proposals of different regulations, minimal, common sense, you know, these are the euphemisms they use, never, never, never doubt for one moment what the agenda is at the end of the day, what the overriding Goal is behind all of these little minuscule regulations.
00:37:26.000We've been passing regulations for a hundred years on guns in the country incrementally at the federal level, at the state level, at the city level.
00:37:35.000Every year we pass new gun regulations, we pass new restrictions.
00:37:39.000The Justice Department implements new things.
00:37:43.000We make it so that, you know, in Barack Obama, for example, they shut down one of the last manufacturers of ammunition because of environmental hazards.
00:37:51.000I mean, they do all kinds of backdoor gun control with environmental regulations and on and on and on.
00:37:57.000They've been doing this kind of stuff.
00:37:59.000And understand that it will never end.
00:38:01.000They will never stop coming to the table for more.
00:38:03.000They will never stop coming to the negotiating table with their hands out for more common sense, for more reasonable regulations, more background checks, and that kind of stuff.
00:38:13.000At the end of the day, they are not there to protect the Second Amendment in a reasonable way and find the common ground, find the balance between the two.
00:38:32.000All the other lefties, the David Hoggs, the Emma Gonzalez's of the world, they see the Second Amendment not as a crucial liberty, which is there to protect all the other amendments in the Constitution, which is there to ensure the Constitution, which is there to be as a safeguard against the kind of tyranny the founders wanted to prevent against, whether that be, you know, it comes in all kinds of forms, whether that be, you know, globalist tyranny, whether that be racial tyranny, you know, whatever it is.
00:38:59.000The Second Amendment is there to protect people.
00:39:01.000And these lefties, they don't see it as a protection.
00:39:04.000They don't see it as something worth upholding or valuing or even in its capacity as well regulated militia, which was turned out not to be the correct definition in the Heller versus DC case in the 1950s.
00:39:17.000They see the Second Amendment principally, exclusively as an impediment to their goals.
00:39:24.000And at the end of the day, that tells you a lot about the left, which is they see the Constitution not as something which is good in itself, not something which is worth upholding, worth preserving.
00:39:36.000Can be bent and manipulated to fit their political agenda.
00:39:39.000And if it doesn't, well, then it's just an obstacle that has to be gotten rid of.
00:39:43.000It's an obstacle that can be reinterpreted.
00:39:45.000You can bend it, twist it, squeeze it, grow it, shrink it, and however, in every way you want, so that they can get, at the end of the day, their political agenda.
00:39:55.000You see this with the First Amendment, with social media, with hate speech laws, with hate crimes, and all of that.
00:40:01.000You see with the Second Amendment, with gun control.
00:40:03.000You see it with the Fourth Amendment, with the surveillance state, with the CIA.
00:40:07.000You see it all day long with federalism, with the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
00:40:11.000You see it with the constitutional limits of congressional and executive and judicial power in the first three articles of the Constitution.
00:40:19.000And so while it is about the Second Amendment, at the end of the day, I think the broader point is about the Constitution, which is do we still think the Constitution is important?
00:40:28.000Are we still a constitutional republic?
00:40:30.000Or are we now a country where it's basically just whatever we're feeling?
00:40:35.000Whatever the technocrats in Washington say is good for us, we'll just take it.
00:40:40.000You know, it doesn't matter if it violates these fundamental natural rights.
00:40:43.000It doesn't matter if, you know, speech goes away, if the right to bear arms goes away, privacy.
00:40:48.000Really, we are going to entrust all governmental power.
00:40:52.000We're going to entrust the governance of our land and of our daily lives to the technocrats, which control the media, the banks, the Congress, you know, the globalists.
00:41:30.000God bless white people, and God bless the NRA and the Republicans and the middle America.
00:41:37.000That every time you see an attempt to take the guns, the response without fail is always the same, which is NRA membership rockets, NRA donations go up.
00:42:17.000So, I have to say, it puts a smile on my face that whenever you get David Hogg who comes up, you know, you're going to give me your guns now.
00:42:24.000And you get Emma Gonzalez, duh, give me your guns now.
00:42:37.000And every time, instead of capitulation, instead of, you know, they do their own protest or they're going to do a call in campaign, they just silently say, okay, I'm just going to buy a couple of AR 15s now.
00:42:56.000And it really is a silent, but it's one of those very ominous counter or disincentives to the Democratic Party where it's like, you can make all the fanfare you want.
00:43:59.000We're going to roll on into our Super Chats here and our Streamlabs donations.
00:44:03.000Remember, folks, check out the Streamlabs link that is down there if you're on Twitch, Periscope, Facebook, and you can't do the Super Chat because you're not watching on YouTube.
00:46:20.000It's because you're an American and it's wrong.
00:46:23.000You're an American citizen that has been wronged by the government.
00:46:27.000And so, to an extent, yeah, I guess, but I just don't think that's in our DNA.
00:46:31.000You know, Kevin McDonald, people will take one part of Kevin McDonald and throw out all the rest.
00:46:37.000Kevin MacDonald wrote his Culture of Critique series, a four part series, about initially started out as a study into the group evolutionary strategy of nomadic peoples.
00:46:48.000But he also compared and contrasted nomadic peoples with white Europeans, where he said that white Europeans did not have an in group preference to a significant extent.
00:47:17.000But by like 2060, when the demographics are not so much in our favor, and it looks like South Africa, there will be a need for solidarity among white people.
00:47:25.000But I think that's a little bit premature, at least for now.
00:47:49.000Remember on iCarly when Fred called out iCarly and then they had a big beef, and the iCarly crew went to visit Fred and they went up into his treehouse and they were like, hey, man, what's going on?
00:48:01.000And Fred was like, no, I like you, but I wanted to astroturf this conflict so we would increase our views on both of our shows.
00:48:10.000So if you're Generation Z, you caught that reference.
00:48:14.000But maybe that's what's going on with JF and Andy.
00:48:16.000But we got Problematic White Knight who says, regret giving Worski any money from now on.
00:48:56.000I mean, I think the problem there, number one, is that JF, look, I like JF, and he delivers the sober criticism, so I have to do the same for him.
00:49:06.000It just didn't seem like he understands metaphysics on the same level that Jay Dyer does.
00:49:12.000Jay Dyer, say what you will about him, he's very educated.
00:49:18.000And he is trained in these subjects, which are, I think, a little bit esoteric in this day and age.
00:49:26.000I don't think they're that esoteric, but in this day and age, when.
00:49:29.000You know, everybody's living in kind of this modernist paradigm.
00:49:32.000To start talking about, you know, metaphysics in the way that Jay Dyer does, I think it's a little bit outside the realm of experience of JF.
00:49:41.000And that's where it got, there was kind of a language barrier there, maybe.
00:49:45.000Maybe it was difficult for them to try and understand each other.
00:51:24.000Follow me on Twitch, twitch.tv slash Nick J. Fuentes.
00:51:27.000I do video game streams there sometime, and I like Twitch.
00:51:32.000Actually, I don't like Twitch because it's very difficult.
00:51:34.000I go in, for example, to edit the name of this stream, and I went in yesterday to edit it, and I go in, it says post debate analysis right now, or post debate recap.
00:51:44.000I click edit, I do America First Live, click done, no change.
00:52:08.000Game Boy says My dad shared an optimistic take on Trump's omnibus bill.
00:52:12.000He thinks Trump is going to declare immigration from Mexico a national emergency and use the Army Corps of Engineers and the huge military budget to fund the wall.
00:54:47.000So I like Rome because you get, what is it, half the production time for buildings that are built in your capital.
00:54:53.000I'm a big believer in population growth.
00:54:55.000I think if you have a good population, you're basically set.
00:54:57.000So India is ideal because they have that rule where, what is it, minus 50% unhappiness for the total population, but plus 100% unhappiness for the amount of cities.
00:55:09.000And then Germany's good because you get the bonus in the beginning where if you liberate a barbarian encampment, You get a warrior.
00:55:16.000You get a unit that flips to your side.
00:56:22.000If you ever hear me talking about cat boys, I'm not talking about anything degenerate.
00:56:27.000I'm talking about Catholic boys, which are homies, which are friends you shake hands with and you're just purely friends with, and that's it.
00:56:35.000And you go to mass with them and you go to church with them.
00:56:38.000And so when people say, Nick, you talk about cat boys.
00:57:34.000And yeah, I mean, we'll have Asian Andy in Chicago.
00:57:38.000If he wants to stop by, I'd love to have him here.
00:57:41.000If we did any kind of a live stream, we would have to be very, very careful about where we go.
00:57:48.000Remember, because Asian Andy, when they did their stream in LA, they were doing it on Hollywood Boulevard where there's tourists.
00:57:53.000They weren't doing it in South Central LA.
00:57:56.000And similarly, you can't be doing the IRL blood sports in the South Side or the West Side or even some neighborhoods down by the Gold Coast.
00:58:40.000And barring an appeal in the Court of Appeals or in the Supreme Court, the government is forced to keep accepting DACA renewals, unfortunately.
00:59:42.000So we either got to make better content, we either got to adapt to survive, or we got to change it up, or we got to engineer the defeat of Andy Worski and JF.
01:01:24.000It's so obvious to anybody with eyeballs the kind of perversity that went on at Nickelodeon for all those years.
01:01:33.000And what was so sickening was it got to the point where it wasn't even subtle.
01:01:37.000It wasn't even, they weren't even hiding it.
01:01:39.000You know, at least Weinstein, at least Weinstein, when he was abusing his victims, he had, I guess, the consideration, the courtesy to do it.
01:01:49.000Secretly and to cover it up and behind closed doors.
01:01:53.000Dan Schneider, he's just like, he's like, what's his name?
01:02:08.000You got to, in some ways, you have to say it's kind of an alpha move to broadcast, you know, instead of your degeneracy inside, your abuse inside, you're just going to say, yeah, people can find out and try and accuse me.
01:02:22.000But what a sick, degenerate, disgusting person.
01:02:25.000Shame on Nickelodeon for allowing that.
01:02:28.000Nobody, it's not a secret to anybody that's watched those shows, that's heard what went on there.
01:02:34.000So I think that's the next domino to fall.
01:02:37.000But I think it's pretty telling once you understand that all your favorite kids' shows, all your favorite movies have been made by pedophiles and rapists.
01:02:47.000I think that kind of tells you a lot about the country.
01:02:49.000You know, Charlie Kirk wants it or has it that the big problem with the left, the left, they're socialists.
01:02:56.000They want to take your guns, they want to raise your taxes.
01:02:59.000Like, no, actually, they want to take your children out of the home into daycare and into schools, and they want to sexualize them, they want to have them.
01:04:22.000I had to pressure you, I had to strong arm you into giving, just like I strong armed Jared Taylor into changing who was at the AMREN conference.
01:04:31.000Just like I called him up and I was like, hey, listen, I call the shots now.
01:04:35.000I'm the castizo in charge of the alt right.
01:04:37.000And what I say goes, and you're not going to let him speak at the conference.
01:04:41.000Just like I strong armed Jared Taylor, they accused me of doing so.
01:06:28.000There are highly prized VIP members here.
01:06:33.000We could not do the show without you, folks.
01:06:34.000Everybody who's involved in that way, thank you to my team who helps put the show together, and thanks to everybody who watches and shares the show.
